Seeing her Dad

A week later

Ruby and Iain were back at home with their baby. They were happy together and their baby girl was fine. They had only been home 2 days Ruby was being monitored in hospital previous to that. They were sitting on the sofa in the evening and Isla (their baby) was in bed asleep. There was a knock at the door Ruby was basically asleep on Iain's chest "let me get that" he smiled getting up slowly he opened the door to Ruby's dad "oh so she does live here" he smiled "Ruby!" shouted Iain she got up and walked to the door "leave" we're the only things that escaped her mouth "just let me come in" he said "I don't want you here" she said he walked in anyway and sat down her and Iain stood up looking at him "what do you want" she said Iain had never seen her hate someone so much. "What's all of this" he said picking up the teddy on the sofa and pointing at the cot. "Babysitting" Said Iain "and they bought all of this" he said he nodded suddenly the baby monitor went off and Iain held her hand "I'll go" he said she nodded and he walked upstairs he walked down with Isla in his arms she was barely 2 weeks old. "Let's go get mummy" he smiled walking down the stairs as she stopped crying "mummy" said her dad as Iain walked in Iain stood and looked at Ruby "she misses her mummy" said Iain "your her mummy" He asked looking at Ruby "no!" Said Iain. "Can you leave, please" she said tears in her eyes "oh my god she's yours!" He said Ruby sighed and nodded "okay she's mine alright yes she's mine but that has nothing to do with you now leave!" She demanded now "sweetheart" he said walking closer "don't sweetheart me!" She shouted the baby was screaming "Ruby take Isla upstairs calm down sweetheart" he said passing the baby to her she held her close to her chest "she's going to have a good life not like mine" she said walking off. Iain sat down on the sofa with her dad "I honestly want to help her" he said "I guess that's one thing we have in common" he said "listen, what you did to her and her mum is unforgivable she won't ever forgive you for that" he said he nodded "I want to be part of this baby's life" he said "that's never going to happen and you know that" he said he nodded and stood up "I'll leave" he said "I'm sorry" Said Iain "for what?" He asked "you must of had your life go very wrong for you to feel like you needed to murder someone" he said Ruby walked down when her dad started to raise his voice Isla was in bed again she stood by the door as her dad punched Iain around the face "stop!" She shouted running to Iain grabbing him "hey hey it's okay" she said as he sat on the floor her dad pushed her out of the way "you don't love her" he said walking out Ruby stood up slowly and walked over to Iain on the floor looking at his bloody lip "what happened?" She asked "I tried to speak to him Ruby but he clearly wants to be part of this baby's life" he said she sat down on the floor with him and hugged him "I love you" she said he looked at her and smiled "you haven't said that in ages" he smiled "I don't say it enough" she smiled kissing his head "now sit here and I'll get you an ice pack and some tissue" she smiled standing up "Are you okay?" Asked Iain she nodded and smiled as she got up. She sat down with him again and wiped his bloody lip and he held the ice pack to his cheek Ruby smiled sympathetically "I love you too" Said Iain holding her hand he noticed the blood on her arm "what's this?" He asked "I don't know must of caught it when I fell" she smiled wiping the blood with the cloth. He held her hand and they sat for a while before they headed off to bed for a sleep. The next morning Iain woke up to Ruby holding Isla next to him "morning" he smiled "you've got a shiner" she said stroking his cheek he sat up and smiled then frowning "does it hurt?" She asked "not unless I smile" he tried to laugh but he almost cried "that's really hurting isn't it?" She asked putting her fingers through his hair he pulled away and Ruby got up putting Isla down and sat down on the bed "Are you Alright you look a bit peaky" she asked holding her hand to his head. "My head hurts a bit but apart from that I'm fine I promise" he said holding her hand she nodded "maybe we should go and get you checked out" she said "just to be on the safe side Iain please" she said he looked up at her "it's not necessary Ruby" he said "Iain, I um I can't lay here like this with you worrying, please it's a head injury Iain please" she almost begged he nodded "get yourself sorted and get Isla sorted and then I'll go" he said she nodded and let go of his hand getting up and picking Isla up she got dressed and got Isla dressed and then got Iain some clothes "here" she smiled passing them to him he sat up slowly and lent over the side of the bed and threw up "Alright Iain Alright" She said rubbing his back "lay down" she said he lied on his side and Ruby grabbed her phone "can I have an ambulance please" she almost cried holding his hand they put her through. It was taking ages she wasn't getting anywhere Iain was being sick he was coughing she was scared her medical knowledge wasn't kicking in nothing was her baby was screaming.
