Steven awoke as he heard the sound of birds chirping outside of the window. Though the sun was not out, it was just a grey sky. The sun was trying to peep out, as he could see it behind a fluffy white cloud, which looked like a giant piece of candy floss. Steven's heart was pounding out of his chest when he remembered his children Leah and Lucas and the fact he doesn't know where they are now since his accident. Luckily Leanne Holiday had the heart to look after them while Steven was in hospital. Brendan almost forgot as well, as all he could think of was the fact Steven was fighting for his life though he knew Leanne was looking after them, she won't be very happy about the fact it has been two days of her looking after them.

"The kids Brendan, where are they?" Steven asked him, with panic in his tired voice.

"It's okay Steven, Leanne is looking after them" Brendan reassured him.

Steven breathed in relief, as he rose from the bed. You would think he left the children alone at home the way he was going on. Though to be fair, Leah and Lucas would quite enjoy that for two days. Being home alone, watching television for as long as they want, and eating chocolate for every meal. Bedtime would be any-time They rather that, then getting looked after by Leanne who was in one word, unfit. She was unfit to look after children; she didn't really like children much. So the two days has been torture for her. With Texas and Will not being much help, leaving the house. Texas didn't want to look after the children either because she ran over their father and left him for dead. They could have been left fatherless due to her serious lack of judgement.

"You also need to thank Jim when you see him" Brendan insisted.

"Why?" Steven asked, pulling his pants up.

"He saved your life" Brendan told him.

Jim did save his life, he was the one who brought him back to life by pushing up and down on his chest, calling for somebody to phone the ambulance, carrying him on the stretcher and phoning Brendan to alert him of what happened. Jim was like a weaker version of Super Man that day. Minus the tights, no he was more like Super Man meets Mr Bean.

"Did he?" Steven asked, a little surprised that the local lawyer could do something like that. Jim did not look the type, nor did he act like the type half the time.

"Yeah, so don't go dumping me for him" Brendan teased.

Steven smiled, playing along.

"Oh I don't know Brendan, you might have some competition" Steven teased back.

Brendan playfully pushed Steven on the ground.

"I'm joking! I'm joking!" Steven yells, while laughing like a hyena on helium. Brendan covered his mouth with his hand.

"Be quite Steven, you wake the neighbours" Brendan speaks, he could still hear Steven laughing hysterically, Steven's laughter was muffled, but Brendan could still tell he was laughing.

Brendan let go, Steven pulled himself up from the carpet. As he was grinning, they only been up ten minutes but have already thought they lost his children, Brendan got another 'love rival' and they had a play fight and that's what they would consider a relaxing day if you compare it to their other days.

"I'm already exhausted and I just woken up" Brendan breathlessly told him, as he sat on the bed.

"Aw, you sure you can keep up with me?" Steven asked, Brendan was ten years older after all. With Steven being twenty-three and Brendan thirty-three.

"Don't worry Steven; I can keep up with you" Brendan insisted.

"The kids Brendan, come on" Steven commanded, as he opened the bed room door to find Seamus Brady coming out the bathroom in his vest and pants. Seamus walked past him, walking into his own bedroom.

"Come on Brendan" Steven breathed, as he walked down the stairs. Putting on his shoes before hand, along with Brendan. Who has lost a bit of his happy exterior, his father walked past them yet to Brendan that scared him half to the death.

Brendan followed behind him, as he walked. Cheryl Brady was relaxing in the living room, while eating some jam on toast. She was happily watching Jeremy Kyle, with her legs on the sofa.

"Hi" Cheryl said cheerfully, when she seen them both walking near the door.

"Hi Cheryl, were just going to get the kids" Steven told her, Brendan went silent all of a sudden. That did make Steven worry that his father might have done more than just beat him up, though he never imagined it be that sort of abuse. He just presumed it was emotional abuse as well.

"Okay" Cheryl smiled, before he opened the door.
