Anniversary

Micheal's POV

Today's the day of Ryan and Anna's anniversary and I'm taking Leanne to their grave. She hasn't been there since the first time and I'm really worried about her breaking down like last time, but even though I hate to see her upset, It wouldn't be fair of me to tell her she can't go. Not that she needs my permission anyway.

She hasn't mentioned anything about Maria and I haven't brought it up to her yet because of her parents anniversary and Mary's trial is tomorrow, but we do need to talk about it and start making arrengments for her funeral, but I thought it would be best to wait until after the trail to talk to her about it and my family agreed that now wouldn't be the best time.

We've spoken a little about the trail, but like always with Leanne she'll talk about it for a moment then quickly change the topic which is why I'm so worried about tomorrow because when we're in court, she's gonna have to go into detail about everything. Myself and my family have prepared her as much as we can, but it took her months to tell me what was going on and even then she didn't tell me the whole story for a long time after which is why I'm worried about what will happen tomorrow when she has to stand up in front of a courtroom full of strangers and go into details about about happened to her and what Mary put her through.

After making us both some breakfast, I go upstairs to wake Leanne and as I'm about to go into our room I hear the bathroom door open.

"Hey, I thought you were still sleeping" I smile slightly. "I woke up awhile ago. I just wanted to take a shower before we leave" she smiles at me through pursed lips. "How are you feeling?" I ask softly. "I'm ok" she shrugs "I'm really hungry though"

"Breakfast is downstairs. I'll meet you down there" I smile through pursed lips and leave her to get dressed.

After a few minutes Leanne comes downstairs and so far she hasn't mentioned anything about her parents and has mainly been talking about baby stuff.

"I can't wait until the next ultrasound. We get to find out the gender next time!" She smiles excitedly then suddenly goes silent. "Are you ok?"

"Mhm. I just remembered I forgot to get flowers for my parents"

"That's ok, the flower store down the street has really nice ones, i'll walk over and get some"

"It's ok I can go" she smiles getting up from her seat "i'll be back in a moment"

"I don't mind going for you"

"I'll be fine. Plus I already know the kind I want" she smiles then goes quiet again and looks like she's about to cry.

"Baby, if it's too much for you, we don't have to go" I say softly wrapping my arms around her. "I'll be ok" she smiles at me through pursed lips. "I'll be back in a minute" she says putting her coat on to leave. "Why don't I come with you" I suggest and she shakes her head. "I'll be ok. I just need a moment alone" she mutters and I nod. "I'll be right here waiting for you" I smile and peck her lips and she kisses me back the same way then turns and leaves.

Leannes POV

After a few minutes of walking around, I find the flower shop and I'm just about to go inside when I hear someone call my name and turn to see a very heavily pregnant Lisa on the other end of the street, making her way over to me and I turn and quickly make my way inside before she gets any closer.

After looking around for a while, I find the perfect flowers which my mom and Dad will love then go to the counter to pay for them.

"Someone's birthday?" The man behind the counter asks as I'm paying for the flowers. "Umm.. my parents anniversary" I smile at him through pursed lips. "I'm sure they'll love these. How long have they been married?"
