(RONNIE'S POINT OF VIEW)
I heard the yelling down stairs the banging, I flickered my eyes opened to see Harvey sleeping on my chest and the babies asleep in their crib. ''Ron'' I heard a knock on the door I moved the rocking chair out of the way and I let my dad in who looked at the barricading at the door and he hugged me tight.
''H-he h-hit me a-and H-Harvey s-saw it a-all'' I cried into his chest and I felt Harvey arms move around me as he woke up and he hugged me tight. ''I want you to pack a bag for you and the kids and come home with me'' he whispered I moved out and wiped my cheek.
''I am not running out of my home, he can get his shit together and go that's it I am done, I am not staying with someone who hits their wife'' I said and I gave Harvey to Justin and I walked out of the room and door stairs.
''I'm so disappointed I raised him better'' I heard Madison cry and I walked into the kitchen, my three brothers stood furiously at the counter Laura and Madison sad at the table and Chris he was in the living room with who I presumed as Bradley. ''Ron'' Evan said walking over to me I wrapped my arms around his waist and hugged him back and I pulled out and I took a juice from the fridge and I made the twins both a bottle.
''Ronnie '' I heard a croak from behind me, I turned my head to see Bradley with bruised eye big fat lip and cuts on his face, I looked back down at the babies bottle I was making. ''Get your shit and get the fuck out of my house, we're over, expect divorce Paper'' I said shaking the bottle and I walked out of the room he grabbed me by the arm and I flinched he immediately let go and he looked at my cheek, there was no evidence that he hit me but he still knew what he done, he sobered up enough to know.
''I'm so sorry Ronnie you have no idea how much I hate myself'' he said tears rolling down his cheek. ''I do Bradley, if it's any way as much as I hate you then I do'' I said he looked down.
''You hit me'' he winched ''but he wasn't the slap that hurt me Bradley, Harvey seen it all, he saw you hit your wife, he saw his dad hit his mom, he is afraid to come out of the room, he cried telling me not to leave the room because he is afraid for me, my son beg me not to leave in case you hurt me again. I am not staying in a relationship where my son is terrified for himself his brother and sister and my safety, he is a 3 year old, never should have experience that, you never should have done it I am your fucking wife, we have been involved 7 years Bradley fucking 7 years and never have I even thought about another guy, that fucking guy I hugged is gay he is my fucking old beautician, but no you wouldn't let me explain, just pack your shit and get the fuck out of my house before I have you leave here in hand cuffs for hitting me'' I shouted and I slapped him across the face and I turned and headed up stairs hearing Harvey still crying and now the twins, I rushed down and I opened the door.
''Hey it's ok'' I chuckled to him and he wrapped his arms around my legs and I picked him up on my hip. ''I got you juice'' I said he shook his head hugging me tight, I pouted my lip and I kissed his head and I picked Millie up with the other hand and I rocked her from side to side and once Harvey calm down I put him down.
''Come on do you wanted to go into mommy's room'' he nodded and I carried Millie and the bottles he followed me with Justin who was holding Braydon and I sat down on the bed and I gave Justin's Braydon bottle and he gave it to my four month old son while I gave my daughter her's and Harvey cuddled into my side.
''What happened'' Justin asked, I kissed the top of Harvey's head and I told him what happened at the bar when I ran into my old hairdresser/ nail arts designer I went to since I moved in with Justin until I moved to New York and it's been over five years since I last saw him and I was all excited to see him and gave him a big hug and Bradley start getting jealous saying I was all over him and the rest went on.
''It's obvious he was drunk, he would never in his right mind hit you and I am not picking up for him I am fucking pissed his raised his hand to you, but you know he wouldn't'' he said I nodded, I know he wouldn't when he was sober.
''But who is to say he won't do it again when he is drunk and what if he ever touched them'' he looked at me I sighed. ''I know he wouldn't, he'd kill for these three but never lay a hand on them'' I said sighing and I sat Millie up rubbing her back and she blenched and I laid her down on the pillows and she was eating her feet.
''I'd love to be back that size with no problems or a care in the world'' I said he gave me an apologetic look then there was a knock on the door I froze and Justin looked at me.
''Here I will go see who it is don't worry hun'' he gave me Braydon and walked to the door and I kissed all over his little face making him smile and I laid him down beside his sister and I titled Harvey's head up and I wiped his eyes.
''Baby mommy is ok you know that right'' he sniffled, did you just hear that snap? Yes because it was my heart breaking.
''Son just go''
''I need to talk to her Justin, I need to see my kids please'' Justin looked back at me and I got up and I went into the bathroom as he was let it. I wet my face then I heard little banging on the door I opened it and Harvey ran behind my legs crying, I looked up at Bradley who literally looked heartbroken seeing his own son afraid to be around him.
''Baby come here listen to me ok'' I said he cried into my neck, I picked him up and I sat down the bed and he calmed down and I titled his head up.
''Baby why are you crying'' I asked. ''I'm Scared'' his lip trembled I frowned.
''Of what'' I asked. ''Daddy'' he whispered I closed my eyes and Bradley kissed the twins cheeks and he walked out of the room I looked at Justin and nodded he followed him out closing the door leaving me and the kids.
''Baby you're daddy loves you your brother and your sister so much he would never, ever hurt you'' I said holding his face in my hands.
''But he hurt you'' he sniffled again I felt my eyes welling up seeing him like this; I wanted nothing more than to put a bullet through Bradley, but that would mean my kids grow up without father around.
''Honey listen to me ok'' he nodded ''What daddy done was really bold but mommy knows daddy didn't mean to do that, your daddy loves me but he loves you, your brother and sister so much he would kill people if they ever hurt you, he would never ever hurt you, you're his little man, the little man who he always plays basketball with and watches cars and toy story with, he loves you son, you don't need to be afraid of your daddy I promise you, you don't'' I said softly but firmly, what he done to be is unacceptable but he is an amazing father to these three kids and I can't take that from him.
''Do you want to go see him'' he shook his head I nodded. ''Then let's cuddle'' he nodded and got under the covers I put the twins under as well and I turned the TV on and I put on Mickey mouse clubhouse and the three of them watched it until their eyes slowly shut, leaving me thinking about, what happens next.
