Helena P.O.V.
Today I am being released from the hospital and I am so happy to finally be going home. I sit in the hospital room waiting for Laura and Tom to come pick me up. When they arrive Tom helps me into a wheelchair as Laura slings my bag over her shoulder. We then head out to the car and Tom drives us back to the house. Thankfully the kids are at school so I am able to get into the house without obstacles. Tom goes out to run errands as Laura helps me into the house. Once we enter the house I hobble my way over to the couch and Laura helps me put my foot up. She then walks into the kitchen to start prepping dinner before she leaves to pick up the kids. I lay my head back thinking about things. I think about what Tim said about us needing his help. I open my eyes again and see Laura cooking in the kitchen. Unfortunately the smell of the cooking makes me sick and I find myself getting sick in the trashcan Laura left next to the couch. Laura upon hearing the noise comes in to check on me. "Mum are you alright?" she asks, worry etched on her face. "I'm alright sweetheart, just not feeling well." I tell her, as I continue to lay my head back against the couch and close my eyes. "I'm leaving to get the kids from school and daycare I'll be back shortly." she tells me, dashing out the door. I rest my head back against the couch when I suddenly hear the door open again. Thinking it's Laura I pay it no mind not until I hear a voice say "How are you feeling?" My eyes snap open and I see Tim standing in the living room with baby TJ nestled in his carseat fast asleep. "What are you doing here?" I ask Tim, having no idea what he is doing here. "I came by to see you and to see how you are doing?" he tells me. "I'm doing fine." I tell him harshly hoping he will get the message and leave. Instead he sits on the couch next to me and takes baby TJ out of his carseat and holds him. "'I thought you might want to see your grandson since you haven't seen him in a while." Tim says, offering the baby to me. As much as I wanted to hold him I had to fight the urge not to. It doesn't mean I don't love him, I just wish I didn't feel so conflicted about his father as much as I do. I then decide against my better judgement and take baby TJ from Tim and hold him. "Do you need me to get you anything?" Tim asks. "No thank you, I'm all set." I state. As I sit there holding my grandson I start to hear the car pull into the driveway. "Tim you need to leave now." I say to him, while handing baby TJ back to him. "I don't want to take him from you, he seems pretty comfortable." Tim says, smirking at me. Laura chooses this time to walk into the house with the kids. Billy and Nell walk over and hug their dad while Brieanna and Dylan walk over to me and hug me. I then notice Laura walking into the house with Charlie and Sylar in their car seats. "Do you need a hand?" Tim asks her, although I notice his tone is somewhat smug as he is watching her struggle. "Not from you no." Laura says, as I notice her icy tone. "Laura." I say to her looking at her with a look that is telling her to still be respectful. I don't forgive or have not forgotten what Tim did but he is the father of her siblings and she will still respect him to an extent. She shoots me a slight glare as she puts Charlie in the pack n play with Sylar and then heads into the kitchen to get the older kids a snack. As she is in the kitchen Tim looks at me and says "You know you'll need my help." I then notice him smirk. Laura then walks back into the room and takes baby TJ from me and puts him in his car seat all while saying to Tim "You need to leave now." I look at Laura glaring at her and say to her "Laura don't be rude." " I'm not being rude I think he has been here long enough and you need your rest. " Laura says and I can tell she is getting agitated with me. "I'll leave but like I said, just know if you need me you have my number and know where to find me." Tim says, walking out the door with baby TJ. " Laura that was extremely rude of you. " I say to her. "Mum I'm sorry but I don't care. I don't care who he is I don't want him near me or my children. Have you forgotten what he did to me?!" She says getting angry. I lay my head back against the couch as Tom chooses this time to return from grocery shopping. Laura walks into the kitchen to help Tom put away the groceries and to finish cooking dinner while I lay my head back against the couch my head spinning and my mind racing unsure of how to feel.

Laura P.O.V.
Today mum is being released from the hospital and I am so happy she is finally coming home. Tom and I enter the hospital to go pick her up. When we arrive Tom helps mum into a wheelchair as I sling her bag over my shoulder. We then head out to the car and Tom drives us back to the house. Thankfully the kids are at school so I am able to get mum into the house without obstacles. Tom goes out to run errands as I help mum into the house. Once we enter the house mum hobbies her way over to the couch and I help her put her foot up. I then walk into the kitchen to start prepping dinner before I leave to pick up the kids. I walk into the kitchen and grab the pot to make pasta and grab out the jar of pasta sauce and the sausages out of the refrigerator. I open the sausages and put them in the microwave to begin to thaw them faster. I then hear mum getting sick in the trashcan I left next to the couch. Upon hearing the noise I go in to check on mum. "Mum are you alright?" I ask, worry etched on my face. "I'm alright sweetheart, just not feeling well." She tells me, as I watch her lay her head back against the couch and close her eyes. "I'm leaving to get the kids from school and daycare I'll be back shortly." I tell her, dashing out the door. I drive to Billy and Nell's school and pick them up from their classrooms. I then get them to the car and we go to pick up Sylar and Charlie from daycare. We then lastly pick up Brieanna and Dylan from school. Once I pick up all the kids I debate on whether or not to stop at the store. I decide against it and decide I want to get home to mum. I pull the car into the driveway and Billy and Nell get out of the car as do Brieanna and Dylan. I then notice Tim's car in the driveway and start to feel my blood boiling at the thought of him. I walk into the house with the kids. Billy and Nell walk over and hug Tim while Brieanna and Dylan walk over to Helena and hug her. I then walk into the house with Charlie and Sylar in their car seats. "Do you need a hand?" Tim asks me, although I notice his tone is somewhat smug as he is watching me struggle. "Not from you no." I say, my tone icy . "Laura." Mum says to me looking at me with a look that is telling me to still be respectful. I don't forgive or have not forgotten what Tim did and I can't understand why mum still wants me to respect him. I shoot her a slight glare as I put Charlie in the pack n play with Sylar and then head into the kitchen to get the older kids a snack. When I am done I walk back into the room  while saying to Tim "You need to leave now." Mum looks at me glaring at me and says to me "Laura don't be rude." " I'm not being rude I think he has been here long enough you need your rest. " I say and I am now getting agitated with mum for sticking up for Tim. "I'll leave but like I said, just know if you need me you have my number and know where to find me." Tim says, walking out the door with baby TJ. " Laura that was extremely rude of you. " Mum says to me. "Mum I'm sorry but I don't care. I don't care who he is I don't want him near me or my children. Have you forgotten what he did to me?!" I say getting angry. Mum lays her head back against the couch as Tom chooses this time to return from grocery shopping. I walk into the kitchen to help Tom put away the groceries and to finish cooking dinner while mum rests on the sofa all the while my mind reeling and while I am seething with rage.
