Molly finally got out the hospital and she was more than happy about that because it meant that she could get back to normal, if there was one thing she didn't like it was the fact that she couldn't do the stuff that she had come here to do. Whether they would send her back home or let her do the work that she had come out here to do was definitely something that she wasn't sure about but they didn't have another medic and getting one would take a while.

So she might as well stay here and finish up then maybe they could go back to home.

The rain was coming down again and Molly wasn't sure just how big of a difference all of this was going to make especially if there was more flooding. But they would do what they can to make things much easier for those that had lost everything in the floods.

What Molly had been looking forward to was putting her uniform on again, she had felt strange without it out especially when she had seen Bones and Captain James with theirs on. That was definitely something that she wasn't looking forward to. That was one conversation that really needed to wait til they got home because at least then she would be able to explain it better.

Drama wasn't needed when they were overseas because it made things that much more worst but between Private Richards, Captains James and McClyde it was definitely something she hadn't thought would ever happen to her. Afghanistan had been known for that and she didn't want a repeat of what had happened back then.

Molly was dreading the ride back to camp if Captain James actually went and picked her up from the hospital but thankfully it had been Bones, although she was wondering just what would be said when they arrived back.

"Your carriage has arrived, princess" Bones teased and that got a smile from Molly. It was definitely a nicer day when she smiled.

"And who are you? My fairy godmother?" Molly asked and walked with him towards the doors.

That morning she had dropped in on Sandra and she too was going home or at least to a place where she could collect her passport and get the hell out of here. Her family has suffered enough. Molly had to make sure that she contacted her own family because they would probably know by now what had happened.

They must be going out their minds with worry.

They were heading back to the camp when Bones turned to glance at Molly "So, what really happened with you and your ex husband?"

"It's probably a long story"

"We have a long drive and probably enough time" he admitted and then put his attention back on the road once more "But if you don't want to talk about it then that's fine but you are going to have to talk to someone about it because it looks like your shoulders are a bit more heavier this morning and when you're out here, that's never a good thing"

Molly sighed softly and chewed on her lip for a moment. She wasn't sure if she could really explain everything but if she told him a brief summary of what had happened then maybe he might understand why she wasn't still married to Charles.

She slowly moved her eyes over to look out the passenger window, the rain splattering the window and for a moment she wondered where she could actually start because there was just so much that Molly could tell him. But she figured that she would have to start somewhere.

"It was Charles' mother that really split us up, she wasn't so bad in the beginning or at least I pretended to think that she was nice but really she was a horrible bitch, I had to get out of there and it all came to a head around our wedding anniversary but like I said, it had started way before that."

"The monster-in-law, figures, what happened?"

"Well the first time we were at a dinner with all of her friends and it was a nightmare"

-.-

Flashback 1

"This is really making me feel nervous, Charles" Molly muttered as they stood at the front door of his parents house in Bath. She had hoped that she would be able to get out of it but sadly that hadn't been the case. Since they had got married Molly was really convinced that his mother didn't like her. His father was lovely, but his mother... that was one woman she couldn't crack no matter how hard she tried to get Pam to like her.

"You will be fine" he whispered and kissed the top of her head. Charles was a little nervous about this dinner too but he wasn't going to let his wife know that because knowing Molly she would panic and she had already tried on twelve outfits before they even left the house and then went with the original look anyway. It had been a little bit exhausting watching her but in the end they managed to come to a solution.

"You have to say that she is your moth-" the door opened up and Molly put on a smile and she saw the smile slowly start to slide off of Pam's face when she saw Molly and that wasn't the best thing.

"Darling!" Pam pulled Charles into a hug and then patted his back. "I am so happy that you made it" she slowly pulled away and then looked over at Molly "Molly" she smiled slightly and then turned to look back at Charles "You will never guess who is here!" she pulled him into the house by putting her arm through his.

"Hang on mum," he said and then held out his hand for his wife and smiled at her. Charles knew his mother could be difficult and while she liked Rebecca; he had to admit that she wasn't exactly welcoming of Molly. Charles held on to her hand when she walked over to him, after shutting the door. "Now what were you saying? Who has turned up?"

Molly had butterflies in her stomach and she felt like she was going to be in for a rough night, at least Robert liked her so that will make things a little bit easier. She held on to his hand a little bit more tightly and watched as he looked over at her. Her husband, this beautiful man that loved her no matter what.

"Maria, you remember Maria right?" Pam spoke as if he hadn't interrupted her.

"Isn't that Brenda's daughter? Because if that's not who it is then no I don't remember her" Charles spoke.

"Then you do remember her because yes she's Brenda's daughter and she's here all the way from London, she's just broken up with her boyfriend, he was a bit of an asshole from what Brenda was saying"

Charles looked at his mother with a raised eyebrow before shaking his head. "Well I'm sure she will fit in just right here then" he said sarcastically and then said "Excuse me" he then walked towards the dining room with his wife.

"So how many people are going to be here tonight?" Molly whispered to him before they walked in to the dining room and she got her answer and it was quite a lot, they all looked at her and some of them smiled and waved but Brenda definitely didn't and looked at Molly as if she was dirt on the bottom of her shoe. Well this is going to be the worst dinner ever.

"Quite a few" he admitted and then let go of her hand before he turned to her "Shall I take your coat?"

"Oh, yeah, thanks" she muttered and then took her coat off and handed it to him. Charles gave her a soft kiss on the cheek before he walked back out the dining room to hang their coats up, leaving Molly to the awkward talk in the dining room.

Once they were all seated that's really when things got tough for her.

While they were eating there was only limited talk but then in between dinner and dessert things turned a little bit.

"So, Maria, you said that you were working at a big law firm in London?" Pam asked as they all took a break from eating and waited for a bit for dessert.

"Yes, just started there and I feel as though I'm going to like it there definitely" Maria replied and then looked over at Charles "Do you remember me saying about working for a law firm, Charlie?"

Molly raised an eyebrow and glanced over at her husband, everyone tended to call him Charlie but for her it was always Charles. He never liked it when she called him Charlie but it seems as if Elvis wasn't the only one who could call him that.

"I think so" he muttered and smiled politely at Maria before he sat back in his seat and put his arm across the back of Molly's chair. "I'm pretty sure I tried to get through training" he smiled.

"Well I'm sure that they are lucky to have you!" Pam said to Maria and smiled.

"So, what is it you do, Molly?" Maria asked the dark haired young woman that Charlie had brought with him.

"Molly is actually a medic in the Army" Charles beamed with pride and looked over at his wife. He couldn't contain his pride whenever he spoke about this amazing woman at his side. Molly had taught him a lot and while people often said that she was lucky to have someone like him but he thinks that he is the lucky one because she's the best part of him.

"And that's how you two met?" Maria asked and moved her finger between Charles and Molly.

"Yep" Molly smiled.

"That is cute" Maria admitted and gave her a warm smile. "You really are one lucky man for someone like Molly"

"Yes, yes I am" Charles nodded and already knew that.

Molly was having conflicting thoughts about Maria because she seemed genuinely nice and now she was starting to worry that maybe she had got the wrong end of the stick. "Thank you" she finally spoke and smiled back at Maria.

"Dessert time" Pam clapped her hands together "Brenda can you give me a hand?"

"Sure" she said and stood up so quickly that Molly was sure she had been a blur.

"Well things aren't going so badly" Charles turned to Molly while the rest of them talked amongst themselves. "I don't know what you're so worried about" he moved a strand of her hair from her cheek and put it back behind her ear and then kissed her forehead.

"You're right, I gotta use the loo and then I'll be back" Molly stood up and then walked out the dining room and up the stairs to use said toilet.

When Molly came back down it was another matter because as she turned to go into the dining room she could hear the voices from the kitchen and every word actually hurt her.

"I thought you said that she wouldn't be here" Brenda spoke over at Pam who was putting the desserts on different plates.

"Trust me, I thought she might've been overseas, How he is parading her around is actually embarrassing. I thought we could get Maria and Charles together and then get rid of that horrid girl"

"There is still time to get them together, we can work really hard though."

Pam sighed, "When we met her parents, that was bad enough, they all lived in this council house and her family was the laziest i've ever met. Her dad was on the sick even though he could be in work and her mother just kept pushing out kids and who was paying for them to do that? The taxpayers, no she has to go"

Pam was quiet for a moment and then said had said "You know at one point I thought he might've got together with Georgie Lane but she then went on to marry that idiot Elvis so that put a spanner in the works of that!"

Molly felt her heart breaking at every word that was coming out of Pam's mouth and she only made it to the table before the two women came into the dining room and it was the first time that Molly hated the sight of his mother. It was the first time that she wanted to hit the woman with horrible words but she couldn't, not while everyone was here.

Molly didn't feel like eating much after that and how she kept her tears from falling down her cheeks was beyond her and she kept quiet for the rest of the dinner and Charles knew something was up but she wouldn't tell him; how could she tell him what she had overheard especially when it would be her word against his mothers and Brenda was more than likely to back up anything Pam had said anyway.

She knew that from there things were going to be a hell of a lot tougher but she wasn't really prepared for anything.

End of Flashback 1

"And that was what she said? Jeez no wonder you hated his mother, i'm pretty sure I would've hated her if she had said that about my family but something tells me that that is just the start of it"

"Oh it was, because of hearing that your husband was better off with your friend was definitely a tough one to take" she admitted and looked over at Bones. "I really tried to please her but after hearing that I just gave up trying and started letting it get to me," she was already tired then but the rest of the time she had with Charles was going to be equally exhausting. "What do you do when your mother in law really hates you because of the fact that you didn't graduate school or go to college and become a lawyer?"

"You let her get inside your head? I thought you were tougher than that"

"When your mother in law is trying to wreck your marriage after a while you just get really tired of everything; I used to dread going home" Molly admitted and shook her head. "I would rather stay on tours than want to get home because of the fact that out there there wasn't any Pam, there wasn't a Brenda or Maria"

"Sad to say that there will always be Brenda and Pam and Maria out in the world."

"Yeah, I know" Molly knew that there would always be people in this world like those three and more often than not the people like Molly would lose.

"What did the lovely Captain James say about it?"

"He went mad, things got really tense between the two of them but she was his mother and I told him to forgive her..."

"But I take it things got even more worse after that"

"Oh, yeah, the big one" she muttered and sighed before looking out the window once more.

-.-

Flashback 2

Molly looked down at the picture and smiled to herself, she was half excited half terrified because of the fact that this was their first child together but also because of Pam being the bitch that she was. They were just about holding it together and she was hoping that things would be a little bit easier when Charles found out the truth of why she was so grumpy lately.

She had told him that she had things to do but Charles was going to fix a tap at his mothers anyway and for Molly to give him a call when she was done and he would let her know when he would be home.

That was how things were meant to be going but that definitely didn't end up that way.

"I can't stay for long because it's my anniversary and I got something special for Molly, she's doing her own thing right now and I've come to fix your tap" he said and started to clear everything out from underneath the sink.

"Well happy Anniversary" Pam said and it made her feel like she was betraying everything that she had said because of the fact that she didn't want the two of them to be together for much more, she wanted to get Charles and Maria together so that they would make the best couple. At one point she had thought about Georgie Lane being the better girl for her son but clearly that hadn't worked out especially when she had married Elvis.

Charles smiled "You couldn't make us a cuppa could you mum, I am dying for a brew" he stood up and took his phone out of his pocket to put on the table. "Molly will ring when she's done so I better crack on with this" he pointed to the sink.

"Of course I will" Pam smiled and watched as Charles went back to the sink and then she grabbed his phone and put it in her pocket.

If Molly rang then there was no way that he was going to be rushing off so quickly.

So when Molly finished with the hospital she actually rang him but there was no answer. She assumed like most times he had put his phone down and just didn't actually hear it. So she waited for a little bit and then she tried again, this time it went to voicemail straight away and she found that odd because of the fact that Charles never turned his mobile off.

Molly always trusted Charles, that definitely came in to question but it was his mother that she didn't trust because of what a scheming bitch she really was. So Molly tried his mobile again and it went to voicemail once more and then she decided to try the home number that his mother had gave her and it said about the fact that the number wasn't in use anymore. So here Molly was without a way to contact her husband.

It was their anniversary and there was no way she could get in touch with him and she was starting to freak out a little bit inside. She rang Robert's number and the lovely guy answered and said that he was at work but he was definitely sure that Charles had said he was going to the house to fix their sink tap.

Molly had to calm down so she went home and knew that Charles would get in touch with her at some point and when he did well she was going to tell him off for turning his phone off.

When she got home she tried again but the phone was still off so she decided to start prepping for their meal. They hadn't planned to go out but rather stay in and spend the evening together but she knew that she would have the best news for him.

They were having a baby.

In Bath Charles hadn't got anything from Molly so he assumed that she wasn't finished with whatever errand she had to be doing so when Brenda and Maria turned up he stayed and had a natter with them but all the time his mind was on his phone. He had been tempted to ring her but he knew what Molly was like when he disturbed her shopping. So he didn't call her, instead he joined in conversations with the three women and ended up doing other things around the house.

As the day got later she started to cook dinner and she even lit the candles that she had brought especially for dinner. It might sound really sickeningly romantic but it was their anniversary and she wanted it to be special.

The evening got later and later and Molly couldn't help but feel the worst feeling in the pit of her stomach so when she felt her mobile vibrating in her hand and saw the words Charles come up she didn't take the call but rather she blew the candles out and put the dinner in the bin.

It was only a few minutes after that he walked in the door and she was in the kitchen. In their kitchen it was smaller than the one his parents had so that was their main eating area, the kitchen was a kitchen diner so it meant they would eat here. So when Charles had found her in the kitchen with half a melted candle and the table being cleared up he knew that things were definitely not alright here.

"I've been trying to get hold of you" he said and watched Molly who had her back to him.

"That makes two of us" Molly replied and looked at him. "I have been trying to call you since two this afternoon and it kept going to voicemail"

"I had my phone on, it was on the table and there wasn't any missed calls" he said.

Molly scoffed and shooked her head. "Are you saying I'm lying now?"

"No, I'm just saying that my mobile has been on all afternoon and I've not had any missed calls from you"

While she had been sitting at the table she had come to the end of her tether "I.. can't do this anymore" she muttered and chewed on her lip. "This is just getting too much, your mother is coming in between us and she's making our lives so fucking miserable and I don't want to be here anymore"

"Molly, come on, lets eat; you're probably hungry and you will feel better after eating" Charles moved towards her but she moved away.

"I won't feel better after eating because I have reached the end and I have to go, your mother wants you to be with Maria then so be in but I'm so done" she put the tea-towel down and walked out the kitchen and up towards the main bedroom.

"Molly, don't do this" he said and walked up after her.

Molly grabbed her suitcase and started to put her stuff in there. "I have no choice but to do this because if not I will end up resenting you later on" she admitted and looked at him. "And I don't want that, I don't want to be miserable in my marriage and I am, I'm so unhappy and it's all down to your mother" she made sure that she had all her hair products.

There was another reason why she was doing this too and that was down to the fact that she didn't want to raise her child with a grandmother like Pam, because she could just imagine her doting on Sam and hating their child because of the fact that Molly was it's mother. No she had to go and whatever happened after that happened.

"But.. I love you" he told her. Charles gently grabbed hold of her to turn her, she looked up at him and he wanted to hold on to his wife. His mother definitely wasn't an easy person and he had told her that one more poor treatment of Molly then he would make sure that she didn't see him again and honestly he had been so blindesided by it today that he hadn't even realised what his mother had done.

"It's not enough, not anymore" she said and pulled away before throwing the rest of her stuff in the suitcase. If there was anything else that she needed then she would get it when he was out to avoid scenes like this. Molly managed to shut her suitcase and then took it downstairs, grabbed her car keys and walked out the house.

"Molly!" he said and pulled the door open and walked out in to the rain but Molly was in the car already. "Molly!" he yelled this time but she had started the engine and was backing away from the house.

Molly's heart was pounding hard in her chest and she was shivering from the coldness of the rain and from the uncried tears or maybe she was crying she couldn't really tell because the water running from her hair was running down her face too. Really she was in no fit state to drive and she didn't get that far anyway. Molly went and slept in Sarah's spare room.

The next morning she headed back to London and then finally broke down in her mum's arms and told her everything. Including the fact that she was going to be a grandmother.

End of Flashback 2

There was silence in the jeep for a moment because it felt like Bones was trying to wrap his head around what had gone down. "That is..."

"Fucked up?" she asked and glanced over at him once more. "Big time and that is why I tried to keep Adam away from Charles for as long as I could so that my son wouldn't have to suffer at the hands of that bitch" Molly was worried about what would happen now especially when she would eventually have to tell Charles of Adam's existence. Something that she wasn't looking forward to if she's honest.

"But knowing her she will probably try to take me to the courts because I didn't let her see her grandson" Molly shook her head and looked back out the window. It was only then that she realised they were in a different part to where they had been before. "Not going back to the camp?"

"The whole section has been moved out so you're all somewhere else and will be going home after a little decompression" he grinned. "Beers, bikinis, I am so there"

"Yes, you would look good in a bikini but I'm not sure Spanner would" she said quickly and then grinned over at him.

The drive lasted about another twenty minutes more and then they were pulling into the private driveway of a building and she was glad to be out of the camp and off the camp bed. "Thanks for coming to get me today" she said and turned to look at him.

"Just doing my duty" he turned the jeep off and then got out. This place wasn't so bad but he would rather be on a beach right now, sunning it up and having a nice beer but of course with them still being on duty he knew there was no way they would get any beers.

Molly chewed on her lip before she got out the passenger side, Bones was waiting for her and they walked in together and there was her team. They were waiting for her apart from Captain James of course, she was well aware of the fact that he wasn't there. She got hugs from her boys and it felt nice to be back with her section.

Molly was aware of eyes on her and she looked up and caught the eyes of her Captain but also she caught the eyes of the man who she had promised to love for the rest of her life but his mother put a stop to that. She looked away first and then moved from the lobby and was thankful at the fact that she had her own room. That they had brought her stuff with them and that she wouldn't have to be sharing with Richards.

They gave her the key to her room and she headed up straight away. They would probably want to debrief her but for now she shut the door behind her and took the picture out of her pocket. "I'll be home soon sweetheart" she whispered and kissed the picture before she moved away from the door and over on to her bed.
