One Month Later

"Are you sure of this?" The concern in her voice was evident.

"Well, no. But we have to tell them sometime, and there's no time like the present. So I guess yes." He was starting to pick up some of her worse habits.

"Ok, lets go and tell them before you're resolve wares off." With that, Jo took PJ's hand and the two of them left his room and headed down to the pub.
"Chris, a rum and coke for Jo, a lemonade for me and whatever everyone else's been having." PJ's generosity raised the curiosity of the Heelers.

"What's going on Peej? You seem extremely happy all of a sudden." Ben's Orange Juice had arrived in front of him, and he eyed it with slight disgust.

"What makes you think something's wrong Stewart? Can't a bloke buy drinks for him mates?"

"Well, you're not just any bloke. The only other times you've ever bought us all drinks you've had something up you're sleeves." Evan joined the conversation, stating what they all knew was true. "And you have NEVER bought us all drinks when you were on call."

"Ok, you've got me. Jo and I would like to make an announcement." All the Heelers' eyes were now focused on PJ. "We'd like to tell you all that we're dating..."

"And we thought you should know because it could affect you all." Jo finished his sentence for him, knowing that he wasn't going to get far.

"Well congrats guys!" Tess' response was sudden.

"You knew?" Evan was rather annoyed that she hadn't told him, even though no one had been inform to the reason for their sudden friendship.

"Of course. We girls have to stick together don't we Jo?"

"Yep." came the reply from the girl standing next to her bloke, grinning from ear to ear.

"I think this calls for a toast." Ben raised his glass. "To PJ and Jo, may you encounter no bumps in the road to happiness." there were murmurs of 'PJ and Jo's from all around.

"Congratulations Parish. You've gotten yourself a good bloke." Tom spoke for the first time, his face about to split from the huge smile that was on it, not just for the money he was sure he was going to get very soon.

"Was that a compliment Boss?"

"I do believe it was." Jo impulsively reached over and gave Tom a hug. "Thanks.........I think."

Jo went back to standing beside PJ, shooting Tess a meaningful look. Jo wasn't the only one who had shared a secret. Tess shot back death glare, but motioned Evan over to her anyway.

"What's wrong?" Jonsey was immediately worried by the fact that she had summoned him to her side.

"I think now would be a good time." She whispered to him. "Seeing as how they've already had one announcement."

"I knew there was a reason I loved you." He whispered back, before squaring his shoulders. He addressed the group: "Guys, I think there's something else you should know." A surprised look passed over the face of the others. "You know how Tess' pregnant?"

"Are you sure? I was wondering why I kept getting the early-morning shift." Ben's voice was dripping with sarcasm.

"Ha ha ha. Well, you see, the thing is... I don't know how to say this."

"What he's trying to say is...." Tess offered.

"Will someone please spit it out?" PJ was annoyed by all the stalling.

"What they're trying to say is that Josh isn't the father." Jo was rewarded by a thankful glance from Tess, a rather surprised look from Evan, and a gasp from the rest of them.

"Then who is?" PJ found his voice first.

"Isn't it obvious?" Jo was annoyed by the stupidity of her fellow officers to say the least.

"Oh my God, you were here that night Tess." Chris' sudden revelation had everyone even more puzzled.

"Of course! That's why Jones needed some personal time isn't it?" Tom caught on to the same train of thought that Chris was having.

"Will someone please explain what's going on?" PJ still looked very puzzled.

"I second that!" Obviously PJ wasn't alone in his little world of misunderstanding. He still had Ben's company.

"Do you want me to tell you, or do you need diagrams and a dictionary?" Jo was bursting from the secret she had held for the longest month in her life.

"I'm the father." Jonesy had come to the end of his tether with the whole group.
A stunned silence could be found around PJ and Ben for the next half hour.

"Father... Jonesy..... Father.... Tess... Jonesy...Father.... Pregnant .... Couple..."

"Welcome back to the land of the living Hasham." Tom had taken the whole spectacle with a pinch of salt. The scene of two grown men unable to form coherent sentences was rather amusing. "Hope you enjoy your stay with us."

"You Bastard!!!" Josh ran across the room to Evan.

"Oh yay. I can't wait to see how this one ends." The sarcasm was dripping from Jo's voice as she got up to try and knock some sense into the two fighting men. "A hand boss?"

With a groan Tom got up from his rather uncomfortable seat to cross the room after Jo to where Josh was still yelling at Jones. "Who was the idiot who told him tonight?"

"I think Tess was feeling pretty crappy about how Peej and Ben took it, so she thought that telling Josh tonight wouldn't make the day much worse and she could get it all done in one day." Jo arrived next to the two blokes. "Ok fellas, nice to see you Josh, I know you're upset, but can you please leave my colleague here alone?"

"Too right I'm upset. He slept with my wife." Josh all but spat at Evan. "And got her pregnant."

"At least she was faithful until AFTER the marriage broke up." Evan spat back.

"I'd take that as a no if I was you Parrish." Tom was still into seeing the funny side of things tonight.

"This is going to be a long night Boss." Jo glanced over to where the bumbling fools stood, "We've still got the task of taking Ben and Peej home to look forward to."

"Chrissie, do you have a couple of rooms that you could spare for these two?"

"Yeah, sure Tom." Chris looked at her book. "Four and seven are free."

"Ok, you take care of the bumbling fools, and I'll see what I can do with these two."

ok guys, thats it. I've done my bit, now can you PLEASE do yours? I need more ideas because I'm really running out of ideas.
