Three years go by. You and William are now married. Margaret is three years old, now. You all live in the same house William bought for you guys. You both still call her peanut. Nickname for her. William is influencing her to be just like you guys. And much to your joy, Margaret has been looking up to him.

Right now, you're in the kitchen, making dinner. Margaret is sitting at the table in her little booster seat to sit at the table better since she's still too little to sit there without one. She's got an iPad and playing a game and a small bottle of Gatorade next to her. 

Since you and William are influencing her and teaching her your ways, you've stumbled upon a game that seems toddler friendly, but involves the characters being killed. It's like the show you and Fantasia used to watch as kids. Happy Tree Friends. But less blood and guts. William is at work at the moment.

As you cook over the stove, you can hear Margaret giggling and saying, "Take that, bunny boy. Die by my turtle hands. Haha. Revenge." You look back and you say, "You like the new game daddy and I installed for you, peanut?" She looks at you and she smiles and giggles saying, "Yes, mommy." 

You smile at her and you say, "I love you so much, baby." She says, "Love you, mommy. I love daddy, too." You say, "I hope you're hungry. Mommy's making your favorite." She grins and says, "Spaghetti!" You say, "That's right, peanut. Spaghetti it is.~" She grins and giggles. 

You say, "Oh, you're just the cutest thing in the world.~" She giggles. You smile at your daughter. You face the stove and you say, "Daddy should be here anytime now, baby." She says, "Yay! Daddy!" You whisper, "I love having his company too, baby."

A moment later, the front door opens and in comes William. He says, "(Y/N)! Margaret! I'm home from work!" You yell, "In here, baby!" He hears this from Margaret, "Daddy daddy!" He smiles and walks into the kitchen to see you and Margaret.

You and Margaret see him. She grins and gets down from her chair. She runs to him saying, "Daddy! Daddy! Daddy!" He smiles and kneels down. He holds his arms out and he says, "There's daddy's girl. Come here.~" He takes her and he holds her close. She hugs her arms around him. She says, "My daddy." 

He says, "Were you good for mommy today?~" She nods and says, "Yes, daddy." He kisses her on the cheek and he says, "You're my favorite little girl, Margaret honey. Daddy loves you so much." She says, "Love you, daddy." He looks at her and he says, "You've got such pretty eyes, baby." She smiles and giggles. He kisses her on the forehead and he brings her back to her seat.

You face him. He looks at you as he sits your guys' daughter down in her booster seat and he says, "Smells good." You smile and you say, "Thanks, baby. I figured I'd make Margaret's favorite for tonight." He says, "Spaghetti?" You nod.

You get the stuff done and you make plates. You all sit and you all eat your dinner. You look at William and you say, "How was work, by the way? Anybody lacking a shit ton of jobs? Again?" He says, "That's why I'm there, sweetheart. To help them the best way I can. Any job they can get. I love having you along my side as my assistant." 

You smile and you say, "I love that you're influencing our daughter. Teach her your ways. Ahem... OUR ways. I come from a long line of..." You and William both look at Margaret. She looks at you and she says, "Murderers." She grins. 

You say, "That's right, baby. You're next to be one when you're older. You'll be able to use knives and blades then." She says, "I can't now?" William says, "You're not ready just yet, baby. But daddy will show you how to use a knife in a few years. I want you to start off with bugs and a needle for now. Understand?" She nods and says, "Okay, daddy." She eats her spaghetti.

You look at William and you smile and say, "I've told you numerous times, baby. She looks up to her daddy. You are all about loyalty, aren't you?" He says, "Yes I am. The earlier I teach her, the better. I should've done that with... Well, you know who." 

You nod and you say, "Starting with a V?" He nods and says, "Yes." You say, "Believe me. You're given a second chance with your second daughter. Teach them while they're still little, right?" He smiles and nods. You all continue eating dinner.

*************************************************************

Later on at night, you and William are in Margaret's room. She has her room upstairs now since she's three and has learned to walk up and down the stairs. Besides, the stairs are carpeted. A bit safer that way... kind of.

You and William are reading her a little bedtime story. She's laying on her toddler bed. She still has Hello Kitty decor, but just a different bed since she's three years old, now. You have a tablet in your hands and you're on some site where there's creepy stories. And since you and William are raising her that way. Influencing her to be like the both of you.

You look down at Margaret and you say, "So then, Hansel and Gretel are led off into the woods by their ahem... 'loving' mother. She told them these words, "Stay right here. I'm going to the store." She left and they have waited." 

Margaret says, "Then what happened, mommy?" You say, "Well... The night approached and still, Hansel and Gretel's mother had not returned for them. Gretel looked over at Hansel and said, "I'm scared." Hansel replied with, "It'll all be okay Gretel, my dear sister. I'm sure mother will come for us." They continued waiting." 

William says, "And the next morning... they woke up. Still, their mother hasn't returned." You look at him and you whisper, "This is like a lot of moms out there." He nods. You and William look at Margaret and you say, "Gretel says, "Where's mother? She's not here." Hansel says, "I know. We can walk along this path and see if we can find her." Gretel smiles and says, "That's a good idea." 

Margaret says, "What happens, now?" William says, "Eventually, Hansel and Gretel stumble upon a house as they walk along the path. It's a house made entirely out of candy." Margaret grins and says, "I like candy." You look at the tablet and you say, "Hansel and Gretel approach the candy made house and they start to eat off of it. They were having the time of their lives." 

William sees this and says, "Just then... the front door opens and there's an old woman. She sees the children and asks, "What are you two little ones doing out here all alone?" Hansel says, "Our mother. We can't find her." The old woman says, "Oh, you poor children. Come on in. I'll take care of you." She lets them in." 

You say, "You would think this would lead to the old woman being a witch and wanting to fatten the little ones up, but no... She had something else up her sleeves after hearing about the mother of Hansel and Gretel." 

William says, "After they told her what had happened, she gladly offered them candy, cake... You name it." You say, "She said this, "So... Your mother left you out in the woods, huh dear children?" They nodded. She tells them this, "I'm sorry to have to be the bearer of bad news children... but your 'dearest mother' abandoned the two of you. Wanted nothing to do with you." 

Margaret gasps and says, "No!" William smirks and says, "So, the old woman devised a plan. She told the children, "Stick with me, kiddies... and we'll be rid of that retched witch of a mother of yours. And they called ME the witch." 

You say, "The old woman came up with something. Hansel and Gretel paid close attention to what she had to tell them. They hear it and they smirk and nod. They suddenly had that more... sinister look on their faces and they shook hands." 

William says, "They walk through the path of the woods and find Hansel and Gretel's family home. Axes in their hands. The old woman approaches the window and looks in. There, the mother and father are. Having the time of their lives. Laughing. Enjoying themselves. The father says, "Thank god, those retched kids are out of here." The mother says, "Ha! Those clueless annoying little brats thought I'd come back for them. How funny is that?" They both laugh."

You say, "This infuriates the old woman and she kicks the front door open. The parents look over and they gasp. They see an old woman... with their children Hansel and Gretel." William says, "But the children had a different look on their faces. This time... it was not of love. But vengeance, hatred and justice." 

You say, "They all charged at the mother and father, attacking them. They raised their weapons and they started to stab, chop and slaughter the mother and father, over and over and over, leaving them screaming. Finally... Gretel gave the last blow. Holding two axes. One in each hand. She says, "Enough out of both of you." 

William says, "Gretel lays the axes down through both of their necks, killing them instantly." You say, "The old lady says, "Now you two darling children can live in peace. Not have awful parents like these two. Come now. I'll take care of you." Margaret smiles.

You say, "And just like that, the old woman took good care of both Hansel and Gretel. She raised them like she would have her own. She took care of them until the day they both turned eighteen and went on to live on their own." 

Margaret sighs and smiles, laying back in her bed. She says, "I like that story." You and William smile and you grab each other's hands. William sighs and whispers, "I couldn't have asked for a better life than this." You whisper, "Me neither, baby." You lean against him.

You pull the covers up on Margaret and she falls asleep. You and William lean down to kiss her goodnight. You whisper, "Goodnight, peanut." William whispers, "Goodnight, baby." You both sit up and you look at each other.

You whisper, "You're teaching her well, baby. She's already got that sick mindset like us." He smiles and he quietly says, "It does run in your family too, sweetheart. Keep up the legacy for as long as possible. You and I are perfect for each other. So long as Margaret's loyalty, love and respect for me remains, I'm a proud father." 

You say, "She loves you, no matter what, Will." You both lean in to kiss, then you pull away. You both get up and you walk to the door. You shut the light off and you leave her room, shutting the door behind you.
