Another Child from a Bitch (HamLiza)

Trigger Warning: Mentions of Abuse

Eliza was about to let herself fall asleep next to her husband, Alexander, when she saw Philip out of the corner of her eye trying to slip past her bedroom door with a plate of food and a drink. She sighed and got up to tell him to take it downstairs because he knew where food belonged though Alex whined, "Stayyyyyyyyyy."

Eliza giggled and kissed his cheek, "I'll be right back. I'm just checking on Philip really quick." She got off of the bed and looked at the time, 9:40 at night, why was Philip still awake? He was usually passed out by 7:00.

She left and walked down the short hallway to Philip's room where she opened the door and blinked at what she saw. A little girl with her black hair pulled into two little puffs sat beside him with a piece of bread in her mouth and tears leaving her eyes. She looked like she'd been beaten up and Philip was rubbing her arm lightly with a concerned face, "It's okay." He was saying, "I gots you food. No cry."

Eliza furrowed her eyebrows and crouched down by the children. She looked at the little girl and asked quietly, "What's wrong? What's going on?" She had always had a huge soft spot for children and her crying was killing her.

The girl tripped over her words and managed to finish her bite of the bread in a sob before crying out, "M-My mom-mom kick-kicked me-me out c-cuz I-I-I got in-in a fight with-th her boy-boyfriend." She said and Philip hugged her as she broke down again in tears.

"Oh no," She hugged the two of them tightly and rocked them to try and calm them down, "What's your name baby? What's your mom's name? Do you know her phone number?" She was about to go off on this woman.

Philip spoke for the little girl since she was sobbing too hard to answer, "Her name is Angelica, mommy. Like Auntie Angelica." He said and though it took some prompting Eliza managed to get Angelica's information for her mom, a woman named Savannah.

She made it back to the bedroom and shook Alex awake, "Wha...?" He looked around confused but snapped to attention when he saw the anger on Eliza's face, "What? What is it? Who do I need to fillet?" He asked and sat up quickly.

Eliza handed the phone number over and spoke, "There's a little girl in Philip's room. Her mother, Savannah, kicked her out for fighting with her boyfriend. Her name's Angelica and she's sobbing her heart out and looked terrified. I'm so angry."

Alexander grabbed his phone and punched in the numbers from the piece of paper. He waited for the call to be picked up and then he went off, "Is this Savannah?" After confirmation, he got up angrily, "Listen up you fucking bitch. Your child should be the most important thing to you. No! You listen to me, she is in TEARS fucking TEARS because her mother chose a MAN over her. Seriously! How fucking stupid do you have to be? Don't you TRY and justify kicking a child under ten out at near ten at night. Do you want to know what could've happened? She could've been murdered or r-" He cut off and looked at Eliza who was proud though he looked even angrier, "I'm gonna skin her alive. She said, and I quote, 'until she get her attitude in check and stop disrespecting MY man she's not welcome in MY house' the nerve of her!"

"I want to curse her the fuck out," Eliza wasn't one to be violent, especially to people, she almost never cursed, but this was different. She ranted with Alex until she noticed Philip peeking into the room with fear in his eyes so she walked over and got to her knees, putting a hand on the side of his face, "It's okay buddy, you're friend can stay here. Daddy and I are going to take her home to get her clothes and then she can stay here. I promise." She kissed Philip's forehead, "Go tell Angelica that we're going to take care of her." Philip hugged her quickly before running to get his friend while Eliza stood up and looked at Alex, "So basically you're going to hold Angelica's mom and her mom's boyfriend back while Angelica and I get her clothes and then we'll all come back here. Okay?"

Alex nodded instantly and they gathered the little girl before following her instructions all the way to a rickety house. The entire way there Angelica slowly revealed that her mom's boyfriend had been hitting her over and over again and that's why her mom kicked her out which only made Eliza and Alex angrier.

We got there and I took her hand, heading inside with Alex. We didn't know and just opened the door which I instantly had Angelica lead me to her room while Alex explained that they were there for Angelica's clothes. While Angelica and Eliza shoved her clothes and stuffed animals into the bag Eliza had brought she could hear shouting and at one point Angelica asked, "Is it going to be okay?"

Eliza smiled and nodded instantly saying, "Of course it will. Philip, me, and my husband and all here for you, Angie." The nickname was second nature to her because of her sister and soon the bag was full, "Good?"

"Good," Eliza put the backpack on and took Angelica's hand, marching out of the house with as much sass as she could put, Angelica rushing to keep up.

"Got everything?" Alex asked as they got into the car and took off together. Eliza nodded and he sighed, "Good. I can't believe some of the shit these bitches are on today. Leaving their own daughter out in the cold like that...fucking bitch."

Eliza agreed but pinched his arm, "Language. There is a child around and you will watch that mouth or I will pinch you again." Alex giggles and when they pulled up into the driveway he noticed Angelica had fallen asleep in the backseat, "It looks like we have a daughter." He said quietly.

Eliza blushed at the thought of another child but she didn't disagree, she wasn't completely opposed to the idea after all.
