He's Forbidden, as am I

Brian pulled into his driveway, not the least bit alarmed by the squad car parked on the street in front of his house. He was a little surprised to see that Johnny was still here. He walked into the house, an amused little smile coming out at the three bodies on the couch with eyes glued to the TV. "What's going on here?" he asked as he set his keys and briefcase on the end table. "The Walking Dead." Tammy pointed at the TV, none of them bothering to look at him. "Is that your TV?" he asked, getting a better look, noticing her Xbox hooked up as well. "Yeah, it's too big for my room. You can have it." she said, tilting her head back to give him a smile. Brian quickly looked away, having a clear shot down her tank top, not seeing that smile turn into a slight frown.

"Aren't you supposed to be working?" Brian thumped Zack in the back of the head in passing as he went to sit in one of the chairs. "I have my radio," Zack gave him a finger, "now if you don't mind, we just started season three." he dismissed him, looking back to the screen. Brian looked at the TV, and shook his head. "Zombies, like that'll ever happen." he mumbled before suddenly getting hit in the face with a throw pillow literally thrown at him. "You shut your whore mouth," Tammy leaned forward, and narrowed her eyes at him, "or next time it'll be something harder," she warned, plopping back between the two men chuckling next to her, "just ask Kimmie." she added with her own giggle. She purposely missed, and hit the couch cushion next to her with a remote, but she made her point.

Brian couldn't help but smile as he grabbed the pillow, and tossed it back at her. "I'm just going to get out of the crossfire here." Zack casually stood up, and moved to another chair, not once taking his eyes off the TV. Brian was quick to take his spot next to Tammy, not catching the observant eyes of another. Johnny has been wanting to observe their interactions. He wanted to see what Jimmy saw because it struck him odd that he was not one hundred percent on board with Brian fostering Tammy. Usually Jimmy wasn't one to protest someone helping out another. In fact, he was usually the first to show support, or ask how he himself could help out. Why was this different?

Tammy smiled wide as she slapped Brian with the pillow only to have it yanked out of her hand. "Speaking of Kimmie," he said as he tossed the pillow to the chair he was just in, "she wanted me to tell you she will be by after she does Matt and Val's engagement photos." he said. "We got those too?" Tammy asked kind of excited, and Brian nodded. "She said they asked her last night, well Val did." he chuckled a little. "Matt and Val came over last night?" Johnny asked getting nods from both. "Didn't you say-" Zack started but Brian cut him off. "Yeah, but do you really think she was going to listen?" Brian questioned with a small smile, getting chuckles and head shakes from his friends. "Who would have thought Coach Sanders wore the skirt in that relationship." Tammy added causing the guys laughter to get louder.

Matt pulled up into Kimmie's driveway, and honked his car horn. Val gave him a smile, and supportive pat on the leg, knowing he wasn't completely on board with letting these two girls handle two crucial parts of their wedding. "She'll do just fine." she said as Kimmie came skipping out of her house, camera around her neck. "How can you be so sure?" Matt asked. "Just a feeling." Val told him as Kimmie climbed in the car. "Hi," she greeted them with an excited smile that was only really returned by Val, "so where did you guys want to do this at?" she asked as they pulled out of the driveway. "Honestly we're not really sure. We were wondering if you had any ideas." Val told her. "You mean, you." Matt mumbled as he drove down the road to nowhere. Val rolled her eyes, and turned in her seat to face Kimmie with a smile. "What do you think?" she asked wanting her honest opinion. She was taking the photos after all. "Wherever you guy can be natural." Kimmie told her, being interrupted by another Matt mumble. "At home, in front of my Xbox."

Val gave him a slight smack upside his head before looking back at a giggling Kimmie. "I don't like doing poses," she started to explain further, "they are, and feel fake, so anywhere you can almost forget I'm there would be perfect." she said just as the car came to a stop. "We're here." Matt said, shutting off the car and climbing out. "Is he going to be okay with this?" Kimmie asked a little concerned. "Oh he'll be fine once he see's your work," Val assured her, "that's why I asked you to do this, so he would be more comfortable with you doing our wedding." she explained, getting a slight nod before the two also climbed out of the car. Kimmie watched an excited smile come out on Val's face when she noticed where they were. She ran over to Matt the best her pregnant body would allow, and grabbed both of his hands. "Oh, lets go to the spot. We haven't been there in years." she told him, and he couldn't help but smile back down at her. "Exactly what I was thinkin." he said, and she bounced with excitement before the click of a camera brought their eyes Kimmie's way.

She walked over to the pair with a smile on her face. "Natural." she said simply as she showed them the picture on the screen. The beautiful colors of the park behind them as Matt looked adoringly at a wide smiling Val as the two held each others hands. Val nudged Matt with her elbow, a satisfied smile on her face. Matt let out a sigh of defeat. He had to admit, it was a great picture. "Alright, lets do this." he said, getting an excited squeal from his fiancé. Kimmie followed the pair through the park till they reach a rather secluded clearing. "Is this it?" Kimmie asked noticing they stopped. "Yep," Val smiled at her, "this is where we came to party when the guys were in a band." she told her. "Don't tell her about the band." Matt groaned as he plopped down on the ground. "I already know about the band," Kimmie informed him, "Tammy has a bunch of your demos." she said. "Where the hell did she get those?" Matt asked with surprised eyes. "Dr. Doolittle." Kimmie told him, and Val burst out laughing, knowing exactly who she was talking about. "Oh my God, remember when we left him and Jimmy passed out here?" she asked as she walked over to Matt, and made herself comfortable in his lap. "Hell yeah," he chuckled, not hesitating to wrap his arms around her, "we came back the next morning, and they were spooning." he said as Val rested her head on his shoulder. "And Jimmy was the small spoon." they said in unison before they both started laughing.

Kimmie snapped another picture when their laughter quieted, and Matt squeezed a little tighter to Val as she closed her eyes, nestling her face in his neck. She really enjoyed doing things this way. Real life was far more beautiful than fake poses. The three were out there for about an hour. Kimmie quietly listened as the two reminisced about past shenanigans. The pair had their backs to her with fingers laced together, looking at each other with smiles as they spoke. Kimmie went to snap another picture when a man jumped out of nowhere, arms spread with a wide open mouth smile, photo bombing the picture just as she took it. "JB, you ass!" Val whipped around, and started slapping the man over and over again. "Owe, owe, sorry," he tried to shield himself from the assault, the smile still plastered on his face, "Matt call off your hound!" he called out to him only to get harder slaps. "Did you just call me a dog?" she continued to hit him.

Two other men came out of the bushes, both laughing hysterically. Kimmie only recognized one of them, but the other looked just like the man currently getting a beat down. "Sorry dude, you asked for it." Matt made no attempt to help him. "Okay, okay, stop." JB pleaded, and Val finally let up. "What the hell are you guys doing here anyway." she asked looking at the other two. "Oh me and that stallion duck are about to have it out," Jimmy said getting all serious, "I'm sick of him staring at me with those black bug eyes, quacking his little taunts like he's somebody. I can hear him. He thinks I can't, but I can." he said as his friends smiled around him. "Why do you guys encourage this." Matt asked with a shake of his head. "Cause it's funny," the man standing next to Jimmy said, "Whose this?" he asked pointing at Kimmie. "Aren't you one of them girls that have been on the news?" JB didn't give anyone time to answer. "Jason." Val tried to hush him, seeing Kimmie's face fall, but he continued on, "Yeah, the abused one is living with Brian now," he said earning another smack from Val, "Owe." he rubbed the back of his head. "I'm sorry, my brother has no filter." the man Kimmie didn't know moved next to her. "It's okay...um yeah, I'm Kimmie." she shook the man's hand. "I'm Matt, and that's Jason." he introduced himself and his brother.

"It's nice to meet you," Kimmie gave Matt a smile, "you not so much." her smile turned into a smirk as she looked at Jason. "Yeah, I get that a lot," he said with a shrug, "what are you guys doing out here anyway?" he asked. "Taking our engagement photos until you ruined it." Val slapped him on the arm again. "Owe, will you stop hitting me." he whined as he rubbed his are. "Yeah, when you stop being an ass," she shot at him, "You better put your best man in check. If he ruins my wedding photos I'm ripping his head off, and shoving it up his ass." she told her fiancé. "Wait, that's your best man?" Kimmie asked, and Matt nodded slightly, "I'm so sorry." she apologized to Val. "Thank you," Val walked over to her and hooked their arms, "This is the kind of shit I have to put up with on a daily basis." she told her, getting a sympathetic look. "We're not that bad." Jimmy defended. "That's a lie, and you know it." JB said, and Jimmy smiled wide. "Yeah, I do." he chuckled, not even being able to deny it. "Don't you have some duck to deal with?" Val asked, and Jimmy suddenly got very serious again. "Stallion Duck," he yelled as he took off, "don't you go anywhere! I'm coming for you!"

The group stood chuckling at Jimmy's retreating form. "Bye." Val said kind of sassy to JB. "I'm going, I'm going," he put his hands up, backing away, "have fun with that." he told Matt, pointing at Val. "Yeah, thanks for pissing off my pregnant hormonal girlfriend." Matt laid the sarcasm on thick. "You're welcome. See you at the wedding." he smiled wide as he left, his chuckling brother not far behind. "Well this place is ruined. Lets go somewhere else." Val said turning Kimmie with her since their arms were still hooked. Matt let out a sigh, and followed the girls down the path they came. He was really hoping this would be a one stop event. Damn you Jason. He silently cursed his friend. "So where do you want go now?" he asked once the three were back in the car. "How about the beach?" Val suggested. "That could be good. The sun will be setting soon. It'll make for some great backgrounds." Kimmie agreed. "The beach it is then." Matt mumbled as he pulled away from the park.

Kimmie gave Matt directions to a beach she was sure would be deserted. It was hers and Tammy's spot. I was pretty secluded by cliffs and tree. Everything a photographer could want for beach backgrounds. There was hardly any people there ever, if any. It was one place they could enjoy the ocean, and not worry about people staring at any bruises they may have had. Tammy had a pool, but they could never use it, not with him around. "Wow, this is beautiful." Val admired as she looked around. "Not as beautiful as you." Matt tried to put her in a better mood. "Awe, you're sweet, corny, but sweet." she giggled, standing on her toes to give him a kiss on the cheek, and hearing yet another camera click. Val gave Kimmie a wide smile, rather enjoying the way they were doing this, and becoming more and more sure of the decision she made about these girls doing their wedding.

Kimmie was able to get a few more good shots before she lost the sunlight. She could really see the love between these two. They could get wrapped up in each other so easily. It was easy for them to forget she was there. Her favorite was probably the last one. The setting sun made for perfect back light for a silhouette picture. Val had her back to Matt's chest, his arms wrapped around her, her head tilted back as he gently kissed her lips. She couldn't wait to see it developed. "Oh God." Val suddenly hunched over, grabbing her stomach. "Is everything alright?" Matt suddenly looked panicked. "I think my water just broke." she said, cringing in pain as a contraction ripped through her. "Okay....um Kimmie, help her while I pull the car closer." he instructed, getting a nod before taking off. Kimmie rushed to Val's side, grabbing her hand, and rubbing her back as she tried to breath through the pain. "I've been able to hide them all day." she panted out once the pain passed. "You've been having contractions all day?" Kimmie asked shocked. Val gave her a small smile as she slowly stood strait. "Shhh, don't tell Matt. We would have never been able to do this if he knew." she told her, getting an unsure nod.

Matt came running back to the two, wrapping an arm around Val's waist as he helped her to the car. Kimmie jogged ahead to hold open the car door for her as Matt helped her in. She jumped in the back, and soon had a phone tossed back at her. "I need you to send out a group text," Matt told her as he peeled away, "The guys, my parents, Val's are under in-laws. Let them all know we're headed to the hospital." he told her. "And my sister, Michelle." Val added. "I don't see a Michelle." Kimmie said as she scrolled through the contacts. "It's...um under Cheating Whore." Matt said sheepishly getting a cocked brow from Kimmie, and narrow eyes from his fiancé. "We'll discuss that later." she told him, feeling another contraction come on. Kimmie scrolled back up in the contacts, and sure enough there it was. She added it to the group text, deciding not to ask. It seemed like a touchy subject.

Matt did his best to not go over the speed limit, but the adrenaline was flowing, and it was hard not to floor the gas peddle. They were there in no time, and he pulled right up to the emergency room doors. "You got a license right?" he asked Kimmie as he stopped, but left the car running. "Yeah." she gave him a nod. Tammy helped her get it. "Can you park while I get her inside?" he asked, getting an immediate nod. Matt hopped out, Kimmie taking his place as he helped Val out. She waited till the door was closed before pulling away. What a way to end the night. She thought to herself as she looked for a parking spot.

"Does all of her stuff look like this?" Zack asked as he read though the song written by a very troubled girl. He had already left once to close out his shift, but Brian asked him to come back to help him with this song. Johnny stuck around to help as well. He tried to call Jimmy, but all he got was some rambling about some duck before the line cut out. "More often than not." Brian mumbled. "I wish you would let me read what you have," Johnny told him, "It would really help." Brian shook his head. "That's not my place. She got everything back, if you want it, ask her." he told him just as the three men's phone went off. "It's baby time." Johnny said, smiles coming out as the stood from their chairs. "I'm going to go tell Tammy we're leaving. You guys wanna pack this shit up real quick?" Brian asked getting nods. He jogged up the two flights of stairs, and knocked lightly on her door. "Tammy?" he poked his head in when he didn't get a response. Confusion wash his face as he opened the door wider, and stepped in. He could have swore she was in her, but there was no sign of her.

Brian noticed a widow open, and rushed over to it. Did she sneak out? He poked his head out the window, and quickly spotted her sitting on the roof. "Are you smoking pot?" he asked shock, and her head snapped in his direction. "Listen, I don't know how you think things are going to work around here," he started in, not giving her a chance to respond, "but it's not going to be all fun and games, and I'm sure as hell not going to let you do drugs under my roof." An amused little smile came out on Tammy's face as Brian tried to lay down the law. "Technically I'm on the roof." she giggled. "This isn't a joke." he told her seriously. "Relax, I have a prescription," she said, "your friend gave it to me." she added with a smirk as she took another hit. "Really?" he let like he should have known, "Well Val went into labor, and we're heading to the hospital. Are you going to be okay by yourself?" he asked. "Yeah, sure." she gave him a nod before he disappeared back inside.

Brian went back down the stairs just as Johnny and Zack came out of the basement. "You," he squeezed Johnny painfully tight on the shoulder, "can ride with me, and we can discuss why you're giving my student medical marijuana." he said ushered him to the door. "Owe, hey now, there has been some great studies done with marijuana and PTSD. It's not just the buds, its the oil too, which doesn't even have enough THC to get someone high." Johnny defended as Brian pushed him. "Yeah, yeah, keep walking." he said shoving him a little as he closed the door behind them, Zacky chuckling in tow.

Notes
