I'm Finally Wanted

Chapter 9

I took Dax home in the morning, since he was asking to go home. And no matter what I said, he would not tell me what this fight was about.

When I got home, Tyler and the kids where eating pancakes happily. Well, everyone but Keely, she was crawling around the kitchen.

I smile and scoop up Keely into my arms. "Hey Keely!"

Keely grins at me.

Usually babies would at least be baby babbling by this point, but Keely hasn't started that. Some babies are even talking when they're 18 months old. Tyler and I would be concerned, but sometimes babies don't talk until they're two years old, so it's probably nothing to worry about. Keely laughs, giggles, and cries just fine, so she'll talk just fine too.

"Rae! Come here!" Tyler yells from the table.

I carry Keely with me as I go to Tyler. "Hun, I've got an idea. Come here babe."

I walk over to Tyler, and he whispers to me, despite our kids trying to listen in.

"That is a great idea Ty." I say smiling.

"Mama, you know I'm your favorite. So why don't you tell me." Wyatt pleads.

"Sorry bub, I don't have favorites and it's a surprise."

"Ok boys, let's go get ready to go out, Rae, you got Keely?"

I nod and head up to Christian and Keely's bedroom, and get some clothes for Keely and change her while Chris gets an outfit from his dresser.

"Hey Rae, I know it's random, but I'm really happy here. I know Keely is too. Thank you for taking us in as your kids."

I kneel in front of Christian. "I'm really happy you two are here too Christian. I love you guys, and so does Tyler."

Christian hugs me and Keely, and then let's go.

"Ok, how does this outfit look?" He asks holding up an outfit.

"I think you have a great fashion sense bud."

...

Tyler and I took the kids out to the fun fair that's held yearly. The boys kept making Tyler ride on the little roller coaster with them, while I take Keely to the little spinning teacups where she sits happily on my lap.

After I get off of the ride, Chris and the twins hug me tightly. "Thank you for taking us here!!"

I chuckle. "No problem."

Tyler smirks at me. Then he wraps an arm around my waist as the boys ride the teacup.

"I'm not sure you realize how dang attractive you are looking sugarplum." Tyler whispers into my ear.

"Oh, I know the feeling." I whisper back.

Tyler leans in for a kiss, but I dodge it. So Tyler slaps my butt unexpectedly. "Tyler Bentley!" I whisper shout.

"What? Ain't nothing wrong with loving wife."

I roll my eyes. "Gosh Tyler. Such a douchebag."

Just then the boys get off the ride, and come to us.

"That was surprisingly fun mother." River says.

Tyler grabs the twins hands, and I take Christian's with the hand that isn't holding Keely, and we head to go get some food.

As we're waiting in line, some guy walks up to me. He's tall, bulky, and he smells like alcohol.

"Oh, so you're the one!" He says looking me up and down. "You punk!"

"I'm sorry sir, do I know you?" I ask. Christian moves to stand behind my legs, and Tyler looks over to me.

"You better know me! You're the one takin' everything away from me!" He yells.

"I think you're mistaking me for someone else." I say nervously looking at Tyler. Who seems like he's about to step in.

"Stop playing around! You know exactly who I am!"

Tyler steps next to me. "Dude, we don't know you, please leave us alone."

"That feral woman you're standing next to stole my kids away from me!" He yells, little spit droplets spewing from his mouth.

Kids? Oh my gosh. That's Keely and Christian's dad. Now he looks familiar, Tyler and I saw a brief picture of him. He lost custody of them when Keely was only 3 months old.

"Did you just call my wife feral?!" Tyler yells.

Dang it. Now Tyler's mad. People in line around us, have backed up a fair amount and are watching this play out.

The man, Steve I think his name was, takes a step closer to Tyler.

"Yes, I did! She stole my children from me!! That is my daughter!!" He yells, then reaches for Keely, but I take a large step backwards. There is no way that man is touching my daughter.

Christian is still clinging to my leg, and the twins are hiding behind Tyler, looking terrified.

"You bitch!" He gasps, then lunges for me, and Tyler jumps in front of the man and holds him back. The man might be taller then Tyler, but nothing is stronger then a man protecting his wife and kids.

"Keely is not your daughter, you lost the title of dad when you tried throwing that newborn baby girl in the trash. And my wife is not a bitch, do not ever call her that again."

The man goes to punch Tyler in the face, but Tyler dodges and punches the man in the face, instantly knocking him out.

Tyler grabs the twins hands, as they cry, and walks over to me. "I say we leave before he wakes up. I'll file a police report later."

I nod and we all go back to our car, leaving the scene of the fight.

We drive home, and Tyler tells the kids that he and I need to go out, and that he's calling a baby sitter.

Once the baby sitter gets here, and Tyler explains how they're a little bit shaken up, we head to the local police department.

Tyler's hands are shaking so bad as he's driving he has to pull over.

"He could've hurt you Rae. Or the kids." He whispers holding his head.

I reach over the rub Tyler's back. "Tyler, I'm ok. The kids are ok. We will be perfectly fine. It's ok." I whisper.

Tyler raises his head and looks at me. "Raven,  let me repeat myself. He could've hurt you, the woman I love with all of me, the person I can't live without. He could've hurt our children, the very reasons for getting out of bed in the morning."

I crawl over to Tyler, and hug him to my tightly. "And he could've hurt you Tyler. I don't know what I would've done if he hurt you. And the kids, they're mine too. I would've lost everything I loved just the same as you. Now let's calm down and just file the report. The longer we wait, the more suspicious we look."

Tyler nods, still looking shaken up. I kiss Tyler, then go back to my seat. Tyler gripping my hand tightly the rest of the way there.

Tyler and I explain what happened, and thankfully the fun fair had security cameras that recorded the whole thing, so Tyler and I are in no trouble, and we press charges against Steve, the kids' dad.

Then we go home, and assure the kids that everything is alright. The twins seemed to have basically move on from the whole thing, but Christian seemed still shaken up.

Hey tic tacs
Not gonna lie, my motivation for making this book is slowly leaving me. But at the same time, the book is finally picking up. Oh, and sadly this book won't be as long as the first one. I'm not sure how many chapters yet, tho.
Have a good day/night. Love you!
(Also sorry this chapter is kinda all over the place)
