Everything beautiful is fragile

#28

Grace curled into Millie tight that night, her grip never loosening even in her sleep, Jacob was fast asleep on the chair, Connie stood at the foot of the bed watching as her family slept.

She heard the door open, then felt the fatherly hand on her shoulder, 'and way aren't you sleeping like the rest of them?' She couldn't tear her eyes away from her girls 'Charlie it doesn't feel real, she went through so much but she been laughing and smiling with us tonight, it's like before.....before we didn't know what her nightmares were about and now......now I know what she'll be dreaming about, hearing he filmed them, while....while she said no....who does that...Charlie she 15, my baby is 15 and god knows how many time he...he...raped her' her voice full of emotion, sadness, angry, hurt, she wasn't sure how she was meant to feel.

Charlie pulled her into a hug 'I'm scared Charlie, I'm scared I won't be able to help her, he told her that she is tainted, that no one will want her, that me and Jacob will leave her if she tells the truth' he rub her back as he spoke softly 'Connie when she tells you what did happen, you have to stop yourself from reacting, she'll be scared that you may not believe her or....or that you're judge', 'how can I judge her, I was assaulted like her at the same age..but...but mine was once and I ended up with something beautiful out of it....I ended up having her...I love her Charlie, I just want her to know I'm here for her' he smiled, she will.

'Mum' she called sleepily, but having heard the conversation, she sat up slightly rubbing her eyes 'mum, I could do with a mummy cuddle' Connie wiped her tears 'coming baby'.

Connie carefully climbed on the bed with her two daughters, moving Grace so she lay on top on Connie, Connie arm wrapping around Millie, both her daughters heads resting on her chest, Connie running her fingers through Millie's hair 'mum, tell me a story' Connie kissed her hair 'of what?' Millie shrugged 'a happy story',
'Once upon a time, there lived this little girl, she was the happiest little girl, always singing, dancing and smiling' Millie eyes growing heavy again 'her laughter was infectious, one day the little girl evil stepmother sent away the little girls only friend, the little girl, became sad, but she never stopped smiling, as she grew up, she grew into this beautiful women, who was smart and caring' Connie looked down to see Millie had fallen asleep, 'Millie you're always been my beautiful, happy little girl, even when you have your own family, I'll always want to love and protect you'.

Connie sat watching both her girls sleep for hours, her mind thinking over everything that had happen in her life and everything that has happened over the last three months, she heard Jacob stir, he looked at her and rubbed his face 'have you slept at all?' She shrugged, running her finger through Millie's hair 'Jacob I've been thinking' he chuckled 'always a bad sign' she gave him an ice queen glare 'that this seriously' he held up his hands in surrender 'okay, okay I'm sorry' her eyes flicking between her two daughters 'I want to step down as clinical lead, I want more time with these two, it's.....it's going to be a long road to.....to......god knows.....but I need to be there for her, every step of the way and.....and I never want anything like that happening to Grace' tears rolling down her face 'this cycle ends with Millie, I will not allow this to happen to Grace to, I....I don't want to miss another thing with them'.

Jacob stood up walking over to her and holding her hand, he placed an arm around her shoulder, she moved her head to rest on his shoulder, 'I want to work part time, I want to pick Grace up from nursery and Millie from school, I want to help her with her coursework and be there to help with exams, I want watch her dance, I want to have Grace friends round to play, I want to make their life's happy' Jacob kissed her forehead 'Connie you being around them makes them happy' she looked at him 'that's what I mean, being clinical lead I'm away from them to much, being a doctor meant the world to me because I was burying my feelings for the child I could never see or have a say in her life, but my priorities have changed, our girls, they need....they need to be my number one priority, as well as you of course, work....work comes second' he cupped her face claiming her lips in a soft yet passionate kiss.

Jacob pulled away, he smiled at her before kissing her again, his tongue asking for access which she granted, both of them deepening the kiss, his hands roaming her hair, her hands holding him close to her, the emotions of the past few weeks which had built up being released she pulled away needing air, he ran a thumb across her cheekbones 'sweet cheeks I'm happy if your happy, if you want to go part time it fine with me, as long as it's what makes you happy'.

She took his hand leading him out of them room, it was the early hours of the morning no one was around, 'Connie where are we going? What about the girls?' She bit her lip, stopping as pushing him up against the wall, 'Millie is awake and there doesn't seem to be any brain damage and well her and Grace are asleep and I..' whispering in his ear 'I want to make love to my husband who I've abandoned for weeks' he smirked bitting his lip while looking into her eyes, seeing the sparkle that returned 'well then sweetcheeks, lead the way' she took his hand in hers again, entwining their fingers, she opened the on call room door and walked in closing it and locking it behind her.

She pushed Jacob to the bed, straddling his waist, his hands on her hips 'are you sure you want this?' She bit the corner of her lip nodding, 'yes I want to make love to my husband, the husband that I love, why wouldn't I?' He cupped her face 'just with everything that's been happening' she cut him off claiming his lips, pulling away from him 'Jacob what happened with Millie is...is disgusting but what you do to me' she cupped his face running her fingers over his cheeks 'you love, you care for me, you've taken on my daughter without even thinking about it, you weren't mad that I hadn't told you about her, you excepted it, you've supported me with everything I do, I love you Jacob, make love to me now please, I need to feel you, I need to feel the way you make me feel' his hands roaming her body as she spoke, sending shivers across her whole body as if setting it alight.

He flipped her over so he was now on top, quickly ridding both himself and her of their clothes, he kissed her passionately as he rocked his hips on her body, his manhood growing harder, his lips moving from her mouth down her neck, finding her weak spot making her moan into his ear, her hands moving over his back, wrapping her legs around him, pushing her wet, hot core on him, urging him on, his hands wandering between her legs, his thumb finding her clit, pressing hard on it, moving his thumb round causing her to arch her back, pushing her chest forward, his mouth moved to her hard nipples, taking the left one in his mouth, his tongue flicking it, her moans becoming louder, her breathing becoming quicker 'Jacob....please....make....love....' before she could finish speaking his hard member sank into her without warning.

He let her adjust to his size 'arrgghh' his eyes widened looking at her 'did I hurt you?' She smiled shaking her head 'no baby, I just forgot how big you are, the only time we went this long with sex was after I had Grace, over 10 years together and the sex is still regular and amazing' he kissed her softly 'just like the women I love having sex with' she smiled running the back of her hand over his cheeks, he slowly started thrusting in and out of her, their eyes locking, staring lovingly into each other 'I love you so much Jacob' he kissed her again 'you mean the world to me, without you, I have nothing, I love you Connie Masters'.

Even after years together the sex was always amazing, he always made her body tingle, she always made him feel live and made his body do things he didn't know he could do, 'con...con...connie', 'yes....yes....yes...jacob' they were both nearing their orgasm 'baby....I'm...so....close' he said breathlessly, she held his face, their eyes locking again, both reaching their climax together, watching as each other's eyes told the other what they were feeling in that moment.

Jacob collapsed on top of her, 'the only thing I'll miss about you being clinical lead is being able to do that in your office' she lifted her head on to his chest looking in his eyes 'we're just have to find other places to do that' he smirked, wiggling his eyebrows 'Connie Masters....I like you're thinking' she laughed looking at the time 'we best get back in case one of them wakes up, we can snuggle on the chair together, he nodded climbing of the bed and quickly getting dressed again, he held her hand as they wandered back to Millie's room, seeing both the girls still asleep, she cuddled into him, exhausted, she quickly fell asleep in his arms.
