The next few days were painful; Anthony got out of hosptial three days after all the comotion; Alfie went back to school painfully; Tyler starting plotting revenge on Michael; Eddie took three days off to help Georgie tend to his 2nd eldest son.
"Just stay still you fidget bum!" Georgie laughted, placing a slip of gouse over Anthony's split eyebrow. Anthony kept shifting at the pain surrounding his eye.
"It hurts George. Please babe just stop!" Anthony wined, batting Georgie insistant hand away.
"No, your going to end up with a split eyebrow if you aint lucky!" Georgie smiled, quickly putting the slip on his eyebrow so Anthony couldnt complain.
"You're evil! But I guess I love you" Anthony pulled Georgie's hand, making her fall ontop of him. Her head laying on his chest, still laughing.
"Of course you should love me" Georgie smiled, her fingers intertwined with Anthony's.
The pair looked at eachother, sharing weak glances.
"Thanks for appearing when I needed you" Anthony caresed Georgie's still very curles.
Georgie looked at him. "I was at your side in the ambulance like I promised"
"I knew you'd stay with me" Anthony felt his voice go into a whisper.
"Morning Fif" Eddie said, looking up from his newspaper as Alfie walked into the kitchen.
Alfie was in a state. Her short brown curles had flown as if she'd had an electric shock, her eyelids still black, she had a big purple bruise on her left cheek and her bandages still wrapped around her hands but bloody.
"Morning Pa" Alfie sat down with a groan beside her father at the table before pouring herself a cup of milk.
"You know you wanted to ask me something last night?"
Alfie nodded weakly.
"What was it?"
"Honestly Dad, I dont remember right now" Alfie groaned.
"G?" Anthony grasped her hand as she was standing up.
"Baby?"
"I love you"
Georgie smiled and sat down at Anthony's feet.
"I love you too"
