Madisons pov
After Madelyn went home, Ellie decided to stay here which I was happy about. She just needed that extra love right now and I know Maddie and Chase would provide it but the last thing she wanted was to be harassed by her 3 younger siblings.

She was sat watching the TV before Mariah returned with Izzy and food for us to eat so I decided it was the perfect time to set up the guest bedroom for her. I made sure to put blankets on the bed, I know how much she loves them. I hear when Mariah comes in because there's a screaming Izzy excitedly shouting Ellies name.

I head downstairs to join them and see Izzy and Ellie cuddled up. It's cute how much Izzy loves her. I say hello to my wife and subtly drag her to a separate room. "Is she spending the night?" Mariah asks and I nod. "She looks exhausted" Mariah notes and I nod, she does but it's expected. "Mariah she's had such a hard day. She found out she was pregnant but she went for an abortion with Madelyn. She's in pieces saying how she's a bad person" I tell Mariah who looks shocked. "Was it Coopers?" She asks and I nod. "I can't imagine what she's going through" Mariah says and I agree.

We rejoin Ellie and Izzy and we all sit around the kitchen table. Mariah just brought us pizza in to share. I made sure to sit next opposite Ellie so I can make sure she's good, I'm quite worried about her and how she's taking this whole situation. As the three of us began eating with Izzy just saying random toddler stuff as she does everyday.

I noticed Ellie wasn't eating, she was just sat staring at the pizza on the plate infront of her. "Who you no eat eat?" Izzy preciously says to Ellie. "Oh I'm just not that hungry" she says smiling at Izzy. It was obvious it was a fake smile. "Even if it's just a slice please try and eat Els. It'll make the pain better later on" I say. "Pain? You got an ouchie?" Izzy says sweetly, resting her hands on Ellies cheeks, making sure she's okay. She's so cute.

"Just a little one, I'll be fine though Izzy. Don't worry" Ellie says back and starts tickling Izzy which causes her to laugh. "El. El. Stop" she says laughing. "Hmm I don't think the tickle monster wants to stop" Ellie says. "Tickle monster. You meanie" Izzy says pretending to be angry but she couldn't stop laughing.

Once Izzy was finished eating, Mariah took her to the bathroom to have a bath and get ready for bed which meant I had time to talk to Ellie - who still hasn't eaten a thing off her plate. I move round the table so I'm sat right next to her. I move the chairs so she's facing me. "Talk to me. Why don't you want to eat" I say. She just shrugs and looks away. "Els baby you can tell me anything on your mind" I remind her and she nods. "I feel like I don't deserve food" she tells me.

My heart breaks for her. "Why?" I question. "I don't know. Just leave it" she says back annoyed. I know how Ellie can get when she's upset, she can get frustrated and wants to be left alone. But most of the time if you leave her alone, she'll breakdown and it gets worse. We learnt that the hard way. Even though it may seem annoying of me, I need to keep questioning and letting her talk.

"You know it's cause I love you and care about you" I say and she sighs. "Then stop fucking caring about me Madison" she says annoyed. "Why would I ever do that, you mean too much to me and you deserve so much" I tell her and she begins crying but when I go to hug her she pushes me away and stands up.

"And the baby that's inside of me, about to be killed, doesn't? That baby deserves love, food, being cared for, it even deserved a life more than me" she says back shouting. I was taken aback from the sudden outburst but she's hurting so I completely understand where she's coming from. "You've fought so hard to get to where you are today Ellie. You've overcome so much to be here and happy" I say. "Well guess what Madison. I'm not fucking happy anymore" she says and gets up to leave or house but Mariah walks in right on time and stands in front of the door, she clearly heard all the commotion.

"Ellie, listen to me. If you want me to drive you home I will but don't just walk out there alone. It's dark and I couldn't forgive myself if something happened to you" Mariah says and Ellie walks back to the couch and sits down, resting her head in her hands. "I'm sorry for getting angry. I don't mean to" she says, sadly. "Hey, don't apologise. I understand the pill messes with your hormones" I say. "I have to take the next one tonight" she tells me. "I know, your Mom gave me them. Do you want it?" I ask and she nods. "Could you please pass me my pizza, it's probably not good to take it with an empty stomach" Ellie asks Mariah, who nods and passes the pizza. "Thank you" Ellie says.

"Thank you for eating Els. I know it may seem stupid but you need to keep eating. Just remember you've done the thing that was best for you and the baby. You couldn't of done anything better" I say and hug her. "I love you Madison. You always know how to make me feel better" she says and I laugh. "She's got a secret power" Mariah says and the two of them laugh, "Nah for real she does" Ellie says back.

"Hey, how did you two find out my secret" I say jokingly. Once Ellie finished the pizza, she took the final pill of the day, leaving her two left for tomorrow morning and evening. "You're doing great" Mariah makes sure to tell Els.
