One way or another {Laughing Jack Fanfic}

After the whole ordeal at the park, we ended up heading back home. Once we got back home we had Puppet, Fire and Toxic get treated by our personal doctor. I got tackled by my two innocent girls. Both of them crying their eyes out as they hugged my legs. I go down onto my knees and hug them back with tears threatening to spill out of my eyes. "We're so sorry mommy," they both said in unison and I shook my head. "Neither of you are responsible for this," I reply and hold them both close. "It almost brings a tear to my eye," Lightning says beside me. I smile and look over at her. "Thank you," I say and she smiles back at me and just nods. She leaves to possibly go to her room or into the living room to play video games. I just stay hugging my girls while they continue to cry on me for a good five more minutes. Then I get up and proceed to walk towards my room. Well try to walk to my room because the twins were literally attached to my legs.

Once I was finally able to make it to my room, the twins still hadn't let me go. "Darlings I need to take a shower and I can't do that with you attached to me," I say trying to pry them off of me. "Yes you can," Chloe says. "I'd rather not," I retaliate. They both let out a huff and proceed to let go of my legs. "Why don't you guys play inside you room or go hang out with Lightning," I say. They both nod and run off to where Lightning's room is located. Chloe likes to learn how to play the games that Lightning plays and Charlotte just loves to watch. I go into my room and proceed to take off my clothes (after closing the door of course). I go into the bathroom connected to my bedroom and turn on the shower. A nice shower should clear my thoughts of those past memories.

Once inside the shower, my muscles instantly relax and my body doesn't feel tense anymore. Showers are the times when I tend to clear my mind and just think about positive times. It's literally just my time to relax and not be bothered by the twins every 10 minutes. The first thing I tend to do in a shower is wash my hair because that requires keeping my eyes closed and it lets my mind wonder easier. Once my mind starts to drift off, the only thing that is able to stay on my mind is that damn clown; or Laughing Jack as he calls himself. I keep my eyes closed and shake my head, trying to erase him, but I can't see anything but him towering over me when he pinned my hands down on the table or when I sat in his lap and he was going to kiss me.

I rinse everything out my hair and open my eyes finally. My face heated up as I could only think of those moments with him. He must've done something to me to make this happen. Probably punishment for seducing him then proceeding to stab him. As I attempt to shake those thoughts from my mind I wash myself then quickly get out. I wrap a towel around myself and go over to where my mirror is. I grab my brush and brush my wet hair. I catch a glimpse of the toilet and see that there's clothes sitting on the toilet lid. 'Probably Mama,' I think to myself and smile. Once I finish brushing I do all the normal getting ready stuff and then go out the bathroom. It was pretty late so I decided that I would eat something, put the twins to bed, and then get some shut eye myself. I go out my room while drying my hair and throw the towel on my floor/bed before closing the door. I walk down the extended hallway until I reach a door that has gaming noises along with children's laughter coming out of it. I knock on the door and Lightning laughs while saying come in. I come inside and I see them sitting on the edge of Lightning's bed playing some game called Super Mario Odyssey.

Both twins spot me and immediately run over to me saying mommy. I laugh as they hug my legs and giggle to each other. I look up to Lightning and say, "Thanks for watching them." She smiles and replies, "Anytime." As I start to leave I hear Chloe say, "Mommy your face is red. Are you sick or something?" I look at her and give her a confused look. "What are you talking about," I ask and go over to a nearby mirror. Chloe was in fact right, my face was still red from thinking about him. Oh great now I can't stop thinking about it and my face gets redder. I cover my face and try to hide my blushing features but it's too late because Lightning noticed. "Oh, does someone have a crush," she teases and I quickly say no.
