Nearly a month went by since Harry had been attacked and David and Carol had received the anonymous call but nothing else had gone on thankfully. Harry was now out of hospital and back to his old self much to Carol and David's relief. Olympia was frequently visiting him which annoyed David to the point of wanting to put his hands over her throat with her posh voice and criticising views. The twins were now four months old and developing their features. Jessica was dark haired and blue eyed while Charlie was blonde haired with hazel eyes.
At the end of the month, Harry called David because he had an announcement to make and as David was getting Charlie dressed while Carol focused on Jessica, he remarked,
"Wonder what Uncle Harry's big news is?",
Carol shrugged, "Who knows? But it sounded like a good announcement so let's find out what it is." She finished putting Jessica's little shoes on and held her to her. Jessica kicked her little legs and smiled at Carol who cuddled her to her. David smiled at them and led his wife and twins outside to the car.
When they arrived Harry was already standing in the doorway waiting for them. "Hello you two!", He called happily, "Come inside. Olympia will be here in a minute." David groaned at the mention of Olympias name and Carol nudged him in the ribs. "Please, don't make a scene." She whispered, taking his hand while pushing the pram. When they reached the living room, Harry gave them both a whiskey while he kept glancing out of the window, waiting for Olympia to arrive.
Finally, fifteen minutes later, she rang the doorbell dressed in a sparkly black dress with her hair newly styled. Harry smiled at her, "Hello my darling.", He exclaimed and Olympia smiled at him, uploading her hand out to him which he kissed. David made vomit noises behind them and Carol kicked him, "behave!", she muttered furiously. She then took his hand, "I know you don't like her but try and be civil for Harry's sake." David nodded then Carol smiled at him flirtatiously, "I'll make it worth your while when we get home." She whispered, caressing his thighs. David grinned at her and leaned in to kiss her when Harry opened the door and Olympia followed. She smiled at Carol and David which only Carol returned. Olympia Sat on the sofa and David noticed that she didn't look pleased to see the pram there.
"Right now that your here, I've got an announcement to make." Harry said happily, Carol and David were almost on the edge of their seat, wanting to know what the happy news was and for a split second David thought that Harry had won the lottery judging the smart clothes that he was wearing. Then after a while, Harry announced,
"Olympia and I are engaged to be married!"
Carols Jaw dropped and both Olympia and Harry took this as the fact that she was happy for them. But David looked thunderous.
"I don't believe this! How can you contemplate marrying this woman?!", He shouted and Harry looked taken aback while Olympia was offended.
"What do you mean? What's the matter with Olympia?",Harry asked in a shocked got his feet while Carol kept a hold on his arm, trying to sit him back down.
"That woman is only after your money Harry. Can't you see that? Or are you that stupid?!", David yelled while Carol looked on, knot knowing what to do. Harry looked furious.
"How dare you?! My Olympia is a good honest woman! She's done a lot for me!", He shouted, standing in front of Olympia as if he was protecting her.
"Oh yeah?! Well if she's a good honest woman, why did she convince you to change district nurses?!", David asked furiously. Harry felt the anger rising inside him as he grabbed David's by his shirt collar.
"She was acting in my best interests! And I think you've said enough!", Harry yelled. Then David grabbed Harry's arm.
"I don't why your thinking about marriage at your age. I know you've always wanted to settle down with someone but is a money grabbing old bitch the best you can do!"
David had finally gone to far. The fist that connected with his face seconds later sent him flying across the room. He landed on the carpet with Carol screaming as blood ran down his nose. The twins began crying and David staggered over to them, with Carol keeping hold of his arms. Harry's face was red with rage and Olympia was frightened, not understanding why David hated her so much.
"Get out of my house and don't come back till you accept that I'm with Olympia and will be so till the day I die." Harry muttered angrily. David immediately obeyed with Carol pushing the pram behind him, the babies having calmed down.
When they got home, David immediately went into the living room and sank onto the sofa, feeling emotionally exhausted. Carol took the babies one by one upstairs, putting them to bed then came downstairs fifteen minutes later, wearing her dressing gown.
"You went to far tonight." Carol said honestly. David sighed heavily.
"I don't trust that woman,Carol. She's a money grabber if there ever was one. She criticized us for having the twins so late and she convinced Harry to sack his district nurse even though she was good at her job. She's got him wrapped round her little finger and he won't find fault with her." David said furiously, laying his head on the arm of the chair. Carol, who knew that David had meant well, began stroking his hair.
"Why is it, every time I try to look out for someone it gets thrown back in my face?", he mumbled, tears forming in his eyes. Carol wiped them away and sat next to him, gently bringing his head onto her chest kissing it. She began humming softly as David cuddled into her, enjoying her softness.
"I know you mean well David but he wants to marry her and that's his decision." She said softly, cuddling him and kissing him as if he were a baby needing his mother's love.
They were in bed a few minutes later, the kisses and cuddles having made them both very aroused. Carol and David were bathing in post sex afterglow and sleeping softly as their twins also slept nearby. David thought about Olympia. Harry had mentioned that she had connections in Walford but David didn't know what he had meant.
But if Harry wasn't going to tell him, then he would find out himself.
