Say I'm Yours

Family Ties

~Sixteen months later~

"Alright ya'll, rules are easy" 

Dillon stood on top of the table going over the rules of Carter James Yearly Fambam Competition.

"Eight events. Family with the most points wins and gets to bring home an brand new trophy" Spencer dragged his wife closer to him.

"Victory is ours baby, Olivia and I got this"

"Keep telling yourself that bro" Jordan tilted his neck, cracking it.

"The girls and I are gonna have yall crying like little ol- "

"Ay!" Mrs. James stepped up.

"Now you know good and well your father wouldn't allow ish talking"

"Did you know your husband at all ma? He would talk more shit than any of us"

"Dillon James, do not use that kind of language around your mom!" 

Scolding him. Carter hugged his wife from the back, calming her nerves.

"Come on baby, let the boys have an little fun. They are grown with their own families ya know"

"Grown or not, I will not have them talking that way around me, period. You made sure you raised them to be good men and I need them to start acting like they know" 

She rambled off as Carter tickled her neck with his nose, planting kisses there knowing it would make her giggle like an kid in the candy store, taking the heat off his son.

"I'm sorry ma"

Dillon dropped his head, eyes traveling over to Jayla's with an subtle wink, watching her blush from it. Even after being together so long, Dillon still had the ability to have her weak in the knees and her cheeks burning from his charm. With an lot of planning and suffering, the James clan spent almost seven months getting this together. It's been over an year since Carter's been home, and by an miracle from above, there was an transfusion that worked so well it gave him the ability to have the pneumonia treated and after just two rounds of chemo, here he stands cancer free. To celebrate this miracle happening to their family, they decided to come up with an tradition in his name that would keep them close to one another after everything they've been through. Time for suffering has past, and Carter just wanted to live life to the fullest with the woman he loves and his boys. With the girls help, they came up with an longer edition of the boys yearly camping and fishing trip with a lot of added on activities. Plus, all it did was egg on the boys competitive spirit.

"That's better. Now" 

Grace hoisted Jaylanah on her hip,

"My granddaughter is watching you, Dil. And I don't think she'd be a fan of her father losing now, would she?" 

Dillon peeped over at his beautiful seed with an proud smile.

"She won't have to see it cuz daddy's not gonna lose now is he, is he little mama?" 

Dillon cooed at his almost one year old as she babbled with an adoring smile clapping her hands in her father's directions.

"Whoa pump your brakes, baby bro" Spencer's voice came next.

"You gotta win before you can call it yours"

"Children, children, children" 

Simone stood in the middle of them.

"We just gonna sit around or we gonna get the ball rolling here? Cuz, this family, as my family is bringing the win home"

"Damn straight sweetheart!"
