A/N: here we go again! Enjoy!
It was officially Teagan's first birthday and Frankie walked into her bedroom. "Buno, Buno!" Teagan was stood up in her cot shouting at Bruno laying beside her cot.
"Good morning my beautiful birthday girl!" Frankie said and picked her up, twirling her around. "Time to put your birthday outfit on, daddy is coming home today!"
Frankie had the cutest outfit for Teagan. A pink top with little sparkles and unicorns on with a pink tutu skirt and pink sparkly tights. Once she was dressed Frankie held her up and started singing the birthday song.
"Happy birthday to youuuu!" She sang and Teagan laughed.
Taking her downstairs there were balloons and banners everywhere and also a bunch of gifts for Teagan to open. But they were waiting for Andrew first so Frankie showed her all the balloons. She was toddling around now still falling sometimes but she was mostly walking, which meant the house was constantly being picked up.
Frankie put a bow tie on Bruno and Teagan was chasing him as soon as she set her down trying to get it off him. He thought she was playing and ran from her.
Of course her first word wasn't mama or dada it was 'Buno!' Without the R. Although she had learnt 'dada' but she was saving it as a surprise for Andrew.
Frankie put some party music on and danced with Teagan. Andrew's family was due in later on in the day for two weeks.
As they danced Bruno's ears perked up and he ran to the front door sitting down stiff as a board, ears pointed up. The door pushed open and Frankie turned Teagan to the door.
Andrew walked in, his hands full. Bruno jumped up him licking him. Andrew laughed and put everything down on the sideboard, fussing him.
"Dada, dada!" Teagan toddled towards Andrew with her arms outstretched. "Wow! Look at my beautiful….wait say that again Teagan!"
"Dada, dada." Frankie choked back a happy tear at his reaction. "Oh baby girl." He hugged her tightly and kissed her all over. She laughed and kept saying it. "Dada, dada!" She clapped her hands and giggled. Frankie smiled and walked over to him.
"Ah my beautiful wife."
"Welcome home baby." She wrapped her arm around his waist and kissed him lovingly. He replied her kiss and then some, he put Teagan down and took Frankie's face in his hands, passionately kissing her, pushing her back into the wall, he moved his kisses down her neck, grabbing her hips and breasts. "Mmm…" she moaned. "Missed me?"
"I have." He kept kissing till he came back up to her lips. "Later you're mine." She laughed, she could feel his arousal already. "Can you wait that long?" She asked kissing his neck and resting her head against his chest. He cuddled her to him and stroked her back resting his head against hers.
He sighed in happiness, glad she was in his arms again, he'd missed her terribly more than ever. "I can't keep doing this, I want you."
He took her hand and took her into his office so they could keep an eye on Teagan luckily she was distracted by Bruno. He pressed her back against his office desk, she kissed him as he pulled up her shirt and began fondling her breasts. "God I've missed you." He said looking at her, he pushed her onto the desk, luckily she was wearing a short dress and he pushed it up his hand coming down and gently fondling her.
She moaned in pleasure as he brought her over the edge into wave after wave of passion, his moans and his tasting of her was enough for him to push his trousers down a little and thrust himself into her.
She laid back on his desk and he fondled her breasts as they made love. His thrusts increased but he wasn't done, he pulled out, helping her up he turned her around and bent her over the desk, pushing back into her he went harder and faster, grabbing her bouncing breasts again he leaned over her and moaned her name over and over. She had reached climax over and over already so many times.
"Frankie you drive me crazy…" he said between moans. "You're a sexy fox." He grabbed her shoulders as he lost his senses, throwing himself into her until he couldn't take it and he released his climax so hard she could feel it deeply inside her, he panted hard and held himself inside her for as long as possible.
He kissed her back all over her neck and brought her back to his chest as he fondled her breasts. "God you're so hot." He said and thrust once more. She moaned and he slipped out of her.
Turning her to him he kissed her passionately over and over. "I could tear your clothes off." He said as they made out. "Andrew what's come over you?" She laughed into his lips.
"You did several times…" he smacked her butt and grabbed it laughing as he took a deep breath. "Sorry." He kissed her softly and she smiled happily.
"Don't be I'm very happy you're home!" She wrapped her arms around his neck and sat back in the desk, he put himself away and she readjusted her dress and the shirt she had on under it. They both got back to normal and he stood between her legs stroking her sides kissing with her.
"My sexy man…" She said sighing, full and happy. Teagan started to whimper a little as she wondered where everyone had gone. Andrew picked up Frankie's hand and kissed it, staring into her eyes. He locked their hands and gently pulled her back out into the lounge. He kissed her hand again before letting go and walking over to the packages he'd brought in. He looked and found a big bunch of roses, he took them to her and she looked at them shocked. "Wow baby their beautiful, thank you!" He smiled and put his arms around her waist kissing her neck.
She sniffed them and they smelt beautiful, they also had glitter on them which gave them a beautiful sparkle. He swayed with her a little to the music and she put the flowers down on the counter, turning in his arms she stroked his upper arms and smiled. "I'm so lucky."
"So am I." He replied and kissed her again. Teagan came over with her arms outstretched for Andrew and he let go of Frankie to pick her up. He pulled Frankie to them and she wrapped one arm around him and the other around Teagan, "family hug!" They both hugged her and she giggled holding up her toy.
"Daddy brought you some birthday presents Teagan, shall we open them?"
"More?" Frankie laughed and Andrew put her on the floor next to the pile of gifts she had waiting. He brought the boxes over and set them down. He sat on the floor next to Frankie and they each helped Teagan to unwrap her presents, every time she opened something she ooo'd and ahh'd, she wanted to play with the boxes first and the wrapping paper made a cool hat and cape.
"What's this Teagan?" Frankie said and held up the building blocks that lit up and made noises. Teagan went and picked them up tossing them around.
She fell to her butt and Andrew gave her a teddy bear with the number 1 on it. Teagan took it and held it out before cuddling it. Frankie kept snapping pictures on her phone and laughed at Teagan's expressions. It appeared their daughter loved her birthday clothes and toys very much.
"Well she's happy." Frankie laughed getting up and grabbing a bin liner for all the wrapping paper. Andrew helped her and took the bag from her when they'd got it all.
"Be right back." He said taking the bag out to the bin. Frankie made a start on the food and started getting bits out to start cooking.
Needing the loo Frankie thought she could get away and make it quick, she nipped to the loo and whilst she was in there she heard Andrew shouting. She finished up and came out.
"What?!" Frankie said worried. He held a crying Teagan. "What happened?" She went rushing over to Teagan.
"She was putting these little balls in her mouth!" He said showing them to her. Frankie looked at them and saw that she wouldn't have gotten them in her mouth. They were far too big.
"Oh my god Andrew!" Frankie took Teagan and cuddled her. "You scared me and I was in the bathroom, poor girls traumatised."
"Do you want her choking on these!"
"I couldn't fit them in my mouth let alone her!" Frankie retorted stroking Teagan's back. "Andrew you scared her say sorry!"
He sighed and took Teagan and sat with her and her toys, she cried a little and he apologised, explaining why he was mad at her was because he was worried.
Frankie smiled and went to carry on cooking. A few minutes later Andrew left her to play and came over to Frankie, coming up behind her, kissing her neck tentatively.
She shrugged him off jokingly. "Don't be mad at me…" He wined, she sighed. "I'm not mad at you, why would I be?"
"I'm sorry, forgive me?"
She picked up the knife and his hand putting the knife in it, she gave him the handle end the other positioned straight over her heart, she pressed his hand a little and stared into his eyes.
"Do it my Romeo, pierce my heart with your woes!" She pretended to have woe.
He looked at the knife and pulled it away, putting it on the counter and grabbing her to him, holding her to his chest tightly his hand still shaking.
"Are you okay?" She laughed and he held her to him with both his hands. He closed his eyes and just held her for a moment. She pulled back and looked him he had tears in his eyes.
"Baby?" She asked him bringing her hand up to dry his cheeks. "You're so special to me the thought I had your life in my hands in that single moment…"
She kissed him softly and kissed his cheeks. "I'm sorry I was just playing with you." She said and felt really bad, he nodded and brought her to him kissing her all over, pushing her back against the counter, he put his hands either side of her and passionately made out with her. She replied his kisses with more urgency.
Again they wanted each other the tension was building, their heated love parts rising to the moment as they forced their lips harder together. She started 'stroking' him as the front door knocked and then flew open. They broke apart and Frankie turned back to the counter. Trying to regain her composure, he stood up straight, trying to look normal.
"Honey I'm home!" Liam shouted and came in with shorts and a T-shirt on.
"Uncle Andrew!" The kids all shouted running to him, he bent down to them and gave them a hug.
"Hey sexy!" Liam said walking over. "Oh hey Frankie." She laughed and Andrew shook his head hugging his brother.
"Auntie Frankie!" The kids came to her and she bent to them cuddling them then they ran off with Bruno.
Liam came and wrapped his arms around Frankie and kissed her lips. She pulled back turning her head and laughing. "Eww beer!"
"It's okay we'll struggle Liam!" Connie said with Charlotte as they came in with all the suitcases. Andrew hugged them both then helped by bringing in their bags.
Connie and Charlotte went over to Frankie and they all hugged. "Out Frankie!" Connie said getting the apron and putting it on.
Frankie laughed and held her hands up in defeat. She left the kitchen and went and sat down next to Liam on the chairs. They all started talking about their flight and such she looked up and Andrew was staring at her, she could tell he wanted her again and she wanted him too.
"Excuse me." Frankie said getting up and walking past him down to the laundry room. "Frankie where are you going?" Connie said, "get my granddaughter I want to see her." Frankie sighed and turned back smiling and walking past Andrew, her hand brushing his. He grabbed a finger secretly pulling on her until she was out of reach. Frankie picked up Teagan and took her to Connie. "There's granny's little angel."
The day dragged out for them every time they tried to be alone they were interrupted. It wasn't like they just wanted to have a quickie, Andrew was desperate to make her climax.
He'd really missed her and they were usually all over each other when he got back so to not be able to was driving them both crazy. "I need to change out of this top, I'm too hot.." Frankie said getting up off the sofa and headed upstairs into the bedroom. "How about we go in the lake?" Andrew said.
"Sounds good!" Liam said and shouted the kids to get their swim shorts on. "I'll just go change." Andrew said. Going up the stairs quicker than he could imagine.
He opened the door and gaped. She was ready for him. He shut the door and locked it he almost tore his clothes off at seeing her naked body. He got undressed and went over the top of her, his hot rod teasing her as they passionately kissed.
"Oh my god I want you." She said.
"You sexy minx you drive me crazy."
"Take me!" She said and reached down, they were both more than ready for it. He slipped easily inside her and their hard fuck began.
After a little while she climaxed with him for the second time, he panted but he was still ready for it. She could tell he wanted more and she pulled him down kissing him passionately reaching down she pushed him to his back and went down on him. Her touch was like electric he moaned softly, he didn't want their family hearing them.
A little while later and Frankie was back on top of him and he climaxed with her again… now he was truly spent.
He held her to him as they breathed heavily, both wet from sweat and the weather being so hot. He ran his hands down to her butt, slipping out of her his member ached with pleasure.
He rolled her onto her back and started kissing her all over, her breasts and stomach, over her love and back up over her breasts her neck and jaw to her lips. "What you do to me…" he trailed and kissed her, his tongue finding hers their kiss deep and passionate. "Andrew..." she moaned softly.
"I best go and join the others." She held him to her and kissed his shoulders and neck. "Don't leave."
He kissed her neck softly, "okay." He got comfortable on her chest gently sucking her nipples and kissing her skin. He ran his hands all over her body and looked up at her coming up to her lips. Kissing her slowly letting each kiss last.
"I love you." She whispered and he kissed her forehead. "I love you too my sweet wife, more than anything in this world."
"Why do I still get butterflies when you're near me?" She asked. "You do?" He replied smiling.
"That first day we met, my god I was a nervous wreck, I was hitting on you the whole time you know."
"So was I…I wanted to kiss your body and make love to you and I didn't even know why, we'd only just met!"
"Andrew! Frankie!" Shouting from downstairs came and they both sighed. "I'm going in the lake, come and join us!" Andrew said.
"That would be great I'll see you in there!" She laughed and touched his face slowly, looking into his eyes. She kissed him with more love than she could ever give with any touch. He pulled her up and held her in his arms. She loved him so much it hurt.
He pulled back and went to get his shorts on. She too grabbed her bikini and got dressed into it with a sarong.
They both came down holding hands. "They be out in the lake they got sick of waiting for yas!" Connie said.
"Are you coming mammy?" Andrew said.
"I'll be there in a moment just getting a drink!"
A couple of hours later and everyone was in the pool enjoying the sunshine. The music was playing and the day was amazing everyone had so much fun. Connie called everyone in for food, everyone picked at the buffet of food. There was so much food quite a bit was left over. Although Bruno got a good helping of meat and veggies.
They sang happy birthday to Teagan and had cake and ice cream, she opened presents from them all and generally she was overwhelmed and by nightfall she was ready for bed. The little kids were too and Charlotte took them whilst Frankie took Teagan.
After giving Teagan a bottle she laid her in her cot and put her nightlight on, Frankie pulled the rocker up to the cot and sat with her, sticking her finger through the bar so Teagan could hold it she sang to her….
"You are my sunshine, my only sunshine, you make me happy when skies are grey. You'll never know dear how much I love you, please don't take my sunshine away…."
She continued the song singing verse after verse.
Andrew stood in the doorway and watched her, smiling his heart so full of love for this amazing woman.
Teagan slowly drifted off to sleep as the song came to an end. "I love you my sunshine." She said to Teagan and blew her a kiss. Getting up she went to walk out the door and saw Andrew. He smiled and kissed her as she came out. "You'll never know dear, how much I love you so please don't take my sunshine away…" he whispered and brought her to him. She wrapped her arms around him and they swayed softly for a few minutes. He took her hand and they rejoined the others downstairs.
They were all sat round talking and Frankie's phone rang on the counter top. She got up and went to it, a number she didn't recognise called her she answered. "Hello?
"Mrs Kiernan formerly Paige?" A man said it sounded like he was in a rainstorm.
"Yes?"
"May I call you Frankie?"
"Yes of course."
"Frankie I'm Johnathan Loe Williams I was your late father's attorney."
"Okay…" she said. "Frankie I'm sorry to call you so late and so out of the blue but I need you to come down to your fathers house as soon as you can."
"Why?" She asked.
"There's been some problems with the weather and there's been some structural damage to the house. I've also got papers for you to sign that I need to have on the judges desk by 8am latest so I need you to leave like now."
"What?!" She said and couldn't really hear him over everyone her end talking, she went into Andrew's office and shut the door. Andrew saw her and was curious so he got up and went in.
"I can't just hop on a plane right now I'm kind of busy with family this end."
"I wouldn't ask normally but someone's put in a bid to buy the place for land development and their not backing down, I've been fighting this fight for your father for years on his behalf tonight's the last night you can save the house. Also the damage needs addressing tonight as it's causing major problems for the city as some of the roof extension is resting over some power lines causing a blackout they need you here as the only surviving family member and now owner of the estate to come sign off on it. Either you come or they arrest you and drag you here I don't have much hope of helping you keep your land if they do."
Frankie sat down in the chair and put her face in her hand rubbing her forehead. "Sorry Frankie I would have called sooner but this has all come about tonight. You father wanted the house to be safe."
"Well either I get arrested or I come there's not much option….ill be there as soon as I can."
"I'll meet you at your father's house call me on this number when you're in town."
"Yeah okay I'll see you then." She hung up the phone and put her head in her hands. He came to her and knelt in front of her, putting his hands over hers and taking them away from her face, she was crying and he pulled her to his chest gently holding her. "Talk to me baby."
She explained the situation to him and he rubbed her back. "Oh baby I'm sorry."
"I've got to go, I'm so sorry." She said pulling back. He reached up to her face and held her lips to his. "I'm coming with you." He said when they parted.
"No baby…you stay here and I'll be back when I can."
"No absolutely not. Baby you need me I'm coming with you." He took her hands and kissed them. "I'm not having you face this alone. We'll leave my family here to look after Bruno and Teagan and we'll go and get this sorted."
"I can't ask you to do that, you miss your family Andrew, listen to me I'll go and I'll be back when I can. You stay and enjoy yourself no point both of us dealing with this shit." He stroked her face and kissed her. "I'll be okay, you can't drop everything every time just for me."
"Are you sure?" He said. "I don't mind coming with you, my family will understand I will too…"
"Baby no, let me go and sort this out and I'll be back as soon as possible." She wrapped her arms around his neck and rested her head in the crook of his neck. "I love you." She whispered and he wrapped his arms around her, holding her tight to him. "I love you too."
They kissed again and again she rested her forehead against his and held his shoulders. He looked up at her and pulled her to him, stroking her back he touched her skin under her shirt, he felt her warmth and her body he didn't want her to go and he figured the longer he held her the longer she'd be in his arms.
She pulled back and kissed him again. Taking his hand she got up and left the office. She went out to the group and again explained the situation but that Andrew was staying here with Teagan. They were sad she wasn't going to be here but they understood the circumstances.
Frankie left the group and went upstairs. checked on Teagan and gave her a kiss goodbye. She went to the bedroom and packed a suitcase, solemnly she sat on the bed and packed a picture of her, Andrew and Teagan.
Andrew came in and sat next to her. "Please let me come with you." He asked taking her hand in his, she smiled a little and kissed his hand shaking her head.
"Then let me make love to you one last time." He kissed her passionately and she kissed back with as much want. He pushed her down and she stopped him, coming back up she held his face in her hands. "I've got to go."
"I know." He stroked her hair and took her hand leading her downstairs. She said goodbye to everyone and walked down the drive where a taxi was waiting. She put her suitcase in the cab and turned to him. "I'll see you. I'll call you when I'm there." She kissed him and he her. "I love you my beautiful wife, be safe."
"I love you too…my wonderful husband thank you for everything." He kissed her again and she got in the cab and drove away.
A number of hours later she watched as the Florida scenery flashed by, she couldn't believe she was back here. She had so many bad memories of this place and that was a shame as it was so beautiful. John was supposed to be meeting her there and she'd called to let him know she was nearly there. The cab stopped at the end of the road, the road blocked by fire crews. John waved and came over to her as she got her suitcase and paid the cab driver.
"Frankie?" He asked through the rain and she nodded. "Nice to meet you." He shook her hand and led her up the road. The fire crews stopped them and John spoke to the fire chief.
After a few documents were signed the fire crews gave the electrical company the all clear and the part if the roof that was causing an issue was removed safely. It was very early in the morning and John cover her with his umbrella as they stood waiting for fire crews to finish up.
It was morning before they did and finally the road was opened again. "Keys." He handed her, her dads big bunch of keys. "Shall we get out of the rain and chat?" He asked and she nodded. They quickly went across to the house and Frankie opened the door.
Going in the house there was dust everywhere, everything was covered by dust sheets. She flipped the light switch but there was no electricity, she remembered the breaker was in the basement and she asked John if he would go down and flip it as she was too scared to. He agreed and pretty soon the lights came on.
She felt a cold chill run down her back as she looked around the house. It was massive – bigger than she remembered. Walking into the old style kitchen she flipped the light on and checked the taps, thankfully there was still water although dust water came out but it was clear after a few seconds.
The fridge was of course empty and the cupboards were all bare. John walked into the kitchen dusting himself off. He sat at the kitchen table and got the paperwork out.
He explained everything in great detail, basically she was now the owner since her mother would ultimately be declared dead since they never found her body. She of course knew different but she didn't say anything.
"Your father left you a trust fund in which you get everything should he die."
"You mean if they both died?"
"No if he died solely. He left nothing to your mother at all." She looked at him shocked. "Why would he not leave my mother anything?"
"Because he knew she was being unfaithful to him, he knew for a very long time their marriage was over. They only stayed together for convenience, they got more money basically."
Frankie rolled her eyes it was so typical of her parents. "Did you know my father well?"
"We used to golf together a lot, he was a good friend."
"So basically sign here and I can transfer the estate to you." She picked up the pen and signed the documents. "Also this…" he pulled out more paperwork reading it to her…
"Basically it's to say you wish to keep the property in your name, you can let it out but you can't sell it."
"Typical." She sighed and signed the document.
"Frankie your father had a lot of money and it's all waiting for you, as soon as I get back I'll authorise the bank to release the funds to you and basically the rest is up to you to do what you wish. Like I said you can let the house but you can't sell it everything in the house is yours to do with what you want." He stood up and packed up his paperwork.
"Frankie you know about the gangs in the neighbourhood…just don't be opening the gates to anyone you don't know or trust and consider getting security guards, I'd hate for anything to happen to you."
"I will thank you."
"Oh I almost forgot…" he took out some more paperwork and read it to her. "Basically it's your last will and testament. Who do you want to get it all if you die?"
"Well Andrew of course or Teagan when she's old enough."
"Just fill their names in here and here and I'll sort that for you as well."
She followed and signed the paperwork filling their names in. "Okay all done." He smiled and gave her a hug. "You're father often spoke about you Frankie, he was proud that you were making it on your own and he let everyone know his daughter wasn't a walk over." He smiled and gave her another hug, she hugged him back and nodded.
"If you need me you have my number. Take care Frankie." John said and left. She closed the door behind him and leant back against the door looking around. It was deadly silent.
She hated being alone and she wished Andrew was here. Going into the lounge she looked around and pulled the dust sheets off of the sofas, her parents really hadn't cared for this place since they'd been off travelling.
She looked at the pictures on the fireplace, happy memories of her time growing up here. She didn't have any eerie feelings about this house when she was younger but now… it was so big and so empty and she was the only one there…
The house was old and had seen many people come and go, some of them probably in wooden boxes. The lights flickered and she prayed that she wouldn't have to go into the basement to sort it out.
The damp weather was making it cold outside and she wanted to warm the place up, she looked at the fireplace and looked around there was some fire lighters but she wasn't sure if the chimney was clear enough to even have a fire burning. She decided against it and just went to her suitcase and put an extra jumper on.
Taking out the photo frame of her, Andrew and Teagan she smiled and took it into the living room putting it amongst the pictures on the fireplace. Now it felt a little more cosy.
Going to the kitchen she looked around a little more before going back out into the hall and grabbing her suitcase. Taking it she decided it was time to venture up the stairs. The light for upstairs was at the top of the landing and everything was pitch black as she ascended the stairs.
Reaching the top she felt for the light switch and flicked it on. Walking down the hall she pushed open all of the doors and looked inside as she did so. Everything had dust sheets on as per usual and as she got to the last room she looked around flicking the light on to see better.
Her mum and dads room was the biggest almost like a mansion in itself. Everything was they had left it, the rooms smelt dusty and old and everything had a slight shimmer to it.
She walked around her parents room touching things and looking in draws, she went into the walk-in closet and flicked the light on, her dads safe was there but it was unlocked and open, there was nothing inside. On the top shelf though she reached and pulled down an old dilapidated box, she pulled open the cover and revealed her dads old handgun and some rounds she wasn't sure if it even worked, she stared at it running her fingers over the metal…suddenly a loud bang down the hall of a door slamming made her jump almost dropping the box.
She carefully put it back and left the room slowly creeping down the hall. She came to her room and gripped the door knob turning it. She could hear scratching coming from inside the room and wondered what the heck it was, when she put the light on she couldn't see anything that would make a noise.
Just as she was looking around her phone rang and scared her half to death. She pulled it out, it was Andrew. "Hello?" She said in a hushed voice.
"Hey baby." He said on the other end.
"Hey…how's Teagan?" She asked looking around her old room.
"She's fine baby how are you? Are you in?"
"Yeah I don't like it, it's a massive house and I'm the only one here…I think…I dunno I'm just getting weird vibes from this place, it's scaring me."
"Frankie….let me come to you I can get there by tomorrow morning."
"No I'm ok honestly it's just my imagination playing tricks on me because of what happened with my mother and father and everything… I dunno this place has old ghosts."
He sighed and wished he could hold her. "Baby I wish you would let me come to you, I'm worried about you. I have a bad feeling about all this."
"I know I do too, but it's fine really I can just sort this place out as quick as I can and get home, let the ghosts have their run of the…." Frankie paused as a loud bang came from the hallway, then another and another and another. She got a cold chill down her spine and slowly walked over to the door to her bedroom.
"Frankie?" Andrew asked, repeating several times when she didn't answer him. "Frankie? What's wrong?"
She looked down the hall as she opened the door and all the doors she'd opened along the way were now all closed. "What the…" she said.
"Frankie!" He was starting to get seriously worried.
"I'll call you back in a second don't worry I'm fine." She hung up the phone and walked out of her bedroom slowly. The only door not closed was her parents room. She slowly creeped down the hallway and looked back in their room. The window was wide open and she sighed figuring the draft had probably closed all the doors, she was definitely freaking herself out for no reason.
She picked up her cell and called Andrew back.
"Are you okay?" He asked.
"Yeah just a draft I think."
"Make sure nobody's around before you go bed and lock up."
"I will dad." She chuckled a little.
"Hey you can call me daddy anytime." He smirked.
"I had to get John to flip the breaker in the basement I hope to god they don't need to be flipped again otherwise I'd rather live here for a few days in total darkness."
"Poor baby…don't be scared I'm with you…I wish I could hold you and kiss you right now."
"Same." She half laughed and went downstairs. "I'm gonna have to grab some food tomorrow, there's nothing in…obviously."
"Well get a cab don't walk through downtown…"
"Definitely don't want to do that! Might bump into someone I know!" She laughed and sighed. "Baby…I'm tired…I'm gonna go bed, I've got to phone a contractor in the morning to come replace the roof on the conservatory." She pushed open the dining room door and looked inside…it was a mess. "From the look of the mess I think they may as well just tear it down or build it back up…whichever's quickest."
"Okay baby call me tomorrow so I know you're okay."
"I will, I love you. Bye." They hung up the phones and Frankie turned some of the lights off before going up to bed.
She went to the bathroom and got undressed and stood in her panties and a T-shirt. She finished up and started walking back to her room. Closing the door she pulled the dust sheet off her bed and cracked open the window to let the dust out. Laying in her bed again felt so strange, she felt like she was in a strangers bed. Laying down she turned off the light and stared at the door. She swore up and down she could hear something in the hallway…something evil….
Waking up the next morning she sat up and stretched, she'd barely slept as the noises were keeping her awake. She rolled over and checked the time. It was 08:00am. Getting up she looked at her phone, Andrew had text her.
"Morning baby hope you had a good night, miss you xx"
She text back. "Morning to you too, I love you my handsome husband xx"
Getting up she decided to shower and get dressed. After cleaning her bedroom and bathroom, showering and dressing she went through each of the upstairs rooms tidying things, moving things around and packing things up to go into storage.
Everything was going to plan, even a builder had been arranged to come rebuild the conservatory. It wasn't going to take as long as she thought it would which was an added bonus.
The next few days flew by but she found the more she stayed here the more she started to feel like something was…inside her, like she was becoming whatever evil invoked this house.
It was in the evening one night when things started to go very wrong. Frankie walked out the kitchen and when she walked back in the chairs were all toppled over and all the cupboards and drawers in the kitchen were open…
She shut them but a few minutes later they were open again…she got mad and grabbed everything out the cupboards tossing it on the floor, taking all the drawers out and emptying them, throwing them into a pile.
She grabbed a knife and went upstairs into her mom and dad's closet and started writing on the wall with the knife.
One night she was sleeping when she heard the door push open, she was about to sit up when something grabbed her ankle and dragged her down the hall, down the stairs and into the basement, the door slamming shut behind her and locking. When it released her she ran up the basement stairs trying to get out but she felt something grab her ankle again and pull her into the darkness…
Almost a week later and Frankie pushed the door open from the basement, she went to the living room and started smashing the mirrors and anything in the fireplace including the picture frame she'd placed there.
When it was over she breathed hard and fell to her knees. Her hands were covered in blood. Her phone rang and rang insistently, she got up and staggered to the kitchen, finding her phone she answered…
"Hello?"
"Oh thank god, Frankie where have you been? I've been trying to call you all week." Andrew looked around at his family giving the thumbs up that he'd finally got ahold of her, they all sighed in relief.
"Busy." She said simply.
"Frankie are you okay baby you sound tired?"
She didn't respond, she went to the broken piece of mirror in the lounge and started carving things into the door frame.
"Frankie? Frankie?" He asked repeatedly, he could hear strange noises coming down the line, heavy evil breathing…
"Baby? Are you okay?" He asked again.
"Libertas iam non est hic Pater, putrescit in inferno." The voice inside Frankie said (meaning Frankie is not here anymore father, she is rotting in hell) before Frankie dropped the phone and smashed it under her foot.
Andrew stood staring at his family gobsmacked. He understood every word whoever it was had just said. He put his phone on the counter and had to hold himself together.
"Andrew what's wrong?" Connie asked he was white as a sheet of paper.
"Is Frankie okay?" Liam asked and he shook his head.
"I've got to go to Florida, somethings happening to Frankie and it's something evil." He ran upstairs to his bedroom and grabbed some clothes. He grabbed his priest uniform, dog collar, rosary and his bible. He knew Frankie was off but something happened to her in the past week in that house, something wasn't right.
He also knew he couldn't go in blind, he had to get a few things from an old friend first. Going downstairs Connie went to Andrew with Teagan in her arms. He kissed his daughter lovingly and looked at his mum. He had his priest uniform on.
"Good luck my boy, be safe." She said and everyone watched as he went out to the car and drove away. A few hours of driving landed him back in Pittsburgh central and he stopped outside Father Durnings church. Rushing inside he walked and talked with him.
"You'll need holy water and you'll need to confess your sins, you must be pure." Durning said and he nodded. "Remember what they taught us in priest school, exorcism is about the evil inside not the outside, whatever Frankie does to herself or to you or anyone else…. It's not Frankie doing it!" He gave him the holy water and blessed everything he had with him.
Andrew went to confession and confessed his heart out to anything and everything he could think of. When he was done the father gave him a harsh punishment to reflect his sins, he couldn't go easy as that would be a weakness that evil could exploit.
The whole way to Florida he had to repeat the Hail Mary over and over. When he got to Florida he got a cab and within an hour he pulled up outside the house, got his bags, paid the driver and he left.
Frankie was right the house was massive and eerie. He buzzed the gate but as expected nobody answered. Throwing his bags through the barred gates he climbed up and over the gate landing on the other side.
He walked slowly up to the house and stopped, dropping his bags down. He wasn't going to lie he was scared, but knowing Frankie was in there and needed him was more empowering him to go on than anything.
He wrapped his rosary around his wrist and gripped his crucifix. His holy water in his pocket, his bible in his hand.
Pushing the door knob he pushed open the door, there were things everywhere the house looked like it had been ransacked. He slowly walked in and down the hall walking into the lounge. "Frankie?" He called holding his crucifix tightly before him. There was no sound, no movement.
He looked around and saw all the broken glass, carvings etched into wood. He moved to the kitchen and it was just as bad, things were everywhere and he still couldn't find Frankie.
Once he'd checked all the rooms downstairs apart from the basement, he went upstairs and slowly he started room by room. He came to her bedroom and he called for her but no answer, her room was probably the worst for carvings so far scattered all around the room, trails of thick blood lined under his feet. He prayed hard for her safety.
Walking down the hall he went slowly into what he presumed was her parents bedroom. Finally he found her, she was facing away from him sat crossed legged on the bed staring at the wall whispering.
"Frankie?" He asked a few times but got no response. He went slowly towards her, gingerly he reached out to touch her shoulder.
"Andrew?" She cried before he could, he stepped back. "Andrew is that you?" It sounded like Frankie but he was more than sure it wasn't.
"Andrew I tried to stop it, I tried to fight it but it was too strong, it got into my soul and preyed on my weakness…"
"Frankie?" He asked.
"Tu me tata vilis?" It said. And spun around standing up on the bed. Andrew jumped back and stared wide eyed, Frankie looked like hell , she had dried blood and cuts everywhere whatever was inside her enjoyed seeing her bleed.
She started unbuttoning her shirt and her bare chest opened up to him. She grabbed at her breasts and moaned his name. "Andrew I want you…"
Andrew was staring so badly he forgot what he was here to do. He opened his bible and began reciting the exorcism rite.
The demon in Frankie laughed and dropped down off the bed coming over to him. She rounded him coming back to his front. She slowly put her hand down the front of his trousers, rubbing her hand against his rod as he tried to read the words from the bible.
"Aren't you going to put it inside me?" The demon asked in Frankie's voice. "You know I'm so wet for you." Andrew stepped back away from her and continued reading.
"Demon! I cast you out of this woman for she does not belong to you but to the Lord Jesus Christ…." He stopped as Frankie stopped and he looked up at her, she had a glass shard in her hand and she was carving an upside down cross into her stomach.
He had to put his feelings aside, he couldn't expel the demon if he was crying over Frankie hurting herself. He got the holy water out and sprayed a bit on her with every name…
"The father.. " she writhed in pain and stepped back..
"The son…"
"And the Holy Spirit!" She fell back onto the bed with her arms outstretched. He knew it wasn't over but he wasn't prepared for what happened next…
He went to approach her and she hissed. He stopped and she looked up suddenly, throwing him back against the wall so hard he almost went through it.
He dropped everything in his hands in the process and she wasn't done with him yet. "Fucking priest!" She picked him up and tossed him out the room. "You think you can play me?" She grabbed him again and held him up against the wall above the stairs by his throat. She wasn't touching him though a force beyond her was controlling this.
"I told you she's rotting in hell father! You'll see her one day when we get through with her and you join us in hells glory!"
"Leave her alone, take me instead." He said through baited breaths.
"Tempting but I like this body better!" He grabbed at Frankie's breasts.
"What do you want?" Andrew asked. "She's a fighter she won't go down without a fight!"
"Ha! I have what I want…I get to play with Frankie whenever I want…" He reached down the front of Frankie's trousers and Andrew got annoyed. "No stop it!"
The demon laughed and looked at him. "The fun is just beginning Andrew Kiernan!" He tossed him down the stairs and Andrew hit his head on the way down passing out as he landed on the floor below him.
Andrew woke slowly, his head was bleeding and he'd broken a few ribs he was sure. He gingerly sat up and realised his hands were shackled to the wall behind him.
The room was dark except for a tv which played nothing but static, above it was an upside down cross on the floor in front of it was a pentagram carved into the concrete, the floor had blood all over it, in the middle of the pentagram was Frankie sat on her knees with her arms outstretched towards the floor. She had something around her neck she had no shirt on and she was reading in dark tongues.
On her bare back were cuts that were bleeding, down to the hem of her jeans. She reached around and started undoing the buttons and zip on her jeans, she slid out of them until she was totally naked, still sat with arms outstretched towards the floor.
Andrew watched her, he was still a bit woozy from the fall and banging his head. "Frankie?" Andrew said trying to reach her.
"Baby are you there?" He asked but there was no answer.
"Frankie you have to fight whatever it is… Teagan needs her mammy and I need my wife, my beautiful sexy wife."
Still there was no response and Andrew was frustrated. "What do you want? What can she give you that I can't? I'm a priest you can take me!"
Frankie put her hands on her privates as she looked up at the cross, sitting back she began to repeat lucifers name over and over as she played with herself.
Andrew didn't want to watch but he had no choice. She moaned and moaned in the demons voice and hers until she climaxed, fluid seeped out of her and mixed with the blood on the floor.
"Now we have you here…" the demon whispered. "I only need your seed and my master will be reborn."
Frankie turned to him and crawled over to him slowly, she reached up to his trousers and slowly undid the buttons, he fought her as much as he could, refusing to give into her. With a well timed kick he kicked Frankie away from him.
She fell back into the pentagram and growled. She reached him again and grabbed his shirt pulling him towards her, her eyes were deep red in colour and he stared at her. "Frankie…" he whispered and for a moment he saw the demon faulted.
"Come on baby fight it, whatever it is!"
Deep inside of her an internal struggle ensued between her and the demon she could see/hear/feel what was happening but she wasn't in control.
Again the demon began to undo his trousers this time he punched Andrew hard across the jaw, Andrew was dazed for long enough for Frankie or the demon to get his manhood out and present. Frankie or whoever it was started to play with it and because it looked like Frankie he couldn't help but get turned on.
"Baby…" he whispered… "I love you."
The demon fell backwards and started writhing on the floor, soon enough Frankie was able to pull through the spirit and she opened her eyes. She breathed heavy and sat up.
"Andrew!" She said and went to him. "It's me."
"Frankie?" He wasn't sure.
"You have to exorcise it, I can't fight it if you don't. Don't listen to what I'm saying…" she took his hands out the bounds and he put himself away and did his trousers up sitting up slowly on his knees. "Frankie."
"Go! I'll hold him off whilst you get your holy water and bible!"
"Come with me."
She writhed in pain. "I can't right now! Go! You need to finish the exorcism!"
Andrew was torn but he quickly ran up the basement stairs and out into the hallway. He stopped as he heard screaming coming from the basement, also candles had appeared since his time asleep.
They lit every section of visible floor along the walls, all the way upstairs. He ran to the stairs as quick as he could falling up them. He re- gained himself and ran to the top of the stairs and to the left towards the corridor that led to her parents room.
He slid into the room and saw his things, reaching down he grabbed them as Frankie walked in still completely naked.
Her eyes were red again and she went straight to him as he started the rite. He threw holy water at her and she darted back in pain.
He continued shouting the rites and every time he did he would be thrown from wall to wall, he was taking a battering.
He could tell the entity was weakening and he finally learned its name when it screamed out for Lucifer to help him.
"Torgue, demon I forbid you to have this woman, may you see the light of Christ and be sent back to hell where you belong!"
He threw more holy water and bent over in agony as the pain seared his sides.
Frankie rose up with her arms outstretched but she was upside down, the house began to violently shake, things fell off shelves and candles tumbled over setting a violent fire to the place that ripped through so quickly. The room started filling with smoke and Andrew tried to breathe.
He tried to get to Frankie but he couldn't there was some shield around her pushing him back. He managed to get to a window and open it, it was a long way down. He didn't think he would make it and he turned back to Frankie.
The house shook violently for a few more moments. Andrew looked up, tossed the last of the holy water at her and shouted.
"I've done all I can Frankie the rest is up to you."
After a long few moments there was an audible scream from inside her and her dark red eyes returned to normal and she dropped to the floor with a hard thud. By now the fire was well and truly consuming the whole house. He ran to her and grabbed her hand turning her over.
"Andrew…" she said touching his face gently. "Go…" she whispered pushing him away.
"I'm not leaving without you." He called over the flames coughing. He picked her up into his arms and carried her out the room, the fire was everywhere. The stairs were blocked, he went to Frankie's room and put her on the bed as he threw the door shut and barricaded it, the only room not to have caught fire yet. He came back to her then to the window, he looked out it was straight jump but because of the hill behind the house it wasn't as far, plus it was onto grass.
He grabbed Frankie and looked around for some clothes for her. Everything was everywhere and the door was now consumed by fire. He flew open the window and grabbed Frankie around the waist. She winced in pain and he picked her up onto his hips and told her to hold on. She did as best she could but she was incredibly weak. For Frankie she had all her injuries, she'd lost a fair amount of blood and she hadn't eaten anything for two weeks straight. She was dehydrated as well which took its toll and now the fire had got to her. She held on as he jumped out of the window he hit the grass and sprained his ankle, he yelled out in pain as he did so, Frankie fell out of his arms and rolled to a stop. A little ways away from him.
He writhed in pain for a minute until the house started to collapse in on itself, the house itself sounded like screaming demons. He watched it fall to the flames and heard the sirens in the distance. He looked to Frankie and went to her. He grabbed her arm and swung it over his shoulder as he pulled her up the hill and finally to safety.
He looked down at her and she was pale. He went to her and grabbed her shoulders shaking her. "Frankie." He shook her and listened to her chest, she wasn't breathing. Her heart still was beating but barely.
He took deep breaths and breathed into her mouth he didn't know what else to do, she finally coughed and her hand came up resting on her bare chest.
"Baby?" He whispered and brought her to his lap. He held her to him and sobbed. "Frankie…" she passed out again and he rocked her slowly, this time she was breathing. He took off his shirt and put it on her to give her a little decency.
Standing he picked her up and limped towards the front of the house where he was met with paramedics.
A few days later and a nurse wheeled Andrew into Frankie's room. She was laying in bed staring out the window, only looking up when he spoke.
"Here's my baby." He smiled, she half smiled and looked back to the window.
He got out the wheelchair and sat beside Frankie in the hospital chair. He looked at her and took her hand kissing it softly, then leaning over and kissing her softly.
She kissed him back and looked out the window as he began talking. "Frankie?" He asked.
She looked at him and he scooted closer to her. "Baby? What's wrong?"
"I'm sad." She said and let a few tears slip. "I should have died in that fire. It was my fault, I went into the basement and saw those things."
"Don't you dare say that. I'm glad you're not dead and so are a lot of other people. It wasn't your fault baby, you had that thing inside you."
"You should've killed me."
He stared at her unable to fathom why she felt this way, then it clicked. "Is this because it was your dads house? Because you feel responsible?"
She nodded through tears. He got up and sat on her bed, he brought her up into his arms and held her against his chest. He kissed her softly and lovingly. "Baby he loved you, he wouldn't want you to be upset with yourself over something immaterial. It's not like you can take it with you when you die. Baby you are the most selfless person I know, you're the love of my life because you're kind, warm, beautiful and tender. You've got a wonderful heart of gold and you'd do anything anybody asked of you… baby you deserve to live and love and be happy and that's what your dad would want too."
"Why does this stuff happen to me?" She grabbed hold of him around his waist and gripped his shirt. "I was so scared and it all happened so quickly…I wanted you with me but I couldn't ask you, it wouldn't let me, it violated me, tried to violate you… why do you keep saving me? Maybe I'm supposed to die…"
"Shhh…" he whispered taking her hands and kissing them, putting them against his chest. "I love you Frankie and I promise you I will die before I ever let anything happen to you. You're everything to me and I'm not living this life if you're not by my side. Now come on, you're too beautiful to cry, my sweet angel…" he lifted her chin and made out with her. She replied the kiss and their hands locked fingers. She climbed into his lap and he held her to him, stroking her cheek and kissing her again and again.
"I'm done with Florida. I want to see my baby girl and go home."
"Then let's get you home baby." He stood and she pulled him back down. He took her face in his hands and kissed her lovingly. "Thank you for saving me." She whispered. "Again."
"I'd do it ten billion times more if I had to. I never get tired of having you in my arms."
"I love you." She said softly.
"I love you too." He kissed her again.
