Kim woke up in Bobby's arms. She smiled softly. She wanted so badly to tell Bobby how she felt, but she wanted to wait until this whole mess with George was over. She slowly got out of bed so she wouldn't wake up Bobby. She wanted to pick up Joey and go back home.
Kim knocked on her mother's door. "Kim, so nice of you to finally come by," Catherine said.
"Yeah I know, I just had a lot going on," Kim replied.
"And that would be?" Catherine asked.
"Something I don't want to involve you in," Kim said.
"Well I'll go get Joey," Catherine said and left the room.
Joey walked into the room and hugged his mom. "Mommy am I coming home now?" Joey asked.
"Yeah you're coming home now," Kim said.
Kim walked into the living room with Joey. She was surprised to see George there. "What are you doing here? You're supposed to be in jail," Kim said with shock and fear in her voice.
"Now huney, you know they can't keep me in jail for long. They released me until the trial. Which means we can spend more time together. You know it did hurt me when you didn't visit," George said and kissed her forehead.
"Mommy who's this?" Joey asked. So far he didn't like the guy.
"Well I'm your mommy's boyfriend," George replied.
"Joey go upstairs," Kim said.
"Okay," Joey said and left. He sat on the top stair to see what was going on.
"Now Kim, you were supposed to stay with me and defend me," George said.
"If you don't leave I'll call the police," Kim said. She really didn't want to put up with George right now, and she also didn't want him around Joey.
"Now Kim who has the power here. You would never make it to the phone. Maybe when I'm done I'll call you an ambulance, but that's a big maybe," George said. George moved closer to Kim and started hitting her. Joey ran into his mom's room and called the police.
"Kim woke up in the hospital. She saw Bobby sitting in a chair next to her. "I don't want you going back there. You're going to stay with me," Bobby said.
"Bobby I don't want to impose," Kim said.
"You're not imposing and you have no choice. You and Joey are staying with me. I'm going to let you stay in a place where you're not safe," Bobby said gently. He didn't want Kim to get hurt again.
"Thanks Bobby," Kim said smiling. She liked the idea of staying with Bobby. She thought it was sweet how concerned he was for her. Kim went back to sleep. She was being released tomorrow so she wanted to be well rested. Hopefully her troubles with George were over.
George was back in jail. He knew he would get Kim back. All he had to do was eliminate Bobby. Which is why he made those arrangements. All he knew was if Bobby was smart he'd stay in his house and away from Kim.
