Teddy asked."This is my house and nobody I mean nobody has the right to give some rules or any rules but me" Teddy spewed as he pushed the food that had been placed in front of him."Well unless you want to have your butt in jail, you would abide by these rules," she said not smiling."What exactly do you want from Emilie?""
