A/N: this carries on from the end of Bug (i've put the end bit of the last one as the starting paragraph for this one)

(Reece's pov)

"Hey baby." she whispers, placing her hands over mine.
"Hey gorgeous. I can't believe we have a daughter now." I whisper back.
"I know. She is perfect. I love you."
"I love you too." I respond, kissing the side of her head. "Let's go get something to eat." I say, and she nods, as we both turn around, and head downstairs.

Marjorie takes her usual seat on top of the kitchen counter, and I start rummaging through the cupboards.
"What do you fancy baby?" I ask her, turning around to find her scrolling on my phone.
"Darling your phone is so boring, do you not have TikTok?" she responds, and I just laugh.
"No love, I don't. I don't see the need for it. What do you fancy for dinner?" I say, moving towards her, standing in between her legs, taking the phone out of her hands and place it down on the counter.
"Oh.... uhm.... do we have any pizzas left in the freezer?" she asks, and I nod. "Oooh okay. Can we have that?"
"Of course we can gorgeous." I say, leaning in to kiss her lips, trying to pull away, but she wraps her hands around the back of my head, pulling me back in. I manage to pull away moments later, mainly for air.
"I've missed you." she mumbles, pulling me in for a hug.
"I've been with you pretty much the whole day." I say, laughing.
"Yeah, but we haven't kissed like properly the whole day, I mean, we had like heat of the moment quick kisses, but not like that one, that one was just full of passion and love. I just missed it." she mumbles into my shoulder.
"Fair enough. Right, you need to let me go if you want food." I say, gently tapping her thigh, and she does, and I make my way into the freezer, digging around to find the pizza.

"Mama!" a small voice calls out from upstairs, before we hear crying.
I stop what I'm doing, and turn around, looking to Marjorie, who is looking back at me, but zoned out.
"Marj?" I say, standing up, closing the freezer, and walking over to her. "Baby?" I question, placing a hand on her cheek, which seems to snap her out of her daze.
"Sorry. I should probably go up there." she says, jumping off the counter, and rushing upstairs.

(Marjorie's pov)

I rush upstairs, desperate to get to my child, but also to get away from that awkward interaction, that Reece will probably bring up later.
I open the door to Ceci's room, and find her sitting up in her bed, crying her eyes out.
"Hey bug." I say, as I switch a gentle warm light on.
"Mama." she whimpers out, making grabby hands at me. I swiftly make my way to her bed, sitting on the edge of it, and pulling her into an embrace.
"It's okay, mamas got you." I whisper to her, gently rubbing up and down her back, whilst her small hands loosely rest around my neck.
Once she is calmer, I decide to try my luck.
"Shall we get you back into bed bug?" I ask, and feel her shake her head.
"No. Me want you mama." she mumbles out.
"Okay bug. Shall we go downstairs, maybe find papa?" I question, deciding not to push her to go to sleep just yet, she did have a nap earlier, which could explain why she isn't tired now.
"Papa!" she squeals excitedly.
"Inside voices bug." I remind her, standing up, and walking out the room.
We reach the top of the stairs, and she starts squirming around in my arms. I back away from the top, and lift her face to look at mine.
"Hey bug, you can either walk down the stairs with me, or stop squirming in my arms?" I give her the choice, gently kissing her nose.
"Mama." she responds with.
"Okay, be a good girl and stay still." I say, and she does, as we safely get down the stairs.

We walk towards the kitchen when she places her hands on my chest, and pushed gently.
"Bug?"
"Me want to walk." she says.
"Of course my girl. Let me place you down." I say, gently placing her down on the floor, facing her to the kitchen. "Papa is in there." I whisper into her ear, and she nods, before walking in that direction.
I pull out my phone, and film her walking, and then manage to film when Reece sees her, and he swoops down and picks her up, almost flying her about, whilst she squeals.
"Papa!" she squeals out, giggling the whole time.
I stop my phone recording now, placing it in my back pocket, before leaning up against the doorframe, and can feel tears in my eyes, just watching the two interact.
