AUTHORS NOTE: This is just a useless little chapter that came out of nowhere. I just felt like writing it. My bad. I hope you enjoy!

DISCLAIMER: I totally made it up. I have no background information on Gail so this is from my head. I hope you enjoy it.

[Girl Talk]

"You should have known better than to take him out," Gail's hiss hurt Jackie more than she ever thought it would. If Jackie had known that Robbie wasn't feeling well then she would have obviously insisted that they stayed home. He hadn't told her and like Ewan said he hadn't told her for a reason. She turned to look at Gail, tears streaming down her face as she laughed.

"I'm not his guardian, Gail. He wanted to spend the night with his family and he wasn't going to let anything get in his way." She whispered but it wasn't an attempt to save herself. It was the truth. She wouldn't have wanted him to go and then he'd have missed out on all the laughs they'd had. Burke had been having fun, Stuart and Ewan always have fun no matter where they are and she'd seen him smile for the first time in a long time.

Through the window she could see Stuart with his arms around Jamie's shoulders while the young boy held his father's hand. Gail had tried to stop him going in but Jamie had persisted and then eventually had asked Uncle Stuart to take him in because his mum was afraid. Stuart had immediately agreed knowing it was something the young boy needed to do.

"He's not supposed to go yet," Gail whispered softly as she turned away from the window, her back pressing up against it. "You know he talked about you all the time." She whispered truthfully and Jackie looked over at him. "Every time he saw Jamie, I'd hear the two of them talking about you. Jamie would tell him stories of the two of you getting married so that he'd have two mummy's and one would be a cool detective and one would be me." Jackie smiled lovingly at the young boy.

"Robbie told me a couple of weeks ago he loved me for the first time. He said he'd been waiting for the right moment."

"There's never a better reason then learning you are going to die in a month," Gail laughed at the irony. She'd always teased that it would take Robbie something major for him to ever admit he had feelings for anyone but himself and here she was with her case being proven. It just happened that it was the most awful way possible. "Why didn't you ever tell him that you loved him?"

"I didn't want to be the girl that admitted she'd fallen in love with Robbie Ross. He's the all time player," she laughed smiling at how many mornings he had come in and immediately dropped the name of the woman that he'd slept with the night before. She looked over at Gail.

"You know he was heartbroken when you married Brian," she said pursing her lips as she turned back to face the window, she could see her son talking to his father and she didn't know Stuart looked so calm. She'd be a total mess by now. Jackie looked over at the woman and sighed.

"He told me," she whispered before looking back to Robbie. "I told him I didn't want to do this again."

"I heard about Brian's death, Jackie. I'm sorry." She looked over at Robbie and sighed. "This might upset you but whenever he was upset over anything, he came and spoke to me. Sure we acted like we hated each other but you know, Robbie was like a best friend to me. I do think sleeping with him was the biggest mistake of my life minus the fact we got our wonderful son," she paused for a moment to see that Jamie's face was now buried in Stuart's chest, Ewan was behind Stuart squeezing his shoulder. "He was devastated when you lost Brian."

"He was?" Jackie asked confused causing Gail to smile over at her.

"Oh Jackie darling, you should realise that all he wanted was to take away your pain. You had so many bad days after that and it killed him inside. You have no idea how many times I told him to talk to you but he always gave the excuse that you were hurting and wouldn't have time for him plus he had some thoughts that you liked Burke because you did talk to Burke."

Jackie found herself laughing then. Robbie had been jealous of her friendship with Burke? Burke? He had thought that she would chose to run off with Burke and that had stopped him from talking to her about Brian? She looked over at him on his death bed, tears of laughter mixing with the ones of sadness causing her to look over at Gail.

"He thought he understood women," she joked shaking her head, a happy smile on her face as she looked over at him.

"Yeah, he wasn't the brightest bulb on the Christmas tree." Gail responded with a laugh before sighing. "I don't know how Jamie is going to cope after this, Jackie. I know he wasn't extremely close to Robbie but he was as close as he could get and he loved his dad more than anything. There is so much more he could be doing with Jamie,"

"Gail, you're engaged to that boyfriend of yours now. Jamie will understand that he's not his father but he'll still have a guy to look after him. Robbie would want that." Gail smiled happily before looking back into the hospital room. "Besides he'll always have his three uncles," she said nodding her head towards where it appeared Stuart was telling Jamie stories about his father due to the laughter that was coming from the four men that gathered in the room.

"Yes. They'll always be there for him," Gail admitted before smiling at Jackie. "You know what, I do believe you're the best thing to have ever happened to Robbie. He was stupid to leave it so late."

"Thank you," Jackie responded before looking back at the room. "Shall we go inside and join in the story telling?"

"Oh yes, we obviously have loads to tell." She squeezed Jackie's hand before leading her into the room, her arm wrapping around her son as he moved towards her.
