"Granny!" Olivia shouted excitedly when she saw Grace, leaving Sandra apologising to everyone as Olivia ran off ahead. "Olivia! Come here baby!" Grace called as Olivia got closer and by the time Sandra had gotten there Olivia was laying in the bed in her Granny's arms. "Your mummy took her time!" Grace said as Sandra sat down on the chair by the bed. "Yeah well someone ran off ahead!" Hours passed as they sat all chatting away at Grace's bedside when Sandra felt her phone vibrate and when she picked it up it told her that Esther was calling. "Esther, I can't really talk just now..." "Trust me you'll want to hear this." "Fine, go on." "Gerry's just rang Brian. They know you're back and that you have a three and a half year old daughter." "No! How?" "I heard something about connecting the dots. Sorry I don't know anymore Sandra." "Okay, thanks anyway." "What's wrong darling?" Grace asked worriedly as more tears poured down her face. "The fathers going to find out about Olivia and possibly already does!" Sandra said as she put her hands over her daughters ears. "Oh Sandra, I told you this would happen. You have to get there first and pray that he doesn't know anything yet." "And if he does?" "Well then you have a lot of explaining to do." "What if he tries to take her from me?" "Come on Sandra, I raised you with more fight than that. Show me it." "Mum I can't lose her!" Sandra said trying to control her emotions for her daughters sake. "And you won't. Find him and talk to him. I would keep Olivia but visiting hours are over in 15 minutes." "Do you think Esther will take her after how I was with her today?" "I'm sure she will, I'm sure she can see how stressed you are. The bags under your eyes against your ghostly white face. If you do it then maybe you'll be able to eat and sleep." "But how..." "Mothers know best." "Sandra what's up?" Esther asked worriedly and was clearly not too annoyed about that day. "The boys all know." "Sorry." "No it's not your fault. Anyway I'm going to go and speak to the dad before he finds out from someone else. Would you keep Olivia for a couple of hours while I sort all of this out? I'm sorry I keep passing her to you, I don't usually do this. She usually comes with my everywhere or I don't go but I can't this time obviously." Sandra explained herself. "No Sandra it's fine, it's important and I get that. Is it okay if she comes to the house with Brian here? I'll make her dinner and if you're going to be late then she can stay the night here." "That's brilliant, thank you! One thing, can you not tell anyone else she's there? I don't want the boys going to see her." "I wouldn't let them in anyway, she's not allergic to dogs is she? And is there anything that she won't eat?" "Just avoid nuts at all costs other than that she's not fussy, and no she loves animals. You'll have fun trying to get her away from Scampi. I'll go and pack her a bag just in case I'm out past her bedtime and bring her round." Another thought came to Sandra's mind. "You haven't moved have you?" "No, we're in the same old place. I'm just going to get some food in that's more appropriate for her but Brian'll be in." "Don't go to too much trouble, like I say she'll eat anything."
