Raging Love(64)



“Exactly, I don’t want to be dealing with his drama with morning sickness. It’s bad enough.” Miranda stopped talking immediately. She looked at me and smiled. “We just found out yesterday before we came. I just wanted to wait until I was further along to tell everyone. Please don’t be mad. I wanted to tell you last night, especially after Ty told me he slipped and told Colt. I honestly thought he would have told you this morning.”

I looked over at my husband and shook my head. “He is going to get it for keeping such exciting news from me.” I pulled her into a hug. “Our kids are going to be so close again. This is awesome, Miranda. I bet Ty is just out of his mind excited. I know he was counting down the days to start trying.”

“Oh my gosh, Van, you have no idea. He ran around the house jumping up and down for at least an hour. The car ride here was unbearable. Keeping it from Bella was even harder. His knee was shaking so bad in the car, it felt like we had a damn flat tire. Every second we have been alone, he is touching my stomach. My God he cannot keep a secret, it is ridiculous.”

We both started laughing. Our celebration conversation was cut short when we saw a paper plate being thrown toward Ty’s face. The mystery girl backed up away from the table. As Ty wiped the food off of the front of his body, Colt and Conner stood face to face, screaming at one another.

They kept pushing each other, finally Ty getting in on it, making it even worse, obviously.

“I am tellin’ you to back the fuck off, Colt. It ain’t none of your damn business,” Conner yelled.

Colt pushed him back and got him sitting in the chair. “It is my business when you are supposed to be workin’. What the hell is wrong with you? What are you on, man?”

He stood up and pushed Colt to the side. “Get out of my face, Colt. Mind your business and stay out of mine. Don’t you have a wife and a kid to tend to? It don’t matter what I am doin’, cause it ain’t none of your concern.” He took his hands and motioned for Colt to move out of the way.

Ty walked in front of Colt and shoved Conner to the ground. “This shit will not happen when you come to stay with us. I will not have my daughter and my pregnant wife seeing you this way. Get your fucking ass up, take that little bitch home and clean yourself up Conner, or this whole deal between us is done!”

Obviously, Conner hadn’t heard the pregnant part. He shoved Ty hard, making him lose his balance. He went ass first into the pool. Conner started walking away and I watched as Miranda went flying toward him. He stopped when he reached her. “Move, Randa.”

She didn’t say a single word, but instead, slapped him right across the face. He quickly grabbed her by the wrist and began to shove her out of the way, forcefully. Colt was coming from one direction as Ty leaped out of the pool and clothes-lined Conner to the ground. Wet fists pounded Conner in the face. “If you ever lay a fucking hand on my wife again, I will kill you. She is pregnant you piece of shit.”

Colt pulled Ty off of Conner and he just laid there looking at his sister. “Randa, I wouldn’t have hurt you, I swear it.”

She held her hand out for Ty and they walked into the house without saying another thing to him. I turned to Colt, who was running his hand through his hair trying to figure out what the heck had just happened.

Conner started getting up, but ended up just sitting up looking at both of us.

“Get your shit together Conner. If you ever come into my mother’s house and disrespect her again, you will have to answer to me. Dammit boy, grow up. I don’t know what you’re doin’, but you better stop. You ain’t got shit without this family, Cuz.”

Colt grabbed me by the waist and walked me back into the house. I still had no idea what was going on with Conner, but obviously I was the only one who didn’t know. I guess there were more things Colt hadn’t told me.

The three women had gotten up from the table and were helping Lucy clean up. I started to walk over to offer a hand, but Colt grabbed me by the hand and pulled me into the small powder room. The space was confined and I had no idea what was going on. “Are you okay?”

“I want you and Miranda to take the kids to our house.” Colt stared at me like I was supposed to read his mind.

“Care to fill me in on what the hell is going on? We were just having breakfast and then you’re outside fighting. What is wrong with Conner? What aren’t you telling me Colt?”

“Sugar, I’m not really sure. It’s definitely alcohol, but I reckon’ it has to be somethin’ else too. I don’t want you involved in this.”
