Feeling Kerry's arms wrapped around him, and her lips upon her, he responds pulling her towards him. Reaching for her hand, he walks over to the lounge with her, the other hand pushing the pram.

Sitting down on the lounge with his arm around her pulling her close to him, she pushes her hair away from her face. Looking into her eyes "are you sure" Seeing her nod "what changed your mind?" Leaning over to kiss him "the thought of losing you, not knowing what was happening to you today, I want you in my life too, if you still want me"

Leaning down his lips finds her, as he kisses her gently and softly before becoming more passionate, moving his lips away slightly "does that answer your question"

Smiling at him, she moves her lips down to his, responding. Feeling his arms around her body, his touch sending shivers throughout her. Feeling him lower her to the couch, as there kissing becomes more feverent.

Hearing a knock at the front door, Lawson moves away from Kerry, leaning down quickly kissing her "don't move" Smiling up at him, as she watches him walk to the front door, looking through the peep hole "Oh shit" he mumbles to himself.

Knocking on the door again, she is sure she heard footsteps coming to the door, calling out "Lawson are you there?"

Glancing back Lawson sees Kerry looking at him, her eyebrows raised shrugging he buttons up his shirt, before opening the door. "Shan?" Seeing her look at him "I was beginning to wonder if something had happened to you"

Shaking his head "sorry didn't hear the door?" seeing her look at him, he knows he doesn't believe her "Can I come in" Nodding, as she follows him upstairs, looking at the couch, she sees Kerry there.

Looking at Lawson and back at Kerry she wonder what she is doing here and why Lawson hadn't asked her to leave. Looking up at Lawson, there is guilt over his face again and Kerry had a glow to her. "What's she doing here" she asks Lawson.

Looking at Shannon "I'm sorry Shan…" then hearing Kerry's voice "I thought Lawson, might want to see his daughter, after what happened today"

Glancing at Kerry then back at Shannon, if Kerry hadn't come around tonight, he would of welcomed Shannon tonight, but having Kerry here, he realises her can't lead Shannon on "Sorry Shan, I'm getting tired, and.." interrupting him "You want Kerry" Not answering the question "I just want to spend time with Chloe before Kerry has to go"

Walking her out "WE do need to talk Shan, but not now" Nodding at him "Let me know" as she walks out.

Walking back upstairs, he sees Kerry sitting on the lounge, her eyes full of questions, raising her eyebrows at him "Getting tired then" Seeing him walk over to her he leans down kissing her on the top of her head before the lips, reaching for her hand, he pulls her up off the couch.

Walking over to the pram, Lawson picks up his daughter, walking away he turns to Kerry his eyes saying it all. Following him up "What about Chloe? Saying nothing he opens the door of the spare room, following him in, Kerry smiles at him as he puts his daughter down in the porta cot, taking the walkie talkie and Kerry's hand before leading her too his bedroom.

Lying her down on the bed, he covers her with kisses, looking her in the eyes "are you sure" Seeing her smile and feeling her lips upon her, they spend the night making love.

Walking out of the nightclub, plastered, Stella turns to Charlie "Your not too old after all" Laughing at his girlfriend "I don't know how you did this each night" Laughing back at Charlie "Stamina, and adrenalin" Raising his eyes at her "Drugs too" Slapping him gently on the arm "Hey, not all the time, not lately anyway"

Pulling her towards him "you have mellowed a bit" Frowning slightly at him " You're a bad influence on me then" Kissing her hard and quick "yep, least I don't have problems with ESD anymore"

Looking up at him "yeah how did you get my piss test to come back negative, and why?" Looking down at his girlfriend "I wanted you on the squad, I liked you since you got drunk at TR, thought you were hot" Seeing her blush slightly "Got a friend who owed me a favour at ESD, but don't pull a stunt like that again please"

Walking to catch a taxi, with his arm around her he sees her looking up at him, as they sit over looking the water "Do you know that Kerry said to me to "Be careful nothing else, does she know about us?"

Pulling hair away from her ears "I think she suspects but that's all. Anyway if she comes back to TR, problem solved"

Looking up at him "so your leaving TR?" Smiling down "Maybe, but I'll miss working with you" Pulling him up of the seat and kissing him "lets get home"

Walking out of Lawson's a few days later after spending the weekend together, with a smile on her face. Can they keep their relationship a secret, will it work out this time. Smiling down at their daughter, she knows that they wouldn't be together now, but looking down, if it wasn't for Chloe then, they wouldn't be together. The weekend spent together, she now realises that Lawson does love her.

Walking into the café the next day, Lawson sees Shannon sitting there, taking a deep breath, he walks up sits down next to her. Ordering a coffee, he looks Shannon in the eyes, he did love her, but after this weekend, he realised he didn't any more. Taking a deep breath "Shan, I'm sorry, but I don't think we should get back together" Looking at Lawson in the eyes "So you've changed your mind, is it because Your with Kerry aren't you"

Trying to hold her gaze, he shakes his head "No, that's not it, I'm getting used to the fact I'm a father now, adjusting to that. You said you could cope with that, I don't think you can, and Kerry is part of my life, being Chloe's mother."

Wondering if Lawson is telling the truth "It would be hard, but I want you Lawson and to have a life with you"

Feeling for Shannon "It just wasn't working out Shannon, I'm sorry, but its over"

Watching Lawson start to get up "You're with Kerry now aren't you?" Not answering it properly "Don't blame her Shan, if things were working out between us, I never would have slept with her. We were having problems even then"

Getting up off his seat "Shan, you need to get over your hatred for Kerry, because she will be coming back to head up TR" before walking out.

Mumbling to herself "Not if I can help it"
