Sheelagh turned round in floods of tears and just collapsed in to Des's arms.
"It's alright now. I'm here. Remind me never to get on the wrong side of you." Joked Des
"Thank you." Cried Sheelagh. They kissed.
"I love you"
"I love you too"
"thanks for that dad"
"Don't worry. It'll be alright now darlin. He's not coming back and if he does he'll answer to me." Reassured Des's father.
"Thank you. I am really grateful." repeated Sheelagh
"And I'm sorry about that time on the boat. Everybody knew that the best way to get at Murphy was through his bird." Apoligised Des's dad.
"There's no serious damage. Actually you didn't even touch me." Sheelagh pointed out.
"Like I said you have to respect women"
"Yeah you do and I want you to know that I'll never ever, ever hurt you Sheelagh. ever!" Hugged Des
"You promise?" asked Sheelagh
"Yes. Do you wanna go home?." Sheelagh thought for a second.
"No, actually we should stay and celebrate"
"Celebrate what"
"You coming second and me finally getting a divorce." Laughed Sheelagh. The music started again everyone was shocked at what had just happened. Des taviner (station womaniser) had just kissed sheelagh Murphy (station goody) and they were now going out with each other.
"Now I didn't see that coming." Said Honey a bit shocked
"Nah me neither." Agreed Kerry. About a hour later the dancing had started all again like normal and the booze was flowing heavily.
"You ready to come home now baby?" Asked Des
"Yes look at the state of the kids there shattered." Analysed Sheelagh
"well it hasn't been the quietist of nights for them as it." Des argued "oh I suppose so. Do you think they'll be alright? I ruined their life haven't I?" Said Sheelagh becoming upset again.
"no don't you ever say that. I think that you have just gave them a life and personally by little comments the kids have made I think they wanted this to happen." Reassured Des
"You sure"
"Yes now come here." Des grabbed hold of Sheelagh and kissed her passionately. Sheelagh signalled to the kids and they got up and left the station they got outside and Sheelagh suddenly stopped. Nearly wrenching Des's shoulder out cause they were holding hands.
"Whats wrong?" Shouted Des pulling his arm back into place
"when you say go home, were is home"
"where ever you want it to be"
"Can we go to our house?" yawned Declan
"that's fine by me." answered Des
"you sure." checked Sheelagh
"I'll stay any where Shee as long as I'm with you four." Smiled Des. They kissed again.
"urrrr, Can't you wait till we've gone to bed?" joked Connor pretending to throw up.
"I don't know your mum is a bit hard to resist in that outfit." Admitted Des
"We don't want to know what you to are gonna get up to dad… opps I mean Des." Claimed Declan
"Call me dad if you want to I don't mind." Said Des
"You sure?" Questioned Siobhan
"Course I am"
"Alright then dad, I'll race you to that lamp post." Shouted Declan excitedly. Des and Declan run off down the street.
"I really like Des mum. And I am so happy you've finally met someone who'll take care of you." Connor smiled
"Me too, you know I know he was my dad and everything and this is gonna sound really awful but I never liked him." Blushed Siobhan dipping her head.
"I didn't ever." Agreed Sheelagh
"What? But you married him." Laughed Connor in disbeleif
"I had no choice he said if I didn't marry him he'd kill me and my family." Informed Sheelagh. Connor put an arm round his mums shoulders.
"well Patrick is behind us now. We don't need to talk about him any more, now it's just you, me, Siobhan, dec and des." Connor said hugging her tight. They walked home and went to bed.
