Divorced, But Not Broken
Divorced, but Not broken Chapter 216

"I can't believe you left the boys alone in the car Jonah!" ! was going to start to scold him over being so stupid seeing someone that made me stop, leaning against the car door; it wasn't Tom since he was with Sophia down at Bucks over Christmas to Mary's tears. "Phillip!" I was going faster, happier to see him when he was reached over, having Jamie's hand in his like he knew that he wanted to be close; that man was a f*****g genius, and don't tell me otherwise!

"Pretty, hey! Look at you!" He was smiling already when I hugged him hard, not caring that I knew Jonah would get pissed. Kira was coming after me, sick of holding hands, already standing by the car's front seat, making sure no one could enter except her. "Phil! Holy s**t, it's good to see you!" I was so glad to see him when I kissed his cheek, quickly making him chuckle, knowing that he would not be popular with the guy behind me. He probably was thinking about how hard he would beat up Phillip, still grinning like the charming devil he was.

"Same... oh, and I see you have more kids since I last saw you, still as beautiful as ever..." he made another chuckle when Jonah had his hand on my shoulder, pulling me back gently like he couldn't take it anymore, being over the top jealous. He had good reasons. Phillip looked great, was brilliant, more intelligent than his brothers, and wasn't afraid of Jonah,

"Oh, Joni... still head over heels, are you? I don't blame you, seeing that Pretty could do better than you..." Phillip smirked more when Jonah was staring at him with pure darkness, like he hated being called that, at least by the man that seemed to see him as this annoying kid, a younger brother he could piss off just because he thought it was funny

"Don't f*****g call me that!" Jonah was pulling me back more like he was afraid that Phillip would try to sway me over, standing by our car and giving me a bright smile that made me think of Mary.

"Oh, why not? It's your name, isn't it, Joni?" Phillip chuckled when Kira started to snicker too, and I sighed and couldn't stop the slight smile on my lips; that name was cute on a boy and not the grown tall guy that wanted to make mincemeat out of his cousin giving him s**t.

"Joni..." Kira was saying it a couple of times to Jonah's groan, like he really didn't want to hear it from her, still having his arm around me, with his hand placed on my baby bump, making me smirk more. He really feared Phil, didn't he?

"Kira, don't you say that! I am your Da, and that is the only thing I want to hear from you! Is that understood!?" Jonah was almost growling it when I started to scowl. He didn't have to go hardcore on her because she was having fun!

"Jonah!" I was barking at him for being rude when Kira looked like she didn't care. Oh, that was just great; now this would be a thing, she would call him Joni, and he would go crazy over it!

"What!? I don't want to hear my kid call me Joni! that is not my name, and you f*****g know it, Phil!" Jonah let me go when I struggled being pissed at him for screaming at Kira; that was so unnecessary!

"Take it easy... I was just messing with you... s**t, just as uptight as ever... can't believe Ma send me to see your ugly face..." Phil made another smirk when he was winking at Kira, and she instantly seemed to like him, making me feel the sting of sadness. Jonah was the only person in the world she didn't like almost right away.

Jonah said nothing. He had seemed so happy when he was dressing the boys, and now he was down again. he wasn't stupid, so he probably saw it too, the tiny spark in Kira's eyes when she did like someone. He never got that since he moved in with us and took over Buck's spot in her

eyes.

"Okay... Let's just get to your parent's place and... Kira, let me help you get into the car..." I was on my way when Jonah stopped me. He didn't want me to do that, even if Kira showed that she would rather have me than him. that part he didn't care about; he still was too worried about something happening to me being pregnant.

"Ah, Phil... You are such a tease..." I made a snort when Jonah was helping Kira inside, getting her seatbelt on and having his jaw clenched, making me feel bad for laughing at him. He was trying so hard. It wasn't easy with Kira and the twins, and soon we would have another baby. He went from living a fancy life with no kids to having, this messy one with me.

"Hey... Andrea, please don't look so sad; he did this. Not you." I made a surprised face hearing Phillip's grave voice, who had lost his playfulness from the brown eyes he had the same as his brothers; that wasn't what I had expected to hear standing on the parking and trying not to freeze to death.

"I can see it, you feel sorry for him, but he made this choice all on his own, he could have told you to stay, get rid of Shailene, and marry you instead, but he didn't." I couldn't really believe what I was hearing. Nobody had said that to me, that this was Jonah's fault, it was almost hard to wrap my head around that it even could be true, like it was forbidden to even think about.

"He couldn't..." Seeing that Jonah was finished with Kira, I didn't want to discuss it further, only to have him check over the boys again, making me feel better. He did care, and that was something, no matter what.

"Bullshit, why couldn't he?? What is so different from now since you had your daughter? Fiona hasn't changed; things haven't changed, Andrea! you tell yourself what you want, but that brat over there you are dating, he is the only reason you had to be alone for all those years... Phil wasn't even scared when Jonah probably heard the last part of his speech, gritting his teeth just thinking about how he would make sure Phillip felt pain when the kids weren't around.

"Well, since you have all the [*****g answers, Phillip, why don't you just tell me to my face that I'm a f*****g coward that couldn't stand up against Ma?" I hated that Jonah sounded so calm; it wasn't the good kind, it was the dark one that he had before s**t started to break, and he went psycho on everything. The last time he had talked like that to Phillip, he had made him bleed, and I didn't want more violence before my kids!

"Fine. you are a f*****g coward that couldn't stand up to your Ma, isn't that right, Joni?!" Phil was leaning forward mockingly, looking like he wasn't backing down; to my horror, what the f**k was happening!? It was Christmas, and we were supposed to have dinner and get along!

"f**k you!" Jonah made a slight shove at the guy that was bigger than him when I made a shriek, not that Phillip got hurt more than his pride, being pushed back in the slippery snow, but I sure as hell didn't want Kira to see more of people being violent when she had been through so much already!

"Stop it!" I was screaming it when Philip pushed back harder, and Jonah lost balance, almost being shoved into me when I was getting sick of this s**t. They both acted like frig animals when they were supposed to be family!? "Oh crap! Are you okay!? I'm sorry, pretty!" Phillip was ignoring Jonah on the snowy ground when he took a step towards me, wanting to see if I got hurt when I was holding my bump, scared of what the f**k they were doing.

Jonah looked at me for one second before taking off, making everything unreal. Jonah attacked Phillip, body slamming him down, making the snow fly all over me and the car. Kira was staring at them like she wasn't even scared, and now she was watching like this was the most fun she had ever had!

"I'm going f*****g kill you! *****g cocksucker!" To my surprise, Jonah was screaming it when Phillip blocked the punch, and Jonah's too when he got hit in the face before they both went ballistic, and I couldn't stop them! Nobody could! People were starting to stare at us, calling the f*****g cops, and I couldn't do s**t!

"Jonah, stop!" I was screaming it when he didn't care, just had his dark eyes locked on Phil, that was panting hard from protecting himself, both men rolling around on the ground like they were kids and trying to hurt each other, making me want to start screaming even more, why did Jonah have to be like this!? I thought he was f*****g more mature than starting at a fight in the middle of the f*****g street with my kids watching!

I was still not sure what the f**k I could do. I mean, they were so much bigger, and I was pregnant. Right now, neither of them was listening to me screaming at them to stop this stupid fight that only happened because Jonah was f*****g jealous!

"Oh god..." I was pleading when the blue lights and sirens were coming up in the distance, and I felt sick seeing none of them even want to stop. Didn't they get f*****g tired of this, or what!?

"Jonah, *****g cops! Are you going to get arrested on Christmas eve!?" I was sick when he was just about to take another punch to the face from Phillip, blocking it, when his eyes snapped to the distance, knowing that I was right, and here he was acting like a rabid dog!

"f**k! Get inside the f*****g car!" I was already on my way when Phillip got up, smirking, wiping his mouth from the blood when our eyes met, making me roll mine. Look at him not being any better! What the f**k was this, kindergarten!?

"That was so cool!" Kira was cheering in the back of the car when Jonah was driving away; to my horror and his smirk, seeing the small girl almost looking like she finally had found something to have with her the guy she came from. He looked just as happy, goddammit!

"That was kind of cool, wasn't it?! You don't let people push you, okay, Kira? You get them right fig back!" Jonah looked at her, beaming for a few seconds, looking prouder, that asshole! Kira was nodding like she had been waiting for someone to finally tell her that it was okay to act bad. It wasn't! I didn't even know how the table had turned so fast!? Kira was staring at Jonah with awe after seeing him beat the crap out of Phillip, even if he was bleeding from his eyebrow and his knuckles were torn on the steering wheel. Oh god! "No! That is not what we do!" I was panting the slightest, looking at the boys that, thank God, didn't understand what just happened! not like the smirking little girl in the front seat that was exchanging eye contact with Jonah, that was looking like he finally had a breakthrough with his daughter, it just wasn't the right one!

"Don't listen to your Ma. She doesn't let people push her either... I did an offended gasp hearing that. What the f**k did he mean by that!? I didn't go around trying to beat up someone that was my family!?

"Shut up!" Jonah chuckled, hearing my sneer back when Kira looked like she was fine seeing two men trying to beat the s**t out of each other, and it was all my fault... the things she had been through... Maybe Buck was right about her needing to be guided firmer than I did.... she looked at Jonah and giggled back when he was grinning more at her like they had a secret I wasn't allowed in on.

"Let's just go to the Browns, and then we will talk about this, and all of you will hear it!" I was snapping harder at Jonah with my teeth clamping down, making sure that he got it, that I was most pissed at him for acting like he was a farting kid himself! "Sure...whatever you say baby.." Jonah made another smirk, still looking like he was high on the f*****g adrenaline from having his fists at Phillip's face. I sighed, f*****g kid.
