Chapter 2

"I'm sorry the way I treated you before" Bobby said to the girl. They were sitting in the living room of the Mercer house. "Oh and by the way my name is--"

"Bobby" the girl said

"Yeah…how did you--?"

"Jack mentioned you before…somehow I knew right away it was you. I'm Natalie."

"Natalie…umm can I get you something? A beer…? No wait, what am I saying, you're pregnant!" Bobby wasn't a very good host. He wished to high hell that Jerry or even Angel were there. "How about some water?" He said.

"Thanks but I'm okay." Natalie said. "So Bobby, where is Jack?"

Bobby sighed. "I already told you Natalie. Jack is gone." Bobby could tell Natalie did not comprehend his words.

With her eyebrows raised she said "Yes…but where has he gone?"

Bobby sighed again. Why do I got to deal with this shit? He stood up and took a seat beside Natalie. He took her hand in his.

Her eyebrows rose higher. "What are you proposing?"

"Look," He began slowly. "Jack isn't with us anymore. There was a shooting here at the house. You don't need to know all the details; the point is Jack was shot a number of times. He…." Bobby didn't continue. Thinking about the pain his brother went through was too much for him. "…So yeah, you get it right?"

A tear dripped down Natalie's cheek. All Bobby could think to say was, "I'm sorry…"

However it didn't help at all because a moment later the girl burst into tears.

Oh fuck…Bobby thought. "Okay you need to calm down. Freaking out like this can't be good for the…" he paused for a moment, "...baby…." Still it seemed that anything Bobby said worsened Natalie's current state.

She looked up at Bobby as tears flooded her eyes. "I- I – I'm only 19…" She cried. "…and I'm having a baby without a father…" She cried harder.

Bobby repeated one word over and over again in his head: Fuck, fuck, fuck…. He hugged the girl so she could cry on his shoulder. He hoped this would comfort her, he also figured it would keep her quiet.

But Natalie pushed away and continued to cry. "I can't even tell my best friend..." she sniffled, "…because…. he's…. dead!"

She cried for a bit longer and then she stopped and gazed down toward the floor. "I don't have anywhere to go."

"We'll help you out." He couldn't believe his own words, even as he spoke. After all he had just met the girl, for all he knew she could have made the whole thing up. But he couldn't just leave her with no one. He had been in that position before. Jerry and Angel would most definitely feel the same way. Not to mention that she was carrying their soon-to-be niece or nephew.

Natalie lifted her head. "We?"

"My other brothers, I'm sure Jack told you about them too."

She nodded.

"Okay, than it's settled." Bobby smiled weakly.

The bang of the front door told Bobby that Angel was home.

"Bobby!" He yelled. "Your mopey ass better be awake."

Angel walked in the room. "Woah, woah. Who's this Bobby?"

Bobby rolled his eyes. "You're a fucking idiot little brother, this is--"

Angel wasn't listening. "Hey Jerry!" He called. "Check this out."

Jerry entered the room. "Angel what you—Oh hello…" he said once he noticed Natalie.

"Bobby's gettin his freak on" Angel laughed, making an inappropriate hand gesture.

"Shut-up Angel! Haven't you noticed the girl is pregnant?" Bobby said. He was about to explain but Angel spoke first.

"Shit Bobby, what did you do!"

Even Jerry was shocked. The idea of Bobby Mercer as a father definitely did not sit right with Jerry. "Bobby when did this happen?"

"Not me you idiots! Its Jack's baby!" Bobby yelled.

"Oh." Angel and Jerry said at the same time.

Natalie's eyes darted back and forth between the 3 brothers. She bit her lip and decided to concentrate on the floor…

Bobby took his brothers aside and explained to them that the girl had nowhere to go and needed their help.

Angel, now being serious wasn't sure this was a good idea. "I know she says she's carrying Jack's baby…." He whispered. "But we just met the girl…and even if she is telling the truth we don't exactly have the safest home to offer her."

Jerry nodded. "Not everyone was against Sweet…we may have some powerful enemies out there."

"Whatever. Give it a few days. Mom helped us out, and I know I didn't deserve it. She seems okay, and she deserves a chance. As for the safety issues… Sweet was a dick and nobody liked him. It's been fine up to now. Besides she doesn't have anywhere to go…"

"For once Bobby, I actually agree with you." Jerry said.

"The mans making some kind of sense for once." Angel laughed. "I'm going to go introduce myself properly to the girl."

"Jerry, maybe you can get Camille to help us out. Natalie is kind of freaked out…"

"Yeah Bobby, I'll let her in on the situation."

"So, Natalie is it? I'm Angel."

She smiled. "I know. Jack told me about his brothers. Bobby, Jerry and Angel.

"Oh yeah… what did he say?"

"He said, that even though at first glance, you all seemed violent and unapproachable, having you guys on his side was the best family he could ask for."

Angel was surprised. "He said that?"

"Unh huh." Natalie nodded. She looked very sad and sighed. "Jack is dead, but I can see what he was talking about."

Angel's jaw dropped. "Dead? Who said he was dead?"

Now you review!
