F I N O L A

"Hey Christopher, what do you want for lunch?." I asked, peaking my head into Braxtons room.

"Why does he get to choose??" Brax groaned, leaning back into the wall with his 3DS in his hand.

"Because he's the guest, and you can never decide on your own." I gave him the 'mom' eyes as Buck would say.

"Um, can we have chicken nuggets? And Mac n Cheese?" Christopher asked politely. I'm glad SOMEONE has manners in this house. Plus, I secretly love the Dino nuggets we have.

"Heck yeah we can," I smiled "now you two need to get off your games and go outside, it's really nice out there."

They both finally agreed after Brax tried arguing with me, and they made their way out to the backyard.

Christopher comes over and hangs out with Brax while Eddie is at work on the weekends. They're best friends by now, so I didn't see anything wrong with it. Plus, I was getting tired of playing Mario kart all day with Braxton, only for him to win every time.

I was almost done with the food when I looked out the kitchen window at the same time I saw Christopher fall off Braxton's skateboard. I dropped what I was doing and ran as fast as I could to him.

"Baby, are you okay?" I knelt down to see blood dripping down from both of his knees. He has tears forming in his eyes.

The kid loves trying new things, he even let me paint his nails the other day which was fun. But with him having Cerebral Palsy, him falling could have killed him. I have a feeling Eddie is gonna be pissed.

"Yeah I'm okay, that was harder than I thought."
He started to get up, but he stumbled a bit. I caught him before he fell again.

"Here, lets get you cleaned up and I'm gonna call your dad." I went ahead and picked him up to carry him into the bathroom. I sat him on the countertop by the sink and searched for my first aid kit.

"This is gonna sting a little bit, but I'll blow on it so it won't hurt too bad." I reassured him.

I put some peroxide on a cotton ball and gently rubbed it onto his scraped knees, and blowing it a little. I don't know if blowing it actually does anything, but my mom would always do it for me and it made me feel better. That could be a Placebo type of thing but I'm not sure. He squeezed his eyes shut, gripping my shoulder painfully tight, but I don't blame him. I know it hurts like a bitch.

I put a bandaid on it and checked for anymore scrapes or bruises. I made sure to check his reflexes and such, and made sure he didn't hurt anywhere I couldn't see. It wasn't a big fall, but I'm still worried about him.

"There ya go buddy," I helped him down from the counter and grabbed his crutches. "Lunch is ready, c'mon"

While he and Braxton were eating I called Eddie and he answered immediately.

"Hey is everything okay?" He asked, already worried. Eddie is such a good dad to Christopher.

"Um not exactly." I stated nervously. "While I was cooking lunch the boys were playing outside, and I guess Chris wanted to try to skateboard and he fell and scraped his knees."

"What," he shouted through the phone. "Finola what the hell." Yup, he's pissed. And he has every right to be.

"I know you're pissed Eddie but I cleaned him up and he doesn't seem hu-" He interrupted me

"I'm coming to pick him up," he said angrily. "Bye."

Well, I gotta go prepared to get yelled at for an hour.

A few minutes after he hung up I got a text from Buck.

Buck💛
What the hell happened? Eddie just told cap he was leaving to get chris he seemed pissed

Me
I'll explain later, but I'm sure you'll find out before then

I anxiously waited for Eddie to arrive, biting the skin around my thumb nail until it bled in the process. I jumped when the front door slammed open. I stood up with a scared expression on my face, backing away from his angry appearance.

"What the fuck were you thinking?" Eddie pointed at me.

The boys were in Braxtons room playing legos, so they didn't hear what was happening. Eddie's appearance reminded me so much of when Ryan was mad at me, so now i don't feel comfortable being in here with him alone.

"I was cooking lunch, I could see them from the window and I guess when I looked away he got on the skateboard." I looked at him with tears in my eyes. "Eddie I'm so sorry."

"Sorry isn't enough, you know what could've happened if he fell harder. He could have broken his neck for God's sake" he towered over me, holding my wrist really tight. "This is why you couldn't make it as a nurse, you're too irresponsible to even take care of two fucking kids."

"Ple-Please let go of me." I cried in fear. His eyes weren't his normal brown puppy eyes, they had a tinge of evil in them.

His eyes softens when he saw me trembling in fear. He let go and backed away from me, running his hands through his hair.

"I'm sorry." I could see the regret in his eyes. "I didn't mean to blow up like that, I'm just really protective over him."

"No it's okay," I wipe my tears "I completely understand, I would do the same."

He pulled me into a hug, and I reluctantly hugged back. "I feel like such a dick, god I'm sorry." He apologized again.

"Bud, it's okay." I said, immediately realizing what I called him.

"Bud?" He rose and eyebrow and let out a laugh.

"Yikes, that's what I call Braxton, I guess it's just a habit." I felt the heat in my face as I was blushing bright red.

"Nah, I kinda like it." He cracked a smile.

There was a little bit of an awkward silence, I didn't really know what to say after that.

"Um," I looked around the room. "We have some extra chicken nuggets if you want some."

He laughed, but accepted my offer. We ate our nuggets and chatted for the next hour until he and Christopher went home since it was almost time for their favorite show to start.

Well, that was one weird turn of events.

Hey! Sorry I didn't update like I said I would, I've been pretty busy so I didn't have time to write.
**If anyone has a particular episode they want me to write about let me know!**

Also I didn't mean to make Eddie seem abusive in this, I just wanted to kind of show a little bit of Finn's past again.

Love y'all, stay safe, and be nice to others
