Part 1! Husband/fiancé/boyfriend!Billy Hargrove x reader. This is mature content! I’m not responsible for your own media consumption read with maturity!! Reader and billy have a child together. And I’d like to thank my best friend for giving me the energy, confidence, support it needed to write this. Without her I wouldn’t be a writer :)). She’s often the person I go to when I need help tinkering with little details and oh my god, her brain is so amazing when it comes to coming up with plots. I can throw 4 words at her and she’ll have a story, that’s where I come in.
You had put masie to bed around 9, only because you had a little bit of hope that “daddy should be home any minute!” You knew she was supposed to be asleep by 8. It what was agreed upon between you and billy, but how could you say no to her when all she wanted to do was say goodnight to her father?…exactly.
You were wrong. Billy didn’t come home until around twelve in the morning. You should’ve known better, you thought as you laid in bed. He had been coming home later and later as the days progressed, you didn’t let it bother you at first mostly because you had better things to worry about than if billy came home a little late. But as that time seem to have been becoming farther and farther, you let your concerns get the best of you.
As you laid in bed awake, thinking of all the possible things billy could’ve been caught up In as if on cue you heard the front door open and close. It wasn’t a hard shut like usual, it was soft and quiet. As you pretended to be asleep you listened as he walked up the stairs, into your bedroom, lugged his boots off with a grunt and changed his clothes. You continued to pretend to sleep until your body finally decided to let you drift off.
You woke up quite a while before billy that next morning. Hell even masie was up before him. But when he finally did decide to “grace” the both of you with his presence at 9 in the morning, masie was the one who noticed him walking into the living room. And she was ecstatic to say the least, the same couldn’t be said about you though. After all she was an undeniable daddy’s girl, she loved her father to the moon and back, she adored him.
All you heard before masie jumped out of your arms was, “daddy’s finally awake, mommy!” As you watched masie jump into her fathers arms so that he could hold her, you genuinely couldn’t help but crack a small open mouthed smile at the sight, your mind forgetting about what kept you awake last night for just a few seconds.
As Reality set back in billy put masie down, saying goodmorning to the both of you.
Your daughter practically dragged billy to where you and her had been sitting on the couch. As he sat down and tried kissing you, you not so sneakily dodged it, even trying to laugh it off as you had noticed masie not paying attention to the television and more so on the two of you. You didn’t want her to know you were upset with him. As Long as he got the message, that’s all you needed. masie may have been young but she was a smart girl, therefore the warning look you gave billy didn’t go unnoticed by her.
As she turned to her father after witnessing the silent interaction she asked, ‘is mommy mad?’
Whipping your head around to your right to look at the pair ‘no baby, mommy’s not mad at all!’
The emphasis you put on the last two words was only noticed by billy. Just as you had intended.
As the time passed by you and masie had began playing in her bedroom just the two of you. She loved billy of course, but agreed that you were better at playing dolls than he was. But as she grew tired she fell asleep in your arms as you read one of her favorite stories to her, when you noticed you gently laid her down into her canopy bed, before making your way back into the living room where you remembered all to late billy had still been.
You walked directly past him, paying him no mind as you made your way to the kitchen for a snack. What you actually hadn’t noticed was how he followed you quietly, not making his presence known until you were both confined in the walls, where your daughter most definitely couldn’t see you.
‘You gonna’ fill me in here? Or would ya like me to keep guessing?’ The sudden whisper startled you, making you quickly turn your head to him and back rolling your eyes as you responded, while going back to whatever you had came in to do.
‘She stayed up passed her bedtime last night because she was adamant on “saying goodnight to daddy.”’
You had turned around at this point.
‘And Guess who stayed up another three because she was worried fucking sick about your, sorry, no good, perfume smelling ass to come home?! Huh?! Take a wild guess, billy.’ You whisper shouted on the verge of angry tears.
billy didn’t respond. Internally he was fuming, and upset. Feeling so many different things at once. You could see the visible hurt in his face.
‘…you…you think I was out with a bitch last night? That’s seriously what you think I was doing?!’
He didn’t wait for an answer as he stormed off into your bedroom, coming back a moment later with a small box in hand. He tossed at at you, not throwing it as a projectile, more like a game of catch.
As you reluctantly unwrapped the neatly put together package, your eyes widened. it was a perfume. It was THE perfume that you have been raving about to billy for the past two whole months. THE perfume that’s been sold out every time you’ve tried to purchase it. Your mouth was agape, your eyes were wide, and overall you felt so stupid. Stupid for thinking he would ever be unfaithful to the mother of his most prized possession.
‘Happy fucking Mother’s Day.’ Was the last thing billy said mumbled before grabbing his keys as he intended to leave the house, and he would’ve too. If masie hadn’t came out of her room to find out why her father was yelling.
Both your heads snapped to look in the direction of little footsteps emerging from the hallway. Billy had already reached the door, his hand on the handle. ‘ooo! are we going somewhere!’
All you could do was raise your head from the ground, look at billy and then at your daughter. ‘no masie just daddy, right now. Sorry love bug’
you gave her a sad smile as she ran to grab Billy’s leg, already screaming about how she wanted to go, throwing a level 3 tantrum while now standing by Billy’s legs, you tried to get her to stop with everything you could but for the life of you, she wouldn’t let up.
Billy kneeled down to her level, so that they could see eye to eye. His hands gently placed on her small shoulders. Immediately she knew he was being serious. ‘You quit that screaming n’crying.’
She loved you to death but took what her father would say more serious than if you had said it, always. No matter how inferior it made you feel. ‘You Be good for mommy while I’m out masie. I mean it.’ 
with that he walked out the door without another word to either of you.
Masie and yourself actually had a good couple of hours together, you made chocolate chip cookies, watched her favorite movie, Bambi, and cleaned the house up a little bit. When billy came home around twelve in the afternoon, he had an ice-cream sundae in hand, masies absolute favorite. As soon as that little girl saw it she was over at Billy’s feet as he handed it to her smiling. He loved bringing her ice cream after not seeing her for a little while.
Billy’s eyes wandered up to find yours from across the room, and you knew exactly what I meant. As masie munched on her sundae you went over to the opposite side of the counter, and much to your surprise so did billy. He came right up beside you leaning his arms on the counter and intertwining his own hands together looking at the counter below him, occasionally at masie. The tension was still there.
after masie got a bath, and her p’js on you placed a kiss to her Temple and her cheek, said your final goodnight and turned off her lamp. She laid there after you left knowing it was time for bed, but you knew she would want billy to say goodnight to her. It’s become a routine. As you walked into your bedroom to find billy sat at the end of the bed like he was waiting for something. Like he wanted to say something.
You turned to look at him while putting on your pajamas.
‘without you saying goodnight? Mm’m.’
And with that billy was out of your bedroom, presumably down the hall at masies room doing exactly what you had done a few moments prior. He can back quietly when you were in the bathroom brushing your hair, once you spotted him through the mirror you made quick eye contact, before he turned off the bedroom light and laid down, with a sigh As if he had been beat.
Once you were laid down, your back facing his front.
‘D’you like it.’ You look over your shoulder, while rolling over to face him.
‘Of course I do, thank you’ You had inched closer to him while talking, your head now on his arm.
‘Should’ve just asked you where you were last night m’sorry.’
At your apology he felt himself smile.
‘M’yeah?’ Jesus…that tone of voice? the teasing? always got to you.
