"Matteo, can you come here please?" Parker held her head.

"Yes mummy." Matteo smiled as he walked over.

"Can you go get daddy? He's in his office." Parker pulled her cardigan over her.

"Okay." He nodded slowly.

"That's my boy." Parker smiled and kissed his head.

Matteo smiled and left to get Nathan. Parker sighed and winced as she got up, holding her back.

When little Matteo walked to his father's office, he saw Nathan and another woman. Matteo let out a small gasp and slowly began to back away.

"Matteo?" Nathan quickly got up,"What have I said about knocking?"

"T-to always knock." Matteo spoke quickly,"I'm sorry."

"You do not tell your mother about this, you hear me?"

Matteo nodded, his hands were shaking.

"Fuck- Get out of here!"

Matteo quickly ran, rubbing his eyes.

"Theo, sweetie?" Parker looked at him as he ran to the kitchen.

"Mummy!" Matteo hugged onto her.

"Wh- What's going on?" Parker lifted him up.

"Daddy's being bad... Theres another lady in his office." Matteo whispered.

"Another lady?" Parker looked at him.

Matteo nodded as he hugged onto her, trying not to cry. He was scared Nathan would come get him.

"What have I said? We don't need to get upset over daddy." Parker kissed his head,"You know he won't hurt you while mummy's here."

"What if he tries to?" Matteo asked quietly.

"Then you will let me know and I'll tell him off." Parker smiled,"Go to your sister... Go play."

"Okay.." Matteo nodded.

"Mummy loves you." Parker put him down, giving him a cookie.

Matteo smiled as he took the cookie,"I love you too!"

"Go on, baby." She waved him off.

Matteo happily walked off with his cookie.

Parker hesitated, grabbing her wand from the drawer. She turned around and walked to the office, opening the door. Nathan was still in there, with the other woman... Hannah.

"Oh my god." Parker covered her mouth.

"I thought I told that brat not to tell you." Nathan rolled his eyes.

"That brat is your son! And you- You can get out." Parker pointed her wand at Hannah.

"I don't think you can do that." Hannah glanced at the wand and Nathan,"Besides, my husband is cheating so I might as well."

Parker didn't care about the magic rules Nathan had placed. Of all people- Of all people he could've cheated on Parker with? Hannah!?

"Do I need to remind you who my mother is?" Parker narrowed her eyes.

"Your dead mother? You're not like her and I'm not scared." Hannah rolled her eyes.

Parker glanced at her cheating husband, not lowering her wand.

"You haven't been giving me any excitement, Parker. You haven't been fulfilling your marital duty." Nathan glared at her.

"Martial duty?" Parker scoffed,"Hannah, leave."

"Fine." Hannah sighed and walked out, rolling her eyes.

Parker lowered her wand slightly, slamming the door as she looked at Nathan,"How could you?"

"Very easily."

"How- How long?"

"Couple years, maybe?" Nathan hummed.

"Nathan, we have two beautiful children... How could you do this to them? To me?" Parker shook her head.

"You know I don't care about those pains in my ass." Nathan shook his head.

"Don't ever speak about them like that. Say whatever about me but not my children." Parker pointed.

"Are you going to stop pointing that stick at me?"

"I'll stick it somewhere-" Parker went to jab him.

Nathan grabbed her wrist and used his other hand to smack her across the face.

Parker yelped and held her cheek, looking at Nathan,"I want you to go."

"I'm to leave?"

"This is my house." Parker tried to pull her hand away from his grip.

Nathan gripped it tighter,"Really?"

"Nathan stop- Stop." Parker whispered as tears came to her eyes.

"Oh, we're only getting started." Nathan smirked.

"M-mummy?"

Parker quickly turned around,"Trixie, baby." She managed to pull her arm away,"Mummy and daddy were just playing a game." She wiped her face.

Trixie looked like she was going to cry and quickly ran off.

"No, no- Look what you've done." Parker pointed.

"What I've done? You're the one causing a scene, Parker." Nathan told her.

"I'm going to make sure my child is okay, unlike you." Parker cursed and ran to find Trixie.

"You'll be back." Nathan shook his head.

Trixie ran until she found herself outside, heading to the front gate of the cottage.

"Woah- Trixie? Where are you going?" Came a familiar voice.

Trixie looked around with teary eyes.

"Its me, hun." Erica was stood at the gate.

"Auntie Er." Trixie whined and held her hands up.

"Aw, whats wrong?" Erica scooped her up.

"Mummy and daddy- They were playing a game but mummy was crying."

Erica held Trixie tightly,"Shh... Do you want me to teach him a lesson?"

"Like a superhero?"

"Yeah, and I can protect you all." Erica stroked her hair.

"Me help?"

"I don't know, I don't want him to try and hurt you."

"Me a superhero too."

"I know." Erica kissed her forehead,"Now let's go."

Trixie hugged into her auntie, shaking.

Erica walked into the cottage, only it wasn't full of happiness like usual. There was something different.

"Now... Where's his office?" Erica climbed the stairs.

"Big room with the blue door."

Erica nodded and saw the door, kicking it open.

Nathan jumped and looked at her,"Oh great. Why are you here?"

"To kick your ass."

"Get out of here."

"No."

"Did you not hear me?" Nathan stood up.

"Nathan, I don't think you understand." Erica sat Trixie down,"I am fully capable of fucking you up."

"You wouldn't do it in front of the brat, would you?"

Erica clenched her fists,"Want to take bets?"

"Who even let you in? Was it her downstairs?" He scoffed,"I swear when I see her-"

Erica punched Nathan in the face, he talked too much.

"You little bitch." Nathan laughed,"I've been waiting to get my hands on you."

"I'm going to give you what you deserve." Erica shook her head.

"I deserve a break." Nathan pushed her into the wall.

"You deserve being sent straight to hell." Erica swung at him.

"Auntie Erica, be careful." Trixie covered her eyes.

Nathan grabbed her wrist, twisting it,"How dare you come into my home, and attack me? You're a stupid witch."

Erica winced but she kicked Nathan back, "You've been abusing my best friend for years and expect me not to do something?"

"But think of the fact that you didn't know about it for years." Nathan smirked, grabbing her neck as he pushed her to the floor.

"Get off!" Trixie began slapping her father's back.

"Trix- Wand." Erica held her hand out.

Trixie rolled Erica's wand to her.

Erica grabbed it and aimed at Nathan,"Incendio!"

"Ow- Ow!" Nathan shouted out in pain, running out.

Erica let out a shaky breath as she pulled herself to her feet,"Parker.."

"You hurt?" Trixie pouted.

"M-maybe a little.." Erica held her wrist."

"I help- I know where mummy keeps bandages."

"Can you find your mummy?" Erica asked.

"I look." Trixie nodded and ran off.

Erica held her head, that fight... It scared her. Why was she scared of some muggle?

"Mummy?!" Trixie called out.

"Oh baby." Parker walked out to her,"Oh sweetie, are you okay?"

"Auntie Erica- She fought daddy!" Trixie pointed to the office.

"She... What?" Parker quickly looked in the mirror at her cheek, cursing before she walked with Trixie to the office.

Erica looked over to Parker and ran over, immediately hugging her. Parker sniffed as she hugged back until she went limp, letting everything out as she fell to the floor and sobbed.

Erica held Parker close, trying to ignore the pain in her wrist,"Shh... Its okay, I... I got rid of him."

"He's gonna come back- He will. H-He's gonna hurt my babies." Parker shook her head.

"No, I won't let him hurt you or the kids. Look at me." Erica cupped her face,"How about Ced and I stay with you for a bit, would that make you feel better?"

Parker nodded quickly,"I'm sorry- Did he hurt you?"

"No, no, I'm okay." Erica shook her head.

"He... He was cheating on me."

"Even more reason for him to stay away." Erica stroked Parker's hair with her good hand.

"With Hannah." Parker looked at her.

Erica stopped,"Well, its a good thing I've been with Nev."

Parker laughed sadly,"Yeah.."

"But you're safe now, I promise." Erica assured her.

"I'm sorry... I'm so sorry I didn't tell you- It's been going on for years.

"It's okay, you were scared." Erica kissed her forehead.

"H-He said he'd hurt you. And the others. I couldn't have that."

"He couldn't hurt me if he tried." Erica rubbed Parker's back.

"Daddy hurt her wrist." Trixie spoke from the door.

Parker looked at Erica's wrist and gently touched it.

Erica winced,"Okay- He may have fought back but I'm fine. That's the only thing that hurts."

"Promise?"

"Mhm."

Parker shakily hugged her best friend, how did it end up like this?

"How long do you want me to stay here?" Erica asked.

"I don't mind... I just want us to be with each other."

"Alright, I'll go get Ced."

"I want my babies... Can you get Theo?"

"Of course." Erica got up before heading off to find him.

Parker opened her arms and hugged Trixie,"Oh my sweet girl... You're so loved."

"Mummy.." Trixie snuggled into her.

"I'm sorry you saw daddy not being nice." Parker kissed her head,"I think... Daddy is gonna spend some time away for a while."

"Good, daddy bad."

"But mummy is gonna make sure nothing happens to you or Matteo."

"Promise?" Trixie looked up at her.

"Pinky." Parker linked her pinky with her daughter and kissed their hands.
