This chapter is a bit crap but it needs to be there for future chapters-you know what I mean? Well, enjoy...

Chapter 14.

Daniel woke up half way through the night, he had no idea why he had woken up until he heard whimpering coming from Paige's room. He slowly got to his feet and walked to her door.

"Paige." He said. "Are you okay?"

When he got no reply he opened her door and walked to her bed.

"Paige?" He sat on the side of her bed and stroked the hair from her face. She was crying in her sleep and thrashing around. "Paige it's just a nightmare, nothings wrong." He soothed.

It must have worked because she soon quietened down; she rolled over and gripped Daniel's hand in hers. He smiled and kissed her forehead before untangling his hand from hers and leaving her to sleep.

---------------

The next morning Daniel walked into her room and opened the curtains.

"Wakey, wakey, rise and shine." He smiled and stole her pillows from under her head.

"Go away." She grunted form under the covers.

"Up, we have a film to see and some paint to get." He walked out of the room calling behind him. "Breakfast is in ten minutes."

"It's too early!" She yelled after him.

-------------

They had picked Janet and Cassie up a little late, but earlier than they would have if Daniel had been going on his own-he'd be late for his own funeral.

"So guys what do you want to see?" Daniel asked as they stood outside the cinema.

"Scooby Doo 2."

"The Cat in the Hat." They said in unison.

"It amazes me that two seventeen year olds would want to watch two children's films." Daniel said.

"Coming from the man that loves Harry Potter." Janet smiled at him.

"I like his glasses." He smiled back.

Meanwhile Cassie and Paige were whispering to each other.

"We have come to a decision." Cassie said.

"We'll go and see a film and you can go and see whatever you like." Paige added.

"What are you going to see?" Janet asked.

"Big Fish."

"Fine by me, Daniel?"

"Sure, just don't corrupt Cassie, Cassie don't corrupt Paige." Daniel teased.

«What ever, just give us some money and we'll get out of your hair. » Paige grinned.

The adults reluctantly handed over the money.

"Just meet us here at 12 for lunch okay?"

"Yes Mom." Both girls said and ran into the cinema.

"So Miss Fraiser, what would you like to see?" Daniel held his arm out for her.

"Why Mr Jackson, you are quite the gentleman." She took his arm and grinned. "I honestly don't mind."

"Well we could see Starsky and Hutch and relive the 70's or we could see Mona Lisa Smiles."

"I think I'll go with Mona Lisa Smiles." They both walked arm in arm into the cinema.

---------------

"Jan, does Cassie still get nightmares?" Daniel asked as they waited for the teenagers out side the cinema.

"Only every now and then, why?"

"Well, Paige had one last night, I don't know what it was about but this morning she denied having it."

"Did she wake up?"

"No, I went in to see if she was alright, but she didn't wake up."

"I wouldn't worry about it, even adults get the occasional nightmare. If it keeps happening you should think about talking to her about seeing a psychologist, that'll get the truth out of her."

"Thanks, I just don't know how to deal with a teenager, let alone a girl."

"Well, anytime you feel like a brake, just give me a call and I'll get Cassie to drop by. They seem to be getting along really well."

"Yeah." He smiled at Janet. "You could come over with Cassie, I mean to talk. Adult to adult."

She put her hand in his. "Or we could send the girls to go and bug Jack." She grinned evilly.

"Oh, yeah anytime." He looked up to see their two girls coming towards them, both had noticed their parents holding hands and were whispering to each other.

"Why do they make me feel paranoid?" Janet whispered to Daniel.

"I know what you mean, it's a conspiracy."

"Hey guys, good film?"

"Yep, how was yours?" Cassie asked.

"Or didn't you see to much of it?" Paige raised her eyebrows with a glint in her eye.

"So you want grey walls and bars on the window? I think we can manage that." Daniel glared back.

"Love you." Paige put on her innocent little girl smile.

"Sure you do, come on I'm starved." Daniel pulled Paige and Cassie across the road to a small diner leaving Janet to bring up the rear.

-------------------------

"Did you enjoy?" Daniel asked once they had dropped Janet and Cassie off at their house.

"Yep, they're great."

"Good, I'm glad you enjoyed."

"So we painting my room tomorrow?"

"You bet!" He pulled into his drive way. "So you hungry?"

"Always."

"Chinese?"

"Sure."

I promise the next chapter will be better. At least I hope it will be!
