The Authority's Grandchildren

Ch. 4

-Alexis's P.O.V-

We are on the way to the place we were meeting Grandma Stephanie and Grandpa Paul. "Why did we have to dress up?" I asked. "Your grandmother decided she wanted to eat at a fancy place which means we have to dress up. I'm just as happy about this as you are, Alexis." Mom said. "Why can't we eat at a normal restaurant?" I asked. "Because your grandmother is not normal." She said. "You all look good." Mom said.

We walked into the fancy restaurant and looked for Grandma Stephanie and Grandpa Paul. "I found them." Dad said walking over to them. We all followed him over to the table, and when we got to the table Grandma Stephanie stood up. "Tobias. Olivia. Kids." Grandma Stephanie said. I sat down first and then everyone else sat down. Grandpa Paul started to talk to Danny, Zack, Asher, and dad about sports. "How are you Alexis?" Grandma Stephanie asked. "Good." I said. "Anything good happen?" She asked. "Not yet." I said. "Now what does that mean?" She asked. "My boyfriend and I are celebrating two years together tomorrow." I said. "That's so cute." She said excitedly. "So why are we here?" I asked. "I just wanted to get everyone and have a family meal." She said. "Okay." I said. "Olivia, I'm quite surprised you're in a dress." Grandma Stephanie said. "Shush it. I try to wear more dresses now that I'm older." Mom said. "I'm very proud of you." Grandma Stephanie said. "You don't have to make a big deal out of it." Mom said. "Yes, I do. You never wore a dress when you were younger, and now you finally are." Grandma Stephanie said. "You never wore dresses when you were younger?" I asked. "Not that much. The only time I did was usually for the WWE Hall of Fame." Mom said. "Wow." I said. "I still hate dresses though." Mom said. "How is WWE?" I asked. "It's doing pretty good right now." Mom said. "What do you want to be when you get older, Ashley?" Grandma Stephanie asked. "A game designer. I like to play video games so why not make them." I said. "You should work with WWE." Grandma Stephanie said. "But I don't want to." I said. "Mom, you cannot tell my daughter what she can and can't do." Mom said. "Alexis, do whatever you want, don't do something because you grew up in it." Mom said looking at me. "I won't." I said. "Good because working with WWE isn't the best sometimes." Mom said. Grandpa Paul, dad and all the other guys looked over at us. "What is wrong Olivia?" Dad asked mom. "Nothing." Mom said. "I can help your daughter out. She is my granddaughter." Grandma Stephanie said. "At least she hasn't drunk anything harmful on my watch." Mom said. "That's very shocking. I'm surprised she isn't messed up like you." Grandma Stephanie said. "And at least I know who your father is." Grandma Stephanie said. "I know my dad." I said. Mom looked at Grandma Stephanie and then got up. "Olivia, wait." Dad said. Dad got up and followed mom. Asher looked at me and then looked at Grandma Stephanie. "Get the young ones." Asher said. I nodded and then got Bailey and Samantha. "Mom left her keys, dad probably has his phone. I'll call him while we go to the car, and make sure you get mom's purse." Asher said. "Got it." I said. We walked out to mom's car and got the kids into it before Asher called dad. Asher put it onto speaker so we both could hear what he said. "Hello?" Dad asked. "Hey dad. It's Alexis and I." Asher said. "Asher, I might need Alexis to come to your mom. Also, are you guys at the table anymore?" He asked. "No. We got the younger kids to the car." Asher said. "Dad, I will come talk with mom if you need me to." I said. "Okay. Now Alexis your mother is in the bathroom, and well I can't go in there so I will need you to come. I will then come out with to be with you Asher." Dad said. "Bye guys." Dad said. "Bye." Asher and I said together. "Well guess I need to go talk to mom." I said.

When I got to the restroom, I saw dad standing there. "Please try to talk to your mother. Your mom and Grandma Stephanie butt heads a lot, but this is the worst I have seen your mom react." Dad said. "Got it. You might want to go help Asher." I said. I went into the bathroom and heard someone crying. I looked underneath all the stalls and saw my mom's shoes. I walked over to the stall and knocked on the stall door. I heard her sniffle and then heard her cry some more. "Mom, open the stall." I said. I heard her sniffle again and then the door opened. "Mom, are you okay?" I asked. "Yes." She said. I wasn't going to push her any father because her makeup was telling a completely different story. "Alexis, you have nothing to worry about." She said. "Mom, don't try to act like you're okay. I know you are defiantly not okay." I said. "You won't understand." She said. "I may not understand, but you don't need to cry." I said. "Well I'm sorry you saw me like this." Mom said hugging me. I did want to know what Grandma Stephanie meant by at least I know who your father is. Was there something they were hiding, I guess I will find out about it at some point. "Let's head out to the car and when we get home I need to speak with you, and your brothers." She said. "Okay." I said.

We walked back out to the car and saw dad and Asher talking to each other. "Olivia." Dad said walking over to us. He hugged mom tightly and kissed her forehead. "It will be okay." Dad said. Mom mumbled something into him and then dad hugged her even tighter. "I'll take the little ones somewhere when we get home, you can keep Zack, Asher, and Alexis with you." Dad said. "Come on you two love birds." I said. Mom looked at me and then smiled. "If your boyfriend ever comes over, I'm picking on you." Mom said. "It's cool to see you're still the same." I said. "Did my parents leave?" Mom asked. "Yes. Your father would like you to call him. He just wanted to know if you're okay." Dad said. "Okay. I will call him when we get home." Mom said. "Now let's go home." Mom said. We all go into the car and then dad started towards the house.

When we got home, mom got Zack, Asher, and I into a room after she finished her phone call with Grandpa Paul. "I need to tell you guys something. I know you might not like it and I'm sorry for keeping it a secret." Mom said. Mom looked down and then looked back at all of us. "Grandpa Paul will be soon to me." She said. "Okay." Zack, Asher, and I said together. "I will be right back, I'm calling Aunt Samantha to come here too." Mom said. "Mom, we are fine with whoever you need to be here when you tell us whatever you need to tell us." Asher said.

Soon Grandpa Paul and Aunt Sam were in the room with us. Mom looked very nervous and Aunt Sam whispered into her ear. "Mom, are you sure you can do this?" Asher asked. "Yes. I need to." Mom said. "Olivia, is this the best time to do this?" Grandpa Paul asked. "Yes. They are old enough to know." Mom said. "You guys, all share the same dad, but it is a different dad then the younger ones." Mom started off saying. "How do the three of us have a different dad?" I asked. "You guys dad raped me when I was younger and I actually did know who your father was. Your guy's dad and I went to the same high school, and he was in all my classes. I loved all three of you from the beginning. If anyone tries to tell you guys I don't and never loved you all, while they are wrong." Mom said. We all sat there quietly causing mom to frown and silently cry. Both Asher, Zack, and I all looked at each other before we looked at mom. "Mom, it's okay. Dad may not be our actually dad, but he's been there for us since we were little." Asher said. "Yeah. So, if anyone deserves the title dad it's defiantly, Dad." Zack said. "Mom, I think it's cool you kept us and didn't try to lose us or give us up." I said. "None of you are mad?" Mom asked. "No. What happened to our really dad?" Asher asked. Aunt Sam looked at mom and then looked at all of us. "Long story short he was shot and killed in front of your mom, Grandma Stephanie, and myself. He blew up my house and pointed a gun at your mom. This caused your Grandma Stephanie to point a gun at your father." Aunt Sam said. "Really?" Asher, Zack, and I asked at the same time. "Yes." She said. "Where did Grandma Stephanie get a gun?" I asked. "I own one for protection. I had to get one when I was in high school; my grandma and grandpa knew about the gun." Mom said. "Your Grandma Stephanie and Grandpa Paul didn't know about most things that happened while I was in high school. They actually didn't know that I self-harmed for many years until I was put in the hospital due to a car crash." Mom said. "Is it true Grandpa Paul?" I asked. "Yes. I met your mother's band mates before Grandma Stephanie did. Grandma Stephanie was super mad that I knew she didn't." Grandpa Paul said. "That's pretty much all I needed to tell you." Mom said. "Is our dad's parents still alive?" Asher asked. "No. They died a few years ago, due to a car crash." Mom said. "Oh." I said. "You can invite your boyfriend and girlfriend over here. I know this is a lot to take in, and I'm sorry for not telling you guys sooner." Mom said. "Tell mom I said I don't know if we will be coming over this weekend." Mom said to Grandpa Paul. "Okay. Just please talk to her, I don't care if you yell at her make her feel bad." Grandpa Paul said. "I will." Mom said. "Invite your boyfriend over." Aunt Sam said sitting next to me. "Why?" I asked. "I want to meet him." She said. "Great." I said. "Hey I'm an amazing aunt." She said. "You really are." I said. "Now invite him over." She said poking my side. "Fine." I said.
