“GET YOUR SICK PERVERTED SELF OUT OF HERE NOW!”

Christian’s foster mother had come home and caught him dress as the actress from the movie Gun, Girls & Gambling. He had dressed up to look like an exact duplicate of the actress from the movie. He had sewn most of the costume by hand and practice speaking like her. He had gone around town collecting beer and soda cans from trash cans and took them to the recycling center. He had gone to repair shops and peoples house asking to clear away any trash or mess they had to collect scrap metal to buy what he was missing for the costume and for himself. He had even managed to get the guns she used in the movie.

He had brought his own women’s undergarments after being caught taking his foster mothers. The only reason she was a foster parent still was the money she was getting for every child she had in the house and right now that was the four other boys as well. Her husband had been the one that loved kids and after he died, she had kept to herself. The other boys that lived here with him were out with their friends or doing other things on their own.

He had managed to get the exact guns from the movie. He knew a guy that he could buy illegal weapons from. They were hidden under a leather jacket he had found at a thrift store.

“I SAID GET OUT NOW YOU PERVERT BEFORE I CALL THE POLICE.”

The reason his foster mother caught him at all was because he was trying everything on to make sure it looked good and fit properly. He was planning on going to go to a Halloween party at the end of the week.

Christian grabs his keys and his helmet off his desk along with the rest of his stuff. He just stayed dress like he was. He left the house and walked to where he had hidden his motorcycle. He had managed to buy the motorcycle cheaply. All the metal recycling he did had left him with some money. So, he spent the money to buy a used 2016 Honda CBR250R 2 Silinder. He registered the motorcycle under the name Annabelle Lee.

He secures his duffle bag and takes off into the night. He was glad he took his jacket because it was cold outside. Christian had no idea where he was going, but he didn’t want to stick around here any longer. He drives all night long and stops at a truck stop to get some breakfast and some coffee. He had hidden the guns in his duffle bag before he went inside. He got wolf whistles from some of the truckers as he walked through the truck stop to the restaurant portion. He made sure to walk just like the actress did during the movie. As he sat drinking his coffee and eating a blueberry muffin a tall well-built black hair guy comes walking up to him.

“Hey sweetie, what’s your name?”

He just smiles “Annabelle Lee, what can I do for you?”

“That depends sweetie. How much do you charge?” Eddie figures this woman has got to be a lot lizard, otherwise why would she be dressed like she is?

“Sorry, I’m not a hooker. If you’re looking for that, go away.” Annabelle sips her coffee.

The guy couldn’t believe what he was hearing from this blonde.

“Look, I’ll make it worth your time.” He was watching her lips as she took a drink of her coffee. He liked how they looked and wanted to feel how they felt on his penis.

Annabelle was getting tired of this and knew her heroine would never put up with it. She takes her fork and pokes him in the crotch with it so he could feel it pressed against his body.

“Now, why don’t you be a good little boy and go bother some other girl. Before I change your religion.” She gave the fork a little push to make her point.

The guy turns around and walks off. Annabelle watches him before finishing her muffin and try to think about what she wanted to do. It was taking a lot of effort to stay in character and she didn’t know where she was going to go. She finishes her breakfast and goes to the bathroom. She almost went into the men’s bathroom, but remembered how she was dressed and corrected herself. This wasn’t the first time she had been in a women’s bathroom, but it was the first time she had gone in dress like Annabelle Lee.

After she had freshened up and done her business. She walks back out to her motorcycle and put her helmet back on. She needed to get off the main highway and take the back roads. Annabelle checks her fuel gauge and heads off to take the truckers route. She drives till she an old pick-up broke down on the side of the road with a Native American woman having difficulties changing the tire. Annabelle pulls in behind the truck to see if she could help.

Dawn Running Rabbit had gotten a flat tire coming back from town with feed for her horses. She had been forced to pull over and had never changed a tire in her life. She heard a motorcycle coming towards her and was pulling up behind her truck. When she looks towards the rider, she notices that the person looked like the actress from the movie Guns, Girls & Gambling. She knew Halloween was only a couple days away, but this was something new.

As the woman took off her helmet, her face looked just like one of the main characters from the movie.

“Need help?” Annabelle gets off her motorcycle. A playful smile comes to her face when she notices the woman looking at her.

“Yes, are you the actress from the movie Gun, Girls & Gambling?” Dawn watches as the blonde-haired woman walks towards her.

“No, I just look like her. I wouldn’t mind being her.” Annabelle had stop a few feet from Dawn.

“Well, you could be her twin.” Dawn couldn’t believe how this woman looked.

“Thank you. I stopped because you look like you were having a problem changing your tire. I could help.” Annabelle kneels to look at the tire.

“If you don’t mind. I can’t get the lug wrench to turn to break the wheel bolts free.” Dawn knew how to change attire, but he bolts were on there tight.

“That’s easy. A friend of mine showed me a trick.

Annabelle picks the lug wrench up and put it on the bolt, since it was a four way it made things easier for her. Annabelle grabs one bar and put her foot on another bar and pushes down while pulling up to loosen the bolt. She loosens the other four the same way.

Dawn couldn’t believe it. She hadn’t known about that trick to loosen the bolts. She watches as the woman changes out the tire and re-tightens the bolts. She lowers the truck back to the ground.

“There all done.” Annabelle wipes her hand on a rag that had been laying on the ground near the tools.

“Thank you. Why don’t you come back to my place for some lunch as payment for helping me?” Dawn figures it’s the least she could do for the lady.

“Sure, thank you.” Annabelle figures since she didn’t have anywhere to be right now and she wanted to get off her motorcycle for a while. It would be a good opportunity for her.

Annabelle walks back to her motorcycle and puts her helmet back on and mounts its. She waits for Dawn to lead the way. Dawn drives to her house with the blonde hair woman following behind her on her motorcycle. After about two miles, she pulls into her driveway and parks the truck. She could hear the motorcycle behind her as it pulled in.

“If you can a wait a few minutes, I need to get the feed in the barn before it starts raining.” Dawn runs to go and get a wheel barrel from the barn to transport the horse feed she picked up to the barn.

“Here, let me help you with that.” Annabelle helps load up the wheel barrel with the feed and walks with Dawn towards the barn.

“You have a nice place here.” Annabelle had spotted four horses out in the field grazing.

“Thanks. My grandfather left it to me about a year ago. I never image that I would give up a promising career as a banker in Charlotte, N.C. to running my grandfather’s feed store here in Pembroke, N.C.”

“Well, I think you made a good choice. It’s peaceful and quiet out here. You don’t have all that hustle and bustle to wear you down or give you high blood pressure.” Annabelle was helping Dawn as she poured the bags into a large box freezer.

“True, but I never dreamed of it happening. How about you? Where are you heading?” Dawn closes the freezer and gathers up the bags to be burned later.

“Nowhere in particular. I just lost my job and where I was staying. The person I was staying with don’t want me living with them anymore.”
What Annabelle was saying was partially true.

Dawn looks at Annabelle and could tell there was more to it, but she wasn’t going to push it.

“Well, since you were nice enough to stop and help me change the tire and carry the feed from my truck to here. Why don’t you stay here and work at the feed store? I have a spare bedroom and I could use some help at the store and around this place. I can’t pay you more than minimum wage, but I won’t charge you much for rent either.” Dawn had a feeling she could trust this person, she may have her secrets, but she got a good vibe off this person.

Annabelle thought about it.

She looks at Dawn “before I accept your offer. What is your name? Mine is Annabelle Lee.”

Dawn blushes, during the whole encounter she never introduced herself.

“I’m Dawn Running Rabbit Quin. My family were traditionalist when it came to keeping our tribal name.”

“Dawn I don’t know how you feel about transgender, but if I’m going to accept your offer. I need to come clean with you. My birth Name is Christian Brian Smith and I’m transgender. I’m dressed like this because I was going to go to a Halloween party this Friday at a friend’s house. I didn’t lie when I told you I was asked to leave. My foster mother came home early from her bingo game and caught me dress this way. She hates gays, lesbians and transgender. She feels that they need to burn in hell. I’ll be 18yrs old within a year and more than likely be thrown out of the foster care system. I like who I am and I want to be just like the actress that played Annabelle Lee from the movie.” Annabelle, felt she needed to be honest with Dawn.

Dawn just stands there and stares at Annabelle and tries to image what she would look like as a male, but couldn’t.

“Thank you for telling me the truth. I personally don’t have a problem with you being transgender or as they say in my culture two soul, but just be careful. Also, I think the way you dress and act suits you Ms. Annabelle Lee. Why don’t you bring your motorcycle in here before we get some lunch? That way it won’t get rained on.”

“Yes, ma’am.” Annabelle follows behind Dawn as they walk back towards the house.

No sooner had Annabelle gotten her motorcycle put away inside the stables. The rain started to come down. Annabelle grabs her duffle bag and heads inside the house. Dawn had started on making lunch for the two of them. She was warming up some sliced chicken breast, chopped mushrooms, sugar peas and string carrots with herbs and spices in a frying pan. The fry bread she made the other day was warm from just a few seconds in the microwave.

“I’m in the kitchen.” Dawn had heard the front door open.

“Okay.” Annabelle comes walking in. She had gotten wet from running in the rain. It wasn’t easy in three inch heels.

“Mm! Something smells nice in here.” Annabelle loved the smell coming from whatever Dawn was cooking.

“Thanks. Have a seat at the table.” Dawn grabs two plates and put a slice of fry bread on each plate and then the chicken.

She carries the plates into the dining room and walks back into the kitchen.

“You don’t mind sweet ice tea do you?” Dawn leans her head out of the kitchen.

“No ma’am. I don’t mind.” Annabelle liked sweet ice tea.

Dawn comes carrying two glasses of ice tea with her back to the table. She hands one glass to Annabelle.

“Thank you.”

“Your welcome.” Dawn sits down across from Annabelle.

“How much female attire do you have?”

“Not much. I have some jeans, blouses and a few t-shirts. I have all the proper undergarments, but no nightgown or anything. I didn’t want my foster mother to find it or the other boys I shared a room with.” Annabelle takes a bite of her lunch. She had folded it like a taco and was eating it that way.

“Well, I think I have a few articles of clothing that might fit you and there’s a thrift store across the street from the store. We can get you some clothes to wear from there till you can do some shopping. Do you have any other boots other then what you are currently wearing?”

“Yes ma’am. I have work boots and a pair of tennis shoes.” Annabelle had brought women’s boots and tennis shoes when she was buying things for the Halloween party.

“What name is your motorcycle register in?” Dawn was wondering if she needed to take Christian to have her name changed.

“It’s register under Annabelle Lee. I knew a lady at Department of Motor Vehicles and she got me a new driver’s license with my name and social security number on it under Annabelle Lee. She even changed my gender as female in their system. The insurance on the motorcycle is under Annabelle Lee as well.”

“Why did she do that?” Dawn was curious.

“She’s a T-girl as well and knows how much of a hassle it can be with the system.” Annabelle takes another bite of her lunch and sip of her tea.

When lunch is done, Annabelle hand washes the dirt dishes and dries them.

“You know, you didn’t need to do that. I have a dish washer.” Dawn had an amused look on her face.

“Come on, I’ll show you your new bedroom.” Dawn escorts Annabelle to her bedroom.

“The bathroom is at the end of the hallway. Your bedroom window faces the backyard. The house was rewired three years ago, so you have an ethernet port in here if you have a laptop or you can use the wifi. If you don’t mind me asking Annabella, how are you getting your hormones?” Dawn knew from reading that people transitioning had to take hormone replacement therapy.

“Well, I know I shouldn’t be doing this, but I have been buying them from a supplier on the Dark web. It was the only way I could get them. I didn’t trust the drug dealers in my neighborhood and once they got you as a client they could get you hooked on other drugs.” Annabelle wonders what Dawn will say.

“I’m not here to judge your actions Annabelle. Look, why don’t we set an appointment with a doctor so that they can check you out and make sure nothing bad has happen since you have been taking the black-market hormones except what you have been wanting to happen. Okay?”

“Okay. I’ll see a doctor. Dawn” Annabelle knew Dawn was right. She was risking her life, but it was the only way she could get the hormones to keep herself from progressing any further as a boy.

The rest of the evening goes by quietly. Annabelle had changed out of the clothes she arrived in and slipped on a pair of shorts and a baby blue T-Shirt that said, “Relax We’re All Crazy IT’s A Competition” in white letters on the front of it.

“That’s an interesting shirt.” Dawn liked it.

“I thought so. It was in a discount bin at Big Lots.”

“So, what cooking experience do you have?” Dawn looks at Annabelle.

“I know how to boil water and make instant macaroni and cheese. That’s it’s for my cooking experience, besides nuking everything.”
Annabelle had admitted she didn’t much cooking experience.

“Well, you’re going to help me make dinner tonight young lady. So, come on and I’ll show you how to make fry bread and deer stew.” Dawn takes Annabelle to kitchen with her.

“Deer Stew? Is it anything like beef stew?” Annabelle was confused.

Dawn just giggles at the confused look on Annabelle’s face.

“Yes, we are just substituting beef chunks for deer meat. Have you ever had deer meat before?”

“No ma’am. I have never had deer or any other animal other then cow.” Annabelle figures she was going to experience a lot living with Dawn.

“By the time, I get done teaching you how to cook. You’ll be able to cook for yourself and your family.” Dawn hands Annabelle an apron to wear while she is cooking.

Dawn shows Annabelle how to make fry bread and how to make deer stew. While the stew is cooking, they go out onto the back porch so
Annabelle could see how big the property was.

“It’s nice out here.” Annabelle takes a deep breath and holds it in some and release it.

“It’s different. I grew up in the city, so country life is something new to me. However, I do enjoy it. I have a small garden, so most of our food come from the garden I planted.” Dawn was looking towards her garden noticing how big it has gotten.

“Dawn, how do you feel about the gays, lesbian and transgender?” Annabelle was curious.

“To be honest, I don’t care. We all were put here for a reason. It used to be customary for people who were two souls like yourself to become shamans in most Cherokee and other Native American tribes.”

Annabelle looks at Dawn and wonder about her.

Dawn notices Annabelle looking at her “what?”

“Nothing” Annabelle turns and heads back into the kitchen to check on the stew.

“Come on sleepy head time to get up and get ready for work.” Dawn slaps Annabelle on her ass.

“Ow! I’m up.” Annabelle gets up out of bed and stretches to loosen up some stiff muscles. She wasn’t used to sleeping on the mattress she slept on last night.

“Remember you’re supposed to sit if you’re going to pass yourself off as being a girl.” As Dawn watches as Annabelle leave the room and head to the bathroom to do her morning routine.

Dawn made a list for Annabelle to follow in the morning before they went to bed last night. She opens the closet and pull out some clothes that should fit Annabelle that belonged to her aunt before she died.

Annabelle took her shower and followed the list Dawn had made last night. She had used Nair previously to remove what hair she had to dress like Annabelle Lee. She didn’t have to worry about facial hair. By the time, she was done she head back towards her room. The adhesive to remove the fake breast prosthetic was missing. Annabelle had checked everything of hers and she couldn’t find it. She thinks she left it at her foster parent’s house. She remembered the website where she got it from, so she’ll have to order it again.

She wanted her own breast and if need be she’ll get implants to get the size these gave her. If not a little bit bigger. Annabelle walks into her room and saw the clothes Dawn had left out for her to wear. She was going to miss her sexy stretch outfit she wore yesterday. The one that made her look like a bad ass. Now the way she was dress made her look ordinary. She did have a figure on her the way she was dress, but she missed her other look.

Annabelle walks into the kitchen “I look to ordinary Dawn. I miss my other look.”

“Well you can’t lift a bag of feed in three inch heels or help load a person’s truck up or kneel down without the guys staring at your ass all day stocking the shelves.”

“Hey, I don’t mind them staring at my ass all day. Just don’t grope it or squeeze it.” A playful smile appears on her Annabelle’s face.

“Oh, you are such a flirt.” Dawn takes a sip of her coffee.

“I’m going to have you work with Noah today. He’s one of the older employees at the store and taught me everything I know there. He’ll make sure you are taught right. Also, most of the staff of the store is Native American.”

“That’s cool, I don’t have any prejudices, well I do have a few, but they are directed towards the ignorant and closed minded religious bunch.
Our shit doesn’t stink ones that think they have the right to pass judgement on everyone else.” Annabelle was getting worked up.

“Easy girl. You won’t have any problems like that in or around town. One you look like a knockout dress the way you are. Two, most of the people in town are Native Americans. At least ninety percent of the towns population is Native American. So, you’ll be fine. Third, everyone at the store will look after you. So, finish your coffee and let’s get going.”

Dawn and Annabelle walk out to Dawn’s truck and load up. As Dawn is backing the truck out of the driveway.

“Remind me sometime today to go and get a new spare tire. The one you helped me with yesterday will carry us through, but if we have another flat. I don’t have a spare.

“Okay, I think I can remember that.” Annabelle makes a note on her cell phone along with ordering the adhesive remover as well.
The drive into town was boring to say the least. It was quiet and the only creatures out moving around were horses and cows. Dawn had the radio set for a local radio station that played eccentric collection of music from Native American drum music to music from the sixties, seventies and eighties. The DJ was a Native American one he was kind of fun announcing what was coming on or how things were out in the white man’s world. He was growing on Annabelle. Dawn pulls the truck into her normal parking space and turn the engine off.

“Come on white girl. Time for you to pay me back for your room and board last night.” Dawn heads towards the entrance.

“You didn’t tell me you were into white slavery Dawn.” A playful look appears on her face.

“Keep it up pale face.” Dawn goes behind the counter and deactivate the alarm system.

“Come let’s get set-up for business.”

Dawn has Annabelle help her drag a few plants stands outside and a few other items. By ten o’clock the store was swamp. Noah had come in early and was teaching Annabelle a few things when they got hit hard by customers. Dawn put Annabelle on the register while she and the rest of the staff took care of the customers.

By noon it had slowed down. Dawn showed Annabelle where to drop the cash she had in the register and to never keep more than seventy-five dollars in change in the register always. Dawn and Annabelle took lunch together and got the tired changed while they had lunch at a local restaurant. They went back at one and relieved Noah and another employee so they could go to lunch. While Annabelle was helping a customer while kneeling to get the item the customer wanted. Some young red necks made a comment about her ass. She put a little bit more wiggle into her walk to teased them.

“Dam girl. You got a cute ass.” One of the older red necks commented back as he gazed into Annabelle’s eyes.

“I think it’s cute as well.” She smiles at him and ring his purchases up.

Annabelle whistles as she watches their butts as they walked out the door.

“What am I going to do with you? Those two young bucks are married Annabelle. So, behave yourself.” Dawn turns and goes back to straightening up a display.

“I promise.” Annabelle grabs a feather duster and started dusting a display that was high that she had to step on her tip toes to reach.

She hears someone ring the bell on the counter.

“Coming.” Annabelle heads towards the front and when she gets around the counter. She comes face to face with someone she knows from South Hill, Va.

She had gone to school with this guy and he had tormented her because she was better than he was in math and several other classes.

Zachary was surprised when a cute blonde hair girl came behind the counter. He recognized the girl from somewhere and then it hit him. The movie Guns, Girls& Gambling.

“Is the movie business slow?” Zachary wouldn’t mind getting into this girl’s panties, but he already had a girlfriend he knocked up at home.

“Nope, decided I wanted to change professions. What can I get you?”

“I need these size bolts with washer and locking nuts.” He hands them over towards Annabelle.

Annabelle takes them and examine them. She picks up her identifier thingy that Noah showed her how to use to get the thread count and sized.

“How many do you need and how long?” as she turns around to the drawers behind her.

“Same size and about eight of each.” He watches as she kneels and how her jumpsuit rides up and show her firm butt. He watches as she pulls the drawer open and pull out eight of each.

Annabelle puts them in a loose bag marking the bag with the item number and how many of each.

“There you go. Eight nuts and locking bolts with washers.” Annabelle hands the bag to him.

“I swear I know you from somewhere other than the movie.”

“Well, I am new here so it is possible we met before somewhere, but I wouldn’t know where.” She did, but didn’t want to tell him.

“Is that all?”

“Yes, thanks.” Zachary heads for the cashier while casting glances at her.

Dawn walks up beside her “you know him?”

“Yep, before he got suspended for sneaking into the girl’s locker room and taking pictures of them while they were changing. He used to torment me before and after school. He beat me so bad one day I had to go to the emergency room and have seventeen stitches put in my
head. Then I get home and get verbally abused by my foster mother for her missing her favorite Tv show.”

“Well, I’m sorry you had to go through that sweetie. Why don’t you come and I’ll show you how to place an order?”

Dawn escort Annabelle over to the computer they use for that and start showing her how to place an order.

Annabelle was sore when she got up Saturday morning. Yesterday they had gotten in some feed and her and another employee had unloaded the truck that brought their supplies in. She had also gotten the adhesive remover in as well. Last night she had taken off the breast prosthesis and cleaned her skin and the back of the prosthesis as well. She had brought another set she could wear inside her bra’s.
Dawn had taken her shopping to get some normal clothes to wear. She did buy a few sexy ones that showed her figure. She had also seen a doctor about the estrogen levels in her body and the testosterone blockers she had been taking from the black market. The doctor she had was a middle age woman and was Native American as well. Annabelle felt more comfortable with a woman doctor, then she did with a male doctor. The doctor stabilized her and put her on the proper dosage for her blockers and for estrogen replacement.

Annabelle heads to the bathroom to do her morning routine and afterwards into the kitchen to grab some coffee.

“Morning Dawn.” Annabelle waves to her as she fixes her coffee.

The two of them have gotten into a routine and it seemed to fit each other’s style. Also, she had found out by asking settle questions that
Dawn was a lesbian. She had just recently come out when she left the city to come back here. Annabelle wouldn’t mind sleeping with her, but until she got her growth taken care of, she wasn’t going to do it.

Dawn was outside sitting on a bench her grandfather built. Drinking her coffee and watching the horses as they walked back and forth out in the field grazing on grass and hay. She loved early morning sunrise and had gotten up early to view todays.

Annabelle walks over and sits down next to her. She leans over and places a kiss on Dawn’s cheek.

“Good morning.”

Annabelle drinks some of her coffee as she feels Dawn return the kiss to her cheek.

“Good morning sleepy head.”

“You know something Annabelle. It’s been a whole week since the two of us met and you came to live and work with me?”

“I know. It’s been like a dream since I met you. You don’t judge me or try to act like a mother to me, but more like a big sister guiding me into the world of femininity. Then I find out your secret and our relationship goes up another notch.” Annabelle leans against Dawn’s shoulder and rest her head on Dawn’s shoulder.

“You just wanted to get into my panties.” Dawn places a kiss on Annabelle’s head.

“Dawn, you’re not wearing panties now.” A smile appears on Annabelle’s face.

“You know what I mean.”

“Yes, I do know what you mean and no I wouldn’t. If I didn’t have this abnormal growth between my legs. I would move out of the spare bedroom and sleep with you. I hate being a male, I always have and if I had the courage to do it myself. I would chop it off and feed it to your pigs.” The last few words were spoken with malice and regret.

“I thought most T-girls wanted a normal life. Husband, children and such. Why do you feel that being a lesbian is the right choice for you?” Dawn knew they never talked about it.

Annabelle takes a breath after taking a sip of her coffee.

“I thought about it repeatedly. What I came too is, I don’t think I would be comfortable with dating a guy and making love to him. Especially, when I use to be equipped like him. Sure, I would know what turns him on and such, but it doesn’t feel right inside of me. This, is what feels right to me. Me and you like this girl and girl, not girl and guy. I would love to carry a child from you and it would be our baby. I know I’ll never be able to. The only way is to preserve my semen and when the time is right. Let you become pregnant and carry a baby from the two of us.”

Dawn just gives Annabelle a look.

“You do know. I’m older then you by at least fourteen years.”

“So, you’re just discovering what it’s like to be a lesbian. You said yourself that you just came out a year ago before you left Charlotte, N.C...
Besides, with you being older and more mature then me. You can make sure I don’t make dumb mistakes that would give myself away.”

“Now the truth comes out from you. You, want me to be your teacher.”

Dawn shakes her head at Annabelle.

“No, I want a mentor that I can trust and make sure I am a proper woman. Not, some boy in a dress, but an actual girl that knows what she is doing.” Annabelle really did mean what she was saying.

“I think your trying too much to be the character form the movie. Wasn’t Annabelle in the movie a lesbian?”

“Um, you didn’t find out till the end of the movie she had run off with a lesbian hooker. No, the only thing I want is to be like the actress from the movie. I want my body and looks to be just like her.” Annabelle knew she already had some of her looks, but she wanted the rest of her body to be just like the actress.

“What’s wrong with being yourself?” Dawn caresses Annabelle’s cheek.

“Nothing, but I already have similar looks to the actress and I use padding to give me the figure she has. I want to be able to not need to use padding and have her figure for real. Besides, I’ve seen how you stare at my butt and breast.” Annabelle smiles at Dawn.

“I do not.” Dawn couldn’t believe she had been caught.

Annabelle sets her coffee down on the small table next to the swing and lay down while resting her head on Dawn’s lap and stare up at her.

Dawn leans down and kiss her on the lips. The two just stay like that for a while.

“Ow!” Annabelle was moving slowly as she got out of the truck.

They just gotten back from spending all day out on horseback and Annabelle was hurting. Even though she had worn pads to make her body shape look right while they had been horseback riding. It didn’t help much as cushioning in the saddle.

Dawn had wanted to go horseback riding and Annabelle agreed. She figured riding a horse couldn’t be more difficult then riding a motorcycle. Boy, was she wrong. First Dawn had to show her how to properly mount the horse. Then she had to show her how to control the horse and finally she had to show her how to properly ride the horse. On top of being sore from riding the horse. She was red as well. Her fair skin didn’t do to well with being out in the sun all day. Annabelle had worn a tank top style shirt, shorts and a pair of boots. She didn’t bother to take another shirt with her to cover her shoulders or arms. So, not only was her face, neck and shoulders red, but arms legs, hands as well.

Also, since their talk Dawn and Annabelle have been more open about their relationship as well. Annabelle had no problem kissing Dawn in public or holding her hand. Sometimes she would let her hand slip a little bit past Dawns waistband from behind and let her hand just rest there. Dawn made her dress more girly and corrected her behavior so as not to give herself away.

“Sore, are we?” Dawn looks back to her lover.

“Yes, I’m very sore. You said you have some solar cane for my sunburn?”

“Yes, and some Aloe vera as well. Come on slow poke let’s get you inside and medicated so you are feeling better.” Dawn just smiles at
Annabelle as she moves like she had been rode hard and pull away rough.

An hour later Annabelle is feeling better. Between the Aleve for the muscle pain from riding and the rum and coke Dawn had made for her and aloe vera cooling her sunburn, she was in heaven. Dawn was making a simple salad for them for dinner. Annabelle was enjoying herself more since moving in with Dawn. The only thing she hated was the fact she was still equipped like a male and wanted it gone so she could do more for Dawn.

Once dinner is ready, they sit in the living room and watch some tv. Annabelle was stiff and her sunburn still hurt some, but not a lot. She cleans the dinner plates and the kitchen up. She goes back into her bedroom and put a soft nightgown on that won’t bother her sunburn and lay down on the couch with her head resting on Dawn’s lap.

Dawn had excused herself and got up and switched her clothes so she was wearing her favorite night shirt and retook her spot so Annabelle could lay her head on her lap. They watched a few movies on cable and after a while Annabelle fell asleep. She was exhausted from their all-day affair. Dawn tried to get up, but Annabelle wouldn’t let her. So, she ended up sleeping on the sofa with Annabelle alongside her body. She had managed to lay down and Annabelle laid beside her asleep. Sometime during the night, she had ended up on her back and
Annabelle had ended up using her tummy for a pillow and laying between her legs which were spread open to allow Annabelle to sleep between them.

When they woke-up in the morning. Annabelle had crawl forward and kissed Dawn on the lips. She was resting on top of her and looking down at her.

“Good morning sweetie.” Annabelle places another kiss on her lips.

“I see you slept well last night. You wouldn’t let me leave the sofa.”

Dawn wraps her arms around Anabelle’s waist. She knew not to wrap them around her neck or shoulders.

“I didn’t want to lose my pillow last night. Besides I was comfortable.”

Annabelle just stare into Dawns brown eyes.

“You are a mischief imp my blonde hair beauty.”

Dawn kisses Annabelle for a while and then let’s go.

“I got to go pee. So, off with you.” Dawn smacks Annabelle’s butt.

Annabelle rolls off Dawn and helps her up so she can go pee. Annabelle could hold it a little bit long then Dawn. As soon as Dawn was
done, she dashes into the bathroom and sits down to pee. Annabelle will love it when she didn’t need to tuck any more. She was already
saving to get breast surgery, because she didn’t think the hormones were going to give her the size she wanted.

Since they didn’t have work today, she wonders what the plan was. They spent all day yesterday out of the house, so they could spend today in. Since it felt like it was going to rain maybe.

“Come on lazy bones, we’re going to a pow wow today.”

“What’s a Pow Wow?”

“It’s where a bunch of different tribes get together and we do dancing, and celebrating. Sometimes it’s just one tribe or it can be many tribes.
In this case there will be three different tribes there and my tribe will be there today, so I am required to show up. So, come on pale face and get ready. You can wear my Aunt’s deer skinned dress and everything that goes with it.”

Dawn drags Annabelle into their bedroom and help her get dress for the Pow Wow. By the time they leave the house, both women looked like Native American women from the old Westerns. Finding a place to park was difficult, but because Dawn was a tribal member, they managed to park in area reserved just for them. Dawn tucked her driver license and credit card in a hidden pocket on the dress and showed Annabelle where she could place hers. Annabelle was dragged up on stage and introduce to several Elders of the three tribes that Dawn knew personally and then introduce to other tribal members. Annabelle stood and watched as they had children of different ages come out and dance. She had brought her cell phone to take pictures as the children dance, then it was just men dancing and then women dancing which she took part of. She followed how Dawn danced so not to be embarrass. Then they had a couple’s dance and Dawn pulled her out for that dance. That dance was the only one she loved the most and then a group dance.

When they weren’t dancing, Annabelle browsed through the different Native American owned stalls and brought a few items. Because she was Dawn’s mate she got a tribal discount on items. Annabelle was enjoying herself and met other Native Americans. Joseph Running Bull and his wife Jessie Mocking Jay were interesting people. Both were full blooded Native American and were from a Lakota tribe.

Where Dawn was from a Cherokee tribe. Annabelle spent a while with them learning about the Lakota people and exchanged phone numbers and email addresses so they could get together and spend time with one another. She learned Joseph and Jessie traveled from Pow Wow to Pow Wow throughout the year selling their wares. If there was a dance that Annabelle could take part in she would. Every couple dance there was Dawn didn’t have to drag Annabelle out into it. She was ready to go herself.

Annabelle had a blast and instead of going home, they stayed the night with a few family members of Dawns. Annabelle was loving it as she let the children that were there climb on her. She carried them and tickle them Annabelle had fun playing with the children. When night time came, a few children curled up next to her and fell asleep. Dawn took a picture of Annabelle with a child under each arm and two more using her body as their pillows. She smiles and will have to show her those pictures tomorrow morning. Dawn lays down using her lover’s tummy as her own pillow. After all, fair is fair.

Annabelle wonders why she couldn’t move and woke-up noticing a child under each arm and two on her right side using her body as a pillow and finally Dawn using her tummy for her pillow. Annabelle didn’t want to disturb any one, so she goes back to sleep. Everything felt right to her.

When morning came, all the children that had been sleeping near her had taken off to use the bathroom except her lover who was still using her tummy as her pillow. Annabelle leans down and rub the bridge on Dawn’s nose. Dawn brushes her hand away. Annabelle does it again and feel her hand swatted away. This time Annabelle stretches right under Dawn’s nose, which wakes her up.
Dawn looks around and notice Annabelle looking at her “good morning sleepy head.”

“Morning.” Dawn leans in and kisses her and then gets up and heads towards the porta-potty.

Annabelle just watches Dawn as her butt wiggles as she walks towards the porta-potty.

When Dawn gets back, Annabelle heads towards the same one and does her morning business. The two of them help by making breakfast for everyone. They feed the children first and then the men and finally they sit down and eat with the men. The children run around filled with energy each adult wishes they had right now.

By 9 o’clock a crowd start forming and Dawn and Annabelle are put to work by Dawn’s Chief Dancing Jackal. They were collecting donations made during the dance for the younger dancers. Annabelle adds a few dollars of her own money for the children that danced. She knew each child made their own costume to wear for the dance.

At the end of the day, the two of them head home tired and exhausted. By the time they get home, neither one wanted to take a shower, so both took one together and did some kissing and fondling, but nothing serious. Afterwards they dried each other off and went to bed together.

Annabelle was sweating her ass off today. She was regretting that she was wearing the padding and artificial breast today. They were making her sweat even more. The A/C unit at the store had stopped working that morning. The humidity and temperature were high making it 110 degrees outside in the shade. She had open the doors and brought out the old industrial fans to try to cool the store off some. Annabelle had switch to a tank top shirt because she was sweating so much.

Dawn was outside helping a customer, while Annabelle ran the cash register inside.

“Enjoying the weather, Annabelle?”

“Yay, its peachy in here.” Annabelle was standing in one of the smaller fans trying to cool off.

“How about, I go and get you and Dawn a slushie?”

“Please? I’ll be your friend for life?”

Annabelle wanted something cold to cool her down and she knew Dawn could use one as well.

Johnny Thunder Horse just laughs at Annabelle’s antics.

“Thank you, Johnny.”

Annabelle watches as Johnny walks down the street heading for the convenience store two blocks over. They had a slushie machine inside.

“Any word yet from Fred about getting the part today?”

“None. I was going to give him another ten minutes before I called him. Oh, Johnny is getting us a slushie.”

“Bless him. I could use something cold right now.”

“Me too.”

“You girls seem to be melting in here.”

“A/C is broken. What can I get for you?”

“I need three pounds of 2”1/2 galvanized nails and six 8-foot-long 2x4’s and four 8-foot-long 2x6’s.”

Annabelle was writing the order down.

“We have the lumber out back if you want to choose your own wood. As for the nails, I can grab those for you while you pick out your wood.”

“Do mind showing me where the wood is?”

“Nope, not at all.”

Annabelle looks over towards Dawn “I’m going out back, Dawn.”

“Okay, I got the register covered.”

Annabelle comes from behind the counter and leads the man out back to the lumber.

unbeknownst to Annabelle the guy was watching her ass sway back and forth. He enjoyed looking at her ass as she walked. He has been
admiring her since she came to work for Dawn Running Rabbit.

“So, how have things been since you came to town?”

“Fine, I’ve been enjoying myself except for today that is.”

“Why’s that?”

“It’s 110 degrees and we don’t have any A/C in the store.”

“How did that happen?”

“The blower motor went out on our unit. Since the unit is twelve years old, we had to special order it and now were waiting to see when it will
be in. Here are your 2x4 8 footers and a couple of stacks down are your 2x6 8 footers.”

Annabelle stops in front of the 2x4’s.

“Are you seeing any one?”

That caught Annabelle off guard for a second.

“Actually, yes I am. I just recently met this person and I want to see where the relationship goes.”

Annabelle didn’t want people to know her and Dawn were seeing each other. Especially some of their customers. She knew some of the employee’s suspected something going on between the two of them.

“Well, if things don’t work out. Look me up.”

“Thanks, I will.”

Annabelle helps him load the lumber on one of their carts and head back inside to get his nails. Dawn rings him up and Annabelle walks with him outside to help him load his lumber on to his truck.

After the guy leaves, Annabelle heads back inside and over towards Dawn.

“You won’t believe what just happened.”

“Let me guess, he asked you out?”

Annabelle looks shock.

“How did you know?”

“He’s been looking at your ass since you started working here.”

“What did you tell him?”

“I told him I was already seeing someone and wanted to know where our relationship went.”

Dawn just smiles “you already know where our relationship is going.”

“I know.”

Annabelle gives Dawn a peck on the cheek.

She walks off to straighten some shelves and move around some merchandise.

Johnny comes walking in with their slushie “I got your cold drinks girls.”

“Oh, thank you Johnny.” Annabelle takes hers and sips it.

“Thanks Johnny.” Dawn takes her and sips it.

Both women had a pleased look on their face. The icy slushie was a relief that they needed.

“How much do I owe you Johnny?” Annabelle looks at Johnny.

“Don’t worry about it pale face. Just bring in some of those brownies you made last time and we’ll call it even.”

“I’ll bring a plate just for you Johnny.” Annabelle walks over and places a kiss on Johnny’s cheek.

The rest of the day goes by normally and by 8 o’clock. Dawn and Annabelle started closing the store up. They had gotten the call from Fred
saying he could get the motor here by tomorrow afternoon and have it up and running by the time they closed. Annabelle leans her head
against Dawn’s shoulder as Dawn drove home.

They had stopped at the diner they normally had lunch at and brought salads for dinner when they get home. Neither one of them felt like
cooking.

“I am going to take a nice cold shower after dinner.”

“I know what you mean. The store was extremely hot today. All the fans did was move the hot air around.”

Later, after Dawn and Annabelle had eaten dinner and taken a nice cold shower apiece. They laid in bed and were enjoying the a/c of the
house. Annabelle was slowly falling asleep, while Dawn was reading a romance novel. They had talked about Annabelle’s reason for not sleeping with Dawn and decided that they would risk it. Since, Annabelle was taking the estrogen pills and the antiandrogens pills they should be safe. Dawn glances over towards Annabelle and notice she was sound asleep. She looked so cute with her blonde hair acting as a curtain covering her face. She notices that Annabelle had a birthmark in the shape of a rabbit on her left shoulder.

She going to have to tease her some.

Dawn marks her page and turns her nightlight off.

“Sleep tight my little bunny rabbit.”

Dawn leans over and places a kiss on Annabelle’s cheek.

Annabelle was working the store by herself while Dawn ran down to the bank to make a deposit. Some mornings were slow, while some morning were busy. Annabelle was straightening the shelves and adding new products to replenish what they sold. Some of the shelves that didn’t have merchandise for sale she made note of. She checks the order they had place to make sure the merchandise had been order.

When she gets back to the counter she straightens and dust things behind the counter.

“Morning Annabelle. I brought fresh coffee and doughnuts."

"I hope you brought enough for Dawn too. She loves fresh doughnuts.”

Annabelle turns around to see what Johnny brought for them.

“Don’t worry, I have enough for Dawn as well. Speaking of Dawn, where is she?”

“Making a bank deposit and picking up some change for the store.”

“Are you going to hang around the store all day, or do you have something planned for today?”

“I have a job to do today. Ms. Creed has some home repairs she wants me to work on. I thought I would come in and check on my two favorite girls.”

“Ah, that’s sweet of you Johnny. I heard old man Troy could use someone to fix his roof. Do you do roof repairs?”

“No, but I know someone who does and he could use the work.”

Annabelle looks at Johnny before asking her next question.

“Can he be trusted? I mean don’t take me wrong Johnny, its just I want old man Troy to be comfortable around this fellow.”

“He can be trusted Annabelle. I know you don’t mean any harm, it’s just this fellow has been finding it hard to get any work because of who
his father is.”

“Who’s his father?”

“Greg Harrison. The man uses to be a problem around here and used strong arm tactics to force people to pay him protection money. One
day he killed someone he shouldn’t have. Four guys got together and hunted him down and strung his dead body up in town. They hung a message around his neck that said this will happen to the next person who followed in his footsteps. Ever since then, people have judge his family wrongly. His wife deserved it, because she would rub other people’s noses in it, but the children were a different story. His son always tried to do things right and his daughter got married when she was fifteen and left town. I took the boy under my wing and gave him a trade.”

“Okay, if he’s willing to do the job. I’ll let him put the material he needs on credit and he can pay it when the job is done. Old man Troy is a
good customer according to Dawn.”

“I’ll tell him, Annabelle.”

The phone starts ring Annabelle picks it up “Pembroke Hardware, Annabelle speaking how can I help you?”

“Yes, we do have those in stock and they go for $8.99 a board for the twelve footers, $5.99 for the eight footers. Yes, I have enough to fill
your order. Let’s see, you want to add in fifty pounds of 2.5 half inch nails as well. You’re total comes to three hundred sixty-five dollars. Yes, sir someone will be here to help you load the order. Okay, see you in an hour. You have a nice day sir.”

Annabelle hangs the phone up.

“Who was that?”

“One of our contractors. He just placed an order for some wood and nails.”

“Well, I better head to the job site. See you later Annabelle and tell Dawn good morning for me.”

“I will Johnny and thanks for the doughnuts.”

“You’re welcome.”

Annabelle watches as Johnny walks out and a few minutes later, Dawn returns from the bank.

“Welcome back. Johnny brought us doughnuts and coffee. I need to go and get some orders ready for pick up.”

“Okay sweetie.”

Dawn watches as Annabelle walks towards the back. She loved watching her ass as she walks. Even though she knows Annabelle wears
padding to give her, her figure, but Dawn still loves her.

Annabelle works getting the deliveries ready for pick up. She finishes the orders for pick up. She had twelve bags of horse feed, two bags of goat feed and two bags of dog food being picked up this afternoon. They were all stacked on a pallet. Annabelle looks out of the loading dock door and notice a group of boys beating up on a smaller boy.

She jumps down off the loading dock and walks over towards the group of boys.

“Leave that boy alone right now before I call the police.”

The boys ignore Annabelle and keep kicking the boy on the ground. Annabelle grabs one of the boys and toss him aside. She catches the arm of the boy kicking the boy on the ground and twist his arm behind his back and shove it upwards so it hurts and holds. She looks at the other boys still standing there.

“Pick him up and bring him to the store, NOW!” Annabelle doesn’t let go of the boy that had been kicking the one on the ground.

“Yes ma’am.” The other boys pick up the one on the ground and carries him to the hardware store.

“Make sure you have his books and everything.”

Two of the boys run back and grab the injured boy’s stuff. They follow behind Annabelle.

Dawn looks up when she notices Annabelle coming through the front door with a boy in front of her and a few others behind her carrying a beaten-up boy.

“Dawn, call Officer Fuller please and tell him I have a boy assaulting another boy here for him to put in jail.”

“Let me go lady. You’re not my parent.”

“You’re right, because if I was. You would be turned over my knees right now and having your butt tanned till you couldn’t sit down in front of your friends.”

Annabelle looks at the rest of the kids “that goes for the rest of you as well. You should had stopped it.”

Dawn gets off the phone with Officer Fuller and comes around the counter to look at the badly beaten boy. Dawn looks at one face in the crowd of boys.

“Thomas Running Bear, you should be ashamed of yourself. You should have put a stop to this. Wait till I tell your mother.”

Officer Fuller shows up. He notices Annabelle holding one kid in front of her in an arm lock.

“What can I do for you Annabelle?”

“I caught this boy kicking on that boy over there that Dawn is helping and all these other boys standing around and encouraging him.”

Officer Fuller looks down at the boy “is that true?”

The boy didn’t want to answer, until Annabelle pulls up on his arm.

“Yes sir.”

“Why were you beating him up?”

Annabelle wanted to know.

“Because he is a sissy. Look at him, he looks like a girl.”

“So, you feel you have the right to beat him up?”

Annabelle pulls up on his arm again because she was mad.

Officer Fuller saw the look on Annabelle’s face.

“Turn him over to me Annabelle.”

“Here, you can have the bully.”

Annabelle loosens her grip and gave the boy to Officer Fuller. She walks over to look at the other boy to see how he was doing.

“How’s he doing Dawn?”

“He need to go to the hospital or at least down to Dr. Dunning’s office.”

“Go ahead and take him down, Dawn. I’ll watch the shop.”

“Alright.” Dawn takes the kid out to her truck and drive him down to Dr. Dunning’s office.

“As for the rest of you boys. I want a statement from all of you and I’m going to call your parents.”

Officer Fuller took out his notebook and started taking their names and their statement. He makes phone calls to each parent of the kids. He
has them come down to the hardware store to pick up their child.

Once all the children are taken away by their parents. Annabelle waits to see how the boy is that she rescued. Dawn comes back with the
boy in tow behind her. She takes the child to her office and set McDonalds lunch bag in front of him.

“How’s the boy?”

Dawn turns to face Annabelle and Annabelle notice she was upset.

“He’s been abused by his family and by some of the children at school. The doctor found traces where the boy or I should say girl was
whipped with a belt and switch. You should see the marks on the poor girl’s body.”

“So, I take it she’s staying with us than?”

“Yes, we have temporary custody of her. A person from Children Services will be by to speak with us.”

Annabelle peeks in on the kid. It takes her back to when she was the kids age.

Gina looks up from eating when she felt someone watching her. It was the lady that had come outside and saved her from the bullies. She
smiles at her.

Annabelle returns Gina’s smile.

“Is your lunch okay?”

“Yes ma’am. Thank you for helping me.”

“You’re welcome. I’m Annabelle and you already know Dawn. If you need anything, let us know, okay?”

“Yes ma’am.”

The rest of the day goes by fast because how busy they got. Annabelle and Dawn did keep an eye on the kid and notice she was asleep on
the sofa in the office. Annabelle walks in and lays her jean jacket on the kid. They still had a few things they needed to do before they left for the night.

Annabelle and Dawn go about closing the store for the night and once everything is locked and secure. Annabelle picks up the kid and carry them outside to the truck, while Dawn sets the alarm and lock the front door. They get in the truck and head home for the night.

.

When Annabelle and Dawn wake-up the next morning they notice the girl, they rescued the other day was sleeping in between them. She looked so cute curled up between the two of them and holding Dawn’s bunny rabbit. She had her face buried against Dawn’s chest.

“Ah, she looks so cute sleeping against you.”

Annabelle was looking at Dawn as they stayed still, not wanting to wake the girl that they brought home with them yesterday.

“I didn’t even feel her get into bed with us last night.”

Dawn brushes some of her hair away from the girl’s face.

Annabelle’s chest has been hurting lately and she felt grape size bumps development under her nipples.

“I know I didn’t.” Annabelle tries to get comfortable.

Dawn looks at her “what’s wrong?”

“I think the hormones are finally having effect on my breast development. I’m feeling grape size bumps under my nipples.”

“I think you might be right. I notice you have been eating more. Your hips are starting to fill out more like a woman’s. I notice yesterday how tight your padding was under your jeans.”

“Well, I hope they do. It will be nice not to have to wear all that padding during the summer months.”

“I can image. We need to go by the shop this morning for a little while. There’s a delivery coming in and there’s only three people working this morning.”

“What are we doing afterwards?”

“Skipping Wolf and Dancing Deer have asked if we could come by and help them with a few chores around their ranch.”

“Only if Dancing Deer is making her buffalo stew. The last time she made it, it was extremely good.”

“I think she’ll be able to whip something up for us. This will also give Gina a chance to meet some people that will not be hostile towards her.”

“You know we need to go and get her some clothes to wear? She only has the clothes she wore to school yesterday.”

“I know.”

Dawn gets out of bed and heads towards the bathroom first.

Annabelle just smile as she watches Dawn walk towards the bathroom. When she disappears. She looks down at Gina and gently blow into
her ear.

Gina swats the area above her ear.

Annabelle smiles and blows again in her ear.

Gina swats the area again.

“Come on sleepy head. You can’t sleep all day.” Annabelle pulls Gina to her tickles her some.

Gina starts to squirm when she feels herself being tickled by Annabelle. She starts giggling as Annabelle tickles her on her ticklish spots.

Dawn comes walking back into the bedroom from the bathroom. She just stands in the doorway watching as Annabelle and Gina plays for a
while. She enjoyed hearing children’s laughter and now that they have Gina, she was thinking maybe they should have another child as well.

“Sounds like you two are having fun.”

Annabelle looks up at her “Yay, I thought I would tickle torture are sleeping beauty here.”

Gina looks up at Annabelle with a smile on her face. Her real parents would had never done this to her. They did when she was younger, but when she came out to them about feeling she should had been born a girl. They stopped showing any affections towards her except anger and hate.

“Well, we have things to do today. We can play later.” Dawn smiles at them.

“Well, mom has spoken, Gina.”

Annabelle places a kiss on Gina’s forehead and rushes to the bathroom. Gina looks over towards Dawn as she walks over towards the bed.

“I might have a shirt that will fit you till we go and buy you some clothes.”

“Thank you, Mrs. Running Rabbit.”

“For what Gina?” Dawn stops to look at Gina.

“For taking me in. Not many people would.” Gina was looking down at the bed.

Dawn walks over and sits down next to Gina on the bed and lifts her head up.

“I’m sorry you had to go through what you have Gina. Parents shouldn’t treat their kids like they did with you. All because they feel different than how they are born. Among us you are special and a treasure.” She hugs Gina and holds her tight to her body.

Annabelle comes walking back in. She picks up her cell phone and takes a picture of the two of them. Afterwards all three get dress and take Gina shopping for some girl clothes. Between Annabelle and Dawn choices there is no way anyone could ever tell Gina was a boy. Annabelle shows Gina a few tricks and Dawn adds a little make-up and has Gina’s hair style.

They head over towards Dancing Deer and Skipping Wolf’s house to help with a few chores around the property. Annabelle and Dawn helps
Skipping Wolf put up a few new fence posts. Gina helps Dancing Deer in the kitchen making the stew and learning how to make fry bread. Dancing Deer makes Gina wear an apron so not to get her new sundress dirty.

Gina has fun helping Dancing Deer in the kitchen. She takes some ice teas out to Annabelle, Skipping Wolf and Dawn to help them cool down.

“Thanks, little fox.”

“I think Skipping Wolf has given you your Native American name Gina.” Annabelle messes Gina’s hair.

“Little Fox?”

“It fits her Skipping Wolf.”

“I know, that’s why I called her that. The fox spirit is strong in this one.”

“Is that good or bad?”

Annabelle had a confused look on her face.

“In some tribes its good, and in others its bad. In some tribal legends, the fox is considered a prankster, while in a few they are consider wise and helpful. So, all depends. In this case young Gina is helpful and she just feels like the fox is her spirit animal. Where your spirit animal is the Red Tail Hawk, Annabelle you look for new paths. When you find the right path, you go down that path and don’t care how others feel. You and Dawn are a perfect example for little fox to follow. Where you ferret out undiscovered paths or see other paths, the rabbit are terrific planners and escape artist. They are also tricksters, but not in a bad way. This way little fox will learn how to plan for life problems and have a way to escape the problem if it doesn’t work out. Little fox has a good example of what to look for and how to make plans just in case things don’t work. Which will add to her wisdom.”

He smiles at Gina.

Gian returns the smile and heads back inside to help Dancing Deer. By the time they stop for the dinner. They have eight fence post up and
strung with wire.

“Are we still on tomorrow for horseback riding?”

“Yep! We’ll meet you at 6:00am tomorrow and have a picnic while we are out horseback riding.”

Dawn looks over towards Gina “have you ever ridden a horse?”

“Yes ma’am. I used to ride all the time, before I was told to give it up. I miss it.”

“Well, you can ride as much as you want to at home or here Little Fox. You’re always welcome here.”

“Thank you, Skipping Wolf.” Gina smiles over at him.

“Any time kiddo. Just remember though, your mothers have to approve first.”

“I don’t see why she can’t. I can bring her over on my motorcycle when she wants to ride.”

Gina looks towards Annabelle “you have a motorcycle?”

“Yep, I haven’t been riding it lately, but I have one.”

“Cool!”

Annabelle smiles at Gina’s excitement. She knew Dawn didn’t care for them much, but she was always careful when she did ride.

Annabelle and Dawn help with cleaning up the dirty dishes and putting away the rest of the stew. Dancing Deer gives some to Annabelle to take home with them.

As they are driving home. Dawn looks over towards Gina, since Annabelle was driving.

“Did you have fun today?”

“Yes ma’am. I enjoyed helping Dancing Deer in the kitchen and learning how to make fry bread and meeting Skipping Wolf. Why do they call
him Skipping Wolf anyway?”

“Well, when Skipping Wolf was born, there was an injured wolf walking by and it looked like it was skipping. So, they named him after the injured wolf.”

“Oh.” Gina could almost picture a wolf skipping along.

Annabelle just smiles as she drives them home.

Is was a task getting everyone up at five in the morning. Annabelle had to get Gina ready first and make some breakfast for her. Dawn was having her period and wasn’t feeling to well. They had made what they were going to have for the picnic last night before going to bed and had it packed and ready to go. She had to get herself ready as well. Gina had slept with them again last night.

She packs a backpack with compass, suntan lotion, energy bars, trail mix, toilet wipes, fire starter kit and emergency first aid kit to take with them. She had a few canteens and water skins filled with water to drink while out on the trail. By 5:30 a.m. they left the house with their horses loaded up in the trailer and headed to the park where they were meeting Skipping Wolf and Dancing Deer. Gina was leaning against Dawn asleep again.

She was driving because Dawn was still waking up. It was hard at first because she had never driven a truck with a trailer before. After she left the driveway, she got used to having the trailer attached to the truck.

Dawn gave her directions to the park they were going to. They got there before Skipping Wolf and Dancing Deer.

“Look like we beat Skipping Wolf.”

Annabelle looks over towards Dawn. She notices that Gina was snuggled up against Dawn. She takes her cellphone out and snaps a few shots of Gina snuggled up against Dawn.

“You’re enjoying this, aren’t you?”

“I think it’s cute mommy Dawn.”

Annabelle leans over carefully and places a kiss on Dawn’s lips. She sits back and gets out of the truck and start leading the horses out of the back of the trailer. She ties them off on the side of the trailer. Just as she gets the last horse tied off, Skipping Wolf and Dancing Deer show up.

“You’re late.”

Annabelle looks at them as their truck comes to a stop next to them.

“Sorry, sleepy head didn’t want to get out of bed. Where’s your other half and Little Fox?”

“Still in the truck. She woke-up not feeling to good and Little Fox fell back to sleep after we left the house. I figure I would let her sleep till I got the horses saddled, before waking her.”

“Well, I’ll give you a hand. If you’ll give me a hand?”

“Sounds like a deal to me and thanks Skipping Wolf."

“You’re welcome Red Hawk.

Annabelle just smiled at being called Red Hawk. Between her and Skipping Wolf, they get all the horses saddle and the picnic basket secured.

Annabelle makes sure she the blanket she brought with them to have their picnic on is secure. Annabelle walks over to the passenger side door and taps on the window.

“Time to wake-up sleepy heads.”

Dancing Deer tries not to laugh at Annabelle’s antics.

Dawn opens the truck door and climbs out with a sleepy child beside her.

“Come mere sleepy head.”

She reaches into the back of the truck and pulls a cowgirl hat out for Gina.

“I thought you might like your own cowgirl hat.”

Annabelle puts a brand-new light brown hat with a turquoise and silver band going around the hat on Gina’s head.

“Thank you, mom.” Gina hugs Annabelle.

“You’re welcome sweetie.” Annabelle hugs Gina back.

She releases Gina when Gina releases her.

“I got you one as well, sweetie.” Annabelle grabs the other one that matched Gina’s, except Dawn’s had a silver belt style band going around her hat. Annabelle’s pull her hat out and puts it on. Her hat was a dark brown leather hat with a silver hawk on the first of it.

“That’s a nice hat.”

Dawn was looking at Annabelle’s hat.

“Tried to find one in your size, but they didn’t have another one like this.”

“That’s alright sweetie. I’ll just wear yours when you’re not wearing it.”

Dawn gives Annabelle a kiss and gets up on her horse. Annabelle mounts her horse and watch as Gina uses the stepping step to mount her horse.

Skipping Wolf takes the lead with Dawn next followed by Gina followed by Dancing Deer and Annabelle bring up the rear. They ride out and travel for a good four hours, before stopping for everyone to dismount and stretch their legs. Annabelle passes the canteens and water skin around and offer the trail mix and energy bars. She puts some lotion on Gina, so she doesn’t burn, but tan.

“Are you enjoying yourself Little Fox?”

Skipping Wolf was chewing on an energy bar that Annabelle gave him.

“Yes sir. It’s been a while since I was permitted to ride a horse.” Gina was petting her horse.

“Well, if your serious about riding horses. You might be able to talk your mother into teaching you how to do barrel racing. She used to be good
at it when she was younger.”

Gina looks over towards Dawn “you used to do barrel racing?”

“Yep, I won a few trophy’s. I don’t mind teaching you how to barrel race.”

Gina smiles and hug Dawn.

Annabelle was enjoying the interaction between Gina and Dawn.

Dancing Deer walks up to stand next to Annabelle “I think the two of you are going to make wonderful mothers.”

Annabelle looks at Dancing Deer “I hope so Dancing Deer. I want Gina to have the type of life I never had. I think the spirits were looking out for me and Running Rabbit there the day she had a flat tire.”

“You never know Red Hawk. However, I think you are right about that. The three of you make a loving family.”

“Thanks Dancing Deer.” Annabelle hugs Dancing Deer and afterwards everyone remounts their horses.

They travel till about two o’clock and set up the picnic blanket. They let the horses gazed, while Dancing Deer and Annabelle set-up the picnic.
Annabelle had packed some sweet tea in two coffee coolers for them to drink. It was a simple lunch of chopped chicken breast served on a salad with three different type of dressing to pick from. Some ham and turkey sandwiches were made to go with the salad.

“Mommy, can I go and pick some flowers?”

“Sure sweetie. Just stay where we can see you.”

Annabelle watches as Gina skips away looking for flowers to pick.

“So, how does it feel to be mothers?”

“Strange for me, considering I’m only eighteen years old.”

Annabelle looks towards Dawn to see how she felt.

“To be honest with you Skipping Wolf. I like being called mom and having a wife as well.”

“Well, you still need to make it official on both accounts.”

“We know Skipping Wolf. We’re hoping the courts don’t turn down our request to adopt Gina.”

“If you get the right judge, he or she shouldn’t.”

“We still have to ask Gina if she wants us to be her parents.”

Skipping Wolf looks in the direction he saw Gina skip off to.

“I think Little Fox already thinks of you two as her parents.”

“I think you’re right.”

Dancing Deer stands up “come on Skipping Wolf.”

Annabelle and Dawn watches as the two of them walk off. Dawn moves closer to Annabelle and start kissing her. Annabelle wraps her arms around Dawn and hold her.

“Feeling better?”

“Not really, but I figure this will give us a chance to snuggle while they are off walking. How are your breast feeling?”

“Sore and I think they have gotten a little bigger. I decided not to wear my butt or hip pads today.”

“You’re going to be sore tomorrow, you know that?”

“Yes and no. I swallowed some Aleve before we left the house this morning. So, by the time it wears off. I should be okay.”

Gina comes skipping back with a bunch of flowers in her hands.

“Moms, look what I found.”

Both Dawn and Annabelle look up when they hear Gina’s voice. They notice she had a handful of different flowers with her.

“Come mere sweetie.”

Gina comes over and sits down next to Annabelle and Dawn. Dawn shows Gina how to weave the flowers into a ring and put the ring on her hat to wear. Annabelle takes some of the left-over flowers they didn’t use and put a few in her hat and Dawn’s hat.

“There, now you look like a flower girl.”

Annabelle pulls Gina to her and holds her against her body.

Gina wraps her arms around Annabelle and just enjoying laying with her mothers. After thirty minutes. Skipping Wolf and Dancing Deer come back from their walk.

“You girls ready to pack up and ride back?”

Annabelle looks up at Skipping Wolf “You had to go and spoil a nice moment.”

“Sorry. Come on young um’s let’s get a move on.”

Dancing Deer helps Dawn fold up the picnic blanket, while Annabelle puts away what they didn’t eat and secure the blanket and basket on her horse. Everyone mounts their horses and rides back without stopping back to the trucks. All of them help each other unsaddle the horses and brushes them down. They wait to let them cool down before loading them into their respected trailers.

“Well, the paperwork has been submitted to adopt Gina as our own child.” Dawn comes out of the back office.

“What did Mrs. Holmes say when you told her we wanted to adopt Gina?”

Annabelle was removing some cash from the register, because they didn’t like keeping a large amount in it. She puts it in an envelope and
write how much it is and drops it into the safe they have under the counter.

“She asked why we took so long to fill the paperwork out.”

Annabelle’s chest was hurting her more today, then it had yesterday when they went horseback riding.

“Because we hadn’t really talked about it till yesterday.”

Annabelle had turned around to look at Dawn.

“I also applied for our marriage license as well. Are you sure you want to take my last name?”

Dawn was looking at Annabelle to see if she was serious.

Annabelle walks over to Dawn and wrap her arms around her waist and lean in and kiss her.

“Yes, I’m sure I want to marry you and take your last name as my own.”

Dawn just smiles and return the kiss.

“Mmmm, I so do love the taste of you.” Annabelle squeezes Dawns butt cheeks.

“Oh, I forgot to tell you. My aunts and female cousins want to kidnap you and Gina next weekend. They have something planned for the two of
you.”

“Aren’t you coming?”

“Nope, I disappear with them this weekend. So, it’s going to be just you and Gina at the house this weekend when we close on Friday night.”

“I wonder what they have plan?”

“Who knows. It’s being organized by my great aunt.”

“Do you think Gina is going to be okay in school?”

“She better be. My cousins are looking out for her and I told the principle if she comes home with one bruise on her that wasn’t from normal
teenage activates, I am going to sue the school and him personally.”

“I hope so.”

Annabelle and Dawn go about running the store during the day. Annabelle had ridden her motorcycle to work today, because she had some
errands to run during her lunch break.

“I’m taking lunch Dawn. Is there anything you want me to pick-up on the way back?”

Dawn stands and thinks about Annabelle’s question.

“Ya, can you stop at the shoes store and pick-up two pairs of shoes for Gina? I notice her tennis shoes were looking worn.”

“Sure, what size is she?”

“She’s a size five. I checked her feet the other day when I bought her the boots.”

“Okay, any particular color or just plain white?”

“Get her a baby blue pair and a normal white pair for gym class.”

“Okay.”

Annabelle heads to the shoe store and finds two nice pair of tennis shoes for Gina and a pair of cowgirl boots for Dawn. Dawn’s boots were
looking a little scruffy. After she leaves the shoe store, she heads to the jewelry store to pick-up the special design engagement rings she had made for her and Dawn. She stops at the lingerie store and pick out a few pieces of lingerie for her and Dawn as well. She buys a couple of baby doll nighties for Gina to wear to bed or around the house. She finally makes it to her and Dawn’s favorite diner to get lunch. She grabs a lunch plate for herself and one for Dawn. She heads back to the hardware store.

“I’m back and I brought you lunch as well.”

“You didn’t need to sweetie.”

Dawn places a kiss on Annabelle’s lips.

“I know, but I figure since I was getting mine, I would grab a lunch plate for you as well. Go ahead and open your plate.”

Annabelle had the cook place the engagement ring in the lunch plate so Dawn would see it when she opened it.

Dawn opens her lunch plate and notice the engagement ring sitting inside. She looks at Annabelle with tears in her eyes.

“I know you already said yes to marrying me, but I thought I would do it proper and ask you to marry me.”

“Yes!”

Dawn wraps her arms around Annabelle, after removing the ring and slipping it on her finger. She gives her a passionate kiss.

Annabelle returns the kiss. She slips the other engagement ring into Dawn’s hand.

“I thought you might want to slip my ring onto my hand.”

Dawn slips the ring onto Annabelle’s hand.

“Annabelle Lee, will you become my wife and partner?”

“Yes!”

Annabelle kisses Dawn back and a loud cheer and clapping could be heard from inside the store.

Both women turn their heads to look. They thought the store was empty.

“It’s about time you two asked each other.”

Jerry and few others that had figured out that Dawn and Annabelle were lovers were smiling at them.

Annabelle buries her head against Dawn’s shoulder from embarrassment.

“Ah, ain’t that cute. Annabelle is blushing.”

Dawn just laughs and hold Annabelle to her. After a few minutes Annabelle steps, back away from Dawn’s shoulder and face everyone in the
store.

“What? You didn’t think we wouldn't figure it out, Annabelle? We have never seen Dawn so happy before. We saw it the first day you came to
work with her.”

Annabelle glances over towards Dawn and smiles.

The store stays busy until three thirty and they wait for Gina to come walking to the store. Gina comes walking in looking happy and cheerful.

“How was school today?”

“It was good mom’s. A few people try to bully me, but Jumping Elk and Dark Moon put an end to that right away. They walked me to all my
classes. Their sisters were in my gym class and they had me change next to them in the locker room. I never knew how vicious and cruel some girls could be to one another. They were picking on this one girl who isn’t popular and wore second hand clothes and such. Her name is Cyra and she is a nice person. I asked her if she would like to have lunch with me tomorrow.”

“Why don’t you see if she would like to come by the store as well. We can take her home.”

“Okay, I’ll ask her if she would like to come by.”

Gina heads into the office to do her school work. She sticks her head out a few seconds later.

“Mom, can I get a soda please?”

“Go ahead and grab yourself a snack as well.”

“Thanks mom.”

Gina grabs a juice from the soda cooler and a bag of trail mix. She takes it to the counter for Annabelle to ring up.

“Okay, go do your homework.”

“Yes ma’am.”

Gina heads back into the office to start on her homework.

The rest of the afternoon goes by slowly as Annabelle and Dawn leave to go home for the day. The evening staff and manager stay to close
the store up.

When they get home, Annabelle heads to the bedroom.

“Gina, could you come in here for a second please?”

Gina heads into her parents’ bedroom and notices two bags on the bed.

“We’ve bought you two new pairs of tennis shoes to wear to school and you keep the ones you have on to work in the barn with Dawn and me. Also, I thought you might like something to wear to bed that was a little bit more girly.”

Annabelle shows the baby doll nightie she bought for Gina to wear.

A big smile appears on Gina’s face. It was in her favorite color and was something she always wanted.

“Thank you, mommy.”

Gina hugs Annabelle.

“You’re welcome. I bought you three different ones, so you’ll have your choice to wear at night. Why don’t you surprise mommy Dawn tonight?”

“Okay.”

Gina takes both bags and runs to her bedroom.

Annabelle walks into the kitchen to help with dinner.

“Did Gina like her new shoes?”

“Yep, I told her she could keep her old ones and wear them to help you and me out in the barn.”

“We might want to think about giving her an allowance so she can have some spending money.”

“That’s not a bad idea. She could do chores around the house and at the store.”

Between the two of them, they get dinner finish and set the table. Gina couldn’t wait for dinner to be over so she could go and take her bath and slip on her new night clothes.

Once dinner is done. Gina helps clearing the table and cleaning the kitchen up. She heads towards the bathroom and takes her bath
afterwards.

Annabelle and Dawn sit in the living room and listen to some music from Annabelle’s Iphone. Dawn was reading a book she started and
Annabelle was cleaning her guns. She had fired them last weekend when they went to Skipping Wolf’s house. He wanted to see her guns.

“Moms are you two in the living room?”

Dawn looks up “yes, we are sweetie. Do you need help?”

“No ma’am.” Gina comes walking out in the light blue baby doll nightie.

“Ta Da.” Gina twirls for her mothers to see.

Dawn looks over to Annabelle “you bought that for her?”

“Yep, she looks cute in it.”

Annabelle had a smile on her face as she looked at Gina.

“She does look cute in it.”

“What do you think of it Gina?”

“I like it mom. Thank you.”

Gina hugs Dawn and then Annabelle.

“You’re welcome sweetie. Did you try the others on to make sure they fit you?”

“Others?” Dawn looks towards Annabelle.

“I bought her three different ones in different colors. I figure she might like these. I also bought one for you and me as well.”

“Not yet mommy.” Gina saw the baby blue one and wanted to put it on right away.

“I can’t wait to see what you got for me to wear.”

Dawn closes her book and head into the bedroom and look at the one Annabelle left lying on the bed for her. It was skimpy and lacey, but
wouldn’t show to much around Gina. Dawn takes a shower and comes back out in her baby doll nightie.

Gina looks at her mom “wow! mom, you look cute.”

“Why thank you, Gina.”

“Now your turn Annabelle.”

Annabelle locks her guns up in the gun safe and puts away her cleaning kit. She heads into the bathroom and takes a shower and comes out
later wearing the other pink one she had chosen for herself.

She had bought a slinky one for herself, but not to slinky and sexy that it would bother Gina.

Annabelle comes walking into the living like a model showing off her baby doll nightie. She wiggles her ass in front of Dawn.

Gina just laugh at her mother’s antics.

Dawn just laughs as well.

All three of them cuddled on the sofa. When they notice Gina falling asleep. Annabelle picks her up and carry her to her bedroom and tuck her
in and puts Dawn’s bunny rabbit next to her.

“Sweet dreams little fox.”

She places a kiss on her cheek and back out of her bedroom, leaving the door open a crack for her. Annabelle heads to her and Dawns
bedroom and the two of them end up making passionate love most of the night.

Wednesday morning:
“God, how much stuff did we order?”

Annabelle was looking at the invoice for their morning delivery. As everything came off the delivery truck, she would checked the items off after comparing it to the invoice to make sure they got what they ordered.

“Annabelle, you have a phone call, it’s Gina.”

“I wonder why Gina didn’t call my cell phone?”

“Can you take over for me, please?”

“Sure.”

“Thanks, Sam.”

Annabelle hands her clipboard off to Sam. They just hired him last week. She had found out that every place he applied had turned him down. He had a misdemeanor on his police record that was seven years old and companies were still holding it against him. Her and Dawn had talked about it and felt he deserved a chance to prove himself to them. So far he has been a very dependable employee and very helpful to the customers when they had questions about items they would need for a job.

Annabelle walks into the office and pick-up the phone.

“Hello?”

“Mrs. Lee, this is the school nurse Missy Becker. Could you come up here to school please?”

“Sure, I’ll be up there in a few minutes. Is everything okay with Gina?”

“She’s fine Mrs. Lee, but she won’t leave her friend.”

“Which of her friends she won’t leave?”

“Cyra Williams. She refuses to leave her side.”

“Okay, I’ll be there in ten minutes.”

Annabelle hangs the phone up and grab her purse and the keys to the company’s pick-up truck. As she comes out of the office. She looks over towards Amy.

“Amy, can you tell Dawn that I had to run up to the school please?”

“Sure Annabelle, is everything okay?”

“I don’t know.”

Annabelle heads out to the pick-up truck and drives towards the school. She wonders why Gina was in the nurses office and what friend of hers was it she wouldn’t leave? She stays within the speed limit; only going five over. She parks the truck at the first available parking space she spots and walks into the school. She heads towards the office first to check in.

“Good morning, I’m Annabelle Lee and I’m here to pick-up Gina Summers.”

“Ah, Mrs. Lee. If you could follow me down to the nurses office, please.”

“Sure Principle Conway.”

Annabelle follows behind Mrs. Conway.

“Can you tell me why my daughter is in the nurses office.”

“It will be better if I explain it to you in private Mrs. Lee.”

“Okay.”

The two of them walk into the nurses office and notice Gina sitting with blood on her blouse.

“Gina!”

Annabelle runs over to Gina and check her over.

“I’m okay mom. It’s Cyra. Her father hurt her badly.”

Annabelle could tell Gina had been crying.

“Mrs Lee, how much do you know about Cyra Williams home life?”

“Nothing, Cyra and Gina just became friends a few days ago. Why?”

“Cyra looks to have been abused by her father both physically and sexually. She’s refusing to go to the hospital without Gina with her. I can’t let Gina leave school if she’s not hurt without your permission.”

“Is she still here?”

“Yes ma’am and Gina won’t leave her unless you’re here or her other mother is here.”

“I’ll speak with Gina. Go ahead and get the paramedics here and a police officer as well.”

“Thank you.”

Annabelle pulls her cell phone out and dials Mrs. Holmes number to see if she could see what could be done to help Cyra. She leaves her a message and hopes she calls her back.

She looks over towards Gina.

“Gina can you tell me what happened please?”

“Yes ma’am. We were walking to school and she was walking funny. I asked her if she was alright and she said yes. We stopped for a few
minutes and rest and came the rest of the way. When we got to the front door, she had blood sliding down her leg on the inside. I helped her here to the nurses office and held her hand as the nurse checked her. She wouldn’t let go of my hand and I didn’t want to leave her.”

“Where’s the nurse?”

“She’s with Cyra right now mom.”

Nurse Becker comes from the room she had taken Cyra to with a camera in her hands.

“How is she nurse Becker?”

Annabelle looks towards nurse Becker nods her head towards her daughter.

Missy got the message and tucked the camera in her pocket.

“I managed to stop the bleeding. She wants Gina.”

Gina didn’t wait for permission. She gets up and runs into the room.

Annabelle watches her daughter and as soon as the door was closed. She looks towards nurse Becker.

“How bad is it?”

“I can’t discuss her situation with you Ms. Lee. Your not her legal guardian.”

“I may not be her legal guardian Miss. Becker, but she is my daughters friend and that makes it my business. Because, if she is as bad off as I think she is. You better have her parents arrested.”

The paramedics come rushing in just as nurse Becker was about to tell Annabelle. Nurse Becker takes the paramedics to the room Cyra was in and load her onto the stretcher. Gina wouldn’t let go of her hand as they took her out of the room.

“Let my daughter ride with her.”

“Alright.”

Annabelle follows behind them as they put Cyra in the ambulance and heads to the hospital.

She has to stop Gina from punching a male nurse from separating her from Cyra.

“Gina, you can’t go in there with her. We’ll have to wait out here.”

Annabelle holds her daughter. Her cellphone starts ring. Annabelle looks at the number and notice it was Dawn’s number.

“Hey sweetie. I’m down here at the emergency room with Gina. She’s okay, its her friend Cyra who’s being operating on right now. I can’t tell you everything right now, but we might want to get a bunk bed set for Gina’s bedroom.”

"What happened to Cyra?"

“I’ll explain later. Gina wants to stay here for her friend. Ya, I will be taking the rest of the day off and staying with her. Okay, I’ll talk with you later.”

"Okay, we'll talk later."

“Love you.”

"Love you too."

Gina looks up at Annabelle “am I in trouble?”

“No, little fox. You’re not in trouble. If anything, you did a really good deed today.”

Annabelle kisses Gina’s forehead and hugs her.

They sit for awhile and Annabelle’s cellphone rings again.

“Hello?”

“Annabelle is something wrong?”

“No, ma’am. Dawn and I want to know what we need to do to get custody of a friend of Gina’s that been abused?”

“Can you prove this?”

“Yes ma’am, I can. Were at the hospital right now with her and the police have the pictures the nurse at Gina’s school took of her.”

“Do you know what type of abuse?”

“She’s been physically abused and sexually abused and I would have to say by her parents. I can’t prove they did it, but she came to school today bleeding from between her legs and I don’t think it was the start of her period either.”

“I’ll try right now to get a judged to give you temporary custody of her.”

“Okay, thank you Mrs. Holmes.”

“You’re welcome.”

Annabelle and Gina stay most of the day. They make sure they have the room Cyra’s room number.

Friday:
Gina was enjoying having Cyra staying with them. Cyra didn’t care that Gina wasn’t a genetic girl and had to share a bedroom with her. The two of them were comfortable around each other. Mrs. Holmes managed to get Dawn and Annabelle temporary custody of Cyra. She had gotten a copy of the police report and the medical reports, along with the pictures the nurse took of Cyra. Annabelle’s guess had been right about Cyra’s parents physically and sexually abusing her. Cyra’s mother didn’t care her husband was molesting their daughter. If nothing else, she was jealous that her husband was having sex with their daughter. Mrs. Holmes couldn’t believe what the police report had said.

Annabelle and Dawn couldn’t believe what they found out from Cyra about her mom being jealous and even threatening her. Gina brought Cyra’s homework home from her teachers. Since, Cyra couldn’t walk much because of the damage done by her father. She spent the morning with Annabelle and Dawn at the store. Dawn was going to be picked up by the women of her family after work.

“You think Gina enjoys have a sister?”

“I would have to say yes.”

Annabelle and Dawn were watching the girls as they worked on their homework and class work.

“So, what time are your relatives coming to pick you up?”

“When we close the store tonight. Will you be alright with two teenage girls?”

“We’ll be fine. We’re having a movie night while your gone. The girls want to sleep in the living room tonight.”

“Ah, that should be fun. We’re going to have to make it a monthly thing.”

“I think they would enjoy that.”

Dawn goes and grabs everyone some dinner from the diner. Certain members from Dawn’s family show up five minutes before they closed the doors. They close the store and Dawn helps Cyra to the truck as Gina puts their backpacks in the back.

“Have fun.”

Annabelle gives Dawn a kiss just before she leaves.

“You two sweetie. You girls behave yourself as well.”

“We will mom.”

Dawn hugs each girl and walks off with her relatives.

“Alright, lets head home and get you two set-up in the living room.”

Dawn drives towards their house.

Annabelle was ready to go through the roof when they left the courthouse. Her and Dawn could barely control their anger when they heard what Cyra parents had done to her. Then their slime ball defense attorney trying to say a lesbian couple shouldn’t be allowed to raise a little girl. How their relationship was against gods words and his Christian beliefs.

If it hadn’t been for the judge threatening to toss his butt in jail for slander. Annabelle would had gotten up and punched him in his face. The judge threw the book at Cyra’s parents and awarded permanent custody of Cyra to Annabelle and Dawn. Now the two of them were mothers to two young girls.

“You know if we adopt any more children, were going to need a bigger house.”

“We can just expand off the one we have already. After all, we do own a hardware store and we know several contractors that will give us a good deal to do the work.”

“True, did you enjoy the weekend with your relatives?”

“It was interesting to say the least. You and the girls are going this weekend, so pack a bag for you and the girls.”

“Okay. Since we have the day off from work. Do you want to do anything special while the girls are in school?”

Dawn knew what Annabelle wanted to do.

“Let’s go by the store and do the grocery shopping. Afterwards, we can go home and explore each other’s bodies.” Dawn leans over and kiss Annabelle as they head for the grocery store.

They spend almost an hour-n-half shopping. They were low on several things and wanted to buy a few extra items for the girls. When they are done shopping. They headed home and put things away. They end up spending the whole afternoon worshiping each other’s bodies. For the first time in Annabelle’s life. She lets Dawn talk her into making love to her like a normal man does without protection.

By the time it’s time for the girls to come home from school. They take a shower together and slip on something comfortable. Cyra and Gina come walking into the house. Both girls look down in the dump.

“What’s wrong sweeties?”

Annabelle and Dawn both were concern about their daughters.

“Some guys in school were picking on Gina today. We told the teachers and they handled it, but a few girls made comments about Gina being
in the girl’s locker room.”

“Where was your cousins, Gina?”

“They were putting away the gym equipment we used today. The girls not only picked on me, but on Cyra as well.”

“What do you mean Gina? What did they say?”

“They were calling her a whore and a slut.”

“Do you know who called her those names?”

“Yes, ma’am and we told the teacher as well.”

“Come here girls.”

Both girls walk over to their mothers.

Dawn and Annabelle hug both girls.

“Don’t worry sweeties. We’ll go up to the school tomorrow and talk with the Principle. We’ll try to put a stop to this. Remember, don’t let things
like this get to you. You girls are special and everyone else doesn’t know the truth about what happened. If they keep teasing and picking on you, let us and your instructors know so we can do something about it.”

Both woman hug their daughters and help them with their homework. Annabelle makes dinner with Gina’s help, while Cyra and Dawn set the table. After dinner, Annabelle serves up the dessert they had bought earlier for the girls. Cyra had liked the baby doll nightgown that Gina had, so Annabelle and Dawn had picked up a few for her on their way home today. Both ladies tuck the girls in and stayed up for a little while reading and playing a game.

The next morning, Annabelle and Dawn drop the girls off at school and talk with the principle about what they were told last night. The principle insures them that an assemble was going to be held today and it was going to be made clear that bullying in any from will not be tolerated.
Anyone found bullying will be expelled from school.

Annabelle hands a voice active tape recorder to both Gina and Cyra and told them to make sure if someone does bully them to record it. That way they will have proof.

Dawn had notice Annabelle hand the girls the recorders. When the girls had walked off.

“You are sneaky.”

“I had to do the samething when I was in school when people found out about me. Parents believe that their child wouldn’t do something like
that and that the other child is lying. So, I believe in the CYOA belief.”

“That makes sense. Come on, we have a store to run.”

They head to the hardware store and opened it up. Their newest employee Sam was already there waiting on them.

“Sorry for being late Sam. We had to talk to our daughter’s principle.”

“That’s understandable. I have children of my own.”

“Oh, what are their ages?”

“12 and 15 years old. Both are girls like your own children.”

“God, what was I doing when I was fifteen?”

“Probably getting into trouble with the guys.”

Dawn just smiles at Annabelle.

“Nay, I was in the process of changing foster homes. The one I had been in couldn’t handle certain things about me.”

“Well, I don’t know what it was or is, but you seem pretty normal to me.”

“Who wants to be normal? I want to rule the world.”

Annabelle walks off laughing.

Dawn just shakes her head to her lover antics.

“So, how was your weekend Sam?”

“Quiet. I went fishing with a few friends. I caught a few fish.”

“How many did you guys catch all together?”

“Eight totals and finished off four six packs.”

“I think I would be quiet after drinking that much beer.”

Dawn knew she would had passed out after three beers.

“OW!”

Everyone up front could hear Annabelle from the back.

Sam and Dawn run towards the back to see what happened.

They see Annabelle lying flat on her back. There was some blood under her head. Sam rushes to get the first aid kit. Dawn moves to
Annabelle’s side quickly.

“Are you alright?”

“Ya, I slipped and banged my head on the floor.”

She touches the back of her head and comes back with blood on her fingers.

“I think we better called the paramedics.”

Annabelle was looking at Dawn.

“No need just yet.” Sam kneels and looks at the bump.

“It’s not to serious. You just cracked your skull a little bit.”

Sam fixes Annabelle up and clean-up the blood from the floor. Annabelle rinses her hair out to get the blood out of it. Dawn and Sam keep an eye on Annabelle throughout the day making sure she was alright.

After lunch time Annabelle was back to her annoying self. She did go by the doctor during her lunch break to get checked out. She buys lunch
for Dawn, Sam and herself on the way back to the store. At two o’clock in the afternoon, the girls show up at the store.

“How did things go today girls?”

Dawn and Annabelle wanted to know.

“The Principle called everyone to the auditorium and said that anyone caught bullying would be suspended from school for two weeks. One kid
didn’t believe the principle and got caught giving me a hard time.”

“Did you record what they said?”

“Yes ma’am. I played it back for the teacher and the principle.”

“That’s my girl.”

Annabelle and Dawn both smiled at Gina and Cyra.

“Go ahead and grab what snacks you want.”

“Yes ma’am.”

Once dawn rings the snacks up and pays for the items herself. She watches as the girls go to the office and start on their homework.

“Looks like your plan worked.”

“It always worked for me when I was in school.”

Annabelle grabs her clipboard and pencil and does inventory of the shelves.

The rest of the afternoon goes by quickly. Dawn and Annabelle were scheduled to closed the store that night. Since they took yesterday off.
They had one more customer left. Dawn had gone to the diner to get them dinner. The girls had finished their homework early, so Dawn put them to work in the store. By the time nine o’clock rolled around; everyone was tired.

“Okay, lets head home gang.”

Everyone piles up into the truck and head home. Once they were home. The girls take a bath and Annabelle tucks them into bed.

“Sleep tight my little angels.”

“I’m taking the girls to their ballet practice.”

Annabelle grabbed the keys to the used SUV they bought recently. They had bought it from one of their customers. He was downsizing and wanted something smaller. Besides, their truck wasn’t cutting it any more with four people inside the cabin area.

They had just gotten it the day before her and the girls were whisked off by Dawn’s family for the weekend. She was taking the girls to their ballet class. The instructor that taught the class was a client of theirs and she had a good reputation. She had been in several productions and visited a lot of places. One of the productions she had been in was CATS. She played Rumpleteazer in several productions. She treats Gina like she would any other girl and reinforces lady like behavior into Gina.

Annabelle pulls into the parking space in front of the studio.

“Alright girls, go in there and do what your instructor tells you to do. I love you two.”

Annabelle hugs each girl and gives them a kiss on their cheeks before they leave the SUV. She watches as they enter the studio and wait a few minutes before leaving. She knew the girls would be in the studio for at least two hours.

Annabelle heads back to the store to work the floor and register, while Dawn does the books and get payroll ready for Friday. Since she ran into Dawn that morning several months ago, her life has changed. Before she had no idea where she was going or what she was going to do. She had patterned her looks off the actress Helena Mattsson. Her own breast were growing and she figures, she might be a bit bigger then the actress. The rest of her body matched the actress body measurements and weight. She could be standing right next to her and pass as her twin sister.

Annabelle arrives back at the hardware store and takes over for Dawn. The rest of the employees were helping people. She spots a young teenage boy trying to steal an item from one of the displays.

Annabelle walks quietly up behind him and instead of accusing him of stealing. She drops a few dollars near him on the floor and walks back to the counter. She discreetly glances at him as she notices him picking the money up. She walks up to the counter and waits to see what he does. She has seen the boy around and knew he was a good kid. She also knew that his parents were down on their luck and the boy would beg or try to make money to help his family out.

Derick thought for sure that Annabelle had seen him stealing and was about to stop him, but she didn’t. She had continue to walk up to the counter checking the shelves as she went. When he turned around and saw the bills on the floor someone had drop and decide that with the money he could pay for the item instead.

When he went up to the counter, Annabelle acted surprised to see him.

“Hey Derick, how would you like to make a few bucks tomorrow?”

“Sure, what’s the job?”

“Well, we could use someone to pick-up the trash around the building outside and due some minor yard word. Do you think you could handle the job? I’ll throw lunch in as well.”

“Sure, I can do it. What time tomorrow?”

“Let’s say 8 o’clock tomorrow.”

“I’ll be here.”

Annabelle gives Derick the change from the money he gives her for what he just bought.

“See you tomorrow morning Derick.”

Annabelle watches as he leaves the store.

Dawn had over heard everything. She walks over to Annabelle to speak to her.

“Found another cause?”

Annabelle plays innocent. “I know we can’t help everyone, but Derick is a good kid and is looking out for his family. I thought maybe, I could hook him up with one of the contractors we know that could take him under their wing and teach him their business. Besides, I’m paying Derick out of my own pocket, instead of the stores.”

“That’s why I love you. You have a big heart.” She leans in and gives Annabelle a kiss.

“And here I thought it was my body you were after.”

“I already own that. I just needed the heart to go with it.”

Dawn smacks Annabelle on the butt gently, as she goes to ring up a customer.

Annabelle gets back to work in the store. Sam and another person was their evening manager. Sam didn’t mind being the evening
manager and if he wanted to work a morning shift, she knew Dawn or herself would trade with him.

The afternoon goes by quickly just from the sales they were having. Dawn left to pick the girls up from ballet practice and by she got back to the store, Annabelle had an hour left on her shift.

The next day, after the girls were dropped off at school. Annabelle and Dawn opened the store like normal and Derick was there when they arrived.

“Have you been waiting long Derick?”

Dawn opens the store as Annabelle leads Derick into the store.

“Only a few minutes. I got a ride with my next door neighbor. He was heading this way and allowed me to ride with him.”

“That's always good, let’s go ahead and get you geared up and working.”

Annabelle gets everything Derick was going need.

“Look, if it gets to be too hot outside for you. Come inside and grab some water or if you want a juice or soda, let me know, okay?”

“Thanks Annabelle.”

“You’re welcome.”

Annabelle watches as Derick heads outside and start picking up all the trash on the property. She checks on him throughout the morning and couldn’t believe how thoroughly he was doing the job. He wasn’t leaving anything on the ground. After three hours he comes in to grab a bottle of water.

“I have most of the trash picked up around the building. Just one side left to do.”

“Okay, let me know when your done.”

“Okay, Annabelle.”

Dawn and Annabelle just watched as Derick goes back outside to finish the job. An hour later, Derick comes back in and Annabelle shows him what she wanted done.

“Derick, Dawn and I are getting subs for lunch. Would you like one or would you like something different?”

“Subs are fine. Would it be okay to get a steak sub, Annabelle?”

“It would be fine, do you want a full sub?”

“Yes ma’am.”

“Okay. Anything special to drink?”

“A medium coke if that’s okay.”

“That’s fine.”

Derick goes back to work.

Twenty minutes later, Annabelle returns with their lunch. She got a full sub meal for Derick with a medium soda like Derick asked.

“Thanks Annabelle.”

“You’re welcome Derick. I think Dawn wants to talk with you when your done.”

“Okay.”

Derick goes back outside to finish the work Annabelle assigned him and when he is done. He heads inside to speak to Dawn.

“You wanted to talk with me Dawn?”

“Yes, let’s speak in the office.”

“Okay.” Derick follows Dawn into the office.

“Shut the door please and have a seat.”

Derick does as instructed and looks at Dawn.

“Derick, Annabelle has said you were looking for a job. I don’t have any full time positions opened right now, but if you don’t mind working part time, I could use you. Also, I spoke with one of my customers and he could use a part time person to help do clean-up and miscellaneous jobs around the construction site. Would you like to accept these jobs?”

“Yes ma’am and thank you.” Tears were coming from his eyes.

Now he could catch some of their bills up. The disability checks coming in were barely allowing them to have any money left over for food.

“Don’t thank me, thank Annabelle. She knows your a good person and wanted to help you. Do you know Freddy Graham?”

“Yes ma’am.”

“He’s willing to take you on part time. After you leave here today, go and see him.”

“I will ma’am and thank you.”

“Your welcome. Here is some paperwork I need you to fill out.”

Dawn gives him the paperwork she needed done for his employment.

“Let me know what days Freddy gives you and we’ll work around that.”

“Thank you, Dawn.”

“Your welcome Derick. Go and see Annabelle for your pay for today.”

Derick gets up and heads out the office and over towards Annabelle. He hugs her.

“Thanks Annabelle.”

“You’re welcome Derick.”

Annabelle hands a bank envelope to Derick.

“That’s for today.”

Derick stuffs it in his pocket. He’ll see how much he made after he leaves here.

“I arranged a ride for you with Freddy. Good luck and I’ll see you tomorrow afternoon if you’re available.”

Annabelle watches as Derick leaves the store. She goes back to what she was doing.

Derick stops to see how much Annabelle paid him and was amazed to find two hundred dollars in the envelope. He finds a note among the cash.

“You did a wonderful job today and hope to see the same dedication from you.”

Derick just smile and put the note in his pocket. He was going to frame it when he can.

It’s been two weeks since they hired Derick on part-time and he was working out fine with them and with Freddy. Annabelle looks over towards Dawn as she slept and smiled. She looked so peaceful and beautiful. Annabelle herself was having a hard time sleeping. So, she eases out of bed and grab her house robe and goes to peek in on their girls.

Gina and Cyra shared the same bedroom and of the two, Gina was the more girly. Cyra teased her some about how girly she was, but it was all in fun. Both girls loved wearing their baby doll night gowns to bed and around the house. Gina had a canopy bed, where Cyra had a normal bed with a custom-built headboard for her books and nick knacks she liked collecting when they went horseback riding or hiking. Gina and
Cyra might not have been born together or from the same mother, but they were closer than most siblings.

Annabelle heads towards the kitchen and makes herself some hot coca and head out to the back porch and sit in the swing and stare out into the darkness of their backyard. There was no moon in the sky tonight and she could see the sky filled with stars. She takes a sip of her coca and enjoy its warmth as it travels down her throat and into her stomach. Months ago, when she got caught by her foster mother dressed in her female attire, she would never imagine having a life like she does now. She’s got a beautiful woman she is going to marry in a few weeks and two adorable daughters and a good job.

Her own breast was coming in and her body fat was moving where she needed it to be. She was almost the cup sized she needed to be to maintain her look as Annabelle Lee from the movie. Her hair was styled just like the actress to maintain her look to the actress. She was all legal now. Her name, social security and birth certificate had been changed to her new name. The only thing left to do was to have the operation to fix her birth defect. Dawn had managed to talk her into having sex several times like a normal couple does. She could already tell Dawn was pregnant. She knew when Dawn started and stopped her period ever since they started sleeping together. She had been jealous that she would never experience that experience. Dawn was two weeks late on her period. On top of that, she noticed Dawn’s areolas have started to darken and she has going to the bathroom more. Plus, she notice Dawn was feeling more tired during the day then she normally did.
This baby will be hers and Dawn’s only child. She’ll have to see if there is a way for her to breast feed their child herself.

She already knew Gina was jealous about Cyra getting her first period. Dawn had to explain to Cyra what to do since neither herself or Gina were ever going to experience periods. They did watch, so if there was a problem they would know how to help Cyra out just in case.

Annabelle takes another sip of her coca and just enjoy the peacefulness of her home.

After a while, Annabelle heads back into the kitchen and rinse her coffee mug out and check the girls one last time, before crawling back into bed. Dawn snuggles up to her as Annabelle wraps her arms around her and hold her tight. She closes her eyes and just let Dawn’s warm body put her asleep. Later, she feels the girls crawl into bed with them. Gina crawls next to Dawn and Cyra crawls next to her. The girls normally crawled in bed with them when they couldn’t sleep. Cyra buries her face against Annabelle’s chest and sleeps curled against her.

When morning comes, no one wakes-up early. All four of them sleep in late. The girls wake-up first after a few hours and rush to the bathroom. Dawn is next to follow them and finally Annabelle. They have a simple breakfast of fruit and juice. It’s starts raining outside, so all of them decide to have a movie day and just camp out in the living room.

The girls get Dawn and Annabelle to lay next to them. They have a marathon of Harry Potter movies and a couple of Nicholas Cage movies they had on hand and finally, Dawn grabs the movie Guns, Girls & Gambling.

“Go on Annabelle.” Dawn motions for Annabelle to dress as Annabelle Lee from the movie.

Annabelle heads into their bedroom while the girls were watching the movie and Annabelle waits for the right moment to come out as her name sake. She stands in front of the girls and say the line.

The girls couldn’t believe how Annabelle looked dress as the character from the movie. After the movie is over, Annabelle heads back in the bedroom and change back into her night gown and join the girls. Dawn fixes grilled chicken salad for dinner for everyone. They basically have a nice boring family day. The girls enjoy bonding with Annabelle and Dawn. Dawn’s relatives and Dawn herself petition the council for Annabelle, Gina and Cyra to become members of the tribe. Gina already had her tribal given to her. Now, they just had to find Cyra’s tribal name.

Instead of sleeping in their bed, Gina crawls up with Dawn on the sofa and Cyra curls up with Annabelle on the floor on top of two sleeping bags they put together.

Sunday morning, Annabelle and Cyra wake-up first and makes waffles and pancakes for everyone. Sunday is another lazy day and any homework or school work that hasn’t been completed is done and checked by Annabelle and Dawn. The girls had all their homework done and had their stuff ready for school. They have another movie marathon and a simple dinner for the day.

Monday morning, all four women don’t want to get out of bed, especially Dawn. Annabelle lets her sleep for a little while longer while she smiles and takes her shower. If Dawn hasn’t figured it out yet, she soon will. While Dawn drags herself into the bathroom and into the shower. Annabelle gets dress and gives the girls their lunch and snack money. They drop the girls at school, before heading to the store to open up. Sam and Derick were already there waiting on them.

“Morning fellows” Annabelle knew Sam was covering for their full time morning person.

Dawn wanted to make Annabelle the assistant manager, but Annabelle thought someone else might be better and recommended Sam for the position.

“Annabelle, can you cover the register please?”

“Sure.” Annabelle stops what she was doing and walks around to the register to cover for Dawn.

Dawn looks towards Sam “Sam can you come to the office please?”

Sam was putting up a few cases of merchandise they had gotten in.

“Sure” Sam follows behind Dawn as she heads into the office.

Sam was wondering why Dawn wanted to talk with him. He’s been doing more than most of the people working in the store.

“Close the door please, Sam.” Dawn heads over towards her desk and pulls Sam’s employee records.

Sam walks over and closes the office door and takes a seat in front of the desk.

“Sam, you have been a valuable asset since I hired you. You have taken Derick under your wing and trained him well. You have been polite to those contractors that turned you down for employment because of your record. You have impress me and Annabelle a lot. So, I was wondering if you would like to take on some more responsibility around the store?”

Sam was confused about where Dawn was heading with her speech and now she was asking if he wouldn’t mind taking on a little bit more responsibility.

“Sure, I don’t mind. What else would you like for me to do around here?”

“Would you mind being my assistant manager?” Dawn had a serious look on her face whens he looked at him.

“I thought Annabelle was your assistant manager?” Sam was a little confused.

“She has various duties around here that she does. She’s more like my helper. Plus, we talked about it and felt you do so much for this store, that you deserve the position.”

“I would love to be your assistant. Also, thank you for everything you have done for me. You gave me a chance when no one else would.”

“Your welcome and it was their lost. You are a hard worker and I have had nothing, but praised about you from our contractors and from our customers. A few contractors have said that they should had hired you when you applied with them. They feel stupid for what they did.”

Sam just smiled at that statement. He wanted to comment on it, but wouldn’t in front of Dawn.

“So, you don’t get burned out of closing every day. Annabelle has offered to come in the evening to close, so you can come in during the morning and work with me. Which, means you will work the mornings with me four days a week and close three days a week. Sunday’s will be alternated with Annabelle and me so you can have them off as well.”

“You don’t need to do that Dawn, I like working Sundays. It’s only half a day any way.”

“Are you sure Sam?”

“Yes ma’am I’m sure. Just let me work half a day every other Friday.”

“Okay, I think I can arrange that. Here are your keys and I’ll have you added to the security list by the end of the day.”

“Thank you, Dawn.”

“Oh, there one more thing. It comes with a pay raise as well. Your pay raise will appear on next weeks check.”

“Okay.” Sam was happy. He gets up and head out of the office.

Dawn watches as Sam leaves her office. She makes a few notes and calls the security company to have Same added to opening and closing of the store. She did offer the position to Annabelle, but Annabelle didn’t think it was fair to people who had been here for awhile. Even though Sam was still fairly new. He was one of her hardest working employee’s.

Annabelle watches as Sam comes out of Dawn’s office with a proud look on his face. He glances at her and a big ole’ smile appears.

“So, Mr. Assistant Manager. Are you ready to learn a few things?”

He just laughs and walks over towards Annabelle.

“Watch you got for me Annabelle.”

“Its easy.”

Annabelle starts showing Sam a few things that Dawn gave her access to, that was normally reserve for the managers. Most of the morning
she goes over paperwork and procedures Sam had seen her do or Dawn do.

Dawn rushes to the bathroom as soon as they walk into the store. Annabelle had an amusing smile on her face as she goes about opening the store. She knew Dawn was pregnant and the doctor appointment they had two days ago had proven her right. Dawn was six weeks pregnant and had morning sickness. Annabelle grabs a ginger ale out of the soda cooler and rings it up on the cash register. She pulls two dollars out of her pants pocket and pays for the soda. She knew Dawn would want it when she got back from puking.

Sam had called her last night to informed her a custom door order was coming this morning. The customer had paid the money to have the doors shipped overnight from Montana. Annabelle logs onto the shippers’ website to check the progress of the order and notice it was out for delivery this morning. Annabelle checks the deposit from last night and the records and everything looked good.

Annabelle starts making coffee as Dawn comes out of her office.

“It’s on the counter.” Annabelle had an I told you so smile plastered on her face.

Dawn grabs the ginger ale and takes swig of her ginger ale as Annabelle prepares her coffee cup.

“You don’t need to look so pleased. It’s your fault.”

“I never forced you to do anything. You did it all on your own. I just followed your lead.”

Annabelle just smiles as she pours the coffee into her cup. Doctor Kilpatrick had informed Dawn she couldn’t have any caffeine or alcohol along with a list of items she needed to start doing. Annabelle made sure she was taking her prenatal vitamins for the baby.

Dawn just heads into her office and let Annabelle run the front of the store.

Annabelle just smile as she goes about checking the shelves and helping customers that came in. No customers were in the store and Dawn was still in the office. Annabelle figures she’ll kill some time dusting some of the top shelves of their merchandise.

Zachary was high as a kite when he walked into the hardware store. His girlfriend has been nagging him to fix things around their place. Just before he left the house, he had snorted some cocaine to help his temper and give him a buzz. He looks around the hardware store and notice the cute blonde on a step-ladder. He stares at her cute ass as he moves around the store.

Annabelle had heard the bell over the door ring when someone came in. She had glanced over to see who it was and notice it was the guy she had gone to school.

“Can I help you find anything?” Annabelle kept watching him as he walked down an aisle.

“No, I’m fine.”

“Okay, let me know if you need help.” Annabelle noticed that Zachary had slurred his words.

Annabelle goes back to want she was doing, not paying Zachary any mind. Recently they had upgrade the security of their products by adding security tags. So, if someone tries to leave the store an alarm will ring.

After ten minutes, Annabelle feels some one’s hands squeezing her ass. She turns around and right in front of her is Zachary with hands still in the air.

“Please keep your hands to yourself, Zachary.”

“Oh, come on baby. You know you were enjoying it.” He steps up on the step ladder Annabelle was on.

“Zachary, I’m warning you. If don’t stop harassing me. I’m going to call the police.” Annabelle pulls her cellphone out of her back pocket.

Zachary lunges forward and pins Annabelle against the metal steps, which dug into her back.

“GET OFF ME!” Annabelle was trying to get her legs under Zachary.

He had her arms pinned by her side and was laying on her legs pinning them against the metal steps.

Zachary presses himself against her and starts trying to kiss.

Annabelle tries headbutting him, but that was a mistake, because his head was harder than hers. When her head came back from hitting his.
She knocks her head against the edge of the top steps.

“HELP!”

Derick had just walked into the store to tell Dawn he would be free to work this weekend, when he hears Annabelle call for help. He looks over where her voice came from and notices a guy forcing himself on her. He had her pinned on her back on the wheeled step-ladder. Just as he was moving to help Annabelle. He spots Dawn coming out of the office.

Dawn was working on bills and the new work schedule when she heard Annabelle scream for help. She had opened the office door and saw
Derick racing over to help Annabelle. There was some guy pinning Annabelle to the step-ladder on her back.

Derick grabs the guy from on top of Annabelle and tosses him backwards towards the counter. He moves so he is between Annabelle and Zachary.

Zachary grind his hips against Annabelle’s body. He was still trying to kiss him. The next thing he knew, he was flying backwards off Annabelle and hitting his back against the front counter. As he snares as he looks towards a well-built young man standing between him and Annabelle.

He lunges towards Derick.

Derick grabs him in a headlock and then puts Zachary into a full nelson hold. Derick had done some wrestling when he went school with his friends, but never got a chance to wrestle for the school.

Dawn was calling the police and the paramedics to come to the store. She watched as Derick held Zachary in a full nelson. He had developed some muscles since working for Freddy.

Annabelle tries to sit-up, put falls backward against the steps. She had hit her head against the edge of the metal steps hard after she tried to butt heads with Zachary.

Zachary kept trying to escape Derick’s full nelson, but he couldn’t overpower the young man. After five minutes, the police show up and take control of Zachary. They had to put their cuffs on with Derrick’s help. The paramedics check Annabelle’s head and told her she was going to need a few stitches to close the gash she had.

“I’ll call Sam and have him come up to the store.” Dawn starts dialing Sam’s number after giving her statement.

Derick walks with Annabelle out to the ambulance.

Annabelle looks at him “my hero.”

“No, your mine Annabelle. You believed in me. I owe you for that.” He places a kiss on her cheek.

Annabelle squeezes his hand as the paramedics put her in the ambulance.

Derick walks back into the store and uses the store phone to call Freddy and tell him he can’t come because of what happened today. Freddy tells him that it was alright and will see him tomorrow.

“Dawn, I’m clocking in to cover Annabelle’s shift.”

“You don’t have too Derick, Sam’s coming.”

“I know, but you’ll be leaving to get Annabelle and Sam will be here by himself, till Noah comes in at one o’clock. I already called Freddy and told him I’ll be helping you after what happened.” He had a smile on his face as he looks at Dawn.

“Annabelle was right about you. Alright, go ahead and clock-in and work Annabelle’s shift. Here, lunch is on the shop today for you.”

Dawn walks over and hands him a twenty and gives him a hug as well.

“Thank you, Derick.”

“I couldn’t let my guardian Angel get hurt.”

Derick hugs Dawn back and goes in the back of the store to get the cleaning supplies to clean up the mess from the fight and some of the blood that had dripped from Annabelle's head.

Once Sam shows up. Dawn pulls him aside and tells him that if Derick wants anything, to let him have it.

Sam just smiles and nods his head to her request. Dawn had informed him what happened when she called him in. He watches as she runs out to the SUV and head towards the hospital.

Annabelle washes her hair carefully. The hospital had to put eight stitches in to close the gash she got from hitting her head against the metal step. She couldn’t believe that Zachary had tried to rape her right there in the store. She shivers as she wraps her arms around her body. If Derick hadn’t shown up when he did, she might have been in some serious trouble. She shivers as the water continues hitting her body.

After ten minutes, she felt the temperature of the water start to change. She pulls herself together and exit the shower. She dries her hair carefully and slip on some baby powder and her pink night shirt with Lola bunny on it with her saying “That was the nicest thing anyone's ever done for me.”

Annabelle goes to say good night to the girls. As she walks into the girl’s bedroom. She notices they were still up waiting for her.

“How are you feeling mom?” Gina was worried about her mother.

Dawn had told the girls what had happened today at the store. Gina and Cyra were concerned and wanted to see for themselves that their mother was doing alright.

“I’m doing fine girls. I’ve been through worst then this.” Annabelle sits on the edge of Gina’s bed and tuck her in.

She places a kiss on her forehead “now go to sleep, you little monkey.”

“Yes Ma’am.” Gina smiles up at her mother and watches as Annabelle walks over to her sister.

Annabelle tucks Cyra in and kisses her forehead “sweet dreams, little monkey.”

Annabelle tucks Cyra and stops in the doorway looking at both girls. She never thought she would be a mother. In five months, they are going to have a third child that was a combination of her and Dawn. She walks down the hallway towards her and dawn’s bedroom and just stand at the doorway staring at Dawn as she changes out of her work clothes.

“Oh, slowly, slowly! It's too nice a job to rush.” Annabelle had a smile on her face as Dawn looks up at her voice.

“Quoting Rocky Horror now?” Dawn slowly slide her panties down her legs for Annabelle.

“I couldn’t help it. I love watching you undress. Plus, I like seeing our baby make you a little bigger each day.” Annabelle walks over and caresses Dawn’s belly.

“I’m not showing that much, Annabelle.” She places her hand on top of Annabelle’s.

“I know, I just like the idea of you carrying our child.” Annabelle wraps her arms around Dawn and pull her naked body against hers.

Annabelle releases Dawn so she can go and take a shower.

Dawn caresses Annabelle’s right cheek “I’ll be right back.”

Dawn turns and heads towards the bathroom to her shower and do her business. She puts a little sexy wiggle to her walk to tease Annabella.
She stops and shyly look over her shoulder.

“There’s more to come tonight, if you’re good.” She winks at Annabelle, before disappearing into the bathroom.

Annabelle slaps her hands together “oh, momma is going to get some tonight.”

She walks over to the dresser and pop two pain pills into her mouth. Annabelle looks at herself in the huge mirror mounted on the back of the dresser and just stare at her reflection. This time last year, she couldn’t express how she felt. Now, not only was she full time, but a mother and a wife to be. She heads towards the bed and laid down. She was going to wait for Dawn to get done in the shower. She was going to have her wicked way with Dawn tonight. She closes her eyes and drift off to sleep.

Dawn comes walking out of the bathroom and notices that Annabelle was sounds asleep in bed. She spots the pain killers that Annabelle was given and smile. They must have been stronger then she thought. She crawls into bed next to Annabelle and wrap her arms around her.

Annabelle snuggles close to Dawn, burying her face against Dawn’s shoulder.

Sometime during the night, the girls come in and crawls in between Dawn and Annabelle. Gina curls up next to dawn, while Cyra curls up to Annabelle.

Both women hold each girl as they slept. It wasn’t uncommon for the girls to curl into bed with Annabelle and Dawn. Neither one of them cared if the girls slept with them.

The next morning, Dawn was the first one awake and a smile appears on her face. She glances over towards Annabelle and both girls were asleep next to her with Cyra on the left-hand side of Annabelle and Gina snuggled closed to her on the right-hand side. Annabelle had her arms wrapped around each girl. Dawn slips out of bed and takes a picture of Annabelle and the girls.

She was going to have to print this one out and put it on their wall. There was one already of her with the girls curled up next to her and a few of Annabelle, but none like this one. Dawn review the image and smile. Soon, they will have another child to add to their family.

Dawn puts the camera down and head into the kitchen, after grabbing her robe to start breakfast for her sleepy heads. The girls had riding lessons later and while they were doing that. Her and Annabelle was going to do some shopping for the baby’s room.

Gina and Cyra come walking into the kitchen, once they smell bacon cooking.

“Morning munchies. Where’s your other mother at?” Dawn scoops up some bacon and lay it on the plate with the others.

“She had to go to the bathroom.” Gina grabs a slice of bacon and start munching on it. Cyra follows her sister and does the same thing.

“Hey, you two. I’m the only one allowed to do that.” Annabelle walks in and ruffles both girl’s hair.

Gina and Cyra just smirk as they start filling their plates from the food already set on the table.

Annabelle brings the rest of the food to the table and sit down with Dawn. For the next hour and half, they have breakfast and then the girls get ready for their horseback lessons, while Annabelle puts the breakfast left over in the refrigerator.

They drop the girls off for their lessons. Dawn and Annabelle head off to do some shopping for the baby’s room.

Annabelle stood before the full-length mirror and admire herself in her wedding gown. The day her and Dawn had set aside to get married had arrived. All of Dawn’s relatives had arrived for their marriage. Some of their favorite customers and friends that they had invited had shown up.
Derick was dating a nice girl he had meet online. She was the daughter of one of their customers. She knew about him and heard what he had done for her. She knew Derick liked this girl.

“Are you nervous, mommy?” Gina had come to check on her mother. Her sister was checking on their other mother.

Annabelle turns around to look at her daughter. She couldn’t but help to smile as she looked at Gina all dressed up. She was wearing the dress Dawn and she had picked for their daughters to wear.

“Yes, I’m very nervous, but not as nervous as I was when you came into my life.” Annabelle hugs her daughter.

Gina hugs her mother and tries not to hug her to tightly. She was happy that she had two mothers that loved her very much. Gina has come to think of Annabelle as her birth mother.

“How’s your sister holding up?” Annabelle releases her daughter and looks down into her face.

“She’s excited and can’t wait for the wedding to start.” Gina and her sister Cyra had helped their grandparents and Dancing Deer decorate the area of the yard they were holding the wedding.

“Well you two did a beautiful job decorating the yard. Go ahead and go and take your place sweetie.” Annabelle kisses her cheek gently and watches as her daughter head down stairs to join her sister.

She heads downstairs and out the back door to join her wife. Dawn’s Uncle was walking her down the aisle and Sam was walking her down the aisle. Gina and Cyra proceeded them dropping flower petals as they walked towards the front. Once they stood before the preacher, who happened to be a council member and was willing to perform the wedding for them.

Each of them had written their own wedding vows and Dawn said hers first to Annabelle before everyone and by the time she got to the end of her vows, tears were streaming down her cheeks.

Annabelle looked directly into Dawn’s eyes and said her vows. She got choked up halfway through them.

Gina got up and grabbed her mother’s hand and held it. Cyra grabbed Dawn’s hand and Annabelle could finish her vows with their daughters help. Each girl stayed by their mothers as the preacher pronounce them wife and wife. The girls released their mother’s hands, so they could kiss.

There was a lot of noise coming from the backyard as music played. Certain people congratulated the married couple and wonder what took them so long to tie the knot?

Dawn and Annabelle let the girls have one glass of champagne each. They party late into the night and by the time reception broke-up. Both girls were tired, but didn’t want to go to bed. Annabelle and dawn both tucked their daughters in and gave them a kiss on their forehead.

Annabelle and Dawn didn’t get much sleep as both ladies pleased each other. By the time they did manage to fall asleep. Dawn was spooned against Annabelle and held her tight.

A few months later:
Dawn and Annabelle found out that Dawn was carrying twin girls. Annabelle had gone to Canada and had her surgery, but not before preserving some of her semen. This way if Dawn wanted more kids. They would have her semen to make Dawn pregnant.

Annabelle was still recovering from her surgery and Dancing Deer was helping around the house. The girls were thrilled that they were going to have baby sisters. Annabelle promised Gina that as soon as she was old enough to have the surgery they would get it for her.

Sam had found a nice lady that worked at City Hall in the Mayor’s office. He loved his new position and ran the store during the week while Annabelle and Dawn had gone to Canada with the girls. He knew why they went, but didn’t care. He knew Annabelle was a nice caring person and if he had her body, he would want to be whole as well.

They did find a doctor that would tuck Gina till she was old enough to have the surgery. This way she could pass as a girl better.

Annabelle had informed her doctor that she wanted to help Dawn breast feed the twins when they were born. He increase her medication. He gave her additional medicine to take so she could prepare her body to produce her own breast milk for the twins.

He knew how much Annabelle cared for Dawn and being a mother. Every time there was a field trip or an event asking for parents to help out. Annabelle always volunteer. Dawn did too, but she needed to stay and run the store, where Annabelle could take the time off to help out.

Dawn had been in labor for twelve hours before the babies decided they wanted to join everyone. The girls were excited that their little sisters had been born. They name one girl Bella Lee Running Rabbit, the other twin was named Della Elizabeth Running Rabbit.
