Pity The Child

Kiara sighed. "I dated him for seven years."

"Oh..." Adam said, pulling a face.

"He abused me the entire time," said Kiara. "So I know what he can do."

"They pushed me down the stairs..." Lennon whispered.

Sammy shook her head. "You poor thing......"

"That's how my arm got hurt..." Lennon frowned.

"What?" Adam asked, not having heard what Lennon had said.

"Mommy and Will," said Monte. "They pushed Lennon down the stairs and made me say I did."

Adam growled, hugging Monte tight as he tried to keep his temper under control.

"They always blame it on us," said Monte. "If I get hurt they make Lennon say he hurt me."

"Wouldn't hurt Monte..." Lennon mumbled, shaking his head.

Adam kissed Monte's head, hugging him protectively. "It's ok...you don't have to go back..."

"We know you wouldn't sweetie, we know that," Sammy told Lennon. She looked over at Adam. "Why don't you two come over here with us and get off that floor?"

Adam nodded, slowly getting up with Monte in his arms and went to sit beside Sammy.

Sammy smiled, brushing back a bit of Lennon's hair.

Lennon smiled and slowly moved to hug his brother.

Monte smiled, hugging Lennon tightly. "You okay Len?"

Lennon nodded. "They'll make me better...you too." He said.

Monte nodded. "You're sicker than I am though."

"I know," Lennon said, coughing. "But you need to be better too."

"I'm okay Len," said Monte. "Just a cold, really."

"Yeah but that's what I had first..." Lennon mumbled, coughing.

Adam smiled as he watched them.

Monte nodded. "I know....."

"You have to make him get better too..." Lennon said, looking up at Kiara.

"Len I'm okay," Monte whined softly. He didn't like doctors. "Daddy tell him...."

"We do have to get you better as well Monte..." Adam said softly.

Monte pouted. "No doctors...."
