Broken Pieces-Chp88

[A few days later marked the day Planet Skeletor celebrates its 2nd millennium anniversary, n a planet-wide celebration was to be held n everyone got in the spirit of celebrating]

Wander: :) (hanging out with Sylvia)

Sylvia: Ooh chk out the itinerary! There's gonna be a parade, n Hater's family will lead the procession on their Royal Float

Jeeves: Yes. His family n his families before him all hv done that every Skeletor Anniversary

Wander: :) Sounds fun.

Sylvia: U can ask Hater if u could join the procession. Ur practically family now with Hater's

Jeeves: I agree. Seeing u and Skullboy n his children on the Royal Float is quite the sight to behold [his face filled with pride at the thought of Hater n his little family on the float]

Sylvia: Speaking of children, where r the litters?

Jeeves: Skullboy put this Brad fellow in charge of the litters while he discuss the procession with his family. They're at the guest room of the South Wing

Wander: Brad's in charge...?

Jeeves: Yes. "Keeps him occupied", he said. Anything the matter, Young Master Wander?

Wander: Just the way he reacted about being with child... Maybe he might need help.

Sylvia: U wanna go talk to him abt it? Since he's ard the kids, he might be less likely to freak out

Wander:... Yeah. (walks off to see Brad)

Brad: [was in the guest room of the South Wing, sulking at a corner while staring at the litters play-fighting in their playpen]

*knock knock knock*

Wander: Hello, Bradley?

Brad: [grunted a reply] Come in, door's not locked

Wander: (enters) Keep an eye on the litters?

Brad: Yeah, no thanks to ur hubby. Well, since ur here, I'll be off [gets up to leave]

Wander: (thinks)...Wait.

Brad: [stops at the door, but not facing him] Wat?

Wander:... Are you still considering this abortion...? Shouldn't Peepers get a saying in it at least?

Brad: [turns to him] Yeah, n if the doc's not gonna do it, I am. Its a matter of just pissing my master off [gestures at the collar n grinned] And he already had his say in it. He clearly wants to keep it, but I don't

Wander:...(suddenly leaps at Brad, knocking him backward) PEEPERS DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING ABOUT ABORTING THE BABY! HE DOES WANT IT! AND YOU'RE HAVING THE NERVE OF DOING THIS TO HIM AFTER ALL HE'S DONE FOR YOU!

Brad: Wat he's done for me? WAT HE'S DONE FOR ME?! [shoves Wander bk] All he did was order me ard n fuck me! U think he bought me out of the kindness of his own heart?! I don't think so!! I WON'T BELIEVE IT!! HE IS JUST LIKE THE REST OF THE OTHERS!! ALL HE WANTS IS HIS OWN!! I DIDN'T ASK FOR THIS BABY!! I DIDN'T!! AND I HATE HIM!!! [his eyes started to well up but he tries to fight the tears]

Wander: (stares at Brad)...Do you...even want to rid of the child?

Brad: I--!! Of course I do!! Why would I want to keep this?! Its not how its supposed to work!! This is not how master n slave supposed to work!! I'm not supposed to hv kids with my masters, that's just not done!! Its not!!

Wander: (holds onto Brad)...it'll be okay...Peepers also wants the child... he doesn't want to lose another... :(

Brad: A-Another...? W-Wat the hell r u talking abt...?

Wander: (tells Brad what Hater had told him, the reason why Peepers wanted to feel love and have a family of his own)

Brad: [listened to everything, letting it sink in, then he slumps dwn against the wall, shaking his head] No... Ur lying... Ur telling me this to make me feel sorry for him... I don't... [gripping his shirt near his heart, feeling it swelling n aching like hell]

Wander: Brad... :( (holding onto him, rubbing his back) He isn't lying... you're just still scared from all the abuse that's happened to you...

Brad: I... No, I can't... I'm not supposed to feel... This is not how it works... I... [starts sobbing, still clutching at his chest, big fat tears falling dwn his cheeks]

Wander: (hugs Brad, letting the man cry it out)

Brad: [cried for a full 30 mins before he finally calmed dwn] ...I... I'm scared... Wat if... Wat if it doesn't work out...? Wat if... Wat if Demurra is right, that I don't reli love ppl, just the idea of ppl... Wat if... Wat if Peepers throw me away...? Wat if he takes my baby away n is done with me n throws me away...? [a huge wave of insecurities rushed thru his heart all at once, a feeling he had never felt before]

Wander: Brad, Bradley. Calm down, you have to trust Peepers on this...he'll figure something out when the time comes for the birth. (makes the man look at him) Do you LOVE Peepers...?

Brad: I... I don't knw... I'm not supposed to... I can't... Not after... Not after Demurra said... [clutched his chest harder] But it hurts... It hurts every time... Every time he's nice to me, every time he fucks me so good.... It... It hurts...

Wander: You're just feeling overwhelmed with numerous emtions right now...just don't know how to feel... but you should try talking with Peepers about this again...in a better way then you both did earlier...

Brad: W-Wat if he doesn't want to talk to me? He was so angry the other day, n we haven't been sleeping together in the same room since then...

Wander: You've hurt him...and he didn't mean to make you feel hurt either...at least try and talk it out.

Brad: [a long pause later before he slowly nodded, sniffling]

Wander: :) It'll be okay... (rubs his back)

Broken Pieces-Chp87

[Soon the spare dining room was prepped n everyone sat dwn to hv their brunch, n for once, it was a pretty merry conversation]

Loathe: Remember the time wen Hater wanted to join us in building the treehouse? He got so frustrated with building the swing that he got himself tangled on the ropes. I swear he looked almost like he was in bondage [laughed]

Hater: No fair! That rope was reli complicated! [blushed but laughed as well]

Wander: (chuckles, resting a hand on Hater's)

Peepers; (picking at his food, glancing at Brad, who refused to look his way)

Brad: [was officially discharged frm the medic quarters, but he sat like two seats away frm Peepers n next to Angel, avoiding eye contact with him n also not reli eating, just sipping his orange juice slowly]

Sylvia: [was glad everything was OK n ate away happily, laughing at the Hater family misadventures]

Grimm: I remember he tried to sneak into the kitchen to hv some sweet treat wen he was told not to after he just had his cavity removed. He screamed the whole house dwn wen he bit into a frozen chocolate piece. Poor Jeeves had to stay up all night looking after him

Hater: It reli hurts like hell. I swore off sweets for a year after that

Awesome: (also chuckling at the stories about Hater)

Fury: [noticed Brad just drinking] Aren't u eating, young man?

Brad: Not hungry

Sylvia: [whispered to him] U should eat something. Ur eating for two now...

Brad: [turned to her n hissed] I said I'm not hungry!

Peepers: ...Brad...you may not want that baby...(stands up angrilly) BUT WHAT ABOUT WHAT I FUCKING WANT!?

Wander: :o Peepers?

Peepers: You just made a choice not asking how I feel about this!!

Brad: [stands up too] So the truth comes out, doesn't it? In the end its all abt wat YOU want, not wat I want!

Hater: Umm, guys...

Brad: U n the rest of the Masters are all the same! All of u care abt urself, abt wat u want! "Brad, do this! Brad, do that! Brad, lemme fuck u! Brad, show me ur ass!" All of u r the same, selfish n demanding! Well no more! I'm not keeping this filthy little spawn of urs! First chance I get, its gone! Then I will kill u, just like I promised! I hate u!! Always hv, always will be! I HATE U!! [winced at another shock before storming off, leaving another awkward atmosphere]

Loathe: [whispered] ....Okay...?

Peepers: (staring after Brad)... (turns away)...That ungrateful...(chokes back tears and hurries out)

Wander: :( (Thinks; just when things were getting better...)

Hater: [facepalmed, feeling the same way Wander does]

Grimm: Wat was that abt?

Hater: U don't wanna knw. Its complicated

(Outside the dining room)

Peepers: (hugging his legs, sitting and weeping to himself)

Twins: [shows up] Master Peepers. Why r u crying? Is the food not to ur liking?

Peepers: It's Brad...he doesn't want to keep the kid, but... ;( I can't lose another child again...

Twins: [looked at each other for a while, then held out one hand each] Pls follow us

Peepers: (blinks, but sighs, taking both their hands and walking with them)

Twins: [led him to the mansion's backyard where the gazebo n the fish pond is, then pointed towards that direction] Look over there

Peepers: (looks)...?

[At the gazebo, there sat Brad on the floor like Peepers did, hugging his belly as he sobbed pitifully]

Brad: Its not fair... Its not fair... Why do u hv to make me feel... This is not right... This is not how master n slave works...!! Why...? Why...?

Peepers: :(... (feels very bad for him)

Twins: I believe he's just as terrified of the situation. Give him time. He will come thru

Peepers: But if he does something and can't take it back...?

Twins: Then someone will give him the nudge to the right direction. N don't worry, we will make sure he doesn't do something he regrets

Peepers: (thinks about it)...I know just the person who can try and convince him...

Broken Pieces-Chp86

(Meanwhile)

Wander: (Had also woken up, making his way into the living room settling in an arm chair to think about how to make both Loathe and Grimm happy...maybe even like him... he startled when he heard a voice clear itself behind him)

Loathe: [just so happen to be passing by wen she saw Wander in deep thought in the living room, thought abt her parents n Hater's words last night n took a deep breath, entering] Ahem...

Wander: o.o ...(looks)... Hi.

Loathe: So, umm, wat r u doing here all in ur lonesome? [scratching her chin, seem to share the same nervous tick as Hater]

Wander: Thinking stuff... ^^;; I deeply apologize for tossing water in your face, that's not like me at all, just that...

Loathe: Well u did totally ruined my makeup n my nicely glossed horns but... [sighed] Its OK, I kinda deserved that. Its not like me at all either to diss u without reason, I'm just... [hesitated for a while] ...well, just not myself at the time

Wander: :(... (thinks about what he could do for Loathe...) ... (idea) Ding. (digs into hat, pulling out a present with red ribbon and labled with Loathe's name)

Loathe: [blinked at the sight] Wat r u, a magician? [smirked a bit] A little late for a greeting present, dontcha think?

Wander: It's no ordinary hat actually, it gives you whatever you need at any time. And also... I think this might help out with perhaps a certain problem of yours. Just call it a hunch. ^^

Loathe: [blinked again as she received the present] Wat does ur hat knw anything abt my problem wen every expert has given up on? [didn't reli wanna clue in on her infertility to a guy he barely knew]

Wander: It just knows. ;)

Loathe: [rolled her eyes] Fine, I'll humor u [pockets the gift] U ready for brunch? I was just abt to call Jeeves to prepare us our meal

Wander: Sure, sounds good. :)

Loathe: [smiled a little as she waited for Wander to get off the chair before making their way to the dining hall, which was still being fixed by the hired help] Ooh, right...

Jeeves: Good morning, Young Mistress Loathe, Young Master Wander. Wat can I do u for?

Loathe: Pls prepare brunch for us. I think everyone is going to be awake soon

Jeeves: Understood. I will get the spare dining room ready [bowed]

Wander: I guess you guys really got out of hand, huh?

Loathe: Yeah, kinda. Tempers were a little flared that night [scratched her chin as she watched one of the hired help replacing the broken chandelier lights]

Wander: I see...

Loathe: I hope Jeeves could find something to cook. I kinda raided the kitchen last night. Binge eating, a bit of a problem of mine wen I'm upset. There goes my vegetarian diet...again

Wander: ^^; Hard to stick to?

Loathe: Yeah. I started it 5 years ago to try n see if it could cure my...problem, but something would make me upset n out the window it goes. Its an on-and-off thing right now, but I try to stick to it

Wander: (pets her arm in comfort) Hopefully, my gift will help with that.

Loathe: Sure it will... [was skeptical, but didn't want to start an argument abt it]

Grimm: [shows up at the dining room] Man, I'm starved [look at its state] Woah, we reli did a number on that one, huh? [sees Wander] Oh... Hey, Wanda

Wander: ^^; Wander, actually...

Grimm: Ur more of a Wanda to me. Its cute

Loathe: Grimm, seriously...?

Grimm: Wat? Can't I give my bro-in-law a nickname?

Wander: (murmers) Better then 'toot'... >>

Loathe: [nudged Grimm n jerked her head at Wander, hinting him to do something]

Grimm: [rolled his eyes n sighed] Sorry, Wanda... For calling u an uncouth species. It was out of line. I was...not myself last night [seemed to be the go-to excuse for the sibs]

Wander: You and your sister were both just feeling stressed from life problems, weren't you?

Grimm: [glared at Loathe with a "Did u tell him" look]

Loathe: [shot him bk with a "No, I didn't" look]

Wander: Now, now, you two. Let's not have ourselves a temper tantrum again. ^^;

Grimm: [snorted] Yeah... U can say that. We weren't reli thinking straight n just took it out on u. Ur an OK guy actually

Loathe: Yeah. Wat he said

Wander: (nod)... (to Grimm) Have you spoken with Terry? Havent left out anything...important, have you?

Grimm: Wat r u, psychic or something? Oow! [gets jabbed by Loathe] Sheesh, quit it, sis! [turns to Wander] Yeah, I told him abt my... decision. He wasn't reli too happy abt it, bt this procedure is irreversible, n he understands why we hv to do this, so he's OK with it. He said he'll need time to get used to it, bt other than that, we're good, sorta

Wander: :) At least you told him before hand instead of him finding out the hard way.

Grimm: Yeah, I suppose [murmured to himself] It's not like I've nvr bottomed before wen he feels the need to... [blushed]

Loathe: [heard tht n grinned to herself]

Wander: ^^; Heh. I gotcha.

Broken Pieces-Chp85

[Everyone slept in till almost midday after the events that night, pretty exhausted for their own reasons]

Brad: [slowly stirred, trying to sit up] Nnnhhh... W-Wat happened...? Where am I...?

Peepers: (was sleeping, still seated in the wheelchair) zzz...

Brad: [waited for his eyes to adjust before he realized he was in the medic quarters, then turned to see Peepers asleep next to him] Master...? [gently shook him] Master, wake up

Peepers: Mmm...Jerry, that's MY burrito...(yawn)...:o Brad? (leans next to him) How do you feel now?

Brad: Better. Sore, but better [rubbed his abdomen] W-Wats... Wats wrong with me?

Peepers:...Look at me, Brad...I want you to full promise me that you will NOT freak out or it's going to shock you again. (referring to the collar) Promise me, Brad...

Brad: O...kaaaayyy...? Ur freaking me out right now. Wat is it?

Peepers: (holds onto Brad, calmly telling him what had happened and why)

Brad: [laughed nervously] U.... Ur kidding me, right...? I... I'm pure male, I can't get... Its a joke, right? That's a RELI cruel joke there, its not funny, haha

Peepers: -_- I'm dead serious, Brad. Unless you'd rather believe the medic instead.

Brad: [laughed nervously for a bit as the msg sunk in, then suddenly big fat tears started falling dwn as he slowly changed frn laughing to crying]

Peepers: :( (holds brad, rubbing his shoulder) Shh, shh, shh...

Brad: [suddenly shoved Peepers away hard, him n the wheelchair till he hit the floor] GET AWAY FROM ME!!!

Peepers: Ugh! ><... (looks up, almost shaken) Br-Brad...??

Brad: [speaks in a strained voice so that he would not trigger the collar] I can't believe... This... This is all ur fault... U... U could've warned me abt this... Instead u let ur cock do the talking... Its bad enough I'm ur slave, now I'm ur... I don't want this... I don't want this...!!

Peepers: (gets up) Brad...don't...you can't just hurt the baby, you'll...

Brad: I DON'T WANT THIS!!! GAAAHH!!! I HATE U!!! [the collar shocked him again]

Dr Trouble (the family medic): Wats all this commotion? [calls for her assistant] Bloom, give him some sedatives to calm him dwn [turns to Peepers] I think its best u leave, u don't want to agitate him even more n lose the baby

Brad: I don't want this baby!! I DON'T!! [gets restrained by the assistant]

Peepers: Brad! (getting very worried for him)

Dr Trouble: Pls, sir, u hv to leave [ushered Peepers out of the quarters]

Brad: [gets shot with sedatives] I... I hate u.... [slumps as he passes out frm the meds]

Peepers: (is ushered outside)... :( I'm so sorry, Brad... (leaves for his room he's staying in)

Hater: [had woken up n was on his way to chk on Peepers n Brad wen he ran into him] Oh hey, Peepers. How's Brad? I heard frm Wander abt him...

Peepers: ...I was in heat that one week...and now he doesn't want the child... :(

Hater: Oh my, well, I wouldn't be surprised, given wat he had been thru so far. U want me to talk some sense into him?

Peepers: I don't think there is any way to talk any sense into him...

Hater: Do YOU want to keep the baby? Are u ready to be a father?

Peepers:...I just... ;( I don't want to lose another child...want to have a child that I'll actually get to know unlike... (drops to knees)

Hater: Another child...? U never reli told me u had a kid before. U didn't look like u had a spouse wen I rescued u n the Watchdogs frm ur dying planet [helps him up n sat him dwn on a nearby bench to talk]

Peepers:...I had a wife...Penny was the only one who saw past my dorkiness, loved me as a person...when the time came, the child never made it... ;( but neither did Penny...

Hater: Is it bcoz of the Plague? I remember u told me one of the reasons ur planet was dying is bcoz of the Plague that killed all ur females

Peepers: Yeah... I miss her sometimes...

Hater: N wat abt Brad? Do u love Brad?

Peepers: I...is it a wierd thing that I used to love a woman, and now I'm falling for a man...?

Hater: No, u said it urself, ur species can impregnate anyone, male or female, so I assumed ur swing both ways like me. But why Brad? I mean, ignore the fact that he annoys the hell outta me sometimes, but why him? Is that why u rescued him frm the auction?

Peepers: Penny would've wanted me helping someone, even if I don't like them. I was just doing the same kind of thing you did for Wander when he was...you know...

Hater: Ah, I see wat u mean. Well, wen did u start...u knw, falling for Brad?

Peepers:...After the whole heat thing I guess. I mean, I might've called him something but I can't recall right now...

Hater: But u can't say whether Brad loves u bk

Peepers: I guess he just still has his mind on Demurra, even though she's...

Hater: I doubt it, coz if he were, he wouldn't hv allowed u to do it to him, much less continue on way after ur heat

Peepers: He just felt like he didn't have a choice...

Hater: Maybe, but deep dwn in that doofus exterior, I believe he's got some smarts. He could've asked u to do anything, anything else that can compensate sex, anything that could go ard the loophole of being shocked, yet he didn't. He put up a bit of a fight, but he still let u hv sex with him. U hv been nothing but nice to him, he's not that dumb to not notice that. I just think he's afraid. Afraid to trust. He wants to, but his past experience made him unable to. If I dare say, he MIGHT actually like u

Peepers:... (smiles a bit) Sounds a little ironic, doesn't it, Sir?

Hater: Huh? Wat is?

Peepers: When Wander went into heat, he was afraid of being taken advantage of...yet he trusted you to help him out.

Hater: Of course. I'm Lord Hater No1 Superstar. Of course I can do anything [laughed, then paused for a bit] ...But yeah, if Wander hadn't trusted me, if he were hardened like Brad, we wouldn't be here today

Peepers: True that...(sighs) But this is not going to be easy...

Hater: U just do ur best, Peeps. Wish u luck. I'll leave u to ur thoughts then. I need to chk on the other Watchdogs n the ship. See ya [gets up to leave] Oh n congrats, I guess?

Peepers:...Yes, sir.

Broken Pieces-Chp84

[Meanwhile, in the family meeting room]

Hater: Do u mind not stuffing urself while we're doing serious business here?

Loathe: I eat wen I'm upset, deal with it

Anguish: This is serious, young lady.

Loathe: At least I'm better than Grimm [gesturing at Grimm who was reaching for the booze at the bar] I'm still sober

Anguish: BOTH OF YOU NEED TO LISTEN! >_<

Wander: ^^; (listening in on them with the others) heh...

Sylvia: Definitely going well [rolled her eyes sarcastically]

Fury: Grimm, sit dwn n stop trying to drink urself to death, n Loathe, put that cake dwn

Loathe: [groaned] Fine~ [sets dwn the half-eaten cake]

Grimm: Whatever [sat dwn as well next to Anguish]

Anguish: Now then, you wanted to say something, Fury?

Fury: Now I can see that all of us hv left a lot of things unsaid wen Hater left, n I noticed a lot of built up tension btwn u all. I would like u all to bare it out, all in the line. Say whatever it is on our mind. No interrupting, no back talk, just say wat u need to say, take turns to let it all out at once n we will go frm there. Angie dear, would u like to start?

Anguish: I want to say one thing first; to apologize to you, Hater... I've been so busy with Grimm and Loathe, I've barely had the time for you to see how you were doing...was worried you've forgotten all about us... and I hope you can forgive me for that. (looks at Grimm and Loathe) And as for you two, I am fully diappointed with the way you've acted towards him and his wife, judging the poor creature before even getting to know him.

Wander: (fumbling with his hands, nervously awaiting the responses from the siblings; the fumbling hands becoming a nervous twitch of his)

Fury: [nodded] I too would like to apologize. I failed to explain to u properly abt how our family tradition works. We always maintained that the eldest hv to be groomed to be the ruler of this plc, n wen Loathe didn't show any interest, we naturally assumed u weren't as well, wen in fact we hv ignores u. We admit that at times we hv forgotten u, which is why u as the Lord of Skeletor didn't cross our minds, but automatically to Grimm. We ignored ur potential in favour of ur two siblings whom we put too much high hopes n expectations on. For that, I am sorry as well. Loathe, Grimm, I agree with ur mother that u hv been quite unfair to Hater's wife. Whatever resentment u feel towards ur brother, u shouldn't hv taken it out on Wander who has nothing to do with our family affairs. I hope u can find it in ur heart to apologize to him later

Hater: I've already said wat I needed to say before, but I will apologize for leaving the family. Still, u left me with no choice but to do so. Ur interest to Loathe n Grimm were far greater than to me. Jeeves n the twins were the only ones who hv ever cared for me. I mean, who celebrated my birthdays? Who was it that healed my wounds wen I get injured frm a fight to protect the family honour? Who came to my show and tell? Who attended my PTA meetings? Who went to see my talent shows? Who helped me to learn how to control my powers? Who read me bedtime stories, made me my favourite meals, took me to the playground? Who begged me not to leave wen I was one foot out the door? Certainly not u guys

Sylvia: [whisper] Wow, talk abt being ignored. He literally didn't exist in his family

Awesome: (nods) ...Sounds like when your family always overprotected you just because of being a girl...

Wander: Hatey... :(

Loathe: Well I for one am not sorry that u left. U were always the troublemaker ard the family, always wanting to be noticed like some sort of attention-whore. So wat if u got better grades? So wat if ur powers came earlier than us? That doesn't change the fact that ur not needed here. Remember all the pranks u pulled just to get Mother n Father to notice u? Do u remember why Grimm ended up with his stubby horns? Its no thanks to ur bloody showing off of ur powers wen u can't even fucking control the damn thing. N don't get me started with all my personal stuff u ruined wen u tried to act like me to get our parents to notice u. I'm glad that u left. U shouldn't hv come home

Grimm: Yeah, n I won't apologize for that uncouth wife of urs. U think u can just come home after 10 years n then pretend that we can just be a one big happy family again? Who's the one who had to pick up the pieces wen Mother n Father realized ur gone? Who had to soothe Mother's tears wen she comes to ur room every night to reminiscent abt u? Who had to try so hard to keep u a forgotten memories so that I don't hv to deal with the drama everyday? N then u just waltz in here with that furball of urs all smug n like "Ooh look at me! I'm doing so great! I got me a wife n a gazillion kids! Imma gonna rub ur face in it, haha!" Well, fuck u! U should've stayed gone. We're fine with u being the forgotten child, n now u ruined it!

Fury: Alright, now that we've all said our piece, we can...

Hater: [stands up abruptly] WTF is ur problem with Wander?! Do u even knw wat he had been thru?? He had been the sick child in the family all his life bcoz of his clashing genetics, n once he was better n finally come of age to go out on his own, he ended up being roped in by an abusive boyfriend who treated him nothing more than a sex slave! N on top of that we almost lost our first litter thanks to the boyfriend's crazy obsessive lackey who thinks he is exacting his will by raping him n tried to force him to bear his spawns!! He's got more shittier luck than me or anyone of u combined n yet he's still here, quietly taking ur bullshit, so DON'T FUCKING think ur better than him!!

Wander: :o... (amazed of Hater's defending him)

Anguish: Oh... my... he's been through all that...?

Hater: Yeah. I had to kill the boyfriend n his lackey to save him, n u knw how I hate the idea of killing. He's the strongest n the most beautiful soul I've ever met. He made me feel noticed, truly noticed here [touched his chest where his heart is] N I love him. I love him more than life itself, so I don't care if u insult me, I will not stand here letting u insult him

Grimm: Hah! Serves ur Wanda right for falling for a scumbag in the first plc. He's the idiot who fell for the bastard in thr first plc, n u had to get a mate that is already tapped. Ugh, who knws wat sort of sexual disease he might carry frm his old ex. I knew ur tastes were bad, but I didn't expect it to be THAT bad

Hater: His name is Wander, u fucking assbag!! Wat is ur beef with Wander? Why do u hate him so much?!

Anguish: Boys, don't start, please...

Wander: :(... ;(

Sylvia: [rubbed his bk]

Hater: No, Mother, don't coddle him! I want to knw why he hates Wander so much. I want to knw why he didn't even bother to try n get to knw my wife n slanders him the first moment he sees him. Why, Grimm, wtf is ur problem with Wander?

Grimm: U wanna knw wats my problem? Fine! I'll tell u wat my problem is! His mere EXISTENCE is the problem!! Just him BEING here is like a thorn to my side!! U showing up with him all hunky dory fine n dandy with ur dumb kids, rubbing it in wen Terry n I are trying so hard to hv kids! Did u knw how many miscarriages Terry had ever since we got married?! How many times our hopes went up only to be crushed wen our babies died in Terry's womb?! N since we're all being honest here, I'm gonna tell u something we've been hiding for a while, Mother n Father. Dr Trouble said if Terry miscarries one more time, he will die! Terry kept saying its OK n he's willing to die to give me an heir, but I can't allow that! I love him! So I did this! [stood up n took off his robes to reveal that he was a pussy boy]

Fury: :O G-Grimm... Wat hv u done...?

Wander: O_O...is that....is that why...? (now knows why Grimm was against him)

Awesome: :O dude...

Anguish: :O

Sylvia: Dammit, I wish I could see wat actually is going on. It sounded like Grimm was showing them something

Grimm: Surprise, fuckers! Now Terry doesn't hv to do the childbearing anymore, since I'm picking up the slack. He's a hermaphrodite, so he can knock me up no problem. Wasn't easy to give up my cock, since I'm pure male n Dr Trouble is only qualified to make me like this; she said she doesn't hv the skill to turn me into a herm like Terry. But I don't care. I'm willing to do this for Terry. He doesn't knw it yet, I'm keeping this as a surprise for his next heat, but hey, here's ur first preview! Like wat u fucking see??

Loathe: Woah, bro! U fucking crazy?? Why did u hv to go thru all that just to hv kids?!

Fury: Grimm... U... Why didn't u discuss this with us? We r perfectly fine with adoption, we told u abt that

Grimm: We don't want to fucking adopt! We want to hv kids of our own blood! I'm not doing this just bcoz I'm the Lord of Skeletor n I need heirs, I'm doing this bcoz I love Terry! I love him since the first day Mother n Father introduced him to me, n it took me so long to win his heart since we were an arranged marriage! I'm not going to let him die for my sake! R u willing to do this for ur precious Wanda, Hater? ARE YOU?!

Hater: [was a little too shocked for words looking at his brother like this]

Wander: (is getting concerned)...

Loathe: [paused for a bit before sitting dwn] I... I haven't been honest as well... The truth is... I'm jealous of u, Hater

Hater: Jealous? Why?

Loathe: I'm jealous that ur not the center of attention, that u get to do anything u want without repercussions. Do u knw how hard it is to keep up appearances n be the role model for everyone bcoz ur the oldest? Do u knw how tough it is to not be urself for the sake of family honour? U had it good, Hater. Mother n Father kept us under microscope for so long, u fell out of the radar. Ur free, Hater, n we're like in a gilded cage, catering to every of Mother n Father's expectations. I was actually angry that u left, bcoz u weren't held on a pedestal like we do n ur free frm the family shackles

Wander: :(

Anguish: (leans into Fury) Honey... what about what Terry would want, how would he feel about this...?

Fury: Ur Mother is right, Grimm. Why didnt u at least discuss this with Terry?

Grimm: He shares the same idea as me, Father. He doesn't want to adopt. Wen I bring it up, he has that reluctant face on. I knw he prefers to hv his own flesh n blood, n I'm doing this for him. I love him, Father, n I don't want him to throw his life away for me. He's suffered so much already, losing so many of our unborn babies. I don't want him to go thru it again n die for it

Loathe: Since we're out in the open, I also got a confession to make: I'm infertile. I can't hv children, n my in-law is threatening to make Archie divorce me

Hater: Wat?

Wander: :o

Fury: Wat r u talking abt?

Loathe: Did I fucking stutter, Father? I can't hv kids. I'm infertile. I found out 2 years after Archie n I were married wen we weren't producing heirs fast enough. Archie said he loves me either way, that it didn't matter, that we could adopt as well, but my mom in law is one tough bitch. She insisted on Archie taking in concubines so that they can bear heirs for him. For this whole decade, I had to watch while Archie goes to sleep with other women n I can do nothing. Archie claims there's nothing btwn him n the concubines, that he loves me n not them, that he's just doing this to make his mom happy, but I knw he's starting to hv a favourite. He's been sleeping with her most of the nights, n last mth she is successfully pregnant. My mom in law is now threatening to kick me out n pressuring Archie to divorce me. I never told u guys bcoz I knw Father will start a war

Fury: Wh-Why would I start a war...

Grimm: Reli, Father? Hv u SEEN how u are wen ur RELI pissed?

Anguish: You do have your temper moments, ruby...

Wander: Hmm...(feels he heard enough and gets up to leave, something on his mind)

Sylvia: Where r u going, buddy?

Fury: It was that one time, Angie, n its bcoz that guy wouldn't stop hitting on u

Hater: [was dumbstruck for a moment, then sank to his seat n started laughing, a low laugh at first, then louder n harder, like it sounded both happy, relieved n sad at the same time]

Grimm: WTF is so funny, Hater? U gloating on us or something?

Hater: [tries to catch his breath] To think... To think I was the only one suffering in this family, n now hearing all of u... I just... I just can't believe how ironic all this is... [continued laughing]

Loathe: That's why ur such a clueless knucklehead, Hater, just like wen we're kids... [couldn't help it as she joined in the contagious laughter]

Grimm: [ended up joining in as well]

Wander: (pauses when he heard the laughter, smiling a bit)...(turns to Sylvia) Let's just say going to try this a better way... (hurries off)

Fury: [also couldn't help but sigh n chuckled as he shook his head] Wat a dysfunctional fucked up family we are

Anguish: (hugs her husband) And we wouldn't have it any other way, would we, ruby?

Fury: No, we wouldn't [hugged her bk n kissed her]

Hater: [finally stopped laughing as he leaned bk against his seat] So... Does this mean we're good?

Grimm: Not by a long shot, but we're getting there [realized he was still a bit undressed n covered himself]

Loathe: We've got a whole decade to make up for it [giggled]

Wander: (has hurried to the room where he and Hater were staying, taking off his hat) Alright, old buddy...work with me on this... (digs around, hoping to get what he needed...what Loathe and Grimm needed)

Fury: [looked outside] Wat do u knw? Its almost dawn. I think we should call it a night now, shall we?

Loathe: Yeah, Archie might prolly be wondering where I am

Grimm: Yeah, n I need to go apologize to Terry for snapping at him. Gob knows wen he's upset, he'd stay up all night crying n eating bagels

Hater: Wander might prolly be worried abt me, n I need to knw wat happened to Brad

Awesome: Guess we better get back, too?

Sylvia: Yup. Thanks for the help there, girls

Twins: It is my honour to serve [curtsied at them before replacing the grate bk onto the vent]

Hater: [bid goodnight to his family n made his way to his room, n seeing Wander fiddling with the hat] Wander? Ur still up?

Wander: (starts) O.o Oh! Hater...done your family talk?

Hater: Yeah. It was a bit of a wild ride, but we're good, sorta, for now. Why r u still up? U didn't hv to wait for me

Wander: Just...been thinking stuff...(fumbles with hat again)... -___- Anything besides tomatoes...(sighs)

Hater: Tomatoes? [blinked] Wat exactly r u doing with the hat?

Wander:... Trying to come up with something that'll make both your siblings happy...

Hater: U don't reli hv to... But I'm not gonna stop u, am I?

Wander: Probably not. After all, never hurt to help. :P ... (hugs Hater) Feel better since you got stuff off your chest?

Hater: Yeah, n pretty tiring [yawned] Who knew baring ur soul could be so tiring? I'm gonna hit the hay now. U should too

Wander: (frowns looking at the hat)...yeah... (puts it away and snuggles against Hater)

Hater: [yawned again] Lemme knw wats up with Brad as soon as I wake up, OK? [didn't wait for Wander's reply as he KO-ed immediately once his head hit the pillow] |-)

Wander: (giggle) Hehe... (snuggles closer to Hater, falling asleep himself)

Broken Pieces-Chp83

[Meanwhile, inside the medic's room...]

Peepers: Have you found anything?... (standing nearby Brad)

Medic: U hv gotten him here just in time. Any minute later, the baby would've been gone

Peepers: Oh that's go- wait, BABY? O_O

Medic: Oh, u didn't knw? He's pregnant. Abt two weeks now. I knw ur type of species; ur able to impregnate anyone, male or female alike, so I wouldn't be surprised. But unfortunately ur wife is pure male, so the baby will hv to be surgically removed on the due date [doesn't knw that Brad is his slave]

Peepers: Oh...uh...(suddenly feels woozy)

Jeeves: Oh my [quickly grabs a wheelchair to let Peepers sit]

Medic: [chuckled humorously, no stranger to this reaction]

Peepers: Ugh... (isn't sure how to respond to all this)

Medic: He'll hv to be in bedrest for the time being. Try not to stress him out, coz he's at a early critical stage of his pregnancy, so its touch n go. I'll write up some natal care pills for him to take in the meantime, just until he reaches the stable phase. Congratulations [patted his bk n went to fill out the prescription needed]

Peepers: (still feeling dumbstruck) O_O;

Jeeves: Would u like to inform ur friends or shall I do the honours, Master Peepers?

Peepers:...C-can you...? o_o;

Jeeves: [bowed] As u wish [exits the room]

Wander: (sees Jeeves exit the room) How's Brad...?

Awesome: And Peepers...?

Jeeves: [cleared his throat n told them the news]

Sylvia: Ehh?? Woah, that ol' dawg~! [was a mix of surprise n impressed]

Wander: :o ... But how? He may have been spending time with Peepers, even when Peepers was taken off the rest of that one week but...(something clicked) ... o///o Ooh...

Sylvia: Wat? U figured something out, buddy?

Wander: I think...the reason that happened was... (whispers it to Sylvia)

Sylvia: O///O Oh... Oh! Man, I didn't realize it was that time. I used to be able to keep track of his heat in case I need to stay away frm him

Awesome: o.o... Has this become some trademark for us; being unsober somehow then making love and getting hitched afterwards?

Wander: ^///^;;;

Sylvia: Seems to be that way on our posse somehow ^^;;

Jeeves: Now that's settled, I shall take my leave now. Good night, everyone [bowed n left to continue his night patrol]

Twins: [were still waiting in the background for the gang]

Wander: ... (turns to the twins) Ready when you both are.

Twins: Follow me [walked in unison as they led them away frm the medic quarters]

Wander: (follows them with the others)

[The twins led the gang to a room that looks like a library, then towards a rack of shelves where it leads to the cabinet files, n behind it was some sort of steel grate, in which one of the twins removed it n voices could be heard]

Twins: [whispered] We r directly above the family meeting room where this vent is connected to theirs via central ventilation. U can hear everything here, but u need to be a bit closer, coz its a little soft

Wander: (gets a little closer, wanting to hear what they were saying)

Sylvia: [joined in as well, gesturing Awesome to do so]

Awesome: (also gets close) Let's see what they have to say about the previous events...

Broken Pieces-Chp82

Brad: [had run out at full speed to the mansion gardens during the dinner, n by the time he realized it, he found himself within the rose section of the gardens, panting hard]

Peepers: (trying to catch up) Brad?? Brad!

Brad: [manages to catch his breath, then remembered wat Loathe said abt his collar, gritted his teeth, let out an exasperated yell, grabbed a trowel tht just so happen to be nearby n started stabbing his collar. It started shocking him, bt he didnt care as he tried to break the collar with the trowel, sending shocks into him ovr n ovr again]

Peepers: (finds him) BRAD! :o BRAD, STOP IT!

Brad: Gob... Damn... Fragging... Collar...!! I hate u, I fucking hate u...!! [ignored Peepers, kept on stabbing it despite being shocked]

Peepers: (leaps on Brad, trying to prevent him from continuing) Brad!

Brad: Let go of me!! I'm getting this collar even if it kills me!! Gaahh!! [gets shocked again, but kept continuing]

Peepers: ...(grabs Brad's face, kissing him fully)

Brad: [struggled against his kiss before slowly stops n started sobbing]

Peepers: (holds onto Brad, hugging him) Calm down, Brad... just stop... for me?

Brad: She... She called me a sex slave... She said... She said she recognized this collar... I'm a sex slave, gob dammit!! Do u knw how humiliating is that?!

Peepers: (grabs his face, making him look at the watchdog) You WERE a sex slave. But we WILL help you out of this, by finding that sorceror who did this to you. And get rid of that collar once and for all.

Brad: I... I... [wanted to believe him but it was so hard] Ghh... [widened his eyes as he suddenly doubled over, clutching his stomach]

Peepers: (pulls back, surprised) Brad...?

Brad: It... It hurts... S-Something's wrong... Help me... [sobs as he curled into a fetal position, hugging his abdomen]

Peepers: (holds him, getting out his communicator) Sylvia! Can you get me the Medic ASAP?

Sylvia: [was abt to put the twins to sleep wen the communicator came thru, waking them up, groaning] Peepers~ do u knw how hard it was to put my babies to sleep? Wats wrong??

Peepers: It's Brad! He says he's hurting, and-

Sylvia: [wanted to make a snarky remark but Peepers' tone was serious] Alright, I'll hv Awesome get 'em, u sit tight [turns to Awesome] Hey, Fish Face, something's wrong with Brad. Get the medic. I'll stay with the twins

Awesome: Gotcha.

Peepers: (comforting Brad) It's okay...it's okay... we got the Medic coming.

Brad: [breathes hard, whimpering as he kept hugging himself tight]

[The medic was nowhere to be found, apparently left the mansion to party with his friends, but Jeeves just so happen to be on night patrol wen he ran into Awesome]

Jeeves: Oh, Master Awesome. Wats wrong? Where's the fire?

Awesome: Got a call from Peepers, Hater's second in command. He says something's wrong with Brad.

Jeeves: I shall get our family medic right away. Pls bring Master Peepers n his friend to the West Wing of the building [makes his way quickly to find the family medic]

Awesome: (goes off to find Peepers)

Peepers: Grop, where ARE they? (notices the man feeling faint) No, no, no! Stay with me, Brad! Stay with me...

Brad: Nngghhh... Hurts so... bad... [was starting to bleed btwn his legs as he was almost passing out]

Peepers: Brad...Brad...(his voice was fading out on Brad)

Brad: [sobs as he tries in vain to stay awake]

Awesome: Bro! (runs up)

Peepers: Help! Brad, he-!

Awesome: They're getting their family medic! (helps with Brad)

[The duo brought Brad to the West Wing, where Jeeves is waiting]

Jeeves: U two better wait outside. We'll take it frm here [takes Brad n brought him into the room behind him, shutting it]

Peepers: :( (begins pacing, worried for Brad)

Awesome: (sits and waits) They'll take care of him, little dude.

[The commotion seemed to hv woken up part of the household as Hater's family n the gang came over to chk it out]

Fury: Wats all the commotion here?

Sylvia: Is Brad OK?

Hater: Huh? Wats up with Brad?

Awesome: Something happened with Brad...

Peepers: (still pacing)

Wander: Peepers...?

Loathe: Wat? Ur slave got a bit of gastric or something? He did skip dinner after all

Grimm: Geez, is that it?

Hater: Seriously, guys? [glares at the siblings]

Wander: (not looking at them) Like you haven't caused enough personal damage already...

Peepers: (however scowls at Grimm and Loathe)

Hater: [quietly agrees with Wander as he squeezed his hand]

Sylvia: [rolled her eyes at them]

Fury: [glared at the siblings to shut them up]

Peepers: (sees Jeeves step out) How's Brad...?

Jeeves: [clears his throat] I think its best if u hear it frm the family medic herself [gestures him to enter the room with him]

Hater: Go ahead. Let us knw later

Peepers: (nods and enters the room)

Fury: [turns to the siblings] Since we're all here, its time we reli sat dwn n talk

Loathe: Do we hv to? I wanna go bk to bed

Grimm: Yeah. There's nothing to talk abt

Fury: Don't avoid the issue, n u guys r clearly not asleep. I can see crumbs on ur mouth, Loathe. U hv been binge eating in the kitchen again. N I can smell my prized booze on u, Grimm. U hv been raiding my stash again. We r going to sit dwn at the family meeting room n talk this out, r we clear?

Grimm: Mother... [was clearly the most reluctant]

Anguish: Do as your father says. And that's NOT a request.

Loathe: [rolled her eyes] Fine. But I want that leftover cake brought into the room. I'm not done eating

Grimm: Fine

Fury: Hater? Any objections?

Hater: U gonna be OK here, Wander?

Wander: (looks at Loathe and Grimm one more time)... Yeah.

Hater: Lemme knw wat u hear frm Peepers, OK? [kissed him n followed his family to the family room]

Sylvia: They're gonna be OK, buddy. Its their family affairs. Let them settle it amongst themselves. Peepers need our support now

Wander: I suppose...Still didn't mean to drag us into all this...

Sylvia: Its alright. U mean well. Its not ur fault

Twins: [whispered] Would u like to find out how the talk goes?

Awesome: ^^; Um, is that really the best idea right now?

Twins: We knw the best hiding spot to eavesdrop on them. We always do that bk then to spy on the family so that we can help Young Master Hater to gain an advantage on them

Sylvia: Maybe later, after we find out wat happened to Brad. Wat do u think, buddy?

Wander:...They won't find out about us, will they?

Twins: Not unless u want them to [grinned deviously in unison]

Wander: ...(thinks)....See what they have to say at least.

Twins: [nodded] Just let us knw wen ur ready
