Chapter 6 enjoy!

Yeah, I know, I don't own Stephanie Plum and her friends, if I did, lord knows this series would have been Morelli free and have more sex in it!

Lords and Daddies

"Are you sure we should be doing this?" Jeanne asked the person in the driver seat of the black SUV, "This is a stupid idea, you've had several stupid ideas, Plum, but this one takes the cake, Ranger's going to kill us when he finds out what we're doing."

Stephanie rolled her eyes, looking over to Jeanne, "Oh when did you because a nervous nelly? Besides, are you going to tell Ranger what we're doing, are you going to be a snitch?"

"I'm not being a nervous nelly, besides, there's one more person with us that's going to get killed too," Jeanne said pointing to Heidi, who sat in the back, in her car seat, staring outside the window, "You know we have Heidi."

Heidi perked up, looking over to Jeanne and Stephanie. She smiled and said, "Mew!" pointing to the kittens on her shirt.

"That's right, Heidi, Auntie Jeanne and I are going to get you a kitten!" Stephanie said with a smile, turning left onto a back road, and pulling into the Trenton's Humane Society, "Won't that be great!"

Jeanne turned to Stephanie and asked, "What happened to not nurturing those maternal feelings, Plum?"

"I'm not feeling maternal!" Stephanie snapped, parking the car, "I'm just teaching Ranger a lesson! He can't tell me what I can and cannot do!"

That was what Stephanie kept telling herself, it was to get back at Ranger. She had come back from catching skips, and had ound Heidi in Tank's office playing with a bunch of kittens. It had been an adorable sight, one that had Stephanie's inside turning into mush. But Ranger had been the buzzkill, and had told Tank to get rid of the kittens. Then he turned to Heidi, who had motioned in a way that told them all that she was keeping the kittens, and told her that she couldn't keep the kittens. Stephanie gut had clenched when Heidi's mouth wobbled, and those pretty amber eyes had filled with tears, but she had to give the baby some credit, she didn't cry and throw a tantrum, she had just sulked in her bouncer for the rest of the night. Stephanie told Ranger that she would keep a kitten, but he had told her that she couldn't keep one either. So now, she was teaching the bastard a lesson, not to make Heidi happy….yeah….

Jeanne pulled Heidi out her car seat and placed her on the ground, holding her small Swiss chocolate toned hand. Both women could tell that Heidi was quite excited to be where they were, she was going to get a kitten soon! Stephanie had to grab Heidi when she slipped out of Jeanne's grasp and went running to the front door of the Humane society.

"Calm down, we'll be there soon!" Stephanie said carrying the wiggling girl over to the building.

The group entered the cool building and over to a front desk, where a woman sat watching them walk up to her.

"Hello!" Jeanne said with a smile, grabbing Heidi by her waist and cradling her with one arm, while grabbing Stephanie with her other arms, "My wife and I are here to pick out a pussy for our lovely daughter! She's following in her parents' footsteps and picking out the perfect pussy cat."

"JEANNE!" Stephanie raged, turning to the woman, who held Heidi up to protect her from Stephanie's wrath, Don't say stuff like that, you nit!"

Stephanie smiled and said, turning to the woman behind the front desk, "I'm not a lesbian, we're not together, this isn't our-"

"Stephanie Plum, oh my god! It's me Diana Young, we were lap partners in Chemistry in high school!" The woman behind the counter said, her eyes bright, "Now I know why you and Joe didn't work out, it's okay, I'm not a homophobe, get your love where you can right, besides, your wife is hot!"

Stephanie groaned, feeling Jeanne preen beside her, "Please, don't give her any ideas, anyways, can we just go pick out a kitten for the girl?"

Diana got up and said with a smile, "Follow me and we'll pick out the perfect kitten for your daughter!"

They walked down a long soft blue hallway over to a set of double doors that had kittens and paws painted on it. Diana opened the door to reveal a large bright room that had several kittens in it playing with the toys that were scattered around the area. Heidi smiled brightly and then slid out of Jeanne's arms to play with the kittens.

"Aww, look how happy she is, I bet Mrs. Plum is happy now that you have a child," Diana said looking over to Jeanne and Stephanie a smile on her face.

"Uh, but I-" Stephanie started, but Diana stopped her by asking, "You did tell Mrs. Plum right?"

"No she didn't," Jeanne said, rubbing more salt in the wounds, "She's hiding our relationship, because she's ashamed!"

Stephanie gave Jeanne a glare, before she tried to explain the truth, but Jeanne wasn't helping at all. Jeanne snickered softly, watching Heidi crouch down to watch a kitten drink from a bowl of water. Jeanne had to run over and get Heidi as she mimicked the kitten and drunk from the bowl as well. Heidi pouted but then was distracted by a tiny scraggly looking kitten in the corner of the room. It was black with a white spot in the middle of its head. It was watching the group of humans with deep amber eyes.

Heidi slid out of Jeanne's hands, and made her way over to the tiny kitten, said kitten sitting up as Heidi came over to it. Heidi leaned down, holding her hand out to pet the kitten.

"Oh dear, that's our newest arrival, he doesn't like humans, and he really hates children!" Diana said watching Heidi's hand go down to pet the kitten, "I would grab her!"

Jeanne let out a sound and made to grab Heidi, but paused, seeing the kitten lift its head, so Heidi could pet it. The kitten let loose a long meow and then rub its body against Heidi. Heidi clapped her hands, pointed to the kitten and then at herself, "Mew!"

Jeanne picked Heidi and the kitten up and asked the toddler, "This one?" earning a head nod, "Okay, we're taking this one with us."

"Okay! I'm sure since he seems to be so nice to your child, they'll bond quickly!" Diana said before she turned to Stephanie and said, "Now, let's get him tagged and fill out the paperwork, and you, tell your mother about your child and wife."

"I get a feeling she's going to know by the end of the day," Stephanie sighed, watching Jeanne poke at the kitten, "Come on children…."

"Experiment 089 Is growing at an exponential rate, Sir," The woman said softly to the man that stood close by to a ceiling to floor window that over looked a busy city, "At the rate she id growing, she'll be at the age she had been before she died in less than a week."

The man looked up and over to the skyline of the city. He had bought this building for a reason, because it was facing east to the skyline. It gave him a perfect view of everything. The man smiled and said in a low voice, "She gets stronger every day, as she grows, the Tree grows as well, soon the time will come when we can snatch experiment 089 up and do what we've started 2000 years ago."

The woman smiled softly and said, "As long as you're happy, I am happy too."

The man smiled and turned to the woman, he walked over to her small frame and kissed her lightly on the lips, "You will always stand with me, my darling, through thick or thin."

The woman smiled softly and said, "I will, I love you…."

The man smiled and said, "Good, because we will be tested soon, I hope you are prepared, there are still forces out there that will try to stop us, but we won't let that happen, we will rebuild this planet into the world we desire."

The woman hugged the man and said, "Don't ever leave me, please, stay with me forever."

"I will stay with you forever, you know I only love you," The man said lifting the woman's chin up and kissing her lips, "Only you…."

The woman buried her face in the man's chest, he eyes filled with tears. Her mind had been on in past, thinking about something that someone had told her a long time ago. She could still see them, wrapped in deadly looking thorns tied up to the back of a white tree. She could still see those amber eyes, dull from the pain and filled with unshed tears, those tears, they had been for her. The woman had watched as the person opened their mouth and say to her, "I'm so sorry….."

Diesel frowned, sitting back in the plush blood red chair that was situated in a bright room. He rubbed his face and looked down at the drawing that he was given by one of the officials. He had never seen anything like this before. What in the hell is going on?

"So, are you saying that there are several of our kind that can see it in this world and in the human world?" Diesel asked, sitting up and looking at the man, earning a nod, "What the fuck Is this, do the ones who can see it, do they know what this is?"

"No they have no clue, it leads me to believe that the ones who can see this item have had past lives." One official said softly, looking up at Diesel, who sighed and shook the hair out his face, "Which seems to be the only valid answer, they also found symbols of some sort on their wrists, a few days back they must have been part of some group."

Diesel looked down at the drawing, seeing a tree, which towered above skyscrapers in the skyline. It was white, with white leaves. What did this mean? Why were people seeing this now?

"We need to figure this out quickly, this might cause a problem." Diesel said softly, looking around at the people in the room, "I want to know what this tree is, and why only certain people can see it, you all are dismiss."

The officials nodded their head, and quickly left the bright room, well, all of the officals except for one did. Diesel rolled his eyes and then said, "Yeah, yeah, I know, Rebecca, I know what I need to do."

"You need to find a mate and soon, you know what's going to happen soon," The short older woman said putting her hands on her hips, "You and your family will be booted out of the demon world for good, and another family will take your place to rule this world."

Diesel sighed and said, "Okay, I know that, just…how long do I have to pick out a mate?"

"Two weeks, and that's it, that's all the extended time I can give you, you need to hurry up, Lord Vashmen, or else." Rebecca said watching Diesel's eyes widen, "That's right, you only have 14 days!"

Diesel swore loudly as Rebecca left the room; fuck! He only had 14 days to find a mate, great, how was he going to pull this off? He wasn't into any woman as of yet, and they had to be of high ranking and blah, blah, blah…being a lord sucked. Diesel rubbed his face and groaned. He wondered what his friends were doing, he should go on and see them, maybe that will cheer him up.

Diesel smiled and with a puff, the lord of all demons disappeared with a puff of white smoke.

"Ranger's going to kill you," Lester sang to Jeanne and Stephanie, who were setting up a corner for Heidi's new kitten. They had chosen to put the kitten's bed in the office that Ranger rarely used on the 7th floor penthouse, "He's going to kill you!"

"No he isn't," Stephanie said pouring water into the cat bowl, watching the scraggly looking kitten drink from it, "Besides, it's all for Heidi, not us."

"Yeah, besides, if he kills Plum, where would he get some pussy from?" Jeanne said earning a punch from Stephanie, "Plum, you're so cruel!"

Lester chuckled, his eyes on Heidi, who was petting the kitten, her eyes wide with wonder, "Well, as long as Heidi gives him cute looks and junk, we should be fine."

"Yeah, we should be fine with Ranger, but Stephanie's mom is another story, she's gotten wind that Stephanie's a lesbian with a wife and kid, and has been calling her daughter non stop for the last five hours!" Jeanne said going over to Heidi and the kitten, "Stephanie had to turn off her phone, it was so funny!"

"I wonder where she got the idea that I was a lesbian?" Stephanie asked, watching Jeanne snicker some more, "Shut up Jeanne!"

Lester whistled and said, "Damn Steph, she must be pissed, I can't believe your mom would flip about that, if you were a lesbian, which we all know you're not."

Stephanie sighed and sat down in the rarely used office chair, "My mom has it in her head that if it's not 'Burg, then it's not life, she's adamant that everyone should live like that, that we should all be stepord wives and husbands, raise 2.5 kids, and have a pot roast on the table by five."

"Your mom is a crazy bitch," Jeanne said toeing the kitten, so it would attack her shoe, "When I told my parents I was a lesbian, they tried to set me up with all these sexy girls, those are parents, they accepted me for all my flaws and lifestyles."

"And it's just my mother too," Stephanie said, watching Heidi and the kitten play with Jeanne's shoes, "My father doesn't mind and my grandma would ask questions about it."

"Well, we got your back, if she decides she needs to interrogate you," Lester said, just as the front door to the penthouse opened, "Shit! It's Ranger!"

Stephanie Jeanne and Lester scrambled out the office and closed the door, hiding Heidi and the kitten. Ranger was standing there, looking at them with one eyebrow rose. Stephanie smiled and said, "Oh Ranger, you're back, what's up?

"Nothing, what are you three doing?" Ranger asked, walking over to the three, who were pressed tightly to the door, "Babe, Jeanne, Santos."

Heidi's sleeping in there; don't mess with her, Manoso!" Jeanne said, crossing her arms, giving Ranger a glare, "Buzz off!"

"This is my penthouse," Ranger said, earning a loud, "So!" from Jeanne, "I'll go where I want to, Jeanne, and right now, I need to get some papers from the office, I won't wake Heidi up."

"Mew."

Ranger looked over each person and said, "That sounded like a cat."

"No it wasn't," Lester said playfully punching Ranger on his arm, earning a growl, "IT was Stephanie's phone."

"Mew!"

"That sounded like Heidi, open this door," Ranger said, his hands on his hips, "Open the door, now."

Stephanie and Jeanne turned to Lester, who threw his hands up and said, "I uh….I gotta go!" taking off for the elevator, making Jeanne and Stephanie yell in outrage.

Ranger pushed pat Jeanne and Stephanie, and opened the door to reveal Heidi and the kitten, staring at each other. Ranger turned to Stephanie and Jeanne. Jeanne was the first to crack.

"It was Stephanie's idea! She wanted to get back at you for telling her what to do, so she got Heidi the kitten!" Jeanne said pointing to Stephanie who hissed, "Bitch!"

Stephanie turned to Ranger and said, "Yeah, okay, I did, but then, Jeanne had to spread nasty lies about me being a lesbian, now my mother is annoying me!"

Ranger looked down at his leg, seeing Heidi look up at him with big amber eyes as her small fist pulled at his pants. she smiled and said, "Mew!" pointing to the kitten, before she said, "Daddy's Mew!"

Ranger was still a human being, he wouldn't admit it out loud, but what Heidi said had his heart strings pulling and a small smile on his face. Ranger picked Heidi up and asked, "Is that our kitten, Quedria?"

"Mew!" Heidi said with a serious nod, pointing to the kitten, "Daddy's Mew!"

Ranger looked down at the kitten and then at Heidi who hugged his neck, "Well, I guess we can keep, since it's Daddy's Mew too."

Aww so cute," Stephanie said, her heart swelling, "She called you daddy!"

"I bet you wish she was calling you mommy," Jeanne chuckled, watching Stephanie's face heat up, "You can't deny it! you want Heidi to call you mommy-OUCH!"

Jeanne pouted, glaring at Stephanie and rubbing her sore breast, which Stephanie had punched, hard. Stephanie was about to give Jeanne a piece of her mind, when her phone went off. Jeanne looked at Stephanie and Ranger, and said, "Well, it's Mama Plum, better answer Plum, she might be pissed off when she comes barreling through Rangeman to get you."

Ranger shook his head and said, "Babe, I've got you covered, just in case she wants to try something," Bouncing Heidi in his arms.

Stephanie groaned softly, but she pressed the speakerphone button on her phone saying, "Hello Mo-"

"STEPHANIE MICHELLE PLUM! I'VE BEEN CALLING YOU FOR THE LAST FIVE HOURS! WHAT WERE YOU DOING THAT WAS SO IMPORTANT?! HAVING SEX WITH THAT WIFE OF YOURS?!" Stephanie's mother's voice filled the office, making everyone cover their ears from the screech of it, "I RAISED YOU TO BE A WOMAN WHO LOVED MEN! I DEMAND YOU COME OVER FOR DINNER TONIGHT, NO IF, ANDS OR BUTS! I HAVE HAD IT UP TO HERE WITH YOU MISSY, AND I PLAN TO SET YOU STRAIGHT! "

There was a moment of silence and then Helen Plum boomed, "AND BRING THAT BABY YOU ADOPTED! I WANT TO SEE HER!"

"Well," Stephanie said, hanging up the phone, "At least I still have my personality…."

"Babe…" Ranger said, pointing to Jeanne, who stood beside Stephanie, her face red with rage, "I think your mother made Jeanne angry."

"THAT BITCH!" Jeanne roared, her eyes bright with fury, "THAT STUPID BITCH! How dare she call you up and deaaaands (Jeanne emphasized the word demand, with a head bob,) you, a grown ass woman, come to dinner!"

"We're not going Jeanne, don't worry she's all bark and no bite," Stephanie said, but Jeanne shook her head.

"Uh, no, we're going," Jeanne said her face set, "we are going, and we are going to set Helen Plum straight. She can take her pot roast and stuff it up her dried up vagina! And we're taking Heidi too, and we're going to make out in front of that twat! We are going to a big ass happy family in front of this Stepford Slut!"

Ranger shook his head and looked down at Heidi, who was looking up at him dazed, as if to ask, 'What's wrong with these people?' "Quedria, welcome to this crazy world."

Heidi smiled and said, "Daddy…" patting his cheek, earning a kiss from Ranger.

"Let's go get ready for dinner and a show." Stephanie sighed, walking out the office with a still ranting Jeanne. this was going to be a fun evening.
