Writers note: Yes I know the legal stuff is wrong but this story is all made up so I'm not up on all the legal mambo jumbo. But thanks for all the feed back I have two more stories lined up to do and Yes Lisa Anderson is the main character in all of them I just can't think of another name for her ;)

Over the next couple days lisa became more and more depressed since Maggie dropped the bombshell on lisa. Phil tried everything to cheer her up but nothing was helping. They were still in Charleston South Carolina they couldn't leave town because the custody trial was the end of the week. Since they had to stay behind Phil thought it would be best if they rented a house near the beach for the time they needed to be there.
Phil and natty were on the beach building sandcastles.
"Daddy where's mommy."
"She's still sleeping sweetheart."
"Is mommy sad."
Phil picked natty up and placed her on his lap.
"Yes baby mommy is very sad."
"I wish she was here with us I miss her."
He smoothed some hair from natty's face.
"Yeah baby I miss her to."
Phil was scared of what all this nonsense was doing to lisa. She was shutting down and shutting people out.
As the sun was starting to set phil has just put in a dvd for natty to watch while he made a couple phone calls one of them to his sister.
"Hello."
"Hey cha it's me."
"Hey bro how's things. How's lisa doing I heard what happened I still can't believe this."
"That's why I'm calling. Cha I'm worried about her. She hasn't been out of bed in days she won't eat I'm not sure if she's gotten any sleep."
"Oh honey I'm sorry. Is there anything I can do."
"Yes there is can you maybe come to Charleston. I just don't know what to do. She's shutting down and worst thing is she's shutting natty out and she's shutting me out to."
"Phil I'll be on the first flight out. Mom said she wants to come to."
"OH thanks sis. I think having you and mom here might help."
"Ok well we need to pack and get to the airport I'll call you when we land. And phil have faith things will work out. I love you."
"Love you to sis call me when you get here."
After phil hung up with Chaleen he felt a little bit better about his sister and mom coming there. He just hoped it would help.
As phil was downstairs with natty, lisa was lying in bed just staring out the window as the world drifted by.
All the things running threw her head made it hard to function she was so afraid of losing everything she held dear. Every time she tried to close her eyes she could see her child being ripped from her arms. She wanted to cry but she was all cried out.
She heard the door open.
"Baby. Are you a sleep." Phil said walking over to the bed to see lisa just staring out the window. It broke his heart to see her so crushed.
"Honey I know your sad and I wish I could take away your pain but I can't. I wish you would let me in let me take care of you. I love you I miss you and so does natty."
"Daddy." natty said in a small whisper.
"Come over here baby." He lifted natty up and placed her on the bed next to him. Lisa could hear her little girls soft voice and it was killing her to not hold her. She wanted to just take natty and hold her close.
"Lisa. Lisa look at me look at us were both still here. Natty is still here with us I wish you believe she's not going anywhere."
But lisa couldn't look she kept staring out the window. She could hear phil sigh then natty crawled over to her mother and placed her small hand on her cheek.
"Mommy I love you. I miss you." Natty said letter her hand linger. Lisa didn't respond.
"Come on honey let's let mommy get some rest." Phil got up and placed a soft kiss on lisa's cheek and whispered. I love you in her ear.
After lisa heard the door closed she closed her eyes and felt the tears fall. She wanted to get up and go to phil and take natty in her arms and hold her close but she just couldn't bring herself to do it.
