Jeff tried to take it all in. He looked at Ryder. An angry look came across his face. "Her name's phoenix" Jeff stood up and paced the room.

"Why didn't you tell me this?" He said coldly.

"Because I didn't find out until I got back to England"

"You still could have told me!" He shouted. Ryder was getting pissed off by now and shouted at him.

"Well I didn't because you were to busy with torrie!!" She screamed.

"Well at least I wasn't screwing rob!" Jeff shouted. Ryder slapped him round the face and left the room.

Ryder stormed downstairs and was about to leave when matt stopped her. She gave him an evil glare as he stopped her. "Is it true?"

"About what!?" She snapped.

"The kid" Ryder nodded. Ryder went through her purse and pulled out a picture and handed it to matt. Matt looked at it and smiled.

"Her full name is 'phoenix anna hardy'" Ryder said proudly. As they talked they didn't realise Jeff sitting at the top of the stairs, silently crying. The more he heard the harder he cried. Ryder soon left and Jeff was back in his room when matt knocked on the door. "Bro, I'm going shopping, you want to come?" Jeff shook his head. Matt closed the door and left. She could have told me! I shouldn't have let her go now I've lost her forever.

Jeff walked downstairs and went to the knife drawer. He was about to place the knife to his skin when he noticed a picture on the counter. He put down the knife and pick up the picture. He looked at it, a beautiful baby, green eyes and the hardy nose with Ryder's beautiful dark hair. Jeff started to cry and dropped to the floor. When matt got home he heard crying and went to the kitchen, where he saw Jeff sitting with his knees to his chest. Matt noticed that Jeff had the photo in his hand. Matt knelt down and placed a hand on his brother's shoulder. Jeff looked up and hugged matt. "Help me matt" he cried as matt hugged him tightly. "You know I will" matt said softly.


A week later and Ryder was packing up to go back to England when there was a knock on the door. When she opened the door and came face to face with Jeff. "Hi" he mumbled. She let him in and closed the door.

"Why are you here?" She said calmly. He looked at her and sighed. He was about to say something when phoenix started crying. Ryder went to her and picked her up. "Shh, calm down" she said soothingly. Jeff looked at Ryder and saw how tired and stressed she looked.

"Can I....can I try?" Jeff asked like a little child. She smiled and handed phoenix to him. "Hey, daddy's here now and I will be forever" Ryder watched them. Jeff was holding phoenix like she was as fragile as china. Jeff soon calmed phoenix down.

"Wow, that's a first, she's usually crying for ages must be that father's touch" Ryder said softly.

"I tried to kill myself again" Jeff said. Ryder looked at Jeff. "After our fight, but I saw the photo, she saved me" Jeff whispered as he started to cry softly. Ryder sat next to Jeff and looked him in the eyes.

"Please don't try again, we love you to much" she whispered as she was inches from his face.

"We?" Jeff questioned. Ryder realised what she had said.

"Yer um, matt and the others" she recovered.

"Oh" Celeste then came in with Shane.

"Hey sis" Celeste said happily. Shane went over and sat next to Jeff.

"Hey jeffro, nice to see you out and about" Jeff glared at Shane for that comment. "Oh I'm sorry, I didn't mean" Shane shut up before he dug himself any deeper.

"Celeste why're you so happy?" Ryder questioned.

"Just am, there's nothing wrong with just being happy"

"Oh my god! You've been getting freaky with Shane"

"Maybe" Celeste mumbled.

Meanwhile: "Nice kid"

"She's a baby, not a kid" Jeff stated as they watched phoenix sleeping in her cot.

"Whose is she? She not Celeste's is she?" Shane asked getting worried.

"No, she is not Celeste's" Jeff sighed. Shane then cocked his head and studied phoenix's features.

"Holy shit! She's yours!"
