*~From Beer to Paternity - (Jimmy Chance ~ Raising Hope)~*

It all started when his parents sent him out in the family van for a quick beer run. "Get whatever's cheap," his mom said as she pressed a few dollars into his hand.

"Okay, Mom. I will be back in less than a half hour," Jimmy promised.

"Hurry up," Jimmy's father urged. "We want to get MawMaw drunk and send her off to bed."

MawMaw was Jimmy's great-great grandmother. She was as old as dirt and half the time, she seemed to think that Jimmy was her long-lost husband who had died decades ago. It was really awkward! He avoided her as much as possible, but she was a part of the family... his crazy, messed-up family.

He didn't know it, but his life was about to get crazier - a hell of a lot crazier! Jimmy drove the van toward Howdy's the only grocery store in town. He had just enough cash to buy some cheap beer. He placed the cold ones on the conveyor belt as he checked out the hot check-out girl. He'd had a crush on Sabrina since he was a teen with long, unruly hair and exotic make-up all over his face. He always got all tongue-tied when he was anywhere near her.

"So are you gonna get drunk tonight?" Sabrina asked.

"Yeah, the whole family is," Jimmy said with a grin. "Even MawMaw."

Sabrina just smirked. She knew Jimmy's family well. They were an odd bunch, but intriguing. Sabrina secretly had a crush on Jimmy, too, but hadn't asked him out yet. She had secrets she was keeping from everyone who knew her.

"Well, have a fun night," Sabrina said after Jimmy paid for the beer.

*I'd have a spectacular night if I could spend it with you,* Jimmy was thinking as he left the grocery store.

He headed back out to the van and placed the beer in between the beat-up bucket seats. He had just started the vehicle when a sexy blond jumped into the passenger side and slammed the door. "Drive!" she screamed.

Jimmy saw a man running at a quick speed toward the van. Assumingly he was coming after the woman who had just entered his van. "Who are you ... and what's going on?" he asked in confusion.

"Just drive! Please! Before he catches up to us!"

Jimmy had no other choice but to drive away, his tires screeching on the pavement. The woman, who he learned was named Lucy, opened one of the beers. She was chugging it down as the man chased after them on foot.

"Who's the guy?" Jimmy asked.

"My ex-boyfriend," she stated.

"Why is he-?" Jimmy began to question, but Lucy handed him a beer.

"Drink up. You're cute," she stated.

After awhile, they outran the guy, but Jimmy was still driving like a maniac. All the adrenaline had made him thirsty. Like Lucy, he was chugging down the beers. *My parents are going to be sooo mad,* he was thinking. *How will they ever get MawMaw to go to bed?*

The beer was gone and the cans were littering the van. "Pull over," Lucy insisted as they came to a dark lot on the edge of town.

"Why?" asked Jimmy. He was so drunk he couldn't even think straight. He wasn't even sure where he was at that point.

"I'm horny," she said.

After Jimmy pulled over, she crawled into his lap. "You're going to be my next boyfriend," she said as she was raising her skirt.

Jimmy couldn't stop himself as she unzipped his jeans and tugged on his growing erection. He grabbed her firm ass as they began to screw like animals in the front seat of his parents van. After he orgasmed inside her, he said, "Thank God we didn't get caught by the police."

"Let's go back to your place and fuck some more," she suggested.

"Sure," he said as she climbed off his lap and he restarted the van. He didn't even bother to zip up his pants. All the way back to the home where lived with his parents and great-great grandmother, Lucy fondled his pecker.

He was rather drunk when he crawled in through his bedroom window and Lucy followed after him. "We have to be really quiet. I think my parents and MawMaw are sleeping."

"You still live with your parents?" she asked him with a sexy smirk.

"Yeah, why not... I can't afford rent on my salary. I am a lawn boy."

"What the hell is a lawn boy?"

"I mow lawns and clean pools and stuff."

"Glamourous," she said. "Let's fuck."

Jimmy had never got lucky so many times in one night. After awhile, he passed out on her. Lucy was deepy disappointed. She could have gone all night.

When Jimmy's parents awoke the next morning, they found him in the kitchen, making Lucy some breakfast. All Jimmy knew how to cook was toast. After it popped out of the toaster, he began to butter it for her.

"Hurry up," she said impatiently. She was hungry from all the sex.

Virginia and Bert, Jimmy's parents, looked at the scenario suspiciously. "Jimmy, why didn't you come back with the beer last night?" his dad asked.

"And who's this... this woman?" Virginia asked, looking at loose Lucy in disgust.

"Mom, Dad... meet my new girlfriend, Lucy."

"Hi," Lucy said to them, grinning over her plate of toast.

"Just a minute. I gotta piss." Lucy stood up and left the room.

Virginia was looking at the TV set on the counter in a state of shock. A news bulletin popped up about a serial killer. "If you see this woman, do not approach her. She's extremely dangerous," the broadcaster said.

"Ohhh my God!" Virginia gasped when she saw the woman's picture. It was Lucy, Jimmy's new girlfriend! She was known as the notorious Boyfriend Killer.

Bert and Jimmy were also staring at the screen. Jimmy couldn't believe he had been having hot, kinky sex with a serial killer.

Lucy came back into the room and sat down at the table. "That's so much better," she said. "That beer went straight to my bladder..."

Before she could say another word, Virginia picked up the TV set, bashing Lucy over the head. And that was that.

Lucy was taken to prison and after a trial, she was put on death row. Jimmy tried to put all that craziness behind him, until the day the letter came. It was from Lucy.

"Jimmy, My Love,

I need you to come to the prison to see me. I have a little something for you.

Love Always (or until I get the lethal injection),
Lucy"

Jimmy reluctantly went to the prison to meet with Lucy and to his shock and surprise, he found out she was heavily pregnant. "It's yours," she said. "I know they won't kill me in six months... not when I have just given birth to a tiny baby."

But Lucy was wrong; she got the electric chair, not the lethal injection as she had predicted in her letter. Although he had no experience whatsoever with kids, he suddenly had custody of his infant daughter, a beautiful little girl that Lucy had named Princess Beyonce.

When he took the baby in his arms, she immediately threw up on him. Jimmy looked down into the sweet blue eyes of his daughter and he made a promise he'd be a good dad to his baby girl, even though he had never planned to be a dad so young... or for the baby's mother to be a murderer.

"Don't worry, Princess Beyonce. Daddy's gonna take great care of you," Jimmy said to his little girl.

He took the baby home and introduced her to his parents. "You're not gonna keep it, are you?" his mom said in annoyance.

"It's mom is a serial killer," Jimmy's dad reminded.

"Well, she's my kid and I want to keep her," Jimmy stated.

"You can't be serious! Babies are a lot of responsibility. They poop and pee and spit up a lot!" Virginia exclaimed.

"I know. She's already done all those things... and I still want to keep her," Jimmy said as he held his baby girl.

"What are you gonna call it?" asked Bert.

"I am gonna call her Hope, even though Lucy named her Princess Beyonce. I think that's a dumb name," Jimmy replied.

"Well, if you are really gonna keep her, you'll need to go to the grocery store and get diapers, bottles and all that other baby stuff," Virginia instructed.

Jimmy didn't have a stroller or any other sort of baby equipment, so he placed Hope in a shopping cart on top of a fluffy pillow and headed off toward Howdy's. When he got there, he saw Sabrina. "Who's baby is that?" she asked. "Did you steal it?"

"No," he said. "She's the kid I had with a serial killer."

"Groovy," Sabrina said.

"So what do babies need, besides diapers and bottles?"

"I can help with that," Sabrina said as she lead him to the baby equipment.

With Sabrina's assistance, he found everything his baby girl could possibly need. When Sabrina rung it all up, he nearly crapped his pants. He had to give her his last dollar to cover all the expense. "Wow, that beer I had that night turned out to be terribly expensive, even if it was the cheap stuff," he said under his breath.

"Yeah, but she's definitely worth it," Sabrina said as she looked down at the cute little girl.

When Jimmy saw Sabrina looking at Hope with a gorgeous smile, he fell in love with her even deeper. "Hey, do you want to go out on a date with me sometime?" he daringly asked her. "I promise, I won't get you drunk... or pregnant..."

Sabrina laughed. "That's okay... I'm on the pill. Of course, I would love to go out with you."

"Great, but you'll have to pay, because I'm broke now."

"That won't be a problem," she said, because Jimmy still didn't know her secret. Sabrina was the daughter of a millionaire, but she just wanted to live like an average person. She wanted a family - a family just like Jimmy's. And she wanted a cute little girl to love - just like Jimmy's baby daughter Hope.

Sabrina gave Jimmy a sexy wink as he wheeled the cart away containing his daughter and all the bags of numerous baby articles. He was a dad now. His night with a serial killer had given him the greatest gift of all. And now a date with Sabrina, his secret crush, would be the icing on the cake!
