24k SIlver ~Sterling Shepard~

Protector

"Mommy look at Spongbob, he's so silly"

Sylver said to me, while I was putting cornrows in her hair, I laughed along with her as I finished her hair. I heard the door downstairs unlock and the keys. Sylver wasn't concerned about it until, Sterling came upstairs and into the room-
"Daddy!!"
She hopped up and gave him a hug, and he showered her in kisses before she sat right back down and continued watching Spongebob. He came up and kissed me and not so subtly grabbed my ass, and flashed that signature smile and kissed me again before Sylver, with her personality, came right in between us, and started giving us kisses, and smiling. Silly baby. I had some news that Sterling needed to hear...but I decided to ask Sylver a question-
"Sylverrrr"
"Yesh mommy"
"How would you feel if you had a little brother or sister"
"Good, I want one so I can teach them how to watch Spongebob properly"
"Silly baby"
She smiled. God her and Sterling start to look more and more alike. I looked at Sterling, who gave me wide eyes and mouthed-
"You're pregnant?"
I nodded my head, and he smiled and lifted Sylver up and told her-
"You're gonna be a big sister"
"Yaaay!!"
She jumped and danced in his arms, and smiled and I smiled and got up and hugged them both and then he said-
"We're going out as a family"
"Good"
"Yaaaayyy"
We laughed and I got ready. Sterling sent to bathe Syvler and I heard them singing 'Head, Shoulders, Knees, And Toes' and I almost melted. I took a shower and put on a black jumpsuit with my Royal Blue 12s, and light makeup and put two braids in my hair. And I saw Sylver, who matched me to the T, and she said-
"We match mommy!!"
And ran into my arms. And I picked her up, and grabbed Sterling's hand and we followed him downstairs and outside where there was paps waiting. I wasn't bothered by them as much, and Sylver adored them. She saw them and started posing and smiling. That's my girl. We loaded her up in her carseat and got in the car. After 30 minutes and an endless rendition of '2 Phones by Kevin Gates' by Sterling and Sylver we finally arrived at our destination. We were in the city, and he took us to Jerrali's an Italian restaurant on the edge of the city. Sylver was curious and just marveled at the restaurant. Before remembering where she was-
"Daddy, we're at Jerrali's"
"How do you know what Jeralli's is?"
"Well, one day you were sick and we had a day together, and we went here for lunch...it was good"
"Sterling, that's adorable"
"That's daddy's baby"
She grinned as we got out and got her, and went in the restaurant, and she smiled and waited for us to be seated. As we were seated the waiter came and Miss Thang, aka Sylver decided she already knew what she want.
"I would like a Kids sprite, and a Kids Spaghetti, with the big meatball on top, and broccoli"
The waiter took her order and I ordered a non alcoholic Shirley Temple, and Sterling got a Coke. And the waiter went back to put in our drinks plus, the little diva's order. I looked over the menu and decided on the Italian Style Salmon, with a mango shrimp pasta, and a baked potato. Sterling got Spaghetti and Meatballs. Like Father, like Daughter. By the time we ordered our food. Sylver's was already coming out. So Sterling cut up her meatball, and mixed it and let her have at it. She made no sounds. Until she stopped chewing and looked up and said-
"What's uncle Odell doing on TV?"
"I don't know wanna call him later"
"Yes"
"Better yet, he can come over, and you can see Auntie Tori, And your cousin"
"I get to see the baby?"
"Yup"
"Yay!"
And she went back to eating her food. Just as content. I have Sterling that look. I'm genuinely concerned about my brother, it's like I thought he was happy with Tori, but it seems like it's this and that and the other. Whether it's her cheating, or him cheating, or the arguments , or somebody is walking out. It's not healthy, and now that they have baby Ta'Dell, they really need to decide what they are going to do. Our food came out and we are and talked about our new addition to the family, and the upcoming season, and me possibly going into coaching for volleyball. I play my last game in two weeks against Venezuela. And I've been preparing for a while. Sylver stays with Sterling at practice, and talks to the trainers and coaches, and watched them practice. So it kinda irks her when they lose for some stupid reason and shes been at practice and they weren't acting like that. She'll look at the team like they're crazy, and it humors me. And JPP is no longer evil, she actually likes him and gives him fist bumps. My baby girl is a character. We finished eating and got desert, before paying and leaving. On our way home my brother had called and we put it so the whole car could hear him and the first thing Sylver said was
"Uncle Dell, why were you on tv"
"Was it something good"
"No, you were on half the screen and the man was saying bad things about you like how you need to get it together now that you have TaDell."
"He is right, Uncle is gonna get it together"
"Okay, you better"
We laughed and then it turned bad, I heard screaming and yelling and Odell said
"It's okay baby TaDell, I'm right here, Tori will you chill out, he's tryna sleep"
"Fuck him and you, bastard"
Tori is about to get cut, then Odell snapped-
"Look, I can take you talking bad about me, but your not talking bad about my 8 month old son, not at all"
"I do what I fucking want"
"Look man, go with your side piece with that mess, get out my house, and you're not taking my son"
"I don't want him"
"GET OUT!"
I never ever heard my brother be so emotional and pissed off, I told him we would stop by and see him and that's really what he needed. At this point I don't even know what to do about it. I don't know the whole story, and I'm not the same firecracker I was. I have a child now, and I'm pregnant again, so I'm trying to watch what I do and my words. So I'm silent and then Sylver said-
"What's wrong with Auntie Tori?"
"I don't even know Sylver, but we are going to see uncle Odell"
"Good, he sounds like he needs a hug"
"He does"
"So I'm gonna give him one"
Awww. But seriously I hate having to lie to my baby girl, and I know she'll figure this out and then start asking questions, which I don't mind answering, but then again, she's 2 and she's very smart, she's speaking full sentences and everything. I look at Sterling as we pull in to Odell' s house.  I use my key to his house and open the door, I'm surprised by what I see. I  Quickly pick up Ta'Dell, who had just woke up and I head in the direction of the screaming, I told Sterling to stay with Sylver, and if I need to then I will bring Ta'Dell to him. I held my nephew in my arms as giggly as he was and went in the kitchen. I stood there and watched the scenes that unfolded-
"You said you didn't want our son....OUR FUCKING SON, you heartless bitch"
"I stand by what I said, you're nothing to me, never have and never will be"
Wow, I ran outside and handed Ta'Dell to Sterling who lit up and started playing with him, and then I went in the house and lit into Victoria-
"Listen you lying ass bitch, you're not gonna stand there and talk to him like that. You two have a son, and you don't even want him, hell, Odell can handle it by himself, if it means he needs to grow up and stop partying. And he's been nothing but faithful to you and you treat him like shit. But if it was the other way around, you'd be crying to me. Nah bitch, get ya shit shot an leave Ta'Dell, since you don't want him, I got this shit, he got me he got his dad and his auntie and his uncle, and his cousin. You can leave and you're lucky I'm not beating your ass because I'm Pregnant again."
She went upstairs and grabbed a suitcase, she was planning to leave anyway. She glared at me and at Odell, and left without a trace. Her uber was right outside....take her to fucking Hollywood Boulevard. Odell looked dad and on cue here came Sylver, and she gave him a hug and told him it was okay and that he had her. It was adorable but then Sterling walked in with a laughing Ta'Dell. I sat Odell down and said-
"It's all you bow, you're gonna have to get up in the morning and cook him breakfast. Don't say you can't cook because I know you can. You're gonna have to take him to practice, Sylver will watch over him, he's not walking yet. You're gonna have to show him the ropes and the way to treat a woman. Don't go back to your Old ways Odell, you have a son. You are a single father now, alot of time cannot be wasted at the club and stuff. Look what happened with Sterling, he's not clubbing at all now. He knows he has a daughter and one on the way, and a wife, you're gonna be tested and I will be there. I'm the on constant that will be there"
He sniffles a few times before taking Ta'Dell in his arms and going to.fix him something to eat, and feeding him.  They looked just alike. And he solely started to get over it, next thing I knew this clown was teaching an 8 month old how to dance... I truly sat there flabbergasted at it. Pretty soon, Sylver and Sterling joined in while the baby was just moving his arms and legs while in Odells arms. I took a video and posted it on instagram-
@jadynshephard my family, I don't know why Odell is teaching the baby how to dance but it is what it is. The feeling when you get rid of a rat is like none other. Im the pregnant lady who just sits on the couch while everybody else is dancing lol.
Likes, emojis and comments soon followed then Tori decided to say something
@toricruzxxx it seems like something's up huh @jadynshephard
@toricruzxxx I don't know why you're even following me go somewhere, we are not friends, we aren't even teammates anymore, after this game, nope, you've destroyed it, now shop fly
I laughed at the dancing and slowly started to drift off, before a little hand started rubbing my face...Odell had out the baby on me to wake me up. Cute Odell. Real Cute. I opened my eyes, and there was Ta'Dell Derrelle Beckham on my chest laying on me, rubbing my face and laughing I sat up, and say them watching Spongebob. Classic. I decided it was time to go and told Odell and Ta'Dell goodbye, and we left and went down the street to our house. Sylver was dead ass sleep. So Sterling woke her up took her inside, out her pajamas on and tucked her in the bed. I went in there and kissed her forehead before closing her door. I go down the hall to our room and take my clothes off, leaving me in bra and panties. I go up to Sterling and he gives me a much needed hug. He snakes his arm around my waist and kissed me ever so fiery, before his hand started traveling to my breasts. I threw my arms around his neck and smiled. He leaned into me and made me blush and feel hot. I rest my head on his neck and he reassured everything is going to be alright, before we lay down under the civers, and I lay on his chest as he murmured sweet nothings in my ear until we both fell asleep. What a day....
