Blame it on love

P15, not now

His brown eyes are focused at the couple, who are being intimate, touching each other. Daniel wants to be in Marcus' position, wanting to be the to touch her. Feeling her skin underneath his fingertips. When he invited the family to stay at his place it was because he thought he would be gone, but he's here, he's here with his friend. 'Mate you're starring.' Daniel is being pushed out of his thoughts, I was? But he knows he was. 'What going on with you and that sheila? You got the hots for Daley?' His friend teases him, who doesn't know the story. Daniel looks down at his coldie, softly shaking his head.

Leaving the bathroom Marcus crawls underneath the fabric. 'Babe.' Just by the tone of his voice she knows something is up, but she stays focused on her phone.
'Mmh,' she mumbles. Her eyes move over the letters of the article about curls. Very interesting, but knows she'll never apply it to her own her. Cause she still prefers straight over curls, even though it has been looking nice here in Aussie, where she doesn't bother straightening it cause she's in the water allot.
He wraps his arms around her. 'Why don't we make a baby?' He had the thought when he was in the shower. He wants what? Turning around, still in his arms, she faces him. The soft smile on her lips gives Marcus hope but it's false hope.
'A baby? You wanna..' but she doesn't finish her sentence, shocked by those words. He was the one who wanted to wait for kids when she said it. Now their roles have switched.
'Yeah, I want a little D running around. We would make good babies.' His hand moves over her frizzy edges, he doesn't really like the curls.
'I don't know Marc.' Softly she shakes her head. She's still flabbergasted. His hand moves underneath her shirt, up her chest - his lips to her neck.
'Come one baby.' What wrong with him? He has never touched me this much since the beginning of our relationship. Knowing this is cause of Daniel, he's having a big influence on her boyfriends mindset.
Trying her best to push him away she speaks: 'Marcus please, let's talk about this first.' Slightly confused he looks at her.
'You're the one who always wanted a baby, here I am D. You still want babies right?' Does he really think it's that easy? Wow. He's unbelievable.
'Yes, I do, definitely. But I really think we should have a good conversation about it, like is this the right time?' They're both very busy. She always said she wanted kids at a young age, but now that the moment is there, she isn't so sure yet. Already feeling that there is too less time in a day, a kid would only make it worse. But deep down she feels like he isn't the one anymore. 'Lets focus on getting married first aright? Well see what the wedding night's gonna bring. We're young, we have plenty of time.' She smiles. But Marcus isn't too happy about it, he'll let it rest for now. Daley leans in for a quick kiss. 'I'm tired, goodnight.' Putting her phone away she closes her eyes, trying to fall asleep.

'Can you stop taking the pill?' Here we go again. Her eyes close. Neither does he listen, I haven't been taking the pill for two years, as she has a spiral. Pushing herself up on one side she looks at him. 'Please baby, I want you to have my baby.' But do I?
'Shut up Marcus! Can I have time to think about it?' Is that too much to ask for?
'You had a whole night.' A chuckle leaves her mouth. This can't be fucking true.
'You're kidding me right? I fucking slept! I'm going to be the one who's going to carry the child for 9 months, I need some more time to think about it alright?' For some reason he forgot that for a second. Babies don't appear themself.
'But just keep in mind this would be perfect, a little you around.' Not thinking about the "bad" things of a baby. Daley doesn't wanna hear this any longer. Her hand moves through his blond frizzy morning hair. Her lips touching his skin, moving her leg over his body.
'Shut up.' When he wants to continue speaking she moves to his lips, having to shut up now.

'Are you ok?' Shocked Daley looks at Daniel standing in the door opening. As quickly as she can she moves the sheets over her naked body, even though he has seen it, multiple times. 'I heard you two fighting.' Sex didn't shut him up for a while. Marcus has his mind stuck on making a baby right now, she hates it. Believing they need to fix their relationship first.
'Please leave Daniel. He'll be even more pissed when he sees you here.' As Marcus can get agressief sometimes.
'Are you sure?' He can feel the tention between the two of them from miles away. Seeing her hurt is not the way he wants to see her, he wants to wrap his arms around her and see her beautiful smile.
'Go! I'm fine.' Her smile assured him a little, but not allot. Daniel disappears out of her sight, but not much later his head pops around the corner again.
Making Daley roll her eyes, but also smile. 'Sure?' Daniel sees a pillow coming his way, easily he catches it.
'Asshole,' she mumbles under her breath. With a smile he throws it back, winking at her before he really leaves. These little things she loves, he's being serious but also not. She misses jokes, Marcus has a really bad humor.

With her hand on her hip she turns around while speaking: 'Daniel stop it! I'm trying to make some brekky.' He has been throwing little papers at her, wanting her attention. The smile on her face betrays her from being fake mad.
'Am I distracting ya?' He asks as he continues throwing at her. One falling exactly on her chest falling down her shirt in between her breasts, making them laugh. She takes the paper out when they've calmed down a little and throws it back.
'No you're irritating me.' She turns back around. One time she's being close to Daniel, the other second she's being distant from him.
'Did you do your morning workout? You're a big cranky.' There was no family workout this morning.
'Shut up, I'm not, cause I did do some sorta workout.' A smirk on her face when a great idea pops in her head. Daley fills a glass with water, turns around facing Daniel again, before Daniel knows it he's covered in water.
'Mate.' Giggles leave her mouth, but when Daniel gets up from his stool she gets a bit scared. Oh no, what's he gonna do? 'You're fucked.' They start running rounds around the kitchen island. But Daniel is quicker than Daley so it doesn't take long for him to catch her. Neither one of them has noticed Harper walked into the room, with her son on her arms who's eyes are red from crying. Daniel lets water fall down on her. Giggles leave her mouth.
'Let me go, the food is burning.' Slowly Daniel lets her go, making Daley quickly go back to the food. Marcus and Daniel his eyes meet when he turns around, he doesn't look so happy. He saw it all, they running around, the giggles. It bothering him, allot.
'G'day.' Daniel sits down, like nothing happened, while all evidence is still there. When Daley looks over her shoulder to see who he's talking to she knows they're fucked. Marcus would wanna go up to Daniel and start punching him, but he knows if that's gonna happen, his relationship is over with Daley and her father - which he's still trying to fix. So without saying a word, just an angry look, he goes outside.
'Sis, I'd suggest you follow him.' Without even looking up from her baby she speaks. Daley knows that and she will, but she doesn't want this anymore.
'Can you watch it?' Daniel nods. With reluctance Daley follows the blonde haired man outside. Marcus pushes her arms away when she's trying to touch him. Well alright, he's being a baby. 'I'm just having a little fun Marcus.'
'Yeah right.' He doesn't look it her, he's starring into the distance. Her hand touches his torso, wanting to fix this, but he wraps his arms tight around her wrist, not wanting her touch.
Her eyes on her hurting wrist. Okay this hurts. 'Mate can't you see you're hurting her?' Both heads turn towards the house, where Daniel is yelling.
'Stay the fuck outta this!' He's only making Marcus more angry.
'It's alright Daniel.' Not that was he's doing is alright, but she got this. Daniel hesitant disappears back inside. 'Can you let go please?' His eyes move down, letting go of her. Daley takes a step back. 'I don't wanna fight, not now.' Not ever, she hates this.
'Go back to that dick than, suggest you fuck him.'
'Alright I will.' Wrong word choice, but she is done with this bullshit of his. His head quickly moves towards his girlfriend. Did she..? 'I'm kidding.'
'No, I fucking know you're shagging him.' A sight leaves her mouth.
'Don't do this Marcus.' Her head is shaking.
His anger gets more with every word. 'Yeah sure, this is all on me! Of course it is, It always is.' She is gonna end this, not wanting this when it's Christmas, Christmas means happy times, not fights.
'I'm not saying that, I'm-' she doesn't finish. 'I'm not doing this with ya, we'll talk once you've calmed down. I don't need to see you now.' She turns around and walks back, devastated. When she has entered the house she lets herself fall down next to her sister on the couch, her hand in the palm of her hands, as her elbows lean on her knees. 'I freaking hate him.' Not wanting to curse around her nephew she keeps it clean. Feeling like she could burst into tears she tries her best to hold them in. Harper wraps her arm around her little sister, who hates seeing her like this, she wants her happy.
'He'll turn around.' Looking at her nephew it already makes her softly smile, he is a happy little fella. Who has no clue about anything happening in the world. Daley looks up to her sister, she's a strong, independent woman, who's raising her son all by herself - the dick left them when he was 3 months.
'I'm so done with the fighting, he gets mad at the smallest things. I don't want this.' Daniel isn't sure if he should be present at the sisters conversation.
'I know. He is just triggered, jealous of you having a laugh with that handsome dude over there.' She winks at Daniel. Harper has no clue about what's going on between Daniel and Daley, which is a surprise to Daley; she normally figures everything out, like a detective.
'What was going on?' Tobias enters the room, who saw everything outside. 'Where is Marcus?' He is slightly triggered, first saying he'll be sweet and whatever to him and then he hurts her.
'Dad stop. He's gone.' Tobias is pissed, planning on having a conversation with him.
