What a horrible argument! I understand why Declan's angry but they need to talk it out - it's a complicated issue and he needs to hear where Bridget's coming from too. And he should definitely not take away India! That was so harsh. I hope India's okay!

"Mum is Indy there?" Declan asked hysterically.
"....No?" Rebecca was confused, "Declan it's 7pm, why would India be here?".
"Bridget and I had an argument and India heard us, she's gone" Declan was more scared then he'd ever been in his life.
"Alright i'll come over" Rebecca said.
"No stay there in case Indy turns up" He told her.
"Paul's here, I want to be with you and Bridget" Rebecca told him.
"Okay" Declan said before hanging up.
"Where would she go?" Bridget asked hysterically, "She cant go anywhere, she's only five, she doesnt know anything!".
"Shh Didge" Declan said hugging her, "She'll be okay".
"She's five Declan!" Bridget almost yelled at him.
"Mickey was fine" Declan told her.
"That's because you found him, what if a pedo finds her" Bridget sat at the table, "I want to go out looking".
"You're exhausted, wait for mum then you can go in mum's car and i'll go in my own" He told her.
Bridget nodded, "Where would a five year old go though?".
"Somewhere she knows" Declan said, "She loves going to the park..".
"Go check the park i'll wait for your mum!" Bridget told him.
"Okay" Declan ran out to his car.

"They hate me" India cried as a woman tried to comfort her.
"I'm sure they don't" she said, "Can you tell me your name sweetheart?".
"I-I-I-N-DEEEEA" India cried out.
"Sorry what was that?" She asked.
India shoved her bag over because her name was on it.
"India Napier, 34 Parkway Drive Erinsborough" the woman read out loud 'parkway drive is a nice spot so her parents wouldnt be bogans' she thought.
"I dont want to go home, mummy and daddy hate me, and they want to give my little brother or sister away!" India yelled.
'I wonder what happened?' the woman thought, "Okay you can come home with me but i'll have to ring some people to come help you okay?".
India sniffled and nodded.
"I have a daughter about your age" She said, "How old are you India?".
"Five" India said.
"Do you know what your mummy and daddies names are?" she asked.
"Mum and dad?" India said.
"No they have names just like you and me, i'm Jill but my daughters call me mummy" She tried to explain.
"Grandma calls daddy...De....Dec..." India tried to think, "Nanna calls mummy Diiiiii....Diiid....like the horn thing".
'Horn thing?' Jill wondered, 'Did...Didgeredoo!'.
"Didgeredoo?" Jill guessed while thinking 'why on earth would she be called that?'.
"No silly, Didge" India said, "Is this your house?".
Jill pulled into the carport and went to let India out of the car, "Yes come inside it's cold out here!".
India wandered into the house, two girls were sitting in front of the TV and turned around and looked at her.
"Who are you?" the older one snapped.
"Jessica be nice!" Jill snapped at her.
"Who is that?" A man muttered to Jill.
"India come sit with Jessica and Amy" Jill told her, "I'm just going to talk to Bob for a minute okay?".
India nodded and sat down next to the two girls.
"Why are you here?" Jessica asked.
"My parents kicked me out" India said like a brave soldier.
"Bull" Jessica said, "Why are you really here?".
"My parents kicked me out, they dont want me because they're having another baby and they dont want it either!" India told her.
"India..." India heard her father say from behind her.
India turned around to see her father and mother looking very angry with her.
"Come here young lady" Declan snapped, "Thankyou Jill for telling us!".
"No problem" Jill told him, "I'm always here to help".
India got to her feet and slowly walked to her father, "Sorry".
"We'll talk about it when we get home" Declan snapped at her, "Bye everyone thanks for looking after her for us".
India gulped knowing that when her dad got mad, he really got mad.

"How could you run away from me?" Declan roared, "Me and your mother!".
India sat at the table fighting back tears as her father paced around her.
"You have no idea how worried we've been!" Declan snapped, "You arent making anything better by running away from our problems India Napier!".
"SO I'M A PROBLEM?" India screamed at her father.
"Don't you dare speak to me like that India!" Declan yelled, "You've run away, told lies to a nice woman and then screamed at me, times like these i realize that my daughter shows me no respect!".
India wiped tears from her eyes knowing that if she fought back her dad would punish her worse but she had trouble keeping her thoughts and feelings inside.
"You're grounded for a month" Declan started with her punishment, "No television either!".
India looked at her father appalled but he raised his hand as if to say "Don't you dare say a thing India!".
India looked back at the table, "Can i go to bed?".
"Oh that's another thing, you can go to bed at 7:30 from now on instead of 8!" Declan snapped at her, "And if you ever run away again" Declan made his best 'dad face' at her.
India nodded and got up, "Can i please go to bed now?".
"Okay say goodnight to your mother" Declan told India.
Declan sat down as India left the room and put his head in his hands. He hated shouting at India, but he wanted to make sure she was too scared to ever pull a stint like that again. He never imagined how scared he'd be if he lost India forever.
He cast his memory back to the day after he found out that Bridget was pregnant and his mothers words to him.
"You know sooner or later you are going to work out what it is like to be a parent, and to worry yourself sick, about someone other then yourself!".
How true those words were now.
The eighteen year old version of him brushed these words off as he thought "Bullshit".
He retaliated that "Just because you stuffed up your life by having a baby young doesn't mean that i have to".
Those words still hurt him when he thought about them, India had not stuffed up his life, in fact aside from Bridget, India was the best thing that had ever happened to him.
Declan was too amerced in his thoughts to notice Bridget come back into the room, his only warning was a warm hand on his shoulder.
He turned around and smiled at his wife, "I hate punishing her".
Bridget nodded and sat in the chair next to him, "I know, but your punishment was fair, at least she wont even think about running away again!".
Declan nodded, "That's what i was aiming for, i dont want to punish her for the sake of it, i just want her to learn that running away is not the best answer!".
"Maybe we should ring Mickey and get him to have a chat with her?" Bridget wondered out loud.
Declan nodded, "That is a great idea!".
"Really?" Bridget was taken aback.
"He's run away more times then i can count!" Declan said, "He'd know what it's like".
"You ran away!" Bridget reminded him.
"Yeah at sixteen but that was just to get money for mum" Declan said, "Not because my parents were fighting".
"Point taken" Bridget shrugged.
"I'll ring him in the morning" Declan decided, "But now i'm going to check that our daughter is still in her bed".

"I'm busy!" Mickey exclaimed at his cousin and cousin-in-law when they came to visit the next day.
"Doing what?" Declan sniggered, "picking up chicks online?".
"No" Mickey turned bright red and closed the lid of his laptop.
"Oh Mickey's in loooove" Bridget teased feeling like she was sixteen again.
"Get over it" Mickey rolled his eyes.
"Oh he's too cool!" Declan looked over and grinned at his wife.
"Get out of my room!" Mickey yelled.
"Okay calm down" Declan laughed, "We'll leave if you talk to Indy for us".
"Why cant you talk to her? you made her!" He snapped back.
Bridget and Declan looked at each other and burst into laughter.
---
"Daddy!" India ran up into her fathers arms, "Why are you here?"
"Mummy and I have been visiting cousin Mickey" Declan told her as she gave her mother a quick hug.
"Why?" India asked, "He's weird, he always talks about picking up girls!...he's like Pete from round the twist!".
Declan regretted introducing his daughter to Round the Twist because every opportunity she got she made reference to it and was always pestering him to buy her more episodes.
"He's going to look after you this afternoon" Bridget said cheerfully.
"Whyyyyyyy" India moaned, "I dont want to go to his house, Billy and Joel are annoying! and Amelia never lets me play with her toys!".
"Because we're going out India, no complaints you're going!" Declan told her.
"You suck!" India snapped.
"Dont talk to your father like that India Napier" Bridget snapped back at her.
India got into the car sulkily and her mood did not pick up as the afternoon wore on, if anything it got worse and Bridget and Declan were glad to get rid of her.
