The Spanish Summer Sun was beaming down on husband and wife Jez and Sian Diamond as they laid on the lounges around the pool. The couple were enjoying their week away from school. Jez had noticed that in the last week of school, Sian seemed really uptight and secretive. He put it down to being stressed and the fact she had A* students who were about to take their all important exams. For a treat he had paid for an all inclusive holiday to Menorca. Sian was looking forward to the idea of just them to being together. That wasn't quite the plan.

'Can we go down to the beach now?' Maddie moaned as she hoisted herself out of the pool.

'Why would you want to go to the beach, when you have an all inclusive pool and spa rooms in the hotel?' Jez replied, still laying straight in hope to get a tan.

'but da-'

'Jez it wouldn't harm us all taking a trip down to the beach?' Sian smirked as she sat up wrapping a pastel yellow sarong around her waist.

Jez sighed as he to sat up and slipped his feet into his flip-flops. He wanted a relaxingly day by the pool, Martini's being ordered for him and Sian but instead he had to go to the beach. He hated the beach. A childhood memory always haunted him.

flashback

Little Jeremy was playing happily with his dad, they were building sandcastles with a moat, shells were placed around the edge's of the castle. A little flag was stuck in the top. Jeremy and his dad stood in front of their castle looking proud. His mum took the camera out of the bag and snapped the moment.

'daddy can I bury you please?' Jeremy sweetly asked as his dad was catching some rays.

'Off we go then son'

He beamed at the thought of burying his dad in the sand. He raced to the edge of the water and got a bucket full of wet sand . 'He'll never get out now' he thought as his little legs ran as fast as he could back to his dad. Bit by bit he began to push the sand up on his legs and pattering the wet sand down around his feet. His dad chuckled as he felt the wet sand against his skin.

Jeremy jumped up at the sight of his dad completely covered in sand. He ran back over to his mum and picked up his dad's straw hat, he placed it on his dad's head so he wouldn't get sun burnt on his head.

Telling his mum that he would be playing in the water, Jeremy ran to the edge of the water and began to jump the waves, he ran back as the waves touched the end of his toes. Being a little bit sneaky, he peered back at his mum and his dad, who was now sand free. They wouldn't mind if he went a little bit further. So he did, Jeremy put each foot in front of each other until the water reached his knee caps. Jumping the waves, Jeremy began to laugh to himself. The cold water hitting his knees made him squirm.

'JEREMY BE CAREFUL' His dad shouted as he stood up to keep an eye out for his son.

Turing back to look at his dad but carrying on walking further Jeremy shouted back ' I'LL BE FINE DADD-'

He was cut short as his legs fell down a slop, he was unaware that the slop was there. His body was dragged under water. His eyes were stinging from the saltiness of the sea, keeping his mouth open by accident, the water went pouring in until he was choking on the water.

Oliver Diamond saw his son was underwater, his arms were waving above his body which was taken captive by the water. Throwing his hat down, he dashed to the water. Hearing the screams of her son, Helen Diamond rose to her feet and screamed herself. Running to the shore front to find her husband crouched over the body of her little boy.

End of flashback

'Everything alright babe?' Sian muttered as she put her arms around his shoulders.

'Yeah course, why wouldn't it be?' he replied with a slight sigh of worry in his voice, but he reassured Sian by giving her a passionate kiss.

Maddie and Zack came racing back down to the pool with their inflatables and towels. Maddie had her bridge camera on her shoulder, she was determined to get some 'professional' like photos of the family.

'I'm just going to pop to the loo and get something from the bedroom, meet me outside the hotel gates yeah?' Sian smiled as she took the key from Jez, gave him a kiss before walking down to the bedroom.

Opening the door to their room, Sian kicked her flip-flops off and collapsed on the bed. It was far to hot to be trekking it down to the beach. Closing her eyes for a second she let herself go into a light daze. The sound of her phone vibrating on the bed side table awoke her. Glancing at her phone she noticed she had only been asleep for ten minutes. But something else had caught her eyes. '9 missed Calls- Michael Byrne.. 3 text messages-Michael Byrne'

This week away was not only a lovely way to relax but it was torture. Her idea of a half term was spending some time with her family then seeing Michael. Oh Michael. She was meant to be truthful to her husband but there was something about Michael that pulled her in. She knew it had it always been Michael, but she couldn't admit it to herself. Jez did have his faults, his outrageous ideas for them to spend time together but she still loved him.

Quickly opening the messages she began to read each one slowly.

'are you ok? Haven't heard from you today. I miss you xxx'

'How am I meant to cope a week in my house when your not down the road?'

'Ok I get your on Holiday Mrs Diamond, but reply I'm missing you'

The corners of her mouth began to curve into a smile knowing that Michael was missing her. She was happy with Jez right? She was now a step mum, she had a responsibility to look after them. To make sure she was being both a teacher and a step mum to them both, but she couldn't resist the temptation.

Griping her phone in her hand, she quickly wiped her faced with a face wipe and left the room. Walking down the corridor she managed to reply to one of Michael's messages. With the occasional glance in front of her to make sure she wasn't going to walk into anything or anyone.

'sorry I was relaxing by the pool, won't be long until I'm home. You can wait three more days surely?xxxx'

Placing her phone in her bag, she rushed back to the hotel gates she saw Jez. He looked so innocent, so in love with her yet she was being unfaithful to him. Resuming with her fling with Michael that ended long ago, and shouldn't of been restarted but she just couldn't help myself.

'You ready now babe?' Jez asked taking her hand in his.

Nodding and gently smiling, the family of four were off to the day down the beach. Through-out the walk down to the beach, Sian couldn't help but think of Michael. He was on her head all day long, as much as she tried to get him off her head. She just couldn't. Nothing in her life was impossible but getting Michael out her head was the hardest thing.

Relaxing on the beach with the sun beating down on her skin felt like heaven. The sound of the waves crashing sent her into a trance. Every so often she could feel Jez looking at her making her smile.

'Is there a reason your staring at me Jez?

'Yeah dad that's just creepy'

'Oi you, go and annoy your sister or something, and for your information I am allowed to look at my wife'

Sian smirked as hoisted herself up, picking up her purse on the way up. 'I'm going to get a ice-cream, do you reckon Maddie and Zack will want one?'

Running down to the shore, Sian watched her husband joke around with the children she had taken in as her own. It wasn't fair on them. Their parents had split up because of her and Jez's affair, they were dumped on Jez and now were adapting to the idea of having a step mother. If they were to find out about how she'd been cheating on their father there was no way she was going to be their favourite step mother.

Returning back to Sian. Jez joined her as they strolled slowly across the hot golden sand. Their conversation consisted on how relaxing their holiday had been so far ignoring the fact that Maddie and Zack had argued a few times. Jez's ideas of holidays were normally trekking across desert lands or cycling the idea golden coast of Australia. So it was lovely to be able to just have a holiday were they could relax, not do anything.

'Thanks for this Sian, you really are the best' Maddie smiled as they all sat on the towels.

'No problem, as long as you both are enjoying the last few days'

'We sure are, can we come again next year?' Zack questioned 'please'

'Zack we'll have to come back after the baby is born' Jez replied putting his hand on the small swell of Sian's stomach. Giving it a small rub, his mouth began to curve into the most humongous smile but it a was smile that melt your heart.

The pregnancy had come as a shock to them both, they weren't planning on having any children but if they were fortunate to conceive they would take it happily and welcome the little miracle. Jez was elated at the prospect of being a father again, she was only a few months gone. Nearly 4 months to be precise. When she had told him, he had gone out straight away coming back with a few bags of baby things. He had threw names at Sian in the first week of knowing their news. He just wanted the baby to arrive already.

Zack and Maddie warmed to the idea of having a new brother of sister over time, it was a more of a shock to them. Maddie was hoping for a little sister that she could play with and show off, Zack wanted a little brother so he could teach him about the things he liked. Their past few years had been a whirlwind, having their parents split up, being dumped on their father and their new step-mum, and now they are having a new sibling. Yet, they both liked the idea of seeing Sian progress and their little sibling to grow and make an entrance.

Sian however, was totally thrown back at the thought of being pregnant. Inside she too was elated. A little person was growing inside her, what more could a woman want? When Jez came back with the baby things the realisation hit her. This baby has two potential fathers. Michael or Jez. Jez or Michael. This was the breaking point for her. Sooner or later her fling was going to come out. If they baby wasn't Jez she couldn't just keep it from him. Could she? No she couldn't that wouldn't be fair on either of Jez or Michael. She hadn't told Michael about her pregnancy, not yet. After school finished she had planned to 'go out with the girls' but go and tell him but her plan was put on hold when Jez whisked them away to Spain. She would just have to wait until the baby is born to figure out who the father is..
