Daddy loves you

Maybe we should split up?

It had been a month since the bomb and the insurance company had re done the flat so they could move home. April had walked in the flat and noticed the difference 'wow it's so much better in here' she said 'yes I want the best for my daughters.' Patrick said
April hugged him and walked to her bed room 'it's perfect in there dad there's enough room to fit me and the kids in there.' April said 'good.' Patrick said 'it's getting late April maybe you should get to bed' Patrick said 'Mummy can I sleep in your bed I'm scared' Melissa said 'just for tonight then princess' April said 'too' Carter said 'no baby boy you have your bed.' April said carter crawled into April's room and Melissa chased after him April smiled rolled her eyes and put them in bed 'mummy can you stay?' Melissa asked 'I need to speak to your daddy but you know Patrick is here princess.' April said 'yes mummy' Melissa said and decided to close her eyes 'dad I'm going out to meet Robbie and tell him something ill be back' April said 'I hope it's what I think it is' Patrick said 'it is dad I swear' April said and walked outside next to the loft and saw Brendan Brady talking to his sister and a young boy around her age he couldn't keep his eyes off her.
She over heard them talking. 'listen Joel you need to concentrate and not let this man control you so stop giving the pretty girl the eye' Brendan said.
'Sorry Brendan' Joel said and smiled at April she smiled back and looked at her phone.

Text from Joel:
Hey pretty girl standing outside a run down shop you look unhappy what's troubling you?

She smirked but looked up and saw Robbie 'hey I need to talk to you' April said Robbie hugged her 'woah what's happened to your face' April said examining the bruises and scrapes on his face 'what is it you need to talk about?' Robbie asked 'I think we should spli......' before she could finnish Brendan,Cheryl and Joel approached them 'ey look it's the grease monkey ya'know Joel if you had his head on a stick you'll be taken seriously he's a Roscoe after all no one cares about them' Brendan said 'I have a daughter and this very beautiful girlfriend to love me.' Robbie said 'listen Joel getting with this stunning girl would make Mick very angry haha perfect' Brendan said 'Bren don't do anything stupid' Cheryl said April stepped back and stood with Joel
'Hi' she said 'hey I'm guessing your April I have heard of your sister.' Joel Said 'aha the many tales of my sister I swear I'm nothing like her apart from the fact that I got pregnant at 16 while she got pregnant at 13.' April said
'You are beautiful and I bet that kid of yours is too.' Joel said 'thank you Joel'
April said 'April help me please' Robbie said 'this your girlfriend grease monkey I did not see that coming' Brendan chuckled 'what's he done wrong to deserve this?' April asked
'Well there is plenty of things roscoe has done such as stealing from the till at my new clubs threatening Cheryl and Joel and also did you know he slept with Holly Cunnigham last night and the night before Theresa McQueen so you should want to hit him too' Brendan said April felt the anger bubbling inside her 'you what!' she said she was about to pounce but luckily Joel caught her 'ey you don't need him' Joel said 'Robbie I hate you and you'll never see Melissa ever again
She won't even call you dad ever again she will hate you forever.' April yelled
'April careful what you say look behind you' Robbie said April turned round and saw Melissa 'baby what are you doing outside?' April said and ran to her 'Patrick is a sleep so I came to find you mummy' Melissa said April picked her up and brought her to Robbie 'Melissa say bye to daddy you won't be seeing him ever again.' April said
'Bye daddy' Melissa said April slapped him Melissa rested her head on April's shoulder 'I hate you' April said 'Joel take April and the little one to the loft and get a drink down the her' Brendan said Joel nodded and put his arm round her.
April sat at a booth with Joel and Melissa, 'you know you deserve better then him like me' Joel said 'that would be better I never noticed you around the village before' April said
'Yeah' he said and kissed April passionately 'you made this a whole lot better but I have to get this one to bed' April said. He nodded and watched her leave carrying the two year old Melissa waved to Joel as they left Joel smiled to himself.
