With the wedding now done, Davina thought she'd finally get some time to relax but it seemed as if life didn't want her to do that.

Instead it just handed her another problem: Connor.

She thought after the wedding he'd finally get some time to sleep but instead of going back to his regular self like she imagined, she got the complete opposite.

She was interrupted from her time with Matt one Friday night to the constant ringing of her doorbell, Davina sighing as she made her way to the door.

She was surprised to see Jo there, tear stained with a suitcase in her hand.

"I tried. I really tried Davina but I-I just couldn't."

Shaken up a bit, she quickly shook her head, opening the door wider to let the older girl in, quickly closing the door behind her.

The two walked into the living room, Matt coming down confused, it only confusing him more when he saw Jo there.

Davina gave him a look, him quietly understanding as he made his way to the kitchen.

Focusing her attention on Jo, Davina sighed, "Okay, so talk to me."

"I just- at first I thought it was just nightmares. I didn't think it was anything serious. I just helped him fall back asleep-"

"Wait. What nightmares Jo?"

"I don't- wait, he didn't tell you?"

Davina was quick to shake her head, Jo sighing as she brushed her hair back.

"He didn't tell me either. All I got out of him was that it was a nightmare about your parents. He didn't want to speak more about it."

"Okay... so nightmares. I don't get it, their anniversary isn't for a while. Harry is locked away... oh god you don't think it's my fault, do you?"

"No! Why would you?" Jo asked, wide eyed as Davina shrugged, biting her lip.

"I-I'm getting married Jo. In mom's dress. Do you- do you think that brung back memories?"

Sighing, Jo shook her head, "It's deeper than that. It has to be. This isn't just about your parents, this is something else."

At that moment Matt came out with glasses of water for the two girls who sat nervously on the couch.

"What else has he done Jo?"

At that question Jo remained silent, drinking some of her water which only made Davina more nervous.

"Has he hurt you?"
