MollyI'm so angry at Christian that I don't even realize how quickly I put all my shopping away. Fuck I can't even remember where I've put half of it, great! I need to distract myself for a while so I get started on setting up my new laptop so I can check in with work when Tom comes bouncing into my room and does a very dramatic show of falling on my bed as if he's just finished a 24-hour shift at a busy nightclub. "You ok there twinkle toes?" He takes a moment to think over what I've called him before his famous cheesy grin spreads wide across his face."Twinkle toes, I like it!" We both burst out laughing as he gets comfy next to me while my laptop quickly springs to life. '"I'm going to make dinner tonight give mom the night off. Pot roast and apple pie ok?" My mouth instantly waters at hearing what's on the menu tonight, the guy is one insane cook and it's been too long since I've tasted any of it."Yesss!" He chuckles at my response but I dont even care."Hey, Tom. Why do you
Molly I keep a firm grip on her wrist as I move around Christian so that I am now standing in between Amy and him except I'm standing so close to him that I can feel the heat from him on my back and for some reason, it sends a shiver through me. She tries to tug her wrist out of my grip but she's too weak. "Get your hands off me bitch!" She spits out, her face wrinkling up like she's 60 years old when in reality she must be in her late 20s maybe 30s. "You must be Amy?" I don't even try to sound polite to her I have no time for parents that abandon their children. "Yes, I am!" She suddenly stands proud with her shoulders out her head held high and both Tom and Zack burst out laughing while I try my best to keep my laugh in check. She tugs on my hand again but again I don't let her go "It's not nice when someone puts their hands on you when you don't want them to is it?" "Christian is my husband and I can do what I want to him!" Oh, this bitch is sure making it hard not to slap
Christian I have to admit watching Molly put Amy back in her place was fucking funny, she wiped the floor with her and didn't back down regardless of what she said. I also hate to admit that seeing Molly like that was fucking hot and a major turn-on. I've been nothing but an ass to her since she arrived here but still, she had my back; more importantly, she had my kid's back, and I can't forget that. Fuck she's even following Amy off the farm to make sure she leaves and already I know this is going to mess with my head even more. "That was fucking hot!" Jack suddenly blurts out while all my brothers quickly agree including Tom. "Molly has the biggest heart I know but she's also a tiger when she needs to be and she doesn't take kindly to anyone hurting her friends or someone she loves." "So let me get this straight... You have been nothing but a dick to her since she arrived and yet she still had your back just now?" Jack looks straight at me as he asks me the one question that I
Christian It's almost 6 and I will say that between the four of us, we have got every single room sparkling, and I've even managed a quick shower and change of clothes. Jack and Tom are bathing the kids as we speak and Molly excused herself and went upstairs to give me privacy which I appreciated. A knock on the door brings me back to the present and even though I know that everything will be fine and that there's no reason as to why the kids can't stay here I'm still so fucking nervous and more than anything I realize that I'm terrified that they will take Katie away from me and there won't be a dam thing that I can do about it. I open the door with a smile on my face but inside my heart is pounding. "Good evening Mrs. Peterson." "Good evening Mr. Bowen, please call me Sally." She has a warm smile and I'm hoping that's a good sign. "Please come in, Sally." "Thank you, Mr. Bowen." She wipes her feet on the rug at the front door before closing the door behind her and instantl
Christian I open the door to find Molly thrashing about on her bed. She's wrapped in the bed sheets but sweating like fuck. "Molly," I call out to her but she doesn't respond. I walk further into her room and towards her bed while she goes between mumbling and calling out. She's clearly having a nightmare as she's calling out to Archie begging him not to leave her and begging him to wake up. She sounds heartbroken and it gives me a feeling that I dont like. I may not like Molly but she's clearly having one awful dream and I can't just leave her like this. I wasn't raised to act like that, and I don't need to behave that way. No matter what I think or feel about her she's clearly in distress and I have to help her if I can. "Molly." I call out to her louder but still nothing, I keep moving towards the bed until I'm standing right in front of her then I lean down until I'm pretty close to her body, "Molly, wake up." Still, nothing so I gently place my hand on her arm and slowly shak
Christian Crying brings me out of my sleep and I quickly drag my ass out of bed before Katie wakes up Sophie. "Good morning princess." The moment I pick her up and hold her close to my chest while placing a gentle kiss on her head she stops crying and as always it tugs at my heart. As I do so often I start to wonder who she thinks I am. I mean she's obviously comfortable with me but then she's also comfortable with my brothers and parents still, I can't help but wonder if she thinks more of me. I wonder if she thinks I'm her dad from hearing Sophie and Brody calling me dad. I know she's only 6 months old but still, babies are more intelligent than we give them credit for. She starts babbling bringing me out of my thoughts and I walk her over to the chair that I have by my window and lay her across my lap so that I can change her diaper. I really need to invest in a changing station. Once she's all clean again I check the time and slowly groan when I see that it's 4 am and a wide-aw
Molly I wake up feeling tired and stressed, After that hell of a nightmare it took forever for me to get back to sleep and more dreams soon interrupted my sleep. Only these weren't dreams of the fire but dreams that involved Christian and today of all days is not the day for me to try and figure out what they could possibly mean. I stretch out only to quickly realize that I'm not in my bedroom or, should I say Tom's guest bedroom. Where am I? I sit up and soon realize that I'm on the couch in the living area but how the hell did I end up here? As I get up from the couch a swarm of voices quickly reach my ears including one of the cutest voices that I have ever heard which can only be little Miss Sophie. "Tom and I have the fields covered and Hunter will be here at 12 so Tom will come back in then and help you guys. Jack's voice is the first of the adults to reach me. "I've got the late shift tonight so I'm free all day for whatever is needed," That's Callum.
Christian The moment Molly's out of the room everyone at the table turns their attention towards me. “I already know what you are all thinking so save it. Yes, I was a dick to her ok but I still know that I’m right!”“Christian, what is it you think you know?” Tom's voice is more calm than before but I know him well and I know that it won’t take much to piss him off again. “That she’s hiding something. That the fact that one minute she doesn’t remember coming down here last night but then the next minute she does seems strange. Also don’t think I haven’t thought about the fact that she just upped and left both her and Archie’s family’s after the funeral and hasn’t bothered to even go back there to visit them never mind living there. And there’s also the fact that she doesn’t have a job but never seems short on money which makes me believe that she’s spending yours and I won’t have her rinse you for everything you have. No way, you worked too dam hard for that!” The more I speak th
