Mon Chéri

55

_________________________________________Nyx

I'm startled awake by the front door shutting. I sit up brushing my hair off of my face and rubbing my eyes. My back is aching and my eyes feel sore from crying. I look towards the living room doorway when my wife steps into it..with hickeys all over her neck.

I stand up as I refuse to make eye contact with her. "who..who did you sleep with?" I ask in a shake voice as I try not to cry. "Larrissa. I'm so sorry mon cheri...we..just were at her place for a drink and we got to taking..about how we weren't sleeping together. She drunkenly joked about her..helping me and I took her up on it. I'm so sorry" Morticia tells me as she walks closer to me.

"So not only did you cheat on me but you spoke about or private life to her which caused you to treat..you spoke about us not having sex like I was denying you it and not like I was afraid to because of what Cheryl did to me!" I cry out as I slide my heels off. She goes to speak but I shake my head at her "Get out". She steps closer to me but I shake my head passing my engagement and wedding rings to her "get the hell away from me.".

I follow her as she walks towards the door with tears in her eyes. "I needed you last night Morticia..I slept on the sofa..the rock hard one we have been meaning to replace for months because I needed you that much" I mutter out trying to stop the tears falling from my eyes. Tish turns to me with confusion covering her face "what..what was the matter?". I laugh slightly holding onto the door "Now you funking give a shot about me. I'm still pregnant..the funking abortion didn't work..if you didnt notice". I slam the door before sitting against it.

I feel my heart breaking into a million tiny pieces. She slept with larissa. I know I did the same..but what she did hurt me more than anything ever could. She slept with Larissa because I was raped and wouldn't have set with her yet. I cover my mouth with my hand as I feel sick rising in my throat. I rush to the downstairs bathroom and I sit in the bathroom for over an hour as I throw up.

I end up staying off of work for the next two months. I can't bare seeing Morticia and if I see Larissa I may put my fist or a vine through her face. I didn't have the procedure to get rid of the baby. Raven was already getting excited that she'd have another sibling..even though I didn't specifically tell her about the baby. I also had no one to help me afterwards which is the legal requirement..I've been left with no one.

As I step into larissas office she looks up at me "Nyx?..". I refuse to make eye contact as I speak "Is there anything that I need to be caught up on work wise?". "Nyx i-" She begins to say. I look up at her before muttering angrily "I swear to god larissa I'm trying hard enough not to kill you would you just answer my fucking question!". She nods looking down "there..are a few new students..but that's it.". I nod as I start to walk out.

As I open the door I nearly walk into a body "Sor-". I freeze when I spot my wife-..Well supposedly my wife. "Mon cheri. Hello.." She whispers out looking at me. Her eyes trail down my body and hover over my larger stomach. "If you want to stare at someone go and start at your girlfriend in there" I scoff out. "She's not my girlfriend. You are my wife..I only have you and I only belong with you. May I.. come home my love? I miss you" She asks.

I give her a look before walking out muttering some harsh words under my breathe. She wants to come home? Well that's not gonna happen..she kicked me out when I slept with larissa whilst we were both drunk. I know my wife and she has a very high alcohol tolerancy and she slept with larissa with worse reasons.

It gets to the end of the day and I head home. Its morticia's turn to have the kids so she should have got them from the sitter at about 4. I get home and I notice the lights are still on in the house. Did tish not come to get the kids?

I open the front door and I can hear Ravens laughter and Huberts giggling. I smile walking into the living room but it disappears when I spot Morticia. "Why are you here?" I ask standing In the doorway. Morticia looks at me and gets up. "Mommy came home!" Raven tells me. I give her an angry look as I walk to the kitchen with her behind me.

"When on earth did I say you could come home?!" I shout at her as I start to clean up the kitchen. "Amour I've been gone long enough. I understand that I did wrong but-" She says. "YOU DONE WRONG?! OF COURSE YOU BLOODY DID..I just..would you get out" my tone lowers as I start to feel dizzy. "I've already told Raven and hubert I'm staying" She tells me placing a hand on my lower back as I lean on the side. "Well then you sleepnin the guest room or on the sofa..I don't want you near me at all" I tell her walking out of the kitchen.

I walk into the living room and I smile at the kids as I pick up Hubert "Let's get you two ready for bed.". Morticia helps me but stays silent as we bathroom the kids and get them changed. I sit on Ravens bed as I braid her hair. "Mama" She questions looking at me. I hum finishing her hair "yes sweetheart". "Are you and Mommy gonna marry other people like my friends Mommy and daddy?" She asks looking slightly worried.

I sigh shaking my head "I don't know baby. But If we do it wouldn't change how much we both love you and your brother.". "And baby sister!" she says pointing to my bump. I smile slightly looking down "it might be a boy..and remember what I said. They might go to a different family who need them more". She nods and climbs into bed. I kiss her head muttering "goodnight Ray".

I turn around and I notice Morticia is stood in the doorway. I switch the light off and I slide past Tish to get out. A hand grabs onto mine as I try to walk towards the bedroom. "What?" I question staring at her. "I...I love you" She says stepping closer to me. I pull my hand from her as I walk away to the bedroom. I close the door behind me before rubbing my face.

It hits 2 in the morning and I'm laid in bed staring at the wall. The baby is kicking like mad and i cant sleep anyways with Morticia being in the house and not in my bed.

The door opens and I look towards it expecting it to be Raven. I frown and I roll back over when I spot Morticia. The bed sinks next to me and I feel arms snake around my waist. I roll onto my back and I stare at her. Her hand cups my face and push my face closer to her. My eyes meet hers and we keep staring at each other for a while. I push my head towards hers and I kiss her gently.

The kiss turns rougher and small moans escape my mouth. I quickly stop the kiss as I sit up and I move away "No..that..was a mistake..you need to leave..just..go to your room". Morticia ignores me and keeps her arm around my waist with her head on me. "Morticia I swear-" I start to shout at her. "No. I am not letting you leave me because of some.. stupid mistake I have made. I love you with all of my heart and I'm not letting you end this" She shouts at me.

I look down for a few seconds before starting to cry. I lay back down again and I lay on tish with her hand playing with my hair to soothe me. I fall asleep in my wife's arms once again.
