Part 24

Paul gets up and runs back to Irene's house. He knew what he had to do. He got into his Hummer. Sat there for like a minute turned the engine on.

Inside Trish heard Paul's Hummer. She went to the window and looked out.

Paul looked at the window and he saw Trish. He waved at her and reversed out of the driveway.

Paul wanted to tell Trish how he felt but he had to sort out his problems first.

**********************************

Jeff and Steph were at Steph's hotel room. "Are you really pregnant?"

Steph looked at Jeff and smiled again. "Well, are you?" Jeff said getting annoyed.

"Do I look pregnant to you?"

"This is your plan. How are you going to make this work. And how do I fit in this? How will I get Trish?"

"Paul always wanted a family and well I know he will come running to me. He will forgive me. And as for you ,Trish will feel rejected and she will need a shoulder to cry on and you can be that shoulder." Jeff looked at her. " But what will happen when Paul finds out your not pregnant?"

"I will deal with it when it happens."

Jeff looks at his watch , " Well I better go now before Amy and Matt get suspicious." Jeff said and turned and left Stephs hotel room.

*********************************

Paul drove into his driveway and parked his Hummer in his huge garage. He went upstairs and into his kitchen. He turned the light on and got something to eat. He went to the lounge room and sat down. He started to eat his sandwich but he wasn't really hungry. He had too much on his mind. He shouldn't of left Trish and her family like he did but he had to get away. Paul sat there for hours thinking , then he knew he had too meet Steph and see what she had to say first.Then he picked his cell phone up.He wanted to call Trish. Paul looked at his phone and saw her name. He pushed the call button and then he hung up. Paul had a good day with Trish. He got up and went to the liquor cupboard and got out a bottle of whiskey . Paul drank half a bottle and then he passed out.

*******************************************

The next day Trish got up early . So she decided to go for a jog. She decided to stay in the bay over night , since her ride left early. She didn't know why Paul didn't want to talk to her. But Trish liked to keep into shape. So after her jog she went to the gym and then went back to Irene's.

"Hi Hayley would you be able to give me a lift home?" Trish asked.

"Of course I will."

"Thanx Hayls."

****************************************************

Paul got up with a hang over. He didn't feel well. He looked at the time and it said 11.50.

So Paul showered and dressed and then went to the cafe to meet Steph.

When he got there it was 12.15.Steph looked at her watch and she looked back to the front and she saw him. It worked , she thought. Paul walked over to Steph. "On time as always." Steph said sarcastically.

"I slept in. Give me a break." Paul sat down.He stare at Steph and then his eyes looked down to her stomach. "So how far are you?"

Steph put her hand on her stomach and said, " I'm 3 weeks."

"Then why didn't you tell me sooner?" Paul said with a concern look on his face.

"I just found out myself. And even if I did know earlier would you listern? No."

Paul stared at her.He didn't know what to say.He started to play with his napkin.

" Does your family know?" Paul said.

"Not yet. Daddy's been very busy and so is Mum and Shane and Marissa."

"Oh." The waiter brought over Steph's cappuccino. "Sir what would you like?"

"Scotch." Paul said under his breath.

"What was that sir?" The waiter asked.

"Ah. Nothing thanx." The waiter left. Steph took a sip of her cappuccino.

"What not hungry?"Steph joked. Paul knew something was not right but couldn't put his finger on it.

"So what are we going to do?" Steph asked as she took another sip.

"I don't know. Give me time to think." Paul said as he got up. Paul had to speak to someone. He wanted to speak to Trish but he couldn't. Not yet.

"Where are you going Paul."

"Out of here."

"Are you going home or to the gym or the hotel?"

"If you must know I'm going to visit Michael." Paul said.

"Can you give me a lift back to the hotel?"

"Yeah." Paul walked out of the cafe and Steph followed.

****************************************************

Trish walks into the lobby of the hotel.She drops one of her bags and she turns and goes to pick it up , when she see's that Jeff has it in his hands.

"You need a hand?" Jeef asked.

"Yeah I do. Thanx Jeff." Trish hands Jeff her 2 bags. They walk to Trish's room.Inside Jeff puts Trish's bags down and sits on her sofa. Trish opens her bag and looks through it.

"So how was Summer bay?"

"Huh?" Trish turned and faced Jeff.

"How's the bay?" Jeff asked again.

"It was okay. Good to see my family." Trish walks to the door." I'm going to get some lunch."

Jeff gets up.They walk out the room and down to the lobby.

Just then Paul and Steph walk in. Jeff spotted them straight away. "When did Steph and Paul get back together?"
