The meeting...

TW: this contains talk of mental health struggles, and includes panic attacks

(Reece's pov)

I don't think I can do today. It all just feels so heavy. Of course, on the day I have a meeting with the board. I can't.
"Morning baby." Marjorie whispers, leaning in and kissing me.
"Hi gorgeous."
"You alright? I know today is going to be hard for you." she says, and I just let out a sigh. "I know baby. But I'll be there in the meeting, and so I can sit as close to you as you want, for comfort?"
"Thanks gorgeous. You have to go in to work for now though. You still have to work half the day, then you are meeting me there for about 2:30?" I question and she nods.
"Yeah. I wish I don't have to go in today. But at least it's only a half day." she says, climbing out of bed and getting dressed. "I don't want to be late now. So I'm gonna go, I'll see you outside his office, for about half 2. I love you." she says, coming back over to me and giving me a kiss.
"I love you too."
She walks out and I hear the front door close, and her car leave the driveway. I let out a breath I didn't even know I had been holding. I can't face my dad today, I feel too low. I stay in bed, tucking myself back under the duvet, this is where I want to stay, everything doesn't feel as heavy here.

(Marjorie's pov)

I get to work, and am greeted by Autumn and Winter sat in the office.
"Ah good morning Marjorie." Winter greets me.
"Hiya Winter, you alright?"
"Yes, I was wondering if I could have a word outside?" He questions, to which Autumn looks up, raising an eyebrow.
"Uh yes of course. Be back in a moment Autumn."

"You okay Winter?" I ask, and he leads me further down the hallway.
"I can't risk my sweet hearing this." He says, pulling me around a corner.
"Winter?"
"You know how the nursery is closing early because of this meeting. I need you to look after Autumn. This meeting has got her worried, but she doesn't want anyone to know. So please, keep an eye on her, I mean I'm sure Reece is worrying too." he says, raising an eyebrow.
"I only saw Reece for a matter of minutes this morning, but I think so. I'll look after her, don't you worry Winter. I'll see you when we close, I'm assuming you are going to drive Autumn and wait?" I say, and he nods.
"See you later Marjorie." He says, walking over to the baby room.

I head back to the office, and Autumn raises her head.
"What did he want?" she questions.
"Oh nothing, just some stuff about the rooms." I lie, and she picks up on it, but doesn't push further.

Over the day, I keep glancing at Autumn, finding her in different emotions.
At some points she is just her normal self, not really letting anything slip.
Then she has the few moments when she is smiling, smiling down at her phone. I assume Winter is texting her, but it's still nice to see.
Then you get the feeling rare moments, when I catch a single tear, or just her sniffling. They really break my heart, because I can't comfort her in the way I want to, as she doesn't like the physical touch.
"Autumn." I say, and she turns to face me.
"You okay?"
"Yeah, why wouldn't I be?" She questions.
"Just ya know. The whole meeting. Seeing as it is close now, as the nursery is closed." I say, and she sighs.
"I'm as ready as I can be. Is Reece okay? I know these meetings are particularly hard for him, and now he is seeing father after he married you. Which I know is going to get under father's skin, and he's going to dig deep into you and Reece."
"I never thought about that. I mean the fact that we are now married. I think he is okay, I saw him briefly before I left this morning, He's meeting me at Roger's office for half two. Just ten minutes before the meeting." I explain and she nods her head.
"Okay, just keep an eye out, he may-" she starts but then Winter walks in.
"Hello my sweet."
"Winter." I say, slightly annoyed.
"My love. Shall we go get some lunch, before the meeting?" she says, smirking at him then walking out.
"Definitely, I know what that grin means." he says, practically running after her.
