Behind Closed Doors

Disclaimer: I own Robert Grange, & Jess Grange & Chloe Green and any other characters that you may not recognise

Summary: She never realised what was happening at home… She never realised just how much her daughter was hurting because of her choice. She never realised what happened behind closed doors

'Mrs. Grange, I have Miss Green's school on the line for you' Patricia Loftman, PA of Mrs. Rachel Grange buzzed on the intercom.

Rachel pressed a button 'Thankyou Patricia, Put them straight through' Rachel ordered

Picking up the phone, She heard a frantic voice

'Mrs. Grange, Is that you?'

'Yes, speaking'

'Mrs. Grange, I have your daughter Chloe here, She seems to be in labour'

Rachel immediately panicked 'But, I don't understand, What was she doing at school so close to the due date anyway?'

'I don't know, but what I do know is, The twins are coming now'

'Okay, Could you phone an ambulance, Tell Chloe, not to worry, everything will be okay and I'll meet her at the hospital'

'Okay' She heard the woman on the phone tell Chloe, the message and put the phone down.

Rachel immediately sprang into action.

Grabbing her coat, Rachel quickly looked at the picture of Chloe, Jessica, Robert & herself. Taken just before Chloe had become pregnant. They were on a family holiday on a campsite in France, Where Chloe had become pregnant.

'Okay, Patricia, It looks like Chloe's twins are going to make an early entrance, So I'm leaving, I'll let you know the score about when I'll be returning to work'

Rachel had booked off a week off work just to help Chloe and stuff

'Okay, Let me know how the birth goes oh and also tell Chloe good luck'

'I will'

'Goodbye, Mrs. Grange'

'Bye'

Power walking to her car Rachel phoned her husband Robert Grange

'Honey, change of plan'

'What' a deep voice said on the phone

'Chloe's gone in to labour, so you'll need to pick up Jessica from school today'

'But wait sweetie I can't I've got a busy day today'

'Listen, Honey its half way through school right now and I'm not prepared to take Jessica out'

'Okay then I totally agree but couldn't you get one of the neighbours to pick Jess up, or even maybe one of Jess's friends moms?'

'Rob, Honey, I'm not asking too much for you to pick Jess up, You hardly do it it's always me or Chloe on the way home from school, so just for once, Jess would love it if you picked her up'

Rachel heard Robert sigh 'Okay I'll do it'

'Great, thankyou that's a worry of my mind, Oh don't bring Jess to the hospital we may be there for a while, and you could work from home today, But just don't keep the phone busy, Because I'll bringing to let you know what happens'

'Okay, Bye' And with that Robert hung up the phone

'Oh mom, I want them out of me' Chloe cried out in pain

'I know honey, It'll be all over soon' Rachel talked soothingly to her daughter, stroking her hair

'Mom, I'm so sorry that I was at school, I was going to meet Tiffany, and I was so bored at home'

'Hey, hey honey it doesn't matter anymore it doesn't and you know what I couldn't be angry with you, you're having my grandchildren'

It was 3 hours later, and Chloe had just be examined and told that she was 5 centimetres.

Chloe had just asked for an epidural.

'Do you think I could go for a walk?' Chloe asked 'I heard it can make labour go quicker'

'I guess' the nurse said 'Have a walk around this floor, but no where else, do you understand me?'

'Whatever' Chloe said suddenly squeezing as another strong contraction hit her

'OOOWWWWW' she moaned. Rachel knew just how much pain Chloe was going through. The birth of her two daughters had been painful and long. But totally worth it.

'Hey, do you remember my high school friends Monica & Ross, Well their psyched to hear that your in labour, they're sending you some flowers and they told me to tell you that when you and the babies feel up to it, we can go visit them in New York, that'll be nice huh?' Rachel said trying to take Chloe's mind of the long horrible contraction

'Uh-huh' Chloe said through gritted teeth, Rachel looked over to the monitor 'Okay honey… The worst is over…'

'Sure' Chloe said breathlessly

'Oh yeah, just remember deep breaths'

Eventually to Chloe's delight the contraction stopped 'I guess if were going to start walking it might as well be in between contractions' Chloe tried to be upbeat but It was hard. She knew she still had to give birth to her twins. And she was exhausted.

They had to stop several times because of painful contractions. But they finally got to the Nursery. Chloe gazed at the beautiful babies.

'It's kinda hard to believe soon, my babies will be in there' Chloe said

'Yep, Two more beautiful babies in the nursery' Rachel said smiling at her daughter

'So have you decided on names yet?' Rachel asked her daughter

'I don't know, I keep thinking of different names, So I'm just going to see what they look like after I've had them and then choose from there'

Another painful contraction hit Chloe then. And she gasped in pain. She leaned on her mom for support.

'Miss. Green, Time to check you up' a nurse said

Chloe could only nod. She was trying to breathe.

They all slowly made their way back to the semi-private room.

The gave something to Chloe so she could try and sleep and it worked. Rachel sat at the side of her bed she'd drifted off to sleep.

Chloe woke up, The pain had tripled. She felt like she needed to push. She pushed the nurse button. And soon her midwife and a nurse came.

'I think' Chloe said sitting up 'This is it'

A quick examination proved that Chloe was indeed right, She was 10 centimetres.

Rachel, who had woken up due to all the commotion, grinned at her daughter. All Chloe could do was give a weak smile

'Kaylyn, we need to get Miss Green to delivery'

Soon, Rachel was running at the side of her daughter, holding her hand. Chloe was panicking. This was it. As they went through the doors of delivery. Chloe said to her mom' Don't leave me okay?'

Her mom nodded 'I'm here all the way'

'Okay, Chloe I need you to push now' the midwife said

Chloe started to push with all her might. She screamed in pain.

'Come on Chloe, Another few pushes and you'll have your first baby'

Chloe pushed, feeling exhausted

A few seconds later, she felt a small gush and the midwife said

'Well done Chloe, It's a little girl'

Chloe could hear the baby crying, and all she wanted to do was have her little girl in her arms

But she knew she had another baby to go

'Okay, Chloe, I need you to push just like before'

Chloe nodded, as the urge to push became unbearable

Chloe moaned in pain. This was so hard. She vowed to herself that she'd never do this again, This was her first and last time in labour.

'Okay, Chloe I want one more big push' Chloe did as the midwife said and soon she was told

'It's a little boy!'

The midwifes went to clean her up, and soon they showed Chloe her beautiful twins

'Oh Chloe, They look just like you' Rachel said tearfully. With her baby boy in her left arm and baby girl in her right. Chloe felt so proud.

'So what names do you think suits them?' Rachel asked her daughter

'Well I have the perfect name for him' Chloe decided 'this little boy's called Joshua Justin Green'

'Perfect' Rachel said looking in to her grandson's eyes.

'And I was going o call it Madison if it was a girl, but I don't think that's suits her'

'Well you've got ages to think of a name for her'

A few hours later, Chloe, Josh, & baby girl Green had visitors. Her mom, her little 6-year-old sister Jessica, also known as Jess and Robert came.

Chloe hated Robert, Robert actually wasn't her father. Her father was Dave Ferguson, and sadly when Chloe was 5, Robert was killed in a horrible car crash. Rachel & Dave were engaged. And so happy.

But that was all taken away. Then 3 years later, while dating Robert got Rachel pregnant. They married after he proposed after Jess was born. They'd moved into nice family home. 3 months after Jess was born. Robert had tried to adopt Chloe, but Chloe had refused point blank. Rachel didn't know why Chloe hated Robert; he'd done nothing wrong. Had he?

Chloe saw Robert look a bit misty eyed at Josh held by Rachel and her baby girl who Jess was holding while sitting on a chair.

The baby girl started to yell a little. So Rachel put Josh in the little cot beside Chloe's bed. And went across the room to get the baby from Jess.

'Mom, can we get a coke' Jess asked her mom. Apparently holding a baby was thirsty work

'I don't see why not' Rachel said smiling

'I'll be back soon, you too have a chat' Rachel said and he walked out the room with Jess holding her hand

For a few minutes, there was silence.

And much to her relief Robert walked to the door. And then he closed it, locking the door.

'We need to talk' he said firmly

'I don't want to talk to you' Chloe said firmly

'I don't care what you want, now listen to me' he said sharply. With both babies in their cots, Robert came right up to Chloe's face holding his hand around her neck. Trying to hurt her.

Chloe knew not to show she was panicking. That's what he loved to see.

'You are not to tell anyone about what happens do you understand' Chloe nodded tears filling her eyes.

'We are the only ones who know about them two little one's' he said whispering in her ear 'Are little secret, remember?'

He pulled away, and unlocking the door stormed out he room.

Sobbing, Chloe lay down on her bed.

Their little secret, every since Rachel had gone away on a trip to Boston for business, 5 months after they'd moved in to their family house. Their little secret had begun, Just turning nine then, Chloe hadn't realised what Robert was doing was wrong. At first it was a feel under her shirt, Then calling her rude names. Then soon enough whenever Rachel was out, Robert had got more and more nasty. Events had come to a head. When Chloe had turned 14 he had raped her. On her birthday, That was oh what 9 months ago. Robert had raped her on her birthday on holiday in a caravan. Rachel & Jess were at the pool.

Chloe had been warned that if she told, he'd make life miserable for her. And now here she was 9 months later. With twins.

Even though she was pregnant with his children, He'd still raped her about three times, and now after the pain of childbirth she just prayed he wouldn't try again.

Chloe wanted to tell her mum but she was too scared.

Unaware of how one of her daughters were feeling. Rachel & Jess sat a table in a cafeteria of the hospital drinking coke's.

One day Rachel Grange would find out about how wrong her 'happy family' really were.

Because poor Rachel Grange was totally unaware of what went on behind closed doors.

And when she did eventually found out. It would be heartache all round.
