“Dominic Williams I sentence you too 4 years imprisonment! You will serve half”
“Take him down”
Take him down my heart stopped no matter what he did what I’d been through my heart had just been ripped in two
“I love you Rain..take care of our girl”
Before I could say anything he was gone.
I felt numb what am I going to do.. could I really be a single mam.. I need to get out of here.
When I’d eventually got home I sorted my little girl out and when she was all settled I decided to make the dreaded phone call to his mam
“Hey Lou Lou it’s me Rain”
“I know who it is.. so come on then what’s he got”
“He got 4 year but is only serving 2”
“Good.. I’m glad”
“Excuse me! Could you please repeat that?”
“I said good.. maybe he will learn now he hasn’t you or bunny”
“Yh maybe”
“You in tomorrow? I’m wanting to call in to see bunny”
“Yh I’m in.. I will see you then”
“See you then love”
Wow ohh wow what has happened to his mam.. she been on booze.. she is being overly nice.. I thought to my self
I picked my phone up and phoned Lilly
We chatted and laughed and by the time we had done the time had flown.. you see I didn’t speak to her much but now as I lay on my bed thinking everything over.. the control what Dom had over me and me not realising was overwhelming.. realising I was walking on egg shells in my own house.. loosing my voice my confidence.. well now this is my time to change all that.. no more being controlled.. iv got this s**t!
The next day an unknown number phoned
“Hello”
“Hey babe.. how’s things?”
“Yh there good, how are you?”
“Good missing my two favourite girls”
“Aww we miss you” i wasn’t actually lying I did miss him.. I loved him
“So what’s ya plans for today”
“I’m taking bunny to see ya mam.. why you ask”
“Just taking interest babe.. look I have to go I will ring tomorrow.. I love you”
And the line went dead.
Why couldn’t he be this nice all the time the bloody douche bag.
Me and bunny made our way to see his mam.. when we got there she was waiting on the door step..
“Come on in rain.. kettle has just boiled”
“Thank you” i said
I sat down trying to get warm it was so cold out good job my bunny was all wrapped up..
“Lou Lou can I ask you something?”
“Yes”
“Why is Dom like he is”
She looked taken back but she answered honestly..
“He’s like that because of his father… I’m sorry to say.”
“Ohh.. I don’t mean to pry but in what way”
“His father wasn’t a very nice man.. he used to beat me and Dom saw.. well he saw some of things he did but not all.. I know it’s scared Dom seeing what he saw and I so wish he hadn’t..”
“It’s okay you don’t need to carry on” I could see the pain in her face as she remembered what she had been through..
“I no it’s our fault why he has turned out the way he has.. I could of done more to help him understand what happened and taught him what his father did was wrong”
For the first time I saw a Side to her that I’d never seen.. we chatted some more and tbh I was starting to quite like her.. I started to think maybe we could get along..
“One thing I will say tho Rain””
“Gowan”
“If he owt like his dad.. he will be hung like a donkey”
I didn’t know where to put my face.. I could feel it starting to burn
“Omg I can’t believe you just said that”
“Well it’s true love”she said while laughing and tbh I was starting to laugh too.
A couple of weeks went by and I wasn’t feeling myself.. I knew there could only be one reason.. I booked myself a doctors appointment for later on that day.. I dropped bunny with her gran and headed off to the doctors..
“Congratulations miss Payne your pregnant”
“We will send you an appointment out through the post”
“Thank you” i said and walked out the door
I got back to Lou’s I told her the news and she was surprised but happy
“Who’s going to tell him”
“Well I will tell him as it is my baby too”
“I see I promise I won’t spill until he knows”
“Thank you I appreciate it
He phoned and instantly new
Something was wrong
“So how you keeping”
“we’re okay”
“Look I need to tell you something..”
Come on spit it out he says
I’m pregnant.. “omg are you sure? Have you been to the doctors?”
“Yea I have love.. all is good love”
“Good I’m glad.. I can’t wait to get out of here and be with my family”
After our conversation over the phone it had me thinking is he really going to change and I knew there is only one way I’d find out..
