I like this chapter and i hope you do too! KEndall's "art" isn't that manly but i couldn't think of anything else. Please Review =]

"Jett." I seethed.

"Well isn't it the lovely family. How are we doing today?" he sneered and patted Sam on the head.

"Don't touch me." Sam said as he ducked away from Jett and moved closer to me in the booth.

"Buddy why are you being so distant from your father?" Jett asked.

"Kendall's my daddy." He whispered.

"No he's not."

"Jett will you please stop." Shai pleaded.

"What's wrong babygirl?" Jett asked sweetly.

"Don't call me that."

"How are you feeling by the way?" he asked as he chuckled darkly.

"I hate you." Shai said as she wiped away the tears that were pooling in her eyes.

"You deserved the beating you got." He said as he stole some bacon from my plate and walked out of the diner.

I got up and went to go after Jett when I felt Shai grab my wrist.

"Not now." She said as her eyes darted to Sam. I nodded and sat back down and wrapped my arm around Sam's shoulder.

"What are we going to do today?" Sam asked.

"I have to go to a few "meetings" today but you and mommy are going to head home and watch movies." I told him.

"Will you be back tonight?" he asked while he continued eating.

"Yes and I'll cook dinner when I get home. I have to go but I'll see you two later." I patted Sam's head, squeezed Shai's shoulder and threw a 20 down.

"See you later Daddy!" Sam waved as I walked away.

.LINEBREAK.

I entered Carlos' house where all the members of my gang were waiting for me.

"Logan." I grabbed his attention.

"Hey man, how you doing?" he asked.

"I've been better. Shailene had a meltdown yesterday but other than that we're okay."

"Did you get it done?"

"Yeah…I cried during it to be honest."

"That's normal Kendall. You just lost your daughter and while you were getting it done you would obviously think about her. Where'd you get it?"

"It's on my back on my right shoulder." I said.

"Can I see it?"

"It's taped up now but later you can."

"Everyone's waiting. Are you going to tell everyone why we're going to war or lie?"

"I don't know." I said as I entered the living room as everyone looked up at me.

"What's goin' on?" a member, James, called out.

"We need to start shit with Jett. He took something away from me that I will never get back and he needs to be punished. I've been given strict instructions to not kill him but at this point I don't give a fuck."

"What did he take?" Carlos, a loyal gang member, asked.

"My…my daughter. I got Shailene Lynch pregnant and when Jett beat her, he killed my daughter. Finley Rae will never get a chance to live because of him so I want him to suffer like we are. I want to take his territory on the east side. I want you guys to capture him and bring him to me when we invade his territory next weekend. You guys have one week to come up with a plan and give it to Logan so I can approve it. Be cautious though… Shailene has another child whose father is Jett… Jett will do anything to take his child away from me… if Sam or Shailene get hurt during the fight… I will hunt down the person that caused it and kill them. Do I make myself clear?"

A mumbling of yes could be heard throughout.

"You guys are dismissed. Don't let this get out." I warned as everyone left.

"We're sorry Kendall." Carlos said as he gestured to James also.

"Thanks." I mumbled as my phone began ringing.

"Shai? Are you okay?"

"Sam's having a tantrum and I can't get him to calm down. I'm having some slight pain in my stomach and he's just making it worse. Can you please come home and help?" I heard her say as she sucked in a breath.

"I'll be right there. Go lie down in bed and take deep breaths."

"Hurry."

"Shit." I mumbled as I hung up and ran towards my car.

"Where are you going?" Logan asked.

"Shai and Sam…it's rough right now." I told him as I got in my car and drove away.

.LINEBREAK.

"Shailene?" I called out as I barged into the room.

"In the bedroom." She called back. I rushed in and went and laid right next to her in the bed.

"How you feeling?" I asked.

"I'm okay. The doctor said that pain was normal but it hurts and I'm so uncomfortable.

"It's okay. I'm right here and I'll help you. I had a meeting with my people and Jett will pay for what he did but I told them not to kill Jett."

"That's….reassuring."

"I have something to show you but first I want to have a chat with Samuel. Where is he?"

"In the playroom I think."

"I'll be right back." I told her as I kissed her softly on the lips. "Samuel?" I called out.

"In here."

"We need to have a chat buddy."

"Why?"

"I heard you were being a bad boy before."

"I wanted pudding but mommy said I couldn't."

"So you freaked out?"

"No but I wanted it bad and mommy said I couldn't so I got angry and I said something that I shouldn't have." He mumbled the last part.

"What did you say?"

"I said that Finley died…because…she didn't like mommy." He couldn't even look at me.

"You know that's not true and do you know how upset mommy is? I think you need a time out."

"NO!"

"Yes, now let's go." I dragged him up to his room as he screamed and cried.

"Let me go!"

"No, don't you dare come out of this room before I come and get you or I'm taking away some of your trucks.

"I hate you! You're not my real dad!"

"I don't care."

"I want my real daddy!" I heard him say and I felt like I was being stabbed.

"I'm sorry you feel that way." I said as I shut the door and headed back to Shailene.

"Hey…I heard what he said. Are you okay?"

"No…but I know he's just mad."

"He'll apologize. I think it just hit him that I'm no longer pregnant and he can't deal with it."

"He's only 5; he shouldn't have to deal with this."

"I know but he's smart for his age. He understands so much." She said as I nodded and took my shirt off.

"What's that?" she pointed to the bandage on my shoulder.

"I got a tattoo." I told her as I snuggled up against her and wrapped my arms around her.

"What did you get and when?"

"This morning." I pulled off the bandage to reveal the name "Finley Rae" in black cursive on my shoulder surrounded by a heart.

"That's beautiful."

"I want to do more around it but I didn't know exactly what I wanted. I got something small to start."

"Sam will be jealous." she gave a small smile.

"I know…maybe I'll get his name on my shoulder in the future when he's officially mine." I whispered the last part.

"You going to stick around long enough to adopt him?" she asked with wide eyes.

"I think I am." I told her with a smile as I nuzzled her neck and planted soft kissed where her neck met her shoulder.
