It’s evident in the way he caters to her, the way he still hovers like a mother hen over her and their children. And since he was the one married the longest out of all of us I guess it’s only fair that we all look at his situation for pointers. Fuck if I’ma let Dana Sue run me the way Kat runs him though.
These women think they’re slick as shit. They do that shit so smoothly you wouldn’t catch it if you weren’t looking, which is another reason why I think Colt and all the others are onto their shit. Now I just look at my woman side eyed when she starts her shit. Fat lotta good it does me.
Funny but now that I look back on it she’s been using the kid to do that shit a lot lately too. I haven’t yelled at her since I heard those words ‘I’m pregnant’ but I’ve bitten the fucking hell outta my tongue and my eyes are about to get stuck in the back of my head as much as I roll them at her fuckery. All behind her back of course, since her ornery ass takes umbrage at every damn thing.
I guess shit didn’t get real until we all spent more and more time with each other and I got to see the mechanics at work in their individual relationships, and I have to say, if these fuckers knew what they looked like they’d stop.
All it takes is one pouty lip or one of those determined looks that say ‘fine, I’ll just do the shit myself’ and the men cave and give into whatever it is their hardheaded ass woman is after.
The day I let Dana Sue lead me around by my damn nose is the day I hang it all up. “But why is she screaming like that though? Didn’t they give her the pain shit? I know I told her not to try that natural childbirth shit.” Fucking Kat again!
“Law, she’s supposed to scream, she’s pushing a whole human being out of her body. You hit your thumb with a hammer the other day and screamed like a bitch for two minutes straight.”
“Fuck you Kyle that shit hurt.” You and the rest of these disrespectful assholes who’re snickering at that shit.
He did have a point though, I need to get myself together, can’t come apart at the seams now. She’s going to need me, she and him or her, please fuck don’t let it be a her! If Dana Sue brings in a ringer my life is well and truly fucked. I can barely keep up with one of them.
Life can’t be that fucking cruel to give me a daughter. Colt has been de-balled, castrated, neutered, all the above in a house full of females. Poor sap he doesn’t even know it, that it’s not just his wife but his daughters that have taken over his fucking life.
I remember the days when we talked bikes and hunting down assholes in our backyards to keep those shits clean and idiot free. Now all we talk about is our women, his kids, who’s having the next one and where we need to be for whose labor. I spent years in the military for this shit.

“Colton come on we’ve got to go, get a move on.”
“I thought that was next week!” She had me halfway out the door but I was still dragging ass.
“I’m very sorry oh mighty one, that Dana Sue and her baby decided to offset your schedule; had something more pressing to take care of did you?” The older she gets the more she loses her damn mind.
“You sure the kids are going to be okay?” She rolled her eyes at me and opened the door, like she was going to leave me if I didn’t get the lead out. “They’re fine, they have all their grandparents to look out for them; now come on it’s not like this is the first time we’re doing this.”
She had a point; and this is the reason I don’t like this friend shit, when the fuck did I become ‘that guy’? Kat and her shit. I’ve been in and out of Georgia more in the last year that I have in all my life put together. Each time a kid dropped she had to be there. Her ass should’ve taken midwife classes. Then again, nine kids, so.
“I don’t see why I need to be there.” That look she gave me had my balls retreating. I’m always amazed at how the tables have turned in our relationship. Oh, I still get my way, when it counts, with the big stuff. But everything else she and her kids have me beat and she knows it. Fucking woman!
I slammed the door behind me for emphasis but whereas before she’d have walked back to me and tried sweetening me up, her ass hopped in the truck and glared out the window at me.
