Will's POV

The next morning, I tangled myself out of Sweet Pea's arms to throw up in the toilet. I held my hair back and quickly tied it in a low bun to keep it out my face.

"Are you okay?" asked Sweet Pea kneeling down next to me on the floor, and rubbing my back.

"I feel terrible, and exhausted." I groaned.

"I don't think you should go to school today." he replied.

"I'm fi--" "You're not fine, you need to just relax today, okay."

"Okay," I said.

"I'm home." Sweet Pea called out.

"In the nursery." I replied. I was just finishing a mural I'd painted on the wall.

"Oh my god." Sweet Pea said, when he saw the art on the wall. "That's amazing."

"It's not that good." I said. Sweet Pea put his hands on my, now quite big, belly.

"They're going to love it." he said.

"What gender do you think they are?" I questioned.  "I think it's two girls." he said. Suddenly, I felt a baby kicking.

"Do you feel that?" I asked Sweet Pea with a huge smile on my face.

"Yeah, I did." he said, and smiled at me.

"I love our little family." I said.

"Me too. I love you." Sweet Pea said, standing up.

"I love you too." I said, and he kissed me passionately.

Flashback: 

I opened the door of my house and reluctantly entered, shutting the door behind me. I tried to keep into my bedroom but my mom caught me.

"Willow? Where do you think you're going?" she shouted. I walked over to my mom, fear in my eyes.

"To my room." I said.

"I don't think so." Mom said and grabbed my wrist roughly. "What the hell is this?!" She pointed to a report card. 

"My report card." I said, confused.

"Don't be cheeky with me, you little shit." she said, smaking me across my face. My hand immediately going to the red mark on my face. "That is an appalling grade."

I looked at the page, a C+ being my lowest mark, and a B+ as my highest. "I studied okay, I'm just not good at school." The woman punched me in the face and I fell to the ground.

"You are going to pay." she muttered. She picked my up by the neck, stopping my even breaths, turning them to panic. The crazy person continued the grip on my neck, but tightening with every waking moment.
