for Evie

[call_me_snake]

From here

Snake got into the hummer waiting for Evie. He had the perfect place, the Firebird. It was owned by a friend and it would be private wich Snake was going to need if she wanted the truth.

She walked in with him and then looked around for a moment, taking things in, but that was evie.

"so? gonna tell me the truth?"

Snake nodded to the waiter as they followed him to one of the bac booths. Think I need a drink first.

[spider-on-acid.livejournal.com]

Alright..Pepsi with lemon for me please...and um. the biggest pasta bowl thing you got with alfredo sauce and LOTs of garlic bread.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_call_me_snake_/]

Snake chuckled at the order. Lsagna and whiskey, the whole damned bottle.

SNake looked down at the table when the waiter left. he didn't really want to talk but now he had to. Sorry about getting shitty bac there baby. I really am happy for you even if it don't seem like it now.

She leaned back and paused a moment, thinking over her retort before going any further.

"I figured you've either had a bad day with the kids, or you're hiding something. So, it's alright. I'll forgive you this time. Be lucky my current state makes me more negotiable...

[http://users.livejournal.com/_call_me_snake_/]

Snake looked up at her with a look that said he was in no mood to joke. His whiskey came and he took a drink before he started to talk.

Could say both.

[spider-on-acid.livejournal.com]

"okay so what's exactly going on?"

She tilted her head.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_call_me_snake_/]

Snake stared at his glass. I got a hold of some of my military records. Got to read about the shit I was exposed to during the war.

Snake paused and took a drink before looking up at her. The hurt was in his expression again. I probably can't ever have kids. Bunch of the shit I got exposed to fucks a man up at half the dose I would've got.

It was out and Snake sighed heavily. Something about him didn't look so strong or confident.

[spider-on-acid.livejournal.com]

This was the first time that she'd ever seen Snake vulvernable and she frowned and then moved form her side of the booth to his and wrapped her arm around him.

"i'm sorry papa...but you and yer wife can adopt kids....i mean you kind of already have but i was adopted solely by you..but yeah..i mean, so what if you can't actually have kids? a lot of people can't...."

[http://users.livejournal.com/_call_me_snake_/]

If I still got a wife. She's having a hard time about it and can't understand why It's fucked me up so much. Suppose having a kid of her own already it's easier on her. Snake leaned toward her and shrugged. Only a few things I ever wanted. Seems like the government's managed to take just about all of them.

[spider-on-acid.livejournal.com]

"yeah well, you've never let them keep you down before. SHe's having a hard time? Is she even thinking about you?"

Evie frowned..this woman had some nerve in her opinion.

"I'm there for you. Me and Mason. If Mason and I talk, and we decide we can't...you know raise the kid...I want to give it to you. I've already been thinking about it as a option. So yeah..."

She cleared her throat then.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_call_me_snake_/]

I don't know. She was talking all this bullshit about how she was insulted and embarassed that she might not be able to have my kid. Here I'm the one fucked and she's talking like it's her body broken.

Snake finished off his drink and poured another. To top it off she doesn't want to talk about it and don't want me talking to anyone about it then people wonder why I lose my shit. Feeling like a champagne bottle lately.

Snake smiled slightly. Flattered, but I really think the kid should be with thier parents. There are other ways I can help.

[spider-on-acid.livejournal.com]

"no offense papa bear, but um...its not like her tubes aren't the ones laying eggs ya know? She should be more sensitive. I mean, you hear guys say how over dramatic we are, and her eshe is being a insensitive...."

She paused...leave the bitch part out..

"woman..Are you going to get in trouble for telling me? I mean. god. I can't believe she's being such a fucking bitch about this.."

She covered her mouth and winced.

"i'm sorry..i didn't mean to call her a bitch...i'm sorry...."

She sighed.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_call_me_snake_/]

Snake shook his head. I more or less told her that and she made some comment about despising me.

Snake looked over at Evie and smiled. No because I trust you enough to keep this where it belongs.

No need to be sorry baby. Sometimes I feel like saying the same thing but don't. I can't because I believe she's got the right to her opinions even if i think they're bullshit. Snake started playing with his wedding band. I don't break vows to anyone, especially not her.

[spider-on-acid.livejournal.com]

"well if you broke your vows to her. I think I'd try to kick your ass. And I've never met the woman. Anyway. I won't tell anyone bout this. my lips are sealed as tight as a clam. You know we hate to give up those perty lil pearls in our shells. "

She thought a moment.

"Um, I'm gonna tell Mason tonight..and if all goes well..I was wondering if you'd like to go house hunting and maybe...nursery shopping. If you don't it's cool. Just figured I'd ask.."

[http://users.livejournal.com/_call_me_snake_/]

Do you think I'm the kind of man that would? Snake smiled finally. It was nce to have another person to talk to, even if it was just saying it and nothing more.


Even if it don't go well I expect to see you. Snake put his arm around her and gave her a bit of a hug. Whenever you want to go. Though I warn you we better take the Hummer. I got it in my mind to spendsome money.

[spider-on-acid.livejournal.com]

She laughed and then shook her head.

"With you papi? Who knows. No one can truely know what anothers capable of."

She grinned and then tilted her head.

"Spending a lot of money? What are you gonna buy me the whole damn baby place I plan on going to?"

She smirked.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_call_me_snake_/]

Man's capable of a lot but no matter what I become I still believe in honor and valor. That'll never change.

Snake chuckled.

Maybe. Would that be a bad thing?

[spider-on-acid.livejournal.com]

She smirked slightly.

"naw, not a bad thing at all..."

THe food came, she eyed it and without a minute more of hesitation she started grubbing into it.

"Well first I need to find a decently priced house. I mean, it don't gotta be fancy, but it's gotta be decent..."

[http://users.livejournal.com/_call_me_snake_/]

Snake smiled feeling a lot better. He ate slowly because he wasn't all that hungry.

Decently priced? Seen some nice ones in Brooklyn, 240 so thousand.

[spider-on-acid.livejournal.com]

She almost choked but didn't.

"Maybe..less then that...money doesn't grow on trees...."

She laughed and then slowed down. It was the initial thing of food being put in front of her. And she gave a lopsided grin.

"IF I get married, you'll give me away right?"

[http://users.livejournal.com/_call_me_snake_/]

No, it grows in banks. Snake started to laugh but her question made him get a bit more serious.

Of course I will. I'd hate to have to kick the ass of some other bastard trying to give my girl away.

[spider-on-acid.livejournal.com]

She laughed and then covered her mouth and then looked around. Christ she must seem like such a kid. She grinned then looking over at him.

"Good, cause well, Mason, knowing him, will want to do the right thing. And I think the way he was brought up that if you knock up a girl, you get hitched. So who knows "

She shrugged.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_call_me_snake_/]

Snake smiled. If either of you need anything, you better let me know.

Snake dug in his coat pcoket and pulled out a stack of hundreds still in the bank wrapper. Snake put them in front of Evie and grinned.

Appears money grows in my pocket, so I don't worry too much.

[spider-on-acid.livejournal.com]

"Yeah well Mason proposed like last month but I said no. "

She gave a shrug of her shoulders.

"and the nerve he had? He wouldn't even let me keep the damn ring. I mean how...stupid is that? He bought it for ME I should have been able to keep it. Pfft. "

She looked at the money and blinked picking it up.

"ya know do I have a mob daddy? And does that make me a mob princess?"
