Two years later...

"You've got to tell him." Paul Blythe urged Caroline.

They were sat on a bench in the garden, at the back of Billy Shepherd's house. The two watched as Billy fussed over his two-year-old daughter, Penny. They were sitting out on the grass and Paul gave a little chuckle as Penny decide to pester her father, shoving a bunch of daisies into his hands, telling him to help her make a daisy chain.

Billy, with a confused expression, looked down at the daisies that were thrust at him. He opened his mouth to ask what he should do with them but he found that Penny was already sprinting towards him with even more flowers bundled into her little arms.

Lord, what on earth did I take on? Billy questioned himself. Before he could answer himself, Penny was already pouncing on him, bossing him about. He shook his head and enveloped his daughter's rasped words.

On the bench, Caroline shuffled, uneasy with what she was thinking. She knew that Billy was juggling with time by trying to manage his business and taking a bit of time with Penny. So why would he have any spare time? But Paul was right, she had to tell him.

"Billy, dear," She called. He lifted up his head and the two connected eyes. "Come here for a moment."

Billy said something to Penny and got up, striding over to Caroline. "Mother," he said, taking a seat next to her. Paul, beside him, nodded and left the two to go back inside.

"There's something I need to tell you." She jumped right in.

"Go ahead."

"I don't think I can be Penny's nanny anymore."

"Eh?" The look on Billy's face was filled with bewilderment. "Surely you're Penny's nan for life, ain't you?" he asked.

"Not that kind of nanny," Caroline bristled, a frown coming upon her face. "Anyway, things are getting quite tiring, I'm getting old-"

"What? You're like thirty-two, ain't you?" Billy interrupted.

Caroline frowned at her son. "Billy, I was not thirteen when I had you."

"How old were you then?"

"I'm not telling you." A moment was spent in silence, both Billy and Caroline looking off into the distance. It was then Caroline decided to move back onto the topic. "So, what do you have to say then, I want your opinion." She asked.

Billy sighed. "I don't know really. Why do you want to back out, Mother?"

"Well...I guess...erm...troubles." Caroline muttered. She looked to the ground and bit her lip. But Billy was buying none of it.

"Something's the matter, ain't it?" He asked, taking his mother's hand in his. She nodded. "Do you want to talk about it?" She shook her head.

And just as silence fell again, a scream and cry came from the garden. Billy and his mother instantly looked towards the place the sound was coming from and they saw Penny curled up in a ball, clutching her knee.

Billy rushed from his seat and dropped down next to his daughter. "What's the matter, poppet?" He asked.

Penny sat up a little, tears streaming down her face. "I got an ouchie! It hurts!" She wailed, pointing to her knee.

Billy took a look at Penny's knee and grimaced. Out of it poured blood, oozing out, running down her leg like a snake. He could see why it would hurt so much for a kid her age.

"Do you want me to help you get cleaned up?" Billy asked and she nodded her head. "Let's go inside, then."

Like a ragdoll, he picked her up, by balancing her between his arms and hip. And he entered the house, Caroline following closely behind.

Billy, do you have a new girlfriend?

No, I do not, and I don't think I will for a long time. -Billy

Sienna, do you miss my baby and will you ever see Billy again?

I have mixed feelings on my daughter. Will I ever see Billy again? I doubt it, but we'll have to see. -Sienna.

Victoria, do you feel bad about what happened to Billy and were you sad and upset when Billy said he never wanted to see you again? Also, did Billy rape you?

I have no regrets of what happened to Billy, I just wish that I could've done more to make him pay. I was more angry than upset when Billy told me to get lost, he had no right. Did Billy rape me? You don't even know the half.
