Love Has No Boundaries (Straight Furry Fanfiction)

Chapter 20: Family Fight

5 Months Later
Tom's P.o.V

I was back to good health but was still in pain when I moved. My parents had won the case and James was back in jail, hopefully, for a very long time. I looked at myself in the mirror and sighed. "Okay, let's try a new start" I said to myself and cleared my throat. "Emily, since the first day I saw you, I was in love with you. Yeah that's good" I said and wrote it on a piece of paper. "And when you told me you had feelings for me, I knew I would become the happiest husky alive" I said writing it down. "So that's why we're here. So I can say, Emily. Will you marry me?" I asked opening the box. I grinned and got up, closing the box. "Right, I think that's perfect" I said writing down the last part. "Yeah, that does sound perfect" someone said and I turned to see Derek at my door. "Oh um, hi Derek" I said slightly blushing. "Don't be embarrassed Tommy. I think she'll love it" he said and I nodded. "Thanks Derek, just don't tell anyone, please" I said and he chuckled. "So, once again I'm keeping secrets for you Tommy. Is this all I'm going to be doing?" He asked and I laughed. "I hit you but I don't want to cause myself pain" I said and his face went to a concerned look. "Does it still hurt to move?" He asked walking in my room and shutting the door. "Yeah, but only if I do certain movements" I said as he sat on my chair. "I'm sorry that happened to you Tommy. But I won't let it happen again" he said as I sat on my bed. "It wasn't your fault Derek. I saw the man pointing a gun at me in the forest. I had to follow him when he pointed it at Emily" I said upset slightly. "Yeah, okay Tommy. But at least James is in jail again so he can't hurt either of you" he said standing up. "You gotta go?" I asked standing up and walking over. "Yeah, I'll see you soon" he said ruffling my hair and walking out. I closed my door and walked back over to my mirror. "One more time Tom" I said to myself getting my notes ready.

Timeskip To Next Evening

"No, no, no, no. Fuck!" I shouted as the zombies downed me. "Ryan, I'm down" I said shooting them from the floor. "I'm on my way Tom, don't worry" Ryan said sliding over and reviving me. "Thanks Ryan, but you need to help me to Jugg" I said getting up. "Let's go then" he said and led me towards the stairs. I ran up and slid past 2 zombies as Ryan trained them. "Oh shit, I'm surrounded" he said as was downed. I brought Jugg but was downed before I could get my gun back out. "God dammit!" Ryan said as I kicked my wall. "Well round 27 isn't that bad" Ryan said and I sighed. "Yeah, that's true. Alright I got to go make dinner, my parents are out" I said closing Black Ops 3. "Okay, see you later, Ghost" Ryan said laughing and I chuckled. "Haven't heard that in a very long time" I said and turned off my PC. I got up and walked out my room and down the stairs. I opened the fridge to see what we had but there was nothing. I sighed and picked up my phone and went to the Pizza Mutt website. I ordered 2 large pizzas with ham and bacon on them and some mini donuts. I turned on the Tv and the DVD player. I picked up Star Wars and put the disc in the DVD player. I sat down on the sofa and put my feet up. The movie started and I paused it and waited for the pizza to get here.

There was a knock at the door and I thought pizza's here. I got up and walked over to the door and opened it. To my surprise, Rebecca was standing there, in the rain, with Exze in her arms. "Rebecca, what wrong?" I asked as she walked in. "Do you have *sniff* a towel?" She asked as I shut the door. "Of course, I'll get you one" I said and speed walked upstairs to the bathroom and got a towel. I went back downstairs and gave it to her. "Can you hold Exze please?" She asked and I took him. "Tommy" Exze said and I tickled his belly making him giggle cutely. "Yes Exze, I am Tommy" I said as Rebecca finished drying herself. I put Exze down on the sofa and turned to Rebecca. "What happened Rebecca, why are you here?" I asked and she started to cry. "I was attacked" she said hugging my tightly making me yelp in the pain it caused me. "Sorry Tom, I *sniff* forgot you're hurt" she said letting go. She sat down on the sofa as there was another knock at the door. I walked over and opened it and this time it was the pizza man. I took the pizzas and donuts and thanked him. I closed the door and walked back over to Rebecca and Exze, who was sitting on her lap. "I hope you like ham and bacon. I wasn't expecting visitors" I said handing one of the pizzas to her. "Then why do you have two?" She asked drying her eyes. "I'm very hungry, and what I wouldn't have eaten tonight I would tomorrow" I said sitting next her and getting a slice of pizza out. "Thanks for this Tom. You're so nice" she said eating a slice of pizza. "So, who attacked you?" I asked eating another slice. "D-Derek" she said making me choke on the pizza I was eating. "Why would Derek attack you? You're his wife" I said so confused as he was fine earlier. "He wanted to go away for a year but without Exze so we can be 'in peace'. I told him I won't go anywhere without my son. We started to argue and in the end he hit me hard in the face" she said and I was so shocked that Derek would do this. "After I grabbed Exze and ran out to my car and drove over here" she said and cried again. I patted her back and she hugged me again, gently this time. "I'm not hurting you, am I?" She said as I hugged back. "No, don't worry. I can stand the pain if it means I help someone feel better. "I said and she let go and smiled. "Thanks Tom" she said and we continued to eat.

Exze had fallen asleep and Rebecca was lying down on the sofa. "So, you're not coming back until tomorrow?" I asked. "No, we're way too drunk Tommy boy, see you tomorrow" my dad said before hanging up. I put the phone down and there was another knock at the door. I walked over and opened it, expecting anything at this point, but it was just Derek. "Derek, you can't be here" I said stopping him from entering. "Tom, stay out of this one. I don't want to hurt you" he said but I stood my ground. "You're brave showing your face near her after what you did" I said and Derek pushed me making me fall over backwards. "Tom, what's happ... Derek, go away" Rebecca said getting up and picking up Exze as I stood up. "That's my son too, you don't have the right to take him away from me" Derek said walking towards me to get round the sofa. I put my paws on his chest and pushed him back. "I warned you Tommy" he said and I put my hands up to block a head attack. "I know how you fight" I said as he swung for my head and I blocked it. I grabbed his arm and punched him in the chest twice before being slapped. I swiped the back of his legs as Rebecca ran to the kitchen to keep Exze out of danger. I kicked Derek in the legs until he grabbed my leg and pulled me down. We both got up slowly and I hit him, hurting my chest from the movement, and making him stumble. He walked back over and I went to block any head attacks but he surprised me. I felt him hit my ribs and the pain washed over me as I fell to the ground. Derek started to walk over to Rebecca and I grabbed his ankle. He turned and kicked me in the snout before heading towards Rebecca and Exze again. "Bad!" Exze squealed, crying and pointing at Derek making him stand still. He looked back at me and then at Rebecca and Exze. "Oh no, what have I done?" He said in shock as Rebecca rushed past him to me. "Are you okay Tom?" She asked helping me sit up. "No, I can't move much" I said as I was in tremendous pain from being hit in the ribs. "Get out Derek!" Rebecca said as Derek looked over at her. "What?" He said with tears in his eyes. "Get Out!" She screamed and Derek nodded and ran out as Rebecca kneeled back down next to me. "You shouldn't have done that, he'll be upset for ages" I said. "I'm just going to call you an ambulance okay?" She said and I nodded. I hope Derek's fine and they can sort this out.
