Late for an important date

late as always, your husband had the worst time-keeping skills you have ever seen. you were pacing up and down outside your daughter's school, wearing a pair of black jeans and a (y/f/c) fancy top. you left your coat on your chair inside the sports hall, freezing your ass off. "Sorry I'm late Luv" Your husband panted as he ran up to you, "Where the hell have you been?" You shouted at him hitting him with your handbag multiple times

"Jesus fucking christ" He cursed trying to block your attacks with a leather handbag full of crap "I swear to god if you were gambling I'm going to Hex you so bad" you growled in between strikes with your now lethal weapon of a handbag. John was attempting to grab the bag off you but you had a death grip on the thing. he opted for grabbing your wrists "I'm sorry Luv, I really am. can we continue this later?" He asked, okay he had a point you could beat his ass later for it.

you sighed giving in taking your seat back in the hall. your best friend Zatanna came along to support Carla in her first school musical in a lead role. you thought it was a good idea to sit between them seen as Zee was John's ex, despite this Zee was still your friend and Godmother to Carla.

the first half flew by and you had to threaten John to not be the last one back for a cigarette break. amazingly that worked but then again he was still in trouble for almost being late in the first place. another hour and two proud parents later the show was finished, the three of you shot to your feet when Carla stepped forward for her bow.

the three of you stood together waiting for Carla to appear from backstage, instead her drama teacher "Mr. and Mrs. Constantine, may I have a word?" he questioned joining your group.
"what has she done now?" you and John asked back in unison, she had a streak of her in her, which was both a blessing and a curse. "oh, nothing. She is a very talented young lady" he replied a little surprised that was the conclusion you jumped to.

you smiled at his comment "You can thank her Auntie Zee for that". Zee started to blush at your comment which was weird for her, normally she bathed in compliments." I wanted to put her forward for a place at Royal Central" Mr. Ramsden explained, your eyes went wide and john started choking on air. "(y/n) that's the best theater school in London" Zee explained with a Cheshire cat-style grin on her face. "Fucking hell, ya think she's got what it takes?" John cursed.

Mr. Ramsden couldn't help but smile, he too was proud of your daughter being such a role model student "Carla has a very rare talent you don't see very often" he commented
"It's a nice offer, Mr. Ramsden but we couldn't afford the fees" you explained, you'd love nothing more than to give your daughter the world but you and John both knew you'd couldn't afford it at all. "Don't be silly ill cover that" Zatanna piped up

"You don't have to do that Zee" John commented, as much as he is a thief and conman he couldn't expect his ex to pay for his daughter. "You might be married to my jack ass of an ex (Y/N), But Carla is my goddaughter and I will do anything to make her happy" she commented placing a hand on her shoulder " I guess it's settled" you began "thank you Mr. Ramsden and Zee you are amazing!" As if on cue your daughter came running out, hugging you all in turn.

That night she hardly slept after you told her about theatre school and that she needs to be extra nice to Auntie Zee. And John well let's just say he has a reason never to be late again, you can be one scary wife when you want to be.
