Behind Closed Doors

Chapter 3

'Chloe, honey, I'm here' Rachel said happily as she entered Chloe's hospital room

'I'm in the bathroom' she head Chloe yell

'Where's Josh & Jenna?' Rachel yelled

'In the nursery'

Rachel sat at the end of Chloe's made bed. She opened the bag she'd brought with her. She brought Josh & Jenna outfits including shoes. Josh's outfit was a little pair of jeans, a red baby GAP hoody, a plain white T-shirt, and some sweet tiny blue Nike shoes. Jenna's outfit consisted off a pink top saying 'I'm so cute'. Nice pink jeans with little yellow flowers. And a matching GAP pink hoody.

When Chloe came out she was really surprised. 'Oh mom, you didn't have to' she gushed as she saw her daughter's and son's leaving outfit.

'I know I didn't Rachel said happily 'But today is a special day, and as I am in Fashion I know it's important to look your best on special days, like today'

'Well thankyou anyway, they'll look gorgeous' Chloe kissed her mom's cheek.

Rachel put her arms out and Chloe hugged her mom

'So' Rachel asked 'Looking forward to going home'

Chloe felt her whole body stiffen. Home. Where she wasn't safe.

Rachel felt it too.

She pulled Chloe away, so she could look her in the eye

'Hey, I know you're nervous, But it'll be fine, I'm on hand to help you'

'Right' Chloe said trying to focus on the weather outside. The sun was shining in her room.

'Now, I'm going to go and fill out the relevant forms to get you guys outta here' Rachel said. And with that she stood up, and walked confidently out of the hospital room.

Chloe sighed. She walked over to the hospital window. And stared out at the weather. Sunshine, not a cloud in the sky.

She'd always thought the day she'd bring her baby or babies home it'd be a joyous day, The sun would be shining just like today. And her husband would pick her up. They'd go home to their big house. And they'd have a great life.

'It couldn't be any different' she thought aloud bitterly.

Here she was a teen mother, with twins. Who of course she adored with all her heart. She wasn't married. And the babies' father was her step dad. The only thing that was like her dream was it was a beautiful day, and they'd be going home to a big house.

It was unreal, She was scared to go home. Because at home was this monster, who had such a great act. That he could fool everyone, and anyone. Only Chloe knew the truth.

'SURPRISE' shouted Jennifer & Jess. And a few of Chloe's friends.

'Wow' Chloe said stunned. She was carrying Jenna in her arms, Her mom came in behind carrying Josh, shutting the front door behind her.

Her friends, sister & mom all walked into the living room.

All of Chloe's friends gushed over the babies, Who were now in both arms of Chloe.

They had a quite welcome home party. And Chloe really enjoyed herself. Because Robert wasn't there.

'Hey, I have a surprise for you' Rachel said a little later.

'Another one, mom' Chloe said

'Uh-huh' she sat down on Chloe's bed. Where Chloe was reading one of her many books from the library on childcare.

Chloe put her book down giddily. She loved surprises, well good ones that is.

'Monica & her fiancé Chandler, have invited us to stay at their apartment in the city, for a few days. As we never have had chance to meet him. And you know Dr. Drake Ramoray'

'Yeah, He's on day's' Chloe replied confused. Joey Tribbiani, who played Drake, was only the hottest, best actor around.

'Well, the guy who plays him, Joey Tribbiani, Lives opposite to them, and he's Chandler's best friend, They hang around together'

Chloe looked stunned

'You mean, I will get to meet Joey Tribbiani' she squeaked

'Uh-huh' Rachel said

'OH MY GOD' She yelled.

'Hey, you'll wake…'

The shrill of a baby's cry filled Chloe's bedroom.

'Oops' Chloe said. She walked over to the two cribs. To find it was Josh crying.

'I'm sorry, did mommy wake you?' she cooed to her son.

Rachel looked on from Chloe's bed. Admiring how well Chloe had taken to being a mom.

She was proud to have Chloe as her daughter. Very proud.

3 days later

'I'll miss you Robert' Rachel said whining as she helped Jess, Josh, Jenna & Chloe in the car 'Are you sure you can't come, It feels like I've hardly seen you'

'I'm sorry Honey' he said apologetically 'But, I'm needed at work, I'm having a really busy time at the moment, Business is booming'

'I know, I didn't mean to moan, But I meant what I said, I'll miss you'

'I'll miss you too'

Rachel kissed Robert, and climbed in the car.

'Everyone comfy' she said.

'Yep' Jess said and gave her a thumbs up from the seat next to Rachel's

'How about you three' Rachel asked looking in the mirror

'Were fine, Let's go' Chloe said edgy

'Okay' Rachel said

She started the car up, and beeping the horn, they pulled out of the drive.

'Next stop' Rachel said to her kids and grandchildren 'Chandler & Monica's'

At the Grange household. Robert was making a phone call.

'So to repeat Gloria, all important business decisions to be passed on to Lee Badormon, I need this week off'

'Thankyou, Bye'

He put the phone down, and picked his mobile up. He dialled a number and then talked after somebody answered.

'Zoë, fancy coming over?'

(Pause)

'Good, Bye'

Under an hour later. Robert and a blonde woman were making out on the sofa.

'Lets, take this to the bedroom' he said

'Lets'

And they made their way upstairs.
