Fields of Gold; Daniel Ricciardo

New year

"We understand you had a rough night, but we would like to talk to you and ask some questions." The taller of the two starts. "I'm officer Cook and this is my partner officer Ryan."
"Nice to meet you, I'm Skylar Ha.. I mean Ricciardo, sorry we haven't been married that long." I smile at them, "please take a seat. I'm sorry we have to do this here, but I was ordered to stay in bed for 2 days."

"No problem, I hope everything is ok?" Officer Cook asks.
"It is, but it almost wasn't." I feel my anger boiling again.
"We understand, could you please take us through what happened?" Officer Ryan asks, so I take a deep breath and start talking.

"We had dinner and because I had been helping in the kitchen Daniel, Michael and his dad told me to go outside as that was the plan for after dinner anyways." Daniel comes in with 2 cups of coffee for the officers and tea for us.
"I decided to go see my horse for a bit and then suddenly this woman showed up. She knew my name, but I had never seen her before. She started talking about how she is supposed to be with Daniel and that it was only a matter of time before he would go back to her.
So I told her we are married and have a baby on the way, but then she said that he was only staying because he's a good guy. If there was no more baby he would leave me."

I feel my hands start to shake thinking about what happened next. Daniel notices and puts his hands around mine.
"She was scaring me so I wanted to go back to the house, but then she pushed me in my back, so I fell forward. I was only able to turn slightly so my stomach wouldn't have to take the full blow when I hit the ground. I must have screamed, because then Daniel and the rest came running to us. Daniel, Michael and I went to the doctor and I think Joe called you. So whatever happened after I don't know."

They have been writing down everything I said as well as record it so they can listen to it later.
"Did you get hurt in any way?" Officer Ryan asks.
"I thought I was going to lose our baby. We were very lucky that didn't happen, I was bleeding, but that was a blood vessel that burst inside of me." I swallow back the lump that is forming.

"We lost a baby earlier this year, so maybe you can imagine the pure terror that we experienced last night. Fearing we were going to lose another baby. And by the hands of somebody else, not because there is anything wrong with this baby. And besides that I scraped my arm and leg when I fell on the dirt." I show my arm and leg, they ask if they can take some pictures and I let them. Anything that can help I will do.

"She wanted to hurt our baby, she actually said that. It was just a bump in the road to get Daniel back, so she decided to get rid of that bump. She is crazy and I truly hope she gets punished for what she tried to do." My blood is boiling after reliving it all again.
"Well if you want to officially press charges she will face the consequences, she has already confessed and threatened to do it again. So we're positive she will be locked up for a while." 

"I definitely want to press charges. She cannot attack our unborn baby and get away with it."
They note everything and explain that because she confessed already it will probably be a simple case.
I explain them I will be in Europe after our wedding and because of the pregnancy I won't be able to travel in a couple of months.
The only time I'm coming back to Australia is for the Grand Prix.

Apparently if they need me to testify, I can do that through a conference call, so that won't be an issue.
After a while they thank us for our time and get up to leave.

"Are you ok baby?" Daniel comes back after letting the officers out.
"Yeah I'm fine. I'm just still so mad and I hate that. I'm not an angry person, you know that. Just the thought of her purposely trying to hurt our child infuriates me. I would like to have some time alone with her. She would be unrecognizable when I'd be done with her." Daniel climbs on the bed next to me and pulls me against him.
