I'd like to note that I do not own ABC's One Life to Live or the characters and I will NOT be receiving any payment whatsoever for writing this story. It is intended for entertainment purposes only. This story takes place during the 'two Todds' storyline. Irene has just shown up at Vicki's to shed some light on who is THE Todd. Meanwhile, Blair and Tea compare notes about the two men. ~*Manning Residence*~ Nervously, Tea paced the livingroom as she waited on word from her husband regarding the ongoing debate on who in fact was the actual Todd Manning. Was Todd the man with the scar or was he the man Tea had married? Deep in her heart, Tea felt she already knew the truth. The man she had married had been acting strangely as though perhaps he had something to hide. As much as Tea kept telling herself that her husband WAS Todd Manning, a nagging sensation deep inside alerted her that all she had known may come crashing down around her. Just then Tea heard knocking upon the front door. She walked into the foyer and pulled the door open to see Blair standing there. "Hey, what are you doing here?" she asked her beautiful, blond frenemy. Over the past three years, she and Blair had come to a comfortable understanding, no longer at each other's throats and competing for Todd's affections. "I heard that John McBain is getting closer to revealing information on which man is really Todd," replied Blair as she came into the house. "I need to talk to you, Tea." "About what?" Tea questioned, frowning slightly as she looked at Blair. "Come on... Let's go in the living room and talk," Blair coaxed after closing the door and taking Tea's arm to lead over toward the couch. Tea took a seat on the sofa, but Blair stood there as though poised to speak but not saying a word. "Okay, you got me in here... What is it?" Tea demanded. "It's about Todd..." Blair began quietly. "Wh-what about Todd?" Tea asked, her voice trembling a little as she pushed the words past her lips. Those nagging doubts assaulted her as some unknown intuition seemed to be telling her that the man she had been sleeping with the past three years wasn't really THE Todd Manning. "I kissed him." "You kissed him?" Tea repeated. "Which one did you kiss?" "Well, at the premiere of Vickerman, the man with the scar kissed me..." "Ohhh really? And did you suddenly come to the conclusion from that kiss that he was the REAL Todd?" Tea asked. "Yes... No... Maybe. I just don't know," Blair admitted. "But damn...that man is soooo hot... and his kiss..." "So, he got you all hot and bothered, huh?" Tea wanted to know, crossing her arms across her chest. "I can't believe you, Blair. I thought you were SEEING my brother." "I am seeing your brother. But I had to know if that man is the father of my children. I wanted to see if I got that same wild thrill I always got from Todd's kiss," Blair explained. "You must admit, Tea, there is a difference between the two men..." "In bed?" "Yes, in bed. When Todd and I got together, he had intimacy issues. He had trouble getting close to anyone..." "Because of the rape," Tea finished for her. "But this man, my husband, he never gets enough. He has no trouble in the bedroom department. We did it against the wall, on a table in the courtroom..." "La-la-la. Too many colors!" Blair said in a sing-song voice, thinking Tea was giving her way too much information. "Stop it, Tea! I don't want to hear the intimate details of your kinky sex-life with Todd... if he's really Todd, because I just don't know... " "When I kissed him, too, I honestly wasn't sure," Blair admitted. "What?" Tea gasped, suddenly rising to her feet and glaring at Blair. "You kissed him? When did you kiss MY husband?" "Well, just a few hours ago. I needed to see if I felt something from that kiss..." Tea's cheeks were flaming. She just couldn't believe what she was hearing. Blair had put her lips all over HER husband. Tea was furious. "Why you little... SLUT!" Tea hissed, picking the nearest knicknack up from the coffee table and throwing it across the room with viscious fury. The expensive trinket shattered into a million shards as Blair's eyes became huge pools of astonishment. "Ohhh come on, Tea. It was just a kiss. It's not like I haven't kissed him before!" Blair pointed out, as Tea ran around the room like a mad woman, knocking valuable knicknacks haphazardly from endtables. "You keep your lips off MY husband!" Tea screeched. "Why do you always have your claws into another woman's man?" "Why couldn't you have been satisfied with Tomas? Or the guy with the scar?" Tea cried out. "Why did you want MY man? Todd loves ME, Blair. I am the Love of His Life!" "I don't want Todd," Blair denied. "I'm done with him; I'd done with ALL Todds. Been there, done that, and I'm not going back." "And as for Tomas, I don't think that's gonna work. All he's done is lie to me from Day One. I don't want him either..." "Get out! Get out of my house!" Tea was screaming, her voice on the edge of hysteria as she was practically chasing Blair from the living room. "Alright, alright... I'm going," Blair said with a heavy sigh, making her way toward the door. "But damnit, Tea. You have to face it. The man you love, the man you have been sleeping with all this time, he may not be Todd Manning." Tea was only two steps behind Blair, her heart racing in her chest as angry tears stung at her eyes. She suddenly realized her jealousy was only part of her outburst, because above all fear and anguish outweighed any other emotion. She suddenly reached out, grabbing onto Blair, ripping Blair's black silk blouse in the process. "Get back here! Don't go!" she said in a half sob. "Tea, what the hell are you doing?" Blair cried out, seeing her blouse now in shreds and a great deal of her beautiful breasts exposed by the gaping material. "Blair, don't go," Tea said softly as tears shimmered in her eyes. "Please..." Blair turned, sighing softly as she saw Tea's unshed tears. She reached for Tea and pulled her in close, wrapping her arms around her. "Hey, don't cry. I'm sorry I kissed ... your husband... whoever he is..." Blair spoke as she held Tea close. "That's just it, Blair," Tea said sorrowfully. "I don't know who he is, but something tells me he isn't Todd. I don't even know the man I married..." Tea's tears fell on Blair's chest as Blair held her close in comfort. Somehow the two of them ended up on the wooden bench in the foyer and Tea was in Blair's arms. All the fight had gone out of Tea, as though she needed nothing more at that point than Blair's gentle embrace and the security it provided. "Tea, no matter what happens, you don't need Todd, whoever Todd ends up to be. You are a strong woman. You've been through hell and back with that man, just as I have. You don't need either one of them," spoke Blair as she ran tender caresses through Tea's dark hair. There was a sheer instant where Tea felt an emotion akin to embarrassment considering she was crying in Blair's embrace, but when her eyes met Blair's, all of it disappeared. Blair was looking at Tea with so much tenderness and admiration that it was swept away, leaving Tea with another emotion altogether. Suddenly she realized that there was more going on between she and Blair, and that it had been building up for some time. "Maybe I don't," Tea said softly as her arms came around Blair and she leaned in close. Their eyes caught and held, and for a moment there was nothing but complete silence. "Tea, I have to confess something. I don't really have feelings for your brother... and I am SO done with Todd," Blair finally said. "BOTH of them," she added. "And to be honest, there is only one person I want to kiss... and she's right here..." Tea's eyes drifted shut as she felt the warmth of Blair's lips against her own. Suddenly she realized she wanted this, Blair's soft touch and her kiss. A moment later they broke apart, and Blair was quietly searching Tea's eyes. "I'm sorry I ripped your clothes off..." Tea spoke. "I'm not," Blair said as she slowly inched down the zipper at the back of Tea's dress. "Uhhhh... wait, Blair. I've never done this before..." Tea admitted, feeling hesitant as Blair seemed to have taken control of the situation. "Ohhh come on, Tea. Forget all about Todd... or whoever the hell he is... live a little..." said Blair as she pulled the material of Tea's dress off her shoulders, spreading kisses all over Tea's soft skin. Tea's heartbeat sped up as she sucked in her breath, feeling Blair's lips caressing her skin. She tangled her fingers into Blair's blond hair, all thoughts swept away as she felt Blair's warm breath against her flesh. "Ohhh God," Tea breathed as she gave in to the undeniable desire that flowed between them like a restless wave. Blair had now conquered the zipper and the dress fell away from Tea, falling around her waist in a soft pool. "Let's go upstairs..." Blair whispered directly into Tea's ear, her warm breath sending a sensuous shiver coursing through Tea's body. Wordlessly, Tea rose to her feet, tugging lightly on Blair's hand. Moments later, they made their way up the staircase as Tea lead Blair into the bedroom. They stood beside the bed gazing at one another as Blair removed Tea's dress, her bra, and then her panties. "Tea, you're so beautiful," Blair murmured, lowering Tea slowly onto the surface of the bed. "I can't believe how much I want you..." "Blair, I want you-," Tea started, but Blair gently pressed a finger to Tea's lips. "Don't speak," Blair insisted as she came over Tea, tugging off her own clothing in the process. Tea was breathless as Blair tossed the remainder of her clothes carelessly across the room. "Forget Todd... Forget everything but this..." Blair urged as her lips settled onto Tea's in a passionate kiss. Tea got lost in the kiss, giving herself up to the sensation and the heat of Blair's body against her own. After awhile she had become the agressor, rolling herself over onto Blair as her hands settled themselves onto Blair's pink-tipped breasts, lightly squeezing the perfect globes. "Ohhh yeah, Tea... I love it when you get all fiesty," Blair breathed, moving her lower body against Tea's erotically. "Shut up," Tea quipped, feasting on Blair's earlobe and giving it a sharp little nibble. Blair just giggled, not the least bit phased by Tea's love-bite. "Two can play at that game," Blair said with a smirk as she lowered her head, feasting on one of Tea's breasts. Her teeth clamped down, capturing the sensitive peak. "Mmmmm..." Tea moaned as she was liking that very much. The two rolled around in the bed together, kissing and touching. There was no part of Tea that Blair wanted to leave untouched. Soon Blair's hands had glided down Tea's body to the point of her desire. Their eyes locked as Blair lightly caressed, her fingers stroking and exploring Tea. "Yes," Tea whimpered. "Don't stop..." "Make me cum," Tea cried out breathlessly. "My pleasure," Blair responded, sliding a finger inside Tea's slick heat. She drove the finger into Tea again and again until Tea melted in her arms, going over the edge into sweet ecstasy. Afterwards Tea lay there dazed, a beautiful little grin upon her face. Blair withdrew the finger, gazing down at Tea. The moment Tea's dark eyes drifted open, Blair kissed away the sweet juices which had clung to her finger, sending a new surge of desire throughout every inch of Tea's body. "Get down here; it's your turn," Tea growled, reaching for Blair almost viciously. ~*About 45 Minutes Later*~ "You know, Tea's gonna hate you when she finds out who you are," Todd growled to his "newly-acquired" twin brother. "Nope, she's gonna hate you..." Victor quipped. "You're the bad one." Todd just sneered as he and Victor walked into the foyer of the Manning estate. "Tea, where are you?" Victor called out, looking around for his wife. He was frantically looking around for her all over the place, but could not find her. "Where is she?" he asked in frustration. "She left you, because you suck," Todd taunted. "Tea!" Victor called out, taking the stairs two by two with his brother in hot pursuit. Moments later, he stood over his bed; the bed where countless times he and Tea had made love, seeing his wife in the embrace of another. Todd was right there with him, shocked to see Tea and Blair naked and all tangled up in each other's arms. Both women were sound asleep with looks of satisfied contentment upon their lovely faces. Todd looked at Victor, and Victor looked at Todd, neither of them able to speak. "What the hell-?" Todd mouthed, but no words could come out. Victor rushed from the room and down the stairs and Todd immediately followed. Quickly, the two of them headed out the front door. "Can you believe that? Tea... and Blair?" Victor said in gasp. "Shocking, I know," responded Todd. "But who needs them? I've had them both... and it never worked out. I'm done with with them both; Tea and Blair." Victor looked at his brother, giving him an understanding nod. "Right, they can have one another," he said as all the tension suddenly left his shoulders. "There's another woman I have my mind on," Todd spoke as he gazed off into the distance. "Really? So do I," Victor said quickly. "Figures," said Todd, giving his brother a warning look. "You're not going to have her though, because she's mine." Todd didn't take it well at all when Victor suddenly laughed in his face. "Let's go find her then and we'll see which one of us she wants!" Victor challenged. "I kissed her first..." Todd taunted as they headed off together toward the car. The Love of Todd's Life Ch. 02 AUTHOR'S NOTE: This story is based off the hit soap One Life to Live, yet the "history" has been changed somewhat to suit the purposes of this story. I'd like to note that I do not own ABC's One Life to Live or the characters and I will NOT be receiving any payment whatsoever for writing this story. It is intended for entertainment purposes only. This story takes place during the 'two Todds' storyline. Irene has just shown up at Vicki's to shed some light on who is THE Todd. ~*La Boulie*~ Tea sat outside on the balcony of the room she shared with Blair at La Boulie. The past two months had been all kinds of craziness, with Irene Manning having admitted that the man Tea had married was not the real Todd Manning, but Todd's identical twin brother Victor Lord Jr. Now that the real Todd was back, there were so many changes in their family dynamics. Blair, Tea, Sam, Hope, Dani, Jack, and Starr were living with Dorian while Todd was staying at Vicki's. Victor remained at the Manning Estate, although Todd was doing everything in his power to get his fortune and newspaper business back from his twin. Things between Tea and Victor were tense at best. She felt like she never even knew Victor, especially since Victor had no sense of his true self and had been brainwashed to have all of Todd's memories. On the other hand, the relationship between Tea and Blair had grown stronger. They were always together, growing closer. Tea loved her time with Blair, and the kids seemed very happy and supportive of their growing relationship. Today Tea had yet another surprise. She held the little white stick in her hand, disbelieving the tiny little plus sign that was undeniably there in the window. "Ohhh myyy God," she gasped, as the truth started settling in. How would she tell Victor? And what in the world would Blair say? A baby? Now? Why? How could this have happened now, when she had just started getting settled in with Blair? With a heavy sigh, she knew what she must do. She grabbed her jacket and then headed out the door. A half hour later, she pulled up at Llanfair considering Victor hadn't answered at the Manning Estate. She assumed he was over at Vicki's, harrassing his twin. Sure enough, Victor's Mercedez was parked outside. She walked up to the door and rang the bell. ~*Llanfair*~ Marty Saybrooke had returned to Llanview approximately two months ago. Victor and Todd had arrived in Ireland asking her to accompany them back to the states. At first she was deeply surprised to see the both of them. They explained to her everything Irene Manning had said, but understandably Marty was still shocked and confused. She agreed to go back with them, because they promised her they would help her clear her name of all the terrible deeds she had committed before she had left town. She wasn't really sure if she could trust either one of them, but something in her gut told her she just had to return and see it through. Now she was living at Llanfair under Vicki's supervision, getting psychiatric care considering she had suffered a mental break-down which had lead to her kidnapping baby Liam and attacking Natalie and Kelly. Marty felt remorseful for the awful things she had done, but now that she was getting help, she felt like she had control of her life once again. She had completely giving up on getting revenge on Natalie and getting John back. Those days were gone. She was just so happy to be given a second chance and to spend time again with her precious granddaughter Hope. She wanted to get well and regain some sort of happiness, no matter how much time that might take. Living in Llanfair was a bit wild at times as Todd was always there and strangely enough so was Victor. Every time she turned around, one or the both of them were always there, and often they were arguing and taunting one another. Vicki and Marty would roll their eyes at them, telling them that they were acting worse than five-year-olds. Today was no exception, Marty was in the kitchen at Llanfair, trying to enjoy her breakfast which consisted of oatmeal, a tall glass of milk, and a banana. Todd came bounding down the back stairs and took his place across from her at the table. He grabbed his own bowl of oatmeal in which he proceeded to doctor with mounds of sugar and some milk. He glanced up at Marty, giving her a grin. "Don't stop yourself from eating that banana on my account," Todd said with a devilish wink. Marty glared at him, nearly smashing it in his face. "Ohhh you'd like that, wouldn't you?" she quipped, thinking he hadn't changed much over all these years. He had the same naughty mouth as always. Todd just smirked, then started shovelling food into his mouth. And as always, Marty just sat there staring, fascinated by the savage manner in which that man could eat. Yeah, some things never changed. Both Marty and Todd were broken from their trance when the backdoor opened and in stepped Victor, carrying a beautiful bouquet of flowers. "For you, Marty," he said, placing them into her arms. "Ohhh..." Marty gasped with surprise. "Ohhh wow..." Todd looked furious when he saw what his twin had done. "Really? Flowers, Victor?" Todd said in a growling tone. "It's not gonna work. Marty doesn't want you! Get that through your thick skull!" Victor glared at Todd. "At least I know how to treat her like a lady, bringing her flowers and chocolates. All you do is sit there and droll over her like a fool!" "I do not drool!" Todd yelled. "You do, too! Marty can't even walk into a room without you looking at her as though she were your very own tasty little snack!" "Fuck you!" Todd hissed, looking like he might get up and pulverize his brother. Suddenly Marty slapped her hand down on the table, accidently smashing the banana in the process. Todd could not help but wince. "Enough!" she cried out. "You two need to STOP fighting over me! What makes you think I'd want either one of you? It's going to take a lot more than flowers or chocolates to make up for all the pain and turmoil you have BOTH caused me, so leave me alone... or I'll go back to Ireland on the very next plane!" Victor immediately shut up after Marty's outburst, but Todd still had something to say. "Marty, at least you know I never lied to you or deceived you. It wasn't me who tricked you and got you into bed. I did do some nasty and rotten things, I admit that, but with me you always knew the score," said Todd. "Shut up, Todd," Marty responded, not wanting him to go any further. Todd and Marty were sharing heated glances when the doorbell rang. "Go get that, would you?" Todd said to his brother, because he wasn't about to get up and interrupt his breakfast. Besides he wasn't anywhere near finished with this conversation he was having with Marty. "What the fuck ever," Victor groaned, walking toward the foyer so he could answer the front door. "Does everyone here think I'm some type of servant?" he was groaning as he pulled open the door. He just stood there in shock, seeing Tea standing there at the door. "Tea? What are you doing here?" he asked, noticing that Tea looked very upset and apprehensive. "What's going on?" "Victor, we need to talk," Tea answered. Meanwhile, in the the kitchen, Todd and Marty were having their own little talk. "Marty, now that shit-head is gone, I need you to listen to me," spoke Todd. "I'm sorry if you and I have gotten off on the wrong foot since you've come back from Ireland, but I really do think there could be a chance for me and you. YEARS have passed since all that crap went down-." "Ohhh you mean, since when you raped me?" "Yes," Todd breathed, hating discussing it but it was a part of their history. "I'm not the man I was then. I'd never hurt you like I did then. I have paid for my mistake... believe me, I have paid." "I have paid for your mistake, too, Todd," she said pointedly. "I don't want Patrick, I don't want Victor... and I most definitely don't want you." "Ohhh really? You gonna become a lesbian then, like Tea and Blair?" he shot out. Marty just shook her head. Todd was angry so he got up to cool down. He headed toward the foyer to see who was at the door. He was rounding the corner by the staircase when he heard voices. Victor was talking to Tea. "I have something to tell you, Victor. In seven months, you're going to be a father again. I'm pregnant," Tea announced. "Good one, Victor. You knocked her up!" Todd said with a laugh, coming up and smacking his twin on the back. Victor just stood there, stunned, not knowing what to say. "Congratulations, Tea," Todd said to his ex. "How's the little woman, Blair taking the news?" "Go to hell, Todd," Tea quipped. "I think I've already been there," responded Todd. "But I was too mean, and they kicked me out, and sent me to Llanview instead. I love it here." "I'm leaving!" Tea said in a huff, turning to rush out the door. "Tea, come back!" Victor yelled, coming to his senses and running after her. Todd closed the door behind them. A grin came to his face as he stood in the doorway. Tea was pregnant with his brother's baby. What a surprising development! With Victor out of the way, Todd was sure he'd have a clear shot at getting together with Marty. It was just a matter of time before Marty Saybrooke realized she belonged with him. Todd was sure of it.

It is intended for entertainment purposes only. ~*Llanfair*~ Vicki had taken a trip to London to visit her family. Marty was sick of being confined in the house with Todd, so she decided to go out for the evening. She got dressed in the sexiest garments she owned, a red leather outfit complete with shiny black high heels. She styled her curls until they fell down her back in a sexy tumble, then applied a great deal of dazzling make-up. She stared at her reflection in the full-length mirror in the foyer, thinking she deserved some fun. Being locked up here in Llanfair with Todd had been sheer hell, especially with Victor always hanging around as though he were stalking her. Todd walked in and his jaw dropped to the floor. "Holy fuck!" he exclaimed. "Where are you going... dressed like that?" Marty gave him a dirty look. "I don't see where it's any of your business, Todd; where I am going or who I am going out with..." Marty responded. "You're going out with someone?" Todd asked, not liking this one little bit. "Maybe... maybe not. But it's none of your concern... so leave me alone. Let me have a little fun," Marty said as she applied some bright red lipstick and grabbed her black leather purse. "Vicki won't like this, Marty. You're supposed to stay here at Llanfair. You shouldn't be out running around. You're going to get yourself into trouble," Todd warned. "Go to hell, Todd," Marty quipped, rushing out the front door before he could stop her. Todd stared after her, wondering what he should do. He had no other choice. He would have to go after her. ~*La Boulie*~ Blair had just put Sam down for the night. She kissed his little cheek and tucked the covers around her little boy. "Good night, honey. Sleep well," she said to her seven-year-old son as he was hugging his stuffed Mickey Mouse. Sam really was the sweetest little boy in the whole world. Had Jack ever been this darling or this likable? Blair really didn't know. But she wasn't so anxious for Sam to grow up. She loved spending time with her little boy. Sam was a bright light in her life. Blair walked out of Sam's bedroom and gently closed the door. As she entered the hallway she saw Tea standing there, looking anxious and troubled. "Tea, what's wrong?" Blair asked with concern, immediately pulling Tea close. "Ohhh Blair, I just don't know how to tell you..." Tea said softly, so upset she couldn't even look Blair in the eye. "Tea, you can tell me anything," Blair said as she wrapped an arm around Tea and lead her into their bedroom. "Come on, Tea... What's going on?" Tea went to sit down on the loveseat by the window, looking down at her hands as she curled them up in her lap. "It's about... Victor," Tea spoke, finally looking up into Blair's face, seeing nothing but concern and tenderness refected there. "Victor? Tea, I don't understand..." Blair responded, shaking her head. "I'm- I'm pregnant," Tea finally admitted. "I'm having Victor's baby." ~*Rodi's Tavern*~ Marty arrived at Rodi's just as the action in the drinking establishment had reached it's full swing. There was loud music, booze, and lots of excited people having fun and ready to party. She had a smile on her face as she walked in and sat down at the bar. "What will it be?" asked the bartender, giving her a flirtatious smile. "A brandy please. On the rocks," responded Marty, loving the freedom she felt here at Rodi's. There was no Todd staring over her shoulder, and no Victor here to woo her. Just countless alcoholic beverages and an amazingly good time. "Sure thing," said the bartender, going to pour Marty's drink. He came back a few moments later, placing the glass of brandy in front of Marty. "Thanks," Marty said with a smile, taking a little sip of the delicious beverage. Ohhh yeah, a drink was just what she had needed. Already she felt more relaxed. After an hour and several drinks later, Marty was feeling the effects of the alcohol. As much as she wanted to find some guy and take him somewhere private for a little wild fun, all the sudden all Marty could think about was Todd. She remembered all their times at Rodi's when they had first met, and it suddenly made her feel sad and weepy. "Give me more brandy," Marty called out urgently to the bartender, hoping the alcohol would make her forget Todd. She needed to forget; how much she had once cared for him, and how deeply he had hurt her. The bartender almost reluctantly went to pour Marty another drink. Where was she putting it all away? She had already consumed a good portion of a bottle of brandy. He brought her the drink, thinking he was going to have to refuse to serve her soon. She looked like she was close to being completely inebriated. "Thanks, sexy," Marty said in a slurred voice, raising the glass to her lips. She took a sip of the potent fluid, winking at the bartender at the same time. The music was loud and throbbing as a guy came to sit next to Marty at the bar. She looked up, seeing Victor had taken a place right beside her. "What are YOU doing here?" Marty demanded, sounding greatly annoyed. "Marty, should you really be drinking?" Victor asked with a heavy sigh, noticing immediately that she reeked of alcohol. "Just like I told your loathsome twin, it's none of your damn business!" Marty remarked. "Just leave me the hell alone!" "Why do you do this to yourself?" Victor asked, seeing that Marty was really messed up. "Go fuck yourself, " Marty said to Victor. "I hate you... and I hate Todd, too." "Really, do you, Marty?" Victor asked. "Is that why you're getting shit-faced drunk... because you hate us... or is it that you are trying to forget someone?" Marty nearly choked on her booze. "If I want to drink to forget how much you and your jerk of a brother hurt me, then that's my business. Get lost, ass-wipe." "Is that all it is? Are you just gonna get drunk?" Victor asked. "Or are you here for ... 'other things.'" Their eyes met and Marty thought suddenly he knew her too well. Getting drunk usually led to her picking up a guy for a quick and easy romp and that's exactly what Victor was implying. And that had been exactly what Marty had intended to do before Victor had mysteriously strode in. "If I wanna get laid tonight... that's also none of your business," Marty snapped, avoiding his eyes, because it was true. She wanted to get laid tonight so damn bad, so she could forget Todd... so she could forget everything. Victor reached for the drink, practically prying it out of Marty's hand. "Come on, Marty," he said. "You've had enough. I'm taking you home..." "No!" Marty protested, but he took her arm and started dragging her away. She left Rodi's with him unwillingly and in her drunken state, she didn't even notice she had left her purse behind. ~*La Boulie*~ Blair stood there in shock as soon as Tea announced what had been on her mind. "P- p- pregnant?" she repeated. Her Tea was pregnant? "How... how did this happen?" Blair blurted out, but then realized how odd that had sounded. "Nevermind... I don't need the details... really, I don't..." Blair said as she was yet in a state of disbelief. "Blair, please... I didn't mean for this to happen," Tea implored, hoping Blair wasn't too upset with her. This pregnancy occurred before she and Blair had even got together. It's not like she had planned to get pregnant. Blair walked across the floor to sit next to Tea on the loveseat. She took Tea into her arms, holding her close. "Tea, I'm not upset... really I'm not," Blair stated. "You're having a baby; that's wonderful news. I'm already raising Sam, Victor's son. Victor never even comes over to see him. It's as though he forgot he even has a little boy." "I know, and that's just wrong. Sam is a wonderful little boy," Tea replied, because she absolutely adored Sam. "Victor's going to be this baby's father... but he probably won't even give a damn. The only kid he spends any time with is Jack." Blair nodded. "You're probably right... but Tea I'm here for you," Blair promised. "This baby will be Sam's little sister or brother. You and I, we can raise this baby together." A small smile came to Tea's face. "Do you mean it, Blair?" she asked hopefully. "Of course I mean it, Tea. I'm not letting you go. You and I and these kids; we are a family now." "Ohhh that's right... how in the world will we tell the kids? They are just getting used to the fact that Victor's not Todd... and that Todd is back, wanting a place in all their lives." "Don't worry. We will handle all of it together," Blair said as she laced her fingers with Tea's. "What did Victor say when you told him?" "He didn't know what to say. Just like Todd, he's too busy trying to get in Marty Saybrooke's pants," Tea replied. ~*The Minute-Man Motel*~ Victor practically had to carry Marty into the motel room. She snuggled up against his chest, a small smile on her face. Victor was overcome with tenderness as he placed her on the bed. "This isn't Vicki's house," she said softly as her blue eyes came open and she took a look around. "I brought you here first... so you could sober up," Victor said, kneeling down next to her on the bed. "Really? You mean you didn't bring me here so you could have your way with me?" Marty said with a little giggle as she gave Victor a provacative look. "Marty, you're drunk... you don't know what you are saying." "Yes, I do. I want to get laid tonight..." Victor's heart skipped a beat. The woman he had been obsessing about was practically offering herself to him. She was caressing his chest, trying to get her hand into his shirt. Her touch was driving him absolutely wild. "Marty, what are you doing?" he asked, sounding almost afraid. "I am trying to seduce you," Marty said matter-of-factly, sitting up in bed. She looked at him, her eyes laden with desire. His eyes caught on her lips. They were so kissable. "Is it working?" Marty asked, sliding herself into Victor's arms. "Please Victor... make love to me," Marty begged. Victor lowered his lips to hers because he just couldn't refuse. He had been wanting Marty for so long, and here she was, pleading for him to make sweet love to her. What man in his right mind could refuse such an invitation? ~*Rodi's Tavern*~ Todd walked into Rodi's, looking for Marty. It was her old haunt, so he sort of figured she'd be there. He questioned the bartender, giving him Marty's description. "Ohhh yeah, she was here. She drank nearly a full bottle of brandy, then she took off with some guy," spoke the bartender, showing Todd Marty's purse she had left behind. "Some guy?" Todd said, looking suddenly furious. What the hell? Some things never changed! Obviously, Marty had left with this 'guy' with one thing in mind only... getting laid. "Uhhh yeah... " responded the bartender, getting uneasy when he saw Todd's enraged stance. "She called the guy Victor." A string of obsentities poured from Todd's lips as suddenly he tore out of the bar. ~*The Minute-Man Motel*~ Victor came up for air after the hungry kiss. "Are you sure?" he asked, looking down into Marty's beautiful sapphire eyes. "Yes... make me forget Todd," she breathed, the alcohol in her system causing her to unveil more than she would have ever admitted while sober. She pulled Victor on top of her, winding one of her legs around his body. She wanted him so badly. She just needed to get laid. Any guy would do, but Victor was an incredible lover, so she knew she was in for some hot and wild sex. "Mmmmm..." Victor moaned into the kiss because Marty tasted of the potent liquor she had consumed. Even so, he wanted her. His cock was already hard. He broke from the kiss, thinking Marty insatiable. She couldn't keep her hands off him. A half-grin on his face, he moved off her slightly to take her clothes off. He undressed her, throwing her sexy outfit, bra, and panties aside. Then he stood to remove his own garments. Soon he had his shirt off, his muscles rippling as he stood next to the bed. Marty gazed at Victor with passion-laden eyes. When he kissed her, he swept away all thoughts of Todd. She reached out, giving his cock a bold caress through his pants. "I want you to fuck me now," she said, needing to be fucked so badly. Victor nodded because he couldn't wait to sink himself into Marty's tight, wet depths. But at that moment, the door of their motel room came crashing in. Splintered wood went everywhere as Todd bounded unceremoniously in the room. Victor turned to look at his twin, surprise and shock written on his face. "What are you doing here?" Victor mumbled. Todd didn't say a word as his fist collided with his brother's face. Marty screamed as Todd started pounding on his twin. She reached for the sheet, trying to cover her bare body. "Todd, stop it!" she pleaded, afraid that Todd would murder his own brother. Todd glanced at Marty, then back at his twin whose face he had bloodied. "What the fuck is the matter with you... taking advantage of her when she's drunk?" Todd yelled at Victor. "Well, at least I didn't RAPE her," Victor responded. "She's willing... just look at her." "Get out now... before I kill you," Todd said, meaning every word. "Marty-," Victor began, but Todd cut him off. "Get the FUCK out!" Todd growled. Victor grabbed his shirt and nearly ran from the room. Todd was going to kill him in a heartbeat, he just knew it. After Victor left, Marty jumped up from the bed and began attacking Todd with her fists. "I hate you!" she screamed at him, punching him again and again. Todd looked at her, completely naked and furious, beating on his chest again and again. All the anger left him, and he didn't know what to do. After awhile he wrapped his arms around her and just held her as Marty began to mournfully sob. She was shivering in his arms as she cried. "I hate you," she said in a little whimper. "Marty, you're cold. I have to get you home. You can't stay here," Todd said softly, tenderness overcoming him as she was pressed up against his chest. To his surprise and shock she snuggled up against him, spreading hot kisses on his neck. "No, Todd... don't take me home. Let's stay here..." she said in a heated whisper. "I want you. Please, don't take me home..."
