“ I am so sorry for all that your sister and brother have done to you. If I only had known I.” She says until I turn her around to face me
“ Mom neither of us knew. If this never happened I wouldn’t be who I am today.” I tell her seeing some hurt in her eyes
“ Yes. but I would of still had my son. I have missed you so much Heath. I missed my bright blue eyed baby boy.” She tells me with tears before she continues “ And the way those four ladies in there talk you already have enough mothers.”
I look in her eyes and see pain, but also love that she had for me years ago.
“ Mom yes they are like mothers to me, but YOU gave me life not them. I always wanted my mother back and here you are. Let’s not dwell on the past as it is. Let’s look at the now and future as I don’t want to lose you again, and for my eyes well they not that bright anymore as you can see.” I say as she looks straight into them
“ Maybe they are not now, but I plan to make them like they once were.” She tells me as I chuckle
“ Well with you and everyone trying they should be back bright in a few months.” I say as she smiles up at me
“ Well I bet I will make them shine sooner.” She says with tears as we pull each other in for a tighter hug as she continues “ I love you Heath so very much.”
“ I love you mom as I have never stopped.” I say as we look into each others eyes
We talk for a little longer until the kids come out followed by Batman. Once to us they start asking if we are alright. I smile nodding before I get down to one knee as my mother gets on her knees to sit on her feet.
“ Daddy who is she as we are confused.” Karen asks as I turn to see my mother showing tears
“ Well baby girl you know how Grammy Verna is to you?” I ask as my daughter nods before I smile and continue “ Well this is my mother your grammy Maggie.”
Karen and my son’s look at her before looking back at me. Dakota looks at the sand before moving to his grandmother. I watch as Lil Greg follows his brother. They each show her love as she sits in the sand with tears taking them in her arms. Karen and Lil Heath follow as her tears start to flow.
“ Grammy Maggie we love you.” Karen says as each of them place their arms around her
“ I love you too honey. And you three have your father’s eyes.” She says as Dakota looks at her
“ I only have one grammy.” He says as she giggles
“ Sorry baby boy Grammy forgot.” My mother says before looking at me continuing “ You sure about this Heath baby?”
“ Yes mother as they are your grandkids except Lil Heath.” I say as she shakes her head
“ Heath honey he is also my grandbaby as Ellie, Verna, Kiko, and I accepted each other’s kids.” She tells me as I smile
At that moment Batman joins in tackling them all onto the sand making the kids giggle.
“ Off boy, get off me and my grandbabies.” Mom says as I stand to get him off them
Once he is off the kids get up to only help their new grammy up. She looks at Batman who gives her a odd look.
“ So I take it your a grandbaby too?” She asks as he pantswaiting for his turn at getting love
“ Yeah you might say that mom. He’s like another son we never had.” I say chuckling as she pats his head
We get up after some more talking to only make our way back to the house to join the rest of the family.
=====================================================================
Michelle’s POV: Four days later
I am standing on the beach holding Lil Greg as Tyrone, Travis, and Trey surround me after showing up demanding Mom and I to leave with them. I grabbed Lil Greg from mom and ran down to the beach to get away from them to only be followed.
“ Travis grab the kid, Trey grab your bitch of a sister.” Tyrone says as my eye’s go wide as my nephew cries
“ Don’t you even try to take my baby boy from me.” I say as Travis comes to me
“ Give him here I promise he won’t be harmed.” Travis tells me as I am being protective hoping Heath and the others come out
“ No you can’t have him.” I say as Travis shakes his head coming at me
I struggle to keep Lil Greg in my arms as Travis finally snatches him from me.
“ NO GIVE HIM BACK TO ME!” I yell as I feel hands grab my arms
“ No you whore and that is what you will be once we get home. Trey hold her as I take a look at her tits.” Tyrone says coming towards me
“ DON’T YOU DARE TOUCH ME! TRAVIS HELP ME PLEASE!” I yell pleading for my own brother to help me
“ Tyrone what the hell are you doing man?” Travis asks holding a weeping Lil Greg
“ Don’t worry I am not going to hurt her jeez, but she needs to learn her place.” Tyrone says as I feel a slap to my face
“ Do it dad knock her out so I can have some fun.” Trey says as his words shock me
“ Ok son in a minute. Travis take the lil brat and throw him in the water. That way he won’t steal your mother or sister away like your brother did years ago.” Tyrone says as my eyes go wide
“ NO TRAVIS DON’T HE IS YOUR!” I try to say yelling until I feel a hit across my head knocking me out
====================================================================
?????? POV: At that moment not far down the beach
My sister and I hear a woman yell. We look up to see her hit in the head to only be let go falling to the ground.
“ Those Bastards come on sis lets go help her and the kid.” My sister tells me as she stands up running for them
“ NICOLE!” I yell as I get up running after her
I watch as she goes for the guy who is holding the kid that cries reaching for the woman who lays in the sand. As I catch up to my older sister I see anger on her face. She is so much like our father and mothers it’s unreal. Once we get to them she takles the guy as I catch the little kid who is crying.
“ Auntie Michelle help me.” He says as I hold him
“ Don’t worry kid no one is going to hurt you.” I tell him as I see my sister pounding on the guy that held this baby boy
“ Give the brat to me you bitch.” I hear as I turn back to see the other two men coming towards me
“ I don’t think so motherfucker. What kind of man hits a woman then tries to hurt a kid?” I ask as they get closer
“ The kind that will slash your throat. Hand him.” The older man says but doesn’t finish as I see a blurred figure tackle him down as another tackles the younger one down
I turn to see a lot of people running down the beach to help. A Latina woman and a few others come to me fast. Once to me she reaches for the little boy who in returns does the same to her. I hand him to her as I see four others crowd her comforting the kid. I turn to see my sister pounding away at the guy she tackled only to hear her cursing at him. I watch a man come to pull her off the guy as she is still swinging.
“ Let me go the fucker needs to be set in his place.” My sister says as I hear the young guy speak
“ I think he knows Nicole.” He says surprising her and I
My sister stops struggling as he lets her go. I see her turn to see who he is, and that is when her eyes go wide.
“ It’s you Adam is it really you?” She asks as he nods but speaks
“ Actually it’s Jack sorry I lied to you.” He says as my sister looks before she laughs
“ I kind of lied to you as Nicole is my middle name. My first name is Sierra.” She says as he smiles
“ Guys I think it’s bad timing for reaquainting yourselves as they are fighting.” I say as they both look at the scene in front of us
I turn to see a guy checking on the woman that got knocked out.
“ Michelle wake up darlin. Please wake up Michelle.” He says as she starts to come around
“ Adam.” She says softly with tears
“ Yes it’s me are you ok?” He asks with some tears
“ Yes.” She answers before sitting up fast continuing “ Lil Greg where is he?”
“ He is safe, sis has him you just relax.” He says looking over at the violence that is still happening
The woman looks before she turns to look at everyone.
“ MOM STOP HEATH BEFORE HIS HEART STOPS!” She says making me confused
I watch as a woman that looks to be the older version of the woman in the sand runs to the first guy I saw. She gets to him trying all she can to get him off the older man.
“ HEATH STOP PLEASE I CAN’T LOSE YOU! HEATH STOP DAMMIT!” She yells as he turns to see her before turning back around see the carnage he had done
He stands up to only be pushed back by her and three kids one being a little girl.
“ Daddy stop we need you.” She says as I see two ladies get the other guy off the young guy
“ CHRIS STOP I NEED YOU BABY! YOU DONE YOUR DAMAGE!” The asian woman says as he complies in her request
I watch as the two are brought back down to reality. I watch as the tall red head goes to the one named Michelle. He gets to one knee to check on her.
“ Shellie you ok?” He asks as she nods but shows a surprised expression
“ You…you called me Shellie?” She says asking as he nods
“ You tried to save my son your nephew. That shows you love this family and my kids.” He says as I see her start to cry
“ I do love them and OUR family. Please Heathie forgive me and let me be your sister again.” She says making me feel they had a bad moment in life
“ I do Sis just give me a little more time ok.” He says as she nods
“ YOU IDIOT SHE IS JUST ACTING!” The older man that hit Michelle says
I watch as the man called Heath stands up turning towards the older man. He starts towards him to only be stopped by his mother.
“ No Heath he isn’t worth it. Let the bastard go.” She says as he turns to see everyone nod
“ Oh I will go, but this is not over.” The older man says after getting up to help the younger man up
As they leave Heath turns to the first guy walking over to him. I watch as he helps him up to only knock him back down. Heath leans over before speaking.
“ How could you Bubby? Leave and don’t come back. You almost killed MY SON!” Heath says with anger as Travis starts to cry
“You called me Bubby..its been years since you called me that. Wait you said your son..” Travis says surprise as Heath snaps
“ Yes Travis he is your nephew…well by blood any how. As far as I’m concerned your dead to me.You have hurt me and this family Travis. As of right now stay away from my kids as I don’t want them to know their uncle as he once was.” Heath says as he walks away as Travis speaks
