Chapter 1: Saturday morning discoveries

Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters.

Kate had been fully recovered for six months now, things were better in the Fitzgerald household, Sara was more relaxed, Jesse was more confident and happier about school, Brian was less tense and Anna... Well, Anna wasn't feeling too good.

It all started on a Saturday morning, Anna was just waking up when Sara came into her and Kate's room.

"Anna, honey, it's time to wake up..." said Sara as she removed the covers from Anna's body, Anna was lying on her back and her Pyjama top was halfway up her stomach.

Sara gasped at what she saw, there were six large bruises all over Anna's stomach.

"Brian, Kate, Jesse!" Sara screamed to her husband other two children, all three of them came running into Anna and Kate's room, they all gasped when they saw the bruise on Anna's flat, pale stomach.

Brian gently lifted Anna up and carried her outside to the car with his wife and other two children following close behind and together, they drove off to the nearest hospital.
