Angel's pov
"Micah don't you wanna help decorate the tree?" Tracey asked. Micah shook his head as he held me tighter. Ever since micah saw king grab me he's been stuck to my side like glue. I didnt know what to do or say to ease his mind.
I looked over at king who had a devastated look on his face. Ever since micah told him he hates him he's been in that state. The bond between father and son was breaking and I didn't know how to fix it.
"Micah come on let's put the pretty lights on the tree" bradley said running over to us. She grabbed his hand and gently pulled him.
"I said no! Leave me" he yelled snatching his hand away. Everyone stared at him in shock including myself. Micah has never been the type of child to be rude or act out.
"There's no need to yell at your sister micah" I said to him. He looked at me and pouted.
"Mommy can we go home. Just the two of us " he whined.
"Micah we came here to spend christmas with everyone. Don't you wanna open gifts with your sisters?" I asked him.
He shook his head. "No I just wanna be with mommy for christmas. No one else" he said stubbornly.
I was conflicted, on one hand I wanted micah to spend time with his family but on the other hand I didn't want him to be in a bad mood the entire weekend.
"Maybe its best if I took micah home. Its obvious he doesn't want to be here right now" I said slowly.
"Angel you can't be serious right now. You shouldn't be giving him his way so easily. He's only two I'm sure this temper tantrum will pass" tracey said.
I don't know why but his words annoyed me." I don't mean to be rude but I've been a parent way longer than you have. So I dont appreciate you telling me how to deal with my son" I said.
I could tell my words struck a nerve. "Everyone let's just calm down" grace said.
"We are calm. Angel's the only one being disrespectful" jessica said.
"Nobody asked you for your two cents you stupid hoe" I said angrily.
"Seriously angel. You shouldn't talk like that in front of the kids" king said. He was so quiet I almost forgot he was here.
I roll my eyes and stand up. "Oh shut up. Its your fault micah's like this in the first place. You shouldve kept your hands to yourself you abusive prick" I snap.
King flared his nose and remained silent. "That's what I thought. You know what I think it would be best if me and micah left. You can enjoy the rest of this crappy weekend by yourselves" I said. Before anything else could be said I grabbed micah and walked out.
.....................
"I'm glad we were able to get back home before the snow really came down" I said outloud. Micah just smiled and ran to his room to change clothes.
As soon as we left tracey's house micah's mood improved tremendously. He even sung a few christmas carols well tried to anyway.
"Mommy can we watch the grinch" micah said running up to me.
"Sure munchkin. How about we make some cookies and eggnog to go with it" I offered.
"I get to have cookies at night time" he said excitedly. I laughed at his excitement. I usually didn't allow micah to eat sweets like that especially at night.
"Yup " I said before picking him up.
Me and micah spent the rest of christmas eve eating cookies and watching dr seuss how the grinch stole christmas.

King's pov
"I can't believe this. Christmas is ruined" my father said sadly. Not knowing what to say I remained silent.
"Daddy why is micah mad at us?" Quinn said sitting in my lap. Damn how the hell was I supposed to tell my daughter that her brothers anger was directed at me and not her or bradley.
"Micah's not mad at you baby girl. Daddy did something to make him upset. Don't worry I'll fix it" I tell her.
She nods her head and snuggles into my chest. "Its not ruined. Micah and angel just need some time to their selves that's all" grace said.
"Your being too kind grace. Angel is the one that started this whole mess. She's probably the one that put micah in that bad mood" jessica said.
"You shouldn't speak on things you don't know about. The reason micah is upset is because of me. He saw me and angel fighting and got upset" I told her.
"Well I'm pretty sure angel did something to piss you off" jessica said.
I roll my eyes. " can you stop bashing angel. She's the mother of my child" I said calmly. I already have one of my kids mad at me I dont need the other two getting upset.
Jessica crossed her arms." I swear you always think angel is the victim. When she's really not, ever since she got here she's been calling me names and being real nasty to me" she said.
"Jessica you whining right now isn't helping anything. I have enough to worry about without you in my ear about nonsense" I told her.
As she opened her mouth to speak bradley cut her off." Papa can I open a gift?" She asked.
Thank god saved by bradley. " of course. You and quinn can pick one each" I said standing up. After setting quinn on her feet she grabbed my hand and led me over to the tree the gifts were under.
......................
"Daddy do you like my room grandpa did mines and bradleys" quinn said beaming.
"Yes I know. I saw bradley's both of your rooms are very cool"" I said looking around. My father took it upon himself to give the twins seperate rooms both customized to their liking. He decorated a room for micah but he hasn't seen it yet....
The Twin's rooms
"I wish micah was here so he could see my cool room" quinn said pouting.I sigh as I tuck my daughter into bed." Don't worry. I'll fix this. Daddy promises"
