Hannah looked around the room she had woken up in. It was warm and smelled of Jack. It was quiet and peaceful. Then she heard Lydia giggle and jumped out of bed, being where she was and hearing that laugh was wrong. Then last night's events replayed in her mind.

Walking in to the dinning room Hannah found Grace asleep in her pram whilst Lydia and Jack were colouring pictures at the table. Their backs to the door where Hannah stood. She watched them for a while, talking, laughing and joking. It was like they had known each other for years not hours..
The kitchen was trashed plates everywhere they must be from today though, Hannah had washed them and made coffee by the time Jack walked in. She had her back to the door he snook in behind her catching her from behind as he moved her hair and laying gentle kisses on her kneck. They stood just being close for a while before a chair moved behind them and Lydia asked Jack what was for tea. He smiled kissed Hannahs hair and turned round asking her what she wanted to have.
Pizza was ordered Grace fed and everyone bathed. Whilst they waited Lydia asked if Jack was her new Daddy now explaining to both of them that it was ok! she liked Jack and her real Daddy made gramps go away so he obviously didn't love her did he.? Hannah looked at Jack who in turn looked at her. "Why don't we discuss this tomorrow" is all Hannah could say just as the door bell rang.
Jack opened the door expecting the food to have arrived, instead Nikki stood with Matthews and Morgan. A smile on her face said there was a development but Jack knew she was hiding something. As they shut the door the pizza arrived. "Never a dull moment" thought Jack as he followed everyone upstairs.
Things had moved fast in the case. Morgan and Matthews wanted Nikki there to sit with the girls whilst they told Hannah what had happened.
There had been a body found on the common by a dog walker. It looked like the man had been mugged but on further investigation the man's wallet was still there, it was Simon. Hannah was silent and then she put her hand on her head her body shook, Jack reached out but when Hannah looked at him she was laughing! "Why are you laughing mummy?" Lydia asked Nikki walking in and turning her round back out of the room. "I can't believe it. I'm free from him. I can relax knowing he's in Hell, where he belongs. My Dad must have given as good as he got?" She looked hopeful at Matthews and Morgan.
According to Nikki Hannahs dad had died of an heart attack. The only sign of a physical attack was grip marks on his upper arms "we think that Simon grabbed your dad and tried to get your location out of him. Simon was struck on the back of his head with a large object which tests have shown to be a large candle in a jar" Hannah laughed "Simon hated them!" She apologised and looked at Nikki. It was over the crime was solved it had been 48 hrs. Morgan and Matthews gave Hannah a card and told her they would be in touch when her house would be ready. She shuddered beneath Jacks hand and looked at him. "I can't go back there I need to find somewhere else to live. I need to ring my landlord. It will need cleaning." Both Nikki and Jack went to speak at the same time. "Your house will be cleaned and tidy before you go back. There won't be any trace of what happened... things have been taken for evidence so they will be missing we'll do our best!" Jack said quietly.
Hannah shook "I just can't get the image out of my head him lying there and the girls in the back of the cupboard! I can't go back and live there. My landlord is good, he will have somewhere we can go. There's no need to worry Jack I wasn't suggesting we move in with you " her voice was angry and she stood up and went to the spare room where the girls were in bed. She sat on the floor and cried.

"Jack.." Nikki said he knew there was something she wasn't saying "do you know whether Hannah knew her Dad wasn't her biological father?"

Hannah stepped into the room tears staining her face.. "Yes I knew!"
