2/14/2000, Grant-Rose Trailer Home…
After the Valentine's Day party, Michael and Macey were able to meet up again after leaving the daycare at the trailer home. When Carter return home from his part time job of working at a gas station to hide his secret identity as a bank robber. Even though he has the money in the world to help support his fiancce and two children, he needed a job to help bring in money since Macey decided to be a stay at home mother at the time after leaving her promiscuous job in the past.
A while later, Trevor managed to come back to the trailer park after his eyesight returned to normal and stealing a vehicle. When he rudely entered the Grant-Rose trailer home without knocking, Victoria taken Blake into the other room and let the adults talk about Trevor's actions.
"I can't fucking believe you, Trevor Philips!" Carter shouted while in front of the psychopath bank robber. "I can't trust you in any other place, beside here! And now you're shooting meth in front of kids?!"
"It's not inappropriate for me to attack some pussyless father who couldn't get one hit on me!" Trevor explained. "And, and, you could have been there to see how Blake and this little fuckboy kid named Mason was holding hands in class."
"This is another one of your fuckin' disasters!" Michael shouted.
"Mikey, you're siding with the ex-street hoe and him?!" Trevor questioned. "I've been your friend for nearly twenty fucking years!"
"Yeah, well Carter does have a point. And known him for a long time before you." Michael replied. "But, you getting high before showing your face in a daycare is one of your fucking disasters! First, you agree to be Ethan's godfather when you were the one who found him on Carter's doorstep. Everything thing was going good, until when Blake came into the picture you've been acting like her father, and you ain't gonna be her!"
"Ah, she'll be fine. She loves being around me, even though she's five years old." Trevor said.
"She's fuckin' three and a half years old." Carter shouted.
"I'm being the supportive uncle here!" Trevor shouted. "Mikey has two kids to take care of, beside Ethan and Blake."
"My daughter needs love from you to be the supportive uncle, not violence." Macey explained. "Michael is being a better one as her godfather and uncle."
"You need to stop having sex with Carter and using his cheap fucking gas station paychecks to get yourself lingerie to be the supportive mother!" Trevor retorted.
"You pig!" Macey shouted.
"And you're a whore-rible mother!" Trevor retorted back, as Macey's eyes widened.
"GET OUT!" Macey shouted before she jumped onto him, as they both fallen onto the floor. "Get the hell out!"
Back in the shared bedroom that the kids sleep together, Victoria was helping Blake put on her pajamas before the dark haired child went out into the hallway to use the bathroom and she noticed her mother breaking a empty beer bottle while Michael and Carter were trying to stop the fight. Then Ethan grabbed onto his sister's left hand and leading her back to the room.
"Alright then, grandbabies…" Victoria said, while going though Blake and Ethan's plastic drawers to grab a pair of pajamas for each one. "Let's get you dress up for bed."
"But it's not bedtime yet." Ethan said.
"I know Ethan David, but just let me dress you for bed." Victoria said while placing each of Blake's and Ethan's pajamas onto their beds.
Ethan started removing his clothes as he knew how to place his own pajamas. His pajamas were a black long sleeve shirt with a grey and white wolf on it and his bottoms were an all over checkered black and white print. Victoria was helping Blake with her pajamas as she was left in her pull up training diapers. The dark haired child's pajamas was a matching ballerina pajamas set with a pink long sleeve ballerina shirt with a pink and white striped cuffed bottom and a removable pink tutu.
"Then, you're all dressed for bed now." Victoria said, before all three of them heard knocking on the door to see Michael opening the door.
"Uncle M." Ethan said happily.
"Hey, kiddo." Michael said, before Blake ran towards him and the dark haired father catches her into his arms. "Hey, peanut, you alright?" He questioned her as Blake's arms were around Michael's neck.
"I'm fine…" Blake replied. "Uncle Mikey?"
"Yeah?" Michael said.
"Why's Uncle T mean?" Blake questioned.
"He's… He doesn't feel well, kiddo." Michael replied. "He's taken medicine to help him, but… it's not good for him. So, if you see him again and he's acting different, don't believe scared to tell me, Uncle Brad or your mother and father. Cause we can protect both of you from him."
Blake and Ethan nodded.
But Blake had a feeling that things won't be easy for now on after the daycare incident…
2/15/2000, The Next Day…
Carter was the first one up in the trailer home as he was sitting down at the kitchen table going over a grocery shopping list. So far, they have run out of chicken and shrimp flavored ramen noodles, peanut butter, strawberry and grape jelly and now dishwashing soap and washing detergent. As he continue writing down the list, Macey walked out of the bedroom and the along came Ethan when he went straight to the bathroom instead.
"Where's my Mom?" Macey questioned.
"I… think she's outside talking to Amanda." Carter said while paying more attention to the checklist.
"What? You let my Mom talk to her? What did she want?" Macey questioned walking towards Carter, before snatching the list away from the table to get his attention.
"Hey!" Carter exclaimed, now looking at the red haired mother.
"What did. Amanda want?" Macey questioned once more with a hint of anger in her voice.
"Babe, she was dropping off Blake's pacifier. Remember when she slept at Michael's trailer a couple days ago?" Carter explained, before taking the list back.
"I know, but why?! Why her?!" Macey questioned, before the front door open as Victoria walked back into the trailer home while looking back outside.
"It's such a nice time talking with you, Amanda." Victoria said. "We should get some coffee later on when the kids are at school." She said, before waving back at her and the close the front door as she finally got back into the warm living room area of the Grant-Rose trailer home.
Victoria looked to see Macey look at her with her arms crossed as the older mother can tell that her youngest daughter was angry at the moment.
"Mother. Who were talking to?" Macey questioned nicely.
"To Amanda, of course. Michael's wife." Victoria replied, before placing her coat on to the wall coat rack. "She'd seem like a nice woman to have two wonderful kids, like you and Carter. And she even told me that her husband is Blake's godfather. Is that-" She started explaining, until Macey walked towards her mother with the same anger expression and then the older mother stopped speaking while looking at her youngest daughter in front of her.
"Mom, I'm not going to get angry if that's what you think." Macey said with her eyes closed, covering up the fact that she felt anger boiling up inside her.
"Marcelline-" Victoria started to called out her youngest daughter by her birth name, until Macey grabbed an empty beer bottle from the coffee table and thrown it against the wall, smashing it to pieces.
"It's Macey now!" She shouted with anger.
"Darling, have you been taking your medicine?" Victoria questioned as she was taken aback by her daughter's sudden behavior.
"I'm fine, mother." Macey said without looking at her mother's brown eyes. Her long ginger red hair was covering her face as she was covering the fact that she was angry. Then Carter lead her towards the couch as Macey sat down with her hands gripping onto the couch. "I need my pills, Carter." She managed to say, without looking at him or either Victoria.
Carter nodded before running towards their bedroom bathroom to find Macey's Topamax in the cabinet. With two pills in his left hand, he managed to get Macey a glass of water before heading back towards her. Macey taken the pills from the palm of Carter's hand and placed them into her mouth, before swallowing both the water and pills.
"Thank you, baby." Macey said, while handing the glass of water towards him.
"Just relax and calm down." Carter said before leaving the two alone as Ethan finally enter the kitchen, before his father started warming up an ice cream sundae Pop Tart for him in the microwave.
"I don't want this to take over you, Marcelline." Victoria said, placing her hands on her daughter's shoulders. "Even though your father kicked you out of our home for you to see what the real world is, you'll still be in my heart forever." She said, before taking off a sterling silver necklace that was around her neck and held it front of Macey. "This is for you to have. Either you can have it or give to Blakesleigh when she gets old."
Then Macey held out her left hand as Victoria place the necklace into her palm gently, before pushing her close hand towards her daughter.
"Thanks mother." Macey said, before hugging her mother and separated from each other after a few seconds has passed.
"Just stay the same daughter that I've grown to love, Marcelline." Victoria said while showing a gentle smile before she and Macey stood up from the couch. Then Carter was back sitting down at the kitchen table while writing down more on the checklist as Ethan was halfway done with his Pop Tarts. "What is the problem, Carter?" Victoria questioned.
"Well, Miss. Victoria… Looks like me and Macey have grocery shopping to do." Carter said before he stood up. "Ethan, go get you some clothes on, and I'll go get Blake up." He said, before Ethan grabbed his paper plate and thrown it in the trash can.
"I don't wanna change, Daddy. Can I stay in my pajamas?" Ethan questioned.
"Alright, this will be a quick shopping trip, so get your coat and shoes on." Carter said, before ruffling his son"s dark brown hair and Ethan left to go back into the shared bedroom.
"Wait, babe." Macey stopped him as she grabbed onto his left wrist. "You know that Blake doesn't like to be up this early, and it takes her time without breakfast to be truly up. So, we'll be having a very sleepy daughter who will be tripping over stuff without opening her eyes."
"Well, that will be difficult…" Carter said, now facing his fiancce. "I guess I have to carry her-"
"No, I can take care of her." Victoria suggested, cutting off Carter.
"Are you sure? Blake is very moody in the morning, if she's woken up." Carter questioned.
"Mother, it's alright. We can take Blake with us, and you can stay here getting some rest." Macey suggested.
"Nonsense, I haven't babysit in a long time and besides I can make Blake some oatmeal with strawberries in it." Victoria replied.
"Don't forget bananas, she's loves them with her oatmeal." Carter said, before walking back towards his and Macey's bedroom.
"Mother, are you sure? With you in this trailer home alone with my three year old daughter, there could be problems." Macey questioned once more. "What if father calls out his personal guards to take you away, and we find Blake alone in her room? What about-" She started explaining, before Victoria stopped her daughter from talking by placing her hands on her shoulders.
"I'll be alright. If they want me to take me away from you and your beautiful family, it will have to be over my dead body." Victoria said. "And besides, I haven't seen you out of the house since you went to pick up young Blakesleigh from her Uncle Michael's."
Macey nodded as Carter came back with holding Ethan in his arms, before placing him on the floor. The dark brown child ran out of the trailer home without a coat, as his father was chasing after with his red coat in his hand.
"Okay, mother, just...be careful." Macey said, before grabbing her dark blue coat from the coat rack.
"I will be with little Blakesleigh. I'll be here until you and your fiancée comes back." Victoria promised, before Macey closed the front door after seeing her mother smiling once again.
It was more than thirty minutes later after when Macey, Carter and Ethan left Victoria in Blake's care. Victoria stayed in the living room/kitchen area while making Blake's oatmeal and Blake stayed in her bed as she was snuggled into the warm covers, having both Bun-Bun and Kuma-chan in her bed.
And all of a sudden… Blake heard the glass breaking and something hitting the wooden floors. She slowly opened her eyes as she looked around her shared bedroom while her teal colored eyes were scanning the room. Her mouth remained close as she continues sucking on her pacifier, before climbing out of her bed and walking towards the bathroom.
When she finished her daily routine that she was tough by her mother and father, she walked into the kitchen while holding Kuma-chan in her arms. But then she makes a horrible discovery when she saw her Grandmother Victoria on the wooden floor with her widened brown eyes looking up at the ceiling and blood was spilling out of the back of her long brown and greying hair.
"Granny?" Blake called out before walking towards her slowly. "Are you okay?" She questioned, before getting on her knees and shake her shoulder to get her to move but… the dark haired child was starting to get worried that Victoria wasn't waking up.
She immediately grabbed her winter boots and put them on her feet, and left the trailer home without her coat.
Michael was starting up his car as he was shivering in the cold winter air until he noticed someone very familiar who had long black hair and wearing her favorite ballerina pajamas with the pink tutu around her waistband.
"Uncle Mikey!" Blake shouted while running towards her.
"Blake?" Michael responded as he started running towards the dark haired child and picked up her into his arms. "What are you doing out here in the cold? Where's your mother and father?" He started asking questions towards his daughter as he can tell that she was nervous in her teal colored eyes.
"Granny… Granny's not waking up." Blake replied, while looking around Michael, hoping to see her mother and father. "Where's Mommy and Daddy?" She questioned.
"They're not here?" Michael questioned, before running towards the Grant-Rose trailer home which was three trailer home away from his. When Michael walked inside the trailer home, he can tell that Victoria was already dead with the amount of blood spilling from the back of her head.
"Aw, shit…" Michael said, before turning Blake's head away for her not look once more. "She's dead."
"Dead?!" Blake questioned.
"It's not your fault, Blakie." Michael replied, before walking towards the dead body. And when he got close to it, he saw a red dot appear on Victoria's body as it moved towards Michael's body and it finally reached the base of his forehead. "Fuck!" He shouted jumping onto the floor before the bullet entered through the broken window and into the kitchen cabinets, without hitting Blake or Michael.
As Michael kept Blake close to his chest, he started rubbing up and down her back letting his daughter know that 'everything's gonna be alright' look… When it's not.
"What was that, Uncle Mikey?" Blake questioned, before Michael stood up slowly from the floor.
"That was nothing Blake." Michael replied, before walking out of the trailer home.
"Wait, we can't leave Granny." Blake said, having her left hand out towards Victoria's body.
"I know, but she'll still be there. Just let me take you to my house, it's not safe in there and now." Michael said, before running out into the snow holding Blake close to his chest as he made it towards the Townley's trailer home to call for help.
If you don't remember Bun-Bun and Kuma-chan, they're Blake's childhood plushies that was given to her by Carter and Michael when she was just a preemie baby.
And that's how Victoria Rose leaves this story. Who killed her? Was it someone that everyone knows? Or was it an assassin hired by someone we might know?...
