Mama Bear ✔️

Everly's Pov

"I would say it's nice to see you too but we all know that would be a lie." I say sending death glares at Justin's head.

He laughs. He actually has the audacity to come knocking on my door after how many months and laugh in my face.

" You always know how to crack me up. " Justin chuckles.

" You should also know that I'm on the verge of mixing your flesh with the pavement." I say taking a threatening step forward.

Justin takes a step back as Liam pulls me back again. If it wasn't for Liam, Justin would be six foot under. I take a deep breath and let my fingers relax from their fist position. No need to kill another person. I don't think I'll survive the consequences.

Liam takes a step forward. " If I were you, I would make this quick." he warns. The sound of his voice and the comfort of his hands on my waist makes me calm down a little. Just a little.

"Calm down love." he whispers into my ear as I try and break loose from his strong grip again.

Can we just have a moment of silence and appreciate Liam's British accent coming through in his words. For a moment I thought his accent was fading but I'm lucky to still hear it now and then.

" I'm not here to fight. " Justin defends taking yet another step backwards.

Coward.

" You definitely not here for tea time." I spit.

Justin rolls his eyes. I can't help but feel the pang in my chest. I used to love this man. He once was sweet and caring but then his hormones got in the way and completely changed the man I had known to love. Leaving a heartless human being behind. I still wonder if he ever thought about how he had hurt me.

" I heard that you were back in town and that the child is also with you." Justin shrugs.

My blood begins to boil.

" It has nothing to do with you." I say softly.

" Well technically it does have everything to do with me. Seeing as the child is half my DNA. " Justin smiles.

Not even a second passes after his words as I launch at him. I start hitting his chest with my fist but I'm immediately dragged back by Liam's strong grip on my waist.

" Let go of me! " I yell still trying to hit Justin.

Justin's eyes have grown double the size as he witnesses the wild creature in front of him. I would also be surprised if I saw myself like this. Guess the Mama Bear got out of her cage.

" God will you calm down. I just want to meet the child." Justin defends pulling his shirt back to its original position after I almost ripped it apart.

I take deep breaths. I can't handle seeing him. It brings back too much pain. Too much memories. Too much of who I used to be before everything changed. Weak and pathetic. That was the old me. Now I'm not scared and I'm not afraid to say what's on my mind. I survived a fucking war between two gangs for crying out loud. Justin standing in front of me is nothing compared to any of that. It just bends my emotions a little.

I'm about to warn him once again but the door behind me opens again. Mom comes out with Chicka in her arms. Now is not the time.

" What the hell is going on here?" mom asks as she sees my flushed face.

" Hello Miss Adams. So nice to see you again." Justin decides to speak up.

Mom only glares at him. Like mother like daughter. Chicka also decides to make her presence known by starting to cry. I guess she can also feel the tension. I watch closely as Justin takes a step forward to see her. He doesn't say a word but his eyes are glued to Chicka. I watch as he bites his lip, probably restraining himself from saying anything. He looks back at me and smiles. Not a wicked or sickening smile but a genuine smile.

" She's beautiful." he says and takes a step back. "I'll see you around." he continues as he starts walking away from us.

I'm stunned by what just happened. Here I thought I was going to kick his ass and now he's walking away all by himself. Dang it, I was ready to show him a piece of my mind. I guess it's better that he decided to leave.

I walk over to mom and take Chicka out of her arms. She starts to calm down as I sway her back and forth. After a while she's completely silent and looks as if she's ready to fall asleep. I hand her back to mom and quickly kiss her cheek as Liam and I climb into my car.

" What just happened?" Liam asks closing the passenger door.

I shrug and connect my phone with the bluetooth in the car. I can't go without my daily karaoke session in the car. Liam says that he hates this part of the day but deep down I know that he is secretly a fan of karaoke.

The music starts and I speed of into the streets. Singing along at the top of my lungs to Taylor Swift I see Liam cringing. I know he hates Taylor's music but I can't help loving it.

" Do you think Justin is going to try and take custody over Chicka?" Liam asks as I pull up into the parking lot of the gym.

His question instantly kills my mood. Damn you Liam and your questions.

" No. He's still a child himself. What would he want to do with a new born baby? " I answer with honesty.

Justin is still in the phase of going out clubbing every night and waking up at 2 in the afternoon with a new girl in his bed. He's definitely not in the right mindset to be a responsible father. Even if it comes to a custody battle I will win it for sure. He said it himself that he doesn't want to be apart of the baby's life. Let's just hope it doesn't come to a custody fight. That won't end pretty.

" You ready to lose?" Liam asks while putting on his boxing gloves and smirking at me.

I roll my eyes.

" I have a lot of frustration to get out." I smile as I throw the first punch. Liam easily blocks the incoming punch and makes a right hook swing in my direction. I back away from his fist just as it was about to reach me. Liam chuckles as he sees I'm caught of guard by his punch. I take it as my advantage and punch him straight into his stomach. He bends over and coughs. I can't help but laugh at the sight I'm seeing. It's not everyday you see Liam Wells out of breath by one punch.

" Someone losing their touch?" I whisper in his ear and chuckle.

I don't have time to register what's happening as he tackles me into the floor. Luckily it isn't a hard landing seeing as we are on one of those gym exercise mats. Liam lands with a heavy weight on top of me and bursts out laughing.

I struggle to breath as I try and push him off from me. He doesn't move. Damn he's heavy.

" Don't underestimate me love." he winks.

I try and gain the strength to push him off but he only grabs my wrists and pins it down above me head. Now I'm completely trapped.

He looks me dead in the eye. Searching for something. He blinks and smiles.

" I love you. " he whispers.

I immediately blush at his words. His words are genuine and just not another phrase to get into my pants. No man has ever looked at me the way Liam does. No man has ever made me feel like he does. I can't help but smile.

" I love you too. Now get of me you fat ass." I say as Liam starts laughing. He climbs off from me and helps me up by pulling me up with his one hand.

" I win." he smiles and walks away.

Touché.

" I don't think so." I laugh and take off my boxing gloves.

Liam comes to a halt in front of me. He looks serious. I love seeing this side of him. He's trying to be serious but I know he will crack up within a few seconds.

We have a mini staring contest until I break the silence by laughing. I can't be serious with him in front of me. It's hard to keep a poker face.

" Now for my price." Liam smirks as he takes my left hand into his.

" And what would that be?" I say feeling my cheeks warm up. It's the little things that get to me the most. I know it sounds cringy but we all have our days.

Liam exhales slowly as his eyes once again makes contact with mine.

" Will you be my girlfriend?"
