A/N: You're going to find out who the mystery person is and….just read. Happy Reading. I think this might be the post where y'all gonna hate someone.
Sam's POV
Eventually Mercedes cried herself to sleep I tried talking to her about what TJ said but it was of no good use so I went and talked to TJ.
"You mad at me Mr. Sam?"
I sighed kicking the box into the hallway. "I'm not mad I'm disappointed in you. I hear my son tell his mother he hates her and uses two bad words." I got in his bed and put my arm around him.
"You're not my real daddy mommy said so."
"Yes, I am. What's a real daddy? Tell your daddy, what you think a real daddy is?"
"Well, to me a real daddy is nice, he's fun, he plays games with me, he doesn't yell at me when I do something wrong, he makes mommy laugh and not cry and he makes mommy happy and makes mommy smile and he doesn't make her sad."
"Right, don't I do all of those things for you and your mommy?"
"Yeah."
"So, does what that makes me?"
"My real daddy."
"Yes, but there is more to being a real daddy than that, a real daddy hugs and kisses his son, he reads his son books, a real dad sings to his son and real daddy doesn't abuse the mother of his son. You hear what I'm calling you?" I pulled out a napkin from my pocket wiping his face.
"Yes."
"What am I calling you?"
"Son."
"Who are you?"
"I'm your son." He pointed at me smiling.
"Right, you are my son and I'm the proudest father in the world you make me happy. I can't wait until I leave work to come home to you and mommy that's the highlight of my day."
"Mine too."
"You know what else a real daddy does?"
"What?"
"He makes his son apologize to his mother. You hurt her feelings. I know you don't hate your mommy. Do you?"
He shook his head. "No. I was just mad."
"I know. So when mommy wakes up from her nap you'll apologize to her." I got off his bed and was heading to leave his room when he called me.
"Daddy."
"Yes, son."
"I love you."
"I love you too." I gave him a quick peck on the lips. "Are you going to help me take this down to the basement?"
"Yeah."
I picked up the box and handed it to TJ as we headed down the steps my front door opens and here is Uncle Stevie. "Hey Stevie."
"Wassup. Hi nephew."
"Hi." TJ walked by Stevie pats him on the head as he heads on down the basement.
"Where is he taking his toys? I came over here to play."
"Sorry, there will be no playing in the Evans household for 5 days."
"Wait, why?"
"Your nephew is grounded." Stevie looks around and points to area where TJ went and I just nodded my head. "Yes."
"What did he do?"
"He told mommy "I hate you", and he said some words I told him were bad."
Stevie jaw drops and TJ walks comes back up the stairs closing the door behind him. "Daddy told you."
"He did. TJ. Come here." Stevie picked him and so they could be eye level. "My nephew that hurts me hearing your daddy telling me my playing partner is grounded. Now who am I supposed to play with?"
"It's only 5 days."
"I know. So, daddy what does he have to do for 5 days? He has to do something."
"Mommy and I will talk it over and by this evening you'll know by then."
"Okay but in the meantime go read those books Grandma Mary sent you."
"Yes sir." TJ went back up the stairs.
"Good job disciplining TJ, I don't think I'd be able to do that. One look into those eyes and it's all over."
"I didn't want to do that but I had to. So, what are you going to do now since your buddy is grounded?"
"I don't know even know. I'll figure out something."
TJ's POV
Reading this book and its good let's face it it's boring I miss my toys. I shouldn't have said what I said to mommy but daddy and I having that talk made me feel better he told me what a real daddy is and after hearing all those things, he's my daddy.
"Jesus I hurt my mommy's feelings and I said two bad well three bad words I know that you already forgiven me but I won't be happy until mommy forgives me too. Amen. PS. Can you deliver this prayer to her ear like you did daddy's?"
Tank's POV
I'M BACK! Guess what? You'll have to read to find out.
"Thanks Ma for getting me up out of there. I owe you. Big time."
"You got that right. So, what did you they ask you?"
"Some questions like how long the abuse been going on?"
"What abuse?"
"That's what I'm saying but Mercedes had pictures of bruises because the last time she left remember I dropped TJ off at your house someone took her to the hospital and she had bruises on her wrist but also she had text messages too… I never laid my hands on Mercedes and she knows that. I think she's trying to stack up a case against me so she can get sole custody of my son."
"Well she did tell me…"
"What she tell you?"
"That if you hit her again she was taking TJ with her."
"She said anything about custody?"
"No. She didn't. You know. You should try for custody of TJ. You're the perfect father."
"I am. I can teach my son to be a man."
"You know I called Mercedes while you were there?"
"You did? Where is she?"
"She didn't say but TJ is with her I know that much and he's calling some other man daddy."
"The hell?! I'm daddy! I'm his real daddy. I'm the one that knocked her ass up. That makes me the daddy little dude look like me and all. She up here trying to be celibate and shit until marriage no we in a relationship you gonna offer up the goods."
"She resisted."
"Hell yeah until I got some drink in her and after that she was loose."
The doorbell rang.
"Who is this?" I looked up at the clock and it was 3 o'clock. "Ma, you want me to go it or not?"
"I got it." She said as she went and opened the door. "You? Wasn't you here last week messing with the car?"
"Yes. Is 'Cedes here?"
"No, she not!" I yelled from the top of the stairs.
"Who is that? What punk ass bitch yells from the top of the stairs? Bring your ass down here and say it in my face."
"No, he just got out I don't want him."
"Ma'am I don't give a damn. Tell his ass to come down here."
"Tank, come here!"
"Ma! I don't want to come down there."
"Why not? You all talk no fucking bite."
"No I got bite." I went down the stairs and stood behind my mother. "What?"
"Weak ass, who stands behind his mother?"
"Oh, I can get in front. You know what you look familiar like I've seen you before you look like Mercedes." I cocked my head to the side. "You her brother?"
"Yes, and I'm looking for my sister."
"I don't know where her ass is gone she left me."
"She must've had a good reason why."
"What you saying?"
"I'm saying she came to her senses finally."
"Well, if you and whenever you find your sister. Tell her that those charges she bought against me not gonna happen those fool police officers didn't Mirandize me."
"What charges she bought against you?"
"Let her tell you if you find her." I closed the door in face. "Punk ass."
A/N: Can y'all believe that?! What now?! What does this fool have up his sleeve? I'm so wrong for that. I'm just soooo wrong.
