A/N: Mini chapter here next chapter will be in the works a little bit later I got to get ready for my draft so I needed to drop this. I got something up my sleeve.
Let's go! (:
Sam's POV
"Something is off about this, where is Stevie? Denise you talked to Stevie I seen you got a ride with Mary."
She shrugged her shoulders. "I've been calling him and I haven't heard anything back."
"Sam, have you heard from your brother last time I saw him he was….."
"Sorry, I'm sorry I'm so, so sorry traffic was a little hectic I just went out for a little ride I changed in the restroom. Hey baby, you look stunning."
"Thank you, where did you go to?"
"Um…" He cleared his throat. "I'd rather not say tonight is all about the adults. Who is watching the kids?"
"Deja, I pray they aren't giving her a hard time."
TJ's POV
"All kids under 10 listen up this is how tonight is going to go, play nice, don't fight, no arguing, I really don't want to raise my voice we have food coming Uncle Sam shot me a text saying her ordered 3 pizzas some wings, and mommy got some water." Simon raised his hand. "Yes, Simon."
"I don't like water my mommy drinks it all of the time can we go out and get some juice that water shit is for the birds."
"Hey!" I yanked him by his shirt. "Don't say those kinds of words Simon I'm not trying to get a part 2 my mommy means business. So zip it Simon."
"Fine, fine, fine I won't say that word anymore but the other words are okay?" I shook his fist in Simon face. "I'm k-kidding sorry. Geez."
"Go ahead Deja boo continue."
"Thank you boo, as I was I was saying we got water and my mom made some lemonade now I'm about to jump on this call once if someone knock on the door come get me I'll be in the other room on the phone. Just going to pick up my baby so we go ahead and call daddy yes we are I can talk freely without my mother being all up in my conversation." She smiled at her phone. "Say hi daddy, hi baby."
I rolled my eyes. "Deja got a baby?"
"Really Simon, pay attention the dog is her baby her name is Bailey Elizabeth Evans-Adams I don't know why she's in the other room all booed up with Preston."
"Jazzy she's on the phone to get away from us kids but let's huddle up this is what we're going to do listen so each of us is going to take a turns and…."
"Yeah."
"Break on the. 1, 2, 3, break. I got first follow me Conniehey." I walked into the room Deja was kicked back on the couch. I lifted Conniehey ear. "No barking."
Mm. [I'll try but I'm not promising anything.]
"So, your mother really did wake you up this morning for a doctor's visit?"
"It wasn't a doctor's visit because it wasn't my doctor she just wanted to make sure that everything was intact I was going to tell her all she had to do was get a pregnancy test but that wouldn't have made her feel at ease, she'd probably freak if I mention pregnancy test."
"Like I freaked with those questions I have never seen that done before. Your mom was joking with those questions she really didn't want me to answer them?"
"No she was dead ass serious, your answers were but she got to happy remember she cut a step then Conniehey fanned her with his tail then she almost died but I never go to tell you the answers she was looking for….."
"I liked my answers, you hear this Conniehey."
"The correct answer to one is I don't care whose first as long as Deja survives, answer to question number two is with your hatchet set especially if its Tank, Sarah or Shane. Otherwise consult Jesus, number three 2+3 equals a well whipped behind if I find out he so much as touched my daughter inappropriately by Denise Pittman standards he will be searching for his two balls on three different occasions."
"Oh I'll try not to do anything I need my balls or who balls…nothing. Who is this Tank guy? You got a photo of him everyone in your family seems to."
"TJ DID YOU YELL AND CALL DEJA MOMMY YET SO WE CAN BUST UP IN THERE." I shook my head. "What's up with that face? Is she up in here boo loving?" Jazzy jumped on the bed. "Hi Preston, what are you up to?"
"Errr…I'm talking to my girl Gabby…I mean Jazzy the y gets me."
"Better because I'm the cute one and she's the struggling one."
"Who you calling struggling? You must be talking about yourself, jump your fast tail off that bed so I can beat you down." Gabby took off her clip on earrings. "Here TJ hold my ear rings and don't hold me back."
I sat at the foot of the bed. "Yogi I'll call you back I have to tame these kids okay bye." She stuffed her phone in her pocket. "HEY LISTEN UP! When I tell y'all to stay in the other room I mean that. What made you come up in here? Did JT put you up to this?"
"Well…" He tapped his chin. "You didn't say any of that but for a small fee we won't disrupt your FaceTime with Preston." He held out his hand. "I'm thinking around $500."
"No, that's all the money Uncle Sam gave me for watching the kids I don't get paid anything for you, you are a charity case, and how much money do you want?"
"$100."
"Nope, $15 or leave it."
"$15, that's robbery! I'm calling mommy." He picked up the phone. "Why did you snatch it?"
"You're not calling mommy. Great the food is here!" She opened the door. "Everything is paid for, did my Uncle Sam put a tip on there. He did thank you have a good one. Pizza is here its three kinds, cheese, pizza, and sausage tell me what you want and I'll make y'all plates first go wash your hands and don't play with the water."
Mercedes POV
"So let me retell the story about how I met my beautiful wife to be so it was after TJ's party and…"
"Something is off about Stevie." I whispered in his ear. "Maybe you should text him to see what's going on. Something happened."
"…then Santana said a prayer in Spanish lighting her match tossing it on Sarah, crunk, rank, crunchy Tank ran out the studio stopping, dropping, and rolling, stop, shop, light a match open up shop, oh, no, Tank is on blaze you know, burn him down he must be stopped now, I'll grab my stick PawPaw is too legit to quit."
"Daddy you need stay off the 90s radio station tweak lyrics you know like Duke of Earl or Why Do Fools Fall in Love save them songs for the youngin', anticipating your upcoming nuptials?"
"What did he send?"
He pulled out his phone. "He said someone got shot."
"SOMEONE GOT SHOT!" I covered my mouth. "Sorry for the outburst um…"
"Let's us pray that Tank got shot, bow y'all heads. Gracias por el que apretó el gatillo que acabó en el cuerpo del tanque le pedimos que bendigas el dedo en el gatillo de quien apretó el gatillo que ha hecho una obra poderosa en la actualidad ha bajado el que ha torurted nuestra familia si está todavía livng dejó la bala criple él de una manera que haría más fácil para mí que lo puse en el fuego por lo que Denise le puede picar, María puede ofrecer la música, y Quinn puede cortar sus bolas. Amén. [Translation: Thank you for the one that pulled the trigger that ended up in Tank body we ask that you bless the trigger finger of the one who pulled the trigger he has done a mighty work on today he's taken down the one who has torurted our family if he's still livng let the bullet criple him in a way that it would make it easier for me to set him on fire so Denise can chop him, Mary can provide the music, and Quinn can cut off his balls. Amen."
"Tank didn't get shot Shane did just grazzed his arm."
Tana blew out her match. "Here I am about to light one up for Tank and he's not dead I wasted a good prayer for nothing I can't get that back!"
"How you know he got shot, where did you go?"
"I went for a ride drove by the old house he was there along with Shane Lucky on the ground." Denise pulled out her hatchet sharpening it. "I walk up Lucky calle my name to get him to look at me he pulled the trigger."
"Why don't Lucky bullets have a sense of direction Shane isn't the problem Tank is, where is he at we can handle him, let's go Mary." Mommy checked her purse. "I got my mace, my pocket knife, my tennis shoes, vaseline, lighter…"
Denise, Quinn, and Tana also emptied their purse. "You go that, I want that too, see it's a knife you like this."
"What kind of a dinner is this we're suppose to be enjoying our time talking about love, future grandbabies, all the ladies are emptying their purses with their on hand weapons let me join in on this." Daddy dug in his pocket. "I got a screwdriver, my switch blade…"
"I got a photo of Mary Sue so called sonogram photo it's a picture of a gallbladder she thought she was pregnant with my baby she hasn't had a egg drop since they linked hands to sing We Shall Overcome I'll tell you the story about that wild night later."
"I also got." Daddy rolled up his pants leg. "My guns I never go anywhere without them I got two on this leg and two on my other leg."
I covered my face with the napkin. "Daddy please everyone please pick up your weapons off the table I don't want to be embarrassed."
"Too late Mercedes it's alright let me cheer you up I talk to your father last night after I put a good one on him and we're moving out here permanently to be around y'all isn't that exciting Alex J you hear that."
Alexandra J's POV
NOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Granddaddy how could you! I know you were just healed some weeks back but now that you can put your foot down she keeps finding ways for you to put your foot back up! You must want me to be preemie. Where are my stress balls? I need to squeeze something.
Cinny – They floated away in the shower remember.
*throws down juice bowl* Damn! Damn! Damn!
Dejanae's POV
I turned off the television. "Thank God they all are asleep! Ray I'm going into my room I have some studying I need to get done if one of them wakes up don't come get me. I did my job. I kept them safe and injury free."
"You good go call Yogi." I gasped. "Don't worry I wasn't eavesdropping you got enough little ears to deliver all your information to your mother. I won't be one."
"Whatever Ray I'm going to bed, night!" I locked the door behind me. "Everyone so freaking nosy I mean come one. Let me calm down Bailey so cute curled up with Conniehey and Tubbington. Preston is calling. He has perfect timing. Hi Yogi the kids are asleep, we can finally pick back up where we left off at, you had asked me about Tank."
"Yeah, I did you got photo of him."
"Sure my mother has plenty she travels with some. " I grabbed her purse. "Here they go she's only down to 2 she worked out this morning."
"She likes the dude or something."
"No, she doesn't like him it's just that we have a dart board and she uses his faces as the background that's a way to relieve stress besides being the jets." I shuddered "Just nasty. This is Tank he is dirty old man your mom used to warn you about, abusive, nasty. ..why are you looking like that? What is wrong Preston?"
"Deja, um can we talk some other time I have something to do."
"No, what's wrong? Tell me! I'm your friend."
"Fine that's my dad."
