I've heard the worst news from Primeval Is My Name And I Love Becker!- Ben Mansfield's getting married! To a woman who's old enough to be his mother! (www. contact music. com / photos . nsf / main / vicky_ campbell_ 5513800) I nearly cried! (Anyone up for crashing the wedding? :P ) Anyway I this bit of news has made me come up with yet more major evens to happen in this Story! (There are now a total of six major events to happen.) If you can guess at least one, you can draw up a plot line for a chapter :)

Not long after Connor's discovery and the three of you are summoned to Lester's office where you're met by your livid bosses. "I have the right mind to fire all three of you!" Burton snarls as soon as you're settled in the armchair in the corner, Jess in the arm chair opposite you and Connor stood between the two of you. "Miss Parker for allowing Si out on the field, Si for disobeying the and Connor for halting his important work!'

"You can't be Serious !" you laugh in Shock. "What were we meant to do?"

"Wait for backup!"

"It wasn't coming!" you reply in a tone as harsh and as loud as Burton's. "Or are we forgetting that Cain had no intention of showing up? He was found at the supermarket!"

"She has a point." Connor speaks up. "The last thing we should be worrying about it what we did wrong."

"Exactly. We should be working on how to get them back!" you drop the harsh tone, switching for an almost pleading one. "We know how long ago they are, if we could just-"

"You're in enough trouble as it is!" Burton snaps, cutting you off. "You have no more right to suggest our next step than you do to continue working here. Once this meeting is over, you will remove yourself from the premises."

"You're firing her?" Jess blinks at the goat man and Lester, speaking up for the first time.

"We are. Miss Parker, you will take the rest of the day off and will return on time tomorrow. You may collect Si's possessions then."

"I'm not even allowed to empty my locker?" you ask incredulously, your mouth falling open.

"You are not. Robinson will take the Captain's place and Mr Temple will return to work now."

"You can't make him work!" you cry incredulously. "He's just lost his wife!"

"I do not take advise from ex-employees." you flare at him but say nothing more on the subject, Burton and Lester remain quiet and you take this as your queue to leave.

"It's barbaric!" Jess exclaims once the office door had closed behind you. "he can't fire you!"

"He just did." you point out making your way towards the lift to your right, Connor and Jess in tow.

"Jess has a point." Connor tries to reason. "You can't seriously be thinking about letting him go through with this!"

"Lester's agreed and so there's nothing I can do other than look for a new job." you sigh as the doors whoosh close behind the three of you.

"So that's it?" Jess asks, gaping at you. "You're just going to give up? Go home? He's your husband for God's sake!"

"This isn't just about Becker and me." you point out as the doors re-open, allowing you access to the car park. "This is about Megan and Ben too. To find a new job I'll need good references from my previous employers. Or as good as they can possibly be now." Jess and Connor are still looking flabbergasted and you sigh. "Come round after work and I'll explain." you leave the two of them stood by the lift doors, their faces shocked.

Three hours later and you're serving coffee to Jess, Connor and Robinson who are sat on your sofa. You hand Megan and Ben their dummies and settle down in the armchair opposite your three colleagues. "I'm taking it you're not 'going quietly'?" Robinson starts and you nod in confirmation.

"I have no intention of 'going quietly' at all. Tomorrow morning, when Jess drops off my things, she'll be dropping off Danny Quinn too."

"What?" Jess cries but you wave her quiet.

"In amongst my things will be two EMDs and two bluetooth devices."

"This is going to be just like a spy movie!" Connor grins, rubbing his hands together. "Danny will be so happy to be part of it." he adds almost longingly.

"This is all very well, but how is this going to help the fact that you've been fired?" Robinson asks and you smile.

"I'm going to leave that to Danny, but I'll let you know when he decides."

Despite everything, and ARC company car draws up outside your house at five to twelve the next morning and Danny hops from the cab carrying a box of your stuff. Jess waves from the drives seat and you muse just how weird it is to see such a Petit woman drive a large car. You drop the thought as Danny bounds through the front door. "Si!" He grins, sweeping you into a bone crushing hug. "Oh, it's great to see you again! Jess explained everything so no need to bore me with the details."

"That's good then. I take it you've thought up a plan?"

"Well, because I'm still allowed into the ARC, I could do some more security testing if you'd like."

"Brilliant." you smile. Danny draws you into another hug before asking, "How old are Megan and Ben now?"

"Five months. Why?"

"Please tell me you're pregnant."

"I'm not pregnant!" you laugh and he groans.

"I've just lost fifty quid to Abby, Jess and Matt!"

"You were betting on mine and Becker's sex life!" you cry, slapping his arm. "And what about Connor?"

"He bet when they were three months old."

"Danny!"

"Hey! Connor came up with the bet!"

"That figures." you mutter, sinking onto the sofa. "Do I want to know abut the others?"

"Abby bet six months, Matt eight and Jess is giving you more time with nine."

"Oh, great. Just wait until Becker hears about this." you laugh harshly.

"So, have the two of you even had time to have se-"

"Danny!"

Danny grins, holds up his hands in surrender and backs out of the room, taking the stairs to the spare room. You hear him make a detour to greet Megan and Ben and you roll your eyes. You spy your mobile on the coffee table and toy with the idea of ringing Jenny. "Mind if I use the shower?" Danny calls down the stairs. You give him permission, reaching for the mobile and dialling Jenny's number.

Hello? Jenny answers on the second ring.

"Hey Jen. It's Si."

Oh, hi. She doesn't sound happy and you frown.

"Have I called you at a bad time?"

It's always a bad time. She mutters darkly. I was about to call you.

"Oh? What's the matter?"

Jenny takes a deep breath before replying. Me and Michael are getting a Divorce.

"Oh! Jenny!"

That's not all.

"I can't imagine how It could get much worse than that!" you exclaim, running a hand over your face and leaning back into the sofa. Jenny and Michael seemed to work so well together but you guess that not everything is as it seems.

I'm pregnant

It takes a few minutes for the information to sink in. "Um, congratulations on being pregnant. Shouldn't that be a reason for the two of you to try to make your marriage work?"

No! Jenny cries so loud it nearly burst your eardrum. You here a car horn in the background and you frown.

"Are you driving?"

I went for a walk around London. Jenny mutters sheepishly.

"Good. Come round." you hang up, not giving her time to argue. "Danny!" you yell up the stairs. "Make yourself presentable! Jenny's coming round! And be nice to her!" you add, turning to put the kettle on in the kitchen. Danny bounds downstairs a few seconds later, Megan and Ben in his arms. "You may want to leave them upstairs." you sigh. Danny frowns but complies as there's a knock at the door. You run to answer it, your mouth dropping open. "I though you were like, two weeks pregnant." you comment as you step aside to allow a heavily pregnant Jenny into the hallway.

"No." she replies steadily. You notice that she hasn't been crying. "Six months."

"You never said when I saw you last!" Jenny doesn't reply but moves to sit on the sofa.

"Why is there a box of your stuff there?" she asks, gesturing to the box of things from your office and locker.

"I was fired." you shrug, taking up your usual seat in the armchair.

"What! What did Becker have to say about that?"

"That's why." you say quietly. You don't get anything else in as Danny bounds down the stairs.

"Did I hear the voice of Jenny?" he grins, entering the living room. He stops dead when he sees her swollen mid-section. "Woah."

"Hi Danny." Jenny says quietly and you feel an awkward moment growing. You see the hurt on Danny's face and the upset on Jenny's and gather that Jenny never approached Danny when he escaped from hospital.

"Have a seat Danny." you motion for the man to sit before turning to Jenny. "Danny's staying with me to help plan my revenge on Burton." there's another silence that Jenny breaks.

"I'll help if you like."

"What about your husband?" Danny asks and you can watch Jenny's resolve crumble as she breaks down into tears. Danny looks startled but draws her into a hug. The three of you sit on the sofa for a while and you bring Jenny and Danny up to date on ARC business. When you feel you can approach Jenny on the subject of her pregnancy and her estranged husband, you ask the most pressing question.

"Why are you and Michael getting a divorce."

"How long have you got?" Jenny laughs harshly. "He decided that he now wants me to have an abortion. He raised the issue with the GP with out my consent but was informed it was too late. He then decided that the baby has to be put up for adoption when it is born. I refused. The second point, or third if you count the previous as two, is that he has been having an affair for the past three months."

"What!" you and Danny yell in sync.

"Her name is Sophia Crawley. I know this because he openly told me two nights ago whilst filling out the divorce forms."

"I'll kill them both!" Danny yells, tightening his arms around Jenny.

"You'll have to beat me to it." you growl. "What will you tell the baby?"

"I'll tell him that his father was a lying, cheating bastard who deserves to be shot. If I happen to re-marry, I'll make sure my second husband acts so much like a father the child will believe it." Jenny replies as though it's the simplest thing on Earth." Danny chuckles and you frown as the doorbell rings.

"Excuse me." you mutter, getting to your feet. You pull the door open and come face to face with Lester.
