Chapter 42:
"See now if we redo the attic and make it into Mush and Fire's bedroom they can stay here till they find a place to live and Mush gets a job to support his family. It's that simple Joe. The attic has an old bathroom in it too. With some work it can be as good as new. I mean come on where are they gonna go. Fire's pregnant and has a son and Mush is an idiot who knocked her up. This was I can keep an eye on Mush and the way he treats my little sister. This way she is surrounded by people who love her. What do u say Joe?"
"Fine Spot yo convinced me. You and the rest of the guys start working. Where are the newly weds anyway?" Joe asked.
"For once in your life shut the hell up Fire!" Mush yelled slamming the lobby door.
"Don't you tell me what to do! I'll do what I want and say what I want. Your such a jack ass!" Fire walked into the kitchen. Spot and Joe both looked at her wide eyed. Mush then followed.
"How's being married?" Spot asked with a little smirk. Fire snorted. "Very lady like." Fire smiled and walked over to the freezer and grabbed the ice cream. "That's so not fair that she gets all the goodies for getting knocked up." Fire glared at Spot. Fire opened the refrigerator and got the fudge out.
"If you excuse me I am gonna go read my book." Fire started out the kitchen but Spot stopped her.
"Your sleeping in the guest room tonight. Its big enough for u and Mush." Fire ripped her arm out of Spots grip.
"No way in hell. I can't….." Mush put his arm around Fire's waist.
"What's wrong little wife of mine." Mush kissed her cheek and smiled. "We're gonna be sharing a bed for the rest of our lives." Fire took a spoonful of ice cream and smashed it in Mush's face.
"Fire seriously…. We don't have room for Mush in the boy bunkroom and you and him cant fit in your bed. it's the only thing. We already moved your stuff in there. Your guys new room will be in the attic but its not even close to being done so till then." Fire stormed off to the guest bedroom. Spot patted Mush on the back .
"Your gonna have a fun life…. Here's a towel." Spot threw the towel and Mush and walked away.
"There has to be a reason behind Spot's weirdness.," Joe whispered.
****later that night****
"Fire can't you stop reading. That light is to bright and I wanna go to sleep. I gotta get up early tomorrow." Mush leaned over Fire and turned off the light but Fire just turned it back on.
"Cause of you Mush I have been reading the same line over and over again. SO please shut up and let me finish this chapter." Mush turned the light off again. "Fuck Mush. What the hell is your problem?" Fire said turning the light on. At that point Jimmy started crying. Fire threw her book at Mush and got up.
"No you read I stop the noise." Mush pushed Fire back down and got up. Fire picked her book up but she couldn't read it. She couldn't stop watching Mush trying to get Jimmy to go back to sleep. Never once did Slick hold Jimmy. Never once did Slick have that look in his eyes like Mush did. Mush looked at Jimmy like he was his own son. Mush looked up from Jimmy and ver at Fire. Fire shook her head and looked down at her book. After about ten minutes Fire gave up on reading and and Mush had gotten Jimmy to go back to sleep. Mush climbed into bed and Fire looked at him.
"Thanks." Mush leaned over and kissed Fire lightly on the lips.
"Night Mrs. Meyers." Fire glared at Mush and turned away while Mush just gave a little laugh.
"Bastard."
"Bitch."
