Brianna has been living with Drew and Rick now for about 6 months
The Journey
"Bri, Darling it's time to get up now" Drew said gently.
"Go away" Brianna said into her pillow. "
A little defiant this morning aren't we?" Drew said with a small laugh as he started tickling her sides and pulling the covers off of his daughter.
Brianna rolled over and pulled the covers back over her shoulder.
"Brianna come on get up" he said as he sat the girl up.
"No" Brianna said as she laid back down
"Brianna you're going to be late
"Why don't you just leave me the hell alone?" Brianna yelled.
Drew looked at her shocked and quickly stood the young girl up and knelt down to her size.
"You do NOT raise your voice to an adult in this house or anyone for that matter! You do not curse!" Drew said in a firm but quiet voice.
"Do you understand?"
Brianna looked at her father and said "Yes sir" not trying at all to hide her attitude. Drew stood up and said to his daughter
"We are leaving in 15 minutes. I expect you ready." Brianna rolled her eyes as Drew was walking out.
"And if I were you I would drop the attitude before you get in trouble" Drew said as he was walking away.
"BRIANNA LINCOLN ALLISTER, LET'S GO!" Drew yelled. B
Brianna walked out of her room into the kitchen where Drew was standing and he handed her her book bag and her lunch box.
"Come on let's go you're already late" He said as they got into the car. On the way to school Drew tried multiple times to make conversation but gave up after the 4th shoulder shrug. At last they pulled up to the school and Drew stopped the car at the parent drop off lane.
"Bye I love you have a good day" he said with a smile. Brianna rolled her eyes got out of the car and slammed the door. Drew pulled away after seeing that she got in okay.
Drew went home and went to sleep. Rick came home around 2:30. Rick walks over to Drew and gives him a kiss to wake him up. "Hey you". "Hey yourself" says Drew as he quickly looks at watch. "Oh shoot I've got to go pick up Bri" Rick looks at his husband and the bags under his eyes. "I'll go get her, you go back to sleep."
"FYI She's got an attitude today." Drew warns. Rick nods and grabs his keys to go pick up the girl.
As Rick approaches the parent pickup line and realizes that he should have left sooner than he did. Finally after about 10 minutes of waiting he sees Bri talking with her friends and looking at her phone. Bri says goodbye and gets in the car. "
Why are you picking me up?" Bri says with attitude.
"Well hello to you to sunshine" Rick replies.Brianna rolls her eyes and starts back on her phone again.
"Hey Bri?"
"Yea"
"Drop the attitude now or I'm taking your phone away. Okay?"
Brianna doesn't reply
"Okay?" Rick asks more firmly
"Alright" brianna says trying to hide the irritation in her voice.
"How was your day?"
"Fine" Brianna replies looking down on her phone.
After that Rick gave up on small talk. A few minutes later they were home.
Brianna walks in the house and puts her book bag and lunchbox away. Then Drew walks in "hey baby how was your day" Drew asks pulling her in for a hug and kisses her on her forehead. Brianna tenses up and rolls her eyes as she starts walking to her room.
Brianna stomps into her room and slams her door just to have Drew barge in.
"You have about 3 seconds to change this attitude of yours before I take your phone away." Drew says firmly.
Brianna looks up at her father "Maybe if you would back off a little bit I wouldn't have an attitude."
Drew walks over to the girl and sits down on her bed.
"Whats going on with you Bri" "You've never given us any attitude, why start now?"
"Just leave me alone!" Brianna says forcefully
"Do not talk to me like that young lady" Drew replies with a stern tone.
Brianna looks at her father and says "Why don't you just get out and leave me alone!"
"Give me your phone". Drew says in a quiet tone
"No" Says the girl.
"Brianna you have to the count of three to give me your phone."
"I'm not 4 you know"
"One"
Brianna stares at him
"Two"
Brianna continues to stare at her father.
"Three" Drew stands up and forcefully grabs the phone out his daughter's hands.
"Me and Rick will discuss your other punishment for being defiant."
Brianna rolls her eyes and mumbles something under her breath.
"What was that?" Drew asks
"Nothing" Brianna replies with a smile full of attitude.
Meanwhile in the kitchen
"What on gods green earth is going on with her?" Rick asks as his husband approaches.
"I have no idea but it has got to stop." Drew replies as he sets the phone on the counter.
"I told we would discuss another punishment for being defiant, got any ideas?" Drew asks
"We could take her a computer away."
"No she needs for school" Drew replies
"She can still use it, just as long as we are looking after her." Rick counters.
"That's true" Drew agrees as he starts to cook dinner.
45 minutes later Briana hears a soft knock on her door.
"Hey love bug it's time for dinner" Rick calls gently.
"I'm not hungry" Brianna replies.
Rick walks over to the girl and puts his hand to her forehead.
"You're not warm, what's wrong?"Rick asks as he sits on the end of her bed.
"Nothing I've just had a bad day."
"You wanna talk about it? Are people at school being mean to you?"
"No!I said I just had a bad day!" Brianna exclaims.
"Well you need to at least eat a little bit." Rick says as he offers a hand to get up.
Brianna just sits and stares.
"Bri if you don't get up then I'm going to pick you up and carry you to the table like a baby"
Brianna just crosses her arms and rolls her eyes, ten seconds later she feels Rick pick her up under her arms as he put his hand behind the small of her back.
"OK OK I'll walk." Brianna replies just as they leave her room. Rick ignores the girl and keeps walking. Brianna kept fighting, trying to get down, it was no use. Rick just tightened his grip. As soon as they got to the table Rick put her in a chair between him and Drew. Drew had already served the spaghetti and was just waiting for them. The men then walk into the kitchen to get drinks for everyone when Drew walks over to Rick.
"What the hell was that?" Drew asks
"She wouldn't willingly get up and walk to the table like the 14 year old she is, so I treated her like a 4 year old she was acting like." The two men exchange a glare and then make their way back to the table. Only to find Brianna gone, Rick goes back to her room only to find her door locked. Rick reaches above the door frame and finds the key to her door and unlocks. He then walks over to Brianna picks her up and carries her back to the table.
"I'm not 3 you know" Brianna says in a smart tone.
"Then stop acting like it" Rick replies as he sets her down back in the chair.
"You haven't eaten anything all day" Drew said as he sets the plate of spaghetti back in front of her.
"Yes I have" Brianna argues back
"No you haven't, Your lunch box was full when you came home and you didn't eat breakfast. So eat" Drew said sternly
30 minutes later
"I'm full" Brianna says hoping that will make all of this stop.
"Three more bites and you can be done." Rick replies Brianna rolls her eyes
"No, I said I'm full!" Brianna exclaims.
"And I said three more bites"Rick counters back.
"I'm not eating three more bites!" Brianna says in protest raising her voice slightly.
"Do not raise your voice with me young lady." Rick says sternly
"Bri come on three more bites please" Drew says pleadingly
"NO! And what are you going to do any ways force feed me?" Brianna yells
"You know what fine! You don't have to eat three more bites, you can just be grounded for a week." Rick says as he grabs her plate and takes it to the kitchen.
"Go bring me your laptop, tv remote, and your Ipad." Drew commands.
"I'm sorry" Bri said looking down.
"I am to Bri, but I am not the only one that you need to apologize to." Drew replied
Brianna looks down at her hands.
"Now Bri." Drew says firmly
Brianna sites there with her arms crossed making it clear she wasn't leaving. Drew got up and stood the girl up from her chair.
"Brianna Lincoln Allister, when an adult tells you to do something you do it." Drew said in a stern voice. Brianna rolled her eyes and went to her room.
"What was that?" Drew asks his husband as he walks into the kitchen.
"I am so sick and tired of her attitude so I tried to fix it." Rick says frustrated
"Well I have to go to work so maybe her attitude will be better tomorrow. But I think we need to talk to her." Drew says. He hears his daughter enter the dining room.
"Bri can you come in here for minute?" Drew asks through the doorway.
"Yes?" Brianna says as she enters the kitchen.
"We just wanna talk to you for a minute." Rick says as he lifts the girl on to the counter.
"What's going on bug?" You've never given us attitude like you did today." Drew says with concern.
"I've just had a bad day" Brianna says hoping to end the conversation.
"What happened?" Rick asks
"I don't want to talk about it." Brianna says as she hops off the counter and starts heading for the door.
"Hold it right there" Drew says as picks up the young girl.
"I've got to go to work, but I want you to fix your attitude and talk to Rick so we can stop this from happening in the future." "Okay?"
"Okay" Brianna says
"Okay give me hug before I go."Drew says as he hugs the girl and kisses her forehead. He walks over to his husband and gives him a kiss a as he hands his daughter over to him.
Once Drew left Rick took Brianna back to her room and sat her on her bed. Brianna looked down at the lamb that Drew had gotten her once she was adopted. Rick sat down in front of her.
"Ok Bri, talk to me. Tell me what made your day bad." Rick said
Brianna sat there looking at her lamb.
"Bri? Look at me." Rick said gently as he put his hand under her chin and pulled it up.
"I got into an argument" Brianna says timidly.
"Ok, with who?" Rick asks patiently
"One of the girls at school. She said that I'm not your daughter because we're not blood." Brianna says as she chokes back tears.
"Oh my sweet baby, you will always be my daughter. Blood doesn't matter when it comes to family. But love is crucial. " Rick says gently as he pulls her in for a hug. The two stay like that for at least a minute before the girl realized that she never apologized for how she was acting.
"Dad?" She said pulling out of the embrace.
"Yeah bug?" Rick said quietly
"I'm sorry for how I was acting." Brianna said timidly.
"All is forgiven baby"Rick says looking at his watch it was 9:30.
"Woah." Rick said shocked at how late it was.
"You my friend needs to get in the shower and go to bed" Rick said as he got up and placed a kiss on forehead and left.
15 minutes later Brianna came out of the bathroom. Rick looked up from his and followed his daughter to her room. Brianna had started to pull back the covers when she saw Rick walk in.
"Goodnight love bug, I love you" Rick said as tucked her in and gave her a kiss. He walked over and turned off her light.
"I love you too" Brianna said sleepily
