Superintendant O'Karo walked up the long corridor in the direction of the briefing room where the rest of the uniformed officers were sat in silence, waiting for news of their friend and colleague.

Sergeant June Ackland was stood at the front of the room and sighed when she saw the look on the Super's face, thinking that Kerry had died.

"Umm, I've just had news from the hospital..." Adam started.

While most of the officers looked up to face their boss, a few people: Yvonne, Honey and Andrea shut their eyes, expecting to hear the worst.

"Kerry has been stabilized and...she's expected to make a full recovery"

Yvonne burst into a fit of happy tears and was hugged by an equally emotional Honey. Everyone else smiled and was glad to hear the good news, except for Gabriel and Andrea who suddenly looked shifty and nervous.

"The doctor described her recovery as a miracle because well...she died"

Everyone turned back their heads to look at the Superintendant and June Ackland queried

"She died?"

Nodding, Adam explained

"Yes June, she died. Her heart stopped and they tried a number of times to resuscitate but nothing worked. Just as the doctor was about to call time, she regained consciousness and her heart just...started beating again"

Everyone in the room burst into discussion about how lucky Kerry was while Yvonne chuckled away from her seat in the front row.

"That's because Kerry Young is one heck of a fighter!"

Adam O'Karo smiled back at the young officer and agreed

"Yes Yvonne, she is indeed"

"Smithy, can I ask you a huge favour please?" Kerry Young asked to which he nodded.

"I don't suppose I could lend your phone to text Yvonne? I was gonna ask her if she'd go round to mine and pick up some clean clothes for me to go home in"

"Yeah sure" Smithy smiled "Or, I could get some for you?"

Kerry agreed and told Smithy that would be very helpful. So, after receiving instructions on what to get and where to find everything, Smithy took Kerry's house keys, gave her a loving kiss, jumped into his car and drove off in the direction of Myatt Street.

Smithy turned off his engine and jumped out of the car. After walking up the small stoned path, he put the key into the keyhole, pushed open the door and closed it behind him once he was inside. Pulling out a small piece of paper from his back pocket, Smithy scrolled down it to see what Kerry needed. Seeing that most of the items were clothes, he headed to Kerry's bedroom and realised he knew too well which room it was. Pushing open the white glossed door, Smithy smiled as he noticed that there wasn't a single thing out of place, it was like a show room bedroom. He remembered that when they first had...one of their nights together...Kerry's room used to be very messy but she'd suddenly become a domestic goddess in the previous few months. Opening the large double wardrobe, Smithy started pulling out various items of clothes, folded them and placed them onto the bed. After a few minutes, the young sergeant closed the wardrobe doors and bent down to pick up a pair of pink flowery trainers off the floor. Scrolling down the list, Smithy suddenly realised that he would be in trouble if he returned to the hospital with the one essential item – Kerry's make up bag. Taking a quick look around the room, he finally spotted it on top of the white coloured chest of drawers near the window. Poor Smithy was like a makeup virgin as he picked up various pieces of makeup, not having a clue what they were or for. So, he decided it was best to shove as much as he could into the small pink heart patterned make up bag. Rummaging through the top draw, the young male picked up a handful of cosmetics and balanced them on the top of the chest of drawers then reached for the makeup bag to open it.

Ring ring!

Kerry's house phone rang and made Smithy jump out his skin as the ringing tone filled the empty flat. As Smithy jumped, he knocked over the pile of makeup he'd collected and watched as mascaras, eye shadows and lipsticks rolled in different directions across the bedroom floor.

"Ah, fantastic!" Smithy sighed as he threw the makeup bag onto the bed and knelt down to pick up the items from the floor but suddenly stopped as a familiar voice filled Kerry's room.

"Hello sweetheart, it's me, Gabriel. I've just heard what happened, what a terrible thing for someone to do. They must have been sick in the head to hurt someone as beautiful as you. O'Karo told us you are going to make a full recovery though, what brilliant news. But you know, you need to watch your back darling. You've obviously upset someone, and we don't want them trying to hurt you again do we? I'll be seeing you soon sweetheart"

Smithy was stunned at what he'd just heard. To anyone else, it would have just sounded like a message from a friend who was looking out for another friend but, this was Gabriel Kent and he had become such a creep over the previous few months. It didn't help that Smithy knew the truth about his identity but little did he know, he was about to find out much much more. Smithy moved the few contents from his hand onto the bed then reached under the bed as he'd spotted one or two things roll underneath. Moving his hand around, he couldn't find the makeup so bent down closer to the floor so he could look closely. He found the two lipsticks which were propped up against a black box. Picking up the lipstick, Smithy put it into the heart patterned makeup bag along with the rest of the makeup looking objects that he'd come across. Something was niggling the back of the young Sergeants head and that was the black box under the bed. Smithy didn't want to be nosy but something was telling him to look inside. However, time was ticking and Kerry was waiting for him to return to the hospital with clean clothes so that she could be discharged, so he pushed the idea away, pulled out a holdall from the side of the wardrobe and started neatly piling the clothes, shoes, wash bag and makeup inside. Checking the list from Kerry one more time, Smithy realised he'd packed everything the blonde had asked for so headed towards the bedroom door to leave the room. However, he didn't get far before the black box suddenly filled his head again. Thinking for a moment, Smithy realised it was probably nothing but he would have to take a look, just to reassure himself that it was nothing. After all, the young male was a copper after all and had always been taught to follow your instincts. So, placing the full holdall onto the floor by the door, Smithy walked around to the opposite side of the bed, bent down and pulled out the black box from underneath the bed, convinced it was nothing. He couldn't had been more wrong because as the box became clearer, Smithy saw that a piece of paper had been stuck onto the top and Kerry had written 'Kent' on it.

"What the...?" Smithy wondered, perching himself on to the end of Kerry's bed and lifting the lid of the box.

Smithy's eyes widened as he looked at the contents inside, of which the top one was very familiar as he too had a copy. It was a photocopy of Gabriel Kent's birth certificate showing that he was born to June Ackland and attached was an adoption certificate for him. Underneath, there was another birth certificate for a David Kent as well as a list showing that Gabriel Kent was in the army. Smithy kept flicking through the pile of stuff and found more things including an envelope marked 'photo's'. Looking side, the young confused Sergeant saw that, inside were casual photos of Gabriel going about his everyday business that had clearly been taken without him knowing. At the bottom of the box was an open letter from Sunhill's refuge centre and Smithy realised it must have been from when Kerry had accused him of date rape but after noticing the date at the top, Smithy suddenly felt sick as he realised it wasn't. Had Gabriel raped Kerry? Why did she have a box full of stuff on him? Smithy didn't have a clue what was going on but was determined to find out. Pushing the lid back on the box, Smithy dropped it on the floor and kicked it back under the bed. Picking up the pink butterfly holdall, the young Sergeant opened the front door, closed it behind him, threw the bag into his boot and sped off down the road in the direction of .

"Miss Young? I'm Doctor Newton. It's great news that you're going to make a full recovery, you're a very lucky lady!"

Kerry smiled at the young doctor as she realised she was indeed very lucky to be given a second chance.

"So when you're ready, your discharge papers are at reception for you okay"

Kerry thanked the doctor as he made his way towards the door but he turned around and walked back towards Kerry.

"Sorry I knew I forgot something! When you sign the discharge papers, they'll book you in to see the midwife for your first appointment which will be down on ward B"

Before the young doctor could say anything else, Kerry shot up in the bed.

"Umm sorry, midwife? Wha - whatt do I need an appointment with her for?" she stumbled.

The doctor looked confused before suddenly realising that the blonde patient hadn't been told.

"Oh I'm...really sorry Miss Young; I assumed you had been told. Your test results showed that you're pregnant. You're expecting a baby"

Kerry froze in shock. Cameron had left for Australia a few months ago but they hadn't slept together for a while before he left and she hadn't slept with Smithy for many months. While undercover, she had ended up sleeping with David Radford a few times and then...then there was Gabriel.

"How far gone am I?" Kerry asked nervously.

After looking at the notes in his hand, the doctor looked up and replied

"3 months"

With that, the doctor walked out of the room leaving Kerry sat up in the bed, shocked.

"3 months..." she thought.

It couldn't have been Smithy's baby...and it had only been a matter of weeks since she'd slept with Radford so that narrowed it down to Cameron and Gabriel. Luckily, there was a cardboard sick bowl next to the bed because Kerry was violently sick as it suddenly hit her. Ever since she had been raped by Gabriel, Kerry hadn't slept with Cameron which left Gabriel, who had raped her exactly 3 months before. Stumbling out of bed, Kerry slipped on her blue jeans, black jacket and pink blood stained top that hadn't yet been taken for forensics. Opening the door to her private hospital room, Kerry peeked out into the corridor to see if there was anyone outside. There was supposed to be a security guard but he must have taken a toilet break because he wasn't anywhere to be seen.

"Ouch" Kerry groaned, instantly moving her head towards her stomach as she felt a sharp pain.
Looking down, the blonde female heaved and felt sick at the thought that she was carrying the child of an evil rapist. Double checking that the corridor was empty, Kerry Young took the opportunity and, without discharging herself, made a run for it, dashing down the corridor and out of the hospital doors.
