So, this is my first Hollyoaks fanfic, please review! :) :P

Ste stared at the calendar, it was 10 years to the day that Brendan had been put away for 15 years. 10 years and everything was the same, but everything was so different.

Ste and Doug still owned the deli, Chez Chez was still same old Chez Chez, all the places were the same, but everyone was so different.

Amy had moved in the flat not long after Brendan was sent to prison, Ste didn't think he would have been able to make it through the long, lonely nights without her support. Leah was 15 now and turning into a right stroppy teenager, going out, getting drunk, shouting at everyone, just the usual, teenage stuff. Lucas was 13 and on the local football team, he was brilliant, seemed to always be getting new girlfriend's though.

Cheryl and Nate were happily married with 5 year old Chelsea, 3 year old Danny and baby number 3 on the way. On the outside everything was perfect, but to Ste nothing could be perfect without Brendan.

Ste hadn't had a proper relationship since Brendan had been forced out of his life, he went out, having one night stand's with guys he didn't know, then came home. All these guys were nothing to him, the only person that ever meant anything to him was Brendan, and it would stay that way until the day he died.

Ste had tried to get in touch with Brendan so many times, he just wanted to see his face once more, to hear his voice, read his writing, anything. Ste had sent countless letter's and had no replies, had turned up during visiting hour's only to be turned down, nothing was right without him.

Ste was torn out of his daydream by Leah storming up the stairs, yelling some foul mouthed abuse at her mum. He heard Amy yelling something back before everything went strangely quiet.

Ste pulled himself up off the sofa to go and make sure that they hadn't killed eachother and got a shock when he saw what he saw.

Amy and Leah were standing to the side of the door and a tall figure was standingin the doorway. Ste noticed him straight away, he was wearing the same leather jacket he always had, he had that half smile on his face that he always used to have, he had that moustache, he had those eyes, that mouth, he looked exactly the same.

"Brendan!" Ste stuttered, was he imagining this?

"Surprise." Brendan said in that lovely voice, his thick accent exactly the same as what it had been 10 years ago, the last time he had heard that voice.

Brendan held out his arms and ste practically threw himself into them, he had waited so long for this moment, the moment he could finally be with his true love again, the perfect moment.

Please review, thank you :) :P
