Chapter Thirteen: A Secret Lie Always Comes Back

It had been three weeks since Squid and Brianna found out Squid's father had been killed in a car wreck. Squid laid in bed wondering where Brianna was. It was three in the morning and she still hadn't come home from work. The law firm usually closed about ten but Brianna was always home before that unless she had some extra work to do. He was growing worried. She would've called by now.

"Daddy..." yawned Mitchell coming into Squid and Brianna's bedroom. "Where's Mommy?" he asked innocently. Squid sighed.

"SHe hasn't gotten off work yet... Just go back to bed Mitchell ok?" Squid insisted. Mitchell pouted but soon gave in and walked back to his bedroom. Squid was about to go to sleep when the phone went off. He quickly grabbed it and answered. "Hello?" he said, groggily.

"Alan? It's Bri..." whispered Brianna's voice over the phone.

"Bri! Where the hell are ya?!" shouted Squid.

"Uhm... With my uh... son..."

"What!?"

Brianna paused, "Ok... Alan I lied to ya once... When Marcus got me pregnant after he raped me... I was gonna get an abortion. But... I got scared because Shaily told me stories about abortion chop shops... So I didn't go through with it..."

"WHAT!?! SO YOU HAVE A GOD DAMN KID BY MAD DOG!?"

"Yes... But Alan... I-I... He found me. Marcus didn't have enough time to tell you that I left him with the baby. He killed himself before he remembered that. I'm so sorry Alan, but we hafta take him or put him up for adoption but Richard is my kid and I don't wanna give him up..." Brianna explained. Squid rubbed his forehead and sighed.

"Alright bring him home... But hurry up it's late!" Squid told him.

"THanks baby..." Brianna told him and hung up.

* Fifteen Minutes Later *

"Uhm, hey Alan," Brianna whispered nervously.

Behind her was a teenaged looking boy. He had brown hair and dark navy blue eyes, but there was an innocence in his eyes that you could find in Brianna's. His brown hair fell into his eyes, feathered across his forhead and was extremely messy in the back. He had a slight build on him and he was about the same height as Brianna. He wore worn out sneakers, a pull over sweatshirt that was black, and he had baggy blue deniem jeans.

"This is Richard Issac Barlow-Sheldon, Alan..." Brianna whispered.

"How old is he?" asked Squid.

"Fifteen..." mumbled Richard. "I got my permit last month..." The boy reached into his back pocket and pulled out a leather wallet. He searched through it and then pulled out a card and held it up for Squid to see. It was his driver's permit.

"Ok. God. I need to think..." Squid muttered. Brianna frowned. "What?"

"Honey... This may not be the best time but uh-could I see ya in the kitchen for a minute..." Brianna pleaded. Squid nodded, sighing annoyed and followed his wife into the kitchen.

"YER WHAT!?!?! OH YA PICKED THE PERFECT TIME TO TELL ME BRIANNA! JESUS CHRIST! I THINK I'M GONNA HAVE A GOD DAMN NERVOUS BREAKDOWN!" shouted Squid from the kitchen.

"WILL YA SHUT UP! MITCHELL'S ASLEEP DAMMIT!"

"HYPOCRITE!"

"ALAN DON'T START!"

"ME?! ME?! OH GOD YER THICK BRIANNA! JESUS CHRIST!!"

"ALAN YA SAY ONE MORE WORD AND I'LL-"

"YOU'LL WHAT!?!" SHouted Squid as he followed Brianna out of the kitchen. She went into their bedroom and grabbed a drawer of his cloths. She put the drawer on their bed and opened the window and then threw his cloths outside. "BRIANNA!? WHAT IN HELL!? JESUS CHRIST!" shouted Squid running outside to get his cloths. Brianna locked the doors on him. "LET ME IN!"

"NO!"

"BRI! PLEASE!"

"NO!

"IT'S MY HOUSE TO Y'KNOW!"

"NOT TONIGHT!"

"GOD! BRIANNA! PLEASE!!!!!!"

"NO! GOOD NIGHT SQUID!" With that Brianna slammed the window shut. SHe went back into the living room and sat on the couch. She started to cry. Richard sat next to her. He put his arm around her.

"Hey mom... It's ok..." Richard whispered, gently to her.

"I'm sorry Richard... I'm sorry for leavin' ya with Marcus... But I was fourteen... and he raped me..."

"It's ok mom... I understand..."

Brianna wiped away her tears and took a few deep breaths. "Well let's go get ya a room..." she whispered. Richard smiled. "I hope ya don't mind the guest room," Brianna told him as she and Richard walked down the hall and into the empty guest room. Richard went inside and shook his head.

"It's ok mom..." Richard told her. Brianna smiled.

"We'll get yer stuff tomorrow ok?"

Richard nodded and smiled at his mother who was only fourteen years older than him. Brianna smiled back. "G'night, Rich," she whispered.

"G'night, mom," Richard yawned. He shut the guest room door and got into the bed. He fell asleep. Brianna sighed and went to the front door. She looked through the window and saw Squid still picking up his cloths in the front yard. She felt guilty and unlocked the doors. She went outside and helped him.

"Bri!?" Squid blinked.

"I'm sorry..." she whispered.

He sighed and kissed her lightly, "It's ok." Brianna returned the kiss, gratefully. After picking up the cloths Brianna had dumped outside in the front yard, Brianna headed to the front door. Squid stayed put.

"Alan? Aren't ya comin'?" she asked, confused.

Squid smiled, "Yeah." He followed her back inside, holding his cloths. Brianna collasped into her side of the bed, not even bothering to change into her pajamas. Squid laughed and got in beside her. "I can't believe it... We already have two kids..." Squid moaned. Brianna laughed.

"And another's on it's way..." Brianna whispered to Squid. "Hopefully this one's a girl..."

Squid rolled his eyes.

"What?" snapped Brianna. "Don't make me, make you sleep on the couch mister!"

Squid's eyes widened and he looked shocked. "No no! That's ok! I'll shut my mouth now..." He told her. Brianna burst into laughter. He stared, "What?"

"There's the most difficult task for one Alan "Squid" Smith... Keeping his mouth shut..." Brianna laughed. Squid kissed her neck.

"Now yer the one being a big mouth..."

"I love you..."

"I love you too..."

"G'night Alan..."

"G'Night Brianna."

* Next Morning *

"Brianna! What in hell are ya doin' in the bathroom!?" shouted Squid.

"Throwin' up!" she replied, angrily. Squid blinked and cringed.

"Thanks for the info, Bri."

"YOU ASKED SQUID!"

"Jesus! I'm kiddin'!" Squid told her in shock. She was moody all of a sudden.

"DADDY!!!" shouted Mitchell running into the room. "I'M HUNGREY!!!"

"Mitch wait a minute ok?" Squid told him. Mitchell pouted. Squid rolled his eyes and knocked on the bathroom door. "Bri, sweetie, I'm gonna take Mitch and Richard out to eat ok?" He heard a retching sound and he cringed again.

"Whatever. Don't be mean to Richard!" Brianna shouted between her periods of throwing up. Squid sighed and left the bathroom door and then drug Mitchell away by the collar. Mitchell was pouting and saying things that reminded Squid of well, himself.

"C'mon. We're gonna eat. RICHARD!"

"Yeah?" asked Richard coming out of the guest room. Mitchell instantly hide behind Squid. Mitchell had a timid and innocent look on his face.

"We're gonna eat and Mitch get from behind me... He's yer half brother," Squid told Mitchell. Mitchell blinked in confusment. "That's yer mother's other son. She had him with someone else. You'll understand someday ok?" Mitchell nodded and followed his father outside with Richard walking behind. Mitchell got into the backseat and Richard in the front passanger's seat. Squid drove. "Richard... I'm gonna hafta talk with ya ok?" Squid mumbles.

Richard nodded nervously.
