Mon Chéri

I sigh as I stand next to a bench in the park. I've been here for 5 minutes now and Raven fell asleep on the way here. I look down and I sigh at the fact I can see my breath in the cold air.

I hear footsteps and I turn around "Finally..ive been waiting for ages". "Sorry. Care for a cup of coffee?" Laurel asks. I sigh and I nod "fine. But decaf and your paying". She nods and we walk to the weathervane.

I put my hands on the table as I wait for my drink. "Your engaged? Congratulations" She says in a cheery tone. "Yeah..and your interrupting my night so hurry up with what you want to say" I tell her looking down at Raven to check she's asleep.

"Have you made a decision?" She asks sliding my coffee over to me when its brought over. I frown as she slides a bagel over too "I didnt order this..". "I know you haven't been eating. I've been watching..eat that" she says in a demanding tone.

"Laurel i-...Morticia cant know I'm still having..problems" I tell her as I look at her. She nods "Nyx I was your therapist..you can talk to me". I sigh and I lean back "I just..my parents came today..my father assaulted me and they attempted to take raven. My mother..told me I'm not a good mother. Its just brang back..what I've just got through".

My phone buzzes and I look at it "I have to go..Tish is getting worried". Laurel nods and stands up with me "I need an answer Nyx or ill send a letter telling Morticia everything you told me now and in therapy". I don't say anything I just walk out.

I get back home at 12.15am. I open the door and I hear voices in the living room. I take my coat off and I go to find out who is here. I walk in and larissa is sat with morticia who has a robe around her. Tish is on a call and looks scared.

"Honey?..whats going on?" I ask rubbing my eyes. I take Raven out of the carrier and I place her in her swing chair. Tish passes the phone to Larissa who says "Wednesday shes home" before hanging up. "Where the hell have you been?!" Morticia whisper shouts at me.

"I..went on a walk..I told you" I mutter as I sit down. "For over 3 hours?...Are you sleeping with someone else?" Tish asks. I sigh and I put my head in my hands "No!".

I look back at her with tears in my eyes "Laurel is back a..and she wants to use my powers. She said its to finish what she started and that..she will show me how to control them so I don't put anyone in danger. She was pretending to be my therapist..I.. told her nearly everything". Morticia sits next to me and hugs me tight.

"We will get this sorted Nyx" Larissa says crouching down and holding my hands. She stops when she feels my ring "Did you get engaged?.". I nod and I wipe my eyes "uh..yeah just before Laurel text me". "Congratulations!" She says hugging us.

We talk for a while longer as we make a plan to stop Laurel. I yawn slightly and I lay ontop of Morticia. "Tired my love?" She whispers and I nod. Larissa stands up "ill get going so she can sleep". I sigh into Morticias chest as I start to kiss between her boobs. I pull her robe open as I kiss lower down.

We hear the front door shut making us realise larissa left. I smile at Morticia and we get up "you put Ray to bed and ill get undressed". She nods and we go to do our separate tasks.

I stand next to the window in only my underwear as I scroll on my phone. A text pops up that Laurel send me a photo. My heart stops when I click on it and its a picture of me now through my window with the caption 'I told you I'm watching'. I turn around and I look out the window. I spot laurel stood grining at me. She waves then walks off.

I feel morticia's hands on my waist and I shut my phone off quickly. I turn around still a bit shocked and I fake a smile "on second thoughts...I think I'm a bit tired". Her face saddens but she nods and climbs into bed. I climb in next to her and I rest my head on her shoulder.

I listen as she hums a tune to me that she hums to Raven when she's had a bad dream or is upset. She traces along my tattoos on my back with her nail. My eyes grown heavy and I soon fall asleep in her arms.
