Tom was once your boyfriend a long time ago but once his acting career took off you both decided to end the relationship. Although you both stayed close and good friends. You went on and got married then started a family. Your children call Tom their uncle that your husband despises. Your husband Nick never liked Tom. He hated how you two were so close and knew you would run and tell Tom whenever he would do something wrong.
One day unexpectedly there was a knock at the door. "Are you having friends over Nick?" "No you?" "Don't think so." You say as you open the door. "Oh my god hey Tom this so unexpected." He hugs you tight and gives you flowers. "Uncle Tom!" Your children shout as the run to his open arms. "Hey there kidos I brought gifts for you." He says handing them a wrapped box. Your children quickly rip the paper off and open the box to find toys and candy. "Thank you Uncle Tom." They hug and kiss all over his face. "Alright that's enough go play in your room." Nick says clearly annoyed. "How are you Nick?" Tom asks as he sits on the couch. "I'm fine. Your visit is very unexpected. It's rude to show up out of the blue like that." "Oh hush Nick. Tom is always welcome here." You say handing Tom a cup of tea. "What did you say to me?" Nick spits grabbing your arm forcing you to face him. "You don't tell me what to do I'm the head of this household." He pushes you down onto the couch. "Don't put your hands on her." Tom says looking over your bruised arm. "She's my wife I can do what ever I want to her." Nick growls as he snatches you up again. "Leave her alone!" Tom yells as your children watch quietly from around the corner. "Oh yeah what are you going to do huh? Your just an actor putting up an act. That's all it is you won't do anything. You don't know how." Nick laughs as he starts beating you. Throwing you to the ground, punching your face, kicking your sides. Tom tackles Nick to the ground so you can get away. "I do know how to deal with people like you." Tom spits as the two men fight in your living room. You quickly put your children in there safe spot you made for them when their father gets like this. "Hush darlings everything will be ok." You coo as you wipe their tears away. "Why does daddy hit you?" "I don't know." You whisper. You close the door of the safe place.
You walk back into the living room to see almost everything is broken and Nick is laying on the ground. His face was all bloody as well as Tom's. "How long has he been treating you like that?" "For a while." You say as Tom carefully brings you into a hug. "Why didn't you tell me?" "Because he said if I did he would hurt the children." You start to cry and Tom presses you close to him. "Shhh it's ok. He's not going to hurt you again. I'm going to take care of you now." Tom kisses the top of for head and helps you to an unbroken chair. "I'm going to take you to my house. So whenever you are ready I can help you and the children pack." He kisses your cheek softly then walks to the kitchen to wash up. You stare at Nick's body on the ground. "Is he dead?" "No just knocked out." Tom says quietly. "But you don't need to worry about him anymore." "How am I going to tell the children? Oh yeah that's your father laying in the floor because your uncle beat him up?" You says as tears spill out over your cheeks. "I will tell them something don't worry about it (Y/N)." You nod and walk to your bedroom. You slip off your wedding ring and place it on Nick's night stand. You pack up your things while Tom helps your children pack. "Hey guys Uncle Tom is going to take you and your mommy to his house for a while. Sound good?" "Like a slumber party?" "Yes just like a slumber party." He chuckles as the children hug him.
Once at his house Tom takes care of your wounds and bandages himself up. "Thank you Tom." You whisper. "You're welcome. I couldn't let my best girl be treated like that." He smiles as he tucks some hair behind your ear. "I still love you." "I never stopped loving you. That's why I wanted you to still be close. I would write you letters about taking the children and running away with you that I never sent. I had to hide them from Nick for obvious reasons." You slightly giggle but grip your side. "Here lay down." Tom helps you into his bed. "I owe you so much." "Well we can get back together and we can call it even." He chuckles which causes you to smile. "I'm going to check on the children then get some dinner ready. You rest here and if you need me just call. I'll be up in a flash." You nod as your eyes become heavy.
Tom checks on the children that are watching Cartoon Network on his big TV. "This is so cool! We don't get this channel at home." They say as he ruffles their hair. "I bet you guys are hungry how about pizza. It's a slumber party after all." "Yay pizza!" They shout as Tom places the order. Once the pizza comes Tom pops in a movie and sets a blanket down for them to eat on. He brings you a plate as he comes to check on you.
"Hey darling you doing ok?" "Yes I'm ok just sore. How are you feeling? And you called me darling." "Well of course I did we said we still love each other so I figured it would be ok to call you that. Sorry if you don't like it I'll stop." "I'm fine with it. It's just I haven't been called that in a while." "Well I'm going to change that. You will hear me say it at least once a day." He chuckles softly kissing your lips. "How are the children?" You ask as you break away from the kiss. "They are fine eating pizza and watching a movie. Oh here I brought you some just incase you were hungry." He places the plate in your lap and sits next to you in bed. "Wanna know something funny?" "Sure." You say as you take a bite. "I've always dreamed of you in my bed and now my dream has come true." You side eye him and say, "you're such a dork." "Yeah but it made you smile and that's all I care about."
