Broken hearts

Danny sat by Ronnie as she fell asleep. He was holding her hand and watching her as she breathed. He smiled as he watched her, but he was not smiling on the inside. Underneath his tee-shirt his heart was beating ten times faster than normal. Danny's eyes flickered from Ronnie to the door and back again.

"Danny, mate are you ok?" Jez said. "You look really pale."

"Yeah," BB said, concerned "Are you sure you don't want a drink or something?"

"Gosh stop crowding the poor boy!" Lauren said and Lola and Claudine giggled.

Danny was waiting for the doctor to come back and confirm that he could donate bone marrow to his son. After what seemed like years, the doctor walked through the door. Danny gently shook Ronnie awake as the doctor gave them a confused look. As she read through the file in her hands.

"Right, I have some bad news. Daniel's DNA does not match Brendon's. Are you sure that Danny is the father?" Ronnie looked up at Danny and her face had a look of guilt on it.

"Look Danny, I never told you this but… Brendon isn't definitely yours. I slept with some one else before the time we did and there could be a chance Brendon is his not yours,"

"What!? Who!?" Danny said as tears poured from his eyes. Ronnie looked at Jez. Jez looked back and shook his head ever so slightly. Ronnie turned back to Danny.

"Well" She said ignoring Jez's hint "It's…"

"NO!" Danny shouted suddenly, making everyone in the room jump "NO! I don't want to know!! But Ronnie I have to ask you something and you have to answer truthfully. Ok. Do you or did you have any feelings for this guy?"

"No!! I never have done and I never will do! It was a huge drunken mistake! I wish it had never happened! The only thing that kept me sane was knowing that I would have a little baby boy, our baby boy, our baby boy Brendon…"

"No Ronnie, no. Your little baby boy, your baby boy, your baby boy Brendon! Not mine! Yours!!!!!" Danny said, his voice getting increasingly louder until he was shouting at Ronnie. He stormed out of the room slamming the door behind him.

"So who's is it!?" Claudine said leaning in. Lauren gave her a disgusted look then leaned in her self.

"Do I have to tell you!?"

"YES!!" BB, Lola, Lauren and Claudine chorused.

"Ok… it's Jez's. BUT before you say ANYTHING let me explain. Jez was upset about his dad not being at his 18th and about the fact his mum was gone and such and I was trying to cheer him up. We ended up drinking A LOT and then one thing lead to another and before I knew it we were… you know." Everyone in the room turned to Jez who was standing at the back of the room looking at the ground. BB began to say something but Jez interrupted him.

"Before you judge me! I was VERY drunk and VERY upset and Ronnie was just trying to comfort me!"

"By doing what exactly!?" Lauren said. She turned to Ronnie with a horrified look on her face. "I can't believe you did this to Danny!! What? Where you just NEVER gonna tell him that the father of your child is in fact, a rich gay tap dancer!?"

"Lauren just GET OUT!!! I REALLY don't need this at the moment!!! All of you GET OUT!!!!" She screamed pointing at the door. They all slowly walked out, shuffling their feet and feeling slightly guilty. The door shut and Ronnie began cry hysterically, holding her head in her hands. Jez looked through the window in the door and ran his hands through his hair. He felt awful. More than awful. He had just broken up a family. As he realised this tears began to pour from his eyes. He felt worse than ever as he sank to the floor with his back against the closed door, and thought of what had just happened. He tried to think of a solution but he could only think of one. To leave. To go some where far, far away. Permanently.
