Chapter 28

I wake up and completely ignore all the notifications that were appearing in my phone. I go downstairs and use the house phone to dial in Chester's number before he can make any plans. With three rings he picks up.

"Hi Grace."

"Hey Chester, you don't think you can have Eve for me today and tonight? I have been sort of neglecting Hannah and I feel soooo bad so I am going to have a girls day. I can find a baby sitter if you can't have her."

"No it's ok, I'll have her. What time do you want me to pick her up?"

"Ten,if that's ok?"

"Yeah sure, I'm going to get dressed then I be around."

"Ok, thank you."

"Bye Grace."

"Bye Chester"

I go into the kitchen and make some food, before I Eve's cry fill the house. I get her out of bed before she wakes up Hannah. I change her diaper then bring her downstairs for food. As she eats her food, I get her bag ready for Chester. I grab a few diapers, and a few spare of clothes. I fold up her pushchair and get her car seat ready as well. By the time I had finished getting everything ready Eve had finished. I wiped her mouth and hands with a wet wipe then get her coat on.

"Eve your going to daddy's for the weekend and two days after you have come back it will be Hartley's sixteenth birthday"

Eve gurgles in reply which you makes me laugh. Within a few minutes Chester was at the door for Eve. I opened it and handed Chester Eve, in her car seat, and then place the diaper bag onto his shoulder.

"Thanks for having her, it will be nice to have a night out."

"No problem, I am quite looking forward to having some quality time with my girl." Chester replies turning around and placing Eve into the taxi.

"Thank you," I say closing the door.

I go back inside the house and close the door. Hannah still hadn't woken up yet. To start her day off right I go into the kitchen and make her a big English breakfast. I finish plating up her breakfast and I place the food in front of the place she usually sits at breakfast. I make my way upstairs and I shake Hannah gently, to wake her up.

"Go away." Hannah moans as she pulls the covers back over her head.

"Nope, come on we need to get dressed."

"Why?" Hannah asks.

"Cuz I am taking you out for the day." I explain, pulling the covers off her again.

"What, really?" Hannah says sitting up and rubbing her eyes.

"Yep, now you have food going cold downstairs, now hurry up." I say, ask Hannah follows me downstairs. I make her sit down and eat her food. While she eat, I continue to get ready. I put my face on and force earrings into my ears. I get my bag ready, it was nice not to have to Eve's stuff in my bag. I bring my phone charger, earphones and a few other things.

By the time I was done Hannah was done too. I made my way downstairs to find Hannah running the water ready to wash up her plate. I race towards her and stop her from doing any work.

"NO work for you today." I explain, taking the plate from her hands and placing it into the sink.

"Now go and get changed, this day if for you. We are only doing what you want to do." I explain, pushing her out of the kitchen making her get changed. I make my way to the sink and pull up my sleeves. I pick up the plate and start to wash it. I can never do the dishes without gagging. I start to gag as I wash up, feeling the left over bits of food in the sink.

"I was going to do that." Hannah say, noticing me gagging.

"Well, you need to relax, what do you want to do today?" I ask, continuing the dishes, and every so often gagging.

"Can we just relax here?" She asks, twiddling her thumbs.

"Yeah sure. What do you want to do, like watch a movie or something." I reply, now drying the dishes.

"Yeah, and actually do you think we can visit Mamrie today?" Hannah say, tearing up at the thought of Mamrie.

"um...yeah sure." I say, a tear escaping my eye. I wipe it away before she notices I was crying.

"ok thanks, I will just get my things together." Hannah says, running up the stairs like Hartley would do as a child when she was excited. I put the dishes away and go and sit down at the table. I redo my make up and then get the car keys ready to go.

"Hannah, YOU READY?" I scream from the bottom of the stairs.

"I'm coming, just go and get in the car." Hannah say, as she closes a few door. I make my way to car and start the car, waiting for Hannah. She quickly makes it into the car and sits down. We drive to the hospital, being normal for once, as friends should do, although she was a little more excited than me. We reached the hospital and go into the hospital, ready to see Mamrie. She was still silent, no movement and the worse news we had was she wasn't responding as well as she should have, but still the nurses and doctors were trying the best they could to keep her heart beating steadily.

We spent another three hours with Mamrie before going back to the house ready to spend the rest of the evening watching movies and eating food. We quickly visit Hartley before we went home.

"What do you want to watch?" I ask, bending down, looking through DVD'S, not noticing my ass in the air, right in Hannah's view.

"I love you"
