My Heart (danisnotonfire fanfic sequel)

6 - Mum? - Blossom

"Don't eat that!" I warn, tugging a glue stick away from Reece's mouth. "Dan, can you help!" Ellie wanted to make a card for Taylor for her birthday, but it's going very wrong. I hear Dan running down the stairs.
"That's really good Ellie!" Dan smiles.
"Thank you, Daddy." Ellie giggles.
"I'm gonna make some food, Daddy will look after you." I say.
"Okay, mama." Reece puts his hands in the paint. I roll my eyes and stand up as Dan panics and lifts his hands outs.

I turn the camera on and sit next to Ellie on my bed.
"Ready?" I ask.
"Yes!" Ellie cheers.
"Okay. Three... Two... One... Hello, people of the internet! Today, I have another 'Ellie Time'!"
"Hello!" Ellie squeals.
"Okay, Ellie, do you want another brother or sister?" I read.
"I want a little sister, Reece is annoying." Ellie pouts. "Where do babies come from?" I turn red and laugh.
"You wish very hard and hold hands with your loved one." I make up. Ellie hold my hand and squeezes her eye shut. I look at the camera and laugh silently. "Ellie, you have to marry the person you want to have a baby with."
"But you and Daddy weren't married when you wished for me."
"But we were in love."
"So are we!" Ellie reasons.
"Yes we are." I tickle Ellie's stomach and she laughs very loud. "Dan and I have thought about it, but we don't know when." I admit. "Ellie, splat cream on your dads face."
"Come on then!" Ellie giggles. I take the camera and follow Ellie downstairs. I set it down as I get a paper plate down and put a load of cream on it. I quietly hand Ellie the plate. Dan is in his office, filming a gaming video. Ellie opens the door and walks behind him. She's just short enough for the camera to not film her. Ellie reaches up and slaps the cream into Dan's face. He screams and turns around. When he sees Ellie he tickle her and Ellie laughs. I laugh and walk closer and film Dan's face.
"You guys are evil!" He laughs.
"Yup!" Ellie giggles, escaping from his grip. Dan stands up and pecks my lips, but he removes some cream from his face and smothers mine.
"Ew, Dan!" I turn the camera around to show my pouting face.
"I'm sorry." Dan laughs. He kisses me lightly and marches out of the room. Ellie runs back to my bedroom. I follow her and put the camera back. I run to the bathroom and hop in the shower with Dan.

"Thanks for watching guys!" Ellie and I wave at the camera before I switch it off. She marches of downstairs while I start to edit the video.

A few minutes later, the door bell rings. I click upload before running down the stairs. Reece and Ellie race to the door and wait for me to open it. As I do, my eyes widen.

It's my mum...

I push the kids back and out of view.
"Hello, Blossom." She smiles warmly.
"What are you doing here?" I ask, feeling sick.
"I wanted to visit you." She says.
"Mummy, who is it?" Ellie asks. I heart sinks.
"Hold on a second, Hun." I whisper.
"Who's that?"
"No one!" I snap.
"Blossom?" Dan asks. "What are you doing here?" He growls.
"I wanted to see my daughter!" My mum says plainly.
"Dan, take the kids upstairs." I whisper.
"What?" She asks. Luckily you can't see the stairs from the door.
"Nothing." I insist.
"Can I come in?" She doesn't wait for an answer before pushing past me. "Right then, Blossom Ann Wills..." Mum starts.
"It's Howell now, I'm married." I say through gritted teeth.
"Oh, for how long?"
"Just over six years."
"Okay." Mum mutters. She sits down. I hear pattering of feet. Ellie enters the room and runs to me with Reece, then Dan, following her. He shoots me an apologetic look.
"Mummy, who is that?" Ellie asks.
"You have kids?"
"Don't worry, sweetheart." I say.
"How old are they?"
"Seven and four." I answer.
"So you had her before you were married." I start to shake. I nod, trying not to anger her. She's a schizophrenic, and even when she was on her medicine, she gets angry. Dan takes the kids out of the lounge. My mum shuts the door and smiles evilly at me. Somehow, I manage to switch on the voice memos app and click record. "You know what I think about sex before marriage."
"I was 20, I was an adult." I reason.
"You still weren't married."
"You can't control me anymore!" I try to inch towards the door.
"Slut, whore, dirty." Her schizophrenia is coming out.
"No." I whisper, tears pricking at my eyes.
"You need to be punished." My mum laughs hysterically.
"No!" I yell. She slaps me, throwing me against the wall. I scream and cry as memories from my childhood return.

Mum bursts into my room. I drop my dolls. Isabelle tries to stop her, but mum throws her out of the room. I try to hide, but my mum grabs my ankle and pulls me back. She slaps my hands, stomach and face. She punches my hips and shoulders.

"Stop!" I scream as she punches my stomach. I hear the front door open, then the lounge door. As my mum is pulled off of me, I fall to the floor. Hands catch me and pull me to their chest. I look up and see police dragging my mum away. I look up at who caught me; it was Dan. I cry into his chest.

"What did you do to cause her to get angry?" A police officer asks.
"Nothing. I told her that I had my first child before I was married." I answer. "Oh, I managed to take a voice memo." I remember. I pass my phone to her with the voice memo playing.
"I need to take this in as evidence. Is that okay?" The officer asks. I nod and take the passcode off of it.

"Issy, mum knows where I live." I say as my sister picks up her phone. I'm calling off of Dan's phone.
"What?" Issy's panicked voice asks.
"She barged into here and hit me before the police came."
"I'm coming over." She says. I glance in the mirror. My cheek is purple.
"Okay." Issy hangs up. I sigh and sit on the bed. Running my hands through my hair, I start to cry.
"Hey, it's okay. I'll make sure she doesn't come back." Dan reassures me, rubbing my back.
