A Family Hustle: Part 6

Chapter 32

[MARVIN'S POV]

Just Seeing This Little Boy Walking Towards Me, Made Me Feel Some Type Of Way. He Looked Like A Older Version Of MJ, And MJ Looked Like A Younger Version Of Me. This Definitely Was My Son.

"Damien, Meet Your Daddy." She Said. He Glanced At Me And Then At Mercedes.

"You Told Me He Was Dead." Damien Said.

"I Thought He Was Baby, But Clearly He's Alive And Well." She Said.

"Oh. Well Hey...Dad." He Said.

"Hey Son." I Said.

"Well I Got This DNA Kit So That We Can Get This Sent Off." Mercedes Said.

"Okay. You Wanna Do This Here, Or Come Inside?" I Asked.

"Y'all Can Do That Here. Right Here." Kaidence Said. I Was About To Say Something, But I Let It Slide.

"Oh Wow. So Rude." Mercedes Said.

"Oh You Haven't Seen Rude Yet." Kaidence Said, With A Sweet Smile. Oh Damn.

"Who's She?" Damien Asked.

"This Is Your Step Mom." I Said.

"That Means I Have Brothers And Sisters Right?" He Said.

"Yeah. You Got Two Brothers, Three Sister, And A Mysterious Sibling On The Way." I Said.

"That Is Awesome! Mom....I'm Not An Only Child!" He Said.

"So I've Heard. And Thank God You're Pregnant! Wow! I Thought You Never Lost Your Baby Fat!" Mercedes Laughed.

"Mercedes!" I Warned.

"What? Okay....I Apologize. I Said That All Wrong." She Said.

"Just...Bite Your Tongue." Kaidence Snapped.

"Look, Let's Just Get This Test Over With So You Can Leave." I Said.

"Gladly. Baby Grab That Bag Out Of The Car." She Said To Damien.

"While We're Here, You Should Let Him Meet His Half Siblings." Mercedes Said.

"Only Two Are Here At The Moment." I Said.

"And Your Point?" She Said. I Sighed And Glanced At Kaidence. She Rolled Her Eyes And Headed Into The House.

"I Honestly Don't Know What You See In Her." Mercedes Said.

"I Like Her. She's Pretty." Damien Said.

"And That's All That Matters. I Love Her To Death, And Damien Likes Her." I Said.

"Its Not All About The Looks, Damien. The Pretty Ones Are The Ones You Need To Look After." She Said. I Ignored Her Comment As I Opened The DNA Kit.

"It Says Swab Our Mouths, Put It In This Envelope, And Send It To The Address On The Box." I Said.

"Sounds Simple Enough." She Said. Kaidence Returned With Aubree In Hand, Followed By Kaiden And Mia.

"Baby Swab My Mouth." I Asked. She Nodded And Swabbed My Mouth.

"Preciate It Baby." I Said. I Slid Our Swabs In The Packet And Sealed It Up.

"You Want Me To Send This Out?" I Asked.

"Please. If It Ain't Too Much Trouble." She Said, Batting Her Eyes. I Shook My Head As I Grabbed The Packet.

"Well Damien....This Is Your Sister Aubree, And Your Brother Kaiden." Kaidence Said.

"Hi Aubree. Hey Kaiden." Damien Said.

"Brother? Mom What's Going On?" Kaiden Asked.

"Turns Out This Boy Is Your Little Brother, From Your Dad's Previous Relationship Before He Met Me." She Said.

"Oh. What's Up Man. Welcome To The Fam." Kaiden Said.

"Thanks. Is She My Sister Too?" Damien Asked, Pointing At Mia.

"No That's Kaiden's Girlfriend." I Said.

"Oh. Hey." He Said. I Was About To Say Something Else, When Another Car Pulled Up. It Was Serenity. My Girls And MJ Hopped Out And Ran Over To Us.

"Hey Mommy!" Naomii Squealed.

"Hey Daddy." Nevaeh Said, Hopping Into My Arms.

"Hey Big Girl." I Said, Kissing Them Both.

"Did Y'all Have Fun At Your Auntie's House?" I Asked.

"Yeah, Until MJ And Arryin Got Into A Fight." Naomii Said.

"A Fight? You Had Nathan's Kids Too?" Kaidence Asked.

"He Dropped Them Off This Morning. Arryin And MJ Had A...Disagreement And Everything Got Out Of Control." Serenity Said.

"We'll Deal With Him Later, But In The Mean Time, I Want Y'all To Meet Somebody. Y'all This Is Your Brother Damien. Damien...This Is Nevaeh, Naomii, And MJ." I Said.

"BROTHER?" The Girls Said.

"Another One? Dang Momma!" MJ Said.

"That's Your Dad's Doing." Kaidence Said.

"Yeah. I Just Found Out I Have Another Son." I Said.

"That Means You Have A New Favorite Kid!" MJ Said. He Took Off Running Into The House.

"I'll Go Talk To Him." Kaidence Said.

"Don't Mind MJ. He Said The Same Thing About Aubree And Now He Loves Aubree To Death." I Said.

"Well Go Handle That. Call Me When You Get The Results." Mercedes Said. I Nodded.

"Bye." Damien Said.

"Bye!" Naomii Said With An Attitude. Her And Nevaeh Then Pulled Me Away.

"What Is Wrong With Y'all?" I Said.

"You Need A Reality Check!" Nevaeh Said.

"Yeah A BIG One!" Naomii Said.

"Aye. Y'all Gettin Too Grown. Chill Out. Now Come On So We Can Check On MJ." I Said. They Rolled Their Eyes And Lead The Way Into The House. What A Overwhelming Day So Far.
