Chapter 17

"Grace. I need you to say goodbye to your grandson. It's time for him to go?" The social worker says, taking Seb from my arms and placing him into moms. Mom stares at him for a little while.

"Sebastian. I promise you will have a better life. I can promise you that. Your mom she couldn't do it, but never think she didn't love you, she loves you so so much. And so do I, Everley, Hannah Mamrie we all love you. Espically your mom but this is the right thing to do." Mom cries kissing him gently on the head then placing him back into my arms.

"Let's give Hartley some time to say goodbye to Sebastian." The social worker says, driving everyone out of the room.

"Take as long as you want!" Taylor says.

I put Seb into the Moses basket and sit down beside it.

"I don't have much to say except that I'm sorry I don't love you as much as I should. Seb, you will always be my son, you will always be in my heart I will never forget you. I'm sorry. I'm sorry." I starts sobbing, my voice breaking at points. I put him up and cuddle him close to my heart.

"It's time to say goodbye, baby girl." Mom says, driving out to the hallway.

"Come one let's get him in the car seat." Mom says.

"I love you baby...I'm sorry." I cry, carefully placing a small kiss on Seb and then placing him in his car seat.

"Thank you so much, for this beautiful gift. We can't thank you enough." Taylor says, as Laura bends down and strapped him in.

"You'll look after him won't you?" I ask.

"Of course." Taylor says.

"You make sure she is loved ok." I  cry, looking back into his car seat.

"We will." Alex says, walking up to me and embracing me.

"We have something for you." Laura says getting a ring out, for a bag.

"We have one for you, for the both of us and one for Sebastian." Laura explains, putting the ring on my finger.

"Thank you." I sob, mom brings me into a embrace as I watch Sebastian be taken away from me.

"I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry." I repeat knowing that my son is gone forever.

"Come baby let's get you inside." Mom says, helping me walk back into the house. She helps me back into my room and places me on the bed.

"I'm going to run you a bath, then we can cuddle up together." Mom says, leaving the room and running me a bath.
I hear both raps runnning at a fast paste and mom squirting in the last of the bubble bath.

While I waited for the bath to be done I carefully got myself into my covers. Tears still streaming from my eyes, which are now red and puffy with black mascara stains. The bath was done in no time.

"Right honey let's get you into the bath. Oh baby what's up?" Mom asks, helping me up.

I take my arms away from my chest to reveal patches on my top, where milk was coming out of my breasts.

"Oh baby it's ok, we will find a way to stop that." Mom sighs, helping me take off my clothes and helping into the bath.

Mom drives me into my room, but Everley starts to cry.

"Seb I'm coming." I say, walking towards her room.

"No baby, that's Everley. You get changed and I will be right back." Mom explains kissing me on the forehead.

I get changed into my pjs and make my way downstairs.
I lie down on the couch next to Sebastian's Moses basket. My eyes become very heavy and slowly they close together.

Grace's P.O.V

I come downstairs to see Hartley asleep by Sebastian's basket. I carry her upstairs and place her in bed.

"I promise it will get easier."
I kiss her and then leave.

"Hey Grace how is she doing?" Hannah asks.

"Not to good, she really misses him. I miss him." I explain to Mamrie and Hannah who pours out a glass of wine for me.

"How about we get our grown up time on." Mamrie says, driving me to the couch.

"These are the times when I really wish Chester wasn't such a twat. Sometimes I really do miss him..."

"No, don't you ever talk like that. He was the biggest prick going, what he did to you was disgusting and I hope he rots in hell." Hannah shouts, making me really think hard.

"Right i'm gonna get to bed. I'm shattered and I need to be alright for Hartley tomorrow." I explain, ditching my wine glass on the coffee table then walking towards my bedroom.

"Is it something I said?" I hear Hannah ask Mamrie, if I pissed her off.

"No, she is probably absolutely knackered." Mamrie says.

"Right we might as well go to bed as well." Hannah says, dragging Mamrie upstairs and into Mamrie's room.

The house was silent.
