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

36

Brantley's Pov 

I was looking at all of the bills for this month. Not to bad I guess. It only added up to be $600 for everything. I already gave Emerson another $1,900 to do whatever she wants with it. Extra food, more gas in her car, whatever she may need for this month. Plus we have Riker's birthday to plan for as well. We have only been home for only 2 weeks and today we are going to meet with the therapist that is going to talk to Riker about what happen to him. I just hope this all works out for him. I just want my son to be able to get over this and move on with the rest of his life. 

I wrote my last chcek for all of the bills and was ready to get mailed out. Most likely my wife is going to do that later today sometime. Poor Emerson didn't go to bed until 4 in the morning. It wasn't Dawson keeping her up, she is taking classes on line to get her high school diploma and taking an online class for collage. What can I say my wife is a bad ass like that. I looked over at the clock on the wall and saw it was already going on 9 in the morning. Luke, Sammi and the boys are coming over to watch the boys since Wilson, Ms. Pearl and Brett all went back home. 

I got up and walked over to Finn and Dawson's room and saw them both up laying in Dawson's crib. Finn waved at me and kissed his baby brothers bold head. I took a picture of that. I might post that on my face book page later. If my son don't start growing hair soon I might have the doctors do some test on my boy. I walked out of there room to go and see if Arlo was up. When I looked into his room I saw he was still sleeping. I'm not going to wake him up just yet. I shut the door and walked over to Riker's room. When I opened up the door I saw he was sitting on his bed with his head down. Ever since he tried to kill himself he hasn't been his old self. I walked over to his bed and sat down next to him. 

"How are you doing man?" I asked him. Riker looked up at me. 

"Not good." He said to me. I wish I could take all of his pain away and just let him be his self. The 10 going on 11 year old boy that he needs to be. 

"Hopefully today is a new start for you son." I said to him. He looked at me. 

"I hope so dad. I hate acting like this all of the time." Riker said to me. I put my had on his back. 

"Whatever happens we will get through it as a family. I got your back son." I said to him. He looked at me. 

"Thank you." Riker said to me. I smiled at him. 

"Your welcome son. Now get dress. I'm going to get your mama up." I said to him. 

"Okay." Riker said to me, walking over to his dresser. I got up and walked out of his room. I was about to walk to the bedroom door when I heard the front door open up. I looked and saw Sammi and Luke and all of the boys walking in. I walked over to them. 

"I know we are early, but--" I cut Luke off. 

"Thanks for coming brother." I said to him. Luke pulled me into a hug. 

"We are family man. Whatever you, Emerson and the boys need we are here to help you man." Luke said to me. I looked at him. We might not be blood but we are still brothers no matter what. 

"Where is Emerson at?" Sammi asked me. I looked over at her. 

"Still in the bed room." I told her. She walked down the hall way. 

"Uncle Brantley is Arlo up?" Tate asked me. I bent down to his level. 

"No, but why don't you and your brother go and get him up for me." I said to Tate and Bo. They both smiled at me before running down the hall way to Arlo's room. I looked outside and saw Til sitting on the deck. 

"What's wrong with that one?" I asked Luke. 

"Girl problems. The girl he wanted to take to the dance turned him down for another boy." Luke told me. Poor kid. Been there more then once, but I got the best later in life. 

"I know the perfect girl for his happy ass." I said to my best friend. 

"Keeley, I know. But he don't like her?" Jason said to me. I walked over to my coffee pot to get my wife her coffee ready for her. 

"Why not?" I asked him. 

"She's only 14 and he is 16 going on 17 in 5 more months." Jason told me. I was about to say something, when my sexy wife walked over to me. 

"Where is my coffee?" Emerson said to me. I gave her cup of coffee and a big kiss on her forehead. 

"No kissing me yet Gilbert." Emerson said to me. God I love this woman so much. 

"Y'all are so cute together." Sammi said to us. I smiled at her. 

"Yes a big old country hick man and a teenage mother. Now that is a great love story." Emerson said to her best friend.

"Someone is in a good mood." Luke said to my wife. Emerson gave him the finger. I moved my sexy tiny little wife over to me. 

"Today is going to be a good day?" I said to her. She looked up at me. 

"I just hope Riker gets the help he needs. I don't know how many more nights I can watch him having nightmares and being sad all of the time." Emerson said to me. I know this is hard for all of us, but I think this is what Riker needs. 

"Mom, dad is it time to go." Riker asked us. I looked over at the clock. 

"Yes it is. Luke, thanks again on keeping an eye on the kids for us." I said to my best friend. 

"Hey, it's all good brother. Get my nephew the help the kid needs." Luke said to me. 

"Thanks. We will." I said to him. I looked over at my eldest son. He just looks so lost right now. 

"Come on guys. We need to be going." I said to my son and to my wife. We walked out to the front porch and saw Til on the phone with someone. 

"Yeah. I understand. Have fun with Fred." Til said to most likely to a girl. 

"Hey dude." Til said to Riker. Riker looked over at him. 

"Hey." He said walking over to the truck. Til looked over at me and at Emerson. 

"I hope Riker gets better." Til said to us. 

"Me to man. Listen if you can't find a girl I know the best one for you." I said to him. Til looked over at me. 

"Aunt Emerson a little help here." Til asked my wife. 

"Okay young man let's go and leave poor Til alone. And Til, age is just a number. Remember that." Emerson said to my nephew. We walked over to the truck and got in. I looked back over at Riker. 

"How are you feeling little man?" I asked him. He looked over at me. 

"I just want to get this over with." Riker said to Emerson and I. 

"This is going to help you honey. I promise you." Emerson said to Riker. 

"I hope so." Riker said to us. I started up the truck and pulled out of the driveway. I hope this works out for my son too. Only time will tell.
