All Chapters of Breaking the Eye Wall: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

 Deanna Anderson stood in the front hallway of the house she shared with her husband of six months waiting for him to come home from teaching at the local police academy. She was looking at the portrait of their wedding day that he had selected from the hundreds of photos that his cousin and her new company had taken. They had four albums from the day.It was a moment of peace in the house as the triplets and baby were taking their naps, and Deanna could have a moment to herself. It was a rare thing for her during the day. She looked at the photo next to it as well. It was the one taken on the day she had graduated from college, which was five months ago. There were two photos in that frame. One was just her, and the other was that of her with the family the two of them had built together.Henry, Poppy, Clover,  and Michelle had become her f

   After dinner, Max and Deanna watched Tv while the four played in the area they had made for them to play. It was just a corner of the room, but it held all the toys for the two older girls and Henry. Michelle sat in her bouncy car and would jump and get mad at the others if they took her plastic teething keys. They were her favorite thing to chew on and often throw at her parents when they displeased her too much by not hurrying with her bottle.Michelle was the one of the four who had a temper. At least as an infant she still had one when someone displeased her. Often the only thing that would get her out of one of her moods was either a bottle or Max talking to her. She would smile at him with her toothless grin and her whole face would light up when he spoke to her and told her about the elves she must have come from. Deanna could see herself

Deanna knew that over the next few days, things would be busy as the case was headed for trial in the next two weeks. Though it seemed like forever at some points, she knew it would fly by. No one that was involved with the case wanted to put any stress on her. Not only because she was very pregnant or the fact her husband was one of their own, but it also was the young woman who was always front and center in helping to build the case was the shinning star they all needed. She had helped at every turn without thought to herself or her own mental state.There was nothing that could be said about h

Max and Deanna had one more stop to make before they went back home for the rest of the day. They were enjoying the weekend for what it was as he didn’t have to work so hard now that everything was streamlined in his classes. The academy bent over backwards to give him what he wanted or could possibly wat to help his students. It was a vast difference from the university and how they had treated him with his simple requests that he needed fifteen forms for. He could focus on his family and himself more and he loved that.Deanna smiled at the reaction she had received from everyone at the sta

People often asked Deanna if she had gone to see her siblings where they were being held. She couldn’t understand why people would try to defend them to her as well. It was their fault or the biggest one she hated to hear was that forgiveness was key in keeping her happy. Deanna wanted to lash out at most of theose people. Surprisingly most of her family’s friends had reached out to her at some point and they said the same things. That she should just move on, or that she should help cover it up, the idea that she could even remotely want to cover things up was beyond her. She hated the idea that people actually believed she was the driving force to getting David locked up and exposing the family’s secrets.

They had to prepare for the meetings that would begin for the trial. Neither of them was looking forward to it. Max’s job knew what this was about and they had begun to prepare him as well. His classes had another professor stepping in to help with the class when he wasn’t there. Everyone knew this was going to be a long one.The working relationship between the police who were involved and the lawyers was not even strained because of the hardships. Everyone had rallied around Max and Deanna as they moved forward. Foe the time being they had limited the amount of contact that David&rsq

uneditedMax’s turn in the room came the following day. Deanna had told him of the way the questions had gone in which wasn’t a huge surprise. They had thought of at least four different ways the legal team would try to spin this and David’s actions in it.“Max it was like you said.” Deanna said as she sat down at the table while dinner was cooking on the stove.

Max found himself in front of the lawyers again the next day. Though they had begun the day before it was mostly bickering about him as a witness and an officer of the law. They had to figure out the best way to question him because he was both. He had a professional hand in this and he had a personal one.“Mr. Anderson, how would you describe your part in the cases and the overall part in this case?” One of David’s lawyers asked when they began the second day of pre trial questioning.

Deanna was happy when Max walked in the door. He knew the moment he saw her that this was a good night. Though he had been through the wringer with the lawyers who he thought of as the worse then scum on a pond at this point. They had basically outlined there case to him with the types of questions they asked. It was plain to see how this whole case was going to go.Max looked over to his tiny wife and the three little goblins as he called them. They were all sitting on a blanket with Michelle in her exosaucer toy that she was bouncing in. He smiled as he watched them all realize he was home as he

After they managed to get the toddlers down for bed and Michelle was dozing on his chest. Max started really thinking about the future. “You know when I bought this house three years ago I never thought I would have to share it with five other people and then add one more.”“Max we already talked about moving.” Deanna responded without looking up from the article she was reading on the tablet Max had given her for a half year anniversary.
