This is the first chapter of the sequel of THE BLOODY CROWN…

*Otis's pov*

A year

It's been a year since everything happened.

The year has been pretty quiet if you don't count having an always dancing three year, a hyper active one year old, another one year old but this one is just like the three year old and an always crying one month old.

Yea you heard me a fucking one month old.

Lilly, the sweet Angel, the cute adorable three year old. She is always attached to Baby. Lilly always has a smile on her face and wants to help out with everything. She is her mother's mini-me, looks just like Candice.

Travis, the evil Monster, the hyper active one year old. He has to make a fucking mess. Never stops yelling or running. More attached to me than anyone else. Travis has his mother's hair but my dark blue eyes.

Vera, the beautiful Cupcake, the innocent sweet one year old. Vera is the silent one but can be just like her older sister. More attached to RJ and Tiny. She is like them, likes to be alone sometimes. Have my blonde hair and her mother's eyes.

Then you have Jackson, the vicious Demon, the crying shitting one month old. Jackson likes to pull on things. Whether it is hair, clothes or items. If he can grab it, he pulls it. Attached to Mama and his bitch of a mother. Jackson looks just like me and only me.

That's all my children.

But they do need a Mother.

And that's where she would have come in but she isn't here anymore.

*Baby pov*

I walk up the wooden steps. My high heel black leather knee high boots clack against the old wood. My skin tight skinny jeans tucked in them. The white cut off top was loose on me. It showed my stomach.

I stepped into Otis's room only to hear him in the attic. I checked on Jackson before climb up the ladder. I open the trap door and smirked as I watch Otis throw shit around.

His hair has thicken and turned grayish. He grew out his beard and mustache. I even talked him into getting two tattoos before he got his chest piece. But that's all that really changed. Oh and he got a little nicer but only to certain people.

"Are you just gonna stand on the fucking ladder all day?"

I roll my eyes before a smile graced my lips. "It's the twins first birthday and you are spending it up here instead of your children."

"Do you know what today is?" he looked at me with tears in his eyes.

I climb up the rest of the ladder and walked over to him. "I know what today is, Otis. It is the day your twins were born."

"And the day I lost her!" he stood up and threw more shit around.

"No it's the day you became a father! That's all you have to think about." I placed a hand on his shoulder. "I know you miss Candice. Hell everyone but that bitch misses her. She was family and still is. Candice gave us three awesome babies to love. Lilly looks just like her mother and I know that she is your favorite. Your little Angel is just like her mother, your princess." I took a deep breath and looked into his blue eyes. "Otis, your my brother and I love you but if you don't pull your head outta your ass for those babies then im gonna kill you. They aint just your children, those twins came from Candice. Lilly, Travis and Vera are the only things to remind us of Candice. So please don't dishonor Candice by missing out on her children's birthday."

Otis nodded and he wiped my cheeks clean of tears I didn't even know I cried. We climbed down the ladder and walked out of the room. I smiled as Otis wrapped an arm around my shoulders and pulled my closer to him. I wrap an arm around his waist, like Candice always did when they walked together.

*Otis's pov*

I held Vera in my arms as she blew out the candles on her birthday cake. She smiles and claps her hands together before giving me a giant smile.

"Look Daddy I did it!"

"I saw Cupcake." I kiss my daughters cheek and watch as she smiled like her mother did. She raised her arms in the air and laughed.

Candice used to do that when she was running in the field. She would throw her arms in the air and spin around laughing loudly. She would stop place her hands on her pregnant stomach and give me a bright smile. She would then run and jump into my arms yelling for me to spin her. once she was too dizzy we would lay in the grass. Me on my back and Candice draped on top of me. her black hair would shine in the sun light. Her blue eyes would sparkle as she pointed out shapes in the clouds. She would talk about our child together. Candice was the one who picked the names. Travis for her Grandfather and Brian for her brother. Vera for Baby and Kimberly for her mother. I wanted to keep her memory and honor her wishes by naming the twins the names she wanted.

"Travis Brian Sanders! I told you not to shove your hands into the cake." Mama scolded Travis but her glare melted as Travis looked up at her with his mother's innocent eyes.

"I sowwy Nana." I smirked as Travis pouted just like his mother used to.

Mama sighed before taking my now messy son from Baby and held him in her arms. "It's okay Travie." Mama kisses his cheek before he place both cake filled hands on her cheeks and gave her a kiss on her lips before laughing.

"Daddy I made Nana messy like me!" I chuckled before taking Travis from Mama, who was shocked still by the cake smoosh.

I look down at the one year olds in my arms and sighed. Your mother would have loved you. I felt the tears come back to my eyes but I forced them back.

"Daddy?"

I looked down at the new voice and smiled as I saw my Angel looking up at me with a smile that matches her mother's.

"Well there's my Angel." She giggled before climbing on the chair next to where im standing. Lilly placed her head on my arm and hugged my bicep.

I had my three children but not the love of my life.

*Unknown pov*

I opened my eyes only to see red. Literally red light bulbs where everywhere.

"Welcome back, my dear."

I look over to see a very old man. He was wearing an oxygen mask, and mechanical arm contraptions. His mouth is also stitched up, and his speech is complicated to understand. He is Dr. Satan. But he wasn't the one who talked to me.

"Why am I here?"

I looked over and was surprised to see Hugo standing next to me.

"You died, Hun but I couldn't stand listening to everyone so I dug you and asked the doc to fix ya."

"I died?"

"Yea you died after giving birth, Candice."
