Joe and Denise sat there in silence for a good twenty minutes or so Denise just comforting her son, he had stopped crying by now but the scenes of the day were taking over him emotionally and physically. He felt drained and just wanted to go to sleep but he needed to speak to Demi and apologise but he knew that it wouldn't take away what he had done to her today, he could have killed her and he would only have himself to blame. They were disturbed when a figure walked over, they both looked up to see Demi. It looked like she had a good cry herself but they both knew it was out of fear of leaving her boys.

"Can I talk to Joe alone?" Demi questioned Denise, she was reluctant but she nodded her head standing up forcing Joe to sit up straight. She couldn't help but kiss his head before walking up to the house so she could keep an eye on Jayden and Isaac. Demi took her seat on the bench not saying another word, neither of them did for a good couple of minutes. But Joe was the one who broke the silence wondering whether he should have done.

"I'm sorry D-Demi." He stammered, he'd have to get used to calling her Demi. That's if she wanted him around her anymore, he knew he wouldn't in this situation.

"I'm not pressing charges Joe." Demi states.

"Really? But I could have killed you." Joe replies.

"But you didn't and I think you realise how much help you really need, I want you to get that help and if I send you to prison you won't get it there. I know how big of an impact Grace made on you and you need help on grieving over her, properly and not by becoming a different person and nearly killing an innocent woman." Demi explains.

"Thanks a lot, I don't think I'd survive in prison. I already promise my mom I'd get some help, I want to get my life back on track." Joe states Demi smiling laying her hand on his arm, she will admit how scared she was of him but at the moment he was nothing like that person who was pointing the gun at her. She already knew he was a changed man.

"That sounds good." Demi admits.

"How are Jayden and Isaac? They didn't see anything did they?" Joe questioned, he'd hate if they saw him putting their mother under danger.

"They are fine, they don't know what happened and I'll keep it that way." She reassured.

Demi wondered back into the house after she waved Denise and Joe off, she felt good and warm inside as if she had helped Joe and what he faced today. She would push it behind her and hope one day in the future to walk down the street and see him as a changed man. She made her way into the kitchen smiling when she saw her boys with their hands in the mince mixture which will make their burgers for dinner.

"Don't touch it too much boys, you'll give it germs." She stated the two of them taking their hands out of the bowl following Demi over to the sink so they could wash their hands.

"I didn't know burgers looked like this!" Jayden exclaimed.

"They will look different when they are cooked, they will look just like the normal burgers we buy but will taste even better!" Demi exclaimed back.

"They will?" Isaac asked Demi nodding her head.

"Because my two special boys made them." She gave them both a hug smiling as they hugged her back, she pulled away kissing their heads.

"Can we watch telly please?" Jayden asked politely.

"Go on then, I'll finish these off and put them in the oven." Demi kissed their heads once more before they ran off into the living room, Demi smiled making her way over to the bowl where she stuck her hands in. She begun making them into patties only smiling wider when she heard Jayden and Isaac singing along to their show.
