Lawson automatically pulled Shannon into his embrace hoping that Shannon wouldn't collapse or anything as he felt her stiffen, Shannon nodded her head before turning to Lawson
"Hey Sara" said Lawson stepping aside so that he could let her in, he looked at Shannon as he did so asking her through his eyes if it was okay, she quickly nodded before also stepping aside "Come in" said Lawson leading Shannon to the lounge.
"Um not to be rude or anything how do you know my name?" asked Sara confused as she wiped more tears away from her face
"When you were born I was dating Shannon that's how I know you" said Lawson as he pulled Shannon towards his side, Sara nodded her head before looking between the pair, she talked again before Lawson or Shannon could say anything
"Um so do you know why I am here?" asked Sara another tear slid down her face
"No" said Shannon "My mother rung me the other day when you spoke to her to talk to me but she said you didn't tell her anything" said Shannon confused
"Um okay well my dad came and spoke to me a couple of weeks ago, he said that you had die at work so when I spoke to your mum I decided that I wanted to see who you where and stuff" said Sara trailing
"Why would your dad say that?" asked Shannon looking confused
"Um he said that he had heard it I don't know why he would say it but it still doesn't mean that I don't want to see you" said Sara trailing of again
"I am sorry, I just am surprised that you want to see me I abandoned you and you aren't angry at me at all"
"No I am not Shannon; I know that you would have had a good reason to adopt me out. Plus you don't see me coming here with bruises or broken bones my adoptive parents are really nice and are always there for me so don't worry about you thinking that I hate you or whatever" said Sara seriously the tears had stopped leaving trails down her face.
"Okay and thank you. I was only young when I had you I couldn't provide for you and your father didn't want me to keep you and follow through with the pregnancy that is why he hit me, I was scared and Lawson looked after me I tried to get a job but I needed to get a full time job to look after you and I was only seventeen and completing my HSC I am sorry"
"Shannon don't be sorry I know why I did it and it isn't your fault, okay?" said Sara looking over at Shannon again "I go to a really good school, I have good friends and I do running so Shannon everything is okay" said Sara trying to convince Shannon already.
"Okay just making sure" said Shannon as she felt Lawson rub her arm.
