It was noon time,and Tammy and Tiera stood in the kitchen peeling potatoes for dinner while Jasmine sat on the couch in the living room watching TV. Sam came rushing through the Door and into the kitchen with two bags stuffed with toys in them. Tammy paused on what she was doing and turned to Sam with a smile upon her face. Her husband was the best, he was very supportive especially with the fact that they knew Tiera was still suffering with the lost of her parents.

"Look what I got" Sam said happily still standing in the doorway of the kitchen.
"Sam what you done did"? Tammy asked putting the peeler down and heading over to him.
"Well I went out and got little Tiera a few gifts that I think she would like" Sam said putting the bag of toys in front of Tiera on the table.
"Thank you uncle Sam" Tiera said jumping up and hugged him.
"You welcome baby girl" Sam said hugging her back.
"Your so thoughtful Sam" Tammy said smiling from ear to ear.
Jasmine came rushing in the kitchen to see what all the fuss was about. When she seen Tiera opening all the dolls and coloring books she grew mad. Mainly because nothing was for her.
"Daddy where's my stuff at"? Jasmine asked looking through the bags.
"Aw baby you have plenty now let Tiera shine for a minute" Sam said with a crook smile.
"He's right Jasmine you do have alot of toys" Tammy chimed in.
Jasmine frowned "But I want more" she said folding her arms with a pout.
"Later baby girl" Sam said.
"No I want something now daddy why does she get things but I don't she's not special" Jasmine barked.
"Stop it jasmine" Tammy yelled,fed up with jasmine and jealous ways. Jasmine stormed out the kitchen and seconds later they heard the sound of her bedroom door slam.
Sam took a deep breath "I'll go talk to her".
"Please do for I whoop her tail" Tammy warned,watching Sam leave the kitchen. She went back to cooking just like she was doing before Sam came in the house.
"Did I do something wrong"? Tiera asked in a sad voice.
Tammy walked over to her and put her arm around her "No baby you didn't do nothing wrong. Listen you've been through enough and we just want you to feel welcomed, Jasmine will understand one day".
Sadly she didn't...Tiera nodded her head and started to play with her new doll Sam had got her. They did make her feel welcomed and she was appreciated for the love that was given.

Later on:

Tiera sat on the couch across from Jasmine, both of them were glued to the cartoon on tv when they heard fussing coming from Sam and Tammy's room. For some reason Jasmine wasn't fazed a bit but Tiera on the other hand wanted to know what was going on being tho she wasn't use to hearing the fussing thing. Tiera got up and snuck in the hallway and peeked her head down to the bedroom that Tammy and Sam shared. The door was slightly ajar so she could hear clearly.

"No Sam... You will not I sware I will -" Tammy said but was cut off.
"Do what?? What you gonna do"? Sam yelled.
"Take them girls and leave I promise you" Tammy said boldly.

Slap!!!

The sound echoed the house, Tiera stood still trying to figure out what she just heard. She was about to walk to the bedroom but stopped dead in her tracks when Sam appeared at the door. He looked mad as hell as sweat poured from his face, he glanced at a frighten Tiera before slamming the bedroom door closed.
With no other choice Tiera went back into the living room and sat back down on the couch across from jasmine. The fact that Jasmine never moved a inch bothered Tiera it was like she wasn't concerned at all. Little did she know this was a everyday thing for Tammy and Jasmine, Sam had been beating Tammy for years.
That's what the fuss between Tammy and her sister was about Tiera's mother noticed the bruises but Tammy was to in love to see what her sister was trying to tell her.

That night:

Shontiera was in a deep sleep when she felt something tugging on her underwear. To afraid to open her eyes it wasnt until she felt her panties being ripped off. She opened her eyes and seen Sam hovered over her little frail body.
"What are you doing"? She asked nervously.
"I know you want me to I see the way you look at me Tiera" Sam said kicking his pants off and dropping them to the floor.
"Please no stop" Tiera cried out.
Sam quickly covered her mouth "Shut up... You better keep quiet or I promise you I will kill you".

She did as she was told and kept quiet. Moments later she felt a sharp pain between her legs, it was Sam pushing his manhood inside her. He raped her twice that night and after he was done he told her that if she told a soul she would meet her parents in heaven earlier than she think.
