-Chris's POV-

I handed bruised Christa a bowl of ramen for lunch,
I smiled leaning over the kitchen counter,
Her cut lip formed a smiled in return,
Emily walked through the kitchen,
Giving me and chrissy a kiss on the cheek,
Her hand brushed along our daughters bruised cheek,
" I have just the thing for those, I used to use in back in high school when I got- it doesn't matter. Come here sweetie" she said tapping on the kitchen counter,
She hopped off her high chair and and sat on the surface.
Emily grabbed the medicine box and picked out some cream
She gently rubbed it on the black and blue areas.
There was a comfortable silence in the air.
We suddenly heard the house phone ring,
"I'll get it" I said.
I picked up the phone to hear a voice of the care worker from chrissy's orphanage.
"Hello Mr Cerulli, how is Crystal's settlement in her new home like"
"She is fine, just getting used to us but things are well"
"Any problems at all"
"Nothing too alarming however things haven't been going well at school"
"Has she been beaten up?"
"Yes"
"Yeah that's has happened often"
I gulped looking over at Emily and Christa who were both playfully eating ramen.

"Anyways, the reason more me calling you is that I got a call from crystal's doctor. He called me to announce a new prescription for anxiety medication she will have ran out you see, and I am calling because I totally forgot to cover that when we met. Her medical costs are all covered by us and her medication will be sent through the orphanage and posted to your door is that okay"
"Yeah that's fine Thankyou"
I put down the phone
"What was that about Chris"
"About crystals anxiety medication, darling I didn't know you had anxiety"
Her eyes went wide and looked down.
"I'm sorry if it's a burden, you can take me back I know that it is annoying and -
"Hey, look at me, we would never take you back cause of something stupid like that" said Emily hugging her tight,
"Matter of fact look" she said showing her anxiety pills.
"As a kid I was ashamed of my anxiety too, so I don't blame you"
She let out a smile.
"I'm sorry it's just all my other parents have sent me back bac use of it"
"why was that?" I asked concerned putting my hand on her shoulder.
"W..well once night, I was helping to serve up a Sunday roast, and everyone was about to say grace. I did and then I was asked to pour them all wine. The whole family was there and all eyes on me, my hand began to shake really bad I spilled it all over the mother's silk white, dress that costed thousands. "
"damn" said Emily,
"It gets worse cause as soon as I spilled the red wine, the father showed his true colours"
"He screamed at you" I frowned putting my arm round her,
"He beat me"
Me and Emily looked at each other with glassy eyes then back down at our daughter.
Emily took her into her arm and kissed her head.
"I dunno why I am gonna do with you darling I really don't. I just wish you will never get hurt like that again."
"It's okay I'm used to it"
"Huh?"
"Nothing"
