A/N: The trick is surprise is still up my sleeve I had to tweak the last chapter to make sure this person don't find out. Let's go!
Happy Reading! (:
Mercedes POV
"...I kept TJ home today because he has an ear infection and a fever he's asleep right now gave him some children's Tylenol that knocked him out, he's in bed with Conniehey and Bailey I'll send you a picture. No I'm not home alone Deja is here my mother and your mother went to get their dresses for PawPaw's wedding and daddy went with your dad to get his tux. I love you too. Bye." I snapped the photo. "So cute Conniehey and Bailey when TJ wakes up one of you bark." I went back downstairs. "PawPaw and Monica still here or the left."
"They left I gave them the keys to the house so they can pick up Hammy."
"He's still alive?! I knew for sure that Denise would have spotted him and took care of that." I opened the freezer. "You want a pizza for lunch we can crumble up some bacon on top."
"Yes! You read my mind I saw Hammy when we got back but mommy pissed me off when she chopped off half of Preston's hair tossing her hatchet that I let him walk on by. I was going to pick him up and put him in the bed with them but in her words I'm trying to live."
"Oh, yeah don't need a repeat of what happened at the hotel she'd wake up the whole neighborhood, what are you working on there? Songs."
"Just a little something for my mother I asked PawPaw could we use his building for that and he's agreed just hope he doesn't show up in his 'fit from the 70s I don't want to see no gray chest hairs, gross." She scrunched up her face. "Taking a break from all of this I got do this and that call the people put more bacon on there, yeah that's good. My mini boo asleep."
"Yes, knocked out I want to thank you for helping me out around the house today."
"Aunt Mercedes it's nothing." She hugged me from behind. "I love hanging out here you have bacon not that nasty stuff my mom calls food, I can talk to my friends without someone lurking over my shoulder, you don't talk about how dress." She modeled her outfit. "What do you think about this?"
"It's cute I like it. Mom doesn't like it."
"Nope she doesn't I picked this number out I didn't FaceTime her when I went shopping, auntie I'm 19 and she still wants to go shopping with me. These are the things she says about some of my selections it's too short, the neck line is to low; arm length is way too short, and, pretty sure when you bent over to tie your boots everyone saw where your future kids will come, can't do this, can't do that, it's not approved it's a gateway meaning opens the door to other things to her holding hands is a gateway to hugs, hugs to kisses and kisses is the gateway to sex, the umbilical cord is cut I'm not longer milking off your food let me be."
"Now didn't she buy the car, the apartment, you have credit cards. You can put it in the oven." I sat on the stool. "Now did she do that?"
"Yes, she did but my clothes."
"Deja I get it you want to do your own little thing but you did lose her trust, you have to gain it back baby girl. Just continue to do what she says the trust will return."
"Fine I'll do that but I'm still eating bacon that's one thing she can't change about me I'm her special child. Alex J picked up some nice clothes for herself I can't believe that Preston donated to her cause and she has a laptop or tablet in the womb. Maybe yes, she can." She rubed my belly. "Alex J this is your favorite cousin Dejanae I want you to buy me some cute clothes…" I popped her hand. "Auntie come on she can."
"No, she cannot I will be shutting down her account I need my baby to be a baby not some fetus with a following, hear that Alex J you are getting shut down."
"Ooh she's not going to like that." The bell rang. "It's UPS another package for Alexandra! I'll get it. Thank you, the name is Evans. What is that car doing out there?"
"You said something…" The smoke detector went off. "Gosh! Whew! Let open the windows! The pizza is burnt. It's all smoky in here."
Alexandra J's POV
Excuse you! You gonna do what I'll do it myself, Cinny grab your tablet we're going to shut down my GoFundMe account since mommy wants me to be a normal fetus ain't nothing normal about me I got a pet and a boo. What does it say about that?"
Cinny – Well the website says that removing your campaign doesn't automatically refund your donations that you have to contact their team if you want that done.
Now why would I want to do that? I'm keeping all of my funds they must be out they damn mind I might only the size of a papaya but I know the value of running a hard campaign I'm going to tweak the slogan of then senator Barack Obama, Yes I did! I can still assess my money right.
Cinny – Yup! Done you know Tank ass got a twitter?
He do let me see his profile, he up here venting about daddy's ex-girlfriend dusty ass Sarah she tried to touch mommy belly I felt some kind of way I jumped in my little shower to get clean. Deja sent me a link to that website of the clothes she wants me to buy her. What do you think?"
Cinny – Aunt Denise wouldn't like that too low showing too much skin she'd call it a stripper outfit! Then Deja would respond back with, it's not a stripper outfit it was a romper a one piece outfit.
Reading The Family DMs are we Cinny?
Cinny – Yup! Hammy rolled through! He tweaked a song he said I'm rolling through! It's been a minute since you've seen me! I'm rolling y'all hating I'm riding furry I'm just riding furry.
Puck's POV
"I think I did pretty well at the shooting range, I hit the target both moving and stationary, and how would you grade me?"
"You did, I'll give the of a B- but that F- still stands you have to redeem yourself, did you really have to bring take with you tour paper target?"
He opened it up. "Hell yeah! I want Denise to know that I can shoot she up here saying that aim is unacceptable from a thug who sell guns she hurt my other two feelings." I pulled up in the driveway. "Made it back to the Evans casa her parents are out I wonder if JJ is available to come by."
"I don't know call him up Stevie had to break away to pick up JT." I checked the surroundings locking in on this black car. "That car looks out of place it doesn't belong here Mercedes just came out to get the mail. He just snapped a photo that's him!" I jumped out the car. "Fuck he sped off! Shit! Lucky jump in the driver's seat. Go! Go! Go! Follow him! Who the fuck is calling my phone? Hello! Ray it's you, Mercedes wants to know what's going on. I can't say are you right behind us." He waved his hand. "Cool let us handle this and I'll explain once we get back to the house. It's so much traffic; he's driving on the got damn sidewalk!"
"He turned down a one way street! This fool! Get out the way!" Lucky screamed out the window. "How am I going to stay with his ass and he's driving reckless!"
"No need to worry ease up the police are pulling him over pull in this gas station who knew that it would only take 1 day for this guy to mess up, we should send a Tank a thank you card." I let down the window. "Ray, I want you to do something for us once the police let him go follow him we're going to stay back a safe distance tell us where he goes out then we're coming in."
"Okay. Who is that guy or you not going to tell me?"
"He's….they letting him go! Go! You'll find out later. I know you thinking I should have just told him but I don't want him calling Mercedes telling her that Tank hired hand was outside of their house she needs to hear that for me."
"Totally agree. What are we going to do to him once we get him?" Lucky cracked his knuckles. "I feel like laying hands."
"Me too we're going to do just that, he's in Walmart let's go we not going in we're just going to be waiting for him by his car a little surprise. Ray is right there." I got out the car. "Did he check his surroundings?"
"No, but he ran inside the store dropping his phone in the process I took the liberty of looking through it he has Tank number, did Tank hire him?"
"Yes, he hired this fool Skip to follow Mercedes reason we know is because the fool took a picture of him posting it to his twitter not to even mention he tweeted he was looking for one. In the day and age of social media where everyone is sharing all of their damn business that's one thing that should be kept personal Tank is a fool but it's for our gain. This little number." Lucky placed it under the car. "Will keep us up with him the phone he turns it off may put it in airplane mode and lead us to where the hell he's staying at."
"Shit where is my phone." He patted his pockets. "I need to call Tank to tell him that I found out where they live at. Where…who are you? Why are you sitting on my car? Get the fuck off!"
"I'll get off your car but once my feet hit the pavement I'm going to knock you unconscious to the point where don't remember where my sister lives at." Jumping off the hood I kicked him in the face. "Knocked smooth out you see this thing is what you were looking for." Lucky kicked him in the balls."Oooh by the look on your face that had to hurt I don't care about your pain. Get your ass up." Ray and Lucky helped him up. "I would give you your phone back but no can do what I'm going to do is…"
"Man fuck you! Tank told me about your punk ass how he beat your ass up to a bloody pulp left you crying and begging for him to stop."
"He told you what?! Tank and his jokes. Whew! He so damn funny he should be a comedian that got me in tears." I wiped my eyes. "You hear that, Tank beat me up that I was begging for him to stop. No listen here I'm the one who fucked Tank up on many occasions I have the receipts to prove it I would show you the photo but I can give you a visual of your own." I pulled back punching him in the nose. "Get up! Get up! Not going to, fine. Word of warning every word comes with an assist."
"What…ow!"
"You dumb ass I can't believe Tank would be so intelligent a yet so dumb to hire someone to do….take my picture with him when it's all over for now video!"
Stevie's POV
JT covered his nose. "I know Aunt Mercedes is a good cook but whatever she burnt she need to cook that no more."
"It's a smell I haven't smelled in a while semi-burnt bacon, Mercedes! Are you cooking bacon in the oven?"
"No, well yeah I cut up some crumbled bacon for the pizza part of it burnt and it burnt so I'm making another pizza with bacon and one without, hi JT you're out of school early."
"Today was a half-a-day where is my TJ?"
"Upstairs asleep, he's under the weather he has an ear infection, you can go check on him to see if he's up but if he's not let him sleep."
"Okay!"
She removed the pizzas from the oven. "Perfect! You want a slice of the cheese pizza?"
"And bacon too, did Deja went back home?"
"Yes, she just left before you got here PawPaw fell asleep leaving Monica to catch Hammy, she found him but she's not picking him up, why didn't you catch him? He's been in your house for a few days."
"I had the opportunity to catch him last night I rolled over and there he was eating some cereal JT dropped yesterday on Denise chest."
"Why did you let him do that?! If Denise would have waked up she would have lost it like she did a few days ago."
"I know, I know this is all payback for the safari she cut me off from jets, her life wasn't in danger I rolled over and went back to sleep." She punched me. "What?"
"Stevie that was so wrong what you did I'm going to tell Denise that and you gonna be kicked out the house don't think he can come up in here spending the night, better ask Stacey to stay with them."
"Okay I will, just need to load up on some Aleve…."
"Hammy is captured!" Deja washed her hands. "The pizza is perfect, hey daddy should you be eating that bacon slice of pizza you don't need it. More for me where is butt face?"
"Upstairs checking on TJ I think he's up, you want to take him a slice of pizza?"
"Sure! I'll even be so generous and take butt face a couple of slices he may not eat his, butt face I'm coming up there I got you and my mini boo slices of pizza."
"YAY!"
Arf [Where is my slice?]
Arf [And my slice too I'm slowly trying to get my teeth I need my personal teething ring here.]
Arf [You need to rethink that I scored some of her underwear you might want to nibble on them my dogmail isn't working. She's not gonna rub me.]
Arf [Only time she rubs me is if I rub up against her she then shouts vicious and foolishness so I sucked on her toe one time. It's not that bad.]
"Another box? Alex J is just buying up a storm. How much she raised now?"
"I got 'em!" Puck shouted running in the house. "Hey Mercedes." He kissed her on the cheek. "I got him, just watch the video."
"Who is this person you got and why are you so happy?"
"How'd you get him so quick? This great!"
"You broke off from us to go pick up JT so we came here, Mercedes came out to get the mail, when you came out he snapped a picture I put two and two together that it was him."
"Who is he?" She paused the video. "I'm happy you got him but someone fill me in."
"M-Mercedes this guy that Puck, Lucky, and Ray are both beating up in a Walmart parking lot is Tank's hired PI, he hired his own JJ called me last night while they were out at dinner, hit up his twitter and there you have it."
"He knows where we live."
Alexandra J's POV
Tank knows where we live! Oh HELL NO! Not me not today! Cinny get my suitcase I'm going to pack up my stuff and go over there with my boo. Why aren't you moving? Let's go. Why are you holding that cord.
Cinny – Alex J you are a fetus! You are connected to Mercedes you not going anywhere sit your fetus ass down.
Denise POV
"After the news I got I was going to cry my eyes out but retail therapy should hit the spot let me check my second purse, make sure I got all of my items. Got that and that. I'm good." Someone knocked on my window. "Mary! What are you doing here?"
"Simon and his damn lizard ran me out the house there I was sitting minding my own business watching Sleepy Hollow off my DVR when I looked up he was nesting on the television I jump up and ran out the house, I'm glad I had on my shoes had not I'd be buying me some."
"So you left him home alone."
"Yeah him at that lizard until his daddy get home, what store are we going to hit up?"
"Torrid, I think you should go home back and get Simon."
She folded her arms. "Are you going to up in the house and save Simon?"
"Girl I'm trying to live he'll survivor until either you get back outside something feels off about this mall." My eye started twitching. "Tank is here. I feel him."
"And I forgot my tambourine! There go Shane right here. Which weapon are you going for in your purse your, bocks scissors, or mace? Where is your hatchet that's not your hatchet purse?"
"I'm slipping where is that highly disturbed twit delusional cowardly punk with a face only a mother can love and he needs to be stabbed with a million sewing needles. Let me calm down I'm still riding high from Sundays message. I got my blessing you got your blessing."
"Blessed and highly favored, let's shop." Someone tapped me on my shoulder. "Oh lord Denise!" Mary broke out singing. "Oh, he touched me, oh he touched me."
"He about to get retouched."
"No, no no don't do that he was slain in the floor at church this past Sunday he delivered he got his blessing."
I pushed her back. "I don't care he touched my sister in law, he got to die!"
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO….."
"Come back here Tank I just want to talk to you! You can have Deja!" He slowly turned around. "I mean it, come here with your fine self."
"The hell?"
"See I knew she loved me." He puckered his lips. "Where is my kiss?"
"Right here." I kicked him the balls with each word came a punch. "Don't you ever think that I would give my daughter to you, you sorry excuse for a man no, he's getting his blessing now the pastor told me on yesterday to touch and agree with two people I only did one he's my second one."
"He's running! I got him." Mary dived off the chair kicking him in the face. "Who knew I could do that? Oh Lord I forgot the signal!"
"Who needs the signal we got this!"
"WON'T THEY DO IT!"
