Teddy PoV

Ro was getting quieter as time progressed, and that really worried me because she wasn't naturally this quiet, well none of the Addams are in reality.

Ro was getting ready to go to bed, I was watching the 10 O'clock news on the telly, I wasn't really paying attention to what was actually going on because I couldn't be fucking arsed, so it was more like background noise, when Ro came to the say goodnight to me, I noticed that she looked kinda sad, my parental instinct was being kick into high gear.

"Hey Rowan Baby, what's the matter?"

"Nothing"

"It doesn't look like nothing Darling, you've got your sad face on Baby girl"

"Daddy"

"Yes Sweetheart"

"Why did Megan leave?, she said she wouldn't leave this time"

And my mother wondered why I didn't want Megan involved in Ro's life, I was so fucking terrified of those words, since I didn't really know what to do, I kind of cradled Ro as she was crying, in this situation it was handy that Ro was smaller than most of her age group.

"I don't know Baby Girl, I really don't know why"

"Am I not good enough for her?"

Hearing her say those words broke my heart, it broke my heart so much that I started to cry.

"No Baby, no, that's not true, that's not true at all"

"Daddy, I'm sorry"

"Hey hey hey, what are you sorry for Buba?, hmm?"

"Because I made you cry Daddy"

"No you didn't Baby, just don't ever think that you're not good enough for somebody"

"Why?"

"Because I am the luckiest person alive for knowing you Bambina-"

"Why's that?"

"It's because you make me laugh and you give the best hugs ever Sweetheart"

"I do?, really?"

"Yeah Baby, really, I need you to remember that for me, ok?"

"Ok, I love you Daddy"

"I love you too Baby girl, try to sleep now, ok"

"Ok Daddy"

Eventually Ro did fall asleep, and I sat there silently cursing Megan's name, Georgie was slowly walking in from a night out, which he was like way too young for, but I felt hypercritical telling him not to go out with his mates, because I did it at his age and younger.

"Hey Teddy"

"Hey Georgie boy, how was your night out?"

"It was alright, but nothing to write home about"

"So you're not too drunk then?"

"I didn't even drink tonight"

"That's unusual for you Georgie boy"

"Oh fuck off you dick"

"I'm ok thanks"

"Teddy, while I appreciate that you don't sleep and all because parenting or some bullshit like that, but why is Ro sleeping in your arms?"

"Because she's actually asleep after being heartbroken, so shut up Georgie boy"

"Ok, so put her to bed like most adult parents do then Teddy"

"Georgie, I'm not being funny or anything, but that would involve me waking her up you dipshit, because I would have to sit up, anyway I used to do this all the time when she was a baby-"

"I thought that you were just paranoid about her crying in the night"

"(Snorts), that's not why Georgie, that was because she wouldn't sleep anywhere but on the left side of my chest until she was a 6 months old, anyway to be honest with you I would stay like this forever if it meant that my little girl would be ok"

"Teddy, you're a sappy fuck, you know that, right?"

"(Snorts), maybe you're right or maybe you're just a fucking unfeeling dick Georgie boy"

"Hey I actually wouldn't be surprised if I was an unfeeling dick with the parents we got"

I snorted, because while it was a ridiculous sounding statement to most people, it could've actually been true about our parents.

"Wait Teddy, have you been crying?"

"So what if I have Georgie?"

"Well, if you had been crying, I would just want to know who to punch is all"

"(Snorts), well Georgie boy, as much as I appreciate the sentiment, you can't punch Megan, since she's been a no show recently anyway, so good luck to ya is all I'm gonna say"

"That fucking snobby bitch, what did she do that made you cry this time?"

"The only other time she made me cry was the day that Ro was born"

"That still doesn't answer my question though Teddy"

"Very funny Georgie boy, I'm crying now because Megan is the reason why Ro thought that she wasn't good enough for Megan to stay"

"I'll say what I said 30 seconds ago, that fucking snobby bitch"

I was kinda shocked that Georgie seemed to be so enraged, but I didn't dwell on it for too long 'cause I would've cried again.

"Georgie can you pass us a blanket?"

"Yeah I can do that"
