Bruises - Spoby

chapter eight

Spencer
I slam the door in his face and then I go back inside. It took all my strength not to cry but I couldn't, my babies were there and they would've worried for me, and I didn't want them to. "Mommy can we watch a movie?" Daniel asks, god he reminds me a lot Toby every time I look at him. "No honey tomorrow it's a school day, come on I will put you all to bed." He frowns. I smile and pick him up, he puts on by himself pyjamas and so do Olivia, Meg and Hazel, they were all very self-employed since the age of 1 years old they already walked, and they started speaking at the age of 2, they all went to school since last year, because I needed time to go to work. I put them to bed and they all seem to sleep, so I go back to the couch and I lie there. I start thinking about Toby, I was so mad at him, I mean he wasn't here for his 4 children, but he just moved away without neither telling where he was, he never called me, he changed his number, and then he had a son with somebody else completely ignoring the fact that he already was father of 4 kids and then got engaged with a stupid brunette girl. I start to sob, quietly. I continue to sob until I hear a voice "Mommy?" Liv says I quickly sit up and wipe my tears and say "Yes, hon?" "Are you okay?" Liv asks me "Yes, yes sweet pea, go back to sleep" I say, but she walks closer to me and sits on my lap, I hug her and she says "Mom, was it our dad at the door before?" She asks "How do you know that?" I ask shocked "Because he told me" Liv says suddenly I notice that she was shaking "What?! did you speak to him?!" I ask more shocked "Yes, after you put us to bed he climbed to our window, he knocked, I opened it since Meg, Hazel and Dani were already asleep." I can't believe him, after I told him to stay away from us, "What did he say?" "He said that I was his daughter but I got scared, I-I couldn't breathe, it happened again, my heart was pounding, and I ran away, you know that I don't want to talk to strangers" she says still shaking, I will kill him, she also scared Liv, "He won't bother you again okay?" I say trying to look sure of my self. She nods and I put her to bed again closing the window and the curtain. I can see that Olivia is not sleeping she's so frightened, I walk to her and I can hear her breathing heavily, so I kneel down, putting her hair behind her ear and whispering "Do you want to sleep with me tonight?" she quickly nods, I pick her up and slowly put her in my bed, I then lie next to her and she hugs me, I smile "Mommy, I'm sorry" my smile disappears "For what?" I ask "You know why, I mean for you-know-what" she says, I understand, "I love you anyway honey"
-THE NEXT MORNING-
"Okay babies go to school" I say to Liv, Meg, Dani and Hazel. When I'm sure that they're in school I call the work to take a day off, I drive to Toby's angrier then ever, I park my car in the driveway, exit from my car and then knock angrily on the door, the brunette girl opens the door and not to punch her in the face was the hardest thing I've ever done. "Where's Toby?!" I ask loud, "Sorry, who are you?" she asks trying to seem polite. "I'm Spencer, I need Toby, NOW!" I yell "Okay you need to dial it back, and then when you'll be calm I can call Toby for you!" she says less politely "I don't need you to lead me through the house, I can find him by myself, I've been her more times than you did!" I scream "Hey babe who is it?" A familiar voice says, Toby comes out of the bedroom wit a baby girl in his arms, the same kid I saw yesterday, when he looks at me he gasps and hand the baby to the brunette saying "Yvonne could you excuse us for a minute?" He says, so her name is Yvonne, what a fucking name! "What are you doing here?" he asks annoyed "I'm as annoyed as you are but I needed to come here to say to you to stay away from the kids, again" I say trying to stay calm "The concept was clear" he says "Yeah but not enough seen that you climbed to 1st floor of my house knocking at the window scaring my child" I yell "I- I just wanted to see them" he says "You scared the hell Olivia" "I just told her that I was her father, They need to know that!!" He replies "You can't scare her like that, not anymore, not her" I say starting to breathing heavily thinking at what might have happened, "What do you mean with 'Not her'" he asks. I don't wanna tell him "She cannot be scared okay?!" I say angrily and concerned "What is wrong with her?" he asks a little worried "She's sick Toby, okay?" I yell "What?!" he asks "Yeah, she has a problem with her heart, this let herself be closed with strangers, she is afraid of strangers because she barely leaves the house, and if she got too much scared she could have an heart attack. And you're not going to be the one that let her die okay? YOU'RE NOT GONNA TAKE HER AWAY FROM ME!" I yell, he gets closer, and whispers in my ear "Spence, I'm sorry, I-I didn't know" "Of course you didn't you were not the one that brought her to the doctors and you're not the one that saw her crying in pain, you were not there! I was!" I say more angry. "I know, I know" he says with that tone of voice that makes my heart melt every time, he hugs me and I start to cry, I then here a voice "What is going on?" Yvonne asks, we pull away and I go away saying "I'm sorry, for yelling Yvonne, I wasn't mad at you" and then I walk out of the door.
