Adopted

chapter 12

Small Trigger warning

The day was dark as grey clouds formed. The rain hit the glass as The trees whacked the windows from the heavy winds. The small blond seven year old sat on the floor in the rain, crying his eyes out. It was a punishment he was facing. He was caught a few hours ago nicking some bread from the kitchen. He was shaking violently as the tears didn't seem to stop. His body was sore from the beatings he had taken for Tubbo. The large doors opened and a lady walked out, hair in a bun as she wore a black dress. "Have you learnt your lesson?" she asked, putting up an umbrella. "Y-Yes ma'am" The lady smiled cruelly as she pulled Tommy up by the hair. "If I or any of the staff catch you doing that your rations will be cut again understood?" Tommy nodded

His food rations were reduced to a slice of bread and butter with an apple while everyone else was given a carton of milk, two cheese or ham sandwiches, an apple, two biscuits and a fruit winder. "I-I'm s-sorry miss" Tommy choked out as he was dragged inside and shoved to the floor. "You better be" She growled before slamming her high heel down on his-

Tommy shot up screaming as he was breathing heavily. Lights turned on around the house as the door swung open. Tubbo was cradling Tommy as the blond cried and gasped for air. "What happened?" Niki asked running in. Her mother like instincts kicked in as she picked Tommy up in her arms, rocking him back and forth. "Shh, I've got you. It's okay" she whispered. Wilbur and Phil ran in next. "What going on?" Wilbur asked, mainly to Tubbo. "H-He had a nightmare" Tubbo mumbled. 

Phil walked over to Tubbo and hugged him. "It's okay. He'll be okay" The brunette nodded. Wilbur looked over to his girlfriend to see her babying the young blond as she whispered praises to him. "She's a natural" Phil said, wiggling his eyebrows. "Shut up" Wilbur mouthed. "I think I'm going to take him to the living room, is that okay?" Tubbo nodded. "Yeah, go ahead Niki. I think it will help" Phil smiled. Niki smiled back as she walked to the living room with the thirteen year old. "Does this happen often?" Phil asked. "Well...we've b-been here for five months now a-and it's happened three-four times so maybe" Tubbo mumbled. "It used to h-happen a lot in the orphanage but I think he feels s-safer here the reason it doesn't happen everyday" the two males nodded. "Alright, try and get some more rest. If Tommy isn't in the room when you wake up, Niki will be with him" Wilbur smiled. "Love you Tubbo" Wilbur said. "I love you to" Tubbo yawned as he got comfy .

"Night night papa" Phil froze slightly before turning to look at the brunette. Tubbo had fallen back to sleep.

"I...good night son"
