Saturday Afternoon…

Santana's POV

In the guest house watching me clowning! I did it up! "Wait…wait here it goes…"

"Is Tank up at the casket crying and screaming?" Azimio asked.

"Yup. Watch!"

"Oh no I wanna go mama I wanna mama go save me a seat…."

"I'm in the back munching on some Doritos watching this go down rolling my eyes. Hand me a spoon. Thanks Stevie."

"Doritos?!"

"Yeah, Stacey came prepared!" She empty out the contents of her purse on the coffee table. "Reese's! You had everything up in there."

"I did! I just had a feeling this was going to be like a movie! I was right!"

"How in the hell he know where she going? We all know she's on a slow fall to hell." JJ picked up the obituary. "Look at this she received Christ at an early age. Why do they always put that in here?"

"Look….here I come."

Tank was leaned over in the casket screaming. "I wanna go I wanna go."

"Tana! No! No! You did not push him!"

"Yes I did! He tried to hit me but I pulled out my knife. Listen, Listen."

"I dare you to hit me like you did my friend this goes for all of your delusional family. You said you wanted to go I was giving you an early start. Tell me where you want to get cut! Sorry pastor saints and friends. Imma go back to my seat. Hecoming!"

"JJ, why did we not go! I would have clowned right along with Tana."

"Tana I want to apologize for taking your matches you should have kept them on you because when you would have light his ass on fire all his family would have been stomping on him."

"I know. I know. Here comes my grand finale. Watch, watch."

"Why she had to go?! What did she do?! She was loveded! Let him use you! Let Tank go with her! Hashbababasee hescomingindahonda itiemyshoe. THE DEVIL IS A LIAR! BUT THE BUS THAT HIT HER WAS THE TRUTH! I'm out! You got that Stacey?!"

"OOOOOOOHHHHHHHHH!" We all got up running around the couch! "Hahahaha! Encore! Encore! Encore! Encore!"

Saturday night..

Mercedes POV

Sam vented early about his frustrations of Tank so now it's my turn to let him how I feel. "I need to take a page out of TJ's book if he doesn't like you he's going to let you know it. I just wanted to view the body not attend the funeral with Tank and his family some I have never seen before. He's so slick and selfish and it's all about him. Then his family gets the scoop and telling me what I should do for TJ and my happiness!" Sam tightly wrapped his arms around me. "Where the hell were they when he was verbally and physically abusing me and TJ? Nowhere! He begging for me to come back did he think that would work! Here I am with my true love…"

"That's right."

"..why would I return to his trifling ass. Baby, why didn't you just keep your foot down?" I tapped him on the nose.

"I said that we were going to go to the viewing and I was anticipating a viewing that's why I lifted my foot from here on out once I say no, I mean no. Even if you get upset with me that's fine but I have to stay firm to my word."

"I'm fine with that when you say no that's the final word."

"Good, are you sure you don't recognize any of Tank's family."

"One that Aunt Bunny TJ spent the night at her house 2 nights he was 3 he probably remembers this she was like why don't you let TJ spend the night at my house and you and Tank go out and have some fun."

"Where was his mother?"

I sighed. "Beats me so Tank agreed to it he went out and had his fun I stayed back at the house, missing my son, I get a text from Rick telling me that TJ had bites on him." Sam raised his eyebrow. "I asked how many he didn't hit me back. TJ comes home the next day I count 10 bites on him; he said they were gnat bites. They weren't I took my baby to the doctor and it was mosquito bites he had 10! TJ scratched them so one was infected I laid Tank out this was like one of the only times where I went off and he didn't do nothing because he knew I was right! I sent a perfectly bite free, 3 year old to his aunt house he comes back like that."

"How did he get them?"

"Rick said he built TJ a waterslide. He didn't build TJ any waterslide that was the first and last time my baby ever spent the night with one of Tanks relatives. She wanted to keep him when he was a baby, but I needed my baby talking so when he returned home he can tell me what happened. When TJ got in the house he said, "Mommy I want to take a bath", he stunk. 2 days my son is there and you didn't bathe him. Then here she is today telling me about what I should do. No." Sam kissed me.

"Glad that was his only introduction to Tank's family until today. Are you ready for the interview tomorrow?"

"I am I think TJ's more excited more than me he had all of his teddy bears lined up interviewing them."

The door opens in walks TJ. "Speaking of the little Bryant Gumbel how did the interview go with your teddy bears."

"Good!" He climbed up on the bed crawling between Sam and me. "But they were asking me questions, it was only one, the question was, when is TJ getting a dog? They want to know, mommy, daddy. What's the hold up? I was good this whole week."

"You are getting your dog but give mommy and daddy some time to decide when."

"Okay, maybe when I get my little brother I can get him you know you bring home the baby, I bring home a doggy."

"Planning already, TJ we'll see we may get you the doggy when we find out the sex of the baby, because a puppy and a baby with you and me I don't think mommy is going to be up for all of that. Babe what you think about a gender reveal party?"

"I like that idea. TJ stop rubbing your eye. So, we are, what 7 weeks now."

"Yes, we are. TJ you know how big your little sibling is?"

"No."

"Well let's see." Sam pulled up the information on TV "She is the size of a blueberry you know those things mommy got in the refrigerator, her arms and legs are developing, mouth and tongue are forming to top it off my baby her permanent set of kidneys! She can pee! In about a week she gonna be peeing! YES!"

"How is the pee-pee gonna get out? She pee inside mommy?"

"Yes, she does TJ, you did."

"Cool." He put lips to my stomach. "AJE you can pee-pee but don't do number two it's bad and it stinks. Are we getting ready for the interview tomorrow?"

"Yes, you ready?"

"I am. Thaddeus Joshua Evans Esq., will be ready for his close up. Think Tank is going to watch? Will it air right away?"

"No, it probably won't air right away. You want Tank to see, you TJ."

"Yeah, I want mommy to tell the world what his ugly self-did to her."

Sunday….

Mercedes POV

I dropped his name in this interview the world will know do I care about protecting him anymore. The answer is no I have someone who protects me now. "That's a wrap! This was a really good interview! I take that back this was a damn good interview. Mrs. Evans you laid it out on the line just like that. Perfect."

"Thank you Juju."

"So, when will this interview air." Sam asked having his mic removed.

"The interview will air in two weeks you Mr. Evans you did an excellent job Mrs. Evans did an amazing outstanding job talking about what you went through. I give you a hug and send kudos your way a lot of women would have just stayed mum thank you for sharing."

"It was nothing. It was time and I'm not done yet."

"I'm glad! Talking and sharing will only deliver others. We have everything? We do. Okay you two have a fabulous Sunday. Bye TJ."

"You too Juju Thank you."

"Bye Juju. She's pretty."

"I am so proud of you baby!" Sam pulled me in for a kiss. "You did an amazing job! I can't express how I feel, a kiss and a hug will have to do, unless we have a spelling bee."

"Can I be a part of the spelling bee daddy? Y'all always are spelling when I get to school I'm going to be the number one A+ speller because I learned from you guys. Spell Mercedes M-E-R-C-E-D-E-S. Spell Samuel S-A-M-U-E-L. See I spelled y'all names."

We pulled back blinking TJ was smiling. "Uh…s-spelling bee is out." Sam shook his head. "S-So what should we do with the rest of our day, we missed church. You want to go and see a movie or we can kick back and relax around here?"

"No, let's take TJ to the park, on Monday TJ, Gabby and me were watching video that you recorded and little miss Gabriella gave the finger and you know where she learned it from, this park. I have to see it with my own eyes our son has frequented this park a lot and each time he returns home he has learned something different even though he plays on the little kid side. If I hear anything sexual coming from any of these kids mouths, we're leaving and we're finding a new park."

"Yay! We're going to the park! Yes! Come on mommy! Help me out this suit! It itches!"

"TJ go upstairs I'll meet you there."

"Okay. We're going to the park…we're going to the park! I get to play on the big kid side now!" TJ sang bouncing up the steps.

"I did it Sam, I dropped his name."

"I know, don't tell me you're having seconds about that."

I shook my head. "No, I'm not he deserves to be shamed publicly for what he did to me."

"Yes he should. The word is out Tank! Everybody will know your shame! Truth be told I can't wait!"

"MOMMY I CAN'T FIND MY BENNY THE BULL SHIRT!"

"Baby will you?"

"I got it." He kissed me on the forehead. "I will say this forever you did me proud Mrs. Evans. You did me proud." He ran up the stairs and I followed stopping at TJ's door watching him and Sam. "TJ how about the Laker one." Sam held up the shirt TJ tossed it.

"No, daddy! It's not Benny the Bull the best mascot in NBA."

"TJ, we live in California we love the Lakers, Clippers or Warriors."

"I know but none of them have a mascot. Benny the Bull is where it's at, then Harry the Hawk then the Phillie Phanatic but he's baseball and Burnie, Moondog I don't get him, G-Wiz he looks funny, Clutch is cute, Stuff got stuff in his nose then there's Hooper, Slamson, Rumble the Bison, Pierre the Pelican had mascot surgery because before he was scary, The Raptor, The Oriole Bird is cute he whistles but that's baseball and that Gorilla for the Suns I don't get him and a few more."

"TJ, when did you learn all of this? Found it! Arms up. There you go."

"Uncle JJ he and I had some quality time together he's a Bulls fan and he's recruiting me to join their bandwagon. I might if Kobe doesn't return."

TJ's POV

The interview went good! I put on my best but I was shocked when mommy said Tank's name serves you right Tankzilla De Vil can't wait for y'all to see his reaction. We missed church but on the way to the playground we got out praise and worship in we all sang songs daddy prayed and since mommy is Team Jesus she dropped some Bible so the Evans Family COGIC is covered for today the Lord knows our hearts.

"This is the infamous park. It doesn't look half bad."

"Mommy can I play on the big kid side since you and daddy are here?" I pointed to the bridge that had a bunch of kids sitting.

"No, you can't but what you can do is introduce me to Simon and JT.

"Okay, but they're on the big kid side I can't go over there, oh here they come."

"TJ! Long time no see!" We did our secret handshake. "Your uncle came with some other people last week and I asked for you. Where have you been?"

"Oh, I've been here and there been laid back up in the house had a sleep over these last two weeks Logan week 1 and this weekend that ended Gabby, Ian's coming this week, Simon and JT this is my mommy and daddy, mommy and daddy Simon and JT."

"Nice to meet you."

"Nice to meet you too Mr. and Mrs. Evans, um Mrs. Evans I just want to say I'm sorry for teaching TJ that stuff about it my mother got on me real bad about that. She said Mary don't play." Simon said.

"Yeah, Denise said the same thing she said that if there was such a thing as BKA that stands for Bad Kids Anonymous I'd be a working a 10 step road to recovery program. Starting with a thorough butt whipping I'm lucky I'm here playing and walking. I'm glad no such thing exists. Although she did light me up." JT rubbed his butt.

"Mine did too! She said if I was 10 or 11 years old I wouldn't got whupped but I'm only 8, I got a part 2, lost my games for a week and I had to clean. I don't like cleaning."

"My granny loves cleaning! But daddy and mommy sent her on the first thing smoking. Oh yeah! I didn't tell y'all the good news it's been awhile! I'm getting a little brother!"

"Congratulations TJ! I know you can't wait."

"Nope I can't! And I'm getting a dog."

Leave it to my mommy to bust this happy moment with a lecture. I picked up a stick spelling my name. "As they should have that's not anything you discuss on a playground with kids of all ages running around and adults in earshot range. TJ is five years old. Did y'all know that?"

"Yes ma'am." They both said. "That's the thing Mrs. Evans no adults were around us we sit on the bridge over there and talk about it." JT said.

"The bridge? Is that what they're doing now?" She put her hands over her eyes. "I forgot my sunglasses this sun."

"I guess so I haven't been back on the bridge I sort of taught another kid about that and my mom banned me from the bridge and when I come to the park she has to come with me."

"Your mother is here." Daddy asked.

"Yes sir. She's right there." I gasped. "Hi mommy."

"Ms. Mary is your mommy?! Where were you Sunday we at children's church cutting up?!"

"TJ, Mercedes, Sam…hey."

"Hey. What are you doing here?"

"I'm here to check out this playground I got a call that my son taught another child about it, organisms and everything us under the son. Didn't I tell you to stop talking about that?"

"I called you a few weeks ago about TJ."

"Girl! That was you?! You sound different over the phone. We got him in check, right Simon."

He flinched. "Y-Yeah but it wasn't me. Y-You told me not to go to the bridge. I haven't been over there since."

"Hey Simon and JT what's that thing you taught us last week hot tea bags, teeballs, bagingtea, bagertea…." Cody shouted.

"Oh you mean teabagging that's when the guy puts his dick…"

"JT…."

"Mama! I-I-I'm sorry!" JT took off running and his mother Ms. Denise was right behind him, Simon was getting popped.

"Hey! Mama! I didn't do anything! I didn't say it! He did! Sorry!"

"He said it you getting it too."

"Sam TJ isn't allowed to come back to this park no more and once Mary and Denise get done with their boys neither will they. Let's find another park. Now."

"Okay."

"But I wanna play." I shouted pointing to the swings.

"TJ no.."

"Fuck you bitch…" Maria shouted.

"That's it Sam! Azimio! Ray! Let's go!" That's the end of this playground I won't be seeing this park anytime soon. I feel sorry for JT and Simon but y'all said they were bad and they mama's got them in check! Let's jump to Monday people. We'll jump back in the next chapter.

Monday Morning…

"What's going on with my eye? It won't open! MOMMY!" I screamed running down the hall to her room. I tapped her a few times. "MOMMY my eye won't open."

"What?" She turned on her light. "TJ don't touch it. Didn't I say don't touch it. Oh my goodness. "

"It itches mommy this eye was close too but I rubbed it open." She moved my hand.

"Oh that has to be pink eye. We're going to Urgent care."

"What's going on? I heard TJ screaming. Is he having dreams again?"

"No Stacey can you wake up Ray and Azimio we are taking TJ to Urgent Care now, I think he has pink eye. Can you get him dressed because I have to throw-up right now." She covered her mouth running into the bathroom. "BLAUAUAUAUauaaauuuuuauuuuuBLAUAUAUAUauaaauuuuuauuuuu."

"Ewww…"

"Come on TJ let's get you dressed." Auntie got me dressed and I'm waiting on mommy so we can go to the hospital. "TJ don't touch your eye."

"It itches. Can't help it."

"TJ stop, have this, that, card, okay. I'm ready. Stacey is you coming with us."

"No, I'll stay back just in case you need something ran over I can bring it."

"Okay, Ray or Azimio." She tossed them her keys. "Y'all are driving." We arrived at Urgent Care and not too long after our arrival we were being called back.

"Thaddeus Evans."

"Right here. Darn it I left my phone home! Your father probably calling right now."

"You'd be right. Here." Ray handed over his phone.

"Sam, I left my phone at home we're at Urgent Care TJ, woke up this morning with his eye shut he opened one eye lid and he's trying to get the other one open…TJ stop it. Don't touch it. Yes, where did he get it from? We did take him to the park and he did a handshake with JT and Simon, and I sanitize his hands once we were in the truck. The doctor is here. I'll call you later."

"Mrs. Evans and Thaddeus what brings you in?" He asked crossing his arms.

"I tucked my son in bed last night everything was fine with his eyes he wakes up this morning with this."

"Well let's take a look at this. Has he had any discharge?"

"Yes, he has."

"He looks happy? Does he have a fever? Has anyone eyes got sick?"

"No."

"Could something have gotten into his eye?"

"No."

"Okay, let me check his ears it's a 50/50 chance that he could have an ear infection?" He put that thing with the light in my ears. "That ear is perfect, this ear is perfect. Let's check your throat. Say Ahhh."

"Aaaaahhhh."

"Throat looks perfect; stick your tongue all the way out. He has it in both eyes. We're going to give him an antibiotic eye drop 3 times a day in each eye. Mrs. Evans your son has pink eye has he been around any one infected with it." He asked mommy writing up the prescription.

"No, we are very clean people in our household."

"A friend or a family member that he has come in contact with."

"His cousin Gabby did spend the night but she stayed the whole week and this came on suddenly I don't…TJ didn't Tank touch your face and Bunny hugged you."

"Yeah Tank touched my face."

"Okay that we would explain it you can get pink eye from direct contact with an infected individual's secretions through hand to eye contact, spread of the infection from bacteria living in the person's own nose/sinus. Pink eye has many causes one of which is getting fecal matter in your eyes."

"Wait! Fecal matter! That's poop." Mommy eyes bugged out.

"I GOT POOP IN MY EYE MOMMY! I WANT IT OUT! I WANT IT OUT!" I jumped off the table wiping my eye on mommy's shirt. "GET IT OUT! I WANT IT OUT!"

"TJ! Calm down! It's okay you don't have poop in your eye. Oh my goodness! I knew Tank was filthy but that's just so disgusting. How long does pink eye last?"

"Pinkeye can last about a few days to 2 weeks."

"Two weeks. No, school starts in two weeks I can't have...why did his nasty self-have to touch your face."

"But with the prescription he should be good within 3 to 4 days."

"Whew! That sounds better because we have things planned for next week and that was going to put a damper on the end of the summer bash we're having."

"He'll be good by then. He's strong kid! Here is your prescription. You guys are all set to go."

"Thank you doctor."

"Thank you at least I don't have poop in my eye." He laughed. Mommy picked up the prescription and we're back home finally! I just want to scratch my eye but I can't.

"So, was it pinkeye or something else?" Aunt Stacey asked squinted looking at my eye. "That's so nasty."

"No, its pinkeye and you won't believe what the doctor told us at urgent care of what can cause pink eye."

"What?"

"That you can get pink eye from fecal matter."

Aunt Stacey jump scrunching up her face. "Ewww….that's poop!"

"Yes! When the doctor said poop TJ had a fit! He screamed I got poop in my eye mommy I want it out!"

"Where did he get it from? I know Gabby doesn't have it."

"Tank touched my sons face and his aunt hugged him one of them two are nasty and disgusting and I'm putting my money on Tank so for the next few days my baby has to get these drops in his eyes and it starts now. He said it should clear up in 3 to 4 days I hope it does. We have things planned and that means Ian can't come over this week."

"How does your eye feel TJ?"

"My eyelids feel like dry paper when I blink it's gross!"

"Lean your head back TJ."

I leaned my head back and mommy drop the eye stuff in my eye. "Owww it stings." I cried.

"That's what the doctor said would happen it would sting and your vision would be blurry for 5 minutes. Don't touch your eye. Everyone needs to wash their hands thoroughly for these few days use antibiotic wipes on surfaces. I don't want anyone to catch TJ's pinkeye."

"You need to call Blaine and tell him that Ian can't come over this week. Here is the phone I already dialed his number."

Mommy took the phone. "Blaine! Hey I know I said that Ian could spend the week but there is a hiccup in that, TJ has pinkeye, yeah so we're going to have to reschedule him in like 3 to 4 days. Sorry. Okay bye."

"TJ! Didn't I tell you not to touch your eye wash your hands."

2 week jump…

Sam's POV

Training camp is over! I'm home for the week! Our interview airs tomorrow night can't wait to watch it.

Tanks POV

"Ain't shit on TV, commercial, commercial, commercial. What is this?" I turned up the volume.

"Coming up next my interview with the Evans Family won't you stick around for that…..

"What is this shit? Up next the Evans Family?! No, that's my family! My son and wife! This bull shit."

"My son he saw his "father", and I use quotations because that man isn't his father my husband is his father. TJ he saw him hit me. I couldn't have my son in that environment anymore saying he loved me and all of this it was toxic, he trapped by getting me pregnant and after he raped for the second time, hearing my son scream and cry for him to get off me that was it, that next morning TJ was balled up sleep at the door, tear stained face, I replayed his prayer in my head, I said "go", I never looked back came here and that was that."

"No she did not just say this on live television! No she did not!"

"Are you going to tell us his name?"

"Yes….his name is…"

"You better not say my name! Mercedes don't do this shit! I dare you to say my name!"

"Reginald Mason."

"Bitch!" I pulled out my gun shooting the TV! "I can't believe that shit! She said my name! I got to get out of here."

"What was that?" Sarah asked. "It sounded like you shot something! Why you shoot the TV! What's going on?! Tank! Tank!"

"We have to go! I need to change my appearance and all of that shit Mercedes done fucked up now!"
