"Jack.." Ronnie mouthed looking anywhere but at him.
"Ron?..Ronnie?" Jack said stronger and louder then before.
Ronnie continued to cradle her son, attempting to ignore the bomb that was about to go off in front of her.
"Ronnie?" Jack attempted once again to gain the attention of the blond who stood head down, just a few feet away from him
"Who's that Ronnie?" Jack asked sighing at the stupidity of his own question.
"It's MY son.." Ronnie answered still ignoring Jacks unwanted but unflinching gaze.
Jacks head begin spinning Ronnie's son! My son??? No surely she wouldn't have kept that from me...but he's what 4/5 months..
Out of the corner of her eye Ronnie saw the confusion and pain that engulfed Jacks face. She had to speak didn't she, she had to say something but what.
"James" Ronnie stated "Ehm his name...........it's James.." Ronnie finally met Jacks gaze and nodded at the question that swirled around dangerously in his chocolate eyes.
"He's mine?" Jack asked barely able to breath.
Ronnie nodded slowly, it was stupid of her to think she could have kept this from him.
Jack stood still shaking his head focusing his eyes on the floor.
"You...Why didn't you? I had a right to know you were having my baby.." Jack stated confused and lost for words.
"I did what was best for me and my baby!" Ronnie sighed, again skipping Jacks gaze.
"So taking my son away, not telling me I have a son? How is that the right thing Ronnie!?!" Jack said raising his voice slightly.
"This? all this? was...is too confusing, what has he done to have a cousin and a sister in one, what has he done to deserve a grandfather like Archie, nothing! I didn't..I don't want him messed up in this, it's not fair.."
Jack continued to shake his head.
"Come on Ronnie you of all people know what it's like to lose a child!" Jack expressed desperately wanting her to say he could be a dad to his son.
This sudden mention of Danielle brought Ronnie's walls up. Anger flared inside her, she hated to be reminded of what she had lost, instead of crying and showing weakness she fought back angrier and harder.
"I didn't take him away from you! You didn't know he exsisted till five minutes ago!" Ronnie spat back "He has got on fine without you the last four months and so have I!"
"Haa, so what your new fella is gonna play daddy to my flesh and blood?" Jack laughed at this ridiculous notion.
"His name is Rob!" Ronnie shouted back, ROB!! OH GOD ROB! Ronnie's heart began to quicken "well he's been more of a dad then you've been!!"
Jack looked at Ronnie tears stinging his eyes but he remained determined they wouldn't fall, clearing his throat loudly he shrugged "That's not fair Ronnie, You didn't even try to tell me about this so.."
"Yes! Yes I did Jack!" Ronnie interrupted "I phoned the minute I found out I was pregnant, and I got a very interesting answer! How are you and Roxy these days?" Ronnie smirked trying to disguise a tear that fell slowly and silently down her face.
Before Jack had a chance to reply James cried out loudy.
"I think you should go!" Ronnie sniffed.
"Fine. but this? This isn't over.."
[[ "Come on gis a smile.." "Fancy a drink love?"" Why don't you come outside with me" The men at the bar questioned Ronnie over again. She wasn't paying much attention to them she had bigger things on her mind just three hours earlier her world had been turned upside down, she was pregnant! Clearing tables in the busy night club wasn't exactly what she wanted to be doing right now. "Come on love" one of the men came up behind Ronnie his strong liverpool accent was still audible though his words were slurred, his breath reeked of alchohol and he had taken quite a shine to Ronnie. He caught her waist tightly pulling her close. "Get off!" Ronnie demanded quietly not wanting to draw attention. "Come on!" The man replied. Ronnie was relieved when his grip was weakened. "The lady said NO!" a man said sternly practically trowing the drunk aside. "Thanks..But I could have dealt with that by myself!!" Ronnie mumbled. "Well I'll take note for next time" The man laughed. "I'm Rob by the way, I've seen you around, you're from London right?" Ronnie nodded "Do you wanna grab some dinner or something sometime?" Ronnie was about to decline when she remembered her earlier phone all, maybe it was time for her to move on "Yeah, Ok!" Ronnie smiled.
