Him, My Kids and My Life (A Brantley Gilbert Fan-Fiction)

14

3 week old Dawson Keith Gilbert. 

Brantley's Pov 

I was outside picking up the yard after we had our BBQ. I'm just glad it was all over now. The only ones here now are my parents and Emerson and her boys and my new born son. When Amber told me she was pregnant with my child I was lost. I didn't know what to do or say. I didn't know if I wanted to be a father just yet, but that all changed when I saw that little dude at the police station. The second I looked into his eyes he had me. I know now I made the right choice on adopting my son back. I don't care what Amber thinks or say about him. He is mine and I'm going to change everything for this little man. 

I picked up another beer can. Most of my family still drinks and I'm not going to lie about it I had 2 beers while I was talking to my friends and my family, but I haven't took any meth, or pain pills in 6 days now. I'm going to be sober for my son. And when I asked Emerson to marry me I meant it. Now I have a wife and 4 kids to think about now. I'm 32 years old I need to get my life back in order. I just can't be 32 years old and still acting like a young teenage punk. 

I looked over and saw Riker, Arlo and Finn all looking at Dawson. I walked over to them. Since it's not too cold or too hot outside we are still hanging outside. I walked over to them and picked up Finn and put him on my lap so I can sit next to Riker and Arlo. They all had a big smiles on there faces. I can't wait to tell them that there mama and I are getting married. 

"He's so tiny Brantley." Arlo said to me. I smiled at him. At 3 weeks old Dawson Keith is 19 inches long and only 5 pounds and 8 oz. Tiny little man but he is healthy and happy. Plus he likes these 3 little dudes now. He better because I have a lot of plans for us as a family.  

"Yeah he is. He still new." I said to him. Arlo smiled down at him. 

"You still like us too right Brantley." Riker asked me. I put my hand on his shoulder. 

"You boys are my family just as much as Dawson Keith is." I said to all of them. 

"Even mama." Finny asked me. I smiled at him. 

"Yes dude. Even your mama." I said to them. I heard my mama talking to Emerson. I looked over there and saw mama and Emerson out on the back deck and I think everyone in town could hear my mama yelling at Emerson. 

"Riker, keep an eye on these little dudes for me." I asked Riker. He looked over at me. 

"I will Brantley." Riker said to me. I got up and was making my way over to the deck when I saw the look on Emerson's face. She was crying. 

"You need to leave now." My mama said to Emerson. Darlin was looking down at her feet. I knew something was up, but I need to find out what in the hell it was. 

"Mrs. Gilbert I was only trying to help you." Darlin said to my mama. 

"Hey, what's going on?" I asked my mama and Darlin. 

"Brantley, please tell this-- this--- this girl that she needs to leave. I have to give Dawson a bath and feed him before bed. Her and her children would just be in the way." My mama said to me. Mt daddy was behind my mama shaking his head at her. 

"Mama, Emerson and the kids are staying here with me for the night. We got this. You and daddy go on home." I said to her. Mama looked up at me. 

"But you still have a lot to learn about raising a new born. Your father can mange a moth or 2 with out me. Can't you dear." Mama asked my father. I looked over at my daddy, praying he would say something. 

"Becky if this young woman is staying here for the night then maybe we could----" My mama cut my father off. 

"I don't want this white trash slut around my grandson. Nor do I want her little tree monster be around all of us." My mother just said to me. I looked at her. 

"Mama you tell Emerson you are sorry." I said to her. She looked up at me. 

"I will not. Look at them Brantley. We are better then them." My mama just said to me. My parents was never poor nor did they ever was rich, but we was the middle class family. Dad was a factory worker and my mama was a beautician from our old house. 

"Mama we aren't rich. Now tell Emerson you are sorry for what you just said about her and her kids." I said to her. I wish my dad would help me out on this. 

"No. Brantley she is a 25 year old slut." My mama said to me. I looked over at Emerson and all she could do was cry. I looked down at my mama. 

"Leave." I said to both of them. 

"What?" My mama said to me. 

"Son, your mama didn't mean none of that." Now my dad wants to talk. 

"No. I know what she meant. And this is my house and this is my money that buys you a house or them cars you are driving. Or that farm you wanted dad. Well that all stops now. I want you both out of here and you are no more welcome here until you give Emerson and her boys you are both sorry." I said to them. 

"Come on Darlin." I said to her. I wrapped my arm around her and we walked over to the boys. 

"Let's go and do what we talked about right now." I said to her. Emerson looked up at me. 

"Now. What about the kids? I want my mama and my brother to be there." Emerson said to me. 

"Come on. We got everything that we need right here. You, me and all of our kids." I said to Emerson. She looked up at me and smiled. 

"Your right. Everything that is most important to us here right here. I'm ready now." Emerson said to me. I smiled at her. 

"Boys come on." I said to all of them. I picked up my newborn son. 

"Where are we going Brantley?" Riker asked me. I looked down at him. 

"To a wedding." I said to him. We all walked over to my pick up truck and we all got in. After we was all in, I looked over at Emerson. 

"Are you ready for this?" I asked her. She looked over at me. 

"Yes. Yes I am." Emerson said to me. I pulled out of the drive way heading to the all night chapel just outside of the state of Georgia. This is it. This is going to be my last wedding I'm ever going to have for my self. I just hope I can keep my promise to my son and the promise I'm about to make too Emerson.
