1 week later

Rachel sighed when she heard Grace screaming for her again after she had literally just got her off to sleep it was 2am and Rachel was absolutely knackered she had already been up 4 times in the night while everyone else in the house slept soundly.

Rachel was loving being a mum despite how tired it made her feel she felt like it was something she was born to do, quietly she crept into Grace's nursery and scooped the beautiful little girl up in her arms and tried to soothe her however nothing seemed to be working she tried feeding her however Grace wasn't hungry, she checked to see if she needed a fresh nappy on but the one she was wearing was still dry so all she could do was try and rock her back to sleep.

A few minutes later Hayley appeared, Rachel wondered what she was doing up so late.

"Hey love sorry did we wake you" Rachel asked sleepily

"No I woke up an hour or so ago and I haven't been able to get back to sleep since" Hayley explained

"Something on your mind?" Rachel asked tentatively

"Not really it's just …nothing it doesn't matter"

"Yes it does come on spill"

"It's well…it's not about me I don't want her to be angry at me"

"Who?"

"Jess"

"Oh whatever she's done just ignore her she's been extremely stroppy these last few days I know and I don't know why either maybe its just wrong time of the month or something anyway whatever it is she'll get over it"

"I don't think it is just that she's being stroppy" Hayley said as Rachel put a now sleeping Grace back in her Moses basket.

"do you know something that I don't love"Rachel asked

"Yeah I suppose so"

"Right lets pop into your room we'll talk about it in there" Rachel suggested the two of them then went into Hayleys room and sat down on her bed.

"Yesterday I went to go to the toilet and she was in there in floods of tears and she screamed at me"

"What did she say" Rachel asked worried

"I don't think you'd like me to repeat it" Hayley said "she was leaned against the bath and she just wouldn't stop crying so I left her to it I was going to go and get you but I thought she'd be annoyed at me and then later at night she was crying as well I don't think she slept much" Hayley explained Rachel was very shocked and worried after hearing all this however she knew she would have to get to the bottom of it somehow.

"Okay Hayley thanks for telling me you've done the right thing I'll have a talk with her tomorrow don't worry I won't tell her you said anything now why don't you get some sleep" Rachel said tucking Hayley into bed before kissing her goodnight then going back to bed her self
