Luke groans as his little one jumps on the bed next to him, squealing "daddy daddy up up up!"

Usually, her pretty long black hair bouncing around in her face and her excited expression and cute squeals and giggles would make Luke smile and laugh and kiss his little girls face all over.

But today, Luke did not smile or laugh, and he did not find it cute or amusing.

"Delilah, knock it off! Get off!" He snaps, and Delilah giggles, plopping down on her butt before crawling on top of Luke.

"No, I mean it delilah. Get off!" Delilah pouts at his grumpy voice and face but doesn't get off.

"Mean. Daddy mean." She says, trying to master the warning look her daddy usually gives her.

"I mean it delilah, get off and go to your room!" Delilah glares at the blonde man as she crawls off the bed and stomps her way to her nursery. She mutters to herself in her own language, which feels foreign now, she hasn't spoken it in months.

Delilah changes out of her pajamas and into a black sweater and black leggings, hoping to express her anger in any way she can, since she can't actually ask "why the hell are you being such a damn jerk face, mate?"

She marches down the stairs as loud as she can and begins opening cupboards and slamming them, but still no response.

She lets out something between a scream and a groan, and hears Luke groan upstairs.

"Stop it delilah! If something is broken down there you're getting a Spanking!"

Delilah rolls her eyes before yelling "fuck daddy!"

"DELILAH!" Luke yells as he finally gets out of bed and marches down the stairs.

The pale girl shrieks and runs into the coat closet to hide from the tall man.

"Come here, Delilah!" Luke warns, getting no answer from the little. "I mean it little girl!"

As she heard Luke search the house, Delilah was terrified for a second. She didn't want to be afraid of Luke but she was right now. She didn't know why he was so angry even before she started being a brat, and if he got out of control no one was around to stop him from hurting her.

It broke Delilah's heart for a second that she was afraid this man that she'd confided so much trust and love in was going to hurt her.

Tears slipped past her eyes as Luke stomped about looking for her and she tried her best not to sob.

"Delilah come here right now!"

"Safe!" Delilah finally sobbed out, cringing and shooting farther into the closet as she heard Luke's foot steps approach her hiding spot. She sobbed louder as he yanked the door open, trying to push his hands away when he tried to grab her and sobbing the word over and over again.

"Delilah." Luke groaned. "Calm down and come out of there." He tried to calm his angry tone but wasn't very successful.

"Safe." Delilah whimpered as she scooted out of the closet a bit. Luke tried again to pick her up and she shrieked out a "no!"

"Delilah." Luke growled as she continued her sobbing.

Finally he ignored her protests and picked her fighting body off the ground.

"No daddy! Sowwy! Pees! Sowwy! Safe!" She screamed as Luke's rough grip dragged her sobbing body to her nursery.

"I warned you Delilah, you know better than to act like that." Luke growled, scaring Delilah further.

"Daddy bad! Mean!" She sobs. Luke sits on the chair as he sighs and tries to bend the little girl over his knee, and then all hell breaks lose.

Delilah screams as loud as she possibly can and if you didn't know you'd think she was being murdered. She kicks and screams and fights against Luke's hands as he attempts to restrict her, and when she finally breaks free she darts out of the door and down the stairs, headed for the front door as Luke yells and cussed at her.

"Come back here delilah! Fucking hell! NO! Delilah if you go out that door-" the door slams as Luke runs down the stairs as fast as he can and opens it to see the pale girl rubbing across the street and sobbing out "safe!"

Luke chases after her, still in his flannel pajama pants and a t shirt, cringing when a neighbor woman stops Delilah, delilah shrieking and trying to pull away as the woman questions her, eyeing Luke suspiciously as he catches up.

"Safe!" Delilah screams, hiding behind the older woman.

"I'm so sorry, she's my little, she was throwing a fit and took off." Luke tries to explain calmly, reaching for Delilah's arm, but to his surprise, both her and the lady she's hiding behind yank back, and the greying woman puts a protective hand on Delilah's shoulder, keeping the little behind her.

"Um, ma'am, really I-" Luke sighs, seeing how this situation could look incredibly suspicious. He squats down so he's eye level with Delilah from a safe few feet away.

"Delilah, come back to daddy. Come here." He says gently. Delilah glares and tugs the lady farther away from Luke, sniffling and whimpering.

The woman also bends down to look at the little girl, keeping an eye on Luke.

"Who's that man, sweetheart? Is that your daddy? Is he safe?"

Delilah only sniffles and raises an eyebrow at the gray haired woman.

"She doesn't speak much English. Ma'am, I'm sorry, I know it looks bad, but really she's just-"

"Well I don't feel comfortable releasing her to you wen she seems terrified of you." The woman scolds harshly, giving Luke a judgemental look.

"No! No, she's not scared of me, really, she's just throwing a fit and doesn't wanna get in trouble-" the woman cuts him off with a raised hand.

She turns back to delilah. "Delilah?" She draws the girls attention back to her. "Who's that?" She points at Luke.

Delilah points at Luke too, a frown prominent on her face. "Daddy." She mutters.

"That's daddy? Is he good?"

"Bad. Mean." Delilah sneers. Luke sighs and rubs his face.  How the hell is he gonna get himself out of this one?

The woman glares at Luke and tugs Delilah further away. "He's bad? Do you wanna go back home with him?" Delilah shakes get head. "Do you wanna come with me?"

Delilah gulps. Not really, but she doesn't wanna go with daddy either, right now.

"Safe." She mutters, stepping farther away from Luke.

"I can make sure you're safe." The woman assures.

"Delilah, daddy's Safe-"

"I'm calling the police." The woman states as she pulls we phone out.

"No! No no no no, please! I promise it's not what it looks like, she really is- I'm not a bad-" Luke groans. He looks pleadingly at delilah. "Cmon babygirl."

She only glares.

"Please, ma'am, look, let me prove it to you! If you still wanna call the police after that, fine, they'll go to the place I got her from and find out she's mine, but it'll just cause a lot of unwarranted stress and trouble on me and delilah." Luke begs, trying to reason.

"How do you expect to prove anything?" The woman sneers.

"I can- Uh, I'll call my friends, and my mom? Let delilah talk to them and you'll see this really is just her throwing a fit." Luke hopingly looks on at the lady.

"Fine, but I will not be easily convinced. I'm not in any hurry to hand a vulnerable little over to a man who would be abusive or something."

"I totally understand." Luke says, although he doesn't quite. What about him makes this lady think he's abusing g his little girl?

Luke pull out his phone and looks at Delilah. "You wanna see nana, Delilah?"

"Nana." She agrees, reaching for his phone.

"Wait, wait." He sighs, FaceTiming her.

"Hey Luke, what's up?" She answers.

"Mum, Delilah's kinda got me in some trouble this morning, would you talk to her? I'll explain later."

"Nana!" Delilah whined, grabbing for the phone as Luke glares at her a bit and hands it over.

"Hi nana." She sniffles. "Daddy mean."

"Daddy's being mean? Were you naughty Delilah?" Liz raises an eyebrow knowingly. Delilah pouts and shakes her head.

"Daddy bad."

"But you still love daddy, don't you baby?" The lady peers over Delilah's shoulder.

"Uvoo." The little one agrees. "Want nana? Papa?"

"No, you gotta stay with your daddy, hun. Nana will talk to you later though."

"Bug bye?" Delilah sniffles again, tear flow rate decreasing.

"Yes, bug bye, give daddy the phone?" Delilah reluctantly hands over the device, glaring at the blonde. He refrains from scolding her to be nice, deciding it's not a good time.

"Is everything okay, Luke?"

"Like I said, I'll explain later. Thankyou."

He hangs up and looks to the lady. "How does that prove anything?"

Luke holds back a groan. "How bout my friends? She calls them her uncles." Luke looks to Delilah, she looks interested.

"How could I expect you're friends to tell the truth if it means ratting you out?"

"They- I was just hoping- I mean Delilah knows them- I don't know ma'am. She's not scared of me. She's just being bratty and having a fit, really. I don't know how to prove that to you."

"Then I'm taking her to my house and calling the police."

An idea pops into Luke's head and he smiles lightly.

"Alright, say buhbye Delilah. Daddy's gonna go and you're gonna stay with this strange lady." Delilah looks skeptically at the woman, then back to Luke. The woman knows exactly what Luke's pulling, but she supposes if it works then she'll believe Luke.

"No."

"Yep. You don't wanna come with daddy, so she's gonna take you home. Bye!"

"No!" Delilah shrieks. Luke begins walking backwards towards the street.

"Daddy!" Delilah whines.

"Daddy's leaving, you're gonna stay with her."

"No!"

"Mhmm, because you decided to be naughty and trick this lady into thinking you don't wanna be with daddy, so now you're not gonna be. She's gonna take you. That's what you wanted."

Delilah begins sobbing and tugs away from the lady. "Want daddy! Want daddy! Pees! Sowwy! Want go daddy!" She begs as she runs to Luke and hugs around his stomach.

Luke looks up to the lady with a raised eyebrow as he lifts the little one into his hip.

"Are you sure delilah? I thought you wanted to leave daddy and go with her?"

"No!"

"Well then you better convince her not to take you away from me. Tell her delilah."

Delilah lifts her head from sobbing into Luke's neck and turns to the lady.

"Good daddy! Want daddy, no go, want go daddy!" She begs.

"You wanna go with him?" The woman asks.

"Es pees."

"That enough proof for you?" Luke sighs. The woman responds with a sigh of her own.

"I suppose. She definitely doesn't seem scared of you now."

"Little throw fits." Luke mutters passive aggressively.

"Didn't seem like a normal fit." The woman glares.

"Well, I guess I understand why you'd be concerned, better to air in the side of caution."

"Exactly. But I'm still skeptical, and next time I will not be so forgiving with you."

Luke gives something between a smile and a glare. "Have a lovely day."

Delilah continues sobbing into Luke's shoulder as he carries her back into the house, thankful he was able to convince her to let him off the hook.

Admittedly, he was being an ass this morning. Delilah was just acting out because of his attitude, and he feels bad that he made her think he was leaving her, but it's was necessary so he didn't get the police called on him. That would not look good to the adoption agency.

"Delilah." Luke hums.

"Safe." She mutters, still terrified that Luke's going to hurt her.

"You're safe.  But that was very naughty. You don't run away from daddy or act like that, you know better. But daddy was being mean this morning too. If you ever do anything like that again they're gonna take you away from me for a while. Do you understand?"

"Es dada. Sowwy." She whimpers. "No go. Want daddy. Baby daddy."

"Mhm, babygirl stays with daddy.

"Baby Gil stay it daddy. Safe."
