Mama We're all full of Lies

The station was short on staff with Vera out and Dimitri MIA so Bekka and Ben responded to a call about a child in a hot car. On scene, Bekka realized it was Crimson’s car and she freaked out. “Oh my god, Ben!” She  ran over to the car and looking through the window she saw little baby Hope unresponsive, and she felt her chest tighten like she couldn’t breathe herself. Ben warned Bekka to stand back as he busted the glass Bekka went right in after the baby  pulling her from the car seat. “Hope!” Bekka bounced the baby in her arms. “She’s soaked! Where’s the medics?!!” Bekka brushed back Hope’s wet hair it was drenched to her head and Bekka was panicking she wanted Dimitri there just because for some reason she thought he needed to be there it was comfort thing and she was going to be fine but it was a want that made it’s feeling known within her. Bekka had that angry mad mother look the one where tears were in her eyes but it was full on anger as she saw Crimson walk out Bekka passed Hope to Ben and she went on to confront Crimson. “What the actual fuck man!? She could have died there isn’t a dry piece of clothing on her!” Bekka tightened her lips trying not to blow up because she was so close that her fists were ready to fly across Crimson’s face and the fact that 3 weeks later Bekka was still hurting over Dimitri just walking out with Jane and leaving her at the funeral home in rock Hill and never bothering to contact her since then or anyone at the station it was like he got her to say the words he wanted and then he abandoned her and everybody else in this small town and Bekka was so much more irate than normal. Also, she sort of felt like Dimitri’s blood running through her veins was a slap in the face and she was just so emotional right now that she could die.

“Thanks, Hales. I won’t be here long at all.” He tells her. “I just don’t know.” He shakes his head thinking it all through. “It’s okay. Boy, girl just anything she can have will work. It’s been rough, but I guess she doesn’t hate me or anything yet.” He shrugs. “You can see her soon! I’ll bring her tonight if you are okay with that? Thanks again, Haley.” He hugs her.

“Oh god, Honey No! I do that all the time.” He laughs. “Good.” He nods curling his lips under. “Because I hate that other name.” He was honest. “Sucks to be in the parents shadow huh? I’ll have to think about it then.. I just was hoping Clover would like her better if I named her after her.” He shrugs. “Oh well. I know girl you are gonna be gettin’ so real you will spill your masturbating schedule.” He cackles.

“Oh god. no wonder you hate your mother or whatever.” He thought that was also her mother’s name. “Awe, Pumpkin pie motherfuckers.” He smiled as he followed her. “My favorites! Liver massacre and Pancreas wasteland.” He giggles talking about alcohol and sugar. “Nah, but I like to act like it after the first drink because I trick my mind.” He smiles. “Cheers like the corny show!” He snickers as he clinks their glasses together and he sets on her bed.

“Shit yeah I did.” He grins. “I dunno, it’s just Hope really isn’t up my alley ya know what I’m sayin’?” He pops the tab on his drink. “What’s your name again?” He took a swig. “Hella, yeah I do. where’s the bed?” He asked ready to hop in it.

“Oh shit you mean like soda.” He giggles. “Do I look like Nick Jonas? Give me a Pibb. Yah sure.” He took it from her. “Oh, that. It’s her mother’s name.” He nods. “Plus my middle name is Jack and my Sally left so I guess I needed a new one.”

Bekka opened the door seeing a crazy-eyed Crimson.”Hey. Come in. I actually just gave  her a bath after she ate and now she’s asleep. I really don’t want to wake her. Can I get you a drink?”

“Gee, thanks, well, this is awkward.” Crim blinked. “Nice place. I mean still not great, but better than mine. (He shrugs.) Yes, you can always get me one. (He sassy flipped his hair off his shoulder.)

“You don’t have anywhere to stay? What about where you stayed when you were here last? I can’t tell you what to do in this situation. It honestly depends on if you want to keep her or want to let another family raise her. What do you think is best for her?” she asked. “Well lucky for you, I’ve already had a baby. Well she’ll need formula and bottles while she is little. She needs clothes and some other things as well. How old is she?” she asked him to get a better idea of how to help. “I bet she is precious. You picked a good name,” Haley told him. “Remember to breathe. We’re going to get through this together.”

“I was staying with Clover, but she doesn’t even want to see me or the baby.” He shrugged. “I spent all my money getting to Japan and back here, because I was going to get my money back, but since I left I’m not making music so that’s down the drain and I’m broke. It’s not the case that I don’t want to keep her it’s that I can’t give her the best life. is it selfish to keep her here when I know someone else can give her better? ” He asks. “You got any hand-me-downs for any of that stuff that you can spare? She’s five month’s I think is what they said. I’ve only had her for about a month tho. She’s cute. Thanks... Sally is clover’s middle name.” He nods. “Thanks Haley. sorry for disappearing.”

Haley listened to him speak. “Oh wow. That’s a lot to take in. Whatever you need I’ll help. It’s great that you’re stepping up and willing to help your baby. Do you know what you need. Is it a little girl or a boy?”

“Gee, thanks, cause I got no where and nothing to give her. I was thinking and I wish I could take care of The baby, but maybe whats best is giving her up?” He asked her advice. “No, not really. I guessed food, shelter, diapers. Crap like that?” Crimson was in over his head. “It’s a girl. Her name is Sally Jinx Burton.” He shrugs. “Since my real last Name isn’t exactly Onyx.” He laughs subtly.

“I don’t want to see her!” Clover was blocking the door to her trail. Crimson claimed their dumpster baby and now Clover didn’t want to face the consequences. “Fuck off Crimson!”  

“Why do you need five hundred dollars?” Haley asked seeing her friend for the first time in a while. “Also, where have you been?”

Sighs. “Long ass story short. @clover-lovegood was pregnant and she didn’t tell me so we broke up again and I left to go do some music stuff in Japan and I got a call a few months later that she had a baby and put inside a dumpster  because she didn’t want it so I had to come back and see if it was mine and it was and now I’m broke and I don’t have money to take care of the Baby and child services has already had her once.”
