Sam's POV
We arrived home TJ and Logan ran off to the game room 'Cedes headed on upstairs not speaking to JJ, Puck or Stevie who were sitting in the living room.
"Is everything okay? What's Logan doing here?"
"Puck, Logan is spending the night actually he's spending the whole week with us and I'll fill you in once I talk to 'Cedes. As far as dinner can y'all order some pizzas and wings a few sodas or y'all can go out get it. It's up to y'all."
"How many pizzas?"
"Make it 4 pizzas extra large." I pulled out my wallet handed over sixty bucks. "That should cover it and if delivered tip the driver. I'm heading on up once done I'm talking to you 3 next if you're still here. I'm going up now." I headed upstairs to the master bedroom 'Cedes was sitting on the bed crying once she saw me she stood up.
"So, what were you talking to the cops about?"
"While y'all were upstairs waking up TJ and Logan I thought about your restraining order I just wanted to make sure that it was served with you thinking about what my mother said and I too thinking about it I asked. I asked twice, first time he said it was and I made him check again can't be too sorry to do that. He checked and it wasn't served."
Her jaw dropped open. "W-What? N-Now this? This is too…too much in one day. TJ and this I don't even even know where to b-begin. So-So that means Tank can just freely c-come here. That more than likely could have been him and and…"
"Shh…Shh…baby." I pulled her into my embrace. "We're going to redo this and I'm going to nag them until his ass is served."
"But-But what if t-they d-don't."
"Don't think about that they better get it right or I'm going to take matters into my own hands I'll be standing before that judge again. No one, I repeat no one messes with my family. I'll go above and beyond even if that means me no longer being here."
"Sam no don't, don't say that. I can't imagine going on w-without you it'll be too hard if t-that happens."
"I don't want it to come to that but if it does at least I went out protecting the ones I love." I pulled back and lifted her chin with my hand I leaned forward gently kissing her on the lips.
"S-Sam you're scaring me talking like that."
"Sorry if I am but I mean that wholeheartedly I don't want to miss anything but that's what I'd do. I would. I love you too much for harm to come to you, TJ, or this one. Messed up how our day started so good and this like your mother say, "The devil is busy", so we're going to pray and turn this over to God. Okay." She nodded her head and I took her hand we bowed our heads. "Lord, Your Word declares that you will shield and protect your children from the power of the evil one. Everything is in your hands. I ask you, in the Name of Jesus, to shield my wife and me, support us with you everlasting arms and drive the enemy away. Father, I entrust my children to you. They are your gifts to us. I ask you to surround TJ and the baby with your presence, and to shield them. Cover us all with the power of the blood of Jesus I ask You, Father, to expose and destroy the schemes that the enemy has planned against us. Assign your holy angels to guard and protect my family according to your perfect will. Lord Jesus, I thank you for your protection. By faith I receive your protection for my family. In Jesus name we pray. Amen."
"Amen." She sighed. "I feel better."
"That's good to hear so do I how about we go down to the game room and join in on the fun with TJ and Logan maybe you and I can team up against them. You like?"
"Yeah but I want to change my clothes first." Kool-Aid smile etched across my face. "No Sam, we did it last night three times you got it in good. I'm going to change. I'll be down." She kissed me and my smile was gone. "Man I knew I should have waited to offer it up." I changed my clothes and as I was about to enter the game room Puck, Stevie, and JJ all come in.
"You would get a free pizza." JJ said.
"I worked my charm." Steve smiled. "I mean who can deny me."
"A lot of folks."
"Shut up Sam you jealous."
"Of what?" I held up my left hand. "Committed. Anyway I want to talk to y'all before we eat. 'Cedes and the boys are in the game room. So lets' go outside. After you guys." I closed the door behind me.
"What is it?"
"Something happened at the park today with TJ, remember that picture he drew Stevie."
"Yeah, the one of him on the park and he was running…No."
I nodded my head biting my lip. "Yeah, it did but Rachel told him to yell no and he ran to her but I also found out today that my wife restraining order wasn't served. That could have been Tank." I said and Puck was about to roll out. "Puck! Back here! Come on Puck!" He groaned walking back. "I need to know if any of you knew about this and didn't tell me that her restraining order wasn't served." JJ and Stevie raised their hands. "When did you find out was this before or after your visit to Lucky house?"
"How you know about that?"
"Mercedes told me why didn't you call and tell me the both of you have my number I'm only a phone call away. I had to find out today by asking a police officer who told me in on breath that he was served and in the next breath he wasn't. Anything could have happened to TJ. Imagine if he was taken today, Mercedes and me find out that after he's taken he wasn't served and y'all knew all along."
JJ rubbed his head. "Sorry bro."
"I know JJ but we have to communicate and Stevie you didn't call me after you talked to Lucky while you were in the hospital I'm still waiting on this call." He shrugged his shoulders. "We have to communicate better with each other."
"You of all people talking about communication and you get married on the low." He rolled his eyes.
"Puck…now is not the time to bring that up. If you want to talk about my secret marriage to my wife we can do so after this besides I want to talk to you alone anyway. Where in the hell were you when 'Cedes, TJ, and I came back from his interview? You can answer that later. When we talk? What's going on with the hiring of security, surveillance have y'all looked into this?"
"No."
"Why not? What's the hold up?" I tossed my hands up in frustration. "JJ you stayed back to be protection for your sister, Puck you too, Stevie your gaming buddy I can't do all by myself that's why you guys are here. On top of me being the husband, father, I'm a coach I have meetings, practices, work-outs. Let me put it like this. I'm the President, 'Cedes is the First Lady, and TJ is the First Kid, y'all my secret service and as of this moment you are failing the First Family of the Evans Casa. Y'all got to be on it. It's Friday evening y'all got all night, tonight, all day Saturday and part of Sunday to give me my families security detail. Y'all got it."
"Yeah, we got it."
"Are you sure?" They all looked at each other.
"Yeah, understand what you mean. We've been doing our own thing I'm sorry Sam we just want to crack it ourselves."
"I don't mind that at all but you still need to hire professionals." I threw my hand up and shook my head.
"Okay."
"Good, Stevie and JJ y'all good y'all can go." Stevie and JJ gave me dap going inside the house. "Let's talk Puck. I meant to talk to you when I returned home early in the week but I didn't get a chance to seeing as I had to make my way back to San Diego I have 2 questions. The first questions is what did y'all talk about while 'Cedes, TJ and I were at his school and the second is where did you go?"
"All of us got together and we had a powwow we let everything out that each of us knew and in the process of letting things I learned somethings. You're married! Why didn't you tell me when I asked you?"
"'Cedes didn't want to tell anyone and at the time neither did I we had a reason." I looked down at my wedding band.
"I know I heard you reason by the way I love it but you still should have told us. We are a family I told Kurt."
"I know you told Kurt because Rachel told us which means everyone knows Santana called my phone more than likely praying in Spanish." I pulled out my phone seeing I have messages from all the ND family. I put it back in my pocket. "I know we're family but being as family we don't share all of our business Mercedes and I are pretty private people we'll share some but not all. We're a semi-opened book." He nodded his head in agreement. "So, what else did y'all talk about?"
"About her not being pregnant no more that you should have told us."
"I agree but her folks came that day or the next day and Stevie came out of his coma when we found out so, we've been pretty busy ourselves."
"Okay I have one question for you have any of your swimmers knocked one out of the park." He smirked, looking directly into my eyes, waiting for my response.
I laughed. "No comment enough about me and my little family. Where did you go?"
"You know Lucky." He asked as we continued on our walk.
"I met him once. Why?"
"Well, he came by here on that day and he shared some information with us. I helped myself to Mercedes phone I found a number for him, him as in Tank, I called him and he gave up the two guys names that shot JJ."
"You got names?!" I stopped walking and he turned back.
"Yeah, I got names but don't get too happy he thought I was Lucky and Lucky and I went in search of these guys but come to find out we were too late getting to them and they're both dead."
My jaw dropped. "Oh my goodness."
"Yeah they said it was gang related but this has Tank all over it. I don't know how but it does. I haven't talked to Lucky in a few days so more than likely he's getting information."
"Speaking of Lucky do you trust him like I said I only met him once so."
"Yeah, I trust him he's actually not a bad guy, he told me how he met Tank and how he despises him and hearing that he's good in my book. He had some hiccups but don't we all."
"We do. Killed them?" I asked scratching my head.
"Yeah 2 to the chest both of them like JJ so this is Tank related. Don't know if he did it himself or if he hired someone. Also, JJ and I went by 'Cedes house she didn't know we just came back with some items of hers that were left behind she doesn't want to go through them now maybe later."
"Okay. Hopefully she will."
"So, where did you and 'Cedes go off to?"
"We just spent quality time together alone time, walking, talking, saw a picture."
"Like last night." He hit me on the shoulder. "All I'm going to say is if you haven't hit one out of the park yet, I know you did last night. I haven't heard so many I'm cummings in a night. I'm glad TJ was out of the room, knowing you probably did it in front of him." He said laughing my hand was over my face I peeked over. "No. You did?"
"One…well twice. Our very first time, he was in the bed but we were in the bathroom and the second time was this week when she was handling business. Yeah. I totally forgot about TJ there. I just had to. Thankfully he didn't wake up because I don't think I'd have an explanation of why those were exposed and my hand was there."
Puck held up his hand. "I don't need to hear about it. I heard it last night. Let's go get some grub."
Mercedes POV
"TJ and Logan turn off the game or pause it pizza finally cooled off enough. Come on. Pause that game. Now."
"Mommy."
"TJ. Pause it." He groaned finally pausing the game. Come on wash hands then to the table. Don't shake your hands on the floor that's nasty. JJ give them a paper towel. Thank you." I took off 2 paper plates. "TJ what kind of pizza you want we have pepperoni, cheese, sausage and chicken."
"Cheese."
"Logan?"
"Cheese Auntie."
"Okay two cheese pizzas, y'all want chicken strips?"
"Yes."
They both said the door opened I felt two strong hands grab me around my waist. "Sam, where were you?"
"I had a talk with the guys. Need any help preparing their plates?" He kissed me on my shoulder.
"No, not with their plates but you can get their drinks."
"Alright. TJ, Logan. What y'all want? Soda, apple, cranberry, lemonade, pink lemonade or grape?" He asked opening up the refrigerator.
"Can we have soda?" Logan asked.
"Does your mommy let you drink soda Logan?"
"No. She doesn't."
"Then no soda. Pick one of the others."
"I'll have lemonade."
"TJ?" Sam asked.
"I'll have the same."
I sat down their plates both went for their pizza I pulled their plates back. "Y'all can't just eat. Y'all forgot to say grace."
"Oh." They singsong. "God is great and God is good, and we thank him for our food; By his hand we must be fed, Give us Lord, our daily bread. Amen."
"Amen. Where is Stacey?" I asked.
"Oh, off to buy some RAID she found another bug." Stevie said grabbing him two more slices of pizza. "She said the bug spawned a mini self." He laughed going into the game room.
"Baby sit down I'll fix your plate. Tell me what kind of pizza you want and drink?"
I sat down at the table. I'll take, a pepperoni and a cheese, some strips and my drink lemonade."
"Coming right up."
"TJ, wipe your mouth. Logan you too. Y'all got sauce all the way over there on both of y'all cheeks. So, to let you both know. You will not be in the game room all night or all day. There are other fun things to do around the house." Sam sat down my plate. "Thank you baby."
"So, we can't go into the game room after dinner?"
"After dinner, bath and I think we should do S'mores. How about that?!"
"YAY!"
"It must be a bug problem in this area all the stores hardly had any RAID." Stacey said coming into the house. "But I got mine." She did a little dance holding up 2 two bags of RAID over the pizza boxes. "Ohh pizza."
"Wash your hands move them bags from top of the pizza!"
"No wonder they all out! Look at what you got there!" Stevie pulled a can of RAID. "Roach Spray?!"
"You might never know could be! Besides spritz them and BAM meet my size 7.5."
"Aunt Stacey is loco en la cabeza."
"What Logan?" Sam asked.
"SHE'S CRAZY IN THE HEAD!" Puck yelled. "TJ taught me!" He gave TJ a high-five.
"Logan where you learn that from?" I asked.
"My brother." He pointed to TJ giving him a high-five. After dinner Stevie and Stacey cleaned up, Puck and JJ were off doing their thing, TJ and Logan were back in the game room after taking their baths. Leaving Sam and I alone snuggling on the couch.
"So, did you tell them about TJ's incident?"
"Yeah, I did. Puck was about to go off and do Lord knows what more than likely with Lucky."
"Who is this Lucky person? I know he knows Stevie and JJ met him now Puck. Have you meet him?"
"Yeah, I met him. He came to visit Stevie and we ran into each other."
"Is he a good guy? I don't want just anyone one involved with our family. We have kids."
"He's good. Puck stamp of approval that says a lot coming from Puck." Sam's phone alarm went off my phone alarm went off all of phone alarms went off. "What is that?" He looked his phone. "Oh. The Weather Channel app, storms coming. So no S'mores I think we need to get the boys off the system." Sam helped me up off the couch and we went into the game room.
"I beat you Mustache head! YES! Payback for hitting my daddy on Rainbow Road."
"That's right get 'em TJ!"
"Is it time for S'mores auntie?"
"No baby. It's a storm coming so, we need to turn this off. Y'all can play tomorrow besides it's ten o'clock way past both of y'all bedtimes." Sam turned off the TV and game system upstairs we went to TJ's room.
"But it's summer."
"I know but school will soon be starting and we have to get you on a sleep routine."
"School, yuck. Auntie what school is TJ going to? I want him to go to my school." Logan asked as they sat on TJ's bed.
"TJ got accepted into Rosemont Christian Academy. Praise!"
"He did! I go to that school so does Ian."
"And Gabby too." Sam looked up from his phone. "I just read Santana's text and she prayed for me in Spanish it's a 10 minute voice message. Alright guys, night prayers."
Both of them got on their knees "Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep, thy angels watch me through the night, And keep me safe till morning's light. Amen. God Bless my brother Logan.
"God Bless my brother TJ."
"What about your father, mother, aunts and uncles?"
"Oh…yeah." They bowed their heads bought their hands together. "And y'all too."
"Logan and TJ, y'all both got jokes. Do it right." Sam was laughing I wasn't. "Sam it isn't funny."
"And...Mommy, Daddy, Uncle Kurt, Uncle Blaine, Uncle Artie, Aunt Brittany, Aunt Santana, Uncle JJ, Aunt Quinn, Uncle Puck, Uncle Stevie Aunt Rachel, Conniehey, and my baby brother. Amen."
"And Mommy, Uncle Puck, Aunt Stacey, Uncle Blaine, Uncle Artie, Uncle Kurt, Uncle JJ, Aunt Santana Aunt Brittany, Uncle Stevie, Aunt Mercedes, Uncle Sam, Aunt Quinn. Amen."
They finally did it right with aunts and uncle names over lapping one another hopefully all of their names were called if not God knows them. "Night my little gamers."
"Night Daddy. Kisses good night from Uncle Sam."
"Night Uncle Sam."
"Night my babies."
"Night mommy." Kisses good night from me.
"Night Aunt 'Cedes." Sam turned off the light to our bedroom we went.
TJ's POV
"TJ since I'm spending the night maybe we can watch Aunt 'Cedes and Uncle Sam do it again."
"No. Not me not tonight."
"Huh?"
I sat up in my bed. "Last time I went to the park Gabby got me in trouble bringing more stress to my life."
"How?"
"She learned something at her park and she wanted to teach JT, Simon and me. But JT was still punished from last time and she said about munchycarpet or carpetmunch and she told mommy that I wanted to know. Mommy popped both of us in our mouths and said we'd get a part 2 of the part 1. I already got a part 2 this week I'm trying to make it the only one. Don't mention it."
"I won't. I don't want a Part 2 and I don't even know what it is." Lightning flashed thunder rumbled we both jumped.
"L-Logan y-you like l-lightening and t-thunder?"
"No-No. Y-You?"
"No." The lightening flashed again and the thunder rumbled we both jumped. "You t-thinking w-what I'm thinking?"
He nodded his head we ran out my room yelling. "Mommy. Daddy."
"Aunt 'Cedes, Uncle Sam." We ran to their room jumping in bed.
"What's wrong?" Mommy asked as the thunder rumbled again me and Logan hid under the covers.
"Thunder."
"Lightning."
"It's not bad? It's just." Daddy said as the next round of thunder and lightning sounded like it hit something. "TV off." Daddy hit the TV and mommy got the light only light was from the lightning flashing the room Logan and I were still hiding under the covers so it was Logan, me, and daddy. Mommy was humming something.
"Mommy what are you humming?"
"It's a song called Order My Steps."
"Can you sing it to us?" Logan asked both of us peeking our heads from under the covers.
"Sure but y'all have to come from under the covers."
For mommy to sing to us to sleep we both quickly came from under the covers. "Humbly I asked thee teach me your will, while you are working help me be still, Satan is busy God is real, order my steps in your word, please order my steps in your word. Order my steps in your word dear lord lead me, guide me every day Send your anointing father I pray Order my steps in your word please order my steps in your word".
Sam's POV
Watching 'Cedes sing TJ and Logan to sleep was beautiful and she topped it off with another kiss for both of them. "They're sleep. You want me to take them back to TJ's room." I whispered.
"No. Practice because this could happen one day in the future 2 or more kids in our bed." She adjusted the covers around them. "Night daddy."
"Night mommy." I lay back on my pillow watching Logan and TJ's little chests rise and fall with each and every breath and she's right this could happen in the future. I hope it does. I looked over at her and smiled.
Tank's POV
"So, that was TJ at the park. He yelled no and some little kid tossed a blue ball at you and you fell." I laughed. "It's not funny fuck it's funny to me anyway the gig is yours for now better not screw it up or you'll end up like the other two."
