Chapter Two - Oh God!
Stacey Slater was sat in her room trying to feed her baby daughter. Lily Slater was refusing to feed, again. Stacey could not understand what was wrong with her; she had been like this for the past few weeks. She had taken her to the doctor and he had given her some mild antibiotics. But still her daughter continued to refuse food and was half the size of an average baby her age.
Stacey eventually gave up and decided get Lily changed instead. She slowly selected a pink baby grow and began to change her daughter. That was when she saw it.
Lily had a line if bruises up the left side of her back. Stacey began to panic. How had she got these? She had always tried to be gentle. She quickly lay Lily down and ran to the phone. She dialed the number for the surgery and booked an emergency appointment. Something was definitely wrong.
She slowly began to make her way back to her room when Lily started to cry. She was crying louder than Stacey had ever heard her cry before. She quickly ran to her room and picked up Lily.
She was burning hot and Stacey knew something was seriously wrong. She started to scream, "Oh god, oh god, oh god. Mum, call an ambulance, quick. It's Lily".
