Dream House Nightmare Page #4

---

Some of these families have

been here for generations.

They just take

a few minutes for them

to warm up to newcomers.

But let me tell you,

there is not one person

here that is vicious,

that would ever

want to do anything

to hurt you, Thom,

especially that baby.

Why don't

we just stand here together

and not say anything

for a while?

Theresa?

Shh, shh, shh, shh!

Hey, everyone,

be quiet, please?

Thom, there's someone

on the roof.

Quiet!

Be quiet!

What's the matter with you?

There's someone

on the roof, Thom.

What?

Thom?

Theresa, oh, my God,

are you okay?

I think

I'm having contractions.

Can you walk?

Who's up there?

Okay. That's it.

Let's go.

Pam, stop!

Oh, I'll be damned

if I let some hillbilly

terrorize my neighbor.

Oh, I see you.

Eddie, call the cops.

Enjoy your party, b*tch.

She's at 37 weeks.

Her water broke

in the car.

Alert neonatal

and get an O.B. here, stat.

Dr. Rivera's

on the way, Dr. Wade.

Wait, wait, wait, wait.

What if it's too early?

What if

the baby can't breathe?

You can do this.

Hey.

Oh, I promise

I won't wake them.

You thought

you didn't sleep before.

Now you're really in for it.

They both okay?

Yeah. Theresa did

an amazing job.

The police questioned us.

We told them

everything we knew,

including finding

the note too.

Listen, I am so sorry

about all this.

Nothing to be sorry about.

We have your back.

The whole neighborhood does.

This is our security,

and they're good.

You connect through

your cell phone, all that.

Yeah.

Little angel.

Little Isla.

Hey.

Hey.

They tried to get her

to sleep in her bassinet,

but she just wants

to be with her mommy.

It's amazing.

This little baby

doesn't know what anything is

other than the sound

of your voice

and the beat

of your heart.

She needs you.

How can I

take her back there?

That horrible person

is out there

trying to find

some other way to hurt us.

What if

I can't protect her?

The police are looking

for them right now,

so don't you

even fret about that.

Is your mama

not coming down?

I was raised

by my great aunt,

and she's gone.

Thom doesn't have

any more family either,

so it's just

the three of us now.

Well, you've got me and Eddie.

Oh, please let me come over

when Thom's at work.

I promise

I'll be real quiet.

I can cook

and do your laundry.

I can even hold little Isla

when you want

to take a break.

Please say yes,

because if you don't,

I'm just going

to worry to death.

Okay.

Yeah?

Sounds amazing.

Thank you.

But--

But what?

What if they come back?

Oh, please, God,

let them come back.

I would love

to kick their ass.

Sorry.

Okay, baby?

Welcome home, guys.

Hey, guys!

Welcome home.

So glad you're home!

Wow. Look at all this.

Yeah.

Ah, man.

Look what all

we got for you.

Everyone pitched in.

Oh, so cute.

We're gonna let

y'all get settled.

Yeah.

Okay.

Bye.

Enjoy.

I have

another surprise for you.

You do?

You're in a good mood.

I get to babysit!

I can't wait to get

that little baby.

Next thing

you'll be telling me

you want one too.

Hey, Eddie.

What?

Eddie, look.

That's the same car.

I saw that car the night

of the Mardi Gras party.

How do you know that car

had anything

to do with it?

There's lots of cars.

Yeah.

No peeking.

I'm not.

Are you peeking?

No.

All right.

Right here. Open.

You finished it.

The guys worked all night

to get it done.

I know.

What if--

No, no. It--

It's just the three of us.

Come on.

Look.

Look at your room, Isla.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

We did it.

You did it.

Come on.

Hey, Pam?

Yeah?

I'm sorry.

Can you help me?

I don't know what to do.

What do you want to wear

this thing for?

She's hungry,

but she won't latch.

I'm just too much

in pain to even walk

to the back room.

And everything hurts,

and you're leaking fluids,

and she won't do

what you need her to do.

I'm so tired,

and this is just--

I feel like

I'm burning up.

You don't have

to cover up for me.

I won't faint.

Honey, I got

a pair of my own,

just a little bit

lower than yours.

You need to lie down.

You need food and a nap.

She won't latch.

You need

one of them thingies.

She won't take a bottle.

No, not a bottle.

You need a nipple shield.

It teaches the baby

how to shape her mouth.

No, the mommy bloggers

say that--

Theresa,

sweetie, they're idiots.

Now, I'm gonna leave you

this sandwich,

and I'm gonna get up

and go on down

to the Shop 'n Save

and get you one,

and I'm telling you,

it's going to change your life.

A nipple shield

will change my life?

At least

it's one less thing

for you to worry about.

Thanks, Pam.

All right.

You're the best.

Please?

I know I been different.

And you're right.

It's the drugs.

But I think I'm ready

to get help now,

and I just wanted

to say I was sorry.

Mad... I don't want

to lose you.

Don't touch me.

Madison, please.

I'm sorry!

God damn it!

Madison, where are you?

Madison?

No. No,

it's Mommy's secret pla--

Get out of here.

Go.

Please, Isla.

Come on, Isla, please.

Oh, thank God.

You did it.

Good job, baby.

Good job, Isla.

There you go.

Hi. I think I'm lost.

Could you help me?

You know

exactly where you are,

and I got

your license plate.

And the cops

are gonna know, too.

Hey! What are you doing?

Wait! Stop!

Stop! Stop!

Hey! Help!

Stop!

Pam?

Here I am, baby.

What?

What?

And you know what I want.

Stop! Stop!

Shut up!

Theresa!

What--What are you doing?

This is not

what we agre--

Son of a--

Theresa? Theresa,

where are you?

Yes, he's disarmed,

but please come quick.

Oh, my--What in the world?

I kicked his ass.

You okay?

Yeah. I'm all right.

It's worth it,

'cause I got this.

Sir, you need

to sign in.

Excuse me.

Sir, you can't

go back there!

Security!

Destiny.

She knows who I am.

She's gonna take you

away from me.

Mama, what's wrong?

Mama's gonna go away

for a very long time, baby.

No!

Shh.

Mad.

Madison.

Hey. Look

at your beautiful face.

Look at those bruises

I put on it.

That was me.

Whatever mess

you've gotten yourself

into, Madison,

it was just as much me

as it was you.

I'm so ashamed for putting

my hands on you.

I'm gonna kill him.

Destiny, go to your room.

Is that what

you wanted the whole time?

His wife would have

to move, right?

I mean, if her husband

was dead, right?

Once he's gone,

we can start over

like he never

existed at all.

It's not about him.

It's about the house!

The house

that we put an offer on.

The Wades, they outbid us.

Or his wife out smiled us.

I don't know what!

But that house

was for our family!

That was for our--our home,

a-and we needed it more,

so I--I tried

to move them out.

I made her an offer,

but she laughed at me,

so I--I played

a few pranks.

You know, I--I wrote

a few scary notes.

You know?

"Your blood is mine."

I mean, harmless stuff.

Then the pranks,

they became

less harmless, and...

You know what it's like
