Title: Be There, Stay Strong
Fandom:  Sucker Punch
Pairing: Sweet Pea/Baby Doll
Prompt: #37 Heartache

  
Sweet Pea hears the scream from the other room, and recognizes it in an instant. She’s p and out of her chair before another one rips through the air. There is no excuse for Baby Doll to be screaming like that. No excuse in the world.

She throws open the door to the client room, taking in the situation in a second. The man above Baby Doll has a hand raised, the other holding her down. Baby Doll’s cheeks are stained, mascara sliding down her face. But Sweet Pea sees something under the mark of the make-up - the hint of a bruise starting to form.

“Let her go.” Sweet Pea hisses, giving the man pause. He doesn’t release the blonde, but her grip loosens enough for the girl to squirm away, darting behind Sweet Pea. Sweet Pea extends a hand behind her protectively.

He takes a step towards them, and Baby Doll whimpers. But Sweet Pea doesn’t back down. Dealing with overpoweringly clients isn’t something she has to do often - they only deal with respectable people. Apparently one slipped through.

“You will never be back here again.” Sweet Pea growls and Baby Doll takes comfort in her strength, the severity of her tone. “You don’t ever hit my girls.”

The man narrows his eyes, but before he can argue, Sweet Pea turns, ushering Baby Doll from the room. She motions to the guards as they pass, and they give her a nod of understanding.

Sweet Pea sits Baby Doll down gently, stroking the hair out of her face. Baby Doll flinches as her fingers run over her injured cheek and Sweet Pea sighs.

“I’m sorry. That never should have happened.” Sweet Pea shakes her head, lowering her eyes to the marks on Baby Doll’s upper arms.
“It’s okay.” Baby Doll murmurs.

“No it’s not. I should have protected you better…” Sweet Pea trailed her fingers down Baby Doll’s soft neck. “Oh, baby.” It’s more than a name, it’s a sign of affection, and Sweet Pea whispers it quietly, taking in Baby Doll’s light green eyes.

Baby Doll shivers, and Sweet Pea’s heart tightens. She pulls the blonde into her arms, letting Baby Doll sob quietly into her shoulder.
