"Hey, where do you want to go for Valentine's Day?" Jay asked. "Beale's? Or we could up West? You know seeing it's our last Valentine's Day where we don't have to make childcare arrangements.."

Abi laughed, rolling his eyes at his comment. They were both sat on the bed, Jay on his phone and Abi doing coursework.

"Valentine's Day isn't for another – what? Two weeks?" She raised her eyebrows.

"Twelve days," Jay replied and Abi laughed in amusement. "What? I heard it on the radio like a hundred time today at work."

"Yeah right," she rolled her eyes.

"It's true! He defended himself with a teasing smirk. "So, come on then, where should we go?"

"I don't know, Jay," she shrugged, struggling to get comfortable. Her baby bump was really starting to get in the way now, especially when she was trying to do stuff for sixth form. It didn't help that Jay's room was so small that it was literally just the bed and the wardrobe, which could get quite claustrophobic when she worked herself up into a state. Even when she was in college, her mood swings and exhaustion made it really difficult to concentrate on her work. It's safe to say that being six months pregnant was even harder than it looked.

"Right, that's it, what's wrong?" Jay questioned, pushing himself up on the bed.

"Nothing, I'm fine," she spat.

"That's what you always say when you're not fine," he retorted. When she didn't say anything, he sighed and reached for her hand. "Abi, talk to me."

"I just..." she started, but stopped herself. She ran a hand over her face, before chucking her pen and paper to the floor in frustration. "I just can't concentrate, and you rambling on about flamin' Valentine's Day isn't really helping. Honestly, Jay, where we're going to eat twelve days from now is the least of my worries."

"...Okay," Jay replied. Over the past few months, he'd grown more than used to the random outbursts of anger. She had a temper before, but the baby hormones were making her a little crazy with it. "Alright, it doesn't matter."

"I'm sorry," she sighed, shaking her head.

"Don't be daft, it's fine," he smiled, squeezing her hand.

"No, it's not," she looked down. "I just don't know what to do."

"About what?"

"Sixth form."

"You're not still considering dropping out, are you?"

"I don't know, maybe?"

"Abs..."

"Look, it would just be temporary. I can go back in September," Abi explained. "My exams start in May – a month after I'm due. How am I supposed to revise with a newborn baby?"

"How are you going to revise next year with a one-year old?" Jay questioned.

"I know, but I don't want to stress myself out too much now," she shrugged, rubbing her growing bump.

"You won't be, babe," Jay sighed. "You'll have me. I'll be here, as much as I can, okay? I'll do everything I can to help you, you know that."

"I know," she smiled. She knew how lucky she was to have him, and she knew he was going to be there for her and the baby, but she was still unsure. "Maybe you're right."

"Just stick to it for now, yeah?" He suggested. "You've come so close, babe. You said yourself it's just another month or two before it's all revision, then the exams."

"Yeah, and how am I going to do the exams a month after giving birth?"

"Look, I'll do all the night feeds, okay?" Jay said, making them both laugh. "I promise, all of them – or, at least when you have an exam the next day. And you'll have your parents, your nan, Dot, Dexter, Lola, Lauren..."

"Okay, okay, I get it," she laughed, rolling her eyes playfully. "I'll stay in sixth form."

"Good," he grinned, before letting out an over-dramatic sigh. "...Fancy a takeaway?"

"Yeah," she laughed. "Like what?"

"Indian?"

"...Or chips?"

"Why not Indian?"

"Because your daughter wants chips," she insisted, throwing him a smirk as she placed both hands on her baby bump. She'd been using that excuse for her entire pregnancy, and she was fully intending on using it right up until she gave birth. Hell, she'd use it even after giving birth if she could. "And she doesn't like Indian food."

"Fine, fine," he sighed teasingly, shaking his head as he got up off the bed.

"I love you," she smiled, gently rubbing her bump again. "And she loves you too."

"Yeah, well I'm pretty lovable," he smirked, leaning over to give her a kiss – which she quite happily responded to.

"Mhmm, yes you are," she nodded, before giving him a slight nudge. "Now go, I'm starving."

"Bloody cheek," he muttered, biting back a smirk as Abi laughed.

Jay shut the door behind him, and Abi laid down in bed. She was genuinely happy and she couldn't believe she'd ever doubted something was wrong. Ever since New Year, things had been going really well between them. She wasn't sure what had changed, and Lola still thought she should have pushed harder about what was going on, but she didn't care now. They were happy now – they were perfect, actually. Maybe she was just being paranoid at the time, but everything was okay now. She trusted him.

She moved off the bed to pick the papers off the floor, putting them on the tiny bedside cupboard. As she did so, she heard Jay's phone vibrating on the bed. He must have forgotten to pick it up before he left. She fought the urge to roll her eyes – he'd forget his head if it wasn't screwed on. She leaned over to see who it was and saw it was an unknown number, so she just ignored it and sat back down on the bed. It eventually stopped ringing, but just a few seconds later, it was ringing again. His ringtone did her head in, so she quickly picked up the phone.

"Hello?"

"Who's this? Where's Jay?" A female voice came through the phone, and Abi frowned.

"This is Abi, his girlfriend..." she replied, confusedly. "Who's this?"

"Abi...his girlfriend," the girl replied, as if she'd come to a realization. "Can you do me a favour? Tell your precious Jay that I'm not going to be his dirty little secret anymore."

Jay couldn't help the smile plastered across his face as he walked back to the B&B. Everything was genuinely perfect and he couldn't have been happier. He'd come so close to losing it all, but he'd managed to not have any contact with Kitty for almost a week now. She clearly craved the attention, and he was giving her that everytime he dealt with another of her threats. They were clearly empty threats, considering it was usually the fact that she knew where he (and Abi) lived if she decided one day to pop by Walford. It wasn't easy to cut someone off when they were threatening to show up on your doorstep.

It didn't matter, anyway, considering she seemed to get the hint. Dexter seemed to think that she'd leave him get on with his life with Abi and their daughter now, and he could only pray that was true. He barely even knew her - she was just some tart he met on holiday, yet she had his entire life in her hands. All it would take was one word from her and...well, he could lose Abi and their baby. He could lose his entire world, just like that, all because of one stupid moment of madness. Maybe Dexter was right, maybe he should have confessed everything to Abi as soon as it happened. But she was pregnant, for crying out loud. He didn't want to cause her any unnecessary stress or upset.

As he entered the B&B, he noted how quiet it was before immediately going upstairs to his and Abi's room.

"Sorry it took so long, it was crazy busy for some reason?" He froze as he looked up and saw her stood there, tears running down her cheeks. He put the bag of hot food down on the bedside table, and instinctively reached for her hand to comfort her. "Hey, what's-"

He didn't get to finish his question, due to the surprise as she flinched away from his touch. Hell, he hadn't even touched her before she'd pulled away. He swore his heart actually sunk, and he was almost afraid to ask his next question.

"Babe, what's wrong?"

"What's wrong?" She echoed mockingly, raising her eyebrows. "My boyfriend's a good for nothing, lying, cheating scumbag – that's what's wrong, babe."

Ooh, look who finally updated this. Between work and college, fanfiction has had to take a bit of a backseat. Which is why this is so short - I don't have the energy to write more, but the next chapter is what I've been building up to for a while now! Pretty much the entire story actually, hahaha. So hopefully that will be longer and/or updated sooner. Anyway, thank you so much for reading! If you have a moment spare to drop me a quick review, that would make my day/week/life. Until next time. xo

P.S. How cute were those Jabi scenes at Jay's birthday this week?! They're so adorable. I love that they're still close, even though it's a bit weird to live with your ex because you're 'dating' his 'brother'. Only on EastEnders, seriously.
