*A few days later*

SAM POV

We are going home today as Diana is fully healed after the surgery she will still need bed-rest, rehab, and a few doctor visits but that's it with it.

I was scared as still I didn't have the rights to take them home and I didn't know if Chris and Aaliyah would choose this hospital and aftercare was important and I didn't know what would happen and I didn't like that.

I was in the Diana was admitted in. I was just packing her stuff up, just then I got called to the ground floor. Nick was with our neighbour he couldn't stay in the hospital for this long. Diana was with the psychologist as it was hospital policy that anyone admitted after something traumatic had to go through one of them. I walked up to the lift and pressed the buttons and it went to the ground floor. I saw Chris there. 

"Are you here to get the kids?". I asked straight to the point, as I didn't want to spend more time with him. 

"No, I am here to tell you that you can have the kids forever we just want to visit them sometimes it will go just like it did earlier". He said to my surprise. I totally thought the opposite and I understand that they would want to visit them sometimes. But only if they agreed. 

"Thank you, and yeah you can visit them but ask the kids first I can't decide this for them it's their choice". I said. 

"Alright, I will talk to them". He said and we both shook our hands and he just walked away. I went up to her room. Diana was just laying down on the bed. 

"Dad I wanna go home". She said. 

"We are going today, Just paperwork is left". I said. 

"Yes". She said 

The psychologist called me outside. 

"How did it go?" I ask. 

"So far and from what Diana told me and my exam I would say there is a really slight chance that this would have wrecked her mind if she starts to show any of the signs which you know what they are  just get her to don't delay it." She said to my relief. 

"Thanks" .I said she nodded and walked away I quickly did the discharge paperwork after asking the nurse for it. After everything was done, I helped Diana to the car. She sat in the backseat as we both knew the front one would be dangerous. I started the drive to our home. 

"Dad can you turn the music on I am tired of hearing the machines beeping all day." She said.

"Sure". I said and turned the radio on. 

"Today we are playing the new album of Niall Horan Heartbreak weather". The man on the radio said. I had listened to this one a good one. Soon, we reached Neil's house and I called him as Diana couldn't really walk and I didn't want to leave her alone in the car as the man wasn't arrested. 

I told him to bring Nick outside which he did then we went straight home. I Parked the car outside the home. I got out and unlocked the house I knew nick wanted to just hug Diana but he couldn't cause of the stitches. I unlocked the door with the key and opened the door. I went back to the car and carried Diana in nick also followed shortly behind. I carried her to the couch and gently laid her down.

"Thank you, dad". She said sleepily. 

"Don't worry about it and don't sleep now you need to eat something I am turning the tv on". I said and turned the tv on and went into the kitchen to make something and nick followed me. 

DIANA POV 

I was really sleepy now and dad said to not sleep. Nick was with dad in the kitchen. I just thought to focus on the tv. My eyes were closing and soon I didn't fight them anymore and let them close. 

The man was standing in front of me dad and nick were on the floor blood pouring out and making a pool of it. He was standing right there with a gun in his hand and I couldn't move and he was about to shoot me and I started breathing heavily. I felt hands wrap around me and controlling my legs. 

I started to open my eyes to find dad and Nick around me trying to control me and soon I was alright.

"Diana, what happened in the dream talk to me?" Dad said kneeling on one knee in front of the couch

I told him everything that happened. He hugged me. 

"That's why I told you to eat something, take your meds, and then sleep". He said. 

"Sorry, dad". I said. 

"It's alright, I am getting the food, eat it and after taking your meds you can sleep". He said. 

"Okay". I said. 

He got up and went into the kitchen. 

SAM POV 

Nick stood beside me. He was quiet today. 

"Nick what's up?".  I asked. 

"Nothing, just thinking about something". He said. 

"Is that something the day of the shooting?". I asked cause of the look on his face it was clear that it was it. 

"Yep, I was thinking about that day". He said. 

"Nick don't think about that, that day is now gone forever and I don't want it to come back for you or me please try to not think about it". I said. 

"I'll try". He said. 

DIANA POV 

Dad came with food and all of us had it together. Nick went up to our room saying he was tired and needed to nap for a bit. Then dad came with the meds and a bottle of water. 

"Dad, I don't want to have those". I said. 

"Diana you need to, you need these to recover and to stop those bad dreams and to prevent things that might happen in the future so come on". He said. 

I took them from his hands and just did it.

" Great, now I am taking you up to your room have a nap". He said.

"Yep". I said as he picked me up and climbed up the stairs and opened the door to our room and laid me down on the bed and tucked me in.

" Rest well". He said.

"Thank you". I said as the meds I just took had me out.
