Counselling

Kirsty waited for Kane to come home from counselling. He came home his eyes bright and he ran to Kirsty and spun her around and pulled a bouquet of a dozen long-stemmed red roses from behind his back. "My wife…with love," he said giddily kissing her again.

"Did counselling go well?" Kirsty laughed her eyes ablaze with love.

"Amazingly well," he confided. "I began working through some childhood problems today and we're going to keep on delving into my past until I'm cured!" he said loosely.

"Cured?" Kirsty asked doubtfully.

"Well not cured, but no longer carry all this resentment," Kane offered tentatively. Kirsty smiled her eyes shining. "Come on…let's celebrate!" she said dragging him into the bedroom. Kane's eyes registered shock as he saw newborn infant's clothing on the bed. "Not what you were expecting huh?" she asked dryly.

"No…but this is just as good," he lied stifling his excitement a little by sitting down and concentrating on what Colleen had been wearing that morning. That did the trick. He calmed down and picked up a tiny pink jumpsuit with buttons running down the front. "Pink? Are you sure it's a girl?" Kane asked doubtfully.

"Well I have some news," Kirsty said. "I went and had another sonagram today…and there is a boy and a girl! We're having twins!" Kirsty exclaimed deliriously happy.

"Oh wow! We're such LEGENDS!" Kane said picking Kirsty up and kissing her passionately on her soft lips. "We're amazing!" Kirsty agreed her eyes brimming with tears. "I'm going to be a mum!" she exclaimed. "I'm going to be a dad!" Kane whooped then he sobered. "If I'm not convicted," he said heavily. "Don't worry, babe. They'll find Gus before the inquest starts," Kirsty promised her eyes full of love and determination. "I hope so. He's good at covering his ass," Kane said heavily his spirits as deflated as his earlier excitement. He felt limp.

Gus had been the source of a great deal of pain in Kane's traumatic past and he had made a sensational debut in his responsible hardworking life. He shook his head in dismay. At that moment Kane's mobile rang. They both looked at the caller. Gus.

Kirsty squeezed Kane's hand as he reached to answer it. "Wanker," he said flatly.

"Son, I'm so sorry! I can't turn myself in. I can't go back to jail!" Gus said unaware that Kirsty began recording the conversation by plugging the radio into Kane's phone and pressing RECORD. "Look…GUS, I'm not going down for your crime. You did the burg not me. I want you to confess," Kane said helplessly.

"I can't Kane. I'm so sorry. Look they won't put you away. They have no witnesses," Gus said hopefully. "Yes they do. They have your associate," Kane said tears springing to his eyes.

"What?" Gus moaned.

"Yes. I also have a criminal record," Kane said. "Who are they going to believe?" he demanded.

"Not you. Look they'll put you away for a few months. You'll be out and you can just resume your life," Gus said wildly.

"No way! I'm not going to jail! Kirsty is having twins! How can you leave me in this predicament with my pregnant wife?" he yelled. "You're a bastard and I hate you!" Kane screamed just as Irene entered the house. "God save us," Irene mumbled.

"Get in the car," Kirsty scrawled on a piece of paper. Kane nodded and still on the phone waited while Kirsty got the car started. Kane climbed in still keeping Gus talking as they sped to the police station to hand in the recorded tape and get Gus's location. "You can't do this to me, after everything you've done before!" Kane said plaintively.

"I'm sorry! I owe too much inside. You won't get a hard time. You'll be released on bail after six months. Kirsty will just be in the very late stages of her pregnancy. I'm sorry, son." He said heavily. "Where are you?" Kane pressed.

"I can't say," Gus said.

"Why haven't you been picking up when I've tried calling you?" Kane asked.

"I'm sorry," Gus said again. "I know you were just at the police station," he said wearily.

"Kirsty has been through so much, she's had one miscarriage what do you think will happen if I go away? She needs me. I need her. I need to support her and care for her. You've sent me into counselling you stupid bastard!" Kane said forcefully.

They pulled up at the police station. Kane ran inside while Kirsty locked the car. "He's on the phone! We've recorded the conversation!" he said to Peter Baker. Gus panicked.

"What? What?" Gus exclaimed. Peter quickly grabbed the phone and did a trace on it just before Gus hung up the phone. The beeping was all that was heard in the still interrogation room. "We got a trace!" Peter said.
