TW ATTEMPTED SUICIDE

You stared at the bottle of pills, this is what your life had come to. You poured them into your hand, emptying the bottle out. Tears stained your cheeks, weighing your options out. You could either live and suffer the pain until you died of old age, or put yourself out of misery. The latter option seemed more appealing, you thought. You closed your eyes, preparing yourself.

"Mummy? I'm hungry, can you make me something?" Your daughter, Pippa, looked at you from the doorway.

"Why are you in the dark mummy?" She asked innocently, not aware of the severity of the situation she had walked into.

"I will make you something to eat, Pip" You mustered a smile, placing the pills on the bedside table.

"Okay mummy!" She wandered off, leaving you in the dark. You put your head into your hands, thinking about everything that had happened in the past 6 years...

6 years earlier..

"You are hereby sentenced to 15 years in Greenville County Jail for the murder of Leon Penkins" The judge hit the gavel down, declaring Oncelers punishment. His sentence had been significantly reduced since evidence was brought forward of Leon's criminal past. Leon had previously been convicted for petty theft, rape and greavious bodily harm. Still, Onceler going to prison for 15 years meant that you couldn't have a happy family, and your child would grow up without a father. You were all alone.

Soon after the news about Onceler came out, Thneed Inc shut down, the assets going to you. When he went to prison, you were about 6 months pregnant.

Of course, depression hit hard. Your mother tried her best to console you, but she couldn't really help that much. She ended up as your main advisor for your company (after changing her appearance to avoid conspiracy).Every day was the same, wake up, cry. Throw up, cry. Then cry some more. The cycle went on. That was until your mother lectured you and the midwife told you that if you maintained your current lifestyle, the baby would not survive.

So, you put all your effort into improving your lifestyle. You lived to bring life to that child. When you went for a check up, you had gained weight, the baby was healthy.

"Would you like to know the gender?" The midwife asked.

"Yes please" You smiled, happy with yourself that the baby was healthy. She scanned your  belly, you waited for a moment.

"Hold on a moment" She walked out the room, you began to get concerned. What if the baby wasn't as healthy as she previously thought? She walked back into the room with a smile on her face.

"Y/N, don't worry. Your baby girl is perfectly healthy" She smiled. You gasped.

"A girl? Oh my" You laughed. You had always wanted a daughter. You called your mother into the room, who hugged you as soon as you told her.

"I'm so happy for you Y/N" She said, you cried into her shoulder. Everything reminded you of Onceler. It really felt like he had died that day. So many emotions flowed through you it was almost unbearable. The only thing keeping you going was your baby.

----

Your mother drove you home, her face full of concern

"Do you want me to make you something to eat?"

"No it's alright mom, I will just heat up some pasta" You said, she nodded.

"The business is doing good amidst all of it" She said, you smiled weakly at her.

"That's good to hear. Thankyou, for everything." She dropped you off, waving goodbye.

You sat on the couch, picking up your phone. You called the prison, asking them to put you through to Onceler.

"Y/N? Is that you?" He sounded drained but excited to hear from you.

"Hi, I've got some news about the baby"

"How are you? How do you feel?" He asked. He had apologized over a thousand times to you since he was sentenced. No matter how many times he said sorry, he still wasn't here. He wasn't here when you needed him most. You didn't know who to blame, your sister, Onceler, Leon or yourself. You were the reason Onceler did what he did to Leon.

"Yeah, I'm okay. Anyways what I wanted to tell you-"

"Please don't lie to me Y/N"

"What do you mean?"

"You're not okay. After all this, I don't know how you can even speak to me."

"Onceler, I know what you did was wrong. But in retrospect, you did it for the right reason." You sighed, not wanting to talk about this again.

"Anyway, the baby"

"Okay, tell me" He sighed through the phone.

"It's a girl" He gasped through the phone.

"A girl! What should we name her?" Though it was still his baby, it felt weird hearing him say we. You would be raising the child, not him.

"I thought Pippa would be a cute name" You said. You had been spending a lot of time in the forest with Lorax recently, finding solace in the forest animals, specifically Pipsqueak.  So Pippa would be named after Pipsqueak.

"Pippa. I love it!" He said, you heard murmurs in the background.

"That's my time Y/N. Please come see me soon. I love you" Before you could say anything, the phone line went dead. You sighed, wondering if you should see him before the due date. You were deep in thought until you heard a knock at the door.

You cautiously moved to the door, opening it slowly.

"Hey there" The man said. You slowly looked up at him. He looked exactly like Onceler, what the fuck?!
