"Sexual and phial abuse" said Miriam sipping her tea
"What, to who" said Dylan
Miriam looked down and put her hands on her bump, Dylan could see the tears in her eyes
"Did he do this to you?" said Dylan looking at Miriam's bump
"Yea" said Miriam
"Why didn't you tell anyone?" said Dylan
"Look at this" said Miriam
Miriam showed Dylan the hand prints on her arm
"They are from 4 months ago, he crushed and broke both my wrists" said Miriam
Dylan placed his hand on Miriam's
"You know that you have friends here that will help you" he said
Miriam smiled
"Gave me your hand" she said
She took Dylan's hand and placed it on her bump, Dylan could feel the baby kick and he smiled
"When is your husband out" said Dylan
"3 weeks time" said Miriam
"Where are you going to live then" said Dylan
"Somewhere, I don't know" said Miriam
"Well you can stay with me" said Dylan
