As Robert got back from work he notice the door was open a little bit
Robert; "Andy" he shouts. Andy hadn't told him about Denise coming to the door yet as she didn't want him to panic plus she thought that the situation was dealt with. He also thought the children were still with Ben and bailey
"Come on, Andy stop playing with me and come out," he said going into the room but there was no sign of her so he went to check Alex's room and found her on the floor
"Andy wakes up come on baby wake up" he kept saying as he nudged her. Finally, once Andy came around the first thing she says is Alex
Robert; "he's fine, he's with Ben," although he thought it strange for her to ask for him
Andy; "no Robert, Denise took Alex." As soon as she had told him he was on the phone with the police. Andy had told Robert what had happened early in the day.
The police understood what had happened and got in contact with Denise's family and they told her that Vincent had passed away after a car accident it sent her mentally unwell
Andy; "please find my baby boy he loves his blanket and bear and takes them everywhere with him and they are here."
The word was out around the station the whole team decided to go looking for the baby.
Maya; "all this woman has ever done has caused trouble for my nephew, who would decide to put her in charge and be his mother." Maya was talking about Andy.
Ben; "not everything has been trouble, when was the last time you went and saw Alex? If it wasn't for Andy that baby born wouldn't be here."
Maya; "what do you mean he wouldn't be here?"She asked no one in the station knew that although Robert loves Alex so much he wasn't managing, he asked for help many times but no one would help because it was different for a single father to bring his baby son up.
Ben; "when Alex was just days old Robert struggled to look after him he tried asking for help, I and Miranda helped the best we could but he still struggled so he was going to give him up. It was Andy that stopped the people coming to pick him up telling them with her help and support Robert was doing a fantastic job of being a father to Alexander. And so you know this was before they fell in love with each other"
Maya had nothing else to say she put on her overalls and got in the aid car.
Police searched family homes where Denise would have gone but no one heard from her. One family member said she liked to go to a church to visit Claire and Vincent
Denise; "it's ok baby, you'll see mummy very soon" as she tried calming Alex down who hadn't stopped screaming since she took him.
They all headed to the church they searched outside and inside the church but there was nothing
Ryan; "listen I can hear a baby crying." Andy got out of the car and ran into the church up the steps to the roof
Denise heard them running towards her
Denise; "please don't come any closer she threats you ain't his mom I'm taking him to see his mother," she said leaning over the balcony
Andy; "Denise please give me Alex he crying and cold" she begged as tears still ran down her face
Denise; "he'll be fine when he goes to see his real mother don't come any closer"
Andy; "I know I'm not his real mother but Alex has only ever known me. He didn't get the chance to meet Claire and that was Claire's choice because she didn't get help." Andy knew she had to keep Denise calm otherwise they'll both end up in danger more
Please come back from the edge, we can talk of other ways for you to be able to see Alex but if you do this then you won't at all
Robert storms to the scene after hearing they found Alex.
Robert; "that's it, you've had it your way now it's my turn, you were allowed to see your grandson when you wanted we said you couldn't take him because he doesn't know you but you've blown it now you ain't never seeing him again."
Andy tried stopping Robert from saying more but he wasn't listening he walked towards Denise knowing full well she wouldn't do anything stupid. He took the baby from her and walking away paramedics took Denise to the hospital
Andy; "I told you to stop, the situation could have been different"
Robert; "but I wasn't" as he held Alex in his arms trying to calm him
Andy; "let me have him I can calm him down"
Robert refused to let Andy have Alex he walked away toward the aid car
Robert; "I'm taking him to get checked out go home to Bella she needs you"
Andy; "I want to hold my son first he's crying and he wants me."Eventually, Robert stopped passing Alex to Andy she wrapped his blanket around him as he was shivering
"It's ok baby, mommy is here," she said as he began to calm knowing he was safe and warm.
Ryan; "Andy your head is still bleeding you need to get it checked," he said as he walked over to the police car
Andy; "I'm fine I just want to stay with Alex, and make sure he's ok"
Maya; "you can go in the aid car with him, he'll hate laying on the bed trolley so if you're on it he'll be ok." She said helping them both
Robert; "I'll see you at the hospital, I'll get a lift from Ryan."
This was a scary experience for them both and Andy and Robert just wanted to be by Alex's side knowing he was going to be alright but Robert's action and pushing Andy away caused concern.
Alex and Andy had the all Clear that they could go home so Just after midnight when they all finally got home Bella had been asleep all night and was good for her grandfather Pruitt. Andy took herself into the spare room she let Alex sleep in her bed so she knew he was safe.
Robert lay awake every time he shut his eyes he kept seeing Alex falling to his death after Denise let go of him but he was reminded that he was safe and alive as he woke screaming which was unusual for Alex as he sleeps straight through now.
Robert; "I'll take him and give him some warm milk you go back to sleep," he told Andy picking Alex up from the bed.
The next day approached and wherever Robert went he took Alex with him, for Andy it felt like he was blaming her for what had happened to Alex. They barely communicated
They heard that Denise has now got the help she needed and was going home to her daughter in Germany
As Andy came down the stairs she had a suitcase in one hand and Bella in another
Andy; "I'm going to stay at my dad's for a while I'll be in touch to see Alex" but Robert never stopped her he just let her go.
