Chapter 15
Mom's the Word
"I really appreciate you coming to my apartment for our breakfast," Jack told his mom as he vigorously tired to keep up with her as she briskly paced to the elevator.
His mom sighed disapprovingly, "I don't understand why you just couldn't have stayed with Mary, she was perfect for you," she stated removing her sunglasses and placing them in her purse.
"Mom, she was cheating on me," he said bluntly as he pressed the elevator button.
"Well your father cheated on me, and I still stayed with him," she reminded, staring Jack down.
"He was also rich," Jack argued, then knew by the look he received that he went to far, "I'm sorry mom, I know you wanted me to stay with Mary, but I know you'll love Kate," he smiled at her name as he walked into the elevator.
His mom raised an eyebrow, "I'm sure I will," she mumbled sarcastically.
"There are a few things you have to know though," he blurted out. His mom raised an eyebrow again and looked at him skeptically. "Well she's still recovering from being attacked, so she'll have some bruises, she still has quite a bit of a black eye. She doesn't like physical contact much, so instead of a handshake just wave," his mom interrupted him with a sigh, "And she hasn't spoken a word in five days."
"What?" His mom asked flatly, not believing him.
"Her body's still in shock mom," he began but she interrupted again, "After five or six days, Jack she should be out of shock," she declared not feeling sympathetic in the least. Jack glared at her intensely, "Have you ever been in her shoes?"
The elevator dinged and she didn't make a response, "Just try to be nice," he asked, "Don't ask her questions, tell her about yourself, tell her what you do, tell her stupid stories about me, I don't care, but you have to realize that if you ask her something, she's not going to answer you."
"Jack," she sighed, "Why are you doing this? Why do you have to be the one to go through all the trouble? Why not someone else, anyone else? I'm sure this girl has family she can go to, or friends that will put her up. Why do you have to get yourself trapped in these complex relationships that never last?"
Jack stopped in front of the apartment door and fumbled in his pocket for the keys. He shrugged then, chuckled happily, "Because I love her," he stated as he undid the lock.
"Oh Jack," his mom shook her head in disapproval, "Why do you…" Jack abruptly cut her off.
"Kate," he called as he looked at his mother with a disobeying grin.
Kate walked down the stairs with her hands clumsily hooked in her front pockets. The loose material of the silk button up t-shirt mirrored the light of the room; her uncovered arms exposed various bruises in different shades, and in different levels of healing.
She waved and wore a reserved smile as Jack closed the door behind him. She walked over contently and stopped beside Jack.
"Mom, this is Kate," he introduced her as he wrapped a hand around her waist.
His mom was about to stretch her hand for a greeting, but then remembered her sons warning. She raised it and gave a weak and uncomfortable wave to Kate, "Hello Kate, I'm Eleanor Sheppard, Jack's mom."
Kate smiled a big smile, "Well mom, if you want to go talk to Kate for awhile I'll cook up some eggs and toast, and brew some coffee," He suggested as he went into the kitchen.
Eleanor followed Kate to the living room where she took a seat in a chair across from Kate. They both sat in silence for several moments before Eleanor blurted out, "Did Jack tell you about his father?"
Kate shook her head sadly, knowing that he had passed away in Australia after being drunk and having a heart attack. "Well his dad always wanted Jack to follow in his footsteps, and he didn't want any competition for him, so we only had one child. He and his father had an estranged relationship. His dad saw him more as a way to prove how good of a doctor he was, by training him to be ready for med school. I myself was distanced from him as it was, because of his father and my work."
She paused to give Kate a chance to talk, then remembered that she wouldn't, "I work in real estate," she smiled, "I have been for over thirty-five years now, but Jack still manages to make more money then me."
Kate chuckled softly, "I was so relieved when I found out Jack was still alive, I wanted to fix our relationship because of his father's untimely death," She paused and thought about it for a moment, "Do you have any family?" she asked, "I'm sorry," she apologized.
Kate shook her head and pulled out the pad of paper Jack had given her, she scribbled down quickly, 'I had a sister' and handed it to his mother. "You had a sister?" she asked cocking an eyebrow. Kate reached for the piece of paper and Eleanor handed it to her, Kate scribbled an answer and handed it back, "I'm so sorry," Eleanor replied as she read the note.
"Guys, breakfast is ready," Jack yelled from the kitchen. They both stood to walk to the kitchen, but Kate faltered in her steps, placing her hand on the arm of the couch for balance, she placed her other hand soothingly across her stomach.
Eleanor turned around and noticed Kate's state, "Jack!" she called, "Jack, get over here now!"
He looked over from the kitchen and immediately ran over to Kate helping her sit back down on the couch, "What's wrong?" he asked as he moved her hair out of her face. She lifted up her shirt to take a look at her stomach. The bruise that was fading was swollen, being irritated. Jack placed his hand gently on the bruise; Kate's skin was on fire.
He looked up to meet her eyes and placed a hand on her forehead, feeling the same temperature, "Kate, it's okay, you're body is just doing to much healing at once. It's just overloading on helping you," he explained as he switched hands trying to cool her off.
"Mom," he turned around, "Can you go to the kitchen, on the counter there's a prescription bottle, can you bring me it with a bottle of water please?"
"Sure," Eleanor smiled weakly and did as she was asked.
"Kate I'm going to give you a pill and I want you to sleep," he told her. She shook her head in disagreement, but he placed a hand tenderly on her cheek, "Kate you need to rest, you haven't been sleeping much lately, and your body needs rest so it can heal." She sighed and took the pill and water that he handed to her, she swallowed it with ease, she had had much practice lately.
Jack helped her lean back on the couch, "Me and my mom will be on the balcony if you need me," he explained after her head was placed comfortably on the pillow. He bent down and kissed her forehead gently, then smiled as he made his way to the kitchen.
The last thing Kate saw before she fell asleep was Eleanor's reaction on what Kate was doing to her son. Kate knew on instant that she didn't like it.
Kate walked into the poker room, and tried to ignore as all eyes from the table glaring at her lustfully. She quickly made her way to the bar and hid behind it, leaning on the varnished wood. She hated Anthony's poker nights, he'd invite all his fellow mafia bosses over and they'd all get drunk beyond belief.
Worse of all her job was drink girl. It wasn't bad enough having to wear clothes like hers but prancing around in front of six guys who couldn't wait to get some.
"Sweet Pea, com'mere a sec," Anthony called to her, she resisted the strong urge to roll her eyes and forced herself to make her face into one that portrayed happiness.
"Yeah?" she asked in the sweetest voice she could muster. Anthony snuffed his cigarette out in the ashtray then looked back up at her, "You ever play poker?" She cocked an eyebrow at him, "No," she said hesitantly as he reached for another cigarette but stopped short when he heard her response.
"You've never played poker?" he asked doubtfully as another mod boss dealt out the cards.
"No," Kate repeated shaking her head her dark curls swayed.
"Texas Hold'em?" he asked.
"No."
"Seven Card Stud?" he questioned again.
She sighed, "Anthony I don't even know what that means."
"Come here," he told her and pulled her down to sit on his lap, "In poker you're dealt two cards," He explained showing her the cards they got, "Now you look on this little thing engraved in the table," he told her pointing to the types of poker hands, "And you see if you have a good chance of making one of those."
"Okay," Kate nodded showing she understood.
"Alright, now Lenny is going to deal three cards, and you can use any three of those to make one of the poker hands," he explained as he wrapped a hand around Kate's waist.
"Hey, Tony, she's supposed ta be serving the drinks remember, not playing the game, com'mon let's get this game started," a certain boss complained. Kate didn't like him at all.
His name was Vito; he was a tall, husky man who looked like he could be in a strong man contest if he wasn't an all powerful mobster. He had cold black eyes that were emotionless; they mimicked those of a doll, and Kate had caught him glaring at her more then once, and she hated the way he did. But she would never say anything about it; he was intimidating without the power of over twenty machine guns behind him.
Kate didn't have the chance to catch herself before she sent him the dirtiest look she could manage, "Better watch it Sweetheart, if I see that look on your face again I'll smack if off of you," Vito threatened harshly.
Anthony placed his cards down and growled, "You lay one finger on her, and I'll break all the bones in your hands." As strong as Vito may be, he was certainly puny compared to Anthony, not in size, in numbers. All of the mobs would easily side with him in a given fight, so Vito backed off.
Kate was confused, why was he doing this? He wasn't usually so nice. Kate sat on his lap and played poker with the boys for several rounds, they usually ended up winning.
"Hey Leo," Anthony called to his right hand man who stood by the bar, "Tomorrow you take Sweet Pea, out to go shopping, I've got a couple things to take care of anyways, and she needs to spend her money on something."
"Anthony, it's okay, really…" But Anthony cut her off, "Don't worry about it, you're good luck Sweet Pea."
She smiled awkwardly, her mind racing on what was going to happen next, "Do you want a drink?" Kate asked, needing to break away for a moment.
"Yeah sure," Tony replied, "Guys what'll you have?"
Kate quickly scribbled down what drinks they wanted and went off to the bar where Leo stood waiting to help her with the drinks. Meanwhile the bosses had started another game.
Kate sent Leo a small smile as she reached for the martini shaker, when the small talk between the poker players increased she took this moment to ask, "What's with Anthony?"
"Why he's so happy?" he questioned as he grabbed the jar of olives from the mini fridge.
Kate nodded as he eyes got big, "It's kinda freaking me out."
Leo chuckled quietly, "There's only two reasons Tony's ever in a good mood," he stated, "And one of them is when he wins at poker."
"No, he was happy before I came out and they hadn't started the game yet," Kate informed as she poured the drink into the glass.
"Oh," Leo said desolately, Kate looked up at the tone of his voice, "What's the other reason?" she asked. Leo met her eyes and she could see the despair crowding, "Leo, what's the other reason," she asked slightly frantic.
He ran a hand through his dirty blonde hair and sighed, "The other reason is when he kills someone, Katie."
Alright so show of hands, how many of you hate Jack's mom? Not all of you yet, of just wait. Her and Anthony should hook up and have a spawn of the devil baby succubus. Now I have to tally up the votes for whom you guys want to answer the questions.
Ethan: I'm going to win!
Alright it's a 3 way tie between Jack, Shannon, and Boone. So I'll have to do what any intelligent person would do (and since my mom isn't home) 'Bubble gum in the dish' (I would've done "Arty Farty but I forgot it! WHY?)

A/N Remember to pick who you want to answer the questions for next time. And remember Kate can't do it until she talks in that chapter ;) Also I want to know (Because I'm close to finishing this story) If you want the suicidally sad ending or the pukingly fluffy ending (Like I have to ask) but I figured I'd give you a choice.
