Carefully carrying a sleeping Jacob in his arms, Joseph turnt the key in his old house. It was like stepping back in time. He wished that he had stayed with Jac, but he had to do this for Jacob. Spending a few days without Jac and the twins was sure going to be tough. He just hoped that Jac understood. Walking through the down stairs of the house mad Joseph think about to the pain and the hurt Faye caused him. The house they brought together was meant to be filled with love and happiness but instead it was filled with lies and regret.

The house was pretty much the same as it was when he lived there. She still had the same furniture and everything. It was like she kept everything just to be nearer to Joseph. Strolling along kitchen, he found a couple of photo frames. They had always been there even when they were together. The photo's consisted of their pair on their wedding day. A photo of Joseph and Archie before he passed away. Stroking the photo frames with his fingers, Joseph knew that these era was in the past.

'daddy' A little voice whispered.

Joseph turnt around to find the little boy stood in the door way, picking the little boy up in his arms. Making his way upstairs and into Faye's bedroom. Joseph placed a now sleeping Jacob under the covers. Even the bedroom still looked the same, the walls were still plastered in vintage wallpaper which had the same diagonal pattern. Faye hadn't changed this house at all. Gently pulling back the duvet, he slipped Jacob underneath them and kissed his head. Turning round to go out the door, Joseph stopped at the sight of the Door. Hanging on the back of the door was his wedding suit. It was a black trouser suit, the white shirt and grey patterned tie hung neatly underneath the suit jacket. Shaking his head Joseph silently left the door ajar and dragged his body downstairs.

Jac awoke to the sound of crying, glancing at the alarm clock as it read 11:50. She didn't remember how she fell asleep but knew it was something she didn't want to remember. Throwing the covers off her body, Jac wondered into the twins room wearing an overly sized t-shirt which was most probably Joseph's. The t-shirt didn't compliment her figure like her other clothes did.

Staring into the cot were a unsettled Amelia laid, she stroked her fists hoping she would calm herself down. However it had the opposite effect. She began to cry louder, quickly scooping her up in her arms, Jac walked back into her bedroom and over to the window slowly rocking her back and forth.

'Mia please stop crying' Jac sighed as she held Amelia against her shoulder rubbing her back.

She gaze over to her clock 1:00am. She had been trying to calm Amelia down for the past hour and ten minute. She tried absolutely everything. Going through the list in her head she checked for dirty nappy, hunger and wing. Nothing. She tried singing to her and rocking her. Jac even made the funny faces and noises that would normally make her smile. Still Nothing.

Propping herself up with a pillow, Jac rested on the bed with Amelia still whimpering in her arms . Her blue eyes were puffy and tired as she held her fists to her eyes. Grabbing a blanket, she held it in front of Amelia. She instantly held up her little fist's and held onto the blanket. The crying had stopped when the blanket was held close to Amelia's body.

For a split second Amelia stopped crying, her tied eyes staring back at Jac. She tilted her hand onto the pillow, closing closing her eyes she began to rest. Finally she thought that Amelia had worn herself out, oh no. The sound of crying once again pierced through Jac's ear drums, She lifted Amelia into her arms and hoisted herself off the bed.

'What am I going to do with you?'

Carefully slipping her dressing gown over the t-shirt. Jac walked down stairs and placed Amelia in her bouncer before going to the kitchen. Within seconds, Amelia was screaming at the top of her lungs. Rushing back into the lounge she lifted her screaming daughter into her arms. Jac felt exhausted. Doing this on her own was a struggle. She just prayed that Ethan would stay asleep. Coping with two crying babies who craved their father's comfort would be impossible.

'You want Daddy don't you?'

Resting Amelia in the crook of her shoulder, letting the soft tears from her eyes fall on her t-shirt, Jac hesitating over the house phone before she dialled Joseph's number.

'hello? Whoever is calling I hope you know its nearly twenty past 1'
'Joe, its me'
'Jac? What's up? What's all that racket in the background?'
'It's Amelia. She's been none stop crying for the past hour and a half. I've tried everything but she just won't stop'
'I'll be round in a few'

Jac stood at the window waiting for Joseph to arrive. Amelia was still screaming in her arms. It was clear that she wasn't going to stop crying until she was in the comfort of her dad. Swaying her back and forth in her arms, Jac was beginning to get restless. Her arms were becoming increasingly weak; perhaps it was the side effect from holding a agitated baby for hours on end. A constant pounding was going through Jac's head, with her free hand she placed two fingers against her temple and applied pressure in hope it would reduce the pain. Shifting Amelia into her other arm, she let out a scream and arched her back making it harder for Jac to keep her still. She had well and truly got herself into a state. Hearing a car door slam, Jac pulled back the curtain and saw Joseph making his way from the car to the door. The sound of his key turning in the lock made Jac feel that tiny bit safer.

Joseph made his way into the lounge. There she was. His wife stood by the window, their screaming daughter in her arms. Her legs were kicking wildly in the air, her screams were getting louder each time. Joseph stretched his arms out as he picked his pace up and rushed towards Jac. Lifting Amelia into his arms, her big eyes stared back at him, it took her a minute to recognise was holding her. Her eyes widened as she realised it was her daddy holding her. Her breathes began to slow down as she relaxed in her fathers embrace. He slowly rocked his arms trying to the sooth Amelia. Walking over to the sofa, he sat down shifting Amelia's position on his arms. Her little body was close to his chest; so close that he could feel her heartbeat.

The sound of silence filled the room. After just a few minutes, Amelia was finally sleeping. All she wanted was a hug from her dad. Jac's eyes widened as she realised the cries had stopped, Joseph was still slumped on the edge of the sofa with their now sleeping daughter curled up in his arms. He pointed his arm in the direction of the stairs as he slowly hoisted himself of the sofa and took a sleeping Amelia to bed.

Gently Joseph lowered Amelia into the cot, putting her blanket by her face he planted a soft kiss on her forehead. Stepping quietly to Ethan's cot, he peered down at his son. His eyes shut as he was deep sleep, his hands were clasped around a teddy as his chest rise and fell with the motion of his breathes. He found himself smiling as he watched his two babies sleep.

'They really miss you, you know' Jac whispered as she crept up behind Joseph.

'I don't know what I was thinking, there would have been enough room here for Jacob right?'

'I guess so, but hay it's been done, you had to it for Jacob'

Taking her hand Joseph led Jac back down the stairs. Sitting down beside her Joseph looked Jac up and down, he could feel her emotion run straight threw him. He told her she'd never have to be alone, he would never leave her and that she wouldn't have to feel unwanted again. He felt like he had let her down, he had left her own her own with the twins to look after. What was he thinking.

'I've made a massive mistake Jac'

'You did what you had to do'

'I could of done that here, I shouldn't of left you on your own'

'Well you did, its alright'

'I guess we could have Jacob here for the few days while Faye is still in hospital?'

'You'll have to look after him and the twins then, I start work again tomorrow'

'Hanssen did cut my hours, so its cool. When you leave for work I'll go and pick up Jacob from Mary-claire, I'm sure he'll want to see his brother and sister'

Pulling Jac into an embrace, Joseph held her tighter then he had ever done before. He knew for sure that he wasn't going to let her go, not now. Not ever.

'Promise me something Joseph?' Jac questioned as she nestled her head into the crook of his shoulder.

'What's that?'

'Promise me that you'll never leave me again, not now, not ever'

'I promise'
