Dancing with the wolves

I dumped the kids at dads and dragged Rowan with me to work.
"Why the fuck do I have to come?" He asked clearly pissed of about this.
"Because you need to get out the house and I'm on my own at work so your gonna help me." I said.
"Oh yay." He said sarcastically.
"I've even had a word with my boss and you'll even get paid for what you do today." I said.
Rowan looked at me.
"You being serious?" He asked.
"Proper serious." I said.
"I fucking love you." He said.
"Should think so. I'm the best sibling you have." I chuckled.

The first thing I did when I got into work was to put the radio on.
A song which I liked came on and I quite happily started to dance to it as I showed Rowan what to do.
"And now we wait?" Rowan asked.
"What you complaining about? You have free coffee and music." I said.
"Just a bit boring." He said.
"You sound like Will. Part from your not calling me beautiful or babe." I said.
Rowan chuckled.

The door opened and a regular came in.
"Mrs David. Haven't seen you around for a while." I said.
Mrs David was a little old woman who I really love because to me she was like a grandmother I never had.
"Stupid bitches think I'm not mobile enough to see my favorite coffee girl." She smiled.
"Why aren't you in school boy?" Shje said to Rowan.
"That's my brother Rowan. He's been kicked out of school for a few days." I said.
"I bet your parents call you the bugger because you look like one." Shje said.
Rowan just looked at her shocked.
"The normal Mrs David?" I asked.
"Oh yes please love, and one of them gingerbread men. But don't tell anyone." She said and sat down.
"You'll just have to let everything slide what she says." I said quietly to Rowan.
"Batshit crazy she is." He said.
"I heard that young man!" Mrs David said.
"And she's not deaf." I said quietly in his ear.
"Here, you give it to her and keep her company." I said and handed him the tray.
"Have fun." I said and looked at the next person.

Mine and Rowans shift had finished and I was getting coffee for everyone at the tattoo shop.
The person who was doing the next shift came in.
"Hey Aid. Oh who's this cutie." Daisy said.
"He's too young for you." I chuxkled.
"How do you know?" She asked and looked Rowan up and down.
"Daisy, he's my brother and he's 15." I said.
"Oh, well that's a shame." She said.
Rowan moved and kind of hid behind me.
"Anyway you are after that fitty that comes in." I said.
"That's true." She said.
"What's with all the coffee?" She asked and looked at me.
"Tattoo shop. Gonna be getting a new tattoo." I said.
"Oh is that cutie still there?" She asked.
"I dunno, I only eye my husband up." I said.
"Need to get another tattoo then I can go and look for myself." She said.
"And on that note I'm going before coffee gets cold." I said and walked off with Rowan following closely behind me.

We got to the tattoo shop.
"Hey gays." I said.
"Oh my days you have promoted yourself as my new favorite person!" Someone called Ashely said and ran over and got a coffee.
"Eyes of bitch she's mine." Will said from the back.
"He's a bit young to be here." Someone called Jinx said.
"Don't worry he's not after a tat, if he is he's not having one. I don't want our parents killing me." I said.
Rowan went over to the sofas and made himself at home.
The door opened and a customer walked in.
Jinx went off with his coffee and started with him.
I went over and sat on Rowans legs.
Ashley came over and sat on the arm of the sofa.
"Where's your rugrats?" He asked.
"Spending the day with their grumps." I said.
"How is your dad anyway?" He asked since he was friendly with dad.
"He's alright. Taking the easy life now." I said.
"How's your sister? Finn?" He asked guessing her name.
"Finn's okay." I said but I knew something wasn't right.
Will showed up.
He smiled when he saw me and finished with his customer and came over and sat on me meaning Rowan was getting crushed.

"So what do you want me to do to you then?" He asked as we walked to the back.
"I dunno." I said.
"You had all morning too think what you want." He said.
"Well I was busy." I said.
Will sat next to me and kissed me.
"Where do you want it?" He asked.
"Thighs." I said and slapped his thighs.
"You want both?" He asked.
"Yeah." I said.
"I'll do one today and another tommorow." He said.
"Fine with me." I smiled.
"But we will have the kids as dad and Pa are going out tomorrow and I have no one to dump the kids on." I said.
"Give them to Jinx he loves them." Will said.
I smiled.
"I'll draw something up and see if you like it." He said and grabbed he stetch book and sat next to me and drew away.
"Black and white or coloured?" He asked randomly.
"Black and white." I said.
About half an hour later he had finished.
"Christ you look so serious when you use your brain." I chuckled.
"And you don't?" He asked and rolled his sleeves up showing my artwork on him.
"Shush." I said and nudged him.
"So. What you think?" He asked.
One design was of 3 roses with a compus and a quote. The other was a dreamcatcher with a couple of feathers and on one feather there was a couple of birds flying away.
"I love them." I said and looked at him.
He looked down and smiled.
"Which one do you want me to do?" He asked.
"I dunno, you choose." I said.
"The quote, I've got one." He said.
I looked at him.
"Since it's going to be near your scars, I thought about putting they don't need to understand. Because no one really needs to understands why you did it." He said and looked down.

Before we got married I hit a really really low patch.
I self harmed and nearly killed myself but I managed to recover from it.
Will thought it was his fault but it wasn't. Even I don't have a clue why I did what I did but I did it and I've recovered and I'm not going down that road again.

I made Will look at me.
"It wasn't your fault." I whispered.
"Feels like it should of been. Like I should of stopped you and helped you." He said.
I pulled him to my side.
"Well it is not your fault. You did everything you could and now we just move from that and look forward to our future with the kids." I said and kissed him.
He looked at me and smiled.
"You did more than what you know you did." I whispered and kissed him again.
"So you like that quote then?" He asked.
"I love it." I said.
"Hate to say this love birds but we're closing." Ashley said and walked in.
"Ash we could of been having sex." Will said and I slapped his chest.
"He's joking Ash." I said.
"I was going to say well damn could of said and I would of joined." He said.
Will was always protective of me especially if people was making jokes about sleeping with me.
I felt Will pull me closer to him.
"I was joking Will. She looks like she would out run me anyway." He said and I looked down and blushed.
"Anyway, we have to pick the kids up." I said quickly before the awkward silence consume us and got off the table I was sat on.
Will did the same and stood behind me.
"Will you have made your point." I said seriously.
He walked off and got his stuff and I went to see what Rowan was doing.

"You okay trouble?" I asked.
"Yeah, Ash said I could help here at the weekends." He said with a huge smile on his face.
"Ash you didn't have to." I said.
"Sure I do. Looking at the stuff he has drawn I'm pretty impressed by it." He said and looked at me.
"Look, I'm not coming back. As much as I loved doing this I don't see me and Adam working alongside each other without one of us killing each other." I said and Will came out and jumped on my back.
"Will you heavy bastard get off me!" I said.
He got of my back and jumped on Rowan.
"Well we miss you Aid." Jinx said.
"I miss you guys too." I smiled.
"Do I seriously have to play mother hen to you two as well?" I asked and watched Rowan and Will mess around.
"One of you is going to get hurt." I said and looked at my nails and someone grunted.
"Told you so." I said and saw Will hold his crotch.
"Got you asshole!" Rowan laughed.
"Hope you didn't want anymore children Aid." Ashley said.
"Well I defently cant have any now." I chuckled.
Will looked at me.
I smiled at him.

We got the kids and we went home.
We all got into our PJs and we all piled on the sofa and cuddled each other.
I was cuddled into Wills side who had Flo cuddled into his chest and Ziggy was cuddled into my side.
Will had his hand resting on my leg and tracing his thumb over my scars.
"Can we have a fishy?" Zig asked since we was watching finding nemo.
"Maybe, but you'll have to ask daddy." I said and looked at Will.
He was asleep and so was Flo.
"Get mummy phone." I said to Zig quietly and he got of the sofa and went to the table and got my phone.
He handed it to me and I took a picture.
"You tired Zig?" I asked since he was rubbing his eyes like he always did when he was tired.
He nodded.
I moved and Will snorted and woke up and looked at me.
"Hello sleeping beauty." I chuckled.
"Fuck off." Will muttered and looked at Flo who was asleep.
He got up quietly and walked over to me and kissed my forehead like he always does when he goes to bed.
"Night babe." I said and picked Zig up.
"Night beautiful." He said and went upstairs.
I followed and put Zig to bed and read him a story and went to bed.
Will was flat out asleep and hogging the bed.
I climb into the little space I had and cuddled into his side.
"Fucking hell Will that stinks." I gagged.
"Ha. Pay back bitch." He mumbled and rolled over so his back was to me.
"I fucking hate you." I said and rolled over so my back was too him.
Will must of guessed I wasn't going to cuddle him so he rolled over and pulled me close to him and kissed behind my ear.
"Love you." He whispered.
I hummed in agreement and fell asleep.
