My shoes splashing in the puddles as I ran, sweat and rain making my hair stick to my forehead, the cold night air pinching at my skin. I ran, and I didn't look back. If you are wondering why I was in this situation, let me tell you..

Flashback

I stared at the door in shock as the men slammed their fists on the door, my eyes still red and puffy from crying when I learnt my husband had abandoned me and our child after "they" found out where we were. He left us to die... He never told me of his business, or where he went while "working". But stupid me had trusted him.

I shot up when I heard something breaking down the door, was it an axe? Knife? I did not want to know. I ran to the bedroom and grabbed my son from the cot. I then grabbed his white and blue blanket and bundled him up so he could be warm while we escaped.

As the men kept trying to bust down the door, I looked for somewhere to escape. I ran around the room trying to find things I might need. I grabbed a stack of cash and noticed a window, yanking it open. My (h/l) (h/c) shot backwards as the cold, damp air hit me like a brick wall. Tears stung my eyes as I jumped out and slid down the roof.

My head shot up as pain shot throughout out my ankles as I landed on the concrete. I looked up and saw how high the drop was, my eyebrow rose and thought how stupid it was, but better to be alive and have fractured ankles than to be dead.

So then I started running, and ran throughout the rainy streets as I cradled my son. His tiny hands gripped onto my shirt and his face buried itself into my chest. I glanced behind me as I heard shouting, oh shit...

End flashback

As I was running, I couldn't help but stare at the oddly shaped trees. It was dark so I couldn't see, but I could make out that they looked... Swirly? But round. Odd. I dodged the tree trunks that got in my way, swiftly twirled around one and jumped over a lump of rock.

Suddenly, I noticed a few lights in the distance. Despite my legs being sore and tired, I sprinted. My legs burned and burned but I knew I needed me and my son to be safe, that's if the person living there would let us in.
I slowed down my pace and hobbled towards the door. My knuckles made contact with the door and I knocked..

Once-ler's POV

I was knitting my thneed to the rhythm of my humming, lightly tapping my foot that hung over the edge of my bed. My humming stopped as I heard a light knock at my door. I dropped my thneed on my desk and went to see who was outside.

I opened the door and met a beautiful woman, she had (h/l) (h/c) hair, shiny (e/c) eyes, however her facial expression looked, tired, sad even! I noticed the rainy weather behind her and how dark and wet her hair was, plus the cold air was getting me aswell.
"Oh, please! Come on in!" I exclaimed and moved to the side to let her in. Her head dipped to thank me and she took a step inside, sliding off her shoes and standing by the door.

"T-thank you.." she gasped, presumably trying to catch her breath, I saw a small smile on her face, I smiled back at her. "Take a seat! Marshmallow?" I tilted the bag of the sugary goodness towards her
"Are you sure? I don't want to be a bother.." she mumbled as she took a seat
"No really, go ahead, here!" I handed her the bag and a light blush formed in her face, she looked adorable! My eyes then went to a white and blue bundle she was holding.

"Watcha got there?" I questioned, she then started to unravel what it was, and.. oh my, it was the cutest baby I had ever seen! My eyes widened and I couldn't help but 'aaw!' out loud. She chuckled while me and the baby locked eyes, I patted it's soft head and left to get a towel.

I came back and she was rocking her child slowly while humming a tune, I smiled and handed her a towel
"Thank you" she smiled and rested her baby on her lap. I sat on the seat near her and began to ask her a few things.

"So, let me introduce myself! I am the Onceler, but you can just call me Once!"
"Thanks for letting me in Once, my name is (y/n), his name is (c/n)" she gestured towards her baby
"So, what brings you here? Why are you out here at this time and in this weather?" Her face dropped and she looked at the floor
"Long story, but my husband had some 'trouble' with his business that he has never told me about. He left the country and for me and (c/n) to die, they found out where we live bad came to kill us but I escaped." Her eyes looked puffy and watery but she wiped her tears before I could say anything.

I looked at her sympathetically
"I..I'm so sorry, i-if you want you can stay here?" I smiled and gestured around the house,
"Like, I do have enough space so you won't have to worry about that, there's plenty of food.." I trailed off as I began listing.

Your POV

I watched Once with wide eyes as he listed why I can stay, my eyes weld up and I leapt at him, I hugged him with my left arm, holding my baby in the right, I sobbed into his shoulder
"Thank you, thank you.."

He patted my back and chuckled, we parted and I wiped my tears and smiled at him, my eyes widened and I looked in my pocket for money, I handed him a few hundred pounds (I'm a Brit okay?)
"This is for letting me stay, thank you thank you thank you!" I bounced on my tiptoes, crying happily. He chuckled and waved his hand dismissively
"No need to pay me! You can spend it on new clothes, or anything you need." He smiled at me

Before I could reply, my eyes and his eyes went wide when we heard (c/n) cheer loudly while reaching for Once

"Daddy!"
