They pulled up to the house and saw where Tina’s dad had the car parked in the garage covered up as usual and everyone else‘s cars were parked along the side of the driveway. Before any of the kids could think about grabbing their bags they took off towards the house and ran yelling into the house. Bette and Tina were at the trunk grabbing the luggage when JoJo Tina’s brother came out of the house carrying Jeremiah upside telling him to help his mother’s with their luggage. Miah reluctantly grabbed a few bags and teetered into the house with them.

JoJo greeted and helped them with luggage before he gave them a warning, “Momma’s on a rampage, don’t ask me why but I’d suggest staying away from her for now, especially you.” he motioned with his head towards Tina.

“Me? What’d I do?” her eyes shot open in surprise. “You know what never mind I get it.” Tina shook him off before he could answer her back. They brought all the luggage into the rooms and Bette and Tina were finally left alone for the moment.

“Why did you tell Momma we’d stay here instead of a hotel?” Tina asked before she fell backwards onto the smaller full size bed. Already she knew this wasn’t going to be enough room for them.

“Because my wife is such push over when it comes to her Mommy that she’d already agreed to stay here before I could say anything about a hotel.” Bette said kicking Tina’s feet that were hanging over the edge. Tina giggled at her answer and held her arms out in front of her and let Bette crawl up her body and rest against hers. Bette was just about to close her eyes and let some much needed sleep fall over her, when the bedroom door was kicked open and they were saturated with water balloons and a water cannon. Their screams did nothing to halt the assailants who were laughing as the women fell off of the bed and over each other. Tina gained her footing and took off after them, Gabriel was trailing behind Nehemiah as they jetted down the stairs laughing at an angry and soaking wet Tina. She was close to catching Gabriel when her mother’s voice stopped her short of the back door.
