Mercedes POV
"Thaddeus Joshua Evans, you have to the count of one to unlock this door or I'm packing up Logan's belongings and calling Aunt Rachel to come get him." I already had my phone in hand was one second away from following through on my word.
"TJ unlock the door I don't wanna go home! I'm having too much fun!" I heard click of the lock the door opened. "Aunt 'Cedes TJ's over there."
Logan pointed to the other side of the couch. "Come here." He peeked out from behind the couch popping back down I walked over to him. "Didn't I tell you to come here?"
"Y-Yes."
"Why didn't you?" I helped him up stooping down on to his level.
"I don't want to get in trouble."
"You are already there Thaddeus I told you that night it wasn't a good book for you to listen to and when I caught you watching it while you were supposed to be taking your nap I said the same that's why I took and hid your iPad for the rest of that day. Why did you watch the video after I told you not to Thaddeus? How did you know where I put it?"
"I found your hiding spot I just wanted to hear daddy's voice that's all mommy."
Giving me his puppy dog eyes I sighed smiling. "You just wanted to hear daddy's voice?" He nodded his head. "Mommy can't get you for that." I pulled him into a hug. "But what I can get you for is having your iPad when I took it from you for the rest of the day. No iPad for a whole week minus story time with daddy."
"Okay."
"Is everything good in here?" Sam asked peeking into the game room.
I stood up. "Yeah, everything is good, you and Logan go wash your hands and sit at the table daddy and I will be out shortly."
"Okay. Come on Logan I'll race you."
Sam walked over to me. "Yeah everything is good? No, Part 1s or Part 2s, or timeouts?"
"No."
"What was his reason for watching the video?"
"He just wanted to hear his daddy's voice." I said meekly shrugging my shoulders. "I couldn't with that response and his puppy dog eyes."
"Me either. It's going to be over soon and I'll be back before you know it then the season starts our opener is a home game."
"I know. We made it through week 1 with only one incident week 2 starts when you leave Sunday evening."
"Yeah, hopefully we'll make it through that week with no incidents. Come on let's get to breakfast and have family fun with the boys." He took my hand leading us to the kitchen. "Are y'all hands cleaned?"
"Yup!"
"So, what are we doing today?"
"Mommy is getting a new phone so we'll be going out for that and maybe we can go to the toy store! You guys like that?"
"Yes! Toy store! Toys!" TJ and Logan shouted in victorious triumph.
"More toys, Sam. Doesn't TJ have enough toys as it is?"
"You can never have enough toys Auntie."
JJ's POV
"So, do I show up every morning and go home?" He asked looking over the contract which everything he asked about was in there.
"Hell no this is live-in. There's guesthouse out back for your privacy, you okay with that?"
"Yeah, so who is my client?" He took a bite of his sandwich washing it down with some orange juice.
"Mercedes Jones."
"Ain't she a singer she dropped album and that was that she did Hell 2 the No on the Grammy's." He really said Hell 2 the No with sass side-eye.
"Yeah, that's her."
"So she has an issue with the guy that called her phone or do you three have the issue because she should be the one here conducting this interview."
"No we all have an issue with his ass besides her husband asked us to take care of this." Puck pointed from himself, Stevie, and me.
"Husband?" He coughed getting choked on his drink. "She's married?! Damn I thought I'd at least have a chance to woo her so she and I can make cocoa babies."
"I'm her brother and uh I don't like you saying that you want to make cocoa babies with her, besides she's not making cocoa she's making caramel babies TJ's a swirl and so will the future babies be. So, I know Puck already hired you but do you want the job."
"Hell yeah. When do I start? Okay. Can I get the address?"
I wrote down the address. "This is it you can come by around one because 'Cedes and Sam will be home by then. Welcome aboard Shane." I shook his hand then he shook Puck and Stevie's hand got a doggy bag leaving.
"TJ's really a swirl baby?" Stevie asked.
"Yeah, Tank is mixed just that the light bright skipped his ass jumping to TJ which makes sense he needs to be in the dark. So, what you guys think about our first hire?"
"He's good but I don't how Sam is going to take it knowing that he wanted to make cocoa babies with his wife. Do you think we should tell him?
"He said all lines of communication are open."
"Hey guys." I looked up standing there smiling at us were Kurt and Blaine.
"Kurt and Blaine what are you doing here?"
"Oh we're just here for a little brunch what are you guys doing here?"
"Umm…we're just chilling."
"Chilling? What is this?" Kurt picked up my spiral notebook reading one of the questions. "How long have you been a bodyguard? Who is getting a bodyguard?" I tapped my pen against the table. "Shane Tinsley hired. Hmm…anything you guys would like to tell me."
"Should we?" I asked scratching my mustache.
"I mean…"
"Just tell us."
"Alright have a seat." They sat down I continued tapping my pen. "Tap…tap…tap there's been a lot going on."
"Oh yeah, I know. Sam and Mercedes are married what a shocker what could be more shocking than that."
"Tank." Stevie said I looked at Kurt and Blaine expressions it wasn't clicking how one can expect them to know they are out of the loop.
"What about his simple self? I mean he called my phone way back then but everything should be fine with him, Right?"
"Kurt, Tank found out where 'Cedes and TJ are living at." His jaw dropped.
"Okay, you can't be serious."
"We're serious Kurt, Tank had a part well his mother had a part in having Stevie shot but she's out of this and earlier this week JJ was shot." Puck said I looked up from my drink Blaine and Kurt's eyes were fixed on me bugging out.
"You were shot?!" They both asked banging on table.
"Yeah."
"Oh my gosh! Where?"
I rubbed my chest. "Twice in my chest but I'm good. I had on a bullet proof vest got some bruising but other than that I'm fine."
"That's good to hear, how he find out where Sam lives at?"
"His ex-girlfriend and we still don't know how they know each other."
"Ugh…I never liked her. I didn't like her then and I really don't like her now."
"So, what about restraining orders? That's a good thing to have for them."
"They did get them." Stevie said. "Sam was served but Mercedes wasn't." Puck answered with his attention outside.
"How?! I mean. Her life and TJ's life are in balance."
"We all know that Kurt and that's just part of it. TJ's had a few dreams about being kidnapped you can say well on yesterday his dream almost became a reality."
"Where were Sam and Mercedes?" Blaine asked.
"They went out for some alone time he was with Rachel and Logan, some guy called out TJ's name that's when they found out that her TRO wasn't served they came back home and he lit a fire under our ass so that's why we're here."
"Why didn't 'Cedes tell me this? We're friends!"
"It's been a lot going on I just think she didn't want y'all to worry about her and TJ. Sam does that enough as it is seeing as he was in San Diego all of last week."
"Why was he in San Diego when clearly 'Cedes and TJ need him home?"
"Training Camp, Kurt."" Steve shook his glass signifying he wanted a refill.
"Oh, well isn't that just a comforting thing. Where are they at?"
"They're back at the house with TJ and Logan."
"What's Logan doing there?"
"Cedes thought that it would be a good idea for TJ to have Logan over to take his mind off of Tank and just someone to play with this week he just needed a buddy."
"Blaine let's go we're going over there right now." Kurt said getting up.
"Kurt. No. Today is family day for them they haven't had the house to themselves in a long time they need this time just them maybe you can call later today or send a text but don't go over there. Please."
"Fine, we won't go over there but I will call. Come on Blaine. It was nice seeing you guys, thanks for letting us know this."
"Did we do the right thing?"
"We'll find out later Blaine and Kurt has perfect timing because our second interviewee is here. Azimio Adams."
"Hi Azimio…"
Sam's POV
After breakfast we sent the boys up to TJ's room to dress themselves Cedes and I washed dishes. "This feels awkward."
"Why you say that?"
"We're washing dishes I don't even remember the last time you and I shared this duty." I handed a plate to her she wiped it placing it in the dish-rack.
"Yeah this is awkward Sam. Don't we have a dishwasher?" She opened it up laughing. "This is why. Wow! You can tell that we've had guests for too long I love them but they're taking away from my wifely and motherly duties. I don't even remember the last time I cooked a meal in this kitchen."
"Wow! We've been out of the loop." We both dried our hands I slung the towel over my shoulder. "You don't remember the last time you cooked a meal?"
"Nope."
I hugged her from behind. "You want to cook tonight?"
"They're coming home later. Stacey said it and JJ, Puck, and Stevie said it as well then it's going to be back to the new normal around here."
"Well we can call them Puck and JJ can crash at Stevie's house Stacey can join them if she pleases they said family time alone let's extend it. So you, me and the boys can have the house to ourselves." I pulled out my phone calling Stevie. "Stevie, everything is good look I'm calling you because I need you, Puck, JJ, and Stacey to all come back home get some clothes. For what? We're kicking you guys out the house for tonight and tonight only. Y'all gave us the house for a few hours 'Cedes and I just hand washed the dishes." She looked up at me slapping me on my shoulder. "Yeah, hand washed I think the last time was…yeah TJ was punished. So, 'Cedes and I are about to head out with the boys in a little bit y'all can come by and do that. Okay. Bye. Done." I kissed her on the cheek. "Tonight you're cooking for your family. What are you cooking?"
"I don't know. All I know is that we need to hurry up and get dressed and see if what the boys have on is acceptable." Upstairs to TJ's room we went we entered the room he and Logan were checking themselves out in the mirror.
"How we look?" TJ and Logan had on khaki shorts and the same multicolored polo shirt. "We wanted to wear the same thing down to the underwear, socks, and shoes.
"Y'all look good real good! Did the both you brush y'all teeth?"
"Yup."
"Okay. Well mommy and I are going change then we'll be off. Stay here do not go downstairs." I wanted to match the boys so I too went with khaki shorts Logan and TJ's shirts were blue and gold so I just went with an all-white polo with a blue collar, 'Cedes rocked a printed summer dress that had all of our colors from our polos on the flowers. "Did you pick that dress so you could match the boys?"
"I did. I see you too had the same idea with your colors."
"Yeah need help with putting on your shoes?"
"No, Sam. I can slip right in these." She said slipping into her sandals going over to her dresser spritzing on some perfume she grabbed her purse she was ready. "You ready?"
"I am let's go get the boys and off we go. TJ Logan, let's roll!" I yelled as they ran out the room.
"Mommy you look pretty."
"Auntie you look pretty."
"Aww...thank you my handsome little men."
"What about me?" I fashioned my outfit for them. "Let me hear it come on."
"You match us Uncle Sam, you look cool."
"Knew it let's go."
"TJ and Logan no running, walk to the car make this practice for the mall parking lot." 'Cedes yelled as I locked the house I unlocked the car TJ and Logan got in and I ran to open the door for 'Cedes.
"Sam I could have got my own door."
"I know but I wanted to do get it." I helped her in then checked to make sure TJ and Logan were secure in their boosters and it was off to the mall.
Puck's POV
Stevie and JJ stayed back to continue the interviews I volunteered to come to the house to pack up their clothes they gave me a list I mean it's only for one night. I balled it up tossing it out the window as I pulled up to the house. I got out the car did a walk around right quick before heading inside everything was good.
"They'll sleep in what I pack and they will wear what I pack for them the next day this isn't fashion police." I tossed some clothes into their rightful duffel bags heading out to my car putting them in the back seat. I had half of my body in the car when I heard someone yell.
"YOU!"
Sam's POV
"TJ and Logan no running over here we're going inside this store."
"Why are we going in this store we want to go to the toy store?" The toy store was right across the way from T-Mobile talk about temptation.
"I know we will be going to the toy store but we're going here to get mommy a new phone first."
"How may…Sam!"
"Jacob what are you doing at this store. I thought you were the GM at the other store?" I gave him a hug.
"I was but they moved me here. What brings you in today?"
"My wife needs a new phone." I put my arm around her waist.
"Okay. Know what kind of phone you're looking for?"
"Yes, iPhone the one with the most gigs."
"Okay these just came in…"
I looked back Logan and TJ were inching towards the exit. "Logan Christopher, Thaddeus Joshua over here now."
"Why am I hearing two names being called a first and the middle? Excuse me Jacob." She looked back and her expression changed seeing that they were almost out the door she curled her finger in a come here gesture they slowly walked over to her. "Thaddeus Joshua and Logan Christopher, why is daddy telling y'all to come back over here when the both of you know better than to wander off?" They both shrugged their shoulders. "I don't understand shoulder shrugs open your mouth and speak."
"We want to go to the toy store." Logan answered.
"Didn't he say after we get done here?"
The both nodded their heads. "Yeah."
"Okay after we get done here then we'll go to the store but if I have to stop and get the both of y'all in check, we're skipping the toy store, we're going right to the grocery store, then home. You understand me."
"Yes, mommy."
"Yes, Aunt 'Cedes."
"Good. TJ you hold your father's hand Logan hold mine. Now Jacob where were we?"
Puck's POV
I got out my car looking around. "I know that voice I heard it a few hours ago, his ass must think I'm playing with him. Come on out!" I yelled! "Where you at?! Punk ass! Come on!" He jumped out from behind Cedes car. "I've been waiting for you to show up all day. I knew you weren't bright and here your ass is. You making it easier for me."
"Easier for who?" He pulled out a knife.
"Oh, you got a weapon that's cool, what are you going to do with it."
"Imma stab you."
"Do it! I dare you. Do it!" He ran over to me jabbing the knife in my arm I reached for my gun shooting him in his knee. He fell back crying in agony.
"Fuck! Shit! Agh…"
"What was that?" I kicked him in the face I stomped him I think I did the River-dance on his ass but I wasn't through, I got on top of him punching the shit out of him with every punch came a word. "YOU STUPID MOTHER FUCKER YOU THOUGHT THAT I WAS PLAYING THIS MORNING WHEN I SAID I'D FUCK YOU UP YOU WANTED TO TEST ME I KEEP MY WORD AND HERE IS MY PROMISE! THIS IS FOR MERCEDES! THIS IS FOR TJ! THIS IS FOR SAM! THIS IS FOR STEVIE! THIS IS FOR JJ! THIS IS FOR THE BABY! THIS IS FOR OUR WHOLE FAMILY." I got off him kicking him a few more times. "THIS IS FROM ME! DOUBLE KICK TO THE NUTS!" I laughed pulling out my phone I snapped a few pictures. "Damn! I wish I had a selfie stick! Say cheese Tank!" I snapped the picture then called 911. "911 what's your emergency I need the police and maybe an ambulance. " I gave them the address. "I just whipped Tank's ass y'all need to serve him. I'll be waiting for y'all. Imma cut this step right quick!" I was too busy cutting my step when I heard a familiar voice scream.
"WON'T HE DO IT!"
"Santana!"
"La oración realmente funciona me he sentido algún tipo de forma últimamente y algo me dijo que simplemente orar al respecto , así que puse de rodillas he dicho Jesús le envía aquí y mira lo que hiciste! Sí padre ! ¡Sí! Una oración simple! Lo hiciste y ahora tendrá la luz de él como holocausto a usted! ¡Fuego! ¡Fuego! [Translation: Prayer really does work I've been feeling some kind of way lately and something told me just pray about it so I got down on my knees I said Jesus send him over here and look at what you did! Yes father! Yes! A simple prayer! You did it and now I will light him up as burnt offering to you! Fire! Fire!]
She said something in Spanish reaching in her purse for something which was a matchbook she ripped off a match striking it. "Hey!" I took the matchbook from her. "What are you doing? What are you doing here?
"He's on the ground in pain I'm just offering him up as burnt offering to finish him off. I was stopping by to check on Mercedes I called her phone but it's not on I was in the area and talk about perfect timing!"
"No, don't the matches are no."
"Why not?!" She was jumping up trying to take the matches away from me. I heard the sirens I saw the lights come up the driveway.
"That's why!"
"What happened?" The police officer asked.
"I came here to get me and my bros a change of clothes and as I'm about to leave I heard someone yelling he popped up from that car over there and he stabbed me so I shot him in the knee and I may have hit him a few times. "
"A few times." He looked back at Tank it was a bloody mess but he was still living. That's just his warning. "Are you sure you hit him a few times?"
"Y-Yeah."
"That's bullshit he threatened me! OW!" The paramedics were working on him despite the fact that I beat his ass he still was talking shit.
"Man! Shut the fuck up before I finish you off bitch ass."
"Okay enough of that. Do you need medical attention?"
"No, it's not deep, I'm good the knife was dull."
"Still need to get checked out. You know his name." He pointed to Tank the paramedics had him on the gurney. "Hell yeah, that's Tank bitch ass also known as Reginald Mason."
"Reginald Mason?" I heard a cop question. "Where is Reginald Mason?" He had some paperwork in his hand.
"Over there. Why?"
"I got something for him."
"What?"
"You, Mr. Reginald Mason, have been served!"
A/N: WON'T I DO IT! What's he going to do now?! He's been served! Are 'Cedes and TJ safe now? Will Sam cut a step? Will the kids get to go to the toy store? We'll find out in a few hours? Catch these Zzzzs'.
