Chapter 6 Father

"How can you be so insensitive!" snapped Kia. "The Boogies just found out they lost their son and now you're playing cards!" 'She's so much like her mother. Mary lost her temper all the time,' thought Jack.

"Kia calm down, we've grieved over Oogie's death already. We don't want to grieve again for the ass," said Jesse.

"There's children here," said Bob covering Rachel's ears.

"Sorry," Jesse would have rolled her eyes if she had eyes. Jack deals another round.

"Insensitive," Kia stormed out.

"She acts a little like Oogie. Is she really mine?" asked Jack.

"She has bone showing. No skin on her left side. She's yours," said Sally. "You can lose your temper over matters like this. Remember last night with the scout and your mother giving him attitude… I won!" Sally jumped in the air over her poker hand.

"Good for you," said Bob who didn't win around yet.

"Give me all the chips," Sally laughed.

"You're playing POKER!" yelled Lucy.

"Yeah mom we want to have fun," Jesse said.

"Jessica, Queen is depress, my best friend just lost her son. How insensitive can you get," Lucy yelled.

"We feel sorry for her. It's just we don't like Oogie," said Jack. Lucy's jaw fell, she couldn't believe what her son just told her. He didn't like Oogie?

"Oogie come here!" yelled a twelve-year-old Jack.

"Wait I need a rest, not everyone can be as skinny as you," Oogie complained.

"Maybe it's all the bugs you eat," Jack laughed. Oogie sat on a rock.

The two boys were camping with the Skellingtons and now they were hiking. They were in the Haunted Forest just outside of Pumpkin Ville. Where the Skellingtons went camping every year, and this year Jack asked if Oogie could come along.

"I'm lazy," Oogie said.

"You need to not be lazy anymore," Jack laughed trying to push Oogie off the rock.

"Jack!" yelled a sixteen years old Jesse. She came running and tackled Jack to the grown.

"Jess!" Oogie got up and tackled Jesse. They were laughing and having so much fun. From the camp Lucy watched them play, with a grin on her face.

This little memory replayed in Lucy's mind over and over again. Both of them were the best of friends. She thought nothing could keep them apart. Now her son told her he hated Oogie, with all their history together and now they hated each other.

"Mom?" asked Jackie. Lucy was there frozen in place. Everyone was looking at her weirdly.

"I'm sorry just visiting memory lane," she said. Jack gave Kia a look. She was helping her grandmother. But was she her grandmother? She looked like a skeleton and didn't have any bugs. But it's better not to know. It would be worst if they knew, because the reports will be all over this story. He would know as the worst Pumpkin king in history, the one with a love child. He didn't want to know but Lucy would have never taken her in if she wasn't his. So it was his. He knew he was a Father.

It was lunch and this question starting to eat Jack up. He had to ask. Him and Lucy went out side on the bench. The yard was huge and dead.

"What's wrong?" she asked.

"It's about Kia," he said. "Me and Mary broke up because she was sleeping with Oogie, so there's a chace she's not my daughter," he asked.

"No, son I did a DNA test. She's related to me and the only one who slept with Mary and is related to me is you. When Kia was born Oogie left Mary because he knew it was yours and he couldn't raise your daughter. So I made sure she was related to me. That's why I kept calling you all those years ago, to tell you. I just gave up one day," Lucy explained.

"I feel so stupid," he said.

"I know this isn't what you expected but it's the truth," she said showing no emotion.

The rest of the day was boring.

Hope this answers your question. REVIEW.
