Cameron Monaghan Imagines and Preferences

~Jerome Imagine~ 'Buttercup' by Hippo Campus~

*REQUESTED* Jerome and Readers children, the rest is up to you😊*

"Mummy, Daddy. Rhi is stuck in the tree!" Me and Jerome looked at our frantic little boy who had just ran in through the patio doors that lead into the spacious back garden.

His eyes where starting to leak little tears as he ran towards Jerome and tugged at his trouser leg, "Calm down Elijah, tell daddy what happened" J said as he lifted him into his lap. "R-rhi climbed t-the t-tree and one o-of t-the branches s-s-snapped and now s-she is can't get d-down... Daddy y-you have to s-save h-h-her" Elijah sobbed out, "I'll get the ladder" I sighed. Walking out to the garden I propped the ladder against the tree which Jerome had built a tree-house in, a few years before Elijah was born for our first child, Rhiannon.

Elijah toddled out with Jerome "Mummy that's the wrong tree silly, she is in the one closest to the fence" as the words left my baby's mouth me and J had a look of pure anger as I moved the ladder to the other tree, Jerome shouted at the top of his lungs, "RHIANNON MAE VALESKA, YOU GET DOWN THIS LADDER, RIGHT NOW!" while holding the bottom of the ladder, "Elly go inside please" I said and he toddled off like I told him to, "RHIANNON" J shouted once again before she started to climb down, when the 10 year old was within arms reach of Jerome he grabbed her off the ladder and put her in the ground. "RHIANNON WHAT HAVE WE TOLD YOU ABOUT CLIMBING THIS TREE BECAUSE IT'S TOO CLOSE TO THE FENCE" I shouted at my baby.

She had tears brimming her eyes, "But you said I could play in the tree" she said shakily to me. "Yes Rhiannon and by tree you know I meant the tree-house, me and your farther have told you time and TIME again to STAY AWAY FROM THE FENCE", I really tried to calm down but I was too angry right now. "Yeah but I just want to go, I want to be like the other kids and play on the street, I just want to leeeeaaavvvvah" she wined as tears spilling from her eyes. "Do you remember what happened the last time we let you out. I will not allow that to happen again, NOW go to your room". Jerome said as she huffed and walked away.

I found comfort in Jerome's arms, "Why does she keep trying to leave J?" I asked solemnly "I don't know baby, it must be a phase" he tried to reassure me and stroking my hair, "I hope so".

*6 years later*

Me and Jerome where giving Rhiannon and her boyfriend a lift to school. I looked in the rear-view mirror and saw my little angel snogging the face off the young fluffy haired brunette boy she was courting, I nudged Jerome and he looked too. With a growl he diverted the car to a nearby abandoned car park and stopped the car. he grabbed a coin from the glove box and growled out "BOY... Heads or tails?" both 16 year old's gulped out as he shook out "Um... Heads".

The coin spun in the air as J caught it and looked at what the coin had landed on... "Tails" J said with a smirk, he got out of the car and dragged Rhiannon's boyfriend out of the back of the car on his side and started beating the shit out of him.

Me and Rhiannon both got out of the car to witness the tragedy. "STOP... DADDY STOP PLEASE!" she shouted over and over. Jerome soon stopped and growled something incoherent that only the boy could hear as Rhiannon sunk her head into my chest sobbing "It's okay buttercup, he will be fine, I'll talk to your farther, I'll make him apologise" I cooed in her ear while stroking her hair in the back seat of the car. "Mummy please call him an ambulance... please" she sobbed and I did before J got back in the car and drove us home.

*2 years later*

"I'll be fine on my own, I don't  need you inside my head, I want to spend my life with my love, wrapped up in shades of red like you and mum!" Rhiannon shouted at me and J, she had bags in her hands as her and J screamed at one another, I observed from Jerome's chest as tears streamed down my face.

"Fuck no Rhiannon you are 18 years old you are not leaving my house".

"Please Rhiannon baby, you belong with us as a family... please stay for me... for Elly" I sobbed from Jerome's chest, "I will be fine, I'm alright, I'm Independent, it's my body I can leave if I want" She shouted back at us.

"NO, you are staying right here, is he making you do this, I have beat the crap out of him once before and I can sure as hell do it A-FUCKING-GAIN" J threatened as I cried out.

"I'm gunna stick to my guns, like you taught me, If anyone messes with me I'll give 'em hell, give 'em teeth like you" she pointed at me and Jerome "TAUGHT ME!".

If looks could kill Jerome would have had Rhiannon dead on the floor, J gently pushed me to one side as he walked to my little buttercup with a finger raised to her face. "YOU! If you leave MY house right now you NEVER come back, I never walked out on THIS family. I don't see why YOU should! YOU leave, you leave FOREVER!" He said through gritted teeth. "No, J baby, please not my little buttercup".

"Y/N! not now if she goes she is fucking gone I'm fucking done with her fucking bullshit, we have had to put up with this 10 FUCKING YEARS TOO LONG" and with that said I cried harder because I knew it was true.

"Fine... Fuck you and fuck your family" Rhiannon shouted to Jerome as she stormed out of the house towards her boyfriends car.

I ran into J's arms and cried my heart out "shush, it's okay baby I'll keep an eye on her, it won't happen again... I promise".

*10 months later*

"Breaking news, a fire broke out at one of Gotham's many apartment buildings, one young man died however the medical examiner claimed his death was not caused by the fire, also the cause of the arson is still unknown however we do know the fire started at the buildings main lobby."

I shut off the TV and waited for Jerome to bring my babygirl home.

"DAD TAKE ME BACK, JARED NEEDS ME... PLEASE" I heard Rhiannon shout at my husband as they opened the door.

"HE IS FUCKING DEAD RHIANNON" he said sternly pushing her trough the door.

"NO! NO! HE WOULDN'T LEAVE ME!" she shouted and sobbed at the same time, throwing punches that at Jerome's chest.

"LIGHTEN UP, BUTTERCUP, WHY DON'T YOU GET A HOBBY! YOUR WORSE THAN YOUR GRANDMOTHER, IVE SEEN WHAT HE MADE YOU DO TO PAY FOR THAT SHITTY APARTMENT"

J shouted sarcastically as she continued throwing punches that didn't land as hard as she had hoped. "Yeah, swing, sucker, swing... Finished sobbing yet? Does the truth hurt darling?" he said tormentingly as she stopped hitting and just fell into him, and just sobbed.

I saw everything I got up and ran to them making the once two people hug into a love sandwich. "I missed you so much buttercup, please don't leave again, please" I said into her hair giving her little kisses. she turned around still in our 3 way embrace so her face was burred into my chest.

"Never mummy, I missed you so much and dad and Elly, I thought you didn't want me " she sobbed.

"Of course we want you, you are the product of mine and your fathers love, we will always love you".

That night all four of us snuggled on the sofa and watched movies like a normal family would.
