Christmas dreams

Accident

Mia POV

It's been 2 weeks since Hannah showed up and she is broken. I've been doing everything I can to support her but I'm at my breaking point. She hasn't informed the police of the situation and every time I bring it up she starts to cry. She is locking her self up in her room and I'm taking care of Avery. I'm nearly 7 months pregnant and I've been told my blood pressure is high so I'm supposed to be taking it easy and right now I'm. Cleaning up Averys mess while I'm holding her on my hip bone which already feels like hell because I have SPD. Which is a specific issue with my hips while I'm pregnant.

Avery is having a tantrum because I want to put her down and I'm just about to break when the door open and Chris walks in.
"Hey Every......" he stops after seeing the state of me and rushes over to take Avery from me.
"What the hell Mia?"
"Please don't shout at me chris, I'm so stressed out and I'm in so much pain I can't take it right now"
He looks up at me and sees the tears filling me
Eyes.
"Oh Baby. Luca!"
He comes in and sees me crying "is everything okay?"

"Yeah mate can you just take Avery to the living room for me and play?"
"Okay"
He ruffles his hair and then when they are gone he walks over to me and wraps his arms around me. I lean my head on his chest and begin to sob.
"Where is Hannah?"
"She's upstairs. She just keeps herself locked away and I'm doing everything and I just......."
Another sob racks through me and he holds me close.

"Baby, go sit down and I will clean this okay"
I nod and waddle to the living room. Something has to give this can't keep happening. Before I make it to the living room I decide to head up the stairs to confront my sister. When I get to the door, I hear her giggling like some school girl, I fling the door open and she is sat on the bed, with her phone in her hand.

The look on her face when she sees me is pure shock, I walk over and talk her phone. As I look down I see Paul's name.
"You've got to be kidding me"
"Wait Mia I can explain"
"Explain what? He beat you Hannah and yet here you are giggling away with him"
She looks down and I know the water works are about to start.
"Don't even try it with that. You want him back then go but your not taking Avery"

"What?" I storm out the door and she pulls my arm just as I get to the top of the stairs.
"You can't take my child away"
"I can if I believe she is in danger. I'll go to the police myself"
I turn quickly and as my foot steps onto the next level, she spins me around again and slaps me. I feel myself loose balance and tumble down the flight of stairs

Chris POV

I'm still tidying when I hear an almighty bang come from the stairs. I run out and I see Mia on the floor right at the bottom. She is lay face down and I see blood coming from her.
As I look up I see Hannah standing there in a state of shock.
I shout "what the hell happened?"
I grab my phone and call an ambulance and Hannah just stands there not moving.

The paramedics arrive and are dealing with Mia, I make sure Luca and Avery stay in the living room. I've given them all the information I can including how far along she is in her pregnancy. As I look up the paramedic asks what happened and I look to Hannah. She looks straight at him and simply states "I slapped her and she fell"
