The story of us// baby bundle

Reece was sat on the couch cuddling Niamh, watching nova spend time with his mum. He did love her, but the memories of her leaving always came back. It was like a warning that she shouldn't be here.

He heard the front door unlock, looking down the hallway to see Marjorie coming home from work.

"Hey gorgeous." He smiled at her, watching as she came through to the living room.
"Hey ba-." She stopped talking when she saw Reece mum, looking out for blood.
"You okay love?" He asked, seeing her randomly stop talking.
"Reece can I talk to you a second?" Marjorie said to him, her voice laced in frustration. Reece agreed and followed her upstairs.

She locked the door behind them, glaring at Reece.

"Do you remember what that woman did?" She asked, angry at him. He sighed, knowing this was bound to come. He did remember what she had done in the past, especially to him and aut, but it was kind of his fault for telling her about that.

Well, Mia told her that after a panic attack about her mum.

5 years ago- mia and Marjorie:

"So sweetheart, what has your mum been saying?" The means red head asked.

"She keeps talking about how she's 'sorry' and she 'wants to be back in my life' I don't want to be near her Mia, she's awful." Marjorie told her.

"I know how it is marj, Reece also has terrible parents. Manily his dad." Mia sighed.
"I know Roger's bad, but how bad is he?" Marjorie questioned.

Let me tell you a story from his past." Mia said.

The day their childhood ended:

Autumn, Reece, and Mia were all sitting on the lounge, when Reece and autumns mum came rushing in.

"I'm so sorry babies, I can't be here anymore." She said, her face stained with blood.

"Mum what happened?" Reece asked.
"Reeceyyy." young autumn said.
"One minute aut." he said, giving her a soft smile.
"Mum, answer me!"
"I-." before she could say anything else, roger walked into the room.
"Mia! Take Aut and go somewhere, anywhere!" reece demanded.

Mia took autumn to a place in the park, it was a small cabin which they'd found a few years ago. There was a little cave behind it, hidden with vines and trees.
"Where's reecey?" autumn asked. She was only six, she couldn't know the horrorifying truth. 

"He'll be here soon aut. It's okay, I've got you princess." Mia cooded, planting a kiss on autumns head.

It had been hours when reece finally arrived. His hair was matted with blood, his face was covered in bruises, and his jumper was ripped.

"Reece!" Mia whispered careful not to disturb the sleeping autumn in her arms.
"Hey Amelia. I'm so sorry you had to witness me like this." he whispered back.
"What happened?" she questioned.

"They got into a fight and I tried to stop him hurting mum. Then he started hurting me. I was calling out for her, but she never came back. Thank you for protecting aut for me." he smiled.
"Of course, she's been calling out for you." Mia told him.
"God, I feel so bad for her. She's only six." Reece sighed.
"I know reecey. Don't blame yourself for this. "
"I won't, thank you again."
"Anytime." Mia smiled back.
——————————-

"I know, I know. But she seems to be getting better." Reece told her.

Marjorie's eyes winded and she looked gobsmacked. Her mouth was slightly agape as she looked at him, her arms crossed over her chest.

"I will not have that woman around my children Reece!" She exclaimed, pointing to the living room.

She rolled her eyes, walking out the room while saying,
"You're obviously not taking this seriously."
Reece pulled her back by the arm, bringing her into a bruising kiss.

When they pulled away, Marjorie looked at him with a bit of confusion but she also looked slightly flustered.

"Don't leave..." Reece said.
