"Please don't go anywhere when it gets dark." Dean says kissing my forehead when his alarm clock goes off for work. "I don't want you outside alone."

"I have to run to moms. She wants me to watch Mitch today."

"Can you try and be back before dark?" he asks with a frown.

Cupping his cheek i say in a calming voice "Dean you'll be home when i get here."

"Call me when your on your way home." he demands and i nod not saying anything because i know he's worried about me. "I love you little one."

Smiling largely i say "I love you." when he goes into the bathroom i whistle and pat the bed. The boys jump up happily snuggling up with me and we fall asleep.

.

"Where do you wanna go buddy?" i ask him and he thinks about it a second.

"Thice cream." he says still with his cute little lisp. He's starting to grow out of it and that makes me sad because that means that he's growing up. I don't want him to grow up I want him to continue to be my adorable baby brother.

"Ice cream it is." i say with a chuckle and we get into my car. Mitch mover his booster seat to the front and i frown at him. "I don't think that's very safe bud."

"Momma doeth it." he says and I frown at him but nod my head letting him commence. If momma does it, it must be okay. She wouldn't do anything to put him in danger. He sets it down and buckles up before I pull out of the drive. "Can I thay with you tonight?"

Glancing over at him quickly I give him a smile "Sure buddy. I'm sure Dean would be happy to see you."

Satisfied he looks back out the front window with a large smile. I have missed my baby brother. Not being able to see him every second of the day and play with him all of the time its depressing but I remember that I can see them anytime and then I think about the wonderful man God as blessed me with. 

Mitch jumps out of the car excitedly and runs up to the window before anyone else can get there. Amused I shake my head and laugh when he's already ordering. The girl behind the counter is looking at him wide eyes while he spurts off what he wants.

"He just wants a small swirl with sprinkles and eyes." I inform her and Mitch looks back at me with a pout. "Then I want two scoops of superman in a bowl with the cone on top." I like the cone and Mitch usually takes my ice cream.

With a happy smile on his face he turns back to the window watching hungrily as the lady goes to get our order together. "Do you want to go to the park and eat them or stay here?"

"The park." he says with a duh tone and I nudge him on the shoulder letting him know not to use that tone with me. "Thorry." he says looking back at me and I give him a reassuring smile.

"Alright here ya go. I gave you extra eyes." The lady says handing Mitch his ice cream. He stares at it hungrily and gives a little evil laugh before digging in. She hands me mine and tells me the amount. After we pay we give her a friendly goodbye and walk across the street to the park.

I make Mitch sit down until he's down with his ice cream much to his dislike. He finishes quickly and runs off to play with the other kids. I watch them with a huge smile until my phone rings.

Answering it I say "Hey handsome."

"What is up my beautiful wife?" he asks and I giggle.

"Mitchell and I are at the park."

"Are you having fun?" he asks and I smile.

"Mitchell is of course. Hey, he wants to stay with us tonight." I inform him and Dean chuckles.

"Baby why are you telling me? Your family is my family and their welcome at the apartment anytime."

Rolling my eyes I say "I know I just wanted to tell you so you didn't come home surprised."

Dean sighs and I raise a brow. "I like the sound of that."

"What?" I ask totally confused and lost."

"Home. I get to come home to a beautiful woman God blessed me with and just bask in your presence."

"Awww." I coo touched. My husband is the best ever. "I love you."

"I love you to little one. I have to go lunch is over but I will be home at seven."

With a pout I say "I miss you."

Deans voice comes over the other line soft and he says "I miss you to baby. Only three hours twenty four minutes and thirty six seconds to go." he mumbles and I grin largely.

"See you then." we say our goodbyes and regretfully hang up.

"Is he yours?" someone asks sitting beside me on the bench.

Looking over I chuckle at the man and shake my head. "No, he's my little brother." The man nods and I motion out to the kids. "Witch ones yours?"

"Her." he says pointing to the little girl playing with Mitch. Their trying to get on the monkey bars but they aren't tall enough to reach.

The little girl is amazingly beautiful with huge brown bug eyes and curly chocolate hair. Shes a few inches shorter than Mitch and looks like she's be about four. "She's adorable whats her name?"

With a chuckle the man says "Aubrey and she's a hand full."

I laugh because she is just to cute. When their just that adorable their bound to be a handful. I'm Evangeline." I introduce sticking my hand out for him to shake.

He grips it and says "It's nice to meet you Evangeline i'm Mark."

My face scrunches up in recognition and I scoot away from the man a bit looking him over. From the tattoos and the muscle you can tell he's in a gang but from the friendly smile he has on his face you wouldn't be able to tell. "Mark Larson?" I question and he smiles nodding. "Is there something you need Mark?" I ask him staying cool.

Dean told me not to talk to them but he's right here beside me so I have to. But im not going to let him intimidate me. I have God on my side so he should be the one intimidated.

Mark cocks his head smile leaving. I don't see how you can have a kid and still be In a gang. Wouldn't you fear for your child's life and the child's mother? "No ma'am but my boss wants something."

Giving him a hard look I say "Well your boss is going to have to recruit someone else. Dean isn't working for him anymore."

Mark sighs and looks out at the playground. "Your just making this harder on yourselves."

"No, your boss is the one making this hard for us. We just got married Mark." I say with a tired sigh. "We don't need this."

He looks over to me with a sympathetic look and says "Trust me Evangeline if I were in charge I would let Dean live happily ever after but i'm not. I have to do as i'm told."

"I'm sorry to hear that and i'm sure God is sad right now also." I say about to cry for the man beside me. "But God cleaned Dean up and made him someone new. He's not going back because you have to do your job and because your boss can't get someone else."

He frowns and says "Dean was the best and the boss isn't going to give him up so easily."

Rising I call for Mitch and look back at Mark one last time. As I walk away I say " God's not giving him up easily either."

Slowly but surely the book is coming together. I don't know when the next update will be but hopefully soon. Tell me what you think about Mark?
