"Hey guys, heard the news? Maya is in the hospital." Christian said to Ty and Janice as he enters the living room. "Yep, we heard, her mother called me early this morning and gave me an ear full, about how I'm encouraging my brother's feelings for my wife and how it's Caleb's fault why her daughter is in the hospital because he choose to leave her and go be with his sister-in-law and yeah, how we're a sick twisted family and how she expected better from me, etc etc," Ty said rolling his eyes.
"Oyi, not the best way to start the morning, so, are you going to encourage him to go home to her?" Chris asks. "Nope." "I, um…I heard her pressure is critically high, maybe we should try talking him into going home." Chris said scratching the back of his neck.
"Look, if he feels like he should be by her side then he'll no doubt be on the next flight but I will not ask him to." "Why?" Chris ask. "Why? Because when she insulted my wife she insulted me." Ty said through clenched teeth.
"Damn, dude has a dark side, did not see that coming," Jared said from the door. "Anyway, I tried talking him into going home, did not go so well," Jared said biting his lips. "What did he say?" Chris asks. "Well he said he doesn't normally hurt family but if I didn't get out of his face he would break a few of my ribs, so I got the hell away from him, fast."
"So I guess that means he won't be going home then," Chris said in a low tone. "His wife, his choice, I have to go, I'll see you guys later," Ty said walking over to his wife and kissing her passionately. "I love you kitten." He whispers against her lips. "Love you too baby." "Love you little one, I can't wait to meet you." He said kissing her stomach.
"By the way, where are your kids?" Chris asks. "They're at the park with cousin Sandra, her kids and Miss Alice." Janice answers. "Oh, okay, so what are we doing today pretty lady?" Chris asks flopping down beside her. "You promise to binge watch season 2 of the Originals with me today remember?" Janice pouts.
"You just love those blood sucking vampires, don't you?" Jared asks rolling his eyes. "Hell yes, especially Klaus." Janice laughs. "Alright have fun guys, I'm out." He said kissing her again and walking from the room.
"Yow Jason! Lets go." Ty shouts on his way out the front door. "Jayden, you're up." Ty said as he walks towards the car. "Protecting precious cargo, I'm on it." Jayden said with a salute.
"I swear, I could stay in that bathroom the entire day." Jason moans running his fingers over his face and neck. "Well you and Janice can thank Samson and his friend for his epic bathroom later; right now we need to go." Ty laugh starting the car while Jason fastens his seat belt.

Ty was just about to eat some of the delicious lunch that Janice packed for him when his phone rings. "Hey young cuz, what's up?" He asks into the phone. "Hi Ty, I saw your two miss calls." Scott said. "I was just checking in to see how you and your little chipmunk are doing?" Ty chuckles.
"Oh, we're good, still in summer school, still doing our dance practice together and she waits for me when I'm at my other practices." Scott says. "Oh, I thought she went to Japan with her mom and dad." "Nope, only the two of them went, getting some alone time, working out some of their problems." Scott says.
"Okay, got it." "So will you be able to make it to any of the family gatherings next month?" Scott asks. "Uh, not sure yet, Janice can't do too much travelling." "You can't miss Chris's party though." "I know, he's here in Atlanta right now and it's all he talks about." Ty laughs. "That's going to be one epic party." Scott says.
"True that, so take care of yourself okay, I'll talk to you guys later." "Sure thing cuz and you do the same but hey, um is Caleb still over there with you?" Scott asks. "Yep." "Oh, I just thought that with his wife in the hospital he would've came home." "Yeah well he's still very angry at her but don't worry about it, he'll return home as soon as he is ready alright." "Okay."
