A/N: The ditty in the story I had stopped typing and actually went and recorded it on my phone in the bathroom to see how it would sound and 3 updates in one day! A 4th one might be coming out next. You know what one of y'all come and take my laptops. lls I just get the ideas and I have to get them down so many twist and turns you should see my trash page. I fall asleep thinking about what I'm going to do next. It's not over yet got another character I want to introduce. Enjoy!

Tank's POV

"I thought you said this phone had numbers in for you to call some people. This phone is empty. It's asking you to set it up."

She turned the phone face me. "What? No. The phone had numbers in it. I told you I called Kurt and he hung up on me."

"Are you sure?"

"Dammit Ma! Don't you believe me?!"

"Well somebody must know you have that phone because no numbers are in it." She said getting in my face and smacking me upside my head. I snatched the phone out of her hand and sure enough it was back to factory settings.

"Shit."

"Are you sure that the Kurt you called was the Kurt she knows."

"Yeah, he said, "Hello, Mercedes", and when I said it was me it silent like he had hung on me or put the phone on mute."

"True. What should do next?"

"Let me think about it."

TJ's POV

We only been here for like two days and mommy is so happy she's laughing, smiling, I got a bunch of uncles and aunts, Aunt Brittany is cool she slipped me a couple more cookies when Aunt Santana called Mr. Sam, Trouty Mouth, I got cousins so I'll be meeting them soon. I can't wait! Mr. Sam, me and the guys were in the game room playing but Mommy made us get out when she figured out that all my aunties were on the grill. We're outside right now and I'm playing ball with Uncle Stevie, Uncle Kurt, and Uncle Blaine two on two you know who my partner is.

"I can't kick the ball unless I have music."

"Kurt, just kick the ball!" Uncle Stevie said as he squatted down and I did the same.

"No, I need to warm up." Uncle Blaine pulled out his phone and started playing some song about putting a ring on it and Uncle Kurt started doing some funny looking moves and finally he kicked the ball.

"Tell me he did not just do that."

"He did."

After a few minutes of playing with Uncle Stevie got tired of Uncle Kurt and his music and he went back inside to the game room but the girls kicked him out.

"Girls kicked me out. I'm going for a walk. Want to come with me?"

"No, I want to see what Mr. Sam, Uncle Artie and Uncle Puck are doing."

"Alright if my brother asks tell him I went for a walk."

"Okay."

"Ready?"

"Almost." Mr. Sam said as he went and sat beside him. "Where's Stevie?"

"Oh he went for a walk."

"Guess Kurt and Blaine went for one too."

Mercedes POV

"So, you had a baby? You're married?" Santana asked.

"I don't see a ring on your finger."

"So you stop being celibate when you got with Tank?"

All the girls were asking question on top of question lips just running ragged. I could hardly get a word in edgewise when they just stopped at the same time and said.

"Well Mercedes."

"Well what? You all were talking I couldn't get a word in. I'm going to answer your questions. "No, I'm not married, I was still celibate with Tank until he got me drunk and had his way with me that's how I ended up losing my virginity and pregnant with TJ, the reason I left and went back to Tank was because of my son ."

"You could have bought him the first time."

"I know Stacey I should have but I didn't there is a reason why."

"Well, Sam doesn't seem to mind TJ. Actually he and TJ have a formed a little bond in what…2 days. You should have seen TJ and Sam it's as like he's been around Sam all of his life."

"Awww…. Mercedes, why did you stay so long?" Rachel asked me.

"TJ, I wanted TJ to be around his father and make it seem like I was married because y'all knew in high school I had it all planned out win my first Grammy and then get married but things got out of place I had TJ and then I won a Grammy."

"Your performance was fierce on the show when you segued into Hell to the No I was singing every word with you. Some people were wondering how I knew the words to that song. I didn't tell them I knew you they'd be asking for autographs and stuff and you weren't talking to us then."

"Yeah, that was Tank."

"But back to the reason you stayed. That's not a good reason to stay. I know you probably wanted the happy home façade and play off that you're married to Tank although you're not but no."

"So, what made you leave this time and bring TJ and has TJ seen Tank hit you?"

"TJ seen Tank hit me. The reason this time I left and bought TJ with was because he raped me, forced himself on me he just did it and he locked the door and I heard TJ banging on the door and screaming and crying and I zoned out because hearing my child yelling, crying and banging on the door and I can't get this guy off of me and so the next morning, I woke up I unlocked the door and TJ was in the corner sleep with a tear stained face. I picked him up and on the way to his room I was contemplating stay or go and I thought about his little addition to his night prayer and I decided to go.

"What did he say in his prayer?"

I bit my lip sighed as the tears started to form. "He said, "And Jesus let daddy stop hitting mommy and yelling at me. Amen." All of the girls just clutched their chest and few wiped tears away." After I heard that I started crying. "That did something to me."

"That did something to me too." Stacey passed out tissue and we all dabbed our eyes "Yeah."

"Girl it would not have been me. Hell the minute he went to sleep, snip snip." Quinn said opening and closing her middle and index finger in a scissors motion.

"No…"

"Yes!"

"No!"

"Yes! I'd cut that that little dick of his off he'd wish he never did that to me."

"After you cut it off what would you have done with it?"

"Girl I'd burned it Set it on fire. Blaze!" She said as we all fell over in a fight of laughter. "That thing would have been crispy like chicken fried extra, extra, extra hard." The laughs continued. "Hey, listen there would not be no search and recovery going in the bushes, I'd let a dog play with it. He would not be getting that attached back. I would even let them look for it. I'd mount it on the wall." We went from crying to crying laughing leave it to my friends to bring humor in a messed up situation.

TJ's POV

"You want to flip a burger." Uncle Puck asked me as I looked over at Mr. Sam.

"He asked you buddy, not me."

"Yeah."

Uncle Puck sat down the thing he was turning the burgers with and he picked me up and showed me a couple of times of how to flip a burger. "See, it's all in the wrist. Say it with me."

"It's all in the wrist." I said with him.

"You got to say it when you flip the burger."

He handed me the spatula and my first burger flip wasn't too good. "Try it again and don't forget to say, it's all in the wrist."

"It's all in the wrist." I stared singing it because the way Uncle Puck said sounded like a song. "It's all in the wrist" I sang it twice and then Uncle Artie came in with some ad-libs. "Hey. Hey."

Then Mr. Sam joined in whispering. "Wrist. Wrist, Wrist." He'd say wrist once and then double it the second time.

"I did it!" And then I just started singing "I did it! I did it I did it."

"Did what?"

"I flipped a burger!"

"Did what?"

"I flipped a burger."

Uncle Puck placed me back on my own two feet and I started dancing and singing to our song made up song.

"I did it hey!"

"He did it hey!"

"I did it hey!"

"TJ did what?"

"I flipped a burger."

The clapping and awws bought me out of my groove and I bowed. "Nice performance guys. What's the name of y'all group?" Aunt Rachel asked.

"TJ and the Boys."

"Mommy you saw me grilling."

"You were grilling, singing and dancing. What a talent you have there?! Let's go get you cleaned up for dinner and put on another shirt." Mommy cleaned me up and put in another shirt I headed to the game room because I saw Uncle Stevie in there.

Sam's POV

"How was the walk?"

"It was good. I'm going inside to get freshened up. Kurt?"

"Uh…no I have to talk to Sam about something I'll be in shortly."

"Alright." Kurt kissed Blaine and he went inside I started setting up the condiments table and Kurt grabbed him bottled a water from the cooler.

"You know Tank called my phone."

"Yeah, I looked at the spy app and thankfully set up the iCloud so I wiped the phone clean so everything that was in there is gone."

"Whew! That's good to know. I was nervous that he was going to call the others but I called them and told them that if that number pops up don't answer. You want to know the real reason why everyone is up in your house."

I placed down the last bottle of ketchup putting my foot in a chair. "Yeah, I don't mind it all but tell me."

"The cookout was my idea I just needed a reason for all of us to get back over here to see if Mercedes was here and when I saw TJ I was relieved that she bought him too."

"What y'all over here whispering about?" Mercedes asked creeping up on us.

"Mercedes um…Sam, what were we talking about?"

I scratched my head. "Uh…um…I was asking Kurt about some paint."

"Paint?" She questioned.

"Yeah I want to fix up the room TJ's staying in you know make it more for a kid since y'all going be to living with me."

"Yes, that's what we were talking about just like it just slipped my mind." Kurt nervously laughed.

"Were you two really talking about that?"

"Yes, we were. I just told Kurt to not go all out just a little boy's room."

"Yup that's what he said."

"Okay. So, where is TJ he dashed off somewhere?"

"Honey you know where he's at."

"Game room." She and I said it together as she went inside.

"Close one."

"Yeah. Well I'm going to get changed."

"Okay."

Everyone got freshened up and we waited for a couple more minutes for Stevie because he was the last one seeing as he took a long walk probably around the park . We're all around the picnic table TJ then Kurt, Blaine, Brittany, Santana, Stacey, Stevie, Artie, Puck, and Rachel and sitting between Mercedes and me is TJ because that's where he wanted to sit.

"How's the food?" I asked and didn't get no response everyone was too busy stuffing their mouths. "I take the silence as in the food is good. Yeah." I took a bite of my burger and whispered to TJ. "Everything's good?"

"It's good daddy."

"Okay." I looked up at Mercedes and she had this look on her face that's hard to describe. "How's the food babe?"

"It's good."

We ate and laughed up a storm over dinner the sun started to set and TJ was itching to get back in to the game room but Mercedes put a stop to that.

"No, you're not going back into the game room. No more video games tonight. You can play tomorrow with time limits. What would you like to do instead that everyone can enjoy?"

"I saw it in a movie once."

"What is it?"

"S'mores."

"We can do that."

"Yes! Come on Mr. Sam!"

A/N: TJ called Sam the "D" word what will Mercedes say to Sam about that, what will she tell TJ about that, is the unwanted yet welcomed guest staying over. We'll see in the next post. Some family members of Mercedes might visit or call. Who knows?
