GIA POV

Since Delano doesn't understand what being on punishment means he's doing to learn today. Salem should not be outside this house. Neither is Harlow. But he rather just ignore the fact she's suppose to suffer in the house. Then coming from a girl who didn't want to even go out yesterday cause she didn't want anyone seeing her short hair due.

"You Ready?" I asked. Harlow smiled and ran to the car. With two pre teens and two little ones the food goes fast in here. Never mind Delano eats like an animal that he is. "To the supermarket we go".

I swear I was just in here last week loading up on food. When I pulled up Harlow strapped herself out "soon enough you won't even need the car seat!". She smiled at me "I'm a big girl".

"That you are! Come on let's go" I said

"That you are! Come on let's go" I said.

We walked into the huge market and Harlow got a cart and climbed inside. She used to push the cart but she rather be in the cart with the food. But she also helps me get things off the shelf.

I told Ryan and Kai to make me a list of what they wanted. That was a mistake. "Your brothers can eat!" I said. "Especially Ryan He's always hungry" she said.

"You are right about that" I joked.

Filling up the cart with what each person listed amongst getting real food to cook as well. Harlow helped me put everything in the back of the car. When we got home Salem and Delano were back from there trampoline visit. He helped me bring in the bags. Harlow ran inside and helped me put away the groceries. Delano came back in closing the door "that's it?".

I nodded "oh by the way I have a bone to pick with you". He stood there confused "what about?".

"When I say Salem is on punishment it doesn't for you to bend the rules" I said.

"She wanted to go to the trampoline place" he said.

"Salem wants to do a lot of things. But she's punished. So instead of you just under minding me just say no" I said.

"Look I'm sorry. With all that's going on with Harlow who refuses to acknowledge me now. It has my mind thinking" he said.

"Well try and do something about it! Instead of thinking she'll come around. Harlow is very set in her ways" I said.

"Apparently" he said.

"I would jump in and settle this but I can tell she doesn't want me to. She rather you figure it out and come to her rescue. And you've failed at that already" I said.

"With any of the other kids I would know how to handle this. But for some reason Harlow is a little different. Just when you think you're doing enough it's not enough for her" he said.

"Let me give you some bait. If you had just stood up for her when Salem was mouthing off... none of this would be happening. You're actions are proving to her that Salem is more of a priority than she is. Harlow maybe a tough cookie. But she's also sensitive too" I said. He side eyed Harlow running to the bathroom.

Now I had to fix miss Salem now. "And you listen up!". She sat up and turned to me "What?".

"You're punishment extended a another week for being slick. You knew you couldn't go out but you persuaded daddy to take you somewhere. Until you learn to be nice and what a punishment is then you'll always be on punishment" I said.

She stared at me upset "and fix your face!" I warned. She threw herself into the couch "you kids keep playing with me! I'm not the one. Play with daddy when it comes to that" I said.

Salem crossed her arms over her chest "don't be mad! If you didn't call your sister ugly. You could go anywhere you please. There would be no issue".

"But—" I cut her off "did I ask you to respond to anything I'm saying?. No!. You need to cut this attitude you have now. I don't even know where you got this shit from but return it. Now you got daddy in trouble as well" I said.

Delano seemed as if he was fighting with himself. He kept mumbling something to himself. Harlow squeezed passed him. "Harlow if I'm in the way just say excuse me" he said. She didn't even look his way. Delano turned her around "did you hear me?".

"Don't touch me!" she said.

"Excuse me?" He asked. She grabbed her arm from his grasp. "I said do not touch me". Delano looked at me and back at Harlow. Salem hopped off the couch "don't be rude to daddy!".

"Mind your business!" Harlow yelled.

I sighed "now I'm getting pissed. Delano either you fixed this or you will never ever get anything from me ever again. Meaty will not be entertained! And I swear on everything I'm being dead serious".

Walking away from this scene. Delano stood there in the middle of both girls with his hands on his head. He looked like he was being pulled in both directions.
