A/N: 4:45 AM and I think this is chapter 54. I'm losing count here myself. That breakdown Sam gave to the guys on point I don't know where that came from I love that I wrote it. TJ finally learned his lesson! YES! What stress does a 5 year old got in his life? Lol I tweeted something back on April 25th that said 4, 5, 6 more chapters and I'd be done with this story here we are May 16th and I'm not done yet. I was trying to bust out 3 chapters for y'all but the itis hit me. Damn burgers and crabs. I was chatting it up with monni2215 in my PMs and she asked me how am I going to end this. Answer: _?

Any errors I'll come back and fix. I'm a stickler about that. I've fixed chapters 1-4 the rest I'll do later.

CHAPTER 55 WILL IN THE WORKS...slowly.

Happy Reading (:

JJ's POV

Sam lit a fire under our ass as he rightly should have we've been relaxed in our ways but finding out that we have to step up our game. Puck and I are in the study looking the potential security guards.

"I'm so pissed off that you, got the names you, me nor Lucky, had the chance to talk to the guys who shot me." I looked up from the questions I was writing down.

"Me too had found them that day maybe just maybe they'd still be alive. You know this got Tank all over it."

"Yeah 2 to the chest speaks volumes, let's get back to this security guard search. You like him?" I picked up a profile handing it to Puck.

"Shane Tinsley he might be good. Put him in the potential pile. What about an Azimio Adams?"

"He looks good. Potential pile. Dave Karofsky?"

"Nah put him in the deny bucket. That's a bad storm out there." I lifted the blinds and lightning just illuminated the sky.

"Yeah it is. How about Sam getting on us earlier?"

"I never seen Sam go off like that before but he had a right to. We've been sharing what we want to. Now everything we know must be out in the open. Does that mean we have to tell Stacey and other family?"

"Stacey I can see but I don't know about the rest of them, Sam and Mercedes are pretty private people when it comes to them. They're a semi-open book. I had to fish out the wedding myself you see she didn't rightly tell me."

"Has she always been like that?" Puck asked tossing down the binder going over to the computer. We've been trying for the longest to log on to that spy website with no luck.

"No not always when she started dating in secret that's how I found out she said it was a summer fling with Sam and then some other guy and Tank."

"Did you ever get the chance to size up Tank?"

"No. I wasn't there when she bought him by the house she and my dad had it out I laid my eyes on my sister for the first time last week."

"Really?"

Puck looked up from the screen I nodded my head. "Yeah and it was the best thing ever before I saw her I would sometimes search for her house which I found out is Tank's house."

"How did your parents take the news of knowing that Mercedes was pregnant?"

"I didn't know. They were tight lipped about it. I didn't find out until my cousin and I went by Tank's house but let's face you know 'Cedes was probably paying the bills footing everything anyway I saw this bike outside this little kids bike and it hit me she got a kid. I went back home I told them about TJ and then they told me. 5 years after he was born."

"Why they wait so long?"

"I guess they were upset a shame or something but that's half of it, you know my sister was waiting until she got married to do that with her husband."

"Yeah I know she held out on Sam only to give it up to Tank."

I shook my head. "She didn't give anything up he took it. He got her drunk one night and had his way with her he told her he used a condom but he didn't, next she's pregnant she did everything on her own Lamaze classes, appointments, the night she went into labor with TJ, Tank put her on mute so she was alone and afraid." Puck was tearing up. "She was in labor for 27 to 30 some odd hours and there was TJ after TJ was born he decides to show up."

"JJ, I'm highly pissed but I've reached a new level in pisstivity I don't even know if that's a word but dammit to me it is. Do you know if he ever laid hands on TJ?"

"We asked but she didn't answer he probably did that alone makes me want to just cut his dick off now I know coming from a guy that's weird but yeah."

"Okay, did you have a talk with Quinn 'cause she said the same damn thing except hers was worse."

"How bad?"

"You really want to know?" He asked me I nodded my head. "Okay, she's said she get a knife and stick.."

"Okay. No I'm good."

"No…you said you wanted to hear it and she went on to say that she'd cut it off." I jumped up covering his mouth he was now laughing.

"What's so funny?" I looked up at Stevie was at the door. "I want to laugh too."

I sat back down. "Not after hearing that you'd more than likely be nursing it and cringing."

"No I won't. Tell me." He sat down with anticipation to hear this.

"Fine. Quinn wants to cut off Tank's dick with a knife but first she wants to stick the tip in and…"

"HEY! No…No! I'm good. Why would she say that?!" His legs were crossed. "Why? Got me cringing. I want to go to the bathroom and check on him."

"It all started weeks back you were in the hospital all of us sat around the table thinking of torture stories. It was awesome. Since y'all weren't there I think y'all need to tell me what we would you do to Tank last time we included his mother because she was in the mix but she's out of it. What would you do to Tank?"

"How would I torture Tank? That's a good question. I'd find the biggest burly man and throw him at him tell him he's yours do what you want to do and then I'd record it and send it to his family and friends but I'd have to make sure there are more than one guy so they can pass him around like a tic-tac."

"Wow! Stevie that's pretty far out there that's torture alright." He laughed clapping his hands. "Well, I'd stab him then I'd pour salt in his wounds and then peroxide and then I'd repair it with burning metal from a fire but each stab wound would be different procedure of healing."

"What y'all doing in here?" Stacey asked coming into the room kicking Puck out his chair.

"Giving our torture stories about what we'd do to Tank. What would you do Stacey?"

"Seeing as I have built up quite a collection with my bug spray. I'd spray with all if it because he's a bug, an annoying big ass bug. I see y'all finally getting down to going through the security guards. What made this happen?"

"Sam." We all said.

"What happened?"

She asked. "Remember that drawing you showed me of TJ in the park running away from Tank."

"Yeah."

"It happened today."

Her jaw dropped she slowly turned her head. "NO!"

"Yes, it happened he wasn't hurt or nothing he seems fine like it didn't affect him but red flags went up because Sam found out that Tank wasn't served his TRO."

"Did y'all tell him?"

"No, he asked the police officer who came by Rachel house to talk to the boys and he made him check twice first time he said he was second time, he wasn't served. We all knew accept Puck and he jumped on our backs about that. He broke it down like this. He's the President, 'Cedes is the First Lady, TJ is the First Kid, and that would probably make you Stacey the Chief of Staff and the rest of the family has different titles but yeah. He was serious we." I pointed from myself, Puck and Stevie. "Have until Sunday to get Mr. Evans his security detail."

"Y'all think it was Tank?"

I rubbed my face. "I highly doubt it I mean he sent 2 guys here to shoot me then Vito with Stevie so he has other people doing his dirty work he's just calling the shots. The day will come when he'll have to get dirty himself and he's going to leave some dirt behind. Stacey since us guys are taking care of this, do you mind calling these people tomorrow. We're going to be conducting interviews all day."

"Here or off-site? Who are the guys?

"Azimio Adams and Shane Tinsley or the only two so far. We haven't even thought about on-site or off? What you think?"

"I think it should be off-site give Sam, Mercedes and the kids the house because we've invaded them. I don't think they've had the house alone since her parents left."

"But you're supposed to call the people."

"I still am but I'm going home to take care of that more than likely they can't come out on a Saturday to look at it probably it's going to be at a later date. I'm going back to bed y'all should be getting to bed too."

"Night Stacey."

"Night guys."

"Look, let's do some more searching and think of a few more questions then we'll go to bed. Stevie you heard the story about how TJ was conceived. Right?

"Nah...

"Well this is how it happened..."

Sam's POV

"Sam you still up." Mercedes whispered.

"Yeah baby. Can't sleep?"

"Yeah. Can we talk?"

"Sure let's go over to the couch don't want to wake up the boys."

"So, what is it you want to talk about?" I asked as we sat down I pulling the throw over us.

"TJ and the park getting that phone call today from Rachel it really, really scared me. It don't seem like it affected him because he bounced right back but it really got me. I'm kind of glad it thunderstorm tonight and he and Logan got in bed with us."

"Me too I wanted to cry when I got the word but you did that for the both of us. That's one call no parent wants to get that their child almost got taken off a playground. Playgrounds are suppose to be safe but then again not so much you don't know who is lurking about out there just watching your kids. We don't want to shelter TJ because he's going to have to go out especially with him starting school in a few weeks. Have you had the stranger danger talk with him?" I asked rubbing small circles on her back.

"Once he was 4 he wanted to play hide and seek in the clothes while I was shopping. Whew! I really thought someone had ran off with him but when he popped out from in between the pants. I was happy to see him but when we got home I got him good."

"Part 2."

She laughed lightly. "Oh, yeah and once he calmed down we had a talk about staying next to mommy and strangers and don't talk to anyone if you get lost looking for a mother with kids or someone in a uniform. If someone comes up to you saying do you want candy or help me find my dog don't go with them. So he knows but I think we need to do a refresher course. Do you think he's having any more dreams and is just not telling us?"

"I don't think so he has his guardian angels Uncle Finn and Meemaw he told me they keep his bad dreams away. The bad dreams defenders coming in to save the night!" I pumped my fist into the air.

"The BDD always around. How did it feel today seeing your baby?"

"The same way I felt when I first laid eyes on TJ, love at first sight. I didn't tell you this but I made a promise to his picture that I would help the both of y'all out. I've kept my word here we are married. Boop!" I tapped her nose then took her hand interlocking them with mine.

"You did that at prom."

"I did, you remember that?"

"Of course I do. You didn't get to tell me about the rest of your talk with Puck because our phones went off and that ended that."

I sighed. "Puck was upset that we didn't tell him about us getting married along with T-A-N-K-S B-A-B-Y scare that you are no longer pregnant."

"Seriously I mean we are family but."

"I know. I told him that we are family but you and I we're a semi-open book we'll share some of our personal lives but not all I know they love us and care but somethings need to be kept between husband and wife. When I took our vows I vowed to love, honor, and obey you, not love, honor, and obey Puck, Kurt, Blaine, Santana, Rachel, Quinn, and Artie." We kissed. "That right there was a mouthful."

"I know baby it was. Did he say anything about the 2 guys that came here to try to kill my brother?"

"Yeah, he told me he got the names."

She looked at me surprised. "That's great baby we have names they can go and talk to them. Why aren't you happy?"

"Honey, they're…."

I was about to tell her that well you know but was interrupted by TJ calling out for Mercedes. "Mommy."

"Over here TJ. What's wrong baby?"

"My tummy hurts." He said crying rubbing his stomach.

"Aunt 'Cedes."

"Over here Logan." She called out to him and he too came over crying rubbing his stomach. "Tummy ache?" He nodded his head. "Do you have to…"

"RrrhhhaaaaaaallllllllllkkkkkkHLEEAAHHHurkurkBLLEAAHH"

"Throw up?" She finished and both started crying. "Sam, go get me a trash bag, we're going to need a mop, and fresh changed of pajamas for both." She got off the couch leading them to our bathroom I went ran downstairs to get the items she needed.

"Trash bag, mop, I need some water for the bucket and some cleaning stuff. Where is the cleaning stuff?" I banged out a beat on the cabinet door.

"Sam, what are you doing with a trash bag and a empty mop bucket at this hour?"

"TJ and Logan threw up Stacey and Mercedes need these for clean up? You know where the cleaning stuff is at? It usually is in this cabinet under the sink but it's not."

She went over to the other cabinet. "That's because mom moved it." She poured a little in the bucket and put it back in the right place. "Need my help?"

"No, I should be good." I ran back upstairs to the room I set down the mop and bucket walking into the bathroom. "Here is the trash bag."

"Thanks." She took the trash bag putting in their soiled pajamas she tied it up placing the bag by the door. TJ and Logan were sitting on the bed both wrapped up in towels.

"Y'all feel better?" I touched their forehead and mine. "No temperature. That's good. Tummies okay?" They just nodded their heads. "That's good."

"Sam, where is the water in the bucket?!"

"It is water in the bucket." She bought the bucket over to me sitting it down. "I thought I put water in there. Geez..."

"Of course you did!" Stacey came into the room with fresh pair of pajamas and a bucket this time filled with water. "Here you go Mercedes. Sam do you want me to mop?"

"Yeah, I'm going to help Mercedes."

"Okay." We got the boys changed settled back in bed I ran back down to kitchen to get some water just in case they ask for some a little while later.

"I'm done. You want me to put these in the washer 'Cedes?"

"Yes, please. Thank you Stacey."

"Thank you Aunt Stacey." I said closing the door behind her joining them back in bed. "So, we're going to watch a movie because at this hour there is nothing on TV. We're watching Beethoven." I hit up Netflix playing the movie about 40 minutes TJ and Logan asked for something to drink another 20 minutes the laughter had ceased them both along with Mercedes were both sleep. I couldn't get back to sleep so I went to my study only to find JJ knocked out sleep.

"Sam, is that you?" JJ asked me stretching and yawning.

"Yeah, it's me." I moved the boxes from my chair sitting down. "I see you fell asleep in here."

"Yeah, Puck, Stevie and I were up late looking through the profiles of security guards the company sent over earlier in the week they headed to their rooms like an hour ago."

"Okay, did anyone stand out to y'all?"

"We have a few, Azimo Adams, Dave Karofsky we cut him at first but we thought why not, and Shane Tinsley so those are going to be the 3 we interview today. We're meeting them off-site so the house can be just you and your little family."

"Thanks."

"What are you doing up? It's pretty early."

"The boys threw up so it took sometime cleaning up then we watched a movie and they dosed off I'm in here to reprint the TRO paperwork for Mercedes."

"They slept with y'all last night?"

"Yeah thunderstorm."

"Wasn't it kind of crowded? I know it had to suck when they threw up."

"No, in all actuality it was quite comfy and cozy throw up was nothing. Practice for the future. Did y'all get in touch with the gate company?" I looked throw a spiral notebook that had pages and pages of questions.

"Stacey is taking care of that." I held up the spiral notebook. "Mine."

"You got a lot of questions to ask them."

"I want it to be done right. Well I'm going to my room. Morning 'Cedes." He gave her a kiss on the cheek.

"Morning JJ."

"I'll see you guys later I'm going to bed."

"Is everything okay with the boys?" I was about to get up she gently pushed me back in my seat sitting down.

"They're fine. I was asleep but I woke up to check on the boys and you were gone I figured you came down here before TJ and Logan threw up you were in the process of telling me some good news about the two guys who shot JJ."

I painstakingly sigh. "Baby it's not good news. The two guys Anthony and Raymond, well they're dead." She covered her mouth gasping. "2 shots to the chest."

"They're dead?" I shook my head. "Okay this is too much. I know Tank was a little crazy but not this crazy. He's gone overboard. Dead?! He already tried to kill Stevie, my brother who is next?"

"Mommy…"

A/N: Did I leave y'all hanging with that? If so...sorry. Hehehehe. Good Morning! Catch these Zzzs. 4:52 AM
