"But dad why do I have to go to Uncle Deacons?" Maya questioned as she had been back home from the hospital about a week ago, and she was slowly settling back into her new but old life.

"Because it's Deacons day with you while the rest of us are at work." Hondo said as he placed a plate of food in front of Maya.

"But why can't I stay with ma in her office or something?" Maya whined.

"Because it's Uncle Deacons day with you Maya Mari." Jessica said as she fixed her some coffee.

"It's also not like I am a child, I can take care of my self just fine." Maya whined some more.

The two adults looked at each other. Hondo, who was quickly losing patience with his newly reverted teen....he sighed.

"Maya no one is saying you can't take care of yourself, but you are going with Deacon and that is final. Do you understand me?" Hondo stated.

"Think of it like this Maya, you get to have a day of fun with Uncle Deac." Street said walking in the door.

Maya huffed and swept her plate of food to the ground in a fit of anger.

"I DON'T WANT TO GO!" She yelled her  emotions taking over.

She looked up to two angry faces and one sorry for her brother.

Hondo walked over to her grabbing her from the stool she was on and landed some fiery swats to her backside, it was enough to bring tears to Maya's eyes.

"We do not throw tantrums in this house young lady because we don't get what we want. Corner now!" Hondo demanded as tears flew from Maya's eyes and she stomped to the corner.

"15 minutes Maya, and when you get out that attitude better be gone." Jessica added.

Maya sighed as she was in the corner. This wasn't fair. They were treating her like she was a piece of glass and needed to be cared for 24/7. She might have needed to be cared for-  but still she wasn't a piece of glass and there was no reason for her family to be treating her this way.

"Are you done?" A voice brought her from her tantrum in the corner

"Are you done?" A voice brought her from her tantrum in the corner.

It was her uncle Deacon. He grabbed her by the arm and landed 5 smacks in her behind.

"Owe!! What I did do?" Maya questioned as she rubbed her backside.

"Oh I don't know how about the tantrum you just threw, When you were suppose to be in the corner reflecting on what got you there in the first place." Deacon stated arms crossed.

Maya sighed. Her uncle Deacon was always a strictler for the rules, which is one reason why she did NOT want to be bothered with him. Atleast with everyone else they would try to
treat her like she was somewhat still the fully functioning adult she used to be.
