Chapter 10
Jimmy was sitting in the kitchen when he heard the front door opening. He stood up when he saw Diana entering.
"Where the bloody hell have you been. You weren't outside the Doctor's office when I came out." Jimmy said, worried.
"I'm sorry Jimmy but I needed some air."
"Are you okay."
"Well ofcourse I'm not bloody okay. My Doctor just told me I'm pregnant, how the hell can I be okay."
"Okay, I'm sorry."
"How could we let this happen Jimmy."
"I think you know the answer to that one."
He looked at her with so much love in his face and he hated to see her so upset. He walked over and gathered her in his arms but she immediately pushed him away.
"Jimmy don't."
"What, I'm trying to offer you some support. I want to help."
"Help, well maybe you could have wore some bloody protection and this might not have bloody happened."
"Hey, we were both there that night. You can't just point the finger are me."
"Right now Jimmy, I don't care. I'm going to lie down, I'm tired."
Diana stomped up the stairs and slammed the bedroom door behind her. Jimmy grabbed his coat and made his way to the pub for some alone time. When he got there Bobby and Kev where at their ususal spot. Bobby serving the drinks and Kev sitting at the bar moaning about his unlucky streak with women.
"Jimmy, haven't seen you in a few days. Where's my best customer been." Bobby asked.
"Hey Bobby, just busy with the kids."
"How's Diana."
"Yeah, she's fine. Think I'll just go and sit by myself for a bit."
"Okay, I'll bring your coke over."
Bobby and Kev watched as Jimmy made his way to one of the tables in the corner.
"Wonder what's up with him then." Kev asked.
"Somethings up with him."
"Up with who?" Siobhan asked, appearing beside Bobby.
"Jimmy, he's being weird."
"He's been around you too long Kev, that's why."
"No, Kev's right. There's something on his mind."
"His that his coke." Siobhan asked.
"Yeah, was just about to take it over."
"No it's alright, I'll do it."
Siobhan took the coke and made her way over to Jimmy's table. She placed the coke down infront of him.
"Hey Jimmy."
"Oh Siobhan, hi."
"You okay. Why are you not sitting with the others."
"Just fancied some time on my own."
"How's Diana."
"Yeah, she's fine. Pretty much healed now."
"So why do you look like crap."
"Diana and I had a fight."
"Well that's not unusual."
"Siobhan, there's something you don't know about Diana and me."
"Like what."
"We've been seeing each other."
Siobhan burst out laughing but suddenly turned very serious when she saw Jimmy's face.
"Oh, you're serious."
"Yeah."
"You two hated each other."
"I know. One night she came home, she was so depressed about this guy she'd met, who hadn't turned out to be who she thought he was. I guess I felt sorry for her, anyway I took her out to dinner to cheer her up, one thing led to another over the course of dinner and I kissed her. She regretted it the next day and I guess she panicked. She suddenly took a holiday, said she needed time to think. When she came back and said she couldn't go through with us, she rushed out and that's when she was injured."
"So you two got together properly after her accident."
"Yeah. I think the accident made us both realise how we felt about each other."
"So why the long face then."
"She's been feeling sick lately. We went to see the Doctor today."
"What, is it something to do with the accident."
"No."
"Jimmy, you look worried. What's wrong with her."
"Siobhan, she's pregnant."
"What Diana, she can't be."
"The Doc confirmed it."
"But she's, well. She's not young Jimmy."
"It's a bit of a shock."
"How's Diana taking it."
"She won't talk to me about it. I'm worried."
"You're worried incase she doesn't want the baby."
"I don't think she does Siobhan."
"But you want her too."
"I love her. Never thought I'd hear myself say that about Diana but I do. I love her and I want the baby."
"Do you want me to talk to her. Maybe she needs another woman to talk too."
"Would you."
"Ofcourse. We may not be together anymore Jimmy but I still care, we're still friends."
"Thanks Siobhan."
