Wilson helped October to the couch and helped her sit down. House glared at the two detectives and sat down beside her. He wished he would have stuck with the first plan and made them stand out in the hall way. Wilson sat down on the other side of October.
October looked up at the detectives; she wondered if she should tell them about the phone calls and him hitting her. She knew that her dad would be mad at her for not telling him about them as soon as she knew about them. She sighed and looked down at her hands.
"He called me today…"
Olivia sighed and looked at October. "When?"
She looked up at her and brushed the tears off her face with her hand. "This morning while I was at the hospital…he called four times and left voice mails."
"What did he say?" Elliot asked.
October picked her cell phone up off the coffee table and dialed the number to her voice mail. She pressed in the pass word and turned on speaker phone. She laid it on the coffee table and let everyone listen to the voice mail. She pulled her knees up to her stomach and wrapped her arms around her knees as she listened to them.
House and Wilson both glared at her for not telling them sooner. October ignored everyone's stares by laying her head on her knees. She wished she hadn't said anything she knew that in the long run it was worse that she did. She whipped more tears off her face and looked up once the last voice message ended.
She picked up her phone and closed it. She looked up at the detectives wondering if they even cared about what he said on the voice mail. Olivia looked worriedly over at Elliot then she looked back at October.
"We can put an unmarked car outside of the building until your husband is arrested."
"No thanks; we'll be fine just let me know when you find him…"
Elliot nodded. "We will…"
October stood up and walked into her bedroom and sat down on the bed beside Cuddy and Hannah. Cuddy smiled worriedly at her when she seen she'd been crying; October smiled the best she could and looked down at Hannah. She didn't want her to be anywhere near her until David was behind bars.
He knew where they were and he was probably planning on showing up some time with in the next few days. She reached her arms out to Hannah. Hannah leaned over October's arms.
October picked her up and put her on her lap. She hugged her and kissed the top of her head. Hannah knew something was wrong; she could tell by the way her mom was shaking and by the way she was acting. Hannah looked up at her mom and frowned.
"Mommy what's wrong?"
October brushed Hannah's hair out of her face. "Nothing honey; I'm just a little upset…Do you mind if I talk to Aunt Cuddy for a minute?"
Hannah looked over at Cuddy then nodded. "Thanks sweetie, go in the living room and see what your grandpa and uncle Wilson is doing."
"Okay…" Hannah said softly.
October helped Hannah on to the floor. She kissed her forehead before she ran into the living room. She stopped instantly when she saw that the two strangers from before were still there. Elliot walked over to her and knelt down in front of her. She took a few small steps backwards.
Hannah looked over at House and Wilson then looked back at Elliot. He smiled softly at her. She looked down at the floor then back up at him. She didn't know wither or not she should trust him or not. Her grandpa didn't want him to come in; and her mommy looked sad when she finished talking to them.
"My name is Elliot; what's your name?"
"Hannah…"
Elliot smiled. "What happened to your eye?"
"I fell…Can I go see my grandpa now?"
Elliot nodded and smiled at her. Hannah slightly smiled back before she ran past him and climbed on the couch in between House and Wilson. Elliot stood up and walked over to Olivia. He looked over at House and Wilson.
"We'll let you know when we catch him."
House nodded at them and they both smiled at everyone. They both walked over to the door and opened it. They left and shut the door behind them.
October looked down at her hands and sighed. She wasn't sure how to tell Cuddy about what the cops had told her. She wasn't even sure if she would be able to without sobbing. She sighed and shook her head. She looked up at Cuddy and started crying again. She felt stupid for not being able to last five minutes without crying.
"The cops were here because they found three women who were rapped and beaten. Each one had a note stapled to their chest. One had my name; on had Hannah's…and the third had my dad's name and address on it…I need you to take Hannah home with you tonight so if anything does happen she'll be safe…I couldn't live with myself if anything happened to her…"
Cuddy whipped the tears off Octobers face and wrapped her arm around her. "Of course I will."
October hugged her back and sobbed. She blamed her self for those women being raped, and beaten. If she hadn't left none of it would've ever happened. Those women would be safe and unharmed and no one she loved would be in danger. Cuddy rubbed October's back with her hand.
October forced her self to calm down. She pulled away and stood up. She walked over to the suit cases and the book bag that were lying in the middle of the floor. She sat down on the floor and emptied out the book bag on to the floor. She opened the suitcases and dug threw them all and found Hannah three out fits and three sleepers.
She shoved them in the book bag and go some socks, underwear and pull ups out and shoved them in there as well. She zipped up the bag and stood up. She picked it up and laid in it on the bed beside Cuddy. Cuddy stood up and hugged October. She rubbed her back with her hand. October laid her head on her shoulder and hugged her back.
"Take care of my baby…"
"I will sweetie don't worry."
They hugged for a few more seconds before they both pulled away. Cuddy picked up the book bag and threw it over her shoulder. October walked out in the living room. She smiled when she seen Hannah playing hot hands with her dad. Cuddy walked in behind her shortly after.
Wilson looked up at them and smiled. "Don't worry I already got a picture of it."
House glared at Wilson. "There is a good chance that you will get hit in the head with a large can shaped object if you don't stop taking a picture of me every five minutes."
"Dad!" October snapped for what seemed like the hundredth time that day.
House just rolled his eyes and continued playing with Hannah. October smiled and watched for a few seconds before she remembered what she was doing. She smiled and walked over closer to the couch.
"Hannah, do you want to go stay the night with Aunt Cuddy tonight?"
Hannah smiled. "Yeah!... Are you coming mommy?"
"No sweetie I'm going to stay here with grandpa."
"Can my bear come with me?" October smiled.
"Of course."
Hannah smiled and looked over at Cuddy. "Okay…"
Hannah stood up on the couch and wrapped her arms around House's neck. She kissed him on the cheek and laid her head on his shoulder. House hugged her neck and kissed the back of her head. Wilson went to grab for his camera but House quickly grabbed his cane and hit his hand to stop him.
Everyone laughed; Hannah pulled away and looked around to see why everyone was laughing. She looked at her mom confused before looking back at House.
"Bye grandpa; I love you."
"I love you too Hannah Bear. Do me a favor while you're with Aunt Cuddy? Be very very bad…"
"Dad! Stop telling her these things!"
House rolled his eyes and looked Hannah and smiled. Hannah smiled back and walked over to Wilson and repeated the same thing she had done with House.
"Bye Uncle Wilson; I love you;"
"I love you too sweetie."
Wilson hugged her back when she pulled away he kissed her on the forehead. She smiled at Wilson. She got on her knees and slid back wards off the couch. She ran over to October. October knelt down and picked her up and hugged her. Hannah hugged her neck and kissed her on the cheek.
"I love you mommy!"
"I love you too baby girl. Be good."
"I will mommy."
October kissed her cheek and put her down on the floor. "Let me go get your bear."
October walked into the bedroom and picked up Hannah's teddy bear off the bed. She walked back out into the living room and handed the bear to Hannah. She smiled and hugged Cuddy.
"Thanks Aunt Cuddy."
"No problem; the ultrasound pictures are on you dresser by the way."
October nodded. "I love you."
"I love you too. Be careful"
"I will."
Cuddy smiled and grabbed Hannah's hand. She walked out the front door and shut it behind her. October walked into the bedroom and picked up Hannah's baby book and the ultrasound pictures. She walked into the kitchen and got the scissors and scotch tape out of one of the drawers. She grabbed a pen of the counter and walked into the living room.
She sat down in the middle and opened the baby book. She flipped through the pages until she found the first blank page in the back of the book. She cut the ultrasound pictures apart and picked out the best on. She tapped it in the middle of the page and wrote the date in the right hand corner.
She picked up the remaining pictures and handed one to Wilson and one to House. She smiled and closed the baby book. She laid everything on the table then leaned back against the back of the couch. She looked over at Wilson and sighed.
"Are you staying the night?"
"Yes he is!" House said before Wilson could respond. "If David does come by I'm going to need help…October I want you to hide if he does come."
"I'm sorry dad I can't do that. I can't let you two get hurt because of me…that's why I sent Hannah to Aunt Cuddy's for the night…I can't let anyone else get hurt because of me."
"It's my job to protect you! I'm not going to get hurt; I just need to make sure that you're not going to get hurt either promise me you'll hide if he shows up."
"I wish I could dad but I can't; I'm sorry. I can't risk letting you and Uncle Wilson getting hurt because of me. I'm tired of everyone else having to pay because I made a bad choice and married him."
"October, your not just risking your life but your risking the babies life's too. You only need to worry about them. Me and Wilson will be fine but you have to hide if he shows up!"
October sighed; "I can't promise you anything." She stood up and hugged House and Wilson. "I'm going to bed goodnight love you."
October walked into her bedroom and closed the door. She turned the light off and laid down in her bed. She closed her eyes and fell asleep.
October's eyes shot open from the sound of loud bangs coming from the living room. She looked over at the clock and felt her heart sink into her stomach when she seen it was three thirty in the morning. She knew without a doubt that it was David. She stood up and ran to the door and opened it.
She looked down the hall into the living room and seen Wilson standing at the door looking out the peep hole. He rushed down the hall towards House's room. She heard a lot of movement then she seen House and Wilson come out of the room. House looked over at October.
"Get in your room and shut the door!"
"But dad!"
"I'm not arguing about this just do it!" House and Wilson walked into the living room House picked up the phone and dialed 911. "I need help! My daughter's ex husband is trying to break in! I live in Oakwood apartments! Apartment 3C!"
House hung the phone up and starred at the door. Hoping the door would hold until the police got there. October starred into the living room. She wanted to run in but she couldn't. She couldn't move and she could barley breath. She watched Wilson and her dad yell at him threw the door but she couldn't understand what they were saying.
Everything just seemed to be going in slow motion. October could feel her heart beating in her chest. October slowly forced herself to walk into the living room. House and Wilson were to busy yelling at David to go away to notice she was in the room. The door finally busted in and David charged into the living room.
He punched House and looked over at October. He smirked at October and walked over to Wilson. They fought but David was stronger and a better fighter. He finally got Wilson on the ground and was choking him.
October ran over to the coffee table and grabbed the scissors. She ran over to David she raised the scissors above his back and stabbed him in the back. David screamed and rolled off of Wilson on to his side.. October fell on her hands and knees and sobbed. She looked over at House and seen that he wasn't awake.
"DADDY!"
October frantically crawled over to House. She started shaking him trying to wake him up. Wilson rushed over to them and put two fingers on House's neck. House slightly opened his eyes and rolled over on his back. He looked over at October.
"Are you okay?"
"Yeah…I'm fine daddy."
October hugged House's neck as the cops came running into the apartment. The sound of their foot steps was the best sound she ever heard. She sat up and kissed House on his cheek and looked over the paramedic's a cops hovering around David. It was finally over.
