Let's Go! (:

TJ's POV

"TJ go get your mother and tell her that breakfast is ready."

"Okay." I felt a hand on my shoulder I looked up it was Shane. "What Mr. Shane?"

"You can stay here. I'll go get your mother." He whispered in my ear.

"But…"

"No, I got it." He ran towards the steps and up the stairs he went and I followed him."

"Breakfast is ready. TJ was going to come get you but I told him I get it." Yeah because you want to get close to my mommy.

"Thanks Shane! My wife will be down in a little while. You can go now. Daddy sounds upset.

"I'm on the phone with my husband."

"Okay. Mrs. Evans I'll leave you alone."

"Thanks Shane."

He closed the door and was arguing with the door whispering. "Why you keep talking to his white ass? Here I am trying to get next you. So you can be with me. I'm suppose to be your man."

"Shane! Come on let's do our walk around before we eat breakfast!" Ray yelled.

"Coming!"

I ducked in my room and when he went down the steps I ran to mommy's room. "Mommy are you okay?"

"I'm good baby. I thought you were coming to tell me about breakfast." She said fixing the bed.

"I was but Shane said he'd do it. He was at your door saying you suppose to be with him and why you keep talking to his white ass." I covered my mouth. "I mean white butt. Mommy I don't like him I know you told me not to listen in on conversations I did it because it's him. Will I get a part 2? I hope not."

"No, TJ you're not getting a part 2. You head back downstairs and I'll be down in a little while."

"Okay." I left mommy to do that and I went back downstairs and granny was waiting at the bottom of the stairs for me.

"Where is your mommy?" Granny asked me.

"Shane went to go get her so I followed him. She's making the bed. She'll be down soon."

"Shane? That big man bald headed man." She showed his size with her hands.

"Yeah him."

"Why would he go get her and I told you to do it. Come on your breakfast is getting cold. I'm going upstairs to see what was that all about."

I walked into the dining room and Logan was sitting at the table with his fork in hand. "Now I can eat. Where is Aunt 'Cedes?"

"Making the bed. Where is Aunt Stacey, Uncle Puck, Uncle JJ, and Uncle Stevie?"

He pointed outside. "They are eating outside. I asked granny could we eat outside and she said no we had to stay in here. Grown people talk I guess."

"Yeah, grown people talk." I picked up my bacon and took a bite.

JJ's POV

"I'm glad my mother made Logan and TJ stay inside because we got to talk." I balled up napkin pushing my plate back.

"About what?"

"You beating up Tank, 'Cedes isn't happy."

"What you mean she's not happy? She was happy yesterday when I showed her the photo?" He slid his phone over to me, he made Tank's face his background and I slid it back.

"She's not she's worried that Tank might do something worse. Think his mother got Stevie shot and he sent those two guys to kill me but I'm still here and TJ's still having dreams…."

"I thought his dreams stopped?"

"No Stacey they started back up when I got shot. You beating him up I love it but now my mother got me thinking that it wasn't good."

Puck tossed down his fork. "Now you got me too and she's pregnant with Sam's baby. FUCK! I wasn't thinking."

"But Tank probably thinks the baby is still his I mean he did you know."

"Yeah." I sighed. "I don't even want to think about that. Glad she's not pregnant with his seed."

"He got served though he wouldn't pull anything."

"I said the same thing then I started thinking Tank is not a law abiding citizen. He's been breaking the law since day one and who knows what he did on day one. What did my sister see in him?" I pounded the table with my first and Stacey jumped. "I'm sorry. Just…"The sliding door open and it was Mercedes.

"Hey guys thought I'd join you for breakfast. How is everything?"

"Okay. Were you able to get back to sleep after this morning?" Stacey asked.

"No, I just looked at the ceiling thinking about everything."

"Thinking about what?"

"TJ's still having his dreams."

"I know, JJ told us."

"Mom told you?"

I nodded my head. "Yeah. She told me, they started back up after I got shot. Are his dreams bad? They are bad enough with him dreaming about Tank selfish self."

She licked her lips. "They're bad on scale from one to ten his dreams are a 10 plus. Tank appears in his dreams with a gun."

"A gun? Does he shoot TJ?"

"No. No. He shoots in the air although his dream about him being at school waiting outside for Sam to pick him up scares the most."

"What happens in that dream?" I asked by this time she had all of our attention.

"Tank points the gun at TJ telling him to get in his car." Stacey gasped. "He doesn't shoot him he always wakes up before something happens. I'm just really nervous now. He starts school in a few weeks I'm just fearing I'm going to get the call that he's missing from there and the baby." She sighed. "It's a lot going on." She lowered her head shoulders were moving up and down.

"What's wrong with my baby? Why is she crying?"

"Shane. She already put you in place once can't you see she's having a moment. Leave her alone." Azimio said. "Everything was clear on our walk around we're going to get breakfast."

"Okay thanks."

They went inside the house Puck, I, Stevie and Stacey all eyed Shane. "I can't stand his ass! Ugh!" Stacey yelled! "Just ugh. 'Cedes don't cry it's gonna get better."

"I know. I know." She wiped her face. "I wish I would have listened to dad when he told me Tank wasn't the one. He was right I just wanted to prove him wrong now my son has to go through this. I'm a horrible parent."

"Sis, listen you aren't a horrible mother. You did what you had to do you got out of that horrible place and you're here I'm not upset at you for staying that long I'm just glad that you and TJ are safe. Sam took the necessary precautions to keep you at ease and him. We got Tank. You let us worry about his crazy ass. I don't want you stressing out and anything happen to you or the baby. Okay."

"Okay."

"We're all here and mom. We'll get through this. Speaking of mom, how long is she here?"

"Until AJE is born."

I spit out my juice. "WHAT?! I love our mother and all of that but Sam asked me she just barged in. Are you sure?"

"Yeah, I called daddy last night after she made me get off the phone with Sam. 9 months. I'm going to need to stock up on some Advil, prayer and some pillows to make it through these 9 months or blame my outburst on my mood swings."

"When are you due?"

"May."

"Is our mother coming out here? If so, you are coming to stay with me! I can't leave you here with them. 'Cedes I love your mother but you and Sam are better than me. How did Sam take this news?"

She laughed. "He dropped something off his desk and he was cursing. He didn't say what he dropped but whatever it was, it was glass it shattered."

"9 months? Why?"

"Well, she missed everything with TJ so she doesn't want to miss anything with AJE."

"AJE? You guys already named the baby?"

"Yeah, and no you will not know the name of until he or she gets here."

I heard the door open and it was him. "Oh, my baby perked up. You must be thinking about me."

"Shane! Leave us alone please."

"Fine. I'll leave y'all alone. If you want to talk to me baby. You know where you can find me I can make everything better." He blew a kiss at Mercedes she rolled her eyes in disgust.

"Did y'all have a talk with Shane? DOES HE KNOW SHE'S A MARRIED WOMAN WITH A BABY ON THE WAY?!" Stacey yelled Shane threw his hand at her.

"Yes, Stacy. Puck talked to him."

"Well you need to talk to his ass again or I'm going to talk to him. Might need to borrow Santana's stick to get my message across."

"Not Tana's stick. I'm still traumatized from that."

"As you should be! Leave it to you to take TJ to that park that's why you're traumatized from that stick. Anyway, does Sam know about TJ's dream?"

"Yeah, I talked to him this morning and he's calling back tonight so we can talk to TJ together."

"That's good."

"How was breakfast?" Mom popped out of nowhere.

"It was good mom."

"Oh that's what I like to hear. JJ bring in these plates once 'Cedes get done."

"Why can't she bring in her own plate?"

She hit me with the towel. "Boy! Your sister is pregnant! Bring me all these plates when she gets done. 'Cedes TJ and Logan wanted to go into the game room. I told them it's too early for them."

"Mom, it's fine they can go in there."

"Not to me so I got them reading books."

"Books? This isn't going to sit well with TJ." Stevie said and I saw I turned back and TJ was coming outside with Logan behind him.

"Why are you two doing out here? I thought I gave y'all books to read."

"You did but um…we came to ask mommy a question and then we can go back to reading those books."

"Okay. Don't bother your mother too much she has your baby sister on board."

"We won't." They both smiled and mom went back inside the house. "Mommy, when is granny going home?! She's adding more stress to my life!"

"TJ you are my nephew!" We all laughed. "TJ's over granny being here already. I don't blame you."

"Munchkin granny is staying with us until the baby is born."

"Why?! She won't let Logan or me go into the game room. She got us reading books."

"Books are good."

"Books can't flip and cut tricks. Mommy please." He poked out his lip. "Please can Logan and I go into the game room?"

"Let's do it like this. After I finish eating breakfast the three of us will go into the game room and then y'all can play."

"Cool." TJ and Logan hi-fived.

"TJ and Logan back inside. Let Mercedes eat her breakfast. Y'all ate and she didn't interrupt you guys. Come on here and read those books."

"Yes ma'am." They went back inside the house and my mother disappeared somewhere. "Hurry up mommy." They mouthed.

"'Cedes speed it up they not enjoying them books."

"Get away from that window! I told y'all to read books or color. You know how your mother looks TJ."

"Imma need that Advil sooner than I thought. 9 months. I'm done. I got my plate." She got up from the table and headed inside and here comes Shane.

"What the hell does he want?"

"Yes, Shane."

"Um. I was wonder if it's okay if I head out I got to pick up something."

"Sure."

"I wonder where he has to go. I would follow him but I'm too comfortable." Puck propped his feet him in the chair beside him leaning back.

Tank's POV

"Knock. Knock!"

"Come in Shane!"

"Wassup man!" I gave him dap. "You got the job?"

"Yeah, they gave it to me on the spot. 'Cedes wasn't there though she was out with her husband and kids."

"Kids Shane?" He nodded. "She only got 1 kid and that's TJ."

"Well it's some other little boy at the house."

"Oh, that's Sam's son bad ass motherfucker they tossed fruit at Sarah. She got a big ass knot on her forehead. Do they suspect anything about you?"

"No, they don't. I'm just crushing on Mercedes hard."

"How is it living in their house?"

"It's good. I mean look I been had a crush on her when y'all got together but since I'm living there, man my crush is even worse. I saw their bedroom and she pregnant."

I shrugged my shoulders. "I could have told you that. She's having my baby. That's old ass news."

"Old news to you but this is some new, news she's pregnant and the baby isn't yours. It's her "husband"." He did the quotations around husband.

"What you mean she is not having my baby? I knocked her ass up. I know my men march! They have a sense of motherfucking direction!" I smacked my hand on my bed.

"Well sorry to report but those men must have lost the fight."

"Don't tell me that bitch did an abortion with my seed! Man! She was suppose to have my baby."

"Anyway who did this to you? They fucked you up good."

"One of her friends."

"Oh, I think you mean Puck. He got you ass his background."

"White guy bald head." He nodded. "I know. I know. Imma get his ass back. It's only a matter of time. So you are crushing on my girl?"

"Your girl?! She's married and.."

I rolled my eyes putting up my hand for him to shut the fuck up. "That's a front more than likely that is my seed she's just saying its Sam so he can be happy raising another mans' seed."

"No, they're married as in Mr. and Mrs., anyway. How long you gonna be in here?"

"Probably a couple more days."

"Okay. Probably can't sneak and visit you no more after today. I gotta be on my post."

"Okay. Just call me."

"I will. Here is my new number. It's the number to my new cellphone. Sam, got us all new cellphones he said that we can't use them for personal use but whatever. I gotta get back. I'll hit you up later."

"Hey! Before you roll out get 'Cedes number and send it to me. I called her old number but it's going right to voicemail."

"I got it. He told us that we needed it. Here is the number." I wrote it down on a piece of paper. "You might want to block your number when you call."

"Thanks man!"

"No problem." She thought she had one up on me. I got the upper hand. I've infiltrated Sam's house with one of my own. I am a motherfucking genius. "Hahahahaha."

TJ's POV

Logan and I were playing video games with mommy watching us but she got a call so that meant we had to stop playing and granny gave us the option of either reading a boring book or drawing. We picked drawing.

"What you think of my picture?" I held it up for Logan.

"I like it. Is that conniehey?"

"Yeah, that's him. I can't wait to get my dog now our family is complete."

"Well it's not complete yet. When is the baby getting here? He asked picking up a yellow crayon.

"Mommy said it takes 9 months. That's a long time." I put my picture to the side and grabbed a blank sheet and started on another drawing.

"9 months! That's too long! Can't auntie speed up the process?"

"I don't think so. She said it takes like 40 something weeks. I need my brother now so it can be you, me Ian, and my baby brother against Gabby. Boys Rule!"

"Yup! Boys Rule!" We hi-fived I heard the sliding door open I thought it was granny since she was outside. I looked up from drawing and I saw his ugly self and back down at my picture.

"Hi TJ."

"Hi Shane." I kept drawing.

"Where is your mother?"

"She's in my daddy's study. What you want with her?" I mugged him.

"Nothing." He said going towards the stairs. "Is the study locked?"

"Yeah, it's locked. She said she needed privacy!"

"Shit. Okay I'm going back outside." He said leaving.

"Good!" I rolled my eyes. "I don't like him!"

"Me neither! He keeps looking at auntie like he wants her. She got a man and it's Uncle Sam!"

"Yup! That's my daddy! Can I tell you something Logan?"

"Last time you told me something you got mad at me."

"Well, I won't get mad at you, I'm gonna tell you anyway."

"Okay. What is it?"

I whispered in his ear. "I saw Shane somewhere before."

"What you mean?"

"I've seen him somewhere before I think he knows Tank."

"Are you sure TJ?" He turned and looked towards the door. "You saw him somewhere?"

"Yeah I just got to remember where."

"What are you both whispering about?"

"Nothing mommy." We both said and smiled.

"Those are some nice drawings."

"Thank you."

"Mommy is we going out today or are we staying around the house?"

"Y'all want to go out?"

"Yeah for toys!" I said.

"No. No. No toys you have enough toys already."

"Well can we go to the pet store I can get a book on dogs and have granny read it to me since she wants me to read."

"Okay we can do that. Go get dressed." Logan jumped off the stool and ran upstairs I was behind him but stopped to ask mommy a question.

"Are you gonna match us this time mommy with our clothes?"

"We'll see. Go get dressed!

"Okay! Logan we gonna match clothes so mommy can match us!"

Mercedes POV

Tidying up TJ and Logan coloring area I didn't hear the sliding door open I felt a presence behind me and I just knew it was Shane.

"There you go. I heard you were up in his study."

"What have I told you about that?" I backed up placing their drawings on the table. "He is my husband. His name is Samuel Thaddeus Evans; you can address him as Sam or Mr. Evans."

"I know. I know. What did you see in man like him and not me?"

"Excuse you?"

"You know you need to belong with a brother and not a whitey he can't handle you like I can." He licked his tongue and me.

"Shane you are walking a very think line and the way my husband handles me is none of your damn business. I'm not getting into details of how he does it that's between he and I you know what. PUCK! JJ! STEVIE!"

"What are you doing?"

"I'm calling my brothers so they can set your ass straight this is your final time."

"Yeah, sis." They all emerged from the game room. "Is everything alright?"

"No. Talk to him."

"You want us to fire him." Stevie asked.

"No, this is his final warning. Let him know that if he slips up and talks about sex to me, comes to my bedroom, or look at me in any sexual way he will be shown the door. His job is to protect the premises not come and get me for breakfast. I'm going upstairs to change. I'm taking the boys to the pet store."

"Okay. You which bodyguard you want to come with you?"

"Azimio is fine."

Stevie's POV

"Guys, I got this talk. You can go do your own thing." Puck pushed Shane.

"Are you sure Puck?"

"Yeah, I got this talk. Shane let's go for a drive."

"A-A drive?" He stumbled out the house getting his footing. "To where?"

"Don't worry about it. You'll enjoy it. Let's go!" Puck bid us farewell as he left.

"Should we follow Puck to see where he's taking him and what he's going to do to him?"

"Uh….yeah I'll drive."

"Where is Shane?" Azimio asked.

"Um…Puck is going to show him around town uh. My sister is about to head out with the boys and she wants you to come with her."

"Okay. Where is she going?"

"The pet store. Um…I gotta go if she asks for us. Just we went for a drive with Puck."

"Alright."

TJ's POV

"No Logan I'll tell you when we get back." I jumped down the last three steps and went into the living room. "Hi Azimo."

"Hi TJ. I heard that we're going to the pet store!"

"Yeah, we're getting a book about dogs. I'm getting a dog since mommy is having a baby."

"Your mother is pregnant?"

"Yup with my little brother."

"That's cool. Are you ready to be a big brother? It's a huge responsibility."

"Yup I'm up for the challenge. We're going to teach him everything. Right Logan?"

"Right! Especially how to deal with girls. Yuck!"

"What y'all don't like girls?"

"Girls are fine just one we don't like, her name is Gabby! She's my god sister. She's the stress in my life."

"Oh…she's that bad."

"The worst! You'll meet her and once you see her you'll know why."

"Y'all ready?" Mommy asked us looking through her purse. "Where are JJ, Puck, and Stevie?"

"Oh, they took Shane out for a ride. Y'all matching? Do you guys always do that?"

"No, we did it on Saturday and since we're going out again they wanted to match and I didn't mind."

"Where are you guys off too dressed so cutely alike?" Granny asked coming in from outside.

"I'm taking TJ and Logan to the pet store. Mom you want to come with us?"

"No, I'm going to stay back and get my room together and chat it up with Stacey. Y'all go ahead and have fun."

"We will."

"Sir, what's your name?"

"Oh, It's Azimio but you can call me Azimo like TJ does." She shook his hand.

"Okay. Watch out for my babies."

"I will ma'am."

"TJ and Logan! Didn't I tell y'all don't run to the car?! Walk!" She hit the button to unlock the car and Logan and I climbed in buckling ourselves in.

"Y'all in good?"

"Yeah Azimo we in good." He pulled on our seatbelts. "Double checking. You want me to drive or you go it?"

"I got it. Just get in."

"Okay."

Mommy got in the driver side and Azimo the passenger side. "Mommy can Logan and I watch a movie on the way to the pet store."

"Yeah, what movie y'all want to watch?"

"Beethoven!"

"Azimio can you put Beethoven in for them?"

"Sure, where is the DVD?"

"Check the case right there?" He pulled out DVD cases and flipped through the selections until he came across the disc. He slipped it in the player and Logan and me put on our headphones waiting for the movie to start.

"THANK YOU AZIMO!"

"You're welcome."

Since I'm getting a dog why not watch a dog movie on the way to the pet store! I want a dog like Beethoven but I don't think mommy is going to go for that if Conniehey ate her weave and shoes when she was about that life what would a dog like Beethoven do. The car came to a stop looked over and we were here. "We're here guys."

"Already! The movie was just getting good!"

"I know it was but you can watch it on the way home and then y'all can pick back up where y'all left off in the game room." We unbuckled ourselves got out on mommy's side. "Hey don't run. This is a parking lot cars are going fast when they shouldn't be. Hold my hand." I took mommy's left hand and Logan had the right and we made our way to the entrance the closer we ran and waited for her.

"Why don't you look pretty?" This old guy said to mommy.

"Thank you. Come on TJ and Logan."

"How about…"

"She's married!" Logan and I yelled back to the guy.

"Logan and TJ. Why did you say that?"

"What?" We shrugged our shoulders. "He was trying to hit on you mommy. We don't like that."

"Y'all don't like that." She asked laughing at us.

"Nope."

"Who made you my defenders?" She grabbed a cart and Logan and I jumped on front.

"Daddy!" We said.

Azimo was too busy laughing he ran into a display. "Man I got to stop laughing! These kids are something else! Why you need us when you got them?"

"Ask my husband."

Sam's POV

Usually around this time I'd FaceTime Mercedes but I needed to be a little secretive on my end so I'm calling my brother.

"Stevie how is everything going?"

"Good so far Puck had to get Shane in check we probably won't be having any problems out of him."

"What he do this time?"

"Something that 'Cedes didn't like I'll have her tell you. What you doing calling my phone? You're not calling your wife?"

"No, not this time. I need to ask TJ a very important question. Where is he?"

"He just got back from the pet store. 'Cedes took him and Logan there Azimio went with them he got him a book about dogs. Are you really getting him a dog?"

"Yeah. Soon. Can you call for TJ?"

"TJ! YOUR DADDY IS ON THE PHONE FOR YOU!" He turned the phone towards the game room and TJ ran out sliding.

"Hi daddy."

"Hey TJ. How was the pet store?"

"It was awesome! I got a book about dogs! I got to pet a dog and I got to hold a hamster! They're cute. Mommy said she had a hamster but hers was pregnant. Can I get a hamster too? Just a male one."

"We'll see. I have to ask you something?"

"What is it?"

"TJ you know I love mommy and you right?"

"Yeah."

"Well, you know when two people love each other so much that the man asks a question to the love of his life."

"Uh-huh."

"TJ, I love mommy so much and I already ask granddaddy and he gave me his blessing I just need for you to give me your blessing. Thaddeus Joshua Evans, do I have the blessing for mommy's hand?"

"Daddy you do! You already got my baby brother on board this was just the next step. So, when are you popping the question?"

"I don't when but you got any ideas. I need help."

"Yeah, on the beach maybe when we come down this weekend."

"You want it romantic."

"Yeah, I can wear my white suit and bring you the ring."

"That sounds like a good idea. TJ, don't tell mommy. This is our secret."

"Like the ice-cream and the time out."

"Yeah, like that. I'll call you later tonight because mommy and I have to talk to you but if she asks what we talked about say we talked about you wanting to play football. Okay."

"Cool! I wanna play football anyway. Can we talk to mommy about that later?"

"Yeah, I have to go TJ. Love you son."

"Love you too daddy."

Mercedes POV

"I could have sworn I heard you said the Sam called Stevie." I sat beside him on the couch.

"Yeah, he called to talk to TJ about football."

"Football? My baby isn't playing football that sport is too physical."

"Well, I think it's a good sport. I'm going into the game room to get my practice laps in before Logan and TJ square off against Puck and me. You gonna be there to watch us go at it?

"Yeah. I'm rooting for my babies to win. Team TJ and Logan!"

"You too!" He kissed his teeth. "When they crying later on tonight don't say I didn't warn you?"

"Yeah, right Stevie."

My phone is buzzing in my pocket. "Who is this calling me?" I looked at the caller ID and the number was blocked. I answered anyway. "Hello."

"Hi Mercedes! Thought you got rid of me!"

"Tank?!"

"Damn Right. You thought you could easily change numbers and not think that I'd call you. Your little friend fucked me up but he got it coming back to him."

"H-How'd you get my number?" I lowered the volume on my phone going upstairs to the bedroom closing the door behind me.

"Don't worry about it? Are you still pregnant with my baby? Word got back to me that you pregnant with that punk's child?"

"My husband isn't a punk. You are the punk!"

"Bitch shut the fuck up! You think you pretty damn smart getting a restraining order on my ass like that's really going to stop me! You know I'm above the law! I do what I want. Sam thing that happened to those motherfuckers that were supposed to off you brother gonna happen Puck or whatever his name is."

I heard a faint knock. "Mommy can I have a pudding?"

"T-TJ yeah, ask Uncle JJ to get it for you."

"Okay." He closed the door.

"Let me talk to my son."

"No Tank! Bye!" I hung up my phone and turned it off. How did he get my number! He's not going to let go! "Jesus be a fence!"

A/N: Uh-oh! Yikes! Y'all want TJ's stress to return if so say yes. TJ stress is his god-sister Gabby. In other news, uh…who y'all hate more Tank or Shane or they neck and neck. Also, if you're going to follow me on twitter at me because I have random folk following me and I don't know these folk are I think they're spammers! Anyway until tomorrow guys. JLS! (:
