Harper's pov

I got to sleep in mommy and daddy's bed that night because mommy wouldn't let go of me. When I sleep with mommy and daddy I don't get nightmares because I'm safe, normally mommy doesn't let go of me so I'm close to her all the time. She kept hold of me all night, however it was different this time. I had a nightmare while cuddling with mommy, which terrified me. I must have wriggled away from her because when I woke up crying I was in daddy's arms. "Shh you're okay, it's a nightmare we're here." He told me as he sat up. He picked me up and I tensed in his arms.

He stood up and walked up and down the room bouncing me a little and gently rubbing my back. I continued to cry but fisted his shirt in my hands and put my head down on his shoulder. He started to pat my back when I coughed from crying too much then sat down and rocked me. Up until then I wasn't paying too much attention to anything he was saying.

He reached behind him and grabbed my blankies and bear which mommy was holding onto still and carefully placed them in my arms. He continued to rock me and watched my eyes growing heavier as he spoke to me. "I'm here Tiny, I'm not going anywhere neither is mommy. Anything you dreamt it didn't happen you were in bed with us the whole time I promise. That's all the past little one." He told me over and over.

When I was almost asleep he finally put me between him and Taylor and lay down with me. I didn't cuddle up to anyone though. As soon as Daddy turned off the lights the memories flooded back. Flashback after flashback hit me like a ton of bricks and I couldn't make them stop. I couldn't talk either and cry for mommy or daddy. They were asleep so how could they help me?

Thankfully I managed to move my arm and hit mommy a few times causing her to groan and try to hold my hand and bring me closer but she needed to be awake. I needed her to cuddle me and hold me and talk to me. I tried again and accidentally got her on the head which caused her to sit up. "Harper, sleep it's late I'm tired." She mumbled.

As soon as she said that I couldn't hold back my tears, I completely broke down and started sobbing and hitting trying to get her to help me. I saw a light turn on and Taylor sat up before picking me up and placing me in her lap to face her. For a moment they started to go away but that didn't last too long. They continued which caused me way too much distress.

"Make it stop! Make it stop! Taylor, stop them, make them stop!" I screamed while shaking my head and covering my ears. I could hear my old daddy's voice and all of his friends. Everything they said just couldn't leave my mind and it was replaying over and over in my head. I could picture every beating I ever had and any time they hurt me.

Taylor's POV

Seeing my baby so tense and in so much distress was causing my heart to ache. I've never seen her break down like this before, holding onto her hair and covering her ears begging me to make it stop. What does she want me to stop? If I ever meet who caused this for her I don't think they would survive me. I carefully took off my shirt like I did the other night before reaching for her hands. She had a tight grip on her hair so I moved slowly, not wanting her to get hurt anymore. "Trav I may need some assistance here." I whispered.

He nodded and sat up too.

"Baby, mommy's here. Let me help you out sweetie." I told her softly. She wasn't listening to me so I gently rubbed the backs of her hands with my thumbs. It took a good five or more minutes to get her hand to relax into mine but when she did I carefully brought them to my chest, placing one right over my heartbeat and the other next to it. I used one of my hands to keep it in place and with the other I gently rubbed her back.
