I went back inside after i had got out of my daze. I went to sit on the sofa with the rest of the family.
“She is lovely.” Auntie Amie admitted.
“I know.” I agreed smiling.
“Well we better get going.” suggested Uncle Lou.
“Yeah, Thank you so much for dinner.” Auntie Amie thanked & gave us all a kiss on the cheek & says goodbye before they walk out the door & to their car.
Mum took Olivia up to bed & I went up to bed also.
I got undressed & climbed into bed. Just as I got comfortable I heard shouting from downstairs. I couldn’t quite make out what they were saying but one thing was for sure… Mum & Dad were arguing.
They would have the occasional argument but never screaming & bringing the house down. I tried to block out the screaming but it wouldn’t happen they were too loud. Why are they fighting anyway? I plugged my headphones & listened to my playlist on my phone but I couldn’t concentrate on the music that was ringing through my ears. The shouting from downstairs was too loud. Thoughts of why they were arguing & why now were going through my head. I couldn’t stand this. This was torturing me.
I got up out of bed & went into Olivia’s room. She had a look of fear on her face. I walked over to her bed & sat next to her. She sat up also & moved close to me.
“Why mummy & daddy shouting?” I couldn’t tell her they were fighting. I had to lie to her. I knew i would regret it later but I couldn’t let her worry.
“Daddy’s watching the football & you know how excited daddy gets watching football.” I lied. A wave of relief washed over her face once the words left my mouth but I regretted them instantly. It felt like an arrow of guilt hit me right in the heart. I laid Emma back down & rubbed her back helping her sleep. I sang a lullaby over the shouting & she soon got to sleep. I laid on the bed next to her covering her ears as I tried to get to sleep myself. Once the shouting died down I managed to drift off to a deep sleep.

I woke up before Olivia did to silence. I looked at the time on Olivias clock. 3:06. I got off of Olivia’s bed & went into my own room. I sat on the bed & got my phone out.
To: Uncle Lou
Mum & Dad were fighting. Told Liv that Dad was watching football. Help?
I sent. I wondered if he knew what was wrong?
I got a text back after about 5 mins.
From: Uncle Lou
Do you know what they were fighting about?x
To: Uncle Lou
No idea?
From: Uncle Lou
Were you & Liv asleep?
To: Uncle Lou
Not when they started but i had to stay with Liv to help her sleep just woke up a few mins ago.
From: Uncle Lou
Are they still fighting & is that how you woke up?
To: Uncle Lou
No & No
From: Uncle Lou
Okay. Go back to sleep then & I will talk to you & them in the morning. OK. Night
To: Uncle Lou
Night.
I was really worried. The only way I could get back to sleep was the thought that I would get to see Emma tomorrow. I don’t care how & I don’t care when. But I WILL see her.

When Matthew texted me I was beyond worried. He wouldn’t have texted me unless it was urgent. I woke up Amie & told her what was wrong.
"Lou. The only thing we can do is talk to Keira & Ni in the morning." She said rubbing my back while I was pacing back & forth worried out of my mind.
"What if they break up? Where will the kids go?" I asked getting worked up.
"They will come & stay with us! We are pretty much the god parents. Plus they won't break up." She assured me. This is why I Love her! She is so supportive & understanding.
"But..." She cut me off.
"But nothing. Worst things happen, Liv & Matt come & stay with us until they work things out." I guess she was right. "Now come back to bed." She finished & I gave in climbing back into bed with her. I snuggled up to her & she fell asleep in my arms me falling soon after.
