Olivia's sister

** 2 weeks later **
Olivia's POV
As I unlock the front door, my wife and I head inside. We hear laughter and splashes from outside. We run upstairs and change into our swimsuits before heading outside. We go through the gate. Noah, Sam, Mason and Lucy are playing in the pool.
"Momma mama your home." Noah smiles
"Yeah." I smile
We get in the pool and swim around with the others. Soon me and Amanda are lying on the pool chairs, half submerged in the water. Mason waddles around in the shallow water. He reaches for Am.
"Mama." He smiles
"awwwww, hi my baby." Amanda sits up and splashes with him.
Soon it gets late and we head inside. Lucy joins us for dinner.
"Hey could I stay a little while longer?" Lucy asks 
"Sure." I respond, "any reason why?"
"The Crivellos fired me and I've been kicked out of my apartment cause I, I,..." she starts to cry and runs upstairs.
I turn to Am and mouthe to her that I will go check on her. Amanda nods and I quickly rose and head upstairs. I stand outside the door of the room Lucy stays in.
I knock softly, "Lucy? It's Liv."
"Come in." She replies
I open the door and head in. I sit on the bed beside Lucy.
"What's up sweetie?" I ask her
"I was kicked out of my apartment because umm, I umm, I wouldn't give my landlord," she cries. "S, s, se, se, sex."
"Oh sweetie!" I wrap my arms around her and she shudders from crying.
She gently stops and I let her go, "I never wanted it. He forced me. He r...r...raped me."
"What is this MotherFuckers name?" I ask, "I wanna find who hurt my girl. Cause your like a daughter to me."
"Thanks Liv. His name is Richard Michaelson." She smiles softly and hugs me again.
"Ok, tomorrow morning, come in with the kids and we'll get your statement then you can bring the kids home ok?" I smile
She nods and I squeeze her hand. We get up and we head back down and finish eating. It gets late so I take Mason up to his room. I sit on the rocking chair, lay one foot on my other knee and lie Mason's head in my chest. I rock slowly.
"Sleep sleep sleep. Fly away to dreamland where the sun always shines, and kids always play, where everything is happy." I sing softly, "and where you are safe. Sleep, sleep, sleep."
Mason is asleep so i lay him in his cot before turning on his mobile and his music maker. I close the door and slip into Noah's room. He is lying in bed. The boy is reading a book for school. I head over.
"Alright Sweetboy." I bend down beside him, taking the book and placing it on his desk, lied time now."
"Okay, momma." He lies down fully and cuddles Eddie, "night mommy,"
"Night Noah," I kiss his forehead, "sweet dreams sweet boy,"
I leave his room and head into Lucy's room. She is sitting up in the bed. I go and sit beside her.
"Thanks for everything Liv." She smiles
"No problem Luc, I was gonna ask you if you would like to permanently live here. We could design your room and everything. And I'm sure the kids would love it!" I reply
"Really?" She asks, I nod, "of course I would love to."
She leans over and hugs me. I laugh and hug her back.
"Good night Lucy. Sweet dreams." I smile, getting up.
She looks up, "um, just so you know, I do get night terrors, so you might hear screams." She has teary eyes.
"It's ok, if you need, come wake me up. I've been through it before. The night terrors, flashbacks." I sigh, hating the thought of Lewis, "all of it."
"Thanks Liv." She whispers.
I get leave and head into my own room. I lay down beside Amanda and we fall asleep.

~~4 am~~
I am woken by screams. I immediately jump up, Amanda beside me and we head out. I hear them coming from Lucy's room. I go in and see her writhing in her bed. I run over and sit beside her. I shake her gently.
"Lucy, Lucy, sweetie, wake up." I whisper softly
She bursts awake and shakes crying. I wrap her in my arms.
"Shhh! Shhhh! Shhh!" I soothe, "it's ok. It's ok sweetheart."
She slowly calms down and looks up at me, "I'm sorry Olivia."
"Hey, hey, hey." I look at her, "you don't need to apologise sweetie."
"Ok." She replies.
"Do you want some water?" I ask
She nods and i look at Amanda who quickly heads out. She returns and passes Lucy the glass of water. She drinks it. I rub her back gently. She sighs.
"You guys can go back to bed. I'll see you later." Lucy lies back down.
"Ok, try and sleep. I'll see if I can get you in with my Psychiatrist. He's quite nice." I smile.
I kiss her forehead and head out. I follow Amanda back into our room and we head to sleep.
