Tammy POV

It's been almost a month since we came here. That first week was really messed up. That next morning after my savior came we sat down with Antonio and talked things out. I promised him I would never be like 'him' but I would also not take attitude or behavior like he showed the day before. I knew how stressful that passed week was so I didn't punish him b UT told him next time not only would he spend a whole week in his room there would also be no electronics. I made him apologize to Ben and everyone else who was in the garage. He has again become the same great kid I loved since our talk.

I found out the person who caught me when I collapsed was Tank. I can't believe that I felt so safe with someone I didn't know to well at the time. Bubba and Bubbi and our new family has helped get me full custody of the kids and a restraining order against him. The kids have adjusted better than I thought possible.

The kids are royally spoiled by all there many uncles and aunts. They do no wrong in any of there eyes. The only problem has been with Ben who is entirely too strict with them and thinks he can overrule me when it comes to the boys. It has gotten so bad Bubbi and Bubba has banned him from being around any of us and the whole core team has backed up the order.

I am brought out of my thoughts by yelling and I sigh "not again" I shake my head before texting Les and telling him he needs to come home and calm his wife again. I understood her being upset with Mike when she first got home but she is totally taking it to far now. I get up from the couch in our wing of the estate when I hear someone knocking on the door. Mike sticks his head in as I am almost to it "can I please hide in here till dad gets home?"

I smiled and waved him in as I opened my arms for him to walk into. He buries his head into my neck and I can feel the tears soaking into my shirt as he clings to me. I start rubbing his back when I hear him mumble that he wanted his dad. I start to say "I texted..." When my phone rings. He lifts his head as I look at the caller ID and "it's your dad" I say as he holds his hand out. I smile and handed him the phone.

"Dad you need to come home" he says "she let me" pause "I came in here I couldn't take it no more she's crazy" pause "I think this last mission she got brain damage" pause "ok see you in a little I'm staying with Aunt Tammy" he looked at me and I nodded he said bye and hung up before handing me back my phone. I walked over and locked the door to the suite so I could make sure Alex couldn't come in.

I wrapped a arm around his shoulders and lead him back to the living room and sat him in the middle of the couch. I sat next to him and he laid down with his head in my lap. He looked up at me with tears filled eyes "why can't she see I'm sorry" he sniffled and whipped at his eyes "I know what I did when she was gone and I promised never to do it again" he whipped his eyes again "is she ever going to see me again and not just the mistakes I made."

I sighed "I don't know sweetheart" I ran my fingers through his hair massaging his scalp "I am going to help fix this anyway I can." He turned and buried his head in my stomach and his arms around my waste. He nodded into my stomach still crying and holding on for dear life. My cell beeped with a text message from Les "hey sis I'm outside your door" I sighed as I texted "just unlock it and come in. Your boy needs you."

I heard the door unlock and open as I watched my favorite older brother and one of the best friends walk in. He smiled a sad smile as he looked from me to his son and back. " Hey buddy I'm here" he said as he walked over and kneeled in front of us.

He lost his balance and landed on his but when my nephew threw himself into his dad's open arms. I chuckled and smiled I stood kissed the top of my nephews head whispered I was going to leave them in my brothers ear before kissing his cheek.

I locked the door to the wing as I left and was glad I did when I ran into Alex on the stairs . I sighed when she finally looked up at me then pulled her into a hug. "Les is leaving and taking the kids with him". I pulled back "can you blame him? " I asked "I have been holding your oldest son while he cried his eyes out asking if his mom will ever see him or just a mistake he made?"

She shook her head and buried her head in her hands. She was sobbing and as mad as I was at her I hated seeing someone so upset so I pulled her into my arms. I heard the front door open down stairs I looked up in time to see Ric and Steph walking in. He looked between the two of us and frowned "Ally?" He called gently as he got up next to us. She flung herself into his arms and buried her face into his neck and soon after her legs gave out. He caught her and carried her down the rest of the steps and into the living room where he sat on the couch with her in his lap and us other two on either side.

When she calmed down some she pulled back "he deserves better" she whipped her eyes "I need help It's not his fault " she said "I need to talk to someone about what happened and then I need to apologize and prove I deserve to be his mom again. "

Ric and her stared at each other for a long time before he nodded and hugged her. "What ever you need you got it" she sighed and curled into him and he asked "inpatient or in house? " She through about it for a few seconds then pulled back to look at all of us "inpatient want to stay around family. If that's alright?" She looked at each of us "we have your 6" Ric, "family sticks together" Steph, "i will do anything to help that boy get his mom back so you got my full support" I smiled.

"What did I miss?" I heard Tank ask as he sat behind me and started to massage my shoulders. Alex started to say how she was a terrible mom when Tank growled pulling ne into his lap "Stop it sis" he sighed "I hate when the two of you say stuff like that" he motions between her and me "everyone makes mistakes all you can do is learn from them and apologize and work on being better." I smiled I am falling for this man and I am so glad he is always here for me. I leaned back and kissed him "I am learning as I go" I said before looking back at Alex "he's right and I know with time and effort you will all be okay. "
