Father Figure

Bella's Pov

"Mum, tell Herold to stop saying bad word"Paloma cries.,"It's not a bad word!" Herold argued.

"It is! Mummy said we shouldn't say that,word"My daughter argues back.

"What word did he say?"I ask her.

"Yeah,what did I say? Herold challenges Paloma.

She shook her head.

"I'm not falling for that again Herold"she folds her little hands.

"Come tell me in my ears"I whisper to her, She nods and walks up to me,"He said the F word mummy"she tells me in her whisper voice.

I gasped and widened my eyes, he knows it is serious when I do that.,"Come here little boy",He glares at his sister and drags his little feet to me.

He folds his arms and puts up a anger,frown.,"What did I tell you about saying that word."I say in my strict tone.

"You said not to say it and I told him so many time, but he never listens to me" Paloma says in her I'm such an angel and prefect voice answering the question I asked Herold.

I want to laugh because she wasn't any angel.She might look like one and sound like one but my daughter is definitely not an angel,l,she has her share of moment too.

I hug her because she is so cute but is really ruiningmy bad cop moment.,"Baby,go and play with beauty while I talk,with Herold Yeah?"

"Ok mummy"she gives me a hug and hurries,up. I turn back hwrols ,he already has his puppy face set up.

"That won't work on me, I told you before not to say that word and you promised me you,won't.So because you broke your promise.,I gonna take all your toys and you are going time out for 10mins"

"No please mummy"he cries.,I shake my head.

I know Herold loved his toys,taking away his toys is like taking away sand from beaches.

He can never leave without his toys,they are his best friends"You could have listened to me before Herold"

He starts to cry tears running out of his eyes.,"It's not fairvuncle nathan always says it and,he never gets into trouble",

Ah ,that's where he learnt these horrible words from Nathan.

I was going to kill him,"Go and finish your breakfast, but first give mummy a kiss",He held my face with his small hands and planted a small cute kiss on my lips.

"I love you mummy","I love you too baby but I'm still taking your toys and after you finish with your breakfast.Go and sit on the stairs"I tell him in a serious tone.

He doesn't look at me, just nods his head.,I don't want to be the harsh parent but it's not easy being a single mother.

You have to be the bad guy and the good guy.They are only two and sometimes they don't take me seriously.

I needed to find Nathan, i was going to murder his ass.I have warned him,many times not to say horrible words when the kids are around.

I got to the living room and see him sitting at the far end reading a magazine after grabbing a bat that I spotted near me.

"Jonathan!"I yelled

He quickly looks up and sees me, he looked scared,very scared, I narrowed my eyes at him.

He looked a bit shaken up,"Err Ella, what are you doing with that bat?"he asks sounding very nervous.

I turned,to the bat holding it up.,"Um,I'm not sure, actually I was thinking of breaking it."I replied as I slowly switched my gaze back on him.,"On your head" I run to him.

He jumps up and runs opposite me "Give it up Jonathan, you know I'm faster than you","You need to calm down.I don't even know,what I have done..."he says out of breath.

"You are teaching my son bad words"I tried to hit the bat on him but it missed.,"What?

"How do you know it's me?"he shouts, you're the only one who swears when kids are here.."I shout back.

"I do fucking not","You just did!" I replied

"I've had enough of this shit, I can't get blamed for everything bad that happens all the fucking time!"he yells.

"See.You swore like three times"

"Shit and fucking don't count" he says

"It does if my kids say it!"I shout before jumping on to him making him fall done on his back.

I punch in the face and jokily on his arm.,"Ow, Get this crazy woman off me."he starts laughing,

"Alright alright, i'm sorry .there are you happy!I'm sorry Ella "he says as soon as he stopped laughing.

"You are such an dork"I said getting of him.

"Now go and talk Herold ,he's upset.","Why?","Because I told him he's not allowed to play with his toys anymore until I say so."I told him.

"That's a bit harsh isn't it?","I need to teach him now, I don't want him saying bad words.He's too young when you become a parent you would understand"I tell him.

He gives me a weird look, knowing him he probably won't care.,"Alright,I will take the kids to the park or something, give you little time to yourself. Plus they have been bugging me to take them to the park and buy them ice-cream"he says.

"Thank you Nathan "I pull into a hug and I kiss him on the cheeks.

Him and Lucas have been a father figure to my children.Both treat them like their own and I couldn't be more grateful, i'm glad to hear found a family in this pack.
