Curtains Close; Take a bow. I think we fooled all of them now.

Oli's POV

"You've got nowhere to go." I plainly expressed to her with a sigh.

She nodded. "I know. Just... let me get out here. I'll find somewhere." She wiped her eyes and grabbed the car door handle.

"No stop." I said, locking it and explaining to her. "I can pay for you to stay in a hotel for a little while. Just... let me talk to SJ about having you back with us first." I said, looking straight out to the other end of the road.

We pulled into a hotel that was just down the road from my place. "Rain, if you stay here, you can come and walk up to me if you need something." I assured her, helping her fragile body out of the car. "No more drugs, no more alcohol and no more bruises. Your safe here Rain."

I reached into my pocket and pulled out my wallet, giving her everything that was stashed inside. "Go buy yourself a room there for the next week. Make sure you have enough left to be able to buy something to eat too."

"Thankyou Oli." She said, hugging me. I watched her drag her feet as she walked away and inside the hotel, making sure she went straight to the front desk. I watched her discuss it with the lady who sorted the rooms, and when Rain was handed a key, she turned and weakly smiled at me before ascending the stairs.

The drive home was short, and uneventful. I sat in thought for most of the journey, trying to figure out where Rain could go. Maybe SJ would let her stay with us after all. But I barely had any space for her, with all the baby stuff.

I gently clicked the latch on the front door, feeling the sweep of air touch my ankles as I swooped it open. The place was silent, and I started to take off my shoes. I hummed to myself as I hung the keys up and I walked calmly through the living room.

I was suddenly startled by a bone chilling cry. My whole body shook as I stood in total shock. "SJ? What's wrong!?" I shouted, slamming my feet up the stairs now, worried sickly about her.

She was sat on the toilet with her arms tightly wrapped around her stomach. She rocked back and fourth and was crying frantically. "Oliver." She repeatedly cried, calling my name.

I swooped down onto my knees and placed my hands on her stomach. "SJ? What is it?" I demanded, listening to her cry out in pain again.

Beads of sweat ran down her forehead, she bit her lip tightly and sobbed, taking quick breaths and grabbing my arm. "My water broke." She whispered, squeezing me into her chest.

I panicked. "We have to get you to hospital! Let me get your stuff. Have you eaten? Where are your painkillers? I'll make you a lunch!" I ran through the procedure, fretting as I ran about the bedroom like an insane person. She called out in pain again, this time screaming and leaning forward. "How long ago did they break?" I asked her, ripping open the drawers and pulling out random assortments of clothes.

She screamed at me. "It broke two hours ago! There's no way I'm going to make it to hospital!" She started to cry and got up. I helped her up onto the bed and propped her up with as many pillows as I could find. "Hold on SJ, I'm calling you an ambulance. You can make it to hospital. I know you can." I said, forcing her to listen to me.

I dialed the number with shaky hands, SJ's screams seemed to deafen me of being able to answer any question from the operator. Finally, an ambulance would be on the way any minute. I sat beside her, stroking her temples. "Hold on SJ!" I cried, squeezing her hand tightly in the palm of mine.
