Happy to have you here

Bexs POV
"Mummy, can I have some juice?" the small redhead asks after finishing a mouthful of toast. "Of course darling" I answer handing her a glass of orange. "Morning girls" Marc says entering the kitchen. "Morning Marc, you want some breakfast?" Lana questions as she sits down next to me. "I'd love some thank you" he replies pouring a drink for himself. In the middle of taking a sip,the door bell sounded. "I'll get it" Marc said as she got out of his seat and jogged towards the door. "Hey Bex, are we still taking the girls for ice cream later?". "I suppose so" I answered the girls celebrating and making faces of excitement. Suddenly loud voices and what sounded like struggle came from the doorway. I put down my toast and made my way to Marc to see what's going on. As i enterd the hallway the sound of a familiar person shouts "where's Bex and where the hells my kid?". Realising who the voice was, I ran towards them to find Marc pushing Josh out of the doorway as he was struggling to enter the house. As soon as Josh saw my face he pushed Marc harder than before and stormed towards me grabbing my neck. "Where the hell is my child" he says in anger griping my throat. Struggling to breath I looks towards Lana who had now come to see what was happening. Suddenly Marc yanked his arm so I was no longer in his clasp and threw a powerful punch to his nose.Lana now had all three kids behind her all with scared looks on their faces. As Josh got up and wiped blood from his nose he attempted to fight back. Just then Fred and Marc managed to push him into the front yard and close the door. "You can't keep me from my daughter forever" he shouts kicking the wood making the pictures on the wall shake. After it was all over we all stood there in shock lost for words, i look towards my daughter who had seen the whole thing and was clearly scared,just as the other two were. I glance at the brunette and then at the boys and my eyes became flooded with tears, I run towards Marc who catches me and start to sob on his shoulder. "Hey girls maybe we should go into the kitchen and leave Bex for a moment while we all get this sorted out okay" she gestures
towards them gently ushering then to the next room, Fred following. Once they had left, Marc picked me up and carried me to the sofa my head still on his shoulder and tears still flooding down my face. "It's okay...it's okay your gonna be fine baby I'm here" he assures rubbing my back."I take it that's Lana's dad then" he says wiping tears from my cheeks."yes" I say still shocked."How did he know you were here?" he asks softly as to try and approach the situation delicately. "I don't know" i answer starting to calm down but still shaking. After a couple of seconds I feel another person sit beside he and rest her head on my shoulder. "Hey babe, you okay?" she asks looking up at me. "Just shaken up, how are the girls and Lana?" I ask her. "They're just shocked and confused" she replies."why has he come back now, I mean why wait nearly 8 years to decide to visit?" She questions taking my hand. "I have no idea, but I do know he is never having anything to do with my daughter" I state firmly. Just then a confused and worried looking Lana peered into the room. "Are you hurt mummy" she asks clearly worrying about what Josh had done. "I'm fine darling are you?" I ask. "Yes I'm okay...who was that man?" She asks climbing on to my lap and wrapping her hands around my shoulders. "Well errm it's hard to explain...he's you father" I say slowly,hoping she would understand. "But I thought daddy was my daddy" she replies puzzled. "Well he is, but mummy didn't get pregnant with Marc she got pregnant with that man" I say knowing this would take her some time to contemplate. "But why would you get pregnant with him I though you loved dad" she says looking at Marc. "I do sweetie I do..but before I met Marc I loved him".
"But why would you love him, he hurt you" she says as the older Lana gives me a look of sorrow. "I know darling,but love is a funny thing you'll get to know that when your a little bit older" I answer her small tears forming in my eyes. "Oh don't cry mummy I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make you upset" she tells me with a sad look on her face. "No no it's okay I'm just thankful to have you here with me today and that's all that matters" I say pulling her into my chest and hugging her tight. "I love you mummy" she expresses hugging me back. "I love you too darling" I reply. "Okay now you go and tell Charlotte and Sophia I'm okay and I'll be right with you" I tell her. "Okay" she said running into the next room."thank you for protecting me Marc" I say noticing his hand which was now bleeding. "It was the right thing to do" he says kissing me. After I thank him I look to Lana, "thank you also for keeping the girls safe" I express. "Well they don't deserve to be apart of any of this I mean none of this is their fault or anybody's but his for that matter" she replies. "Okay, I think we're gonna have to call off the ice cream" I tell the brunette. "Yes I think so too come on, let's go break it to the girls" she says taking my hand a leading me into the kitchen.
