Braxton. 54: Thank you for the review. I think Brax knew that he had to call the social on Ricky, but hopefully she'll be able to get baby Olivia back.

Thank you to FrankElza who checked the chapter.

I know I updated once today, but I couldn't wait to get this one up as well, as it kind of follows on from the previous one.

Abuse.

Chapter 38.

Early the next morning, knocking disturbs Brax and Ricky, who had fallen asleep on the couch, her head resting on his chest.

Ricky heads out to the hallway and opens the door to be greeted by two females.

"Erica Shape?" One of them steps forward, flashing an ID badge, "My name's Nicole Wilson and this is Amanda Turner, we are from social services, may we come in?"

"Sure"

Nicole and Amanda walk in to the house, heading in to the living room, sitting on the couch. They first questioned Ricky.

"Why did you leave her?" Amanda asked.

"I don't know" Ricky whispered. "She was crying. "

"New-borns usually do"

"I know. "

It had been one stupid, bad mistake.

They questioned Brax next, while Ricky sat in the living room, holding her baby in her arms. When they stepped in to the room, Ricky knew and cuddled her daughter, but she had an idea. She picked up her phone and took a picture of her daughter, so she'd have a recent picture.

"Erica if you don't co -operate, you will be forcibly restrained. "

Ricky shook her head. "Please don't take her"

"We have no choice, it's for her safety"

"Come on, Ricky" Brax walked towards her, holding his arms out. "Give her to me"

Ricky clutched Olivia to her, fear written over her face. "Brax"

"It's for the best, Ricky" He told her, as she lowered Olivia in to his arms. Olivia whimpered. "Shh. "

"We'll be in touch" Said Amanda as they left the house, her baby in their arms.

Ricky collapsed to the floor, crying.

Brax picked Ricky up and took her in to the living room.

"How could I have been stupid?" Ricky muttered. "I'm never going to see her again?"

Social services arrived at where Olivia was going to be staying. Amanda knocked on the door.

The woman answered it, a smile on her lips.

Amanda held Olivia in her arms. "Are you a relation?"

"She's my granddaughter" Clare took Olivia in to her arms as the social workers looked around the house seeing if it was a suitable environment for the little girl to stay in.

They agreed it was and left Clare to raise her baby granddaughter.

They returned to Ricky's house where she was still being comforted by Brax.
