*Wydell pov*

"What do you mean sweetie?" I bent down to Lilly's height and watch as her eyes turned darker in color.

"She didn't save mommy. She didn't help mommy. She killed mommy." Lilly kept repeating that over and over. Mother Firefly grabs her granddaughter and brings her up and onto her lap.

"Uh Sherriff there's a phone call for the convict." I waved my hand at the newbie officer and grabbed the phone from him.

"Hello."

"Are you the Sherriff?" the voice was soft and angelic like. Definitely a female.

"Why yes Ma'am I am."

"Do you have Mama Firefly in custody?"

"Yes I do. May I ask why do you wanna know?"

"Can I talk to her?"

"Who is this?"

"Tell her it's Candy."

*Otis pov*

"She left? Just because you have to be a sexist fucking pig. Now Candy is gone and we don't know where the fuck she is. And it's all cause of you!" Baby pointed her finger at me.

The little rabbits on the bed are staring at us fighting.

"How the fuck is it my fault?"

"You had to fuck around with the old hag, didn't you? You just couldn't be happy that Candy was back. You just couldn't give Candy all of your attention, but noooo that not how big bad Otis is. He has to be a showoff and an asshole to people. And you wonder why Candy just left your ass."

"She didn't leave my ass. She would never leave me."

"She just did, you fucking idiot."

"And she is going to be right back here."

"Whatever Otis. Just live in your fucking fantasy world when it comes to Candy."

Baby goes back sitting in her chair.

Candice didn't leave me. She just got mad but she will forgive me.

She'll forgive me, right?

*Mama's pov*

"Who is this?" the Sherriff said in the phone and I watch as he dropped in when he got the reply.

"Travie go get Nana the phone."

Travis runs to the fallen phone and hands it to me.

"Hello."

"Mama?"

"Candy- baby, is that you?"

"Oh Mama I missed you."

"I missed you too, doll. But how are you calling me?"

"I don't have time to tell you that. But I need you to tell the Sherriff that im coming there."

"Candy, where is Otis and Baby?"

"Don't know anymore. I just left Otis at some motel. Im done with his ass."

"Oh no Candy, don't say that. You and Otis love each other."

"Yea well he got some fucked up way of showing it. Anyway Mama Im almost to Ruggsville."

"Why are you coming back here?"

"Im coming to get my kids."

"And then what, Candy? Are you going to meet up with Otis somewhere?"

"No im taking my kids and im leaving Texas for good."

*Candice's pov*

"No im taking my kids and im leaving Texas for good." I slam the phone back on the receiver.

I walk into the gas station just as a red pickup truck drives in. I get myself a bottle of water and some chips.

Some lady and her boy just left when I heard screaming.

"Never turn you back on a clown when he's talking to you."

Well I just found Cutter.

I pay for everything and walk out of the store. Cutter just punched the lady before looking over at me.

"Well, if it isn't Candy. How are you, darling? Are you going to meet up with Otis and Baby?"

"I was just with them." I place my bag in the front passenger seat before turning around to look at Cutter.

"Well are you going back there?"

"No Cutter. Im done."

He got this funny confused look on his painted face. "Done? Done with what?"

"With Otis. I want nothing to do with him."

"I understand that part but Candy we are all family and family sticks together."

"Cutter the only family I really want right now is my kids."

"We can't get them yet. Not until we make it safe for them."

"But you see they are safe. They are with the Sherriff and Mama. I want my kids and then im taking them somewhere safe. They will never be safe here. And Otis will never leave here."

"How do you know that? Come on Candy; just give him one more chance. And if he fucks up then you can leave and never look back."

"Fine but just one more chance. Now get in the goddamn car."

Pissed that I have to go back to that jackass, I sped and almost crashed my way there.

I screech to a stop at the motel and walk with Cutter. One of the women from before comes running out with Baby following her. I roll my eyes and walk back to the car. I slowly eat my snack just as Otis drives here in a blue van. He looks over at me and smirks. I turn my head and keep eating.

"Candy let's go!" Cutter calls out to me and I step away from the car. I climb into the back with Baby while Otis and Cutter sit in the front.

I close my eyes and picture the life I want to live with my children. There are flashes of what it would be like. Sometimes the family is there. Sometimes it's just Otis. Or sometimes it's just me and my children.

"Hey man, if anyone is interested. I think I'll want some ice-cream in about 10 miles."

"Hey man I think im gonna be wanting some ice cream in 10 miles."

And hey we go with the baby bullshit.

"Don't you fucking imitate me, its fucking rude. I know what I know and I know I don't like that nutsack."

"Fuck you."

"Fuck you."

"2 fucking seconds for the kids aint going to kill you."

"Yes it is going to kill me. I calculated the time and two seconds is the exact amount of time that is hazardous to my fucking health."

I roll my eyes. Drama queen.

"Ya know I think im gonna get me some toottie fucking fruittie."

"Ya toottie fucking fruittie sounds good."

"Toottie fucking fruittie."

"Shut up."

"Toottie fucking fruittie."

"Listen there is no fucking ice cream in your goddamn fucking future."

"OH Otis shut up and pulls over. I want ice-cream." I told him and his eyes look at me in the rearview mirror.

"You want ice-cream?"

"Ya I want fucking ice cream so pull over."

"Fine god fucking damn it."

Baby and Cutter get Toottie Fucking Fruittie, while I get some Chocolate. I know its Otis's favorite so to shut him up, im gong let him share some ice cream with me.

I sit right next to Baby and laugh as she places her ice cream on Otis's nose. His mouth twitches in anger so I stick my ice cream by his lips. I smile as he licked the cone with no complaint.

Even though he is an asshole, I still love him.
