Talon's Heart by Jordan Silver

lips out, I could almost see the steam coming out of her ears. Whatever, she'd fuck around and get that fucktard killed.
     

"You don't get it do you, I don't want him to even exist for you anymore."
    "Talon you're being ridiculous."
    "Fuck if I care, we're not talking about him anymore, he's not a part of our lives." 

Did she really not get what the hell was going on here? then again I didn't even know what was going on myself. I have to wait 'til dad arrives to find out what the fuck turned me into Wolverine.
     I heard hurried footsteps outside the door and loud voices; looks like the cavalry had arrived. Even though the circumstances were fucked I found myself being excited that my family was finally going to get to meet my girl for the first time. I felt almost like a proud husband about to show off his new bride, total sap. Skye on the other hand was nervous as shit, I don’t see why, they were going to love her I had no doubts.
     

 
     
     



Dad came through the door followed by mom, Damien the family lawyer, Ryder, Bianca, and..."Nonna?" Aww shit. 
"Don't nonna me young man, what the hell have you been getting up to you little scamp?" 

She waltzed over to where I was now standing holding Skylar close to my side.
     

Nonna is a wildcard, you never knew what the hell was gonna come out of her mouth from one moment to the next. 

She stopped in front of us, squinting at Skylar. What a con, I happen to know she has excellent eyesight. She studied my baby like a lab experiment making my hackles rise. I didn’t expect her to say anything untoward but like I said, the old lady’s a wildcard who knows which way the wind will blow?
     

"Where's grandpa?" He was the only one that maybe could control the old termagant if she got out of hand. 

"Walking the halls reliving his glory days, the old coot. Unhand the girl Talon, good Lord she looks like an appendage stuck to your side like that."
    "That'll be no." If anything I pulled her even closer while the others drew near.
    "It's like that is it? Your mother did warn me. It's about damn time too. Look at those eyes, magnificent. Good, Olivia, looks like we'll finally have some color in the family since the whole bunch of us looks like milquetoast. My great grand babies are going to be just gorgeous." 

I wonder if she realized she might've just insulted Ryder and Bianca, but they were smiling at her antics, everyone knew the old bat loved her family.
     

"Mom, cut it out, hello Skylar, nice to finally meet you, I'm Xavier, Talons dad, this is my wife Olivia, my eldest son Ryder, and his wife Bianca, my mother Eloise you've already met. Welcome to the family." He smiled before giving her a hug.
After all the introductions had been made, nonna, who had been studying Skylar all this time was at it again.
    

"Yes indeed, my great grand babies are going to be spectacular, I'm thinking a girl first though. I've been inundated with boys for the past fifty some odd years, we need some girls to break up the monotony. Don't think I'm a heartless old woman, those two decided to wait to have children." She said this to Skye while pointing her thumb over her shoulder at Bianca and Rye.
     

"You won't do that to a feeble old woman would you dear?"
    "Mom please, they're not even married yet."
    "Oh, Olivia please, like you don't know, how long you been in this family? you know how they work, the girl's as good as gone."
    "Yes but we don't want to scare her off."
    "If I know my grandson she won't be going anywhere." 
Everyone laughed at that, poor Skylar looked awe struck, I don't blame her, nonna was a lot to take in at once.
     

"So little sister welcome to the family."
     Ryder the lummox couldn't just shake hands like a normal person he had to pick my girl up and twirl her around.
    "Dude, hands off."
    "Calm your nerves lil bro, she belongs to us now, you gotta share."
    "Oh yeah? how'd you like to share my foot up..."
