Stevie's POV
Nice to Sam return and this time Mercedes is with him hopefully she had a talk with him or he with her about yesterday. I would love to talk to him alone with Mercedes but my parents are here. I'd wish they go out into the waiting room and play with TJ.
"Yeah, so we had a minor scare this morning, TJ wasn't in the house."
"What?"
"No, Mom, TJ just went on a walk with PawPaw which we're thankful for because I don't know what I would have done if he were to actually go missing."
"Me either. I love that boy he's my grandson I just love hearing him call me grandma. Speaking of which I think Dwight let's go out there and spend some with TJ and Sam and Mercedes spend some time with Stevie."
"Okay mom. Tell TJ I said hey. Okay." Mom gave me a kiss and daddy patted my leg and they left. "Man!"
"Glad they're gone. I love having them around but mom is starting to smother me."
"Well, you did get shot 3 times so I say let her smother you away. How's it been in here?" 'Cedes asked me fluffing up my pillows.
"Boring I can't wait to get up out of here and enjoy real food. I saw that dinner your mom made looked so good."
"Tasted good too bro."
"I bet it did Sam. Bro…" I was about to say something when I was interrupted by a knock at my door and it was Detective Sue and Detective Figgins. "Are we interrupting anything?" They asked coming in.
"No, you're not."
"Good. Oh, I'm Detective Figgins and this is Detective Sylvester." They shook Sam and Mercedes hand.
"We're wonder if we could talk to Stevie alone."
"Sure."
"Stevie we'll come back."
"Okay." They left and Detective Sylvester took the chair Sam was sitting in. "Before you ask me those questions I want to say I'm sorry for not telling you what I knew then, I wanted to handle it myself."
"Glad you didn't handle it yourself or we'd be working a homicide case for you. Now start from the beginning."
"I was staying at my brother house because he had a business trip in San Diego, Puck also stayed there too. It was his second day I believe and Puck and TJ went to Target, I stayed back with Mercedes and a few minutes later she gets a call saying that she needed to get down there. So I Drove her. I drop her off I front of the store and I went to find a parking space. Found one, headed inside and asked where the security guard office is, they showed me, and I get back there and like I said before it was a lot of cursing going on. Tank, was up in Mercedes face just yelling so Puck and I push her and TJ back and we step in front of them forming like a "v". I showed them with my hands. "He kept saying off the wall shit calling my nephew some names and eventually they left."
"So, what did you do after they left?" Figgins asked.
"We waited for like an hour the security officer said to wait and he'll make sure they leave the store and that's what we did."
"Alight."
"So after you left you drove home."
"Yeah, I drove back home and Puck stayed behind and got the game, he then returned home and once he got inside I left."
"Where did you go off to?"
"I went to that sketchy side of town I knew a friend of friend and he told me where I could get a gun."
"Okay. Was it Lucky?"
I turned to look at her. "Yeah, it was Lucky he only showed me the gun I didn't touch it or anything. Someone knocked on his door and he hit the lights. I know he didn't shoot his gun because I ran and someone yelled, "Who is that? Shoot his ass! Shoot him!, I got hit they said 3 times and I fell face down and then the person who shot me flipped me over."
"Did you see the person?"
"Yes, I played dead and they weren't wearing anything to cover their face."
"So, if we show you a lineup of people would you be able to pick?"
"Yeah." Figgins pulled out a line up and handed it to me with a pen.
"If you recognize anyone on here circle their picture."
"Okay." I looked over the pictures and I knew dude from the jump I didn't have to look at the others. "Number 3." I circled it 3 times.
"That's our guy."
"What's his name?"
"His name is Vito."
"Vito. Why did he shot me? Did he have a beef with Lucky?"
"No, it seems that you were shot because some lady said she was verbally assaulted in Target and she didn't call the cops so. Yeah."
"What made you change your mind? Some folk who are shot usually want to get revenge on whomever shot them."
"My family." I pointed to TJ's picture that was on the cork-board.
"You have a son?"
"Nephew and I love him with all of my being."
"Great. You made the right choice. So, we're going to keep you up to date. You have a good one. Mr. Evans."
"You too guys."
They left my room and I lay back on my pillow with happiness all around me but Detective Sylvester said Target. I know she didn't do this but seeing how she was acting then. I wouldn't put it past her.
Mercedes POV
Stacey and Sam had went down to the cafeteria because Sam said he was hungry I made him a huge plate I know he worked himself up an appetite but not that big of an appetite. I saw I had 2 messages 1 text the other a VM, the text was JJ telling me to secure the house, I did that and the VM was from a number I didn't know so I didn't bother it I just ignored the notification so it could stop blinking.
"Mommy look what I drew". He bought his drawing over to me. "You like it?"
"I love it. Let see what you drew, I see me, daddy, the white fence, you, who is that next to you?"
"That's my baby brother; I don't want no little sister."
"What? Little sisters are fun too."
"No they not, Gabby felt like a little sister when they stayed and she wants to do everything the boys did and she tattletales and I don't need that stress in my life."
I laughed. "Your life?"
"Yup, my life."
"Okay. Let's see what you drew in this picture, there go the house, grass and is that a dog? Is that Chew-Chew?"
"Yeah, it's a dog no it is not Chew-Chew, its Conniehey. Can we get a dog?"
I placed the picture back on the table. "TJ mommy told you we couldn't get a dog."
"Still worried about your weave? You all natural now." He patted my hair.
"That I am but that doesn't have anything to do with you not getting a dog."
"Well, it should, the dog won't eat your hair and it will make our family be complete."
"No that's not Chew-Chew the picture is our dog so our family can be complete. A family is not complete without a dog and my little brother."
"A complete family? What you know about a complete family?"
"TV."
"McConaughey?"
"Yup! I have a good memory."
"Yes, you do." Sam returned with a burger and fries and Stacey got me my Chic-fil-A lemonade and TJ one as well.
"Here you go 'Cedes. TJ."
"Thank you. Sam, really?"
"What? I'm hungry. I really worked up an appetite."
"I fixed you a big plate this morning."
"I know and it didn't fill me all the way up you put it on me."
"Again daddy?!"
"TJ." I cut Sam a look and he mouthed sorry with a mouth full of food. "Don't talk with your mouth full." I could tell he was thinking of something nasty to say. "Don't even say that. Nasty self."
"Only with you baby." I threw my hand at him.
"Stacey did you talk to Stevie for him to call the detectives back?"
"Yeah after you talked to him yesterday he told me you were pretty upset."
"I was so upset I got into a fight." Sam held up his hand and Stacey scrunched up her face.
"One brother is no longer a badass now you want to be one."
"I said the same thing last night. No, after I left I went for a drive and I ended up at this park and I ran into JJ and I told him what happened while she was with Tank and he almost blew a gasket. I couldn't let him go over there alone so I followed him. He got into a fight I came running."
"Sam, you are the OC for the Chargers you can't be out there fighting. What if this ends up on TMZ Sports or in the news?"
He took a sip of my lemonade. "I highly doubt that will happen. This is good. Why didn't I get me one I'm going back down there before we leave here."
"How you know that?"
"I covered my face, I put on a mask besides I'm newly hired most of the NFL probably don't know me."
"Sam, let this be your one and only fight. Want a fry babe, TJ?"
"Y'all can go back in there now."
"Okay. Thank you."
"Can I go back there with you?"
"Sorry TJ. No kids allowed."
"Can't even FaceTime?"
"Sorry sport grandpa took the iPad home. Got a message for Uncle Stevie?"
"Yeah, tell him that I miss him."
"I will. Here TJ you can have my fries and the rest of my burger."
I was waiting for Sam by the entrance to the ICU. "Seems that those separate talks you and Stacey had with Stevie worked."
"Yeah."
We entered Stevie's room and Sam was about to say something but Stevie held up his hand meaning he as about to speak. "Before you ask me yes, your talk was a part of it and also Stacey's talk. I wanted to act like a badass and handle it myself but thinking back to what you told me that I did I couldn't hang out with TJ." Stevie shook his head. "That would hurt him and me. Now I love you two but that's my mini-gamer VP and besides the kid beat my time I got to get back."
"That's good. Well, he hasn't been gaming in a while."
"It's because of me being in here?"
"Well, no but you are part of the reason."
"Huh? What's she's talking about Sam?"
"The playground you took him to taught him about sex."
"Yeah, just it. They called it, it. Sam told when I showed him the park the first time. I don't see anything wrong with it."
"Well, TJ got an advance course in it. He learned about jumping up and down, organisms, poo-poo, and dlong and I don't know what else on that playground he can't go back there unless Sam and I take him and seeing as he's been grounded today is day 5 or 6 for him as in days left. Grounded yes because he opened the door without telling an adult and he watched Sam and I have sex."
"Y'all doing it now! No, wonder you're happy bro. Mazel Tov!" He patted Sammy on the shoulder. "Wait so is that why Santana was beating me with her stick?"
"Yeah."
"Ugh! I didn't know. I'm sorry."
"It's good but there was a long line of folk waiting to beat you with sticks, even mom?"
"Mom? Why?"
"TJ asked her if she knew what an organism was and he told that's what you yell out when you finish it. Then she went outside and got her own stick."
"But the stick Santana had wasn't the same."
"Of course. It was hilarious too bad you couldn't have been there but you provided us with laughs for a while."
Tank's POV
"I want to thank you for showing me where he lives at my mother made a great selection when she picked you for our plot that's not going to go off at the moment. Hopefully after I get this cleared up it will."
"I know. No problem besides I want to see Sam again and rub it in his face on how he dropped this all woman right her ugly ass."
"Oh, fa' sho. So where do you want me to drop you off at?"
"The mall I'm meeting a girlfriend. Cool. I need to run in there myself to pick up a few things then make my way back home.
TJ's POV
After finding out that I couldn't go back there again and I couldn't see him on FaceTime I didn't feel like drawing no more. Aunt Stacey was reading a magazine and I was sporting my mean face with my arms crossed.
"Aren't you a cutie? What's up with the sad face?" Some lady asked me.
"I want to see my Uncle Stevie."
"Stevie Evans is your uncle."
"Yup! I haven't seen him since he got shot well I saw him one time because we FaceTime him but that's not even close."
"Well kids aren't allowed to be back there but you are too dang cute so do you mind if I take him back there."
"Sure go ahead."
"Cool." I took the nurses hand and she lead me down this long hallway with a bunch of doors. She knocked on the door.
"Come in" I heard Uncle Stevie say she opened the door and I walked in.
"What are you doing back here?! Did you sneak back here?"
"No mommy, she bought me!"
"Hi Nurse York. Thank you for bringing my nephew back here!"
"You're welcome his face was just breaking my heart and he missed his Uncle Stevie."
"Thank you Nurse York."
"Hi Uncle Stevie."
"Hi TJ."
"Can I give him a kiss or is that too germy?" I turned and asked mommy.
"It's fine." Daddy picked me up and leaned me over to Uncle Stevie. "Got it."
"Yup. So, Uncle Stevie when are you getting up out of here?"
"I don't know hopefully soon. It's boring in here. No video games or you."
"Don't seem that bad well besides, the me part. You can watch TV, I can't." I looked up the TV that was playing a commercial. This will be the only TV I see for 5 more days.
"I heard TJ you got to be good for Uncle Stevie so when I get better we can play and I'll take you to another park because I'm still traumatized from finding out Santana hit me with her stick."
"She hit you with her stick?!"
"Stevie."
"TJ."
"What?" Uncle Stevie and I said.
"Stevie we're glad you're doing much better and we're going to be heading out."
"Already?!"
"Yes, TJ. Granny been calling me non-stop so I turned off my phone so more than likely something is up. So, we have to go. Say bye to Uncle Stevie."
"Bye Uncle Stevie. I love you."
"I love you too my mini gamer VP." Uncle Stevie blew me a kiss and I caught it and I blew one back and he caught mine.
"Alright I'll see you tomorrow Stevie."
"Bye Mercedes."
"Bye baby."
Mercedes POV
"What? Mom? I just turned on my phone. I see you left me a message but I didn't get a chance to listen to it because you called me back. Okay. They did? Okay. No. Sam, TJ and I just left from visiting Stevie we'll be on our way. Bye."
"What was that about?"
"Daddy, grandpa and Uncle Julius ditched mom at the mall."
"What? Why?"
"Granddaddy probably didn't want hold granny purse no more." TJ said I turned and looked at him.
"You have been hanging around PawPaw too much he's rubbing off on you. Sam it's not funny."
"Yes, it is. TJ car high five." Sam turned his hand backwards to give TJ a car hi-five. What will these two think of next?
"They wanted to go to the casino and that's where they went. So we got to go get her and more than likely she still won't be ready when we get there. Granddaddy probably didn't want to hold granny purse no more." I repeated I turned towards the door and started laughing.
"Oh, and I couldn't laugh. TJ you got mommy in stitches."
"Woop! Woop!"
Sam dropped TJ and I off at the front entrance of the mall and we went off to find granny she had texted me the store that she was in but when I got there she wasn't there.
"Where is your granny?" I called her phone again. "Mom, where are you? Okay. Stay there. We'll be down there shortly."
"Where is she?"
"There she is. Hi granny."
"Hi baby."
"So, when did daddy and the others ditched you?"
"When I told your father to hold my purse and I held it out and he didn't take it I looked up and he and your grandfather and uncle were gone. I called them and laid them out but it went right to voicemail. So he'll get my message in a few hours.
"See I told you."
"My phone is ringing." I dug through my purse and pulled it out. "Oh it's your daddy. Yes, we are in Sears, in the ladies department. Okay. Bye."
"Daddy coming down here?"
"Yes, TJ. Mom you're almost done."
"No, I'm still shopping. You should be too."
Sam's POV
I found my way to sears and after looking over I found them in the children's department TJ spotted me and I told him to be quiet I was going to sneak up on Mercedes. Slowly I walked up behind her.
"Boo!" She jumped and hit me.
"SAM EVANS THAT'S NOT EVEN FUNNY! YOU SCARED ME!"
"I'm sorry baby. It's perfect." Shit hit me in my chest. "Come on. It is. You can stop hitting me. If you want to get back at me you can.." I whispered the rest in her ear. I pulled back to look at her expression. "You like?"
"No comment but I bet you would."
"TJ wasn't that funny what I did to mommy."
"Yes, it was funny. Is granny almost done shopping. I'm bored."
"Not yet baby. She still trying to make it rain. Daddy how about you and TJ go find something to do while I try to pull in my mother."
"Okay. Come on TJ. Let's go."
"Hey! I don't get no kiss from my men." She said I picked up TJ and we went back over to her and we gave her a kiss.
"Happy."
"Yes, I am."
"Cool, we out." I sat TJ down on his own two feet and took his hand.
"No toys! Y'all have enough already." She yelled as we left the children's department and the store.
"So, where do you want to go to? We can hit up the arcade or we can get some ice-cream?"
I looked down at TJ and he and I knew it. "Ice-cream!" We both said and ran to Cold Stone Creamy.
"That's a lot of ice cream."
"Yeah. What flavor you want?"
"I want vanilla and Reese's mixed in with mine. That's a good combo. I might have that and up it and mix cookies with mine."
"Welcome to Cold Stone how may I help you?"
"I'll take 2 one kid size and one like size of vanilla ice cream mixed with Reese's and chocolate chip cookie dough."
"Okay that'll be $12.34" I paid the lady and TJ and I watched as they made our creations. "Here you go." I grabbed the two cups and pointed in the direction of the some seats I placed the ice cream down and he climbed up on the chair I handed him his spoon.
"Spoon toast. Let's dig in."
"Do we have to tell mommy about this?"
"No, this is our secret. Just make sure you keep your clothes clean. Wait. Let me put this on you." I tucked a napkin into his shirt. "If you spill, spill on that."
"Do I need a napkin for my pants?"
"No, not if you sit on your knees. Happy you got to finally see Uncle Stevie?"
"Yeah, I am. I can't wait for him to come home."
"Me too." TJ and I were enjoying our father and son early afternoon ice-cream snack when out the corner of my eye I spotted the one person I did not care to see.
TJ's POV
Daddy and I were having a ball eating ice-cream and laughing when this lady popped up. Who the hell is she?
"Hi Sam, I miss you." This lady hugged my daddy and kissed him and sat on his lap.
"Get off my lap." He told her pushing her off.
"You don't miss me." She ran her fingers over daddy lips and rubbed her fingers through his hair.
"Hell no. Why are you still here?"
"This is a mall I can be where anywhere I want to be also I stopped by your house to see if you."
"Why did you stop by my house?"
"Just wanted to see if you really changed the locks." She then turned around to me. "Who is this little cutie? Hi."
"Hi." I said quickly.
"That is my son."
"Oh, I know your mother and she's a bitch." She said in my face.
"Woah..you not going to disrespect my wife and the mother of my son like that and you not going to say that in a child's face he's 5-years old!"
"You a bitch! Bitch! You don't know my mommy and she plays dirty!" I yelled.
"Whatever Sam, here's my new number call me if 'Cedes doesn't satisfy you. I know you miss all of this. You dropped me a dime piece that has all of her shit together for that ho. She probably still leaves you high, dry and suffering and y'all sleeping in the same bed. I could satisfy you way better."
"You have never satisfied me so why in the hell will I call you but I'm going to keep this and give it to my wife. I never went that far with you. I only went down on you and you on me and your head game is average. My wife, my girlfriend, my woman and the mother of my son head game is out of this world, she rocks my damn world she has me on cloud 9 where you thought you had me, she taste so much better and I'm so addicted to that cookie and don't let me mention our sex."
"You don't have to."
"I do and I am. Our sex is blue skies and butterflies, it's the hills come alive with the sound of music, her music the way she screams my name, the way she kisses my neck, the way she kisses me when the D is to good and she doesn't want to scream too loud so I tell her baby go ahead let yourself loose, the way the way she claws at my back and leave scratches, the way I make her moan, the way I make her feel, the happiness on her face the happiness she puts on my face when she whispers my name in my ear the fire and desire in her eyes and mine, the way she climaxes and the way I let her ride it out, you wish you had it this good you wish someone would describe their sex with you like that but you don't you are just one of the many figments of my imagination and I want you gone. Bye."
Daddy told her. "Oooh Daddy told you!" If that's sex, I can't wait to have it! She turned around and left. "BYE ASHY FELICIA!" I waved.
"TJ."
"Sorry." I laughed and continued eating my ice cream.
Mercedes POV
Somehow I coaxed my mother out of Sears but the next store she ventured into I did not want to see nor have any damn visuals.
"VICTORIA SECRET!" Come on!" She grabbed me by my hand and pulled me inside. "Wouldn't your daddy like this?"
"I don't know is that his color."
"'Cedes I'm buying this for your daddy for me to wear."
"Okay. I don't even want to think about that." I put my head in my face and shook trying to block the images that were trying to seep through my tightly closed eyes.
"Well your father was trying to block the visual of his daughter having sex with Sam this morning. TJ told us about the locked door."
"Yes, we have a lock on our door so we won't be disrupted and this morning Sam and I decided to have sex."
"Your father and I were in the house not to mention your uncle, grandpa, and cousin."
"Sam is my husband…I mean sorry boyfriend slip of the words. So yeah he's my boyfriend, his house and we did it. Did you forget that I'm a grown woman with a 5 year old son?
"No, I haven't. I just thought that you'd at least wait until we were gone or at least out of the house."
"I wanted it at that time, I needed it so I got it. You can look around I'm going to go over there."
Tank's POV
I was walking through the mall looking in the stores and I spotted a woman that looked like Mercedes. I stopped and waited for her to turn so I could see her face.
"That's that bitch." I ran up in the store and slowly crept up behind her. "Hi Mercedes." She turned around jumped. "Where the fuck is my son?!"
A/N: O...M…G! WHAT DO YOU THINK IS GOING TO HAPPEN GUYS? I'm going to bed. It's 3:39 AM.
