Chapter 16

We arrived to my mom's house and I was the first to grab Avery and walked into the house. Sebastian was holding my waist to ensure I didn't trip with my clumsy ass as we walked up the long driveway with our gifts in hand. Well, Sebastian was carrying the gifts since I was carrying the baby. 

He opened the door for me and we walked in. "Hey mom." I greeted as I walked into the kitchen. I pressed a kiss to her cheek and hugged her and my dad. "Happy 40 you guys." I smiled at them and they grinned. 

"You are so cute." My mom pinched my cheeks and I giggled. I walked into the living room to see my brother's here with their wives and kids. 

"Hi!" I was extremely happy for no reason. Well I did have one and his name is Harry Styles but I would be damned if I let them know that. 

"Hey Gracie. You feeling alright?" Nick asked, pressing a kiss to my head and hugged me. "Of course. I'm just happy right now, business is doing extremely well for me." I partially lied because my businesses are doing amazing right now and I love numbers and money so I'm really good at making money. 

"That's great." Josh chuckled greeting me and I greeted everyone before sitting on the couch and took Avery out her car seat. 

"She's full of shit. She has a boyfriend." Sebastian came in and sat next to me with a mouth full of food. "What?!" Nick sat up and eyed me. "Sebastian!" I smacked him and he chuckled. "Why isn't he here? I want to meet him." Josh and Nick said at the same time and I groaned. 

"It's not that serious. He's not my boyfriend." I glared at Sebastian who was smirking at me. 

"I have feelings for him but with our careers we just don't have time to start a relationship at the moment. I don't bring people home to meet my family unless it's serious, you guys know that." I glared at Sebastian for a second then moved to where Nick was. 

"What's his name?" Derek challenged and I bit my lip. "Harry." "Harry Styles? I swear to god Leslie I will fucking slit your goddamn throat if you're sleeping with the enemy." Nick closed his eyes as he spoke and curled his fists at the image of me and Harry together. 

Sebastian knew how bad he fucked up by his threat and gave me a guilty look. "No, not Styles. His last name is Sanchez." I lied and he opened his eyes, looking at me for a second. "Good." "Tell us about him." Alex said and Danny held a smirk. 

"He's really nice. Well to me he's nice but he's kind of an asshole to his friends. He spoils me which is great. Especially when I want midnight ice cream." "So he pays for everything?" Danny asked and I nodded. "When I'm with him, yes. He doesn't even let me drive when I'm with him. Only today! I did it because I stole the keys from him and didn't want to get off the driver's seat. I was happy." 

"He sounds cute." Marcia said with a giggle. "He isn't even cute when he tries to argue with me. I win every single time no matter who I'm arguing with and he just keeps on trying to win. Like no baby, chill out and let me keep my crown." "What do you guys even argue about?" Teresa asked and I sighed. 

"Well today we argued at the fact he needs to swallow his pride and accept my gifts. Yesterday was about me driving and we had an argument a few days ago about Michael. It's just like small stuff but I usually win because he feels bad for making me mad. Or sometimes he'll just argue with me to argue with me because it's his favorite hobby." 

"He seems sweet." Alyssa commented and I nodded. "Very. Speak of the devil." I held my phone that flashed with Harry's name. 

"Hello?" "Baby. We have a little problem." 

"What?" "Well that shipment of the coke is too much, I have no where to put it so I'm literally sending it back." "No. Don't. I'll send you an address and you can just leave it there so when you need it." "No, I have a stash house a few hours out of town and I'll end up putting it there but I'm just saying baby it's alot." 

"I understand that. You needed it and I just gave it to you. I prefer you to keep it at mine. Please? I can't explain why right now but I'll send my friend over to take it then." "No, I'm already driving to mine." 

"Baby, don't be difficult please. I just need you to listen to me for once in your life." I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. "You need to trust me. I know what I'm doing." "If you knew what you were doing you wouldn't be calling me now would you?" 

"Okay fine. I won't call you anymore." "Don't you dare fucking start with this shit Harry. Do what ever the hell you want then." I hung up and groaned. 

"What?" Maria asked and I opened my eyes. "Arguing at it's finest." He kept calling me but I just shut my phone down.

 "He's going to be pissed." Sebastian said and I looked at him. "Not my problem." "It is your problem." "No, it's not. I'm not going to argue with him, not today. It's mom's special day and I'm not going to ruin it over a man who loves to just press my buttons." I bit my lip and gave Avery to him. 

"I'll be right back." I said jogging into the kitchen. "Mom? Do you need anything?" I asked and she looked stress. 

"I forgot to pick up your brothers from Henry's house." She said and I chuckled. "I'll go. Don't stress mom, I'll even pick up a bottle of your wine from the store." "You're so amazing. I love you." She hugged me and I nodded. 

I got my keys to the old car I had here. It was my pride and joy. It was my Charger but it was the absolute first and only car I built with my dad. We did the entire engine together and the paint job so it was my favorite. 

I got in and began driving to pick up my little brother's from a family friend's house. I arrived to the house and smiled as my little brothers Jonathan and Nathan sprinted over to me and hugged me.

"Sister!" "Hey buddies. How are you guys?" I asked and they just grinned up at me. "We missed you." "Well I missed you too. Get in the car." I pulled away and hugged my 18 year old brother Junior who smiled at me.

 "Hey sis." "Hey boo." He chuckled and got in. "Thank you Henry." I hugged him and drove to the store. 

"Mom needs wine for tonight. So we're just going to stop at the store for it and a few other things." They nodded and we got out the car as we arrived. 

I gave the cart to Jonny who pushed Nate in the cart. I was walking around the store with them for a few minutes before I felt the familiar glare of Harry. I ignored it and just held onto my brother's arm as we walked. 

"Sister, I want cookies." Nate whined and I rolled my eyes. "Don't you always?" I followed them into the snack aisle to see Zayn and Liam here. 

"Hey. What are you doing here?" Louis came out of no where with Niall carrying a shit load of food. 

"It's my mom's anniversary and she asked me to pick up a few things. What about you guys?" I hugged them all and let the boys grab whatever they wanted. "Stash house is over here somewhere." "Who's this?" Louis asked, looking at Junior. 

"Oh, this is my brother Junior. Junior this is Louis, Liam, Zayn and Niall. Harry is somewhere around here I assume." I introduced and my brother shook their hands. 

"Sister." Jonathan came over and hugged my waist. "What?" I looked down at him and he was in tears. "Brother smashed my finger in the cart and it hurts." He choked on his sobs and I sighed. 

"Nathan. Really?" I leaned to the side to give Nate a dirty stare. "I didn't mean to!" Guilt laced over his tone and I rolled my eyes. Junior picked Jonny up and carried him. 

"It was nice seeing you guys but I have to go." I said and they nodded. I walked over to Nathan who began crying out of guilt. "I'm sorry." "It's okay but we know better than to play at the store." I picked him up and Junior pushed the cart with one hand. 

"Cry babies." He commented and I bursted into fits of laughter and smacked his arm. "He nice." "I am. I'm just being truthful." He said and I just laughed a little harder. 

"You're such and idiot. Boys why don't you guys go pick out a board game so we can play a little later? I'll be getting mom her wines." I said putting Nate down and crouched infront of him. "Okay. Is June going?" Jonny asked through sniffles. "Yes. Please please please don't fight. Okay?" I looked at both of them as they looked at eachother. 

"Do I make myself clear?" I asked them and they nodded. "Yes." "Perfect. Go." I said and stood up. "Take this." I pointed to the cart and jogged down to the wine section of the store. 

"You can't even run in heels!" Junior said and I blushed. "They're boots!" I flipped him off and he laughed at me. I got to the section and began looking around. 

"Fuck." I cursed not seeing the bottle as I passed through the first aisle. I turned to look again and bumped into something hard. "Jesus Harry you scared the absolute shit out of me." I sighed heavily, not even having to look up to see him looking down at me. 

"Sorry." He mumbled and placed his hands on my waist. "Baby I don't have time right now. I have two children about to rip each other to pieces with an idiot who just doesn't know how to say no." I moved passed him and looked for the bottles.

I went to the other aisle and continued to look. "What are you looking for?" "Stella Rosa. It's mine and my mom's favorite wine and-" I was cut off by Nathan yelling my name and sprinting down the aisle. 

"Sister!"

I caught him and picked him up, setting him on my hip. "Jonny, what the hell?" I asked as he came down the aisle with a foam sword. "He broke my finger!" "Enough, Jesus boys. It was an accident. Where's Junior?" I looked up to see my brother sprinting down the aisle with the cart. 

"Before you get mad, it was not my fault. They ran away from me." "You're their brother! You're supposed to keep track of them." I took the sword from Jonny and tossed it in the cart. "Enough. Do I make myself clear? No more fighting with your brothers. You're family! You're supposed to not fight." "You fight with Junior." Jonny sassed and I sighed. 

"That's because we're older now. When do you see us hitting eachother? Or chasing eachother with swords through a store? Please Jonny, you're almost 11 years old. Your brother's only 9 baby just please get along or I'm going to beat both your asses." "You can't do that." "Wanna bet?" I asked and he shut up, going to Junior and hugged him. 

"Alright, you. What did you do to him?" I asked Nathan who was hiding in my neck. "He told me he was going to kill me with the sword and started chasing me." Nathan sobbed and I sighed.  

"You guys are in trouble when mom finds out." "No, please. Don't tell mom." Jonny begged and I rolled my eyes. "You don't threaten family Jonny. Even if it's a joke or whatever." I turned to see Harry still here. 

"And you. I'm still mad at you." I pointed a finger up at him and walked through the lanes to find the wines. I finally found them and put like 15 in the cart. 

"Why do we even need so many?" Junior asked. 

"Are you going to drink?" I asked and he looked at me crazily. "Yeah." "Okay well in case you forget we have a shit load of people in our family. 5 older brothers with their wives. 10 total. Plus 2 sisters with husbands and Me and Seb? You and mom? Dad? That's like 16." "Seb doesn't drink though." "Sebastian drinks like it's water fool." "I've never seen him drink." "Clearly you don't know him. He drinks alot. Trust me." "I do. I mean you've known the guy since you were in the womb." He shrugged and I grabbed a bottle of different liquors and a pack of beer. 

"Are you done? You alcoholic." Junior said and I narrowed my eyes. "Don't start. I'll kick your ass." "We don't threaten family." He said and I smacked him. "I'm your older sister, I can threaten to cut your balls off for all I care." I pointed a finger at him and heard Niall burst into fits of laughter. 

I set Nate down and sighed. "You know Michael's coming tonight right?" Junior asked and I looked at him. "Why?" "Mom invited him and Anthony. They are part of the family too, you know? You've spent 22 years knowing eachother and mom just thinks that it's okay. Don't worry, Martin and Maricela gave him the talk. Plus it's not like you're seeing anyone." 

"Actually. I'm seeing him at the current moment and he doesn't like Michael." I pointed to Harry who was glaring at me. "What? You never told mom this!" "I don't have to tell mom who I'm seeing. She needs to respect that I don't want to start a relationship with anyone." 

"Well. This is going to be a fun night." Junior smirked and I sighed and looked up at Harry. 

"Don't start." I warned him and he glared at me. "I'll go with you." "No. You don't want to do that right now. My family doesn't do well with you." "What do you mean?" "You're Harry Styles. You're all over the news and a gang leader baby. Just give me time, I'll fix it and be at home later. Here." I took my house keys and gave him it. 

"I know you're going over anyways so." I shrugged and pressed a kiss to his lips. "I'll see you later. I have to get home or my mom will have a heart attack."

 "Be safe." "Always." He pressed another kiss to my lips and I went to go pay, well Harry payed regardless of what I said.
