"Circles, we’re going in circles
Dizzy’s all it makes us
We know where it takes us
We've been before
Closer, maybe looking closer
There's more to discover
Find out what went wrong without blaming each other"

*Few days later*
~Anna's POV~

A few days have passed my mental breakdown. I couldn't help it, it felt so real. I felt the pain and misery that was being presented before me. If I didn't know I was dreaming, I would've gone insane slowly and painfully. All I need to do is focus on protecting my family even though Louis doesn't need physical protecting. Lately he's been making sure that everyone's problems were his responsibilities.

I tried talking some sense into him, saying that he wasn't Superman coming to rescue the day. All he does is reject everything I say and push everyone farther away. The man I loved was slipping farther away from me and there's noting I could do about it. It was killing me to see him like that. The once handsome, strong man was breaking down into something dreadful right before my eyes. My Louis was gone. Recently did I find him almost going back to drugs. I I hadn't stopped I don't know what would have happened. Would he end it all? Would he just leave us like that? I wouldn't allow it and he knows that better than anyone else.

Nobody has stopped by to check up on us. Probably just giving us space and settling after all this chaos we call life. Well for us it's life. Emerson runs into the living room and lands next to me laughing. I look up to see Harry chasing her and Amanda walking in behind him. Avoiding any case of exercising. I laugh half-heartedly at the sight in front of me.

"Help me, mommy," the sentence barely got through from all of Emerson's laughter. I scoop her up in my arms and playfully wrap my arms around her 'protecting' her from Harold. "Hey, I was playing with her," he says with a goofy grin on his face. "Too bad. She's mine. All mine," I kiss Emerson on her cheeks and hug her tightly.

"What are you guys here for?"

"Wow, Anna. I thought you would enjoy our company," Amanda sits a bit straighter, challenging my every move and word.

"You know what I mean," sending a playful glare at her.

"Ladies, settle down." He laughs at his little theatrical sentence. "We have something important to tell you."

"Go on." I gestured for them to continue. Harry takes his place next to Amanda on the remaining piece of the couch.

"Lately, I've been feeling sick and I went to the doctors. I found out that," Harry gestured her to continue and stared into her eyes lovingly. "I found out that I'm pregnant."

They looked at me waiting for my response. I set Emerson in my place when I stood up. I ran to the lovely couple and hugged them tightly. "Anna, watch out for the developing baby inside me. Geez!" She laughed with such expression, all Harry could do was stare at her with longing. I missed that feeling of being watched in that way, I slowly unwrapped myself from both of them.

I went back to my seat and set Emerson on my lap. We spent most of time talking about if it would be a boy or girl until I heard the door open abruptly. harry was the first to stand up, while I was the second after putting Emerson next to Amanda. "Both of you stay here," Harry kissed the top of Amanda's forehead, and took the lead in front of me.

We slowly and carefully walked to the front door. The sight I saw was awful, Louis was at the front door staggering towards me. "I missed you so much, babe," he slurred his words while throwing his hands onto my hips, forcing his lips on mine. I used all my strength to push him off, but I couldn't. Images from my past experience were rushing into my head at an alarming rate.

The next thing I know was that Louis was off of me and on the floor being held down by Harry. He struggled from under him, but suddenly grew quiet after being slapped mercilessly. I had to push Harry off of him to avoid getting him killed. The worst case was that he went unconscious and Harry had to set him on the spare couch in the family room. Emerson came running to me when we returned to the living room. Amanda was asking questions about what happened and who it was. Harry was trying to answer every question thrown at him. All I was able to hear was Emerson asking, "I thought you would leave again like daddy."

That broke my heart.
