Chapter Fourteen
They had returned home earlier and had spent the day talking about their wedding day, planing every little detail, Stevie had even began to right down a few odd notes and had popped to the local shop to get some magazines. Returning home she made her way out to the kitchen and shouted through "I will do the washing up then Smithy" glaring at the lunch things still resting in the bowl. She walked over and began running some water into it she grinned as his hands slipped slowly round her slim waiste "You need to learn these wifely duties..." she interupted "Duties?". He gently kissed her kneck as he spoke "I have so much planned for you once we are married". She grinned "Im surprised you are happy to wait that long...". He run his hands to her hips and grinned "Who says I am intending to wait eh?" he lifted her top up and smiled as her small black bra came into sight, he placed his hands to her back and grinned "I love you" she nodded slightly as his lips began to move over her shoulders, he began to undo her jeans before smiling "D'you know what.. I think its so much sexier when you do the washing up in your underwear". She grinned "I bet you do" she turned to face him and placed a kiss to his lips, he pulled away and slid her jeans down her legs, as he rested down at the kitchen table he grinned cheekly at her "Come on then Miss Moss them plates wont clean themselves". She smiled before turning back to the washing up.
Waking the next morning she grinned at Smithy as he slept soundly next to her, they were both due in work in an hour, she knew his alarm would go off at any moment, she reached over his naked body, feeling hers gently brush his and switched the alarm off, she lent down and placed a soft kiss to his lips, as she pulled away she noticed him smirk slightly "No". She lent down and placed another kiss "I dont want anything" she smiled as she pulled away, she stared at him as he kept his eyes locked shut "You always want something..." he paused as he opened his eyes "And you always know how to get it.." she grinned "As hard as I do find it not to jump on you at every given opurtunity I need to get ready for work..." he nodded slightly as she sat up in the bed revealling her body to him, he sighed slightly as a grin smoothered her face "Unless you fancy being late for work...". She lent back down into his lips placing another kiss, she broke away as her phone began to ring on the bedside table, she lent accross and lifted it to her ear "DS Moss". He sighed as she rose from the bed, pulling the covers round her, and making her way into the ensuite.
She smiled as she walked into the kitchen, watching him making a cup of tea she grinned "I thought we were staying in bed.." he interupted "We were until your phone rang". She moved over and placed her hands to his back "Im sorry... it was Alex.. he wants to see me..". Smithy turned to face her "What did you say?" she sighed "That I would think about it..." he smiled "He is your son Stevie... he had a right to know where he came from.. I know his adoptive parnets are making it hard but I also know deep down.. you want to know your son..". She smiled "You really annoy me sometimes...". He grinned "What have I done now..". She kissed his lips gently "I hate it that you know me so well".
He had been sat at his desk about forty five minutes when he heard a knock on the door, "Gov... there is a Alex Summers in reception for you... says its personal?" Nate smiled from the door way. "Ok PC Roberts... let him know I am on my way". He rose to his feet and grabbed for the phone on his desk, he began dialling her number knowing she would be at her desk, he froze, deciding Stevie had enough on her plate he had to deal with this himself. He made his way out of his office and headed for reception. He smiled at the young man sat down before gesturing to the front interview room "We can talk in here.." Alex followed him inside and rested down into a seat, Smithy could tell he was agitated, he didnt want to be there, he still didnt look well but he had only recently come out of hospital. "What can I do for you Alex... I can get Stevie down if yo..." Alex interupted "No... I erm.. I thought it would be easier to disscus this with you...". Smithy nodded, this didnt sound good, he wondered if Stevie had rejected him and Alex had come to him for help. "I cant see Stevie again..." Alex began. Smithy shook his head "I dont understand... you rang her asking to meet her...". Alex nodded "I know I was gunna tell her myself but I think its better coming from you, she loves you... I am sorry... its just my parents have told me to choose... and as much as I wanted to get to know Stevie... they have brought me up... can you tell her I am sorry.. I am going home.." Smithy interupted "I cant do that... she has been through so much the last couple of weeks... I cant break her heart again... she wont cope". Alex rose to his feet "Im sorry..." Smithy glared at him "Thats it... you are sorry... why did you bother.. you have turned her life upside down.. and now you are walking away.. after everything that has happened with the baby and Stephanie..". Alex smiled "Who is Stephanie?" he asked. Smithy shook his head "Im sorry I shouldnt of said that". Alex moved towards him "Well you have now... who is Stephanie?". Smithy sighed "It doesnt matter now.." he glared at him "If you dont tell me Smithy I will go and ask her... who is Stephanie?". Smithy ran his hand over his face "You were a twin Alex... your sister Stephanie was stillborn... Stevie she wanted to...". Alex interupted "I cant believe she was gunna keep something like that from me... I had doubts about cutting her from my life... and I would of tried to convince my parents in time to give her a chance... but now.. I cant believe she lied to me..". Smithy grabbed his wrist as he began to walk away "Alex please.. it changes nothing..". Alex nodded "It changes everything" he pulled the door open and stormed towards the entrance, seeing Stevie crossing the car park he glared at her "You liar... I cant believe you did this to me". She shook her head "Alex please.. I dont understand.." she paused as he climbed into the waiting taxi and it drove away, she turned back to face Smithy "Whats going on?". He smiled at her "Im sorry... I didnt think". She glared at him "Whats going on Smithy, what have you done?". He gestured inside "Lets talk inside... in private".
She rested down at his desk and smiled to him, she placed her hands gently onto her knees, she had noticed her hadnt quite made eye contact, she could tell he felt guilty it was written all over his face, but what she didnt understand was why, what could he possibly of done. "Smithy... I have decided to give it a go with Alex.. he is my son.. I want to make it work..". He flopped down in his chair finally making his eyes meet hers "Stevie... he asked me to tell you he couldnt see you any more.." She glanced down, digging her nails into the material of her jeans, distracting herself as best she could from the news. She nodded "Ok.. ok.. its fine.." she rose to her feet and headed for the door, before turning back "Why did he call me a liar Smithy?". Smithy took a sharp breath "I was trying to convince him not to walk out on you... and it all came slipping out.." he paused moving over towards her "About Stephanie..". She shook her head "No.. you gave me your word Smithy... how could you do this to me.." she turned and headed for the door, he grabbed her wrist and she turned and slapped his face "You had no right Smithy... that was my secret to tell him... I cant believe you have done this to me...". He grabbed her arm once again "Stevie please... Im so sorry... I didnt mean..." she interupted "No.. I dont want to hear it... you leave me alone.. I will never forgive you for this Smithy".
She had packed a few things into her bag, hearing the front door bang she shoved the last of her things into the bag before zipping it up, she turned to the bedroom door and seeing him staring at her she smiled slightly "I am going away for a few days to my parents... I need some space Smithy". He shook his head "Please Stevie... I am so sorry.. I love you". She nodded "I know you do... but I dont know how I feel about you any more.. you have betrayed me Smithy...". He grabbed her wrist and watched the tears slowly stream down her face "I love you.. please.. you mean the world to me.." he felt the words chocking him as the tears began to run down his cheeks "I am so so sorry Stevie... please dont walk out on me". She pulled from him, trying and failing to stop her tears "I have to go Smithy... please dont make this any harder than it already is... I need some time.. I need to sort my feelings out.. please Smithy". He nodded letting her go and watching her leave before sliding down the wall letting his emotions go and the tears stream down his face, had he really lost the love of his life for good this time.
