The pair sat side by side as the tale was told.
" Jack was my boyfriend at collegd, we were engaged once, we were all set to be married then he disappeared", Annie listened in disbeleif her mother and The Joker! " I was pregnant by this time and about a month after Hannah was born, he turned up, smiling like he always did" She sighed wistfully "He was so romantic, he apologized endlessly for leaing, saying there had been a family incident. He promised to stay with me and hannah forever then . . ." A sob caught in her throat ". . . then he laft a week later, taking by baby with him . . . I phoned the police, filed missing person reports, phoned everyone I thought could find him. . . I tried for so long but nothing worked. He'd disappeared completely with my little girl . . ."
Annie silently passed her the tissues, once the tears had subsided she continued,
"I met Jim at a friend's birthday a year or so later we got on well and we started going out, I never told him about Jack or Hannah, another year went by and I moved in with Jim and on our three years together anniversary he proposed and . . . I accepted " She paused lost in the past's pleasent memories " A few months after the wedding Jim had to go away on a training weekend. I was alone in the flat when the doorbell rang, I I opened it and jack was standing in the hallway" She paused again thinking "I might have fainted, because the next thing I remember is lying on the sofa listening to him making tea. He walked into the room followed by a little girl dressed in a purple dress, as soon as I saw her i knew it was my little Hannah " Princess, say hello tho mummy" He said as if this happened everyday, I asked him why he was here, he said "My princess asked to meet the Queen" then he ... he . . . he" More tears flowed "He kissed me and I . . . let him I didn't try to stop him, even after all the pain he'd caused I still loved him. . . he made it clear he wanted more and I let him have more"
She hugged her knees to her chest "He left the next day with Hannah again . . . when I saw the + sign on the test I knew you were his . . . I'm sorry" Annie looked into her Mother's eyes
"I forgive you . . . Is there no way?" Her mother shook her head "I had every test done but no change" She wiped her eyes with another wad of tissues and took a deep, shaky breath "Annie, who told you about this?"
"Hannah told me"
"My Hannah?" Annie nodded, eyes closed wishing with all her might that it was all a nightmare, that she'd wake up in the flat the daughter of of a deceased police commisioner, instead of the daughter of a dead psychopath and sister to a murderess.
