Cait lay in the bed. She was in pain all over, but it’s the pain that kept her going, the pain made her realise that she had to get her dad locked up for once and for good before he did anything to anyone else. The doctors brought in yet another dose of codeine and she took it, taking away a little of her pain. She looked at her mother, who was staring out the window as she had been for the last hour, doing a loop of looking at her watch, tutting and looking out again.



It had been two hours since Julie was due back with her things. She didn’t want to worry Caitlin, so she looked outside to calm herself. Caitlin was drifting off into a nice sleep behind her, nice until she woke up with a loud scream of “Ahhhhh! Oh my God, oh my God”



“Oh my God what’s wrong, Cait, Cait, what is it? You alright?” and Cait grabbed her, shouting, “It was dad. I remember. It was him, his face, his car. I can remember seeing it zoom towards me as I looked at my phone’s reflection. Mum, I don’t want this anymore. It’s unbearable now.” and she collapsed into Natalie but just knocking her stomach a little set off the morning sickness, and she grabbed the nearest bowl and threw up.
“Mum are you alright?” Caitlin yelled in a panic. “Fine, Cait, don’t you worry” and Cait shook her head. “You were throwing up before I got run over, what’s wrong? What aren’t you telling me? Are you ill?” Natalie took a deep breath as her head was hanging over the bowl and said, “Nothing’s wrong. I’m just a bit sick from this bug” Caitlin said again “You’ve been throwing up for over a week mum, a bug lasts days at most, you’re a doctor, you should know that”

“Oh Cait,” she said, sitting down, “I didn’t want you to find out like this, you’re too ill to cope with more change” Caitlin had tears running down her face, “You’re dying, aren’t you?” Natalie burst in with “Oh God, no dear God, no, I’m not ill, I’m not dying. I’m fine, more than fine. It’s just... “ Caitlin waited patiently before she saw her mum’s hand lovingly on her stomach and she didn’t need to be told, so she said, “You’re pregnant?” Natalie instantly looked up in shock at her guess.



“Your hand, it’s a dead giveaway,” she said to her before she asked. “You’re not angry, are you, Cait?” Cait shook her head, “Nope, it’s nice you’re finally getting your life together. Anyway, you deserve to have a child you… you… get to raise… this time” and Natalie hugged her saying “I’d have given the world to raise you, all these years wanting to give my life just to see you one more time, at least one time before I died” She wiped Caitlin’s tear with her thumb, “I thought it’d be impossible to see you, but Julie made it possible for us” then her mind went back to Julie.



“Mum, what’s wrong?” Caitlin asked her, worried herself now. “Nothing,” she fakely smiled at her. “No mum, that expression looks fearful, I may have only known you a few weeks but I know you enough to know an expression of fear” Natalie sighed, “Julie was due back two hours ago, I don’t know where she is”

Now Caitlin was worried too…

Julie’s eyes slowly opened and with a thumping head, she heard the roars of an engine at top speed going down a road. All she could see was black, and her space was limited, she was in the boot of a car.



The car slowed to a halt and she opened the boot in hopes to get away, but he ran out and chased her, but with her head aching, she didn’t have the energy to get far and she collapsed into a ball on the road. “Well one of you’s gotta pay,” Brian said, “and you’re going to suffer in the process”

He smiled as he grabbed her body and threw it into an old, abandoned shed at the edge of town.



Thanks for the support guys, makes going into a laggy lot worth it! Seriously, though, thanks.

If you didn't guess I'm British so all the spellings are British, just in case you think I spelt something wrong :P
