You were at training when one of the coaches flagged you down.
"Hey, your phones been ringing."
"Oh, thank you."
Your wife, Leah, was watching you from the pitch, seeing your facial expressions go from concerned to shocked. She excuses herself from the group she was in and walks towards your form.
"What's happening?" She stands behind you, placing her hands on your waist.
"That was the principal."
"The principal? Of Bella's school?"
"No, of Chewbacca's school. Of course Bella's school." You answer sarcastically.
Yiu hear your wife Breathe in deeply, a way for you to know that she's trying to calm herself.
"What did he say?"
"Bella's been suspended, for punching a kid."
Leah walks away, presumably to where Jonas was to excuse the both of you. You basically had to run after Leah, as she already packed both your things and taken her boots off, leaving you to change out of your boots in the car.
You could tell she was fuming. Bella is her little girl, a mini Leah, so she was very strict on her. Picking Bella up from school, she didn't say a word. The way her eyebrows were furrowed, you and your daughter could tell she was in a bad mood.
"Sit on the couch." Was all Leah said once she parks the car in the garage.
Bella did as she said while you followed after your wife.
"Hey." You softly greeted while she's drinking a glass of water. "Don't get mad right away. We don't even know what happened exactly."
"She punched a kid for crying out loud. What more is there to know?"
You pull Leah's hair out of the ponytail it's in to be able to run your fingers through them, calming her down a bit.
"But why would she do that? You know Bella. She's a mini version of you. There has to be a reason why she did it."
After Leah's calmed down a bit more, you both head into the living room, seeing your daughter sat on the couch staring at the floor.
"Hey, Bells. How are you?" You crouch down next to her while Leah takes a seat on the other seat. Bella shrugs and you can see some tears lining her eyes. "Why don't you tell us what happened?"
"Billy keeps messing with me. He *sniffles* he's always shov-shoving me and laughing beca-because I've got you and Mama."
"What do you mean, bubs?" Leah asks softly, scooting to the edge of her seat.
"He said it's weird and gross to have two mums." She bursts into tears, falling in your open arms. "I'm sorry Mummy, I'm sorry Mama. I didn't mean to hit. He was just being so mean."
"Hey, hey." Leah sits on the floor, taking Bella from your arms to sit her on her lap, holding her close. "You're okay. Me and Mummy are so proud of you for sticking up for yourself, for us, but we don't need you to do that. We can deal with it ourselves. You're my little girl, but you're also so brave." Kisses are placed on her head. "But we do not hit people, okay?"
Bella nods, pushing her face further into the crook of your wife's neck.
"We do not hit people. We tell an adult and let them handle it. I'm glad you told us. I'll have a talk with the principal tomorrow."
"You've got the rest of the week off." You get up from your crouched position, dusting yourself off. "How does a little movie night sound?"

hey guys!
i have been made aware that there is an account on wattpad that has copied this fic and changed the name and pov's then posted it on their account. it was basically word for word, didn't even bother changing the title.
they posted it on feb. 10 and this has been in my wattpad drafts since dec. 19, 2023 as you can see above. i have posted this fic on dec. 20, 2023 on my tumblr so i know they took it from that platform
@syptut-jurze3-vevpig shame on you. i am not the only writer you've done this too as i am mutuals with them and they've told me. i never gave permission to you or anyone and the other writers didn't either
yes i am calling you out publicly because it isn't fair that us writers take time out of their day to write while you change a few pronouns and names here and there and try to pass it as yours
thanks for reading my little drabble. this has never happened to me so id don't really know what to do.
-grey
update: wattpad has removed that fic from their book. i hope they don't try to counterclaim my report and has learned that copying isn't a thing they should do
