Mon Chéri

I stand in the kitchen washing the dishes whilst swaying my hips to one of Morticia's records. Today is my first day back at work since I was told I can go back. I took a bit longer off so I can look after my now six month old son. I haven't spoken to larissa since she gave me Hubert back. She did as she said she would and a month after we got him back i got a letter telling me I had full custody.

I feel hands on my hips and a body against my ass as it moves with me. I lean back against my wife and I lay my head back on her shoulder. She sings the words to the song with me as I rest my hand under her chin. Her nails dig into me as I smile and scrunch my nose up at her.

We are interupted by my phone going off. I groan pressing my lips against hers quickly before picking up my phone. "Hello?" I ask answering the phone. I lean with my elbows on the counter and a smile forms on my face as I feel a hand slap my ass slightly before sliding off of it as Tish walks off.

"Hi Mrs frump its hannah" I hear a raspy voice say before coughing. "Hannah is everything okay?" I ask taking Ravens plate from her and putting in in the sink. "Yeah uh..I woke up ill and I don't want to give it to hubert so I can't watch him today. I'm so sorry" she tells me coughing again. "Its fine hun..get well soon" I tell her. She says goodbye before hanging up.

I groan looking at Hubert who is in his chair on the floor smiling back at me. I sigh lifting him out of the chair "what am I gonna do with you hm?". He squeals at me and waves his arms around making my mood brighten instantly. "Alright bertster" I say laughing and bouncing him slightly.

"Who was calling amour?" Tish asks coming back into the room with the heels i said I wanted to wear. I smile taking them from her and passing her hubert "Hannah the babysitter. She's ill so can't look after hubert. Ill take him to work with me today and we can just swap whenever you have breaks.". She nods and I lean in to kiss her but a tiny hand pushes me away "fine I won't kiss mommy then".

We leave and drop Raven off at school before heading to nevermore. I stare at my wife's face as we stand next to the car and she helps me put hubert in the carrier. "Amour?" She asks when she notices in staring. "Sorry..your just so hot" I mutter before grabbing her by her chin and pulling her down to kiss me. Our lips meet for a brief few seconds before hubert pushes Morticia's face away and rests his head on my chest.

I say goodbye to tish before walking to my classroom. As I walk down the hallway I make faces at hubert who giggles. I blow a raspberry on the top of his head making him laugh again. I accidentally bump into someone walking out of a classroom and I put my hand on the back of Hubert's head as the person holds onto my arm to steady me.

"I'm so sorry i-" I stops talking when I make eye contact with Larissa. She looks down at hubert then back at me "hi...how are you..how is..he?". "He's fine..we are good. H..how are you?" I stutter out feeling slightly scared. I'm still terrified from the incident in the hospital and from her taking my baby from me.

"I'm okay..better now." She tells me and I nod. I notice her looking at the baby in the carrier who is trying to grab my cheeks in confusion. I smile at her slightly as I dodge the tiny hands "the sitter was ill so I had to bring him with me". She nods and quickly walks away without saying another word.

I grab onto Hubert's hands as he tries to grab me again as I continue walking "alright bertie no more grabbing mamas face". He squeals at me making me laugh as I open the door.

I freeze when I spot all my students in the room already. Two are stood on ladders hanging up a 'Welcome back Mrs Frump!'. "Shit she's early" someone shouts as they finish tying up the banner. I raise my eyebrows at the student "language josh..whats this?". "We had balloons and things but you weren't supposed to be here yet" another mutters looking sad.

"Well this is amazing...thankyou. I'm sorry I was off for so long. This is mr frump. His secretary couldn't go in today so he is with us" I say positioning myself so they can see his face and waving his hand. A few students aww and laugh as I set up for the day.

I start the lesson and I walk around whilst rocking myself for the hour. After a while Hubert finally falls asleep and I sit at my desk with him. The rest of the day goes near enough the same and I end up sat in my classroom with Hubert chewing on a toy whilst I mark work.

The door opens and I smile as Cheryl steps in. "I thought you must have been back..my day was exceptionally brighter today" she says grinning at me making me grow flustered. "I..uh..y..yeah.." I mutter running my fingers through the tiny bit of hair hubert has.

I notice her staring at him for a while before she asks "isn't that larissas son?..it is isnt it..she was rushing here there and everywhere with him for a while". I nod slightly "its complicated..we..fought for custody and she got him and then gave him up again". "So you cheated on Morticia?" She asks. I sigh "as I said its complicated".

She nods and moves a chair next to me. She holds her hands out grinning at bertie "well let me hold the little stinker..oh god he's so cute". I pass him over and he smiles at her before sticking his tongue out and blowing raspberries. I let her hold him whilst she talks to me and I keep marking.

Half way through marking we start laughing at something. Cheryl places her hand on my thing as I wipe the tears from my eyes still laughing. I look over to my son who is asleep in her arms before continuing to mark my work...all with her hand still on my thigh. Her thumb starts rubbing soothingly against me and I don't protest.

Half an hour later the door opens again "Mon cheri are you-". Tish stops in her tracks as she spots our son asleep in another woman's arms. She looks up to Cheryls face before following her arm down to her hand on my thigh. She walks over to Cheryl and takes hubert from her quickly. She grabs my hand and drags me up barley giving me any time to grab my bag of things.
