The Bill-
I do not own the bill or any of its characters.
"Don't worry Jake, Me and Liam will come and visit you from Spain soon darling" Pippa said while giving her son an affectionate hug.
Pippa's ex-husband DI Neil Manson watched the scene from behind Jake with disgust. It was around the time where Jake was most likely to have a relapse of leukaemia. He had been diagnosed 2 years ago and had been undergoing treatment ever since. It had now been found that the cancer cells had been destroyed. Neil could not believe that Pippa was going back to Spain when Jake most needed her support.
When Pippa finally let go she gave a curt nod to Neil, another wave to Jake and then turned around to board their plane. The only time she looked back was when she was about to enter the boarding area, she showed a smile and walked into the area. Jake didn't even shed a tear at the fact his mother had gone without him, though it was Jake's choice, he didn't want to go to Spain and leave his Dad who he had such a good relationship with.
"Come on mate, it's time to go, I have to go back to work, do you want me to drop you of at Aunt Lucie's? "
"No dad, I wanna come to work with you!" Jake told his dad.
Neil let out a small sigh, they weren't meant to bring their kids to work and his colleagues didn't know that Jake had leukaemia, well they would when they saw that Jake had only half of his hair on his head. Jake had had chemotherapy and had lost all of his hair. It had started growing back but there will still patches here and there. 'oh well' he thought, he'd rather have Jake happy than have a few awkward stares for the next few days.
"come on then Jakey" he said taking his eleven year old's hand. It felt so frail that Neil's heart broke. He took him out to the car and he let Jake choose a CD that he wanted playing. He chose someone called Black Eyed Peas. Neil had never heard of them before.
when they got to the station Neil took in a deep breath, he knew that no one would say anything while Jake was there but the moment he left Neil would be bombarded with questions or well wishers, he couldn't handle that right now but he had to do it for Jake.
" Dad, are you okay?" Jake asked his dad curiously.
"Yes Jake, I'm fine, don't worry about me" he smiled at his son.
He got out of the car and went round to the passengers side, he opened the door for his son while he grabbed his back pack, it was full of food and the medication he had to take, of course it had his teddy in it as well, he had got it from hid dad when he was only little.
Neil took his sons hand and took him into the station. Neil got out his warranty card and flashed it at the scanner. the doors up to CID came open. Jake smiled.
" Morning Neil" came a few voices as they walked down the hallway. They just reached the doors up to CID, Neil took a deep breath and pushed the doors open. Everyone in CID let out a gasp.
i will try and do another chapter later today, please review!
