Thankyou for the brill comments :)
Nikki was lying on her bed at home staring into space, she let a couple of tears escape her eyes but was interrupted by Gemma calling for her.
"you alright?"
"yeah, Hols won't stay still whilst I change the nappy"
Nikki sniffed going over and doing it for her
"have you been crying?"
"What? No" Nikki said
"you have whats up?"
"nothing its alright, go put your pizza in the over darling" nikki said to her as she cuddled her baby daughter
"mom did you manage to get some milk?"
"yeah 2 pints in the fridge"
"Want me to make up a formula for hols?"
"Please that would be great she can go to bed then"
Gemma was only a thirteen year old girl, but she helped her mum out so much even with the attitude.
"have you got clean uniform for tomorrow?"
"Yeah hung up ready"
"good girl…I'll get the pile washed later, its gonna take a while"
"I know mum…but we can do it together"
Nikki smiled "what would I do without you eh?" she asked putting a loose hair of gemmas hair behind her ear and taking the bottle feeding holly
Later on that evening, all the washing had been washed by hand and was now hung up drying on various pieces of string haging in the living room.
"ive got some work so im gonna say night" gemma smiled
"night baby"
"see you tomorrow" she smiled
"night darling" nikki said not answering the question. She kissed her daughters cheek as she went, and walked into Holly's room where she kissed holly on the cheek goodnight too. Nikki went into the kitchen drawing a sharp knife from the kitchen and going to her bedroom where she put pyjamas on.
She sat deep in thought looking at the knife, thinking of the damage she could do, ending it all right now, leaving Gemma to cope on her own with Holly…she wouldn't do that to her daughters would she?
