When Will parked the car in front of his house, Maisy was super excited to go in. JJ unbuckled her and helped her out. The girl walked next to the woman keeping a tight grip on her hand

"So... Maisy, do you remember that office we have?" JJ asked.

"The one with the big desk?" Maisy asked.

"Yeah" JJ smiled. "Well, that's your bedroom now"

Maisy's eyes widened. "I get my own?"

"Of course you do"

"The desk is mine now? But Will likes it so much" the girl said making JJ and Will laugh.

"No honey. We made you a special new bedroom in there" Will said and Maisy smiled.
They walked inside and Henry ran to the little girl.

"Daddy said you're gonna live here" Henry smiled excited. "You're my sister now!" He said and everyone in that room smiled.
"You need to see your bedroom! You're gonna love it!" Henry told Maisy. Then he turned to JJ and said "let's show her mom!". He was so excited, he always wanted a sibling.

"Lead the way" JJ told him.

The boy grabbed Maisy's hand and they went to the bedroom which was next doors from Henry's. Maisy smiled when she saw her name written on the door in pink sparkly letters. Henry opened the door and the girl was speechless. It was more beautiful than anything she'd ever seen in her entire life. The room was pink, white and grey, it had some clouds in on wall, a comfy bed in one corner, a play kitchen, a fuzzy rug, a little table, a little doll bed next to her bed, and many other cool things. It was perfect.

"Did you like it?" Will asked hopeful.

"I love it" Maisy said turning and hugging JJ. Everyone smiled.

"Let's go see your toys" JJ smiled and took Maisy to her new bed. Jennifer showed the room around and Maisy was all smiles. JJ left Maisy and Henry playing with Penelope while she unpacked the girl's clothes and toys. After settling in, JJ left the kids in the bedroom and went to find Will. He was in the kitchen finishing lunch. She hugged him from behind and her eyes filled with tears. Will turned around and wrapped his arms around her.

"Did you see her face?" JJ asked with a smile.

"Yes" Will smiled. Jennifer started crying. "We've got our girl. Everything will be okay" he told her.

"I just want her to be happy and safe" JJ said.

"We'll make sure of that" Will said.

Later that day they had lunch and then Penelope left. After lunch the kids sat to watch cartoons and JJ and Will smiled watching Henry let Maisy chose one.

"He's amazing with her" Will said.

"The best big brother ever" JJ smiled.

They spent the night watching cartoons and playing in the living room. The time flew by and soon they had dinner. After dinner JJ told them to go have some quiet time in their rooms while they did the dishes so the kids went to Henry's bedroom and started playing "candyland". Soon JJ went to tell them it was time to get ready for bed. Jennifer couldn't help but notice how Maisy instantly tensed up. JJ handed out her hand and Maisy took it and followed her to her bedroom looking scared. JJ picked out some pajamas and took Maisy to the bathroom. Once JJ closed the door Maisy threw herself in JJ's arms. She trusted JJ but she still felt scared someone would go and hurt her there. JJ picked her up and said "you're safe princess. I'm gonna stay right here. No one will hurt you". She put Maisy down and undressed her as the child's eyes filled with more tears. JJ made Maisy go in the shower and the little girl just cried. She didn't fight JJ off but she cried. Jennifer tried to make the shower as quick as possible and soon she wrapped Maisy in a towel.

"All done, pretty girl" JJ smiled as she dried Maisy. She helped her get dressed and put a pull-up on the girl just to make sure there wouldn't be any accidents that night. She brushed Maisy's hair and then the girl brushed her teeth.

"Let's go say goodnight to everyone?" JJ asked and Maisy nodded looking a bit sad. JJ picked her up and carried her to the living room.

"Goodnight Will" Maisy said really low.

Will knew everything about the bath and shower situation so he understood why she was upset. "Goodnight Maisy" he smiled and walked to them. He kissed the girl's forehead and JJ noticed her tensing up again. Jennifer carried Maisy to bed and tucked her in.

"Have a nice night, monkey" JJ smiled and kissed Maisy's forehead. She was about to walk out when Maisy called for her. JJ walked back to the bed and asked what was wrong. Maisy was scared to say.

"Tell me what's wrong. It's okay. I won't be mad" JJ said.

"I'm scared to sleep here alone" Maisy said and looked down. "I love my room but I'm scared" she said with tears in her eyes.

"How about if I stay here with you tonight?" JJ asked with a soft smile. "Do you think we can fit on that bed?"

"Yeah" Maisy said sounding relieved.

"Then I'll be right back" JJ said. She went and told Will, then quickly got ready for bed and laid down next to Maisy. She read the girl a story and when she finished she noticed the small child was fast asleep. She gave Maisy a soft kiss and closed her eyes keeping her arms around the girl. Soon she was asleep.
About 20 minutes later, Will went to check on them and smiled when he found JJ and Maisy both sleeping. He walked in and put the book in the bookshelf, pulled the covers up and turned the light off. He left the room smiling so happy about how everything went.

Maisy had a good night and was super happy on Saturday morning. She played with Henry after breakfast and around 11 they went to the mall. Things went amazing that day. Maisy was so happy to finally have a good family that loved her and Will and JJ were all smiles at how great things were.
That night Maisy decided she wanted to try to sleep in her bedroom alone so JJ helped her shower and then tucked her in.

"Anything just go get me" JJ told her.

Maisy hugged Buzz and soon fell asleep. She slept okay for about 2 hours and suddenly she woke up from a nightmare. She found herself in the dark room and tears started running down her cheeks. She remembered what JJ said but she felt so scared. She tried to sleep again but just couldn't stop crying so she got out of bed and walked to JJ's door holding a tight grip on Buzz. She stood in front of the door unsure if she should go in or not. Suddenly something came in her mind and she just froze.

****Flashback- Maisy's POV****
I woke up and the room was very dark. Dad had hurt me that night and whenever that happened I had nightmares so that day wasn't different. I woke and I was shaking. I felt like I wanted mom to hold me, I needed her to hold me like she used to do so I got out of bed and went to her bedroom. I stood in front of the door unsure if I should go in or not. I decided I had to but when I was about to open the door my dad stormed out and I fell on my bum. He turned and when he saw I was there I knew I was in trouble.
"What the hell do you think you're doing here so late?!" He said grabbing my arm and basically dragging me back to my room. I didn't answer because I was scared he would hurt me like he had done earlier so I just stayed quiet. He took me to my room and threw me on the bed. I hit my shoulder hard on it and I couldn't help but cry. That made him so mad. He walked to the room next to mine and I thought that was it, I can go just go to sleep now but I was wrong. He walked back in with some sort of a charger in hands. "Turn" he said. "No please" I cried scared. "Maisy NOW" he yelled. I was too scared to move so he just turned me, pulled my pants down and started hitting me hard with that cable. It hurt so bad, I screamed and cried. Once he was done her pulled my pants back up and that hurt even more. "Do not get out of this bed until I come get you in the morning" dad said. "Do you understand?" He asked and I nodded. He left the room and I crawled higher on the bed and hugged my knees.
****End flashback****

Maisy cried so bad when she remembered that. She just felt she shouldn't go in. So she turned around and saw Henry walking to her.

"Maisy?" He said.
The small girl looked up at him and Henry saw she was crying.
"What's wrong? Did you have a bad dream?" He asked.

"Yes" Maisy cried. "I want Jennifer"

"You can go in" Henry told her but she took a step back scared. "I'll go with you" he said and grabbed her hand. The boy opened the door and they walked to JJ's side of the bed.
"Mommy" Henry said slightly shaking his mother. JJ woke up and sat surprised to see both kids there. "Maisy had a bad dream" Henry explained.

"Come here" JJ said and wrapped the girl in a hug. "Let's go back to bed" JJ said and carried Maisy back to her bedroom.

"Do you want to stay here too Henry?" JJ asked as she laid down next to Maisy on the small bed.

"No mom, it's okay" Henry said.

"Come here give me a kiss" JJ said and the boy did just that. "If you need anything just come get me" she said.

"Okay" Henry said. "Goodnight" he said and went back to his room.

JJ saw Maisy was still crying so she hugged her tight and said soothing words in her ear. Soon the little one drifted to sleep and Jennifer stayed there the rest of the night.

The next day, Sunday, JJ woke up and sat to talk to Will about what had happened at night. Both agreed there would be hard days but with them by her side Maisy would be okay and the nightmares would go away eventually.
Once the kids woke up they had breakfast and played some games. Around 11, JJ got a call from Emily inviting her to meet her and Penelope at the mall to take the little ones out for lunch. JJ agreed and told the kids to get ready because they would go out. She talked to Will and he told her that he would stay home finishing some work he had to do. So JJ got ready and went to check on the kids. She walked in Henry's bedroom and he was getting his shoes on.

"Nice choice, buddy" JJ smiled when she saw what he was wearing. He had Jeans, a Captain America tshirt and black chucks. Henry smiled and followed JJ to Maisy's room. They found the girl only wearing a white tshirt and underwear, struggling to get her clothes from the closet.

"Oh baby. I'll get it for you" JJ smiled and Maisy moved out of the way. "Which one?" JJ asked.

"Pink" Maisy said pointing to it.

JJ got the pastel pink overalls and handed them to Maisy. She put it on and JJ did her hair.

"Go get your shoes on" JJ said with a smile. Maisy looked adorable. The small girl got a pair of converse exactly like Henry's.

"We're matching" Henry said and everyone smiled.

"Everybody done?" JJ asked and the kids said "yup" in unison. "So let's go" she smiled and they went out. They said goodbye to Will and went to the car.
On the drive to the mall, Henry asked where they were going.

"We're going to the mall with Penelope and Emily" JJ said.

"Emi?!" Maisy said excited.

"You miss her, huh?" JJ said.

"Yeah" Maisy said with a smile super excited to see her favorite aunt again.

At the mall, JJ walked to the food court with both kids holding her hands. When Maisy spotted Emily she ran to her.

"Emi" she said and threw herself on the woman. Emily picked her up and hugged her tight.

"How is my favorite girl?" Emily asked.

"Good" Maisy smiled.

"I heard you have this super cool room. I wanna know all about it" Prentiss said as everyone walked to a table. She put Maisy down and the girl went on and on about her room and being at JJ's house. Everyone could see she was really happy about it.
They ate and talked and then walked around the mall. They headed home around 4 and agreed to do that again some other time.
The rest of the day Maisy and Henry played and watched movies. JJ and Will hung out in the living room and just loved seeing both kids so happy. For dinner they ordered Chinese and Maisy loved the fortune cookies.
That night when Maisy went to get ready for bed things went better. She didn't fight to get in the shower and only cried a little bit. Once the shower was done JJ wrapped the child in a towel and took her to the bedroom. She helped Maisy get dressed and brushed her hair.

"All done" JJ smiled and Maisy looked up. JJ could see the girl was still scared about it but she was so proud of how brave she was.
"I am so proud of you, Maisy" Jennifer said and Maisy hugged her. "You are so so sooo brave"

"No I'm not. I cried" Maisy said letting go of the hug and looking down.

JJ lifted the girl's chin and said "you are the bravest little girl I know. And crying doesn't mean you're not brave" she said. "Everyone cries. And being brave means you were scared but you did it anyways."

"It does?" Maisy asked.

"Yes" JJ smiled. "You are super duper brave" she said and picked the small girl up. She put Maisy on the bed and got a book to read. The girl soon drifted to sleep and JJ went back to tuck Henry in. She read him a story and went to the living room to spend some time with Will.

"Is she okay?" Will asked.

"Yeah. She's asleep already" JJ said.

"How was the shower?" He asked.

"It was better" JJ said relieved. Will smiled and Jennifer rested on him.

"It will be okay. She's a tough girl" Will said.

"Yeah" JJ agreed.

****Nightmare - Maisy's POV****
I was in my room, my old room, in the old old house. All that was in there was a bed in the corner. I was curled up in another corner on the floor, trying to go to sleep. Suddenly, my door flew open and in came my dad. He shut the door and took off his belt. That meant I was in trouble. He walked over to me, towering over me. "Hands," he simply said. I was in so much trouble. I held out my shaking hands with my palms up, and he hit them with his belt. "Bad girl," he said after every slash. I don't know what I did wrong this time. A lot of times, I don't know. He dropped the belt and I pulled my bleeding hands in close to my chest. "Come" he said, I knew I had to do what he says but I couldn't, I was too scared. He scooped me up and set me on the bed in the other corner. My knees were still up too my chest when he set me down. "Come on, now," he said as he pushed my legs down. I just laid on the bed, stiff. He took my dress off, leaving me in my underwear. He ran his hand on my chest. "Please, no" I begged as hot tears trickled down my face. "Shhhh," he said calmly as he slipped my underwear off. "no," I cried out as he forced my legs apart. I whimpered as his hand went under my underwear. Then I screamed.
****End of nightmare****

JJ and Will woke up to a blood curdling scream at 3:32AM. The scream wasn't a regular nightmare scream. The scream was as if someone was dying.
JJ flew out of bed and down the hall to Maisy's room. When she got there she saw the small child lying there, belting out that horrible scream while cupping her hands over her private. JJ ran to her, sitting beside her and started to gently shake her.

"Maisy!" JJ yelled over the child's screams, but nothing happened. JJ tried shaking a little harder, but it just made it worse, Maisy started to push her away.
Will ran to the bathroom and filled a big plastic cup that was sitting on the side of the tub with water. He ran to the room and handed it to JJ. She poured the water onto the top of Maisy's head, trying to stay away from her mouth and nose so she wouldn't inhale it.

The girl's eyes popped open and she went silent as big fat tears rolled down her cheeks. She looked around scared and noticed Jennifer, and instead of screaming, she cried. Maisy sat up and her hands were still over her private.

"Shhh, it's okay, shhh," JJ said as she reached for her arms, but Maisy flinched back at her touch. "It's me JJ. It was just a bad dream," JJ calmly explained.

Maisy frantically shook her head.
"It wasn't just a dream," Maisy whispered between sniffles.

JJ looked at Will, who was standing at the door with tears in his eyes. Will copied Maisy's heavy breathing and JJ turned to the girl and noticed. The child breathing was really un-even.

"Try to breath like me. Follow me, baby. In and out" JJ said taking Maisy's hand to her stomach and continued with a steady pace. Maisy's breathing slowly went back to normal with just a few hiccups every once in a while.

"What happened?" JJ asked when she saw her child seemed calmer. Maisy shook her head. "Come on, baby, talk to me. What happened?" JJ said and Maisy looked down at her hands over her private, then back up at JJ.

"I can't tell you," she whispered.

"He hurt you there?" JJ asked. Maisy's tears just fell. JJ hugged her tighter and suddenly the girl started sobbing.
"He can't hurt you anymore, Maisy. Never again" JJ said.

Will walked to the bed and sat next to them. Maisy looked up and when she saw him she hid on JJ's chest.
"It's okay, it's just Will" JJ told her.

"Maisy" Will said but Maisy didn't look up. "We'll never let anyone hurt you"

Maisy looked up and said "what if they come for me?"

"They can't." JJ said.

"I promise I will never let anybody hurt you. You're my little girl. Our little girl. We'll never ever hurt you and we'll protect you, always. You're safe here with us." Will said and held the girl's hand.

They stayed in silence for a while just holding the girl. Then JJ said "let's go to bed." and carried Maisy to their bedroom. Suddenly Will saw Henry sitting in bed looking scared so he went there.

"Is she okay?" Henry asked worried.

"Come here buddy" Will said. "Come stay with us" he said and they went and laid down next to the girls. Will and JJ let the kids lay in the middle of the bed and hugged them tight.

"You're safe. Both of you" Will said.

Soon they fell asleep.
