Slade wandered into the room holding the bottle full of warm milk, he handed it kindly to Ebony.

Hey, You know how you said you wanted to find my sisters? asked Slade,

It will be okay smiled Ebony, Slade smiled.

Ebony lay next to Slade, She listened closely to his breathing. He groaned and rolled over. Ebony smiled and kissed his shoulder gently. He groaned again and rolled over. Ebony closed her eyes gently but opened them suddenly as Slade Jr. began to whimper. Ebony yawned and got up slowly.

Slade Jr.s whimper got louder until he was in an all out scream. Ebony quickened her pace through to the little room off of Slade and Hers. She smiled and picked up Slade Jr. gently. He lay his head on her shoulder and began playing with a braid but was still crying softly. Ebony smiled and hushed him as she gently bobbed him up and down. She began walking through to the café, supporting Slade Jr. with her hand on his head and arm around his delicate waist. She hushed him as she carried on walking.

shhh she hushed quietly in his ear.

She quickened her pace into the café and put some boiling water on. She grabbed a bottle of milk and put it in the boiling water to heat it up.

Amber groaned and appeared holding Baby Bray. She smiled kindly at Ebony.

Hey can you sove a bottle in the water for me please smiled Amber, Ebony nodded and grabbed another bottle and put it in the boiling water.

Couldnt he sleep? asked Ebony, Amber shook his head

I think hes sick sighed Amber sitting down at one of the café seats and putting her hand to his forehead to check the temperature His temperatures a little bit up sighed Amber, Ebony grabbed her bottle out of the water and checked the temperature. She gently took of the lid and placed some milk on her tongue to double check that it wasnt to hot. She smiled and put the top of the milk bottle in Slade Jr.s mouth. He began sucking.

Hes probably just got a cold said Ebony stroking Slade Jr.s head as he sucked the bottle.

Yeah probably, I better check my bottle yawned Amber. Ebony smiled.

See you in the morning smiled Ebony, Amber smiled as Ebony left the café.

Ebony burped Slade Jr. nad layed him down gently into his cot.

Night Sunshine whispered Ebony yawning, Slade Jr. giggled and his eyes began to blink shut. Ebony smiled and headed back to bed. She yawned and closed her eyes and was abruptly out cold from tiredness as soon as her head hit the pillow.

Chapter 2:

Slade blinked his eyes until they opened, He yawned and got up quickly. He smiled as Ebony still slept silently. He slipped on his shirt and went through to get Slade Jr. He picked his son up gently and Slade Jr. giggled and rested his head on Slades chest.

Bubbles started to come from his mouth and his eyes began to close. Ebony handed Slade the baby and ran to the sink and washed her face of tears, upsettedly.

Ebony Quick! said Slade, Ebony dived over. The two held their son between them. Slade Jr.s eyes opened and closed and opened and.closed.

Chapter 5:

Ebony stood on the roof, The wind blew her braids everywhere. Slade opened the roof door and walked over to Ebony.

He will NEVER have to go through the life we are living and have been through said Amber EbonySlade? Say a few words said Amber, Ebony bit her lip and looked at Slade and shook her head.

We Love You, And Well never EVER forget you said Ebony Goodbye son whispered Ebony, She threw a rose down on top of the freshly pu down compost. Ebony walked off after Slade.

Slade sat coldly on the end of Ebony and his bed, Ebony entered the room and stopped dead as she walked through the door. Slade stood up and walked over to her. Her lips started to tremble and suddenly she burst into tears.

Shhh whispered Slade, He grabbed her into his arms and hugged her close, gently stroking her braids.

Oh Slade why did he have to go, WHY!? whimpered Ebony into his shoulder, Slade bit his lip hard as one tear escaped his eye.

Ebony entered the café and suddenly the chatters grew quiet.

I am leaving! snapped Ebony Just let me get a drink then you can all start talking again sighed Ebony grabbing the orange jice off Ambers table.

Ebonyhow are you? asked Gel bravely. Ebony felt a surge of pity rage through her body.

Im not to good Gel, But eh..thanks for asking said Ebony finishing up pouring her orange juice.

And Slade? asked Gel, Ebony now felt a rush of jealousy.

Hes just the same as me Gel, A little more strong! Now are you after him or something? snapped Ebony, Gel shook her head nervously and went back to her baked beans Sorry said Ebony, She slammed down her glass nervously and left the café again.

Gel, Make them some dinner would you said Amber,

Yes you Gel, Now would you hurry up and do stuff to help! said Amber angrily. Gel stood up angrily and began to arrange Ebony and Slade some dinner.

Ebony gently massages Slades tense shoulders. He smiled slightly as she stopped.

They asked me, well Gel asked me how we where said Ebony blankly I kinda snapped at her when she asked about you said Ebony.

Well now there isnt a baby to tie you down to me, is there? said Ebony

I cant believe youd even think that. Listen I practically came back from the dead for you! I didnt even know if youd had a baby! shouted Slade, Ebony shrugged. Slade gently stroked her cheek I love you Ebony said Slade, Ebony smiled slightly.

They kissed softly but not passionately. Gel walked in slyly and nervous, She layed down the two plates.

Thanks Gel smiled Slade making an effort, he jabbed Ebony roughly on the ribs.

Oh yeah thanks Gel Ebony said, She looked at Slade Oh and Sorry about snapping sighed Ebony, Slade looked happier as she had said all she needed to say.

Anyway. See you later smiled Gel leaving happily.

How can she be so happy? asked Ebony, Slade shrugged.

Shes not going through it, face to face sighed Slade passing Ebony over a plate.

Chapter 6:

Ebony blankly played with the food, It was her first time out the room for weeks and she still looked upset. Slade had come out just about 2 weeks later, trying desperately to be the stronger person. He tried to get on with life but always whenever he saw Ebony, he started thinking about Slade Jr.

Ebonyyou want some more toast? asked Mouse kindly.

Oh No thanks Mouse smiled Ebony, She stared down at her food again and began forking it. Ebony stood up and walked over to the cupboard.

No Ebony, Well get you some of it. Its run out said Trudy desperately.

Yeah its all gone! said Amber, Jay and Bray desperately. Ebony opened the cupboard and saw the baby food.

Wow, theres a lot of food for Baby Bray said Ebony blankly, She closed the cupboard and sat back down. Slade entered the café and looked at Ebony.

Hey Ebs said Slade pulling one of her braids gently.

Hey said Ebony smiling slightly. Slade knelt down slightly beside her Yes Ive had breakfast before you ask sighed Ebony, Slade smiled and kissed her cheek. Ebony groaned, She stood up quickly and walked out of the café. Slade punched the café table angrily. Siva looked at him kindly but worriedly. The mallrats stared at him.

Why wont she get better Siva? asked Slade innocently. Siva smiled reassuringly.

Ebony re-painted the band gently over her eyes and re-painted her flame. She gently touched up her lippy and smiled slyly. She got up in her new outfit and walked out the room.

Hey, Any lunch on the go? asked Ebony, The mallrats in the café looked very shocked Well? asked Ebony.

Now hurry up and Go! smiled Ebony. Slade nodded and headed back to the café. Ebony smiled. She dug into her pocket and pulled out a picture of Slade holding Slade Jr. and kissed it Just like how youd want it smiled Ebony quietly.

Chapter 7:

Ebony typed furiously on the computer and clicked print.

Yes its important Jack, Stop worrying said Ebony, Jack sighed.

Slade sipped his coffe quietly as the mallrats sat randomly in the café.

Ebony scribbled down the note to remind the mallrats of their leaving and seeing them soon. She layed it gently in the café and headed off with Slade.

Ebony and Slade left the mall quickly, Slade jumped on his motorbike and Ebony jumped onto the back of it, She put her arms around his waist as he started up the bike. Ebony leant her head over his shoulder, She turned her head and kissed his cheek, He turned and smiled at her. She smiled and looked forward.

They entered a large corridor, Ada called on Brea and Eva. Footsteps where heard and Ada flicked on the light. One door opened and then another. Slade abruptly let go of Ebonys hand and Ebony stepped back.

Eva slightly younger than Ada who was about Ebony and Ambers age, Brea Mouses age so Eva was about Gels age slightly older. Eva smiled happily as Brea screamed and ran right into Slades arms.

Ebony leant her head gently on Slades shoulder and yawned. He smiled as the truck clattered off the ground but carried on driving fast along the long and winding road.

Its a horrible road whispered Brea quietly.

Mega who he had to meet. Mega who he got Ebony to join him to meet. Mega who brought him and Ebony togetherSlades thoughts where interrupted by Brea looking in the door way. Slade yawned and sat up.

Ruby staggered drunkenly over to Slade and smirked.

Ebony looked on, She felt her blood temperature rise and she could feel jealousy taking over.

Ebony began to storm out of the main area of the mall.

Slade saw Ebonys eyes, She was angry and upset. He watched as she ran out of the dancing area in the mall. He gave Ruby over to Ram and ran after Ebony.
