"What about her?" Alex asked, "Oh she's perfect. Welcome to our happy little family, Cleo." I said as I held the newborn, "Who wouldn't want a sweet little girl like her?" Alex said, "I don't know, but it's their loss." I said, "Honey this might sound strange, but what year is it?" I asked, "Are you kidding me, honey?" Alex asked I just looked at him, "Oh, oh wow you're serious. It's October fourteenth, 1992." Alex said, "T-that's right, how could I forget?" I said, "Well you are almost five hundred and thirty-two honey." Alex said before he kissed me.

It was about two-thirty in the morning when Cleo started crying, "I've got her." I said as I got up and went to the baby's room. "Hey, hey you're, alright baby girl, you're alright." I said as I picked up the crying infant, "Well you don't need to be changed so you must be hungry." I said, "I guess Daddy didn't feed you before bed, let's go get you a bottle." I said as I carried her downstairs. "Ok, ok hold on. It's still a bit too hot baby girl." I said as I bounced the crying baby, "Alright there you go." I said as I fed her the bottle, "You're such a good girl, you're just a tad bit too dependant on Mama. Not that I mind that a single bit." I said, "Mama will always be there for you." I said. 

"Mama." Cleo said as she ran over to me, "There's my sweet baby girl!" I said as I scooped her up, "Such a big girl. It's hard to believe you'll be turning five!" I said making her smile, "MARIE!" Alex shouted, "Not again." I said as I sat Cleo down, "Sweetie go play Mommy and Daddy have to talk." I said as Cleo held onto my leg, "It'll be ok sweetie I promise." I said as I made her let go of my leg, "Just go play for Mommy ok baby girl." I said Cleo nodded and walked away. "Marie!" Alex said angrily as he stumbled into the room a drunken mess. "You look horrible." I said coldly, "Oh yeah well no one asked you, whore!" Alex said angrily as he punched me in the stomach, "Just admit it already! You never really loved me!" Alex shouted as he grabbed my hair, "I-I love you I have always loved you! Why else would I marry you!" I said in fear, "YOU'RE LYING TO ME!" Alex yelled as he threw me to the ground and kicked me over and over again, "ALEX STOP!" Abdiel shouted as she pulled Alex off me and punched him knocking him out, "Marie sweetie are you alright?!" Abdiel asked, "D-Did C-Cleo, did Cleo see any of that?" I asked, "No, no I don't think she did." Abdiel said I could tell she was lying, "Marie sweetie I hate to be the one to say this, but maybe it's time." Abdiel said, "N-no, no I-I couldn't C-Cleo needs her father." I said, "Except he is not her father Marie!" Abdiel said as she helped me up and into a chair, "Marie I am so afraid for you! I'm so afraid that he'll come here drunk like this again and, and I won't be there to stop him and if that's the case then he is going to kill you." Abdiel said, "Please just divorce him you and Cleo are my only real family." Abdiel cried, "Hey, hey we'll be alright. But you're right if it weren't for you I probably would've been killed by now." I said, "Speaking of which h-how did you know to come here?" I asked, "You can thank Cleo for that, I gave her a panic button that's connected to my phone. If she pushes it I come running." Abdiel said as Cleo walked into the room, "Hey there kiddo." Abdiel said as she hugged Cleo, "Auntie Abbie!" Cleo said happily as she hugged her aunt. "Why don't you go play with mom for a while, while I go lock daddy up in the basement." Abdiel said sweetly, "Otay!" Cleo said, "Thank you." I said.

"Wow, it's hard to believe it's been five whole years since you divorced my little brother," Abdiel said, "Now look at you happily remarried and you're adopting another baby! I admit that I was a little shocked to hear you're adopting again and not having one of your own." She said, "Well that's because Aaron can't have kids of his own. But he's so good to Cleo and I know he'll be just as good with the new baby." I said, "I take it you have no regrets then?" Abdiel asked, "Well maybe just the one." I said, "Oh and what would that be?" Abdiel asked, "Well you know we've already met the new baby right. Well, it's a girl, her name's Terra and she's a month old. And well this is kinda embarrassing but uh, I just wish I could feed her myself you know just like any other mother with a baby her age you know." I said, "Well, I don't know if there's anything I can do to help you out with that but I'll see what I can do. I mean I've got like what a month before she gets here, I'm sure I can find something." Abdiel said, "Abdiel no you don't have to!" I said, "You're right I don't have to but I want to because we're family." Abdiel said as she put down her glass of wine and hugged me, "Thank you." I said as I hugged her.

"And up we go!" I said playfully as I lifted up Terra when there was a knock at the door, "Oh Daddy must've forgotten his key again. Cleo sweetheart would you mind letting your father in please?" I said, "Ok Mommy." Cleo said as she ran to the front door, "Auntie Abbie!" Cleo said happily, "Hey Cleo bear, how's my favorite niece been?" Abdiel asked as she walked inside, "Ah there you are Marie and this little cutie must be Terra oh she is just precious," Abdiel said, "Which makes this that much sweeter." She said as she pulled a vile out of her purse, "Drink that and you'll be able to feed your baby girl just like you wanted." Abdiel said, "Abdiel this is. How did you even?!" I asked in shock and disbelief, "Well um let's just say I had a client with some rather unusual interests. Now I won't go into any details but it works alright. Now the effects only last for a day so I'll have to keep supplying these to you. And as far as I'm aware it's nonaddictive." Abdiel said, "Thank you so much Abdiel. You've done so much for us already and now this." I said, "Don't mention it. Now go take your medicine it'll take a few minutes to kick in so while you're doing that it's time for me to have a little bonding time with dear sweet little Terra." Abdiel said, "You wanna spend time with your auntie Abbie don't you." Abdiel said as she played with Terra. I went to my room and drank whatever it was Abdiel gave me, "Let's hope this works." I said, "MARIE WAKE UP!" Blake yelled suddenly I felt someone slap me, "W-what the Hell?!" I said in shock before I felt another slap.

"MARIE!" Blake yelled as he prepared to slap me again, "Don't even think about it, darling." I said groggily, "Oh good you're awake. Apparently you pissed off something and whatever it was put us under some sort of spell making us relive our memories on loop, it got us all even me." Blake said, "How long have we been asleep darling?" I asked, "Almost four days. Now I'm going to go get something to eat." Blake said, "Alright darling I'll be down in just a tick." I said as he left, I got up, opened my closet, and pulled out a locked box. I opened the box and pulled out the vile inside, "Such good times, I can't believe I had almost forgotten about this." I said.

"YOU SON OF A BITCH! Give me one reason why I shouldn't beat the ever-loving Hell out of you right here and now!" Blake yelled angrily, "Blake darling please no yelling, Mummy's got a magic headache." I said, "You said she was safe! You lied to me!" Blake said as he punched a man in the face before slamming the door. "Darling, what's wrong?" I asked, "Oh Cleo's agents just showed up and told me that something has been watching my aunt. So now I'm going to go save her." Blake said, "Where is she darling?" I asked, "Kansas." Blake said, "Well then we will go together. You, me, Cleo, and Terra." I said, "Thanks." Blake said as I hugged him, "You're welcome, darling." I said.
