Not All Love Stories Are Rainbows and Butterflies. (Sequel to TDTLF)

Chapter One: Normal Again.

"El, you are all messy! How did you get all that ice cream on your face?"  I exasperated as I wiped off the dripping vanilla ice cream from her chin.  As I promised, I took the group out for some ice cream as a treat before El's next therapy session. Things were going great so far, Eli is spoon feeding Liam his ice cream instead of the other way around and El is content eating hers.  It almost feels too relaxing, and I am on edge for anything to go wrong.  I could feel the stares of the people around us and tried to ignore them as we continued to eat the deliciousness of the town ice cream parlor.  If it's not paparazzi following us, it is fans, and if it isn't fans it is usually on lookers who judge El for being who she is.  

I smiled as El began to giggle as I finished wiping off her face then preceding with a quick kiss which only brought on more giggles and a blush.  "Harry kissed El!" she squealed to Liam before taking a big scoop of ice cream.  I turned my head to see Liam shaking his head and chuckling.  

"Harry, it's almost two and El's appointment is at two thirty.  I think we should wrap this up," Liam pointed out.  I nodded my head and began to gather all of our belongings.  That's when I felt eyes almost piercing my body, an aroma of revenge and evil surrounded the area.  I sensed that El could feel it because she grabbed onto my hand and began to hum her calm down song.  I quickly put El's emergency backpack on my back and signalled to Liam to throw out the trash.  El began to shake as we continued to the exit of the parlor.  Come on El, we don't need a seizure right now, I thought to myself as we reached the car.

"Deep breaths El, we are almost gone.  Did you see who it was?"  I coached her through her anxiety attack while rubbing circles on her back as attempts to calm her down.  El only began to sob and shake more.  Soon enough I saw her eyes roll back behind her head and her body started to convulse.  It used to scare the shit out of me when this first happened.  El's first seizure was a couple days after she woke up from her coma.  I didn't know what to do at the time and it freaked me out.  I was helpless, not knowing what was happening... I thought I was going to lose her again.  But now, I am able to help through seizures.  The whole "family" was eager to learn how to help in the time of El's seizures and it has helped tremendously.  By now El's seizures only last two minutes long but they take out a lot of energy out of her body.  I put her in the recovery position making sure her airways are clear.  

I felt footsteps behind me and I slowly turned around to find Liam and a crying Eli.  He doesn't fully understand what happens to his mum when she starts to shake and convulse and is frightened by it.  "Hey E, it's okay bub. Your mum just had another one of her shakes.  She'll be fine, okay?"  Li told him as he put him in the car seat in the very back before getting into the SUV.  I carefully picked up and laid her down in the middle row of seats before climbing in. Eli's cries continued for a little while before he also knocked out.  

"Harry, what happened at the parlor?"  Liam whispered from the back seat.  

Sighing, I turned into the driveway of our little cottage and turned off the car.  "I felt something off, whether it was El's seizure or something else.. I don't know.  It just did not feel right, felt a little eerily.. Like evil or bad.  I just hope it's not what I am thinking."

"What are you thinking?"

"Connor was released two days ago..." I whispered trailing off as I unbuckled and walked to the side of the car to get El out.  

Liam gasped and looked at me, "He was what?!  Don't you think that's a good thing to share with all of us?  I mean, your fiancé's convict husband is running around free from jail.  He can come back, did you think about writing up a restraining order?" Leave it up to Daddy Direction to add more stress to my life, this was exactly why I did not tell him two days ago.
