Putting Fun in Dysfunctional

“Cops are here, ambulance too,” Kadi grumbled. “He’s gonna get busted.”

“Chipper, 5-0!” Kenna shouted again and within seconds Chipper had slipped out of the room with a cloth piece wrapped around his knuckles.

“Thanks,” he mumbled sitting down on the other side of Kadi. “Kenna, go let the ambulance check you out.”

“I’m fine, Chipper,” she argued and kept her hand behind Kadi’s head. “They need to check Kadi out first. You can drive me to the hospital, they can take her.”

“Don’t make me get on the stretcher, its so humiliating,” Kadi complained but in the end she was lifted on the stretcher and was taken to the nearest hospital where Kenna and Chipper met her. Turns out Kenna was fine, just bruised and Kadi had a deep laceration and a mild concussion but she was fine.

“Can we leave?” Kadi stared up at her forehead as much as she could with a frown. “I’m getting tired of this turban head wrap.”

“Its gauze,” Kenna shook her head in amusement. “We’ll leave soon, I promise.”

“Poor thing,” Chipper walked in the room with a cup of coffee in one hand and two water bottles in the other. He handed Kenna hers and the other to Kadi as he leaned over and kissed her gauze wrapped head. “You look cute in a pitiful kind of way.”

“Thanks I love hearing that,” Kadi rolled her eyes and sighed sitting back. “Did the officer find you?”

“Yeah, he also found ten things for me to autograph too,” Chipper chuckled. “Which reminds me…somehow—I have to go to the game in two days.”

“I thought the reason you were coming to stay with me, but ended up with Kadi was because you couldn’t play,” Kenna questioned looking up at Chipper. “You have a boo-boo on your knee or something.”

“A. I did and I’m going to watch and support and B. Fuck you, I have got to have surgery on it, its not just a boo-boo,” Chipper rolled his eyes at his immature ex-wife.

“So testy,” Kenna smirked and sighed. “Is it the same thing you tore last time?”

“Sadly, yes, I have to have surgery and then rehab for six months,” Chipper sighed, not looking forward to it but anything was better than the constant pain.

“When do you have surgery?” Kadi asked concerned for him, he hadn’t mentioned hurting his knee, even in bed but then again, they had been busy.

“I have surgery tomorrow,” he sneered expecting both women to yell. “My doctor called this morning and told me he had a cancellation.”

“I’ll drive you,” Kenna said before she glanced at Kadi. “The doctor said she can’t drive for three weeks, just to be safe.”

“Thanks,” Chipper thanked Kenna and then glanced down at Kadi. “That’s fine, we can chauffer her around.”

“How long do you plan to stay?” Kenna couldn’t help but smile, she knew he needed a break even though he loved his job.

“Since my ex-wife got my house last fall, when I was in Houston and I wasn’t home for the trail, I don’t have anywhere to stay actually,” Chipper stared at Kenna blankly. “I guess until I can get a place up here.”

“You can stay with me,” Kadi woke up from her daze and looked expectantly. “If you want too, I don’t mind.”

“I like that idea,” Chipper smiled carelessly, a real smile that was genuine and then he leaned down and pressed his lips to Kadi’s lips, shocking both her and Kenna.

“Um…” Kenna paused and cleared her throat. “Can we go to the game with you?”

“Yeah, I think I can manage that,” Chipper nodded and glanced at the door. “There’s the doc, I’ll go see if we can leave soon.”

The day they went to the game, Kadi as just excited as she had been the last time, only now she was allowed in the dugout with Chipper because she was helping him hobble around on his bum knee, Kenna claimed she was supervising so she little helped out. “I want peanuts,” Kenna had been sitting quietly watching the boys play and suddenly she spoke up, making everyone stare at her. “What? Does a girl have to flash her boobs to get some nuts around here or what?”

“No, don’t—don’t do that,” Chipper shook his head and held his hand out to stop Kenna. “Hinske, grab a bag of peanuts from the ushers for me man.”

“For you, no. For her, sure,” Eric Hinske smirked at Kenna, who tilted her head and flirted with a chuckled.

“Oh please, you already have enough guy troubles,” Chipper snapped and pointed towards the field. “Eyes on the game, Kenna.”

“Kiss my ass,” she retorted and smiled back at Hinske as he walked over and sat down beside her. “Thanks for your nuts.”

“Oh god,” Kadi couldn’t help but snort from laughing so much, she saw Chipper laughing at her from the corner of her eye but she just couldn’t stop laughing, she almost choked before she finally settled down. “That was priceless.”

“No, seeing you red in the face and crying from laughing so much,” Chipper smiled down at Kadi. “That was priceless and pretty damn cute.”

“Aw,” Kadi couldn’t help but blush. Since she had been in the hospital, he had been extremely cute to her and not quite as sarcastic and egotistical as he seemed. Kadi bit her lip and looked up at Chipper; he stared at her until a snap sound made them look away, Kadi jumping as she did. A bat had broken in half and landed at third base, Kadi chuckled and nudged Chipper. “That’s awesome.”

“You know what?” Chipper sighed as if he was admitting something horrible. “When we have sex tonight, you’ll have to be on top.”

Kadi once again started choking on air, she whipped around and stared at Chipper wide eyed, mainly because he hadn’t been quiet about it and everyone in the dugout, all the Braves had heard her. “Really? What the—why would you say that out loud!?”

“Because I was thinking it,” he said slowly, as if he was playing dumb and he had been, because as soon as he said it, he smirked.

“You so aren’t getting any tonight,” Kenna chuckled and shook her head, she looked up at Hinske and they started laughing and silently talking about it together, laughing every now and then.

“No, I think he is,” Kadi shot back just because she felt like it. Kenna looked up from Hinske and raised her eyebrows in surprise. “I kind of feel bad, he’s disabled and in pain. I think he deserves a pick-me-up.”
