* 2 weeks later *

Heros POV;

Its been two weeks since the assault. Josephine seems to be adjusting well. I on the other hand am still shaken up. I have horrible nightmares of maxine murdering my children. I started seeing a shrink to help me get pass this trauma.

Josephine: Hey honey.

Hero: Hey honey. How'd you sleep?

Josephine: I managed to get to sleep around 2:30 this morning. I cant sleep knowing that this happened. I know everything is going to be okay but part of me still wonders how this all happened. Like why us? I was always nice to Maxine never treated her like shit like everyone else did. I guess you just dont the lengths a person will go to get what they want.

Hero: none of this was your fault. You didnt know this was her intentions, im just glad shes gone for good.

Josephine: me to baby me to.

                * meanwhile *

Maxine: how did they take it when you told them i didnt survive? Did they believe you?

Doctor: yes. They were happy. When do you plan to make your grand appearance? You need to do it soon.

Maxine: Auden has a birthday coming up next week. I might just pay my bestfriend a little visit.

Doctor: are you sure this is smart? A childrens party seems to risky.

Maxine: thats where you're wrong father. It'll be the perfect opportunity to get what i want. Josephine has lived her life long enough she needs to die.

                  *mean while*

Josephine: so we have a birthday party to plan. Im thinking we do it here at the house since audens really young.

Hero: sounds good to me babe.

                * day of party*

Josephine: Hey auden lets get you dressed for your big day.

Auden: mommy why is auntie maxine sitting outside?

Josephine: what? Auden i told you auntie maxine is gone baby.

Auden: no mommy shes looking up at us.

Josephine: omg shes here.
