The Boy With A Child

Chapter 65

                               Onyx's POV
"Why are you still standing in my living room?!"

"Oh shit! Y-you're serious?!"

"Oh he's dead serious."

"You talk too much. You have 20 seconds now."

Alister ran out of my house.

"Mommy's not getting killed. It's okay. It's okay."

"I don't want mommy to die!"

"Oh sweetie I know. I don't either. Shhh. Mommy's right over there. She's locking the front door. She'll be here in a few seconds. Don't worry."

Marionette looked over my shoulder. She ran over to Primrose. She started hugging Primrose. She started rubbing Marionette's back.

"It's okay. I'm right here."

"If he comes back to this house, I'll make him regret it."

"I know you will."

Marionette sniffled. Primrose kissed the top of Marionette's head.

"It's okay sweetie. I'm right here. Relax. I'm not going anywhere."

"Can I punch him? PLEASE let me punch him."

"Let daddy...punch him!"

"See what you did?"

I threw my hands up.

"Not my fault."

I stood up.

"I'm kinda joking."

"You're not joking are you?"

"Nope. Not at all."

"Sweetie go to your room. I'll be there after I'm done talking to your dad."

"I don't wanna leave you!"

"I promise, I'll be there soon. I need to have a private conversation with him."

Marionette ran upstairs. Primrose crossed her arms.

"Do you want to end up in prison?"

"Relax. I won't get caught."

Primrose pinched her nose bridge.

"I-I can't with you. Jesus Christ, Onyx Stone Jericho.."

"Y-you're either sad or pissed when you full name me."

"I-I don't even know how I feel."

"Are we arguing? Please don't tell me we are arguing."

"No. We're not. We're just having a regular conversation."

"Sooo....we're not going to bed angry?"

"No Onyx..we're not going to bed early."

"Phew! I really hate doing that."

"But...we've never done that before."

I laughed awkwardly.

"Me and Amy did."

Primrose kissed me.

"We won't do that. We don't have a reason to. I am going to play with our daughter. Go....study or something."

"I think I've done enough studying for the week."

She kissed me again.

"Go occupy yourself."

"How?"

"You'll find a way."

I moved hair off, of her shoulder. I started kissing it.

"Onyx, not right now. I told Marionette, I'd play with her."

"But...you told me to occupy myself."

"I know. I meant not with me."

"But-"

"Onyx later."

"MOMMY! COME HERE!"

"And that's my cue."

I groaned.

"Damnit.."

"Oh! Here's an idea! Have Jenny come over! Maybe some of this family shit, will start to make sense!"

"I do not think so. I'm still coming to terms with this."

"I'm sorry."

"No. Don't be."

"Let's..finish this conversation later."

She kissed me again then walked away.

"Five more seconds?"

"Don't tempt me!"

"Oh? I'm tempting you?!"

She started running up the stairs. I chuckled.

Good to know I still tempt her.

I could shower.

I'm pretty sure..I smell a bit.

Yeah..

I went to my room and got clean clothes. I walked into my bathroom and shut the door. I put my clean clothes on the counter. I turned the water on so, it could heat up. I started thinking about, what O could do, to occupy myself.

I could do laundry.

I could make dinner.

I could do the dishes.

I could clean the house a bit.

Damnit..

There has to be a way, I can do something that'll help Prim.

Primrose's POV
Me and Marionette were playing with her dolls.

"Mommy?"

"Yes?"

"Do you think..Roxie is going to be my best friend?"

"Mhm. As she gets older, I think she will. You might argue a bit but, that's just what sisters do. I argued with Ellie a lot."

"Did you hit her?"

"Oh no. No no no. Why do you ask?"

"Every time...daddy argued with Mason..he'd get hit."

"I unfortunately know. Why do you ask? Have you been hit?"

"No."

"Good."
