Pip POV
Dan loved the park. I can see him asking to come back again and soon.
He struggled against me all the way to the car and screamed all the way home, tears running down his face. He kept calling out for Daddy. Skunk made a huge impact on him. I got home to my one–bedroom bungalow, which was all I could afford. I shared my bedroom with Dan. I had a single bed, and he had a smaller version, having grown out of the cot last year. Put him to bed, and he was asleep in seconds. All those tears and the fun in the park wore him out.
I started collecting the dirty clothes, and those last few filled the basket up enough for me to head
to the laundry room and do my washing. I didn’t want to leave Dan alone, so I placed the basket
near the door, ready to take it once he woke up. I pulled some chicken wings out of the freezer to
thaw for our dinner later tonight.
My phone started to ring, and I pulled it out before it woke Dan.
“Hi sis, how was the party? Did you have a good time?” Wrench began, all in a rush.
“Yes, I had a great time, so did Dan. He behaved himself for a change.” I replied, Dan can misbehave when men try to touch me. He has seen enough to know not all men are nice.
“Was that because of Skunk?”
“Yeah, he cried all the way home, because he didn’t want to leave him.”
“Want me to come over and cheer him up?” Wrench offered kindly, and she would play with him for ages. I think my sister is clucky and might be pregnant.
“Does Jip know you might be pregnant?” I asked, trying to change the subject.
“Am not, don’t go there,” before we could say anything else, someone came banging on the door.
“Hang on, let me get that, don’t hang up.” I left the phone on the table and answered the door. “What took you so funking long? Where’s Dan?” The father of my child came bursting in. “Asleep, or was till you came bashing the door down.” Richard moved past me, almost knocking me down.
He walked into my room, looked down at the sleeping boy, and turned back out, leaving him to sleep. Richard strode up to me and grabbed me by the throat, forcing my chin to lift and look at
him.
“If the cops decide to come calling. I was here all day, playing with my boy. Got it?” He snarled in my face and threw me to the floor, my hip hitting the edge of the table, causing me to yelp in pain,

but Richard didn’t look back, just slammed the door shut as he left. Tears ran down my face as I struggled to get up. The pain was the worst Richard had ever inflicted.
“Mummy, is the badman gone?” Dan’s scared voice came out of the bedroom. He looked scared and had peed his pants, which would be any Dan, because only when Richard is around does he wet himself.
“Yeah, baby, he’s gone.” I answered, and he came rushing over to me.
“You cry,” Dan said, wiping my face with his hand.
“Can you get Mummy’s phone off the table? Auntie Wrench is on it.” Dan went and picked up the
phone, carefully carried it back to me.
“Hey. Sorry about that.”
“Don’t be, I am on my way.” Wrench hung up before I could argue, not that I would have had much
chance to.
Wrench arrived, along with Jip. They didn’t knock, just walked right in. I was in the bedroom, having changed Dan out of his wet pants and put them in the washing basket. I need to wash them before they stink.
“Hey, pack up, you are coming to live with us,” Jip said, and the men arrived, bringing boxes to pack
“Let the owner know you are moving out. He can keep the bond. As far as I am concerned, this place is no longer safe for you.” Wrench was almost in tears when she saw my hip. I pulled her over me and gave her a long hug. She was more upset than I was. Maybe it will hit me later, but I am too numb right now to think.
