The Darling-Thomas Combo

"What are you doing here?"

"Nice to see you never left Maria. I'd like a bowl of ice cream."

"I don't think so Mrs. Darling." She coldly said

"Oh shit Maria, you really need to grow up."

"you're not getting anything, so just get out."

"Who are you the owner now?"

"I actually am, and I refuse to serve Freaks."

"Fine bitch."

"Just be glad your kids didn't pop out deformed like your freak slut of a husband."

"Don't make me hit you again." I hissed as I stormed out

I drove home and ate a whole carton of ice cream, then went out to tend to the garden, I heard the wheels of a car rolling up the drive and turned to see Dess's car. She walked on over as I was placing the tomatoes in the basket, "I heard about Elsa. Sorry she got killed by the two faced ghost freak."

"She left me her fortune Dess." I replied standing up and starting toward the house.

"What?"

"Yea. So I figured I make a nice salad to go with dinner, I might make burgers and fries, with iced tea."

"Lissa..."

"I don't want to talk about it."

"Ok, so what do you want me to do?"

"Just sit down, I can do it."

She sat on my counter and watched me make the salad, talking once in a while until Jimmy walked in the door, the kids closely behind him.

"Hi Aunt Dessy." Elaine said, grabbing a tomato from the basket

"Hey baby, need help with your homework?"

"Yea!" they yelled excitedly, dragging her of the counter and to the backyard.

"We have such weird kids, I mean who likes homework that much?" Jimmy asked

"Oh honey, Dess doesn't make em do it." I walked by and kissed his cheek, "So how was the show after I left?"

"They were sad, I told 'em to take the day off, then went to Paul and Penny's to tell 'em. Stopped by the diner for a quick cup of coffee, instead got a gun in the face and kicked out."

"She kicked me out too." I laughed as I took Desiree's place on the counter.

"So you going to sing her song?"

"Of course I will, I always do."

"Damn You are so beautiful."

He walked closer to me and snaked his arms around my waist as I wrapped my legs around his.

"And you are handsome, I hope baby number three has your beautiful eyes."

"And I hope baby number 3 gets your hair."

"What if baby number three gets the usual brown hair, blue eyes combo?"

"Well we try again." He kissed my lips as I heard a knock upon the door, we ignored it as I started to unbutton his shirt, revealing the muscle shirt beneath, his hands moving from my waist to my inner thigh. Then we heard, "Ummmm."

"Hi Penny, I put the salad in the fridge, you bring the pie?"

"Yea but I feel like you two are going to have something else for dessert."

"So how was Max?" I asked pushing Jimmy away as I demounted the counter.

"Good." and then the rest of the conversation occurred over dinner and dessert and five hours later they all left, and I had my second dessert.
