Beauty and the Beast ( Sequel to Welcome to Wonderland)

Sheep in Wolf's Clothing

Gunnar sat across from the man in a starch grey business suit, who was calculating his every dime made; he was getting impatient until the man removed his glasses with a pleasant look.

"It seems you have great potential to buy a house, car, and as you mentioned a child. You do need to set up a savings though it will help build interest. "

"That means what?"

"It mean, Mr. Jensen, that you are finically set for a great few years if you keep making this kind of money."

Gunnar was relieved when he heard the great news. He was handed a stack of papers different ways to save money and build credit. They exchanged hand shakes and departed ways. On the way home, the large giant stopped by the Ross's to see the happy couple sitting in the garage, drinking and having a good conversation. They turned when they heard Jensen's bike stopped. He waited for Shire to wave him over to join; Gunnar stopped at the garage enterance. Barney raised a brow at the surprise visit.

"I did what you told me to."

"Yea?"

Gunnar nodded, handing over the paper showing what he was told. Shire and Barney read it thoroughly.

"I want to but a house. Give Paz what she wants and deserves. "

Shire was over joyed. Barney was impressed and curious.

"You came here for help didn't ya?"

"And if he did, babe, we will help. Our money isn't tight, but we do have five people to provide for. "

"No, money involved. Just help with looking for houses and a ring..."

The Ross couple was silent; they saw the most violent prone man before then become sheepish and shy. Barney stood and nodded for the man to follow him inside to his bedroom.

"Ya wanna buy her a ring? Get a house? Then you need to meet Shire and I here tomorrow morning, tell Paz it is personal and she can stay here until we are done. "

Gunnar smiled, slapping his friends shoulders and bounded off to his bike. He was filling with hope that he could have what Barney Ross has or at least a small chunk. The ride home was quick; he parked the bike and rushed inside to see his woman folding clothes. She smiled when she met his eyes.

"How did it go?"

"Good, I have to take care of some loose ends tomorrow. You can stay here or hang out with the kids."

Paz was getting worried at his sudden change, but she brushed it off because he still came home to her,smelling like when he left.

"I hang with the kids. Is everything okay?

Gunnar pushed her onto her back, kissing her deeply and received a low moan. He pulled away, and Paz looked daze.

"Couldn't be more perfect."
