Tammys POV

After we got all the boys into their own beds Tank and I went into my room and snuggled in my bed. Dinner wouldn't be for hours and this day has already exhausted me. After we got comfortable I grabbed my phone and reread Les ' message. As I finished my phone beeped with another message from Lester's phone 'Sis I was wondering if you, the kids and maybe Tank can come down here with the kids so I can come back up there and talk this over with Alex. Let me know. Love your brother.'

I looked up at Tank who was reading over my shoulder. He was reading a text on his phone he looked at me smiling and showed me the text from Steph 'go. I will cover the meetings. Family comes first. Love you.'

I smiled and chuckled before texting Les back that we would leave first thing in the morning. He texted me back that he loved us and would see us in the morning. I leaned into my guy and relaxed. I must of fallen asleep because the next thing I knew I felt someone shaking me trying to wake me up. I growled out I needed ten more minutes when I heard Tank laugh. "Sweets I don't think Eddie wants to wait in the hall that long." I groaned but stretched and sat up kissing Tank before looking at the clock to see its been almost three hours since we layed down. "Mama" I heard my boy call through the door and smiled as I called out "come on in buddy".

When I the door opened I didn't see the confident and brave young man I knew and loved. He reminded me of the scared and nervous little boy that was terrified of what 'he' would do to him. "Sweetheart" I called and when he looked up I motioned for him to come to me opening my arms up wide "come here." He flew across the room and, almost knocked me back into the headboard, into my arms. I pulled him into my chest and started rocking back while rubbing his back and whispering "Everything is ok. You're safe. No one will ever hurt you like that again. We love you my sweet boy." After a little while he calmed down some and looked up at me "I am so sorry for picking on bubba I won't call him s...that again." I smiled for a couple reasons one I was relieved to hear him apologize and get what for and because my message of never wanting to hear that word got through. I kissed his hair as I pulled him into a hug. "I'm glad that word is erased from your vocabulary and while I appreciate your apology and am proud of you for making it I'm not the one you hurt and need to apologize to." "I promise I will apologize to him when he wakes up" he said. I nodded "good." Before I could ask Tank asked "why did you call him that word" he paused when Eddy started to blame his brother "and I don't want to hear he was bothering you. You already said that. What were you doing when he started to bother you? "

Our boy looked between us before sniffling "I'm sorry I won't be mean to him again." Tank lifted a brow "good I'm glad but you need to answer my question" came my man's patient reply. "I..." his tears started coming faster and I knew why and hatred for our sperm donor grew. I sighed "baby I promise no one will break or throw your things away" I rubbed his back and kissed his hair "but you know that there are consequences for your behavior and you might be put on restrictions right?" He nodded while hugging me tightly "my model kits" he mumbled into my chest." I sighed before backing him up from me and giving my fed up mom stare "I know we have talked about you fighting with your brothers over a toy or your models. You are not allowed to touch your models for two weeks and I don't want to hear of another ensident like this you are going to get the spoon. " I glared at him for a few seconds before "do you understand me?" He nodded and his head dropped down as his tears took over but only a few seconds later his head whipped up and turned to Tank with a terrified look in his eyes. I knew what was coming but I think it shocked Tank "I'm sorry really sorry I promise I won't do it again please don't be mad " his tears were falling hard and fast and broke both of our hearts. Tank shook his head "I'm not mad baby" he held his arms out towards our son, I just now realized how I have thought of him as all five kids dad for a long time, when both looked towards me I smiled and nodded. I don't know what father whispered to son but it stopped the tears and soon they were hugging.

When he set the boys feet on the floor "why don't you go see if your brothers are up" he paused "you knock on their doors if they don't answer you come back and let us know ok." We got a nod before he took off out of the room but a second later he was back in our doorway looking a little nervous. "What's wrong baby? " I asked. He looked up from his feet "Momma may I please put my model plane away so no parts go missing when I can build it again." I smiled "yes you may and thank you for asking love you". He smiled "I didn't want to get in more trouble. Thanks."

Tanks phoned dinged right after Eddie left the room. He looked at it smiled and looked at me. We're going to Manuels restaurant for dinner. Ric already reserved the family table. I chuckled "wonder how many of the family will be joining us I said as I stood up to go take a shower. Right before I went into the bathroom Tony knocked on our door and let us know the other two boys were putting the model kit away. He said he would let them know to start getting ready and Tank said he would take care of the girls while I got ready.
