JUST OLD FRIENDS - PART 8

As jess and lex sat in the kitchen with a cup of tea, Lex was trying hard not to say the wrong thing and get Jess upset again. "Lex what if it's his?" Jess said breaking the silence. "Listen Jess don't worry about it im sure it'll be Duncan's, just don't think about Tom" Lexie finished taking a sip from her mug. "Well we'll find out tomorrow for sure yeh" Jess smiled trying to reassure herself. "Im off to bed now, night Lex" Jess said leaving the room. "Night Jess" Lexie shouted.

NEXT DAY...
Lexie slept in later and was woken up by screams. She jumped out of bed and ran to the landing. "What's going on?" she shouted down the hall. "Oh Lex lex, its great news the babies Duncan's!!!" Jess shouted at Lex. She ran over and hugged her. "Jess I can't believe it im so happy for you" Lexie screamed. "Im really happy Lex, Duncan's even asked me to move in with him" Jess said in tears. Lexie couldn't believe it. Everything had worked out for Jess and Duncan and she was so pleased for them.
"Well I have to start getting things packed now cya later Lex" Jess smiled as she walked down the hall. "Cya" Lexie shouted back. She then walked down the hall and into the bathroom to have a quick bath. "Lex is that you in the bathroom?" shouted a voice from the hall. "Yeh" she replied back. Seconds later Archie walked in and sat at the edge of the bath. "Morning sleepy head, have you heard the good news?" Archie asked. "Yeh its great isn't it" Lexie said smiling at Archie. Archie leaned over and kissed her softly on the lips. "I'll leave you to your bath then sweetheart" Archie said getting up to leave.

30mins later Lexie had finished her bath and went downstairs for breakfast. "Morning everyone" she said as she walked in. No one answered her and as she looked up she found that the room was empty. It was then she found a note on the table. It read

'Great' thought Lexie. She quickly put her jacket on and ran out to join them down at the loch. "Hey Lex you made it" Duncan shouted as she ran down. "Yeh sorry I was getting ready" Lexie replied. She went over to Archie and kissed him on the cheek. "Hey you" she said smiling. Archie turned and smiled back at her. "C'mon I'll get you a drink" He said pulling her away.

Music was playing and everyone was dancing and enjoying themselves. "Oh look Archie dear, who's he?" Molly asked pointing towards the house. Archie looked over. "It's Tom" Archie said turning to everyone.
