She Saved Me Version 2

Part 39

Laura P.O.V. 

Mum is coming home from the hospital today and I'm so happy. She is on crutches for her ankle and medicine for pain. but the doctor assured me she will be fine. Tom and I are going to pick her up from the hospital and bring her home. When we arrive at the hospital we find mum sitting up in bed. We walk in and I grab mum's clothes. "Tom can you give us a few minutes?" I ask. "No problem love." he says kissing me and hugging mum before leaving the room and closing the door. I help mum change into her clothes being careful of her injuries. When we are done Tom enters the room with a smile on his face. "You're all set to go." he says looking at Helena. Tom helps mum off the bed and we get her into a wheelchair. I grab mum's bag and hoist it over my shoulder as Tom helps me by pushing mum in the wheelchair. We exit the hospital and help mum into the car. I sit in the backseat watching mum like a hawk the whole time. Once we get home, I grab her stuff and help her out of the car as Tom unlocks the door. When we enter the house we are greeted by the kids. "Mum,Grandma" the kids say excitedly running towards Helena. "Freeze little ankle biters." I say, standing in front of mum protectively. The kids freeze like statues. "You guys have to be very careful with mum and grandma no rough housing." I say being firm with the kids. The kids nod as Tom and I help mum sit on the sofa and I help her put her foot up. The kids sit with Helena for a little bit and then run off to play, and Tom went out to run errands. I sit with mum on the sofa. "Sweetheart relax I'm not a china doll." mum says putting her arm around my shoulders. "Maybe but right now you are fragile and I will do whatever I have to, to protect you." I say. Mum kisses the top of my head "Laura listen sweetheart, I appreciate you being so overprotective but just relax I'll be fine." she tells me giving my shoulders a reassuring squeeze. 

Tom returns from his errands a few minutes later with bags of groceries. I help him put them all away as mum rests on the sofa. I then decide to start dinner. When dinner is done I go upstairs and get the kids. "Guys dinner is ready wash your hands and head down." I say watching Brieanna, Dylan, Billy and Nell heading to the bathroom to wash their hands. I pick Sylar up out of his pack n play and carry him downstairs with the kids following behind me. I get the kids settled and serve them dinner as Tom and mum enter the kitchen. I get them their food and then sit down to feed Sylar his bottle. "Aren't you going to eat honey?" Mum asks. "I will as soon as I finish feeding Sylar and then I have to head to work." I say. Once I am done feeding Sylar I look at the clock and realize it is six pm and i will have to eat later. I grab my clothes for work and dash out the door. I arrive back home about six am the next morning to find everyone up. The kids are up and eating breakfast. "Morning mum." Brieanna and Dylan say getting up to hug me. "Good morning my angels, sleep well?" "Yes." they answer heading back to their breakfast. While they are eating I dash upstairs to check on mum and find her fast asleep. I go and wake up Billy and Nell so they can get ready for school. When they are downstairs eating breakfast I take a quick shower and throw on clean clothes before taking the kids to school. Tom left early for work around four am. 

Later that afternoon the kids are going to Helena's mum's house with her so I can take care of some chores without any distractions.  While I am cleaning I suddenly start to feel sick. I race to the bathroom only to vomit up what very little I've eaten over the last few days. I've been so busy taking care of everyone I haven't had a lot of time to focus on myself. After I finish in the bathroom, I hear a knock at the door. I go to open the door and see Tim standing in the doorway. "What do you want?" I ask getting defensive. "I came to see how Helena was doing?" he answers. "She's fine." I reply hoping he will leave. "How are the kids doing?" he asks. "They are fine." I answer keeping my answers short and sweet. Tim then barges through the door knocking me to the ground. I run to try to get to the back door but he grabs my arm forcefully and pulls me upstairs. I try to fight back but he is too strong. He tackles me into my room and locks the door and throws me on the bed. He punches me while saying "You fucking bitch stay away from my family. He then punches me one more time and I black out. 

Helena P.O.V. 

I'm coming home from the hospital today and I'm so happy I hated being away from Laura, Tom and the kids. Tom's told me what a great job Laura has done keeping everything running and I couldn't be more proud. I'm on crutches for my ankle and medicine for pain. but the doctor assured me I will be fine. Tom and Laura are going to pick me up from the hospital and bring me home. I can't wait to be home.  When they arrive at the hospital I am sitting up in bed. They walk in and Laura grabs my clothes. "Tom can you give us a few minutes?" she asks. "No problem love." he says kissing her and hugging me before leaving the room and closing the door. Laura helps me change into my clothes being careful of my injuries. I know she is afraid of hurting me.  When we are done Tom enters the room with a smile on his face. "You're all set to go." he says looking at me. Tom being the gentleman he is helps me off the bed and they get me into a wheelchair. Laura grabs my bag and hoists it over her shoulder as Tom helps by pushing me in the wheelchair. We exit the hospital and they help me into the car. I can feel Laura watching me like a hawk the whole time. Once we get home, Laura grabs my stuff and helps me out of the car as Tom unlocks the door. When we enter the house we are greeted by the kids. "Mum,Grandma" the kids say excitedly running towards me. "Freeze little ankle biters." Laura says, standing in front of me protectively. The kids freeze like statues. "You guys have to be very careful with mum and grandma no rough housing." Laura says being firm with the kids. The kids nod as Tom and Laura help me sit on the sofa and Laura helps me put her foot up. The kids sit with me for a little bit and then run off to play, and Tom went out to run errands. Laura sits with me on the sofa. "Sweetheart relax I'm not a china doll." I say putting my arm around her shoulders. "Maybe but right now you are fragile and I will do whatever I have to, to protect you." my daughter says. I kiss the top of my daughter's head "Laura listen sweetheart I appreciate you being so overprotective but just relax I'll be fine." I tell her giving her shoulders a reassuring squeeze.

Tom returns from his errands a few minutes later with bags of groceries. I can hear Laura helping  him put them all away as I rest on the sofa.   I then watch Laura go upstairs and get the kids. I then watch Laura carry Sylar downstairs with the kids following behind her. Laura gets the kids settled and serves them dinner as Tom and I enter the kitchen. She gets them their food and then sits down to feed Sylar his bottle. "Aren't you going to eat honey?" I ask. "I will as soon as I finish feeding Sylar and then I have to head to work." she replies.  

Later that afternoon the kids are going to my mum's house with me so Laura can take care of some chores without any distractions. While we are out I try texting Laura but don't hear back. "Maybe she is out or is just busy." I think trying not to worry. I arrive home the same time Tom does about dinner time. I hobble up the stairs with Tom while the kids are eating dinner and we find Laura bruised, battered and bloody laying on the bed.
