Chapter 100 (His True Mother)

Tyrone entered the Shay apartment and leaned against the wall, he stared at Spencer while crossing his arms. Spencer was working on a strange sculpture that had aluminum all over it. Unlike everyone else, Tyrone was personally disgusted with Spencer's artwork, he felt it was always the wrong thing to be doing, and at the wrong time. Instead of artwork, Spencer should be trying to reject the Bensons and help get them out of the apartment.

Spencer stopped what he was working on and looked over at Tyrone. He narrowed his eyes and stood up, crossing his arms in the process. "What do you want, grandpa?" Tyrone rolled his eyes with annoyance, he wondered why Spencer had to take such a tone with him. Naturally, it disturbed him to have his own grandson talk to him in such a spiteful manner. He also felt quite a bit of annoyance at the fact that Spencer would be marrying the niece of Emily. Even though it was true that Sasha wasn't blood related to Emily in any way, he still didn't like the idea of it.

"I just want to know how serious you are about marrying this Sasha girl." Spencer raised his eyebrow and turned back to his sculpture. Tyrone watched as Spencer moved the aluminum around his sculpture and acted as though he didn't hear the statement. "Spencer Shay, tell me why you are marrying this…this…"

"This what?" Spencer threw down the tool in his hand and stood up abruptly. Tyrone stepped back in shock and stared at his grandson with wide eyes. "Sasha is the woman I love! Who the hell gave you the right to try and break up a couple so much in love?"

"I'm only thinking about what is best for you, Spencer." Spencer growled dangerously and stepped toward Tyrone.

"No, you're only thinking of yourself." Spencer blinked and smirked a moment. "I got you pegged, I know what it is. You hate them so much that you don't even want your perfect little world to be tainted by the ones you hate. I bet you would even take a baby from them if they ruined your little hopes and dreams." Tyrone's eyes widened and his jaw dropped slightly.

"I have never done that!"

"Oh yeah? Is that so?" Spencer walked toward a desk that he had put inside the main room of his apartment. Tyrone raised his eyebrow and wondered why he even had a desk there. Spencer opened a drawer and removed a sheet of paper. "Do you know what this is? This is my birth certificate." Tyrone stepped back and narrowed his eyes, he knew that they never put Emily's name in the slot designated for a mother. "Why is my mother's name blank?"

"What? What the hell are you talking about?" Spencer rolled his eyes and moved toward Tyrone. He held the paper in both of his hands and showed Tyrone the area where his mom wasn't mentioned. There was indeed, no name mentioned. Tyrone could remember now, he had told the doctor to place no name on the mother. "Oh crap."

"So Tyrone, is that Linda person not my real mother?"

"No, she is your mother." Spencer scoffed and lowered the paper, he knew Tyrone was lying. He had called up Linda and asked her about it. She didn't know who his real mom was, though.

"You're lying."

"No I'm not, why would I lie to you?"

"You are! I don't know why you should lie to me, you shouldn't. As for why you would lie, I don't know, but I will find out." Tyrone took a deep breath and Spencer moved back to the desk, placing his birth certificate on the desk. "I called Linda up and she confirmed that she was in fact not my real mother. Boy I cheered when I realized that bitch didn't give birth to me. I'm sad that Carly had to be born to her, but I would love knowing who gave birth to me."

"You don't need to know." Spencer raised his eyebrow and smirked as Tyrone cursed himself. Slowly, but surely, Spencer was starting to push Tyrone into a corner.

"Why? Why do you think I shouldn't know who my mom is? What have I been missing that you haven't been telling me? Linda did tell me that I was born before she ever met dad…I could just ask him."

"No! I will not permit you to do that." Spencer leaned his body back slightly and hummed, he was getting more and more clues just by the way Tyrone was acting. He was acting like it could have been Emily.

"Who is my mother? You, as my grandfather, should be able to let me know." Who was he kidding? Tyrone wouldn't be that easy. Of course it would be harder to get Tyrone to reveal anything at all. "Did you take me away from my mother, Gramps? Did you take me away and give me to my father?" What he did do was call his dad and learn that he was truly Robert's son. Robert didn't say much more than that, anyway. "Why do you hate my real mother so much, Tyrone?" Tyrone was sweating now, he had no clue how to respond to Spencer's questions.

"Go ahead, tell him," Freddie said as he walked down the stairs. He had heard the entire conversation and decided to help Spencer out in any way he could. He was upstairs because he'd been working on something in the studio for Carly. Freddie smirked and stepped next to his half brother. "Tell him why you hate his birth mom almost as much as you hate my mother. Tell him why you've wanted to keep this a secret from him for twenty nine years." Tyrone stuttered and clenched his hands together.

"I don't have to listen to this," Tyrone said as he turned toward the door.

"Why are you running? He'll find out anyway." Tyrone scoffed and walked toward the door. As he reached for the knob, the door opened and Robert stood in the doorway. Tyrone let out a small gasp as Robert narrowed his eyes and glared at the old man. Apparently someone had called him over. Quickly entering behind Robert was Emily, she stood closely next to him and looked at Spencer with worry. Tyrone grit his teeth and stepped back, he didn't exactly enjoy the position he was in at the moment. Tyrone then smirked and recalled that he had the upper hand.

"I did make the promise that if anyone told Spencer, that a life would be ended." Spencer, being fresh out of law school, immediately spotted the loophole in the statement.

"If anyone tells me who my real mom is?" Spencer asked while raising his eyebrow. Tyrone turned around and crossed his arms, smirking slightly at Spencer.

"Yes, and if you marry this Sasha person, then-"

"You will keep your damned radar away from her! She is not involved in this, so you will leave her the hell alone." Spencer slashed his hand through the air and stepped close to Tyrone. He glared into the man's eyes and smirked dangerously. "I just graduated from law school, Gramps. I guess I forgot to tell you, everyone else knows it though."

"What?" Sweat ran down the side of Tyrone's face, he knew this could be a problem for him.

"I will issue a restraining order against you for Sasha if I have to, I don't care." Spencer tilted his head and his smirk grew more. "Oh, and by the way. There's a loophole in your statement, Granddad. I can find out on my own."

"Er…I suppose that's true…" Spencer looked over at Emily and saw the concern in her eyes. He saw equal concern in Robert's eyes. When he glanced at Freddie, he saw the look of a brother watching over a brother in battle. "The things you have said just now, Grandpa…they've served as clues. If I'm right, then I know exactly who my mom is. I know why you hated my mother, I know why you took me from her and left her name off of the birth certificate." Tyrone was sweating even more now, perhaps this meant he was losing his grandson.

"If you do this. If you marry this girl, if you go to your real mother, then you are no longer my grandson."

"Frankly, I don't give a damn if you're my grandpa or not. For the things you've done, I don't consider you my grandfather anyway. Leave my apartment, Gramps. Leave my apartment and stay the hell away from Sasha." Tyrone's eyes darted around to everyone and a frown graced his face. He lost this battle, but the war wasn't over yet. Freddie was glaring angrily at him, Robert was looking as if he was ready to kill, and Emily had a motherly look on her face. With Spencer just now, both of her children were placed in danger, and so were the women they loved.

"Fine, but this isn't over." Spencer shrugged and narrowed his eyes even more.

"By the way Gramps, I'm marrying Sasha in June." Tyrone scoffed and left the apartment in a huff. Robert and Emily stepped aside and let him run through them, slamming the door as he left. Spencer looked from Spencer, to his father and finally to Emily. No one spoke a word as Spencer collected his thoughts. All he needed to know, he gained when his eyes met Emily's. His eyes started to water and he took a shaky step forward. "Mom…"

"My baby," Emily said quietly. Robert smiled lightly and Freddie patted Spencer on the back.

"Go on…bro," Freddie replied. Spencer smiled and ran toward Emily, hugging her and feeling her return the hug. Emily was crying for joy and relief. After nearly thirty years, she was finally able to hold her firstborn son. Spencer had tears leaving his eyes as well, he finally had a mother, and one that he actually liked. Freddie and Robert watched on with wet eyes, but they weren't completely crying, despite it being a very emotional time for them too.

"I have so many questions," Spencer said as he placed his hands on Emily's arms and leaned back slightly. Emily nodded and smiled at him.

"And I'll answer every last one of them," Emily replied. "I'm so sorry you never knew, but I never wanted Tyrone to hurt you or anyone else. I always-"

"That's not important anymore, Mom. Grandpa's not going to do a thing. I'm just glad that I have a mother. Wait until I tell Carly!"

"No, don't do that just yet, bro," Freddie said while patting Spencer on the shoulder. Spencer raised his eyebrow and glanced to Freddie with concern, he wondered why it would be bad to tell Carly. "Carly's still under Tyrone's control. Even if we took her away from him, she'd still find ways to converse with him. Whatever we told her, she could tell him."

"Yeah, but Tyrone already knows that I now know who my mother is. What could it hurt to tell Carly?"

"It couldn't hurt, but then it could also piss Tyrone off. What if Tyrone heard Carly knew, it could 'mess up' his plans or whatever…he could hurt Sasha."

"Oh yeah…" Spencer frowned and let out a heavy sigh. He turned to Freddie and crossed his arms. "So bro, when were you going to tell me that Sam's your fiancée?" Freddie's eyes widened and his heart nearly stopped for a quick second. How did Spencer figure it out?

"Wha…you already know that? How?"

"Hey, I'm smarter than I look." Spencer smirked and Freddie thought for a moment. He returned the smirk and crossed his arms.

"Well then, I can't say I'm surprised about that." Robert chuckled and rubbed his chin, he thought he'd contribute to the moment with a joke of some sort.

"You know, I hear in some cultures of arranged marriage…if a man dies, his brother's required to marry his spouse." Spencer and Freddie quickly looked over with wide eyes.

"Don't even joke about that!" They shouted. Robert laughed and Emily slowly shook her head. While that was true for various different cultures, Emily didn't actually practice that part.

"Don't worry, I don't require that," Emily said while playfully shoving Robert. Spencer sat down on the couch and exhaled slowly, he did have to wonder about what Emily and Robert would do. He didn't know if they were together or if they still hated one another.

"Sorry that I'm not able to participate in the culture, mom." He shifted his eyes over and blinked. "Uh, you wouldn't mind if I called you mom, would you?"

"I would love nothing more." Emily smile and gave Spencer another hug, this was like a dream come true to her. "Also Spencer, if you really want me to put you through an arranged marriage, how about this…For your bride, I think the one that would be best for you…" Emily stood up and tapped her chin, it was quite obvious who she was going to say, but she was going for fun. "I think Sasha Everett would be the best choice for you, wouldn't you agree, Robert?"

"I do, I feel she is the best choice for Spencer," Robert said as he placed his hand on Emily's shoulder and grinned. "Just as I feel Sam's the best choice for Freddie." Spencer and Freddie both chuckled and shook their heads, they loved their parents, they really did.

"So, Tyrone forced you two apart in the past?" Spencer asked while clasping his hands together. Robert nodded and narrowed his eyes.

"I'll never forgive him for that. He took away the woman I loved and made me marry some woman that I despised."

"So, does this mean that you two are together again?"

"Yes, we are," Emily responded as she kissed Robert's cheek. "Of course, that we can't tell anyone…at least not without risking more hell from that bastard." Spencer nodded with agreement and stood up to pat Freddie's back.

"So, since I finally know you're my brother…want to help build a sculpture?!" Freddie laughed and shrugged his shoulders in response.

"Sure, that sounds like something fun to do. Although, I think we should probably spend some time with Mom and…" Freddie looked to Robert and rubbed his chin, the guy could very well be his father anyway. He could probably have more experiences with the guy. "Dad. How about we alternate, you spend time with Mom for a while and I'll spend some time with this big guy over here?"

"Now that sounds like a good idea! A good family time would be great. I do need some quality time with the mom I never knew I had." Emily and Robert smiled at each other, it seemed like things were starting to look up. Emily felt as if Sarah was smiling down upon her. She remembered what Sarah's spirit said to her seemingly not so long ago. Something, someone would come that would turn the tables on Tyrone. She placed her head on Robert's shoulder and closed her eyes. He looked to her and placed his arm around her waist, smiling and kissing her forehead. Freddie and Spencer both watched the display with pleased looks on their faces, it seemed like such a warm moment. Emily knew for sure, it was the bond she had with Robert, Robert himself, and her family that seemed to be turning the tables on Tyrone.
