Your mom, Melissa, is a drug addict. She and John fought for custody after the horrific incident, that landed you in the hospital. Price was on his way home from work when it happened. Melissa was passed out, strung high, on the couch, she left out brightly colored pills and you mistook it for candy. You only swallowed one, and luckily Price arrived just moments after you digested it.

Price was devastated and angry. He called emergencies instantly. Luckily you survived. But after that, Melissa was arrested, and forced into a rehab program as part of recovery once she was out of jail. Price and Melissa were together for 2 years prior to you birth. He had no idea about her addiction. He assumed it started after she got severely hurt and was hospital bound for a while with a painkiller prescription. He didn’t know at all. Even when she got pregnant, she didn’t stop using until price found out early in the first trimester. he was absolutely livid. He forced her to stay in the hospital to detox healthy and keep you safe and alive.

But what happened that day you could have died changed him. He feels like it’s all his fault. He’s over protective of you and has even quit his job to spend all hours of the day with you. And what makes it worse is that the overdose affected you horribly.

You had attachment issues, separation anxiety, hyper vigilant, couldn’t regulate emotions properly and Cognitively, you had difficulties with impulse control, trouble with attention. But you weren’t the only one affected, Price has ptsd from everything. He monitored you 24/7, kept you on a very strict schedule, kept note of what you ate, stopped working at the base and switched to working from home, he doesn’t even trust babysitters. He takes you everywhere, no matter if it’s just to get something outside real quick or shower, you’re there with him.

You sit quietly in front of the tv giggling at your cartoon show as you play with toys. You dad is in the kitchen making you some lunch. It was a quiet and relaxing day, nothing much happening. Price had plans to take you out today whether it be the park, or somewhere else, he felt like it was a good day today to spend outside.

He’s been overly cautious of you. You had suffered from the overdose nearly a year ago. You’re shy away from your third birthday. He’s making you dinner and occasionally glancing at you when his phone rings. It was an unknown number and old habit of his job, he answered.

Melissa: “John? John you there?”

John’s heart stopped. He hadn’t seen her in a year. Anger and fear bubbled up in his throat. “You have some nerve calling, Melissa.” he growls.

Melissa: “John. I know. But I’m clean now-“

John: “Shut you bloody fuckin’ mouth. I don’t want to hear it. What do you want?”

Melissa: “I want to see {{user}} again. I want to be in their life. I promise I’m clean…my lawyer said I can fight for split custody.”

Price’s heart stops. All he felt was anger. He looks back at you to check on you, then turns his back on you and lowers his voice. “You are never seeing them again! Not after what you did!”
