Blended Together

Chapter 4

Jazmine woke up earlier than usual. That was the one part of her job she hated when doing a wedding event. Getting up at the crack of dawn to make sure her clients look their best on their big day. The last bride was happy even tipping her double than the recommended. But the bride did spring on four other people at the last minute.

Now she had another bride and her maids to do hair for. So far they didn't seem so bad after giving them her treatment.

She gotten dressed in her usual black attire but this time it was a tighter shirt, looser pants and gold peep toe shoes. She always tried to look as professional as possible within a budget but didn't mean she couldn't look good and sexy.

As Jazmine double checked to make sure she had all of her equipment and products she needed, she stopped when she heard the giggling her daughter. Coming from the basement?

What the hell was her daughter doing in the basement? She thought.

Jazmine headed towards the basement as the door opened, revealing a shirtless Huey carrying Rosa up in his arms. Jazmine didn't know what was more shocking about that scene. Huey being shirtless or that Rosa was laughing in Huey's arms.

"What were you two doing in the basement?" Jazmine asked as Huey set Rosa down. Jazmine wished he didn't do that because she got an excellent view of his exposed chest. An impressive six pack, firm pecks and strong arms all framed him well. And it didn't help that his joggers pants highlighted his boxer briefs and how deep his V went. She blushes and turned away because it didn't matter how attractive Huey is, she didn't want to have those thoughts on a man who she and her daughter was living with.

"Here Hue!" Rosa said handing Huey a bottle of water. Huey took it and said thanks. Rosa smile brightly at him before going over to the table to wait for breakfast.

Huey took a sip of water, "She likes hitting the punching bag downstairs."

"We have a punching bag downstairs?" Jazmine said in disbelief.

"It was the first thing I had install when we moved here."

"And you allow Rosa to hit that thing?"

"It's something we have been doing for awhile now," he said, "and you said I need to have some one on one time with her. So why not?"

Huey could admit that is bond was growing with Rosa. He still did things with Malcolm but having her there in the morning was a good way to get to know her. It seems she was a mixture of a girly girl and a tom boy because she wasn't afraid to get dirty. And he started watching them on weekends Jazmine was working.

"I'm worried that Rosa will hit anyone because she thinks it's alright," Jazmine said.

"I promise that I will teach her it's only for emergencies," he said taking out cereal for everyone.

Malcolm walks in with a grumpy look on his face. Jazmine guessed that everyone woke him up.

"Morning Malcolm," Jazmine said giving him a kiss on the forehead. He whines as he goes and sits at the table.

"We'll talk about this later," Jazmine said getting her stuff, "or I'm going to be late."

"Alright have a good day," Huey said waving. After saying good bye to the kids she headed out. Huey shook his head and sip his coffee. At least he wasn't the only one with those thoughts.

:

"Alright," Huey said stopping the stroller, "make sure that I can see you at all time."

When the kids nodded their heads, he unbuckled them out of the strollers. They ran off as soon as they were out. Huey watch them from the bench where he sat. Malcolm was serious and Rosa was having the time of her life. Two completely opposite of each other but they balance each other out. But there was one question that plague Huey's mind. Why would anyone not want either Jazmine or Rosa? They were great. Not only having Jazmine help him with Malcolm become a better father but knowing that Rosa was a sweet little girl and willing to learn showed him that he could raise a little girl.

He watch them as they interact with each other and with other kids and his cell phone rang.

"Hello?"

"Hello Huey," Mrs. Brown said.

"Mrs. Brown how are you today?"

"I'm well Huey," she said, "I wanted to talk to you about Jazmine."

"What? Is there something wrong?" Huey asked alert. Why would she want to talk about Jazmine?

"Oh no I just wanted to talk to her about taking the kids Monday morning. I can't get a hold of her," she said.

Monday morning? What is she doing Monday morning? Huey thought.

"She is with a client today but I know she will get back to you as soon as she can," Huey said, "I'll tell her you called me to confirmed."

"Thank you Huey have a good day," Mrs. Brown said.

"You too," he said hung up.

Huey was confused. Why would she need Mrs. Brown to watch the kids? Did she do this often? Is there something she wasn't telling him?

As he watched the kids running around as the question plagued his mind. Huey knew he had to talk to Jazmine about this. Because what is she doing?

"Hello."

Snapping out of this thoughts, he turned and looked at an attractive woman. Long black hair, cat like eyes and a body that most men and women would want. Curvy and slim.

"Hello," he said with his guard up.

"I notice you were alone," she said going up and sitting beside him. "I thought you could use the company."

Huey notice how her legs crossed towards him as her body seemed to lean closer to him. But he wasn't interested.

"I'm fine thanks," he said dismissing her. He came here for the kids and that's it.

But she wasn't giving up, "I'm Gia."

"I'm not interested."

"Do you have any children?" she asked keep assisting.

"That's none of your business," he replied quickly hoping that she gets the hint. If he has to claim Rosa as his to get this woman off of his back than he would.

"But you have to be a good daddy you are here."

Huey didn't want to put up with this anymore and stood up.

"Malcolm! Rosa! We're heading out!" he called. But he couldn't see them anywhere.

"MACOLM! ROSA!"

"Is there something wrong?" Gia asked.

"Rosa? Malcolm?" Huey called again. But he couldn't see them.

Something in his gut was telling him that this wasn't good. Something wasn't right.

:

Rosa ran and laugh as she ran away from the kids at the park and chased after a ball a woman threw at them. She was having so much fun! But she notice that she was going to far. Hue said to stay close. As she was ready to walk back to the playground with the ball in hand, a big man blocked her path.

"Well well well what do we have here?" he said. He had dark hair, dark eyes and tan skin.

Rosa stared up at the big man and was scared. She didn't know who he was.

"You're daddy told me to go get you little one," he said in a kind voice.

She didn't trust the man as he came closer to her. Than remember what Hue told her.

"Password?"

The man stopped, "What?"

That wasn't it. Rosa ran as fast as she could back towards the playground, leaving the confuse man behind.

"Hue! Hue!" Rosa called out.

"Ro!" Malcolm said as Rosa was screaming in fear.

"Get the fuck back here!" he screamed and started after the kids once she got to Malcolm.

The kids ran towards the playground, screaming. The man was running behind them as they were coming close to the playground. But he manage to grab onto their arms and they screamed for help.

"You are going to come with-"

WHACK!

He let go and fell right to the ground. But he was kicked in the gut as he tried to open his eyes. When he could, all he saw was wine coloured eyes.

"You want to touch my kids?" Huey said with venom in his voice. The man eyes widen, knowing that he was caught.

"You guys alright?" he called out to the kids. When they nod, he cracked his knuckles.

"So you want to mess with kid?" Huey said advancing onto the man. He shook in fear as he felt again the fist that belong to Huey Freeman. "Than you have to go through me first."

:

"Oh Jazmine! You truly are a miracle worker!" her bride gushes as she stare at herself in the mirror.

"Oh I can't believe how beautiful we all look!" gushed her mother.

Jazmine stood there and swelled with pride, knowing that she had another client who was happy.

"Oh Jazmine I don't know how I can thank you!" Brielle the bride said crying.

"Hey hey no tears," Jazmine said smiling, "it's going to ruin your make-up."

Brielle laughs and Jazmine smiles more, "And you don't have to thank me. I was just doing my job."

"When are you going to open your salon?" the bride's mother, Louise asked.

"I hope to one day but right now I want to raise my kids."

"Oh you have children?"

Jazmine couldn't believe she said kids. She usually say daughter but Malcolm was like another baby to her in the short amount of time she spent with him. For the most part, Malcolm was hers.

"Yeah I love my babies," she said smiling, "they're two."

"Oh that is such a great age."

"What are you talking about? Mine were little shits!"

As the women were talking, Jazmine's cell phone rang in her purse. She took the opportunity to take the call. But she didn't recognize the caller id.

"Hello?"

"Hello am I speaking to Jazmine Dubois?"

"Yes."

"Hello Miss Dubois, I'm Officer O'Conner from the Chicago Police Department 34th Prescient. I want to let you know Huey Freeman is here."

Jazmine's blood ran cold. Why would the cops have Huey? He said he was going to take them to the park. Where are the kids?

"What's the problem officer?" Jazmine said nervous.

"We have Mr. Freeman here with two young children. He said the young girl was yours. There was a incident at the park he was attending earlier today."

"Are my babies okay?" Jazmine asked panicked.

"They're fine ma'am. There is nothing wrong with them."

Jazmine breathed a sigh of relief. Her babies were okay.

"Can you come by so you can sign out your daughter?"

"Yes Officer I will be there as soon as I can," she said hanging up her phone. Jazmine quickly started packing her things.

"Are you alright Jazmine?" Brielle asked.

"I'm sorry but I have to go. I have an family emergency," she said frantic as she finished putting the last of her stuff in her bag. "I'm sorry that I have to leave so soon."

"Don't worry child, you finished your work and I hope everything is well," Louise said, "here this is your pay."

"Oh my that is too much!" Jazmine said quickly counting the bills.

"It isn't and I'll get my husband to drive you to where you need to go," she said softly.

"Thank you," Jazmine said crying.

:

"Thank you so much Marco," Jazmine said grabbing her things out of the car. The bride's father was nice enough to drive her to the police station where Huey, Malcolm and Rosa were all being held. It was scaring the shit out of her.

"No problem darling I was on my way to the church anyways," he said laughing, "I hope everything is well."

"I'll call you and let you know if everything is alright," she said shutting the car door.

"Make sure it's before the ceremony!" he called out to her as Jazmine ran into the police station. Her heart was pounding a mile a minute. What could have happen? Did Huey do something stupid? Or was there something else? All these thoughts were in her head as she ran to the front desk.

"Excuse me but I am looking for Huey Freeman, Malcolm Freeman and Rosa Dubois?" Jazmine said rushing her words out of her mouth.

"Are you Jazmine Dubois?"

"I am."

"Come this way," the officer said. She led her to a small room and was asked to leave her things outside the door.

"Are my babies alright?" Jazmine said.

"They're fine," the officer said opening the door. Huey sat there with Rosa and Malcolm on either side of him. They were looking at something on his phone.

"MAMA!"

"JAZZ!"

The kids ran up to her and she lend down, holding both in her arms. She didn't know that there were tears in her eyes until she felt one of them falling from her face.

"Are you both okay?" Jazmine asked worried.

When they both smiled and nodded their heads, Jazmine held them closer to her as relief rushed throughout her body. When she was finally calm down enough, her eyes raised to Huey. He looked fine but the bruises on his knuckles got to her.

"What happen to your hands?" Jazmine said getting up.

"Nothing really," Huey said calmly.

"Well someone tell me what happen please," Jazmine demanded.

Before Huey could say a word or the kids telling her in a way she couldn't understand, another officer walked into the room.

"Well Mr. Freeman you are free to go," he said looking through his files, "and I wanted to know if Miss Dubois has - Oh I'm sorry I didn't see you there."

Jazmine tried not to roll her eyes knowing the officer was more interested in his paperwork.

"I'm Officer O'Conner we spoke on the phone," he said holding out his hand.

"I'm Jazmine Dubois," she said returning his hand shake, "what happened?"

"We gotten a call that Mr. Freeman here was in a fight at a public park," he said pointing at Huey. Jazmine gave him a not to happy look but allow the officer to continue speaking.

"Anyways, the man he was fighting was a well known child trafficker name Sergio Maso. By our guess that he was interested in the girl."

Jazmine grab onto Rosa and held her close.

"Anyways him and his partner, Giana Lotta were in the park looking for potential girls for the latest black market of adopting children. We manage to arrest the both of them. But not without half of my squad laughing," he said laughing.

"What happen?"

"Mr. Maso wanted to press charges not only on Mr. Freeman but the kids as well. I guess that Malcolm here manage to break his nose but Rosa here manage to fracture his kneecap before we could even arrest him," he said laughing hard.

As the officer was laughing at what the kids did, both Malcolm and Rosa beamed at Huey with pride, while Jazmine stood there bewildered trying to figure out how.

"But that's not the best part," the officer said laughing, "your kids even managed to take down his partner by themselves. The woman was never so afraid of kids before until them. She even got into the car and told the officer to drive!"

Huey had to chuckle at that because he had never been more proud of them as Jazmine looked at the kids in shock. She thought they were all crazy as they laugh their asses off.

:

"I don't want them at that park anymore Huey," she said as they manage to put the kids to bed, "who knows what kind of weirdos are out there!"

She did remember to call Marco before the cemormy started and everything went without any problems. He was even nice enough to show the picture of the bride and groom. They were a beautiful couple.

"That's why I want to train them," Huey said, sitting down on the couch, "so they are prepared for these situations."

Jazmine sat down beside him. "I can't believe someone could have almost taken my baby away."

"She fine," Huey said, "she did everything I taught her to do."

Jazmine raised an eyebrow at him, waiting for him to explain.

"I have a password system for the kids. If they didn't answer right away than they run and hide," Huey said, "I want them to know code if they are ever in a situation like that again."

"Okay," Jazmine said softy, "because I don't want to deal with that ever again."

"She special Rosa is," Huey said, "a fast learner for someone her age."

"I'm glad that the two of you are getting along," Jazmine said.

"So am I," he said proud. Because she was a special little girl. Then he remember the call he had gotten from Mrs. Brown.

"Anyways I wanted to let you know that Mrs. Brown called me today," Huey said trying to get off topic, "she wanted to know if she was still babysitting on Monday."

"Oh I'll have to call her tomorrow," she said remembering.

"Jazmine what is going on?" Huey said.

"What do you mean?"

"How often do you do this?" he asked.

"Maybe twice a week," Jazmine said meekly.

"Jazmine what are you doing?" Huey said in an accused tone.

"Oh it's nothing. I have a few hair appointments I do for people that's all," Jazmine said sharply.

"Okay and yet you don't seem to have any money," he said accusing her again.

"Look you already know I'm on my own when it came to everything," she said, "all I am doing is paying off my hospital bill."

"What?" Huey said confused.

Jazmine took a deep breath in knowing that this was going to come up. She got up and walked over to the desk to grab a document and gave it to Huey.

"When I was in labour with Rosa, I had some complications and they had to induce labour," she began, "it didn't help that Rosa was born with Jaundice when she was born. She needed treatment right away. It resulted in a high hospital bill."

Huey eye's widen at the amount owing. It was close to $25,000.

"Anyways, I wanted to get that paid off before Rosa started school," Jazmine finished.

"Why didn't you tell me when we talked about all the bills in the house?" Huey asked.

"Because it's my problem," Jazmine said, "I wanted her and she is happy and healthy. I had to do what I had to do."

"Is there anything else you are keeping from me?" Huey asked.

"Nothing. Just I don't want to talk about Rosa's sperm donor because I am ashamed," she said softly.

"Jazmine," Huey said, "you're not alone anymore. When you are ready tell me what happened."

"Thank you," she said, "and thank you for not pushing me on the subject."

"I know you are curious about Malcolm's mother and I don't talk about that. It's only fair that I shouldn't push the subject on you either."

Jazmine nodded in understanding.

"We got a lot to learn don't we?" she asked.

"Yeah we do," he said, "but we're going to be fine."
