Dixie opened her eyes when someone tapped on her foot. She looked and saw her dad standing beside her bed. He sighed sitting down in the chair.
"What happened?" he asked rubbing his face.
"Just some son of a b-..." She caught herself and sighed. "Made a comment about my ass." She said it not caring anymore about cursing in front of her family.
Rick raised a brow and sighed. "Well you didn't need to fight him.. Could of told the teacher or principle."
Dixie shook her head. "I'm good. I can fight my own battle." She sat up more.
Rick smiled slightly. "I know you can, but.. " He shook his head. "You need to stop getting into fights. You have 2 weeks of school left… Can you please finish off the school year without anymore fights?"
Dixie looked down and sighed, then looked up at him after a minute. "Yes Sir.." She nodded. "I will for you." She knew her fights got him a lot of flack from Mom, along with the Principle.
Rick smiled and pulled her in for a hug. "Good." He rubbed her back. "Thank you honey."
"You're welcome, daddy." She hugged him back and saw her mom standing in the doorway, and frowned.
Lori sighed walking in. "Can we talk now?"
Rick looked up and nodded. "I'll be cooking burgers outside." He smiled and left the room. Lori smiled kissing him. Dixie felt like she wanted to throw up watching her mom kiss him.
Lori smiled and sat in the chair after Rick shut the door. She sighed looking at Dixie. "Dixie Rose Grimes… I did not appreciate you talking to me that way earlier."
"Oh, I'm sorry. I hurt your feelings… I didnt know you had any left." Dixie snapped sitting up.
Lori looked hurt, and sat back. "What did I do to get such attitude from you?"
Dixie really refrained from screaming at the top of her lungs, You've been screwing Shane! I caught you 5 times God knows how many times you've actually been sleeping with him!. Mom, Are Carl and I really Ricks? Or are we spawns of Shane? That though revolted her and she shuddered slightly, and she shook her head. She pressed her tongue against her cheek and looked down. "Everything." She said getting up.
Lori watched Dixie leave the room, and go downstairs. She followed her. "Dixie!"
"WHAT!" Dixie screamed back, she was really trying to hold it together.
"What… did I do to you? Please let me fix it." Lori said as her eyes filled up with tears.
"It wasn't me you did it to." Dixie snapped, rolling her eyes, and leaned in close to her face. "Think hard." She whispered and then walked back past her and went up to her room and slammed the door hard.
Rick came in hearing the commotion. "What is going on?"
Lori shook her head. " I have no idea.. She's so…..Angry lately…." She sighed.
{ TWD }
Lori grabbed Dixie one day after school and drove. "Dixie… Your daddy and I are having another baby.."
"Are you sure it's dad's…" She muttered looking out the window.
Lori slammed on her brakes and looked at her. "What did you say?"
Dixie looked over at her. "I asked if it was dads." She snapped.
Lori looked at her, she coulnd't help but reach out and slap Dixie across the face. "Yes it's your fathers!"
"Great.." Dixie didn't even flinch at the slap.
"I expect an apology." Lori said shaking slightly. She was worried if Dixie really knew what happened with Shane.
"You'll get one, when you stop screwing Shane." Dixie said undoing her belt, and got out of the car at a stop light.
Lori covered her mouth and closed her eyes. She pulled out her cell phone and called Shane asking him to pick up Dixie. "She's really angry… Can you bring her to the house?"
"Sure." Shane said getting in his patrol car, and drove following Lori's directions and found Dixie. "Get in." He ordered.
Dixie looked at him, frowning. "No." She said and continued walking.
"Dixie!" Shane hollered. "I'm not making this suggestion again." He said opening his door. Dixie sighed looking at him, she got in the back refusing to get in the front with him.
Shane drove to the house and she got out and went inside, Lori was waiting inside. She had asked Beth to take Carl to go get ice cream. Lori grabbed her by the arm and sat her on the sofa. "Dixie.." Shane sighed sitting down on the coffee table.
"Dont pretend to be my friend, or a friend of my dad's… A real friend doesn't screw his best friends wife!" She snapped.
Lori frowned looking at her. "Shut your damn mouth Dixie." She ordered. "You are not going to tell your dad about this little secret you found out about. It will kill him. You will ruin everything."
Dixie raised a brow and laughed. "Me? I'm ruining it by wanting to tell the only person who is going to be hurt in this whole relationship?" She shook her head. "You're the one fucking crooked nose! "
Shane slammed his hands on the table. "Damn it Dixie!" He shook his head. "What can I do to make it so you won't tell?"
"I think this little secret is going to be exposed - When Lori shoves a kid out of her clown car of a vagina, that looks nothing like dad." She snapped at them.
Lori looked at her. "I'm not having the baby. You're dad doesn't even know I'm pregnant."
Dixie stood up. "Fine - In exchange for this, I want 20 thousand dollars." She smiled at Shane. She knew he wouldn't be able to come up with it - Lori wouldn't be able to come up with it.
"20...Thousand? What the hell do you need that cash for?" Shane frowned looking at her.
Dixie shrugged. "I can think of 20 thousand things I can by at the dollar store." She smiled slightly. Then laughed. "I got accepted into Julliard.." She said softly. "That's how much I'm short other than that I have full ride.."
Lori stopped pacing and looked at her. "You….got in?" She smiled slightly.
"Of course I did. Don't pretend to be proud.." Dixie crossed her arms.
"Vito." Shane laughed. "I'm not giving you that kind of cash.. I can give you a car.. " He got up and patted her shoulders. "I'll make your life a living hell sweetheart - If you even think of telling Rick what's been going on…" He smirked slightly
Dixie looked up at him and kicked him hard in the crotch, watching him go done. "Threatening a minor isn't cool. Aw Damn - I damaged your man's jewels Mom. Have fun screwing that." She turned walking to the door and stopped. "Oh. I want something cherry red and really fast." She grabbed her sunglasses and put them on. "Peace."
Lori helped Shane up and onto the couch as she left. Dixie left and didn't come back she called her dad and said she was going to spend the night with Maggie.
Over the next week, Dixie managed to somehow keep her promise to her dad about not fighting anyone else no matter how much they deserved it. It was the end of the last day of school, She felt sick to her stomach about agreeing to the deal with Shane and Lori. She was walking home, and saw her dad, mom and Shane standing outside. She had passed her drivers test last month.
"I don't think this is a good idea." Lori sighed softly.
Rick smiled. "She deserves something.. She's worked so hard to get into that school, along with really improving lately.. Plus Shane didn't need it anymore.."
"What's going on?" Dixie smiled slightly walking up to them.
"Your uncle Shane didn't want his old car anymore.. He wanted to give it to you."
Dixie looked at Shane. "Really?"
He nodded and opened the garage door. He moved aside to let her see after turning the light on. It was a 1990 Ford Mustang GT Convertible that was cherry red.
Dixie looked at them. "Really?" She smiled more covering her mouth.
Shane smiled handing her the keys. "Treat her good. She was so good to me."
"Oh thank you!" Dixie hugged him, and whispered. "I expect some cash too." She bit her lip.
Shane laughed and hugged her, and whispered into her ear. "That wasn't our deal."
"Well. Things change. Or I can just end this all now.." Dixie smiled more pulling back. "Dad! Can you go for a ride with me?" she looked at him letting go of Shane.
Rick smiled slightly, "Sure." He walked to the car after giving her a hug.
Dixie walked over to Lori and hugged her, whispering. "Remember our deal."
Lori smiled more. "Of course honey." she said letting go, and watching them get in the car and taking off.
