Yes, yes I know I'll be honest. I forgot to update plus I had trouble coming with ideas, give a round of applause to Kudleyfan93. She's the bomb. Ok. This is literally the longest chapter of New Neighbor that I have typed. (I'm not kidding) There's more Jack, and we'll meet Margaret's parents!
Bruno Mars: Ryan! I'm so proud of you.
Me: Uh...love you too Bruno. Sign this for me *hands over paper*
Bruno Mars: Sure! *signs* Wait! Is this a marriage contract?
Me: Uh! Story time!
Jack sat in his chair, looking at Mr. Haddad, Margaret's father, "Dude. I don't know where she ran off to. I sent my boy Henry to go search the mountains but I think the idiot went to find some hookers"
Mr. Haddad glared, "My daughter was placed in your care and what did you do with her?!"
Jack shrugged, "Listen, Morris! We'll find her. Margaret was screwing some blue jay then they moved out together"
Morris growled, "I want this blue jay found and brought to me" He looked at Jack, "You're a good son-in-law. And I want to give you the family business but…you need to have Margaret with you"
Jack nodded, "Well. What if I married Daphne?"
Morris shook his head, "My other daughter is already married. Besides. Margaret's my oldest daughter, she'll be in charge of taking over the family business"
The robin chuckled, "Morris. We'll find her. Rosie and her will eventually give up their hiding spot"
The older cardinal didn't seem impressed, "Really? How do you manage to find them now"
Jack chuckled, "Delita! Artie!" He called.
Two blue jays walked through the door, one was a female, one was a male. "Yes sir"
"These are my two 'helpers' Dakota is going to get Mordecai away from the family while Artie is going to bring Margaret here"
Morris nodded, "Hm…I like that Jack. But what about Rosaline"
"Who gives a shit about Rosaline. She's dead weight. I want sons Morris" Jack glared. "And my boys think that sex with a six year old isn't good"
The cardinal thought for a moment, "Rosaline is my granddaughter. The reason why, Margaret's so willing to do everything"
Carlos peeped, "Dude. We don't even know who her father is" He looked at Jack, "you remember"
Flashback:
Margaret was tossed on the bed, the horrific smell of the mattress made her wanna puke, hard to believe she slept on that thing every night.
Jack pried her legs open, "Remember the deal. No kissing. No hugging or cuddling" He unzipped his pants.
Margaret whimpered, preparing herself.
After Jack was done, he left her on the mattress, he zipped up his pants, "Whore" He spat then left only for Carlos to open the door.
"Hey there Margie" He chirped, unzipping his pants.
Margaret groaned, still exhausted from Jack. "Fuck…my life" She felt Carlos pull her into him.
Jack nodded, "So either one of us could be her father. But that's not important. We need Margaret. So Delita, Artie. Go get him!"
Two weeks later: November 4th:
Margaret's eyes slowly opened, she smiled to herself. It was Rosie's birthday. Her little girl was three years old. She slowly arose from her bed and noticed Mordecai still sleeping, "Psst. Sweetie" She nudged him.
Mordecai's eyes opened, "Huh?"
The cardinal gave him a peck on the lips, "Can you do me a favor?"
He smirked, "It's Rose's birthday already?" She giggled, "Sure. What?"
Margaret smiled, "Could you make her some pancakes? I got a little bit of morning sick-" She hopped up and ran for the bathroom. "MMPH!"
The blue jay got up and headed downstairs, he was happy. Rosie was turning three, Margaret and his baby would be a month old in two weeks.
"Daddy! Daddy!" A familiar voice spoke, followed by the sound of her feet, "Good momo Daddy!" She ran down the stairs.
Mordecai chuckled, "Oh so it's Daddy now?" He laughed and lifted her up, "How's being three going?"
Rosie smiled hugging Katie Mordy to herself, "I wike it" He sat her in her chair. She smiled at him, "What happen when you twuned twee?"
The blue jay shrugged, "I don't really remember. But today we're gonna do everything you want"
Rosie cheered, "Yay! Like TJ, Jessica and Cooper"
He nodded, looking forward to Rosie's little friends coming over and wrecking up the place. He handed her, her food, "Eat up Rose"
Margaret came downstairs, "Hi Mordy and the birthday girl!" She lifted the young bird up, "Ooh! Happy birthday to you"
Rosie smiled, "Ta ya Mama"
The cardinal planted a kiss on her daughter's forehead, "Oh such a big girl now" She sat her down, "We'll have the cabin set up for your birthday. I promise"
Rosie giggled then stuffed more food into her beak. Mordecai looked up at the clock, "Crap. I got to get to work" He headed up the stairs to change.
Margaret frowned, "Wait a minute!" She glared, following him up the stairs, "You told me you didn't have work today! You told me you got a day off for Rosie's birthday"
The blue jay got into his jeans, "Yea…" He looked away, "Well. My boss didn't exactly give me a day off…"
Margaret glared, "So you lied to me!"
Mordecai pinched his nose, "NO! I didn't! I told you I'd help set up but I never said I had a day off"
The cardinal huffed, "You couldn't get a day off for Rosie's birthday! Did you even tell your boss"
"I DID TELL MY BOSS!" He glared, "And he said that he'd let me off early! Now stop bitching!" Mordecai's eyes widened, "Oh shit! I did not just say that"
Margaret glared, "REALLY! YOU THINK I'M A BITCH!"
The blue jay yelled back, "I NEVER SAID THAT! I SAID YOU NEED TO STOP WHINING THAT I HAVE TO GO TO WORK! AND CAN'T HELP DECORATE FOR ROSIE'S BIRTHDAY!"
"WHAT ABOUT OUR BABY! ARE YOU GOING TO WORK ON MY DUE DATE AND MISS OUR BABY'S BIRTH!" Margaret yelled, about ready to slap him.
The blue jay glared, "MAYBE I WILL!" Unexpectedly, he added, "So I don't have to hear you bitching about labor!"
Margaret covered her eyes as tears fell, "Get out!" She whispered.
Mordecai sighed then kept glaring, "Fine! I will!" He headed down the stairs only to hear Rosie's whimpering. He turned and saw a sight he'd never forget.
Rosie was hiding under the table with her hands pressed against her ears, scrunching her eyes and crying. He wanted to go and comfort her but, he had to leave. He slammed the door as he headed to his car.
Margaret sat on the bed and clenched her fists trying to keep the tears from falling. But they dripped down, she wiped them then looked at her belly. She sniffled, "What have I done! I'm a horrible person!" She went into the bathroom and dried her eyes, looking at her bump.
She placed a hand on it, giving it a affectionate rub, "Hi my little baby. How are you?" She smiled then heard crying. Margaret opened her bathroom door and headed downstairs, "Rosie? Rosie…baby girl?" She knelt down to see Rosie crying. "Honey. It's ok. It's ok. C'mere" She gently took Rosie into her wings, "Shh…did you hear Mommy and Daddy fighting?"
Rosie whimpered, "Yea. Is Daddy gone?"
The cardinal sighed, "Yea…" Rosie began to cry even harder, "b-but he's coming to your birthday party.." That seemed to soothe her. "Daddy just has to go to work"
Tears rolled down the young bird's face, "Mama. What bout baby bwother o sistah?"
Margaret smiled, "They're fine. We're going to see if it's a boy or a girl in February"
Rosie wiped her tears, "I wan a sistah"
The cardinal kissed her daughter's forehead, "Mommy wants a girl too" She looked up to see the time 10:42 am. She smiled at Rosie, "Go get dressed. Mommy's gonna set up for your birthday"
Rosie headed upstairs, settling on a Lion King shirt with jeans. Margaret started cleaning up the place, silently cheering herself up, "He'd never miss Rosie's birthday. He loves that girl"
Hours later:
Just like his boss had promised, Mordecai was allowed to come home early, but he glared, "She'll just throw me out again" He looked to see a bar, "Looks like fun" He headed inside.
The moment he sat down, a female blue jay sat next to him, "Oh hi" She waved.
"Not interested" Mordecai replied, causally.
She sighed, "Someone seems a bit upset"
The blue jay looked at her, "I have a pregnant girlfriend and a kid at home. Leave. Me. Alone" He turned to see the bartender had brought his beer.
She growled, "Hey. I'm engaged. My fiancé is parking the car. Sorry if I saw a fellow blue jay upset and got curious" She muttered.
Mordecai sighed, "No. I'm sorry. It's my girlfriend's daughter's birthday and we got into a fight"
"Who. The girlfriend or the daughter?" She seemed curious.
The blue jay sighed, "Girlfriend. She's almost a month pregnant and she got mad because I lied about taking a day off for her daughter's birthday"
The female blue jay smiled, "What's your daughter's name?"
"Rosie." He murmured, "She's turning three"
She smiled, "I have to go the bathroom" She walked into the bathroom and pulled out her phone.
Jack was sitting with Diane and Morris, Margaret's parents, "A ha! He's Delita" He answered, "Hello?"
Delita spoke, "I have a update on Margaret and Rosie"
Diane squeezed Morris's hand, "I wonder what it is"
The blue jay sighed, "Margaret's pregnant. She's almost a month"
"*sigh*She never wants to follow my rules!" Diane scowled.
Delita continued, "Mordecai and her got into a fight and now Mordecai's at a bar, drinking. Rosie's turning three today"
Jack snapped his fingers, "It's the brat's birthday! How could I have forgotten"?!
Delita opened the bathroom door, "I'll get him drunk and keep him away from Margaret"
"Artie's on his way to the mountains now" Jack sneered.
Meanwhile:
Margaret watched as TJ, Jessica and Cooper were playing with Rosie. The cardinal smiled, it was a big accomplishment for her daughter to have friends, Jessica and Rosie played with Katie Mordy and Jessica's doll, Fi-Fi. Cooper and TJ played with Rosie's Buzz Light-year and Woody.
Margaret and the other parents talked and got to know each other, a flamingo spoke, "I'm Jessica's mother, Heather"
The cardinal laughed, "Whoa! You guys look a little bit alike"
Heather smiled looking down at Margaret's belly, "So…" She laughed nervously.
Margaret giggled, "It's ok. I am pregnant" She rubbed her belly, "my…boyfriend and I decided on Alice and Shawn"
"You're having twins?!" Cooper's mother, Anastasia gasped.
The cardinal laughed, "No. We're trying to guess what the gender is"
"What would you like?" TJ's mother, Justine asked, stirring her coffee.
Margaret shrugged, "Another girl. I don't think I could use a son to be just like his father" She giggled.
The other mothers laughed along, not knowing Margaret's real reason.
TJ smiled at Rosie, "Hi Wosie"
She waved, "Hi TJ"
Jessica giggled, "Ooh! You like him"
Rosie and Jessica laughed only for Margaret to speak, "Ok. Kids, presents"
The four kids gasped and giggled at Rosie. Margaret smiled, "Ok. Now all of you sit in a circle"
The mothers went to Margaret's aide, getting the toddlers in place, Margaret saw Rosie sitting next to Jessica and shook her head, "No Sweetie. You sit in the middle" She moved Rosie then placed presents near her.
Margaret smiled, moving to watch, while Rosie looked at the door, "Wear Daddy go?"
The cardinal sighed, "He's out for awhile. He'll be here soon"
Rosie opened her presents, looking up, hoping Mordecai would open the door and give her a hug and her mom a kiss. But he didn't.
Soon enough, Mordecai was drunk. Delita had pour something in his drink making him drunk with only two beers on his breath. "Hey Cutie. Why don't we check into my hotel?" She spoke with a wink.
Mordecai looked at her, "No! You're not Margaret!" He may have been drunk but not as drunk as she hoped.
Delita growled and headed into the bathroom, she spiked her hair up looking just like Margaret's spikes, "Now let's try this again" She headed out to see Mordecai, about to get off the stool.
She hurried to him, "Mordecai! There you are! Rosie's been looking for you"
Mordecai's vision blurred, all he could was spikes. Delita didn't have spikes, but Margaret did. His eyes searched but his vision got even more blurry. "Home"
"Don't worry. I'll take you home" Delita spoke, mimicking a sweet voice.
She sat him in her car and drove off, she picked up her phone and spoke, "Jack. I got him"
Jack sat up, looking at Diane and Morris, "We got the father of Margaret's new baby."
Morris cracked his knuckles, "Great"
Delita kept driving, telling the two that the drive to the cabin would take awhile. Only to hear police sirens. "Aw fuck me!" She growled as she pulled over.
The cop walked up the car and chuckled looking over Delita. "Hot"
Margaret sent the last of Rosie's friends home, Justine waved, "Say bye bye TJ"
TJ smiled at Rosie, "Bye bye Wosie" Justine carried him off.
Rosie seemed upset, "No Daddy?"
Margaret sighed, "Ok. Mommy's gonna be honest" She knelt down, "Daddy went to get you something very special. But…" She fibbed, trying to figure out the rest of the lie, "but…he was worried that it'd take all day just to get it. So I told him to come back tomorrow. And that it'll twice as special" She poked Rosie's nose.
Rosie giggled then yawned, "I'm sweepy"
Margaret nodded, "Yea. I would be too. If I had that much food" She looked over at the mess the toddlers made on the table. She carried Rosie up the stairs and straight to her room.
Rosie smiled up at her mom as Margaret changed her, "Mama. Do you wuv Daddy?"
Margaret smiled, "Now what kind of question is that? Of course I love him. And I love you. My silly baby" She brought Rosie's fingers to her beak to kiss them.
Rosie giggled then looked at her, "I luv you more"
The cardinal laughed then laid her daughter in bed, "Alright. Tomorrow we'll see Daddy and everything will go back to normal"
Rosie smiled, hugging Katie Mordy to herself, "Night Mama"
Margaret smiled, running her fingers through her daughter's hair, "Mama loves you" She headed out of the room, then downstairs to clean the mess, only to feel her other 'little one' moving. She giggled, placing her hand on her belly, "Daddy's coming home. I promise" She continued to clean.
Delita dragged the cop's body into the trunk, "Fatty cops" She tossed him into the trunk then turned to his car, "Surely there's a camera on there" She grabbed the cop's flashlight and tossed it forward then slammed the trunk down. "C'mon Mordy. Let's drop you off"
The next day:
Mordecai's eyes slowly opened to see a unfamiliar room. He looked around then tried to sit up, only to be restrained, "What the!" He looked up to see he was tied to the bed by articles of clothing on his left wing. Then on his right wing was handcuffs. "What happened last night?!" He tried to remember, "Margaret picked me…" He blinked his eyes, "Didn't she?"
Delita opened the door and smiled, "Oh good. You're awake"
Mordecai moved his wings, "Did…we…uh…you know?"
"Have sex?" She snorted, "God no!" Delita laughed, "I work for Jack. I'm suppose to bring Margaret to him" She sat on the bed, "I'm Delita"
Mordecai glared, "What does he want from her?! All she is a nice girl and all he wants is to rape her and Rosie"
Delita laughed, "Well. I guess I must tell you. After all Jack is on his way here to kill you and take Margaret" She pondered, "Well. I guess it started when Margaret was just a little girl"
Flashback:
Margaret played with Morris's hand as she sat on his lap. Morris spoke, "Yes. What part of that do you not understand. When I pass, my little girl is going to take over the family business"
Jack's father, Diego, looked at her, "She doesn't seem like a killer. Morris. You have to understand, Margaret isn't going to grow up like you did. You're not like your father, Jasper, Jasper was a killing, cold hearted man."
Diane walked into the room with a two year old Daphne holding her hand, she saw Margaret in Morris's wings and sighed, "Margie! I've told you a billion times to stop bothering Daddy when he's talking with his 'business men'"
"No it's ok. Honey. We're actually talking about Margie" He smiled then turned back to Diego.
Diego smiled, "Well. If you insist on letting 'Margie' run the company. Maybe my son could keep an eye on her"
Morris raised an eyebrow, "How could he do that?"
Diego's wife, Cassie spoke, "He marries her"
Jack lifted his head, "What?" He walked into the room, "Who am I marrying?"
Morris looked at Margaret, "She's only five! She's not marrying him! He's like eighteen"
Diego laughed, "She'll marry him once she's nineteen" He chuckled, "It'll keep our company strong"
Morris smiled, if he said yes then Diego's company would join his and they'd be millionaires, but if he declined, his company was sure to fail. "Yes. Margaret would love to marry Jack"
Margaret looked up to see the robin, Jack chuckled, "She is kinda cute"
Diego and Morris shook hands, "Pleasure doing business with ya"
"Great story but that doesn't explain why they want Margaret! Is her father dying?!" Mordecai yelled.
Delita laughed, "Well. No. You couldn't kill Morris Haddad even if you had a silver bullet. He's retiring. And Jack needs Margaret so they can have the company" She looked at the window, "Well. I'll go check to see if Artie found his way here yet"
"Oh crap! Margaret!"
Back at the cabin:
Margaret rose from her bed, giving her belly a affectionate rub, "Good morning Cutie" She whispered to her belly. She opened her bedroom door and headed downstairs. As she stepped on the bottom stair, she saw Rosie sitting in front of the door with Katie Mordy in her lap. "Sweetie. What on earth are you doing?" She lifted Rosie up.
Rosie sighed, "I was waiting for Daddy"
Margaret sat Rosie in her chair, she began to worry. Even if Mordecai was mad, he couldn't have been mad enough to abandon her. She started making breakfast, "We have a child on the way. He would never leave me…would he?"
After breakfast, Rosie made a mess of herself, getting syrup in her hair, on her hands, "Bath time!" Rosie squeaked, raising her wings.
"That's right my little cutie" She lifted Rosie up and carried her upstairs. Margaret turned the dials making warm water pour out into the tub. She then began to undress Rosie, "My stinky baby" She giggled as Rosie climbed into the tub.
Rosie laughed then watched as Margaret scrubbed her, "Now let's get you all clean and shiny"
Artie pulled up the cabin, "Yep. Here it is" He slowly got out of the car, grabbing his supplies. "Just grab her and throw her into the trunk" He opened the door, looking around only to hear Margaret's voice. "Ok ok. Easy prey"
Margaret sang sweetly, "I don't mind spending everyday. Out on your corner in the pouring rain" She smiled.
Rosie sang along, "And she will be loved!"
The cardinal laughed, "Not quite. But free-styling"
Artie opened the bathroom door, Margaret turned, "Oh hey Mo-" She stopped, seeing that the blue jay wasn't Mordecai, "Who are you?"
"Jack sent me" He spoke.
Margaret gasped, "Oh shit!" She reached for Rosie only for Artie to grab her hair and shirt.
"Oh no, no, no" He shoved her down on the ground. "Jack needs you"
Rosie let out a loud scream, "NO! MAMA!"
Artie covered his ears only to leave Margaret's wings free, she stood up and punched him, swiping Rosie out of the tub, "It's ok Sweetie! Mommy's here" She took the young bird down the hall.
Artie ran after her, "GET BACK HERE!" He saw Margaret locking the basement door. "Oh no you don't. Get over here Margie!"
Margaret locked the door and turned to her naked daughter, "It's ok. Daddy's going to stop that evil man"
Rosie began to cry as she ran into her mother's wings. "I'm scared!"
Mordecai watched as Delita got another phone call from Jack. She walked outside to talk to him. Mordecai looked at his wing, tied down by clothes and yanked as hard as he could. He watched as the clothes became loose and let him become free.
He slid his other hand out of the handcuff and got off the bed, "What if Delita comes back in here?" He looked over to see the toilet, "Hm…"
"Yes! I'm not an idiot! I have Mordecai tied up and Artie is going to come over here and we'll bring them to you" She clicked the button then walked back inside only to growl, "Aw shit!" She looked to see the bathroom door closed. "Really Mordecai?!" She ran into the bathroom only to see he wasn't in there.
Mordecai quietly stood up in the shower and slammed the toilet lid on her head. Delita hit her face on the sink and passed out on the ground.
The blue jay swiped her car keys and raced down the stairs. "I gotta get home to Margaret and Rosie"
Artie slammed against the door, "Give it up Margie! I'm going to get you"
Rosie whimpered, Margaret looked around, then grabbed a yellow dress that was in a box, "Here Sweetie. Wear this" She changed the young bird.
Margaret feared if she was killed, Artie would see Rosie naked and rape her. She looked to see Artie had broken through some bits of the door.
"Rosaline" She moved her daughter's cheek, "Sweetie. Look at Mommy" Rosie looked at her, "Mommy loves you very much. Understand?"
Rosie nodded, "I wuv you too"
Margaret hugged her daughter tightly only to hear another door open.
Mordecai raced inside only to see a blue jay pounding against the door. "Hey what the hell are you doing?!"
Artie turned, "Who the hell are you?!"
"Margaret's boyfriend!" Mordecai snarled, cracking his knuckles. "Where's Margaret!?"
The cardinal heard Mordecai's voice and gently lifted Rosie up, "Sweetie. Sit here for Mommy ok?" She sat Rosie in the corner then lifted a box to block view of her. "Mommy's gonna be right back" She opened the door.
Mordecai grabbed Artie by his clothes and pressed him against the door, "Margaret! Call the po-"
Artie shot him a punch in the face. Mordecai dropped him making Margaret grab Artie by his shirt, she placed him in a chokehold, the blue jay threw Margaret on the ground then chuckled, "Look at Morris's baby girl now"
Margaret kneed him in the crotch then watched as his body fell to the ground. Margaret gave him a good kick to the face, the couple watched as his head fell to the ground.
The cardinal raced to get Rosie, "C'mere Sweetie" She lifted her up.
Mordecai grabbed Artie's body and threw it into Delita's car. Mordecai drove off, telling Margaret he'd be back soon.
Later:
After Rosie and Margaret were showered and dressed, Mordecai showed up. Margaret wrapped her wings around him, giving him a loving peck, "Oh Mordecai!"
Mordecai kissed her back, "I love you. I'm sorry I didn't make it to Rosie's birthday. I got kidnapped"
Rosie smiled, watching the two kiss, Margaret hugged him tighter, then whispered in his ear, "I love you so much"
He smiled, "I love you more" He stroked her back. Rosie giggled as Mordecai lifted her up, "How's being three going Rose?"
The young bird giggled, hugging Mordecai, "I wuv you Daddy"
Aw! Isn't Rosie cute? Ok. To clear something up, I know Margaret's parents' real names but they're so nice (in the TV show) and I couldn't use them in this like that. Plus. Margaret has a sister, so it's not her real family. Ok. I know I promised you a happy chapter but Kudleyfan93 gave me this awesome idea and I couldn't turn it down. Though I promise next chapter is Christmas time for these people! And ps Margaret's pregnancy is going to be like Carly in WDM. It'll be like...chapter 16 or 17 is the birth. IDK yet. Ok. Now goodnight. I'll possibly update later on LOL!
-Ryan's out
