*Emily*
[Warning: one angry mama]
It's been a few months since the incident. Things are starting to go back to normal. All of them are excited as it gets colder and closer to Christmas.
All of them have been seeing mental health specialists to get better. Me and Damon come to every session, we don't always sit in the room but we never leave the building incase we are needed. I have also started taking sessions to help with my anxiety on leaving my babies alone.
For the first time in ages all our littles slept in their own beds and I can already see us as a family improving for the better. I have been taking a lot of time off work and have become a stay at home mama. Damon works more but it means our income stays about the same as it was before.
I woke up slowly, "ready..." Ready for what? "Steadyyyy" I sit up to try and see what's goin- "GO" the dog leaps on me followed by Riley laughing. "Morning mommy" he says with a mischievous smile. The dog is lovingly shoved off the bed by me to see the gremlin looking at me with a cheeky smile.
"Come here you, you think you can do that to mommy and get away with it" I say getting out of bed quickly. Riley squeals and runs off with me chasing him and the dog bounding by us excitedly. I can already tell it's gonna be one of those days where Riley is a little gremlin.
That's when I heard the loud bang sound. I run downstairs to see the insides of my brand new microwave covered in porridge. And a guilty looking Russo standing right beside it.
"I didn't even mean too... Promise" Russo says looking at me worriedly. I sigh softly but give him a hug rubbing his back gently.
"It's okay baby you didn't mean too." And then a smash comes from my hallway... I slowly get up and see the broken vase on the floor with Riley and Chase running upstairs. "That boy" I mutter.
I gently pick up all the broken vase and put it in the bin. This would not be the first time that little gremlin has broken something in this house and doubt it will be the last...
"Daddy?" Leah calls out as she walks down the stairs. She looks tired and upset. I can see the bags under her eyes as she rubs them gently.
"Daddy is at work princess" I explain gently. She raises one sleepy arm and I pick her up. I feel something odd as I hold her. She has just gone back to wearing underwear to bed so I assumed it might be an accident but no it was blood.
Russo freaked out but I'm not ready to explain a period to a minor. I told Russo to sit in the front room and have a sippy cup of water. Of course I had to clean Leah so I took her upstairs and wiped her down before putting her in pull up's.
"Momma I don't need these. I'm a big girl" Leah whines but she has a lot of accidents when she is on her period so I don't want to risk it.
"I know baby but it's just to be safe." Which she didn't like at all. Someone ended up sitting in time out for five minutes to calm down after they threw a tantrum.
"Mama" Russo tugged on my shirt.
"Yes darling" I ask him softly as I was trying to message Damon.
"What's sex?" Oh god. Where did he hear that word?!
"Where did you hear that baby" I ask him nervously. He shrugs his shoulder which is just typical. "Well sex is a very special relationship cuddle"
"Do mama and Dada do sex?" That follow up question caught me by surprise... I look at him for a few seconds not sure what to say...
"Erm. Well it's....... Secret. Yeah, it's a secret." I say nodding in agreement with myself.
"Okay mama. Uppies?" He asks sweetly reaching his arms up. I pick him up and he nuzzles into my neck.
"Is daddy home yet" Leah asks me for the millionth time. I feel myself starting to lost my temper. I look at the clock, he will be home soon. "Mommy? Is daddy home yettttt?"
"no baby he isn't yet why don't you make a picture for him" I say in the sweetest tone I can muster.
"But I don't want too, I want daddy to be home mommy" Leah whines at my feet. Sitting herself on my foot so I can't move as she starts to scream and kick her legs angrily about her daddy not being home.
"Leah stop it please" I say with a slightly stern tone. She doesn't care she keeps going and I feel myself really reaching then end of my rope.
And I see red as soon as I notice out the corner of my eye, Riley taking his felt tips to my brand new walls.
"RILEY DAYMEN" he drops the pen and spins to look at me and Leah goes dead quiet. "What the hell do you think your doing?" I ask him as Leah moves off my foot. I quickly put Russo down on the couch and walk right up to Riley.
"W-well i-i w-w-was... Erm" I can feel the scowl on my face.
"I am going to clean this and you can go stand in your naughty corner in your room. Don't move, speak or try to convince me not too." I say in a Huff. He scurries upstairs and I wash up my walls that are now forever stained green, blue, yellow and red.
Just as I stand up I hear the door open and close. "Sweetheart?" Damon's voice calls out. Leah is the first to run to him. "Not yet princess. Mommy gets the first hug" he says, looking at me and my stained walls he helps me up and hugs me tightly. "Want me to deal with it while you take a nice warm bath?" he asks rubbing my back gently.
"Yes please, I'm so tired" I hug him back. He hugs Leah and goes upstairs to deal with Riley. I go upstairs later and run myself a bath, after taking a long bath Riley comes in (she has a towel on).
"I sorey mama fo witing on ou walls" Riley sniffles and cries out. His glass eyes making my heart melt, this is why I can't punish him. He is too cute.
"Mama forgives you little dove" I assure him.
"Now go and do your lines" Damon says and Riley Marches put the room. Damon walks in the room and kisses my head before going and getting dressed into comfier clothes. "So how are you feeling now gorgeous?"
"Better" I sigh out laying on the bed in my towel to dry off.
