Ange woke up cuddled up with Kisaiya. She was surprised that she had even managed to get any sleep. She had called the hospital and explained she wouldn't be in today and knew that she'd need to do the same for the school. She looked at her phone and saw that it was only 5 o'clock but she didn't feel like she could get back to sleep.
She pulled her niece closer to her and tried to close her eyes. She noticed that Kisaiya had shifted against her. She suspected that the girl and woken up too. She made sure to take a properly look at the girl and noticed her eyes open.
"Can't you sleep?" Ange asked softly and Kisaiya shook her head.
"We have to go to the police station at 10" Ange explained and Kisaiya nodded.
"I don't know why I feel like this" Kisaiya said sighing.
"It's like I was just starting to comprehend and see you as my mum and then this happens and I still see you as my mum but then I'm upset about what happened to my mum and I think that maybe if I helped my mum when she asked. She'd still be alive" Kisaiya tried to explain.
"Hey we don't even know if the cases are linked. I just need you to tell them exactly what your mum said to you" Ange said and Kisaiya nodded.
"Try and get some more sleep" Ange said softly and she started moving her fingers up and down the girl's back. This was the one thing that made Kisaiya relax and only Ange knew about it.
Ange was relieved that Kisaiya did go back to sleep. Ange felt a bit better knowing that the girl was sleeping. Ange was able to drift into an unease sleep.
Kisaiya was the next one to wake up at just before nine. She clambered out of bed and headed to her aunt's ensuite before going into the living room. She was the only one awake and just sat on the sofa staring into space.
Ange woke up about 10 minutes later and noticed that Kisaiya was no longer with her. She got up and went to see the girl. She quickly phoned the school and then sat down on the sofa. She pulled Kisaiya into her arms and kissed the top of the girl's head.
"Do you want breakfast before you get ready? Cereal or toast?" Ange asked softly not actually giving the girl a choice. She knew that when Kisaiya was struggling then she would often stop eating and Ange was determined to reduce the chance of this.
"Toast" Kisaiya mumbled. Ange nodded and disappeared to the kitchen while Chloe came out of her bedroom. Her stomach was really sore and she was really happy to see that Kisaiya was sat on the sofa ready for a cuddle. However, her view changed when she saw how upset her cousin was. She sat down and pulled the girl into her arms. She was upset too but not as much as her cousin and mother. She wasn't particularly close to her but she was still family.
Ange noticed that Chloe had woken up so she made them both toast before walking through. She noticed that Chloe looked like she was in pain so went behind the girl and pulled her into a hug. She didn't want Chloe to feel that she wasn't aware of the pain that she was going through and that just because of everything with Clemmie was not making her forget about Chloe.
Kisaiya finished her toast first. She hadn't been able to eat it all but Ange was happy with what she ate.
"Go and jump in the shower sweetie" Ange said and Kisaiya nodded. Ange waited until she heard Kisaiya closing the door. She noticed that the girl had gone into her ensuite but decided not to say anything.
"And how are you?" Ange asked turning all her attention to Chloe. Chloe shrugged.
"Have you started bleeding?" Ange asked and Chloe nodded.
"It's really heavy and my cramps are so bad" Chloe explained and Ange nodded.
"It will take a few days but it will end" Ange explained and Chloe nodded.
"Do you think I'll be able to see the foetus?" Chloe asked and Ange shrugged.
"It really depends. I don't want to worry you but you probably will because you are over 12 weeks" Ange explained. "But it will just look like a blood clot so you might not"
Ange wanted to ensure that her daughter was calm yet prepared. Chloe nodded. She di like that her mother was so straight with her.
"How is Kisaiya?" Chloe asked. She was ready to move onto another topic. Ange shrugged.
"So is confused. She doesn't know how she should feel or react and I don't know how to help her" Ange explained. They spoke for a bit longer before Kisaiya came out of the ensuite and allowed Ange to get ready.
Chloe was going to stay in the house while both Kisaiya and Ange headed out to the police station. It wasn't far from their house and they arrived quickly. They were taken into a room.
"Angel Godard, we would like you to do the identification as it will take time for your mother to come down here" The officer explained and Ange nodded.
"I want to see her" Kisaiya asked.
"I don't think that's a good idea" The officer said but Ange knew what Kisaiya was like. She would not stop until she got to.
"Let her" Ange said and the officer nodded.
"We have fixed her up as much as possible. She had multiple stab wounds but they are not visible as they are on her torso" He explained and Ange nodded.
"So we will do the interview first and then I will take you to identify her. We have taken many pieces of DNA from Clementina but we are keeping her body for another week while we do a full post mortem" He explained and they both nodded.
They walked into an office and went through exactly what had happened between Clemmie and Kisaiya. Kisaiya felt horrible. She was unable to give them much as she could but it wasn't a lot and she knew that. She just wanted to find out who had murdered her mother. What if they were after her? She was too scared to talk to Ange about it.
Once Kisaiya had given her statement they were then taken to the morgue where they had to identify Clemmie. It was then it really hit Ange. She was trying so hard not to cry because she didn't want to upset Kisaiya but she couldn't help it. It started and that was it. She couldn't stop, she pulled her daughter into her chest and let the girl cry.
"I love you" Ange said kissing the girl on the head. Once they completed the appropriate paperwork. They were free to go. Of course, they were told that they would be kept up to date and had to keep in touch with them if anything else came up.
They arrived home at lunchtime and Ange made them all lunch. They then hung out watching the TV. Chloe was feeling slightly better and Ange kept a close eye on Kisaiya the whole time. She knew that grief was a process and that it would take Kisaiya a while to comprehend all of this but they would get there together.
Sorry the end is rushed but I hope this is okay :) Please review.
