And so the story goes something like this.....
shelton: Blake was pissed and seeing red. He smirked as she threw the remote. Oh yes, it was on. he dared her to push him or anything, because that would be the end of it. "Don't tempt me to try it, Miranda." He said it calmly as he stared down at her, his temper still there. He stepped closer to her. "Why don't you try it first, and let's see how far you get. I know how far I will get." He challenged her.
lambert: Miranda laughed at him, shaking her head. "So all this over little Kelly Clarkson, hmm? I should've known better, knowing your little track record with your last marriage." Should she have said that? Probably not. Ran was never good at biting her tongue when she was pissed off, and pissed off she was. She crossed her arms across her chest, still staring straight up at him. "You think I couldn't kick your ass? If I were you I'd take back what you said right now before you regret it."
shelton: Blake's temper grew more as she kept pushing. Finally, the last thing she said, it pushed him over the edge. He grabbed her face. "Fucking stop." He shoved her backwards away from him. He didn't care anymore, and he didn't have to justify anything to her. He stared hard at her, daring her to say anything else, much less do anything about what he did. It wasn't all over Kelly, but he would go ahead and let her think whatever the hell she wanted about things.
lambert: Miranda almost lost her footing when she got shoved, but recovered in time so she didn't fall on her ass. She stared at Blake, shocked that he actually just did that. Ran shut her mouth and clenched her fist. She had never been this upset with him in her life. "How dare you!" she screamed out, walking right back over to him and shoving him right back. "Who the fuck do you think you are, Blake?"
shelton: Blake just stared at her until he got shoved. He nearly fell over his own feet, but he caught himself on the wall. He was seeing red that she actually pushed him. He walked towards her and shoved her down onto the couch, holding her down. "Who the hell do you think you are, Miranda? Huh? You aren't anyone fucking special. I'm not some bitch out there that you can fucking intimidate!" He held her hands with one hand as he grabbed her face with the other. "Don't fucking start shit. I'm sick of it. I'm tired of you using your damn pregnancy as an excuse." He was so pissed at that moment that he didn't care. He was close to snapping.
lambert: Miranda knew very well that she wouldn't stand a chance against Blake in a physical fight, not because she was pregnant and a woman which didn't help her side at all, but just the pure size and strength difference of the two. She really didn't care about it though, she wasn't just going to roll over and raise up a white flag to surrender. Ran started wriggling around, trying to break her hands free as hard as she could. "Fuck off Blake, get your fucking hands off of me right now!" She tried to kick at him to get him away from her. "What are you gonna do, Shelton? Beat up the mother of your baby? You gonna kill me? Try it. Fucking try it."
shelton: When Miranda tried kicking at him, he put a knee on top of her legs to hold her down. He looked down at her with his temper still flared. "what the fuck are you going to do about any of it, Lambert? Not a God damn thing other than run to mama and daddy like the little baby you are." He was pissed beyond pissed at this time. "All you've got to do is say the words, Miranda. You know how to push the buttons just right, so say it." He stared at her as he held her face, squeezing just a little to let her know that he was serious.
lambert: Miranda still couldn't believe that this was going down. She never thought any guy would lay a hand on her, especially Blake. She wasn't scared at all yet though. She glared up at him, beyond pissed off now. Ran knew he was serious as soon as he had shoved her, but with what he was doing to her face she really knew now. "Fuck you, Blake. I can fight my own fucking battles, get your damn hands off of me right now and you'll fucking see what you've started!" God damn, she had no way of defending herself now besides her words and she knew it.
shelton: Blake stared down at her. "Can you, Miranda, can you? I bet you will run to mommy and daddy once this fight is over with, won't you? And I don't have to get my damn hands off of you! You are MINE." He shoved her face some before he slapped her across the face, not too hard, but hard enough for her to feel it. "Now, you can fucking try to do something about it." He wasn't going to leave a mark to where others would see, but he didn't plan on just letting her talk the way she was to him. He had enough of things! He was shocked that he actually hit her, though.
lambert: Miranda was shocked that Blake actually hit her. She had shut her eyes at the last second before impact and kept them shut for a moment while she tried to register what had actually just happened. He seriously just hit her? Blake of all people? The one man who actually loved her? Ran didn't know how to react to it...she acted tough and badass most of the time, but she hid her fragile side through it. Miranda had no idea if she should start screaming at him or bawling. She always sang about shooting and killing men who would hit her, but she never actually had to face that situation. She turned her head back to center to look at him, her face still stinging from his slap. "Fuck you," she said almost whispering. "You fucking asshole, just strangle me and get it over with."
shelton: Blake listened to every word she said. He looked at her more. "Don't...fucking....tempt... me," he said quietly. He was shocked he actually hit her, but he was still pissed. The adrenaline was still pumping through his veins. He put his hand around her neck and squeezed some. "Are you sure you want me to do it?' He was cold and his blue eyes were stone cold.
lambert: Miranda's eyes widened up at him in shock when he grabbed her neck. She really couldn't believe that this is what it was coming down to. She looked over his face and was actually starting to get scared with what she saw there. It wasn't the Blake she knew, it wasn't her Blakey. Damn it, why did Bev have to leave? Ran started hoping in her head that maybe her mama forgot something and had to come back. She was staring right into his eyes. For the first time in her life she was actually scared of him. Her instincts wanted her to keep fighting when her back was against the wall, so she spat at him then instantly regretted doing it. Shit. Stupid move.
shelton: Blake was shocked that she spat at him. Stupid move, indeed. He squeezed her neck more. "Don't you ever...fucking ever spit at me again. Got it, bitch?" He squeezed harder as he shook her. "Quit being fucking stupid, God damn!" He got up, throwing her off into the floor after he watched her face turn red. He looked at her in the floor, almost feeling bad, but not bad enough. The anger came back up, and he kicked her in the stomach, but not hard. "Get the fucking baby out of you if you can't fucking get your shit together." Yes, he was fucking pissed beyond pissed. He was tired of the damn mood swings. Maybe it was best that she lost the baby.
lambert: Miranda started panicking when he strangled her, she thought for sure that this was it. Damn it, the one person she actually ever loved was going to be the one person to kill her and her baby. She tried to wriggle away from him but failed, then flew to the floor when she was thrown. Ran lost it and started crying and brought her hands to her throat, coughing and trying to breathe. She was in complete shock over what just happened. She heard so many stories of other women getting attacked from her parents jobs and never thought she'd be one of them. It's why her daddy Rick taught her how to shoot, so she could protect herself from things like this. She called out, mostly in fear for her baby, when he kicked her stomach and curled up into a ball, still crying. Ran had totally dropped the bad ass act and just lay there. She knew she should probably try to get out of there and save herself and her baby, but she was still in too much shock to do it. Her Blake, the man who promised to never hurt her, just tried to...oh God.
shelton: He looked at her laying on the floor curled up and crying. He looked at her, still disgusted and pissed as he rubbed his face. "Now, why don't you go run to mommy and daddy, Miranda. Let them fucking baby you and give you everything you want." He kicked her in the stomach one more time. "Get the fucking baby out of you. I'm tired of fucking fighting with you!!!" Man, he was pissed. He couldn't believe he was doing Operation No More, but he was tired of having to fight with her. This pregnancy cost them their relationship just about. He doubted that they would last after tonight, but at that moment, he didn't give a fuck about it. He reached down and grabbed her by the hair, pulling her up to face him.
lambert: Miranda screamed at him to stop and started crying even harder when he kicked her again. God, this couldn't be happening, she kept hoping it was a terrible dream and she was going to wake up soon and none of it would be real. "Stop it, Blake, stop it! Stop!" she screamed, tears and mascara running down her face right before he grabbed her hair. Never in a million years did she think she would get beat like this, or by him. Ran was terrified for her life and for their baby's. She struggled with him, trying to get away, when Blake forced her up by her hair, screaming at him again. "Please, stop it Blake, stop it! This isn't you!!"
shelton: Blake looked at her when she screamed at him the second time around. He looked at her tear and mascara streaked face. He instantly felt guilty about things, and let go of her hair. He took a deep breath and turned his back to her as he covered his face. He couldn't believe what he just did. He looked back at her over his shoulder as he walked towards the kitchen. He needed a drink to calm down, so he made himself a Blakearita. Did he really do that, did he? Shit, he did. He thought about everything that just happened as he took a long drink. If anyone was to find out, oh man... Yeah, this had better stay between them.
lambert: Miranda dropped down to the floor, sobbing and wrapping her hands protectively over her stomach. She didn't know what to say or do. She knew she should probably run like hell and get to a doctor to make sure her baby was okay, but she couldn't move from where she was. Ran was still so shocked that all of this had happened. Still sitting on the floor, she looked around for her cell phone that was at one time ontop of the table that Blake had kicked earlier. She should call her daddy or her mama or someone to get her out of there... but she couldn't find it right now. What would she say anyway? Damn it. She should have never let her husband hide away all the guns. She had no idea how it came to this, if it was all over, or how it was all going to end. All she knew is that she would never forgive herself if she lost that baby, she grew too attached to it for something she only had for 12 weeks.
shelton: Blake looked at Miranda as he came back into the living room. He sat his cup down on an end table by the couch, He went and picked up the table that he kicked. He sat it back down by Miranda, trying not to look at her. He went and picked everything up that was scattered all over the place. He put it all back on the table but her phone. He held it in her hand. "Do you want to call mommy and daddy now?" He acted like he was going to hand it to her, but instead he threw it across the room and watched it break. Speaking of parents, God... His mom and Step-dad took didn't live far away. What if they heard the screams? Fuck, he never thought about it until now. God damn, he shouldn't have let her build a house on his land.
lambert: Miranda watched him carefully as he went around the living room. She couldn't even remember what started it all, she knew she was being a bitch, but was she really acting bad enough for this? Ran watched him destroy her phone then crawled backwards away from him, bumping into the couch that she was thrown off of moments earlier. She quickly wiped her face, looking back up at Blake, still scared of what he might do. For once in her life she didn't try to start anything with him. She looked around for any of her dogs, who went missing as soon as the yelling had started. Damn them. "I..I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." she whispered to him, looking over at the door then back up at him. Could she make it? Hmm...
shelton: Blake watched her. "Are you really, Miranda? Last I knew, you didn't give a fuck. What happened to this bad ass image you have? Huh? You wanted to kill Kelly. You wanted to kill everyone. Now what?" He was pissed over everything still. He had enough of things. He walked by her and to the door. He looked outside towards his mom's house before he shut the door, locking it. He walked back over and sat down on the couch as he looked at her. "So, are you going to apologize to Kelly and mean it this time?"
