Our Future-Chapter 6.
Marius P.o.v.
Today I have A meeting with the Duchess and her future son-in-law, Yes, the same man I sacked for Promiscuity in the workplace, but I was anxious to, Eponine had told mme that her and Charlie were coming up to see me today, God Charlie was growing up so quickly, he was almost 9 months, It was only a week ago he said his first word.
-Flashback-
"Come on Baby, just say it once, one time for Papa, once?" I asked him sitting on the floor next to him, handing him back the toys he threw at me, He kept quite,
"What about for Ma? Hey Charlie can you say Mama?"Ponine asked him Kissing him on his cheek,
"MA!" Charlie shouted, oh my dear lord, my baby boy said his first word!
"Will you say it again?!" I asked patting his head,
"Ma,ma,ma,ma,ma" He babbled clapping his hand,I looked up at Eponine who had tears streaming down her face,
"My baby said his first word"She whispered kissing him on the head, he really was growing up fast,
-End Flashback-
"Mr. Pontmercy?" I heard one of my factory foremen say bringing me back from my thoughts,"The Duchess, and are here, She's demanding to see you."He said in an annoyed tone,
"Show them in," I said my tone matching his,
"Ohh, ,"The duchess said in her high pitched voice,"I heard your wife had a baby, How is she?" She asked but I could tell by the way she said it she was not interessted nor did she care,
"They are both fine, should be here soon," I said smiling wide at the thought of seeing my wife and child,
"Well anyway back to pressing matters, As you know Archie and Victoria's wedding is in a few weeks and as he no longer has a job, he cannot pay his share so I was hoping you would be a dear and give Alfie his job back,"She said in a final tone, Ha as if i'd give that a job,
"No." I said looking down at some papers on my desk,
"Excuse me?" She asked obviously shocked,
"I won't give him a job." I said looking up to meet her gaze.
Thankfully I was saved by a knock at the door, a knock from my beautiful wife,
"Hey am I inturrupting anything?" She asked, She had her hair pulled back by a ribbon and Charlie in her arms she looked flustered,
"No""Yes" Me and the Duchess said in unison, Ignoring the Duchess I pulled 'ponine and Charlie into my office, and introduced everyone. Me and Eponine turned our back for a second when it happened. We both turned when we heard Charlie's cry, but by the time we turned, him, the Duchess and Archie had gone,
"CHARLIE?!" Ponine screamed at the top of her lungs,
"Stay here" I said to her, running out of my office,
I ran round every floor when I was stopped on the stairs by one of my workers,
"Peter's looking for you," He said to me, Peter was out gate gaurd, there was only one gate into the building and he gaurded it all day everyday,
"Not now!" I said my mind reeling, Where could they have taken Charlie? And why him? Why my son?
"He said its urgent," The worker said continuing to his floor, just great! I ran to the entrance of the building and A huge smile appeared on my face, There he was, My baby in Peters arms, and a police man restraining Archie,
"Oh thank god," I said taking Charlie into my arms,
"I predict you will be pressing charges?" The Police officer asked Placing cuffs on Archie,
"Yes," I said, he nodded leading Archie of the premisis,
"Thank you" I said to peter, he would deffinatley be getting a raise,
"All in a day's work"He said waving goodbye to Charlie as we started to walk in,
"Shall we go see Mummy?" I asked Charlie as we walked up the stairs to my office,
"Mama,mama" He said clapping his hands,
"Yep Mama" I said walking to my office door, I kncoked
"Yes?" I heard Eponine whimper from the other side of the door,
"Err, A Charles Pontmercy to see you Madame," I said in the worst posh accent, my office door ripped open and 'Ponine dragged Charlie out of my arms and placing kisses all over his face,
"Oh Charlie NEVER do that again!" she said holidng him tight.
