"Are you sure you're okay?" Oliver asked, holding Pippa in his arms.
"Yes, I need to see him. it's been two months since I last saw him in person" You said, cooing at Pippa. She had been letting you get more sleep recently. You were very thankful.
"Okay, I'll be here if you want to call or anything!" He shouted as you walked through the door, heading for your car.
Recently, you felt more comfortable in yourself, finding you could be more independent than before. You also changed up your hair a bit, getting colour added to some parts of your hair. You liked the change, it made you feel somewhat rejuvenated. Oliver was also a great help, though you constantly reminded yourself that was not Onceler, they just looked the exact same.
On the journey to the prison, you debated if you should tell Onceler about his long lost brother or not, deciding it would be best to leave him out of it.
"Name of Prisoner and reason for visit?" The officer asked.
"Onceler and to tell him about the baby" You said, the officer looked a bit shocked but shrugged nonetheless. After they searched you, you were shown to the family room. It looked more bleak than you remembered, perhaps because you were more focused on seeing Onceler than the room itself.
You saw him walk through a doorway, in handcuffs. He immediately sped up his walking when he saw you, god he looked so depressed.
"Y/N?" He sobbed , trying to hug you. An officer held him back.
"No touching" He sat him down, you sat across the table. You took in his appearance, those blue eyes no longer looked so bright, more dull infact. His hair was scruffy and he had a bit of stubble. He had large bags under his eyes and furrowed brows. You'd never felt so guilty in your life.
"Wow, you look-"
"Different? I could say the same for you" He laughed synically. You frowned at his reaction, thinking he would be happy to see you. This didn't stop you from caring of course.
"I'm sorry I didn't come to see you sooner, Pippa has been quite demanding" You chuckled. He frowned deepened more.
"I want to see her. It's my right as her father" He said, staring at you.
"Am I not enough? I didn't feel comfortable bringing her here"
"You've shown your lack of interest for me now. The guys in here tell me you'll probably be asking for a divorce by next year" He scoffed, you could hear the underlying sadness in his voice though.
"The guys? So some criminals opinion matters more than mine now does it?" You said, getting offended and sad at his meaningful words.
"You forget Y/N, you are also a criminal. Granted, you got away with this. These guys, they've seen everything. They've seen how men deteriorate in here. I won't stand for it. If you want a divorce, get it over with. But I want to see my daughter." He finished. You were in utter shock, tears falling down your face as you replayed his words in your mind.
"Do you want a divorce?" You asked, fearing the answer.
"That's not the point! I know you want a divorce Y/N, that's fine I can't stop you. But I won't leave my daughter behind."
"Does our relationship mean nothing to you? You said you did what you did for me" You said, tears falling down your face.
"And I did, I wouldn't lie about that. I've had a lot of time to think in here, so I think you would know if I didn't love you anymore. I do, but everything is different."
"You've changed" You said through a shaky voice, his face remained stone cold, as if he had premeditated this conversation in his head.
"That makes two of us" He said monotonously, before standing up and leaving the room. You were left shaking and left as soon as you got the courage to.
You got got back into your car, breaking down in tears. You couldn't breathe, heart racing faster than you thought it could. You were panicking. He thought you wanted a divorce? He was completely different. How had this all happened within months. You dreaded to think of what he would become in 15 years time.
You started your car, hands shaking violently. You got a few yards down the road before stopping it, you were in no state to drive. Fuck, where did it all go wrong? You were married to a convicted murderer, who you also had a child with. What the fuck? This exact thought weighed up exactly why you were so weary of relationships in the first place. You took deep breaths, calming yourself down.
Once you were a little calmer, you drove home, still crying profusely. You couldn't help it though, you loved Onceler. He was capable of making you so happy, and so sad. Depressed even. You tried to understand what he was going through, you also decided that next time you visited you would bring Pippa with you. He was right, he needed to meet her. It would be cruel of you if you kept him away from her. When he was let out, she needed some sort of relationship with him.
You got home, shutting the door with a sigh. Oliver looked at you, concern filled his eyes. The tear stains on your face said it all. He put Pippa in her cot and walked over to you, hugging you tightly. You broke down, again. Your only comfort being Oliver, and your baby girl. He looked down at you, wide eyes.
"She missed you" He said quietly. You could feel the tension between the two of you.
"I missed you too" He whispered. No, this was too much. You broke from the hug, walking over to Pippa laying comfortably in her cot.
"I appreciate you Oliver, but this can't go anywhere. " You sighed, he nodded, understanding the situation.
"I know, either way, I missed you." You sat on the couch, resting your head on your arms. He sat down beside you.
"He's changed. Everythings changed" You sighed.
"I know. I know" You leaned your head on his shoulder, furrowing your brows.
"You're so good to me, why?" You asked.
"Because you need me. Think of me like a comfort pillow" He chuckled, you smiled up at him.
"Your shoulder is quite comfortable to be fair" You chuckled.
"I can't tell if that's a complement or not" He said, you laughed.
"Yeah, I think it is." You smiled. He was reminding you more and more of the Onceler you loved. Your Onceler.
Got you in the first half HAHA.
