"Rae do you really want to leave the kids at home for this long by themselves?" Chels ask Raven while they were lying in the bed with their limbs intertwined.

"Chels we'll only be 2 hours away and you know they'll call us every 3 hours anyways. We need this getaway." Raven said sliding her fingers through the red locks on Chelsea's head.

"Okay, my love." Chelsea sighed kissing the tip of Raven's nose. Raven smiled, moving closer to connect their lips. Before they could, there was a tiny knock on the door.

"Come in, Levi." Raven said looking towards the door. In walked tiny little Levi a puzzled look on his face.

"How'd you know it was me?" Levi ask.

"Lucky guess." Raven answered with a shrug.

"What ya need Levi?" Chelsea asked her son, turning over in Raven's arms just slightly.

"Is it okay if I steal mommy away from you for a minute?" Levi ask pointing to Raven.

"Sure. Babe, I'll be right back." The shorter woman said climbing out of the bed and picking up an extra blanket , taking Levi's hand and walking to the living room with him.

••••••••••••••••

"What's the matter?" Raven asked the trembling boy who was cuddled in her arms.

"I'm scared." Levi said holding onto Raven tighter.

"Why?"

"Dad texted me and said that he wanted to see mom and I and I don't want to see him because I'm scared he's mad at us for leaving."

"Okay Levi I think it's time for us to face your fear and tell your mother about this before it goes too far."

••••••••••••••••••••••••

"Oh my god Levi I'm so sorry. I thought all that time that he would only beat me. I would purposely take beatings to keep you safe but, I failed. I'm a terrible mom-" Chelsea sobbed.

"No. Chelsea, no. I will not sit here and watch you do this to yourself. You are a wonderful mother. You had no idea what would happen to Levi and you tried your best to protect him from everything Garret threw you all's way." Raven said taking her girlfriend's hands into hers.

"Mom please don't blame yourself. I'm sorry I even told you." Levi said clutching even harder onto Raven. Levi found that he trusted Raven with his heart and his well being. She was his safe place. He could talk to her about anything in the world and she would be right there to listen.

"Levi, I'm glad you told me. I needed to know. I will talk to Garret and find a way for him to leave us alone. Until then I want you to stay in the house or with Booker, Nia, and Tess while we're gone." Chelsea instructed putting on her big girl britches and being strong for her son. Levi nodded his head in understanding and parted from Raven to fall into Chelsea's arms. The second Chelsea released him he clung back to Raven.

"Chels I'll come back to bed later. I think Levi still needs me for a little bit." Raven said to the redhead. Chelsea placed a soft kiss on Levi's head and one on Raven's lips before leaving the living room.

"Mommy I love you." Levi mumbled into Raven.

"I love you too Levi." Raven mumbled back into his hair.
