The End Of An Era.
They were all up early the next morning, Gabriel spent an hour on the phone to Tony asking where this journalist was, no one had contacted them at all, and if they didn't turn up soon, they were off out. He left him making phone calls to find out what was going on. They didn't have long to wait. A text said the journalist would be with them within the hour.
"Do you want me to disappear?" She asked Nick
Nick shook his head, "No love, if she asks then you're my girlfriend, don't offer information though."
"Okay." She pulled the dishwasher door open and loaded the breakfast things.
Gabriel came into the kitchen with glasses from the drinks they'd had after Millie had gone to bed. They had discussed various strategies if Andrea mentioned Alicia. Still, in the end, they decided that if Andrea mentioned Alicia, they would say that it was a long time ago, and Gabriel hoped she was well.
Millie leaned against the worktop "Did you sleep?"

The silence went on for an eternity.Millie noticed only two things in those moments, the smirk of self-satisfaction on Andrea's face. The other thing she noticed was the fury on Nick's face. Glancing at Gabriel, she could see the blood had drained from his face.Andrea had shown no compassion for the little girl who was holding her hand and clinging to Millie's leg. It was a good job, Millie thought, that the desk was between Nick and Andrea, or he might just have been more than vocal in his anger. Nick stood up, he glanced at Gabriel and walked over to Andrea.He shook his head as he walked over to Andrea, the fury he was feeling combined with his arrogant demeanour was frightening to watch, even Andrea moved back a step. Millie knew Nick was about to lose it, and she picked the little girl up and carried her out of the room. She could still hear Nick as she went down the hallway."So, you thought this was the very best way to do
HEAVEN & HELL The Letter
"Katie, have you been to school?" Asked MillieKatie shook her head.Well, she understands what school is at least, thought Millie, "would you like to go to school so that you can play with the other children?"Katie shrugged again but nodded as well."You're not sure?She nodded.Millie was pouring her a drink of milk when the door opened, and Nick came in."Sweetheart, I'm sorry," he put his arms around her, "he just needed...something."Despite being cross with them, Millie couldn't help but put her arms around him, "Is he okay?"Nick pulled a face, "He's in shock, he's just discovered that's he's a father, he never knew anything about her," he nodded at the child, "Is she okay?"Millie pulled a face, "Well, you know all about that, but at least you got some idea about Jess before she turned up. This little one has been through a lot. Why is she here?"Nick looked over Millie's shoulder at the child who

Gabriel and Millie, asleep at last. Nick went to fetch the letter that was scattered on the floor in the study. He picked up most of the glass that he could see, gathered the contents of the folder together and went to put the coffee on. It was still dark, though if he looked out of the window, he could see in the distance the sky getting lighter.They had helped Gabriel back to bed, and they lay with him hugging and trying to comfort him, he rested his head on Millie's shoulder, and she stroked his hair, her lips on his temple. He was panic-stricken and seemed to be out of control from fear, a

Millie stroked Gabriel's back soothing and comforting him. He rested his head against her shoulder his arm around her, holding her as close as he could. She stayed as still as she could hoping he would fall asleep.What was in that letter? What had made Gabriel lose it, it was alright him saying that she couldn't read it, she was going to read it whether he said so or not. That little girl needed the best of everything, her mother was gone now, and even Andrea was awful to her, spiteful even. Who could do that to someone so sweet? At least she had her mother and sisters, no matter how awkward everything had been, at least they had looked after her when she was a child. Well, they sometimes looked after her.Gabriel was going to be a fantastic dad. He had hardly taken his eyes off Katie all day, but then neither had Nick, they had held her hand, carried her, teased her made her smile. They were going to be wonderful parents. Millie let out a sigh, where did that leave h
HEAVEN & HELL Happy Words
"Hey Katie, would you like to talk? I know your daddy would love to hear you say hello, we all would."Katie nodded.Nick watched her, wondering if she would do what he was going to suggest. He waited until they had finished their breakfast, and then he reached out and pulled her up onto his knee, he put his mouth close to her ear."If we whisper, that bad man won't know. You can whisper in our ears, and you can tell daddy that you love him, we can tell you that we love you, think you can do that?"Katie pulled herself up to kneel on Nick's knee, she wrapped her arms around his neck, and she kissed his cheek, and in his ear a tiny, barely their voice."Hello."Nick hugged her and whispered back to her, "Hello, Katie."Nick felt overwhelming relief that she had at last spoken, ok, so it was a whisper she must have been so desperate to say something. Now it would be easier for her, now the dam had been broken, and the tiny trickle of wo

"Be careful, Amelia. I'll have you standing in the corner of the bedroom, holding your skirt up around your waist, showing off your very pink bottom. If it weren't for Katie being around, you'd be standing in the sitting room. Gabriel would love it, I'm sure, but maybe he won't be impressed when Giuseppe comes by."Millie gasped and pulled away from Nick's fingers, but he grabbed her wrist and held her to him. His other hand up her short skirt stroking up her thigh encountered fresh damp stickiness on her skin."This turns you on, doesn't it? You like me telling you what to do." He looked up to her face, but she had her eyes closed. "Open Millie."Without thinking about what he meant, Millie opened her legs a bit more. She wanted to feel him there again, she needed that orgasm, and soon.Nick chuckled and gave her bottom a slight slap, "I meant your eyes Millie, open your eyes."She flinched from the slap and blushed scarlet. She didn't dare look a
HEAVEN & HELL Unexpected Realisations.
Millie sat with Katie for an hour; she didn't want to leave and have the little girl wake up to find she was alone. She looked out of the window so she could keep an eye on what was happening on the patio. Nick and Gabe looked very relaxed right now. They had what she called their working faces on, laughing at the questions, making silly comments and almost flirting with the stupid girls. They never really showed their true selves to anyone except her and each other. Millie realized that she was in a privileged position knowing this.She watched as Gabriel ran his hands through his hair, pulling it back. He was like a girl with his hair, always messing about with it. Millie smiled. She knew him well enough now to know that when he did this, he was nervous or anxious. It was evident that he couldn't wait to get away from these girls. He's seemed to be looking straight at her, Millie lifted the voiles so that he would be able to see her, and blew him a kiss. He grinned ba
