Lynn was the first one up the next day. When she got out of bed she started to look around her mother's old bedroom. There were picture of her mother with tons of people she didn't know. As Lynn started to go through the pictures she noticed the there were names on the back. The pictures were of people going in and out of motels and of her mother with people named Lilly, Duncan, Weevil, Wallace, Logan and her mother's mother and father. As Lynn continued going through the pictures she noticed most of the pictures were of people going in and out of motels and her mother and the guy named Logan.
"Lynn, are you up?" Veronica asked as she popped her head in to check on her daughter.
"Yeah. Mommy it still hurts" Lynn said.
"I figured it would which is why I have some medicine and a glass of water," Veronica said, "let me check you out okay"
"Okay" Lynn said as she lifted her shirt to show her mother her stomach and back.
Veronica was looking for bruises and gently putting pressure where there was bruising to make sure no bones were broken.
"Nothings broken this time let me look at your face" Veronica said as she looked at her daughters face to be sure she was okay.
"Your okay just some bruises" she said as calmly as she could considering she was full of rage toward her husband.
"Mommy, who is this man? There are a lot of pictures of you and him" Lynn said lifting a picture toward her.
Veronica took the picture. When she looked at it she saw herself and Logan, young and happy. She looked back down at her daughter. "I'll tell you later but right now I think we should go make breakfast for grandpa then I have to run an errand so that will give you a chance to get to know your grandpa" Veronica explained.
"Okay" Lynn said cheery and skipped out of the room to the kitchen.
Within about half an hour the two had made eggs, bacon, toast, and pancakes. Veronica made up a plate for Lynn and a plate for her father. She then went to wake her father up.
"Dad, Lynn and I made breakfast, all your favorite artery cloggers" Veronica said as she gently shook her father.
"Okay I'll be out in a minute" Keith mumbled as he started to roll out of bed.
"Okay" Veronica said as she went beck to the kitchen.
When the two girls were half way through with their breakfast Keith came out of his room and sat down and ate.
"Dad I have to see someone could you watch Lynn while I'm out?" Veronica asked. Keith nodded while he finished chewing. "Okay thanks. I'll be back as soon as possible" she said kissing her dad's cheek. Then turned to Lynn and whispered, "Don't tell grandpa anything about Brian or how he hits us okay" as she kissed her cheek.
"Okay" Lynn whispered back.
"Love you" Veronica said as she walked out of the apartment.
"Love you too" Keith and Lynn said at the same time.
Veronica smiled as she walked to her father's car and got in.
A/N: Thanks to all the people who reviewed. I had some trouble uploading chapters so I had to delete the story and repost it. To all who questioned why Veronica stayed with Brian even though he abused her that will be answered soon. Again thanks to all reviewers and keep reviewing.
