The story of us// baby bundle

Pt.15

Reece thought about what autumn said. He didn't want to tell Marjorie the full truth yet. Given everything that's happened this past week.

He knew autumn would make him tell her one way or another.

What if Marjorie just laughs in his face, what if she leaves him? No, she wouldn't do that. Not after seven years, right?
————————

"Oh god." Autumn said, walking into the living room.
"They've turned me into a princess apparently." Winter laughed.

The girls had put makeup on his face, bows in his hair, and stickers all along his jumper.

"You look gorgeous." Autumn smiled, walking over to him.
"You've said that twice!" Nova exclaimed.
"I just want to make sure he knows!"
"Okayyyy." Nova said sheepishly.

"Your turn!" Niamh dragged her over into the couch, nova beginning to cover her in stickers like she did winter.
"Good luck my love." Winter said, walking to the other side of the room.
"Winter, bit of help please!" Autumn said.

"If I had to do it, you have to do it." Winter laughed.

Marjorie began to stir, although, Reece didn't even notice he was that lost in thought.

Marjorie's eyes fluttered open, the light hitting them perfectly.

"My boy, are you okay?" Marjorie asked, kissing Reece on the cheek.
"I'm fine gorgeous, just got a bit lost in thought for a moment." He smiled, kissing her back.

"Are you sure? Is there something you want to talk about?" She asked again, sitting up.

"I mean, there is one thing." Reece sighed.

Marjorie took one of his hands in hers, resting her head on his shoulder.
"What is it?"

Reece stayed silent for a while, thinking of what to say.

"Before I say anything." He started. "You promise you'll look at me the same?" He questioned her?

"Nothing will ever change the way I feel about you. Unless you killed someone." She laughed.

"This is all autumns idea to tell you this, but lately, I've not been eating properly. You've probably not noticed it, which I don't blame you for, but autumn did. Every year, at a specific time, this has always happened. It's the time of year our mum left us. I've just never told you because I was scared you'd look at me differently. I was worried you'd leave me. Saying that out loud now just sounds stupid. I know you wouldn't leave me, but somethings telling me there's a possibility you would. I know none of this is your problem, and I didn't want to tell you any of this. As I said before, autumn made me do it. None of this is probably making any sense but, I just hope you get what I mean. I tried to get autumn to tell you this, but she told me I needed to do it myself." Reece finished what he was talking about and turned to face Marjorie, who was looking at him apologetically.

"I'm so sorry you had to go through that by yourself my love, you can talk to me about anything. I'll never leave you and I'll never look at you differently. I just want you to feel safe."

Marjorie wrapped her arms around his neck, kneeling on his lap, Reece's head was buried into her shoulder.

"Thank you." He mumbled.
"It's fine my boy, please don't ever feel like you have to go through that alone." She told him.

They both just sat there, melting into eachothers touch, soon falling asleep with one and other.

Exactly like they did when liv got her claws into them.
