ODDS OF LOVE : ONE MOMENT

Episode 37

DuBuis loved his sister but he wanted to smack her right now as he watched her openly and drunkenly smirking at all of them gathered around the table. Especially his husband who was doing his level best to ignore her as he kept discussing modern parenting techniques with Glory.

He had warned her to keep off Spencer, he thought as he leaned forward and almost hissed," Sis , you were warned before. Keep your mouth shut or get out. Maybe you need to go in the kitchen and make some coffee. "

Faith took another sip from her flask , a longer one. " Maybe you should just shut up for the first time in forever , big brother. You always talk too much. Even back in our old Project W days. No wonder Sylvia can't stand you. "

Spencer spoke up then. " I don't want that woman's name mentioned at the table. And , you should be nicer to your brother. DuBuis sacrificed a lot growing up especially for you all. He didn't even have a bedroom growing up. "

Faith laughed harshly. " Right. Good old Saint DuBuis. For all his sacrifices he got exactly what he wanted. He got his grand romance. With you. " She finished off the beer before her. " Look let's just acknowledge this farce here. That stepmommy put into play. Y'all better watch your step round her. In the stories stepmommies always come with a lot of evil and big shiny red apples. Don't they? Remember Santa Fats , big brother? You hated Daddy Sam and all he wanted was to give us a good non Project W life. He even gave you your precious bedroom. I can't believe I came to this thing. Look what we have here. " She pointed at Nigel who was trying to pretend to be not visible. " Someone who should be wearing a damn bag over his head while we eat......"

Richard stood up then. His eyes glittered with cold rage as he shot out tersely," Don't you dare talk about this man. Your damn girlfriend tried to kill him. "

Faith laughed. " Oh please. It's not all Pammy's fault. Why are people like him allowed to drive? I mean can he really see out of that eye of his? I mean really. And why do I care what you think, Richard Almighty Norland? You're basically the Grinch come to life. You were never seen after your brother had his" accident " but here you are now. Big and bold and defending a freak. "

Richard lost it at that point and rushed at Faith which prompted DuBuis and Andrew to jump up and hold him back.

" And you, " she continued on with her bleary eyes locked on Andrew Norland. " You. The great abandoning daddy come back years later with a hard luck story. Another not seen after the" accident ". How's it feel to be King of the Deadbeat Daddies, Andy boy ? "

DuBuis snapped," That's it ! Get. Out. Now. "

Faith rolled her eyes. " When. I. Am. Finished. Eating. "
