Age of Atticus

Chapter 21: That's Where She's My Kid

Ever since Dean told me he wasn't sleeping and he was getting stressed out at home, I decided was gonna start paying the extra money to go home every week when I wasn't on the card for one of the house shows. But this was tiring me out.

"Babe it's noon." Dean said slowly shaking my body. I groaned and turned on to my back from my stomach to see my husband putting clothes away in my drawers.

"Dean I'm tired."

"I know but you've gotta get up. You and I both promise Carter that we would take her and one of her friends to Adventureland for Go-Karts and stuff."

"I know but I'm exhausted."

"I promise you can sleep when we get home okay?"

I nodded slowly got out of bed. Changing into some jeans and a cotton tee. Dean was wearing a Motley Crüe shirt and jeans. That's my man.

I had Dean braid my hair in two French braids before we went downstairs and saw Carter sitting by the front door. "I've been waiting for two hours to leave. I've been sitting by this door since ten am! Let's get a move on people!" She yelled causing me to roll my eyes.

We got into the car and Dean drove to Carter's friends house. Deans eyes widened when a boy had walked out. "Excuse me but it's a boy?" He asked.

"Oh chill out. It's her crush don't do anything stupid."

"She's a kid I do not want her dating!"

"She's not dating asshat. Now, shut up and introduce yourself. I already know Jaime."

"Jaime? His name is Jaime?"

He kids climbed into the car and I greeted Jaime. "I'm Dean it's nice to meet you Jaime. I'm Carter's dad."

"I know who you are! You're my favorite WWE Superstar."

"I like this kid." Dean said driving off to Adventureland.

"Dean get off my ass!" I yelled to him behind me as I drove the kart along the indoor track with Dean right on my ass.

I pushed on the break giving both of us whiplash but laughed as I had won. I beat him, Carter, and Jaime. "Sorry guys but, Mama always picks up the victory." I said stepping out and patting myself on the back mentally and physically.

We decided to play laser tag and you know how Dean and I get. We get competitive so you can't even begin to imagine how Carter gets. Cart got so competitive she climbed onto of the hiding places and shot us all.

She went to get down while Dean and I were running trying to shoot the other little kids playing with us as we laughed evilly, when we heard a familiar shriek of pain. "Carter." We said looking at each other and running.

We saw her holding her arm and crying. Dean picked her up and carried her out while I found Jaime being cornered by the other little kids. I got them all with my gun and laughed before we ran out to go find Dean and Carter at the car.

I called Jaime's parents to meet us at the hospital as Dean sped the entire way there. I was sitting in the back trying to calm Carter down but she wouldn't stop crying and screaming. At one point, she growled at me. Not gonna lie it scared me.

I looked at Dean when he looked back in the rear view mirror as he pulled into the emergency entrance. We all ran in and Jaime ran to his parents. "My daughter hurt her arm and she's screaming and we were playing laser tag please help her!" Dean yelled and I shook my head as he was too panicky which was freaking Carter out a little more.

"Dean chill the f out. You're scaring her." I told him as I tried calming her down once again.

She ended up calming down once we entered the room.

"Mavis sign my cast!" Carter yelled walking into the house. I've never seen someone so happy to break their arm then again Carter is her fathers child and they're both a little strange so.

Carter is obsessed with the cast and thinks it's the coolest thing since Deadpool. She thinks sliced bread is boring so she says Deadpool instead.

That's where she's my kid.
