*Lauren's P.O.V*

I turn to see Beth carrying my baby girl. I rush over to her and pick her up. I smother her face with kisses. She giggles. I feel tears go down my face. "What's wrong mommy?" She asks. I shake my head. "I'm glad to have you back in my arms Tia" I say to her.

I turn to see the group confused. "Guys this is my daughter Tia" I say. You can see the steam coming out of Shane's ears. Daryl is the closest to me and he notices Shane's anger. "Beth can you take Tia upstairs please" I ask her nicely.

She nods and walks out of the room. As soon as she left Shane stormed up to me. "You had a child and you didn't tell me. She looks 4. That means you you had her at 16 you whore" Shane yells. I then felt a hand against my cheek and a stinging sensation. I heard a couple people gasp. I hear movement. I turn to see Shane pushed up against the wall. Daryl had him by the collar of his shirt. "Don't you bloody touch her! Stay the hell away from Lauren and Tia" Daryl threatens.

Daryl let's Shane go and grabs my hand and pulls be upstairs. We reach the door we needed to go to. I knock. She shouts is to come in. I walk in with Daryl right behind me. Beth was sitting on one bed and Tia was on the floor with a load of toys round her. "Cieran stayed in here with her before. But he is coming into my room. So you can stay in this room." Beth tells me. She then leaves.

"Mommy!" Tia shouts and runs to me. I lean down and pick her up into my arms. "Hello my beautiful girl" I then place her on the bed. She then looks over by the door. "Who's that mommy?" I turn to see Daryl smiling. I signal him to come over. He walks over and sits on the bed. "I'm Daryl" he says causing Tia to giggle. He looks at her confused. "What you laughing at" causing her to giggle more. "You have a funny accent" she teases. I smile to myself. "Oh yea?" Daryl then leans over to tickle Tia. She laughs away. "You think my accent is funny huh" he teases while tickling the small child. I laugh at how playful Daryl was being.

Before long, Daryl and Tia both settled down. I laid on the left had Side of the bed. Daryl laid on the right side of the bed. Tia then squeezed herself between me and Daryl. "Mommy can you tell me a story?" Tia asks. I nod.

"One day in the middle of winter, when the snowflakes fell from the sky like feathers, a queen sat at a window netting. Her netting-needle was of black ebony, and as she worked, and the snow glittered, she pricked her finger, and three drops of blood fell into the snow. The red spots looked so beautiful in the white snow that the queen thought to herself: "Oh, if I only had a little child, I should like it to be as fair as snow, as rosy as the red blood, and with hair and eyes as black as ebony."

Very soon after this the queen had a little daughter who was very fair, had rosy cheeks, and hair as black as ebony; and they gave her the name of Snow-white. But at the birth of the little child the queen died.

When Snow-white was a year old, the king took another wife. She was very handsome, but so proud and vain that she could not endure that anyone should surpass her in beauty. She possessed a wonderful mirror, and when she stood before it to look at herself she would say:
"Mirror, mirror on the wall, Am I most beautiful of all?"

Then the mirror would reply:
"Young queen, thou are so wondrous fair, None can with thee at all compare."

Then she would go away quite contented, for she knew the magic mirror could speak only the truth.

Years went by, and as Snow-white grew up, she became day after day more beautiful, till she reached the age of seven years, and then people began to talk about her, and say that she would be more lovely even than the queen herself. So the proud woman went to her magic looking-glass, and asked:
"Mirror, mirror on the wall,
Am I most beautiful of all?"

But the mirror answered:

"Queen, thou are lovely still to see,
But Snow-white will be
A thousand times more beautiful than thee."

Then the queen was terrified, and turned green and yellow with jealousy. If she had caught sight of Snow-white at that moment, she would have been ready to tear her heart out of her body, she hated the maiden so fiercely.

And this jealousy and envy grew every day stronger and stronger in her heart, like a disease, till she had no rest day or night.

At last she sent for a hunter, who lived near a forest, and said to him, "Hunter, I want to get rid of that child. Take her out into the wood, and if you bring me some proofs that she is dead, I will reward you handsomely. Never let her appear before my eyes again." I stopped there when I noticed Tia had fallen asleep. 

"She's amazing" Daryl whispers. "You and Tia got on very well" I smile. "Shh and go to sleep" I face Daryl and he faces me. He places a hand on my waist before falling asleep. I fell asleep not long after.
