Chapter 36

Cartman's POV

"Hey Shannon, can you give me a hand?" I ask her as I walk in with groceries in my hand. I ran out to go grocery shopping. Wendy is catching up with Nichole and Bebe so I asked Shannon if she would watch the kids for me. "There's more in the car."

"Sure dad." She gets up and gets the remaining bags and brings them in.

"Thank you. Thanks for watching the kids. How were they?"

Shannon smiles and nods. "They were good, now they're taking a nap."

"Good. Again, thanks for watching them."

She shrugs. "It's not like I have anything else to do."

"What about Kobe? You two aren't hanging out anymore?"

She shakes her head. "He's preoccupied with Julia."

My eyes widen. "Julia? So he's allowed to hang out with her now?"

"I guess so."

Well this is interesting. "I find that hard to believe knowing Kyle. He thinks the world of his kids and views Julia as something on the bottom of his shoe."

"Can you promise not to say anything?"

"I'm not keeping secrets from Wendy."

"Come on dad. You know what Julia will do if she finds out I said something."

I shake my head. "No she won't and if she puts her hands on you, she's out of here! She's almost on her way out as it is!"

"I don't want any trouble. My big mouth is what drove Kobe right back to her." She pouts.

"Fuck him! He's a dirty Jew rat! You'll find someone who won't use you."

She nods. "Thanks dad. I'm going to head on home now."

"You're welcome. Thanks again for looking after the kids." I kiss her on the forehead. "Remember what I said. Kobe isn't the only guy out there. You're going to college next fall, you may meet someone there."

"Thanks again dad! See you!"

"Bye." She leaves. I decide to text Wendy and let her know what Julia has really been up all this time. I told Shannon I wasn't going to keep that from Wendy and I meant it. There are no secrets between us. What better time to let her know then while she's out with Nichole…

Stan's POV

I'm at the mall with Eli shopping. He's picking up some weight and has grown out his clothes. He's still not big enough to fit Eric Theo's clothes so that's the reason why we're at the mall now. On the way out, I pass by Kay Jewelers. I head right to the engagement ring section.

"You think mommy will like this?" I ask Eli. I see a gorgeous diamond 1-3 ct. 10k white gold ring. Then I look at the price. "$1100? There's no way I can afford that."

"I know you're not looking at what I think you're looking at..." I turn around and see Kyle with his arms folded.

"I'm looking at engagement rings."

He laughs. "You're in the wrong store. You can't afford anything in here. Claire's is upstairs, that's more aligned with your budget."

"Gee thanks..." I turn back and continue looking at rings. I feel the stroller moving and I quickly turn and see Kyle pushing the stroller. "Dude, what the hell are you doing?"

"I'm showing you how quickly someone could snatch your child. Pay attention!" He scolds me.

"Don't do that again!" I check on Eli and he's sound asleep. I stroke his cheek before turning my attention back to Kyle. "Don't ever try to scare me like that again!" I shove him a bit. Ever since I had that scare thinking that he was kidnapped, I've become really paranoid and over protective. I fear someone is going to take him from me.

He smirks. "Ok, you're finally starting to act like a parent, good for you! Maybe you'll actually discipline this one if he gets out of pocket!" He turns to walk off and now I'm angry.

"Instead of worrying about my parenting skills, maybe you should worry about why your son is sneaking around behind your back to see my daughter!" I accidentally blurt out.

He turns back around. "What did you say?"

I put my hand over my face. "Oh shit!" I mumble. I really didn't mean to say that.

Kyle gets closer to me. "You're lying!"

Well now that the cats out of the bag, there's no use in denying it. "They've been secretly seeing each other for a few months now…"

"You knew? Why the hell didn't you say anything?"

I shrug. "It really wasn't my place…"

Kyle's face turns red. "It wasn't your place? IT WASN'T YOUR PLACE? WHAT THE FUCK DUDE?" I notice other customers looking at us and Eli starts crying.

"Shh…" I rub his stomach to calm him down. "Let's not discuss it in here." He nods and follows me out of the store. We go and sit down on a bench. I pick up Eli and rock him trying to quiet him.

"Why would you keep that from me?"

"I told Julia I wouldn't say anything."

"You're supposed to be the parent! You know Nichole and I forbade Kobe from seeing Julia! I don't want her corrupting my son!" He continues his scolding.

"She's happy, she said they're both happy. Just let it go dude."

"I'm not letting shit go! You may let your child run over you, but mine doesn't!" He stands up. "I'm putting an end to this once and for all!"

"What are you going to do?"

"You'll see!" He looks at me and I notice his face soften a bit. "By the way, if you're going to be raising this kid, you may want to take his mom to court and sue for full custody."

I nod. "I plan to once I get the money. If you know someone, I really would appreciate the help."

"I'll see what I can do." He storms off.

I wasn't expecting that response, I expected him to reject me like he did the last time. I put Eli back in the stroller and go back into Kay's. I'm now worried about the aftermath of this whole Julia and Kobe issue. Me and my big mouth…

Kobe's POV

I'm studying for my AP Physics exam and texting Julia. She sure is being weird tonight. Well not exactly weird, but she keeps talking about…sex. Sex has been her topic of conversation for the last few weeks. It's making me a little uncomfortable.

So when are you going to put it in me? She texts me.

I thought we were taking it slow? I respond back.

This is too slow! I just saw the tortoise pass us!

LOL! You're funny.

I'm not! Seriously, I want your dick in me! My eyes widen I never expected her to be so forward about it. Just as I'm about to respond, mom and dad barge in my room. Neither one of them look happy. "Hi guys, something wrong?"

"Kobe, we told you to stay away from Julia, right?" Mom asks.

I look away and nod. "Yes ma'am…"

"Did you listen? LOOK AT ME!"

I look at her. "We like each other…"

She slams her hand down on my desk. "You were given a direct order and you disobeyed us! This is exactly why we didn't want you around the little slut! You've never in your life disobeyed or disrespected us!"

"Don't call her a slut!" I make the mistake of raising my voice.

"Young man, you watch your tone!" Dad steps in sternly.

I lower my head. "Yes sir. Sorry mom."

"I just want to let you know we've filed a temporary restraining order against Julia."

Now I'm really confused. "For what? She didn't do anything wrong."

"I'm sure she has and I'll find out." He holds his hand out. "Give me your phone!"

"What?"

"Since you've been lying to us, you're no longer allowed to have your phone."

"Dad, that's not fair!"

"Neither is lying to us!" Mom tells me as she snatches my phone and gives it to dad. "I'm sure you'll find something incriminating on there." Mom tells dad. I immediately start to sweat thinking about the recent text messages she sent me.

"Coming from that trash, I'm sure!" Dad looks at me. "What are you so nervous about?"

"N-nothing. How did you guys find out anyway?"

"Your little girlfriend was dumb enough to tell her parents." Mom informs me. "Not too bright for someone who wants to keep something a secret." She and dad laugh as they head out of my room. I let out a sigh of relief. At least they didn't ground me, but I still need to warn Julia about what's going on. Since I can't text her, I decide to send her an email. As soon as I get my email open, dad comes into my room and takes my Ipad.

"No tablets either!" He also grabs my laptop. "I'll give this back to you when you need it for homework. Now finish studying and go to bed!" He leaves.

"Shit!" I mumble to myself.
