Chapter eight.

"Do you want to come with me today?" Lara asked Sadie

Sadie nodded her head, her little ponytails bouncing around "Can we go to the animals?" she asked

"You don't have to take her there Lara, it's too expensive" Heidi said to Lara concerned over the costs

"It's fine Heidi" Lara said smiling

"Are you sure?" Heidi asked concerned

"Yes" Lara said before she took Sadie into her arms

"Can Uncle Chase come too, please?" Sadie begged

"Uhh.." Lara hesitated "Will have to see if Chase is feeling okay" she told Sadie before she turned to the others "He went out last night, didn't get home till about three, he got totally plastered. Dean was texting me" They all laughing knowing what Chase was like when he drank too much

"I don't want you to beg Chase Sadie." Heidi told her daughter sternly

"But -." Sadie said upset as she began to speak but was cut off by her mother

"Sadie. If his sick, he can't come out" Heidi said sternly

"Okay." Sadie said lowering her head in disappointment

"She really loves Chase, hey?" Vince stated

"Yeah, she adores him." Jordan said

"She gets really upset if we don't see him" Heidi said laughing

Jordan handed his spare keys over to Lara "Here take these, get Sadie changed, there should be a little bag in her room. It has all spare essentials in it" Jordan told Lara

"Alright, will do" Lara smiled before she handed Sadie over to Jordan

"You be good for Aunty Lara today" Jordan told Sadie before he gave her a big kiss and hug "Love you" he told her before he handed her to Heidi

"Love you Daddy" Sadie said smiling before she hugged Heidi

"Make sure that you tell me all about it when you get back" Heidi said to Sadie as she sat her in her lap

"Okay, love you Mummy" Sadie said before she jumped of the bed and ran over to Lara.

At Dean's house

Chase had been awake for an hour now and was paying the price for drinking so much. Lachie was sitting next to Chase while they sat watching television. Dean had gone out to do some grocery shopping, so it was just the two of them. Chase went and had a shower and got changed into some fresh clothing.

"Feel better?" Lachie asked as Chase walked into the kitchen

Chase nodded his head "Yeah, bit better" he pulled out two tablets from the medicine box and took them. Shortly after, they heard a knock from the front door. Lachie went and opened it up to be greeted by Lara and Sadie

"Hey" Lachie said smiling

"Hey" Lara said walking in. She placed Sadie on the ground who went running over to Chase, tugging at his board – shorts to be picked up.

"Hey big girl" Chase said as he held Sadie

"Are you feeling better?" Sadie asked cutely. Chase smiled and looked at Lachie and Lara who were also smiling

"Yeah, a bit" Chase said walking over to the couch and placing her next to him

"Can you come to the Zoo?" Sadie shouted making Chase put his hand on his head from the loud noise hurting his head

"Sadie, what did Mum say?" Lara asked Sadie raising her eyebrow. Sadie dropped her head in disappointment again

"Maybe another time Sade?" Chase asked smiling

"Sade, let's go" Sadie's eyes filled up with tears as she looked up at Chase. Chase knew that he couldn't say no to her now.

"Alright" Chase said picking Sadie up

"Yay!" Sadie shouted happily

"Chase, are you sure you're okay?" Lara asked concerned noticing how pale he looked

"Yeah, I'll be fine." Chase said before he went and grabbed a packet of panadol and aspirin to take with him

"Uh. Hold up" Lachie said stopping him he took the aspirin packet out of his hand and kept one in its packaging before putting the rest back into the medicine box "You don't need a whole pack Chase. If you do, then you shouldn't be going" Lachie said concerned

"I'll be fine Lachie. I'll see you later" Chase said rolling his eyes before he walked out the door carrying Sadie and Lara following closely behind him.

They arrived twenty minutes after, Lara unbuckled Sadie from her chair and she walked in between the two, holding each other their hands. They arrived at the front gate and Chase pulled out his wallet, paying for Lara and himself. Luckily Sadie could get in for free.

"You don't need to pay for me Chase" Lara said trying to stop him

"It's fine Lara" Chase said handing over the money "Plus, you'll probably be my sister in law soon enough" he added smirking

"! Very funny Chase" Lara said slapping his arm which made Sadie laugh. "You think that was funny?" Lara asked Sadie laughing as they walked through the entry. She slapped Chase again and Sadie started laughing uncontrollably again.

Chase picked Sadie up and held her in front of him "You do think that was funny hey?" Chase asked Sadie. She nodded her head still laughing; he swung her around and placed her on his hip as they walked through the park

"You've really got a special spot for her don't you?" Lara asked admiring the way he was around her

"Yeah" Chase said smiling, he knew that she was going to bring Kelsie up but he was trying to avoid it

"She really loves you too. It's quite cute the little bond you guys have" Lara said smiling

"Can we not bring up Kelsie?" Chase asked stopping and turning to face Lara

'Yeah…Okay. But I'm here if you still want to talk about it" Lara told Chase. They began walking again

"Cat! Cat!" Sadie said excitedly pointing towards the tiger enclosure

"Tiger" Chase said correcting her

"Tiger" Sadie said smiling excitedly. Chase placed Sadie in front of him and Lara as they watched the tigers

"I thought I'd gotten over it" Chase stated sadly

Lara could hear the sadness inside Chase's voice "I know, it can feel that way for ages Chase"

"Holding Blake just made everything come back and I felt as if everything was crashing around me again. I don't get that with Sadie" Chase said trying to understand why he only felt it with Blake

"It's because Blake is only just born and Kelsie was pregnant. Sadie's nearly four Chase, so you don't see it with her" Lara tried to explain to Chase

"I feel so awful though" Chase said

"Why?" Lara asked concerned

"I totally freaked out in there" Chase admitted

"It's okay, we all understand why you did and no one is going to hold that against you" Lara said as Sadie gestured to be picked up. She picked her up and they walked onto the next exhibit.

"How come now that I look around everyone has these perfect relationships and I feel like I'm the only one who doesn't" Chase said sadly as he looked around

"No one's relationships are perfect" Lara said patting his back

"mmm" Chase said. "Let's not ruin the day for Sadie" Chase said making himself seem all happy again.

Review please!
