Leah and her soldier

Moving around

Chris goes upstairs and packs some bags then comes back down "where is your car keys" "Chris think about this for a moment" "think about what how can we stay here after what just happened" "baby please" "THIS IS MY FAULT LEAH THIS SHOULD NEVER OF HAPPENED!" Chris starts crying and I go and hold her "he had a knife to our son's throat he should never of been able to get in!" "Baby this is not your fault" "it is I'm supposed to protect yous" "hey baby that's exactly what you did no one got hurt thanks to you" "well that's not true Poff did." Chris goes to get Xander "ahh" "baby what's wrong?" "Nothing I'm fine" "Chris I called your parents" "how the hell did you get my parents number Steph?" "That doesn't matter" "baby show me your ribs" "what?" "Show me your ribs now!" Chris lifts her top and her ribs are black and blue "you're going to the hospital" "no I'm not!" "Fine then I'm not leaving here then!" Chris grits her teeth "don't do this Leah I will throw you in that car and drive myself" "you wouldn't dare."

Chris packs up the car "right get in" "no" "get in the car Leah" "I said no!" "Fine you asked for this!" Chris walks over picking me up "put me down now!" "No!" I wiggle my legs trying to get free and I must of gotten Chris is the ribs because she drops to her knees putting me down "shit baby I'm sorry" "ah fuck" "mummy!" Our parents walk in "what the hell is going on here?" "I think these 2 need to be separated to cool off emotions are running high" "why Katie what's going on?" "Chris is refusing to go to hospital so now Leah is now refusing to leave the house until she does" "why do you need to go to the hospital Chris?" "I don't dad I'm fine but we can't stay here it is a crime scene for a start and it's not safe!" "Get her to show you her ribs Kieth" "show me." Chris lifts her shirt "they are just bruised" "how do you know?" "I've broke my ribs before and know the pain" "maybe you are just tougher this time."

Chris just sits there with both Zade and Xander who she has managed to get to sleep. I go over and crouch in front of her "if we go to the hospital with you will you please go?" Chris doesn't move she doesn't say anything she just keeps staring at the boys so I put my hand on her knee "baby?" Chris wipes her eyes "I can't get the image of that thing with our son, the fear in his eye baby you didn't see it he was so scared" "I saw it in your eyes but I knew with you being with him he would be safe" "how could you be so sure?" "Because you promised nothing would ever hurt him and you never break your promises" "do you really have that much faith in me?" "Of course I do but please I'm begging you please come to the hospital and get checked up" "kid we will keep the boys you know I will keep them safe" "no they don't leave my side" "sweetheart we will take them to ours along with your stuff and yous can stay with us" "mum I can't" "sweetheart you can I promise you can, me and your dad would lay our lives down to protect our grandchildren so let Leah take you to the hospital and we will see you at home."

Chris finally caves especially since the officer told us it was time to leave. I drive Chris to the hospital and she grips her phone the entire time "you know you might be able to see Poff when we get there" "I owe him everything" "we owe him baby and I also owe you, baby you risked everything again" "you owe me nothing but I think we are going to have to get Xander a therapist" "I think your right." We get booked in "why has my dad not text me back?" "Baby he might be getting the boys settled please calm down" "this is why I didn't want to leave them" "I didn't either you know baby but I need to make sure your alright baby I love you so much and seeing you hurt is one of the worst things I see" "I'm sorry about today my love it was supposed to be a fun family day" "baby I don't care about that, do you know who he is?" "He kept saying he wanted his son, he had been following us since Zade was born" "that was their dad?" "No my love they don't have a dad that was their sperm donor."

I sit with my head on Chris' shoulder "sarge?" "Poff how you doing mate?" "Yeah I'm good just a few stitches and I'm as good as new" "you have no idea how much I owe you Poff anything and I mean anything you need you let me know alright I'll make it happen no matter what" "sarge you have saved my life now we are even" "no Craig you helped save my son that is worth way more than my life" "Craig?" "Yeah that's my name you know that's the first time you have ever called me Craig?" "I know, and I know you I'm sorry for all the times I used to get angry with you" "Chris I used to wind you up on purpose" "I know you did" "Mrs Williamson?" "I've got to go but I will check up on you tomorrow yeah?" "Thank you Chris" "no mate thank you."
