Connie pulled up in front of the building she and the two girls sat and stared at it before she began to speak.
"Right then girls let's get out the car" she said removing her seatbelt and opening the car door.
The two girls for once did as she said both a bit confused as to what was going on and why they were here.
Connie took her little girls hands and headed to the front door of the building.
When they got inside Connie pulled the girls a little closer as she walked past people well below her standards and headed to the front desk.
"Connie beauchump, I received a letter asking me to come in" Connie said to the rest receptionist .
"For what?" the lady asked
"An initial assessment" Connie told her.
"I'm sorry" the receptionist said having missed what she said, Connie and the girls gave her a look.
"An initial assessment" Connie repeated.
"Please take a seat" the receptionist said.
Connie lead the girls to three spare seats and they all sat down.
"Why are we here?" Savannah asked
"To be honest I'm not entirely that sure myself" Connie answered.
A couple of minutes later a women came into the room.
"Mrs Beauchamp" she called.
Connie and the girls stood up and followed the women into a room.
"Please take a seat" the women said to them.
They sat down and the women poured some tea for Connie and herself.
"Look I don't want to waste any of your time I mean I sure you have far more pressing work as do I " Connie said to the woman.
"Mrs Beauchamp I'm afraid we received a phone call about your children's welfare" the women said.
Savannah and Grace both look worriedly at Connie.
"From whom?" Connie asked.
"I really can't say but they were very concerned and so it is something we must follow up and take seriously" the lady replied.
"Surely you can see everything is fine"
"I'd like to speak to the girls alone" the woman said as the Girls looked up from their phones.
"Surely that's not necessary" Connie said.
"We won't be long" the woman said, so Connie got up and walked out the room.
"So girls" the lady said.
"Are you going to take us away from our mum" Savannah asked a cold icy look on her face.
"No, no not at all we're just a bit worried about you two that's all" the woman told them.
"Right" savnnah said knowing she was waiting for them to spill out all the details
"well we are perfectly fine aren't we Grace" Savannah told the woman before turning to look at her sister.
"Yes we're fine" Grace said quietly.
"Grace its okay to say what to tell me if its not" the woman said noticing how it seemed to be Savannah doing the talking.
"Well its just" Grace started to say as Savannah gave her a long hard look.
"She is just really busy all the time and doesn't really care" Grace said.
"Grace" Savannah said annoyed at her sister knowing that what she was saying could get there mum in seriously trouble and although savnnah tended to hate Connie she would rather have her than be stuck in a care home with no one
"I'm sorry she tends to say stuff she doesn't mean isn't that right Grace" Savnnah said staring at her.
Grace nodded her head in response.
"Well If you don't mind i'd like to see my mum now" Savannah said before picking up her bag and leaving Grace following her.
The woman got up and followed them out the room.
As they approached reception Connie saw them and stood up
"We're done then" Connie said.
"For now, I'll be In Touch soon with some thoughts" the woman told her.
"I'm sorry but what else could you possibly need to know" Connie said irritated.
"This is the initial assessment, I think we may need to speak further Mrs Beachump" the woman said looking at the two girls.
"Right girls sit down for a minute mummy won't be Long okay" Connie said smiling at them before leading the other woman off.
"Look I don't know What they told you but their two young girls growing up very fast and of course they hate me sometimes I'm the mother its just natural" Connie told the woman.
"Look I'm not talking about the occasional row I'm aware that a normal"
"Yes, so what are you talking about because unless you suggest I beat them they are in no danger at all" Connie told her
"No not at all" the lady answered.
"Well then forgive me because this is starting to seem like an I'll advised use of professional energy"
"Physical abuse is just one way children can be harmed Miss Beachump sadly there are many others" The woman stated.
Connie snorted.
"I'm not trying to be inflammatory but I really need you to understand the gravity of the situation Miss Beachump"
Connie gave her a look before walking over to the girls.
"Right come on darlings we're going now.
The girls stood up and took there mums hand before walking out with her.
They got in the car and headed to Audrey's
"Right well have a good day and be good for Grandma Audrey okay" Connie said.
Grace got out the car but Savannah stayed put.
"On you go sweetheart" Connie said to her.
"Why does that woman want see us again" Savannah said turning round to face Connie.
"Its nothing for you to worry about darling okay" Connie said trying to reassure not only her daughter but herself too.
So savannah grabbed her bag and got out the car and headed towards Audrey's, knowing her mum had lied once again.
