Hey everybody I'm on my trip right now and I brought my laptop with me and I got internet at where I'm from so I can still do my stories.
With Shelby and Rachel.
Shelby Corcoran wanted to talk to her oldest daughter about what's been happening to her for the couple of months! She didn't know what was going on with her daughter but she wanted to find out! She heard footsteps and saw her beautiful daughter smiling at her! Rachel sat down on the couch.
"Hey sweetie you look so pretty today!" Rachel smiles at her and they hug. Rachel pulls back and smiles.
"So I've been hearing that you went to a Health Center in Cleveland Ohio from Crista and Averilyn, what happened?" Rachel frowns sighing and looked at her birth mom.
"I have been dealing with child abuse from my aunt on my dad's side when I was at 4 up until I was 6 and it would have gotten worse but Crista saved me everytime! my aunt was a fighting drunk and when I was staying at her house with my sisters while my parents had to go out of town. She would be nice with me when she had guest over but when they left or if it was just us, she would yell at us and hit me only, I was scared to tell my parents because she said that if I did she would do really bad things to me and Averilyn!" Shelby stared at her daughter not believing she was hearing this.
"Cristinia and Leroy never stopped this?" Rachel looked down sadly hearing her parents name.
"There was a time when I was too scared to even tell my sisters this until Crista saw that one of the guys my aunt brought home was in my room trying to touch me and she knocked him out cold, I was crying for days when I left and she gave me dirty looks when our parents picked us up and I just kept it to myself."
"Rachel you should have said something!" She nods knowing that she should have said something sooner.
"I know I should have said something but I was scared that she might actually kill me if I did something but one day when my parents where having a party!"
Flashback.
6 year old Rachel Barbra Berry was hanging out with her sisters when she noticed that her aunty Valerie was at the party and she felt her body tighten seeing that guy that tried to hurt her in a way she wasn't ready for. "Rachel sweetie can you take your aunties coat and put it until the bedroom!" She heard her daddy call her.
She slowly walked over to her aunty and frowns when she saw the smirk on her face. "Thank you little angel, here you go!" She takes the coat and brings it to the bedroom and she felt somebody following her! She turns around and gasps seeing the guy that was going to hurt her before.
"Hey little girl don't you look pretty today, why don't you show me how pretty you would look with that dress off of you!" Rachel backed away from him and felt her body tightening just seeing this guy and felt his breathe on her neck as he held onto her and she screamed when she felt him pulling at her dress.
"Shut up little girl while I have fun!" She cried feeling him slap her. She screamed again and the guy is about to touch her again when he falls to the ground.
"DONT YOU EVER TOUCH HER AGAIN YOU FUCKING CREEP!" She sobs seeing one of her parents friends saved her and rushes out of the room and her eyes landed on her aunt who looked like she was about to kill her and she rushed over to her sister who held her tightly.
"Don't worry she won't hurt you anymore and I won't let her!" She nods and saw her mom staring at her worried and rushed over to her and she picked her up.
"Shh baby what's wrong?" She just sobbed and pointed to her aunt who looked nervous. Leroy stared at his sister and saw her glaring at his daughter.
"What did you do to my daughters?" She glared at her brother and rolled her eyes. She saw the guy she was sleeping with on the ground and stared at Rachel with such anger in her body and rushed over to her wanting to do something but Cristinia moved away with Rachel in her arms.
"Don't you dare put your hands on my kids, are you drunk Valerie!" She shook her head and glanced at Crista and Averilyn who looked scared aswell because Averilyn was 5 and she was the baby in the family. Leroy picked up his daughters and stood next to his wife/
"You little bitches you will pay for that, nobody stops me from hurting this little hobbit that needs to die!" Rachel gasps in fear and hide her face! Leroy called the cops before and they finally show up and drag Valerie out who was yelling at Rachel.
"Shh sweetie she's gone now!" She screams thinking about all the times and the party is now over and their doing their best to calm her down.
"Baby calm down, it's your mom and dad sweetie! Your safe now please stop crying!" She stops screaming and tells them everything.
End of flashback.
Shelby was in tears hearing that story! She held her daughters hands and just let the tears fall.
"I wish I could have been there Rachel I wish that never happened to you! I loved that you went to get help on the things you went through and are still going through and I'm so proud of you!" Rachel hugged her and wiped her own tears then pulled back.
"If I could of changed the past I wouldn't because it helped me get to where I am now! I'm still dealing with the aftermath of what happened but I'm getting better each day and I'm still having my therapy sessions and there helping me alot, I'm learning to talk out my feelings more and I'm doing music thdo erapy to getting my feeling of singing again back to the way it use to be!" Shelby smiles hearing that she was making great progress.
"That's great to hear that your making such great progress sweetie, I want to be in yourlife alot more and if you ever need to talk please call me!"
Rachel nods smilling at her and they talk more before Rachel goes to the Lima to meet her mother in law for a drink. Rachel walked into the lima Bean and saw Carole waiting for her and she walks over to her and they hug before she sits down.
"Hey I'm glad you could meet up with me since you got out of the Center!" Carole says staring at her son's wife worried about her health.
"I missed you Carole I know I haven't been the best daughter in law since me and Finn got married but I tell Finn everyday that I love him and that I'm making up for leaving just two days after we got back from our honeymoon!" Carole grabbed Rachel's hand.
"Rachel you don't need to make up for anything, you got the help you needed before anything got worse! I'm proud of you for knowing that it was time to take care of yourself before you cracked and even if you had a meltdown, you let Finn in and he called me everyday saying that he was proud of you!"
Rachel never knew this but she was happy to hear it from her mother in law but she still felt bad for leaving her kids and her husband.
"Thank you for believing in me, I really want to thank you for visiting me and keeping me under control when I needed it!" Carole smiles.
"I would do anything for you sweetie your the daughter I wish I had but I'm glad you changed our family and married my son because I love my grandkids but I also love you very much!" Rachel hugged her saying that she loves her too. They talk before they go to their homes.
Rachel walked into her house and saw Ashleigh crawling on the ground and she smiled at her baby girl and picked her up.
"Hey little princess are you crawling already?" She asked her little angel kissing her cheek. Finn walked out of the downstairs bathroom smiling.
"Hey baby how was vistiting my mom and your birth mom today?" She smiles at her husband and pecks his lips when he comes over.
"It was very helpful and I learned that you called your mom everyday telling her that you were proud of me! Thank you for being such a great husband!"
Finn nods kissing his daughters cheek then kisses his wife's lips again smiling. Rachel smiles at him and walks into the kitchen and saw her daughter doing homework with her best friends from school and she was glad her daughter was into getting to know girls from her school.
"Hey Victorie are you happy that I'm back!" Rachel asked taking a grape and puts it in her mouth. Ashleigh claps her hands squealing and Finn laughs.
"Yes I'm happy that your finally home mommy! I never wanted to to leave but I'm glad your back!" Victorie smiles.
They hear whining coming from Chistopher and Finn walks over to the playpen and picks up his little boy.
"Hey little man are you tired of being ignored?" He makes a noise and rests his head on his dads shoulder. He walks into the kitchen and saw his family looking so happy again. He glanced at his oldest daughter laughing with her best friends Maebe Wills and Faith Darnel from her school.
"Our daughter is growing up so fast huh?" Finn whispered into his wife's ear and Rachel nods really glad she had a little one still because her daughter was going to be 11 years old in June and she was getting upset a little because she wasn't use to watching her daughter getting older.
"I love that we have two other kids because once our little girl goes off to college! " Finn frowns not ready to think about that.
"Let's not think about that now, she's enjoying her life as 10 years old!" Rachel laughs nodding and brakes a piece of a of a banana for her daughter and Ashleigh chews it. Rachel giggles when Ash wants more and she puts one in her mouth.
"You like your banana baby!" Ashleigh nods clapping and chews more. Finn smiles at his Rachel and his daughter Ashleigh and felt proud to know that this was his life now and he wasn't going to take it for granted.
