Three Weeks Later:
Dixie came home early one afternoon from working with Hershel at the vet clinic. She walked inside and saw Shane and Lori sitting on the couch. "Thank goodness.. I don't have to gouge my own eyes out at the sight of you two going at it." She said sitting in a chair. "You're late." She was referring to the money that Lori and Shane where due to give her.
Shane rolled his eyes. "Yeah, about that… I'm not giving you another dime sweetheart." He smiled. "I have you a car, along with 2 thousand dollars."
Dixie raised her eyebrow and looked at him. "Just so you know, this conversation is being taped." she said keeping her phone in her lap. "I want more money by friday, or I go to Dad."
Shane kicked the coffee table over, Dixie didn't flinch. He came over to her and threw her out of the chair. "I'm not giving some little shit another dime!"
Lori just sat there, and watched. "Shane."
Shane stopped himself from hitting Dixie, he looked at Lori.
Lori watched Dixie for a minute. "Lets just give her the rest of the money, and be done with it. At least we can finish buying her silence."
Shane frowned. "I'm not giving her anymore money."
Lori looked at him. "I got an abortion because you didn't want me to have that baby. The least you can do is give her the money!"
Dixie got up, Shane grabbed her phone and smashed it. "No phone for the lil bitch."
Dixie shoved him hard. "I expect a new phone!" She shoved him again took his phone and threw it against the fireplace.
Lori rubbed her face. "Damn it Shane! We will get you a new one.."
"Damn right!" Dixie said walked outside and slammed the door. Lori looked at Shane. "Clean up this mess." She said leaving and driving Dixie to the verizon store.
Dixie looked over at her mom. "I still can't believe you did that.. Just because you couldn't keep your legs shut. Dad would have loved that baby.."
Lori pulled into the parking lot at the verizon store and slapped Dixie hard across the face.
"Why don't you just leave. Why do you even bother staying married to dad if you just keep screwing with Shane. What? You want them both? Sick mom." Dixie said undoing her belt.
Lori didn't say anything, she just watched her, then she got out and walked inside. Dixie frowned following. Lori looked at her. "Pick out whatever one you want.."
Dixie looked around and smiled, she grabbed a Samsung Galaxy 9plus and put it on the table.
Lori groaned hearing the price. "Guess it's your christmas and birthday present for the next two years.."
"So worth it." Dixie smiled in the car. "Next time don't let your boyfriend smash my other phone."
Dixie had her phone all set up at the store and got her pictures, videos and everything else back she cared about. She got a really cute case for it. Dixie looked at her face in the mirror and had a good bruise going on.
They got back to the house, and Shane had cleaned up the mess and left. Lori went into the kitchen and looked aroud. "What would you like?"
"I'm thinking… Fabianos Pizza." Dixie smiled looking at Carl knowing Carl loved that place.
"Yeah!" Carl smiled. "Pizza!"
Dixie smiled she mainly did it for dad, he loved that pizza place they all did. "Two large pizzas one meat lover and one house pizza, along with pirate bites, and hot pepper cheese bites… Carl anything else?" She smiled.
Carl though for a minute, "Sweet Pirate bites?" He smiled big.
Dixie looked at Lori and smiled big talking in the phone ordering it. Lori was steaming, and chopping up a salad. "Sounds awesome! Oh can we get a thing of cherry cola, and some sweet tea… Alright… Yes… Delivery.." She gave them the address and smiled hugging Carl.
"Yayay! Daddy's going to be happy!" Carl smiled dancing, Dixie joined him and danced, smiling. She threw on some music and kept dancing with him.
Rick came home and walked into the kitchen. "What's going on?" he smiled hugging Dixie and Carl.
Dixie smiled. "I ordered dinner for us.. Fabiano's.."
"What? Did you have a birthday?" Rick asked raising a brow.
Dixie smiled. "No but it feels like christmas." She bumped hips with Carl.
Rick smiled and shook his head. "Alright.." he walked over and hugged Lori, kissing her softly.
Dixie smiled taking Carl into the living room and helped him with his summer school homework.
"Why you got a new phone sissy?"
"Oh…Shane broke mine." she smiled and pulled him close and took a selfie with him.
"Oh… Silly Shane.." He laughed hugging her making silly faces with her for a picture.
Rick came in seeing the new phone. "Where did you get that?"
"Mom." She said looking at Lori. "Shane broke my other one."
"Oh?" He said looking at Lori.
"It was an accident.. I got a deal on the phone.." Lori lied.
The doorbell rang as they talked, Dixie got up and got the door, getting the food and soda, along with the tea. She get it on the table - grabbed plates and popped a movie in the dvd player.
"Dixie… What happened with your eye." Rick asked grabbing a slice when Lori went to the bathroom.
"Smart mouthed to Mom, got slapped." She said not flinching. She took a bite of her pirate bites.
"Lori.." He glared at her, they never stuck their kids in the face - sure a quick tap on the bottom, but he hadn't done that in years. "Go, get some ice on it." He sighed and sat back looking at Lori as Dixie got up to get some ice. "We will talk later." He told Lori.
Lori didn't say anything and continued eating her pizza.
For a minute, it seemed like a good friday night, minus the black eye.
