Chapter 1: Moving on
Chapter Text
Eugene is standing by Rapunzel's grave with her parents after her funeral when Varian, who was Rapunzel's doctor, and Cassandra, who is a physical therapist and Rapunzel's best friend, walk up to him. Cassandra catches a glare from Rapunzel's father but she ignores it. She was there for Rapunzel. When Cassandra and Varian looked at Eugene they could see the storm of mixed emotions in Eugene's eyes. Fear, anger, doubt, grief, but also the sense of relief that Rapunzel wasn't in pain anymore. Her battle with cancer was over, but Eugene's battle, was just beginning.
"Eugene. I'm sorry. We did all we could."
"I know Varian. I know. The only thing that helps is that she went quick."
"So, what are you going to do now?"
"I don't know. I'm going to need a few days to think about it."
Cassandra takes Eugene by the hand. She didn't have the best history with Eugene but he told her about Rapunzel's illness so Cassandra could be by Rapunzel's side during her final moments.
"Eugene, I know we haven't had the best history, but this is different. You lost a wife, I, lost my best friend, and even though we hardly ever saw eye to eye, you always made sure she was first, and I thank you for that."
"Thank you Cassandra, and yeah, this is the longest we've went without fighting since we met."
"I'm going to be here for a couple of weeks. Here's my number, if you need help with anything, cooking, laundry, cleaning your house, give me a call."
"Thanks Cass. I appreciate it. I'm going to take a few days off before I go back to work."
"Ok, just remember, I'm staying at The Der Sonne Motel, I'm only a phone call away."
Cassandra turns and leaves the graveyard to go back to her Motel while Varian stays behind.
"Well that was amicable."
"Yeah, her presence was actually tolerable."
"Eugene, she's trying."
"I know, I'm sorry. I guess I should be thankful, even if the only reason Cassandra is doing this is because it would have been what Rapunzel would have wanted."
"Well, I have to go. Bye Eugene."
"Bye Varian. See you later."
After Varian leaves, Rapunzel's parents talk to Eugene.
"Eugene?"
"Yeah pops?"
"You don't have to worry about calling that woman for anything. We'll take care of anything you need."
"Oh don't worry. I'm not going to call her. I was just being polite."
"Eugene, do you want to stay with us for a couple of days? You're more than welcome to."
"Yeah, mom. I'd like that. I'll pack some clothes and see you tonight."
"Ok Eugene see you tonight. Bye."
"Bye guys."
Before Eugene leaves the graveyard he runs into Stan and Pete, two of the officers he works with at the Corona Police Department where Eugene was a Sergeant.
"Eugene, if you need anything, even if it's just to talk, you know how to get ahold of us."
"Thanks guys. I appreciate it."
After he says his goodbyes, Eugene goes home to pack some clothes before going to stay with Rapunzel's parents.
"Ok Eugene, just go inside, pack some clothes, and then leave, that's all you have to do."
If only it was as easy as it sounded. When Eugene goes inside his house all he can do is stare. The silence is deafining, the emptiness weighs on him like the earth on Atlas's back. When he gets to their bedroom it hits him like a ton of bricks. Rapunzel was gone, and she wasn't coming back. Eugene sits on their bed and looks at the floor.
"This isn't right. You weren't even thirty. I, I should have went first, not you. I was a thief, among other things. But you redeemed me, and you saved me from destroying my life. And now, I'm afraid of falling back into my old ways."
Eugene gets off of his bed and packs some clothes before going to stay at his inlaws. When he arrives he is met with the unmistakeable aroma of his favorite comfort food: Hot dogs and french fries. Arianna is in the kitchen finishing up dinner. Eugene walks into the kitchen and kisses his mother in law on the cheek.
"Hey Eugene."
"Hey."
"Why don't you have a seat. Dinner will be ready in a few minutes."
"I need to go wash up first."
"Ok."
Eugene goes to the bathroom to wash his hands and face, but all he can do is look in the mirror and wipe tears from his eyes.
"Why? Why didn't you do more? Why didn't you talk to her more, or read to her more, hold her hand more? No Eugene. Don't do this to yourself. I better hurry up and wash up before they think something's wrong."
After Eugene washes up he goes to the kitchen and takes his seat at the table. His inlaws can tell he's been crying.
"Eugene?"
"I'll be ok mama. I just got to thinking too much."
Eugene wipes his face and eyes with a napkin and begins to eat his dinner. He tries to eat but he hardly makes a dent. Rapunzel's parents don't fair much better.
"Mama, pops, this is good, but, I'm just not up to eating right now. I think I'm going to go take a shower and go to bed."
"We're going to get ready for bed too." Replied Frederic.
"You need any help cleaning up?"
"Nah, we'll just put it in the refrigerator. I'm sure one of us will want some later. Goodnight Eugene."
"Goodnight Pops. Goodnight Mama."
"Goodnight Eugene."
Eugene goes to the guest bathroom, takes off his clothes, steps into the shower and turns it on. As he lets the hot water hit his chest he realizes he no longer has to keep his emotions in check and let's them go. He spends his entire time in the shower crying. After his shower is over he puts on his night clothes and goes to bed. He tries to sleep but he tosses and turns so much that he wakes himself up. He decides, without telling anybody, to go for a drive to try and clear his head.
"I need to get out of here. Maybe some fresh air will do me good."
Eugene is driving down the road when he comes upon a pub. He decides to stop and go in. Once inside he takes a seat at the bar and orders a beer.
"What can I get you?"
"Beer, strongest one you have?"
"You look familiar, you been here before?"
"Yeah, few years ago, used to play darts here every saturday."
"Yeah, now I remember you, you're 'Deadeye' always hit the target."
"Yeah, that was me. Can I get another beer?"
"Sure."
After a couple of more beers the bartender can tell Eugene has had enough and cuts him off.
"Deadeye. You've had enough."
"Ok....it's time for me to go anyway...."
"You're not going anywhere..now you can call someone to come and get you or I can get you a cab."
"Hold.....on. I have someone.... I can call."
Eugene takes his phone and calls Cassandra. (Ring ring.) Cassandra answers her phone half asleep.
"Heelllloo?"
"Hey....ice....demon... you busy?"
Eugene's slurred speech wakes Cassandra the rest of the way up. "Eugene, are you drunk, where are you!?"
"I'm at the.... spot.....where...."
"Ok, stay there, don't move. I'm coming to get you."
Cassandra gets dressed, and picks Eugene up from the pub.
"Eugene, of all the stupid stunts. Do your inlaws know where you are...no, because if they did you wouldn't have called me. Hold on."
Cassandra calls Arianna on her phone.
"Hello."
"Arianna it's Cassandra, don't hang up. It's Eugene, he's in rough shape."
"What, what happened?!" She wakes up Fred.
"He called me from a pub, drunk. I have him in my car and we're headed your way."
"Thank you. Cassandra."
"Arianna, what's going on?"
"That was Cassandra."
"What did that..."
"Fred. She called to tell us that Eugene called her from a pub. He's drunk and she's bringing him home. Now, I'm going to go put on a pot of coffee and start breakfast. They're going to need it."
"They're?"
"Fred. If it wasn't for Cassandra, Eugene could be in a ditch somewhere, or worse."
"You're right. I'm sorry. Give me a minute to get dressed and I'll help you."
Cassandra almost has Eugene home when he starts to come to.
"Wha, why am I moving."
"You called me drunk, from a pub. Told me to come and get you."
"Ahh, my head. I, I called you?"
"Yeah."
"I must really be drunk."
This comment hurt Cassandra, but she didn't show it, she also figured she deserved it.
"Don't worry. I'll have you home in a few minutes and then I'll be out of your hair."
Cassandra gets Eugene home. Arianna and Fred get him to the couch where he falls back to sleep.
"Thank you Cassandra."
"No problem. I've got to go. Eugene made it perfectly clear I'm not welcome around here. I'm sorry he didn't call you guys first. Goodbye."
Cassandra turns to leave.
"Cass wait."
"What?"
"Come in, have some breakfast with us. It's the least we can do after you helped Eugene get home."
"Thanks, but I don't want to cause any more trouble than I already have."
Arianna whispers at Fred who is standing beside her.
'fred. the poor girl is bending over backwards.'
"Cassandra, could stay long enough to have some coffee with us."
"Ok. One cup, and then I have to go."
Cassandra goes inside the house and sits down at the kitchen table while Arianna pours her a cup of coffee and asks about Eugene.
Chapter 2: Rebuild
Summary:
Eugene apologizes to Cassandra for putting her in the spot she was in. Realizing Eugene was going to go without eating, Cassandra talks him into going where ever he wants to go for lunch.
Chapter Text
"Cass, what really happened, with Eugene?"
"Let's see. For the sake of clarity I will explain again what happened. I was in bed asleep ALONE, in my motel room when my phone rang. I picked it up and it was Eugene. He was drunk, said he needed me to pick him up. I picked him up from the pub and brought him here. On the way, he expressed his regret calling me. Now if you'll excuse me. I have to get going."
Cassandra finishes her coffee and leaves. On her way out she takes a quick glance at Eugene.
"Good luck Eugene."
After she leaves Fred talks behind her back to Arianna who takes up for her, much to Fred's suprise.
"I don't know what compelled Eugene to call that slut to come and get him...."
"That 'slut' probably saved his life. God Fred, she made a mistake, that was years ago, and Cassandra has busted her ass to turn her life around ever since. Why do you think she left town in the first place?"
"That 'mistake' she made, was sleeping with Rapunzel WHILE Rapunzel was with Eugene."
"It takes two to tango Fred. Regardless of what you think of Cassandra, Rapunzel wasn't completely innocent, but the way Cassandra was treated afterwards, she might as well have been."
As Cassandra is walking to her car Eugene wakes up with a hangover. Arianna goes over to check on him.
"God, my head. Where am I?"
"You're home Eugene."
Arianna helps him sit up. He sits up slowly, his head is spinning and heavy from his hangover.
"How, how did I get here?"
Arianna and Fred look at each other.
"Cassandra, brought you home."
"Oh God I fucked up. I don't know what compelled me to call her. I know I should have called one of you guys to come and get me."
"It's ok Eugene. You're home and that's all that matters. Are you hungry?"
"Yeah, but I need to take a shower first. Try and get rid of this headache."
Eugene steps into the shower, turns it on and pounds his fist against the wall.
"I shouldn't have called her. I know she gave me her number, but it was wrong for me to put her on the spot like that, and to make matters worse, I got ugly with her. After I finish my shower and eat breakfast I'm going to go to her and apologize. I owe her that much."
Eugene didn't even shower, all he did is let some water hit him, after he dries off and gets dressed he eats just enough breakfast to pacify his inlaws before asking one of them to take him to his car. Arianna says she'll do it.
After Eugene gets in his car he takes out his phone and calls Cassandra.
"Please, pick up."
"Hello?"
"Cass..."
"Goodbye Eugene.."
"CASSANDRA PLEASE, DON'T HANG UP! I'm sorry."
"Good..."
"Cass... we need to talk, please."
"Two hours, public place, I choose."
"Ok. Thank you."
After he gets off the phone with Cassandra he drives to the police station to tell them how he's doing. His mind is racing as he deals with mid-morning traffic.
"Come on, fuck! Some people have somewhere to be...light's green that's means you can go...there we go... stay yellow, stay yellow."
The traffic light turned red just as Eugene got to it, which only aggravated him further.
"FUCK! I'M NEVER GOING TO GET TO THE STATION BEFORE I HAVE TO MEET CASSANDRA! GOD ONLY KNOWS HOW THAT'S GOING TO GO!"
While Eugene is trying to get to the station Cassandra is in the shower washing off getting ready to start her day.
"Cass, girl, what the hell are you thinking meeting Eugene ANYWHERE?! Just pick a restaurant and order something small, let him say what he has to say, and then leave."
After Cassandra gets out of the shower she dries off, puts on her bra and panties, and looks through her closet for an outfit.
"Let's see, shorts and a tank, or jeans and short sleeves? Jeans and short sleeves, I need to shave my legs, and I don't really feel like shaving my legs right now."
After Cassandra gets dressed she thinks of a place where her and Eugene could meet.
"Hmmmm. He's been through hell, so I want him to be relaxed, but, not too relaxed. The last thing I want is for us to get into some long, drawn-out conversation about regret and feelings, because then he's going to want to hug, and I don't do touchy-feely. Shit, why is this harder than it has to be? I really don't even care about Eugene that much. I'm just doing this as a favor to Rapunzel, once my two weeks are up, it's back home for me. Ok Cass, enough rambling. Pick a place."
While Cassandra is thinking of a place to meet Eugene, he finally makes it to the police station.
"Hey Eugene, how you feeling?"
"Not good Stan. I'm not eating, or sleeping like I should."
"Eugene, take it from somebody who's been there. It's going to take a long time for you to get back to anything that's remotely normal. Have you thought about getting a hobby?"
"Not really."
Stan thinks for a minute and gets an idea.
"Hey, how would you like to go bowling this weekend?"
"Ok. Sure." Eugene's phone buzzes. He takes it out of his pocket and looks at it: 'Luigi's, in the mall, thirty minutes, be on time or I'm leaving."
"Yeah, I think bowling will be a good idea, I'm going to lunch, tell Pete I said hi."
"I will, bye Eugene."
"Bye Stan."
Eugene leaves the police station and heads to the mall to meet Cassandra. He is almost to the mall when he runs into more traffic, realizing he's going to be late he pulls out his phone and texts Cassandra, she is in a mall bathroom adjacent to the food court washing her hands when she gets Eugene's text: Stuck in traffic, I think there's been an accident, I know I'm going to be late. I'm sorry for wasting your time.
Cassandra puts her phone back in her purse without texting back.
"He still has a few minutes. I'm going to have a slice of pizza and a soda while I wait for him."
After Cassandra leaves the bathroom she goes to the counter at Luigi's, orders her food, and then takes a seat at a table. While she's eating she checks her watch.
"Welp. He's late. Time for me to go."
As Cassandra goes to leave she gets a feeling in the pit of her stomach not to move so she stays put. A couple of minutes later Eugene arrives at the food court frantically looking for Cassandra who gets his attention by motioning for him. He's relieved. He knew he was late and he thought for sure Cassandra had left. He goes over to her table and sits across from her. Cassandra could tell by looking at him that he wasn't doing well and that her leaving would have been to his detrament, and, despite her facade, that wasn't something she wanted on her conscience.
"Ok Eugene, out with it. What's on your mind." Cassandra asked as she wiped her mouth and took a drink of her soda.
"I know this seems like a lot of trouble for something I could have said over the phone..."
"No shit....Sorry, continue."
"I wanted to apologize, for the other night. That was a fuck-up all the way around on my part. I shouldn't have gotten drunk, and even though you gave me your number, I shouldn't have drug you in the middle of it. I put you in a bad spot, and for that, I'm sorry. Ok, guess I better get going. Thank you for your time."
As Eugene goes to leave Cassandra could tell that he hasn't taken care of himself, and that he hasn't eaten. 'i'm going to regret this.' She mouths to herself.
"What are you doing for lunch?"
Eugene turns around. "What?"
"I'm not going to ask again."
"I guess just drive around until I find something that sounds good."
Which was Eugene's way of saying that he hadn't planned on eating luch but was just going to drive around a little bit before going home.
'He must think I'm stupid.' Cassandra says to herself.
"If you could have anything you wanted to eat, what would it be?"
Cassandra and Eugene have had, a rough history, but Cassandra wasn't going to stand idly by and watch Eugene destroy himself. Not without at least trying to help him.
"Anything?"
"Yeah, anything means anything."
"There's this little mom and pop shack, about an hour or so from here. Has the best ribs you've ever tasted."
"If you went, would you eat?"
"Well, I mean..."
"Yes, or no?"
"Yes."
"Your wheels or mine?"
"What?"
".........."
"Yours, I guess."
"Come on, lets go."
Eugene lets Rapunzel's parents know what he's doing. Cassandra follows him home and then takes him to eat ribs.
Chapter 3: Slow rebuild
Summary:
Eugene and Cassandra slowly begin to rebuild their friendship.
Chapter Text
When they arrive at the restaruant Cassandra looks over at Eugene who had fallen asleep. She reaches over and nudges him.
"Eugene, wake up. We're here."
"Huh, sorry. I must have fallen asleep."
"Nothing gets past you does it?"
"Cute. Oh they got that smoker going today!"
"Damn, those smell good. How come I've never heard of them?"
"They uh, didn't open until after you left."
"Oh. I guess that would be a good reason. Well, you enjoy."
"Where are you going?"
"No where. I'm going to sit in the car while you eat."
"No. That's not gonna happen. After eveything you've done for me already, I'm not about to eat while you sit out here, espically when I know you're hungry. Now come on, please."
"Fine."
"Thank you."
Cassandra relunctly gets out of her car and goes inside the restaruant with Eugene. Aside from a couple of customers and a ceiling fan the place was pretty quiet, which suited Eugene just fine. Cassandra was suprised the place was so empty.
"Eugene? I thought you said this place was popular?"
"It is, they do mostly walk-in orders."
"Why didn't we do that?"
"You have a black 1967 Chevy Impala. What do you think would happen if either one of us got ANYTHING on that upholstrey?"
"I would have had a psychological and emotional breakdown and probably would have injured somebody."
"I was going to say you'd snap, but I think you pretty much covered it."
Cassandra and Eugene both looked at each other and chuckled. Maybe their relationship could be salvaged after all.
"So, you're the rib connoisseur, what's the best choice?"
"The Saporian-style ribs with house special seasoning will burn your lips, the pain is exquisite, and so worth it."
"Ok. You want to split a slab?"
"Yeah, sure."
The wall between Cassandra and Eugene was slowly starting to come down. Which is good, because Eugene was going to need more help. They got their ribs and sat down at a table.
"Eugene, oh my God! You were right. These are delicious. I've got to say, it's good to see you eating."
"Why, were you getting worried about me?"
"Yeah, I was actually. I could tell you were starting to lose weight from not eating, that's not healthy....."
Cassandra gets a distant look on her face as tears well up in her eyes. She does her best not to make a scene.
"Cassandra, Cass, what's wrong?" Eugene asked with genuine concern in his voice.
"I miss her, Eugene, and, I'm so sorry, for hurting you. I know you won't ever forgive me, but I just wanted you to know that. I'm sorry. That could have waited until later."
"No, it's ok. Get it off your chest. I miss her too, and, I forgive you."
Eugene's statement caught Cassandra completely off-guard. The last thing she expected was to receive Eugene's forgiveness.
"You...what?"
"I forgive you. Actually, I forgave you years ago. I just never told you, and, since you never asked for my forgiveness, I didn't think you wanted it."
"It's all I've ever wanted. You have no idea how much this means to me. Ok, we gonna finish these ribs or what?"
After Eugene and Cassandra finish their ribs Eugene calls Rapunzel's parents to let them know that he had a good lunch and that he was going to his house. Cassandra then takes Eugene back home. Before he goes inside Eugene goes to the drivers side of Cassandra's car.
"Thank you, Cassandra, for today. I really needed it."
"You're welcome. Do you need help with anything else? Laundry, dishes, do you have plenty of food?"
"Uh, actually I do, but you've done enough for me already."
"Are you sure? I mean, I don't mind, and I'm already here."
"Ok, but I should warn you, it's pretty bad. I let things get out of hand after Rapunzel went in the hospital, and I may not have told anybody about it."
"Ok. I'll come in and see what I can do to help."
Cassandra and Eugene go inside Eugene's house. He wasn't exaggerating. There was trash piled up in the kitchen, dirty dishes on the kitchen table, dirty clothes all over the house, and both sides of the sink had dirty dishes in them.
"Oh....my.....God!"
"I told you."
"Ok, this isn't as bad as it looks. We'll start with the laundry first."
Cassandra gets a laundry basket and starts to fill it up. She turns to Eugene who is standing behind her.
"You gonna help me or what?"
"I'm.... out of laundry detergent."
Cassandra drops the basket and gets an exasperated look on her face.
"You're what?"
"I'm out of dish soap too."
"Oh for fucks sake! We were just in town! Ok. I'm going to go buy you some cleaning supplies for your house. While I'm gone I want all of these clothes sorted. Got it? Good. Oh, while I'm gone, do you need and personal care supplies?"
"Yeah, uh, tootpaste, toilet paper, and deodorent."
"Ok, is that everything?"
"I believe so, yes."
Cassandra looks at Eugene and can tell she unintentionally upset him with her reaction to him needing supplies. She goes over to him and puts her hand on his shoulder.
"Eugene, I shouldn't have snapped at you like that. You've been through a lot and I should have been more considerate, I'm sorry."
"It's ok. I should have told you."
"No, it's not ok. I'll make it up to you. I'll....be back in a little while."
While Cassandra is gone Eugene sorts his clothes like she requested, he just, didn't sort them correctly. A fact that would soon be pointed out to him. After he gets done sorting clothes he sits down on his couch, on the in table beside him is a picture of him and Rapunzel on their wedding day. He picks it up and looks at it, when he does, the memories of that day start flooding back.
'I do.' 'you may know kiss your bride.' 'rapunzel, want some cake?' 'eugene fitzherbert, don't you even think about it. my mom custom made this dress.....'
'i love you, eugene fitzherbert.' 'and i love you rapunzel.'
"It seems like only yesterday this picture was taken. We were so happy." Eugene said as he held their wedding day picture in his hand, his tear drops falling on it. While he is holding the picture Cassandra returns with the cleaning supplies. When she comes in she sees Eugene has a blank stare on his face. She puts the supplies down and goes to check on him.
"Eugene, you ok? Eugene?!"
"Oh, sorry Cass. I was just looking at mine and Rapunzel's wedding picture and I got lost in thought."
"It's ok Eugene."
Eugene puts the picture back on the table while Cassandra sits down beside him. She puts her arms around Eugene to comfort him, and, without thinking, kisses him on the cheek.
"Oh Eugene! I'm so sorry! I did not mean to do that, I'll go! Please forgive me."
Eugene looks up at Cassandra with a look of longing on his face. He puts his hands on Cassandra's arms as she stands up to leave. She turns to look at him.
"Cass Please! Don't leave. I'm not mad, and I could really use the company right now."
"Ok, I'll stay. I'm going to get started on your laundry. Do you have any clean towels?"
"Yeah, I just don't have any clean clothes."
"That's ok. You can take a shower while I seperate these clothes."
"I fucked up didn't I? What did I do wrong?"
"You didn't sort the clothes right."
"Yes I did. I put all of my socks together, I put all of my shirts together and...."
Cassandra corrects Eugene, but her voice was comforting and non-condescending.
"Eugene, if you wash dark colored clothes, with light colored clothes, the colors will run. For example: If you put red shirts in with a load of white socks, the socks and the shirts will both come out pink. Now I could be wrong, but you don't seem like the pink shirt type. Same goes with socks, jeans, underwear.... I'm sorry if I upset you."
"No. I just got so used to Rapunzel doing stuff like this....that I never bothered to ask questions."
"Well, it's never too late to learn. Come on, we'll sort them together, then after we get a load washed you can take a shower.
"Ok." Cassandra and Eugene sit down in his living room floor and begin sorting laundry. It may not seem like much, but it's just what Eugene needed. It seemed like time flew by as Cassandra explained to Eugene what colors could be washed together and what colors had to be washed seperately.
"There, done. Now, after I get a load washed and dried you can take a shower. That way you'll have clean clothes to put on. What time is it?"
"5:30"
"God damn! Seems like we just sat down. Weird huh?"
"Yeah, so what do you want to do while we wait?"
Cassandra grabs a couple of trash bags.
"Have you seen that kitchen? Come on, with the two of us working on it it shouldn't take long at all. And then, after we're done and you've had a shower, I'll get you some dinner, sound good?"
"Yeah, I'd like that."
Cassandra and Eugene proceed to begin work on the kitchen. As they were picking up trash off of the floor and off of the kitchen table, Cassandra would periodically look at the kitchen sink, roll her eyes and continue to help Eugene clean up his kitchen.
Chapter 4: She's gone.
Summary:
After spending time with Eugene, Cassandra starts to develop feelings for him, causing her to feel guilty
Chapter Text
After they're done cleaning the kitchen Cassandra takes Eugene's clothes out of his washer, and puts them in the dryer. She then proceeds to look at the kitchen sink and flip it off. Causing Eugene to laugh.
"Cass?"
"What, what's so funny?"
"Did you just flip off a kitchen sink?"
"Maybe. What? It's mocking me."
"What do you say we take a little break while my clothes dry?"
"Ok.... What, do you want to do?"
"We could watch some television?"
"Ok. Anything in particular."
"No. I just aimlessly flip through the channels until I fall asleep. That's one of the reasons the house is in the shape it's in."
"Well, it's ok. We're going to have it fixed up in no time."
"I hope so. Cass, I just want to say that I really appreciate your help. My in.... Rapunzel's parents would have tried to help, but with Arianna being a diabetic, and Fred being borderline, they wouldn't be able to do much."
"Let me guess, they were diagnosed after I left?"
"Yeah. So, let's see what's on T.V."
"O.K." As Cassandra sits down on the couch there's a loud clap of thunder that causes her to grab a hold of Eugene.
"Ahhhhh!" Eugene instinctively puts his arm around Cassandra, and, for some strange reason, Cassandra felt a since of security and comfort she hadn't felt before.
"Cass? You ok?"
"Nnno. Stormmms scccare me and whhhen I get sccared I st st st stutter. I'mmm s s sorry."
"It's ok. I've got you. I'm not going to let anything happen to you."
There's another clap of thunder which causes Cassandra to wrap herself tighter around Eugene, she starts shaking so Eugene drapes a blanket over her.
"Th th thank yyyou."
"You're welcome."
Eugene puts his arm back around Cassandra and she buries her head into his shoulder. A few minutes later she falls hard asleep.
"Well, looks like my shower is going to have to wait just a little bit."
An hour later Cassandra wakes up.
"Sorry. I must have fallen asleep."
"Nothing gets past you does it?"
Cassandra playfully punches him in the shoulder.
"Touchè. Smart-ass."
"Ow. That smarts."
"Is the laundry done?"
"Yeah, just finished."
"Then go get your shower while I fold your clothes. Then, I'm going to order you some dinner, and then, I'm going back to my room."
She hears another clap of thunder and decides to stay put.
"On second thought. I think I'll stay here for a while."
While Eugene is taking a shower Cassandra gets his laundry folded, lays him out some clean clothes to wear on his bed, and sits back down on his couch.
'I need to get started on those dishes.' she says to herself as she's flipping through the channels, trying to find something to watch on the television. She stops when she finds a football game. She didn't know much about football, but, it was better than nothing, and the players hitting each other took her mind off of the storms.
'damn. that dude got crushed. i don't know much about this game but, it's violent, and i like violent.'
When Eugene gets out of the shower he wraps himself in a towel and opens the door to let the steam out. When he does it gets Cassandra's attention and she looks in that direction. She turns and faces the television and then turns back to the bathroom and watches Eugene. She looked at his face and body and she could tell he was still tense and under a lot of stress. She wants to help, but she doesn't want to cross any lines or do anything inapproiate. She figures there's no harm in telling him he has clothes laid out to wear so she gets off the couch and slowly goes to the bathroom.
"Eugene?"
Eugene turns to her, seemingly comfortable with her standing there and him wearing nothing but a towel.
"Hey Cass. What is it?"
"I just wanted to let you know, that, I have you some clothes laid out on your bed, and I wanted to know what you wanted to eat."
"I'm not sure yet....tell you what, since I picked lunch, you can pick dinner."
"Ok. That seems fair. I'm just, going to go back into the living room."
"Ok." Eugene could tell Cassandra was uncomfortable seeing him like that, but, he wasn't showing anything, and, no one forced her to come and talk to him. He was sure she had seen guys shirtless before, and he was absolutley certain, she had seen a naked body before. Just, not a man's. Maybe that's what it was.
'Not sure what's wrong with her, but, it's not my problem.' He said to himself as he finished in the bathroom. Back in the living room Cassandra is chewing herself out.
'Stupid Cass. Stupid stupid stupid. What were you thinking? He would have most likeky asked where his clean clothes were, but you could have answered without looking at him. And now he probably thinks you're probably trying to start some shit. When that isn't the case at all.'
In his bedroom, Eugene is getting dressed.
'Cass sure is acting strange. Maybe she's genuinely concerned about me. Which, to be honest, would suprise me.'
After he gets dressed he goes into the living room to find Cass watching football.
"Hey."
"Hi."
Cassandra turns off the television and puts the remote on the coffee table.
"Cass....you ok?"
"No Eugene. I'm not. I put myself in an awkward situation earlier and there was no reason for it. What I had to tell you I could have told you without having to look at you. Ok, that sounded mean. I'm not saying that you're ugly to look at. Fuck....ok, that didn't come out at all like I hoped either. What I'm saying is, is that for all intents and purposes, I saw you naked. My behavior was inapproiate, I'm sorry."
"I'm sorry too. My behavior was also inapproiate. I should have been considerate of the fact that you were in my living room. I guess I'm still used to Rapunzel sitting on the couch waiting for me to sit down beside her so we could watch our favroite shows together."
"Isn't this the part where one of us uses food or something to change the subject?"
"Yeah, it is."
"It's just, when I looked at you, you looked so stressed and so tense, that I wanted to help, but I didn't want to do anything I didn't have the right to do. I may not like you very much, but I respect you, and I don't want to damage that."
"I understand. I just lost my wife, and you didn't want me to think you were trying to take advantge of me. I appreciate that."
"That's actually what I thought you were thinking. That I was trying to take advantage of you. There may have been a time when I would have, but, I've changed since then."
"I know. I can tell." There's a light rumble of thunder in the distance. "Hey, I think the rain has stopped."
"I think it has too. Thank you, for not making fun of me for being scared of storms. I know I'm too old."
"Nonsense. You can be too old for a lot of things, but you're never too old to be scared."
"What have you been scared of, besides Rapunzel dying?"
"Rapunzel dying, didn't scare me. I knew it was coming. How I was going to be afterward, scared me. And, at first, with me letting our house get in the shape it's in while she was in the hospital, and then, getting drunk after her funeral, I had good reasons to be scared. Then I made a phone call that, at first, I wish I hadn't have made."
Cassandra's cheeks turn red as her heart rate increases. She uses her finger to wipe away a tear that was running down her cheek.
"Like I said earlier, I care about you."
"No, you said you respected me."
"Oh, sorry. Slip of the tounge."
"It's ok. It happens."
Cassandra didn't want to admit it to herself, much less to Eugene, that, she was starting to develop feelings for him, which causes her to feel guilty. 'There's something wrong with me. I'm an evil person. I am a truly evil person. I need to leave before I complicate things further.' Cassandra gets up off of Eugene's couch picks up her purse and goes to leave. She has tears in her eyes.
"Eugene, I.... need to go."
"Is everything ok?"
"Yeah." She gives Eugene some money. "Here, this is for your dinner. Get you something good."
"Cass, why are you crying? Have I done something wrong?"
"No. I have. That's why I'm leaving."
"What did you do......" Cassandra cuts him off. "Goodnight Eugene. Don't look forward to seeing me again." Cassandra leaves Eugene's house, gets in her car, and speeds away. Eugene is stunned at what he just witnessed. "I don't undsrstand what just happened. We were actually starting to become friends." Eugene goes to go after her, but decides against it.
Chapter 5: Repressed feelings
Summary:
Eugene is visited by the ghost of Rapunzel who tells him that Cassandra is falling in love with him.
Chapter Text
After Cassandra leaves Eugene he sits down on his couch where he finds an unexpected visitor sitting beside him.
"She's scared, Eugene." Eugene turns to see Rapunzel, well, her ghost anyway, sitting beside him. "Rapunzel! How...are you here?!"
"That's not important. What is important is that a young woman is falling in love with you and she feels like an evil person for doing so."
"But, she never let on that she even liked me. At least, not at first. Why does she feel like an evil person? Is it because she caused you to cheat on me?"
"That wasn't all on her. I was just as involved in it as she was."
"What?!"
"We were young, drunk, and stupid. And even though I'm not in a firey torment, thinking about it still feels like Hell. So you can only imagine how she's feeling."
"But, I've already told her that I've forgiven her. I don't know what else to tell her?"
"Do you love her?"
"I mean, we were becoming good friends and all, but..."
"You can't help who you fall in love with. I mean, look at us, you weren't exactly a choir boy when we first met. But, look at yourself now and ask yourself, 'Where would I be if Rapunzel hadn't come into my life? Where would I be if I hadn't gotten a second chance?"
"What are you saying?"
"I'm saying: Go get her and tell her that if she leaves, she'll be making a huge mistake. Now go. She's almost back to her room, she's going to pack, and then she's going to leave, and when she's gone, she's gone for good."
Once Rapunzel gets done talking she disappers and Eugene leaves to go after Cassandra. He calls her to see where she's at.
(Ring ring) "Come on Cass. Pick up. Please pick up. (Ring... Hi I can't come to the phone right now, but leave a message and I'll get back to you as soon as I can.)
"Voice mail! Fuck!"
While Eugene is trying to get to Cassandra she is packing her suitcase, she looks at her phone and sees she has a missed call. She picks up her phone and clears it. "I'm sorry Eugene, but some of us don't deserve a second chance." Cassandra puts her phone and keys in her purse, picks up her suitcase and goes to the front desk to check out. As she does Eugene arrives at the motel and goes inside. When Cassandra turns to leave she sees Eugene standing in front of her. She is less than pleased to see him.
"Move. I told you you weren't going to see me again."
She side steps Eugene and leaves the motel but Eugene follows her and stops her as she gets to her car.
"Cassandra?!"
"WHAT EUGENE?! WHAT?!"
"I know you've developed feelings for me. I know you feel guilty about it, and I know why."
"Ok smart guy. Why?"
"Because of what happened between you and Rapunzel, you don't believe you deserve a second chance, even though you've been nothing but kind and compassionate, even when I behaved like an ass." Cassandra sits her purse and suitcase down on the ground and looks at Eugene.
"There's more to it than that. It's my fault."
"What? What's your fault?"
"Her getting cancer. It was punishment for me and her sleeping together, and so it's my fault she's dead. If we hadn't slept together, she'd still be alive. I... don't deserve to live. I seduced her. I should have died, not her."
Eugene gently puts his hands on Cassandra's shoulders and looks her in the eyes, but she turns her head away from him.
"Cassandra, if you only knew how much you sound like me right now."
Cassandra turns her head and faces Eugene. "What? What are you talking about?"
"After Rapunzel's funeral, I went home to pack a couple of bags because I was going to spend a couple of days with her parents, during that time I questioned her death. Told myself that if anyone should have went first, it should have been me, and I think, the reason it wasn't, is because a second chance would have been wasted. Cassandra, you've been given another chance, don't waste it."
"I've alredy checked out of my room. Where am I going to sleep?"
"What kind of question is that. You're coming with me. Come on. Let's go."
"What about my car? I can't just leave it here? And I don't want to be alone."
"Will take yours, leave mine to be towed. I'll get it out of the impound monday."
"Are you serious?"
"You seriously telling me that you would choose an '89 Civic over a '67 Chevy Impala?"
Eugene goes to get in Cassandra's car.
"You're really doing this? You're going to leave your car behind?"
"Yes. Now come on. Besides, cars that are impounded don't fair well, and it would kill me if something happened to your baby."
"Baby? I like that."
Cassandra stops to pick up dinner and then, drives Eugene home. Once they arrive they take in the food and drinks, sit them down on the cofffee table, sit down on the couch and Cassandra turns on the T.V. They go to eat but Eugene suddenly becomes nervous. He puts his food down on the table and starts to slowly rock back and forth, drawing Cassandra's concern. She turns to him and puts her hand on his shoulder.
"Eugene, what's wrong?" He's looking right at her but he's unresponsive. Cassandra claps her hands in front of Eugene's face and yells at him. "EUGENE!!"
"What? Sorry. I spaced out there for a minute."
"No shit. What the hell just happened?"
"I, I can still feel her presence." Eugene gets a lump in his throat and swallows. "It's like she's sitting right here beside me."
"You want to go eat in the kitchen?"
"No. I'll be fine."
"Are you sure? I mean, the back of your shoulders feel kinda tense."
"Would you rub them for me?"
"Uh.... ok..... turn to your side for me and remove your shirt. Do you have any massageing oil?"
"Yeah. It's in the bathroom."
Cassandra gets the oil and sits back down behind Eugene, he turns to his side so Cassandra can rub his shoulder blades. She applies the oil and begins giving Eugene a massage. His shoulder blade muscles are, a little tight.
"God damn Eugene! How long have you been like this?!"
"A couple of days. Ahhh, that feels good. Did you go to school for this?"
"I was a physical therapist, remember?"
"Ahhh, ow," Cassandra apologizes. "Sorry." "What do you mean was?"
"I didn't have enough days off. I quit so I could come down here and be with Rapunzel."
"Wow! I didn't know that. Are you going to look for a job while you're down here? Physical therapist make good money in, ahhh, Corona."
"There, feel better?"
Eugene puts his shirt back on.
"Much, thank you. But you didn't answer my question."
"I don't know. I hadn't planned on staying past the two weeks I told Rapunzel I would stay here."
Chapter 6: Kiss her.
Summary:
The ghost of Rapunzel tries to convince Eugene to move on with his life.
Chapter Text
"Hadn't planned? What happened? What changed?"
"You happened. I can't explain it, but you're right. I'm falling in love with you, even though I know the feeling isn't mutual."
"Cassandra, I'm sorry. I don't mean to hurt you, but..."
"I'm....going to go start washing dishes. When I get done..... do you mind if I borrow your shower?"
"What about your food?"
"Hand it to me and I'll put it in the frig. Maybe I'll feel like eating later."
"You know. I don't have much of an appetite either. Why don't I help you with the dishes?"
"I don't care. Whatever you want to do."
Eugene puts his food in the refrigerator by Cassandra's and they start working on the dishes, and aside from Cassandra asking Eugene to dry and put the dishes away they didn't say a word to each other. Once they were finished with the dishes Cassandra puts the dish towels in the washer while Eugene goes to his bedroom to get ready for bed. "Goodnight Cass. I'll see you in the morning."
"Sure." There was a heaviness in the house that could be felt by Eugene and Cassandra both, but there was nothing that could be done about it. All either one of them wanted to was go to sleep and put this day behind them. Cassandra gets in the shower and turns it on, she is almost finished when she slips and falls, hitting her head hard on the shower floor (Thump) waking Eugene up. "Cass? You ok?" Eugene puts his pants on and goes to check on Cassandra. His heart starts racing when he doesn't hear her answer. He tries to open the door but it's locked. "CASS! Door's locked. GREAT! CASS! I've got to get this door open!" Eugene goes to the kitchen and gets an ice pick to pick the lock with. Once inside the bathroom Eugene shuts the shower off, wraps Cassandra in a towel, takes her to the living room, and lays her on his couch. He lightly taps her face to get her to wake up.
"Come on Cassandra. Wake up." When tapping her face doesn't work he shakes her and she slowly opens her eyes and looks at him.
"Eugene? What happened?"
"Oh, thank God you're ok. You slipped and fell in the shower and hit your head, you're going to have the headache from hell here in a few minutes. I'm going to get you some ice, I'll be right back."
"Eugene, after you bring me my ice, could I, ahhh, you were right about that headache, have my clothes?"
"Yeah, no problem..... here's your ice. Now do you want your clothes, or do you want one of Rapunzel's gowns to wear?"
"Uh, one of Rapunzel's gowns. I don't think she'd mind."
"I don't think so either. It might be a little short on you, is that ok?"
"Yeah, I'll just sit with my legs crossed. I should be fine."
"Ok." Eugene goes to his bedroom to get a gown for Cassandra. While he's gone he's talking to himself. 'What the hell is wrong with me. I almost kissed her.'
"Why didn't you?"
'rapunzel, what are doing here?'
'to ask you why you didn't kiss her. is it because you think you would feel guilty? is it because you think, you wouldn't stop at kissing?"
'yes, and i know cassandra would too, and i don't want to put her through that.'
'awww. that's sweet. you both know you're using my death from cancer as an excuse right? it's hereditary. it had nothing to do with me and cassandra sleeping together.'
'i know. i guess i'm just scared of moving on.'
'scared of moving on? how do you think i felt?' if things don't work out between you and cass then you guys will still be friends, which, y'alls friendship has grown a lot since i died, but, i'm in the afterlife, my situation, is a little more permanent. so don't talk to me about being scared. i don't want to hear it.'
'so, what?, you want me to kiss her and see what happens?'
'yes. and if nothing happens, then, nothing happens.'
'but, what if something does happen?'
'wear a condom. now get a move on. bye.' Cassandra calls for Eugene from the living room.
"EUGENE? YOU OK?"
"Yeah, I'll be there in a minute." Eugene takes Cassandra a gown for her to put on.
"Here." He hands Cassandra her gown and turns his back so she can change. Cassandra changes, sits down on the couch and crosses her legs.
"Thank you. You can turn around now."
Eugene turns around and sits down on the couch beside Cassandra.
"Eugene?"
"Yeah."
"Could I ask you a question? What took you so long to get a night gown?"
"Not only, would you not believe me, you would probably slap me in the face, put on your clothes and storm out of my house."
Cassandra adjusts her gown, faces Eugene, and puts her arms in her lap.
"Try me?"
"Ok. Do you believe in hallucinations?"
"I've never had one myself, but yes I do."
"I just had one. And, it's a doozey. And remember, I haven't had a drink since you picked me up from the pub."
"What did you see?"
"Not what, who? I saw Rapunzel, and this isn't the first time it's happened."
"Did she talk to you?"
"I can't do this. Not to you."
"Eugene, your shaking. Just tell me what she said."
"I don't want to hurt you."
"She, asked me, why I didn't kiss you earlier after I got you out of the shower and onto the couch. She asked me if it was because I would feel guilty."
"What did you say?"
"I said it would. Because I'm afraid we'll cross a line, and I don't want to put you through that kind of guilt."
Cassandrs sighs and takes Eugene by the hand.
"You do realize what she did, right?"
"What?"
"You just told me you loved me. You may have not used those words, but you proved it by your actions. You just didn't realize it."
"I uh. I guess I did."
"Is that all she told you?"
"No, she told me to kiss you and see if anything happens, and if nothing happens, then nothing happens."
"What if, something does happen?"
"Huh, she told me to wear a condom. Problem is, I don't have any."
"You're right. You've been hallucinating, and I thought I hit my head hard. Come on, let's finish our dinner and watch some television." "Ok." Eugene gets his and Cassandra's dinner out of the recrigerator and brings it into the living room so they can eat and watch television.
Chapter 7: Reconciled
Summary:
Eugene is convinced by Cassandra's actions that him and her are reconciled.
Chapter Text
Cassandra and Eugene sit down on the couch with a cushion between them.
"So, Eugene, what do you want to watch?"
"I don't care. Whatever you want to watch."
"Ok." Cassandra flips through the channels until she stops on a sports channel and looks at Eugene.
"Football?"
"Sure, sounds good to me."
"You good. You need anything?"
"No. I'm good."
"Cool. Then let's watch some football. I don't know that much about it, but I like the hitting. It gets my blood pumping. So, who's playing?"
"The Corona College Eagles vs. The Saporia University Saints."
"Cool. If I have any questions about this game, would you mind answering them for me, even if my questions are stupid?"
"Hey, the only stupid question, is the one that's never asked."
"True. So, the guy who gets the ball and throws it, what's he called? And why is he called it?"
"He's the quarterback."
"Ok. Why is he called that?"
"Because, he's half-way between the center and the half-back." While watching the game with Eugene, Cassandra was absent mindedly scooting closer to him. When he noticed he raised his arm inviting her to scoot up beside him if she so chose, so she scooted under his arm, snuggled into him, and he put his arm around her. As the game went on Cassandra would ask questions and Eugene would answer them. After the game was over Eugene got up to get ready for bed.
"So, Cass, did you enjoy the game?"
"Yeah, it's a lot more fun now that I know what all is going on. Thank you, for answering my questions. I know it must have gotten annoying."
"No. Not at all." Eugene grabs a pillow out of a closet and throws it at Cassandra.
"Thanks, and I hope my laying on your chest didn't make you uncomfortable."
"No. Not at all. You looked like you needed held, and I've been there, so I didn't see any problem with it."
"Ok." Cassandra breathes a sigh of relief. "Well, goodnight Eugene."
"Goodnight Cass." Eugene goes to sleep in his bed while Cassandra goes to sleep on the couch. During the night, Eugene wakes up from a nightmare screaming Rapunzel's name.
"RAPUNZEL! RAPUNZEL! NOOOO!" Eugene's screaming wakes up Cassandra. "Eugene? Oh my God!" She runs into his room and turns on the light, Eugene is sitting straight up in his bed, pale, and in a cold sweat crying. Cassandra gets in his bed, and pulls him into a hug.
"Rapunzel. I'm sorry. I was supposed to take care of you."
"Eugene. Shhhh shhhh. It's ok. It wasn't anybody's fault. You did all you could do. If anyone should feel guilty, it's me. Ok? Hey, I know what will help you feel better."
"What?" Eugene asks with a quivering voice.
"I'll be right back."
Cassandra gets Eugene a towel and runs him a hot bath. She goes back to his room and gets him out of bed.
"Eugene, come on. I got you a towel and I've ran you a hot bath."
"Ok." Eugene goes into the bathroom, takes off his pants, and gets in the tub.
"She's a Godsend. I don't know what would have happened if she hadn't been here just now. She's bent over backwards to try and reconcile with me, and I think Rapunzel is right, it's time to move on. I think I'm going to ask her out. I don't give a fuck what my parents think. I wonder if she likes mountian climbing?"
Chapter 8: Gutcheck
Summary:
Cassandra and Eugene go to have sex when Eugene gets a phonecall that all but destroys what world he had left.
Chapter Text
After Eugene is done in the bathroom he puts on his pants and goes into the living room. Cassandra is sitting in the quiet. She has her legs up and folded on the couch.
"Hey Eugene, how you feeling?"
"Much better, thank you." Eugene looked at Cassandra in a way he never had before. The woman who had slept with his wife and almost destroyed their marriage was gone, and in her place was a repentant and benevolent woman, who was doing whatever she could to take care of him, and atone for her past.
"Eugene, why are you looking at me like that?"
"Sorry. I'm just amazed at how much you've changed since we saw each other last."
"Thank you. I appreciate your compliment."
"Look. I'm starting back to work Monday. So I was wondering if you would like to go out on a date tomorrow?"
"You want to take me, the person who almost wrecked your marriage, out on a date?"
"I'm not taking that person out. I don't see that person anymore when I look at you."
"You, you don't?" Cassandra replied. Suprised that Eugene would make such a statement.
"No. As a matter of fact I see the exact opposite." Eugene sits down by Cassandra. She's trembling and her heart rate increases as he takes her by her hand. "Cassandra, I don't know where I would be, if you hadn't have come back to Corona."
"What about your parents?"
"Cass, you know they're not in the best of health, they wouldn't have been able to do half the things you've done. And I thank you for that." There was a tension building between them, one that if they knew they done something about, there would be no turning back. Eugene bends down, gently puts his hand on Cassandra's face, and kisses her, she kisses back, puts her feet on the floor and pulls Eugene in front of her.
"Cass, what are you doing?"
'shhh, just relax.' (Ring Ring..Ring Ring)
"Cass, that's Stan."
"Then you better answer it."
Eugene picks up his phone and answers it.
"Eugene, it's Stan. You're in-laws were involved in a one vehicle accident. There car rolled over an embankment. They were killed instantly. I'm sorry, but we'll need you to come down to the morgue and I.D. the bodies." Eugene hangs up the phone and covers his mouth. Cassandra goes over to him.
"Eugene, what's wrong?"
"My inlaws.... were involved....in an accident. They didn't survive."
"Eugene. Oh my God! Ok. I'll get dressed and drive you down there."
After they get dressed. Cassandra drives Eugene to the hospital morgue so he can identify his inlaws bodies.
Chapter 9: Need a release
Summary:
Cassandra finally tells Eugene that his hallucinations and his muscles being tight are most likely from his body needing a release. He agrees, but can't bring himself to do it out of fear that he'll feel guilty.
Chapter Text
When Eugene gets to the hospital morgue, the blankets are taken off of the bodies laying on the slabs. When Eugene sees them he swallows a lump in his throat and Cassandra takes him by the hand.
"It's them" Those were the only words Eugene could get out as his eyes filled with tears. 'This can't be happeneing. The last thing I thought about them, is I didn't give a fuck what they thought. How could I be so fucking selfish.' He thought to himself as he looked at the bodies of his inlaws. He turns and looks at Cassandra. "Cassandra, what am I going to do?" He asked as tears rolled down his cheeks.
"No. What are WE going to do? I'm going to help you through this, ALL of this, ok?"
"Cass, I need to go home and plan their funerals."
"Eugene, WE need to plan thier funerals."
"Sorry. You helping me is still taking some getting used to."
"It's ok. Come on. Let's get you home." Cassandra takes Eugene by the hand and helps him to her car. During the drive home, Eugene reaches for Cassandra's hand, she gives it to him and he holds it. Once Cassandra gets Eugene home she helps him inside his house and sits him on his bed. He hasn't spoken since they left the morgue.
"Eugene, I know me and your inlaws never really got along, but I'm very sorry for your loss. I don't really know how to help you handle this, but I'll do the best I can. I'll be in the living room if you need me."
"When I decided that I wanted to go out with you, the last thing I thought about them was... I didn't, give a fuck what they thought. God took them away from me because of how I thought about them, just like he took Rapunzel away from me because I didn't think she was as sick as she was." Cassandra goes over to Eugene, sits down beside him and takes him by his hand.
"Eugene, look at me." Eugene ignores her. "EUGENE FITZHERBERT, LOOK AT ME!"
Eugene looks at her. "God took them, yes. But He didn't take them because of anything you thought, or did, Rapunzel had cancer that she inherited from mother, and your inlaws car crash, will probably be related to them being diabetic. I thought God took Rapunzel too, as punishment for what I did remember? But that's not what happened."
"I wish I could believe that. Good night Cass."
"Good night Eugene." Cassandra doesn't want to leave Eugene alone but she does. She goes to the living room and goes to bed on the couch. The emptiness in Eugene's bedroom and in his soul put a weight on him that he would try to bear on his own, but he would soon realize that he wouldn't be able to. He spends most of the night tossing and turning, he gets up and looks at his clock "1:15 I'm going to see if Cassandra will come lay down me.
He steps out of the bedroom and meets Cassandra who was getting up to use the bathroom. They stop and stare at each other. Cassandra had a look of sadness in her eyes that was directed at Eugene, he was broken and she knew that there was nothing she could do to fix him. All she could do was try and keep him from completely falling apart.
"Eugene, are you ok?"
"No, I'm not. I thought I could sleep alone but I can't. I'm sorry." Cassandra puts her hand on Eugene's shoulder.
"Eugene, it's ok. That's one of the reasons why I'm here. Just let me use the bathroom and I'll be in there." Cassandra goes to the bathroom while Eugene goes back to bed. After she gets out she goes to the living room and gets a spray bottle out of her purse. She sprays under her arms and inside her panties. "I... haven't slept with a man before, in any form, so I want to smell good if I sweat." After she sprays herself she goes into Eugene's bedroom. He's sitting on the side of his bed. "Hey Eugene."
"Hi Cass."
"What do you want me to do?"
"I just want to hold you. Hopefully I'll be able to go to sleep."
"Ok, how do you want me to lay?"
"On your side. If you're comfortable with that." Cassandra's nervous and heart rate is up, but she tries to hide it.
"Yeah sure. If that's what you want." She replies with a shakiness in her voice.
"Thank you."
"You're welcome."
Cassandra gets in bed beside Eugene, he puts his arm around her. She takes his hand, kisses it, and, holding his hand in hers, puts it on her stomach. "Is this what you wanted?" Cassandra asked in a caring voice.
"Yes. Thank you." Eugene replied. After a few minutes Cassandra becomes uncomfortable. "Eugene, I'm sorry, but I can't lay like that." She moves and lays on her back. Eugene is still on his side. "Would you like to lay on my shoulder instead?"
"Sure." Eugene moves over and lays on Cassandra's left breast and shoulder. He drapes his arm over her stomach while she wraps her left arm behind his back. She kisses his head and rubs his back and between his shoulders. "Goddamn it. He's went and let himself get tight again. The poor man needs a release, but it's not my place to give him one, or tell him he needs one. That's a decision he has to make on his own." She says to herself while she's rubbing his back.
"That feels good Cass, thank you. I'm sorry I let myself get tense again. I know what I need to do, I just don't want to feel guilty afterwards." Cassandra moves Eugene off and sits up in the bed.
"Eugene, unless you're watching porn, having impure thoughts, or looking at lewd pictures of women and/or men, it is not a sin to masturbate. You're not married anymore. God isn't going to punish you for masturbating. Ok?! Look. I know it wasn't my place to tell you you need a release, but you need a release, you'll feel better, trust me. Plus it isn't healthy for you to go a long time without one. How long has it been since your last orgasm?" Eugene sits up in his bed. "Since the last time I had sex with Rapunzel. Which would have been....over six months ago." Cassandra puts her head in her hands.
"Eugene, has it ever occured to you that this might be the part of the reason why you've been having hallucinations, or why you're so tense all the time? That maybe your subconcious mind trying to tell you that it's ok?"
"I haven't thought about it, but you're right. I guess I need to go and take care of this. I'll be back in a few minutes." Eugene goes into the bathroom, and pulls down his pants and underwear, he knows he needs a release, his body knows it needs a release, but he can't bring himself to do anything about it. After a few minutes Cassandra comes to check on him.
"Eugene, you ok? Can I come in?"
Eugene pulls up his pants and underwear and invites Cassandra in. "Yeah." She comes in to find Eugene standing in front of his bathroom mirror with his hands on his sink.
"I'm sorry. My body is ready, but I just can't do it."
"It's ok. Come to bed and you can hold me until you fall asleep."
Eugene goes to back to bed with Cassandra. She lays on her back as before so Eugene can lay on her breast and shoulder. She can feel how tense he is and it bothers her that he's seemingly still punishing himself for something he had no control over.
Chapter 10: Skeletons
Summary:
When Eugene drops a plate and it shatters, his reaction indicates that he had previously been abused
Chapter Text
It was almost dawn when Eugene woke up. When he opened his eyes he noticed that somehow during the night, Cassandra's had turned on her left side exposing her right breast. He looks at her and, unsure of what to do, shakes Cassandra awake and turns his back.
"Huh, what's wrong?" Cassandra looks at her chest and looks at Eugene while she covers up. "Eugene, how long have I been like this?"
"I don't know. I just woke up, and I wasn't sure what to do. So I woke you. I'm sorry I looked on you, it was an accident."
"Eugene, was I covered when you went to sleep?"
"Yeah."
"Then it must have happened when I turned on my side, and from the looks of it, I've slightly stretched the top of this gown. So, don't feel bad. You didn't do anything wrong. You're a gentleman Eugene, and I thank you for still treating me like a lady instead of the whore that I am. You can turn around now."
"You're not a whore, and don't you ever let anyone tell you otherwise. You're a lady who made terrible mistake, owned up to it, and who has since shown a complete change in conduct."
Cassandra gets a tear in her eye and Eugene takes his finger and wipes it away. They look at each other and they both get a feeling in the pits of thier stomachs. The tension between them that had been slowly building for days was now so present that it couldn't logically be ignored. They would be fools to say they didn't want to sleep together, and they both knew it. Maybe it was false guilt, but they ignored their urges and got out of bed to start their day.
"Eugene, would you like me to cook you some breakfast?"
"Yes please." Eugene answers as he pulls off his pants, Cassandra seemingly comfortable with seeing Eugene in only his underwear standing only a couple of feet away from her. She looks at his smooth muscular upper body and then takes a glance at his crotch and the feeling in her stomach that had just moments ago went away returned with a vengenance, gripping her like a dog would grip a bone as she feels herself get hot and wet between her legs. She hurries to the dryer, gets a change of clothes, and quickly goes into the bathroom to change. Eugene gives her a unseen confused look as she goes.
Once inside the bathroom she pulls off her gown and notices that her breasts were a little bigger and her nipples were hard. "Shit! What the fuck is wrong with me?" Cassandra asks herself. "I can't sleep with him, it just wouldn't be right. There's only one thing to do." Cassandra takes her hand and quickly rubs herself, moaning quietly as she relieves her built up tension. After she's finished she washes her hands, gets dressed, and joins Eugene in the kitchen as he is making coffee. She is wearing blue jeans and a t-shirt.
"You ok? Are you sick? Your cheeks are red." Eugene asks as Cassandra walks into the kitchen.
"No, I'm, fine. I just, pinched myself putting my bra on and it's a little embarrassing." Cassandra answered slow and methodically, as she tried to hide why she looked the way she looked while taking a frying pan and sitting it on the stove before getting the food out to cook breakfast.
"I'm sorry to hear that. You look nice by the way. Although I'm not sure that a shirt with an owl on it that asks 'How many licks does it take?,' is approiate to wear to a funeral home."
Cassandra responds with a dry laugh. "I'm going to change before we leave Fitzherbert. How many eggs do you want?"
"Uh, three. Over easy."
"What about bacon?"
"Two strips."
"Sausage patties?"
"Two." Eugene watches as Cassandra moves around the kitchen with ease, like a figure skater moves on ice.
"Do you want anything else, pancakes, white gravy, waffles, fried ham, biscuits? I can cook anything you want."
"No, thank you. Do you need any help?" Eugene asks trying to be polite, although by the looks of it Cassandra had everything well in hand.
"Yeah, you can set the table and pour our drinks for me."
"Ok." Eugene does as Cassandra instructs him but as he's getting plates down he drops one and it shatters on the floor. Cassandra turns and looks at him. He is pale and frozen with fear.
"Eugene? EUGENE?! SNAP OUT OF IT!" Cassandra yells. She snaps her fingers in front of Eugene's face finally getting him to come out of his stupor.
"I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'll clean it up, just, please, don't hurt me." Eugene goes to clean up his mess when Cassandra grabs him by the arm, when he turns to face her his chin is quivering and there are tears in his eyes.
"Eugene, hey! It was an accident. And besides, even if it wasn't, I still wouldn't hurt you. Given the circumstances I wouldn't even think you're crazy. Do you want to talk about it?"
"No, I'll be ok."
"Ok, you clean up the plate and I'll set the table."
"Ok."
While Eugene is cleaning up Cassandra sits the table.
"Something terrible must have happened to him when he was younger. Sounds like he's been abused. I know what that's like, I still have nightmares about it, I just never told anyone, not even Rapunzel. Maybe if I open up, he'll open up. Maybe that will help him feel better. But I should probably wait until after the funerals."
After Eugene cleans up and Cassandra sits the table they sit down to breakfast, outside of Eugene complimenting Cassandra on her cooking not much else is said. After breakfast Cassandra washes the dishes while a still shakey Eugene goes to his room to get ready. After he gets changed Cassandra grabs a dress shirt and quickly changes in the bathroom, the area between her legs still hot from seeing Eugene nearly naked earlier.
"Goddamn it why can't I just get over it? I'm not going to sleep with him now, or ever. There's more to a relationship than that."
Chapter 11: Finally
Summary:
After revealing a secret about her past to Eugene, Cassandra and Eugene have sex.
Chapter Text
After the funeral's are over Cassandra and Eugene decide to grab a bite to eat before going back to Eugene's house. They were nervous because they knew what was going to happen when they got back and they weren't going to try and stop it.
"Cassandra, I want to thank you for all of your help. I wouldn't be able to get through this without you."
"You're welcome. How's your burger?"
"It's good. And yours?"
"Fantastic, this bacon is killer. Sorry, I'm so sorry, bad time and a bad choice of words. God I'm such an idiot."
"Cass, it's ok." As they look at each other Cassandra subtlely moves her legs as she once again begins to feel heat and moisture build up between them. Eugene does the same as he can feel himself start to get hard to the point that he was afraid that it was going to be noticeable when they stood up to leave. On their way home their hearts are almost beating out of their chests, and the fact that every red light was catching them only made matters worse, and then it happened, Cassandra's brain turned on her at the worst possible time as it brought back memories of the night she was raped.
The night, the secret that she had kept to herself all of these years, a secret she knew she would have to reveal to Eugene before she laid with him, which she had told herself earlier she wouldn't do, but quickly realized she was lying to herself.
When they get home they look at each other before they get out of Cassandra's car and go inside Eugene's house. When they get inside, Cassandra sits on the couch and motions for Eugene to sit beside her.
"Eugene, I need to tell you something."
"What is it?" Eugene asked as he sat down beside her.
"I know what you want to do. I can see it in your eyes, I've seen it in your eyes for the past couple of days, and I want to do it to."
"But.....?"
"A couple of months ago I was at a bar in Saporia when this guy struck up a conversation with me, one thing led to another, he took me to his house and we started making out. He went to remove my bra, but when I told him to stop he didn't listen and he ripped off my bra, I got up to run but.....he....pushed me down to the ground, yanked down my panties, pinned my arms to the floor......and he raped me..... anally and vaginally. He didn't even pull out when he ejaculated."
"Oh God! Cass I'm so sorry! Did you go to the police?!"
"Yeah, but there are some people who's name means everything, and nothing was ever done about it. So if I start acting nervous, or if I tell you to stop, that's why."
"Ok. I would never do anything to hurt you. So, how do you want to do this?"
"Uh, I guess we'll start kissing and go from there, just, go slow."
"I will."
Eugene leans in, puts his hand on the left side of Cassandra's face and gently kisses her lips before pulling back. She leans in, kisses him, unbuttons his shirt and he slips it off. Cassandra then takes her hands and rubs them up and down Eugene's smooth hairless chest. While they continue to kiss Cassandra unbuttons the top two buttons of her dress shirt and Eugene begins to slowly kiss Cassandra's neck, causing her to moan quietly.
"Are you ok?" Eugene asks as he stops kissing Cassandra's neck to check on her.
"I'm fine. Keep going."
"Ok." When Eugene goes to kiss Cassandra's neck he gets excited and leaves a hickie.
"Oh fuck! Cass I'm sorry!"
"I'll put make-up over it. Keep going."
As Eugene begins to kiss Cassandra's collar bone she unbuttons her shirt and Eugene slowly makes his way to her breasts. Once her shirt is off she reaches behind her back,
undoes her bra and discards it onto the floor. She moans quietly as Eugene kissess her breasts and lightly sucks on her hard nipples before circiling them with his tounge. Cassandra moans pleasureably, her fears subsiding as her vagina gets hot and wet. As Eugene continues to kiss Cassandra's round firm b-cup breasts she lays down on her back and Eugene lays on top of her as she pulls down her pants and panties, stopping just below her vagina. Eugene runs his fingers over the narrow strip of pubic hair before he puts his fingers on the entrence of Cassandra's vagina and looks at her.
After getting a positive head shake in return Eugene takes the index and middle finger of his right hand and enters Cassandra's tight wet vagina, slowly moving his fingers back and forth. As Cassandra moans she moves her hands down to Eugene's pants and pushes them down along with his underwear, his erect penis now resting at the enterance of her vagina, she takes his cock and rubs the wet sticky tip up against her warm wet waiting folds, teasing him for a second. She whispers, "I want you to fuck me." before she slowly guides his erect penis inside her. Once Eugene is inside Cassandra he slowly thrusts his hips as him and Cassadra kiss passionately, their tounges are both in the other ones mouth as Cassandra takes her hands and carresses Eugene's tight firm butt, moaning with every thrust of his hips as they both kick off the remainder of their clothes.
"God! Eugene this feels so good, keep going, don't stop. Eugene, I'm cummimg."
She bites her lips and moans as her first orgasm rushes through her naked body, starting at her feet and stopping at the top of her head as she wraps her arms around Eugene's back. She was completely his, and he knew it, but he wasn't going to do anything unless she said she wanted to do it, if missionary was the only position she wanted to do, then that was fine with him, all he cared about was that she was pleased and happy.
"Eugene, i'm not rushing you, but when you get ready to cum, I want you to ejaculate on my belly and breasts. I'm not ready for you to cum inside me yet."
"Ok, whatever you need." Eugene said, nearing orgasm as he increased the thrusts of his hips.
"Cass, I'm going to cum." Eugene pulls his penis out of Cassandra's vagina and she fingers herself as she tilts her head up to watch him cum on her belly and breasts.
"Eugene! What a load! Shit! I'm cumming!" She excalimed as she fingered herself to another orgasm.
After Eugene finishes cumming he lays down on top of Cassandra smearing his semen all over his and Cassandra's chests, but neither one of them cared as they continued to kiss each other minutes after they had finished having sex. Once they are finished kissing they go to the bathroom and take a shower together as a sense of satisfaction and relief washed over them.
Chapter 12: Ripped apart
Summary:
While eating dinner, Cassandra and Eugene have to take cover from a tornado, which takes Eugene's house, and Cassandra with it.
Chapter Text
"Thank you." Cassandra said as she washed her breasts and underarms.
"For what?" Eugene replied as he washed his chest.
"For respecting my wishes and not cumming inside me."
"You're welcome. But I told you I would never do anything to hurt you, and I would never disrespect your wishes."
"I know, and I believed you, but I'm still thankful."
After they finished their shower Cassandra and Eugene quickly dried off and went to bed naked. Eugene got in bed and Cassandra laid beside him putting her left leg on top of his as she laid her head on his left shoulder and kissed his neck, lightly licking it and brushing her teeth against his smooth soft skin.
"You want to go again?" Eugene asked as he looked at Cassandra, his penis laying across his shaved groin, halfway between flaccid and erect.
"Not yet, maybe after we get some sleep and have supper. So when do you plan on going back to work?"
"Next monday."
"Ok, tomorrow I'm going to start looking for a job."
"You know with all the insurance money I'm getting, you don't have to worry looking for a job."
"I know, but I don't want to spend most of the day sitting on my butt doing nothing, and housework can only occupy so much of my time. Speaking of which, you know with both of us working that you're going to have to help out with the housework?"
"Of course, I just hope I don't mess up the laundry again."
"I think," Cassandra kisses Eugene on the lips and sticks her tounge in his mouth as he responds in kind. "you'll do fine. I have faith in you Eugene."
"Thank you."
"You're welcome."
Cassandra laid down on Eugene's upper body as he draped his left arm down her back. They were asleep in minutes.
The next thing Cassandra knew it was 8:00 in the evening and time to get up and get supper ready. She quietly got out of bed being careful not to wake up Eugene, who was still sound asleep.
'Poor man has been through Hell. I'm not going to wake him up until supper's ready. I don't feel like cooking though, so after I get dressed I'm going to look through the mail and see if there's any coupons, and then order a couple of pizzas.'
Before going into the living room to get dressed she takes a blanket and covers Eugene up. Once she's dressed she starts looking through the mail for coupons.
"Ok, let's see: Bill, bill, bill, just like the White House, one too many Bills, ok, bad joke Cass, ah here we go, pizza coupons, let's see: Two large two toppings, one large cheese bread. Here's one for a large, 'heart attack?' Beef, sausage, pepperoni, ham, bacon, good God! Heart attack is right! That one is defenitley off the list. Ahh, here we go, one large two topping pizza, one pasta, and a two liter soda, perfect, that's what I'm going to order."
After Cassandra places the delivery order she sits down on the couch, turns on the television, and begins to aimlessly flip through the channels.
"Baseball, Basketball, porn, lesbian porn, nice tits, gay porn, whoa, they both have nice cocks though, they're neither one as nice or big as Eugene's, but still nice, but how does he get his cock to go into that other dudes ass without hurting him? Hum, guess they use jelly or something. Uhhhhh, romance, fuck...that. I'd rather watch porn! Well shit, three hundred channels, and not a fucking thing on to watch. Hold on, let me try the local channels, the food will be here soon, and I want to find something for us to watch.
While Cassandra is still flipping through channels, Eugene wakes up and comes into the living room wearing nothing but a pair of underwear. His erection is clearly visible, the tip of his penis is pushing out the waistband of his underwear.
"Eugene, what are you doing up?" Cassandra asks, eyeing Eugene's erection.
"Nothing, I just woke up, and when I saw you were gone I got up to see what you were up to."
"I'm just watching T.V. and waiting on supper to get here."
"What are we getting?"
"Pizza, pasta, and a two liter soda. Are you going to get dressed or........."
Eugene looks down at his erection and covers himself with his hands.
"Oh, sorry. No, I'm going to use the bathroom and then get dressed."
"Ok." Cassandra goes back to flipping through channels while Eugene uses the bathroom and gets dressed. After he's dressed he sits down by Cassandra.
"Anything good on to watch?"
"No, but I did see something I'd never seen before."
"What's that?" Eugene asks curiously.
"Gay porn. Now I can understand how an erect penis can fit in a vagina, even a tight one, it's designed to hold a penis, but an anus, isn't meant to be stretched like that. It sounds painful even thinking about it."
"Yeah uh, it does." Cassandra notices that Eugene is suddenly sidetracked.
"Eugene, you ok?"
"No, we need to talk." Cassandra turned the television off and faced Eugene.
"Have I done something wrong?" Cassandra asked with concern.
"No, it's about last week when I broke that plate. I need to tell you why I reacted the way I did. To say I grew up in a dysfunctional household would be a huge understatement. My mom died when I was five. She was on her way to pick me up from school and she was in an accident with a semi-truck, she wasn't wearing a seatbelt and she hit her chest on the steering wheel hard enough that she crushed her sternum."
Cassandra placed her left hand on Eugene's right shoulder.
"Oh God! Eugene, I'm so sorry. But why did you breakdown when the plate broke?"
"After my mom died my dad started drinking, and it wasn't long before the abuse started, one day I was doing dishes and a plate slipped out of my hand, hit the floor, and shattered, my.... dad had a black leather belt with three rows of beads on it, he picked it up and the next thing I know my legs are covered in welps, child services got involved and I was sent to live with my grandparents, my dad was arrested and sentenced to twenty-five years in prison. He got out five years ago. I haven't talked to him since CS took me away from him."
"Do you have any idea where he is now?"
"No! And I want to keep it that way!" Eugene snapped and he knew he messed up, but Cassandra understood and was merciful.
"Cass, I'm sorry, you didn't deserve that."
"It's ok. It's understandable for you to be upset. Trust me, if I could get my hands around the neck of the prick who raped me, I'd kill him!"
"What about your parents? Whatever happened to them?"
Cassandra got a sad, distant look on her face as she answered.
"They uh, they cut off all contact with me after they found out about my affair with Rapunzel."
Eugene couldn't believe what he was hearing.
"They cut you off, completely?!"
"Yeah, but not before they told me that I was a whore who was going to burn in Hell forever."
"Wow! That's pretty self-righteous! So I'm assuming they've never done anything that would qualify them for eternal torment?"
Cassandra let out a snicker. "We all have, but some of us are too proud to realize it. My dad is the perfect example, he's smoked two packs of cigarettes everyday since he was thirteen, which damages his body, which is a sin, but I'm going to Hell because I had lesbian sex one time. Now what kind of sense does that make?!"
"What makes him think he isn't going to Hell?"
"Oh.....," Cassandra paused and readjusted herself before continuing. "he thinks he's good because he teaches a class at the worship center him and my mom attend, that is, even if they're even still going. I don't have a clue if they are or not."
"That's... I'm not even sure what to do with that."
"I know right? Sounds like we both have family we could do without seeing ever again?"
"Yeah....hey, car just stopped in front of the driveway."
"Must be the food delivery."
Cassandra got up and got some money out of her purse before going to the door. She opened the door and gave the delivery driver money for the food and told her to keep the change for the tip. The driver thanked Cassandra who then went back inside the house, closed the door behind her, and sat the food and drink down on the coffee table before getting a couple of plates, some napkins, and a couple of glasses. Eugene was going to ask her if she needed help but she was so fast he didn't have a chance to.
After pouring Eugene and her some soda to drink they opened their food boxes and began to eat, and since Cassandra couldn't find anything on to watch they decided to just talk while they ate. Cassandra wanted to know more about sports, specifically baseball.
"Eugene, who's your favroite pro baseball club?" Cassandra asked as Eugene picked up a slice of pizza and watched the toppings slide off.
"The Corona Cubs. Been a fan of theirs ever since I was a kid, but I've never been to a game." Eugene replied as he picked up the toppings with a fork and put them in his mouth.
"What is the main championship in baseball called anyway?"
"The World Series. Ohhh, toppings are hot!"
"You ok?"
"Yeah."
"Why is it called that?"
Eugene wiped his mouth before answering.
"I'm not sure, but I think people started calling it that in the early 1900's."
"Have the Cubs ever won the World Series?"
"Yep, a hundred and eight years ago. They're doing pretty good this year though, they've won their division which put them in the playoffs."
"Do the Cubs have a rival?"
"Yeah, the Saporia White Sox."
"Is it a fierce rivalry?"
"Oh Gods! One of the fiercest in baseball, if not the fiercest."
"This reminds me of the conversation we had about football, me asking a bunch of dumb questions and you patiently giving me the answers."
"Yep, and I'm going to tell you the same thing I told you last time, there's no such thing as a dumb or stupid question."
"Yeah, I know. Hey, you want to try some pasta? It's really good."
"Sure." Eugene took his fork, got a bite of pasta and ate it. "Wow, that is good!" He answered with food still in his mouth, it was something Cassansra didn't like, but given everything Eugene had been through, decided it wasn't worth bringing up.
"This is nice, just sitting here talking." Cassandra said as she looked at Eugene, her heart beating a couple of beats faster than normal as thunder rumbled in the distance.
Cassandra had a phobia when it came to storms, it wasn't the lighting that scared her as much as it was the thunder, the sound created by lightning, that she couldn't stand. She was hoping the thunder wouldn't get any closer, because the last thing she wanted was to be made fun of for being afraid of such a trivial thing as thunder, but it didn't happen and the thunder steadily grew closer, eventually rattling the windows as lightning flashed outside and rain pounded the roof.
Cassandra tried her best to hide her abnormal fear, but Eugene could tell something was wrong, he put down his pizza box and looked at Cassandra who was nervously eating her pasta, trying to ignore the fears that were welling up in her.
"Cass? You ok?"
"Yeah, why do you ask?" Cassandra replied nervously.
"Because, It's 75⁰ in here and you're shivering. Is something bothering you?"
Cassandra could tell by the tone of Eugene's voice that he had a good idea what was wrong, and that he wasn't going to make fun of her, but she was still embarrassed. All she wanted to do was crawl up into a ball somewhere dark and quiet until the storms had all blown over. But no such place existed. Cassandra put down her pasta and answered Eugene's question.
"I, have an abnormal fear of storms. I'm scared of thunder, have been ever since I was a little girl, and everytime I would get scared my parents would just tell me to grow up and get over it. Pretty dumb huh?"
"Hey, come here." Eugene straightened his left arm across the back of the couch and grabbed a blanket as Cassandra scooted under it, he then covered her with the blanket as she laid on his chest. Once she was laid down Eugene put his hand on her back and rubbed it, calming her nerves.
"Thank you for not making fun of me for this."
"Hey, everyone has a phobia, Astraphobia just happens to be yours."
"You mean it has a name?" Cassandra asked as she looked up at Eugene, relieved that that she at least had a name to go with her abnormal fear. "That actually brings me a little bit of relief. Thank you. So, do you have a phobia?"
"You mean besides being afraid that someone is going to hurt me for breaking something? No, I think that's it."
No sooner was Cassandra comfortable a high pitched sound pierced the air. Cassandra turned on the television and read the scroll across the bottom of the screen.
'Tornado Warning for all of Corona. Take shelter now, a large mile and a half wide tornado was confirmed to be on the ground ten miles outside of Corona moving east at 50 mph.
If you are in the path of this storm get underground now, if you do not it is highly unlikely that you will survive.'
Eugene and Cassandra looked at each other and knew they wouldn't survive, so they into his bedroom and calmly as possible got some pillows and blankets, covered themselves up in the bathtub, and waited for the inevitable.
The house started to shake as the large black monster began to unmercifully rip the town apart. Eugene and Cassandra quietly held onto each other, reserved to the fact that they would at least have each other during their final moments.
As the tornado went over the house the roof came off and began to suck Cassandra out, Eugene did his best to hold on to her but it was no use as the tornado ripped her out of his grasp. He watched in horror as she was sucked out of the roof and into the darkness, the next thing he knew something hit his head, knocking him unconcious.
Chapter 13: Bad dream
Summary:
After having the nightmare from Hell, Cassandra wakes up beside Eugene and finds him and everything else to be ok.
Chapter Text
Three hours after the tornado had went through Corona, Eugene was drifting in and out of conciousness, his head was pounding as voices he didn't recognize were talking above him.
"Be careful with his neck, make sure you keep it stable." One voice said. "Be careful when we slide the board under him, he could have a spinal or neck injury, one slip and he could be paralyzed." Said another.
Eugene was able to piece together that he had somehow survived the tornado, but he was too disoriented and in too much pain to do anything else.
Eugene was loaded into an ambulance where he was given medicine for pain, and to put him to sleep so he could be examined. Because of the heavy damage it received, Corona General couldn't receive patients which meant that the survivors of the tornado who couldn't be treated on sight had to be transported to surrounding hospitals.
Eugene was taken twenty-five miles northeast of Corona to Pincosta General Hospital where he was diagnosed with a severe concussion and a broken right leg, he is prepped for surgery and then taken to an operating room, after his successful surgery he is taken to a recovery room.
While all of this was going on, five miles east of Corona where the tornado dissipated, a woman is walking down a road disoriented, her clothes were shredded and she was covered from head to toe in scratches and bruises, she collapsed when she saw headlights coming towards her.
The driver of the car got out and checked on the woman before covering her up with her jacket, she called for help but the cell phone towers were down, she only had one choice, she picked up the now unconcious woman, put her in the back of her car and drove her to the nearest hospital, Pincosta General, the same hospital Eugene was taken to.
When the woman got to the hospital the place was packed, the ambulance bay was full, and there were medical tents scattered about the parking lot. It looked like a M.A.S.H. unit.
The woman looked in her back seat at the other woman who was still unconcious, but breathing, the fact that she was still alive, was a miracle.
'Hold on sweetheart. I'm going to get you inside.'
The woman got the other woman out of the car and started to carry her to the E.R. entrance when she was stopped by a doctor.
"Miss, I'm sorry, but our E.R. is already at full compacity. What's wrong with her?"
"I'm not sure, when I saw her she was walking down the road towards me then she passed out, I checked her for broken bones but couldn't find any, outside of some scratches and bruises, and being unconcious, I think she's ok."
"Ok, bring her with me, I'll put her in a tent where she can be examimed more closely. Do you have any idea who she is?"
"No. I'm afraid I don't."
"Are you injured?"
"No, I was on my way home when I heard about the tornado on the radio."
"Where do you live?"
"Here in Pincosta."
"May I have your name?"
"Josie Wales."
"Ok, bring her over here."
While Josie followed the doctor she couldn't help but notice that inside the tents there were more bodies covered than uncovered, it sent a chill down her spine, and that was nothing compared to Corona. The damage was apocalyptic, the downtown area, along with multiple housing districts were completely leveled, and in some places, only the foundations of houses were left, nearly one thousand people were killed, and thousands more were injured.
It would take years for Corona to rebuild, but that was the last thing on Eugene's mind as he silently laid awake in his bed, his brain replaying the events of Cassandra's death over and over, he could still hear her scream, and he could still see the look of horror in her eyes as the tornado sucked her into eternity, he pushed his nurse button so he could get some medicine to help him sleep. While Eugene was getting some medicine the woman who was found walking disoriented down the road is laid down inside a tent, as the doctor began to examine her she unexpectedly woke up and looked at her doctor and Josie.
"AHHHHHHH! EUGENE, WHERE'S EUGENE?!"
The doctor tried to gently restrain the panic stricken woman but she was combative. Josie had to help hold her still while her doctor sedated her to prevent her from hurting herself. After a few seconds the woman calmed down, was laid back down on her cot, and went to sleep. Once she was examined and her wounds treated a blanket was put up in front of her cot, she was then stripped of her clothes, save her underwear and covered with a gown and some blankets to keep her warm. Josie helped with the process. Normally, the woman would have been discharged, but given the circumstances under which she was found, she would need to be x-rayed to be absolutley sure she didn't have any broken bones.
Cassandra somehow miracliously survived her encounter with a tornado that had winds in excess of 200 miles per hour, but neither her or Eugene had any idea that the other one had survived.
Hours later, the E.R. slowly began to empty as the patients with only minor scratches and bruises were put up in local hotels until futher arraingements could be made. During this time Cassandra came to and sat up in her cot, and this time, she wasn't combative. Josie was standing beside her to give her any help she might have needed, but all Cassandra could think about was Eugene. She looked at Josie as she began to speak.
"Can.....can you please tell me where Eugene Fitzherbert is? I have to find him."
Josie was heartbroken, she didn't know who this man was, much less where he was. She slowly put her hand on Cassandra's shoulder as she answered.
"Honey.....I don't know where he is, but give me some time and I'll find out for you."
"Ok, but I'm going with you."
"Ma'am. All you have on is a gown, bra, and panties. I don't think it's a good idea for you to go outside pratically naked."
Cassandra was sitting up with her feet on the cold, wet asphalt when she responded to Josie's statement.
"Miss, while I appreciate your concern. I can wrap myself up in a blanket and go with you. Now help me up."
"Has anyone ever told you how stubborn you are?" Josie responded.
"No, never." Cassandra said sarcastically as Josie helped her up.
"So, what are you going to do about being barefoot?"
"Josie, I'm surrounded by dead bodies and people that are hurt worse than I am, I'll be fine. Now help me find my boyfriend or get out of my way."
Josie could tell that their was no reasoning with Cassandra, so she reluctantly helped her look for Eugene.
"How did you know my name?" Josie asked puzzled.
"I was concious enough to hear voices, but I couldn't wake completely up. Does that make any sense to you?"
"Yeah, I think it's some form of sleep paralysis, but I'm not for sure."
"Oh, My name is Cassandra, Cassandra Willaims."
"Cassandra, what is the last thing you remember doing?"
"I was eating dinner with Eugene, the next thing I know I'm half naked walking down a road, and now, I'm standing here talking to you, but judging by the looks of my surroundings, whatever memories I've lost, can stay lost."
"You do realize that when we get caught my ass is grass?"
"You let me worry about that."
Josie was right, about getting caught at least, because the next tent they came to had the doctor that examined Cassandra in it, him and a priest were standing over a dead body, Cassandra's heart sank.
"Doctor, please tell me that man isn't Eugene Fitzherbert."
"No. He isn't. Now what are you two doing here?!"
"Please! I have to find Eugene!"
"Josie, since she seems well enough to get up and get around, wrap her up in blankets and get her out of here so I can focus on my more serious patients!"
"Ok, I'm going to give you my address, her name, and my phone number, if this Eugene fellow is found, please call me."
The doctor took the note and put it in his pocket.
Cassandra fought back tears as she went with Josie back to her car.
"He's.....he's dead, isn't he?"
"Cassandra, I don't know, but let's just get you to my house, get you comfortable, and get you some food."
"I don't want food! And the only thing that will make me comfortable is Eugene's warm body next to mine!!"
Cassandra was still very upset as Josie drove them to her home.
"Cassandra, try to relax, I'm sure once things calm down you'll be able to find out where he is."
"I just.....I just know that's going to be in a morgue."
"Cassandra, if you survived this tornado, then there's a good chance he did too."
Cassandra's face turned white as the memories of what happened to her returned and assulted her already distressed brain.
"Josie, do you have a cigarette? Or some alcohol? Please, I need something for my nerves, before I have a panic attack."
"I don't allow smoking in my car, but in this case I'll make an exception, in my purse in the back seat is a pack of cigarettes and a lighter. Let me roll your window down before you light up."
"Thank you Josie. I honestly appreciate this. I'm sorry I've caused you so much trouble. I'll make it up to you, I promise."
It was just after daybreak, Cassandra was being driven to Josie's house smoking a cigarette when Eugene woke up in his room and called for his nurse.
"Sorry I took so long Eugene! What do you need!?"
"Could you tell me what's going on outside?" Eugene asked in a quiet, reserved tone.
"Honey, it is Hell out there right now! Our E.R. is full so we have tents set up to tend to the wounded, and on top of that one of the patients outside started running around looking for somebody."
"Who would be crazy enough to do that?"
"I don't know her name, but, she's a fiesty one from what I heard, she was found wondering down a road, by all accounts she should be dead, but all she has is some scratches and bruises, once she gets in here and gets a thorough examination she should be released and sent to a hotel."
"Do, do you know what she looks like?"
"About five and a half feet tall, muscular, with short black hair, why?"
"Who's her doctor?! Do you know where she is now!?" As Eugene asked these questions his heart rate increased as he tried to sit up in his bed, but his leg wouldn't let him.
"Hold on! You're not going anywhere! Not with your leg in the shape it's in! On top of that you have a concussion! Now stay put!"
"Nurse! Please! I'll sign a waiver! I'll promise not to sue if I injure myself further! But I need to know where she is, I have to get to her!"
"What is her name?"
"Cassandra Willaims! We were eating dinner when we heard the civil defence sirens activate. We took shelter in my bathroom. We were holding on to each other when the tornado pulled the roof off, and...and, I watched in horror as the tornado sucked her out. I thought for sure she was dead! Please, help me!"
"Eugene, I'll do what I can. But I want you to get some rest." Eugene reluctantly agreed.
After the nurse left Eugene's room she leaned up against the wall and rubbed her face and eyes with the palm of her right hand before going to the desk and asking for the names of the doctors who were working the parking lot, and where they were at.
One doctor, a Dr. Simpkins, was just getting ready to go to sleep in a spare cot when Eugene's nurse quickly approached him.
"DR. SIMPKINS! DID YOU TREAT A CASSANDRA WILLIAMS?! A EUGENE FITZHERBERT IS ASKING ABOUT HER!"
Dr. Simpkins reached into his pocket and handed the nurse a small piece of paper and she looked at it as he answered.
"Yes, she was treated for scratches and bruises and then I had the woman who brought her in take her home."
"Praise God! Ok. I'm going to call her and tell her the good news."
The nurse went back inside the hospital and dialed the number. It was a landline, she waited anxiously as the phone rang.
"Hello?"
"Oh Thank God you answered! My name is nurse Joy. I'm a nurse at Pincosta General. Do you have a Cassandra Willaims with you?"
"Yes, she's soaking in a bath right now. Does this have to do with the Eugene fellow she was asking about?"
"Yes! He's alive and awake! And he's asking for her. When she's able could you please bring her up here. Eugene will be on the first floor, when you get here just ask for the room number."
"Oh my God! Thank you so much! I'll tell her right away! Good bye!"
Josie quickly ran to the bathroom and knocked on the door.
"Yes?" Cassandra answered.
"Cassandra, I just got off the phone with the hospital...." Before Josie could finisg her scentence Cassandra had a towel wrapped around her and had the door open.
"Is he?" Cassandra asked her face lit up with anticipation.
"Yes! He's awake! And he's asking for you. Come on! I'll help you get dressed and then we'll head up there."
"Ok." Cassandra went back into Josie's bathroom put on her bra and panties and then Josie took her to her bedroom to get her some clothes. Once Cassandra is dressed her and Josie drive up to the hospital, Cassandra couldn't get there fast enough.
When they finally got o the hospital and got parked Cassandra got out of Josie's car and ran inside as fast as her sore tired legs could carry her. She got to the front desk and asked about Eugene.
"Eugene Fitzherbert's room please. My name is Cassandra Willaims. I'm his girlfriend!"
"He's in the last room on your left."
"Thank you!"
Cassandra was almost out of energy, when she finally got to Eugene's room he was awake.
"Cassandra?"
"Eugene!"
Cassandra, seeing that Eugene's right leg was in a cast, walked over to the left side of his bed. He pulled her towards him as they kissed passionately. He scooted over in his bed just enough for Cassandra to climb in. A nurse who was walking by saw them kissing, she closed the door and hung a 'knock before entering' sign on the door knob before quietly closing it. Cassandra and Eugene stop kissing long enough to say a few words to each other.
"Cass? Oh God I thought you were dead!"
"I thought you were too. I was so scared. I tried to find you, but the doctor who was taking care of me made me go home with the woman who found me. She was helping me bathe when her phone rang. Then she helped me get dressed and we drove up here. All I want to do is lay here beside you for the rest of the day."
"That's ok with me. Can we kiss some more now?"
"What about your leg? I don't want to hurt you."
"I should be fine, but if I feel any pain, I'll tell you to stop. Ok?"
"Ok."
"What's the name of the woman who helped you?"
"Josie Wales."
"Are you sure?"
"Sure I'm sure, why?"
"Because, she's dead. And so are you, and it's time for you to go to your permanent home."
Cassandra watched in horror, the ground cracked under her feet as black hands grabbed her legs and began to pull her down. She screamed for help but there was none to be found as Eugene turned into a horrid monster. She began to cry as the heat caused her body to contort. She let out a scream as the ground closed above her, the next thing she knew she woke up under Eugene's arm who was sleeping beside her as a light rain fell outside.
"EUGENE! GOD PLEASE WAKE UP!"
"HUH! Cass, what's wrong?" Eugene asked as Cassandra hugged him as tight as she possibly could. She looked up at him with tears in her eyes as she answered.
"I....I had the worst dream. I.....dreamed we were hit by a tornado and....I was sucked out of the roof, and we both thought the other one was dead, but then we were reunited, only for me to find out that you were a demon sent to drag me to Hell. I watched the ground close above me and then I woke up. Eugene hugged her back, kissed her, and tried to help her relax.
"Hey, it was just a bad dream. Probably brought on by the storms we had come through earlier. You wrapped yourself in your blanket, and fell hard asleep."
"So, there wasn't a tornado?" Cassandra asked as she slowly became more relieved.
"Yeah, but it was well north of here, wasn't on the ground for very long though, didn't even do any damage. Do bad storms always give you nightmares?"
"No, this was a first. Maybe next time I should order something else besides pasta. That probably didn't help matters any. What time is it anyway?"
"Four thirty in the morning."
"Fuck! I woke you up early, I'm sorry."
Eugene looked into Cassandra's big hazel eyes and their was no way possible for him to be upset with her. He gently cupped her face to help calm her nerves.
"Hey, it's ok. I'm here for you, day or night. Now, since we're both up, why don't we go and get some breakfast, there's a pancake house not to far from here."
"Ok, that sounds good, do I have time to take a shower?"
"Sure, they have pancakes twenty-four seven."
"Thank you Eugene."
"No problem, take all the time you need."
While Cassandra was taking her shower, Eugene took Twister out of his DVD player and put it in it's box before going to his bedroom and getting ready for the day.
Chapter 14: Phobias
Summary:
After waking up from her horrible nightmare, Eugene pitches the idea of going out for breakfast and Cassandra agrees. Which leads to a verbal confrontation with a waitress. On their way home Cassandra's memories of her nightmare are again triggered. She snaps at Eugene when he asks about her. They hurt each other, causing Cassandra to decide to leave.
Chapter Text
After Eugene got dressed he got the urge to use the bathroom, but there was only one toilet and Cassandra was in the shower, and the last thing he wanted to do was gross her out. So he decided to hold it, surely she wouldn't really take ALL the time she needed. Thirty minutes later Cassandra turned off the shower when she heard a knock on the door.
"Eugene, what's wrong?"
"Cass, I hate to bother you, but I really need to pee."
"Did you forget how?" Cassandra asked sarcastically.
"Very funny. No, I haven't, but there's only the one toilet, and you're taking a shower."
"Eugene, it's a normal bodily function, if we're going to be living together, then things like this are bound to happen, but if it makes you uncomfortable give me a minute to wrap a towel around myself. Then I'll step out so you can pee."
Cassandra talked to herself as she dried off.
'That shower really done the trick. I feel so much better now. I don't deserve someone like Eugene, espically after what I did to him, but I've paid the price. Found out what is was like to be used and hurt. Now I get to start over.'
After Cassandra dried off she stepped out of the bathroom so Eugene could use it.
"Here you go. How long have you been waiting?"
"Thanks Cass. Thirty minutes." Eugene replied relieved.
"Thirt....." Eugene quickly went inside the bathroom and shut the door, cutting Cassandra off. "Thirty minutes." She said with a sigh. "That better be the last time he does that. Doesn't he know he can hurt himself doing that? I know he's trying to be polite, but if it can't be helped then I'll deal with it. We've had sex. We've showered together, slept naked together. I don't think him using the bathroom while I'm taking a shower is going to bother me. Oh well. I'll talk to him about it later. Right now I need to get dressed. I'm going to be looking for a job later this morning, but it's too early to dress nice. That's ok. We can always come back so I can change. I wonder if he'll want to go with me, I'll talk to him about it on the way."
After Eugene finished using the bathroom Cassandra got dressed and they went to breakfast as a steadier rain began to fall. While Cassandra was driving, they engaged in conversation.
"Cass, are you sure you're ok?"
"Yes Eugene, but if you keep asking me about it I'm going to start thinking about it again and then I won't be." Cassandra didn't intend on sounding mean or rude, but she wanted to forget about the nightmare she had as quickly as possible.
"I'm sorry. I'm just concerned about you. I love you."
"I love you too Eugene, and I didn't mean to come off as rude, but I just want to forget it ever happened. That was the most horrid and vivid dream I've ever had in my life, and it was about a tornado no less. Funny thing is, I've always wanted to see one in person. Does that sound odd to you?"
"No, not really. Oh, you'll need to turn left at the light, then it'll be on your left by a gas station."
"Ok."
As they walked inside Cassandra took a deep breath as she enjoyed the smell of fresh pancakes, waffles and various other breakfast items. Cassandra and Eugene were looking over their menus when Cassandra recognized one of the waitresses bussing a table off to her left. Cassandra stared at the woman trying to figure out where she could have possibly known her from, then it hit her, it was Josie, the woman in her dream, the woman who was dead.
Cassandra excused herself as her stomach turned itself into knots.
"Eugene, I'll be right back. I need to wash my face. If our waiter/waitress comes by, I want an orange juice and ice water, and if you're ready to order I'll take the number three, as it comes."
Cassandra went into the woman's bathroom, found an open stall, and proceeded to throw up in the toilet as quietly as she possible could. After she was finished she wiped her mouth off with some tissue paper and discarded it into the toilet, then left the stall as the toilet automatically flushed behind her. When Cassandra got to the sink to wash her face and hands the woman who resembled the woman in her dream came into the bathroom to wash her hands as well, drawing a look from Cassandra.
"Excuse me?" The woman snapped. "But have I done something to offend or upset you?"
Cassandra wiped her face and turned around to face the woman.
"I'm very sorry for doing that. I had a long night that was capped off by a horrid nightmare that I've been trying really hard to forget about."
"I'm sorry to hear that. Nightmares are horrible, but that still doesn't explain the look I just got from you."
As the memories of her dream came back to her, Cassandra quickly became upset.
"I'm sorry. I don't know how to explain this without sounding crazy, but you were in my dream, and I've never seen you before until tonight."
"Whoa! That is fucked up! Sorry. That was rude of me. Hey, I get off work at noon, and I'm intrested in hearing more about this dream, if you're comfortable about talking more about it."
"Ok. I think talking about it will help me get over it faster, where would you like to meet?"
"There's this bar at the end of the street, meet me there at twelve thirty. I'll be in the first booth on your right."
"Ok, I'll see you there, and again, I've very sorry for being so rude to you."
"Hey, try not to worry too much about it."
"I won't."
After they finished talking Cassandra went back to her table while the waitress went back to busing tables.
"You ok?" Eugene asked as Cassandra sat down with a shudder. Their orange juice and water had already been brought to them.
"I will be. You see that woman over there cleaning tables?" Cassandra asked as she tilted her head to her left. Eugene looked to his right answered and asked, "Yeah, what about her?"
"She was the woman in my dream who found me."
"Did you get her name?"
"No, believe or not I didn't even think about it, but I'm meeting her at a bar after she gets off work at noon to talk more about it."
"Cool, let me know what you two find out."
"I was actually hoping you would go with me when I go job hunting. Oh, what about your car?"
"I'll eat it and just buy another one, although I'm not going to lie, I really like Baby."
"Yeah, you don't have a chance in Hell of ever driving Baby. Oh, food's here."
The waitress gave Cassamdra and Eugene their food and they talked as they began to eat.
"So, what kind of job do you want if you can't find a therapist job open?" Eugene asked as he peppered his over easy eggs.
"Probably something in the nursing field. On top of being a licensed therapist I'm also an L.P.N." Cassandra answered as she put butter and syrup on her pancakes and waffles.
"L.P.N.? Wow, didn't know that. You don't eat hasbrowns?"
"No, but I know how much you like them so I got them for you."
"Awww Cass, you shouldn't have...., but I'll take them anyway."
Eugene picked up Cassandra's hashbrowns and happily put them on his plate while she smiled and laughed lightly, and as she looked at him something crossed her mind, she actually thought of getting pregnant by this man, a huge commitment that she wasn't sure she was ready for yet.
'eugene, lean in close. i need to whisper a question to you.'
'what is it?' Eugene whispered as he leaned in close to Cassandra like she asked.
'while we're out today, we need to go by a drug store and buy some condoms, if that's ok with you."
'yeah, it's ok with me. we can get them after you're done talking to that girl who wants to hear more about your dream.'
'ok, thank you.'
'no problem. hey, you want some coffee?'
'yeah, but, why are we still this close to each other?'
'I don't know. Do you object to a little, P.D.A.?'
'Of course not. What's P.D.A.?'
'That means you're going to kiss me in public.'
'Oh, ok.' Eugene leaned in closer to Cassandra and she moaned quietlt as they kissed on the lips.
'I think we need to go and by those condoms before we go home.' Cassandra said with an increased heart rate.
'You want to skip the coffee?' Eugene asked after him and Cassandra had sat back in their seats.
'Yes. I want to skip the coffee.'
After Cassandra pays the check, Eugene and her head to a twenty four hour drug store, on the way Cassandra's memory is triggered when she stops at an intersection.
"Cass, you ok? You shuddered again."
"Wow. I didn't notice. Thank you for pointing that out to me." She immediately knew she messed up when she saw a hurt look come over Eugene's face.
"Eugene, I'm sorry. I think we just need to go home. Maybe I'll feel better after I get some rest." Not only was Cassandra's memory about her nightmare triggered, she was very embarrassed about what that trigger was. On top of having a fear of storms she now had an irrational fear of sirens, which triggered another fear, the fear of losing Eugene, because Cassandra had already convinced herself that she was going to lose him because of the way she talked to him when he asked her if she was ok.
"You're right. And I accept your apology." Cassandra's fears were furthered when, after the traffic light turned green, she went to grab Eugene's hand and he pulled it away from her. When they got home they went inside without saying a word to each other. Eugene went to his bedroom to get ready for bed, he was standing naked in his bedroom putting on his pajamas when Cassandra unexpectedly came in and started gathering her clothes.
"Cass, what are you doing?"
"I'm leaving! This isn't going to work out! I made a mistake, apologized for it, and that still wasn't good enough for you, and this after I left everything behind and stepped out on a VERY, fragile limb to help you get back on your feet."
Eugene realized very quickly that, one: he was a jerk for not letting Cassandra hold his hand when he knew she needed him, and two: he was very much in love with her, so much so that he wanted to spend the rest of his life with her, and was about to all go away, for good.
"Cass wait! I'm sorry I hurt you. I thought that since you hurt me that I could hurt you back, and you're right, a relationship like that, won't work. I honestly don't know what came over me, but you don't deserve to be treated like that, and I don't deserve to have a woman like you in my life. I guess Rapunzel's death has messed me up more than I thought."
"NO SIR! NO!" Cassandra said angrily. "YOU DON'T GET TO USE HER DEATH AS A CRUTCH FOR YOUR BEHAVIOR, AND I DON'T EITHER! THAT IS VERY DISRESPECTFUL TO HER!"
Eugene knew Cassandra was right, and she had every right to leave. He had nothing to say as he sat on the side of his bed in silence.
After Cassandra finished packing her suitcase she went to her car, put her suitcase in her trunk and got ready to leave when suddenly stopped dead in her tracks.
'Cass, think about this, before you go any further, now, he had no excuse to pull his hand away from you, but you had no excuse to jump him the way you did. Now why don't you both chalk this up to stress and start over? I mean, he apologized as well, and if you're not an advocate for playing 'tit for tat', then get your suitcase, go back inside, and sleep beside the man you know you want to spend the rest of your life with.'
Cassandra couldn't tell if the voice in her head was hers, or Rapunzel's, but it didn't matter she took her suitcase out of her trunk and went back inside the house, when she got to Eugene's bedroom she found him in his bed on his side crying quietly, she quickly got in bed, startling him.
"Cass?! But I thought......?"
"Hey, it's ok." Cassandra said as she put her right index finger on his lips.
"Let's just lay down together and rest. I'll even put off looking for a job until tomorrow."
They contiinued talking as Eugene held her as tight as he could without hurting her.
"Cass, I'm sorry for being a jerk."
"And I'm sorry for jumping you. I never meant to hurt you."
"I never meant to hurt you either."
After they apologized they kissed and held each other tight as they both drifted off to sleep.
Chapter 15: Dream girl
Summary:
After having another nightmare Cassandra leaves Eugene's house to go buy condoms when she again runs into the girl from her dream.
Chapter Text
A couple of hours after she went to sleep Cassandra had another nightmare similair to the one she had had the night before. She woke up screaming for Eugene, who was again, sound asleep beside her.
"EUGENE! EUGENE! HELP ME! HELP ME!"
Eugene woke up and pulled Cassandra into his bare chest as she wrapped her arms around him.
"Eugene, I'm afraid! I'm afraid I'm going to die!"
"Hey, look me." Cassandra looked at Eugene the same way she had looked at him the night before. "You're not going to die, ok? I'm not going to let anything happen to you."
Eugene hugged Cassandra and kissed her on the top of her head as her breathing returned to normal.
"And to think I was going to leave. I would have had another terrible dream and I wouldn't have had anyone to turn to. Thank you, for being so understanding. I think I'm ready to go and buy those condoms now. Do uh, do they come in an extra large size?" Cassandra asked as she eyed Eugene's erection.
"Yes, they come in an extra large size." Eugene responded dryly.
"I'll get dressed and go buy a box, I should be back in about half an hour."
"Ok, I'll be here when you get back. What are you going to tell the cashier if he or she asks you why your buying condoms?"
"I'm going to tell them that you didn't want to embarrass the other guys while they looked for the small, to medium size boxes."
Eugene laughed as he propped himself up on his left arm.
"Cass, that's mean. Funny, but mean."
Cassandra drove a couple blocks until she came to a drug store. When she went inside she saw the woman from her dream looking for some feminine hygine products.
"Hi."
"Hi."
"I thought your shift didn't end until twelve?"
"I uh, I got fired, and now, I'm going to lose my apartment."
"Oh God! I'm so sorry to hear that."
"You should be. It was our verbal spat that caused it. A customer heard us and complained to my manager. It wasn't five minutes later I was out of a job. Name's Samatha, by the way."
"I'm Cassandra Williams. Hey, since I'm the one responsible for you losing your job, the least I can do is help you keep your apartment."
"Don't. I was already three months behind, and there's not anything in there worth keeping anyway."
"Well at least let me buy you some breakfast, better yet, come with me to my boyfriends house and I'll cook you some breakfast, and then tomorrow we can go job hunting together."
"Whoa, pump the breaks there hot rod. I can see you're serious about wanting to help me, and I appreciate it, but let's take this one step at a time. So, what brings you here?"
"I'm actually buying condoms for my boyfriend."
"Ok, why isn't he buying them, is he uh, embarrassed?"
"No. For your information I'm actually here to buy some extra large ones. I just hope they don't break."
"Can't help you there. I've never used condoms. I always got creampied or got a cumshot."
Cassandra's face turned red from embarrassment.
"Sorry. T.M.I."
"It's ok. So, you ready to go?"
"I still have to buy some tampons and stuff."
"Don't worry about that. We're the same height and about the same build. I've got extra tampons and stuff you can use that should do the trick."
"Hold on. Won't your boyfriend be upset when he sees he has unexpected company."
"You're right. I should call him and tell him what's going on."
Cassandra got out her phone and called Eugene but didn't get an answer.
"He's not answering, he must still be asleep. Come on, I'll take you to his house, we'll just have to be quiet when we go inside so we don't wake him up."
"Hey, if he's still asleep, why don't you just get me a breakfast sandwich or something?"
"Ok, we can do that."
After she stopped at a fastfood joint to get Samantha a sandwich and some orange juice, Cassandra and her got to Eugene's house where Cassandra had some informarion Samantha needed to know.
"Ok, before we go in, this place only has one bathroom and one bedroom so you'll be crashing on the couch, Eugene and I go to bed at around nine o'clock. Now you don't have to, but if you decide to stay up, keep quiet, if you have to rub one out, do it in the bathroom and do your best to keep your voice down, neither Eugene or myself want to hear you cum. I try to have breakfast ready at around seven. Do you have any food, or any other kind of allergies I need to know about?"
"Uhhhhh, no. No allergies."
"Ok, let's go. And remember, be quiet."
"Does your boyfriend work nights?"
"No. He's a sergeant with the Corona police department, but he's on leave right now. He lost his wife recently, and then his inlaws were killed in a single car rollover crash not long after. I moved back here from Pincosta to help him get back on his feet after his wife died, and it's been rough ever since."
"I'm sorry to hear that. What's your boyfriends name anyway?"
"Eugene Fitzherbert."
Samantha's eyes widened as her tone and mood turned more serious.
"Oh, uh..... did he see me earlier this morning?"
"Yeah, should he have recognized you?"
"I'm not sure. I was caught in a drug raid at a party last year and he was the cop who arrested me. I didn't have any drugs on me, or in my system, but it didn't matter, I had violated the morality clause of the job I had and they fired me."
"What was your job? If you don't mind me asking."
"I was a Minister of Music at St. Paul's Lutheran Church on Finch Street. After I was let go it took so long for me to find a job that I got behind on my rent, I couldn't get a loan, and I didn't have any family to turn to. I then got fired from that job, and, here we are."
"I'm beginning to think it's no accident that I ran into you, come on, let's go inside. I'll make us some coffee and explain what I mean."
After Cassandra and Samantha quietly went inside Eugene's house they went into the kitchen. Samantha had a seat at the table while Cassandra put a pot of coffee on to brew before taking a seat across from Samantha.
"So, why do you think our meeting is no accident?" Samantha asked curiously as she crossed her legs and folded her arms under her breasts.
"My......boyfriend believes that the ghost of his wife has been visiting him. He even says he's seen her and talked to her."
"Sounds like a bad case of hallucinations. What was his wife's name?"
"Rapunzel Der Sonne."
"I......I remember her, she used to volunteer at the soup kitchen at the church I used to work at."
"Yeah, I don't think that's a coincidence. I think we met because she wants me to help you."
"She did like helping people, and she was always very chartible."
About the time the coffee got done Eugene came into the kitchen wearing pajamas and no shirt. Samantha couldn't help but look him up and down, Cassandra didn't notice as she was looking at him as well.
"Oh." He said half awake before he yawned and rubbed his scruffy hair.
"I didn't know we had company. Let me go put a shirt on real quick." Eugene went to his room and put on a red T-shirt before returning to the kitchen.
"Eugene, this is Samantha, our waitress from this morning." Eugene looked at her for a second when he realized he knew who she was.
"Hey Sam. How's it going?"
"Not good. I lost my job this morning as a result of the verbal spat I had with Cassandra. And she thinks the ghost of your wife made sure we would meet so Cassandra could help me like Rapunzel used to help people. Cass, do you think Rapunzel's ghost caused you to have a dream with me in it?"
"It's possible, but it still doesn't explain how it ended." Cassandra answered as she gave Sam and Eugene each a cup of coffee before pouring herself one and taking a sip as she leaned back on the counter.
"How did it end?" Samantha asked. Cassandra swallowed hard before she answered through shuddered breathes.
"The ground opened up underneath me and I was dragged down alive into a firey Hell."
"Like the movie?"
"Yeah, exactly like the movie. Now if it's ok with you two I would like for us to change the subject to helping Sam find work and getting her back on her feet."
Chapter 16: Friends
Summary:
Cassandra Eugene and Samantha spend the morning together talking. Cassandra tells Samantha why she's putting off job hunting for a day.
Chapter Text
"Sam, what other experience do you have besides music?" Cassandra asked as she put her coffee cup in the sink.
"Music is all I know, it's all I've ever done. But there isn't a big need for musicians, which is why I had such a hard time finding a job."
"You don't have any experience with computers, or designing, or any forms of art?"
"I had a few ballet classes while I was younger, but that's pretty much it, oh, and I write fanfiction in my spare time."
"Who do you write for?' Eugene asked as he finished his coffee.
"Eugene, that's not important!' Cassandra chided.
"I was just curious."
Cassandra sighed. "Fine, who do you write for?"
"Frozen. I'm working on a fic set between the first and second movie where Anna and Elsa find out that the trolls put a spell on Hans which made him act the way he did, but I don't have a title yet, and I'm doing one for Tangled."
Cassandra and Eugene look at each other.
"Sorry. I've heard of Frozen, but I've never heard of Tangled. Eugene?"
"I've seen it a couple of times, but I didn't like it very much, now the series, the series is awesome! That final episode though, if you aren't crying by the time it's over, you might want to check and see if you have a pulse. I find it odd though that the characters have the same names as us." Eugene replied as he pointed at Cassandra and himself.
"That happens Eugene, that's why they have the disclaimer about the names being the same as actual people living or dead is purely coincidental."
"Oh yeah......"
"GUYS!" Samantha interjected. "Job, remember?"
Cassandra apologized. "Sorry. Job. Samantha, I hate to say it, but you're in bad shape. I really don't know what to do for you."
"I do!" Eugene interjected. "Stan has a band that performs on the weekends. They've been needing an electric guitar player for a while now."
"Eugene, she needs a job, not a pastime." Cassandra realized that she needed to relax.
"Eugene, I'm sorry. You were only trying to help."
"No, Cassandra's right. I guess I'll go back to waiting tables."
"Now wait, hold on. Let's go job hunting tomorrow and see what we can find. You might just get lucky." Cassandra said this in hopes of giving Samantha some encouragement, she had no clue just how true her words would turn out to be.
"Well guys, what are we going to do now?" Samantha asked as she played with her shoulder length straight brunettte hair while looking at Eugene.
"I don't know." Cassandra replied with an aggravted tone, noticing how Samantha was looking at Eugene. "But if I catch you looking at Eugene that way again, you're out on your ass!"
"I'm sorry. I mean no harm. I'm not going to try anything. He's just really hard not to look at." Cassandra could tell Sam was serious and took a seat at the kitchen table.
"Guys. I'm sorry so jumpy. I need to find work, but I told Eugene I would wait."
"What happened?" Sam asked curiously.
"Oh God this is embarrassing. I'm twenty-five years old. This shouldn't be happening. Ok. We were on our way home when I stopped at an intersection. I looked out my window and I saw something that triggered the memories of my nightmare, a siren."
"A siren?" Samantha asked intently after drinking the last of her coffee. "What kind? What did it look like?"
"What do you mean what kind? They're all the same. And as long as we don't have any tornados, I don't have to worry about hearing them."
"Uh, Cass, they serve other purposes than just warning for tornados.
Few examples are: Air raids, tsunamis, volcaninc eruptions, nuclear meltdowns, chemical spills or explosions and even curfews, oh, and they get tested too."
"Wow! That's some alarm clock. Can't say you didn't hear it." Eugene joked.
"Great." Cassandra said with a sigh.
"But, it's just a sound. It can't hurt you, unless you're standing to close to one when it goes off."
"So, how do I get over my fear of them?"
"I don't know. Maybe go to Wikipedia and read up on them, their history. You can get a whole lot more detail than what I just gave you."
"It uh, it looked like someone took a toilet and lifted the back of it all the way up."
"Oh, I know the one you're talking about. People who comment on the Youtube videos about them say they look like a toilet."
"Youtube? You mean people record those things and and upload the videos to Youtube?" Cassandra asked in a skeptical tone.
"No, because I have every reason in the world to lie to the person who for all intents and purposes, took me in off the street."
"Ok. Sorry. It just seems odd to me that people would enjoy doing that, but, to each his own. Anyway, how are we going to kill some time. Eugene, you have any ideas?"
"I've got board games, or we could play poker."
"Sam, you play poker?"
"I did while I was in college, but not for long, the only poker I played was strip, and my friends got tired of seeing everyone's stuff but mine."
"Yeah, I'm not comfortable with taking my clothes off in front of a complete stranger." Cassandra replied.
"Ok, then I'll bring out the board games."
While Eugene goes to get the board games Cassandra and Samantha have a brief conversation.
"Youtube. Next thing I know you're going to tell me that they have names."
"Uh, they do, actually."
"Good God woman! Are you obsessed or something?!"
Eugene returned before Samantha had a chance to answer.
"Ok we got Monopoly, Trouble, checkers, and chess. Which game do you guys want to play first?" Eugene asks enthusisaticlly.
"Monopoly." Cassandra answers as she stretches, exposing part of her flat stomach and drawing an involuntary glacnce from Samantha.
"Samantha, do you know how to play Monopoly?"
"No, but I'm a fast learner, just give me a few minutes with the instructions and I'll have it down pat."
After spending a few minutes reading the instructions, Samantha has the basics of the game down and is ready to play, as they are playing Cassandra and Samantha begin to smile at each other, maybe the riff between them had come to an end. Eugene certainly hoped so, because neither he or Cassandra knew how long Samantha would be living with them, and the sooner Cassandra and Samantha became friends, the better off they would be.
Chapter 17: Secrets revealed
Summary:
Samantha reveals she's transgender. Her, Cassandra and Eugene all agree to live together.
Notes:
Second story I'm doing with a transgender character. Depending on how well I do, I may do some more.
Chapter Text
Despite never playing Monopoly before in her life, Samantha absolutely destroyed Cassandra and Eugene.
"Wow guys! That was fun! Can we play again?!"
Cassandra and Eugene look at each other before quickly coming up with a plausible reason not to.
"Maybe later. It's almost lunch time and I'm getting hungry. Eugene, what are you going to cook?" Cassandra asked as she stood up and stretched her arms, exposing her belly and the lining of her bra, drawing another quick unnoticed look from Samantha, who liked what she saw, but dare not say anything.
"My culinary skills are to the extent of putting a couple of pizzas in the oven and baking them, if you want something cooked, you're going to have to do it."
"What kind do you have?" Samantha asked as she scratched the side of her face.
"Three meat, four cheese, and a veggie."
"I'm a vegetarian so I'll take the veggie." Sam answered.
"Cass?"
"I'll take the cheese. I can't have a lot of beef, a burger every once in a while is about all I can handle. Eugene, I guess that leaves you with the heart attack."
"Ha.....ha......ha..... It's a three meat, not a heart attack. I'll put Samantha's and yours in first, then I'll cook mine."
"What are you going to do until then?" Cassandra asked curiously.
"Put the board games up and then take a shower."
"Ok. Love you."
"I love you too Cass."
After Cassandra and him kissed, Eugene put up the board games and then went into the bathroom to take a shower.
"Wow, have you got a keeper in him." Samantha said as she stood up to get a glass of water.
"Yeah, he's a good man. There was a time when he could have thrown me to the wolves, but he didn't."
When Cassandra turned to face Samantha she noticed a sizsable bulge in her pants that she hadn't seen before.
"Oh, I see you've noticed." Samantha said as she caught Cassandra looking at her crotch. Cassandra quickly apologized. Her blood running cold as a strong feeling of guilt assulted her body.
"Sorry. That was very rude of me. I've heard of transgender people before, but you're the first one I've ever met. Still, that's not an excuse for me to do what I did."
"Don't sweat it. I'm just glad you didn't call me a freak or anything."
"Why would I call you a freak just because you're different?"
"Let's just say, some people aren't as receptive as you have been."
"Potential boyfriend?"
"Yeah. I've never had sexual intercourse one time in my entire life."
About that time Eugene came into the kitchen after finishing his shower.
"Hello ladies." Cassandra and Samantha both give Eugene a smile, both hungry for more than pizza.
"Sorry about the pizzas Eugene, I was going to put them in the oven but me and Sam got to talking and I forgot."
Samantha got a catch in her breath as she waited to see how Eugene was going to react.
"No problem, I got it." Eugene didn't yell, or scream, or get abusive, which was a welcome sight for Samantha. Much better than what she was accustomed to. Cassandra noticed the look on Sam's face.
"Sam, you ok?"
"Well, since it's confession time, Eugene handled that situation better than my father did when he was alive."
"You mean he beat you?"
"If a day ended in y, yeah. And as soon as I was eighteen I moved out and got as far away from him as I could."
A look came over Eugene's face as Sam's confession resonated with him. Cassandra and him both told Sam what had happened to them.
"I know how you feel. I was abused too."
"And I was anally and vaginally raped. This may be why Sam is in our lives, we all three need each other. Eugene, this is your house, are you comfortable with this kind of living arrangement being permanent?"
"Yes, absolutley."
"Sam, I'm good with it if you are."
"Yes, even though I barely know you two, I feel safe and comfortable here, and I think I would enjoy living with you guys."
"Then it's settled. Time to put some pizzas in the oven and enjoy the rest of our day."
Samatha got to thinking and she realized that since she would be living with Eugene and Cassandra permanently, that he needed to know she was transgender.
"Eugene, there's something I need to tell you."
"Ok, what is it?"
"I have a penis."
"Ok, just be sure to wipe the toilet bowl off if you miss when you stand up to pee, and if you have to pee in the shower, knock yourself out."
"Wow, you're not freaked out?"
"It's a penis. I have one just like it."
"Ok, I'm so relieved that you both are cool with it."
After Samantha's reveal, hers and Cassandra's pizzas are done. Eugene takes them out and puts his in before carefully getting a couple of plates down for Samantha and Cassandra.
"Here you go ladies, enjoy." As Cassandra goes to plate her pizza she almost drops it when high and low pitched sounds unexpectedly began to fill the air, causing her body to involuntarily jerk as she put her free hand over her heart.
"Cass, you ok?"
"Yeah, the noise just startled me is all. I'm sorry. How often does this happen anyway?"
"Third monday of every month. One minute alert followed by a one minute attack." Samantha answered calmly.
"Ok. Thanks." Cassandra replied as her heart rate returned to normal. Once Cassandra had calmed down her and Samantha enjoyed their pizzas while Eugene's baked in the oven. After Cassandra and Samantha finish their pizzas they along with Eugene go into the living room to watch television.
"So, what's good on television on a monday afternoon?" Samantah asked as she sat on the end of the couch and folded her legs in front of her.
"Not much, unless you're a fan of soaps and talk shows." Cassandra replied as she sat down beside Samantha.
"I don't know about you two, but I'm not a fan of either one." Eugene sighed as he sat down beside Cassandra and stretched his right arm across the back of the couch, drawing the attention of Cassandra and Samantha.
"Eugene, you smell good. What kind of deodorent is that?" Cassandra asked as Samantha just looked.
"Axe Dark Chocolate." Eugene replied.
"I like it."
"I do too." Samantha said.
"Eugene, why don't you put us in a movie to watch?"
"Sure. Anything in particular you or Sam want to watch?"
"Tw-" Samantha stopped herself before finishing the name of the movie, immediately apologizing.
"Cass, I'm sorry. I'm such an ass. I shouldn't have even thought it, much less tried to say it."
"It's ok. It's one of my favroites too. Give me a couple of days and I should be able to watch it again."
After looking through his movies Eugene found action hero one and put it in the DVD player to play before going and getting his pizza out of the oven. While he was walking Samantha couldn't help but look at his tight butt, giving herself an erection. She subtley adjusted her legs in hopes that it would go away.
Chapter 18: Hard times.
Summary:
Samantha gets an erection at an inopprotune time, later she's seen on a porn channel causing her to be extremely hurt and embarrassed, but she finds out she has the love and support of Cassandra and Eugene.
Chapter Text
It didn't work, Cassandra looked at Samantha and could tell what she was doing.
'got another hard on huh?' Cassandra whispered so Eugene couldn't hear.
'yes, i'm sorry. i'm moving my legs in hopes that it'll go away.'
'don't be too embarrassed, eugene got them all the time until we.... uh, nevermind.'
'until you fucked? is that what you were going to say?' Samantha asked in an aggravted whisper.
'yeah, until we fucked.'
'well unfortunately for me, fucking isn't an option, and masturbating doesn't work either. god, my penis is so hard it hurts.'
'i'd like to help you but i've already cheated once before with eugene's wife. i'm not about to do it again. let's just watch the movie, maybe that'll take your mind off of it.'
When Eugene came back into the living room he could tell that Samantha was uncomfortable.
"Sam, you ok?"
"No. I've got to go to the bathroom. I'll be back in a few minutes."
When Samantha got into Eugene's bathroom she quickly pulled down her pants and panties, allowing her ten inch cock to bounce as it sprung free. Sighing in relief as the cool air hit it.
"God that feels better. I'll give it a few minutes and then once it goes back down to a manageable size, I'll get dressed and rejoin my friends. They already know I have a penis. I wonder if I could go back in there with just my panties and my shirt on? No, it would be rude and inconsiderate to even ask for such a favor. I know, maybe Cass can take me shopping after the movie for me some boxer shorts to wear so my penis won't spend nearly all day couped up in my pants and panties." Samantha breathes a sigh of relief as her erection finally subsides.
"Phew. Now I can go and enjoy the rest of the movie."
Samantha flushed the toilet and washed her hands to make it sound like she used the bathroom before joining Cassandra and Eugene in the living room to watch the rest of the movie.
"What did I miss?" Samantha asked as she sat down beside Cassandra.
"Not much." Eugene answered. "His plane just landed, and he had a very humorous conversation with a stewardess about the teddy bear he had brought with him."
"Aww man. That's one of the funniest parts too." Samantha lamented.
"Hold on and I'll rewind it."
"No, that's ok. Let's just keep going."
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah."
"Ok."
After the movie was over Eugene and Cassandra both wanted to have sex, but they didn't want ro be rude or inconsiderate to thier new friend, so Eugene started flipping through the channels and they came across the porn channels. Eugene stopped when he saw Samantha on a Girls Gone Wild show. Cassandra and Eugene both looked at Samantha as look of disgust and betrayal came over her face before she got up and went into the kitchen. Eugene turned off the T.V. and went into the kitchen, followed by Cassandra. Samantha was crying when they got to her.
"That bastard! He told me he wouldn't share it!" Samantha exclaimed as Cassandra put her hand on the upset woman's shoulder.
"Who? Who did this to you?" Cassandra asked in a calm and caring tone.
"Some douchebag I went to college with. His name is Andrew Simmons. I made the video so I could get some extra money for some music books I needed. If I had known he was going to share the video I never would have made it. That selfish son-of-a-bitch!"
"Do you know where he's at now?" Eugene asked as he began to think of any criminal charges could be filed.
"No. Last I heard he was an eye doctor in Pincosta."
"How old were you when the video was made?"
"Nineteen, it was six years ago, and I was at a party. God I feel so stupid."
"Why did you lie to me?" Cassandra asked, disappointed at Samantha's deception.
"Because, I'm embarrassed. Anytime I told someone I had a penis the first thing they wanted to know is if it worked like there's, or if it was a girl, their boyfriends. You two are the first to not want to exploit me or use me for sex because of it. I'm very sorry I lied to you Cassandra. I'll get my things and hop on a bus out of here."
"Sam!" Cassandra exclaimed as she put her left hand on the shoulder of her upset friend.
"What?" She asked as she turned around.
"I'm not going to kick you out, and neither is Eugene. Just remember, you can be open and honest with us. Ok? We're not going to judge you for your past. God knows I'm certaintly not going to."
"I won't either. Cass, what do you say you fill up Baby and we get some fresh air."
"You just like riding in her."
"That's beside the point."
"WAIT!" Samantha interjects. "Now I know why that name sounds familiar, there's this T.V. show about two brothers who chase ghosts and spirits and stuff and the older brother also has a car named Baby, but it's a jet black Dodge Charger. Sexy as hell, and the car looks good too."
Feeling better about herself and about being able to be open and honest with Cassandra and Eugene, Samantha goes with them on a drive along the countryside.
Chapter 19: Outing
Summary:
After they get back to Corona, Cassandra stops by a branch of her bank to check her account, after she finds a pleasant suprise she takes Samantha shopping for boxer shorts to help her not hurt when she gets erections.
Chapter Text
"Eugene, this was a great idea you had. The hills are so green. It's beautiful." Samantha said from the back seat.
"I have to agree with Sam. This is breathtaking. Eugene, I'm going to find a safe place to pull over so the three of us can get some pictures."
"That sounds nice. Say, would you two like to go on a hike?"
"I don't know Eugene, none of us are really dressed for it."
"Speaking of, I was hoping Cassandra could take me shopping for some loose fitting clothes for when I....."
"Gotcha. Cass, you think we can swing that?"
"Take me to the bank so I can check my account, and then we'll see."
"Thank you Cass. I'll pay you back as soon as I can." Without thinking, Samantha kissed Cassandra on the side of her cheek, which caused them both to blush.
"Oh God! Cass, I'm sorry. I'm such an idiot. Are you two mad?"
"No." Cassandra said reassuringly. "It was just a friendly kiss, don't worry about it. Eugene, are you mad?"
"At a peck on the cheek, don't be silly. You guys ready to take some pictures now?"
"Yeah, Sam?"
"Yeah. Let's do it."
After taking pictures of each other and the vast green counrty side the three friends made thier way back into town.
When they got to a branch of Cassandra's bank the lanes are all full so she decided to park and go inside to check her account. After she gave the teller her account information Cassandra was more than suprised by the amount on the receipt.
"Ma'am." Cassandra said politely as she looked again at her receipt. "I think there must be some mistake. Can you check this again?"
The teller agreed and rechecked Cassandra's account, only to get the same result.
"And you're sure there's no mistake?"
"Yes ma'am. Would you like a printout?"
"Yes.....please. I'm sorry about this, but stuff like this doesn't just happen."
After she got her printout, Cassandra made a withdrawl from her account and hurriedly left the bank. She got into her car and caught her breath.
"Cass, you ok?" Cassandra handed Eugene her receipt and printout of her recent transactions.
"A hundred thousand dollars! HOLY SHIT!" Eugene exclaimed as Samantha and him looked at the receipt.
"Yeah, and look at the date. It was deposited a week after your wife died."
Eugene looked everything over and figured out what had happened.
"This is the amount I had taken out for her life insurance. I had forgotten we named you the beneficiary."
"Why would she do that?"
"Because I blow through money like a tornado blows through a trailer park, and I guess she knew you would stay behind and help out." Eugenes' comment drew a look from Cassandra and Samantha both.
"Tornado, shit! I'm sorry guys."
"It's ok Eugene. I'm all but over it. So, what do you guys want to do now?"
"I guess we'll go shopping and go from there." Samantha suggested. When they got to the mall, Cassandra took Samantha shopping while Eugene took a look around.
"You think Eugene will be ok without adult supervision?" Samantha quipped as Cassandra and her looked through the selection of basketball shorts at a sporting goods store.
"Yeah, I think he'll be fine."
"So, what are you going to do with all that money?"
"I'm not sure.....wait, I just got an idea...someone I know needs a car. And after we're done here. We're going to go to take him to buy one."
"Cass, that's a great idea! I've got some shorts, come on, let's go get Eugene and go buy him a car."
"Ok, we'll go. You sound more excited about this than I do...." Cassandra paused when she realized that other things took proirity.
"wait, we're getting ahead of ourselves. We, well I guess I, have funerals to pay for and tombstones to order, then I can buy Eugene a car."
"Aren't you going to let Eugene do some of this? I mean, it is his wife and his inlaws."
"Yeah.....I don't know what's wrong with me. Other than I have a take charge personality, and sometimes it kicks into high gear. That and seems like Rapunzel wanted me in charge."
"Has Eugene ever shown himself to be irresponsible?" Samantha asked as Cassandra and her left the sporting goods store.
"Just once since I've known him. But I'm not going to divulge what happened. It was an isolated incident that he's not going to repeat again, because if he does, I'm going to kick his ass all over Corona."
"Oh, ok." Samantha believed Cassandras' words, and hoped in her heart that whatever Eugene did, wouldn't be repeated.
When the girls found Eugene he was looking at some video game systems, he had wanted to get one but his finances had never allowed for it, until now. He was getting ready to buy one when Cassandra and Samantha walked up to him.
"Whatcha looking at?" Cassandra asked as she wrapped her left arm around Eugenes' back.
"Video game systems. Which one do you think I should get?"
"Uhhhhhh, Eugene, I think we need to hold off on buying video game systems until after we make some very important purchases."
"Such as?" Eugene knew the answers.
"Three tombstones, and we have to pay for the funerals." Eugenes' eyes turned red as a sad look came over his face.
"Yeah......of course."
"Hey," Cassandra said in a calm and sympathetic tone. "It'll be ok. Like I told you before. I'm here for you, and we're going to get through this together, and we have a new friend. Now come on, let's go get some food or something to help you clear your head."
Food seemed to be the go to for them, no matter what was happening.
"Luigis'?" Eugene asked as he wiped his red eyes.
"Sure." Even though they had already had pizza, Cassandra and Samantha had both decided that they could munch on some cheese bread, marinara sauce, and a salad.
When they get to the food court the three friends order and then sit at the same table Cassandra and Eugene had sat at the last time they were there.
"Eugene, I know we're not religious, I don't even consider myself to be apart of any denomination, but are there any Scripture verses you would want on the tombstones of Rapunzel, or your inlaws?" Caseandra asked quietly. Eugene sighed before he answered.
"Rapunzel really liked Psalm 23. That was one of her favroite passages in the Bible."
"Is there any particular version you would like to use?"
Eugene paused as he tried to think of an answer.
"Eugene, you can pick whichever one you want, and if anyone gives you any grief over it I'll take care of it. I'm not going to tolerate anyone giving you a hard time over which version of the Bible you want to use."
"I'm not either." Samantha chimed in.
"I would like to use the KJV. It never made much difference to me but it was her favroite."
"Ok, then that's what we'll use. How many verses of Psalms 23 do you want on her tombstone?"
"I would like all six verses inscribed on the back."
"Ok. Now what about the front?"
"I'm not sure yet. Can I have some time to think about it?"
"Absolutley. I'm going to go check on our food. Sam, give me a hand?"
"Sure."
A few minutes later Cassandra and Samantha came back with two trays and three drinks.
"Here you go Eugene." Samantha said as she sat Eugenes' tray down in front of him.
"Thanks." Cassandra sat Samantha and hers tray down and they all three began to eat their snacks as Eugene tried to think of what all he wanted on the tombstones of his wife and inlaws.
Chapter 20: Eugenes' New Ride
Summary:
After his wifes' and in-laws tombstones are ordered, Eugene gets a new car. Then when him and his friends get home they have an impromptu threesome.
Chapter Text
After they finish eating their snacks Eugene decides what he wants on the tombstones of Rapunzel and his inlaws. After they leave the mall Cassandra takes Eugene to the Corona monument company to get headstones for his wife and her parents. Then she has a suprise for him that will blow his mind.
"Ok guys. I've figured out what I want the tombstones to say."
"Ok." Cassandra said in a sympathetic voice as Samantha put thier trash on the trays and took them to the trash.
On Rapunzels' and mine, I want our wedding date which was Feburary 6th 2002, and I want a cross in the middle of it then obviously the day she was born and then the day she died, and for my inlaws double tombstone I want a cross on the front with the words, "Together forever in Heaven." underneath it. And on the back I want 2nd Timothy 4 verses 6-8."
"Ok. KJV?" Cassandra asked as she wrote down the information.
"Yes. It was a favroite of my inlaws as well."
"Ok......got it. You ready?" Cassandra put her pen and the piece of paper she wrote on in her purse as she stood up.
"I'm going to have to be."
"Eugene, we got your back. If you start to lose your composure I'll take over for you, ok?"
"Ok."
"We ready guys?" Samantha asked as she got back from putting thier trash in the trash can in the center of the food court.
"Yeah. I think so." Cassandra took Eugene by the hand and they left the mall with Samantha following right behind them.
After they arrived at the monument company they all three went in. Samantha, went in to show her genuine support for Eugene. It took a while, and some assisstance from Cassandra, but the tombstones were ordered and half paid for. They then left the establishment and went to the funeral home to pay for the funerals. After all was said and done they left the funeral home and Cassandra took Eugene to get his suprise.
"Eugene, I have a suprise for you, but I'm going to need you to close your eyes until we get there." Cassandra said as she drove out of the funeral home parking lot.
"How far are we away from this suprise?" Eugene asked, still upset from the events of the day.
"About half an hour. Just close your eyes and I'll let you know when we get there."
"Ok." Eugene closed his eyes and quickly fell into a doze. Which would have been fine, except for his snoring, but instead of waking Eugene up Cassandra played the Metallica cd that was in her cd player.
"Ahhhhh. Nothing like a little
'Enter Sandman'." Cassandra said as she drove away from the funeral home.
After making the half hour drive across town Cassandra stops in the parking lot of a car dealership and shuts off her car.
"Eugene, wake up, we're here." Cassandra said as she gently nudged Eugenes' shoulder.
"Huh, what?" Eugene sat up and rubbed his eyes before he looked around to see where he was.
"What are we doing at a car dealership?"
"To get you your suprise." Cassandra said with a smile.
"A car? You're buying me a car?" Eugene asked as he looked at Cassandra in disbelief.
"Yes Eugene. And you get to drive it home with no payments to make."
"Oh my God! I don't belie.... a car. This is....."
"Come on. Let's go pick out your new ride."
Eugene quickly exited the car and he was like a kid in a candy store, and it didn't take long for him to find the candy he wanted, a metallic blue 2016 Chevrolet Camaro, it sold for $45,000, and Cassandra had more than enough money to pay for it on the spot.
"Eugene, is this the car you want?" Cassandra asked when she caught up with him.
"Yeah, hell yeah, this is the car I want!"
"Then let's go inside and let them know." After Cassandra Eugene and Samantha went inside it didn't take long to get the paperwork done and Cassandras' check to clear before Eugene followed Cassandra and Samantha home in his new ride.
"You think he's happy?" Samantha asked as Cassandra drove down main street with Eugene right behind her, his windows down and his radio blasting Drowning Pools' "Bodies" as loud as it possibly could.
"I think this is the happiest he's been in a long time." Cassandra said as she smiled and looked in her rearview mirror.
When they got home and got parked Eugene ran up to Cassandra and kissed her on her collar bone as he wrapped her up from behind.
"Is someone happy?" Cassandra asked with a laugh.
'yeah, and i want to show you how much.' Eugene whispered excitedly in Cassandras now warm and red ear. She could feel his hard cock against her left butt cheek and she knew what he meant. Samantha knew it too, she also knew that it wouldn't envolve her, not that it should. After they went inside, Samantha sat on the couch and turned on the television while Cassandra and Eugene went into the bedroom.
'eugene, we have a someone else living with us now, and I would feel kinda weird fucking knowing she can hear us.'
'you want to let her join us?'
'isn't that cheating?'
'not if it's a polyamorous relationship.'
'so if samantha fucks me it's not cheating, as far as this relationship goes?'
'no, same goes if she fucks me or if i fuck her. even if you're not involved.'
'ok, i'll try it. i'm going to go get her.'
'ok.' Cassandra went into the living room to talk to Samantha.
"How come you guys haven't started celebrating yet?" Samantha asked as she flipped through channels.
"Because," Cassandra sat beside Samantha and put her left hand on her right shoulder. "It's not fair for us to celebrate and leave you out of it." Cassandra leaned over and kissed Samantha on the right side of her neck just above her collarbone, causing her to moan quietly as she closed her eyes and dropped the remote onto the floor. Cassandra takes her right hand and runs it up underneath Samanthas' shirt and bra, her cock gets hard as they share a deep kiss and she pulls down her pants and panties.
"Goddamn!' Cassandra said as she looked at and stroked Samanthas' large pulsaiting cock while undoing her pants. After Cassansra had removed her pants, panties and shirt she stradled Samantha and slowly inserted her cock into her tight wet vagina.
"Sam, holy fuck your cock is......son-of-a-bitch!" Cassandra said as she bounced up and down on Samanthas' cock while Samantha removed their bras. After their bras were removed they both fondled each others breasts and took turns sucking on each others hard nipples.
"Ffffffffuck!" Cassandra exclaimed as her first orgasm rushed through her body, curling her toes as she arched her back and fingered her clit. By this time Eugene had walked into the living room. Samantha looked at him and motioned for him to come over to the couch, he complied, and removed his clothes as he went. Cassandra turned her head to look at him and wet her lips at the sight of his hard cock. Knowing what Cassandra wanted he walked over to her. She took his cock into her mouth and quickly sucked on it.
'fuck, i wonder if I can take both cocks in my pussy at the same time. fuck it, let's try it.' Cassandra thought to herself as she tasted the sticky salty juice of Eugenes' cock.
"Eugene. Sam. I want you both to fuck my pussy at the same time!" Cassandra exclaimed as she got off of Samantha and went to the center of the room. Eugene and Samantha looked at each other, shrugged their shoulders, and joined Cassandra in the middle of the room.
After they had laid down and scooted their hard cocks together, Cassandra spread her legs across them and inserted both cocks inside of her.
"FUUUCCCCKKKKK!" She exclaimed as the walls of her vagina spread as far apart as they possibly could. "Oh God! I'm going to cum!" Cassandra exclaimed again as she covered Eugene and Samanthas' cocks with her warm sticky juices. "Ok guys. That's all I can take for now. I'm sorry."
"It's ok Cass." Eugene said calmly. "Sam, on your knees." Samantha complied and Eugene slowly entered her butt as Cassandra sat in the floor and watched as she fingered her clit.
"Eugene, oh fuck your cock feels so fucking good inside me. Fuck I want you to fill my ass with your cum. Cass, come over here, I want to lick your pussy." Cassandra complied and got on her knees in front of Samantha and moaned as Samantha started to lick and nibble on her folds.
"Samantha I'm going to cum!" Eugene increased the thrust of his hips and gave Samantha his entire hot sticky load and watched as it leaked out of her butt and onto the carpet.
"Eugene, fuck!" After Eugene pulled out Samantha stood up over a still kneeling Cassandra who opened her mouth and closed her eyes.
"Ahhhhhhh, ahhhhhhh, AHHH FUCK!" Samantha exclaimed as she shot her load onto Cassandras' face and part of her hair.
"Holy shit!" Samantha exclaimed as the last bit of cum dripped off of the tip of her still hard cock and onto the carpet. After it was over three friends showered, and went to bed naked. The carpet was going to need a good cleaning, but it could wait.
Chapter 21: Getting Back To Normal
Summary:
Cassandra Samantha and Eugene try to get back into the swing of things, but Eugene is still holding on to some animosity towards fradulent televangelists. Later while watching a movie with Cassandra while Eugene is in bed, Samantha gets curious about who, when the time comes, is going to get Cassandra pregnant.
Chapter Text
While Samantha and Cassandra slept, Eugene woke up and put on a pair of boxer shorts and a shirt before going to the kitchen to fix himself something to eat. He wanted to find something quick so he wouldn't wake up his girlfriends.
"Ok, what can I make that's quick and quiet?" Eugene asked himself as he quickly looked through the cabinets. While he was looking through the cabinets Samantha came into the kitchen wearing shorts and a tight pink sapghetti strap shirt with no bra, her nipples clearly noticeable underneath the thin pink fabric.
"Hey." She said as Eugene pulled a can of ravaoli off of a shelf in his pantry.
"Hey. I didn't wake you up getting out of bed did I?" Eugene asked as he turned around and sat the can down by the stove and went for a microwaveable bowl.
"No. I just woke up. What time is it anyway?"
"Nine." Eugene replied as he took a quick glance at the clock above his sink before he opened his can of ravaoli and poured into his bowl and put it in the microwave.
"I had fun earlier. It was pretty hot."
"It was, though I think I owe Cassandra an apology."
"Why?" Samantha asked as Eugene started his microwave.
"Because, before we met you she discovered gay porn, and she said that an anus wasn't designed to hold a penis, and she seemed turned off by it."
"So, you think that when you fucked my ass it offended her, even though she was rubbing her clit and cummimg on the carpet as you came in me?"
"Guess not, speaking of the carpet, I'm going to schedule it to be cleaned while we're all out tomorrow. Do you want anything to eat? I've been standing here talking and I didn't even think to ask."
"I could go for something to eat. As good as it is, mall food doesn't stay around for very long. I thought all you could cook was pizzas?"
"No, what I meant is I don't cook full course meals. If it takes more than the instructions on a can or the back of a box, I don't tend to fair very well, and I've tried more than a few times."
"How come? What's the difference between the instructions on the back of a box, and following a receipe?"
"I'm not sure. It just seems that after so many steps, I tend to get lost and forget whether or not I've added the right ingredients, I would even try checking them off, which worked, until I would use an ingredient and forget to check it off, or
vice versa, and since I was basically living alone with Rapunzel in the hospital, I didn't see any point in putting forth anymore effort in cooking anything other than what came in a can, or a frozen pizza box."
"Makes sense to me." Samantha said as she looked in Eugenes' freezer. By this time Cassandra had gotten up and came into the living room, she was also wearing a pair of shorts and a shirt with no bra, except her top was more loose fitting.
"Hey guys." Cassandra said as she plopped down on the couch, turned on the television and turned it onto the sports channel.
"Hey Cass." Eugene and Samantha both replied.
"Hey Eugene, are there any Chinese restaurants still open?" Samantha asked when she couldn't find anything she wanted to eat.
"Yeah, the one by the pancake house you used to work at is open until eleven, and on the weekends it's open until midnight."
"Ok. I'm going to order me some orange chicken with fried rice and a couple of eggrolls. Cass, do you want anything?"
"Sure. I'll take a large vegetable lo mein, just let me know how much it is so I can pay for it."
"Are you sure?" Samantha asked as she went to get her phone out of the bedroom.
"Yeah Sam. I've got it. Hey Eugene, the Corona Cubs are playing the Koto Cardinals, you want to watch it?"
"Hell yeah, I never miss a chance to see the Cardinals get their asses handed to them. This rivalry is almost as intense as the Cubs rivalry with the Saporia White Sox."
"Are the Cardinals in the playoffs?" Cassandra asked as Samantha came back into the living room with her phone and sat on the couch right up against Cassandras' right thigh, which drew a look from Cassandra.
"Sorry." Samantha said as she scooted down about a foot before she placed her delivery order. "Who's playing?" Samantha asked after she placed her order and put her phone down before she put her left hand on Cassandras' right.
"The Corona Cubs and the Koto Cardinals." Cassandra answered as she put her left leg over her right one. "I'm not a huge fan of baseball, but Eugene has been a very good boy, so I think we can let him watch a game." Cassandra added in a lighthearted tone.
"Oh, before I forget, our order came to fifteen dollars." Samantha said.
"Ok." Cassandra said as Eugene got a glass and filled it up with soda.
When Eugene came into the living room with his ravaoil and Mt. Dew, he stopped and looked at Cassandra and Samantha. They looked back at him and then looked at each other before Cassandra scooted down so Eugene could sit between them.
"Goddamn Eugene, did you get enough ravaoli? How much is that?" Cassandra asked as Eugene took a bite and then a drink of his soda.
"Two pounds." Eugene answered after he swallowed.
"Sam, he's sleeping with you tonight. I'm sleeping on the couch."
"Bullshit. We'll take the bed and he can sleep on the couch." They joked.
"Oh, Cass, to answer your question, yes, the Cardinals are in the playoffs, they're going in as a wild card." Eugene added after the girls had their little joke.
"What's a wild card?" Samantha asked as she adjusted herself.
"It's the best team outside of the three division winners in each league." Eugene responded.
"How many leagues are there?"
"Two. The Seven Kingdoms League and the Federation League, and the Arendelle Aeros of the Federation League have won the past four World Series Championships, but when you're loaded like Anna and Elsa Federov are, you can pretty well sign any player you want for as long as you want, and even with the Cubs looking as good as they do this year, It might as well be a moot point."
"Anna and Elsa Federov. As in Federov Medical, Federov?" Cassandra asked as she pulled down on the tail of her shirt.
"That would be them." Eugene answered. As the game approached the seventh inning stretch, there was a knock on the door.
"Food's here." Cassandra said as she got up and got a twenty dollar bill out of her purse before she opened the door, and as before she told the delivery driver to keep the change before she took the sack of food and sat it down on the coffee table while Samantha went to get Cassandra and her a couple of drinks.
"Cass, what do you want to drink?"
"Cola."
"Ok."
After Samantha brought the drinks in and sat back down, Eugene got up to take his empty bowl into the kitchen.
"Eugene, baby, you ok?" Cassandra asked as Eugene walked slowly into the kitchen.
"Yeah, I just can't stand it when the Cubs lose to the Cardinals."
"Well, the game isn't over yet. The Cubs still have the bottom of the ninth inning." Cassandra said in a positive tone.
"True, but it's a three run deficit, and they're 13-36 this season when trailing by three or more runs in the eighth or ninth inning."
"Ok... suit yourself. I guess I'll find something else to watch."
"Hold on. I didn't say I didn't want to watch the end of the game. I just said they weren't going to win."
When Eugene sat back down on the couch the bottom of the ninth inning had started, and before Eugene could even blink, the Cubs were down to their final strike, but no sooner had Eugene said "told you", Sanchez, the Cubs final hope for a base runner, executed a swinging bunt and beat the throw from the pitcher to first base.
The next batter, Williams, followed Sanchezs' bunt single with a single into center field, leaving runners on first and third, then Walker took a fastball to the hip and the bases were loaded, five pitches later, Baldwin, a rookie left filder batting third in the lineup, who came in in the eighth for an injured Schwartz, stood down Hector Ramirez, one of the best closers in baseball. Eugene Cassandra and Samantha all leaned forward and listened to what happened next.
"Baldwin, a rookie who came in in the eighth inning for an injured Schwartz, calls time and steps out of the batters box, and he has to be thinking to himself, 'just get one through the infield and get a hit so we can get to the heart of our batting order.' He steps back in the box and waits on the three-two pitch from Ramirez who steps off the bag, playing mind games with the rookie, trying to rattle him. Ok, Ramirez is ready, here's the pitch, fastball, SWING AND A DRIVE TO LEFT CENTER FIELD...IT IS.....GOOOOONNNNNNNEEEE!! A WALK OFF GRAND SLAM FOR THE ROOKIE DERRICK BALDWIN, OFF OF ONE OF THE BEST CLOSERS IN BASEBALL!! BALDWIN STEPS ON HOME PLATE WHERE HE IS MOBBED BY HIS TEAM MATES! WHAT A TURN OF EVENTS HERE AT SIMMONS FIELD! THE CUBS, HAVE STUNNED THE CARDINALS, WITH A WALKOFF
GRAND SLAM AND WIN THE GAME 4-3!! MY GOD WHAT A FINISH!!"
Eugene, his mouth agape, Cassandra and Samantha were all stunned after they watched what had just unfolded.
"I.....I don't believe what I just saw!" Eugene said.
"Told you." Cassandra said to Eugene with a grin as she browsed the channel list. "So what do you guys want to watch now?"
"Uhhhhhh. I don't know." Samantha answered after she swallowed a bite of her orange chicken.
"Oh look." Cassandra said dryly after she stopped on a televangelist. "I wonder how much money he wants this time?"
"Is that a Zhan Tiri suit he's wearing?" Samantha asked after she took a drink of her cola.
"Yeah." Cassandra answered with a laugh as Eugene slowly became angry.
"Turn it, before I put my fist through the television!" Eugene responded seriously.
"Eugene, I didn't mean to offend you." Cassandra said as she changed the channel then turned off the television.
"It's not you. I can't tell you how many times I fell for that 'Sow your seed' garbage, or, 'Send me a hundred dollars and I'll send you this pouch of miraclious water.' Well I tried it, prayed over it, a lot, and Rapunzel still died."
"Eugene, those men are nothing but scammers, thieves, and shysters who prey on the vulnerable and the desperate. If they really cared about the souls of the people they 'preached' to, they wouldn't be constantly asking for money, or telling you to use things they know don't work, and it's not that God didn't answer your prayers, it's just that, he answered them with a 'no.'
You may not believe this, but I prayed for Rapunzel, a lot, after I had heard that she had been diagnosed with ovarian cancer, but it was her time to go. We are His creation Eugene, and whether we like it or not, He is in control, not us." Cassandra said as Eugenes' eyes got misty.
"I know, but that doesn't make it any easier. You two watch whatever you want. I'm going to shower and then go to bed. I'll see you both in the morning."
'I didn't mean to upset him. I had no idea he had gotten into that stuff.' Cassandra said as Samantha and her went back to eating their food after Eugene had went into the bathroom and closed the door.
"Some people are desperate for miracles, so desperate that, they believe they can be bought, and Eugene is one of those people." Samantha added after she swallowed a bite of her eggroll.
"So, what do you want to watch?" Cassandra asked after she took a drink of her cola.
"Nothing dirty. I suddenly don't feel like watching anything with a lot of sex and nudity in it."
"I wasn't looking for that, but, ok. You want to watch the news?"
"No. The news is too depressing and biased."
"True. It is getting harder to find a reputable news source. Uh, how about a comedy?"
"Ok. You want to put in a movie, or try to find one on the T.V. first?"
"I'll try to find one on the T.V. first." Cassandra said as she turned the television back on.
"Here's one. A group of racers compete in an illegal cross counrty race from Arendelle to Ingvarr." Cassandra said while Samantha stood up.
"Sounds good. I'll be back in a minute. I need to take a piss."
"Ok." Cassandra selected the movie and watched the opening credits while Samantha used the bathroom, she got back just in time for the start of the movie.
"There, that's better." Samantha said with a sigh as she sat back down on the couch and crossed her legs.
A few minutes later, while the girls were watching the movie, Eugene came out of the bathroom wearing nothing but his boxer shorts.
"Good night girls." Eugene said as he looked at his two happy friends.
"Good night Eugene." Cassandra replied as she looked up at him. "We'll be in there after the movie."
"Damn. I feel so bad for him." Samantha said as she put her left arm around Cassandra after Eugene went to bed.
"I do too, but I can tell that he needs some space, and some time to himself, so I'm going to give it to him."
"You really care for him, don't you?" Samantha asked after she had finished her chicken and wiped her mouth with a napkin.
"Yeah, like I've said before, he could have thrown me to the wolves, but he didn't."
"So....what does your future hold with him?"
"Don't you mean with us?" Cassandra asked as the movie began to take a back seat. "Samantha, you're a part of us too, you can live here as long as you like, and I don't want you to ever forget that. As for our future, I'm not sure what it holds, a polygamist marriage? Pregnancy? I don't have the first clue, but, what I do know, is that I love Eugene very much, and, I love you too."
"So, if and when you do decide you want to get pregnant, who do you want to impregnate you?"
"I don't know." Cassandra said with a 'really, like that matters' laugh. "I figure we'll talk about that when the time comes. Samantha, regardless of who gets me pregnant, all three of us are going to raise however many kids I decide to have. Now just relax and let's watch the rest of the movie, and when it's over, we may get some 'practice' in."
"I'd like that." Samantha replied as Cassandra and her went back to watching their movie.
After the movie, Cassandra and Samantha went to bed, and Cassandra was thinking about who she wanted to get her pregnant.
Chapter 22: New Day
Summary:
In an odd twist of fate, Eugene has to convince a security guard not to kill a televangelist that they both have a mutual hatred for. Samantha gets a new job that might get her back into music while Cassandra remains unemployed.
Chapter Text
When Cassandra and Samantha got into Eugenes' bedroom, who was sound asleep on his left side, they stopped and looked at him.
"We need to be careful getting in bed. We don't want to wake him up." Cassandra said as Samantha and her took off thier shirts.
"You wanna sleep naked?" Cassandra added.
"No. You can if you want to. I'm going to leave my shorts on." Samantha said in an aggravated tone.
"Are you mad?" Cassandra asked as she removed her shorts.
"Not at you, or Eugene," Samantha said as she slowly crawled into bed on the right side of Eugene and laid on her back. "I'm mad at those so called preachers that prey on vulnerable and innocent people who are genuinely looking for help."
"Sam, I'm mad too, but there's nothing that can be done to stop them. They've been doing this for years, and they will continue to do it until this world comes to an end."
"What about after?"
"I'm sure there's a special place in Hell for them."
"How do they get by with it?" Samantha asked as she covered herself with a sheet.
"Simple, if a miracle doesn't happen, then all they have to say is that it wasn't Gods' will."
After they got in bed, Cassandra and Samantha both said good night and drifted off to sleep. In the middle of the night, Eugene woke up when he got a strong burning sensation in the middle of his chest. 'Heartburn', he thought to himself as he got out of bed as quietly as possible and went to the kitchen to get himself some antacid medicine for his heartburn.
While Eugene was in the kitchen Cassandra woke up when she went to reach for Eugene but didn't feel him. 'Where did he go?' Cassandra asked as she sat up and stretched her arms. 'Oh, he's in the kitchen. I'm going to check on him and make sure he's ok.' Cassandra said to herself as she got out bed and put on a shirt, which left her entire lower body exposed.
"Hey, you ok?" Cassandra asked softly as she walked up behind Eugene and put her left hand on his bare back.
"Yeah, I'm just waiting for these antacid tablets to dissolve so I can drink this water and then go back to bed. This is what I get for eating so much ravaoli." Eugene answered as he looked at Cassandra.
"Why are you half naked?" Eugene added.
"Because, I didn't see any reason to get completely dressed just to come in here and check on you." Cassandra answered as she rubbed the back of Eugenes' right shoulder.
"Oh, ok. Did you and Samantha enjoy your movie?"
"Yeah, it was pretty funny."
"What did you two watch?"
"The Cannonball Run. I laughed so hard I had tears, but, during the movie, Sam brought up a subject that I hadn't given much thought to."
"Oh, what is it?" Eugene asked after he drank his seltzer and quietly placed his glass in the sink.
"She wanted to know, when I'm ready, which one of you is going to get me pregnant, and I'm honestly not sure which one of you I want. Are you mad?"
"No. It's your body and your decision on who impregnates you."
"I told her we might fuck after the movie, but she was so pissed at those fake preachers, that she wasn't in the mood for it."
"I'm sorry. I guess I shouldn't have said anything."
"It's your house Eugene, you had every right to say something, and if I had known you had gotten involved in that stuff, I would have kept flipping through the channels and never said a word."
Eugene sighed before he spoke.
"It's ok. What's done is done. Let's just go back to bed and go back to sleep. We have a busy day ahead of us tomorrow."
When Cassandra and Eugene walked back into Eugenes' bedroom they both looked at Samantha who was still sound asleep.
"Eugene, for some reason, I think Sam feels like she's an afterthought in this relationship, and I'm not sure how we can get her to change her perspective. Maybe we can think of something tomorrow, right now, I'm just ready to go back to sleep."
"I know how." Eugene said as he looked at Cassandra. "I can always get you pregnant if you decide to have another child."
"Eugene, are you serious? You want Samantha to get me pregnant with my first child?"
"Yes. I do."
"Ok. Then we'll talk about it tomorrow morning over breakfast."
The next morning, Cassandra Eugene and Samantha were sitting at their kitchen table enjoying breakfast. They were all wearing shorts and tank tops with sandals.
"Sam. We need to talk about what we talked about last night."
"Cass, I'm sorry. I know I'm an equal in this relationship, and I shouldn't have been worried about who is going to get you pregnant."
"Well, when the time comes. I want you to get me pregnant."
Samantha couldn't believe what she heard.
"You, you do?"
"Yes, but it's still going to be a while before I'm ready for you to cum in me."
"Cass, thank you, this means a lot to me, but, what about Eugene?"
"I'm perfectly fine with it. If Cassandra wants to have multiple children, I can always get her pregnant the next time."
"Wow." Samantha added. "I've never gotten a woman pregnant before. I'm kinda nervous."
"Come on. Let's do these dishes up real quick and then watch some television before we head to town." Cassandra suggested as Eugene finished his coffee. After the dishes were done Cassandra Samantha and Eugene sat down on the couch.
"Ok, let's get the weather real quick before we head out." Cassandra said before she turned on the television. While they were waiting for the weather, a commercial came on for a job fair that afternoon at Corona mall.
"Hey Sam, we can go there and help you find a job."
"Sounds like a good plan to me Cass."
After the commercial it was time for the weather. It was going to be sunny with clear skies and temperatures in the upper 90s. After the weather Cassandra went to turn off the television when a news story caught Eugenes' eye.
"Cass, don't turn it off yet." Eugene said as he listened to the story.
"Security at Corona Mall is going to be heightened today as televangelist Lenord Wynn is scheduled for a book signing at
One P.M. to promote his new book: "Tapping Into Gods' Riches..."
"Ok. Turn it off." Eugene said in a calm tone, despite the fact that the man in the news story is the same man that Eugene sent money to for the miracle water.
"Eugene, Sam and I can always go to the mall another time."
"No. I'll take you and find something else to do while you guys are at the job fair."
"Ok. We'll call you when we're done."
"I'll be close by. I'm going to call and have the carpet scheduled to be cleaned and then we'll head out."
"And I'm going to grab us some sunscreen to put on before we go." Cassandra added as she stood up and made her way to the bathroom while Samantha adjusted her top.
After Eugene Cassandra and Samantha put on sunscreen, they got into Eugenes' car and drove to the mall.
"Hey Eugene, can I pick a station?" Cassandra asked eagerly.
"Sorry Cass, but as a famous charcter once said, 'Driver picks the music, shotgun shuts his cakehole', besides, what's wrong with a little 'Disturbed'?"
"Nothing, I just want to see how many stations you have?"
"Go ahead. But none of that 'love song' crap. I hate that shit."
"Don't worry Eugene. I hate it too. Sam, what about you?"
"I'm not a fan of it either. I'd rather listen to grunge rock or hip-hop."
"Cool." Eugene said as he turned down the road that led to the mall.
When they arrived at the mall Eugene gave both girls a kiss before he left.
"You girls have a good time." Eugene said after Cassandra shut her door.
"We will Eugene. See you later. We'll call you when we're done."
"Ok. Bye." Eugene drove off as his two girlfriends walked into the sparcely crowded mall.
"So Sam, what kind of job are you looking for?" Cassandra asked as they watched people set up the booths for the job fair.
"I don't know, but I hope I can find...." Sam stopped talking and got an angry look on her face and clinched her fist when she saw the televangelist Lenord Wynn standing by his roped off booth in a dark blue business suit and shiny black shoes surrounded by men wearing various colored suits.
"Sam...don't." Cassandra said in a weary tone. "He isn't worth it."
"I'm sorry Cass."
"Come on, we'll come back when the job fair starts, take your mind off of him, besides, you wouldn't get within five feet of him anyway."
"What are we going to do, just walk around the mall?" Samantha asked in an aggravated tone.
"Yes, until the job fair starts."
"Good thing this place has two stories."
"Come on. Let's go see what there is to look at on the second story. You want to take an escalator or an elevator?"
"Escalator. It's faster."
"Ok."
After they got to the much more crowded second floor, Cassandra got an idea when Samantha and her saw an empty row of black chairs with a sign behind them.
"Sam, how about a massage in one of these chairs? That should help you relax and take your mind off of Lenord."
"I'd rather get a massage from you." Samantha said seductively as she wrapped her right arm around Cassandras' waist which caused Cassandra to blush. "But, I guess a chair will have to do for now."
When Cassandra and Samantha got over to the chairs, Cassandra put dollar bills in each one before they sat in them and waited for the massage to start.
"Oh God!" Samantha said after her massage started. "This feels almost as good as the real thing. I love how it gets in deep on my lower back and hips."
"Yeah, I like it too. We're going to have to do this more often." Cassandra added in a relaxed tone as her chair was massaging her back.
After their massages were over, Cassandra and Samantha got up and almost inmediately found something else that caught their eye, a photo booth.
"Cass, you want to take some photos together?"
"Sure, how many do you want to take?"
"Ten or twenty."
"Ok, then what?"
"I don't know. I'm in the mood for something sweet, but I don't want to go back down to the firsr floor."
"Ok, there's a directory just a few stores down, we'll take a look after we get our pictures made and see if there's anything up here."
"Ok, that sounds good."
After they took their pictures and got them printed out, Cassandra found a coffee shop all the way at the other end of the store.
"That ok with you?" Cassandra asked as Samantha and her looked at the directory.
"Perfect. I could go for a caramel macchito."
"Cool. Then let's go."
While they were walking to the coffee shop, Cassandra and Samantha slowed down when they came to a novelty store.
"Hey Cass, you want to stop by here on our way back?"
"Uhhh, sure. What the hell." Cassandra said as she shrugged her shoulders. When Cassandra and Samantha arrived at the coffee shop, they were pleasantly suprised they were the only ones in the shop, but it wouldn't last.
"Hello ladies, how can I help you today?" A woman dressed in a green t-shirt and blue jeans asked as she walked up to her register.
"Uh, I'll take a caramel macchiato and a piece of angel food cake with the strawberries on top. Cass, what do you want?"
"I'll have a milk and a blueberry cupcake."
After their total was rang up, Cassandra paid for their desserts and drinks and then stood at the end of the counter while Sam sat at a table at the back of the shop with her back turned. While Cassandra was waiting on her order a tall man with a medium build, black hair, trimmed beard and wearing beige slacks and and a black polo shirt came in and exchanged a polite nod and 'hi' with Cassandra before he placed his order.
After Cassandra got her order she went over to Sam and sat in front of her.
"Hey Sam." Cassandra said to Sam who was playing on her phone. Sam put her phone in her pocket and looked at Cassandra.
"Hi."
"Have you had a good time so far?"
"Yeah, I have."
After the man got his order he sat close enough to Samantha and Cassandra that they could hear him talking on his phone and Samanthas' faced turned beet red, but she didn't want to say anything out loud, so she got her phone out of her pocket and typed out her problem so Cassandra could read it. After Cassandra read the text she gave Samantha an 'Oh shit. I'm sorry' look.
'Do you want to leave?' Cassandra typed then handed Samanthas phone back to her who then nodded yes after she looked at her phone. As Cassandra and Samantha got up to leave, they stopped when an alarm went off and the gate to the store closed, leaving Samantha and Cassandra in the coffee shop with the waitress and the man who exploited Samantha.
"GREAT, JUST GREAT! NOW I'M STUCK IN HERE WITH THIS JERK OFF!" Samantha exclaimed as she turned around and faced the man who exploited her.
"Excuse me?" The man asked in an upset tone.
"What? You don't remember the music book girl? What did you do with the money you got from selling the video, huh? Find more girls to exploit?" By now the waitress was listening intently but was interrupted by the sound of a gunshot, which caused all four occupants to drop to the floor while everyone else in the upstairs part of the mall were running in a panic while security guards tried to get them to stay calm and stay put.
"What the fuck was that?!" Samantha asked as she found herself between Andrew and Cassandra.
"Gunshot, and it sounded like it came from downstairs."
"Gunshot?! What the hell is going on down there?"
"I don't know, but I better call Eugene and tell him what's going on."
After a couple of rings Eugene answers.
"Hey Cass, what's up?"
"Well, we're in a coffee shop on the second floor of the mall and we're in lockdown."
"Lockdown?"
"Yeah, we heard a gunshot downstairs then all the store doors closed, and there's a bunch of people up here standing around, and security is trying to keep them calm, but that's all I know."
"Ok, I'm on my way."
While Eugene headed to the mall he called Stan on his cell phone.
"Stan?!"
"Eugene, we're on our way to the mall, one of the televangelists security guards pulled a gun on him."
"Fuck! Ok, I'm on my way!" Eugene hung up and quickly darted through traffic as he made his way to the mall.
When Eugene arrived the entrance was blocked by police, fire, and ambulance vehicles, along with a barricade. As mall patrons were being allowed to leave, Eugene was allowed to cross the baricade and talk to his boss.
"Captain, what's going on."
"Guy inside is a security guard by the name of Anthony Wesealton. He has a daughter that was born with the umbilical cord wrapped around her neck and the wife died from complications of childbirth. The girl was left with permanent severe brain damage, she's been in been with a live in caregiver ever since she was born."
"Let me guess. Send me a hundred dollars and I'll send you this pouch of miracle water."
"You too?"
"Yeah, I tried it when Rapunzel was diagnosed with cancer. Let me talk to him."
"Ok."
Eugenes' boss handed him a radio.
"ANTHONY WESEALTON! THIS IS SERGEANT EUGENE FITZHERBERT OF THE CORONA POLICE DEPARTMENT! I WANT TO COME IN AND TALK THIS OUT WITH YOU! I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE GOING THROUGH! HE DID THE SAME THING TO ME THAT HE DID TO YOU!"
Anthony was using a radio to communicate.
"You don't have the first clue what I'm going through. You don't know what it's like to watch your little girl suffer."
"NO, I DON'T! BUT I KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE TO WATCH SOMEONE DIE! WHEN MY WIFE WAS DIAGNOSED WITH OVARIAN CANCER, IT WAS MALIGNANT! IT METASTIZED AND SPREAD TO HER UTERUS AND THEN TO HER BREASTS! IT WAS HEART BREAKING! THEN ONE NIGHT I WAS WATCHING TELEVISION AND I SAW THIS COMMERCIAL FOR THIS MIRACLE SPRING WATER! I WAS DESPERATE FOR ANYTHING THAT WOULD GET MY WIFE TO BEAT HER CANCER, BUT IT DIDN'T WORK! SHE DIED SIX MONTHS AFTER SHE WAS DIAGNOSED!"
"I'm sorry to hear that, but your wife isn't suffering anymore."
"ANDREW, WHAT IS YOUR DAUGHTERS NAME?"
"Lucy."
"AND WHAT DOES LUCY DO WHEN SHE SEES YOU?"
"She looks at me and smiles."
'tell every officer out here to not fire unless they absolutley have to?"
'you got it eugene.'
Eugenes' boss motioned for the officers to stand down while Eugene continued to speak.
"YOU LOOK FORWARD TO THAT DON'T YOU?"
"Every day."
"SO THEN WHY ARE YOU WILLING TO THROW IT ALL AWAY FOR THIS SCUM? WHAT GOOD WILL IT DO FOR YOU TO TAKE HIS LIFE? HE'S JUST A SYMPTOM OF A VERY BAD DISEASE THAT WILL NEVER BE ERADICATED!"
"I'm just so mad, and angry......"
"I WAS TOO! HELL, I STILL AM! BUT IF YOU KILL HIM, NOT ONLY WILL YOU NEVER SEE YOUR DAUGHTER AGAIN, YOU'LL SEND THAT WORTHLESS PIECE OF TRASH TO HELL WHERE HE WILL BURN FOREVER, AND AS MUCH AS THAT WOULD PLEASE ME, WE BOTH KNOW THAT ISN'T THE WAY TO DO THIS!"
"Then how do I stop him?"
"YOU DON'T! YOU SURRENDER PEACEFULLY AND LET HIM GO! THEN WE'LL GET YOU SOME HELP AND GET YOU BACK TO YOUR DAUGHTER!"
"Will I do jail time?"
"YES, BUT IT WON'T BE NEARLY AS LONG AS THE TWENTY-FIVE TO LIFE YOU'LL DO IF YOU PULL THAT TRIGGER!"
"How much?"
"I DON'T KNOW! THAT'S NOT MY CALL! ALL I CAN TELL YOU IS, IF YOU EVER WANT TO SEE YOUR DAUGHTER AGAIN, YOU'LL LET HIM GO!"
"Fine." Anthony dropped his gun and was apprehended then escorted to a patrol car while Lenord was taken to an ambulance, on his way, he stopped to talk to Eugene.
"Thank you."
"Get out of my sight you piece of shit, before I finish what that poor man started."
As Lenord was led away everyone in the mall was allowed to leave. Eugene was nervous as he looked to see Samantha and Cassandra when his phone rang.
"Hello?" Eugene answered in an excited tone.
"Eugene, we're headed out. Where are you?"
"I'm at the front by the barricade. I managed to talk him into surrendering. There were no injuries."
"That's great news. We'll talk about it over ribs."
"Ribs?"
"Yeah, after this Sam and I need to get out of town for a while."
When they got to the rib shack that Cassandra and Eugene went to, they sat and talked about thier experiences.
"So Cass, how was the coffee shop before you got locked in?" Eugene asked as he wiped his fingers.
"It was good until we met the douche bag who exploited Samantha. She was laying into him when we heard a gunshot and we all hit the ground, but then, it strangely got better."
"How?" Eugene asked skeptically after he ate a chip.
"Sam..."
"I....was really scared. Cass tried to calm me down but she couldn't think of anything, and then out of the blue Andrew says, 'Come on guys. Let's pray.' I thought he was joking, but when he held out his hand I realized he was serious. So the four of us held hands and we prayed."
"What happened then?" Eugene asked as he finished off his baked potato.
"I....felt better. I was actually thankful for what he did. After it was over he apologized for what he did to me. He even said that he was a changed man, and that if he could go back that what he did would have never happened. I told him that I forgave him, and I felt like a weight was lifted off of my shoulders, I think he felt the same way too. After the door was unlocked and lifted out of the way, we left the mall and went our seperate ways."
"I just wish you could have found a job."
"I did. At the coffee shop where we were locked down. The waitress needs someone to work with her full time, and I accepted. She also writes music. So maybe I can get back into music after all."
"Awesome. Cass, you ok, you flew through your baked potato?"
"Yeah, I'm sorry. I guess I was just really hungry."
"Don't be. I just haven't seen you eat that fast before."
"So Eugene, how did it feel to be back at work?" Cassandra asked after she finished her tea.
"Well, it wasn't how I expected it to go, but it felt good to help someone?"
"What happened?"
"Security guard pulled a gun on Lenord, found out that his daughter was born with the umbilical cord wrapped around her neck which left her severly brain damaged, and the wife died during childbirth. He tried the same thing I did and it didn't work, and even though I wouldn't have lost any tears or any sleep if he had shot Lenord, I had to do my best to prevent any bloodshed."
"You're a special man Eugene, and we love you." Samantha said after she took a bite of her pickle.
"I love you girls too."
"So, what do you guys want to do now?" Eugene asked as he got his credit card out of his wallet to pay the ticket.
"Well, it's going to be a couple of more hours until the cleaners are done with the carpet, but by the time we get anywhere we....." Cassandra was interrupted when Eugenes' cell phone rang.
"Hello. He what? When? Ok Pete. Thanks for calling."
"Eugene? What happened?" Cassandra asked with concern in her voice.
"Lenord Wynn died after he lost control of his car and crashed into a gas station, he was burned alive." Eugene said casually.
"Are you ok?" Cassandra asked.
"Yeah, I feel fine. You girls ready?"
"Yeah. Sam, you ready?"
"Yeah."
Cassandra Samantha and Eugene left the restaurant and went about the rest of their day as a smile came over Eugenes' face.

Chapter Text
After Eugene Cassandra and Samantha left the restaurant, Eugene still seemed fine about what happened to Lenoard Wynn.
"Eugene, are you sure you're ok? I mean, a man burned to death in his car, with no hope of escape." Cassandra said as Eugene looked over his right shoulder as he backed out of the parking lot of the restaurant.
"Cass, as far as I'm concerned, it just got him ready for his new home, and I couldn't be less bothered by it." Eugene replied in a nonchalant tone, which bothered Samantha and Cassandra both. "As a matter of fact," Eugene added. "I'm going to stop by the police station and tell Anthony the good news."
When Eugene got to the police station he parked his car and quickly got out.
"You girls stay right here. I'll be back in a few minutes." Eugene said before he walked into the police station.
"Cass, what the fuck is wrong with him?" Samantha asked after Eugene went inside. "A man was literally burned alive and Eugene is acting like it's not a big deal."
"Sam, he's been through a lot of emotional psychological and spiritual trauma, and apparently he feels like divine justice was executed when Lenord crashed into that gas station."
"He did say he wouldn't have lost any tears or any sleep if Lenord had been shot."
When Eugene got inside the police station, he made his way over to the holding cell where Anthony was still being held. He was leaned over looking down at the gray concrete floor, he had his arms over his knees and his hands clasped together.
"Anthony?"
"Yeah?" Anthony said as he looked at Eugene with red eyes.
"I just thought you might want to know, Lenoard Wynn was killed this afternoon when he crashed into a gas station."
Eugene thought Anthony would be happy with the news, he wasn't.
"Officer, can I ask you something?" Anthony said as he stood up and put his hands on the bars of the cell door.
"Yeah, sure." Eugene replied casually.
"Is your wife still dead? Because mine is, and my daughter still has brain damage, and now, she's going to be put into a home until I get out of prison, and even then, she may be in there permanently. So forgive me if I'm not as happy about this as you are." After he finished speaking, Anthony sat back down in the same position he was in when Eugene walked in.
Eugene was silent for a moment before he turned and quietly left the police station.
"Baby, you ok?" Cassandra asked after Eugene got back in his car and slammed the door then put his hands on the steering wheel.
"I thought I would feel better hearing that he was dead, and I thought Anthony would feel better too, but you know what he said to me?"
"What?" Cassandra asked in a soft as she put her left hand on the back of Eugenes neck while Samantha watched quietly from the back seat.
"He asked me if my wife was still dead, because his was, and now his daughter is probably going to spend the rest of her life in a home."
"Eugene. I don't know what to tell you except, it's going to take time, a lot of time for you to heal, espically mentally and spiritually, and taking joy in another persons death, is only going to make things worse."
"Now I know what it's like to feel like an evil person, and I hate it." Eugene said as he wiped his eyes.
"Eugene, you are not an evil person." Cassandra said as she moved her hand from the back of Eugenes' neck to the back of his right shoulder. "You are a broken person who has went through a lot of psychological emotional and spitirual trauma, in a very short amount of time."
"Can I be fixed?" Eugene asked as he put his keys in the ignition.
"No. No one is ever 'fixed' after they've been through what you've been through, but we can help you get better."
"Can you drive?" Eugene asked after he took a deep breath.
"Sure, do you want to go home, or do you just want me to drive?"
"I don't know. Sam, when do you start your new job?"
"Tomorrow morning at nine A.M. and I get off work at seven P.M.
"And I start back tomorrow at seven A.M. and work until seven P.M." Eugene added.
"So....does that mean we're going home?...." Cassandra asked as she opened the passanger car door and stuck her right leg out.
"I'm good with staying out if you guys are." Samantha said.
"Eugene?" Cassandra said as she stood by the open passenger door.
"Fuck it. Sounds good to me." Eugene said as he got out of the car.
"That's all I need to know."
After Cassandra and Eugene switched places, Cassandra made sure Samantha and him were buckled before she started the car and drove away from the police station.
As Cassandra was driving, her Samantha and Eugene all saw the taped off gas pumps that Lenord Wynn crashed into.
"Cass, don't turn, go up to the station and stop." Eugene said as Cassandra turned on her left signal light.
"Eugene! This is not..."
"Just go straight! I have a good reason!" Eugene said with a raised voice, which caused Samantha to gulp nervously.
"Fine!"
When Cassandra got up to the gas station, Eugene looked out of his window and saw that something was very wrong.
"Alright Eugene, what do you want to do? Take a picture and have it framed?" Cassandra asked sarcastically.
"No, there's no skid marks. He made no effort to stop. He committed suicide. The man purposely sent himself to burn in the flames of Hell forever."
"Oh dear God!" Cassandra said as Samantha covered her mouth.
Yes, Lenord Wynn committed suicide, which, didn't help Eugene feel any better.
"Cass, let's just go home."
"Ok Eugene, whatever you need."
After the three friends made it home, Eugene quickly went inside while Samantha and Cassandra followed behind him. By the time Samantha and Cassandra got inside, Eugene was already in the shower.
"Suicide?" Samantha said after she sat down on the couch while Cassandra shut and locked the door before she joined her.
"Yeah, I don't believe it either, he must have been feeling bad about his lifestyle for a while."
"Must have, but, to send yourself straight to Hell?"
"Maybe he figured that was going to be his punishment, and he decided to get it over with."
"So.....what do you want to do?"
"I don't know. I figure after Eugene gets out of his shower we'll probably watch television and have supper before we go to bed."
"That sounds good." Samantha said as Cassandra turned on the television and started to flip through the channels.
"I've said this before, hundreds of channels, and nothing on to watch."
"You guys have any video game systems?"
"No, and Eugene wanted to buy himself one. I'll go to the electronics store tomorrow and by him a system, three controllers, and some games. Do you have any games you like?"
"Action games, driving games, things like that."
"Ok. I'll get a couple of driving games and a couple of sports games, and when you and Eugene get home from work I'll have it hooked up and ready to go for you guys, and I'll have you both something hot to eat, hopefully."
A few minutes later, Eugene came out of the shower.
"You two ladies ok?" Eugene asked as he stood in front of them wearing nothing but a pair of gym shorts.
"We're fine." Cassandra answered. "We were just trying to figure out how we were going to spend the rest of our afternoon. You have any ideas?"
"Not really. I'm still kinda trying to wrap my mind around Lenord Wynn commiting suicide."
"Sam and I talked about that too. I guess he figured he knew he was going to Hell when he died, so he didn't see any point in waiting."
"It's sad really. That's a horrific fate for anyone." Samantha added.
"And now I'm thinking about how Rapunzel would feel about it." Eugene said as he walked over and sat in between his girlfriends. After Eugene had sat down, Cassandra gave Eugene the remote.
"Here babe," Cassandra said as Samantha and her both snuggled up to him. "watch whatever you want to watch."
Eugene took the remote and started to flip through the channels only to stop when a sports story caught his eye.
"A block-buster trade took place this afternoon right before the trade deadline when the Arendelle Aeros of the Federation League sent Right Fielder Lucas Johnson, All-Star closer Octavio Perez, their 2017 first round pick, and cash to the Koto Cardinals for All-Star closer Hector Ramirez, which now gives the Arendelle Areos what could be quite possibly the most dominant bullpen in World Baseball League history, and automatically makes them favroites to win their fifth straight World Series Championship."
Eugene turned off the television and tossed the remote down onto the table in frustration after he watched the Arendelle Areos basically win another World Series championship.
"You see what I mean?" Eugene said after he stood up and faced his girlfriends while he gestured at the T.V. with his arms. "Just when I think Arendelle can't get any better, they go and do this."
"Eugene, try not to get upset. Maybe the Cubs will make a move that will combat this one." Cassandra said as she stood up and put her right hand on Eugenes' upper back.
"Even if they do make a move, it won't do them any good."
Neither Cassandra or Samantha knew what else to say that would help Eugene feel better, espically Samantha, being a musician, she knew less about sports than Cassandra did, and Cassandra didn't know much. Still, she tried anyway.
"Eugene?" Samantha said as she got up and stood in front of him. "I'm not going to lie to you and tell you that I understand why you're upset, because I don't, but.....oh God I'm going to sound so stupid....uhh..."
"Hey, I know what you're trying to say, and thank you." Eugene said so Samantha wouldn't feel embarrassed.
"You're welcome. So.....now what are we going to do?"
"Eugene, do you mind if I use your computer? I have something I want to look up."
"Yeah, sure, I don't care."
After Eugene gave Cassandra his password, she gave him a thanks and a peck on the cheek before she went into his bedroom and closed the door.
"I wonder what she wants to look up?" Eugene asked Samantha as they sat back down beside each other on the couch.
"Search me, maybe she wants to read up on the history of civil defence sirens."
"What is your fascination with those anyway?" Eugene asked with genuine curiousity.
"I'm not sure what got me started, but I've been intrested in them and how they work ever since I was a kid."
"How does that one that looks like a toilet work?"
"Air is sucked into the bottom horn and turned into sound by way of a chopper before it is forced out the top horn."
"Chopper, you mean like a giant fan?"
"Yes, exactly." Samantha said with a smile.
So, do they have like, different names?" Eugene asked as Samantha and him sat back down on the couch.
"Yes, they do. For example, the one everyone calls a 'toilet', is actually called an ACA Allertor."
"Cool. So......" Samantha could tell by Eugene trailing off that something else was already on his mind.
"You're curious about what Cass is looking up, aren't you?"
"Very, do you know what it is?"
"Not a clue, but even if I did know, I wouldn't tell you."
"Oh, so she's looking up something for me?"
"I didn't say that. You're only assuming that she is. What if she's looking up something for me, or for herself?"
"I guess you're right. I can always look up the history later."
"Eugene, you know she's smart enough to delete whatever it is she looks up, right?"
"I can still find it."
"How?"
"I'm an officer. I have my ways."
"Let's say you found what she looked up and it was a suprise for you? How would you feel knowing you ruined her suprise?"
"It's not like I would tell her I knew. Besides, she bought me a car. I seriously doubt she's looking up something else to buy me."
A couple of minutes later, Cassandra came out of Eugenes' bedroom with a happy look on her face.
"So, Cass, did you find what you were looking for?" Eugene asked curiously.
"I did, and if I want you to know what it is I looked up. I'll tell you."
"So it is something for me."
"Yes, but I'm not going to tell you what it is, so you're just going to have to wait until it gets here."
"Wait, you really bought me something else after buying me a car?"
"Yes, well, I actually bought you a few somethings, and I bought some things for Sam as well."
"Cass, what am I going to do with you?" Eugene asked as Cassandra sat between Samantha and him.
"Love me and keep me?" Cassandra asked as she looked at Eugene.
"I guess I can do that." Eugene said with a smile before he leaned over and kissed Cassandra twice on the lips. "I love you girls." Eugene said as he stretched his arms across the back of the couch.
"Eugene, you must really like that dark chocolate?" Cassandra asked as she looked at him.
"I do. It's my favroite spray on deodorant."
"Remind we when I go shopping this weekend and I'll buy you some more."
"Ok."
"So, Eugene, you ready to go back to work?" Cassandra asked as a replay of a basketball game played on the television.
"I guess since I've already defused a hostage situation, I've already started back. A lot of good it did me."
Cassandra put her right hand on Eugenes' left before she spoke.
"Eugene, you can't control what another person does. Lenord has no one to blame but himself for where he is right now. Besides, you kept a man from committing a crime that would have kept him from ever seeing his daughter again, and even if she has to spend the rest of her life in a home, at least he'll get to see her when he gets out of prison."
"That's true. You think Rapunzel would have been pleased with how I handled the situation?"
"I don't think she would have been pleased with you not caring if Lenord went to Hell, but I think she would have been pleased with there not being any blood shed."
"True. I guess I can take some comfort in that."
Ring. Ring. Eugene picked his cell phone up off of the table, opened it, and put it up to his ear. "Hello......wait, what?......you're kidding?.....ok Pete, thanks for calling."
"Baby, what was that about?" Cassandra asked as Eugene closed his phone and laid it back down on the table.
"The one bullet that Anthony fired, was a blank, apparently he just wanted to scare Lenord, but Lenord commiting suicide will never make sense to me."
"I've heard it said that suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem," Cassandra said, "and I'm going to tell you two something that I've never told anyone else. For weeks after I left Corona, I thought I was the lowest piece of trash on the planet, and during those weeks I had dark, as well as suicidal thoughts, and then after I was raped, I tried to commit suicide." The eyes of Eugene and Samantha widened when they heard Cassandras' confession.
"You what?!" Eugene interjected.
"I woke up the next morning in my apartment and looked at the bottle of pain pills that were sitting on my night stand. I opened the bottle and put four of them in my mouth then went to my bathroom and filled a drinking cup with water so I could swallow them down.
Then I went back to my bed and waited to fall asleep and never wake up, but that didn't happen, instead, about a half an hour later, my belly started to cramp in a way it had never cramped before while my face became hot and covered in sweat, the next thing I knew I was sitting up in my bed throwing up, and there in a pool of my own vomit, was the four pills I took, and for what ever reason, be it divine intervention or otherwise, I survived.
After I composed myself, I cleaned myself up and put on fresh clothes then took care of my blankets, once I had thoroughly washed and dried them, I remade my bed before I crushed the remaining pills and flushed them down my toilet before I decided to go to town, and as I went out my door, my cell phone rang, and it was you, Eugene, calling me to tell me that Rapunzel only had a couple of weeks left at the most, and that she wanted me by her side."
After Cassandra was done with her confession, Samantha got emotional while Eugene and Cassandra hugged.
"You don't still feel suicidal, do you?" Eugene asked after they hugged.
"No, God no, not since I came back to Corona, but if I start having suicidal thoughts again, I'll let both of you guys know."
"Why didn't you call me and tell me what was going on?" Eugene asked as thunder rumbled outside.
"Because, I thought I deserved what was happeneing to me, and that, if I had of asked for help, I would have been rejected."
"Cass, I can't speak for Rapunzels' parents, may God rest their souls, but I would have done whatever I could have to help you, and Rapunzel would have too."
"I know Eugene. Now that I've thoroughly bared my soul, why don't we find something else to watch?" Cassandra said as thunder clapped loudly over the house, which caused Cassandra to grab ahold of Eugene. "Sorry, I really need to stop doing that, it's just a sound."
"It's ok Cass." Eugene said as Cassandra let go of him and faced the television. While Eugene Samantha and Cassandra were watching television, there was a bright flash of lighting right outside their house followed by the power going out.
"Well, shit!" Eugene said as he picked up his phone and dialed the Corona Power Company. While Eugene pressed one on his phone and proceeded to report the outage to the power company, Samantha got up and looked out the living room window as the wind started to pick up.
"Eugene, how long is the power going to be out?" Cassandra asked as Eugene got up off the couch.
"Six to eight hours, which means we're going out for dinner. I'm going to go get dressed."
While Eugene went to his bedroom, Samantha left the curtain open and sat back down by Cassandra as the storm started to let up.
"That was quick." Samantha said as the sky quickly cleared up.
"Not quick enough."
"I'm sorry Cass."
"It's ok. It's my irrational fear."
"So, where do you want to go for supper tonight?"
"I don't know, let's see where Eugene wants to go."
A few minutes later, Eugene came out his bedroom wearing a plain red T-Shirt, and cargo jeans with red tennis shoes.
"You girls know where you want to go for dinner?" Eugene asked as he walked back into the living room.
"No, I told Sam that we should wait and see where you wanted to go first."
"You know, you two can pick places too, there's not a restaurant in Corona, or in the surrounding cities, that I won't try at least once."
"Well.....uh.....Sam? You have any places in mind?"
"I don't know, how bad is the power outage?"
"Just this addition." Eugene said as he picked his wallet and keys up off of the table and put his wallet in his back pocket.
"How about Chinese?" Samantha suggested after she stood up.
"Sounds good to me, Eugene?"
"Sure, let's go. Cass, you want to take baby?"
"Sure. Speaking of, how are we going to do this in the morning?"
"I'm taking my car to work and you can take Sam to work and then do whatever it is you need to do."
"Well, I guess that'll work," Cassandra said in a slightly disappointed tone. "but I was hoping to have you both something hot to eat when you guys got home."
"Ok. Sam, do you mind waiting after your shift is over for me to come pick you up?"
"I don't care." Samantha answered casually.
"Then it's settled. Let's kill some time then eat some Chinese food, and hopefully by then the power will be back on."
"How are we going to kill five hours with no power?" Cassandra asked while she stretched her arms. "I don't think any of us really want to go to the mall, not after everything that's happened." Cassandra added as she put her hands behind her head.
"You're right about that." Eugene said.
"We could take a nap, but then we probably won't sleep tonight, and Eugene and I have work tomorrow." Samantha added.
"God this sucks. Eugene, why did you let the power go out?" Cassandra asked sarcastically.
"I figured we could use your bright personality to light up the room." Eugene retorted with a smile, to which Cassandra replied with a mocking look on her face only for Eugene to suddenly feel his stomach drop and become convicted about his remark, much to Cassandras' suprise.
"Cass, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have made a joke like that, not after everything you've been through."
"Eugene, it's ok. It was just a joke, and a funny one." Cassandra replied with a laugh.
"Still, I should have been more considerate." Cassandra stood up, walked over to Eugene, and wrapped her arms around his waist as she faced him.
"Eugene Fitzherbert. I love you, and you are quite possibly the most considerate kind compassionate and forgiving man I've ever met in my life. You allowed me back into your life when you didn't have to, and I will be forever greatful."
"You allowed me in too, and I will also be forever greatful." Samantha said while she walked over to Eugene and stood by his right side.
"Ladies I am a truly lucky man."
"And we're a couple of lucky ladies." Cassandra added.
"Crap!" Cassandra exclaimed, remembering the food in the freezeer. "Eugene, is there anything in your freezer that you can think of that might spoil before we get our power restored?"
"No, not that I can think of."
"Ok, well if it does I'll just replace it when I go shopping this weekend."
"Cass, are you going to be ok being by yourself after Sam and I start working?" Eugene asked in a serious tone.
"Yeah, I've got more than enough things to do to keep my mind occupied, and your suprise will be here tomorrow. I'll be fine. I promise."
"Are you sure? Because I can talk to my Captain and be put on a different shift." Eugene didn't intend to, but he upset Cassandra.
"I said I'll be okay!" Cassandra said as she stepped back from Eugene.
"I'm sorry Cass. I......didn't mean to upset you." Eugene said apologetically.
"I'm sorry too. I shouldn't have jumped you, you were just looking out for me."
"Hey guys, why don't we go bowling, or go play mini golf?" Samantha suggested as she tried to get the minds of Cassandra and Eugene on to something else.
"Since it just rained, we should probably do bowling." Cassandra replied with her arms folded across her breasts.
"Sounds good to me, Sam?"
"I'm good with bowling."
Their decision made, Cassandra Samantha and Eugene took off to the bowling alley, but it wouldn't take long after they arrive for Cassandra to run into trouble.
Chapter 24: Sick stomach
Summary:
Cassandra gets sick in the parking lot of the bowling alley, after going to a pharmacy and buying some stomach medicine and a pregnancy test, she returns to the bowling alley and makes history. After dinner, Cassandra Samantha and Eugene return home where Cassandra goes into the bathroom and takes her test.
Notes:
Chapter contains vomiting and a brief mention of suicide. Also, Cassandra misinterprets a question from Eugene which gets him an upset look from her.
Chapter Text
"Hey guys," Cassandra said as she pulled into the parking lot of the Crown Lanes bowling alley. "I'm Chinesed out, is there anywhere else either of you want to go?"
"I thought you said it sounded good to you?" Eugene asked as the three friends got out of the car.
"I did, but now it suddenly doesn't. I don't even want to smell it. I'm sorry if you guys are mad at me." Cassandra answered while she held her stomach.
"No one's mad." Samantha added. "There's plenty of other places we can go. Cass, you ok?"
"No, I'm going to throw up, and I'm not going to be able to make it to a bathroom." Cassandra bent forward and dropped her purse to the ground before she lost the baked potato she had for lunch.
"Sam, go inside and tell them what happened and bring her back some bottled water and some hand towels." Eugene said while he checked on Cassandra.
"Cass...." Eugene paused and put his hands on Cassandras' shoulders while she threw up again.
"Did you eat your lunch too fast?" Eugene asked. Cassandra looked up at Eugene with a look on her face that told him she was annoyed by his qusetion, and that the answer should have been more than obvious. "Sorry." Eugene replied quietly. About that time Samantha came out of the bowling alley with a bottle of water, some hand towles, and an employee.
"I'm very sorry about all of this." Cassandra said after she stood up, wiped her face, and took a drink of water.
"It's quite all right." The employee answered. "We'll take care of this. Is there anything else you need?"
"No. I should be ok. You guys go inside and have some fun. I'm going to go to the drug store and get some stomach medicine and then I'll join you guys." Cassandra picked her purse up off of the ground and handed Eugene a hundred dollar bill.
"Ok Cass, you be careful." Eugene said while he opened the car door and helped Cassandra get in.
"I will be." After Cassandra left the bowling alley Samantha and Eugene just kind of looked at each other before they turned and went inside the bowling alley.
"You want to just play some pool or something until Cassandra gets back?" Eugene asked, not really in the mood to bowl.
"Yeah, that sounds like fun." Once inside the bowling alley, Eugene went up to the counter and got change for the hundred before going over to the pool tables.
"Ok Sam, what version of pool do you want to play?"
"Eight ball is fine."
While Samantha and Eugene were playing pool, Cassandra was walking down the digestive health aisle of the pharmacy talking to herself while looking for some stomach medicine.
"Mmmmmm, let's see. I've never really dealt with throwing up before, not since...anyway, which kind of stomach medicine should I get....uhhhhh..." Cassandra looked up when she heard a womans' voice beside her.
"Miss, may I help you?" The woman, whose name was Cindy, and an employee of the pharmacy asked.
"Yeah," Cassandra said as she looked at the woman and then looked back at the array of stomach medicines. "I had problems with my stomach earlier that I've never really dealt with before, and so I was looking for the best stomach medicine to get.
"What happened?" Cindy asked curiously.
"I had a baked potato for lunch, and it was really good, cooked perfectly and everything, but for some reason I scarfed it down, and I'm pretty sure that's why I got sick."
"Have you ever eaten anything too fast before?"
"No....not that I can think of."
"How did you feel afterwards?"
"Like I was full as a tick, which is odd, because I've," Cassandra got emotional and her heart rate increased before she continued to speak. "....oh my God.....you don't think I'm.....no....it isn't possible....there's no way....."
"You want to know for sure? We have a vast selection of pregnancy tests, all of them with a 99.9% accuracy rate." Cindy said while she rested her right hand on the back of Cassandras' tense left shoulder.
"Yes.....I do." Cassandra said, wiping her eyes with a cloth she had gotten out of her purse.
"Come on, I'll show you where they are."
After being led to the sexual health aisle, Cassandra was left alone to her thoughts.
'I don't believe this. Not only did that bastard Hans rape me, he probably got me pregnant, ok Cass, try and calm down, you haven't even taken a test yet, but, what if I am pregnant? I mean, I wanted to be, but I wanted Samantha to get me pregnant.....not the self-centered asshole who raped me. At least I have people in my life who love me and support me.'
Cassandras' thoughts then went back to the night she tried to commit suicide.
'Oh God, if I would have committed suicide, I would have killed my unborn baby as well....if I'm even pregnant.'
Cassandra grabbed a paternity test and some stomach medicine before making her way to the checkout. After she paid for her items she got back inside her car and quickly sighed in her drivers seat before she started her car and drove back to the bowling alley, and she wasn't going to say a word to Samantha or Eugene unless she absolutley had to.
When Cassandra got back to the bowling alley she went back inside and went over to where Samantha and Eugene were playing pool.
"Hey guys." Cassandra said while Eugene racked the balls before starting another game.
"Hey Cass, you feeling better?" Samantha asked while Eugene prepared to break.
"Yes. I'm feeling much better." Cassandra lied, she was more than nervous, and was doing her best to hide it. "You guys want to bowl after this game?"
"Sure." Samantha answered before she went to take her shot. "Damn! Scratched again!" Samantha said after she watched the cue ball bounce off of the seven ball and roll into the corner pocket, which drew a chuckle and a sarcastic, "Nice shot." from Eugene.
"You guys playing nine or eight ball?" Cassandra asked after she sat down in a chair by the pool cues.
"Eight ball." Samantha answered, still annoyed by her mistake.
While Cassandra watched the game of pool, she could feel guilt from lying to Samantha and Eugene, so she excused herself.
"Guys, I'm going to go to the bathroom and wash my face, I'll be back in a couple of minutes." After Cassandra got up and went to the bathroom, Eugene gave Samantha a knowing look.
"What?" Samantha asked before she took her shot.
"She's lying." Eugene said confidently while he leaned on his pool cue and watched how Cassandra walked to the bathroom.
"How can you tell?"
"Body language. She's been nervous ever since she walked in here."
The game took a back seat as Eugene and Samantha both became concerned about Cassandra.
"What do you think she's trying to hide?" Samantha asked as Eugene and her put up their pool cues.
"I don't know, but I'm not going to push anything, she'll tell us when she's ready."
While Cassandra was washing her face, the feeling of guilt she had slowly went away.
"I should be ok now. Eugene probably knows I'm hiding something anyway." Cassandra said to herself while she wiped her face and fixed her hair.
Cassandra left the bathroom and joined Samantha and Eugene who already had a bowling lane picked out along with her bowling shoes.
"Hey guys." Cassandra said before she slowly sat down and changed her shoes.
"Cass, you going to be able to bowl?" Eugene asked while he typed the names into the computer.
"Yeah, my belly is just a little tight from me getting sick earlier." Cassandra answered while she picked out a bowling ball.
During the game, Cassandra was very quiet and reserved, despite the fact that at the halfway mark, she had a comfortable lead, and had bowled a strike in all of her frames.
"Cass, you're smiling too much, cut it out." Eugene said sarcastically after he bowled his frame in an attempt to get Cassandra to smile.
"Eugene, she already said she doesn't feel good." Samantha chided before she took her turn bowling.
"It's ok Sam," Cassandra said in a lighthearted tone as she stood up. "he's just trying to get me to smile, which, I guess I should, since I'm destroying both of you. Hey, what do I get if I bowl a perfect game?"
"Probably your picture on the wall and a short story in the sports section of the paper." Eugene said before he took his turn to bowl while Samantha walked over and sat down by Cassandra.
"Sam, could you do me a favor?" Cassandra asked while Samantha bent over and retied her shoes.
"Yeah sure. What do you need?"
"Could you get me a lemon lime soda to drink, preferably a diet one, and a chicken sandwich, if they have one?"
"Sure. I'll be right back."
"Thanks Sam."
"No problem."
While Samantha went to the concession stand, Eugene finished his turn and sat down by Cassandra who was looking at the floor, and had her hands folded between her knees.
"Your turn." Eugene said as he swatted Cassandra on her left shoulder. Cassandra got up without saying a word, rolled another strike, and sat back down just as Samantha made it back with her chicken sandwich and lemon lime soda.
"Here you go Cass." Samantha said softly. "Thank you." Cassandra said as she took her sandwich and drink.
Cassandra finished her sandwich and drink then took her turn to bowl, another strike, and she was starting to draw a crowd, which only made her more nervous, but she kept her cool and only needed one more strike to bowl a perfect game.
Cassandra walked up to the line, took a few steps back, stepped up to the line with her arm back, and released, the ball hit the pins slightly more to the right than Cassandra wanted, she, along with everyone else, held their breath as they watched a pin roll up to the ten pin, and nudge it just enough, to knock it over, Cassandra had done it, she became the first woman in the thirty year history of Crown Lanes to bowl a perfect game.
"Cass, you did it!" Samantha and Eugene both exclaimed while they hugged a slightly excited Cassandra. "Come on, let's go get your picture made for the paper." Samantha said excitedly. Cassandra, along with her trophy, had her picture taken for the paper, she even said a few words about her history making performance: "To be honest, I wasn't even thinking about it being a possibility until after the halfway point, but the pins kept falling and I started to draw a crowd, which only made me nervous, but I still bowled a perfect game and here we are."
Even though Cassandra gave her short interview with a smile, her stomach was in knots, and it had nothing to do with her bowling, it had everything to do with the test she knew she had to take later that night after Samantha and Eugene were fast asleep, if she could keep it from them.
"Guys, I'm getting tired, can we go and get some dinner now?" Cassandra asked while Samantha Eugene and her walked back to their bowling lane.
"Sure, Sam?" Eugene asked.
"Yeah, I am getting hungry, and we all need to get in bed early." Samantha said before helping Eugene put up the bowling balls.
"Cass, can you think of anything that sounds good?" Eugene asked while they all changed their shoes.
"Mexican, I suddenly have this huge craving for mexican food." Cassandra answred while she picked up her purse and bowling shoes.
"Sam, you good with mexican?" Eugene asked while they walked up to the counter.
"Yeah, that actually sounds good."
"Ok, let's go get some mexican food."
While Cassandra and her friends are making their way to her car, she remembers that she left her sack from the pharmacy in the front passenger seat. 'Crap.' Cassandra said to herself. 'I can't believe I forgot about my bag, maybe they won't notice the pregnancy test that's in there.'
When they get to the car, Cassandra gets in first and puts her bag in the floorboard behind her seat, unfoutunately, Eugene caught a glimpse of something that he knew wasn't stomach medicine.
'I knew she was hiding something.' Eugene said to himself while Samantha and him got into the car and buckled up.
When they got to the restaurant, there was only a handful of empty parking spaces. It was a big crowd, for a Wednesday afternoon.
"Ok guys," Cassandra said after she parked her car. "You want to wait here while I go in and see how long the wait will be for a table?"
"Nah." Samantha answered. "We'll just go in with you."
As the three friends got out of the car and made their way to the restaurant, Eugene started to try and think of what else could have been in Cassandras' bag.
'Let's see, what else could she have bought.....whatever it is isn't very big.... I don't know, and I'm not going to ask her. If she wants me or Sam to know, she'll tell us, but I am going to tell Sam I was right about Cassandra lying. I just wish she would have just told us what was bothering her, I mean, we're all here for each other, and no one is going to judge her.'
After Cassandra and her friends got seated, her heart was beating hard in her chest while she looked over her menu, all she could think about was the pregnancy test she was going to take later that night.
"Cass, baby, what's wrong? You know you can tell us anything." Samantha said while Cassandra poured some salsa for her chips.
Cassandra looked at her and Eugene and sighed before she answered quietly.
"I think I'm pregnant, and it's not yours, or Eugenes'. It's Hans' the asshole who raped me."
Sam and Eugene looked at each other before Eugene spoke.
"So.....if you are pregnant, what are you going to do?"
Cassandra was baffled at the question, and didn't hesitate to give Eugene a cross stern look.
"I'm sorry." Eugene said. "I didn't mean that. What I meant was, are you going to find Hans and tell him that you're pregnant with his child?"
"Hell no. I don't want anything to do with him ever again. He doesn't have any right to know about this."
"Ok, and I'm sorry. I should have worded my question differently. I've always had a problem with that."
"It's ok Eugene. We'll work on it." Cassandra said before she looked at her menu.
"Now....ohhhh this looks good, steak fajitas with sautèed onions, bell peppers, and shrimp, served with a hard or soft taco refried beans and rice. Well, I know what I'm having." Cassandra closed her menu and placed it down in front of her then took a drink of her cola. "I think I'm going to get some white cheese dip too." She added.
"Cass, are you sure that's not too much beef for you?" Samantha asked, remembering that Cassandra said she couldn't eat a lot of beef.
"I'm going to get a small portion, so I should be ok. What are you going to have?"
Samantha looked at her menu and quickly made her decision.
"I'm going to have the roasted vegetables."
Samantha and Cassandra both looked at Eugene who had a blank stare on his face. Samantha gently nudged him to get his attention.
"Sorry." Eugene said while he rubbed his face with the palm of his right hand. "I was thinking about Rapunzel."
"You going to be ok?" Cassandra asked while Eugene wiped his eyes and took a drink of his cola.
"Yeah, every once in a while I think that I could have done more for her, but, you already know that."
"It's ok Eugene. Just don't become obsessed with it, you'll only put yourself through more unnecessary mental anguish, just try and focus on the happy parts of your marriage.....oh, and we may have to start getting ready to add a new addition to our family, albeit, not the way I intended. I'm sorry Sam. I know you were looking forward to getting me pregnant." Cassandra said.
"It's ok Cass, it wasn't your fault. Why didn't you press charges?"
"I went to the police, but nothing ever came of it, but when your mother is Zhan Tiri, the mayor of Saporia, I guess you can get by with things like that, and to top it all off, I'm going to have his baby while he's probably raping other women and getting by with it. We need to talk about something else, before we're all too pissed to eat."
After Cassandra and her friends made it home, Cassandra took her pregnancy test and went to the bathroom, after she followed the instructions, she laid the test down flat on the sink and nervously waited as time seemed to slow to a crawl then finally, Cassandra covered her mouth after she got her results, she took her test and showed it to Samantha and Eugene.
"Guys. It's positive. I'm pregnant."
They all three looked at each other and hugged, knowing that in a few short months their lives were going to change forever.

Chapter Text
The moring after finding out she was pregnant, Cassandra-who was wearing a t-shirt and shorts-was up before sunrise cooking breakfast for her Samantha and Eugene when Samantha walked into the kitchen wearing a pink tank top and pink shorts.
"Good morning." Samantha said as Cassandra put some bacon onto fry.
"Good morning." Cassandra replied, turning around to give Samantha a long kiss.
"Smells really good in here." (Samantha said aftet Cassandra and her kissed.) "What all are you cooking?"
"Bacon, eggs, pancakes, sausages, biscuits and gravy, and I may even fry up some potatoes."
"Goddamn! You want some help!?" Samantha exclaimed, backing away from the stove.
"Yeah. You can start setting the table for me." Cassandra said as she started to fry the sausage patties then checked the biscuits that were in the oven.
"How long have you been up?" Samantha asked after she set the table and got herself a canned soda.
"Since three in the morning. I had a hard time sleeping. So I watched the news before I decided to start breakfast."
"Anything intresting?"
"No, just a story on bunch of prosperity preachers talking about the death of Lenoard Wynn, and how a man of God left this earth too soon."
"They really are that blind aren't they?"
"No. They know what they're doing, but like I said before, they just don't care. And it pisses me off."
"I'm sorry Cass. Is there anything I can do?"
"No. I should have watched a replay of a baseball game, which reminds me, the Arendelle Aeors have the best record in baseball, and none of the experts are picking them to even lose a game once they make the playoffs." Cassandra said.
"Cass, it's ok to be angry." Samantha said as Cassandra looked through the pantry. "I know that you're mad about what happened to you."
"I'm not mad. I'm pissed. The last thing I wanted was to get pregnant by that scumbag, but, there isn't much I can do about it accept hope that we raise my baby to not be anything like his or her sperm donor."
"Cassandra, Eugene and you are two kind and compassioniate people. I'm sure your baby will grow up to be just fine."
"Thank you Samantha. That really means a lot to me." (Cassandra said, closing the door to the pantry before walking back to the stove.) "Eugene doesn't have any potatoes, so I'm going to buy a bag when I go shopping on saturday."
"Speaking of Eugene, what did you buy him yesterday?" Samantha asked as Cassandra got the biscuits out of the oven and sat them on the counter by the stove.
"Corona Cubs playoff tickets, and don't you dare say a word." (Cassandra said seriously, and with a whisper.) "I also bought him the new GameStation 4 along with some sports games, and I got you a couple of driving games and racing games, and I got three controllers."
"Wow! Eugene is going to love going to watch the Cubs play!"
"Well, I hope he asks us to go with him. I've never been to a baseball game before and I'd kinda like to go."
"I'd like to go too. You think he'd take us to a football game as well?"
"He might if we ask him. Now go and get him up while I get breakfast plated and the drinks poured."
"Ok."
"Eugene, time to get up." Samantha said as she went into the bedroom.
"Huh? What time is it?" Eugene asked as he sat up.
"Five o'clock, and Cassandra almost has breakfast cooked."
"Ok." Eugene got out of bed and put on a clean t-shirt and shorts before joining Samantha and Cassandra-who was plating up their breakfasts-in the kitchen.
"Morning ladies." Eugene said as he sat down at the kitchen table.
"Morning Eugene." Cassandra said, sitting Samanthas' and Eugenes' plates down on the kitchen table then plating her breakfast before she sat down to join them. Eugene looked at Cassandra and could tell she was more than tired.
"Cass, you ok?"
"No. I didn't sleep hardly at all last night, and yes, it's mostly what you think."
"I'm sorry Cass. Is there anything I can do?" Eugene said as he peppered his eggs and gravy.
"No. I'm going to find an OB/GYN after I take Samantha to work and make absolutley sure I'm pregnant, then I'm going to see about getting some sleep medicine, and I'm only going to take what I'm supposed to take. I've got a baby in my womb. I'm not going to do anything stupid."
"We know Cass." (Samantha said after she took a drink of her orange juice.) "We didn't say you would."
"I know. I guess I'm just a little antsy."
"It's ok Cass," (Eugene said.) "Samantha and I are here for you, and whatever you need we'll do our best to get it for you."
"Thanks guys. I really appreciate it."
After breakfast, Cassandra took Samantha to work while Eugene left for work in his car.
"So, you nervous?" Cassandra asked as she pulled into the parking lot of Corona Mall.
"No, but I guess I should be, given what happened the last time we were here, but hopefully it won't happen again."
"I hope it doesn't either. Love you Sam, have a good day."
"I love you too Cass." Samantha said before kissing her girlfriend and going into the Mall.
After Cassandra made sure Samantha had made it inside, she took out her phone and started to look for OB/GYNs.
"No, no, no..... oh she looks like a good one. M. Gothel, and she along with the two other OB/GYNs with her have four point eight out of five stars. I'll call her office and see if I can walk in or if I have to make an appointment."
Cassandra dialed her phone and waited for an answer, after a couple of rings she heard a young womans' voice on the other end of the line.
"Hello, this is Dr. Gothels' office, my name is Faith, how may I be of service to you today."
"Yes, my name is Cassandra Williams and I need to come in for a pregnancy test, and I was wondering if I need to make an appointment or if I can walk in."
"You have to make an appointment."
"Ok, is there any chance I can make an appointment to see Dr. Gothel this afternoon?"
"Uh, let me see.......yes ma'am Dr.Gothrl is free from after lunch until closing."
"Excellent. I'll be up there after lunch."
"Ok, you have a blessed day."
"I will. You too."
"Bye."
"Bye-bye."
After Cassandra hung up her phone she breathed a nervous sigh as she put her phone in her purse and then left the mall to enjoy her free time until her appointmemt.
"Uh let's see. What can I do to kill six hours?" Cassandra asked herself as she sat at the traffic light leaving the mall.
"I could go home and wait on Eugenes' packages, but my phone will give me a notification when they arrive at Eugenes' house, so that would be pointless. I could kill some time bowling, see if I can bowl another perfect game again."
The light turned green and Cassandra left the mall.
"I don't know. Nothing sounds fun when I'm doing it by myself, well, there is one thing that's fun when you do it alone, but I'll have two nice sized cocks to please when Eugene and Sam get home, so I'll just wait until tonight. Except now I'm thinking of watching Eugene fuck Sams' tight round ass with his cock, oh and mine too, damn I'm starting to get wet. I'm going home so I can relieve myself."
Once Cassandra got home she quickly went inside and locked the door behind her before going to the couch and removing her clothes. Once she was naked she fingered herself with her right hand while she played with her hard nipples with her left.
"Fuck this feels good. I just wish Sam and Eugene were here so I could watch them fuck while I got myself off. Ah God I'm going to cum." Cassandra sped up the rubbing of her clit and covered her mouth as she came and squrited on the coffee table.
"Shit! Fuck that felt good!" (Cassandra said as she sunk down into the couch with her legs spread, taking notice of the wet coffee table.) "Fuck, guess I'll clean the table and then clean the cushions, and since it's just me here I think I'll stay naked."
After Cassandra got up she sprayed the coffee table and wiped her juice off then she sprayed the cushions with stain remover and wiped them clean with a cloth.
A few minutes later Cassandra was sitting in the floor naked with her legs crossed watching television when her phone dinged, followed by a knock on the door. Cassandra went to Eugenes' bedroom and threw on a tank top and shorts before going to the door and answering it. After signing for Eugene and Samanthas' packages she took them inside and closed the door behind her.
"Ok, now to set up this gaming system and see if it works."
After Cassandra got the game box open she took out the system and the individual bags that contained the wires she would need, along with the instructions.
"Well this seems simple enough." Cassandra said, looking at the diagrams on the instructions. She went to hook up the wires and everything was going smoothly until Cassandra put in a basketball game and turned on the system. She was looking through some of the games features only to find that they required an internet connection, she looked at her phone and realized that it was almost time to get ready for her appointment, so she wouldn't have time to wait to get the internet hooked up, so would have to wait until the next day.
After dressing herself in a black skirt and a white button-up shirt, Cassandra left to go to Dr. Gothels' office. When she arrived she was able to sign-in and fill out the approiate forms before being taken back to an exam room. Cassandra sat on the bed and hummed while she waited for Dr. Gothel, a few minutes later the door opened.
"Hello, I'm Dr. Gothel, and you must be Cassandra." The tall middle-aged woman said as Cassandra and her shook hands.
"Yes." Cassandra said nervously, putting her palms dowm at her sides.
"Now don't be nervous." (Dr. Gothel said, taking a rolling stool.) "Everything is going to go fine. Now you say you took an at home pregnancy test and it came back positive?"
"Yes ma'am, and I just want a second opinion."
"Very well. Just lay on your back and expose your entire belly for me and we'll get started."
After Cassandra laid on her back she lifted up her shirt and pushed her dress down to just above her vagina. After Cassandra was ready Dr. Gothel spread a clear water based gel on Cassandras' belly and pelvic area, causing Cassandra to shudder.
"I'm sorry. I should have told you that the gel might be cold."
"It's ok." Cassandra said, facing the ceiling while Dr. Gothel scanned Cassandras' belly and pelvic area.
"Cassandra?"
"Yes Dr. Gothel."
"Would you like to see your baby?"
"My what?" (Cassandra asked, turning her head to see her baby on a monitor.) "Oh my God! It's so tiny!" Cassandra said, looking at the monitor.
"It is the size of a grain of rice, but it won't be long until it starts growing. Now I want you back here in a month, by then we should be able to see development of the fetus and pick up a heart beat. Now I assume you've already been taking prenatal vitamins?" Dr. Gothel asked as she put away the monitor and wiped off Cassandras' belly.
"Uh...no. My pregnancy wasn't planned. It wasn't even discussed. You know what, it's a story I don't want to get into right now." Cassandra said with frustration in her voice as she sat up and looked at Dr. Gothel.
"I'm sorry Cassandra." (Dr. Gothel said, knowing what Cassandra was refering to.) "Do you have a support system to help you through this?"
"Yes. I'm living with a man and a transwoman who love me very much, and are they are very on-board with me having this baby."
"Very well. Here's my card. If you have any questions or if you have any problems before our next visit, call me."
"Thank you Dr. Gothel. I will."
Cassandra paid her co-pay and left Dr. Gothels' office she then went straight to the pharmacy to buy some prenatal vitamins. After she bought her vitamins she called Eugene and Samantha to tell them the news and they were both more than happy. Cassandra then decided to treat herself to a nice lunch before going home and waiting on Samantha and Eugene to get off work to celebrate her offically being pregnant.
Chapter 26: Room For One More?
Summary:
While sitting at home thinking about what to cook for dinner, Cassandra gets calls from both Samantha and Eugene, Sams' is a happy call, Eugenes' is not, after Cassandra gets done talking to Eugene she sits back down on the couch and almost immediately falls asleep where she has a dream with Rapunzel in it where Rapunzel tells her something that she has to promise not to tell Eugene.
Later, while Samantha is at work, she gets to know Julie, the woman she works with, and after finding out that Julie has lost almost everything, she offers to help Julie, who resists at first, but ultimately accepts.
Chapter Text
While thinking about what to cook for dinner, Cassandra got a call from Samantha on her cell phone.
"Hey Sam, what's up?" Cassandra asked in a cheerful tone.
"Just calling to check on you, how are you feeling."
"I'm feeling good. I was actually just thinking about what I wanted to cook for dinner tonight to celebrate me being pregnant."
"I don't know, but I'm sure that whatever you decide to cook for dinner will be fine."
"Have you told anybody that I'm pregnant?"
"Just Julie, the girl I work with, and don't worry, I didn't tell her how, and I told her that you didn't want a lot of people knowing."
"Thanks Sam, I appreciate it."
"Hey I've got to go, we've got a customer."
"Ok, bye Sam. Love you."
"Love you too, bye."
After Cassandra hung up her phone she laid it on the coffee table and picked up the remote.
"Let's see if the Cubs have made any moves to get ready for the playoffs." Cassandra said as she turned on the television. She put it on the Seven Kingdoms Sports Network and was floored by what she saw.
"This is Scott Claymore with breaking news from the Corona Cubs as their rookie sensation Derrick Baldwin has just been suspended for the rest of this season and all of next season for testing positive for Fentanyl, an opioid pain medication that is used for anesthesia and can also be used as a recreational drug that is sometimes mixed with heroin or cocaine, this couldn't have come at a worse time for the Corona Cubs as they are poised to make their first post-season appearence in eightteen years, when they take on the Galcrest Giants in the SKL Division Series. Stay tuned as we continue to cover this breaking story."
Cassandra turned off the television and tossed the remote onto the coffee table.
"Goddamnit! Eugene is going to have a fucking fit, and I don't blame him!"
(Ring Ring)
"That's him." (Cassandra sighed and stood up then answered the phone.) "Hello."
"Did you just see that bullshit!?" A very aggravated Eugene asked.
"Yeah. I just watched it. How did you find out?"
"Read about it on my phone. How could Derrick be so stupid, what was he thinking?"
"Fentanyl is a strong pain-killer. He probably had an injury he was trying to play through so he wouldn't miss any time this close to the playoffs, espically since Schwartz blew out his knee in the first week of the season. He was poised to have a break-out year too."
"You know the Cubs chances just got shot to Hell?"
"Maybe not, just have faith."
"You mean the faith I had that Rapunzel would survive her cancer?"
"Eugene, I'm sorry. I was just trying to help." Cassandra said with regret.
"I know. I'm sorry too. I'll talk to you later Cass."
Cassandra hung up her phone and sat back to the couch. She closed her eyes where she had a dream: She was in Eugenes' bedroom looking up at the ceiling.
"God, I know I've made a lot of mistakes, and I know you don't owe me anything, but if the Cubs could win at least one playoff series, Eugene would be so happy."
"Yeah, this isn't 'Angels In The Outfield.' It doesn't work that way."
"Ra.......Rapunzel.....wha.....how are you here?" Cassandra asked in shock as she looked at Rapunzels' transparent spirit.
"I just told you. God isn't exactly a sports fan. He has more important things going on."
"Yeah, I guess you're right. I just want Eugene to have some happiness in his life."
"Cass, he is happy, with you and the profound change you've made since before I died, and you're going to be a mother."
"I know you'll tell me I'm doing the right thing by keeping my baby, and by not telling the bas...sorry, jerk who raped me that I'm pregnant."
"Yeah, about that. He tried to beat a train last night, didn't make it. He's burning in Hell with Lenoard Wynn as we speak." Rapunzel said.
"He's really dead, and he's really in Hell?" Cassandra asked, trying to wrap her mind around what she just heard.
"Yeah, I should know, considering I would be with him if I was lying, that and I watched him get thrown into the fire, you want to see him burning? I can show you."
"Uh....no." (Cassandra said, not feeling at all the way she thought she would feel hearing about the demise of her rapist.) "I'll take your word for it, and, how can you be so casual about it?"
"After seeing thousands of souls get thrown in every day the shock eventually wears off."
"Really, what if it was me or Eugene, or Varian?"
"Uh......Varian." (Rapunzel stammered.) "Why ask about him?"
"Raps, even though you're a ghost I can still tell when you're hiding something."
"It really isn't a big deal now, so there's no point in talking about it, and if you push I'll just disappear and go back to heaven."
"You wanted to die so he helped you pass, am I right?" Cassandra asked calmly.
"Cass, I told you...." Rapunzel said in an aggravated tone, only to be cut off by Cassandra.
"I know, but whether you tell me, or disappear, I'll have my answer either way."
"Cass, please, don't be mad at him. Cass I was in so much pain. You know how much pain I was in."
Cassandras' eyes got misty as her thoughts and memories suddenly went back to Rapunzels' final days.
"I do, and it was heartbreaking. If I could have taken your spot I would have."
"I know you would have."
"I don't suppose you could come back for a day or two?" Cassandra asked as she started to cry.
"No Cass. I'm sorry, but I'm only allowed to visit for a short time."
"Any chance your boss would allow me to hug you?"
Rapunzel looked up at the ceiling and then looked back at Cassandra.
"Not a word to Eugene about Varian?"
"Not a word." Cassandra said as she crossed her heart.
"Ok, I've only got a minute so make it good."
Cassandra cried as she felt Rapunzel hug her for the first time since the day before she died, and it was so warm and comforting, and that is when Cassandra woke up on the couch to find that it was only a dream, and all she was hugging was a wet from tears pillow. The dream was so real and emotional that Cassandra had cried in her sleep. She looked at the pillow and she was actually happy, letting out a small laugh as she wiped her damp eyes.
"Rapunzel, you still know how to get me to feel better, even if it was in a dream, but I'm still not going to tell Eugene that Varian helped you die, not now, or ever. I think I need a shower."
While Cassandra was enjoying her shower, Julie and Samantha were trying to get to know each other better, and it was going ok, until it got to where finding out where the other one lived.
"So Samantha, where do you live?" Julie asked after starting a fresh pot of coffee and checking the cookies she had baking in the oven.
"I live here in Corona with my girlfriend-who is the girl I was with when we got locked down-and her boyfriend."
"What is that like?" Julie asked curiously.
"It's a lot of fun, we're all equals, we do things together, we each give our own ideas when we want to do something, and then Eugene makes the final decision."
"That still happnes?" Julie asked while putting the freshly baked cookies in the display case.
"Oh yes. It's Eugenes' house, and if it wasn't for him Cass and I would most likely both be out in the street, so unless he defers the decision to one of us, what Eugene says goes. That's one of the ways we show our respect for him taking us in, but don't think for a second that he's dominating or domineering. He's actually quite the opposite. He's one of the kindest, gentlest men I've ever met, and that's in spite of what he's went through, what with losing his wife and then his parents....look at me just ramble. How about you, where do you live?"
Julie looked at Samantha then looked down at the floor and back up. She knew she had to come up with a beliveable answer because she was ashamed to tell anyone that she lived in her car, she had a gambling problem and lost everything she had except the clothes on her back and the car she slept in, as for food, she did the best she could.
"I'm actually in between houses right now." Julie said while she took old desserts out of the display case and took fresh ones out of the refrigerator.
"Oh, so are you staying with a friend?"
Julie looked at Samantha and got an angry look on her face as she clinched her right fist and brought it upwards slightly. Samantha put her hands out to try and calm Julie down but Julie just swatted at Samantha before cupping her mouth with her right hand as she started to cry.
"Julie, it's ok. You don't have to hide anything from me. I won't judge you." Samantha said as she wrapped her left arm around Juiles shoulders.
"I......lost it all gambling. My job, my home, my entire family left me because of my gambling habit, and now, even though I'm trying to get my life back together, they still don't want anything to do with me."
"What about your music?"
"Come on. You know as well as I do that musicians aren't exactly in high demand."
"True. Well....fuck." Samantha said then tilted her head down to her left pants pocket.
"Samantha, what are you doing? No, please don't tell your friends. I'm already embarrassed enough."
"Do you want to sleep in your car for another night after eating left over scraps, or would you like a hot meal and a warm place to sleep until you can get back on your feet?"
Julie held her growling stomach and looked briefly around the small cafe then looked back at Samantha and relented.
"Fine, I'll take you up on your offer, a homeless shelter is better than my car I guess."
"Well, it isn't exactly a homeless shelter."
"Samantha no. I don't want to impose."
Samantha went to answer when the mid-afternoon crowd started to come in, which would temporarily put the conversation on hold until time to close.
After closing the coffee shop, Samantha and Julie went outside to continue their conversation with thunder rumbling in the distance.
"Julie, just let me talk to Eugene. I'm sure we can work something out, besides, it's about to rain."
"Look. I appreciate the offer, but I really don't want to be a burden to you or anybody else, espically since this is of my own doing."
"Julie, I can promise you, that this will be no burden." Samantha said as Eugenes car pulled up.
"Hey Sam, is everything ok?" Eugene asked after he stopped his car and rolled down his window.
"No, my friend Julie here needs help but she doesn't want to ask for it."
Julie looks at Samantha angrily before Eugene speaks.
"Julie, what's wrong?" Eugene asked with concern.
"I.....only have my car to sleep in, and the food I eat is what's thrown out of the food court."
Eugene could tell that Julie was thoroughly ashamed and embarrassed, and did his best to help her feel better.
"Hey, Cassandra, Samantha and myself have all went through hard times, and if you want something hot to eat and a couch to sleep on, you are more than welcome to get in my car and come home with Sam and I, or you can sleep in your car."
"It's just.....I don't want to impose."
"You're not imposing, but if that is how you feel I wish you luck. Come on Sam, don't want to keep Cass and her home made spaghetti waiting."
Cassandra had texted Eugene and told him what she was making for dinner. Now he just had to hope she made extra.
"Wait..." (Julie said, putting her left hand on Samanthas' right arm.) "I'll go. Spaghetti sounds really good."
Before Eugene left with Samantha and Julie he got his phone out and called Cassandra.
"Hey Eugene, on your way home?" Cassandra asked as she waited for her spaghetti sauce to finish cooking.
"Yeah, and, just out curiousity, how much spaghetti did you make?"
"Enough for four people. I know you can put away the spaghetti so I made extra, why?"
"Sam is bringing home a friend who is having some serious problems and she needs some food and a place to sleep."
"Ok, we have extra pillows and blankets so she should be good to go. Oh, does she have clean clothes for tomorrow?"
"No, she's been sleeping in her car so I would say no."
"Ok, what size and build is she?"
"I'd say about the same as Sam and you."
"Perfect, she'll have a place to eat, shower, and clean clothes to wear, oh got to go, the sauce is done, bye, love you guys."
"We're good." Eugene said before driving home.
After Eugene got Samantha and her new friend home, they opened the door to find Cassandra waiting for them, she was wearing a light brown button-up dress with no sleeves.
"Hey guys. Julie, welcome to our home." (Casdandra said with a comforting smile. She had the gaming system put up so Eugene wouldn't see it.) "Come on, dinner is ready."
After Cassandra and her friends sat down at the kitchen table, Julie looked at her food then looked at her new friends. "Thank you all for your hospitality, and I want to apologize for being so stubborn, but swallowing my pride has always been a big problem for me."
"It's ok now Julie. Just relax and enjoy your dinner." Cassandra said, putting her right hand on Julies' left, which gave Julie even more comfort.
"So, Eugene, how was your day?" Cassandra asked after she swallowed her bite of food and took a drink of cola?
"It was boring, there was like nothing going on in Corona today, which isn't a bad thing except it makes for a long patrol day. How was yours?"
"It was good. Treated myself to lunch. Yours and Samanthas packages came in today, which I'll show you after we eat, and after we go to bed I have something I need to tell you."
"Anything wrong?" Eugene asked after swallowed the bite of toasted bread that was in his mouth.
"No, just something I need to tell you."
"Ok. Julie, Sam, did you guys have a good day?" Eugene asked.
"It went pretty smooth." Julie answered. "Pretty smooth. Samantha did a real good job on her first day."
"That's good."
While Julie was eating and talking to her new friends, she felt a warmth and comfort she hadn't felt in a long time.
"Cassandra, this dinner was delicious. Thank you guys so much for inviting me into your home." Julie said as she put her right hand on her full belly.
"You're welcome Julie. Now, would you like to take a hot shower and get into some more comfortable clothes?" Cassandra asked as she stood up.
"Yes, but let me help you with the dishes first. It's the least I can do."
"It's ok." (Eugene said.) "You're our guest. Sam and I can get the dishes while Cassandra gets you fixed up."
"Yeah, come on. Let's go." Cassandra added with a smile.
"Ok. And again I really appreciate it." Julie said before leaving with Cassandra.
"So, what's your story? If you're comfortable with telling me." Julie said once Cassandra and her were in the bathroom.
"Eugene, used to be married to a woman named Rapunzel der Sonne." Cassandra answered as she got out a razor and shaving cream for Julie to use in case she needed to shave.
"Oh, I remember her, she was always heading up some form of community service. I remember reading about her in the Corona Chronicle the day she died, very sad. How did you know her?"
"I....seduced her and had a one time sexual experience with her, and after it was over my parents found out and so did Rapunzels, so I had two sets of parents that didn't want anything to do with me, despite that, Rapunzel still wanted me by her side during her final days, and after she died I told Eugene that if he needed help with anything to give me a call, he did, and I moved in, and believe it or not we fell in love."
"Is he excited about being a father?"
Cassandra dropped her head and composed herself before she spoke and told the story of how she got pregnant.
"Cassandra, I'm so sorry." Julie said as she put her right hand on Cassandras' left shoulder.
"It will be alright. Sam and Eugene both love me and support me, so I know I'll have no trouble raising my baby. Now, I'm going to get out of here and get you something to sleep in. I'll be back in a minute."
While Cassandra was gone, Julie took off her clothes and stepped into the shower, letting out a sigh of relief as the hot water ran down her body. Julie was washing her breasts when she heard the door quickly open and close, she peeked her head around the curtain to see a folded gown on the covered toilet seat, she smiled and went back to her shower, thankful for another chance.
After Julie showered she put on her sleeveless white night gown with pink roses decorating the front and joined her new friends in the living room.
"Hey Julie." (Cassandra said with a smile, sitting on the couch between Samantha and Eugene.) "Here, take my seat. I have to get something for Eugene and Samantha."
Julie complied while Cassandra went over to the entertainment center and oped up the cabinet doors.
"Eugene, I got you the GameStation 4." (Cassandra said aa she showed a happy Eugene his new gaming system.) "I also got four games and four controllers. It was supposed to come with three, but there must have been a deal or something."
"I don't care. I'm not going to arrest you." Eugene said nonchantly before Cassandra continued to speak.
"Now, I have a confession to make. I hooked it up and tried one of the games to be sure it worked. It does, but we'll need internet hook-up." (Cassandra picked up a game box and handed it to Eugene.) "Here's the game I opened so I could test the system."
"Basketball I...." (Eugene paused when he opened the box and saw what was inside.)
"Cass?! Are these what I think these are?!" Eugene asked excitedly as he held a small envelope in his hand.
"They sure are. Corona Cubs playoff tickets, and there for where you've always wanted to set, third row up between first base and home plate."
"Hey, there's four of these too."
"Some things just work out that way." (Cassandra said with a smile.) "Now, whose ready for some football?"
After Cassandra and her friends played a game of football, Cassandra and Eugene showered while Samantha got a couple of pillows and a blanket for Julie.
"Thank you, Samantha, for allowing me into your home." Julie said with a content sigh as she put both pillows under her head. Samatha smiled at Julie, noticing the relief on her face and seeing it in her eyes as she placed the blanket over her.
"You're welcome. Now, if you need anything, just come knock on our bedroom door and tell us what you need. Good night." Samantha said in a voice that was soft and soothing.
"Good night." Julie said with a sparkle in her eye before laying her head back and going to sleep. After watching Julie for a minute, Samantha went into her bedroom and stripped down to her panties before getting bed beside Cassandra who was wearing only a sleeveless shirt and laying on Eugenes' bare chest.
"How's Julie?" Cassandra asked Samamtha with a whisper.
"I think she'll be just fine."
"That's good. Now I have something to tell both of you." Cassandra said as she sat up in bed.
"What is it?" Eugene asked, also sitting up. Cassandra looked at Eugene before she spoke.
"Earlier today while I was asleep on the couch I had a dream that had Rapunzel in it." (Cassandra wiped her eyes as she tried to keep from getting upset.) "And in it I was in this room and I asked God to let the Cubs at least win a playoff series so that you would be happy.
Then she appeared and told me that it doesn't work that way. That you are happy with me for the profound change in conduct I've shown, and that I'm going to be a mother. I told her that I knew she was happy because I'm keeping my baby and that I wasn't telling my rapist.
She told me that he was hit by a train and killed and that he was burning in Hell, she also told me something else that she told me not to tell Eugene about, and then we hugged, and it felt so real that I cried, only to wake up and find that I had cried on the pillow I was holding. I then composed myself and took a shower. It was the realist most profound dream I've ever had. Eugene, I'm sorry that I told you you were having hallucinations. I firmly believe now that you really did see Rapunzels' ghost. Will you forgive me?"
"Yes Cassandra. I forgive you." Eugene said before he kissed Cassandra.
"Thank you Eugene." (Cassandra said before facing forward.) "Now, I had something I wanted to try in our sexual relationship, but after today I think I'm just ready to go to sleep."
"That's ok." (Eugene said, turning on his side to face Cassandra.) "I'm getting sleepy too."
"So am I." Samantha said with a yawn.
All three friends said their good nights before getting comfortable and going to sleep, but will Julie be able to make it through the night?

Chapter Text
In the middle of the night around one o'clock in the morning, while Cassandra and Eugene were sleeping soundly, Samantha woke up to go to the bathroom, she put on a shirt and when she got to the door she was startled when a sickly looking Julie opened it.
"Julie, you scared me." Samantha said, putting her right hand on her heart. "Are you alright?"
"No, I just threw up, and I was going to the kitchen to get myself some water so I could wash out my mouth."
"Oh, I'm sorry. Do you need any help?" Samantha asked as she put her right hand on Julies' left shoulder.
"I do actually. My legs feel really wobbly."
"Ok, I'll get you to the kitchen and then I'll get you some water so you can rinse your mouth out, but you'll need to wait a while before you drink anything outside of the occasional sip of water."
"Why is that?" Julie asked as Samantha got her into the kitchen and turned on the light
"So your stomach muscles can have time to rest."
"Oh, well I wish I would have known that before the last time I threw up."
"When was that?" Samantha asked, getting Julie over to the sink.
"Day before we got locked down I got out of my car to go to work and I threw up in a trash bin, funny thing was it was the same one I had eaten out of the night before........oh shit!" Before Samantha could do anything, Julie threw up in the kitchen sink.
"I'm sorry." Julie said, she went to sit down only to faint, Samantha caught her under her arms and then screamed for Eugene and Cassandra to help her. A few seconds later Eugene and Cassandra-who put on some shorts-came into the kitchen and helped get Julie to the couch where she had her feet elevated and then her temperature checked by Cassandra, it was a little high at 100.5⁰. A couple of minutes later Julie woke up with a gasp and tried to catch her breath.
"Julie, hey, it's all right." Cassandra said, putting her hands on Julies' upper arms and helping her sit up.
"No, it's not alright. I'm pretty sure I was dead."
"Are you sure?" Cassandra asked.
"Yes. I saw my body on the kitchen floor and watched as you three took me to the couch, then...Rapunzel looked at me and said, "Not yet," then I woke up. Which makes me wonder, after I literally gambled my life and family away, why wasn't I just escorted into Hell?"
"I don't know," Cassandra answered. "but now all four of us have been given second chances, just make sure you don't waste yours."
"I don't plan on it."
"Good, now I'm going to go and clean out the sink. Sam stay here with Julie. Eugene, get a cup and a small bowl out of the pantry so Julie can wash her mouth out. Then I'm going to get her some water to sip on."
After Cassandra cleaned out the sink and Julie had washed her mouth out, she sat on the couch and looked at her friends.
"Thank you guys so much, but, I have a favor to ask."
"What is it?" Cassandra asked.
"Could Samantha sit with me for a little bit, I really don't want to go back to sleep right now."
"Sure. I don't mind." Samantha answered. "Just let me go put on some shorts first."
"Ok."
A couple minutes later Samantha returned to the living room and sat by Julie who looked at her.
"Thank you. I know its late, but I'm scared to go back to sleep."
"It's ok. I don't mind." (Samantha took Julie by her right hand.) "So, is there anything you want to talk about?"
"No, not really. Is there anything you want to talk about?"
Both of their heart rates started to increse as they continued to look at each other.
"Why don't we watch some television?" Samantha asked nervously.
"Sounds good." Julie replied, equally as nervous.
Samamtha cleared her throat as she turned on the television. She was flipping through the channels when she stopped on the 24 hour Corona News Network channel that had a breaking news story: "Cubs Left Fielder Derrick Baldwin killed in a motorcycle accident in Pittsford. He had just left a nightclub after watching the Corona Cubs play the Pittsford Pirates. Derrick was riding his 2016 Ducatti down Highway 36 when witnesses say he lost control and was thrown from his bike into on-coming traffic and was ran over by an eighteen wheeler. He was pronounced dead at the scene, he was only twenty-three years old.
At this time there is no word on whether or not Derrick had consumed any alcohol, and no other injuries have been reported. Baldwin was serving a suspension that would have kept him out of baseball until the 2018 season. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Derrick and his family, stay tuned for further updates."
Samantha sighed as she turned off the television and tossed the remote onto the coffee table.
"Are you going to tell Eugene?" Julie asked.
"I won't have to. He gets updates from the team on his phone, he'll find out soon enough. I just hope we can keep him calm when he does."
"What calms him down?"
"He likes to go for drives, but given what time this happened, when he wakes up he won't have time for a drive, and being a cop he doesn't need to go to work in a pissed-off mood. He likes to have sex too, but he won't have time for that either."
"May I ask you a personal question?"
"Sure."
Julie went to speak when Samantha and her heard a loud "Goddamnit!" from Eugene
"Sounds like he already knows. Stay here, I'm going to go see if I can be of any help."
Samantha went to the bedroom and knocked on the door. Cassandra opened it just enough to stick her head out. Eugene was sitting on the foot of the bed.
"Is Eugene going to be ok?"
"I'll be fine Sam. I'm sorry I yelled." Eugene said, looking at the door. "Go on back with Julie."
"Ok." After Samantha left Cassandra shut the door and turned her attention back to Eugene.
"We both know you're not ok?"
"It's just. He had all the talent in the world, and he threw it all away."
Cassandra sat down beside Eugene. They looked at each other before she spoke.
"Maybe he wasn't dealing with an injury, maybe he was addicted to drugs and didn't have anyone he could trust to turn to, there's a lot of people like that in the world."
"I just wish there was a.....I just got a crazy idea."
"What?"
"What do you think about starting a half-way house? Rapunzel wanted to but we were never able to get around to it."
"Eugene, that is a great idea, but, even with the money I have left, I don't think we have enough to start one, and this house is no where near big enough."
"What if we took out a loan?"
"I guess we could do that, but first we need to look at zoning laws and research the inspections and permits we would need, then we would need to hire a lawyer to help us deal with the red tape, ordinaces and so forth. Then we'll need to choose a location and we'll have to offer counseling or support groups of some kind."
"There's uh, more to this than I thought."
"It's a good thing to do Eugene, and I believe that if all four of us are on board that we can do this. Now, do you want me to start work tomorrow on getting things together?"
"Yeah, but let's make sure Sam and Julie are on board first, though I don't know why they wouldn't be."
"They will be, now let's go to bed so we can get at least a few hours sleep."
Eugene and Cassandra got in bed and laid down with Cassandra on the right side of Eugenes' chest, her right arm draped over his mid-section. They looked at each other and shared a passionate kiss. While they were kissing Cassandra pulled down her shorts and pulled Eugene on top of her. He quickly pulled down his underwear and entened her, maintaining eye contact with her while he thrusted his hips. She took quick short breaths and moaned while putting her hands on Eugenes' back. Eugene pulled up on her shirt and she took her arms out of the arm holes and slid her shirt down to her belly. Eugene then kissed her breasts and nipples as he increased the thrust of his hips.
'Eugene, I want you, I want you to cum inside me.' Cassandra said, her eyes closed with her head tilted back. Eugene sped up the thrust of his hips and let out a quiet grunt while Cassandra let out a gasp as they came together. Once they were finished, Eugene laid on Cassandras' left shoulder and looked at her, his cock up against her left hip.
"That was.....wow." Cassandra said quietly.
"I'm glad you enjoyed it, but I am suprised about something."
"You mean me wanting you to cum in me?"
"Yeah, I didn't think you'd be ready yet."
"Well, I'm already pregnant, so I figured why not. Are you mad at me?"
"No. Like I said before, its your body and you get to decide what you want to do with it."
"Speaking of, when I go for my next ultrasound I'm going to try and get pictures printed off so I can show you guys my baby. If you want to see it, that is."
"Of course I want to see it, and I'm sure Sam and Julie will too."
"Ok, then the next time I go I'm going to try and get pictures. Good night Eugene."
"Good night....hey, don't you think one of us should go check on Sam and Julie?"
"I'm sure their fine, but you can if you want to."
"Ok, I'll be back in a minute." Eugene slipped on some underwear and went to check on his friends, only for Samantha to be on the other side of the door when he opened it.
"Sam, what's wrong?"
"Nothing, Julie is back asleep so I was just coming to bed. Why?"
"I was just coming to check on you two, but since she's asleep I guess that won't be necessary."
"Yeah, she's out cold, and I'm not far behind."
"Come on, let's go to bed."
Samantha went into the bedroom and took off her shirt before getting in bed beside Eugene and Cassandra, and the next day Cassandra would get to try a new sexual experience: Couple swapping.
Chapter 28: Feeling Better Part One
Summary:
After her rough night, Julie wakes up feeling better, she then talks to her friends about having sex with them. Later, Eugene pulls over Elsa Federov, and they get into a verbal altercation, but they quickly make amends after Eugene confesses why he's upset. He then goes back on patrol un aware that he will again meet Elsa, along with her sister Anna
Notes:
Decided to break this chapter into at least two parts, and I still have no idea how close I am to the end of this story.
Chapter Text
A couple of hours after Cassandra and her two lovers had went to sleep, Julie woke up and could feel her nightgown sticking to her naked back. "I must have sweated off whatever was ailing me," she said quietly as she pulled at the back of her gown. "I guess I need to go knock on Eugenes' door and let whoever opens the door know that I need some clean clothes to put on. I just hope I don't upset them too much for waking them up."
Julie knocked on the door and a groggy Samantha-wearing only a knee length sleeveless t-shirt-answered it. "Hey Julie, you ok?" she asked as she tried to get awake.
"Yeah," Julie said. "But I sweated during the night and I need some clean clothes to change into after I take a shower."
"Ok," Samantha said, trying not to yawn. "Go take your shower and I'll get you some clean clothes."
"Thanks, I really appreciate it."
"No problem, and I'm glad your feeling better."
While Julie was showering she took the time to think about her situation. She had went from basically living on the street and eating scraps to staying in the home of people she barely knew, but despite her getting sick, the night before was one of the best nights she had had in her life, she couldn't remember the last time she had a laugh or a smile that wasn't forced, and the atmosphere around Eugenes' dining room table was so warm genuine and comforting, which was an atmosphere she didn't have around her family. Which partially contributed to her gambling.
The gambling started innocently enough: A ten dollar bet here, a ten dollar bet there, nothing some overtime-her previous job before working in the mall was working as a machine operator at a meat processing facility-wouldn't cover. And for a while it was working, until one day she put her entire check down on a sports bet that she knew was a sure win: Arendelle University against the Corona College Eagles in the 2015 Galcrest Shores Bowl, a game that Corona was picked to not only win, but win in a rout, however, the game went into overtime and Arendelle stunned Corona on a game winning two-point conversion.
Julie couldn't believe it, she had just lost her entire paycheck. It was at that monent she came clean to her father who then subsequently kicked her out of the home. Not long after she lost her job and that's how she ended up living out of her car working for minimum wage making pre-formed pastries, but at least now she had a warm place to sleep and good food to eat.
After Julie took her shower she dried off and got dressed. She stepped out of the bathroom door and looked at Eugenes' closed bedroom door as her heart rate quickly increased, she knew what was going on on the other side without even having to see or hear it, three hot naked bodies riding and grinding up against each other until Eugene couldn't take anymore and shot his load either deep inside one of them, or, onto both of them, and it made her hot between her legs as she thought of what it would be like to have sex for the first time.
She knew she had no right to ask to join in the fun, still, like a moth to a flame she reached for the door knob then got her bearings back, guilt made her blood run cold as she made her way to the living room and sat back down on the couch. "I need to watch some television, maybe that will get my mind off of the hot threesome that I know is going on behind that door."
After flipping through numerous channels she stopped on a sports channel when she heard Eugenes' bedroom door open. A few seconds later Cassandra walked into the living room wearing a cut off tank top-that showed off her sculpted abs-and a pair of gym shorts. "Hey Julie," she said as Julie looked at her muscular frame. "Sam says you're feeling better."
"Yeah," Julie replied as she absentmindedly focused her eyes on Cassandras' breasts, wondering how the soft warm skin would feel on the tip of her tounge or in her hands as she caressed them, but she still didn't have the gumption to make any moves.
"See something you like?" Cassandra asked sarcastically as she folded her arms over her breasts, snapping Julie out of her stupor. "I'm sorry," Julie said as she felt a knot form in her stomach. "I didn't mean any harm. Please don't be mad at me."
"You remind me of Sam after I warned her about looking at Eugene, and she said the same thing, she said she didn't mean any harm, he was just really hard not to look at, which, I would have to agree."
"So, you're not mad?" Julie asked. "No," Cassandra replied as she walked over to Julie and sat down beside her. "Sam Eugene and myself are very open sexually, and I encourage you to be the same, but we'll never force anything on you or make you feel inadequate if you don't want to participate in any of our activities, one of which we just finished." Cassandra had just finished taking two creampies and being eaten out by Samantha and Eugene. Eugene had never tasted cum before and all three of them were suprised to find that he liked it.
"I know," Julie admitted. "And I almost opened the door to your bedroom then stopped myself, see, I've never had any sexual experiences in my life, not even so much as a kiss, and I knew I had no right to ask to join in, so I came in here and sat down to watch television in hopes of getting my mind off of it, then you came in here in that sexy tank top and shorts and the next thing I know my eyes are locked squarely on your breasts."
"Well, we have a few minutes. Do you want to touch them?"
Julies' heart rate again increased to the point that she felt it thumping in her head. A 'yes' or a positive head shake would have been all that was needed for her touch Cassandra, but she couldn't go through with it and shook her head 'no'.
"Ok," Cassandra said. "But whenever you're ready, just let one of us know. Now, I need to get breakfast started."
Cassandra got up from the couch and went into the kitchen to start breakfast just as Samantha-wearing a tight pink top and shorts-and Eugene-wearing a red t-shirt and shorts-came into the living room. They both said 'hi' to Julie before Eugene went into the kitchen while Samantha sat by Julie on the couch.
"Hey Julie, you ok? You look like something is bothering you."
"I uh, oh fuck...." Julie said as she started to perspire, her heart was going into over drive by this point. "I have a confession to make and I need to tell all three of you."
Julie told Samantha what she told Cassandra and added, "If I have sex with one of you, I'm going to want to have sex with all three of you, constantly, see, I have an addictive personality-hence the gambling-and it won't take long until sex becomes my new habit, and I don't want to do that to you three. It isn't right. It will become empty and meaningless, and, like I said, even though I've never had it, I know sex isn't supposed to be that way."
"Julie," Cassandra said, leaning up against the entrance to the hallway. "That isn't going to be a problem with us. When Eugene Sam and I had sex earlier this morning I wasn't really in the mood for it, but I had it anyway because I know that there are going to be times when I'll want sex but one of them, or you, may not be in the mood for it, so I let both of them fuck me. I came, they came, and we're happy, and if there's a time you really want a lot of sex, you have two cocks and a pussy at your disposal...wait, maybe disposal isn't the right word. You have two cocks and a pussy ready to fulfill any desires you may have, and, if we think you're getting out of control, we'll tell you."
"Ok, I guess that will work," Julie said, her heart rate decreasing slightly. "So, let's say I just wanted to watch and please myself, you three would be ok with that?"
"Yeah," Samantha said. "If that's what you meant by 'sex objects' that is not a problem with me at all," Samantha turned to face Cassandra and Eugene. "Guys?"
"Yeah, sounds good to me," Cassandra replied. "I'm ok with it," Eugene added.
"Like I told you," Cassandra continued. "Whenever you're ready just let us know."
"Ok, how about tonight?"
"Sounds good to me," Cassandra replied with a smile.
During breakfast, Julie and her friends laughed as they engaged in conversation.
"Eugene," Julie said after she wiped her mouth. "Are you serious? That's really what they said?"
"Yes," Eugene replied. "They said they turned right across two lanes of traffic because they were in the turning lane and had a green light."
"Oh good God," Julie said as she palmed her face. "That is the one of the dumbest things I have ever heard, but I think I can top it."
"How?" Cassandra asked.
"I used to operate a machine in a meat packing facility in Saporia that made hot dogs, and the emulsifier I ran had an overflow canister by my control screen that had a flex hose running from it to the top of the machine. One day a maintenance man hooked it up and then looked at me as serious as you could be and asked, 'Is that right?'" Cassandra laughed while Samantha and Eugene snickered. "I replied 'yeah, it's right.' I wanted to tell him the hose was on backwards just to see his reaction, but I didn't."
"And...and, oh shit, he was in charge of setting up equipment?" Cassandra asked as she wiped her eyes.
"Yeah, he only lasted a couple of weeks though. He wired a motor up incorrectly on one of the production lines and burned it up. Costed us four hours of production, and it was a friday, so we were there until we were done. Didn't leave until four saturday morning."
"I'm suprised all he got was fired," Samantha said.
Julie chuckled, "Trust me, a few of us wanted to have a chat with him outback, but our boss said that if she couldn't, than neither could we. Killjoy never would let us have any fun."
"Do you miss working there?" Eugene asked. Julie smiled and looked at Samantha who smiled back.
"Yeah, but I like where I am now, so I think I'll stay put."
"Oh," Cassandra said after swallowing a bite of sausage. "Julie. I need to talk to you and Sam about something."
"What is it," Julie asked.
"After the tragic event that took place last night, Eugene-if you two are on board with it-wants to start a halfway house. Rapunzel wanted to start one, but...was never able to get around to it."
"I think that's a great idea," Samantha said with enthusiasm. "Julie, what do you think?"
"I think it's a great idea too. I just don't know where we'll find a place big enough."
"I'm going to start looking after you three leave for work."
After breakfast, Cassandra saw her lovers and Julie off to work than began the process of trying to find a siutable building for a halfway house. Two hours of searching later and Cassandra wasn't able to find a house anywhere near big enough. "I'll look some more later, right now I need to call and get the internet hooked up in the living room, then I guess I can get some lunch."
Cassandra made the appointment-she wouldn't be able to get the internet hooked up until later that afternoon-and then got ready to go to town. While Cassandra was in town, Samantha and Julie had a lull in customers and decided to engage in a NSFW conversation.
"Slow day," Samantha said.
"Yeah, it is," Julie replied nervously as she cleaned the counter.
"You nervous about tonight?" Samantha asked as she walked up to Julie. Julie turned to her and said, "No, I'm terrified."
"About what?" Samantha asked confused. "You already know how this is going to work."
"Still, it's just, I don't know. I guess I'm afraid of doing something wrong."
"Like what?"
"What if I'm riding you or Eugene and I come, no pun intended, down wrong and hurt one of you. I would feel terrible and I would never forgive myself."
"Just take it slow, and if you're uncomfortable with cowgirl then we can do missionary or doggy style?"
"Why don't we start with missionary and go from there."
"Ok, we can do that. Do you feel better now?"
"Yeah," Julie said, her mind at ease. "Now I'm excited to see my first cock, but we'll have to wait until we get home tonight, oh God my pussy is going to be so wet..oh here comes a customer. Looks like Andrew...it is."
"Andrew, hi," Samantha said, absentmindedly taking a step away from the counter. "What can I get you?"
"Large black coffee," Andrew said as he got out his credit card.
"Will that be all?"
Andrew looked up at the menu board and said, "Yeah, I'm good. It's a lot calmer than it was the last time I was in here," he added as Samantha rung up his total.
"Yeah," Samantha said as she scanned the card. "I just hope that poor man gets the help he needs so he can be with his daughter."
"I do too," Andrew took his card and put it in his wallet then took his coffee and receipt. "Well, see you around Sam."
"Andrew wait," Samantha said after Andrew has his back turned. He turned back and said, "Yes?"
"I want to thank you again for the other day. It really meant a lot to me."
"You're most welcome." Andrew turned again and Samantha watched him walk out of sight and leave the mall.
"Looks like his change is genuine," Julie said.
"It is," Samantha replied. "And I'm proud of him."
"Looks like we're down again. So what do you want to do now?"
"We have to stay put, so let's find something to do until we get another customer."
"Why is it so slow today? I thought a Friday would be busier."
"It's probably because of the incident we had a few days ago. Stay up here, I'm going to go clean out the freezer."
While Samantha was cleaning out the freezer, Eugene pulled over a shrap red 2016 Camaro for a lane violation for failing to signal, and he was in for a suprise. When he got up to the drivers side window the window was down and the woman had both of her hands on the steering wheel. "Hello officer, may I ask what I did wrong?" Elsa Federov asked.
"When you changed lanes back there you didn't give a signal. I need to see your license, regisration, and proof of insurance."
Elsa handed Eugene her papers and said, "I'm very sorry officer. I guess I wasn't thinking."
Eugene looked at her license and said, "Elsa Federov. What brings you here to Corona?"
"I'm here on business," Elsa replied.
"Medicine or sports?"
"I'm here to pay my condolences to the Corona Cubs for the death of Derrick Baldwin. It was very sad. The baseball world lost a very gifted and talented player."
"You'll forgive me if I don't find you sincere. Given your penchant for buying players like they were toys. Sit tight. I'll be right back."
Elsa huffed at Eugenes' rude behavior, but before she reported him, she was going to give him a piece of her mind. Eugene walked back up to her window but didn't even get a chance to get a word out.
"Let me tell you something officer Fitzherbert. I don't know why you dislike me, but if I can legally bring in enough money to pay players what they ask and give them an actual chance to win a World Series trophy every year instead of one every century, I'm going to do it. Now good day to you sir, and I will be talking to your boss." Elsa went to leave when she noticed Eugene drop his head then raise it back up.
"I'm sorry," he said. "But this has already been a tragic year for me and the Derrick Baldwin situation made it even worse, still, that isn't an excuse for my behaviour."
"I'm sorry," Elsa said. "May I ask what happened?"
"I lost my wife to ovarian cancer, and then a short time later her parents were killed in a one car crash, and then, just as soon as I thought things were looking up for the Cubs, Derrick got suspended and then killed."
"Look, I'm very sorry for all of your losses. I truly am. Ok, I won't report you, but you sound like you need counseling of some kind. I can get you in touch with a very well respected therapist if you're intrested."
"Thank you, but I'm doing at home thearpy, and it's working, it's just taking a while."
"Well, given all you've been through I'm not suprised. Take care officer, and good luck."
After Elsa drove away, Eugene went back to his patrol car, unaware that Elsa, along with her sister Anna, and him would meet again.

Chapter Text
While Eugene was continuing his patrol and Elsa was visiting with the owner of the Corona Cubs, Cassandra-wearing cutoff shorts and a red tank top-decided to give Samantha and Julie a visit. "Hey sexy," Samantha said as Cassandra walked into the empty coffee shop. "What brings you here?"
"Just passing some time. You girls staying busy?" Cassandra asked as she walked up to the counter.
"I wished," Julie replied. "We've had like, five or six customers all day."
"That sucks. Hey, can I get a small chocolate latte, and a double fudge cookie?"
"Sure," Samantha said as Julie got out Cassandras' cookie. "And do you want whip cream on your latte?"
"Sure," Cassandra said. After her total was rung up she paid with cash then took her latte and brownie.
"So, what are your plans for today?" Samantha asked as Cassandra stood by the counter and ate her brownie.
"Not much of anything," Cassandra said after she swallowed her bite. "All I have today is getting the internet hooked up."
"What about the halfway house?" Julie asked.
"I think since I'm out I'm going to drive around and see if I can find anything."
"Could you hang around for about an hour, we're only open a half day today," Samantha said. "I would have told you but things got so hectic at home that I forgot."
"Sorry guys," Julie said.
"Not your fault Julie," Cassandra replied. "I think I'll browse the bookstore. See you both in an hour. Hey, would you guys like to go out for lunch?"
"Sure, we'll think about where we want to go and we'll tell you when you get back," Samantha said.
The hour quickly passed and Cassandra was back to pick up her friends who had already closed the coffee shop.
"So, where are we going to go for lunch," Julie asked as her and her friends quickly left the mall.
"We're probably going to stay in Corona," Cassandra answered as she got out her keys. "I wouldn't want to be too far away if something were to happen to Eugene."
Cassandra and her girl friends decided on Italian for lunch and made their way to Stefanos'. Once inside, Cassandra ordered a toasted ravaoli and a cola while Julie and Samantha ordered a chicken salad apiece and two waters.
While they were waiting on their food Julie folded her arms on the table and looked around when she noticed her parents getting out of their car outside the restaurant. 'oh shit' she whispered before she rubbed her face.
"Julie, what's wrong?" Cassandra asked. "My parents are here," Julie said, keeping her face in her hands "And I just know their going to take this opprotunity to embarrass me."
"Julie," Samantha said as she pushed down Julies' hands. "Didn't you say they didn't want anymore to do with you?"
"Yeah, but they're on their way in and it's too late to leave. Hopefully we'll just ignore each other and that will be the end of it."
"I don't like this," Cassandra said. She went to speak again when her cell phone rang. She smiled as she answered and said, "Hey Eugene. How are you doing today?"
"Doing pretty good. Just stopping for a lunch break, and to tell you that I got a new partner."
"Awesome," Cassandra said after she took a drink of her soda. "What's their name?"
"His name is Martin Riggs and he just transfered from Pincosta. Hey, I gotta go. Someone just blew past us doing about a hundred and eighty."
"Be care...." Before Cassandra could finish what she was going to say, Eugene hung up.
"What was that about?" Samantha asked.
Cassandra nervously laid her phone on the table and said, "That was Eugene calling to tell me that he was taking a lunch break and that he got a new partner, but then they got passed by a speeder."
"He'll be ok," Julie said as Cassandra took another drink of her soda. "I know," Cassandra said. "But it still makes me anxious."
About that time, Julies' parents walked by her and didn't even acknowledge her or her friends. And to make it worse, they got a booth right behind Julie and her girlfriends. Julie groaned within herself as Cassandra and Samantha looked on, but she was able to keep her composure.
While Julie Samantha and Cassandra did their best to enjoy their lunch, Eugene and his new partners' high speed pursuit had turned into a violent car crash as the Mustang the speeders were driving t-boned a Cadalliac Escelade, causing it to roll over multiple times.
Eugene radioed in the crash and called for an ambulance then checked the driver of the Mustang, and he couldn't believe what he saw-the driver and the passenger were girls who couldn't have been any older than fourteen or fifteen, he checked their pulses, they were both killed in the crash.
He got back on his radio and called for a medical examiner then went to check on the driver of the Esclade. "Varian," Eugene said as Varian groaned and moved slowly in his seat. "Don't move. An ambulance is on its way."
"Don't worry about it," Varian said through labored breaths. "My spleen ruptured. I....I only have a few minutes, and I....I need to tell you something."
"Varian, cut it out," Eugene said as Martin looked on quietly. "The ambulance is on its way."
"Eugene, I'm.....I'm sorrrrry." Varian lost conciousness then slumped over in his seat. Eugene checked for a pulse and Varian was still alive. When the ambulance arrived Varian was rushed to a hospital.
After the victims were removed from the scene and the girls parents notified,Eugene filled out his report. He was so emotionally distraught and physically drained afterward that he had to be driven home by Martin. He called Cassandra to tell her what was going on. She was sitting on the couch watching the news with her girlfriends when her phone rang. She answered it quickly and said, "Eugene. I was just watching the news. Are you ok?"
"Yeah," Eugene answered. "I'll be home soon. I just wanted to let you know that my new partner will be bringing me home, and I think Varian may have suffered a brain injury."
"Oh God!" Cassandra said. "What would make you think that?"
"Before he lost conciousness he told me he was sorry, which is what he told me at Rapunzels' funeral. But, I don't want to think about it right now. Right now I just want to get home to my girls."
"Ok Eugene," Cassandra said, relieved that Eugene didn't want to inquire further about Varians' apology. "I love you. Be careful and I'll see you in a little bit."
"I love you too Cass. Tell Sam and Julie I love them too."
"Ok Eugene. I will. Bye." After Cassandra hung up her phone she laid it on the coffee table then went to the bathroom and returned a few minutes later. "You good," Samantha asked. Cassandra looked at her and said, "Yeah." Cassandra was trying to remain as calm as possible, even though she knew that Eugene was eventually going to find out that Varian helped Rapunzel die, and she was scared over how he would handle it.
"Well, that's a lie," Samantha said, taking the remote and turning off the television. "Come on. After catching me in a lie and then telling me that I can be open and honest with you, you're going to try and lie to me? That isn't going to work Cassandra."
"Ok," Cassandra said. "You remember the dream I had the other day? It has to do with the part I told Rapunzel I would keep quiet about. Though Eugene is going to find out eventually. Then you two will find out. I just hope that when Eugene does find out, that he doesn't finish what Varians' wreck started."
"Oh," Samantha said. Feeling guilty. "I'm sorry. I guess that would be a good reason to keep quiet."
"This whole thing is an absolute mess," a frustrated Cassandra said as she stood up and faced her girlfriends. "Look," Samantha said. "You just told us there's nothing we can do for right now. So all we can do is try and relax."
"You do know what relaxes us, right?" Cassandra asked rhetorically. "Don't you think that's a bit selfish? Considering Eugene isn't here, and you know he's going to want to relieve some stress."
"Jump to conclusions much," Samantha fired back. "I wasn't talking about having sex. I was literally talking about maybe putting on some music or playing video games. God, just because I did porn one time doesn't mean I want to fuck twenty-four seven. Get your mind out of the gutter."
"I'm sorry," Cassandra said, regretting her accusation of Samantha. "I'm just really on edge right now. Can you forgive me?"
"Yes," Samantha said. "But stop jumping to conclusions. Now, do you want to listen to music or play video games?"
"Let's play some video games," Cassandra said. While Cassandra Julie and Samantha were playing a racing game. Martin pulled up to Eugenes' house and stopped his car. "Thanks Riggs,. You want to come in for a cold soda?"
"Nah," Martin replied. "I've got to get home to my boy Sam. If I'm late getting home he gets excited and starts to hump the furniture."
Eugene found no humor in Martins' joke, but chuckled nonetheless. "Then you better get a move on," Eugene said as he got out of Martins' car. "I'll see you in the morning," he added before walking up to his house.
When Eugene opened the door his girlfriends all put down their controllers and walked over to him. "Hello ladies," he said as he hugged his girlfriends. "We're glad you're home," Cassandra said. "Are you going to be ok?"
"I'll be ok," Eugene said as he hugged Julie and Samantha. "But Varians' last words are still replaying in my head. I have no idea what he has to be sorry about. Cass, do you have any idea what he could be sorry about?"
Cassandra shuddered slightly at Eugenes' question, but she promised Rapunzel she wouldn't say anything. "Never mind. I have a feeling I know what it is."
Cassandra Julie and Samantha just sat silently as Eugene went into the bathroom and shut the door then turned on the shower. And though the girls had done nothing wrong, none of them were very hungry for the supper.
"Cass, how much more can this man take?" Samantha asked. "I'm not sure," Cassandra replied. "But we need to make sure he's as happy as possible. I'll be right back." Cassandra went to the bathroom and knocked on the door. "Eugene," she said timidly. "Come on in Cass," Eugene said as he wrapped a towel around his lower body. Cassandra opened the door and went into the bathroom then closed the door.
"Eugene," she said nervously as she looked at his worn frame. "I'm sorry."
"Don't be,' Eugene said. "You didn't do anything wrong. If anything, it was Varian who should have told me, instead of saying he was sorry right before he passed out. But, given the pain Rapunzel was in, I understand why he did it. I just wish he would have told me. I'm going to take my shower now. I'll see you three in a little bit."
"Ok...uh...do you want me to cook, or order dinner?" Cassandra asked. "Just order something," Eugene said, more stressed than aggravated.
"Ok, just one more question. Do you still feel like doing anything tonight, or do I need to tell the girls that we'll fuck another night?"
"Let me shower and let's eat dinner, then go from there."
During dinner Cassandra had a question for Samantha suddenly pop into her head. "Sam, why have a siren that doesn't make a full three hundred and sixty degree rotation?"
"Uhhhhh, that annoys the shit out of me," Samantha groaned. "But to answer your question it has something to do with equipment called collector rings. I think it has something to do with the wiring, and since these particualr sirens don't have them, they don't make a full three hundred and sixty degree rotation. Otherwise the wires would break. As for why they don't have them, I don't have the first clue."
"Oh, ok. Thank you," Cassandra said with a smile then went back to eating her dinner. 'Huh, everyone has their quirks and hobbies,' Julie thought to herself. 'At least Cassandras' is harmless.'
After dinner, Eugene looked at his girlfriends and all three of them could tell that he was exhausted. "Julie, Sam, help me clean the table real quick" Cassandra said as her and her girlfriends stood up. "Eugene why don't you find a ball game to watch," Cassandra gave Eugene a quick wink and he made his way to the living room.
After the dishes were done Samantha Cassandra and Julie made their way to the living room and stood in front of the television. "Ladies, why are you blocking my show," Eugene asked.
"The three of us thought you might want to watch something a little more, provocitive," Cassandra said. Eugene smiled as he sunk down into the couch and watched as Cassandra and Samantha started to kiss and undress while Julie nervously stood off to the side.
"Hey," Cassandra-who was only wearing her underwear-said to Julie after she stopped kissing Samantha and got on her knees. "You ready to see your first cock?"
"Yeah," Julie said. She walked over still fully clothed and got on her knees by Cassandra. "Take her shorts and pull them down," Cassandra said. Julie did as instructed and was amazed at the size of Samanthas' cock. "Oh my God! This thing has to be nine inches long," Julie exclaimed as she gripped the base with her right hand.
"Ten. And I'm glad you like it," Samantha said as Cassandra and her took off their bras. "Put it in your mouth and suck on it," Cassandra said. Julie looked at her and gulped then opened her mouth and slowly inserted Samanthas' cock into it then took it back out. "Fuck, that thing went all the way to the back of my throat," Julie said after she swallowed. "I almost choked."
"Here," Cassandra said as she moved over in front of Samantha. "Let me have some fun with it while you get undressed."
Julie pulled off her sandals as she watched Cassandra quickly and effortlessly suck on Samanthas' cock. 'How does she do that,' she asked herself as she pulled off her shirt and jeans, then got back down on her knees. "Here, let me try again," she said then took Samanthas' cock and put it in her mouth. This time she went slower and only half way then slowly moved her head back and forth.
Seeing that Julie was getting the hang of things Cassandra got behind her and started to kiss the back of her shoulders. While she was kissing Julies' shoulders she put her hands on Julies breasts and started to lightly squeeze them. Julie brushed Cassandras' hands away then took off her bra. She then stopped sucking on Samanthas' cock and stood up to take off her panties. All three of the girls then turned and faced a smiling and still dressed Eugene.
"You believe this shit," Cassandra quipped. "Here we are putting on a show for him and he can't even take out his cock and jerk it while he watches us. I don't think I've ever been so insulted. Girls, let's get him."
Eugene laughed while he pretended to fight off his three girlfreinds. Soon he was naked as well and Cassandra wasted no time as she got on her knees and quickly started to suck on his cock while Samantha and Julie watched. 'Goddamn,' Julie thought to herself. 'Eugenes' dick is huge too.'
After spending a couple of minutes watching Cassandra suck Eugenes' cock, Julie sat down on the couch beside him so Samantha could eat out her pussy. She moaned and put Eugenes' right hand on her left breast as her shaved pussy was being unmercifully licked and nibbled on by Samantha.
"You like having your pussy eaten out," Samantha asked a red faced Julie. Julie just looked down at her and shook her head yes. Eugene looked over at Samantha and asked, "You want to switch?"
Without saying a word Samantha and Cassandra switched places, but Samantha was suprised when Eugene stood up as well. She was even more suprised when Eugene got on his knees in front of the couch. "Oh fuck yeah," she said excitedly as she got down on her knees behind Eugene. "I've been wanting to do this for a while." Samantha took her cock and slowly slid it into Eugenes' tight pink butt-hole while Cassandra and Samantha fingered themselves and watched. "Holy fuck!" Julie exclaimed as Samantha slowly slid her cock in and out of Eugenes' butt.
"Tell me about it," Cassandra said as Julie and her went to fingering each other. "This is the second time these two have butt fucked. The first time Eugene fucked Samantha. And now he is apparently returning the favor. Eugene, you good?"
"Fuck yes!" Eugene grunted as his ass was being pounded by Samanthas' cock. "This feels so fucking good! Fuck yeah Sam! Keep pounding my ass with your cock!"
"Never thought I'd see the day that Eugene Fitzherbert would take it up the ass, and enjoy it," Cassandra said as Julie and her watched with their arms folded over their breasts.
After poounding and spanking Eugenes' ass until both cheeks were red, Samantha pulled her cock out of Eugenes' ass. Eugene and her both sat down on the couch and looked at Cassandra and Samantha. The girls smiled and walked over to their respective partners.
Cassandra got on top of Eugene and quickly started to bounce up and down on his cock while Julie looked at Samantha then laid down in the floor.
After Samantha got on top of Julie she placed the tip of her cock up against Julies' tight pussy and slowly pushed it in. Julie hissed as she felt Samanthas' cock slowly enter her. Once Samantha was all the way in she took Julie by the hands and skowly thrusted her hips. "Thank you for going slow," Julie said. "This is my first time doing this and I want it to last as long as possible."
"Between me and Eugene," Samantha said with a smile. "You'll be going all night." Julie grinned then cupped Samanthas' breasts in her hands and softly kissed them. "Mmmmm, you're breasts are so soft and warm," Julie said after she kissed each breast and sucked on each nipple. "I think I'm going to kiss them some more."
While Julie was kissing Samanthas' breasts she could feel her pussy start to tighten up. "Oh shit. Sam. I'm going to cum. Ahh fuck. Oh shit. AHHHHHH FUCK!" Julie screamed, and arched her back as she came.
"Sounds like someone is enjoying their self,' Cassandra said. "And.....fuck. I'm going to cum too...FUCK! AHHH SHIT! GODDAMN IT!"
After Cassandra came she gave Eugene a big kiss on the lips then got off of him and took him to the bedroom followed by Samantha and Julie.
When they got inside the bedroom Cassandra laid down on the bed and pulled Samantha on top of her and gave her a big kiss while Julie did the same with Eugene.
"Ahhhh fuck," Julie groaned while Eugene fucked her fast and hard. "I'm not sure how much more I can take....fuck. I'm going to cum again." Julie came again and when she did Eugene couldn't hold back and painted her tight pussy white with his hot cum. "Oh my God," Julie said as she felt Eugene cum inside her. No sooner had Eugene creampied Julie, Samantha and Cassandra also came.
"Oh my God," Cassandra said as she looked at her boyfriend and two girlfriends. "That was fucking amazing." After a cooling down session of light kissing, the two couples cuddled up together and went to sleep.
The next morning Cassandra woke up before everyone else and took her cut-off tank and a pair of shorts with her to the bathroom.
After she used the bathroom she got dressed and went to the living room and turned on the television. "Corona Mayor Ronald Crump is set to throw out the first pitch..." Cassandra scoffed then turned off the television and went into the kitchen to start breakfast. Not knowing that there would be another addition to make room for. And a decesion would have to be made: Add on. Or move.

Chapter Text
While Cassandra was making breakfast she was cutting up some potatoes when her knife slipped and she sliced her right thumb open.
She cursed herself and wrapped her bleeding thumb in a towel then made her way to the bedroom. She knocked on the door and a still naked Eugene opened it. "Cass! What did you do!?" Eugene asked with concern while an also naked Samantha and Julie walked up behind him.
"I was cutting up some potatoes to fry for breakfast and I sliced my thumb open. And I need one of you to throw on enough to be decent and take me to get some stitches."
"I'll do it," Julie said. After Julie quickly put on a pair of shorts a tank and sandals, Cassandra and her got in Cassandras' car and Julie drove them to the emergency room of Corona General Hospital.
When they arrived at the hospital they went into the empty waiting room and right up to a nurses station.
After Cassandra explained to the nurse what had happened she was taken to an exam room where she would answer some health questions and wait for a doctor.
"I hope this doesn't take too long," Cassandra said while she kept pressure on her thumb. "This thing hurts like a motherfucker."
"Hopefully it won't take that long," Julie said. A few minutes later a nurse and a doctor came into the room and the doctor told Cassandra to lay on her back.
"Ok Cassandra," her doctor said. "You're going to feel a slight sting and then your thumb is going to go numb. Then I'll stitch it up."
"Ok doc," Cassandra said, doing her best to stay calm. She was nervous because when she would go to see her doctor when she was little sometimes she would need to have blood drawn, and her nurse wasn't gentle. Everytime she went to draw blood she would stab the needle into Cassandras' tiny left arm.
But, instead of feeling a sharp pain she felt a slight sting and then she felt her thumb go numb. A few minutes later she was stitched up and ready to go. After thanking her nurse and doctor, Cassandra walked back to her car with Samantha and got in on the passengers side and buckled then called Eugene while Julie started the car and drove out of the parking lot.
"Hey Cass, how's the thumb?" Eugene asked while Samantha was in the shower.
"It hurts like hell," Cassandra answered. "I'm even letting Julie drive."
"Damn, it must really be hurting for you to let someone else drive Baby."
"True, but Julie is a good driver. She really knows how to drive stick."
"I know," Eugene said. Cassandra curled her lips and could almost feel Eugenes' smirk through her phone. "She drove my stick real well."
"Very funny Eugene," Julie added.
"Anyway," Cassandra said, trying to get back on point. "Put everything I had set out back in the fridge. I'm going to have Julie stop and pick us up some breakfast from the pancake house Samantha used to work at. What would you two like?"
"Already done," Eugene said. "And as soon as Samantha finishes her shower I'm going to tell her what's going on and then I'll text you our orders."
"Thank you Eugene. We're headed to the pancake house now. We love you. And tell Samantha we love her too."
"I will Cass. Love you both too, bye."
"Bye bye."
After Cassandra hung up she put her phone in her purse and leaned her head back.
Julie looked at Cassandra briefly and asked, "You going to be ok?"
"I'll be ok," Cassandra answered. "I think after I eat breakfast I'll feel better."
A couple of minutes later Cassandra sat up when she heard her phone get a text message. After Cassandra read Eugenes' text she called the pancake house and ordered breakfast.
After breakfast, Cassandra asked Eugene if he could take the girls to work so she could take some pain medicine for her thumb. He agreed and left to take the girls to work. Cassandra took her pain medicine and stripped naked before going to bed and going to sleep.
She was only asleep a couple of hours when she was starled awake by her phone ringing. She looked at it and it was Samantha.
"Hey Sam....hey? Why are you cry....Slow down. They what?! Goddamnit to Hell! Ok. I'll be there as soon as I can."
After Cassandra hung up her phone she put on a bra and panties then her shorts and a t-shirt and her sandals then drove to the mall. When she arrived she went into the foodcourt where Samantha and Julie were waiting for her.
She walked over to them and sat down and they explained that because of "business costs," the coffee shop was closed.
"I'm so sorry girls," Cassandra said as she hugged her friends. "We're sorry too," Julie said. "We knew you hadn't been asleep long, but we also knew you'd be pissed if we took a bus home."
"Don't be sorry," Cassandra said. "You were right. I would have been pissed. Now I'm going to call Eugene and tell him what happened and that I'm getting you two out of here for a while."
Cassandra called Eugene and told him what happened and what she had planned, and that it might be late before they got home.
He gave his condolences and told them that he loved them and to be careful on their trip. He also found out that Varian was in a medically induced coma, but kept that part to himself.
"Ok girls," Cassandra said after she hung up. "You two want to run home real quick and change into something cooler before we go on our trip, or are you two good in jeans and t-shirts?"
"I definitely want to get into something cooler," Samantha said. "Me too," Julie added. "Oh, where are we going, exactly?"
"Don't have the first damn clue," Cassandra said. "But Eugene knows we're going on a trip and that we might be late getting back home. So we have our bases covered."
When the girls got back home they took turns using the bathroom then Samantha and Julie went into the bedroom to change clothes while Cassandra waited on the couch.
A couple of minutes later Samantha and Julie walked out of the bedroom wearing shorts and tanks. Julie also had a sheet over her right arm. "In case we want to have a picnic," she said, taking notice of Cassandras' gaze.
"Right," Cassandra said. "Come on. Let's get out of here for a while."
While Cassandra and her girlfriends were driving out of Corona, Samantha yawned and scooted up against Julies' left arm. Julie and her then kissed each other on the lips.
"I love you," Samantha said after Julie and her kissed. "I love you too," Julie replied. A few minutes later Julie and Cassandra were the only two awake. "So, where are we going?" Julie asked.
"I don't know," Cassandra said. "But I think we need to go somewhere that will cheer Samantha up. Has she ever mentioned going anywhere she hasn't been to before, or, not in a while?"
"Not really," Julie said after thinking for a minute. "Outside of wanting to go to a baseball or football game she hasn't talked about going anywhere."
"Well, it's really hot to be sitting out watching a baseball game," Cassandra paused then got an idea. "Let me pull over for a second and check something."
After Cassandra pulled over she checked her phone for a minute then took back off. "So where are we going?" Julie asked.
"An Indoor Football game between the Galcrest Firebirds and the Ingvarr Vikings. It starts at five o'clock. It's ten o'clock now which would put us in Galcrest around noon. That will give us more than enough time to find a place to eat lunch, and if we can find the right place, maybe even take our lunch to go and have a picnic at a park then take in some sights before we go to the game."
"Sounds good to me," Julie said with a smile. "And I know Sam is going to love it."
"Are you going to be ok?" Cassandra asked as she took the on-ramp to the interstate. "Yeah, Sam and I should be able to find jobs pretty quick."
"You should, and if you can't then I'll find one until I have to take time off to have my baby."
"Despite how you got pregnant," Julie said. "Are you excited about having a baby?"
"I'm excited. Nervous. Terrified. Worried. Scared. Happy. Needless to say I'm feeling all kinds of emotions, and I'm not even through my first month yet."
"Do you hope it's a boy or a girl?" Julie asked. Her mind now focused on Cassandras' baby.
"I honestly don't care," Cassandra answered. "All I care about is that my baby is born healthy."
"What about a room?"
Cassandra was caught off guard by Julies' question and started to get nervous. She hadn't even thought about the prospect of adding on a room. "Oh shit. Uh....it can sleep in our bedroom....fuck. Forget a halfway house. We're going to need a new house. There isn't enough room for us and a baby."
"I'm sorry if I made you upset," Julie said. "I didn't mean to."
"No. Not at all," Cassandra said. "The three of us just need to sit down and talk this out and then start looking for a house."
"Don't you mean the four of us?" Julie asked. "Sorry," Cassandra said. "I'm just nervous."
"It'll be ok," Julie said, trying to reassure Cassandra. A few minutes later Samantha opened her eyes and sat up. "I'm sorry guys," she said as she stretched and looked around. "I didn't mean to fall asleep."
"It's ok," Julie said. Did you enjoy your nap?"
"It was pretty good. So where have we decided to go?"
"We just took the Galcrest exit. When we get there we're going to find a place to eat lunch, and the rest is a suprise."
"Oh good," Samantha said. "I love suprises."
While Cassandra was driving towards her exit she saw a sign for a restaurant that advertised flying rolls. 'That sounds like a fun place to go,' Cassandra thought to herself. 'Maybe on our next trip the four of us can go there. I just hope Eugene doesn't try and throw the rolls back.'
While Cassandra and her friends were enjoying their drive, Eugene and Martin were investigating a possible prowler in the house of an elderly woman.
When they got inside the house the woman told them that she had been hearing banging noises coming from her basement. Eugene and Martin assured the woman that everything was going to be ok and that they would take care of the prowler.
They knew it wasn't really a prowler but they didn't want to embarrass the woman or make her feel stupid. When they got down to the basement they turned on the light to find that the prowler was just the furnace.
After they got back upstairs they reassured the woman that the noises she had been hearing were just her furnace and that they would make sure it got fixed. Eugene even called a repairman and then waited with Martin until the repairman arrived before leaving.
"Feels good doesn't it?" Martin asked Eugene as they drove away from the old womans' house. "It does," Eugene said. "So, we really haven't had a chance to talk since we teamed up."
"What do you want to know?" Martin asked.
"What really went down in that interrigation room?"
Martin was angered by Eugenes' question but did his best to keep his cool. "Captain told you guys that I didn't want to talk about it, and nothing has changed since then."
"Ok," Eugene said as he turned on to Main Street. "But if you ever do want to talk about it over a beer or something, just let me know."
While Martin and Eugene continued on their patrol, Cassandra and her girlfriends could see the tall skyscrapers of Galcrest on the horizon. "Goddamn!" Julie exclaimed. "We don't have buildings anywhere near that size in Corona."
"It's not the financial capitol of The Seven Kingdoms for nothing," Cassandra said as they crossed the massive Saison lake.
Once they crossed the bridge they were in the big city of Galcrest. "Ok," Cassandra said. "I'm going to pull over in this parking lot and find a place to get lunch. Any requests?"
"How about Chinese?" Samantha said. "I'm good with Chinese," Julie added.
"Ok," Cassandra said as she typed on her phone. "How about The Dark Kingdom Super Buffet? It's twenty miles from here on St. George Avenue. It has five stars and is said to have the best Saporian beef in the Seven Kingdoms."
"Sounds good to us," Julie said.
"Then let's go," Cassandra said. She pulled out of the parking lot and made the twenty mile drive to the restaurant. When the girls arrived they were suprised that it was in a strip mall. But when they went inside they were blown away by not only how good the food smelt, but by the huge aquarium that stretched across the back wall.
After the girls were seated and ordered their drinks and buffet they left their table and went to get their food.
"So girls," Cassandra said between bites of her Saporian beef. "Have you two had a good time so far?"
Samantha swallowed her bite of spicy chicken and said, "I have, but I still have no clue what my suprise is."
"Nothing at all has come to mind?" Julie asked after she slurped down her rice noodles.
"No," Samantha said. "I don't have any idea what you two have planned."
"Wow Julie," Cassandra said. "We really dropped the ball on this one."
"I'll say we did. I'm really kicking myself over this one."
"Dropped the ball," Samantha said with disgust. "Kicked? Are we going to a soccer game?"
"No," Cassandra said. "But they do use nets?"
"Oh my God," Samantha said as her face and eyes lit up. "You guys are taking me to an indoor football game?"
"Yes," Julie said as Samantha wiped her eyes. "Cassandra and I were discussing what to do on our trip that would cheer you up and I told her that you would like to go to a baseball game or a football game, and being as hot as it is outside, we decided on indoor football."
"Now we didn't mean to make you cry," Cassandra said.
Samantha sniffed and blew her nose before she spoke. "You don't understand. I've been wanting to go to one of these games ever since I was a little girl, but my dad never took me. And even though I know you guys like football, I didn't think you guys would take me to an indoor game."
"Of course we would," Cassandra said. "Don't ever be afraid to ask us if you want to do something. Ok?"
"Ok," Samantha said. "I won't."
After the girls finished their lunch Cassandra paid the bill and looked at her watch. "We still have four hours," she said. "Let me buy the tickets online and that will give us even more time to look around the arena."
After Cassandra bought three front row tickets and three V.I.P. passes, her and her girlfriends left the restaurant and made their was to the Galcrest Royal Bank Arena.
When the girls arrived they parked and walked up to the front ticket counter. Cassandra showed the usher her online receipt and her and her girlfriends were given V.I.P. tags and had free access to anything Galcrest Firebirds.
"Oh my God," Samantha said with excitement. "I can't believe this is really happening." Samantha was like a kid in a candy store. She got a tour of the announcers booth, the Firebirds locker room, and she even got to play catch with some of the players. Before she knew it it was time for her and her friends to get some snacks and something to drink and then take their seats.
"So Samamtha," Julie said, munching on some nachos while the players finished warming up. "Is the scoring the same in this version of football as it is in outdoor football."
Samantha took a drink of her soda and answered, "Touchdowns and field goals are scored the same and there's also two point conversions, but that's where the similarities end."
Samantha took another drink of her soda then continued to speak.
"Safetys' are worth one point and if the kicker kicks the ball through the uprights on the kickoff his team gets two points then the other team starts on their own ten yard line. But if it bounces off the net and back into play it's a live ball and if the kicking team recovers the ball and takes it into the endzone it's a touchdown."
"Wow, so without even trying an onside kick a team can score ten points before the other team even touches the ball," Cassanda said.
"Yes, and it's very high scoring. As a matter of fact the Ingvarr Vikings actually hold the record for the most points in a game with ninety-nine."
The game started and Samantha was smiling from the start and before she new it there was only ten seconds left in the forth quarter with Galcrest had the ball on their own ten yard line trailing 99-90.
The Galcrest quarterback stood in the shotgun formation and sent a receiver in motion and snapped the ball. In a split second he found a receiver open down the side line. He went to throw but had to evade a pass rusher and look for another receiver. He couldn't find one so he just threw the ball it at the net and hoped for a miracle. His prayer was answered and the crowd erupted when one of his receivers came down with the ball with two seconds left. They got the two point conversion and then it was time to try and win the game with a two point kick.
The kicker placed the ball onto the tee and crossed himself before going to the back of the endzone. He took a deep breath and kicked the ball as hard as he could.
Samantha stood up and watched as the ball started to drop as it approached the uprights. She just knew it was going to fall short. It hit the crossbar and rotated over and over as it seemed to hover over the crossbar then finally it dropped and hit the crossbar again and fell into the net.
Samantha and the crowd went nuts, but Ingvarr still had one play from their own ten yard line. The quarterback lined up under center and snapped the ball. He had good protection and found a receiver wide open in the endzone.
The crowd stood in stunned silence as he stood in the endzone with the ball and celebrated with his teammates. But there was a flag on the play. The receiver who caught the ball was flagged for holding the player defending him. The touchdown was waived off and Galcrest had won the game.
Samantha couldn't believe it as she hugged Cassandra and Julie. Before they left Samantha got a football she had caught autographed by the Galcrest Firebird quarterback.
After they left the stadium Cassandra decided to call Eugene but it went straight to voicemail. She tried again and when she couldn't get through she started to get worried. She told Julie and Samantha to try their phones and when they couldn't get an answer she became terrified. Finally after minutes of trying Cassandra was finally able to get through.
"Eugene, what the hell?" Cassandra exclaimed as she stood by the drivers' side door of her car. "We've been trying to call you for ten minutes."
"I'm sorry," Eugene said. "But I have some bad news about Varian."
"What...what is it?" Cassandra asked, fearing the worst.
"He told me that Rapunzel told him that she wanted to die, but that she was too afraid to tell me. That she thought I would think that she was a coward or a quitter. Which we all know is total bullshit."
"Yeah," Cassandra said. She knew Varian was dead.
"So I asked him if he tried to talk her out of it and convince her to talk to me. He said he didn't. Next thing I know he had flatlined. Apparently a blood clot went through his heart. I've already given my statement. I'll see you girls later tonight."
After Eugene hung up his phone Cassandra slowly looked at her girlfriends. Her face was a ghostly white. "We have to go home now," she said. "Varian just died."
The girls got in their car and quickly made their way home where Eugene would be waiting for them.

Chapter Text
When Cassandra and her girlfriends got back home Eugene was calmly sitting on their couch. He stood up to meet them when they walked in the door.
"Eugene, oh God I'm so sorry." Cassandra said as she walked up to Eugene and hugged him.
"I'll be ok," he said. After they hugged they sat down on the couch by Samantha and Julie.
"Is there anything you want to talk about?" Cassandra asked. Eugene exhaled and said, "No, everything happened so fast that there wasn't anything I could do." Eugene hoped that his girlfriends wouldn't inquire further, but Cassandra had one more question.
"How did you know it was a blood clot? You would need an autopsy for that."
Eugene knew he was caught in a lie and he quickly became agitated. "Eugene," Cassandra said, showing no fear of him, despite being pregnant. "You have family here that can help you. We understand the amount of physical mental and spiritual stress you've been under. But you need to tell us the truth."
"You're...you're going to ha...hate me," Eugene said while Julie went into the kitchen to get him some water. His breathing became heavier as he became even more agitated.
Cassandra put her hands on his and said, "Eugene, no one hates you, and no one is going to hate you. Why would we say we want to help you if we're going to hate you?"
Julie came back from the kitchen and gave a shaking Eugene a drink of water. He took it from her and took a sip then handed it back to her with a thank you.
"Ok," Eugene said. "I was talking to Varian about Rapunzel, and he told me that she wanted to die without talking to me and that he didn't try to talk her out of it. I knew this already, but actually hearing it...
I got so mad when I heard him say that that I just stood there and stared at him. He looked back at me and he got this grotesque look on his face and he started to shake. When he did this demon appeared in front of me and then disappeared. When he did I hit Varians' call button but Varian died a few minutes later.
I was taken in for questioning and I told the police what happened, minus the demon, and I was released. And I've felt like shit ever since."
Cassandra rubbed her face and looked up at the ceiling then sat down on the couch before she spoke.
"That must be why Rapunzel stammered when I asked her how it would feel to watch Varian get thrown into Hell. She knew he was going. Even if she told him he must have written her off as a dream or a hallucination. Ok. This is depressing. Let's do something to get our minds off this. Any suggestions?"
"Let's just all go to bed," Julie said. "We all have long days tomorrow."
The four friends agreed and went to bed, but had a hard time going to sleep. Elsa was also having a hard time going to sleep.
"Anna," Elsa said as she shook her soundly sleeping sister.
"Huh, Elsa, what's wrong!?" A wide-eyed Anna asked as she sat up and took notice of the tears in her sisters eyes.
"Do...do you think I'm a selfish person?"
Anna could hear the hurt in her sisters voice and quickly became upset. "No! I don't! Now what brought this on?! Did someone harrass you while you were in Corona!?"
"Not harrass, per se. But I did have an unpleasant experience with a police officer by the name of Eugene Fitzherbert."
Annas nostrils flared as her face became red. "What happened!? What did he say to you!?"
"Anna, please calm down and let me explain, then you won't be so angry."
Anna took a deep breath and said, "I'm sorry. Tell me what happened."
"When I went to Corona to pay my respects for Derrick Baldwins death I was pulled over by Officer Fitzherbert for a minor traffic violation. I handed him my information and he asked why I was in Corona. I told him and,"
Elsa paused to wipe her eyes.
"And he said that I should forgive him if he didn't find me sincere, since I buy players like they are toys. He basically called me a liar and implied that I didn't care about anyone or anything if they couldn't win a championship."
Anna was starting to burn with anger, but kept her temper in check. Now she was also upset with her sister for not saying anything the day before. "Go on."
"I was more than upset with him, and I told him I was going to report him for his rude behavior. That is until I found out that the real source of his feelings wasn't entirely me."
"What was it?" Anna asked as her countenance softened slightly.
"He explained that in a very short period of time he had lost his wife to cancer and her parents were killed in a car crash. Then Derrick was killed. I told him I could get him in touch with a counsler, but he said he was doing at home therapy. I wished him luck and we parted ways."
"Elsa," Anna said as she took her sister by her hands. "That man had some very tragic experiences. But, what part of this makes you think you're selfish? And why didn't you say something yesterday?"
"Just look at our players contracts," Elsa scoffed. "For example, we're hoping our right fielder Jacob Friedman signs his ten year five hundred million extension. And I didn't say anything yesterday because I thought what Officer Fitzherbert told me would just go away, but it didn't. So, I've decided I want to do something."
"What is it you want to do?" By now Anna was neither angry with her sister, she was however still upset with Eugene.
"While I was driving back home from Simmons Field I drove by Corona General Hospital and became curious as to whether or not they had a cancer research center. After a quick drive through the parking lot I found that they did not have one. So, I want to donate enough money to the hospital so they can build one. If not on the campus, at least somewhere close by."
"Elsa, that is a wonderful idea," Anna said softly. "And you," Anna paused to kiss her wife on the lips. "Are anything but selfish."
"Mmmmm, you flavored your lips with strawberry," Elsa grinned.
"That isn't all I flavored." Anna took off her gown and stretched out on the bed, spreading her legs slightly and giving her sister access to her freshly shaven pussy.
Elsa licked her lips and let out a giggle as she got between her sisters legs, taking in her sweet scent.
"Ahhhh God this feels good," Anna moaned as she sat up and watched her pussy being licked by her sister. She looked briefly at her sisters tight ass and wished she could watch a man or a transwoman sensually and slowly fuck it. She leaned her head back and closed her eyes as she played out the scenario in her mind.
The man she imagined she gave the name Kristoff. He was six feet three inches tall with a muscular frame dusty blonde hair and well defined abs, a shaven body, and a seven inch cock.
Anna let out a relieved sigh as her imaginary friend fucked her sisters ass slowly. Anna would raise her hips slightly and hold them in place to coincide with every imaginary thrust.
Elsa had never felt her sister do this before, but she didn't mind it.
After a few minutes Anna started to imagine her friend fucking her sisters ass faster. "God this is so hot!"
Anna raised and lowered her hips faster in response as she started to finger her clit. "Fuck yes! I'm cumming!"
Elsa was pleasantly suprised at her sister who was never very vocal when she came. 'First moving her hips the way she is, and now this? I don't know what has gotten into my sister, but I am going to find out.'
After Anna had cum her sister got on her knees beside her and squeezed her left breast and nipple with one hand while she fingered her with the other.
All Anna could do was close her eyes and moan as she leaned her head back and felt herself cum around her sisters long fingers. "Elsa! Goddamn it!"
Elsa smiled and took off her gown. Anna looked at her sisters hard twitching cock and wanted desperately to put it in her mouth and suck on it. Anna reached for her sisters cock but Elsa teaseingly backed away from her sister.
Anna looked at her with a playful growl and lunged at her sister. Elsa moved out of the way only for her sister to try and pounce on her again. Elsa again moved out of the way and proceeded to scamper down the hallway, giggling as her sister chased after her.
When they got to their living room Elsa got on one side of the couch that was in the middle of the room and Anna got on the other side.
"Gotcha now!" Anna declared. Elsa tried to dart back and forth, but there was no escaping her sister. They looked at each other and Anna got on the couch with her back to her sister then got on all fours.
Anna bit her lip in anticipation of having her pussy spread by her sisters cock, but Elsa wasn't ready just yet. She got on all fours behind her sister and started to again eat her out.
"Elsa! Shit!" Anna screamed as she tried to reach for her sister. "Please, fuck me! I want your cock inside me!"
"Fuck you're tight!" Elsa said as she slid her cock into her sisters tight pussy and slowly fucked it. "Anna, you've never been so tight!"
"I'm just...fuck...really aroused tonight." Anna wasn't going to say a word about her imaginary friend. "Can you fuck me harder?"
Elsa took Anna by her hands and slightly pulled her back as she picked up the pace.
Anna just closed her eyes and let out soft moans as she felt the head of her sisters cock hit the back of her pussy.
After a minute Elsa pulled out and sat down on the couch. Anna turned around and took her her sisters twitching cock into her mouth. Her arousal was heightened even further when she felt her butt hole being fingered. She knew it was her sister, but in her imagination it was Kristoff's dick.
Anna moved her hips back in response to Elsa's touch as she sucked harder on her cock. "Anna fuck! I'm going to cum!"
Anna looked up at Elsa and stopped then stradled her. Elsa entered her a and fucked her fast and hard as they kissed passionately. After they kissed they both let out loud groans as Elsa came deep inside her sister.
"Anna, holy fuck," Elsa said as Anna and her tried to catch their breath. "What got into you?"
"I told you I was more aroused than normal," Anna said as she stood up.
"I know 'that.'" Elsa said "But what caused it?"
"Can't we just enjoy the fact that we had really great sex?" Anna defelcted. She was hoping her sister would agree and drop the matter.
"We did. But, what did I do different?"
"You didn't do anything different," Anna said. "I was just more aroused than normal. And judging by your still hard cock, you are too. Are you sure you didn't do anything different?"
"Ok. You got me. I did do something different." Elsa confessed with a look of guilt on her face. "But I'm afraid to tell you what it is."
"I did something different too. And I'm also afraid to tell you what it is."
"Is he a six foot three, muscualr, police officer with black hair and a seven inch cock?"
"Elsa, you want to fuck the guy that pulled you over?!"
"Well, he may have invaded my thoughts while I was eating you out in the bedroom."
"I had the same thoughts, sort of," Anna admitted. "You want to ask him out?"
"I don't know..."
"Come on. What's the worst he could do? Turn you down?"
"Ok, when we go to Corona tomorrow I'll see about looking him up."
"Excellent. Now let's go to bed."
After going another round Anna and Elsa went to bed. The next morning they got up and put on business clothes then made their way to Corona.
Notes:
In the next chapter Anna and Elsa get to meet Eugene, and his three girlfriends.
