We went downstairs and found everyone in the living room.
"Bruce, Trixie, sit down we need to have a talk" Mom said.
I sat down next to Tarō and Trixie went to sit next to Keiko.
I was very confused. We never had family meetings before. I don't like where this is going though.
She cleared her throat and continued "me and your dad will be going on a business trip. We'll be back in a few days but your grandma will be taking care of you till we come back"
I knew this was coming. Everyone was still here but they aren't awake yet.
I looked at Trixie and she looked mortified. She took a long time to come down and I had to go get her. That is something our grandma hated.
Our dad looked at our faces and noticed we weren't happy at all. Even if our grandma is staying here. He thought we all loved her but in reality, we don't.
He sighed and said "Please be on your best behavior and if you need anything then just call me or mom, ok?"
We all nodded our heads. I gave a weak smile towards our dad and he immediately thought something was wrong.
He leaned over to our mothers ear and whispered something. She looked sad.
She nodded her head and said "Bruce, can I talk to you in our room?"
I slowly nod my head. I got up from the couch and followed my mom to her and dad's room.
As soon as we both got in, she quickly closed the door and locked it.
She turned to me and her face went sad.
She grabbed my hands and said "Bruce, is something bothering you or the kids? You don't seem happy that grandma is staying"
I couldn't look into her eyes. I can't tell her. She won't believe me either way. Grandma is her mother. If I were to tell dad then he would immediately do something about it. But not her. She loves her mom. She won't believe anything bad about her mom.
I quickly shook my head, staring at the floor.
She sighed and told me I could go back to the living room, but as I was about to leave, she said "bring your sister Trixie in here"
I froze in my place. I knew this wasn't going to end good. Maybe if I ask my dad to go with Trixe and stay there until their done? Trixie won't hesitate to tell them what grandma has done.
I got to the living room and tapped Trixies shoulder. She turned to me and knew what I was about to say.
She got up and went to our parents room.
I looked up and motioned our dad to go and make sure everything is okay.
He nodded and left with Trixie. Now it's only me, Tarō, Amy and grandma.
I wonder whats gonna happen now.

Trixies pov:
Mom called me to her room but I don't understand why. Dad went with me just in case something happens.
I got to the room. Me and dad go into the room and close the door, locking it.
Mom is just staring at me, not saying anything.
I feel dad stroking my hair, trying to calm me down a bit.
She cleared her throat and said "why were you kids not happy to hear that grandma was going to stay? I tried asking Bruce but he didn't say anything"
I froze. Trying to think of what to say. Maybe I can finally tell them. This is perfect.
I smiled weakly. My eyes flowing with tears.
They run to me and ask me if I'm ok. I nod my head and spoke "Mom, dad. Grandma isn't who you think she is"
I looked at the two but they look very confused. Mom is more confused than dad though.
I sighed and continued "go check Keiko's back. Grandma caused it. She caused all of it"
Dad didn't even waste a minute and went downstairs to where Keiko was.
Keiko stood up, instructed by dad to do so.
He told her to turn around and to lift her hands up.
Bruce's pov:
Dad came downstairs running. He told Keiko to turn around and to lift her hands up.
She did whatever he told her to do and out of nowhere, he lifted her shirt a little, revealing bruises all around her back.
He stared at her, shocked to what he was seeing. He seemed sad but angry.
He covered her back with her shirt. He turned to grandma and began yelling at her.
I have no idea what's happening. Then, Trixie and mom come downstairs.
They see dad yelling at grandma and of course mom tells dad to stop yelling at her mom.
He is just filled with rage. He loves his wife but he can't believe she would take her mother's side.
He understands the love she has for her mother but no amount of love can take his eyes away from his hurt children.
