Shane's POV
The mall was starting to clear out as closing time drew near. "Damn ain't no one up in here this is how I like it. What?" I wasn't paying attention I tripped. "Damn I'm sorry for that. You okay?" I flipped the person over. "Sarah." Slowly she opened her eyes. "What are you doing on the floor? How long you been down here?"
"I lost track of time once Mercedes punched me in the nose that was it people been walking by taking pictures with me none of them offered to help me up." She touched her nose wincing. "I think my nose is break."
"Think?" Pulling out my phone I snapped a picture. "Look at this it's all big and curved with a dent it even has her ring print oh no that's just some trash on the floor, Mercedes only punched you in the eye I saw the feed on twitter."
She punched me. "If you saw the news on twitter why did you leave me here for all these damn hours? I was embarrassed."
"Sorry ma I was busy looking for Tank nothing on him yet, have you got a phone call, text, tweet, or something."
"No. Help me up." Helping her up I slipped a few bags on her arms. "Shane you want me to carry bags in my condition."
"Hell yeah, you fine it's only your eye the floor broke your fall, let's get you to the hospital get you back looking somewhat pretty again. Did she say anything about me?" She shot me a look. "Sorry too soon Mercedes should have never laid her hands on you."
"Damn right. She's got it coming back to her." She pulled down the visor. "I'm still beautiful right."
My eyes shifted in her direction without taking my eyes off the road. "Yeah, you are. Let me turn on the radio to lift your spirits."
"Scoot back Scoot back it's the The KiJay Smith Morning Show at midnight J. Low I'm still in the studio I haven't been to sleep yet I was sleepy a few hours ago but I caught my second wind I'm going to sleep good in a few hours. Right now it's time for After Midnight where I'll answer one of your questions about love. Caller you're on the line make it quick I got some breaking news to report."
"Okay all of my sisters are married and I met this dude online and he proposed to me I said yes but I don't know if he has a job or not? I called his supposed place of work they never heard of him should I get married?"
"The answer is hell no why do you want to get married because your sisters are married that is the stupidest reason I ever heard get your ass off my line with that you envious of what your sisters got so you want the same because their grass is green you think your grass is gonna be green too, from what you told me your grass is dry and patchy in some areas like that dude. Sounds like you are man crazy you aren't ready for marriage is nothing to be played with every damn day someone walks down the aisle because they "think" it's the one knowing good and well once your music plays you made a wrong decisions but when it comes time for witness participation when the preacher ask if anyone here objects to speak now or forever hold your peace nobody says nothing they twiddling thumbs, look at the ceiling, checking their phones they know your marriage is going to be a failure instead of saying I told you so they gonna smile tell you congratulations then talk about you on the way to the reception they want you to see the mistake that you made ain't no damn reason for you to have all these people in the wedding and you probably gonna pay out your pocket if you that damn lonely get a fish. Moving on that's the only call I'm taking to night, too much damn foolishness. Breaking news in the Mercedes TKO, Sarah has finally been helped up off the ground by Shane she is yet alive either way the damage is done. I have a ditty no don't play it I'm gonna sing it, she got helped on up, Shane helped her up now, so they both can get knocked…Mercedes Mafia call in open phone lines hang with your girl!"
"Who I have one the lines with me?"
"Parker."
"Parker! How is the sleepover going?"
"How do you know about the sleepover you at the radio station?"
"Well, Parker I'm the one that wrote you in that chapter and decided along with Deja and the crew about the sleepover what's on your mind?"
"We are wondering how will you use that thing you know that thing."
"Yes, I know what you talking about. You'll see continue with the sleepover thanks for calling in Parker I'm back after I share this with you the BTA has sold out in a 1 day damn! That's a lot of people. 15 minutes before the hour."
Mercedes POV
The only sound I could hear was the thumping of my heart in my ear I opened the door thinking it was dream I jumped at the site of Rachel. "Yikes! Rachel you scared me get in here." Quickly I shut the door locking it.
"Mercedes why are you locking the door wasn't that Sam that ran out of here? Denise did a tuck and roll out a moving car, what is up?"
Grabbing her by the hand I pulled her to the back door. "Go out there to the guest house for me tell Azimio, Ray, and J3 that Tank got out."
"Okay I'll just tell….." Her eyes bugged out her head. "TANK GOT OUT!"
"Shh…." Running to the stairs I looked up. "No boys. Whew!"
"He's out?!" She whispered. "How did he get out? Where is Puck? Where is Lucky? Does Puck know? You don't think..."
"I don't know but go tell them what I said now! I need them to get Sam back here."
"Okay, okay, okay."
Cupping my hands to the window she made it to the house. "Good here they come." I opened the door. "Did you tell them all the way?"
"No all I said was "Ta" they took off running I'm going to stay here with you until they bring Sam back I need to stay busy but first how did you know that Tank got out."
The sight of Tank affected me I had to do my breathing exercises. "One more time inhale and hold it for 3 seconds." I patted the arm 3 times. "Okay I answered the door I thought it was mom I took her set of keys after her impromptu visits but it was him he knows where we live I want to move back to LA."
"Mommy when are you coming up here to give us a bath I'm stinking you said it yourself that I smell like the outside and I don't know how the outside smell." He sniffed his shirt. "Hi Aunt Rachel what are you doing here? Where is daddy?"
"Daddy went to go help Aunt Tana with something you run along upstairs either Aunt Rachel or me will be up there to get you boys ready."
He shrugged. "Okay guys we got some time before we hit the shower I want to tell you about this girl in Aunt Denise class."
"Get your hands off me!" Sam yanked his arm away from J3. "Why did you pull me back I had my hands on him?"
"Look at the logo of my damn shirt! This is why I pulled you back this don't need to get out, Stevie, Denise, Preston, and Deja are on their way Tana is back home Azimio are dropping Tank off somewhere, how in the hell did he get out?"
"I…" My phone rang. "This is Puck." I put the phone on speaker. "Hey Puck."
"Not going to beat around the bush Tank got out you all need to be…"
"We know! He came by here, how in the hell did he get our address?"
"Fuck! He took Lucky car he found it in there where is he at now I'm about to leave Lucky ass in here he alright I think." Sam walked towards the steps sitting down I handed my phone to J3. "Denise said Lucky ain't worth two dead flies that Jenny should kill him off. He can't get right Sam was about to get in Tank's behind."
Our eyes connected as I rubbed his hand. "It looks like it hurts." He put his arm around me. "Sam…"
"Shh…. I know what you are going to say you're nervous, you should be you got me I'll go above and beyond for my family. Let's leave J3 and Rachel to talk it out with Puck you and I will go get these boys ready for bed."
"Okay." He helped me up. "Wonder what TJ is talking about?"
"Azimio and Ray got Tank they dropping him off somewhere, you want us to…"
"No, no, I'll call them see you when I get back."
TJ's POV
Ian, Logan, JT, and Parker sat in a circle as I told them about my taste of high school. "I'm walking around Aunt Denise classroom because I'm her nephew and she so loves me I hear one of the boys said that he didn't do his homework that's the same one that ratted me out anyway Jordan turned on her phone so we could tune into the The KiJay Smith Show, Jenny was on there talking about mommy beating up dusty Sarah, it was epic it was PawPaw Muhammed Ali versus Sonny Liston to my before watched cartoon until Aunt Denise schooled mommy in the evils of certain shows that aren't beneficial to my character and upbringing they weren't appropriate anyway the girls are cute Deja still holds the number one spot but this girl named Madison." Closing my eyes I see her. "She can and might get it I've been asking Aunt Denise for her digits on twitter but she laughed at me she wouldn't give me the digits so once mommy and daddy go to sleep we're going on FaceBook JT got Deja's password so we should find her they both were in choir I know that much." Hearing the footsteps and the voices get closer I sat down. "Let's act like we were talking about the games we're going to play later. I picked up that new NBA game."
"I'm playing as that Knicks. It's 5 of us we should have a mini tournament the best of 3 top two square off I can come up with the chart."
"Cool." Daddy knocked on the door. "Daddy where help Aunt Tana with whatever she needed helping with?"
He looked at mommy. "Sam remember I told you what she needed help with." She was mouthing words I couldn't make out. "Remember."
"Oh yeah! I did. Whew! I just did it not too long ago I'm getting old, ready for your baths it's 5 of y'all so one of you gets the luxury of a solo bath who is it going to be TJ, your party you pick!"
"My brother Parker, Logan and me picked out our toys." It was a pillow case of toys. "Want to have fun."
"Not too much fun you have to bath all these toys aren't going in the tub with you pick 3 between the two of you so that's 6. Sam start run the water for Parker the others can take their baths in Alexandra's bathroom."
Alexandra's J POV
Say what mommy the hell they can't that's my bathroom I want it pristine and clean when I crawl through. Come through AJ baby tectus no.

Ha sido un minuto desde que ustedes he bendecido con una oración así que aquí va! El tanque no es bienvenido de conseguir, pero me dio a mi mente una ligera idea de pensar en él y estoy muy agradecido de que fue puesto en libertad, rompe o se paliza Lucky lo que tiene que yo estaba en mi tanque fijar Jesús te vi en condiciones de hacer esto por mí y lo de hoy! ¡Gracias! Amén, cuando puedo poner mis manos sobre Sarah? Tengo que esperar eso es genial. Estoy esperando pacientemente para ella anticipando que la golpeó abajo está en la forma en que estoy de pie sobre sus promesas creyendo en su palabra para que yo pueda golpearla en la cara! Seré la golpeó abajo, golpearla abajo! [Translation: It's been a minute since I've blessed y'all with a prayer so here it goes! Tank is never welcomed to come by but I gave my mind a slight thought to think about him and I'm so grateful that he was released, broken out or beat up Lucky what have you I was in for my Tank fix Jesus you saw it fit to do this for me and him on today! Thank you! Amen, when can I get my hands on Sarah? I gotta wait that's cool. I am patiently waiting for her anticipating that her beat down is on the way I'm standing on your promises believing in your word so I can smack her in the face!

Stevie's POV
Date was an ultimate success Denise wasn't too much focused on Deja and Preston who were a little bit touchy feely over dinner she was still riding the high from beating down Tank the look on her face was priceless. "Denise you good?" She nodded her head. "Still on your cloud 9 from Tank."
"Yes! I wasn't expecting to see him then I see Tana and right behind her was Sam just knew that it had to be Tank so out the car I was didn't even scuff up my heels but I'm tired. Are we going home?"
"No, we're going to Sam's house for a few minutes check in to see if Puck came back and dipped out you coming in or you waiting in the car."
She undid her seatbelt. "I'm coming in so are you two I heard you mumbling about walking home in gateway hands no, . Keep it up the hair on your head gon' be the last thing to worry about Preston Out." She slammed the door. "You know the line Deja, me, daddy, Preston to the car to the front door go. Use your key the light is still on so they still up."
"Go TJ, go Parker! Pass the ball. That's how you do it!"
"Ooh what game is that?" Before I could take one step Denise pulled me back. "I want to see what they're playing maybe get in on the tournament."
"Afterwards, Dej and Preston go in there watch them play boys watch them you know our signal." They all gave the thumbs up. "Good. Mercedes, did you see him?"
"Yes, I was the one that answered the door Sam came pushing me back running because he heard Tana did you get hand on him?" Denise bust out her happy dance. "That's your happy dance you touched him. How did it feel?"
"Better than sex."
Mercedes took her hand shaking her head. "Tank is all kinds of messed up but sex with Sam trumps a beat down that's just me."
"It's the same with Stevie but I hate Tank, when I read this chapter I'm just going to say he got to die, Jenny knows this that's why she typed it. I can't stand him. Did Puck come back?"
"Denise your usual with no sugar."
"Mercedes I got that you two go sit down on the couch prop your feet up because y'all both expecting." Mercedes jumped. "Yeah we're expecting I'm thinking twins or triplets."
"Congratulations you two our families are growing by leaps and bounds all we need now is word that Stacey is expecting."
Arf [She is she not gonna tell y'all though oh, there goes Denise hi Denise, bye Denise. Come on Bailey, Lukas, and Chew. DogsRUs. We'll be later.]
"Did you talk to Puck? Here you go baby. Mercedes you want anything thing? Better yet let me ask your stomach, Alex J your Uncle Stevie wants to know if you anything pie, juice, a cookie."
"She kicked 3 times she wants all of that it's past your bedtime Alex J. No Alex we now…Actually Stevie I'll have all of that and some apple juice thank you."
Gotta give AJ want she wants.
"To answer your question, Puck didn't come back Azimio and Ray are still with him who knows where we're all going to stay up until he returns."
Denise fluffed the pillow. "Pray it's not too long the effects are slightly wearing off I'm gonna catch me a little shuteye."
"That's good, I've been wanting to play that video game since we got here." I kissed her on the cheek. "Sweet babies 3 dreams. Mercedes are you going to stay with her?"
"I'm no I'm going to come in there to watch y'all play."
"Okay"
Conniehey's POV
It's been a minute since you heard from be Jenny decided to give me my own POV. Arf [Thank you for that there go Denise she's dozing off in my favorite chair? Should I jump in her lap or not.]
Arf [Do it CJ show us other dogs how it's done.]
Arf [Okay Bailey I'm going to do it.] I took a few sips of water before I jumped on the couch laying my head in her lap.]
Arf [Your head is in her lap put your how body up on there.]
Arf [I will give me a chance. I did it! I did it! Feels good up here too I'm getting sleepy myself. Oh she put her hand on me. She's petting me! She's trying to live on the furry side of life. Guess it's true that I'm good at chaning minds but I still need love because I'm just a dog all I've dreamed seem to go as plan I don't want you to stop will you pet my paw oh won't you pet me 'cause you know I'm all you need this is love it's clear to see Denise is petting me!]

Arf [Sill yadda, yadda, yadda she tastes like oatmeal and veggies congrats on the pregnancy who knew that Stevie had it in him like that here we thought he was gonna be impotent.]
Puck's POV
"You are right back where you started from Tank, I was going to release you and let you go about your way but you fucked yourself up I'm going to beat you to the point where you don't remember shit. You won't even know what hit you when I get through with you."
He spat in my face. "You can beat me to a bloody pulp I'll still remember where they live at crazy heels live across the street and that crazy chick with the hatchets live not too far. You all need to stop with all this damn beat down of me because there are 2 others out there who are on my side that will sneak in for the kill do your damage I will survive, hey hey."
"Oh that touched me a place where I don't give a fuck Shane and Sarah don't scare me." Opening the twitter app I came across Sarah photo. "See this lady this is your Sarah the one that can fight like a beast you told me that. I didn't care but thank you for sharing she got knocked smooth out by Mercedes. What you got to say about that?"
"She felt sorry for the pregnant lady so she let her have a free hit." He chuckled. "That's it."
"No, that's not it Sarah got her ass knocked smooth out just like I don't feel sorry for you." I pulled back knocking him in the eye. Round 2."
A/N: Sarah is finally up and walking about time Mercedes does have the power and does TJ. Anyone of y'all play fantasy football or basketball? HMU. We'll pick this up tomorrow iamJLS
