"Mum I'm too tired" Harrison whined as I tried to move him alongside our things through the coach station
We'd been on the road since 4am, it was now 9pm that following evening and we still hadn't gotten to our destination
Sienna had slept pretty much the entire trip which worked out well because I could wear her in the baby carrier while pushing the suitcases and the bags 

"just a little bit further baby, we just have to get on our coach then you can sleep" I said kissing the top of his head

I knew the moment Harrison could understand what was going on, he would hate me
He'll hate me for taking him away from James, from Daniel, from Tanya. From his home 
But I was doing this to protect them..

James found us, I gave in and spoke to Emily, Piper found us.. 
It was only a short amount of time until everyone else found out.. I couldn't let that happen

We got onto the Coach and took our seats, Harrison was seated by the window while Sienna sat still against my chest but this time out of the carrier
The moment the Coach started moving, Harrison fell asleep. I wasn't surprised, he had been awake on and off since 4am, barely having a chance to rest his eyes

I looked down at both of them, they were in practically the same positions I had woken them up from this morning, Sienna with her thumb, Harrison with his Zebra 
I had to keep reminding me what I was doing this for, who I was doing this for.. 

As I took our my phone, I couldn't help but look at some of the recent photos. James had been with us for a week and he'd always wormed his way in deep with both of them

Sienna was what I called my cautious baby. She hated being held by anyone then me when she was a newborn and then that continued through the 18 months she's been here. She's learnt to trust Harrison, Tanya and Daniel. But even that took time 

But somehow the moment she met James, she felt safe. She took to him like a house on fire.. I'd never seen her warm up to someone so fast, she had even began to seek comfort from him apposed to me and I've just gone and taken that from her.. 

Harrison has always wanted a Dad

Harrison has always wanted a Dad. He always wanted the chance to get to know him and he did. James was everything that Harrison had wanted and more but that doesn't shock me. It's James..
