Jeraina Faye sat Josephine down. "Bring me something of his, his underwear perhaps, or a towel he wiped himself with. That is all I shall need, and $500." Josephine looked surprised when she heard the amount, but stood to leave, ready to get on her mission. Jeraina Faye gave her a little bag of orris root. "Sprinkle this in your daughter's room, and bring me what I ask. You shall get exactly what you want!", said Jeraina Faye. Josephine took the bag and gave her a $100 dollar bill." I will bring the rest when I get what you need", she assured Jeraina Faye. Josephine left , determined to find what she needed. Victorine watched as she left. "Mamma, what are you gonna do? What are you thinking about doing to this boy?", she asked. Jeraina Faye smirked, then said, " We'll see."

Merlynne dressed for her date with Hadrien. She picked out her shortest pair of hip hugging shorts and an oversized off the shoulder blouse. She wanted to look good for him. She was swollen down there from the amazing sex they had last night. Hadrien pounded into her, and with the size he is , she's lucky she could walk today. His week at the motel was up today, and she wanted to make the most of it. She wasn't sure what would happen to them once he went back home, wherever that was. She hopped in her car and drove to the LaQuinta. When she knocked on the door, he opened to welcome her in. He gave her a hug, then sat her down. "Ever since we been kicking it, I've been so happy! You allowed me to get loose and have fun. I love that about you. But, I've found out that I'm about to be a father, so I have responsibilities. I can't say if me and Victorine will get back together or not. I can't say that right now. But right here, right now, today, is all about you and me, okay? You don't know what you've done to me, Merlynne.", he said. Merlynne kissed his lips. " Don't say anything. Just make love to me!" ,she said, ripping off his shirt. Hadrien lift her up and cupped her ass. He brought her to the bed and removed the rest of their clothes. Merlynne's body felt so good. Hadrien took all she gave, going deep inside her. Merlynne thought she would split in half. She arched her back and took all of him. When they climaxed, Merlynne thought about how this might be their last time together. She held onto Hadrien tightly as she cried silently.

Teta unpacked her last box after saging the whole house. Fiyah helped her set everything up. She looked at his lean body, a sheen of sweat all over him. "That's it. All done", he said. " Well then, I think we need to bless our new home.", said Teta , suggestively. Fiyah took her hand and pulled her to him. He took out a spliff and lit it while pinching one of her nipples. Teta moaned in pleasure when he exhaled the smoke into her face, his hand between her legs. He took another hit then put the joint to her lips. Teta inhaled deeply, the course smoke invading her throat. She blew it all out, deeply looking into his eyes. Fiyah's desire kicked up. The Kundalini began to rise. Teta and Fiyah came together, kissing passionately. They made their way to the bed , where they made primal love to each other. The room filled with powerful vibrations. As they lay in each other's arms, Teta felt blessed. Fiyah reached over and took something out of his pants pockets. Teta looked on in amazement as Fiyah pulled out a silver band. "Teta, will you marry me?", he asked. Teta kissed him, then said, " Yes. Yes my love, I will marry you!" He slipped the band on her finger, and she rolled him onto his back. Teta licked his neck and nuzzled it. She knew if he bit her, she too would be lupine. She presented her self, ass up. Fiyah took what she was offering and mounted her, his stomach on her back. Fiyah tunneled into Teta's body, sealing their love for one another.
They decided to have a small, private ceremony. They were married and in love. They had a new lease on life. Loving each other brought out the best in each other. On their wedding night, when he bit her, she fully succumbed to him, his long, lupine penis transforming while inside of her. She arched her back and took all of him, his body slamming into hers. A howl escaped his throat as his thrusts got deeper and deeper. A second bite to the side of her neck, and she curled up like a baby, helplessly taking the doppelganger of engorged, lupine penis. Her mind was a swirl. A scream escaped her throat, her wet flood cascading into his. They lay spent, hearts racing. A tiny spark of life popped. Teta and Fiyah lay together, happy to just be.

Victorine visited Dreeky in the Marigny. They talked about all that had been happening lately. " Do you miss Hadrien, Victorine? ", asked Dreeky. Victorine sucked her teeth and tried to lie to herself and Dreeky. " No, bitch! I'm just...I'm just..", she trailed off, then started sobbing. Dreeky hugged her close. "I miss him so much, Dreeky! He don't even wanna talk to me. I heard he's already been out with some girl, all through the French Quarter! Dreeky, I don't know what to do! Derek already acting funny! I just wish I knew who the baby was for!", she cried. Dreeky thought a moment, then asked, " Well, isn't there a way you can tell? A divination? " Right then, her phone rang. It was Hadrien. She quickly answered, trying not to sound like she had been crying. "Hello?", she asked. " I'm ready to talk, if you are. Meet me at DAT Dog in about thirty minutes. I'll be there. ", he said. Victorine agreed and hung up the phone, looking at Dreeky for inspiration. " We better fix that makeup, girl!", he said, making Victorine smile.
When she arrived, Hadrien was already there, sitting at a table. She took a deep breath, put her hand in her pocket and gave the love charm in there a squeeze, then walked over to him. He stood as she sat, a real gentleman. She noticed a change in him. He wore his long dreads in a new style. He looked great. "Thank you for meeting me here. I really need to know what happened to get us here.", she said." Well, let's see. I slept with Teta because you kept playing with my mind. Then you slept with Derek. You became pregnant somewhere in all that. Then, your mamma took it from me. She raped me on the sofa in the living room while you slept, the day I bought the bassinet.", he said angrily. Victorine's heart swelled. "I'm so sorry Hadrien, " she said. "I had to get away from it all. You made it clear that you didn't want the baby to be mine, but it is.", he declared. She was about to ask how he knew, when he beat her to it. " Teta gave me a reading. She saw that the baby is mine. So, we just gonna have to come up with some sort of plan, because I will take care of my child. Even if we're not together, my child will be taken care of." Victorine winced at his statement about them not being together. " Ready to order? ", he asked nonchalantly. Victorine ordered the Classic Datburger and Hadrien had the Crawfish etoufee' Dog. He looked at her while they awaited their food. She looked a bit pale, like she hadn't had a good night's sleep in a minute. When their food came, Victorine ate heartily. He was glad to see she had an appetite at least. They ate their food, making small talk. After they were done, Victorine caught a bad cramp as she stood up. The pain was excruciating. Victorine cried out in pain. Hadrien walked her to his truck and drove her to Tulane. They rushed her into the emergency room, Hadrien following. They stopped him, then made him wait in the lobby. Hadrien's mind raced. The little baby was his, after all, and a part of him still cared for Victorine. Victorine's cramping settled down a bit. The doctor asked her if she had taken anything or had sex in the past 24 hours. Victorine told the doctor about Derek's dogging of her. " He likes to go deep, and rough with me.", she said, embarrassed. The doctor told her not to let him get rough with her, and prescribed her the same pain medication as before. The ultrasound came back, revealing the sex of the baby, a girl. Victorine cried then, seeing her daughter. They gave her a copy and kept her overnight for observations. Hadrien went to her bedside as soon as he was allowed. Victorine lay in bed, IV in arm, looking tired. He saw a faint glow trying to break out from her. He then tried to love and forgive her, for their baby's sake. She handed him the ultrasound picture. As Hadrien tried to figure out what he was looking at, she said hoarsely, "It's a girl." Hadrien looked at the baby, the tiny shape. He then looked at Victorine and held her hand. "She's beautiful", he said, looking her in the eyes.

Dreeky's husband, Cesaire was having a showing at a gallery in the Garden District. It was a big deal, and Dreeky was proud of his man. Cesaire had been hard at work designing his pieces. He already had buyers lined up. It was an exciting time for them. There was to be a performance by the Wild Tchoupitulas Mardi Gras Indians. Cesaire booked NolaGirl again to cater the affair. Victorine and Hadrien walked up to Dreeky and Cesaire, a plate of boudin pot stickers in her hand. " What?", she asked, her mouth full. "I'm eating for two now!" Dreeky laughed, glad to see his friends trying to work things out. Hadrien and Cesaire talked about a certain piece, while Victorine and Dreeky went back to the spread of delectable food. Victorine grabbed a couple of crab sliders and Dreeky had a pulled BBQ brisket slider. They sat at a table, Dreeky sipping from his glass of champagne, Victorine sipping sparkling water. "How y'all doing? Are y'all gonna stop playing games with each other and work things out or what?", asked Dreeky, sassily. Victorine looked at her friend and laughed. " Ever since I got back from the hospital, he's been trying to be there for me. But since my mamma did what she did, he won't stay at the house with me. And he hasn't tried to sleep with me. I think he's still seeing that other girl. He's staying at TonTon's until he finds a new place. I don't know what will happen then. But I am glad we're speaking.", she said. " Girl, I had so much trouble telling Derek to go. Girl, he had came home late, drunk and smelling the weed. I wanted to talk to him, to tell him things wasn't working out. Before I could talk to him, he started hollering and grabbing himself. He said, "My dick! My dick is hurting!" I looked at him trying to understand what was happening. He fell to the floor! Girl, we had to call an ambulance to come get him! He went back to his mamma's house after that.
Dreeky, I think it was my mamma that did that to him!", said Victorine, worriedly. Dreeky sipped his champagne and wondered how long it would take for Victorine to break free from her mamma's spell.

Jeraina Faye walked out onto the front porch and sat down, lighting her a cigarette. Josephine had came back with what she had asked and the money. She read the cards then, revealing what she suspected; Derek was the seed dropper in question who got Josephine's 18 year old daughter, Brittany, pregnant. Josephine wanted his dick to shrivel, so that's what happened. According to Victorine, the ambulance had to come get his ass. Jeraina Faye smiled, smoke escaping her nostrils. Just then, she saw Hadrien's truck coming up the road. She watched as he opened the door for Victorine, then got back in his truck. She saw him cast a glance her way, and she smiled. Her daughter was slow, but at least he was coming by more. Jeraina Faye couldn't wait to have him again. She stood as Victorine reached the porch.
"He could've got down! Nobody gonna bite him!", she said nastily.
Victorine looked at her mamma and said, " I think its time you and Dex went back. Don't you have a place in New Orleans all paid for?", asked Victorine. Jeraina Faye looked at her hard. "So, you ready to throw us out now, after we done came down here and helped you. You called me, begging for help! You did! Remember that!", she said. Victorine wanted to get some rest, not argue with her mamma. " You went too far, mamma! You know that! What you send out comes back, times three!", she pleaded. Jeraina Faye wasn't hearing it. "That old superstition doesn't apply to me! I do what the fuck I want, when I want! It would do you good to remember that!", she warned, walking into the house. " And what about you, huh? The way you keep fixing them men!" Victorine tuned her out. She was tired. Victorine held a bag of food Hadrien had bought her. She walked to her room after getting a bottle of water. The plate lunch of barbecued pork steak, potato salad, baked beans and bread held her in sway. Victorine ate her food, thankful that Hadrien thought about her standing at a stove and wanted her to get some rest. It would be so much easier if he would move back in with her. But she knew he wasn't coming back as long as her mamma was here. She also had to cut ties with Derek. He called her phone just as she finished her plate. " Hey baby girl? I'm coming over!", he said. "Look Derek, I don't think that's a good idea! Didn't you just have to be rushed to Tulane because your dick was hurting? Derek, you been fucking around, and I know it. You played me. I think its best we end shit now, before shit get ugly. Who do you think you're playing with? You forgot, I can do much worst than make your dick hurt! I can make it fall off! So , leave me alone Derek! We done!", she finalized. Derek couldn't believe what he was hearing. " What about the baby, huh? , he asked. " She's not yours, Derek! Now you should go home to your baby or babies and leave me the fuck alone!", she yelled. Derek's pride was touched. " Fuck you, bitch!", he yelled. " I know what you did to Tameka! Fucking juju bitch! I bet you fixed me, too!" "You don't know shit!", she yelled. " Keep on, Derek! You sure you wanna call me bitch? Maybe I should show you right goddamned now!" Victorine walked into the spare room, taking out the doll she fashioned of Derek. She twist it swiftly, causing a sharp pain in his chest. "Don't fuck with me!", she yelled into the phone. Derek caught his chest, stumbling. His heart raced and sweat poured down his face. " Okay! Okay! ", he said then she hung up her phone. She felt different; she felt like her mamma.
