.“Oh, I dunno, maybe because she’s pregnant, and you ordered your brother to shoot her in the foot? By the way, you better watch yourself, or you might find that you’re brushing your teeth with a dirty toothbrush.” Tea’s voice cracks with her words, her heart spilling out with each sentence.Sadness drips with each syllable.She raises her hand to swipe the tears streaming down her face.“I’ll be damned if I’ll lose another family member because you fucknuts are angry and taking it out on one another.You’re lucky Grandma Berry is at her house with Mace right now.She’d shoot all of you for acting like this.”It takes a good five minutes for her to collect all the guns, and once she does a mental rundown in her head, she speaks again.“Winter, yours now.” Tatiana holds the can out to her.“The other one, as well.Seriously? I know most of your deepest secrets, so stop trying to pull one over on me.” Tatiana says, exasperated, one hand going to her hip in aggravation.“Dad, stop smirking.I know your brass knuckles are hidden behind your wallet, and so help me god, Rap, if you even think about reaching under your cushion for the knife that I call a sword, I will roll your ass off a cliff.”Once she is satisfied she has all the main weapons, she gets down to business.“Winter, go nest somewhere,” she orders.When Winter doesn’t move, Tatiana snaps at her.“GO!”“I’m going.” Winter throws her hands in the air as she walks out of the room.“You both need to go, as well.” She glares at Piper and Storm.“I’m sorry, but I’ve been in this family for almost nineteen years, and it’s time I start speaking up.If they want to share with you, they can, but for now, leave.” She points to the door.“And shut what’s left of that door behind you.”When the door closes behind the women, Tea sets the trashcan down and crosses her arms.“Well, I can honestly say I have never once been ashamed of my family, until this moment.Yeah, sometimes it sucks being a part of it, but I have never, and I mean never, been so let down in all my life.” Sadness drizzles from her tone.“Here is how this is going to go.Braxxon, and yes, I called you Braxxon, not Godfather.You will have to earn that title back because you sure as hell don’t deserve it right now.You can be pissed at your wife all you want, but you cannot, and I can’t stress this enough, you cannot order your brother to shoot her! What in the hell were you thinking?” She stares at Braxxon, waiting for his response, but he lowers his gaze to the floor in shame, and doesn’t speak.“That’s right.You’re ashamed of yourself too, now, aren’t ya? Well, you should be.” She takes a deep breath before continuing.“You will let yourself cool down, and when you can rationally talk to your wife again, you may leave this room, and not a moment sooner than that.I’ll be watching you.”She turns to Sniper and hits his shoulder.“And don’t even get me started on you, Sniper.Yeah, you lost the uncle shit, too.You were actually going to shoot her! I have half a mind to tell Grandma Berry, so she can poison you for a month straight! You think Pop is proud, looking down on the lot of you right now?” A look of disgust covers her face.“He’s probably looking down with pity and shame that his sons would even think about shooting a woman, let alone a woman carrying his grandchild!”“Y’all may be grown ass men, but that shit that just happened,” she gestures around the room, “is childish behavior, and since y’all want to act like children, I am going to treat y’all like that.Timeout until your shit is cooled.”Tatiana sighs now that she’s finished chastising the adults for their wrong behavior.It is ironic how I kept calling her a child, and now, she is the only reasonable adult in the room.And fuck if she doesn’t look stunning in my eyes.“I am tired, so damn tired of the drama and the violence.I get that you’re in an MC.I do.But don’t ever turn your back on family again.This isn’t how we function.Take all this hate and direct it towards the people who deserve it, not on the people who love you more than life itself.” She shakes her head back and forth a few times before turning her attention to me.Oh, shit [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
