“I panic’d” Amy admitted “I’m sorry”

“Don’t be sorry, I’m okay, I’m here” Bette smiled

“How you feeling?” Amy asked

“Tired, sore…how’s your brother?”

“He’s good” Amy said

“Take him home, bring him back tomorrow, I don’t want you
hanging around here” Bette said

“But…”

“Amy don’t argue with me please, I’m in no state to argue”
Bette smirked

“Ok” Amy agreed “Well come back first thing tomorrow”

Amy looked at Tina “You’re staying right Mum?”

“Off course I am, I’m not going anywhere and I’ll contact
you if I need too” Tina said

“Give me a hug” Bette said

Amy leaned down and hugged Bette Gently “I love you” Bette
whispered in Amy’s ear

“I love you too” Amy said “I’ll see you tomorrow”

Amy let go off Bette’s hand and went over to Tina giving her
a hug “I love you mum, anything at all phone me and I’ll be right back here”

“I will” Tina said “Go get some rest”

Amy looked at Bette who was already back asleep. “Look after
my Mama” Amy said to Taylor

“I will” Taylor smiled

Jacqui opened the front door letting Amy and Nathan into the
house.

“3am no wonder my eyes are sore” Nathan said looking at his
watch “I go sleep”

“Yeah us too” Amy yawned

Jacqui locked the door and hung up her keys; she took her jacket
off and put it on the hanger.  She turned
and then walked over to Amy who was taking her own jacket off.  Jacqui took the jacket from Amy and hung it
up beside her own.

“Let’s go to bed baby” Jacqui said

“Uh huh that sounds like a good plan” Amy said as she made
her way up the stairs.

The girls both quickly got changed into their shorts and
tank top and crawled into bed. Amy opened her arms from Jacqui.

“I should be holding you in my arms” Jacqui smirked

“I want to just hold you tonight” Amy said “It’s the least I
can do after you holding me up all day”

Jacqui smiled and snuggled in. “I love you babe”

“I love you too” Amy yawned kissing Jacqui on the shoulder

Jacqui turned and kissed Amy on the lips softly “Get some
sleep” Jacqui said before turning and snuggling back in.

A little after 10 Nathan was woken up by banging on the
front door. He got out of bed rubbing his eyes and made his way to the front
door, Jacqui was walking down the stairs sleepily.

“This better be important” Nathan snapped as he opened the
door

“Morning” Kit smiled as she walked in with a bag in her hand
“I brought breakfast”

“Aunty Kit we were sleeping!” Nathan said

“What the hell Kit?” Jacqui asked

“I promised my sister I’d look after you all and I’m pretty
sure that niece of mine hasn’t eaten”

“Your right she hasn’t…she’s also sleeping and I’m not
waking her up, she’s not slept in 2 days” Jacqui stated

“she can go to sleep again after she eats breakfast!”

“I’m going back to bed!” Nathan said

“Not so fast Mr you haven’t eaten breakfast!” Kit stopped
him

“Aunty Kit…look at my eyes!” Nathan pointed “Do they look
awake to you…no I didn’t think…thank you and good night!”

Nathan went back into his room closing the door.

“Kit I am capable of looking after my wife and brother in
law” Jacqui said folding her arms

“I have no doubt about that…But who’s looking after you, we
all need to pull together here” Kit smiled putting her hand on Jacqui’s
shoulder

“We need more sleep, I can function right now, Nathan cant
either and Amy is still in dream land…I promise you we will eat the minute we
get up” Jacqui said

“Ok, but I’ll be back to check” Kit smiled

Kit left and Jacqui locked the door again. She leaned
against the door rubbing her eyes before making her way back upstairs and back
into bed with her wife. She yawned and gently placed her arms around Amy as she
let herself fall back asleep.
