The Boy's Children

Chapter 37

Malakai's POV
Am I dead?

Please tell me I'm fucking dead.

Wait...

FUCK!

MARIONETTE WAS WITH ME WHEN-

SHIT!

NO!

My eyes opened. I looked around. I didn't see my sister. I pulled every medical thing out of me. I stood up and ran out of the room. I saw my mom on the phone. She was on the phone.

"Mom! Where's Marionette?!"

She put her phone down.

"Why are you out of bed?"

"I-I gotta see MJ!"

"Okay. Okay. I'll call her. Go back to the bed."

I laid back down on the bed. A nurse gave me a new IV. I heard someone running.

"MAL!"

I stood up. Marionette ran up to me. She started hugging me.

"I am so fuckin sorry."

"You scared the shit outta me."

"I know. I'm sorry. How's Ana?"

"She's on vacation right now. She wanted to stay but...her bother forced her to go."

After I was discharged from the hospital, I was baker acted.

Raven's POV
I woke up and saw Marionette texted me. She told me, Malakai woke up.

Phew.

Thank god.

A few days after that, someone knocked on the door. Novalyn came running to my room.

"Daddy! Daddy! Wake up!"

"I'm awake bug. What's wrong?"

"There's a girl here! Grandma told me to get you!"

I stood up and picked Novalyn up. I started walking downstairs. I walked into the living room. I saw my mom talking to a familiar girl.

No....

It can't be here.

"Catalina?"

"Hey little brother. You've gotten tall."

I put Novalyn down.

"I-I-I..."

I walked over to the couch.

"I have to go get Aunt Brittney!"

Novalyn ran up the stairs.

"Be careful!"

Catalina walked over to me. She started hugging me.

"W-what're you doing here?"

"I'm not allowed to see my family?"

"N-no. Y-you are. I thought dad brainwashed you."

"He tried. You honestly thought, I'd believe him?"

"I dunno."

"Who's the little one?"

"T-that's my daughter."

"Damn! I'm gone for five years and you have a kid?"

"I-I have another one on the way actually."

"Damn. Mom you haven't killed him?"

We walked over the the couch. We sat down.

"Same mom or different?"

"Different moms. We don't talk about Nova's mom."

"DADDY?! CAN I CALL MOMMY?!"

"She's talking about my girlfriend. Not her actual mom."

I heard footsteps.

"Hey! Don't run by the stairs!"

Novalyn ran up to me.

"Bug...she's busy with her brother. He's sick remember?"

She crossed her arms.

"But I wanna talk to mommy!"

"Nov...she's busy."

"I WANNA TALK TO MOMMY!"

"Don't shout."

Someone started pounding on the front door. I got up and ran to it. I looked out the window and saw Marionette. I quickly opened the door.

"Hey baby. What's wrong?"

She started crying. I cupped her face. Onyx ran up behind her.

"What the hell? What happened?"

"One name...Axel."

"Don't tell me he-"

"Roxie too. I'm gonna rip his spine out."

"Oh god. H-how'd you find out?"

"Mal had to rip him off the both of them."

"Jesus Christ...did it just happen?"

"Yeah. Prim took Rocky to the hospital."

"Mari? Did you go?"

She nodded.

"She's hasn't said a word in about 2 hours."

"G-go up to my room. I-I'll be there in a bit."

Marionette ran into my house and ran up the stairs.

"MOMMY!"

Novalyn started following her.

"What the fuck Nyx?"

He shrugged.

"I don't know man. Can she stay here for a while? I-I can't get her to get in the house."

"Did it happen there?"

"No. We were at my sister's house. I-I can drop off some things for her."

"Yeah. Of course she can stay here. As long as she needs."

"Thank you. I'll bring by clothes and whatnot later."

Onyx ran back to his car. I shut the front door and locked it.

"Is everything okay?"

"Uhhh no?"

"What's wrong?"

"Uhhh. I can't tell you."

"Damn. You keep secrets now?"

"I kinda have to."

"Daddy? Why is mommy crying?"

"Something happened. It's a grown up issue. Don't worry. Stay down here and talk to your grandma and aunts."
