I get up to hear a knock on the door, Theo sleeping in my arms soundly. Everything was quiet and peaceful, and I miss Vic immensely. I want him to be home more often, but I know he works really hard and long for us all to benefit. He was wonderful.
When I open the door, it reveals his mother, standing there in a formal attire and her arms crossed over her chest. Fuck.
"Oh, hi." I say softly, and she gives me a smile, much more a fake one.
"Is Vic home?" She asks, and I shake my head.
"Nope, he's at work." I say, and she nods slowly, looking around the house a little. And then, she looks at me.
"What are your intentions with my fucking son?" She snaps, and I jump back a little, holding Theo's head gently.
"Nothing, ma'am, just to bring him love and happiness. He's the love of my life." I say, and she narrows her eyes a little, watching me. I widen my eyes a little, and she steps forward, making me hold my son closer to my chest.
"If you dare do anything else with my son, I will not hesitate to cut your arms, and legs off, do you understand?" She hisses, and I look at her, furrowing my eyebrows together.
"Mrs. Fuentes, I can really assure you that I will do nothing to ever hurt Vic. I really love him, and I really care about him, and Theo." I say, who was now wide awake and staring at me. I smile down at him, and he smiles too, cooing softly. He looks at Mrs. Fuentes, and his face straightens. I giggle.
"Aww, hi, Theo!" She coos, taking him, and he stares at her, not smiling. I laugh, smiling, and she narrows her eyes at Theo.
"I don't think she likes you that much." I giggle.
"Don't push it." She snaps at me, making me jump back. Theo lets out a little cry, signaling that he wants to be out of her arms. I take him gently, and he smiles, giggling.
"I know, Mrs. Fuentes is a little meanie." I coo, and he laughs, hitting my hand as I hold it up to him. He lets his tiny hands curl around my index finger, and I smile brightly. Mrs. Fuentes stares at me.
"How old are you, anyway?" She asks, eyeing me.
"I'm turning eighteen soon." I say, and she laughs.
"You're basically still a child, much too young to be with my son. What do you know about raising a baby?" She asks, and I smirk.
"I may be young, but I still treat Vic better than his own mother does. And I know everything about raising a baby, as I raised my youngest sister myself. I think you should go." I say, and she gasps, staring at me, dumbfounded. I close the door, leaving her there, and Theo giggles.
"I can't wait for you to start talking." I giggle, blowing a gentle raspberry into his stomach, and he squeals, laughing and pulling my hair gently. At that moment, the doorbell rings again, and I snap.
"What the fuck do you want!" I yell, and I open my eyes to see Vic standing there, his eyes wide.
"Woah, babe, calm the hell down." He chuckles, leaning forward and pressing a kiss to my lips, and I giggle, placing my hand on his chest.
"I'm sorry, I thought you were your mom again." I say, and he closes the door behind him, locking it.
"She came over? You cursed her out, right?" He asks, holding my waist tightly, and Theo squeals excitedly as I hand him to Vic.
"I was close, but she got mad. She said I was really young and I didn't know how to raise my own child, so I said, but I treat your son way better than you ever did, and that I know how to raise a baby because I raised Kayleigh." I say, and he smiles brightly, kissing my forehead.
"That's my angel." He says, and I giggle as he leads me to our bedroom, laying down. He hands me Theo to pull off his shirt, and I sit up, admiring my two favorite humans in the world.
"I got a threat call from Leona for the custody of Theo, tomorrow is our court case." Vic says, and my phone starts to ring. I give him a look before answering it.
"Hi, this is the Christ Hospital, we ask if tomorrow you can come see your mother? She's fallen very ill and she requests to see you." A doctor says, and I gasp, tears springing to my eyes. Theo starts to whimper a little when he sees i'm crying, and Vic sits up, pulling me close to him.
"Can I know what's w-wrong?" I ask, sniffling.
"We're very sad to tell you that she has pancreatic cancer, the cancer of the pancreas, that can kill... Earlier than other cancers." He says, and my throat becomes dry.
Mommy.
"O-Okay, i'll be there." I whisper, hanging up the phone, and Vic looks at me worriedly.
"Baby, what's wrong?" He asks, and I sniffle.
"She has cancer, mommy has cancer." I whisper, letting the tears stream down my cheeks, and he intakes a sharp breath, Theo hugging me tightly. I smile down at my baby weakly.
"Baby boy, you are going to the hospital and seeing her, and I will join you after the court case, okay? We're gonna spend the day with her. She'll be okay." Vic whispers, placing a gentle, loving kiss to my lips, and I nod, sniffling.
"Let's go take a shower together and curl up in bed, okay? We can watch some movies." Vic says, and I nod, smiling a little.
"I would love that."
