Bug (Part 5)

(Marjorie's pov)

"Here Marj, take her now, I'm going to leave to meet Mia and Aut now," Reece passes me Ceci, kissing us both on the forehead.
"Okay, come here baby girl," I grab her from his arms.
"No, no! Me want daddy! No mummy." Ceci pushes against my chest, trying to get out my arms. She has really grown since being with us. She has started calling us mummy and daddy instead of mama and papa, and she certainly fights back now.
She is also attached to Reece a lot. She hates when he leaves, nursery handovers have gotten harder.
"Baby, daddy needs to leave to go see auntie Mimi and Autie," I tell her, holding her tighter so she doesn't jump from my arms.
"No! I want him! Please," she cries, burying her head into my shoulder as she sobs.
'Now Reece,' I mouth to him, and watch as he silently leaves.

"Mummy," she sniffles.
"Mummy's here baby girl. Shall we go sit down?"
"No. Mummy lie in bed? Me with mummy?" She sniffs, looking up at me with teary eyes.
"Of course baby." I kiss her cheek, walking us to mine and Reece's bed, knowing she likes to sleep on Reece's side when he goes out.
"Daddy?" Ceci asks.
"He's going to come home later I promise. For now let's go lie down and watch something," I tell her as I put her down on Reece's side of the bed, climbing in on my side.
"Bluey?"
"Of course my girl."

I flick on the tv, finding some bluey to put on. It is her newfound obsession, she can't get enough of it.
"Bluey!!" She squeals, clapping her hands as she nestles into my side.
I smile down at her, my heart bursting with love at the sight of my daughter cuddled up into my side, squealing with laughter.

I get a text on my phone, from Reece.
   Reecey - Has she settled yet? Are you okay? Do I need to just come home? Xx
I smile at the text, he would drop his whole life for our little family. I quickly respond.
    - Hey babe. No she is settled. We are in bed watching bluey now, she's squealing her little heart out. It's all good, enjoy the time with Mia and Aut. Love you. Xxx
   Reecey - Okay. I'll be home in a hour or two. Love you too. Xxx

"Daddy?" I hear Ceci mumble next to me.
I look down to see her looking at my phone.
"No it was auntie Char. Should mummy go get us some snacks?" I lie to her, it's not what I wanted to do, I just don't want her to start crying and get upset again.
"Auntie Char? She coming? Me want apple!" She claps her hands.
"Okay sweet girl. Can mummy trust you to stay up here for a minute?"
"Yes," she says, nodding her head enthusiastically.
"Okay. Be a good girl. I will be back in a few minutes, love you." I kiss the top of her head again, ruffling her hair before walking down the stairs.

I quickly scroll to one specific contact, ringing her.
"Hey Marj."
"Hey Char. I hope I haven't caught you at a bad time," I say, simultaneously cutting up the apple for Ceci.
"No you haven't. I'm just chilling at home since Mia's gone out," she replies.
"Okay. This might be a lot to ask, but would you mind coming over here now? Ceci was super upset when Reece left, and I got her to calm down. But we were just texting, and Ceci asked if it was him, and I lied so she didn't kick off, and said it was you. I think she thinks you're coming over now. So I know it's my fault for lying to my baby, but I would really love for you to come over," I explain to her, finishing cutting up the snack for my daughter.
"Of course I can. I was getting bored over here on my own, there is nothing on TV anyway. I'll be over there in about ten?"
"Thanks so much Char. Oh you're a life saver. I owe you one seriously."
"No problem Marj. See you in a bit," she says, hanging up the phone.

I put my phone back into the pocket of my joggers, before quickly finishing up in the kitchen.
I walk back upstairs, a weird feeling in my stomach when I can't hear anything coming from the bedroom.
"Ceci?" Nothing. Normally she screams where she is when I call her.
I open the bedroom door, thankful when I can just breathe a sigh of relief. She had just fallen asleep on the remote, turning the TV off.
"Oh baby," I laugh, placing the food down on the bedside table.

I pick up Ceci, standing still as she silently readjusts herself in my arms.
I carry her to her bedroom, tucking her up in bed. I quickly nip back to our room, grabbing one of Reece's t-shirts. I get back to Ceci, and tuck the t-shirt next to her, knowing this will keep her settled.
I go back to the bedroom, grabbing the snacks and taking it downstairs, putting it in a container for later.
Just then I hear a knock on the door. I go and open it, seeing Char smiling back at me.

"Hey Char," I smile, stepping aside to let her in.
"Hey Marj."
"Thanks so much for this." I pull her into a hug.
"No worries at all, I was hating the silence without Mia."
"One thing. Ceci has fallen asleep. I won't let her nap for long, but I do think she needs some sleep," I tell her, as we both walk to the sofa, sitting down.
"That's cool. I'm also just happy to see you. We barely ever get to see each other out of the nursery," she says.
"I know right? Although I wish it was when I didn't look such a mess," I laugh.
"You don't honestly. I think you've never looked better," she laughs.
"Yeah yeah. As if." I roll my eyes, before hearing footsteps behind us.

"Mummy?" I turn my head, seeing Ceci stood at the bottom of the stairs, clutching onto Reece's t-shirt.
"You okay baby?"
"Miss daddy," her voice wobbles, her bottom lip shaking.
"Come around here my sweet girl," I say, gesturing for her. She comes running around the sofa, climbing up onto my lap. "You okay my little love?"
"Miss him," she cries, burying her head in my chest.
"I know you do, but he'll be back later okay? And when he does come home in a bit, you can give him the biggest hug. But for now baby, who's sat next to mummy?" She lifts her head, turning it slightly to the wrong side. "Wrong side sweet," I say, slightly turning her chin to the other side.
"Auntie Char?" she questions.
"Hi angel."
"Auntie Char!" She jumps into Char's arms, wrapping her small arms around her neck.
"Oh, hi there," Char is taken by surprise when Ceci jumps on her.
"Where Mimi?" Ceci looks up at Char.
"Mimi isn't here right now."
"Oh, otay. Mummy, me play?" Ceci looks at me.
"Of course baby. Go play," I smile at her, watching as she climbs off Char's lap and runs upstairs.

*

Me and Char are just sitting and chatting when we hear keys in the door. Mia and Reece walk through the door, bickering.
"Reecey stop. I'm right, you're wrong."
"No Mi. I'm right, stop lying to yourself," Reece responds back.
Me and Char look at each other, rolling our eyes as we wait for them to get over it and finally come find us.
"Hey gorgeous," Reece says as he finally walks into the living room.
"Hey love." I stand up, walking over to him and wrapping him in a hug.
"Hey baby," we hear Mia say to Char as she sits down next to her and Char pulls her into a hug as well.

"How is the little bug?" Reece asks.
"She ran upstairs like an hour ago to play. I should have gone to check on her really, I just lost track of time. Ceci!" I shout out, waiting a second before hearing little footsteps.
"Mummy!" She shouts back as she comes down the stairs.
We watch as she comes plodding into the living room, looking up at us. It takes her a good minute or so to actually register it.
"Hey bug." Reece smiles at her, opening his arms as he crouches down.
"Daddy!" she squeals, running into his arms fast, Reece not expecting it and I have to stop them both from tumbling back.
"Hey my girl."
"Missed you daddy." We all hear her cry into his shoulder as he stands back up.
"It's okay. I missed you too," he tells her, softly rubbing up and down his back.

"Who knew big Reecey was so soft?" Mia smirks from the sofa. Ceci lifts her head at the sound of her voice.
"Mimi!" she squeals, and Reece puts her down as she runs towards her, jumping into her lap.
"Hey monkey," Mia says, holding her tight.
Those two have become so close. I can still remember when they first met, Ceci hid in Charlottes neck away from her. Now Ceci constantly asks when 'her Mimi' is coming over.
"Love Mimi," Ceci mumbles.
"Love you too monkey."
"Who knew the mean redhead would be soft?" Reecey laughs, earning himself a death glare from Mia.
"Only for this one."

A/N: Hiiii my lovelies. I hope this one was okay, this was a requested one and I actually really loved writing it. Again I hope it's okay, I'm also really tired as I'm finishing it so sorry if the ending of it is weird, I tried my best.
Also, requests are always welcome in the comments as I have reached the end of the list I had and now don't know what to write.
Anyways, I'll see you in the next one whenever that shall be, love you all, look after yourselves <33333
