Raegan Gallagher-Milkovich

41-Biology

     "Mandy! Where the fuck were you!" Mickey yelled as he saw her come through the back door. Ian had brought Raegan upstairs earlier.

     "Out, why?" She muttered quietly.

     "Why? Because fuckin Terry came into our house when we weren't home! Raegan was here alone! Thank fucking Jesus we got home!"

     "Fuck Mickey! Sorry! Jesus!"

     Mickey slammed his hands down onto the table, "Mandy! This is my daughter we're talking about! Terry coming in here around my sixteen year old daughter! You of all people know what he's fucking like!"

     Mandy shot him a glare, "Don't fucking go there Mickey!"

     Mickey huffed in anger, "You took his goddamn meth! Why! Then you come fucking here! This is why you needed us!"

     "Look, I have it under control. I got money. I'll give it back to him and he'll be off our asses and then I'll go, okay? I'll fucking go!"

     "Mandy! You just came to drop by and drag Terry on us, put my family in danger!"

     "I didn't want to put them in danger Mick," Mandy tried to reason, "I was scared he was gonna kill me."

     "SO YOU FUCKING DRAGGED HIM HERE!"

     Mandy sighed, looking at the ground, clearly feeling ashamed. Mickey pinched the bridge of his nose, "look, you can stay here until you have him paid, but you have to make sure he's off our asses, away from Raegan."

     Mandy nodded, "Yeah, okay. Then I'll be gone okay, but.. I still want to see Raegan sometimes."

Mickey hesitated. He was livid with anger that Mandy had put his family in danger, but at the same time he wanted Mandy to have a relationship with Raegan.

"Fine, every few months then."

Raegan woke up with a jump, hearing glass smashing downstairs loudly. As if one of the windows downstairs was broken through.

     "Shit," she whispered to herself, this time instead of grabbing her bat like she usually did, she grabbed the gun she had on her nightstand.

     She swung her legs out of bed and made her way out of her room, downstairs, holding up her glock.

     In the kitchen, she found another fucking nightmare once again, Terry was back.. rummaging through drawers and looking through cabinets.

"Terry what the fuck!" Raegan yelled, making him spin around to face her, "DAD! TERRYS BACK!"

"You little bitch!" Terry yelled, suddenly storming towards her. He was so quick that he disarmed Raegan, grabbing the gun straight from her, then hitting her straight across the head with it.

"FUCK!" She cried in pain, getting knocked to the floor as she quickly realised that there was blood dripping from her head.

     She heard Mickeys voice coming downstairs but her vision got so blurry and black.

***

     Raegan blinked her eyes open and found herself back in her own bed, thinking she really needed to stop waking up like this.. foggy memory and a searing pain in her head.

     She got up slowly, trying not to let herself get a head rush when she spotted herself in the mirror. She had a huge gash on her forehead, when she remembered what happened the night before.

     "Shit.. Dad!" She yelled, running out of her room. Finding her dads in the living room.

     "What happened? Terry?" She questioned, confused at how fine they seemed.

     "We got rid of him. Don't worry we'll handle it," Mickey muttered bluntly, lighting a joint.

     "What? Like... what? He broke into the fucking house dad and knocked me out, what's going on?" Raegan went on.

     "We handled it Rae, please just leave it for now," Ian added.

"Where's Mandy?"

Ian and Mickey looked at each other. Not answering.

"What? Where is she?" Raegan pried.

"She left Rae. Terry is after her," Ian sighed.

Raegans face dropped, "Why is Terry after her?"

"She stole his meth. As you know, Terry isn't exactly father of the year, he went insane."

"What the literal fuck," Raegan mumbled. It was silent for a minute until Raegan finally sighed, "Also, how come I never knew about Mandy? Like your only sister."

"Why do you always ask fuckin questions rugrat," Mickey said.

Raegan raised her eyebrows at him, then finally Mickey looked to Ian again and he gave Mickey a nod.

"She split after you were born Rae, I was pissed off she didn't stick around for you. Turns out she did it coz one of her old boyfriends came looking for her. She wanted to protect you."

"But how would that effect me? If he was after her?"

Mickey scratched his eyebrow, "Fuck! Cos she was our surrogate. You're technically her kid!"

Raegan froze for a minute, not knowing what to say. Ian and Mickey looked disappointed for some reason. But eventually Raegan shrugged, "so, you want coffee?"

They both looked to her as if she just grew a second head. She seemed unbothered.

"Do we want coffee?" Ian asked.

"Yeah? I'm gonna make some," she smiled, walking to the kitchen.

"Rae, did you hear what we said?"

She nodded, "yup."

"And you don't give a shit?" Mickey added. Raegan shook her head in response, "not really no."

"Why?" Ian asked.

"She's not my mom. I don't have a mom, I have two dads and I always have since the day I was born. She's my aunt. Biology doesn't matter shit to me in this situation," she smiled, pouring her coffee.

Ian bit his lip, and Mickey froze for a minute. Until finally he smiled super big, "Fuck off rugrat," he laughed, going to hug her and mess up her hair, "sappy piece of shit."

Raegan giggled and tried to push him away as he ruffled her hair and squeezed her sides.

Ian laughed as he put his arms around his husband and daughter. Realising they were worried for nothing.

Ahhh Idk about this chapter tbh💀
