Chapter Six: La Familia


Friday. Three days after the party.

Kenneth Jr, Duck, face timed Clementine half of the day. He was telling her about his fishing trip with her father that didn't go too well. They were stuck for hours because the gas tank had a leak from hitting on the road of speed bumps.

But the good part is that they caught a lot of fish. Katja spend two days prepping the fish in the kitchen and sorted them in the deep freezer.

Duck told Clem about the up coming sea food cookout at his place. He planned to invite her, Ava, and the Garcia siblings. His main peers.

"Come over Sunday afternoon. I'm sure pa wouldn't mind the family joining as usual. The bigger the better. Hopefully, pa let us play some...modern music." His grey orbs rolled upwards. On the other line, he could hear her giggle.

"Word. He always plays his seventy-five years old playlist from a...CD." The two snickered.

"Man... I had to teach him about Youtube and Spotify, last y'er. It was so annoying when he fussed 'bout the technology complication. I gave up..." He rubbed his wrinkled forehead.

"Damn. Technology isn't for him."

"Yeah. Bet he don't know how to type." Duck laughed.

"Oh, Duck! Everyone should know how to type by now."

"I'm just sayin'. Never saw him type anythin'. I'm the one typing for his ass." Duck told her. She had a giggle fit. Kenney and Duck always go at it. Raised as a country boy from the beginning, his family decided to live near the city. Mostly, to live near close friends and relatives. Kenny's parents past and Katja's family is two hours away from there area.

Kenny never understood the young society technology and gadgets that they fix their face on daily. Until the day he got himself a smart phone, things changed. He found more fishermen in Georgia and he caught up with a lot of his family from using Facebook.

But the man will never touch a laptop or computer.

"Duck, can you help me out!" His mother called.

"Gotta go." He said.

"Okay. I let the others know about your cookout." Clem said before hanging up.

.

.

At the Garcia's house, a young man helped his older mother out of the car to the front porch. The unsteady finger carefully pressed the bell, alerting the house hold inside.

"¿Crees que los niños crecieron más altos? Estoy tan feliz de que estén en la escuela. ¿Cocinó Kate? (Do you think the kids grew taller? I'm so happy that they're in school. Did Kate cook?)" The little old lady rambled. The man beside her chuckled.

"Por supuesto, los niños crecieron más altos. Estarán encantados de vernos. (Of course, the kids grew taller. They'll be excited to see us.)" He smiled at her. Her eyes squinted soon as the door open. The squeals from the young girl made the old woman's heart throb. In no time, their arms clung around each other bodies.

"¡Abuela! ¡Es tan bueno verte! Javi?! (Grandma! It's so nice to see you! Javi!?)" Mariana's arms wrapped around her uncle.

"Sup, Mari. How's everything?"

"Ev-Everything's fine." In his arms, she felt like everything was safe. He held her so tight. Missing the times when she was younger, he would toss her up in the air, listening to her uncontrollable giggles.

Abuela wander in the house to see her first grandchild. Almost lost her breathe when the boy caught her in his arms. Burying the woman with kisses.

"Te extrañé. (I missed you.)" He whispered. He pulled away to admire her sweet wrinkly face. Memories flooded his head.

The smile on her face sunk. She held his face, staring at a bruise under his eye and chin. She dropped her arms. Not please by her grandson's condition.

"Oi...Abuela-" The sight of her raised hand, Gabriel shut his mouth.

"Donde esta mi hijo? (Where's my son?)" Her tone in her voice deepened. Javi, or Javier, shut the door behind him. He asked his mother what happened, and she just pointed at Gabriel's face. Gabe tried to walk away but Javi yanked him back to see his face.

Anger filled his eyes.

"David! Where the fuck is you?"

"That is no way to greet- Ah! Mama! Cómo estás? (How are you)" David and Kate came down the stairs. Kate welcomed them with a smile on her face at first. Seeing Javi brought back painful memories. She looked away and awkwardly stayed to the side.

Abuela wobbled up at her eldest son and smacked the shit out of his face. David drew backwards from the impact. Kate tried to help but she halted when Abuela blocked her from comforting her son.

"¿Qué diablos es esto? Vine aquí para sorprender a mi familia y ... no crié a una perra. Levanté a dos hombres. ¿Por qué carajo mi nieto cubierto con moretones? Habían pasado años, mi amor. Años después de la muerte de tu padre, la muerte de María y la muerte de tu hijo...(What the fuck is this? I came here to surprise my family and... I didn't raise a bitch. I raised two men. Why the fuck my grandson covered with bruises? It had been years, my love. Years since your father's death, Maria's death, and your child's...)" Abuela shouted.

Javier glared at David. David returned the favor and glared back.

"Limpia esa mirada de tu cara y abraza a tu madre. (Wipe that look off your face and hug your mother.)" David did what he was told and stomped to the kitchen. Abuela sighed. Mariana was hiding behind the sofa. She didn't want to witness her abuela fiery.

Javier and Gabriel helped Mariana up. She was too shaking to stand on her feet.

"Let's go for a ride." Javier whispered to them. They nodded and left the house. Before leaving, Kate ran out after. She stopped at the driver side, where Javier was sitting.

"Let me come too." She mumbled.

"Jump in." Kate gladly did.

.

.

"Out of all places, you take us to a batting cage." Kate leaned against the cage. The teens were batting two cages down from Javier's.

"Yup. Get the steam out of those two. Look at them." Javi pointed with his head. Kate turned to watch the siblings laughing as they tried to hit the ball. Gabriel cheered as he knocked three balls.

The two adults watched the teens have their fun for a second. Javier smiled to himself and went back batting. Kate turned back to him.

"Thanks for this."

"Don't thank me." He said. He didn't mean to say that so quickly. Yet, he knew he had to set things straight between them. Kate tucked in her lips. She knew what was coming.

"Mama knows..."

"That's why she's here... I'm such a slut..." Kate sunk down to the dirty ground and leaned her back on gate. Javier stopped batting. He turned around seeing her back shivering.

"Kate-"

"No. No...Please... Our baby was a mistake just like our fantasy to run off and get married. Everything between us... We never would had..." The gate opened while she held her cries behind her hands. He sat next to her.

"If you say that our baby was a mistake then...our love for each other was too? I loved you as family when you got involve with David. We didn't expect that we would connect instantly. Things happen... I never doubted my feelings before. I always pushed things and get what I want. I was..."

"A spoil quick fuck." She whispered. Javier's stung her with a glare.

"I believe you have awful memory. I took time working in you." He smirked. Kate punched his arm.

"Oh, shut up. Asshole." She wiped her face with his shirt. She can't never get mad at Javier. He was always the sweet little brother. Always cheering her up with flirtatious jokes, sarcasm and comfort. She couldn't deny that she still crushes over him like a high school girl. But the band on her finger reminds her who she's with. And who she cheated on to be with after her miscarriage. That was years ago. A horrible memory where the fight and argument started.

The reason why the boys never talk unless their mama's around.

"Did he hurt you?" Kate stayed quiet. He got up and squatted in front of her.

"Did he hurt you, Mariana, and Gabriel?" The tone of his voice scared her.

"Javier..."

"The fuck family therapy was for then?" He voice thundered as banged the fence beside her. Kate stared at his vicious eyes. He wasn't glaring at her, but the thought of David angered him.

"To help save my marriage...To help David and I get over certain things..."

"You guys were broken after that miscarriage..."

"...And we totally ruined it when I was pregnant with yours. He or she could had been a health beautiful baby. My first baby...and last." She laid her hands over her stomach. Javi stayed quiet. Kate always wanted kids of her own when she grown fondly with Gabriel and Mariana. She thought David would be happy having another one on the way.

But jealous took over the man. So what Javier teased her flirtatiously. So what they hung out together whenever David was called for work. So what Kate smiled at Javi like his mother and father did when Javier got recruited to the legendary 'Doves'.

Kate didn't have feelings for him. She loved him like family.

Although, she did later on. He fell for her when she confronted him about her loss. David's child. David was nowhere to comfort her in her state. He was dealing with the loss too. He consoled her, bonded with her, laughed with her, took her out, admired her, and secretly made love with her behind his brother's back.

The affects that Javi showed her sparked a feeling between them.

And when David noticed Kate's sudden pregnancy, he immediately knew it wasn't his. He never touched her for months.

"Kate..."

"Yes?"

"Who do you love?" The silver band burned her finger.

"...David..." Silenced by her choice of words.

Gabriel and Mariana ignored the outburst. It wasn't their business. They knew about Javier's and Kate's drama. And secret of the late babies that brought out the rage in David.

"Gabriel..."

"Que?(What?)"

"I...I think I want to live with Abuela... Or tio (uncle)." His bat touched the ground.
