New Beginnings

"Mr. and Mrs. Sharp?" A well-dressed black haired female doctor addressed them. Cadence clasped Edwin's hand as they stood from their seats in the waiting room. "High I'm Dr. Wellbrook", she smiled showing off flawless teeth as she shook Edwin's hand. He returned the smile with one of his own, his eyes gleaming like he could already imagine she was naked under her lab coat. The good Dr. led them to her office and closed the door.

"Our daughter has what?" Edwin asked, his voice rising in volume.

"Cerebral Palsy Mr. Sharp." Dr. Wellbrook answered calmly. "I have some pamphlets I can give you, numbers for support groups."

The Dr.'s voice repeated over and over in her head as they drove back. Cerebral Palsy, she had some google searching to do. "Edwin? You're so quiet", Cadence murmured, he didn't respond. She bit her lip, tried again and he snapped, but she was used to his anger these days. The bruising was fading, he'd promised never again, but Hannah had spilled on the new rug and never only lasted till then. Could it be rape if you were husband and wife? It surely didn't feel like love anymore.

Their house was beautiful, a supposed testament of his care for his family. She kept it spotless or she faced his fury. They had been happy once. When she was pregnant he treated her like a queen. Then her little angel started showing signs of what they now knew she had. The silver cloud she'd been living on turned to ash and dropped her to the concrete. She kept a clean house; she was no slouch, but the moment he found a few toys laying unkempt on the floor in Hannah's play room he exploded. He'd never been so rough before and she quickly realized it wasn't just a fun way to spice up their sex life.

She knew she had to leave him, she knew he was cheating on her. He never hurt Hannah at least there was that, but he wasn't the father she deserved either. Catching him with his head between his assistants legs some months later was finally enough for her to do it. Thank god her father was a big time lawyer who never liked his son-in-law. Thank god Edwin was cock sure and just plain stupid enough to sign the prenup as outrageous as it was. He was so sure he'd keep his woman no matter what… yeah about that…

"Come on spudley lets go." Tuck yelled from the bottom of the stairs. Joe called down that he was almost ready and the brit sighed. He hated these days, days when Greg 'the wonderful' would pick Joe up. It was just like Katie to flaunt her knew relationship in his face. He heaved another sigh and went out as far as he had to too give Greg the universal sign for just a minute. Joe came scrambling down the stairs not a moment later.

"Daaad." The young boy grimaced as his father wrapped him in a good bye hug.

"What I'm not allowed to give my son a cuddle?"

"Do you have to say it like that? It sounds so girly." Joe complained and Tuck laughed, giving his son another squeeze.

"Be good for yer mum yeah?" Tuck said as he saw Joe out the door. He gave a halfhearted wave as Greg smiled and drove off. Tuck pulled out his cell phone and dialed his partner, he needed a drink. He met FDR at the pub they always went to and it took him a minute to realize his friend was talking.

"Earth to Tuck, you with us buddy?" FDR laughed and the brit blinked.

"Huh? What? Oh yeah mate go ahead and break", Tuck answered as his partner laughed. "What? Did I miss something?"

"I was asking what had you so unfocused…oh Mr. wonderful picked Joe up didn't he?" FDR asked though he was quite sure he knew the answer.

Tuck took a long pull from his beer and simply nodded. He supposed it wasn't fair, so he and Katie didn't work; he still wanted her to be happy right? Joe was the best, most important thing to him and Katie was his mother, that afforded her some of his care didn't it? "Is it wrong that the bloke's so nice it makes me mad?" The brit sighed.

"No I'd say it makes you human, try online dating again?"

"No mate, not after this you know…?"

FDR held up his hands then, "How about that new intern? Hot right?"

"Mate she's barely legal and practically throws herself at me, its…off-putting"

"Ok hot MILF's?"

"Hot what?"

"Never mind…I'll break"

Cadence pulled up to their new home with a shaky smile. She didn't like moving Hannah around so much, but this was just too good to pass up. A two story brick Studio/store front, close to The Village and local shopping districts in L.A. what more could she ask for? Top it all off the school system was amazing, had every special ed. Kind of help she could ever need. She had spoken to Hannah's teacher yesterday. Mrs. Adelai had assured her that she had taught kids with Cerebral Palsy in the past and would be delighted to have Hannah join the class at the start of the next grading period. The older women then offered to have Cadence observe a typical school day if she so wished. Yes, she had a good feeling about this new move.

"Mo-m are…we there?"

"Yes baby girl we're home", Cadence smiled, grasping her daughters hand as the movers arrived. She watched as Hannah grabbed her crutches and jumped out of the Kia to watch as their life was carried into somewhere she hoped they'd stay forever…she was sort of right.

"Mom…take a…break", Hannah pleaded five hours into unpacking.

"I can't find the picture."

"Oh…mom, just take a…break, please?" Hannah groused and Cadence sat up with a sigh.

"Alright baby girl enough unpacking."

"Yay…lets watch…a movie."

"Ok what one? Tangled right?" Cadence laughed as Hannah nodded quite enthusiastically. After grabbing snacks and drinks they settled in for a good time. Her daughter squeezed to her side as they watched and Cadence planted a kiss on the light brown haired girls head. Tonight was perfect, tonight was a new beginning for them. She could take anything as long as she had her little angel by her side. What would tomorrow bring rain? Sun? Love?
