Not as Hawke was handing Sammy to him. Fletcher took her from the man and pulled her against his chest, staring down into her innocent little face.

He had slept on the sofa while Sammy and Olivia slept in her bed. He wasn’t leaving them. Ever.

Olivia had stayed in the car until he had walked back with Sammy in his arms and then she’d ripped open the door and leaped out, sobbing. Fletcher had put them both in the back seat, laying Sammy out so her head was on her mom’s lap.
Then they had driven to the hospital.

And by early morning they did.
Simon hadn’t touched her. Not in that way.
Thank fucking God.
