[Anger]

"Jackie..." Ewan shouted as they pulled up outside the police station but Jackie was out of the passenger side door before he even had a chance to grab hold of her arm and plead with her to calm down because it wasn't that much of a big deal. He knew that to her, it was. She'd seen red the minute Jenny had told her the good news – well bad to her – and had literally ran out of the room and into Ewan's arms, sobbing how sorry she was for a good hour before eventually he'd managed to calm her down but then the anger had set in and there was only one person's blood she was after. "Jacks, please. Don't do this!" He called trying to climb out of the car as quick as she had. Damn the police force and their skills!

Storming into the bullpen, she pointed her finger at her Robbie. "You planned this, you manipulative bastard." She shouted angrily causing everyone to turn round from what they were doing to watch the scene. "I should have known better than to think that you could ever love me. You just didn't want me to be the surrogate mother. You're a selfish bastard and I could kill you right now." She grabbed hold of the nearest pen pot and threw it at him, missing by half a centre-meter causing everyone to turn to stare at her now as it hit the floor with a clatter.

"Well standing in the middle of homicide isn't the best place for that, sweetie," Stuart said moving over to take hold of her and looking at Ewan as he moved into the bullpen, out of breath. "Would someone like to explain to me this sudden surge of anger that is coming from my best friend?"

"I second that..." Robbie piped up causing Jackie to snarl at him.

"You're no friend of mine, you sorry sack.." Stuart covered her mouth with his hand so that she wouldn't say anything she'd regret before turning to look at Ewan. He sighed before looking over at Stuart with a sad smile on his face.

"She can't be our surrogate," he explained softly before moving up behind Jackie and taking her into his arms also. "She's mentally sane for it as well as physically okay for it but there's one little problem," he said pressing a kiss to her cheek because the tears were falling again and he sensed that was because she knew she'd let Stuart down. "She's already pregnant." He whispered to Stuart not sure if she was ready for Robbie to know just yet.

"Oh shit, Jackie. Whose is..." He stopped dead and realised why she was so angry. The detectives had finally decided to do something about the sexual tension that buzzed around them and it had landed her with a baby at the wrong time. She now, because of her anger, believed that Robbie had planned it. His way to stop her from becoming a surrogate as he was so against it in the first place. "Oh babe," he said pulling her into a hug, his arms running up and down her back before pressing a kiss to her forehead. "We're not angry."

"Actually I'm pretty damned impressed," Ewan said from behind her, his lips pressing a kiss to her neck and smiling over at his husband. "I seriously didn't think that you two would ever see sense." She couldn't help but laugh into Stuart's shoulder as she took hold of his hand and squeezed it. "Come on, I'll take you out for something to eat and then back to ours to watch T.V and you get to see your neice?" She nodded as she allowed Ewan to lead her out, his hand holding onto hers as he smiled over at her and pressed a kiss to her cheek.

"Oh no..." Robbie said moving forward. "There's no way she can freak out on me like that and you just get to walk away without even telling me what the hell is wrong." He said shaking his head causing both Stuart and Ewan to stand between him and Jackie afraid of what else could go flying across the bullpen. It was a shame Burke was out and couldn't come sort out his children detectives.

"Just leave it." Ewan ground out causing even Robbie to stare at him in shock. "She doesn't want to talk to you right now and even your charm won't work. She's coming home with me and that will be how it is, okay?" He pointed out before taking hold of Jackie's hand and leading her out before Robbie could even reply.

"She really hates me this time?"

Stuart just smiled as he moved to sit down in his chair, his hands rubbing over his face before looking over at the man. "It won't be for long, Robbie. She's going to need you and I swear to God, if you let her down..." the sentence might have ended in silence but Robbie got the threat loud and clear but not only that, he now understood what was winding up Jackie.

"Oh God, she's pregnant with my child..." He whispered moving to sit down in his seat before jumping back up. "I can't just let her leave without..."

"Leave. Her. Alone." Stuart said slowly before smiling at him. "I understand that you need to talk to her but just let her calm down. You know what she's like, Robbie. She thinks you're a monster right now and she's not going to calm down any time soon. I think leaving her alone with Ewan will do her some good." There was a long silence between them and Stuart read this as a sign that Robbie had agreed with him so he returned back to his paperwork.

"I'm sorry," Robbie eventually whispered causing Stuart to stop writing again and look up at him, his brow raised in confusion. "I fucked up, again." He said and Stuart could hear the sadness in his voice. "I know that it's natural what happened but we shouldn't have done it. She was so set on being your surrogate and..." He stopped talking aware that tears would fall soon and he didn't need that to be seen while they were at the station.

Smiling, Stuart reached over and squeezed his hand. "There are plenty of people out there that will be able to be our surrogate. Sure, Jackie was damned handy and it would be one beautiful child as well as the fact they'd still have their mother but life doesn't always work out the way we want it to, Robbie. It has, however, finally worked out for you two. I genuinely thought you two were going to go to the grave without ever admitting that you were madly in love with each other and that was driving me insane." He said smiling before pulling his hand away, aware of Robbie's hatred of public displays of affection or even friendship before smiling. "She'll calm down. It might take her a day, a week, a month or even when the small life that you've both created comes into the world but she'll calm down and forgive you because she knows she's being irrational. She just feels like she needs someone to blame as she thinks she's let us down."

"Are you sure you're not angry?"

"I am. I'm angry that she kept it a bloody secret from me! We usual do sordid sex details with each other."

Robbie looked away and sighed. "She left before I woke up. I sense she wanted to forget it had ever happened but now that she's..." He stopped and realised that now he could have a talk with her, face-to-face, about how upset he'd been to wake up and see that she'd gone without even leaving him a note. "She now has to talk to me, right?"

"Eventually, yes." He reinforced that it was going to be tomorrow that Jackie would talk to him. "I do believe, however, that Ewan will make her see sense because she can't hate you forever epsecially not seeing as we work together in such a small space." Sighing, he continued. "You, however, best get thinking of ways to grovel." Robbie sighed also before turning back to his computer and clicking to go online where he found a flower shop that did the same day deliveries and clicked away.

She was lying on the bed in the spare bedroom, her tears long since dried up but she could still feel the urge to cry coursing through her body as her hand rested on her abdomen. She couldn't believe that she'd done this to Stuart and Ewan. Why hadn't they been careful? It was a one night stand. She should have known better than to just sleep with him. They'd not even spoken about it afterwards and yes, she knew that was her fault but now she was having his baby.

Shit. She was having his baby. How the hell could she make sense of this? She knew that he tried so hard with Jamie but the boy was now at the age where he didn't want to be in touch with his dad that much but all she could think about was how Gaby and he had turned out. They couldn't even be in a room most days now without yelling at each other or just insulting each other without even meaning it. She didn't want that for them. She did love him and she sensed that somewhere, deep down, he loved her too.

Well, not after today's show at the office. She cringed as she thought to how much he must hate her right now. He was used to her mood swings but that one had really taken the biscuit. She laughed into her pillow before hearing a small knock at the door. "Hello?" She called out and smiled as Ewan moved in holding a bouquet of white roses and a cup of tea. She smiled. "What are these all about?"

"Well the tea," he said putting it down on the table next to her and then sitting on the end of the bed, "is from me but these," he said handing over the roses, "are not." He said smiling as she took hold of the card and fiddling it through her fingers before reading the card and smiling.

"He doesn't hate me," she whispered smiling causing Ewan to wrap his arms around her shoulders and pressing a kiss to her cheek. Her hand reaching out to grasp one of his hands and smiling at him. "I'm still afraid though, Ewan. What if he doesn't want to be a father to the child?"

"Then he's an idiot," he said reaching over and pressing a kiss to the woman's temple before smiling at him. "And if that happens, I'll kill him then Stuart and I will help you with every step." He promised and she couldn't help but laugh as she wrapped her arms around him and held him close, her tears falling again as she realised that this wasn't going to be as simple as she'd planned now that it was her child.
