Rar idk I needed to start it off xoxo

Reece was taking care of the girls today as Marjorie was in work, as normal. The three of them were just trying to get through the day, with the twins being sick, Reece had a lot of stress on him. First it was nova whining, then it was Niamh whining, but he didn't mind. He just wanted to make sure they'd get better.

They both soon fell asleep on the couch, cuddled up next to eachother. Reece threw a blanket over them, tucking them in before giving both girl a kiss on the cheek. He felt their foreheads, trying to see if they were still as warm as they had been the last week, luckily, they weren't.

He heard a loud knock on the door, causing the girls to stir.

"It's okay loves, I'll be back in a minute." He said, kissing them both again.

Reece walked downstairs, opening the front door. A tall, slim woman stood at the door, blonde hair that was put up into a pony tail, pale skin, and similar features to Reece.
"Hello, can I help you?" Reece asked.
"I don't know, can you?" The woman said cheerfully.

He rolled his eyes at her.
"I'll ask you again, can I help you?" She looked at him, gobsmacked. Reece raised an eyebrow to her, wondering what she was here for.
"You do not recognise me do you?" She said to him. Reece took a closer look, realising who it was.

"Mum?"
"Hey baby. I've missed you." The woman smiled.

Reece looked dumbfounded, he was lost at words. The last time she visited was when Marjorie was pregnant with the twins...

Flashback:

You're a bit chunky aren't you?" She laughed.

"Watch it. One, she's not chunky, she's perfect. Two, she's actually pregnant so drop it before I drag you out the house by the scruff of your neck."

"Anyways, I'd like to just say sorry for all these years. I want to get to know you better now you're an adult." She smiled.

"You? Get to know me? That's funny." Reece replied.
"I'm serious Reece, I want to get to know you." His mum responded, looking apologetic.

"Aut was 6 and I was 8, you left his with a monster. You knew he was a monster. Do you know what you leaving has done to me and aut?when you left, I couldn't even say 'I love you' to anyone again, I've only now just been able to say it because of therapy. As for aut, she needed a mother, heck even a sister. I could never deal with boys or periods or anything like that. Roger didn't care about us, I was there when you weren't. You promised us you'd come back. You promised. But you never did, and I'll never forgive you for that. If you think you can just apologise and anything will go back to normal, you're wrong. You were the only person I could trust, and you still lied. You lied about everything. You knew what it was like for us growing up. We never had anyone to hold our hand and say it was okay. Especially me. Who was there for autumn when she was sick? Who was there when she got her first period? Who was there when she needed someone? No, not Elizabeth, a little boy who didn't know how to take care of himself, let alone his little sister because he didn't have a mum to teach him how to do that, and I also never had a dad. You know, our childhood ended for good that day. When you ran away, that's when our childhood ended. As I said before, I'll never forgive you for that." When Reece was done, his eyes were glistening with tears.

Marjorie was frozen to the spot. She'd never seen Reece so angry and hurt.

"Reece, I'm so sorry. I didn't know you felt that way." She said.
"Yes you did, don't try lie about it." Reece scoffed.
"I did want to be there, I promise you!" She scolded him.
"You were never fucking there, you left!" Reece shouted.

It really scared Marjorie seeing him like this, but his mum deserved it.

"I had no choice!" She shouted back.
"you did have a choice!" Reece said.
"This is why I left, because of you Reece! Not autumn, not Mia, not your dad. You!"
Her words stung reece, everyone told him for years it wasn't his fault, but it was after all. He was right. She did hate him.

"Get out my house." Reece whispered.
"What?" She asked.
"I said get out of my house!" Reece shouted at her.

She left the house and Reece burst into tears. Marjorie immediately wrapped her arms around his neck, sitting on his lap. He wrapped his arms around her and hid his face in her shoulder.

"I'm sorry." He managed to get out.
"It's not your fault baby, it's not your fault." Marjorie comforted him.

She heard his breathing slow down, before noticing he was asleep. She gave him a kiss and felt her eyes start to get heavy. Falling asleep with him.

Present day:

"I know we ended on bad terms Reece, just let me see my child, and now I hear grandchildren" she whispered to him softly.
"How did you-." Reece started. It then clicked.

The spy...

"My dad told you didn't he?" Reece asked. His mum smiled at him, looking apologetic.
"Yes he did. But please Reece." She said.

Reece huffed, letting her inside the house.

She walked into the living room, seeing nova and Niamh asleep together.
"They're beautiful." She said.
"Mhm, they have got Marjorie as a mum so that's why." Reece replied, smiling at the thought of Marjorie.

Nova began to stir, rubbing her eyes.
"Daddy?" She said sleepily.
"What's up baby?" Reece asked, picking her up.
"Who's that?" She asked, pointing at her.

"That's your nana love." Reece told her.
"Nana Lizzy?" His mums face lit up at the fact the kids knew who she was.
"The one you talked about!" Nova asked excitedly. She smiled, realising Reece had talked about her and the kids seemed to love her.

"Yes hun." Reece told her, putting her down which she immediately ran to Elizabeth.

She felt nova hang onto her leg, beaming up at her. She smiled back at the little girl, picking her up.

"Hello little one." She said with a smile.
"Hello! I'm nova!" Nova excitedly told her, kissing her cheek.

Reece smiled softly at them, walking over to his mum and Niamh.

He couldn't lie, they were really cute together.

Just like autumn and his mum at novas age...
