------------- Chapter 7 -------------
"So, you are staying with me then?" Jamie smiled. Beppe had been so scared that Jamie would leave him. Jamie shook his head.
"No, I love you. We're gonna be a big family. A big disfunctional, rather odd family." Jamie said laughing. Beppe kissed him.
Beppe walked into E 20 that afternoon. Pauline was sitting down by herself. Beppe sat next to her. "What's wrong Pauline?" He asked.
"My son left me for a man." She said. "I mean, I'm blood, that... boy, he's just sperm." She said. Beppe snickered. She looked at him oddly.
"Sorry. Look, have you talked to him on the phone yet?" He asked. She shook her head. He smiled. "Call him Pauline." He said. He got up and walked over to Lisa and Mark. They were sitting at the bar talking. "How you folks doing today?" He asked. Lisa gave him an angry look. She whispered something into Marks ear. He nodded and left the bar. "What's wrong?" He asked.
"Oh, besides the fact that you are splitting a family up, nothing much." Beppe rolled his eyes. "Don't roll your eyes at meBeppe DiMarco, you are nothing but gutter trash. And you're a homewrecking homosexual." She said. Beppe laughed.
"Ok, you stupid twat. You know what? I wasn't supposed to tell you, but Sonia was sleeping around before she got pregnant." Lisa was shocked. She sat there stupified. "Oi, say something you right cow." A tear came out of her eye.
"I'm sorry Beppe." She said.
"That's right, with good reason. You fucking slapper." He said. He got up and walked away. Lisa started to cry.
Jamie walked into the E 20 in his pajama bottoms and no shirt. It was Midnight and he wanted Beppe to cuddle up to, he didn't care about anyone seeing him. Everyone stared at Jamie's bare chest. He had a six pack going, and a treasure trail, but no other hair on his chest. He walked up to Lisa. "Oi, where's Bepps?" He asked. She cried even more. "What's wrong?" He asked.
"I'm a bitch." She said. Jamie hugged her.
"No, you're not." He said. She told him what all she said to Beppe. "Oh please, I lay into him everyday. I'll go have a chat with him and fix it all." He said. "But, only on one condition." He said.
"What is it?" She asked.
"I wanna babysit Louise next time you need help." She laughed and nodded. Jamie went to talk with Beppe and in an hour everything was fine.
"Oh Lisa, I'm sorry." Beppe said hugging her.
"Now come on babe. We have got some cuddiling to do." Jamie said. They went home and cuddled all night. Amongst other things.
------------- Chapter 8 -------------
Jamie woke up the next morning alone. Perfect, Beppe had left without telling him goodbye. Oh well, he had wanted to go through Beppe's stuff anyways. He got up and walked to the end of the bed. He reached under the matress. No luck. He reached under the other side.
"If you're looking for porn, it's in my closet Jamie." Beppe said upset looking. Jamie smiled. Beppe was in the bathroom.
"I wanted to see if you were really all gay. I thought maybe you were bi." Beppe got an angry look on his face.
"Does it matter? I mean, I am with you right now, not a girl. I don't believe in snooping around Jamie. If you want to know something just ask me." Jamie nodded.
"I just wanted to know..." Beppe cut him off.
"Jamie, I told you already. What, you think I would lie?" He asked. Jamie shrugged. Beppe got angry. "I would never lie to you Jamie." Beppe said. He picked up Jamie's overnight bag. "I think you should go home." He said. Jamie looked upset. He had been staying 'overnight' for 2 weeks now. He considered himself to live there.
Jamie was now angry. He walked over and grabbed his bag. He got into Beppe's face. "Funny, I thought I was home." He said. He walked out.
Jamie walked into The Vic that afternoon. He was in need of a shower and home. Peggy spotted him. "Jamie, come here." She said. Jamie walked to her. :What are you doing? You looke like crap." She said.
"Beppe kicked me out." He said.
"Well, now you can go back to Sonia." She said smiling. Jamie shook his head.
"Sonia was screwing around before me." He said. Peggy mouthed 'oh' and turned around. She grabbed a key from behind the bar.
"Ok, you're staying upstairs sweety." She said. Jamie smiled and went to hug her. Peggy put her hands out.
"Sweety, you need a shower." She said. He smiled. Mark walked in with Louise.
"Jamie, Lisa said you wanted to babysit?" He asked. Jamie smiled.
"Ya, but do you mind if Peggy watches her while I take a shower?" He asked. Peggy beamed. She loved watching Louise. Mark nodded. Jamie went upstairs to shower.
"So, where are You and Lisa going then?" Peggy asked, holding the baby.
"We're going out for a nice lunch, then I am taking her shopping." He said. Peggy laughed. "What?" Mark asked smiling.
"Shopping, with Lisa? God, you'll be gone for hours." She said.
"I know." He said rolling his eyes. "But Jamie wanted to take care of the baby for a while so I decided to be a hero and take her on a shopping spree." He said. Peggy laughed. "Well, best be going." He said. Peggy and Mark parted ways, as she took care of the baby and he went shopping with Lisa.
'RIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGG' The phone rang. Pauline picked it up. "'Ello?" She asked.
"Mum?" Martin said on the other end.
"Sweety, how are you?" She asked.
"I'm good. Guess where I was." He said.
"Where?" She said smiling.
"Disney Land." He said laughing. Pauline laughed.
"Did you have fun?" She asked.
"Ya, Me, Stee, Mel, and Robbie rode a bunch of rides, then Stee bought me this 200 dollar ring with Mickey Mouse on it." He said.
"Oh how nice. Wait, who is Robbie?" She asked.
"Melanie's new fiancee." He said.
"Mel's engaged?" She asked.
"Ya, but don't tell Lisa, she wants to surprise her." He said.
"I thought they hated each other now." She said.
"Well, Me and Stee talked to her and she is almost ready to forgive her." He said. Pauline nodded. "Well look, Mum, I've gotta go, but I'll ring you later." He said.
"Oh no, you just called." She said. He laughed. "Sweety..." She said sadly.
"Mum, I miss you." He said. Pauline smiled. "And I wanna come home..."
