Monday….
Mercedes POV
I got the most devastating news just as she walked through the front door. My mother is back. Why? What did I do to deserve this?
"Please tell me I'm dreaming. Mom is back?!" JJ asked shaking his laptop in frustration. "When were you going to tell me?!"
"She's back."
"Oh you got jokes. I thought you and Sam sent her back home? Daddy did fall down the steps? Did he not." I nodded my head. "So why is she here?!"
"He did but she hired him a nurse! She still wants to be here with us. I have to tell Sam she's back."
"The baby isn't due until next year! She can go I'll drive her back to Ohio the only way she can stay here is if she moves out!" He flopped down beside me.
"Mommy, granny is stressing me out already."
"See! TJ's tired of her. Where is she at?"
"In my room wiping down everything granddaddy should have put down his foot." TJ stomped.
"If only he could."
"Come on TJ. Let's go find something to do and let mommy get her relaxation in what little she has now."
"Okay, where is Uncle Stevie?"
"Good question, let's call him on our walk."
TJ and JJ left for their walk I followed them outside to get some fresh air soon as I sat down Sam was FaceTiming me. "Hi baby. I have a little time so I decided to call you. You look upset. What is going on?"
"Sam, my mother is back."
"Darn it!" He sat down his phone facing the ceiling. "I just washed these shorts. I gotta wash anyway. Why?! Your father he did fall down the steps?! Right?"
"Yes, he did. She hired him a nurse."
"What?! Who open the gates for her?"
"I think she took a remote with her."
"Get it back! Baby I know we talked about moving next year to San Diego I think you need to look in it now."
"What about TJs' school we haven't paid all that money for him to go to a public school."
He smacked the side of his face. "You're right totally forgot about that. I'll look into school transfers. Other than that how is TJ?"
"He seems fine. He's up now with uncle JJ here they come now."
"Okay I want to see him."
"TJ your daddy is on the phone!" I yelled he darted over to me.
"Hi daddy I got poop pink eye from filthy Tank! That means when he didn't wipe his butt from boo-booing he had some under his nails. That's nasty!"
"That is nasty let daddy see your eyes. Uh. Wow. Hmmm...it itches?" Sam scrunched up his face. "Nasty man touching my sons face."
"Yeah but with the medicine it helps it a lot. You know granny is back even the reviewers are upset she's back! We all think granddaddy should of put his foot down but he can't he got to keep it lifted."
"That's right granddaddy got to keep his leg lifted and we got to keep him lifted in prayer that he heals quick. You like granny being back?"
"No, she just got here and she already stressing my life. Mommy said we need to pack up and come to San Diego. Are we?"
"No not this time. We'll talk about that later. I got to go run. I have a meeting to get too. Love you guys."
"You too bye daddy."
"Bye baby. How was the walk? Did you get in touch with Stevie?"
"Yeah, he's out doing some work. Strange I'm always used to him being around here." He peeked through the glass windows."Mom is in the kitchen. Uh-oh she's on her way out here. I'm going to the guest house." He ran off.
"Where is JJ running off to? Cedes I already washed TJ's linen on his bed and put clean sheets on as well, also your bed too."
"T-Thanks mom. TJ, don't touch your eye. Go inside and wash your hands then ask Aunt Stacey to make you a warm compress." I got opening the door. "Stacey can you make TJ a warm compress and make sure he thoroughly washes his hands, then send him back out here."
"Okay."
"Thank you." She rubbed her hand over my belly. "Mom what are you doing?"
"Just letting my grandbaby know that granny is back. I'm back AJE can't wait to see you. How is the pregnancy so far, when is your next appointment? I mumbled under my breath sitting down. "Did you say something?"
"Uh…yeah I said AJE wants a snack." I faked laugh. "So when are you going home? Thank you Aunt Stacey. Keep this on your eye for a few minutes."
"I'm staying until she gets here. You never answered my question."
"What question?'
"When is your next appointment?"
"September, Sam is coming along with me."
"So will I. Where is Ms. Gabby, is this her week?"
"Last week was her week this week was going be Ian week but we had to reschedule because of the interview and TJ came down with pinkeye."
"Interview, what interview?"
"Daddy, mommy and me did an interview it's going to be on TV in a couple of weeks. Mommy did a good job."
"What is this interview about?"
"A little bit of everything, football, relationships, and the abuse I went through." I mumbled. "Yeah, did you call daddy to tell you safely arrived here? Before you call him, who opened the gate for you?"
"No, I didn't. I used my remote. Let me FaceTime him. Hi baby! I'm back! See how happy they look. Come on y'all smile!"
We flashed fake smiles. "Yeah, look somewhat happy. When are you coming home?"
"I told you Joshua I won't be back in Lima until the baby is born we have an appointment next month and then I'm going to get started on the baby room."
"Sooo saved by the phone. Sam's mother is calling me. TJ let's go talk to grandma while granny updates granddaddy on her adventures here so far." We went inside the house upstairs to the bedroom. "I'm so happy you called me! Let me FaceTime you."
"There you guys go. Hi Mercedes and TJ."
"Hi grandma where is grandpa?"
"He's taking a nap decided to call my 2 favorite people well 3 favorite people in the world. 4, no 7 favorite people in the world. TJ, do you have pinkeye? Mercedes?"
"Yes, Mary, TJ has pinkeye. Let me catch you up to date it's been awhile Tank mother got killed."
He gasped. "What? How? When?"
"Yes, a bus driven by Artie last week so Sam, TJ, myself, Azimio, Stacey and Ray we went to the viewing of what we thought was the viewing it was the funeral."
"Why did you go Mercedes? You know Tank is all about himself?"
"I know mom I just wanted to go to the viewing write my name in the book to show let TJ show his respects and that's all. We weren't going to go but Sam after putting down his foot lifted his foot."
"My son just can't say no to you. You must got that fire!" I put down the phone laughing. "You know it's true!"
"Mommy what's the fire? Do I got that fire?"
"T-TJ, no you don't have the fire."
"What he asked Mercedes?"
"He asked me does he have the fire."
She blinked in surprise. "I shouldn't have said that. No TJ you don't have the fire baby what's up your eye? So, where did TJ catch pinkeye from?"
"Grandma I got poop pink eye I got it from Tank he didn't wash his hands after boo-booing."
"Mercedes what?"
"Tank touched my baby's face he woke up this morning with his eye closed he got the other on opened, took him to Urgent Care where we found out that fecal matter can cause this. TJ's been calling it poop pinkeye. Baby just say, pinkeye."
"Mommy it is poop pinkeye the doctor said it himself you get it from poop! He's trifling. Thank you for my books grandma, tell grandpa that I like the pop-up Avenger book. I'm going off to read my book. Love you grandma."
"I will do that I love you too TJ. How is the pregnancy going so far?"
"Basically I feel awful my nipples are so sore I felt crampy I sleep a lot, I'm thirsty a lot, I sleep most of the time, and this first trimester is kicking me."
"Awww it's going to improve soon. All that going on it's a good sign. Sam, sent me this calendar, you're seven weeks so AJE is the size of a blueberry my son is over the moon with this baby. When is your next appointment?"
"My next appointment is in September on the 12th, Sam will be there for that and probably my mother."
"Your mother I thought y'all sent her on the first thing smoking out of San Diego. Why is she back already? Sam told me your father fell down the steps? I know he didn't heel that fast."
"She hired him a nurse and returned not too long ago. She's already stressing me out with her presence."
"How she get in y'all got a gate up? Don't tell me she took one of them home with her only to return to give herself entry."
"You are correct mom. I'm just…"
"You need me to come out there. I'll come out there and give your mother the exit. I don't mind."
Monday Evening…
Stevie's POV
"Shoot I just wanna take a shower and head back to Sam's house but I got to grab this video." I got out the car and these bright lights came on. "Who is this? What do you want? I don't have any money."
"Stevie where in the hell are my boxes." Tank got out of the car limping. "I know you know where they are."
"What you mean? Why in the fuck are you here at my house anyway? You know what Tank your ass be popping up like a damn pop-tart you need to pop off somewhere." He pushed me.
"I got good timing. You got something of mine my damn boxes." He pulled out his gun cocking it. "Where in the fuck are my boxes Steven Randall Evans." He put it to my left temple."
"I-I d-don't have no don't have no boxes of yours! G-Get that gun out my face."
"I'm not taking shit out of your face." He opened the gun chamber. "One of these bullets has your name on it. Don't fuck with me. I want my damn boxes. I know y'all got them. Let's take a ride you're driving. Don't try anything fancy. Get in the car." He kicked me with his good leg. "Rick you sit in the back. Get your ass in the car you're going to take us on a little drive up in this protected fortress where Mercedes and TJ are at. Is Sam there?"
"W-What if he is?"
"Your ass trying to be smart I asked you a damn question all you have to do is say a yes or no."
"Yes, he is home." I lied I just don't want him to know Mercedes is there alone she's not. "Sam is there."
"Either way I'm still going to get my way up in there. Don't try anything funny!"
"So how much a ride like this cost. This is pretty sweet. Look he even has a photo of my son in the mirror. You like being an acting uncle."
"Acting uncle. You mean acting daddy. I know what you did to Mercedes. You are a sorry waste sperm that needs to die."
"You gonna believe that shit she says. Y'all think Mercedes is this goody two shoes princess, when she wipes her ass it smells of butterflies and flowers. You don't know the real Mercedes! I'm the victim she hit me! See this mark right here." I squint my eyes seeing this small dot that resembles more of a bump like a bump. "She did that."
"I bet it does and that tiny ass mark look like a scratch you need to wash your dusty ass because of you touching my nephew face he got pinkeye."
"Acting Uncle Stevie focus your ass on the road and don't say shit to me. You hear him wanna blame me for TJ getting pinkeye he probably got it from y'all y'all always up in his face. I saw how they were babying him at my mother's funeral. He's a big boy!"
"Motherfucker." I said under my breath.
"I know you didn't just call my cousin a motherfucker!" Rick kicked the seat. "You the motherfucker! Drive! Don't turn your head around."
"When they put this shit up?"
"Last week, it's to keep unwanted people from gaining entrance to Sam and Mercedes house keep TJ and Mercedes safe from the likes of you."
He punched me. "Say something else smart imma off your ass! Hit the damn button!" I pushed the button. "Open sesame to King Tank! Drive! Park right there. Let's go, get out don't make any sudden movements."
"Get his ass out here! Yell for Sam! SAM! BRING YOUR ASS OUT HERE! I GOT SOMETHING OF YOURS AND YOU HAVE SOMETHING OF MINE!" Tank yelled. "Walk up them steps yell for someone. MERCEDES! TJ! I'M HERE TO TAKE Y'ALL BACK HOME!"
"JJ….Puck! I need y'all help Tank is out here with a g-gun to my head. Get out here now!"
The door flew up Stacey and JJ standing there wide eyed. "The hell! Tank! Let him go!"
"NO! I got one damn question for you do you have my boxes!"
"You got a gun to his head for some got damn boxes! What's in these boxes Tank you asked me about them at the store and this shit?"
"That's none of your damn business. Give me my damn boxes."
"Move the gun from his head dumb ass." Stacey screamed. "J3!" She ran up the steps.
"No! Boxes, I remove the gun from his head, no boxes I shoot him.
"Get the boxes JJ! I don't wanna die! JJ, please!" I put my hands on Tank arm trying to lessen the grip.
"Stevie you aren't going to die no, no you aren't! I'm not getting shit!"
"THE FUCK IS THIS SHIT! LET HIM GO! LET HIM GO! TANK YOU LET MY BROTHER GO OR IMMA KILL YOU!" Puck shouted.
"You ain't gonna do shit! You the other one from Target."
"Yes, I am. You are a pretty stupid person, you hired someone to do your dirty work and by the looks of it you kidnapped Stevie to gain entry. Let him go or I'm going to shoot and kill your cousin. You not supposed to be back here anyway! My sister has a restraining order on your ass!"
"Fuck that piece of paper! That don't phase me I'm not afraid by it! GIVE ME MY DAMN BOXES!"
"NO!"
"Fine…say goodbye Stevie!"
KAPOW…KAPOW
"Dear lord please let Tank gun misfire and shoot in one eye in your mighty name Jesus and we will give you the honor and glory you so deserve Amen and Amen again!" Stacey prayed. "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
2 weeks later….
Sam's POV
Training camp is over! I'm home for the week! Our interview airs tomorrow night can't wait to watch it. Everything looks the same as I left it last week.
"Wait? Is that my mother?"
"Sam! You're home! Nice to see you son." She pulled into a hug.
"Nice to see you too mom, what are you doing here? Where is Mama Jones?"
"Oh, she went back home Papa Jones put down his foot well not all the way down he told her that if she didn't return home on the first thing smoking that he was going to freeze her credit cards she packed up and was gone in a flash!"
"That's all it took! Why didn't I think of that when she bombarded up in here 3 weeks ago?"
"Daddy you're home finally!" TJ screamed running over to me I picked him up spinning him round.
"I am! I've been waiting for this and this." I leaned down kissing Mercedes. "Since I pulled out of San Diego I heard the good news!"
"Yeah, daddy got my mother out of here! I cut a step when she was gone. Hey! Daddy did!" She started cutting a small step. I joined her.
"PAPA JONES DID IT! Alright baby stop that's enough hopefully that step you cut before this one was a mild one don't need you jumping all around unless I'm the cause and reason of that." I yawned flapping my tongue.
"Okay I'm going need you to not talk about that around TJ, no wonder he's so advance for his age on that topic! Spelling names and all of that lets get inside TJ let your parents catch up." I set him down.
"I'm happy to be here. Let me look at you." I stood back. "You are sexy! Mmm…can't wait to move into the new house so I can come home to this all the time. You think we got time to do a little something something."
She raised her eyebrow. "That can wait. Let me say hi to AJE. Hi daddy's girl. I'm home tonight we'll get started on your lessons in Na'vi.."
"Sam! Too soon!"
"No it's not." I pulled out my phone. "See it says right here her ears are more prominent. I've been itching to get to this week and here we are next week we have our ultrasound. Is my mother coming?"
"Yes, she's going to FaceTime my mother. You're ready for tomorrow night baby."
I hugged her from behind. "With you I'm always ready. Is the ND family coming over?"
"Yes, they are."
Mercedes POV
Saturday night everyone is over Sam was unable to get a copy of the interview so we're watching it with everyone else on tonight. Lord. I'm nervous.
"There you have it ladies and gentlemen you met the new coaches in the NFL and how they got that start now meet their families. Coming up next my interview with the Evans Family won't you stick around for that…"
"Here we go guys! Get your pee-pee breaks in and snacks now! I don't want anyone moving! TJ you got to pee." He shook his head then ran off to the bathroom. "Uncle JJ hurry it up! I got to drain the lizard!" He crossed his legs holding himself.
"TJ! Don't say that. He's coming out soon. Baby you want your drink refreshed?"
"Sit down baby I'm home this week I got it. I'll be right back."
"Alright TJ it's all yours."
"Thank you."
"No, I didn't teach him drain the lizard." His hands raised going to the kitchen.
"Who is in the bathroom? I got to drain the lizard!" Puck banged on the door.
"That would explain it on where he got it from."
"Who is in there?" Puck was jumping up and down.
"TJ."
"Done!"
"Stop. Did you wash your hands?" He shook his head no. "Go back in there and wash your hands you know better Thaddeus. Thank you baby."
"Okay guys! We are a few seconds from being shown in folks game rooms, dining rooms, living rooms, and bedrooms. Here we go!"
"And we're back I told you before the break that we'll meet the Evans Family and we are, Sam, Mercedes, and their son TJ. I was welcomed into their beautiful house 2 weeks ago we just sat and had us a good ol' time talking I felt like I was one of their friends. The Evans Family.
"Here we go! Look at us baby. You look so good!"
"Good Afternoon Sam, Mercedes, and TJ. How are we today?"
"I'm good now. I have my beautiful wife and son with me. Baby how about you?"
"Every time I'm with you all things are good."
"Ditto for me!"
"Awww…..look at my grandson."
"That's good. Mr. Evans you told me over the phone of how you met your wife? Would you share with everyone?
"We all know this story. High school!" Rachel shouted.
"Sure I met the Mrs., in high school I knew from the moments that I laid my eyes on her that she was the only one for me. We had a few bumps in the road and our timing was off but I was on the winning side."
"That you were. Mrs. Evans was it the same for you love at first sight?"
"Yes, it was." Sam leaned down meeting puckered lips.
"Yes, it was we met in October and then that summer we had a summer fling."
"Oooh…a summer fling? What did that consist of?"
"Yeah, what did that consist of y'all? Summer fling? Late night kisses movies, a carnival."
"Kurt…shhh.."
"Just a simple relationship free of drama we got to know each other really well over that time. Went to the carnival and thinking about that Tilt-a-whirl always makes me smile. That was the foundation of what was to become…Samcedes."
"Oh you named it?"
"Yes, but more so merged it we are Samcedes or MerSam."
"I love Samcedes."
"I prefer Samcedes! Yes! JJ is a Samcedes shipper!"
"We do too."
"Mercedes, Sam told us that the both of you are already married but he popped the question to you explain that."
"Well Sam and I eloped and he didn't pop the question so he asked my dad for my hand and then he asked our son for his blessing, over the weekend he surprised me and proposed. It was the most beautiful night ever."
"Sam what was your take on that night the eloping at you popping the question?"
"The eloping was a spur of the moment we did it for our son, TJ we had something to take care of and daddy wanted it done the right way. Me popping the question, I asked her father for her hand he said yes, while I away at work I called home to talk to TJ and ask for his blessing of course he said yes and then I planned it all with the help of my mother-in-law and our best friend Kurt. That night was the best night of my life, can nothing pull us down or apart. Mercedes and I are perfect for each other I made a wish by throwing a bunch of coins in the East River and every day my wishes are coming true. We're married, still going to have a big wedding and we're expecting our second baby due sometime around May."
"That's so sweet. Sam you have incredible taste on that ring. Newly engaged, a son, a baby on the way Mercedes you're getting back in the studio how are you going to adjust to doing it all because being the wife of a coach it's like being a single mom?"
"I've been doing it all by myself for the last 5 years it's not going to be anything new the only difference will be I'll have a baby and my music career to juggle. Spring things shouldn't be as hectic we can have a routine in place then we'll go from there."
"TJ you have been waiting ever so patiently and you are the most adorable boy. What do you think about your father being a coach?"
"I think it's awesome he's the best daddy for the job."
"That's so sweet. Do you want to play football one day?"
"I would love to play football see this dogtag this is my uncle Finn my aunt Rachel gave it to me as one of my christening gifts I got 11 godparents and he played football in high school he was the quarterback and his number was number 5 I thought I wanted to be the running back but I want to be the quarterback just like him. He was their leader and I want to lead."
"Awww…he talked about Finn. TJ that's so sweet!" Rachel wiped her tears. "Awww."
"That's so sweet and what would your number be?"
"Number 5. He's my guardian angel and with number 5 on my back uncle Finn is not too far off track."
"Aww…I bet your Uncle Finn is proud of you."
"I know. I am proud of him too. I love Uncle Finn."
"Now we're going to take a serious turn here I want to see, what is your take on domestic violence in general and in the NFL and in all of sports? Do you think what they have in place is good enough or should there be more done? With man on woman relationships everyone is vocal but when it comes to the same sex there's not a lot of people voicing their concern."
"Far as domestic violence in the NFL I think that it's about time they got something in place if you look back in past years you'll see that players were getting one game and a fine or 2 games or just a fine it was confusing. It took that incident to happen for people take notice it's been going on it just wasn't talked about. What they have in place they need to build on it every single day a woman is hit by their boyfriends or girlfriends same-sex same problems and it hits close to home for me because my fiancé well wife was in abusive relationship."
"YES! TELL THE WORLD MERCEDES!" Santana shouted at the screen.
"Here it goes. I squeezed his hand he leaned over. "I got you baby. Then and now."
"Mrs. Evans you were in abusive relationship?"
"Yes."
"How long was the abusive relationship?"
"I was with him for 7 years and the abuse lasted for 6 years."
"Oh my….hmmm…what is your take on domestic violence in the league?"
"It's like a fraternity not everything done will be known until you cross then you see the ways things are handled. There are a lot of women who stay hush-hush about this because they don't want to disrupt the flow or leave this new lifestyle but when you need them to be there for you. They're not there. They're coming to you for you to not do this or that. How can you have something in place when the thing in place to help is broken? I'm glad they have this in place but I think it's too late. Most of the damage has already been done.
"That's true I like that that they had something in place I just think it's too late myself/ So, you were in this relationship for 7 years 6 years of abuse, and you had a child by this man?"
"I didn't have a kid by this man on purpose, he got me drunk, raped me or sexually assaulted me, lied saying that he used protection he didn't 6 weeks later I find out I'm pregnant to answer your next question abortion wasn't an option, neither was adoption. I could have left but threatened me that he'd take my son. I eventually did leave one of those times he hit me I returned back to him."
"Why? But here you are Mercedes Jones an artist? You could have gotten help?"
"I know I was a shame I'm not afraid to say it. I couldn't go back home my relationship with my parents wasn't strong, I lost contact with all of my friends, he wanted me to depend on him for everything and he hurt me in the process and I did."
"What made you leave for good?"
"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."
"Sam, what do you have to say about this? What did you say when you found out this?"
"Every time I hear that story I want to cry no one should ever go through that or son should hear their mother crying f-for him to stop. It's s-sad. When I found out what my wife went through I wanted to remove her right then and there I said some choice words they do not need repeating but I was not happy."
"Hmm…I did not want to take this route with this interview but we're going there. Did you document the bruising kept photos?"
"I did. I have the diary I read through it very painful not many happy moments the happiest was when our was born."
"You say our son, but he's your son?"
"No, she said it right he is our son, he is my son, making the baby doesn't give you the title of father or daddy, I've been caring for our since they got here and I'll never stop. I'm his father on paper and reality. We had a talk about real daddy. TJ knows. Son, what's a real daddy?"
"A real daddy is you, you care for mommy and me, make her laugh and smile, not cry and be sad all of the time. You correct me when I'm wrong and offer praise when I'm right. You show me how a mommy should be treated love, honor and respect and for this alone you are forever and always daddy. I love you daddy."
"Always and forever son."
"Serves you right Tank! I hope your crusty crunchy nasty ass is watching this! Shouts out to real fathers!" Quinn screamed. "I still want to cut his mini tank. I hope I get the opportunity."
"That is right. All you men out there take a page from Sam's book he's a real father. Don't' let me get started. Okay. Do you have a picture of him?"
"I do have a picture of him but I don't want his face shown. He deserves no shine all he deserves is to be publicly humiliated."
"Mercedes! You should have showed his picture!" Blaine said. "I hope they found one and put it up there. He needs more humiliation did you drop his name."
"Wait…you might get that hold on."
"I totally agree with that being said are you going to tell us his name?"
"Yes….his name is…Reginald Mason, also known as Tank."
"WON'T SHE DO IT! HEY! SHE DROPPED HIS NAME! GET YOUR SHINE ON TANK! SERVES YOU RIGHT! I'M STILL WAITING ON YOUR ASS!"
"Tana!" Sam said.
"What? Shoot it's the truth." Brittany pulled Santana down. "Okay I'll calm down."
"Tank this is your shine! You are a low down dirty shame dog! What was the condition of Mercedes when she arrived here?"
"She had broken ribs, busted lip and two black eyes and a concussion."
"You took her to the hospital?"
"Yes, I took her to the hospital and she stayed with me for a few days and she went back."
"Why did you go back if you were in a safe environment?"
"My son he was left behind."
"Why didn't you bring him with you?"
"He wouldn't let me."
"That's so sad. So sad Mercedes I'm glad that you are talking about this. This needs to be heard and not just once but over and over again it goes on everyday morning, noon, and night. There is no breaks in between. I wish you both the best Mercedes seems you found our happiness."
"I have waking up to these two beautiful faces is what I need."
"That's great. Let's end this interview with a song. Someone told me that this young man right here has vocals TJ, care to sing us a song."
"Sure, what would you like to hear?"
"Surprise us."
"Okay I'm going to sing this song for my mommy and daddy because he is home to stay tweaked the song because that's what I do. You're his love, you're his angel mommy you're the girl of his dreams, and he'd like to thank you for waiting patiently my daddy's home my daddy's home to stay how you waited for this moment to be by his side, you wrote in diary and told me you had teardrops in your eyes my daddy's home, my daddy's home to stay but he made a promise that you treasured he made it back home to you he's not a thousand miles away, he's gonna be here come what may..my daddy's home to stay."
"That was the Evans Family and doesn't that TJ have vocals! That boy is going to be a heart-breaker when he gets older. After the interview we later got a call from Mrs. Evans saying she wanted us to show her abuser photo. Here he is. Reginald Mason that scum! Tank you need to house a few bullets in your body! You are a waste of sperm that truly needs to die! Up next the Higgins Family stick around for that after these messages."
"Go Juju! Tell us how you feel!
"What did you guys think of the interview?" I muted the TV.
"I'm so happy! That you finally got this out and you dropped his name and photo! That took a lot of guts. Here is to you Mrs. Evans!"
"Bravo!" They all stood up giving me a standing ovation. "TJ excellent vocals!" TJ bowed.
"You aren't afraid Mercedes after what happened last week. With him coming here because I got my bus filled up and waiting."
Sam went in his pocket handing Artie some money. "Just in case should that do?"
"Yeah, this is more than enough."
"To answer your question Artie I was afraid because I really don't know what Tank is capable of see what he did with my brother and TJ at the P-A-R-K, but no, he has been doing all of this behind closed doors let the world know the name of the man that did this."
Puck's POV
"RICK! YOU SHOT MY COUSIN YOU MOTHERFUCKER! RICK! RICK! GET UP! DON'T DIE ON ME!"
"He's gone! But you come here!" Tank started running chased him down with Azimio and Ray on his ass. "Get him! Drag his crusty ass back here. Show no mercy! Beat his ass up! J3 call 911. You okay Stevie."
"Y-Yeah! Whew! Y'all thought I was a goner!" Stevie was moving head side to side. "He had a good grip on me. Let me stomp his ass." With every stomp came a word. "WHAT THE FUCK IS YOUR PROBLEM! WHERE IS SANTANA WITH HER MATCHES WHEN YOU NEED THEM?"
"Let me get in on this." Stacey came out with Mercedes frying pan. "I HATE YOU! TRY SOMETHING NOW!"
"Me too. PawPaw this is for you you'd love this. STICKS!" JJ kept poking the stick in his groin.
"STOP! THIS IS ABUSE! THIS IS WRONG! HELP ME! THIS IS ABUSE!" Tank screamed.
"What is going on here in my house?! Who got shot? Why is Stevie stomping this man and Stacey got my good frying pan?" Mercedes said peeking out the door. "Stevie, Stacey, JJ, Puck, J3 what happened?"
"Mommy, what's going on?! Don't say another one of my uncles got shot! If so I'm ready to shoot Tank myself!"
"TJ baby go upstairs! Now!"
"This bloody piece of shit right her is Tank he's here asking about some boxes, the boxes in the basement he had Stevie in a headlock with the gun to his head threatening to pull the trigger. I pulled the trigger killing Rick. Azimio, Ray, Stacey JJ, and Stevie beat up Tank ass and we're waiting for the ambulance and the police to get here."
"He had a gun to Stevie's head box for some boxes?! Some boxes Tank! Why are you even here?!" He opened his blowing kisses at Mercedes. "Everything is about your selfish self! Tank move on! Get a damn clue! We are through stop texting my phone, asking about Sam's son, and asking about your baby. I'm not pregnant with your baby Tank!"
"That's some bullshit you know it! You are pregnant with my baby."
"This baby that I'm pregnant with is not yours, this baby is Sam's there was a fear that I was carrying your child but all them test that were positive were out of date I'm not pregnant with your baby and ever since then Sam has been spraying up my place in hopes of getting me pregnant. His men marched to their destination and latched on to what it wanted. My husband is batting a thousand and this bundle of joy is his. We are no longer connected."
"What about TJ he's mine?"
"No, TJ is Sam's too. We are no longer connected to you the only thing that connects you to my son is your blood and even though that's your connection I wish it Sam's blood running through Thaddeus Evans veins. My son will never grow up to be like you. I'm telling you this to your face so when the day happens you won't be surprised. Sam's son will grow up one day and win awards and be all on the screen and when he goes to accepts his award I want him to thank his father, his one true father. Samuel Thaddeus Evans, beat him up Puck but before that stand him up." J3 and JJ helped him up.
"What you gonna kiss me?" He puckered his lips making kissing noise.
Mercedes looked him up and down. "No, I'm going to do this. You done this to me many of times it's time for a payback." Mercedes drew back her hand leaning back as far as she could go she moved forward her armed gently flowed smacking Tank silly! "Now you can beat him up again Puck."
"You ain't say nothing but a word. Get me a bat!"
