Chapter Two

"I could ask you the same question," Phil answered in an angry whisper. He pulled the door closed behind him. "Sam doesn't want to see you!"

"Did she say that or did you?" Stuart asked, feeling his temper rising.

"Does it matter?" Phil replied, avoiding the question. "So why are you here?"

"I live here." Stuart answered defensively. "I think I should be the one asking that." Phil didn't answer…"Well?"

"Sam's my friend, I'm just looking out for her which is more than I can say for you… and correct me if I'm wrong but I was under the impression that she'd thrown you out…" Phil said, his temper taking control.

Stuart looked at the ground, "it's just a minor hitch…she's upset…she needs her space right now…once she's calmed down…" His voice trailed off.

"You think you can come round here with your fancy chocolates and your flowers, say you're sorry and then everything will be okay, don't you?" Without waiting for an answer he continued. "Well it won't… she's just lost a baby, Stuart…your kid…which she wanted to keep…she's hurting and she thinks it's all her fault…" He said angrily, raising his voice. "I think it'll take more than a box of chocolates to fix this one…don't you?"

"Let me speak to her!" Stuart made a move towards the door.

Phil stepped in front. "No, haven't you done enough already?"

"Are you saying this is my fault?" Stuart questioned angrily, clenching his fists.

"If you want to put it like that then yes I guess that's exactly what I'm saying." Phil answered.

"So what exactly am I supposed to have done…?" Stuart asked.

"What have you done? It's more like what haven't you done… but I guess the words 'insensitive jerk' will do in short" Phil spat furiously.

"Are you finished?" Stuart answered coldly.

"Finished? Believe me I haven't even started… you don't care about Sam, Stuart, you never have. You only wanted her so I couldn't have her and to prove that you could get any woman you wanted… why don't you just be a man and admit it instead of being a coward…"

"A coward am I?" Stuart answered back in a voice of deadly calm.

"Yes you are…you're the one who got Sam pregnant…you're the one who wasn't prepared to face up to the responsibilities of becoming a father…" Phil shot back.

"Hang on a minute, let's not get holier than thou about this…. you're hardly in any position to criticise." Stuart said smugly.

"Either explain what you're talking about or shut up and go away." Phil responded testily.

"Well you have two children and neither of them are by the woman you married right?"

"Yes but…"

"You went to therapy for sex addiction and ended up knocking up one of the female patients, correct…" Stuart interrupted.

"How do you know that?"

"Then you found out she'd bedded your brother, ditched her without a thought for your unborn child... and now your kid... in fact both of your kids live to far away for you to see them regularly..."

"Your point is?" Phil said, on the verge of losing his temper.

"The point is that you're not exactly in line for 'dad of the year' award so i suggest you take a look at your own situation and stop judging mine." Stuart shot Phil a look.

"Look i may not be perfect... " Phil began heatedly.

"Far from it..." Muttered Stuart, smirking.

Phil heard this but chose to ignore it. "I may not be perfect," he repeated. "But i do care about Sam too much to see her hurt . She's been messed about by guys like you before, and i won't stand by and let you do that to her."

"That's very touching." Stuart sneered, "but you do know that Sam doesn't really care about you... she's only using you so she's not alone for the rest of her life."

Phil shook his head, "Whatever... i don't care... Sam may not love me but i love her and nothing you can say will change that... Sorry to disappoint you Stu..."

Unknown to Phil and Stuart, Sam could hear every word of what they were saying. She blinked back tears that were threatening to spill over, as she heard Phil speak. 'There was so much love and compassion in his voice and he really meant it' Sam thought, tears sliding down her cheeks.

"Sam is incapable of loving anyone." Sam was brought back to earth by Stuart's raised voice.

"That's not true" Phil said furious at how Stuart could talk about the woman he'd been sleeping with like that. "Sam's trust was broken a long time ago and she can't trust people as easy as the next person who walks down the street..."

"And that's my fault?" Stuart's eyes narrowed.

"Did I say it was?"

"Not in so many words but…" Stuart started.

Phil interrupted. "I think I'm starting to see the bigger picture here."

"What bigger picture?" Stuart said, playing dumb.

"This isn't about you and Sam… it's all about you!" Phil said, pretending not to have heard him. "Okay so answer this Stu… why did you stay with her if you thought she didn't love you?"

"My name's Stuart, not Stu… " He replied through gritted teeth. "And it's because…" he stopped.

"I'll tell you why." Phil answered. "It's because you don't like failing at anything…" He was on a roll now. "…Whether it's work or in your personal life… I saw the look on your face when Suzie got that job with the kidnap unit. You didn't really want it though…you only went for it because she wanted it…"

"Very good Sherlock" Stuart said smoothly.

"Why don't you just go away? Go crawl back under your rock and leave me and Sam alone."

"Not until I've spoken to her." Stuart said stubbornly.

"Over my dead body," Phil said heatedly.

"That can easily be arranged."

"Shut up and get the hell out of here…before I make you… " Phil's temper was reaching the end of its fuse.

"Is that a threat?" Stuart asked coldly.

"No it's a promise." He met Stuart's gaze, unblinkingly.

"Ooooo… go on then, hit me!" Stuart mocked him. When Phil didn't react he continued taunting him. "Not as tough as you make out, are you? All this talk… no action…"

Suddenly Phil snapped. He grabbed Stuart by the collar and shoved him forcefully, knocking him to the ground. He kicked him in the ribs once…twice… three times releasing all his anger.

"What the hell is going on here?" Having heard things quieten down Sam had gone outside to check what was going on.

She walked over to Stuart and leaned over to check his pulse. "Phil, call an ambulance, quick, he's not breathing!"
