Snow Angel Reborn(sequel to snow angel)

Father

Roman and I had decided to take Hope to his parents for the week, so we could go and confront my father. I needed to have closure with him, and get it through his thick head that he would never be welcome anywhere near anyone I loved. As we drove to the Wyatt homestead, Dean, Seth, Courtnee, and Amy, were following in a separate vehicle. I felt horrible leaving our daughter with his parents, I was wishing we had kept our Babygirl with us. Roman looked over at me and said, "You missing Babygirl too? We will see her soon babe. Right now she's safer where she is."
"I know, this is the longest I've been away from her since that night."
"I know, are you sure you want to do this?"
I nodded, as we pulled up in front of the house. My father was standing on the porch, flanked by Luke and Erick. As we got out, Roman immediately took my hand, pulling me into him. Before we went up onto the porch he said, "No matter what happens, remember that I will always love you, and that you, Hope and our baby, are my entire world."
She smiled up at me, and kissed me lightly, "As you three are mine."
"Boy, get your ass up here, I owe you one hell of a beating for the way you spoke to me last time."
"You will not touch him, or anyone of us," I said.
"You are a disgrace to this family Abigail."
"Don't call me that, my name is Melissa."
"You are Abigail, and nothing else, and I will touch whomever I please." He said walking down the steps. As he started towards us, I saw out of the corner of my eye a woman who looked vaguely familiar. I turned, looking at her, "Momma, is that you?"
"Abigail, do as your father says?"
"Momma, no, he hurts people."
Roman looked at me, realization flooding his face, my father had trapped us here. The memories flooding back into my mind. My mother had only left so that I would be broken enough to follow and become what no one else in our family could become. But I didn't follow like they wanted, I wasn't like them. They tried to break me, but I was stronger then them. "Run," was the only thing I heard in my mind, Brays words to me, he wasn't trying to destroy me, he was trying to save me, he was trying to save my daughter when he thought our father was going to come after her and kill her and me. "I'm so sorry Bray," I said.
My father roared in anger at the mention of Brays name, "He always had a soft spot for you Abigail, his sacrifice for your life, will end today." As my father said that, Braun appeared, storming down the steps towards us, I froze in my place, Roman yanking me behind him. "Get her out of here," I heard Roman yell to Courtnee and Amy. As we tried to get away, more family members surrounded us, that is until we saw a few people get out of cars, and realized it was Romans family coming to help. His mom had Hope in her arms, I saw my father lunge towards my daughter, and I ran in a full out sprint towards them. Roman hot on my heels, we all arrived at the exact same time, Roman knocking me out of the way and hitting my father with everything he had. "I told you to stay away from my daughter, you son of a bitch," Roman yelled, "get up and face me like a man."
My father stood, swinging at Roman, everyone surrounding them, when I felt two hands on my shoulders, looking up I saw Luke and Erick standing beside me as I clutched our daughter in my arms. "You may want to rethink your words boy," my father said smirking, over at me. That's when I remembered Brays voice, and one of the last things he said to me, "Remember in your darkest hour, that my greatest creation will come for you."
"Braun," I said, "you are Brays greatest creation, be mine now." Braun stopped in his tracks, as he towered over me, I placed my hand on his chest like I had done to Bray all those times, he stepped around me, Roman standing his ground, I stepped forward, Braun following me towards my father. I placed my hand on Romans chest, "Let me end this my love." He nodded.
"Listen to me old man, you are nothing but a fool. Bray was always right that you would be disappointed in me, considering I am nothing like you. You can never understand love. Bray at least had that capacity, even though he didn't know how to show it."
"Don't you dare speak his name to me wretched woman," my father spat.
"I will speak as I chose, my family will speak as they chose, you no longer control us, Luke and Erick are no longer under your thumb, they are free to do as they chose, as are any family member."
Romans hands encircled my waist. "She's right, everyone is free to chose who and what they love and what they do with their lives is their business, just as she was free to chose me and I her."
I leaned back against him, "You see this right here in front of you, this is love, this is family, this is life. What you had was destruction, pain, and heartache, you never understood love, and I'm afraid you never will."
"Shut up woman. Love is fleeting, love is ruthless, love is death."
Roman stepped in front of me, "If love was all the things you claim, she and I wouldn't be together, we wouldn't have our daughter, and we wouldn't be having another child."
My mother stepped forward, "You have children?"
I nodded, Romans mother bringing Hope forward, I took her in my arms, cradling Hope. "This is our daughter Hope." Roman smiled at Hope who giggled. I smiled up at him, my mother looked between Roman and Hope, "They make you happy?"
"Yes, more than I could ever say."
"And they I," Roman said.
My mother nodded, and looked at father, "She's right you know, this is what I always wanted for her."
"Damn you woman, you've cost me everything, I'm going to kill everyone you love," my father said.
As Roman started towards him, Braun pulled him back, hitting my father square in the jaw. Braun attacked my father with every inch of anger he had. Braun lifted him off the ground by his throat, choking the life out of him, I stepped forward, placing my hand on Brauns shoulder, "Let him go," I said softly. He dropped him to the ground, I stood over my father, "You will do well to remember who I am from now on," kicking him square in the face.
