- Mum's POV -

Mason had gone to get me and him a coffee, I had grown to like him. As I was watching my precious little girl sleeping, making sure she was okay I overheard shouting.

"I don't know what room or where she is I haven't seen her for years but she's my daughter please just tell me where she is."

I stood up warily and walked to the door and slowly looked out of the door towards the direction of noise. Tom? What was he doing here? He seen my face, stopped and we made eye contact. The nurse walked off and there was no other members of staff in sight. I hurriedly stepped outside the door and shut it.

"You can go. You haven't been here for her for the past twelve years, what makes you think you can be dad of the year now?"

"Hear me out."

"No. Leave" I shouted.

"She's my daughter as well as yours, I deserve to see her too." he said whilst walking towards me. He towered over me. I was still holding the door handle to make sure my little girl was safe. I turned my eye contact to the left to see Mason walking with two coffees in his hand. Tom grabbed me by the throat. "You listen here you piece of crap, you are going to let me in there right now and see my daughter, she needs me."

"Oi!" Mason shouted whilst dropping the coffee on the floor. "You get your hands off her right now. You must be Tom?" As Mason was talking, Tom's hands were getting looser and looser until he removed them from my neck.

"You've got nothing to do with this, carry on what you're doing."

"As a matter of fact, Lauren has told me all about you and if you don't get out of here I will call the police."

"Call the police for what, wanting to see my daughter?"

"No I will call the police because you're a woman beater, you're a child abuser, you're a good for nothing drunken man who gets thrills from pointing out peoples imperfections without realising your own." before Mason could take a breath after his sentence, Tom hit him. Mason fell to the floor. "I see, violence is the only way you get what you want?" he spoke whilst blood was running from his nose. I turned around and there was a security guard standing behind me. Tom turned around to see him also. He tried to run, every way he ran was blocked by security. They all charged at him at once and pushed him to the floor.

"Thomas Hillman I am arresting you for assault. You do not have to say anything, but it may harm your defence if you do not mention when questioned something which you later rely on in court. Anything you do say may be given in evidence."

I watched as he was carted off, again. I was scared, breathless and frightened.

"I am so sorry Mrs Roscoe, that might've been my fault, he may have seen the status I put up earlier."

"Don't worry about it, at least he will be in prison for a while now, I know I'm safe but how did they know what was happening?" I wondered.

"Hey Mrs Roscoe, hey Mason." an innocent voice spoke.

"Jodie?" I asked,

"Yeah, can we go in to see her? I need to speak to you all about something."

We entered the room to see that Lauren was awaking, hopefully she didn't hear what had just happened, she didn't need that stress in her life right now.
