Harper woke up and frowned to herself as she realised that the bed next to her was empty. She ran her hands through her hair and sighed. She knew that tom had been struggling after since he had been attacked. She stood from the bed and sighed as she walked down to he sitting round where she saw tom who was sitting on the chair in the living room, in the dark. She looked to him and sighed as she walked into the living room and smiled as she saw josh who opened he curtains and looked to tom "leave it" tom said as he didn't look up from where he was sitting "you need to get dressed and go out of the house, why don't you drive me to school" josh said "I'm not in the mood" tom snapped "josh, go and get some breakfast" Harper said as josh nodded.

Harper looked to tom and sighed "is this issue it's going to be now?" She asked as he sighed and looked to her "leave me alone" he said as she rolled her eyes at him "no, I won't. Josh is trying to help you and so am i, I am having your baby in a matter of weeks and you don't seem to care, you need to sort your issues out tom for once and for all" she said as he looked to her "I don't need to do anything" he spat as she looked to him and glared "you know what? I don't need this, I have tried to be there for you and you can push me away as much as you want but I love you and I'm here" Harper said as he looked to her and smiled slightly as she kissed his cheek and smiled to him.

Later Harper got to work and smiled as she saw max and Madison who walked over to her "how's tom?" Max asked as Harper looked to him and smiled "he's okay, but he's struggling and he won't talk to me, I'm due in over a month and I don't know what to do or how to help him" Harper said as max looked to her and smiled "it will be okay, tom is a proud man that's all besides he will come round when he is ready and he will need you there, it's just his ego has been knocked down" max said as Harper looked to him and smiled.

Later that day, Harper got home from work and slipped her heels off. Her feet were killing her. She sighed as she walked into the living room and frowned as she seen that tom was drinking. He looked to her as she took the bottle from him "what do you think you are doing?" He asked as she looked to him and rolled her eyes at him "saving you from a bad head, this isn't going to help you sort your issues out" she said as he rolled his eyes at her "I can do what I like" he said as she glared "no, you can't this isn't helping you or us" she said as he sighed.

Tom stood up as she went to grab his arm as he pushed her causing Harper to fall to the ground "Harper, I'm sorry" he said as he went to help her up as she pushed him away "don't, don't you dare touch me" she said as she groaned in pain as he looked to her in pain "your in labour, like me drive you to the hospital?" He asked as she looked to him and nodded "then you can leave me alone as I don't want you near me" she spat as he nodded. Tom knows it was all his fault and he was responsible for the premature birth of their baby.
