Over the next week, I had helped Rimfire get everything ready for Christina's funeral. I still felt bad for him. He shouldn't have lost her like that. I did help him explain to his son that mommy is in heaven now and watching over both of them.

Apparently, dumbing it down for a 6 yr. old was a stupid idea. He understood what happened to his mother. He definitely takes after his father. Now that I think about it, he never told me his son's name. I didn't worry too much about it. I chalked it up to Rimfire being preoccupied with his wife's death.

I noticed that Nosedive showed up in a very nice, very expensive suit. I didn't question where he got it, cause I knew where it came from. It was Throttle's suit from when we got married. I was surprised it fit Nosedive. They were nowhere near the same height. I shrugged it off and was just glad he made it.

I made sure the funeral was the best I could put together for Rimfire. We had refreshments afterwards so people could chat amongst themselves and give their condolences to Rimfire.

He was surprised that so many people showed up. Everyone from Christina's former job, Hooters. They all had very nice things to say about her during the funeral.

I had pulled Rimfire aside and asked him if he has called his uncle. "I plan to tonight after my son is in bed. I do apologize for not telling you my son's name. Planning Christina's funeral was important. His name is Michael. I wanted to follow in my grandparents' footsteps by naming my son with the first initial of my last name. Why did you ask if I had talked with uncle Modo yet?"

"I had gotten a Skype call last week and both Throttle and your uncle were on the screen. Throttle told me that both him and Ty are dying, but I think they were playing a sick joke. I wanna be wrong, though. I can't even imagine your uncle going along with something that sick and twisted."

"From what my mom had told me, her and uncle Modo use to play jokes on each other, but never to that degree that you're saying. Maybe I'll call him now. I've decided not to move to California. I don't wanna take my son from his friends."

"That's what my parent's did. They moved me around a lot. I moved Ty around a lot when he was a teenager."

"Didn't you have twins?"

"Yeah. Tony turned on me at age 4. I missed 10 yrs. of his life cause I left."

"Can I ask why you left your family?"

I explained why I had left my family for 10 yrs. He was a bit shocked.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

While Nosedive and I were out for a drive, my phone rang. I recognized the ringtone. I knew who was calling me. I didn't wanna deal with him at the moment. Nosedive noticed who was calling.

"Aren't you going to answer that?"

I looked at him. We had stopped at a bar. "Hell no. I have nothing to say to him right now."

"What happened?"

"Take a look at the text I got from Rimfire about 2hrs. ago."

Nosedive grabbed my phone and opened the text message app. He opened the messages that Rimfire had sent me. He read them all, then looked at me.

"Seriously? Throttle pulled this bad of a prank on you? What an ass."

"Right? He ruined the only chance of getting back together with me. I do feel for Modo, though. He was roped into this sick, twisted joke."

"You going to call Modo at least?"

"Yeah, I am. At least after I have a few drinks."

"Think you should be drinking, Mike? Wing told me once that you and him got wasted one time after the big game."

"Heh, that was a fun night. I was surprised either of us could walk after all that we drank that night."

"Mallory was a bit disappointed in my brother that night, too."

"It could be why she didn't fully trust me when Throttle and I showed up that day. After the fight with Dragonus and his idiots, she found out I was a good fighter and apologized for not fully trusting me at first."

"I heard about that fight. I also heard it was finished about 30min. after it started."

"Yep. I took my K-Bar and slammed it into the neck of Dragonus and slid all the way down his back, slicing him in half. Then I killed his cronies next. That fight was when every single NHL player was with us."

"That was when my bro and the team were killed, huh?"

I nodded my head. I really didn't wanna get into it any more. Nosedive noticed that I had gotten quiet after he asked his question.

"I'm an idiot. Even after this long, you're still grieving, aren't you?"

"Yeah. I just don't show it much cause I'm trying to move on, but since I've lost 2 good friends recently, so, that's why I wanna go drink. I need to get my mind off of what I've been going through."

We had walked into the bar and sat down at a table. The barkeep walked over and asked us what we would like to drink.

"Whatever is on tap is fine with me. I take that back. I'm not crazy about dark beers, so none of those, please."

"Not a problem, ma'am." Then he turned to Nosedive.

"Nothing but water for me. Someone has to be sober and the designated driver."

Before the barkeep left, I told him not to stop bringing the drinks over. I also told him to bring the Jack Daniels bottle over and leave it. He looked at me weird, but did as he was told.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

6hrs. later, I had gotten completely wasted but still managed to walk just fine. I even grabbed the keys to the vehicle and Nosedive took them from me. He put them in his pocket.

"I don't think so, Mike. I don't care if you think you can drive, I'm not looking to die yet. I'm driving. End of discussion."

I pulled out my cell phone and tried to call Modo, but I seemed to fumble with it. Nosedive caught it before it fell on the ground.

"I'll call him. Apparently, you can't do much in your drunken state."

"I'm not that drunk, Dive. I can drive with no problem. I've done it before."

"Still not happening. I think Modo would have my head for letting you drive drunk. Does he even know that you drink?"

"Yeah, actually he does. He's seen me drunk when him and Throttle were trying to stop me from drinking my life away after the many times I had left Throttle."

"Can I ask why you left him so many times?"

"I'm bi-polar, Dive. It explains why I was doing the things I did. It doesn't mean I'm crazy. Just means that there's a chemical imbalance in my brain. I'm suppose to be taking my meds, but I haven't been for the past week and a half."

"Think you should be?"

"Yeah, but I didn't like what they are doing to me. All I wanna do is sleep."

"Maybe you should tell your Dr. that."

"Yeah, you're right."

Then Nosedive proceeded to call Modo and tell him that I'm drunk and will be sleeping it off at my old place.

"Is she at least coherent enough so I can talk with her?"

"Yeah, she is." Then he handed my phone to me. "Its Modo."

"Hey big fella."

"Hey darlin'. I'm sorry about the prank Throttle pulled on you. Please don't be mad at me."

"I'm not mad at you, Modo. Rimfire told me you were roped into it against your better judgment. I know you wouldn't willingly go along with it. I saw it in your eye. I also know you're pissed at Throttle for pulling this sick, twisted prank. I had real tears streaming down my face. I don't think he even cared that I was already hurting."

"He thought it was funny seeing you in tears. I didn't think it was funny at all. Even your twin boys thought it was funny. Troy wasn't laughing. He agreed with me that it wasn't funny."

"I'm glad he didn't think it was funny. Between losing Charley 2 yrs. ago and Rimfire losing his wife, I'm not in my right mind. I've got so much on my mind right now. When I do come back, We're moving. I wanna get as far away from Throttle and the twins as I can. Troy is coming with us since he has more respect for me than those 3 do. I want us to get married as soon as I get back."

"Where did you plan to move to? Back there to Chicago?"

"Nope. I was thinking somewhere else. Not sure where though. I'm hoping to have somewhere picked out by the time I get back there."

"As soon as you get back, we'll get married. Glad we dated a while before marriage. I didn't want you going through what you did with Throttle. He has no idea what he lost when you divorced him."

"His loss, your gain. I'm also glad that I did things right the 2nd time around. Rimfire decided not to move. He doesn't wanna take his son from his friends. I know how that is."

"When will you be on your way back? I've been missing you something fierce."

"Probably not til tomorrow, according to Dive. He wants me to sleep off my drunken state. Thing is, I'm not real drunk."

"Humor him. He's looking out for your well-being."

"I'll see you tomorrow then. I love you, Modo. I can't wait to be your wife."

"I love you too, Michelle. I also can't wait for you to be my wife. I'll see you tomorrow."

Then I ended the call and put my phone away.

"I'm still not as drunk as you think I am, Dive. I sober up quick. I'd like to head back to Cali so I can spend time with my fiancé before we go get married."

"Then I'll take you. You can sleep on the way there. I wanna look for a job while there, anyway."

"You're gonna move there permanently? You're welcome to live in the spare house."

"Really? Awesome!"

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

The next couple of days was spent on the road and sleeping in the car when we were both tired.

We took turns driving back to Cali. We also stopped for food and gas along the way. Nosedive never really took in the scenery on the from Chicago to Cali, until the trip there. He couldn't get over how beautiful it was.

When we finally arrived at my house, Modo was sitting outside with his mom, who, surprisingly was still alive. I also noticed that Troy was sitting outside with them. They were all having lunch.

After we got out and closed the doors, we walked up to them and Dive sat down next to Meredith. I draped my arms over Modo's shoulders and took his lunch from him. I stood up and took a bite of his sandwich. He turned around and smiled at me.

I offered his sandwich back and declined. "I was done anyway. I see you 2 decided to come back anyway."

"Actually, it was more my idea. Nosedive and I took turns driving and we stopped to sleep, get gas and food along the way. I also wanted to spend time with you before we get married."

Meredith looked at her son, then at me. I looked at Modo.

"You didn't tell your own mother you're getting married again?"

"What do you mean…again? Did he divorce Charley?"

"Guess he didn't tell you about that, either. Charley co…" I had gotten cut off by Modo.

"Please not in my presence, darlin'." I smiled and nodded.

Meredith looked at her son. "Modo Martin Maverick you will tell me this instant."

I looked at him in total shock. "Your middle name is Martin? I like it. It fits you."

Modo sighed and told his mother what happened to Charley. She was shocked then tears formed in her eyes. She loved Charley like a daughter. Modo had also started crying while telling his mom.

"I am so sorry, Modo. If you had told me after it happened, I would have been here sooner in your time of need."

"I know, momma. You have your own life and I have mine. I didn't want you to worry about me."

"Young man, I am your mother, no matter your age. I will worry about you til the day I die and beyond."

"Yes ma'am."

I stayed silent the whole time. I just stood there and finished the sandwich.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

About a month later, we had gotten married. His mom wanted him to have a huge wedding. Somehow, she paid for everything. I had offered, but she wouldn't allow me to. I told her I don't wear dresses, but she insisted I wear one. I will admit, the dress she picked out for me was gorgeous. I'm just not into things like that.

The wedding was very nice. Meredith went all out for Modo and I. I really didn't want Throttle there, but he is family and as much as I don't want to admit it, Tony and Ty are family, too.

Modo asked Troy to be his best man instead of Throttle. I'm glad he asked Troy and I'm glad he said yes.

Modo had told Throttle that he was going to be on his best behavior and keep his mouth shut during the ceremony. Surprisingly, Throttle stayed quiet during the whole wedding ceremony and during the reception. In fact, he went back inside the house during the reception. We had the wedding outside since it was a nice, Spring day.

That night, Modo and I got down to business. He didn't hesitate in ripping my wedding dress off of me. No signs of remorse after, either. I was looking forward to spending my life with him.

I ripped his suit off of him and just drooled over his body. His body, head to toe, was all mine. I couldn't wait to have him deep inside me and his hands all over my body. I know he's looking forward to it, as well. I haven't told him I don't want any more kids.

He noticed the look in my eyes. "What's wrong, darlin'?"

"I don't want any more kids. I'm sorry, honey."

He smiled and kissed me. "Don't be. Troy is the only son I want. Yes, I want to formally and legally adopt him and give him my last name."

"He'll love that. Now, if you don't finish what you started, I will and I won't go easy. I play dirty in the sack."

Modo whispered into my ear all the things he has planned for me tonight. My eyes widened in shock then I smiled and rubbed my hands together in an evil way, but I did it in a sexual, evil way. If that's even a thing.

We went all night long and all morning long. Talk about amazing. It was mind blowing. I had no idea he knew the whole Kama Sutra book and then some. He put Throttle to shame in the bedroom. Modo was absolutely incredible. I still wanted more of him. I couldn't get enough. By the way I could tell, he wanted more, too.

Modo was leaving kisses and bites all over my body. I moaned every time he bit me. I loved how he would draw blood on me. He turned me on in every little way possible. He's more of a man than Throttle could ever think of being.

By the evening, we had finally come down from our sexual high. 24hrs. straight was absolutely mind blowing. I had finally rolled over onto my back after he finally went limp and had cum numerous times.

I looked over at Modo and smiled. "That was….incredible. I had no idea I could go that long."

Modo looked at me and rolled towards me so he was laying on his left side. He started making little circles on my body. Then he drew an imaginary line down to my very wet, very throbbing pussy and stuck 2 fingers inside me and thrust hard and deep into me. I was moaning and groaning every time he thrust his fingers into my wet pussy. He brought his tail around and started rubbing my clit while he was finger fucking me. I grabbed his large endowed cock and started stroking him. He was nearly rock hard before I started stroking him.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

Several hours later, I had fallen asleep. Modo decided to get something to eat while I slept soundly. At least he thought I would sleep soundly.

While he was making himself a sandwich, he heard screaming from our shared room. It also woke Throttle, cause he practically jumped from the top of the stairs down to the floor. He had heard the screaming.

He ran through the bedroom door and saw me thrashing on the bed. He knew what was going on cause he had to deal with it after he had come back from Mars the first time.

Modo had no idea what was going on. He stood there and watched Throttle hold me down with his tail and his hands. Throttle smacked me to get my attention and to wake me up.

I woke up and was wide eyed. It took me a bit to realize where I was. I noticed that Throttle had straddled me and had my arms pinned above me.

"Wh…what's going on?"

"You had a nightmare. Are you ok?"

I looked at him weird.

"Do I know you? And why are you on top of me?"

Throttle let go of my legs and hands, then got off of me. He stood next to my bed, then looked at Modo. Modo had no idea what was going on. He decided to come into our shared room and sat down next to me.

"Do you know who I am, darlin'?"

"I'm sorry, but I don't. Should I?"

Modo wasn't sure how he should respond without getting hit. Both Throttle and Modo looked at each other then back at me.

"You're absolutely sure you don't know either of us?"

"I'm very sure, sir. And I know I wouldn't invite strangers into my house, let alone my bedroom. You both need to leave before I call the police."

Modo was about to say something, but Throttle stopped him. He guided Modo out of my room and apologized for the inconvenience.

After they walked out to the garage, they both looked at each other in complete shock.

"What just happened, Throttle? Did I just lose my new wife?"

"Looks that way, unless she's getting back at me for playing that sick joke on her."

"Her and I talked about that. She hadn't planned to do anything like that. She didn't feel the need to make things worse."

"That's good to know. Tony, Ty and I shouldn't have done that to her. You were right, it was wrong. I may never get to apologize now if she really doesn't know us."

"Aren't the boys still in the house?"

"Damn! You're right. I better call Ty and tell him what's going on and to get himself and his brothers out of the house before Michelle finds out." Then he pulled out his cellphone and called Ty.

"Hey dad. What's up?"

"You need to get your brothers and yourself out of the house right now. There's something wrong with your mother and I don't wanna find out that she threatened bodily harm to you 3."

"What is exactly wrong with her, dad?"

"She doesn't know who we are. Modo and I think she may have amnesia after having a nightmare. We'll just head to the scoreboard for now until she regains her memory."

"Sure she's not getting back at us for the prank we pulled on her?"

"I don't think so, Ty. You 3 need to come out to the garage before she sees you."

While I was getting changed, I heard strange voices coming from upstairs. I headed upstairs to see who was up there. There shouldn't be anyone up there.

As I reach the top of the stairs, I saw 3 boys in the room. One of them was on the phone with someone.

"Who the hell are you 3 and what are you doing in my home? Get out!"

All 3 ran out of their room and down the stairs to the garage.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

The Quigley Field scoreboard. All 5 of them couldn't believe what was going on. Modo didn't want to be around the others right now, so he went for a walk. He decided to walk to the Last Chance Garage and say a few things to Charley. He wished she was still alive so he could get the answers he needs right now.

Throttle watched Modo leave the scoreboard. He felt for his best friend. He also feels bad for his boys. They had possibly lost their mother due to her amnesia from the nightmare she had.

Throttle looked over at the boys and saw how dejected they looked. He walked over to the table and sat down next to Troy.

"How are you 3 holding up?"

They looked at Throttle with tears in their eyes and staining their fur. It broke his heart to see his sons' crying. He was almost in tears himself.

"We're hurting, dad. What if mom doesn't remember any of us? What if we are nothing more than strangers to her? What's going to happen to Uncle Modo?"

"All good questions, Tony. Unfortunately, I don't have answers for you 3. I know your uncle is hurting. He may look intimidating, but deep down, he's very sensitive. I know this is killing him inside. Even though Charley is gone, he's still hoping to get some kind of answer for what he should do."
