Chapter 20

Michael

Four years. Four years since my daughter turned our world upside down. Five years since I married Shay. Sitting on the edge of our bed I stared at the window that shined light into our room. I got up with a big stretched. I stared down at my sleeping wife. Feeling the joy I got every time I looked at her. Since we were kids I had this feeling deep inside. It grew over the years I guess.

I made my way to our small kitchen to see our small four year old daughter standing at the tall fridge. She was in her pokemon pj's. her dark blond hair was up in messy pig tails. "What are you doing up so early?" I asked as I got the cereal out. I got three bowls on the counter before pouring cereal into them.

"Im hungry." She whined. She threw herself at me, clutching my leg. I sighed. "Daddy…im starving so much…I think I might dieeeeeee"

I rolled my eyes then poured milk into the small bowl of cereal and set it on the table. I put her up in her big girl booster chair. "There you go my drama princess."

She threw a pouted face my way. "Princess? I am queen."

"Your mom hits that spot." I winked to her. Right on queue my wife staggered out of our bedroom. Robed up and she laid her head against the door frame of the kitchen before giving a whine. "Michael im so hungryyy." She stated. "I feel like im going to dieeee." She sounded exactly like Michaela. Which should scare me a bit. It kinda did. I got her bowl ready then handed it to her, giving her a peck on her lips. "Morning my drama queen."

Shay chuckled as she took a seat. She shoveled a bite in before looking at our darling daughter. "What?"

"I get princess and you get queen? Totally unfair mommy." She pouted.

Shay laughed. "I been around longer. don't worry. You'll get there."

"I better."

I rolled my eyes as I joined them. "Hurry up an eat so we can take you to day care."

"Day care's boring daddy. Cant I hang out with you and mommy?" She asked.

Shay shoveled the last bite of her cereal in before saying. "Maybe she could go to work with me."

"Are you crazy?" I choked. I gulped the OJ I got for myself.

"Oh come on Michael. We both work at the same school. Why shouldn't we let our daughter experience it?"

"Lets see she's like two feet, rambunctious and oh yeah high schoolers would step on her?" I offered.

Shay rolled her eyes. "I'll take care of her."

I shook my head. "I don't think anyone can."

"How rude! I'll behave daddy I'll show you!" My four year old daughter declared as she trotted off to her room.

I shook my head giving my wife a look.

She only laughed at me before kissing me.

Shay

"What is that doing in my class." Copal said, eyeing my daughter who clung to my hand. I smiled.

"My daughter. We couldn't take her to her day care since she's in trouble there so we decided to bring her with us."

Copal glared at me but let it go as his class filed in. when Saki entered the room she saw us immediately.

"What in the world are you two doing here?" She asked.

"Im the new teacher assistant. I was assigned to Copal for this period. Then to Danvers. Then to Collins. So not fair that Michael gets to stay in the gym all day while I have to switch."

Saki eyed me like I was crazy. Copal glared at Saki. "Sit down Ms. Collins."

Fear struck Saki for a moment then disappeared as she took her seat. All class period she was like that. I gave my daughter my phone to entertain her as I wrote some notes of my own down.

First thing was. Didn't like Copal stares and Saki.

The bell rang signaling us for class changes. My daughter clung to me as I made my way to my mom's -In law- class. She looked surprised when she saw me and my daughter.

"What are you two doing here?"

"Class room assistant. She's only here because she refused to go to day care."

"Not true! I wanted to be with my mommy!" Michaela defended. She smiled at her grandma. "So what are you supposed to be?" She asked.

"Science teacher."

I smiled at the room, remembering my times when I attended here. I saw my old desk that was placed in the back row. I saw kids filing in. there were three girls who stood out, talking to another girl. Mitzuki. There was a guy with her. And another guy. Then Saki filed in. She saw me once again. This time she didn't bother coming over and speaking to us. All she did was lay her head down on her desk. I looked at my mother. "She okay?"

Claire shrugged. "My daughters hardly tell me things anymore. Since they grew boobs and figures they think they have it all figured out." Claire winked. I laughed.

"What are boobs mama?" Michaela asked, innocently. I laughed once again before sitting in a chair. I gave her my phone to play with as I wrote more notes.

At the end of class Mitzuki finally spotted me. She came to us. "Didn't expect to see you here." Saki stood beside her sister. She looked tired.

"Well its sort of a job to keep the rent takers off our backs."

"I meant the kid."

"Im no kid you freak!" Michaela purred. Mitzuki glared.

"Says the girl whos obsessed with cartoons!"

"Take that back you meanie!"

"No!" Mitzuki stuck her tongue out. The girl who came up beside her had long brown hair with brown eyes. There was a small boy beside her.

"We gotta go girl."

"Right right." Mitzuki ruffled Michaela's hair then said her goodbyes as she shuffled out of the room. Saki stared at me as if she wanted to tell me something.

"Yes?"

She stared at me then shook her head before running off. Weird. I left as well to the gym where my dad in law stood beside the stool he I guess sat on. He was in sweats. I saw my husband beside his dad. "Hi."

Shane looked taken aback to see us. "Hi? What are you two doing here?"

"Teachers assistant."

"Im here to spend time with mama. Now I wanna spend time with daddy." Michaela ran to her father and hugged his waist. Michael picked her up and put her on his back.

Shane shook his head. "Sorry sweetie but your dad has things to do." Both Michael and Michaela frowned. Scary how much they looked alike.

"I'll fill in for Michael."

Shane gave me a strain look then shrugged. "Alright dear"

The kids entered in gym clothing. I spotted the twins in seconds. They were with three girls and two or three boys. Saki wasn't talking at all. She got up and went to us.

"I don't feel well coach."

Shane lifted his brow. "Im not buying it. We would be running today. Im sure you can do that."

"But dad-"

"I am coach to you at school." Shane said. Saki frowned then gave her dad the coldest look ever before slowly walking back. Once outside I watched the kids run laps. Saki was only walking. She was holding her tummy.

"Dad maybe she is sick." I said.

"I've seen these excuses all the time. She's fine."

"Not so much dad." Michael said, pointing.

We both turn to see Saki standing. Shane confused walked over to her. Saki just pulled away from him then started running away. Shane scratched his head, coming back.

"What was that all about?"

"I have no clue….."

"She's been acting strange all day." I told Claire after school ended.

Claire shook her head. "She's the odd ball of our family. No helping that."

"I think something's up…." I remembered that my watch was missing, when I took it off this morning. I remembered I left it in Copal's room. I guess I should get it. "Could you watch Michaela. I'll be right back."

With a yes from her I made my way to his class. Once I got to the door I widened my eyes at what I was seeing. Copal's hand in a girls pants. What the hell. Once the girl pushed him back I noticed it was Saki. She looked in a rough shape. He grabbed her shoulders and slammed her to the wall making her cringe in pain. I gasped when I saw him go for the buttons on her shirt. When he was ripping off her shirt, not caring for the buttons anymore since she was fighting him, exposing her he started for her bra. I knew I had to save her but how? I didn't think. I swung the door open, then closed it, making the teacher jumped. He stared at me with fear in his eyes. Saki looked all around embarrassed since she was half naked. I went to Saki. I slung my jacket on her then zipped it up. I grabbed my watch then pocketed it. I stroked her hair before making eye contact at the teacher. "You better perpare for lawyers sir. I think having your way with a fourteen year old is against the law."

The teacher snarled at me, he was charging at me when the door opened again. This time it was Michael and Shane. They looked confused at first then when Shane eyed his daughter who looked scared, embarrassed and ready to break at this point, he saw what was going on.

"Shay what the heck is going on?" Michael asked.

"Nothing. We were just leaving." I hugged Saki as I slowly guided her away from the teacher. I got her into Shane's arms. He held his daughter protectively.

"What did he do to my daughter?" He asked after handing Saki over to Michael. I looked at him.

"He was close to having his way with her again….."

"You came didn't you?"

"Somebody had to. That girl would have been killed if I didn't."

"Saki please tell us what happened?" Claire asked as she looked at Saki who sat silently in a chair. Mitzuki arrived as soon as she heard the news. The little twins were here since nobody was at home yet. Shane was sitting on a desk beside Saki.

Saki stayed silent. "Please sweetie what can we do?"

"Theres nothing….." She said. There was a boy who entered the class room in a rush. Saki looked up as he stopped beside Saki.

"Are you okay Saki?" The boy asked. I think his name is Sanji, if I recall.

Alyssa went up to Saki. "Where's my necklace?" She asked.

Saki stared at her before she hung her head down. Tears formed in her eyes. She covered her face before she repeatedly said Im sorry to her little sister. Alyssa didn't understand why her sister was crying, all she knew was to just hug her. After we got Saki to calm down She stared at us. "Four years….he's been doing this to me…..in eight grade…at the end of the year he got me pregnant…"

I widened my eyes. She was only thirteen during that time. Her parents looked shell-shocked. Her siblings but Mitzuki jaws dropped.

"I quickly aborted it."

"But abortions need parents consent unless their sixteen…."

"I took some of moms birth control….it did the trick. All summer I forgot about him…till school started. As soon as I grew a figure and these stupid things in front of me…" She grabbed her chest. "He threw himself on me even more…" She choked up but this time held the tears at bay. She looked at her parents. "Help me…." She begged then let her tears out. She was older yes but not old enough to handle such a thing. No kid should handle this.

Especially not a good girl like her.

Arriving home was an amazing thing. I plopped on the couch and sighed. "My feet are free…."

Michael laughed as he held out sleeping girl in his arms. "Want to help me get her to bed?" He asked.

I got to my feet. "I want a bath."

He smiled. "Alright love. Enjoy your bath."

"I can wait if you want my help-"

"No go. You deserve it."

I smiled. "Hurry up so you can join me." I winked. He smiled big then rushed to her room. After getting the bath ready I eased my way down. I let out a big sigh in relief the hot water held. I looked up at the ceiling then thought about Saki. Im glad I caught the man when I did. Or who knows how long Saki would of hid her troubles from us…

Soon after I was in the bath Michael got in with me. We both talked about our lives, our child, and his sisters. After talking we did more of making out and adult things.

That day was hectic but the night was…..quite calm, great, and very much needed. I kissed Michael as we laid in each other's arms, felling his bare chest against mine. "I love you so much…"

Michael kissed my head as he held me closer.

"I love you too…."

With that we both dozed off into our dream worlds…

being in Michael's arms helped me get a good slumber….

Alright…not what I was planning but hey at least I can move on right? Lets hope lol. Anyways I hoped you liked. Enjoyed. Review to let me know? Thanks!
