Papa, Don't Preach (c)

"I will kill this kid!" Jimmy sneered, he shrugged off Gypsy's grip.

"I'd like to see you try! You're twice my age and I ain't a fucking kid, old man!" Sean screamed back at him, wiping the blood from his mouth.

Raven could see they were about to go after each other again, the both of them acting like stupid children. "ENOUGH!" She bellowed and glared at them both. "You are both too stubborn idiots! Jimmy this is ridiculous. They're in love. Just let them be happy. My son is a good man, you're just too blinded and stubborn to see it." She stepped up to him.

"And if you ever lay your hands on my boy again I will make you have one less hand to live with." Mia glared at Jimmy.

[Gypsy]

Jacquie burst into tears, running off to her room.

Gypsy groaned. "Dammit, Jimmy. She's 21! I was sixteen when I had her! Sixteen! What are you so bent out a' shape about?!"

[raven]

"Jacquie!" Sean immediately went after his wife, glaring at Jimmy before he did. "Baby...hey..." He stepped inside her room cautiously and shut the door behind them.

"Gypsy's right, they ain't kids anymore. God, Jimmy...your daughter and my son plotted this whole thing so they could be together. What is so wrong with him?"

"He's trouble Rae. Your son is trouble and I didn't want this kind of life for daughter!" Jimmy said.

"What life?" Rae asked, "Our life? I think we had a pretty good fucking time. Sure we ain't rich but we have each other..."

[Gypsy]

Gypsy sighed and slid her arms around Jimmy's waist, looking up at him. "Jimmy. Let it go. It's done. She worships the ground you walk on. Don't ruin this for her. Besides," she kissed him gently. "It'll be our first grandbaby." She kissed him again, then turned her head to smile at Rae.

Jacquie, in the meantime, had flung herself onto the bed, sobbing. "He hates me! He'll never speak to me again!"

[raven]

Jimmy narrowed his eyes and then looked down at his wide. He kissed her cheek and rubbed her arm. "Fine."

"he hates me, sweetie not you," Sean said with a sigh and then sat down on the edge of her bed. He tenderly rubbed her back.

[Gypsy]

Gypsy nodded. "Good. Now go apologize." She gave Jimmy a pointed look -- he didn't really have a choice on this one.

Jacquie cried into her pillow. "But I don't understand why!"

[raven]

Jimmy sighed heavily, "Fine." he grumbled.

"I dunno either, but it's just the way it is." he gently ran his fingers through her hair.

Gypsy pushed in in the direction of Jacquie's room, then sighed and looked at Rae. "Well, Grandma, how do ya them apples?"

Jacquie sniffled, starting to calm down, shifting to lay her head in Sean's lap.

[raven]

"I ain't surprised are you? And Jesus I an way to young to be Granma," she shook her head but was smiling.

Sean tenderly ran his fingers through her hair. "It don't matter, I got you and that's all that counts."

[Script]

Gypsy snorted. "Amen to that."

Jacquie nodded, sniffling, then sat up when there was a knock at the bedroom door. "Who--who is it?"

[Gypsy]

((Bleh, sorry, just realized I wasn't signed in as Gypsy.))

[raven]

Rae laughed, "Well that's what happens when you start popping 'em out as a teenager." She shrugged.

"It's your father," Jimmy said.

Sean sighed heavily, "I should go.."

[Gypsy]

Jacquie squeezed Sean's hand. "No. Stay." She wiped her eyes. "Come in."

[raven]

Jimmy entered the room and cleared his throat awkwardly. "I just wanted to apologize."

Sean raised a brow at him, "Really?"

[Gypsy]

Jacquie pinched Sean's arm, giving him a Look. "Let him finish." She looked back at her father. "You were saying, Daddy?"
