Baby? Baby? Our baby?

"Jack?" Ronnie ventured.

Jack remained silent.

"4 months Jack, a Christmas surprise.." Ronnie tried again hoping to get some sort of reaction.

"And you were just going to leave without even telling me?" Jack asked hurt.

Ronnie bowed her head. She was ashamed now, but her decision to leave, it had made sense. She'd thought about it, it was heartbreaking leaving Danielle behind but she couldn't risk her baby being hurt by Jack. Ronnie shrugged.

"I was scared Jack, I didn't know what to do, or how you'd take it?"Ronnie tried explaining, and right now she still had no idea how he'd taken it.

"I would have told you at some point..I did try.." Ronnie stopped remembering what she'd seen when she did try.

"I came to the club, and I saw you and Roxy, and it hurt so much, I just had to get away.." Ronnie's eyes were filled with heart ache. Something Jack noticed right away.

"I'm sorry..." He said looking into her shining blue eyes.

"I didn't mean it it was a mistake.." he continued reaching out for Ronnie's hand across the table, Ronnie mimicked his movements and took his hands.

"I'm sorry for telling you like this, I just I thought you knew, I thought Dan had told you.."

Jack nodded silently his eyes filled with tears but they didn't fall.

"We'd better go.." Ronnie sighed removing her hands from under Jacks.

"Yeah.." Jack replied getting up.

"So you're staying?" Danielle squealed down the phone.

"Yeah.." Ronnie laughed.

"And you've told him about.. everything?"

"Yeah we need to talk things through, sort things out.."

"Are you staying at Jacks tonight?" Danielle asked

Ronnie paused.

"I think I'll be staying there every night.."

"You're moving in?"

"Yeah."

"Oh....I guess you'll be closer.." Danielle said not sure how to feel.

"You ok with this..?" Ronnie asked concerned.

"Of course, look I better go, Stace wants to watch a film before bed.."

Ronnie smiled "Ok then, Good night Dan, I love you."

"....I love you too.."

45 minutes later a cab pulled up outside Jacks. Paying Jack ran to the door to let Ronnie out. Getting her case he smiled.

"Welcome home.."

They both walked inside together, it was 12 am now, but Jack and Ronnie needed some serious talk time..

"I'll put the kettle on" Jack said as soon as they'd closed the door.
