Marjorie's pov

I open my eyes slowly, still lying on Reese. He was scrolling aimlessly on his phone, didn't really look like he was paying attention to any of it, clearly he's been up for a little bit.

"Hey." I say, I stay in the same position though.

"Hey sweetheart. Feeling better today?" He put his phone down immediately, giving me his undivided attention.

"Yes, but I would feel better if I knew my nursery hadn't been blown up." I look at him, he rolls his eyes at me.

"Autumn already called, your nursery is fine. Just chill out and stop worrying, they can handle 2 days without you."

"I wouldn't be so sure if I were you. Carly gets confused if there are too many instructions for food, Jodie is.. well Jodie and Autumn and Winter can't keep their hands off each other for 5 minutes." I turn over slightly to grab my phone and text Carly. As soon as I started typing, my phone got taken out of my hand.

"Reese!"

He smiles down at me. "You really can't take a break can you?"

"No, I cannot. Are you sure I can't go into work today?" I plead.

"Mandatory leave, love." I groan at his response, he can be very annoying sometimes.

"What am I supposed to do then?"

"Sleep, you need it."

"I just woke up after sleeping since 20 past 5 yesterday. I do not need to sleep."

"Fine Marjorie, don't sleep, but you're not going to the nursery."

"Ugh, can I at least have my phone." I ask, he passes it back to me. I text Carly instantly, asking how everything was going. She said everything was fine and that Autumn turned out to be quite a great boss, but I'm not too convinced. I have a bad feeling that something is going to happen.

"What if something happens and I'm not there?" My anxiety is at an all time high, I never take time off of work.

"If something happens, no matter how serious, you know Carly will call you straight away and I will drive you there. I promise." He reassured me, kissing my forehead. I could feel my face heating up and I lost my voice. I just laid my head back on him, I don't trust myself to speak. Not that there's anything left to say he's obviously not letting me do anything but sleep today.

A little while later,

I must've fallen back to sleep, because, I woke up to Reese calling my name and as shaking me slightly.

"Hm?" I mumble, still half asleep.

"Marjorie, Carly called." He said. I shot up straight away, what?

"What happened? What's wrong?" I'm spiralling in anxiety and Reese knows. He sits up next to me, drawing circles on  my back in an attempt to calm me down.

"Mia and Kenny have turned up at the nursery." He states carefully. I whip my head round to look at him, didn't his dad ban them from the premises?

"Let's go then." I say, getting up. I grab my clothes, get changed in the bathroom and freshen up; brush my hair, a little make up etc. Me and Reese got into his car and he pulled out, practically speeding. We finally got outside and I rushed indoors, Reese obviously couldn't keep up because he arrived at my office 2 minutes after me. I stood in front of both Kenny and Mia, who are behind my desk, Autumn and Carly at my sides.

"Mia this is getting really boring now." I say. "You guys aren't even allowed to be here."

"Oh Marjorie, you're always trying to ruin the fun. It's only just getting exciting." She says as Kenny starts walking towards me, I turn to look at Reese. Please understand.
