AN Author note

AN: wow! I'm amazed at the response in terms of many people adding this story. Its really encouraging! Ok as before I own nothing! It all belongs to channel 7 In Australia!! Anyway! On with the show!

"I thought you'd be happy!" Rachel spoke with concern in her voice. Most woman were delighted to hear that they were pregnant. In fact all the married woman that she ever encountered where delighted to find out that they were pregnant. This was a new encounter for her.

"Maddie can you leave the room?" asked Cassie. Matilda nodded as she waited in the waiting room

"You see the baby isn't Macca's!" cried Cassie. Rachel began to listen. "It was a night I ran to talk to Lucas when Macca had left for a month not before hitting me again..." said Cassie.

"Macca has been hitting you again?" asked Rachel. Cassie nodded.

"It's Lucas's baby! I don't know what to do! When Macca find out he'll demand I get an abortion and punish me for being such a slut..." cried Cassie.

"You're not a slut and you defiantly should be having to put up with this. It's your choice what you do with this child wither it be abortion, adoption or you keeping the child or in your case children" said Rachel

"I won't get an abortion!! no way" strongly defended Cassie.

"You don't need to decide just now. I will refer you to some anti-natal class should you decided to keep the babies and regular scan to see how they cope!!" smiled Rachel.

"Thank you Rachel" smiled Cassie through her tears. Rachel handed her tissues and Cassie left wiping her eyes. Matilda stood up to escort her friend out of the surgery.

Both of them walked along the beach. They both were silent. Matilda finally broke the silence with a laugh. Cassie looked at her weirdly.

"Sorry it just dawned on me! We're both going to have children around the same time!" commented Matilda. Cassie smiled.

"I know. Matilda I have to tell you something! Why I cheated on Macca and also who the babies's dad is" spoke Cassie. Matilda listened intensely.

"You see Macca's...abusing me again! For the first six months I thought it was going to work. Macca loved me and he was getting on well and I was meant to be a housewife. That's what woman did. Then he started to turn. He lost his job driving trucks because of a drunk driving allegation which turned out to be true. He started to take weed. He got a new job as a roadie member of some band and he says I've to stay home and be the house wife. Cook for him coming home! Eventually raise kids. For a while I was branded useless because I couldn't conceive. When I got my time of the months back. Macca got excited. He made me have sex with him to get me pregnant. He didn't know I was taking morning after pill. When he found out. He threw them away and tried to drown me. I was in hospital but he told the hospital I was in the bath and slipped and that why my face was bruised." explained Cassie. Matilda was in shock. She felt she let down her best friend again. Letting the monster hurt her again.

"The day after I got home form hospital, when you went to Paris, Macca punched me before leaving for America. Since you and Ric were away. I ran to Lucas." explained Cassie. Matilda looked in shock.

"It's Lucas's! The babies are Lucas's?" asked Matilda. This made Cassie cry even more.

"Cassie! Lucas is crazy about you! This is you chance to run away from Macca!" explained Matilda. Cassie shook her head.

"Macca will kill me , the babies and Lucas when he finds out! I don't know what to do" cried Cassie.

"You need to tell Macca! He's going to figure out some day. No offense its going to be quickly. I mean you have the beginnings of a huge bump already!" said Matilda. Cassie laughed.

"You have a cheek to talk Mattie! You only have one child and you look the same as me! In fact you look slightly bigger" said Cassie. Matilda did have a point but all Macca said recently was that she was fat!

"Actually I'm pregnant with twins as well." said Matilda. This made the two girls scream.

"Anyways I'm around to talk if you need me . After all we're both going to be going through the same thing!" smiled Matilda. Cassie smiled back.

"Thanks Mattie! I better go see ya!" smiled Cassie as she walked away. She held her hand on her stomach.

"Looks like its our battle. The three of us!" said Cassie to her stomach. She felt a sense of peace since leaving the surgery. Maybe being a mum wasn't as scary as she originally thought.

She got into the apartment. Macca still wasn't home. She lay on her bed. The day had really taken a lot out of her. She drifted of into a sleep.

"Cassie! Cass!" shouted Macca. Cassie didn't wake up from her sleep. Macca came into the room as he watched his wife sleep. He noticed her top raised slightly to show her stomach. He had noticed that his wife had been getting a bit chunky. Oddly it was only her stomach and chest that was getting huge. He gave a second glance at he stomach. I looked more rounded than flabby. Wait. She can't be. Can she?

"Cassie! Wake up!" gently spoke Macca as he woke up his wife. Cassie stirred to sit up.

"Cassie can I ask you something?"asked Macca. Cassie nodded.

"Are you pregnant?" asked Macca. Cassie nodded. Macca smiled.

"Amazing! I'm going to be a dad!" screamed Macca. Cassie gave a fake smiled. He turned around and gave Cassie a slap.

"Why didn't you tell me?" he spoke angrily. Macca had chanced form a smiling loving husband excited to be a dad to a raven maniac.

"I found out today!" cried Cassie. Macca hit her again.

"You really are stupid Cassie. Then again you are a fat, useless woman!" spat Macca as he lifted Cassie.

"You could make me loss the babies if you drop me! Could cause me to miscarry" strongly said Cassie. She had to protect them.

"Babies? There is more than one?" asked Macca angrily. Cassie nodded. He dropped her any way. Cassie felt more shock than any pain. Macca hit her in the face twice and then kicked her face.

"I'm away to the pub" snorted Macca. Leaving Cassie on the floor. Crying. Bruised. Beaten up. Once again. Cassie felt it was all her fault.

Oh dear! turns out Macca can't even be happy for Cassie being pregnant.
