TW- mentions of harassment / sa
(this is taking place when Charlotte got sent that unsolicited pic from the ex nursery worker, aka Adam)


"Okay Charlotte. Do you want to come over? I know it's late, but I know your girls are with their dad for the week. I don't mind, and neither does Reece. Okay. I'll come pick you up. Bye my love." Marjorie said, talking on the phone with Charlotte.
"Marjorie what's wrong?" Reece asked, rubbing his eyes and walking downstairs.
"It's a long story. I have to go get Charlotte." Marjorie said, going to grab her keys.
"I'm coming with. You can tell me what happened in the car." Reece replied, following Marjorie out the door.

Marjorie got in the car, and so did Reece. Marjorie explained to Reece that Charlotte was sent unsolicited pics and videos from an ex nursery worker. Marjorie then told Reece how this man had always been creepy, hitting on staff members and harassing them.

"Oh my fucking god. Has she told Mia???" Reece panicked.
"She has. She told me that Mia can't catch a flight until late afternoon, and that she'll be here later tonight. Mia's fuming." Marjorie said, turning down Charlottes street.

Marjorie could feel Reeces anger. Reece never understood how men could act like that. Marjorie put her hand on Reece's arm, rubbing it to try and calm him down. Marjorie pulled in Charlotte's driveway and got out of the car. She knocked on the door and Charlotte immediately opened it.

"Thank you for coming Marjorie." Charlotte said, tearing up.
"Of course my love." Marjorie pulled Charlotte into a hug.

The two women stood there for a few minutes, holding each other tight.

Marjorie broke the hug. "Reece is in the car too. He insisted on coming."

Charlotte nodded, and followed Marjorie to the car and got in the back seat.

"Hey Char. Marjorie told me what happened. You can stay at our place for as long as you need, or at least until Mia arrives." Reece said, turning around in his seat to face Charlotte.
"Thank you. I really do appreciate you guys doing this." Charlotte said, looking at the couple.

Marjorie pulled out of Charlottes driveway and drove to her and Reeces house. They arrived at the house and Marjorie unlocked the door.

"Charlotte. Do you want a glass of wine? I know you don't drink that often, but I figured I would ask." Marjorie asked, walking in the house and heading to the kitchen.
"Actually, yes." Charlotte replied, sitting on the couch.

Marjorie grabbed three glasses and a bottle of red and sat down on the couch. Reece sat next to Marjorie, and Charlotte was sat in front of them.

"Char, did that guy send you anything else?" Reece asked, throwing a blanket on top of Charlotte.
"No, he didn't. Thank goodness." Charlotte said, taking a swig of her wine.
"Yeah. I cant believe someone would do that to you. But unfortunately, it makes total sense for Adam to do that." Marjorie butted in, setting her glass down.
"Wait. It was Adam?" Reece asked.
"Yeah. Like I said earlier he used to torment the staff members. Anything from asking for sex to hitting on the apprentices. He hit on me too." Marjorie replied, holding out her hand to Charlotte.
"Yeah. He quite literally attempted to make a 'move' on every staff member." Charlotte said, taking Marjorie's hand.
"I cannot believe men sometimes. And I am one. I know Mia is going to lose her shit." Reece replied, with an angry tone in his voice.

Marjorie pulled Charlotte in for another hug. Charlotte fell asleep on the couch, and so did Marjorie. Reece stayed up all night pulling up the nursery records to find all what Adam did. He was fuming when he looked through them all, and he was about to go for a drive. He opened the door and saw Mia standing there.

"Where is Char." Mia asked, fuming.
"She's asleep on the couch with Marjorie." Reece said, moving to the side so Mia could walk in.

Mia walked in and saw the two women holding each other, sleeping. Mia smiled.

"I'm glad Char has you two. I'm especially glad she has you and Autumn because you are both like me. Willing to do anything for the people we love, and the people that our partners love." Mia whispered, sitting on the couch opposite from Charlotte and Marjorie.
"Me too." Reece replied, sitting next to Mia.
"I know I'm not one to do this, but Reecey, can I hug you? I just hate to see Charlotte like this." Mia asked, turning to face Reece.
"Of course you can." Reece replied, pulling Mia in close.

The two hugged for a few minutes. Marjorie woke up and saw the two, and she didn't move or say anything to let them know she was awake. She just smiled.

"Right. I better wake her up now." Mia said, pulling away from the hug. "Charlotte?"
"Hi Mia." Charlotte rubbed her eyes, staring at her red headed girlfriend.
"I'm so sorry I wasn't there to protect you sweetheart." Mia said, brushing a hair out of Charlottes face.
"Cmon. You can come to my place and we'll figure out what to do. I was thinking name and shame him." Mia said, grabbing Charlottes things.
"Amelia Roberts!" Charlotte yelled. "Thank you again Marjorie and Reece."
"Anytime my love." Marjorie said.
"Mia, you'll text me to update me?" Reece asked, looking at Mia and Marjorie.
"Yes Reecey." Mia rolled her eyes and headed towards the door. "Charlotte, go ahead and get in the car. I'll be there in a second sweetheart."
"Oh okay." Charlotte nodded, and walked out the front door.

Mia pulled Marjorie in for a hug. Marjorie was stunned at the mean redheads move, but Marjorie accepted it and wrapped her arms around Mia.

"Thank you for being there for Char. I know I have had some resentment towards you, and I threatened you when you and Char had your fallout, but I appreciate you. I may not always show it. Thank you for looking after my sweetheart." Mia said.
"Of course Mia. Charlotte is my family, and now you are too." Marjorie said, rubbing Mias back.
"I best be going, I'm going to name and shame this man." Mia broke the hug and smirked.
"Bye Mia!" Marjorie laughed.

Reece waved to Mia, and watched as the women pulled out of the driveway.

"I feel awful for Charlotte. She was my first friend at the nursery and I've never felt so helpless." Marjorie sighed, looking down at the floor.
"You're not helpless. You sat with Charlotte the whole night. You helped her. Mia can handle him physically, and if needed, I will help." Reece pulled Marjorie in for a hug.
"Thank you darling." Marjorie smiled into his chest. "I'm assuming you told Autumn so she's on standby too?"
"Correct. I texted her when you got out of the car to get Charlotte. She's ready to pounce." Reece said, laughing.
"I'm thankful for the both of you." Marjorie kissed Reece. "I know it's killing you not to attack Adam right now."
"Yeah. I figured I would let Mia handle this one." Reece replied, holding Marjorie tight.
