Onyx's POV
"While you three chill here, I'm going to start laundry. Mari do you have any dirty clothes in your hamper?"
Marionette nodded.
Primrose got up.
"I'll be back in a bit."
She walked away.
"Daddy? Mally has to meet Ellie."
"When the time is right, he will. He just got here. Let's give him, a few days to at least get used to the house."
Malakai started rubbing his eyes.
"Daddy? Why does the lady hate me?"
"I'm not sure buddy. Get some rest. You can sleep for as long as you want."
He shut his eyes.
"He doesn't know what snuggles are."
"I know."
Marionette stood up on the bed. She walked over me.
"Umm princess? What are you doing?"
"I wanna show him how to snuggle!"
She laid down on my left side.
"Watch me!"
Malakai sat up. Marionette put my arm around her. She started snuggling with me. Malakai started shaking.
"What's wrong?"
"I don't wanna get in trouble."
"You won't."
He laid how Marionette was. He started shaking more.
"It's okay. I won't hurt you."
I started slowly rubbing his back.
"Daddy and mommy are the best!"
"MJ how is your tummy?"
"Better."
"You probably need to take your medicine again soon."
"Okay."
I looked and saw Malakai's eyes were closed.
"MJ, you have to be careful with your brother. For 5 years, he didn't have what you do. Amy was very cruel to him."
"I know. I will."
"Thank you. Mommy mentioned that, he freaked out when, he heard yelling."
"He was so scared."
"I bet. I think, all loud noises scare him. Try not to shout until, we can get him some help."
Marionette and I fell asleep. We woke up when we heard screaming and crying. We jumped up. Malakai was curled up into a ball. I immediately picked him up then, put him in my lap.
"Go get mommy."
She jumped off my bed. Marionette started running.
"Mal? What happened buddy?"
"They both were hurting me!"
"Who? That lady and the man?"
He nodded. I started rocking him.
"They aren't here. Shhh. It's okay. They won't get you."
The girls ran back into my room.
"What's wrong?"
"He just woke up crying and screaming. He thinks they're coming for him."
The girls ran over to my bed. They started holding him also.
