Long Run - A Sims 3 Oneshot

Summary: Fiona McIrish and her child River ran away together from Mr. McIrish after seeing, that the man had gone too far. (Inspired by "The Backstory of the McIrish family")

“What is so difficult for you to understand?!?” Questioned Shane shoving his wife against the wall beside the entrance to their house, holding his hands around her throat cutting off the oxygen from the woman. Fiona tried to take off the arms of her husband while gasping for air. By the wall, the redhead spotted her daughter looking at the duo in shock from seeing, what was happening at that moment.

“Papa, stop it!” Cried River in fear, watching her mother in danger trying to fight off her husband. The brunette girl observed tensed, how her mother wasn’t able to fight herself out of it, then frowned and ran towards their direction to kick her father on the leg, causing him to yelp. Fiona managed to free herself from her husband, who had grabbed his leg for a moment and looked back at his daughter, which widened her eyes in shock. The father glared at the girl, who got panicky and turned her back to the adult to get away from there. River was immediately packed by her father on her arm and Shane swung his hand to slap his daughter on the face harshly.

“Where did you learn to do that, young lady?!?!” Questioned the father watching the kid begin to cry, afterward he pulled his daughter by the strands of the hair to worsen the case for the young brunette, who had just stood up for her mother.

“Did you hear, what I asked you? Respond!” Exclaimed the father, afterward Fiona had recovered from the short loss of oxygen and she got between the two and tried to remove the man’s hand from her daughter.

“Take your hands off her!” Ordered Fiona watching the man take away his hand to hit Fiona again, afterward River from noticing her mother had come to aid her, again kicked her father near his intimate area, making him scream. River ran into the room and closed the door behind her and Shane jumped at the door to block it with his feet, shrieking River, which walked backward and tripped over one of her toys on the ground.

“Mama!” Cried River, then Fiona grabbed her husband by his hand to push him away from the door and closed her daughter up in the room, and glared at her husband, who sat on the ground looking up at her sternly.

“Whatever you have to talk about, leave our daughter out of the game!” Ordered the woman watching the man got up and approach the woman, who tried to stand up for herself now braver than usual.

“I can’t believe, she’s just as dumb as her mother,” Commented Shane. “But what can I expect from a child,”

“She’s way smarter than you think Shane. And if you think, that she kicked you out of fun, you’re wrong! She did it out of protection, something you perhaps have forgotten on our wedding day,”

“You talk about wedding day and promise we’ll do well in better and in worse. I don’t see anything coming from your side,”

“Neither do I!,” Hissed Fiona back, making Shane growl and move his hand back, therefore before he would hit her again, Fiona instinctively moved her head against the man’s face hitting his nose, making him cry in pain.

“You stupid cow!” Shouted the man grabbing his nose to spot a red fluid coming out from his nose slowly, then he moved back to enter the bathroom and threw the door back. River opened the door to see her mother, which saw the girl filled with tears in her eyes and the woman got down to hug the daughter.

“Everything is okay for now,” Said Fiona embracing the girl tightly.

“River! You’re in for it, if you dare to hit me one more time, young girl!” Warned the father upon listening to the wife talking to the child. River stuck her head beside her mother’s neck in fear, making Fiona widen her eyes knowing that things weren’t going to improve as long as the trio kept living there.

Later into the night, the young girl River lied in her bed asleep and was being watched over by her mother, who sat on the couch in front of the bed, still wearing her day outfit. Fiona sat there with a thoughtful face, wondering what she wanted to do to get out of the trouble they were in. Fiona looked at the coat she had above the lean of the chair and spotted her cell phone turn its light on upon receiving a notification. Fiona took out her phone to see the notification she had and before reading the received SMS she checked out her own delivery at the contact.

“I can’t take it anymore. I need your help. I’m leaving tonight and take River with me,” Fiona rolled her eyes down to see the reply she received from the sender saved under the name Molly.

“Get out of there ASAP. Around 20 minutes I’ll be around the Summer Court hill,” Fiona read quietly, then she looked at her daughter who turned around to face her mother’s direction while sleeping. Fiona frowned, then got up and picked up from the drawer a few clothing items to put them down on the chair. Fiona moved closer to her daughter, then shook her gently on the shoulder waking her up.

“Mom?” Spoke River, then Fiona held her finger in front of her mouth signaling her to be quiet.

“Get dressed. We’re leaving right now,” Warned Fiona quietly, followed by the girl yawning.

“Where are we going?”

“We’re going to an old friend of mine. We will stay with her until we decide, what to do about your father,” Whispered Fiona making River nod. “Trust me, everything will be fine,” Promised the redhead grabbing the hands of her daughter.

The duo got out of the house, noticing that it was raining at the moment and Fiona watched River hold her hand out to catch the falling raindrops with her palm. Fiona looked back into the house to see her husband lying on the couch with a few beer bottles down on the ground, then Fiona placed her hand on River’s back earning her attention.

“There’s no time to get an umbrella. We gotta go out of here before he knows about it,” Affirmed Fiona making her daughter nod, then she took River by her hand and walked across the road to follow the sidewalk past the large wooden Tudor building. Fiona pointed at the house at the 250 Redwood Parkaway earning a nod from her daughter, then together the duo walked over the road heading to that building.

“What will happen to Dad now?” Questioned River looking up at her mother, who sighed about hearing the question of the kid.

“I don’t know it, River. All I know is, that we two don’t belong there. You most of all. After your father threatened you I realized we couldn’t be there anymore. I don’t want anything bad to happen to you. The way your father is behaving, it’s��...not normal,” Mentioned Fiona making River nod and the mother bowed down to take a better look at the face of her daughter, then adjusted the bangs above her forehead aside to have a better look into her eyes. “You will have a better future than what we have there. I promise you that,”

“Wh…..what will happen, if we don’t make it?” Questioned River unsure and the mother caressed her daughter on her cheek.

“We will, pinky promise,” Said Fiona holding up her pinky finger making River smile and move her pinky up.

“Fiona!” Shouted a voice, followed by a thunder shrieking the two women, who looked back at the house to see Shane standing there by the entrance glaring in their direction. “Get over here right now!” Ordered the brunette, then Fiona looked at her daughter, who was worried about the situation. Fiona looked back at her husband, then yelled back at him.

“Up yours!” Barked the mother back, angering the man, who got downstairs and made his way towards the two women in a slightly unstable state. Fiona shook her head upon recognizing the state he was in and looked down at her daughter, who observed her father in fear coming in their way.

“What shall we do?” Asked River, then Fiona indicated at the hill and took her daughter to run together over the grass to try to lose the drunk man.

“Somewhere here we can go down at the beach,” Commented Fiona watching River slip over a puddle on the wet grass and the mother stopped to help the girl get up again.

“My pants got wet,” Complained River unhappy about the situation, after that Fiona patted the daughter on the shoulder.

“I know. We have no other choice, we gotta get out of here,” Warned Fiona watching above the sky a light illuminating the area earning the attention of River, who got amazed by the sight.

The husband got above the road, heading quickly in the direction of the women and Fiona pointed down at the hill, which led down to the beach.

“River, whatever happens, just keep running forward. Don’t stop until you find help,” Warned Fiona making River look terrified at her mother’s plead, then Fiona grabbed the daughter on her cheek. “Promise me,”

“Fiona!” Shouted Shane making both females gasp and Fiona looked back at River, who hugged her mother tight. Fiona held her daughter in the arms while eyeing the husband, who had now reached the field the girls were on as well and Fiona moved her daughter around to depart along with the girl.

“Go down at the beach. I’ll meet you there,” Fiona proclaimed making the sad River nod and change direction, heading down at the beach, while the redhead went into the opposite direction observing her husband jump and fall on the ground. He got up from the ground, pissed with the situation and encountered Fiona standing behind the house near the porches observing what was going to happen next. Shane yelled getting up from the ground to follow his wife, which departed from her spot heading toward the large hill leading to a row of empty lots. “Fiona!” Shouted the brunette. “Fiona!”

Meanwhile, down by the beach, a light-overweight woman was standing by the beach with a fishing rod pulling the thread back to pull out an opened conserve can making the woman shake her head upon her catch. She looked back at two boxes she had brought with her, one was a box filled with water, which had four fishes inside and the second box contained several pieces of trash, she managed to get out of the ocean as well. The woman, who wore a beanie over her head adjusted the bangs from under the beanie aside to have a better view at the caught objects. The woman took a look at her watch to see, what time it was and furrowed her eyebrows surprised at the time. The woman picked the can from her rod and threw it into the box with the trash utensils. The woman retracted the rod and looked across the beach to see, that it was empty, the only thing she could hear was the weather. The ocean seemed quiet compared to the rain. The woman bowed down to close the lid of the blue box with the fishes, thereafter she looked across the beach again to admire the beach, that was empty. The woman bowed down again to close the box of the trash, then began to hear a voice, which caught her attention and the woman looked across the beach to see where the noise was coming from. She squinted her eyes to look across the beach and spotted a kid come in her direction racing in panic away. The woman got confused, then walked towards the direction to see, who was coming in her direction and as the kid got closer the redhead recognized a brunette girl in a green vest and brown jeans. The angler woman made eye contact with the girl, which upon noticing the adult began to cry for help.

“Help! My mother is in danger!” Warned River coming in the direction of the adult, who widened her eyes surprised at the kid’s comment.

“What’s going on?” Questioned the woman and River pointed at the hill from where she came from.

My mother woke me up to run away together from my father. He has been the last time always so mean with us and hurt my mommy many times when he was angry. My mom took me out of there, because he hit me too, because I stopped him from letting him break her neck with his hands, almost letting her not breathe,” Explained River in panic. “Now she ran away in the other direction because he saw we wanted to run away from him and he looks angrier now,”

“Oh my goodness,” The woman gasped placing her hand in front of her mouth in shock of deciphering the issue the girl was stuck in.

“I don’t want to lose my mom,” Sobbed River, then the woman placed her hand on the shoulder of the brunette.

“Where is she?” Questioned Claire and the girl pointed at the area from where she came from. “Alright, look I have here my cellphone. I will call the police and tell them, what’s going on. They will help us out” Assured the redhead watching River rub her eyes to clean the tears. Claire smiled a little about seeing the face of the girl, which seemed to the woman’s eyes adorable. “What’s your name?”

“River……” Responded the kid while passing her hand above her eyes again. “River McIrish,”

“My name is Claire Ursine. I’m going to wait here with you until we get your mother back,” Confided the tall woman holding out her hand at the girl, who slowly took it and looked up at the woman, who smiled a little timidly at the child.

In the meanwhile, Fiona was over the hill near the exit of the town and slipped down over the grass, then got up quickly and shrieked as her husband jumped towards her, while the woman managed to get out of his direction. Fiona ran back to be able to go back at the beach, then she followed the edge of the hill to see, if she could walk down there, but noticed that the area she was located was a large cliff, which led for a few kilometers above the beach and its shorter end was far to reach for now. Fiona observed the area unsure about, which way would be easier for her to take, then she shrieked as her husband packed her from behind.

“Got ya!” Grumbled the man, while Fiona fidgeted in his arms. “Stop moving!”

“I won’t stop fighting for my freedom!” Warned Fiona trying to elbow her husband.

“You will return back home where you belong. You and River. That’s how we……..,” Shane spoke, followed by getting headbumped by the woman, who got off his arms and looked back at the man, who held his nose with his hand.

“You’ve done enough, Shane! I will leave with River together. You haven’t changed. The fact you even changed for the worst. I’m not staying back with a man, who doesn’t value what he has. Other women would have left their husbands a long time ago and I gave you a chance…..even more than one, but after what you did to River, I regret having done that!” Warned Fiona, followed by a thunder sound.

Shane glared angrily at the woman, then he threw a fist into the woman’s direction, who managed to dodge it.

“Your alcohol consume, your tempter, your way of seeing things, that has changed immensely after you lost your job. All that is your own fault. If you really were that sort of men, every other one in town is, you would have a job already or at least be a decent stay-at-home dad. But you’re none of that. You’re one of the most despicable men I’ve ever met,” Summarized Fiona dodging another attack from her husband, while she moved aside from the man walking beside the edge of the cliff almost, while being followed by the man. “Too bad, most of the people’s intentions you only seem to discover them, when you’re all located in the same house for the next few months alone. It’s a real shame,” Commented Fiona with a frown and Shane threw himself at the woman, who tried to fight him off her arms.

“You’re wrong!” Yelled Shane, while Fiona tried to keep themselves away from the cliff to prevent themselves from falling. Fiona looked down at her feet almost getting closer to the edge, making her swallow hard unsure about, if she could make it out there. “You two belong with me! You two won’t find anyone better than me!” Boasted the man, making Fiona yell and push her husband away from her, causing him to fall down on his back, afterward Fiona took a few steps away from the cliff to glare at her husband.

“There will be always someone out there, who’s better of with me. One thing for sure is, that this person isn’t you and it will never be again,” Warned Fiona making the brunette flinch his teeth angrily and get up from the ground to attack the woman, who jumped aside, then gasped as her husband fell down the cliff. “Ó mo Dhia!”

The woman watched her husband fall the cliff down, landing with his back on the sand, remaining there groaning in pain. Fiona held her hands in front of her face shocked about the incident and looked at the side, where the beach was, then remembered, that she wanted to return back to her daughter. Fiona took one last look back at her husband, who started coughing and the redhead made her way towards the beach leaving the husband. While she was on the run, the man began to cough hard, while lying on his back and he began to foam over his mouth with vomit, starting to cough silently followed by a loud gasping noise caused due to the respiratory tract being blocked with the ejection.

Later the fisher woman, Claire Ursine had upon finding Fiona invited her to wait at her house, while the police unit, who had taken their case had left to search Sunset Valley for Shane McIrish, whom Fiona had left alone upon his fall.

“After he warned my daughter, she would pay for her deed, I realized, that both of us wouldn’t be safe in that house anymore…..To be frank, we never were. I don’t even know, why I did let it go this far. He was about to push me down the cliff and he was the one, who ended up falling down instead. I don’t know, if he’s going to make it out healthy there. I just ran off,”

“You did the right thing. The way things were going in your house sounded unbearable even for yourself only. Taking River with you is the best thing you’ve done. Tell everything you know to the police and they will help you. They might question your daughter as well. If she witnessed any of those cases, she needs to know, that she can tell all that without any fear,” Mentioned Claire glimpsing at the brunette, who lied on the couch with her eyes closed resting.

“I hope things will be better. I have to arrange the divorce papers at the city hall. Convincing him to sign them will be a disaster and the right about River’s custody,”

“Oh don’t worry, there’s no chance the court will give her to someone like your husband,” Stated Claire placing her hand on Fiona’s shoulder, then both looked at the door as someone knocked there. “I think it’s the police,”

“I will go,” Offered Fiona approaching the door to open the door to encounter two police agents standing there.

“Good evening, Mrs. McIrish. We’re here to inform you, that we have found your husband by the beach in the area, you have mentioned to have lost him,” Mentioned the brunette man making Fiona nod. “We found him with no life signs at the beach and let him get taken by the ambulance to the hospital. Before taking you two to the station, I want you to go through a check-up first at the hospital to collect any evidence, that we can use to prove, that you and your daughter were victims of domestic violence. Like any present wounds, blue stains, the nurse, who will analyze you will tell you everything they need to see,” Mentioned the agent making Fiona nod, then look at her daughter, who lied on the couch. “You can take your daughter as well. We will drive you to the hospital, we’ll be there with you,” Promised the brunette, then Claire approached the redhead as well to offer herself as well.

“I’m coming too if you feel like you need to have someone around you there,”

“Thank you, Miss Ursine,” Responded Fiona with a little smile, then looked back at her daughter and walked towards her to pick her up, while she slept and gazed at the trio by the entrance.

“It’s hard to believe to see how many adorable children suffered at the hands of some parents during familiar violence. It makes my head boil,” Confessed the second police agent stepping aside to let Fiona get out with her daughter, afterward the rest of the people followed the mother and Claire locked the door up to accompany the new-found friends to the clinic.
