Slow dance with you

Last minute babysitting

After the weekend was over, lance woke up Monday morning feeling like the day would be good, Marco was taking Leo to work for 'bring your child to work' as rosy got to stay home or suffer her temper tantrum. Maria was going to work early as Jess was the only one home as she was going to spend the day with her daughter.

Lance got dress and went to brush his teeth. He passed rosy's room and saw her awake as she was playing with her toys quietly. She saw her uncle and was frozen thinking she'd get in trouble for playing with her toys rather than sleeping. But lance winked as he made a shushing sound for her and rosy smiled nodding.

"Why don't you get dress, your mom will be really impressed," lance told her and rosy ran to her dresser as she was excited to pick out her own clothes.

Lance chuckled running down the stairs to pop some toast in the toaster for breakfast as he grabbed a water bottle.

Lance jumped at the sound of a thump from the living room and he saw John standing up and he glanced seeing a beer bottle on the ground.

"God dammit John, go take a shower," Lance gagged as he could smell his disappointment of a father from the kitchen.

"You got her fucking pregnant and went to a fag," John snarled walking to lance as the toast popped out golden.

"Your still drunk? Jeez," Lance rolled his eyes. "I don't know what your talking about,"

"You go get a innocent girl who was perfectly fine for you pregnant! Then you go around sucking dick you fag!" John slapped the back of his head and lance cried out spinning around to his father.

"The fuck are you talking about you drunk?!" Lance yelled back but gasped when John slammed his fist into his gut.

"I may have missed out on your childhood but I never left your mother because she was pregnant with you bastards!" John grabbed his hair and Lance cried out when he raised his other fist and punched lance across the face making him fall to the ground.

"John Stop! I don't know what your talking about!" Lance cried out.

"Your ex came by last night and told me she was pregnant! You whore left her! Your not worthy to even be near children you bastard!" John kicked him across the face and another kick to the stomach that made lance slid across the ground.

"Stop it! Leave my uncle lance alone!" Rosy jumped down the stairs with wide eyes and started to hit johns leg.

"Fucking bitch," John shoved her to the ground and rosy whimpered when she hit her elbows first.

Lance watched his youngest niece with wide eyes as she had tears in her eyes.

"Don't fucking touch her!" Lance got up and punched John across the face and grabbed his shirt roughly as his nose was bleeding.

"You can fucking hit me for some lie but you don't touch my god damn niece, you don't touch your granddaughter you coward," Lance snarled in his face as John looked at him with no fear.

Lance shoved him back and went to rosy as she reached for her uncle as lance held her gently.

"Hey tough girl, wanna hang out with uncle lance for the day? I know some people who will be totally jealous of your dress," Lance smiled as rosy buried her face in his neck with a small cry. She didn't respond but she didn't let go of him. Lance will send a text to Jess, he was not going to leave rosy here with John.

Lance grabbed his toast and his bag as well as rosys shoes to bring with. He slammed the door behind him and went to his car.

Rosy crawled in the passenger seat as lance got in the drivers seat to start the car.

"Are you okay?" Rosy asked with a sniffle as a fear tears ran down her young face.

"I'm fine princess, that was really brave but please... when John gets like that again just get an adult, I don't want you to get hurt," lance wiped under his nose and saw the blood.

"Wanna get me a baby wipe from the glove department?" Lance asked the little girl and rosy did so. He looked in the mirror to clean up his bloody nose until only wound on his face was the busted lip and a bruise on his cheek.

"Am I going to school with you?" Rosy asked as lance pulled out of the driveway to go pick up Keith as well.

"Yep, it's like your a big kid now, with how brave you were I think you should see it," Lance smirked but saw her tear on her cheek. He leaned over and wiped the tear away.

"I'm sorry you had to see that but let's keep it our secret okay?" Lance pursed his lips and rosy looked at him confused.

"But you got owies," she stated.

"I know but they'll go away, just don't tell anyone okay?" He sighed. He didn't want that burden on his niece but he couldn't let her say anything at school.

"Okay," she smiled at the thought of her and her favorite uncle having a special secret and nothing more.

Lance pulled up to Keiths apartment and the black haired boy walked out but saw rosy in the front and raised an eye brow.

"In the back mullet," Lance smiled at him and Keith gave him a confused look but did so.

"I'm pretty sure this is illegal," Keith said getting in the back seat.

"Last minute babysitting is a charm," lance smiled back at him with a shrug but Keith noticed the cut on his lip and the bruise on his face. His heart sank a little but said nothing as lance smiled at his niece that ate the toast he made.
