Growing Up

                                    

                                          
"Suspened! Are you fuckign kidding me Francesca! Suspsended! What in the hell did Mama Lion and I tell you! Huh! Or did you have your fucking ears closed! Did you!?"
                          
"Stef, baby." Lena said as the blonde was ready to kill her daughter. Kill her big time for she had gotten suspended for a week from school for beating up Darlene as well as a few other people. Was Stef angry? Beyond belief for they talked about this and clearly Frankie wasn't listening and had her own plan.
                          
"I can't just let them sit there and say stuff! I can't You wouldn't'!"
                          
"I told you I am working on that and have been working on how to handle things better Frankie! All of us are!"
                          
"So why you are working on it I'm suppose to just go tell a teacher what these stupid kids are saying about you and my family. I'm protecting myself and baby Stef and Noah and you and Mama Lion. That's what I'm...
                          
"Watch your fucking tone! Watch it!!! You don't get to question me and you just can't stay out of goddamn trouble can you! Is this what you want!! Just getting in trouble all the fuckign time!!"
                          
"Ok. Ok let's try to calm down ok. Both of you. Yelling, and screaming is not going to help. And Frankie watch your tone."
                          
"Oh like I care what you say or want. The one who leaves." Frankie said freshly as Stef nearly lunged at her and Lena stood in front of her holding her back. 
                          
"Stef no. No." Lena soothed holding her wife as Frankie looked startled and worried.
                          
"Get in your fucking room before I take you and fling you across this fucking room! You ever talk to Mama Lion like that again and you won't see tomorrow. You won't ever see another fucking thing in life! Now get out!!"
                          
Walking off terrified Frankie did as she was told as Lena continued to hold on to her wife. She was well aware the girl needed to be disciplined but she also knew her wife was two seconds away from killing her.

                          
"That girls ass is mine. I'm going to fucking kill her for talking to you like that."
                          
"Look babe I know it. Ok I know it but I want you to calm down. Ok? I need you to calm down."
                          
"This is not what I want for her Lena. I get she was trying to protect her siblings and us and herself.  I get it and she's just like me. The older she gets the more I see it and it's not something I can beat out of her. Jude yeah had his moments but he didn't' worry me as much as she is. I'm scared of what she will become." Letting out a sigh STef took a seat on the couch running her fingers through her wavy hair as Lena sat beside her grabbing her hand.
                          
"Baby just because she is like you in the best of ways doesn't mean she's going to end up in jail. It doesn't mean she's' going to be a criminal. It just means she needs certain guidance from us and from you. We can't just simply tell her no fighting because she protects. Fearlessly. We can't change who she is we just have to show her more of what is acceptable, what isn't and how to make different choices. Tell her why it's hard and why we both had to change when we got out. Or show her what it leads to."
                          
"She is stubborn as all fuck. I swear once she turned 12 it was like all fucking hell broke loose. 11 sweet as pie. 12 a fucking nightmare. And that mouth of hers."
                          
"Hormones don't help either and you know what's coming."
                          
"Yeah don't even say it. It's like she's purposely defiant. She knows not to talk to you like that. Fuck does she know."
                          
"Of course. They all do baby. But it doesn't mean they won't especially if they are angry. Look I'm going to take her out this week."
                          
"Why? She doesn't' deserve shit."
