The guys got home to discover that the girls were still all together at Jason and Laysea's apartment. They had called Maxie up earlier so when Ty got home from the pier he had to locate his wife - which he did, and now was being subjected to a lot of female attention. He wasn't very happy about it which he showed by calling Mac repeatedly and asking him if he needed any help programming anything.
Ty was willing to program alarm clocks if it meant he didn't have to be trapped in an apartment with these women together. Laysea kept calling him 'Satan' which he never understood, Maxie kept telling him that they really loved him then giving him a kiss on the lips, Callie and Olivia avoided him - but Callie kept a wary eye on him. Then Laysea started the one conversation that was bound to make him uncomfortable - men and their high handed ways of getting a wife. "How in the world are we, as normal women, supposed to know the laws that this organization lives by? I mean if I had known that by Jason taking my virginity I was married to him I would probably have held out some! Especially after meeting Jared, sorry Olivia, but he was a jackass."
"No offense - before my time so for all I know he might have been."
"He was" came from three mouths none of which were Ty's.
"Oh please, you three have each had your own wars with Jared that he was just responding to. Maxie you are the one that got most of his girlfriends to break up with him - remember? You use to tell them that he either had an incurable STD or that he was gay trying to be straight."
Maxie just shrugged her shoulders and chuckled, "Ty, you know as well as I do that I had a really good reason for it."
"Just because Jared kept catching you out on dates with other guys and would call me and let me know so I could go and have a heart to heart with the dumb ass of the week, that thought he could date my girlfriend because she was pissed at me, does not give you the right to start all that shit with those girls for him! And Laysea, let's be honest first time he met you was when you were running away from his brother. This is after Jason had already explained the situation. He knew you were a virgin and he took it that means that Jason had taken you as a wife also. So he knew that if we did not get you back Jason was going to experience a big loss... there would be big consequences. Which brings me to you Callie, I am not attacking you in any way cause quite frankly I don't want to fight with Jerry. You just have to understand that Jared and Jason took a lot on themselves when you left. Jerry began to drink heavy and didn't want to live anymore. There was more than one time that we pulled his gun out of his hand before he ate it. They were pissed that you'd cause him that much pain - it would have been better if you had just broken it off with him face to face..."
"Ty you know that he would never have let me go!" Callie interrupted him.
"Especially not if he found out you were pregnant with his baby. He would have moved the moon and the sun for you. After you left and he got through the drinking and trying to kill himself, well then he began to womanize. Never the same girl for more than one night and he made well damn and sure that none of them was virgins. He told everyone that he had met the love of his life and she didn't want to be with him so he wasn't going to try and find another one - it was too much work."
Callie looked down at her hands tears welling up in her eyes, "I never meant him to grow cold."
"Why did you think that he couldn't protect you?" asked Olivia.
"The day that I found out I was pregnant his best friend Fred, his wife Tina and their 7 year old daughter Mable were gunned down. So I came home from the doctors to find Jerry completely destroyed. He told me that he never wanted children for that very reason. In hindsight I'm sure that if he'd known that I was pregnant, he would have changed his mind...but I was barely 19 at the time. All I could think about was that I was pregnant with a child that could very well be gunned down and his father didn't want him. I never wanted Jerry to be trapped with me. I didn't want him to resent us later."
"So you took it upon yourself to decide what he really wanted? You never considered that he was talking based on the emotions that he was feeling?" Ty asked her.
"You know what I don't understand?" Maxie said. "Why my cousin would tell you that shit about using a toy to avoid the law?"
"When I heard that I almost beat the shit out of Jason! I kept thinking that jackass didn't have to marry me he could've used something else to take care of my virginity but then I'm glad that I didn't because... you know...it's not true." Laysea commented.
"Yeah I'm glad you didn't try to beat the shit out of me also." Jason said as he walked in.
"You know that you would've liked it."
"Not really into sex in public baby. Now if we were alone and you began to... well that would be a different thing." He said as he wiggled his eyebrows at her.
She gave him a light slap on the arm, "Down boy!"
Jerry walked in and looked at Callie, "I figured that you wouldn't be here." Then he got a sheepish look on his face while Callie got a pissed off look on hers. She walked right out of the room. "Damn it, I didn't mean it like it sounded." Jerry said as he turned to follow her. He found her in the nursery getting Bret.
"Callie...it came out wrong."
"Did it Jerry? Or will I have to live with the stigma of what I've done for the rest of my life? I can't make amends for something I did when I was 19, I can't go back and change what I've done. No matter how much I might want to." She said as tears flowed freely down her face.
"Momma why are you crying?" Bret asked her.
"It doesn't matter honey. Let's get you ready to go."
"But...wait...I want to stay with dad...mom I don't want to go back to grandmas. Scott is there and I - I hate him!" Bret yelled.
"Bret." Jerry said with just that 'dad' tone, "you and mom live with me now. So you're just going down stairs to our apartment." He explained.
"Oh, okay." With that Bret got his coat on and was ready to go.
Callie glared at Jerry, "What if I want to go to my mother's house."
"We will tomorrow."
"No. Now. I don't want to live with you." She told him.
Jerry step up to her, "You're my wife..."
"By your doing. I don't remember anyone asking me if I wanted to..."
"You're the one who had the big revelations today, not me."
"Well maybe I should talk to an attorney about a divorce. Surely this isn't legal to be forced into a marriage!" She yelled at him.
Something flashed in Jerry's eyes and she knew that she'd gone too far. He grabbed her and threw her over his shoulder. "Bret stay here and be good!" He said as Callie started to hit his back. As he turned to walk away he smacked her ass hard enough that he knew it stung good. As he came through the living room Jared was walking towards the bathroom. "Tell Jas I'll be back, Bret is in the nursery, but there is something that I need to take care of right now!" Jared nodded at him.
Jerry pushed the button, the doors slid open and he got on. Callie began to start hitting him again, "Don't make me pull your pants down and spank you good and sound!"
