"You're not taking her away from me" Carter shouted.

"John your drunk" Susan said, "give Ali to me please."

"No Carter said, "no she is my baby as well." "Mine not his not his" he fell to the floor crying.

Susan took Ali off Carter and walked away from him, holding a crying Ali "John" she said "get up and go home you will regret this when you sober up."

Carter lay slumped against the door.

"Right" David, said walking over to him, he dragged him up and held him against the door "go the hell home man" he said, "and you wonder why she won't let you see your daughter."

"Ok ok" Susan shouted, "look" she said "Ali is getting upset David can you take Ali for me and giver her a bath."

David looked at Susan.

"Please" Susan said.

"Yeah ok" David said taking Ali.

"I don't want him near my daughter" Carter shouting, running over but falling on the floor.

"Man" David said "you are pathetic."

"Leave it David" Susan shouted "just take Ali ok."

"Ok" David said walking in to the bathroom and shutting the door.

Susan bent down to Carter "come on" she said helping him up and shutting the door, she sat him on the sofa "look" she said "John what the hell are you doing to your self huh", she brushed his hair back were he had fell and cut his head, "here" she said putting a tissue on it.

"Susan" Carter said slurring his words "I I I cant lose her she is my baby she is all I have, I love her to much, it hurts me so much to think of her gone."

Susan was crying she held his face in her hands "John" she said "im sorry look im not going to take Ali away from you, I was angry I said a lot of things I didn't mean, Ali is your daughter as much as mine ok."

"You're not going to take her away from me?"

Susan smiled "no" she said, "you can see her when ever you want ok, just don't leave her with other people."

Carter was crying.

Susan smiled "I'll go make you some coffe, ok just sit there."

"Ok" Carter, said.

Susan got up and poured out a cup of coffe, "here" she bending down to him she smiled to see him sleeping, she lifted his feet on to the sofa and pulled the blanket over him.

"I love you Susan" Carter mumbled.

Susan looked at him and kissed him on the head, she got up and opened the door to the bathroom to see David bathing Ali "hey" Susan smiled "having fun?"

David laughed "yes we are has he gone?"

"No" Susan said bending down to Ali in the bath, "he's asleep on the sofa, hey honey" she said kissing Ali.

"Hey" Susan said "don't curse in front of Ali ok, and don't bad mouth her father in front of her as well, he's not crazy he was just upset he loves his baby. ok lets just leave it at that and forget about it."

Susan looked at Ali "what do you want to do today honey, hey" she kissed Ali "are you laughing, yes you are come on lets go get you changed."

Susan was cooking in the kitchen while Ali was in her play pen.

"Hey" Susan smiled.

"Hi" Carter said he stood up.

Susan smiled "feel ok?"

"No" Carter said "but I deserve it" he said.

Susan smiled "no you don't2 she said, "you were just upset and I understand that."

"Im sorry" Carter said "I really am where's David I should say sorry."

"Oh don't worry about him" Susan said, "he's fine he's at work."

Carter smiled "hey" he said looking at Ali.

Ali's face lit up as soon as she seen her dad.

"She loves her daddy" Susan smiled, "here," she said handing Carter some fries and a hotdog.

"Thanks" Carter said he bent down and picked Ali up he kissed her head and hugged her.

"You want to put her down for a nap?" Susan asked.

"Yeah" Carter said walking in to Ali's room.

Fade out and back in half an hour later.

Susan walked in to Ali's room to see Carter reading to her, she smiled "she's asleep" she said.

Carter looked up and drawled the drapes even though it was light outside, he bent down an picked up a teddy "here" he said handing it to Susan, he looked deeply in to her eyes she was beautiful.

Susan smiled "what?" she asked.

"Nothing" Carter said "I better go" he smiled, bending down and kissing Ali "I'll see you tomorrow" he said walking out of the room.

Susan smiled taking in a deep breath, she picked up the phone and dialled a number.

"Hello" David said on the other end.

Susan went to speak but nothing came out, she quickly hung up the phone putting her head in her hands "what am I doing" she said. Just the other day her and David were talking about him moving in, she looked over at the picture in the frame next to her it was of her and David and Ali she dialled the number again.

"Hello" a woman's voice said.

Susan felt sick "hi" she said, "can I speak to David please?"

"He has just left for work" the woman said, "can i ask who's calling?"

"Just someone from work" Susan said, "when he gets home can you tell him DR Lewis called it's about a case."

"Ok" the woman, said, "that's if I see him, he is at work more than he is with me and the kids."

Susan went in to shock "oh" she said "oh yeah ok bye" she hung up the phone every part of her body felt numb she was shaking all over tears falling from her face, she fell on to the chair and sat there sobbing.

Fade out and back in 2 hours later.

The phone rang and Susan picked it up "hello" she said.

"Hi" David said at the other end, "ok I know this morning was awful, but how about I take you and Ali out for a nice big meal."

"What?" Susan said, tears were still pouring down her face "not tonight" Susan said.

"Why?" David said, "it will make you feel better."

Susan smiled "I don't think anything could make me feel better right now."

"Ok ok" David said, "well im coming over then ok."

Susan sat there, "yeah" she said "ok" she hung up the phone and stood up closing the drapes it was just getting dark. She turned on all the lights and ran in to the bathroom she wiped her eyes and threw some water over her face, when there was a knock on the door.

"Hello" David said, "can I use my key?"

Susan ran to the door and opened it "hey" she smiled, "come in."

"Hey" David said bending down and kissing her, "you ok honey you look like you have been crying, has he been here upsetting you again, what time did he leave anyway?"

Susan looked at him, "no" she said "John has been fine" she smiled "im upset for another reason."

"Is Ali ok?" David asked.

"Yeah" Susan said "she's fine, "she is in her room sleeping."

"Oh" David said "you want to order Chinese or something?" "Im so hungry."

Susan looked at him, "whatever" she said "you know how me and you were talking about moving in together with Ali, well I was just wondering how that was going to work out you know since you have a wife and kids?" "Or did you just forget to mention that?"

David's face went white, he stood looking at her and dropped the Chinese menu he was reading from, "what" he said "what are you talking about?"

"Don't even try to talk your way out of it" Susan said, "I phoned your apartment this morning and your wife answered you had just left to go to work." "I told her I knew you from work, and she says your never go home to see your kids and her that your always in work." But your not are you?" Susan shouted, "your here with me and my baby, I can't believe you" Susan screamed "how could you do this to me when you have children."

David looked at her "im sorry" he said "I didn't mean to hurt you, I just like you I thought if I could just be with you at least once I could get you out of my system, but I couldn't I fell for you Susan I love you."

Susan looked at him "don't" she said, "you have kids how many?"

David looked at her.

"How many?" Susan shouted.

"4" David said "two boys and two girls."

Susan felt sick "how could you do this to me" she shouted, "and Ali how could you do this to hear she loves you to bits, I hate you" Susan shouted hitting him.

"Hey" David shouted "hey" he threw he across the room and ran over to her punching her in the face and the ribs." He grabbed her arms and held her up against the wall, "what the hell do you think you are doing?" he shouted, hitting her he threw her back against the wall causing her to bang her head, he done it again and again.

Susan was now going dizzy, her head was throbbing and she couldn't see in one eye because there was blood in it from the cut under her eye. The top of her head was bleeding badly, she was kicking and screaming hoping someone would hear her but no one could no one did.

"Shut up!" David was shouting, "shut up!" he was throwing her everywhere, "I said shut up" he threw her in to the glass cabinet she had and it shattered around her.

Susan had no more energy left in her. She fell to the floor in a heap, she lay there her head down on the floor, she heard him shouting and then silence, she heard footsteps and the door slam. She closed her eyes hoping to wake up soon from this horrible nightmare.

Carter bumped in to Abby on his way over to Susan's the next morning, "hey" he said "were you going?"

Abby smiled "Susan's we have made a pact to walk to work together every morning keep fit."

Carter smiled "im sorry I left Ali with you he said it was wrong of me."

"Don't worry about it" Abby smiled hugging him, "it's all over now."

Carter held the door open for Abby to Susan's building and they walked up two sets of stairs to Susan's door, Carter knocked.

Abby smiled "she best be up I can't be late, Weaver will kill me."

"She will be" Carter said, "Ali wakes up for her feed early" he laughed.

"Wait shhh" Abby said "can you hear crying?"

Carter went silent he heard it a heart piercing crying, and it was coming from his daughter, "Susan" Carter shouted "Susan you in there?"

Abby knocked on the door louder, "Susan!" she shouted "you ok?"

Carter was now banging on the door, "Susan are you ok in there are you hurt Susan" he shouted "ok" he said "ok im going to knock the door down."

"What" Abby said "no don't she leaves a key around here somewhere, she told me I remember in case she locks her self out."

Carter looked around desperately.

"Here" Abby said feeling on top of the door frame "got it" she put the key in the door and pushed the door open "oh my god!" she said.
