Plot: Takes place after the argument between Amy and Brendan after Brendan left Ste after they had sex when Eileen walked on them. I have always wondered about Ste's father side of the family and decided to come up with a story with it.

I sort of used this as a sort-crossover of Hollyoaks and Eastenders. All of Ste's family are Eastenders characters, as I couldn't get them out of my head and I felt like they were perfect for the roles I had in my head. All their first names are the same but added Hay onto it.

If any of you are confused with the family tree and that, and how old everyone is in this, just ask and I'll answer in the best way I can!

There will be Stendan! But not from the very start, as I want the family stuff to be first. I'm a big fan of Stendan and there will be a Stendan ending!

I hope you enjoy the first chapter! Writing the next one as we speak!

August 1st 2011

"How long does it take to get to a bloody village?!" Shouted Grant Hay, as his brother, Phil Hay drove in the fastest speed he could.

"I'm going as bloody fast as I can, we can't have the police slow us down can we?" Phil said as calmly as he could. "Grant, he has my kids too."

Grant heavily sighed as he leaned against the window of the car. "I know mate, but I would be just a little more relieved if we can get one of the kids to safety." He then punched the car front, feeling frustrated.

"I know, but you never know, Ste could be fine."

Looking at his older brother, he said quietly, "Would you take that chance?" Phil didn't reply but stared blankly at the road before them. Fake laughing, Grant mumbled "Thought not."

Not long after this conversation, they pulled up at Ste's flat, which was kind of a dump. But him and his ex-girlfriend and the mother of his children, Amy Barnes, didn't have the money for anything else.

Most of Ste Hay's life, Grant wasn't in it but not on purpose. He wanted to be in Ste's life more than anything, but when Ste was four, Pauline ran off with him and he didn't have any contact throughout Ste's childhood. When he managed to find him again, Ste was a young adult, with his own two children.

Grant hated that he missed so much, of nearly all of his children. As he had three other children, Ryan Hay, Whitney Hay and Courtney Hay. He wasn't there for the same reasons for Ryan and Whitney, but Courtney was eleven, maybe it would be different with her this time. He had a second chance.

Grant quickly got out of the car and rushed to the apartment door, Phil not too far behind. Grant banged on the door, hoping someone, Ste, would open the door and everything would be fine. But no one was answering.

"Would you calm down Grant!" Phil ordered and just as Grant stopped banging on the door, a familiar voice called behind them.

"Grant? Phil?" What are you two doing here?"

Both of the men turned around to see the mother of Ste's children, Amy. Grant wondered at first why Ste ever let Amy go, but he then soon learned that he was gay. It was hard at first, but he loved his son and didn't want to lose him again. So he accepted Ste for who he is.

"Amy," Grant breathed out and walked towards her, "Please tell me you know where Ste is."

Raising her eyebrows, Amy replied, "I saw him in the village earlier... What's going on?"

"Can you take us to him, please. He's in danger." Grant told Amy as he took a gentle hold of Amy's arm. She nodded, and lead the two towards Hollyoaks Village.

When they got into the village, there was no sight of Ste. They had asked a couple of people, but they only mentioned about a fight between Ste and this man named Brendan. When Grant asked about who Brendan was, Amy quickly changed the subject, saying they should try somewhere else he might be.

Nearly ten minutes later, Amy sighed with annoyance and said, "There is one more place he could be. He just got his job back today, so he maybe there."

Grant wondered momentarily why Ste had lost his job, but he was too worried about his safety, so decided to question it later.

They got to a club right in the center of the village called "Chez Chez" and they discovered the bottom doors were locked, so went up the stairs and that was open.

As Amy lead them in, they saw three people at the back of the empty club, two of them looked like they were about to rip each other's heads off whereas the bright blonde one was trying to keep the peace.

"You can't take my kids away from me Eileen," the only man out of the three said in desperation. "I want Declan, please."

Grant felt pity for the man, as he too knew what it was like having your kids taken away from you.

"You think that I'm-"

Amy, obviously feeling uncomfortable about hearing this, spoke up. "Ugh, Cheryl!"

The blonde woman looked up to where her named was called and smiled slightly at seeing Amy, as the two people next to her looked on nervously, the man sending warning daggers to Amy.

"Amy, how can I help you?" Cheryl asked, looking slightly nervous herself.

"It's nothing major, but I was wondering if you knew where Ste was?" Amy asked, trying to sound casual as she could.

"Ugh," The other woman, Eileen, groaned. "Who would want to know where that disgusting man is?"

Grant frowned, "Sorry love, you wanna repeat that?"

"Grant," Phil warned. "Now is not the time."

"Who are you two exactly, if you don't mind me asking?" The man asked, looking at the two men behind Amy.

Grant tucked his hands in his pockets and looked at the man straight in the eye, "Grant Hay. Steven's father," Grant stated and looked to Cheryl. "Have you seen my son at all?"

Cheryl looked stunned for a moment before answering, "Ugh, we was suppose to be here now actually. So, no, I haven't seen him." She then narrowed her eyes, "Why, is everything okay?"

Before anyone could reply, Grant's phone suddenly started to ring and as he got it up, it showed a blocked ID, but Grant knew who it was right away.

"Let's hope so," he mumbled and headed straight out again and as he was walking down the stairs - Amy and Phil following closely - Grant answer the phone. "You son of a bitch!" He hissed down the phone.

There was a dark chuckle down the phone and what Grant could make out, a grin to that chuckle. "Now, that isn't a way to speak to an old friend, is it?"

"Hurt any of my sons, daughters, nieces or my nephew, I will hunt down and kill you with my bare hands." Grant threatened as he walked out to the middle of the village, both Amy and Phil standing closely by, as Phil was updating Amy on what was happening.

"Oh, I'm shaking in my boots." The man teased, "Of Grant, you should've learned a long time ago that you down mess with Old Johnny."

"You can have me," Grant pleaded. "Just let them go for god's sake!"

"Sorry my good friend, but no can do." Johnny told Grant, "You see I don't want you to die, I want you to suffer." With a cough, he ended it with "I'll be in touch."
