Part Two - Susie's POV
Crying, that was what I woke up to an hour ago. Joey was hungry and I couldn't believe Jonesy could sleep through it. I'm now wide awake and Joey has gone back to sleep. So much has happened over the past year. I finally got my date with Jonesy after he dumped that bimbo, Donna. Personally I think I'm much better suited to Jonesy. I also have experienced morning sickness and I don't think I want to have another baby in the near future. And anyway Joey is enough of a handful. If only Jo was here to see her. I miss her so much. Joey is going to grow up, knowing all about Auntie Jo, her namesake. I look around my new house. Well, mine and Jonesy's house. I lost everything when the bomb went off, but now I'm starting a new life with Jonesy and Joey.
"Morning, babe." I heard Jonesy as he walked into the kitchen. "Where's Joey?"
"Sleeping, like I want to be." I replied grumpily. "I've been up for an hour already. I can't believe you slept through Joey's crying."
"She's loud, that's for sure." Jonesy added. 'Just like Jo."
I nodded sadly. "What's the date?"
Jonesy walked over to the calendar on the kitchen wall and as he looked at it, he happy face turned sad.
"It's the seventh of July." He said quietly and I knew.
It was the one year anniversary of Jo's death.
"The...the...the..." I just couldn't seem to say it out loud. "You know what day it is."
"Yeah, the one year anniversary of Jo and Clancy's death." Jonesy said sadly. "Boy, I miss Jo so much."
"Me too." I added softly and Jonesy gave me a big hug.
An hour later, Jonesy and I were ready for work. All that was left was Joey's babysitter to arrive. There was a knock at the door.
"That'll be Emma." Jonesy shouted and went to let her in. "Hi Emma, come on in. Susie is in the living room with Joey."
Jonesy and Emma walked into the living room.
"Hey, Emma." I said. "Here's Joey. We got to go or we'll be late. Take care of my darling. Bye Joey, bye Emma."
"Bye girls." Jonesy said, as he followed me out of the door and into the car.
In the car, Jonesy started talking.
"Hey, Sues I've had an idea." Jonesy said excitedly. "Why don't we have a memorial for Jo and Clancy tonight after work? We can hold it at the Imperial and it'll be a nice way to remember them."
"That's a nice idea." I replied. "If Jo was here, she would have loved the idea."
We got to the station a few minutes later and sprung Joss and Kelly kissing.
"Guys, get a room." Jonesy said cheekily. "Anyway aren't you meant to be working?"
"Sorry, Jonesy." Kelly said, turning red. "Sorry, Susie."
"That's okay." I answered. "Jonesy's just teasing. Aren't you, darling?"
"Yes of course." Jonesy said quickly. "I'm just teasing." We won't tell the Ben."
"Thanks, guys." Joss said gratefully and walked inside, Kelly Jonesy and I followed him inside.
Inside the station; Amy and Ben were already there and PJ and Mark wouldn't be here until twelve o'clock.
"Okay listen up everyone." Ben shouted. "Kelly, Susie you've got patrol. And Jonesy and Joss you two get to go and follow up a report of a disturbance. Okay?"
"Yes, boss." everyone said and went about their business.
That afternoon, Jonesy and I were sent to get the lunches.
"While, we're there we can ask Chris about holding the memorial." Jonesy said as we drove to the Imperial. "I'm suer Chrissy will agree. She was close to Jo and Clancy too."
"Okay." I agreed. "That'll be a good idea. I wonder how Emma and Joey are going."
"I'm sure their fine." Jonesy said reassuringly. "You have to stop worrying. Emma has been looking after Joey for three weeks and nothing has happen yet. You've asked that question everyday since you returned to work."
"It's just that I've already lost one Jo and I don't want to lose another." I replied sadly. "If anything happen to her I don't know what I would do."
"Nothing is going to happen." Jonesy said firmly. "Only you might go into overload by worrying so much."
"You're right." I said. "I should stop worrying about it. Nothing is going to happen. Anyway we're here."
Jonesy drove into an empty stop and we got out.
