Lisa's pov

I was breathing heavily by the time we took a break. So was he. "I don't know about you but I'm worn out." I say with a laugh. "Me too." I glance at the clock. "The girls will be home in a few minutes." I say, sitting up. He smiles and kisses me one more time then we both get dressed. We go downstairs to wait for the girls and Jason falls asleep, his head propped on his hand in the cutest way, making me smile.

*in his dream*

Morgan was headed to college in her home state of Arkansas and I tried not to cry. I pinched my eyes to fight the tears and Lisa patted my back with a smile. She closed the car door with all her stuff then smiled back at us. "I love you guys. I'll see you at Christmastime." She says waving, her hair flying in the wind. The same blonde hair as her mother's. "I'll hold you to that." I say, pointing. She laughs. "Oh dad."

*he wakes up*

I hear the door open and close, thus waking me from that very vivid dream. My young daughters having gotten home. I set Morgan on my lap. "Don't grow up." I say, kissing her head. She giggles. "Oh daddy, I'll always be your little girl." I smile. "And don't you forget it." "Who wants cookies!" Lisa gasps standing up. Both girls shout, "I do!" I smile as they rush to the kitchen followed by their young sexy mother. She smiles and waves in the doorway. "Are you asking for round two!? That's what that look means to me!" I gasp jokingly. She laughs. "Oh you!" Then she goes in the kitchen and they start making homemade cookies. I sit back on the couch.

Jason took the girls to the aquarium so I went to visit my sister. "Hey Miranda good to see you!" I say hugging her. "Want some coffee?" She asks. I shake my head and we sit on the couch to talk and hang out.

All the different types of fish have the girls wide eyed. I think Megan is gonna do something with animals when she grows up. She loves animals. I smile, watching them. "Hey dad, what's this say?" Megan asks, tugging on my arm. I smile and read the exhibit information to her. I get a text from Lisa.

L: Visiting my sister. Just in case you guys get home and I'm not home yet.

J: Ok. Have fun at your sister's.

Megan is pulling my arm, wanting to go to the next exhibit. Morgan already having run ahead. I laugh and put my phone in my pocket and walk/run after my girls.

Lisa's pov

Me and Miranda popped a movie in. Her boyfriend Erin gets home and gives me a dirty look. Let's just say we don't get along. And he's an abusive asshole so every time I see him I wanna jab a fork into his throat. "Slut." He grumbles, making my eyes go wide. I bite my tongue though knowing my sister will get the brunt of his rage if I piss him off. "Hey girl, come on upstairs you've spent enough time with that bitch sister of yours!" He shouts from the kitchen. I clench my fists. She sighs and gives me an apologetic smile. "Coming Erin." I glare at my hands. "I'll see ya later I guess." I mumble, sighing sadly.

I get back home to see Lisa crying on the couch! "Lisa! What's wrong?!" I cry, running to her side, landing on my knees. "It's Miranda's dumbass piece of shit boyfriend! He's abusive and I'm so sick of it! But if I confront him, he beats her!!" Anger fills me. I DO NOT tolerate abuse. Hence years earlier with Nevaeh who's now married to my manager. I stand back up, fists clenched. "Call your sister and tell her to come here." "What's gonna happen?" I grab a chair from the kitchen. "An intervention." I say, resting my hand on the chair. I call my mom as she calls her sister. Mom comes over to get Morgan and Megan. They shouldn't be here for this. "Shit. Erin's gonna wait in the car." Lisa mutters angrily.

*a few minutes later*

Miranda walks through the door, looking exhausted and miserable. Poor girl. "Hey sis. How's it going?" Lisa asks hugging her and guiding her to the chair. "What's going on guys?" "You have to leave him!" Lisa gasps. Her eyes get huge. "I can't! It's fine anyway. We're happy!" I can see right through this bullshit. "Ok I can see right through that hunk of horseshit! You're absolutely terrified and I can see the bruises on your shoulder and arm. I'm not stupid, I don't tolerate abuse and I'm this close to walking out there and nailing that bastard clear across the front yard!" I say full of pent up anger from this. "Jason, please calm down, you're scaring her!" Oops. "I uh I'm sorry hun I'm not tryin'... Um look, you have to leave him while you still have the strength to walk before too long, it'll get worse." She bites her lip, tears filling her eyes. Man I feel so bad for her. The door opens and the smug abusive bastard walks in. "Hey girl, ya told 'em yet?" He asks, confusing both me and Lisa. Miranda shakily stands up. "Erin asked me to marry him!" She says, shakily pulling her hand out of her pocket to reveal a diamond ring. My eyes widen in shock. "No!" Lisa gasps just as shocked. He pushes me and walks to her, grabbing her arm and making her stand up. "Come on girl, let's blow this popsickle stand." He says, infuriating me. He's not getting away with this. I glare at the open door, wishing I could slam it in his smug rotten face and just as I think it, it happens! Whoa! Cool! "Huh what the?" Erin exclaims confused. Lisa looks at me just as confused. I wonder what else I could do. I stare hard at Erin and he smashes into the wall. I nod my head to the left and he flies to the left, crashing into the other wall. I smile and walk over. I pull the ring off my sister in law's finger and throw it at him then I grab his shirt. "Get out! And if I ever find out you were hurting her or any other girl for that matter, I will make your nightmares seem like a happy place! You got it shit for brains?!" I growl. He's completely terrified. I let him go and step back. He runs out fast. "Whoa! That was so cool!" Miranda gasps. I smile and walk back to Lisa. "I find out about abuse. I shut it down and beat some ass." I say, kissing my wife's cheek. "Just like my best buddy Brantley Gilbert." Lisa walks over and hugs her sister. "Are you gonna be okay?" She smiles and nods. "Thanks to Jason getting rid of Erin I will. Have you told him yet?" Huh? "Told me what?" "I guess that's a no." "Lisa... Told me what?" She wipes a stray tear and walks over. "Jason, I'm pregnant!" Shock registers on my face and I grab Lisa at the waist and spin her around in happiness. "Oh Lisa! I'm so happy!" I gasp, kissing her hard.
