A Family Betrayal Chapter 39 alternate ending

It’s been a weird couple of weeks since Father’s Day. My family has been coming together supporting one another. There has been a few other changes which have caught my eyes…Simone and Vanessa. Both have well been flirting with me, and showing me affection other then a niece to her uncle. I have been a bit worried about the way they come up to me in front of my wives and loves placing their arms around me and kissing me. It’s at those times I hear giggles. I look to see Simon, Lisa, Savannah, and Megan to see them smiling at me. I don’t know what they expect to happen, but I shake the thought from my head. I have even told those that have my heart my thoughts to only get smiles with their feelings being ‘Whatever happens let it happen’. I look to Renee, Jessie, and Tessa asking them what they thought. Tessa told me that her granddaughters couldn’t pick a better man then me to love in their hearts. Renee and Jessie agreed with her which I should of known they would. I let the subject drop taking their words as advice. I truly didn’t know what to think really, but wasn’t going to push, or hurt those that I was married to or loved in the bedroom meaning my loves. Hell I had so many that loved me in every way. My beautiful wives Jasmine, Diamond, Hannah, Jessie, and Tiffany. My beautiful loves Allison, Renee, Faye, Jackie, Tessa, Ellie, Verna, Kiko, and Mom. I have slept with Michelle and Selena to let them be mothers since Adam and Chris couldn’t due to unfair circumstances. I admit Chris’s situation was due to my uncalled for temper as I kicked him a bit too hard between the legs. They think Lil Heath was a miracle to keep their love together and strong. Just a week ago Travis confronted me asking me to help with Kaye. I asked him if you really wanted me to be with Kaye in that way. He responded with a smile saying if she was happy to be pregnant, and experience conceiving a baby then so be it. The baby would still have our blood line regardless. I told him I would think about it. I needed to figure out my feelings about the matter and told him I needed to talk with my loves.

Today was July 4th and like the past years Ron, Gina, and Tracey have put on their fireworks shows on the beach. This year they asks Adam, Jack, Justin, and Nicky to help. They each told them they would love to help. I thought about a few things to only smile as this would be Allison, Lindsey, and my Alabama family’s first year to witness a beautiful sight. During the afternoon Adam and the guys went to help Ron and William set things up for the night. The kids were all excited about what tonight was going to bring. Karen and the others were filling Lindsey in making her eyes go wide. I chuckled as her expression was priceless.Simone and Vanessa were both hanging with my ladies and I. I could see they were looking at me like love struck young women. Although I remembered what my loves told me, and just stayed calm until things seemed to cross a line.

And the day went by with the family all celebrating on the beach with Simone and Vanessa staying close to me getting me a beer here and there plus a burger after Jack got done cooking them. I could see the women of the family smiling at the two showing me love in their own way. The kids were all playing in the sand while my loves held our other little ones under the big umbrellas to shade them from the sun. The guys were all playing Volley ball while their ladies watched on. I chuckled as Ellie, Verna, and Kiko had smiles seeing their husbands sweaty bodies glisten in the sun.

It was after dinner that everyone gathered beach towels, refilled coolers, and the baby carriers. We all ventured down to the beach. I was helped by Renee and Tessa because I was still a bit sore in my ribs. Once down on the beach I was sat in my lounge chair with my ladies all next to me on either side. Lindsey got in my lap, because Karen insisted since it was her first time to see the show. Karen and the boys sat with their mothers. Everyone got situated before Gina spoke up on her bullhorn.

“ HELLO EVERYONE, FAMILY, FRIENDS, AND GUEST. LIKE EVERY YEAR MY FAMILY HOST THE FIREWORKS SHOW!” She says getting a applause before going on “ THIS YEAR WE WOULD LIKE TO WELCOME OUR NEW FAMILY MEMEBERS. EVERYONE KNOWS HEATH WELL HE HAS QUITE A FEW NEW MEMBERS. FIRST I WOULD LIKE TO WELCOME MY NEW GRANBABIES. TINA, MAGGIE MAY, VERNA KIKO, JACKIE TESSAROSA, CHRISTOPHER, AJ, ANTHONY, and LINDSEY.”

“ Oh gosh she said my name daddy.” Lindsey says while I hold her

“ Yes she did baby girl.” I say as we hear Gina speak up again

“ I WOULD LIKE TO WELCOME ALL OUR NEW FAMILY! NOW WITH NO FURTHER ADO PLEASE ENJOY THE SHOW!” She says before the first firework is lit shooting up into the night sky at 9 o’clock that night

“ Oh wow it’s so pretty daddy.” Lindsey says with a beautiful smile

We hear the little ones giggle while watching from the carriers. It is a wonderful night with everyone having fun. Lindsey laid her back against my chest to look up at the sky being lit up. All my kids enjoyed themselves as did the adults. Damon was recording the whole event so we would have something to remember by. Kevin seemed to enjoy the show also, but was more in the line of standing watch. I guess after everything was told to him Kevin brought it upon himself to be my bodyguard.

“ You enjoying the show baby girl?” Allison asked our daughter with a smile

“ Yes I am mommy are you?” Lindsey answers only to ask in return

“ Yes I am as this feels like a celebration for us being with your daddy and our new family.” Allison says taking my hand in her right since she was sitting on my left

Lindsey nodded agreeing not taking her eyes off the sky. I squeezed Allison’s hand letting her know I was happy they were here. After the next two hours went by the show was over. My family gathered up the kids and stuff making their way up to the house.

“ You coming baby?” Allison asked being concerned

“ No thinking I’ll sit for a few moments listening to the waves. Go on ahead I’ll be in shortly.” I answer telling her to only get a kiss on my lips

As she made her way taking her towel in tow. I scooted my lounge chair around to the ocean to watch the moonlight shine upon the water. I thought of how the day went to only smile. Just like the kids I had fun along with the family. I hadn’t had so much fun in awhile. I closed my eyes just to relax them since I haven’t all through the day. Before I knew it the last thing I heard was the ocean waves clash with the rocks in the distance.

The next week and a half went by with the family preparing for the up coming birthdays: Lil Heath, Lindsey’s, and mine. I thought of what to get the two for their birthdays. It had to be something very nice.

==========================================================================================================================================


From here on the story is in Nick‭’‬s point of view

I have been missing my family for so long that I thought a surprise visit would be nice.‭ ‬I have called Savannah everyday except for Tuesday but I never got a answer from her or Megan.‭ ‬It‭’‬s Thursday a day before little Heath‭’‬s birthday around‭ ‬3‭ ‬in the afternoon that I pull up in front of the house that my family came to stay.‭ ‬The last I talked with Savannah she told me Simone has fallen in love with Heath and Megan and her planned to give‭ ‬her to Heath as a birthday gift.‭ ‬I am outright mad but she tells me Simone is eighteen and can choose her own man.‭ ‬I also get informed that Vanessa has fallen in love with Heath and Lisa planned to do the same.‭ ‬Before I can object Savannah hangs up.‭ ‬I had‭ ‬Heath‭’‬s birthday gift on the trailer along with an old promise I made to Kevin.‭ ‬I planned to talk to both and try to bury the hatchet because I was so lost without my family.‭ ‬I wanted…..no I NEEDED them back in my life.‭ ‬After getting out of my truck I made my way to the front door only to stop dead in my tracks.‭ ‬I noticed the door was open a bit but I didn’t hear any voices.‭ ‬There was a foul odor coming from behind it.‭ ‬I pulled my Smith and Wesson from it‭’‬s holster.‭ ‬I placed my hand on the door to just push it open hearing it creak.‭ ‬The odor got stronger while I placed my left hand over my nose.‭ ‬I made my way in just to stop dead in my tracks again,‭ ‬but this time my eyes went wide.‭ ‬The scene in front of me looked like a living nightmare with bodies everywhere.‭ ‬I thought they were all playing a joke on me for all the shit I had pulled before Mother‭’‬s Day and had to laugh.

‭“‬ Ok you all this isn‭’‬t funny.‭”‬ I say only to get silence except for some whimpering before I continued‭ “‬ Really you can get up now this isn’t funny.‭”

I took a few steps to come up on Kevin laying on the floor with his eyes open.‭ ‬I kneeled down to place two fingers on his left wrist.‭ ‬There was no pulse while I looked at the bullet hole between his eyes.‭ ‬I felt a sick feeling in my stomach and I looked around to notice more and more things that just shouldn’t be.‭ ‬I heard the whimper again,‭ ‬but listened to find it coming from the back sliding door.‭ ‬I lifted up my gun pointing it in the direction while I stood.‭ ‬I made my way over while not trying to step on those I loved so dearly.‭ ‬Once over I see it‭’‬s Batty.‭ ‬He is badly hurt,‭ ‬but still fighting to stay alive watching over the other dogs who have been shot and passed.‭ ‬I see him licking his wounds,‭ ‬but the body he is by makes me drop my gun while‭ ‬I go to my knees next to her.‭ ‬I pick the body up to find it stiff.‭ ‬I feel my heartbreak as I turn her in my arms.‭ ‬I see her eyes are closed while I move a strain of hair from her face.‭ ‬It was my dearest Savannah.‭ ‬My heart that gave me so much.‭ ‬I shake my head back and forth while feeling my anger build.

‭“‬ OH GOD NOO‭!”‬ I yell at the top of my voice before hearing a faint voice

‭“‬ Gram…py Nick‭?”‬ I hear coming from the floor

I turn to look and see it‭’‬s my little Karen.‭ ‬I place Savannah softly on the floor,‭ ‬but give her a kiss on the lips one last time.‭ ‬I feel tears start to form,‭ ‬but fight myself to stay strong.‭ ‬Once I place my dearest wife down I pick Karen up.‭ ‬Her clothes are soaked in blood and urine while I turn to look at Savannah to see a few bullet holes in her chest.‭ ‬I shake my head pulling Karen to me while she cries.‭ ‬I hold her close so she knows she is safe.

‭“‬ I am so sorry I wasn‭’‬t here baby girl.‭”‬ I say feeling her arms around my neck

‭“‬ Why‭? ‬Why…..did he do all this‭?”‬ She says through her sobs

‭“‬ Who honey‭? ‬Who did all this bloodshed‭?”‬ I ask hearing her cry so hard

It‭’‬s at that moment she says one word….one name I will always remember for the rest of my life.

‭“‬ Jaime.‭”‬ Karen says while I sit back on my feet holding the only survivor that I know of except for Batty

‭“‬ Karen I need to look around for the others.‭ ‬I need to see if anyone else is alive.‭”‬ I say feeling her head shake back and forth

‭“‬ NO DON‭’‬T LEAVE ME…ALONE‭!”‬ She screams out while I rub her back

‭“‬ I am not going to leave you baby girl.‭ ‬I just need to know if any of our other family members are alive.‭”‬ I tell her while hearing Batty still whimpering

‭“‬ You…you promise‭?”‬ She asks in a very sad voice

‭“‬ Yes I promise,‭ ‬but first you need to get cleaned up.‭ ‬How long have you been under….under your grandma Savannah‭?”‬ I ask while smelling urine and feces

‭“‬ Two days.‭ ‬I couldn‭’‬t get out from under her because I was so scared that he would come back.‭ ‬Batty stayed by me.‭”‬ She explains while I turn to see him so badly hurt

‭“‬ He must of held up for awhile‭?”‬ I ask stating to get a slow nod

‭“‬ He did grampie after….after grammie Vannah tried to save me he fought Jaime,‭ ‬but he got hurt protecting us.‭”‬ Karen exclaims while I nod

‭“‬ Then we need to take care of him,‭ ‬but you first.‭”‬ I say while she slowly nods

‭“‬ I…I need clothes,‭ ‬and but I am to scared to go get them.‭”‬ She says while I think of what to do

‭“‬ Tell you what I will go up and get them,‭ ‬but I need you to promise me you will not leave the bathroom until I come back.‭ ‬Do you understand baby girl‭?‬” I exclaim asking to get a quiet nod

I hold onto her while standing up before I make sure she can‭’‬t see all the bodies that surrounded us.‭ ‬I was used to carnage but this even made my body quiver with disgust and sadness.‭ ‬I could only image what she would‭ ‬feel.‭ ‬I made our way to one of the bathrooms on the first floor.‭ ‬I came to what was Jack,‭ ‬Sierra,‭ ‬and Mandy‭’‬s room.‭ ‬I don‭’‬t see anyone inside while I put her on the bed.

‭“‬ Now stay in here until I get back sweetheart.‭ ‬I will go get Batty and bring him in here so I know you both are safe.‭ ‬So get out of those clothes.‭ ‬After you’re done put a towel around you until I get back.‭ ‬Promise me you will stay in here.‭”‬ I explain to see her nod

‭“‬ I promise grampy,‭ ‬but please don‭’‬t leave me in here alone I am so scared.‭”‬ She says while I give her a quick hug

‭“‬ I promise now go take a bath and get cleaned up.‭ ‬I will go get Batty for you.‭”‬ I say letting her go.‭ ‬I turned making my way out only to pull the door to but still a bit open so I could bring Batty back

I made my way back seeing Sasha and Lucy‭’‬s throats slashed and bullet wounds in their chest.‭ ‬My sisters that I cared for where done the same as everyone else.‭ ‬I notice Lisa and Shelby are the same.‭ ‬I cry remembering growing up and when I thought Sasha and Lucy were‭ ‬my real sisters to find out years laters is was Lisa and Shelby.‭ ‬The adoption when Sasha and Lucy became my sisters again.‭ ‬It hurts that I wasn’t here to protect them.‭ ‬I notice my dearest Megan was face down in a puddle of blood.‭ ‬I pick her up to kiss my other love one final time to place her back just as I had found her.‭ ‬Again I held back my tears getting over to Batman.‭ ‬I squatted down to gently pick him up to hear a whimper.

‭“‬ I know boy your hurt,‭ ‬but I need you in the same room with Karen.‭ ‬I promise to‭ ‬be gentle picking you up ok‭?”‬ I say seeing his sadness but know he is hurt more emotionally than physically.

I could only imagine how he felt seeing the family he protected all this time all laying dead on the floor.‭ ‬I stood trying to hold him comfortably in my arms.‭ ‬Making it back to the bedroom my oldest daughters once slept in.‭ ‬I pushed the door open to hear‭ ‬water running.‭ ‬I went over to the bed to only place a brave soul upon it.‭ ‬He let out another whimper in the process.‭ ‬I sat for a moment to show him I cared for him.

‭“‬ Shhh I know boy,‭ ‬I know just relax here.‭ ‬You and Karen are safe now.‭ ‬Just keep a eye out for me ok.‭ ‬If you hear anything bark as loud as you can.‭”‬ I say to see his eyes show understanding

For as long I have known him he still amazes me.‭ ‬I got up from the bed to only go to the bathroom door.‭ ‬Karen left it open a bit which I was glad so I could make sure she was ok.

‭“‬ Karen I will be back but you stay in this bedroom ok.‭”‬ I say with a heavy heart hearing her cry

‭“‬ Ok.‭”‬ She says while I shake my head trying to wonder why of all days this little girl had to cry

I made my way out of the room to return to Savannah‭’‬s body.‭ ‬I kneeled down to pick my gun up putting it back in it‭’‬s holster.‭ ‬I stayed there for a moment to look in her ghostly eyes that were not blue any longer.‭ ‬I reached down to close them.

‭“‬ I will always love you my dearest heart.‭”‬ I proclaimed only to stand up feeling lost as she was always the light in my heart along with Megan

I looked around at the bodies Ellie,‭ ‬Verna,‭ ‬Kiko,‭ ‬and Megan were a few steps from Savannah.‭ ‬My guess shielding her,‭ ‬but at a cost that ended horribly.‭ ‬Gray was slumped in a chair with his head lowered.‭ ‬Gina,‭ ‬Tracey,‭ ‬and Ron looked like they were trying to save Lindsey and Serena,‭ ‬but didn‭’‬t accomplish that situation.‭ ‬Both girls were just limp in Gina and Tracey‭’‬s arms.‭ ‬Simone had Dakota while Vanessa had Lil Greg.‭ ‬Lil Heath was just steps away and I see he took a couple rounds to the back.‭ ‬It looked like they tried to help the boys get away towards the kitchen I presumed,‭ ‬but didn‭’‬t get far.‭ ‬I go to kiss the heads of my two youngest daughters.‭ ‬I know Vanessa wasn’t‭ ‬mine but I helped raise her like Jessie and Renee.‭ ‬There was blood every where.‭ ‬I see Justin,‭ ‬Nicky,‭ ‬and Damon slumped into chairs or against a wall.‭ ‬They didn’t even get a chance to fight back.‭ ‬I notice Mike,‭ ‬Ricky and Nate are shot quite a few times and‭ ‬guess Jaime thought they’d just quite after being shot once or twice.‭ ‬I decided to make my way up the stairs to see if just maybe anyone else survived,‭ ‬but a part of me knew that no one did.‭ ‬Once upstairs I made my way to the kids room.‭ ‬I stopped at the door to see two words‭ ‬‘ Bad kids‭’‬ written in blood.‭ ‬I grabbed the door knob holding my breath with that hopeful feeling.‭ ‬I turned the knob opening the door.‭ ‬I stepped in to see Jack and Adam face down on the floor.‭ ‬I looked over at the bed to see Sierra,‭ ‬Mandy,‭ ‬and Michelle all in bed as if protecting their kids,‭ ‬nephews,‭ ‬and nieces.‭ ‬I felt my anger turn to something that I did not want to come out.‭ ‬I went to my daughters to only place a kiss on their foreheads.‭ ‬I kiss Michelle since she would be my youngest‭ ‬sister by marriage but also she felt like a daughter.‭ ‬I shed a tear while I look at the evil actions of a man I promise to kill one day.

‭“‬ I am so sorry I was not here to protect you all.‭”‬ I told them while seeing all the babies laying in blood

I felt sick‭ ‬as I turned and threw up on the floor.‭ ‬I was strong,‭ ‬but seeing‭ ‬9‭ ‬defenseless babies laying in a blood soaked bed was too much.‭ ‬I made my way to the closet to get Karen some clothes.‭ ‬I really didn‭’‬t know what to grab so I grabbed a sundress that Savannah‭ ‬and Megan got for her.‭ ‬I went to the dresser and grabbed a pair of panties for her.‭ ‬With both in hand I made my way out of the room.‭ ‬I stopped to grasp what I was going to do.‭ ‬I know I needed to call the police,‭ ‬but also I needed to get a idea of what happened.‭ ‬There was so many questions unanswered.‭ ‬I turned to look at a bedroom door I was very afraid to look in.‭ ‬With a very broken heart I made my way to the room that was Heath‭’‬s and the rest of the family.‭ ‬I walked in and suddenly without notice dropped to my knees.‭ ‬The scene was so graphic that I threw up again.‭ ‬To the left in a chair was Heath tied up with duct tape over his mouth.‭ ‬His head was supported back as if he was made to watch.‭ ‬On either side of him was E.P.‭ ‬and Jax laying dead on the floor.‭ ‬To‭ ‬the right in another chair was Chris not just tied up but with Selena in his lap.‭ ‬They both were shot in the head,‭ ‬but for some reason something felt off about the two.‭ ‬I got back to my feet to make my way to Heath.‭ ‬His eyes were wide open with a look of fear and anger mixed.‭ ‬His chest was craved up with words that were untrue.‭ ‬I turned to look at the women that I loved as sisters and mothers.‭ ‬All stripped of clothing and their humanity.‭ ‬Jasmine‭’‬s legs were spread with a broom handle up inside her and I saw‭ ‬blood knowing she died because of it.‭ ‬Hannah and Diamond were taped together but someone had viciously caved their heads in together.‭ ‬I notice Tiffany had her eyes removed before almost being beheaded.‭ ‬I felt tears while each one that had a baby in them were the same with something up inside that should of never been there.‭ ‬Maggie was slashed up and down with her breast hanging on barely.‭ ‬What really made me start to feel such rage was my dearest mother‭’‬s face was blown off.‭ ‬There was no way to recognize her except for the tattoo of dad‭’‬s name on her breast.‭ ‬What was the most horrible in that room was Renee.‭ ‬Her face showed so much hurt,‭ ‬fear,‭ ‬and hate.‭ ‬In her right hand was what looked like a fetus.‭ ‬I followed the cord that was going down to see it come out of her stomach.‭ ‬I couldn‭’‬t believe what I was seeing.‭ ‬Her unborn child was actually pulled out of her and placed in her hand.‭ ‬I noticed something in her other hand.‭ ‬I made my way around to only take it out of her hand.‭ ‬It was a letter of some sort.‭ ‬I opened it to only read it.

‭“‬ Nick if your reading this then you have seen what I did for you and me.‭ ‬You don‭’‬t have to worry about them making life hard for you now.‭ ‬You don‭’‬t have to worry about the grandbabies turning into their parents with the incest and intermixing.‭ ‬Well got to go have a nice day….J‭”‬ Reading his words fueled my rage.‭ ‬I look back to notice everyone of the girls had words carved into them of SLUT,‭ ‬WHORE,‭ ‬CUNT,‭ ‬CUM DUMPSTER.

He took my life from me and that was my family.‭ ‬I crumbled the letter letting it fall.‭ ‬I looked around at those that were my family.‭ ‬I thought of Karen at that moment.‭ ‬I had to gather up what would be the most important thing to remember them all by meaning her parents.‭ ‬I took all the wedding and promise rings that Heath gave to them.‭ ‬When I got to Tiffany I could see she was holding something.‭ ‬I opened her hand and there was a picture of her and Karen.‭ ‬I placed it in the pocket of my vest to give to Karen later.‭ ‬I placed all the rings in my back left jean pocket because‭ ‬I wanted to give them to Karen one day soon.‭ ‬I took all the necklaces because once again I know they would mean more to Karen.‭ ‬I had to focus and not break because her and Batty needed me to be strong,‭ ‬but one thing was for sure Jaime was going to get his‭ ‬if I ever saw that punk again.‭ ‬I turned to Heath taking the few steps to him.‭ ‬I took his wedding ring and necklace tucking them safe in with the other rings before I went to one knee looking up at his face.

‭“‬ I swear little brother I will get vengeance for what has happened to our family.‭ ‬I swear on all I am that I will make him pay.‭ ‬I vow to you and those that were Karen‭’‬s mothers I will keep her safe.‭ ‬I will never forget you little brother because you were right about us being a family.‭”‬ I say with tears‭ ‬until I hear Karen yell for me

I quickly stood wiping my eyes before making my way back down to her.‭ ‬I took the rings that Eillie,‭ ‬Verna,‭ ‬and Kiko had on that were the same as the others Heath took into his heart.I also notice Selina has one and chuckle because Heath had added one more.‭ ‬I made my way to the bedroom to see Karen standing in a towel just a few steps inside.‭ ‬I dropped the clothes to only pick her up in my arms holding her tight.‭ ‬She held onto me.

‭“‬ Daddy and mommy are dead aren‭’‬t they‭?”‬ She asks while I sadly nodded

‭“‬ Yes baby girl I am so sorry I could not have gotten here sooner.‭”‬ I say feeling two hands on my face making me remember the time I had killed Gail and Sierra saving me from my own pain

‭“‬ It‭’‬s not your fault grampy.‭ ‬He would of killed you too.‭ ‬Don‭’‬t leave me grampy Nick.‭”‬ Karen says with tears as I hold her tight

‭“‬ Never honey because we only have each other now.‭ ‬Why don‭’‬t you change while I make a call.‭”‬ I say letting her down and she picks up her clothes I had gotten her

‭“‬ Who are you going to call grampie‭?”‬ She asks while I turn my back to her

‭“‬ The police sweetheart.‭”‬ I say while Karen hugs my leg

I look down to see she is dressed and a graze across her forehead.

‭“‬ Oh sweetheart your head.‭ ‬Does it hurt baby girl‭?”‬ I ask to get‭ ‬a nod

‭“‬ Yeah,‭ ‬but not as much as my heart grampie.‭”‬ She says while I nod in agreeing

I hear,‭”‬911‭ ‬what is the matter of your call‭?” ‬the voice says while I respond.‭ ‬I tell the person that my family is dead and I need the sheriff here asap.‭ ‬The dispatcher keeps me on the line while sending officers to the house.‭ ‬I tell her I need a paramedic since the only survivor needed some tending to.‭ ‬After a bit I hear sirens.‭ ‬I hang up to wait for them to pull up.‭ ‬I go over to pick Karen up having her place her head on‭ ‬my chest and promising me that she will not look.‭ ‬I walk out of the room past all the bodies to the front door.‭ ‬I step out seeing the sheriff and his deputies.‭ ‬They all surround Karen and I guns drawn.‭ ‬He walks up to me asking what have I done.‭ ‬Karen speaks up for me.

‭“‬ YOU LEAVE MY GRAMPY ALONE‭!
