"This parenting thing is for the birds!" Leigh exclaimed as Isaac came home from work a few months later.
"Hello to you too," Isaac said, kissing Leigh.
"Take her," Leigh said, extending the hip hugger child to her father.
"Someone in a bad mood?" Isaac asked.
"A little. I mean, she cries all day, and I have no clue what to do!" Leigh exclaimed.
"Well Leigh, I'd love to stay, but unfortunately I have to go on a business call," Isaac said, kissing his daughter and handing her back to Leigh.
Leigh stared at Isaac. "Isaac, I've been here all day with Autumn and now you're leaving again?"
"I'm sorry, baby, I have to," Isaac said, unbuttoning his tie and changing into something a little less fancy. "I'll be home around ten," he said, kissing
her cheek and walking out the door. Leigh stomped her feet in disgust as Autumn began to cry once again.
"I think we should get going," Leigh said, coming into the room. "I mean, I have to wash up."
"Are you sure you want me to go with you?" Isaac asked.
"I'm sure," she said.
"Okay. Well, I guess we'll see you all later. And Kayla and Katelyn, it was nice meeting you both," Isaac said, smiling and waving. They left the house
and hopped into the car.
"I just want to get some stuff, and leave. That's it and nothing more," Leigh said, backing out of the driveway.
"Its okay, Leigh. I'm here," Isaac said gently, placing a hand on hers. She smiled and began driving down the road in silence.
A few minutes later the trio came to Leigh's house. Stepping out of the car, Isaac reached in the backseat for his daughter, holding her up on his hip.
"He's home," Leigh said, staring at his car.
"It's okay, nothing will happen. I'm here," Isaac assured her.
"Isaac, I have a really bad feeling about this," Leigh said as Isaac pushed her to go on.
"Leigh, I'm here, no one will hurt you," he said, trying to urge her to go in.
Shrugging, Leigh opened the door to the house and walked in silently. The two along with Autumn in Isaac's arms was completely quiet. Leigh started for the stairs when she gasped and stared into the eyes of
Kyle.
"Well, well, well. What do we have here?" he asked crudely.
"I'm only here for my belongings and then I'm gone," Leigh said from the bottom of the stairwell.
"I don't think you'll be going anywhere my dear," Kyle snickered as he reached the bottom of the stairs. He reached out for Leigh, but Isaac's hand caught his.
"Is this your new screw, Leigh?" Kyle snarled, his eyes gleaming into Isaac's.
"Fuck you, Kyle," Leigh screamed as she began to run away.
Kyle then bolted after Leigh, but Isaac placed his body between them so he could no longer go after her.
"Move out of my fucking way, you bastard!" Kyle screamed enraged at Isaac.
"I don't think so, Kyle," Isaac said back, staring him down.
"You're dead," was Kyle's last words before he swung at Isaac's head.
The two began to fight, Kyle overpowering Isaac. Isaac managed to swing Kyle off from his back a few times. Kyle then got up from the floor and took Isaac's throat in his hands slamming him against the wall with Leigh and Autumn screaming and crying in the background. Kyle's fist connected with Isaac's jaw, forehead, stomach and nose a few times before Isaac
could get any blows to Kyle's jaw and nose.
Kyle then slammed Isaac's body down on the ground back up and began pounding his back where his spine was. Isaac yelled in pain, hearing his love and daughter scramble to him as Kyle got off of him. The last thing Isaac could hear was "It'll be okay, help is on the way."
