Keeping the Attraction

[melbender]

First topic message reminder :

"sleep" he groaned with a yaw."it's too early and you asked me to stay."

I finished rinsing my mouth as he kissed my cheek and spoke "I love you too, and I thought since you had an early meeting that you wouldn't want him around."

[melbender]

"i think he needs to cut alcohol out of his life. He's been drinking far too much lately." I rested my head against his side, my arms holding his mid section tight. "I won't have my boys hitting people, especially women."

[Demona]

"Let's get some sleep baby" i laid back in the couch and brought her to me curling up with her "just relax. We'll talk to him in the morning when he's sober."

[melbender]

I nodded, trying to doze off but couldn't. I laid there, watching Steven sleeping and wondering if he'd ever punch me like he done Noah. I heard some thudding about and got up to see what was going on. 


Noah fell to the bathroom floor, throwing up loudly. He felt a hand against his back "Mum?" he frowned, groaning in pain as he threw up again. 


"it's ok. Let it out and then I'll help you back into bed."

[Demona]

Steven woke up to the smell of wggs and bacon. He stretched and went to the kitvhen to see Noah and Ally. "Good morning." He said sitting down.

Serena called jason and asked him to meet her at Emily's firm. She was pacing her office waiting him to come over. She had asked him nit to tell anyone she was here.

[melbender]

"morning" I smiled, sliding a coffee over "sleep well?" I asked. Unsure how this was going to go. "Noah and I have spoken, and he's going to move back in with us for a bit."

Jason walked into Emily firm, confused as to why Serena was being very secretive. He entered the room, and frowned immediately noticing her bruised cheek. "I'll fucking kill him!"

[Demona]

"Uhum..." I took a sip of my coffee and looked at Noah "you'll find serena amd you'll apologize to her. I won't let my son treat a woman like that" i was speaking calmly. I took another sip of my coffee and looked at Ally "if him living with us will do him good then i don't mind".


"Daddy" she ran to him and burried her face in his chest crying softly.

Emily entered the room shaking her head "jason" she smiled at him "she's okay. She called me last night and i picked her up from the hotel she stayed with me. She wouldn't let me call you"

Serena pulled away "i just didn't want you to get mad, i... I was so scared of him i left as soon as he fell asleep. Daddy i'm going to Europe for a few weeks i need to get away for a while but please you can't tell him i don't want him to find me"

[melbender]

"I know.." he said his head bowed in embarrassment. "I didn't mean to hurt her.. I'd never want to hurt her."

"he is going to do more than apologise to Serena. He's going to never lay his hand on another person again. He is going to pack a bag, come home with us. Then you're going to do whatever it takes to show the woman you love, that you'll never hurt her again." she said quietly, disappointed in him. "Noah is also fired. He's taking time off of work and there's no alcohol."

[Demona]

"Fired?" I sighed "i'm afraid to ask but, what happened last night? How did you mess it up? The clients were already happy with your mom's plan and they were just supposed to sign the deal last night with you. So enlighten me son, what happened?"

(Jason?)

[melbender]

Noah shrugged "I don't know.. We were talking, everything went fine and then they brought drinks over. I felt sick and couldn't see. I just lost it.." he sighed hating himself. "i hit her. I can't believe I hit her."

Jason frowned, pacing the room. "I don't want you to see that boy again, you Hear!" he warned, hugging her back tightly. "if you go, then I won't say anything to anyone if that's what you really want."

[Demona]

"I can't believe that either. That's not how we raised you. And why have you been drinking much lately?"

"Thank you" she hugged him tightly "my flight is in an hour, i should head out".

"When you get there ask for Henry Anderson, he'll be your superior there." Emily said softly "and call me when you get there."

[melbender]

"are you ok?" Jason asked, sitting down as he watched her "promise me you won't go back to him."

"I know dad.. I dont know, I just drank too much. I'm trying to please everyone, and it's just building up."

"well no alcohol, and no work" Ally said, feeling sick. "pack your things, I'll clean up in hete.." she watched Noah walk away and said quietly to Steven. "don't you dare let Joason touch him Steven."

[Demona]

She put on a smile just for his sake and nodded "i'll call you every day, just don't let them know i'm in Paris. I'll finish my internship there at Emily's branch in Paris. I won't call him or talk to him. I'll switch my phone off and get a new one i promise".

I sighed "Ally, you don't need to ask me that. I've never let anyone hurt my children i won't start now. But even if Jason comes after him he deserves it. He hit his daughter Ally, if Mason did that to lily, i wouldn't let her speak to him again and i would kill him!"

[melbender]

"damn it Steven I know! I want to kill him myself!" i snapped, banging my fist on the bench top. "I spent years with a man who beat me and be fucked if I will ever let my son treat a woman that way." she said tears in her eyes. "but you will not let Jason or mason lay a hand on him, we need to be here for Noah and something isn't right. He needs our help." I blamed myself for for this.

Jason left Emily office, and dialled Stevens number.

[Demona]

I hugged Ally "don't think about the past, he's gone Ally he can't hurt you anymore. I'll deal with Jason" just as i said that i saw his name flash on my screen "oh well, speak of the devil." I answered it "hey, did you find her?"

[melbender]

"yes. She's going to Europe for work. Her cheek is bruised Steven. You need to give me one damn good reason not to come up there and kill Noah with my bare hands!" he growled low and angrily.

[Demona]

I sighed looking at Ally "he deserves to be punished Jason i know that. But i already bruised his face, Ally fired him from work and he's coming back to live with us. And we both know how much he loves her, being away from Serena will be torture for him."

[melbender]

"don't tell Noah. Serena doesn't want anyone knowing." he warned. "I'll be taking a few days off. Keep Noah out of my sight Steven." he ended the call. 

Ally finished throwing up when she came back into the kitchen. "you'll take Noah in his car. I'll see you both at home."

[Demona]

"What? You just threw up i'm not leaving you alone. You're going with us"

[melbender]

"Im ok. I'm just-" I stopped, covering my mouth again. I took a deep breath and lowered my hand "I'm ok. I would like to sleep afyer Noah is settled in."

[Demona]

"Come here" i hugged her and kissed her softly "Noah is waiting in the car already. Let's go"

[melbender]

"I didn't feel this sick when I was pregnant with the boys." I pointed out. "I feel so exhausted and the day hasn't even began." I didn't know how I would cope when I was further along. "maybe we could get a cleaner, just twice a week"

[Demona]

"Okay, we can do that. Do you need me to carry you?"

[melbender]

I raised a brow "you haven't carried me since our wedding night. I'm ok to walk." smiling as his kind offer. "morning sickness, isn't fun."

[Demona]

"Yeah tell me about it" i smiled and carried her anyway taking her to the elevator "i did carry you after our wedding night, just not as much as i should have"

[melbender]

"I know, I was teasing." I smiled. "i like you carrying me, and taking charge. You make me feel taken care of."
