I've had a negative review about this fic saying that bad things only ever happen in it! The only reason I do that is because it makes it more exciting. So if you don't like it stop reading it and don't review. Thanks :)
Saturday morning came and Beth woke up early, Rachel had called the clinic the night before and Beth was having her abortion today. Beth got up and went downstairs, she checked the clock and it was only 7:30. She made herself a cup of tea and stood in the living room looking out the window. Rachel woke up a couple of hours later and went downstairs to get a glass of water when she saw Beth staring out the window. She walked in and put her hands on Beth's shoulders making her jump.
Rachel: Sorry, didn't mean to frighten you.
Rachel picked up Beth's cup of tea to take through to the kitchen, it was freezing cold. Rachel then realised Beth must have been awake for ages.
Rachel: Beth how long have you been up?
Beth: Since 7:30... I didn't sleep very well.
Rachel looked at Beth and saw a tear fall down her cheek.
Rachel: Come here.
Rachel stood with her arms open and Beth walked over and hugged her.
Rachel: How are you feeling about today hmm?
Beth: I don't know, I'm quite scared Rach.
Rachel: Ohh I know honey, but I'm gonna be here for you through the whole thing okay?
Beth: Yea... thanks aunt Rach.
It was now 1:00 and they were both up and dressed. There was a knock at the door and Rachel thought it was probably Kate forgotten her keys again. Rachel opened the door and Kate came stumbling in still drunk from the night before.
Rachel: Bloody hell Kate... get inside!
Kate: Mum, chill... hey cus!
Rachel: Eddie, will you please sort this one out, we've got to go.
Eddie: Yea no problem.
Rachel and Beth left and were on their way to the clinic. When they arrived Rachel went to tell reception they were there and they sat in the waiting room. Rachel could see Beth was really nervous as she was biting her nails. Rachel took her hand and gave her a reassuring look. The doctor called Beth's name and she looked at Rachel with fear in her eyes.
Rachel: its okay I'll stay with you.
Back at the house Eddie had gotten Kate into bed and was downstairs making lunch. When he had made it, Kate had been sleeping for a few hours so he went up to her room. He walked in and noticed she was awake.
Kate: Dad I feel like shit.
Eddie: Well that's what happens when you drink till god knows what time.
Eddie handed her a glass of water and two pain killers.
Kate: Thanks.
Eddie: Kate you're gonna have to stop this.
Kate: Stop what? Having fun?
Eddie: Kate you don't need drink to have fun... and if you do then you certainly don't need as much as you've had, you're still drunk.
Kate: Go away, I'm not in the mood for a big father daughter chat, I feel crap... just go away please, and put off the light.
Eddie gave her a kiss on the forehead and left her room.
Later Rachel and Beth returned. Beth went upstairs to the room she was in the night before as she was feeling very bad.
Eddie: How is she?
Rachel: Very sore I think. I'm gonna get her a hot water bottle and some pain killers. How's madam?
Eddie: Hung-over, I gave her a small lecture but she said she was too ill to talk.
Rachel and Eddie both laughed a bit. Rachel went upstairs to Beth and gave her the pain killers and water bottle.
Beth: Thanks Rach.
Rachel: No problem dear. Do you want to watch a film? Just you and me?
Beth: Yea, mean girls please!
Rachel: Okay..
Beth cuddled up to Rachel and they watched the film.
Please review! :))
