Secrets 2

The next morning, after getting all the teens out of the apartment and off to school. Ryo and Dee got themselves ready for work, Ryo called Ms. O'conner.
"Hello Ms. O'conner Ryo Macclean my fiance and myself were the ones interested in that house you showed us last week."
"Yes of course Mr. Macclean I have the paperwork ready for you to sign. I can come over later this evening to give it to you, You should be able to move into that house by the end of this month."
"Thank you Ms. O'conner we look forward to your visit this evening."
After ending the call Ryo looked at the clock. "Come on Dee lets go, I'll just have to call my grandmother later. We're going to be late and I'm not in the mood to be lectured by either Chief or Berkley."

"Ryo, Dee... Clark's ex-wife is here Berkley wants you to talk to her." Drake said as they walked through the door.
Ryo and Dee headed up to there office, where Clark's ex-wife sat waiting for them. "Mr. Macclean, Mr. Laytner I am Anna Ferris, Ben's ex."
"Mrs. Ferris..."
"That's Ms. Ferris, after I divorced my husband I went back to my maiden name.
"Ms. Ferris you divorced your husband for what purpose?"
"Ben was a control freak Mr. Macclean I got tired of being nothing but some servent to him. Back during the women's right movement in the sixties I wanted to go but I was stuck with Ben watching my every move. Not to mention I had three boys to take care of. I had finally had enough of Ben's overbearing nature so I divorced him in the late seventies."
"How did Ben handle the divorce?"
"Luckily all our boys were grown up by then so there was no need for custody over them. Ben well did not take the divorce to well I heard he took it out on his students. I even heard a rumor that he sexually abused one of the teens on one of the sports team."
"Do you believe that Ms. Ferris?" Dee asked.
"I wouldn't hold it against him. Ben was that type of man took what he wanted from people without question."
"How did your sons handle the divorce?"
"Surprisingly very well, but then again all my sons were grown by the time I divorced that asshole. My youngest son Elliot was eighteen just about to graduate and go off to college like his other brothers when I divorced Ben."
"Do you know of anyone that might have wanted your ex dead?" Dee asked.
"Lot's of people. Elliot was not a big fan of his father, that boy was sexually abused by him I don't know the boy's name, drug dealers."
"Drug dealers?"
"Yea my ex was into heavy drugs."
"And he was a teacher?"
"People didn't care much back then Mr. Macclean."
Ms. Ferris noticed something different about one of the cops she was talking to. He looked unusal with a large belly, and...were those breast? "Is something wrong Ms. Ferris?" Ryo asked at her blank expression.
"Um...is there something wrong with your partner?"
Dee understood the meaning behind the question and quickly felt uncomfortable all of a sudden. "My partner is pregnant."
"Pregnant? Men can get pregnant? When did this happen?"
Ryo looked over to Dee who looked just as confused as he was. "They did an experiment on it in the late fifties, and it turns out the children from the fathers who gave birth can also bare children as well." Ryo said.
"You don't say. Well this shows how much I know especially when your husband is a control freak not to mention the fact that people didn't talk about it. So naturally I wouldn't hear about it. Well I should probably be going now I hope I was of some help."
"Well now what are we suppose to do?" Dee asked after she left.
"I am going to make a quick phone call to my grandmother real quick."
Ryo picked up the phone and began to dial his grandmother's number.

Grandmother Ethel answered the phone. "Hello?"
"Hi grandma its me Randy I heard you called."
"Oh Ryo how are you I haven't heard much from either you or Dee in a long time how are things?"
"Good. We'll be getting a bigger place soon so we'll have room for the twins and baby things."
"So what are you two having?"
"Well one of the twins is a boy the doctor couldn't figure out what the other one is since it moved around too much."
"I see and how are the wedding plans coming along?"
"Well uh we haven't gotten that far yet."
"Randy..."
"Uh....would you like to talk to Dee he's right here?"
"Sure maybe I can get a decent answer out of him."
Ryo handed the phone over to Dee. "Hello Mrs. Macclean."
"Dee didn't I tell you to call me grandma?"
"Uh yea sorry grandma."
"That's quite alright dear, so how are you doing carring that heavy load around?"
"Alright I suppose I can't wait until they're born so they'll stop pushing on my bladder."
Mrs. Macclean laughed. "Yes that was always an annoying thing not to mention the cramps and the cravings. Have you had any cravings recently Dee?"
"No not really but thinking about food now makes me want some apple pie or something. Maybe some chocolate pudding too."
"Just be sure to go easy on those fatty foods Dee it will just make it harder to get rid of it once the twins are born."
"Don't worry I'll be sure to go easy on the junk food."
"Good, so your wedding how is that coming along?"
"Well I uh..."
"Have you even thought about where you'd like to have it?"
"Well if possible I would like an outdoor wedding if the weather is good."
"I see well I'm sure that can be arrange Dee. You two are going no where fast, obviously your not in too big of a hurry to get married."
"Well one thing at a time grandma we more or less just got ourselves a nice house to raise the twins in."
"Yes so I heard. Any plans on where you'd like to have your honeymoon? I of course will pay for it along with helping out with the wedding."
"Uh...not really. I did enjoy the weekend at the cabin."
"Cabin? Did Randy take you out there for the weekend?"
"Yes it was lovely."
"Well, you talk it over with Randy on where you'd like to have your honeymoon, so I can make arrangements."
"I'll be sure to do that grandma."
"Oh one more thing Dee when are the twins due?"
"June 1st."
"alright be expecting a baby shower from me within the next month or so. Don't forget to think about names for those two."
"Yes grandma will do. Goodbye grandma."

When Dee hung up he noticed Ryo wasn't in the room anymore. Dee let a small frown show on his face as he sat at his desk and looking over paperwork. The door to the office opened and in walked Ryo with a piece of apple pie and a pack of chocolate pudding.
"Where did you get that?" Dee asked.
"Why you were on the phone I decided to make a quick trip down town I know my grandmother well enough she can talk for hours. I had plenty of time."
"Your sweet Ryo but really just because it sounded good doesn't mean I should have it."
Ryo only smiled as he set the food in front of him as he went back to his desk. Dee sat and stared at the pie as he slowly brought it closer to him he picked up the fork and slowly began to eat it. He saw Ryo smile out of the corner of his eye as he ate.
