Chapter Four
He had just finished the cup of coffee and placed it to the tray with the toast he had made when she appeared in the door way "Hey". He turned and smiled to her "You have just ruined the breakfast in bed" he smiled. She took the toast from the tray "I dont deserve this". He shook his head "No you dont.. but I cant seem to stay mad at you". She bit into the toast and moved in to him slightly as she ate the toast "I will make it up to you". He grinned "Damn right you will... and I can think of a way you can start". She moved over and into his arms "Oh yeah.. and how is that?". He smiled as he placed his hands to the bottom of her back "You can spend some time with your son and really get to know him". She shook her head "I thought you wanted..." she gestured through to the bedroom. He smiled "Yeah I got some jobs for you to do in there too... but I want you to have a relationship with your son... when we have kids I want to be able to tell them about him". She smiled "Ok". He grinned "Now I think you need to get yourself back in that bedroom DS Moss" she smiled before pulling on his hand and leading him back to bed.
Sitting in the car outside the block of flats she smiled at him in the drivers seat "I dont think I can do this". Smithy glanced at the flats before back to her "You have to... Alex has a right to know his Dad". Stevie nodded "Maybe I should just give him the address". Smithy sighed "Stevie whats the worst thats gunna happen... he will slam the door in your face and at least then you can tell Alex you tried". She nodded slightly "I know Smithy but... he didnt want him then.. whats gunna of changed?". Smithy smiled "Stevie.. he was twenty and he had got a fourteen year old pregnant.. Im not surprised he disapeared to be honest". She glared at him "Thanks Smithy". He shook his head "Im not saying he did the right thing... Im saying if he hadnt.. he would of been done for sex with a minor.. possibly even rape". She nodded "My Dad would of killed him...". Smithy laughed "Yeah I know... look what your Dad was like when he caught us in a compromising position". She smiled "I thought he was gunna kill you". Smithy smiled "So did I..." he paused and gestured to the flats "Come on... Im gunna be right by your side Moss". She took a deep breath before climbing from the car.
"This is the third week in a row you have brought a note in..." the teacher glared at her, she fiddled with her bag slightly. "I have hurt my ancle Miss...". The teacher nodded slightly "Ok.. sit on the bench.. Im gunna go and ring your parents". She shook her head "Why Miss?". The teacher smiled "Because I need to inform her how much you are missing with your excuses" the teacher started shouting to the young girls running round the gym. Stevie watched as she disapeared from the room leaving the assistant teacher trying to control the class.
She pushed on the buzzer and shook her head "What do I say..". She stood in silence as the voice spoke "Ello..". Smithy shook his head as she remained in silence. "Daniel Phillips..." Smithy asked. "Yeah.. who's that?" Daniel replied. "Mr Phillips its the police can you let us up please". Smithy smiled at Stevie as she stood in a trance. "I aint done nothing... so what ever you have come to pin on me you can forget it". Smithy smiled "It is just an informal chat Mr Phillips". Smithy pushed the door as the buzzing started and held it open for Stevie "Come on Moss" he smiled before pulling on her arm. They walked up to find him standing in the door way in a pair of jogging bottoms, Stevie couldnt help but notice his body was still as tonned as ever. "What do you think I have done?" he asked allowing Smithy to walk through, he hadnt even looked at Stevie yet. He gestured to the sofa and Smithy smiled slightly "Im Inspector Smith and this is DS Moss from Sunhill...". She noticed Daniels mouth drop open as his eyes fell on her. "Oh my god... Stevie..." he sat staring at the small blonde for a few moments. "You havent changed much Daniel". He smiled "Well you are completly different... and old bill now.. I wasnt expecting that". She smiled "I have been in the job for a while now.." she glanced down "This isnt a social call Daniel". He glanced down "I swear I have gone straight now.. Im not going back inside". She smiled "Im not here to arrest you..." she paused glancing briefly at Smithy "The last time I saw you... I erm... I told you I was pregnant". He sighed "Im sorry... I shouldnt of walked out on you... I was out of order". She glanced to the floor "I had a boy..". He nodded "I heard..". She glared at him, she couldnt believe he had known she had his son and still hadnt got in touch, but deciding she had to do what was best for Alex she bit her tounge. "Erm... well I gave him up for adoption and he has recently found me...". Daniel nodded slightly as she spoke "He wants to meet you". Daniel smiled "I dont know Stevie... I have my life.. I have kids". She interupted "And he is your son.." He smiled "And he was yours too and it was you who gave him to complete strangers..". She shook her head "I was fourteen... I was alone and frightened". Smithy placed his hand to hers "Come on.. you have said what you have come to say.. lets go". She rose to her feet and followed Smithy to the door. She paused and briefly turned back to Daniel "You know I used to think you were the one.. I cried for months over you and look at you... your a coward.. you dont deserve to be apart of Alex's life". She turned back to Smithy as he held the door open for her and the couple made there way through.
"I have just spoke to your Mum Stevie... she said she didnt write you a note this morning.. or for the last three weeks". She shook her head "Sorry Miss". The teacher smiled "What is going on... you are usually so good at gym?". Stevie shook her head "Im just not feeling myself" she kept her eyes trained on the floor as the teacher gestured to the door "Go and get your kit on.. you are doing PE today". Stevie shook her head "I cant Miss". She nodded "You can and you are.. now move it". Standing in the changing rooms she sighed as she lifted her school shirt and glanced at her stomack, she had a baby bump, which she could hide under her baggy jumpers and shirts. She was seven months pregnant and she new the baby would be coming in a couple of months and she was getting more frightened by the day, she new her parents would find out soon, she would have to give birth and then care for the baby. She pulled her shirt down and her baggy jumper back on before making her way out the changing rooms and towards the entrance to the school. She wanted to escape before her teacher noticed.
He walked over and rested down oppisite her in the canteen "You ok?" he asked. She shook her head "Not really... I just cant believe he dismissed Alex like that as if he doesnt matter". Smithy placed his hand to hers "Stevie.. you tried.. Alex will understand... its Daniel who has made this difficult". She nodded "I know". He raised his hand to her mouth and kissed it gently "I love you... remember that". She grinned "I love you too". She glanced at the table "I dont know what to say to Alex after everything.. he is gunna feel rejected". Smithy smiled "You can still be there for him... Stevie he already has parents the people who brought him up... you will just have to be there and make the best of it". She grinned "Thanks Smithy". He nodded "Any time gorgeous...". She smiled as he stood back up and began to walk away "Smithy..." he turned back to her "Pub tonight?" she asked. He nodded "I will meet you in my office after shift?". She grinned "Yeah" as he left.
"Where have you been young lady?" she sighed as her Dad shouted at her. "School..." she began, he interupted "Dont you dare lie to me... they have rang and said you disapeared". She chucked her bag to the floor before slinking onto the sofa "Stevie I suggest you tell me the truth". She shook her head "Its none of your business". He grabbed her wrist and pulled her to her feet "You are fourteen... I am your father.. now tell me where have you been?". She shook her head "Im not telling you... get off of me". He stared at her "You will tell me... now Stevie". She shook her head "Its nothing to do with you". He smiled "Ok fine... if you cant be honest with me... your grounded". She laughed "You are joking I am fourteen". He nodded "Exactly... a child.. and until you grow up a bit I am going to treat you like a toddler.. now go to your room". She stomped up the stairs and shouted "This is a fucking joke... Im not a child". He stared at her "Language Stevie".
She had been at her desk about an hour when her phone rang "Serge... Daniel Phillips is in reception for you". She stood up "Im on my way" she replied before making her way to the door. Once downstairs she showed him into the front interview room. He rested down into a seat and smiled "I cant believe how great you look.." he began. She stared at the ground "What do you want?". He smiled "To know about my son..." he paused before producing a photo from his wallet "I have twin girls... they are fourteen". Stevie nodded "The same age I was when I had Alex". He nodded "Im so sorry... I should never of slept with you... you were a kid". She nodded "I lost everything because of you... my parents.. they still havent forgiven me.. my Dad said I was a disgrace and he was ashamed to call me his daughter... all my friends.. there parents stopped them from seeing me... incase being a slut was catching". He glanced down at the table "I dont know what to say to make things better". She shook her head "There is nothing you can say... do you want Alex's number?". He smiled "I ment what I said... I still dont want to meet him.. I just want to know what he is like". She shook her head "No.. you want to know what he is like you find out for yourself". He smiled "Why dont I take you for dinner... we can talk about it?".
