TJ's Journey to Parenthood - 7. Chapter 7

“Why is there black smoke?” I said

“Oh no” Bob said getting scared

“We need to get out of here” CC said hurriedly grabbing Tristan

“TJ you need to stay with Emma” Bob said

“Come Rusty and Mark, grab my hands” Mary said and they vanished. Everyone else did too but Emma and I. The pounding on the door increased like they were trying to break it down but couldn’t. I heard someone pounding on the window but the glass wouldn’t break. Emma was looking at me the whole time. I swear I saw the door bend but it didn’t break; same with the windows. What was going on?

“TJ, I can’t believe what is happening” Emma said

“Me either, I want whatever your door and windows are made from” I said

“It’s not the door and windows keeping them out; it’s you.” Emma said

“Me? I’m not doing anything” I said

“Your subconscious is; it’s protecting us.” Emma said

“This is just weird.” I said

“It is but we need to confront who is on the other side before they do something terrible. TJ, I need you to trust me.” Emma said

“I do.” I replied

“Then I am sorry for what I am about to do.” Emma said as she slapped me in the face. Once she did that the door flew open and in walked Randy.

“What the fuck.” Randy said looking at us

“Hello Randall” Emma said

“You” Randy said pointing at me

“Hey Randy” I replied

“You know what I did” Randy said angrily

“I do and you are going to pay for it.” I said and Randy laughed

“You think you and this old hag can stop me? Hell Margaret didn’t even know what hit her.” Randy said letting out a sinister laugh

“You won’t get away with this” I said

“Oh you’re going to stop me?” Randy said

“You bet your ass I will” I challenged

“Who do you think stopped you from getting into the house?” Emma said

“Your family is a bunch of freaks and I’m not stopping till they are dead.” Randy said

“What do you mean we’re freaks” Bob said stepping from behind the wall in the kitchen

“Bob uhh what are you doing here?” Randy said

“TJ told me to come back” Bob said

“What did you hear?” Randy said

“Enough to know that you really are a piece of shit; we’re through Randy.” Bob said angrily.

At the moment Randy brandished a gun and pointed it at Bob

“Well, let me take the leader of this fuckery out” Randy said and fired a shot. It was as if time slowed down; I saw the bullet moving in slow motion and before it hit Bob it reversed course and hit Randy.

“What the fuck just happened” Randy said falling to the floor

“You see Randy not everyone is as dumb as you.” Emma said

Randy fired the gun again and the bullet did an abrupt turn and hit Randy again.

“If I were you I’d stop firing the gun.” I said

“You Faggot.” Randy said and fired again and this was his final shot as the bullet changed trajectory and hit him right in the heart.

“Bob, should I heal him?” I asked out of concern

“No, let the man with internal homophobia die.” Bob said and Tristan reappeared

“Brudder, are you ok?” Tristan asked

“Yes, I saved everyone I think” I replied

“What exactly happened?” Bob said

“It appears TJ was saving anyone Randy tried to hurt.” Emma said

“You mean he stopped those bullets?” Bob asked

“Yes he did and he even prevented Randy from coming in.” Emma said

“Well I did until you slapped me” I said

“You slapped my brudder” Tristan said angrily

“Yes, I needed to break his concentration. I am sorry about that TJ” Emma said

“So Randy killed Margaret.” Bob said

“He killed Rylan for Margaret and after she wrote him off he killed her.” I said

“Bobby, I think deep down Randall loved you but he had his own self-hatred and was living everyday with what he had done.” Emma said

“My sister would have henchmen; she was friends with the wrong people.” Bob said

“She definitely was and she was jealous of what Jillian and you had personally.” Emma said

“So how did you figure out who killed him?” Bob said

“I had a feeling for years Margaret was involved and I had access to her memory and I scowered it looking for clues when I came upon her and Randall completing the task.” Emma said

“I really thought he loved me.” Bob said

“Bob like Emma said deep down he did but he couldn’t let it get out that he killed Rylan and Margaret.” I said

“Killing a Senator is not good for ones resume. I actually talked with Randy at Margaret’s funeral as he had been friends with Margaret for years.” Bob said

“This is going to sound strange but I get the feeling you are going to find someone Bob.” I said

“Ah it finally kicked in” Emma said and started to waltz around again

“T2, Let’s dance” Tristan said

“Anything for my brother” I said smiling at him

“What kicked in Emma?” Bob said

“The boy’s intuition and ability to see the future” Emma said smiling

“Oh like we need another Emma” Bob said rolling his eyes

“Emma is fun” Tristan said

“Yes, I am my little friend. You could learn something from this boy Bobby. Have a cup of gin and relax for a change and stop being up tight.” Emma said

“Emma you know I can’t” Bob said

“Bobby you never were a free spirit; I know just what you need.” Emma said and walked off

“TJ, just be careful.” Bob said

“Bob I can tell she’ll never hurt me. In fact, if you don’t want to get stoned; I suggest you leave.” I said. Just then Emma returned with a couple of joints

“Now the fun begins.” Emma said

“No pot for my brudder.” Tristan said

“Come on a little never hurt anyone.” Emma said trying to light it but couldn’t get anything to light

“Having trouble Em?” Bob said laughing

“Every time I light something it goes out instantly” Emma said

“No smoking near baby” Tristan said and crossed his arms

“Young man, respect your elders.” Emma said lighting a match and all of a sudden there was a flash and Emma was covered in soot.

“What happened?” I said

“Never talk down to kids” Tristan said glaring at Emma

“You did this?” Emma said

“Yes. I said no smoking and you still trying.” Tristan said

“Young man, this is my house.” Emma said

All of a sudden the house imploded and we were standing in the rubble.

“Not any more” Tristan said

“What just happened?” Bob said looking around

“I think Emma is pushing Tristan’s buttons and he leveled her house.” I said

“Brudder, we need to go” Tristan said and grabbed a hold of my hand and we vanished.

“Where are we little man?” I said looking around

“We in my room” Tristan said proudly

“Are you dad’s here?” I asked

“No, but look out the window” Tristan said with a smile. I looked out the window and there on the pool deck Cody and Christian were fully enjoying themselves.

“Tristan that is private.” I said

“If it’s private no do it on the deck” Tristan said. I couldn’t deny that logic. We went down and I opened the door and I’ve never seen two people run that fast.

“Boys, it’s ok. It’s just me and Tristan.” I said

“Doesn’t matter; we need to cover up” Christian said

“You don’t have anything I haven’t seen before” I said

“What are you doing here?” Cody said pulling up his shorts

“I was with Tristan and he brought me here.” I said shrugging

“Oh Congratulations on the babies” Cody said

“Thank you.” I said

“Brooks and Miles are in town visiting. Should I call them?” Christian asked

“Sure; I’d love to see them” I said and he disappeared into the house

“He’s still shy being naked around people.” Cody said

“He’s got nothing to be shy about; he’s a very handsome man.” I said

“He really is” Cody said dreamily

“My daddy told you no dicks on the deck” Tristan said and I laughed

“He said what?” I asked

“What he means is no sex on the desk” Cody said blushing

“So not the first time huh?” I said and Cody blushed even more

“No” He said looking at his feet

“It’s ok Cody, you’re both teens with raging hormones.” I said

“B and Miles are on their way” Christian said

“Chris daddy gonna be mad at you” Tristan said crossing his arms

“Hey buddy, this is just between us” Christian said

“No daddy gonna know.” Tristan said pointing and sure enough hidden amongst the bushes was a camera.

“Oh shit” Cody and Christian said

“Who knows maybe they will love it and jerk” I said shrugging my shoulders

“Daddy not a jerk brudder” Tristan said looking at me

“Not what I mean buddy; I will explain later.” I said

“B is here” Christian said checking his phone as mine rang

“Go get them and let me answer this. Hey Kevin” I said as their faces went pale

“So I heard my son made a house implode and now you’re at my place.” Kevin said

“Yes we are here and are chatting with Cody and Christian; Brooks and Miles just got here.” I said waving at them pointing to my phone

“I figured but I need you to talk with Cody and Christian about having sex on my deck.” Kevin said

“I think Tristian might have saved us from that conversation” I said and told Kevin what he said

“My boy is definitely looking out for us” Kevin said

“That he is. You don’t mind if we are here do you?” I asked

“Not at all; I just know Emma is angry as for some reason they can’t get the house to rebuild.” Kevin said

“She really angered him so maybe he’s got some kind of hold on it?” I said

“That’s a possibility. Go visit with the boys and I’ll see you later.” Kevin said

“Thanks Kevin. Talk to you soon” I said and ended the call

“What did Kevin want?” Cody said nervously

“Nothing Tristan hasn’t covered already” I said

“So they saw us?” Christian asked

“They must have; you know he’s only looking out for you?” I said sincerely

“Yeah, It’s just embarrassing” Cody said

“You guys got caught again?” Miles said chuckling

“You two need to calm those hormones.” Brooks said

“There has to be a story here but anyhow; how are you both” I said

“We are doing pretty well. This week is the first time in months we could get away from the club” Brooks said

“Yeah running it has been really interesting.” Miles said

“I heard about what happened” I said

“The city tried to shut us down but between Bob and Kevin.” Miles said

“I am glad they could help you both out.” I said

“Brudder” Tristan said holding Jamie

“Where did he come from?” I asked

“How you have baby and not know where he come from?” Tristan said

“Daddy I came see you” Jamie said

“Jamie you aren’t to supposed to leave” I said sternly

“Katie tell daddy I have your brother.” I said

“I heard you babe; wondered where the bugger went” Jackson said

“So guys this is Tristan James Michaels the 3^rd also known as Jamie” I said

“What an interesting name.” Miles said smiling

“Yeah I needed another TJ in my life” Brooks said laughing

“I wonder if he’s going to be anything like his dad” Brooks said wiggling his eyebrows

“Dude, I’m never going to live that down am I?” I said turning pink

“Hell no” Miles said laughing

“Sounds like a story” Cody said

“There definitely is” Brooks said

“So this one time…..”
