I'm really sorry for delay in this story. I'm reallyyy starting to run out of ideas and motivation! Please leave some suggestions or ideas if you have any. If not I might just have to call it quits with this :) sorry this chapter is so short, I'm trying to keep them quite short at the minute whilst I have no ideas! xx
9.30pm
Rose walked in to the house and straight up to hers and Henry's bedroom, surprised to find him already in bed, reading a book. "Where've you been?" Henry asked, almost no emotion in his voice. "For a walk" Rose replied as she grabbed a pair of pyjamas from her draws. "If you say so" Henry laughed a little in disbelief, knowing that Rose was lying to him. Rose glared at him and began to get undressed and in to her pyjamas. "I know you've been at Jack's" Henry said as he closed his book. "Well you 'know' wrong" Rose lied as she headed to their en-suite to brush her teeth, leaving the door open. "Have you got any new marks on your neck this evening?" He snarled, watching as Rose put her toothbrush down "No, but I suppose it wouldn't surprise you if I did. You know, seen as I'm a 'whore' hey?" She gave him a sarcastic smile. "What's a whore?" Emilia frowned as she opened their bedroom door.
"What are you doing awake?" Rose asked, changing her tone from defensive to kind as she turned her attention to Emilia. "Charlie is awake, I can hear him crying. You can't?" Emilia frowned, surprised that both her parents hadn't heard her brother. "Oh… thank you, darling" Rose said as she took Emilia's hand and lead her out of the room, noticing her daughter and Henry exchange small smiles, Emilia's being sleepy. "You go back to bed. I'll be in in a minute to tuck you back in" she said quietly and let go of Emilia's hand before heading in to Charlie's room.

10pm
Rose walked back in to hers and Henry's bedroom once she had managed to get Charlie to settle down and said goodnight to Emilia.
"Are they asleep?" Henry asked. "Yes, thanks for all your help there" she gave a sarcastic response. "I've just taken care of them for the last hour and a half whilst you were AWOL, so congratulations on doing a little bit of parenting this evening" Henry glared at her. "I'm sorry, who does the majority of the parenting during the week? If I remember correctly, it's not you" Rose glared back. "No, because I'm off at work so I can provide for the 5 of us! God, if I'm so awful, I'm surprised you're not sleeping in the spare room!" Henry snapped. "I'm not giving you the satisfaction of that" Rose laughed and turned her bedroom light off before laying down and falling asleep fairly quickly.
