"Morning" Ariana groans as Ella climbs in the bed "Morning" Ella giggles cuddling into her mum. "Ella it's 4 am what are you doing up" Ariana asks cuddling her baby girl "Sophia pushed me off my bed" she pouts "why you on daddy's side of the bed" Ella asks, she was used to Ariana being in his tops but she never found her on her dads side. "Mummy misses daddy a lot" Ariana sighs "I miss daddy too" Ella pecks her check.

"Let's go back to sleep okay we don't know what will happen today" Ariana gives her a saddened smile "okay" Ella smiles getting comfy on the sheets "why is your bed so much comfier than mine" Ella pouts "you might need a new mattress" Ariana groans just wanting to go back to sleep. "And me and daddy have a more expensive mattress than you" Ariana giggles "that's so not fair" Ella pouts making Ariana giggle.

"Party in mums bed" Hudson laughs "no" Ariana groans "why does everyone like waking me up" she ask "because you make us smile mum" Ella smiles "Ella why oh never mind" Ariana chuckles "right who wants a cooked breakfast" Ariana asks "me" Ella, Hudson and Ava giggle "Sophia" Ariana asks opening her arms. Sophia gets in the hug while Ariana rubs her back "what would you like for breakfast" Ariana asks "do you have any fruit" she asks "of course I do" Ariana smiles at her.

"Right you lot go and get changed while I make you breakfast" Ariana smiles as all kids run off.

Ariana gets up out of bed and makes her bed. She pulls on some shorts before going downstairs to make everyone breakfast. After she had made breakfast she calls everyone down.

"Ava how are you today" Ariana smiles "tired" she yawns "and my back hurts" she pouts "well you did look cute" Hudson says making her blush "you both looked cute to be honest" Ariana laughs "muuuummmm" Hudson whines "I came to see if you wanted anything but you were cuddled up asleep so I turned off the tv" Ariana chuckles at both their red faces.

"Mum" Ella asks "yes baby" Ariana smiles "can you braid my hair after I've eaten" she asks "of course I will" Ariana smiles at her daughter while she eats her toast.

Ariana washes up all the plates and stuff that she had used before grabbing a brush as sitting Ella down in front of her. "I wish I could do this" Ella pouts "one day you will be able to" Ariana smiles. "God your hair is long" Ariana chuckles "like yours" Ella smiles "I know" Ariana pecks her forehead.

"Mum" Hudson smiles "yes Hudson" Ariana asks "Can I go out" he asks "of course where you going" Ariana asks "Ava wants to go and see the new movie" Hudson smiles "you need any money" Ariana asks and he shakes his head "Hudson, you don't earn a lot your self let me help" Ariana sighs "Mum I've got it don't worry" Hudson tells her handing back the money Ariana had just given him.

"Have fun you two" Ariana smiles as they go out the door. "Why does Hudson get to earn money and I don't" Ella asks "when you turn 13 you can" Ariana giggles "and Hudson only works in the shop" Ariana tells her.

There was a knock on the door and Ariana got up to answer it. "Hello" Ariana smiles "we would like to question the girls is that okay" he ask "yes can I get changed first" Ariana asks and he nods.

"Ella your not having that £20 put it back" Ariana warns her and she pouts. Arian goes and gets changed as she goes with the girls to the station.

"Who wants to go first" he asks "me" Ella says and he nods "do you want your mum with you or not" the officer asks. Ella looks at Ariana "it will be okay" Ariana tells her "what if I get scared" she asks "you tell the truth okay, everything will be okay, there just going to ask questions about what happened okay" Ariana explains hugging her daughter. "Okay" Ella says "if you want me just say" Ariana says and she shakes her head and Ariana nods.

"Ella" the officer smiles and Ella nods "Can you explain what happened" he asks "I went to Sophia's house to stay over and her dad was drunk." Ella thinks "me and Sophia were upstairs in her room talking about school and boys and normal girl stuff" Ella says and the man nods. "What happened next" he asks gently. Ella starts to get upset "do you want a drink sweetheart" he asks and Ella nods "we will get that for you okay, what about your mum she's welcome to come and sit in here" he asks and Ella nods.

The officer walks out and gives a saddened smile to Ariana. "Ariana" he asks gently "does she want me" Ariana asks and he nods. "Simon can you keep Sophia company and ensure she doesn't run off" he asks and Simon nods.

Ariana stands up and walks with the officer to Ella. Ella sees her mother and runs into her arms "it's okay" Ariana picks her up carrying her to the chair and placing her on her lap. "You can seriously pick an 12 year old up" the officer ask "you just saw me" Ariana says rubbing her hysterical daughters back.

"Ella baby" Ariana asks making Ella look up to her "you need to do this" Ariana tells her "okay" She nods holding on to her mother as she takes a sip of the water that she was given. "What happened after you and Sophia were talking about Girl things" the officer asks "her dad came in" Ella says as Ariana rubs her back. "What did her dad do" he asks gently "he was shouting, he told me to take off my clothes" Ella sobs "he said if I didn't he would hurt my mum" Ariana clings to Ariana even more "it's okay I'm here" Ariana tells her. "Did you do as he asked" the officer asks and Ella nods "what did he do" he ask "he cane towards me and touched me, he threw me On the bed" Ella sobs "Sophia got him off of me" Ella says "Ella it's okay Sophia can explain that if you don't want to" he asks and she shakes her head "her dad got his urn" Ella stutters "we know what you mean it's okay you don't have to say it" he tells her as Ariana rubs her back in soothing circles. "He raped her" Ella cries "Sophia didn't want me to get hurt so she took that" Ella cries "Ella your done" the officer says not wanting to distress her anymore. "Can you send Sophia in" he ask and Ariana nods carrying her daughter out.
