Danielle had been at Jacks watching Amy for two hours now and she was beginning to worry about what could of happened between them she hoped they would get back together but she was worried about her mum too the past few days she had been acting so strange and she thought she had heard her being sick a couple of times.

Danielle – do you think there ok Amy? The baby gurgled and Danielle smiled sitting back with her to watch t.v.

At Ronnie's flat Jack was left stunned by Ronnies confession and didn't know what to say he was just still sat kneeling in front of her holding her hand looking from her to her tummy

Ronnie – don't look at me like that Jack!

Jack – your pregnant?! He was finally registering what she had said.

Ronnie – yeah I am.

Jack – but we've always been careful Ron how did...are you sure? Have you done a test?

Ronnie – I done two and i've been the surgery Jack am four months.

Jack – four months but your not even showing... how long have you knew?

Ronnie – not long when Danielle got her letter off the uni.

Jack – what? Are you joking Ronnie! You was in the club that night you was drinking!

Ronnie – and do you blame me Jack my world was falling apart around me and to top it all off I find out am pregnant what did you want me to do. She shouted at him standing up but he pulled her back down by the hand he was holding on to her with.

Jack – alright am sorry just calm down it's no good for the baby, please! She did as he asked and sat back down Jack perched in front of her taking her hands in his. "This doesn't change anything you know Ron"

Ronnie – Jack! She was about to plead with him

Jack – it doesn't change the way I feel about you everything I said I still mean it. Ron we probably would of had kids sooner or later it just means that now we don't have to try.

Ronnie – are you saying we should have this baby?

Jack – you tell me one reason why we shouldn't.

Ronnie –Jack were not even together anymore.

Jack – aren't we I thought that was why I was here Ron I know you still love me.

Ronnie – am not denying that Jack but look at us were hardly the ideal parents are we, we cant even look after each other.

Jack – Ron i will if you let me. He put his hand on her tummy stroking it softly with his thumb. "This is our baby Ron mine and yours we can do this if you want to"

Ronnie – it's not that Jack it's just...

Jack – what?

Ronnie – Jack the last time I was pregnant I was 14 and she was took away from me I don't want to do anything that makes her leave me again. Jack sighed looking lovingly at Ronnie pulling her in to a hug rubbing her back.

Jack – what do you want? He whispered softly.

Ronnie – I want us to be family but I...

Jack – shush! He put his finger on her lips to stop her from talking then whispered "thats all that matters" and kissed her softly as she sniffled kissing him back he wiped her tear stained face and cuddled her to him "Oh Jack!" he smiled to himself and pressed a kiss on her hair closing his eyes glad to be able to hold her like this before realising the fact that they were actually going to be a proper family.

Jack – It's ok to be scared Ron but nobody can ever take this baby away from us and Danielle will be happy for us I know she will.

Ronnie – can we not tell her just for the time being.

Jack - we'll do whatever you want. I wont push you to do anything you don't want to.

Ronnie squeezed Jack to her scared of letting him go now that she had him back, he too held her tightly after fearing they would never be this close again. As time past they ended up laying on the sofa in each others arms chatting away as if they had never been apart. Jack lay with one arm around Ronnie holding her close and the other rested on her tummy as his thumb stroked it back and fourth.

Jack – were gonna have to move out you know we cant have a baby running around in our flats.

Ronnie – we've got plenty of time for that Jack the first thing i've gotta do is talk to Danielle I just hope she'll be ok.

Jack – I know Ron but thats what I mean it's gonna be too cramped theres only the three of us here and were practically living on top of each other as it is. Imagine if Penny came over to stay or even Amy your already 4months babe we haven't got that much time plus we need to get everything for the baby its just too small here.

Ronnie – ok Jack we'll look in to houses close by alright just calm down your getting ahead of yourself.

Jack – am not i've just realised that were gonna be a proper family all four of us!

Danielle – what do you mean the four of us? Unaware to Jack and Ronnie Danielle had been stood at the doorway holding Amy in her arms and had heard what had been said. Ronnie jumped up turning to look at her daughter as did Jack as he stood up giving his hand to Ronnie helping her up from the sofa.

Jack – Dan am sorry I totally forgot...but we made up! Jack smiled approaching her looking at Amy.

Danielle – yeah I can see that. She looked past him to her mother who stood looking guilty.

Jack – come on sweetheart come to daddy! Jack picked up Amy from Danielle's arms and held her close. "I'll just leave you two alone" Ronnie smiled at him and he winked back before going in to her bedroom with Amy leaving the two women staring at each other.

Danielle – whats going on mum?

Ronnie – nothing darling come and sit down. Danielle did as her mother asked and took a seat on the sofa next to her.

Danielle – what was Jack talking about when I came in?

Ronnie – well we just had a talk and decided to get back together and give it another go. Now I found something out a few days ago now but i didn't want to ruin your day so I didn't tell you.

Danielle – are you sick? Panic had etched across Danielle's face now as her mother spoke more serious.

Ronnie – no darling am fine it's nothing like that. It's just well I found out am pregnant Dan.

Danielle was in shock at first and then frowned confusingly not knowing what to do, what did this mean for her now Ronnie was having another baby maybe she didn't need her anymore. She felt Ronnie's hand hold on to her own and squeezed it tightly.

Ronnie – this doesn't change anything sweetheart. This doesn't change anything between me and you.

Danielle – yeah but your having another baby it must mean something! When did you find out? When was you going to tell me? Tears pursing in her eyes as the questions poured out.

Ronnie – please darling don't be upset i've only just told Jack and we was gonna tell you tomorrow when we had a little time to think about everything ourselves! Ronnie was almost pleading with her but she didn't know what else to do.

Danielle – I've gotta go I erm I told Stacey I'd go see her. She fidgeted on the sofa as if she was looking for something wiping away the tears that had fallen from her eyes spreading down her cheeks.

Ronnie – Danielle don't go not now. Lets talk about this. Danielle's eyes were filling up and Ronnie could see it she held her arms out taking Danielle in to them and holding her close even though Danielle wasn't hugging her back. "This does not mean that I don't want you ok it just happened. So you go see Stacey yeah you talk to her tell her how you feel anything but just remember how much I love you!" Ronnie's voice was breaking as she spoke her last words and Danielle hugged her now before pulling away from her.

Danielle – don't get upset mum its not good for you or the baby. Danielle kissed her on the cheek before leaving the flat she walked out sitting outside on the steps for a second to collect herself and her feelings before heading up towards the club Ronnie had given her a set of keys a while ago, she unlocked the door and headed inside it was empty as she had hoped. Going behind the bar she picked up a bottle of wine and filled up a glass before taking a seat in a corner of the club. "Cheers!" She raised her glass before swallowing back a mouthful of wine and placing it down again on the table laughing to herself.

"She's having a baby"
