Grow old together

Leaving Bolton

Kathy's POV

I didn't want to see Dan and Abz leave so soon. Like I always miss them both after all danny is my son and abbie... she's my third child.

This weekend was really good though. We sat going through all the pictures of the kids growing up and I found a really cute one off abbie and danny asleep under the stars. He had hold of her and you could see how close they always have been. Abbie put it on Instagram.

"Listen, you can stay tonight as well if you want." I said

"We've both got work." danny said "so have you."

"It doesn't matter. I can leave the shop closed for another day. It's hard Dan."

"I know." he said hugging me "it will get Better."

"I carnt get over how much you have grown up. Ive only just realised this weekend."

The door then went.

"I'll go." danny said

Me and abbie sat there trying to listen in.

"Erm, Abigail. Its for you." he shouted. I looked at Abbie puzzled. He never called her Abigail.

We both went to the door and a short dark haired women stood there. She wore tight leather pants and a tight fitted top. Now the woman was about 50. she didn't look good.

"We need to talk." she said to abbie an I knew who she was.

"Why? I don't want too." she said clinging onto danny. She was terrified.

"I'm your mother! You must obay me!"

"You were never a mother to me!" Abbie said "you abused me an threw me out."

"I never threw you out! SHE put you into care and got Paul locked up."

"SHE! Helped me. She supported me. She looked after me! She treated me like an auntie and when I cried for help she relieved me. Katherine gave me the best home I could ask for. Your no mother to me. And thanks to you and Paul I have so many scars. Not just mentally but physically." she said and she showed her arms and you could see the scars.

"You did that yourself not me."

"You watched me do it. You told me to do it. 10 years old! Your sick."

She then lent forward towards abbie but danny stepped in. Abbie then ran upstairs into what was Dannys old room and dived under the covers. She was acting like she was 14 again. This wasn't good.

"You get lost now! Don't come back here again." danny screamed shutting the door.

I couldn't believe she had turned up.

Me and danny ran upstairs after her.

Danny managed to calm her down and he ended up holding her for a while and I sat on the bed with them.

"Why she turned up!" Abbie said

"Because she's probably seen us being here."

"I thought she would of gone somewhere else. Moved away from Bolton."

"Abz, she don't bother you now. You're pretty much settled in London now. Your getting married soon. Kids? Maybe. You would both be great parents." I said and abbie sat up and smiled

"Can we delay the wedding? Please." she said

"What?" Danny asked "please say your not having second thoughts."

I was worried too.

"No. Just. Im kinda pregnant." she said and Dannys face just spread into a smile.
