~*~*This is the final installment, I hope you enjoy*~*~
A few months later, Zoe and I were laying in the bed slowly petting each other when we heard a crash in the next room. Quickly I shoved my legs into pants, grabbed my gun to stealthily find the source of the noise. I shouldered into my office to see water and my ceiling on the floor. Zoe zoomed around the corner butt assed naked, her hand going to her mouth in a gasp.
"Zoe, what the fuck?"
"What?" her eyes were bugging out her head.
"Who the hell were you gonna protect like that? At least bring a damn weapon." I laughed at the absurdity of the situation.
She looked down then rushed out bouncing every which way. I put a hand on my head wondering what the hell happened and why was my ceiling on the floor and where on earth was this water coming from? Realizing I wouldn't be able to do anything about it until the morning, I turned off the light and turned the corner.
I turned the corner right into Zoe who was moving at full speed. So fast, she bounced off my chest to land on her ass.
"Ow ow ow." she whined as I helped her up.
"Oh does princess's bottom hurt." I rubbed it for her.
"Ow Finn, it really hurts when you touch it."
"We're going to the emergency room." I scooped her up.
"What? No Finn. Let me down." she wiggled then her face scrunched up in pain.
"Baby this isn't good. I think you may have broken your tailbone." I slid her to her feet.
"I'll be fine."
I gave her a withering look of warning.
"If I don't feel better by the weekend, then we'll go. It might just be a bruise. I didn't fall that hard."
"Fine, but Friday and not a day later."
"Yeah yeah whatever." she waved me away, "So do you know what happened in your office?"
"Nope, but we'll find out tomorrow. Now let's get back in bed." I pulled the shirt she had on over her head then tossed it away.
She tried to sit on the bed but she winced. She lifted up her leg to climb in but she winced in pain again. For the second time, I scooped her up and laid her on her side. She let out a relieved breath. Disrobing, I got in beside her, pulling her in my arms.
The next day, I scheduled a repair service to see what was wrong. Turns out my pipes froze, then burst. Shit was going to be expensive to fix and I couldn't stay at my house while they were doing it, so now Zoe and I are temporary residents at Alanna's house.
The first two days were us getting used to being in each others faces and the third day was the visit at the doctor for Zoe. The doctor believes it's just a bruise. He prescribed her some very strong medication for her pain and a donut to sit on.
Zoe did not like the donut whatsoever. After eating her lunch, she was allowed to take the pills for pain. Instantly she turned drowsy, holding on to me as I typed away on my laptop. The door was opened, with a smiling Carol and a stoic looking Marvin in our room.
Carol's face dropped so fast, I'm sure she sprained something. She strode over to the bed, yanked Zoe by the arm to the floor.
"It's not enough that you're mooching off of your sister, you had to go steal her boyfriend as well! You whore! After everything we have done for you." Carol yelled pointing at Zoe on the floor.
"Wait, mom-" Zoe's voice slurred.
"And you're on drugs! You pathetic-"
"Mom what are you doing?" Lanna came through the door frantic.
I got up to help Zoe off the floor and so did Marvin.
"Do you see what's going on under your own roof? Your whore of a sister is sleeping with your boyfriend! And to think I came all the way up here to surprise my daughters. You better be lucky I found this out for you or yo-"
"Mom stop." Lanna walked to Zoe, "Hey Zo, are you all right?"
Her hand was resting on her bottom trying not to put too much pressure on it while her face grimaced in pain, "Yes. Fine." her eyes were unfocused.
"Don't coddle that coked up little-"
"Hey!" I barked, "You will not say another derogatory word to Zoe, you understand me? I don't care if you are her mother, I will kick you the fuck out." I held Zoe close to my chest.
"That." she pointed at Zoe, "Is no daughter of mine you adulterer."
"Mom! How can you say that?" Alanna looked aghast at the woman who was her mirror image.
"That ungrateful little..." I gave her scathing look, cutting off whatever it is she was going to say, then she continued, "She is no child of mine. Ask your rotten father!" she spat.
"Ok mom, I think it's time you leave." Alanna spoke up.
"You're kicking me out while that slut is sleeping with your man?"
"I'm gay mom. I am a rainbow flag flying, raging homo. Now get the fuck out of my house." Alanna flung her finger to the direction of the front door.
Carol whorled around and stalked out the door, punctuating her exit with a slam, leaving all of us stunned. Zoe was crying in my arms. I laid her back on the bed to rub her hair until she fell asleep.
Gently I closed the room door seeing Lanna, Stephanie and Marvin sitting at the table. They all looked at me expectantly.
