OMG, I can't believe I'm almost at the end of this story! I've been counting the chapters and it's like... how did we get here so fast? Argh! 😂


Grace woke me early, her soft little whimpers calling me from her room. I picked her up, taking her into the living area so that she didn't wake up Becky. She looked too perfect with the sheets wrapped around her perfect body, deeply asleep.

I sat feeding Grace, gently singing to her as she drank from her bottle. I could hardly believe I was here. I was scared to hold on too tight, just in case it was a dream.

"That is the most beautiful sight I have ever seen." Becky smiled gloriously, leaning against the door.

"I thought you were asleep. I tried not to wake you."

"Freen," Becky chuckled. "I think you are the one who needs the rest, not me." She crossed the room. "May I?" She asked, looking down at Grace.

"Sure." I smiled as she sat down, taking Grace in her arms. She carried on drinking without so much as a whimper. Even with Alex she used to cry. Could she tell? She was just a baby - that was ridiculous. "She likes you." I smiled.

"How can you tell?" Becky asked, her eyes wet with emotion as she looked at her.

"She didn't cry: she always cries when I let her go." Fuck, I was staring at the two most beautiful things in the world. Becky in just her sweats, feeding our beautiful baby girl.

"Freen, are you drooling?" Becky teased.

"Yes." I smiled, leaning across to softly kiss her lips. "I feel like I'm in a dream."

"It's all real, love. I'm here, and I'm not going anywhere."

"I know." I sighed, resting my head on her shoulder as we both watched Grace.

We didn't go back to sleep – for some reason, Grace was wide awake after her milk. Maybe she could sense the happiness - I wasn't sure. I giggled watching Becky try to change her nappy. She managed it in the end, without my help. We lay Grace on our bed just loving her, playing with her and taking her in. Becky loved her little giggles just as much as I did. We gave her a bath and dressed her in a pretty blue dress later that morning. It all felt so natural, as if we had never been apart. How was that possible?

"You have a shower, I'll watch her." Becky smiled, kissing my lips. I just nodded and skipped into the bathroom.

I looked in the mirror, shocked that my bruises were even blacker today, my neck almost blue. How hard had Alex held me? I started freaking out, thinking about Alex and what he said he would do to Becky if I went to her. Fuck, I hadn't even thought about that: what if Alex was already making 'arrangements'? I was shaking as I stepped into the shower. I needed to tell Becky: she would know what to do.

"Freen are you okay, love?" Becky sat on the bed with Grace as I walked out of the bathroom.

"Alex said he would kill you if I left him for you." I whispered. "Becky, what do we do?"

"Freen," Becky laughed, "Don't worry about that. I get threats regularly. It's usually crazed fans, believe it or not. I think I can handle Alex."

"he's a powerful man, Becky. We have to be careful."

"Freen, relax. Everything will be fine. I have 'things' on Alex - don't worry." I just looked at her smirking at me. "There was a reason I slept with Jane, Freen, and it wasn't to hurt you. I was trying to bring him down so you would be free. Jane told me a lot."

"She did?" I asked, stunned. "Like what?" It still hurt, knowing she had slept with Jane and made her fall in love with her, but I guess I had a small part to play in that.
