Here's another chapter of Impact, written by Sakura Blossom Storm!

"Gwen?" Duncan cried out, staring at the Goth in front of him, "What…What are you doing here?"

"Blood test" Gwen replied, shrugging her shoulders, "Nothing major".

Duncan nodded understanding, he looked down at the floor, this was his ex girlfriend in front of him, he went off with her trying to get over Courtney after a fiery argument with her.

"What about you?" Gwen asked, "Why are you here, you know I haven't heard from you since you were freaking out over Courtney giving birth, is everything ok?"

Duncan sighed, he looked at Gwen and shook his head, "No…I'm not going to lie, it's not".

Gwen's face then changed, Duncan had never seen this before, her slightly cocky expression had changed into a sort of soft frown, a caring look?

She looked away and saw a bench over looking the sea, she jerked her head towards it inviting Duncan to sit down, "Care to explain?"

Duncan didn't know what to say…or do for that matter, a small beeping noise interrupted his thoughts and he looked down at his phone again to see a message from Courtney.

That's so sweet Duncan, come home soon xxx

Duncan lowered his phone and looked back at Gwen, he was torn.

"She won't mind will she?" Gwen asked.

Duncan hesitated, he knew that Courtney would be upset if she found out he spent an afternoon with Gwen.

"Come on, I won't keep you for no more than twenty minutes" Gwen said.

Reluctantly Duncan walked over to Gwen and the two sat down on the bench, there was a small silence between the two before Gwen spoke up.

"So…you said things weren't well, what's up" She asked.

Duncan leaned forward slightly, "You know when I ran you up asking for help when Courtney was in labour?"

Gwen nodded, "You said that you were worried if something happened to either your kids or Courtney, if I remember you were getting quite hysterical".

Duncan glared at her, "Shut up!" He snapped, Gwen jumped and looked at him, "It's not funny because it actually happened".

Duncan put his head in his hands, "My son…he was born with epilepsy…he had a seizure like two hours after he was born".

Gwen's mouth dropped open slightly, "Duncan…I…I don't know what to say, I'm so sorry".

Duncan shook his head, "He's still in there, my…son, its horrible Gwen, he's hooked up to all these wires and he's…trapped in this glass box".

"Duncan please calm down" Gwen murmured.

"He shouldn't be in there, is this pay back for everything wrong that I've done in my life? Is there someone up in the sky laughing at me saying 'ha-ha Duncan your life is fucked, what are you going to do now?".

"Duncan!" Gwen shouted, making Duncan snap out of his rant, "Calm yourself down now please".

Duncan fell silent and ran his hands through his hair, once again there was a long silence, Gwen eyed him nervously and looked back out to sea.

"Sorry" Duncan mumbled after a good five minutes, "I…I'm sorry".

"It's ok" Gwen said back, "It's probably very hard for you".

"It is" Duncan said, "What if he doesn't get better, we'll be heart broken, I don't know what I would do".

"Duncan you need to stop focusing so much on the bad and start thinking about what's good" Gwen said, Duncan looked at her, his eyes fogging up with tears.

"This is probably one of the best hospitals around, if your son is safe anywhere it's there, you know what they'll be working 24/7 to make sure that your son is going to be ok" Gwen explained, "You need to look at this from Courtney's view too, she spent all those hours in pain only to be repaid with her son in hospital, you need to be there for her as well as getting your own emotions out too…what about the other one?"

Duncan looked confused, "Other one?"

"Your other child, Courtney had twins right?"

Duncan nodded, "Yeah…Molly…she's fine, she's fighting fit actually. When Liam was taken away they took her too and she came back healthy".

"Then that's a good thing" Gwen said rubbing Duncan comfortingly on the back, "They were both in the same place for nine month, so surely they will both turn out ok".

Duncan let one single tear run down his cheek, Gwen had literally just spoken out the reality for him, he had to stop focusing on the bad things and had to think about the positive.

"No one's got it out for you" Gwen finished, "Even if you used to be a rebel delinquent".

He didn't think twice, he pulled Gwen into a friendly hug, "Thank you…so much".

Gwen smiled and returned the hug, "Now, no need to go all soft on me, Courtney changed you…but it's nice".

Duncan pulled away and wiped away the tears, "So…what about you, how's life for you Gwen".

"Pretty nice" Gwen said, "Actually Trent and I hooked back up".

"Serious?" Duncan gasped, shocked.

Gwen nodded, "Yeah, actually he was playing at a bar I went to a while back and we got talking again, it's nice actually".

"Nice" Duncan said with a smile.

"We're in the process of moving in with each other, I mean, it's been confirmed, we just have to find the right place, which is a little hard but hey we'll get there".

"I'm sure you will" Duncan said, he looked over at Gwen, at the mention of Trent her face lit up, she looked very happy, even happier then when she was with him.

"I'm glad you're happy" Duncan said, he dropped his gaze to look back out to the sea and he let out a nervous sigh.

"I know your still thinking about it" Gwen said, "Then again, I would too if I was in your situation".

Gwen reached out and placed her hand on top of Duncan's "Just stay strong, ok. Things will turn out alright, you just watch".

Duncan smiled, "Thanks Gwen".

"It's alright, I better let you go now and let you go back to your wife, but remember if you need anything or anyone to talk to, you have my number" Gwen told him, "Give me a ring".

"Will do" He said, the two locked eyes for the moment and then it hit Duncan, he should never of gone with Gwen when he was getting over Courtney, but still if he didn't maybe none of this would have happened, it was both a blessing and a curse.

Just before Duncan was about to leave he heard a horrified sob behind him, he spun round to see Courtney looking at him.

"Duncan?" She whispered, tears pouring down her face.

In that moment the world seemed to stop, Duncan's eyes widened and he felt slightly sick.

What will happen???
