Love hurts?

Never Let Go

Ocean's POV

It's the morning after what happened with my mother and me, Michael and the kids are sitting snuggling up watching movies on the sofa and there's a knock at the door.

"Abbie? What are you doing here?" I ask confused opening the door. "can I come inside a moment?" She asks in a neutral tone and I nod confused, yet nervous about why she's here. "what's going on?" Michael frowns confused coming into the hall way. "protective services received a call last night about the two of you having aggressive dogs in the house, you showing alot of aggression and violence around them and neglect"

"what are you talking about no we don't! Who said that?" I snap "I'm not allowed to say"

"and what exactly did this person say!?" Michael frowns and she explains everything that this anonymous person said. "that's not true! None of it is" I shake my head nervously. "I bet this was Jessica wasn't it!?" Michael snaps. "Like I said I'm not allowed to say" I say shakily.

"well it's a bit of a coincidence you get this call the exact day we kicked her out!" He shrugs. "Jessica was living here?" Abbie frowns confused. "she wasn't having some problems and needed a place to say and we said she could stay for a month so she could find somewhere, then once it was time for her to go she wouldn't and stared yelling and she even said. We were gonna regret it if we kicked her out" I croak "Please don't take them away from us again"

"is that why your here?" Michael asks shakily. "I'm here because alot of serious alligations were made against you both and it's my job make sure both children's needs and safety are being met" she explains. "and they are! There's nothing wrong with their saftly and their needs" I frown, shaking my head.

"I'm sorry you've had to go through all of this. again. I understand how frightening it must have been for you both to see me here again, but you understand when I claim like this is made. I do have to investigate" Abbie says softly after being here over and hour. "a-and your n-not going to take them away?" I stutter and shakes her head and smiles through pursed lips. "From I've seen both Duncan and Nevaeh clearly aren't been neglected or in any danger.. Especially from these two big softie's" she coos at Max and Benjie petting them as they calmly sit on either side of her wagging their tails. "so what happens now?" Michael asks. "well I'll be making my report on my finding, which is clear from my point of view that the accusations are false"

Abbie stays for a while longer and once she goes I immediately burst out on tears. "Sshh... It's ok" Michael says softly pulling me in close to him. "are the bad people going to take me again?" we hear DJ sobbing nervously by the door and a run over scooping him up in my arms, holding him tightly. "nobody's gonna take you or Veah away" I croak holding him close to me as the I begin getting flash backs of that day he was taken from us and Michael wraps his arms around us both.

Jessica's POV

I called protective services last night and It's now the middle of the afternoon and I still haven't heard anything. "why hasn't Abbie called yet?" I sigh to Mollie "how long did it take the first time?" She asks. "pretty much straight after they took Duncan from them. Surely she would have taken him by now. I'm going to call Abbie and find out what's going on" I say taking out my phone. "wait. Won't it look suspicious that you know about and anonymous call?"

"I'll just say I was wondering how he's doing. I won't mention anything about the call" I shrug, while dialling her number.

"hi, Jessica. What can I do for you?" Abbie answers in a neutral tone. "hi, I was just wondering if you could tell me how Duncan is doing? I haven't heard from him in a while" I say causally. "I'm sorry. I'm not allowed to give out any personal information on any cases past or present you know this"
