In the morning it was daddy's turn to corral the herd and get them situated for the day. I had Cody on my hip while I prepared breakfast.These fucks don't know what dry cereal looks like, except during summer vacation, ain't that a bitch. Their mother and grandmothers spoil their asses and what they don't do, the grandfathers pick up the slack.I got the bacon from the oven and scrambled a couple dozen eggs. The noise level was off the charts becauseMengele. She was arguing with her brothers that our night out was better than theirs.I guess I should be happy that my kids don't have anything more serious to argue about. Their mother waddled in just when they were finishing up and I had to feed her miserable ass.Of course she didn't want anything I made and it took damn near half an hour to figure out what she wanted. I got her the fruit she said she wanted and sat with her while her kids tried to tear my fuckinghouse apart with their shit."What you got doing today?" I sipped
I spent most of the morning and afternoon with her needy ass, listening to her gripes and painting her toenails because she didn't feel like going to the salon.If anyone sees anything wrong with me doing that feminine shit, then they should've seen me with my daughters when they were toddlers. I don't give a fuck, whatever my girls want, that's what the fuck they get.My boys can't say shit because most of the time they were right there with me, especially Jared's ass. My boys are already dreading the three she's carrying now. They just know they're gonna be worst.If anything is worst than Mengele Kat's on her fucking own, I didn't sign up for that shit. "How's your tummy this morning?" Shit looked like it dropped to me but I kept my opinion behind my teeth.In this house whenever I say something about her pregnancies either she or Elena tries to shoot medown. Because I have a dick I don't know shit. Like I didn't monitor her ass through five pregnancies.She looked over the t
I made my way down to the basement to the lab that she conned me out of. I could already smell that she was up to some shit before I reached the door and as soon as I got there, there was no room for doubt."Mengele the fuI mean what are you up to little girl?""Nothing daddy." Nothing my ass! There were fumes coming out the beaker she was fucking around with.The pothead decided to give her a complete chemistry set and now I sleep with one eye open. The little shit scares me more than the fucks in the desert.The scary thing is that she didn't even flinch at getting caught, just carried on with her shit like it was normal. I'd bet anything that whatever the fuck she was up to was nowhere near anything resembling normalcy."I told you about lying to me?" She has this way of looking at me that makes me want to give her-her way in everything. She was doing that shit now."I'm not lying daddy promise. Daddy can you get me some PVC?" That sounded innocent enough, but I'm not trusting
I certainly wasn't expecting the shit that landed in my lap the next day. After the hell that is Sunday brunch in my house, with the grandparents and Cy joining us, I escaped to my garage to tinker with something.Every year or so I like to upgrade my sons' bikes because they outgrow them as fast as I build them. I could hear laughter coming from inside and that was good enough for me.They make me nuts, but there's no better feeling than having my whole family under one roof. Kat's in her element because she has more than enough people at her beck and call.It's the only time the pothead acts like he has any damn sense these days. For all his bullshit he's a grandpa down to his toenails. Of course by the time he and his wife leaves I'm gonna have to undo half the shit they did.The four grandparents, well five including Cy, thinks it's their mission to outdo one another in spoiling my kids. My sisters and their ilk will be here later for dinner just to round shit up.I'll be pr
Dinner was as to be expected, noisy and messy. I had the whole family at my table and I knew from the way the women were situated that some shit was going on.When my niece kept going on and on about driving lessons while my sisters, mother and wife kept staring at me, I got the drift.I gritted my teeth, clenched my fork and kept my head down. No, just fuck no. I cut into my steak like it was on the operating table and took ten minutes to chew. I'm concentrating on my food, don't say shit to me.I wonder who taught these women that the dinner table was the best place for an ambush? "So Colton what do you think?""What do I think about what Elena?" That piece of meat was almost as pureed in my mouth as Cody's nasty ass baby food. I got a pain in my gut but refused to rub it.These fucking women have given me ulcers, I'msure of it. I cut another piece of meat and the whole table got quiet. I could feel their eyes on me.Even the pothead, Drake and Cy were looking at me now. Ther
By the next morning I'd all but forgotten about him because of all the shit I had going on in my house. Mengele woke me up at the ass crack of dawn with her shit.Kat was miserable because one of our kids was currently living on her kidney or some shit and my boys were trying to tear my house off the foundation. Regular Monday morning fare in the Lyon household."Anybody miss the bus they're walking." Dead silence for a split second and then a stampede. The only one who was doing what they were supposed to was Caitiebear.She was already dressed and ready, but her reasons for that shit was annoying. She was on the phone at six o damn clock in the morning."Morning daddy." She smiled at the look on my face and came forward to kiss my cheek. She's her mother's kid, knows how to play me.Cody started his crying shit and I went to see to him because Kat's pregnant ass wasn't moving before eight or nine. "Daddy.""I already told you I'll take care of it Catalina."I woke up to her st
She talked my ear off while I made her breakfast then bitched because I had to go to work like I haven't been doing that shit the whole time we were married.Since she could work from home I guess she thinks I can build my shit on the computer now too. "Kat was there something you wanted?" A new attitude would be good. Fuck if I was gonna say that shit out loud."Nope, go on about your day. My mom and yours should be here soon to help me with Cody." I sensed an underlying reprimand beneath that shit but held my tongue."I just don't think it's fair that they should have to pick up the slack since you're the one who forbade me to pick him up." When are these kids getting here? When am I getting my wife back?Not that she's any less acidic when not pregnant, but at least then a good hard pounding or a strap to her ass would get her misbehaving ass to straighten the fuck up.I reworked some shit in my head and came up with a compromise. "I'll come home early today how's that?" I walk
I headed out and pulled into my driveway, maneuvering around the cars that were still there. I called out for my wife as soon as I got in the door but there was no answer.I heard movement coming from the backyard and headed back there. I came up short at the sight of them. They were in the pool enclosure. Kat and the bruiser were in the water and the other three were on loungers.I guess Kat figured since I told her not to pick up Cody that water was the best place to defy me. She'd probably tell me she was teaching him to swim.From the way he was chortling and carrying on you'd think I'd kept them apart or some shit. Tina was doing some mess on her phone. These old women are worst than the kids with that Internet shit."I'll tell you what; that weed Daniel gave me last night did its thing.""Oh yeah?""Yep, Drake was mad as hell but who cares. He ain't the one up all night staring at the four walls. I hate taking those sleeping pills. I wake up in the morning feeling like I wa
"Uncle Hank, can you get me some castor beans?" This kid, she keeps you on your toes; always up to something. Add the fact that she's her dad's carbon copy and well - "Who are you planning to poison little girl?""Who-what? No one, what do you mean? I have to go mommy's calling me. Coming mommy." The little sneak hung up as I grinned.I hung up on my end and called her dad. "Lyon, what did you do to piss off your daughter lately?""Which one? The damn place is crawling with them.""My girl.""Mengele? Nothing why, what did she say?""Well, she's trying to get her hands on castor beans and knowing your kid as I have come to, there can be only one reason for that.""Fuck me, Catalina, get in here." The panic in his voice cracked me the hell up."I'll go and let you take care of that little issue. Call me if she drops any bodies and you need help with clean up. Then again you're pretty good at that shit yourself.""Fuck you, I have to go deal with Hitler's youth catch you later." I hung
They were all set to come to my place because Elena had invited all the women to the surprise shower. Cierra Mancini was in the field and would be coming later than the others.On the way here in differing stages, they got the call that Catalina had been taken and rescued and that Kat had gone into labor.Mancini who wasn't supposed to be here for another day at least had flown out after talking to Jared who'd told him that we had the asshole in our warehouse."I knew that you would kill him and I couldn't let that happen. The cops would've had no choice but to look at you and I can imagine in that position you wouldn't have been thinking straight. We thought it best that one of us take it from there.""We? Who is we?" I looked around at all the men gathered in my backyard."All of us!" Logan answered for all of them, which is pretty much what I suspected.Mancini had made the decision to take point on this one and the others rallied around my family and I while he did his thing. No on

I woke up the next morning fully rested. My wife was still out so I went to check on my daughters. Catalina was ready for release or so they said, but I checked her over myself.She was her usual pain in the ass self and tried to con me out of some shit so I knew she was okay. I was feeling better until I walked back into Kat's room where she was just waking up and overheard the nurse telling her about her release later that day."Are you out your fucking mind? She just pushed three human beings outta her body. The fuck you mean she can leave in a few hours?""Sir, it's hospital policy""I give a fuck" I stopped myself there because I know she wasn't the one making the rules and it wouldn't be fair to rip into her."Hold him, I just changed him and fed him." I passed Kat the baby. "You can leave now." I sent the nurse from the room before leaving myself. "Colton what're you going to do?""Don't worry about it."I left and headed to the nurse's station. "I need you to make a note
I spent the next seven hours running between the two rooms because Kat wouldn't calm down unless I went to check on our daughter and I was seeing that shit played out on the monitor they had her hooked up to.Every time she panicked her pain level went up, something I was in no way equipped to handle. The whole fucking hospital staff knew how I felt about it because I told them at the top of my lungs.Law called me while I was making my way back to Kat for the tenth time. "What's up buddy? I can't really talk right now I have a situation here.""I know, your boy called us when we were on the road.""We should be there in about an hour but the girls are worried.""You're headed here?""Yes, the shower was this weekend remember? The SEALs are already in flight.""Shit I forgot, I guess I'll see you when you get here. I'll have my mom and mother in law set you guys up.""How're your girls Colt? He didn't""No, I got to her in time. She's sleeping it off right now but Kat's the on
"Colton something's wrong, Catalina didn't get off the bus.""What the fuck are you saying? Where are the others?""Everyone else is here except her.""And they didn't notice that she wasn't on the bus?""They did but the driver refused to stop the bus."I'd already pulled my little gadget. "I'm on it Kat no worrying." I hung up and called for my guys as I headed for my bike.My heart started beating right again when I saw the little red dot that showed me where she was."Someone grabbed my kid let's go." They mounted up and we headed out.There were no other thoughts in my head, only getting to her and dealing with whomever the fuck had taken her. I knew it wasn't anyone we knew, because no one would take one of my kids without me, or their mother knowing.Just who it could be was making me sick in the gut. I clenched my hands around the handlebars and willed myself to breathe. The warmth of my blood turned ice cold. This fuck is dead!I heard my guys talking to me in my hea
I rode up and around them and headed back the way I came with them following close behind. We didn't need to talk; we all knew where we were headed. I got there before they did and opened the security gate.I turned on only the bare bulb overhead light leaving the rest of the room in shadows. I kicked a chair into the middle of the room and waited.They dragged him in kicking and screaming. "Who are you?" He focused on me before I throat chucked his ass and pushed him down on the chair.I opened my little bag of treats and shoved two leaves in his mouth. Mengele wasn't lying that shit worked fast. It started out slow, maybe taking thirty minutes before the first sign of distress."What is that, what did you give me?" He eyed the bag in my hand and asked after I stopped holding his mouth together. "Where's the kid? You tell me that and I'll let you live, you don't, you die."He put up a good fight that dragged on for damn near three hours. That's when the fun really started. He los
I could hardly sleep that night my mind wouldn't let me rest. And maybe that's what saved me from my wife's wrath the next morning.Instead of reaming my ass for leaving her high and dry over the breakfast table, she picked up on the fact that something was bothering me.She reached over and squeezed my hand but instead of giving word to her thoughts just gave me a questioning look.I shook my head and indicated the kids who were trying to out talk each other. "Caitlin put it away." Her hand disappeared lightning fast beneath the table."I was just saying good morning daddy." She's trying to get this kid killed. I seriously tried to find justification for five solid seconds but the little shit hadn't done anything worthy of a gutting. Other than robbing me of my daughter."Not at the table." She's so much her mother's kid she left her chair and came around the table to wrap her arms around my neck. "I'm finished with my breakfast so can I be excused from the table?""Sure, go a
