Get your tissues at the ready guys!

"What do you mean there was no baby Kerry?" He said quietly, yet the words flowed out of his mouth with ease,

"I said there was no baby Smithy, I wasn't pregnant" she said upset yet appearing to grit her teeth.

"But you said, you said that you were, I remember" he said stuttering slightly due to the shock.

"No, I said I think I'm pregnant. I'm sorry Smithy I need my rest can you go," she said with her eyes clouded.

Smithy stood there, his frame rigid, breathing in he spoke,

"But Kerry" placing his hand on hers again,

"I said go," she shouted swotting his hand off.

Aware of the commotion a nurse appeared from the other side of the ward; stern in appearance she looked Smithy straight in the eye,

"Miss Young needs her rest sir could you please leave" She said sarcastically,

Smithy had no reaction to what she had said instead he looked back at Kerry who wiped the tears from her pale face.

"Now" she said pressing the matter further until he left the ward.

The nurse tugged at the bottom of her dress and stepped over to Kerry's bed side,

"Is there anyone you'd like me to contact for you?" she asked,

Kerry just shook her head not saying a word, not even making eye contact instead she looked through the pane of glass in the door. She hoped that he was still out there but she secretly knew that that wasn't the case.

"Are you sure there isn't anyone I can call, a relative or a friend?" she said sympathetically.

"No there's no one. The only family I've got is my dad but were not really talking at the moment." She finally said.

Inhaling the nurse replied,

"But he's your dad, wouldn't he want to know?"

"You don't understand he'd just say that it was my fault and that I deserved it," she cried,

"No one deserves this sweetheart, not at your age, your still young" she stressed.

Smithy sat at his desk holding his head in his hands, walking past Gina noticed his figure through the glass.

Peeking her head round the door she smiled and invited herself in,

"How's Kerry doing?" she asked,

"Like you care" he spat,

"Whoa I was only asking Smithy" She replied,

"To be honest I didn't stay that long before she got me chucked out and frankly I don't care at the moment. Now can you just leave me in peace."

…….

Holding onto her hat Gina asked the receptionist what ward Kerry was on, once she had a reply she marched down the corridor.

The young woman was sitting up flicking aimlessly through a glossy magazine when Gina walked over; she coughed to notify her presence. Kerry looked up to see her there, a face like thunder and eyebrows raised.

"What" Kerry stated,

"Charming, now I know how Smithy felt" The older woman replied,

"If you're here to moan at me don't bother just go back to your poxy office" She moaned looking at her magazine. She knew that neither she nor Smithy deserved to be treated like that but she couldn't help it, the aggression was taking over and she couldn't stop it.

Putting her hat down and smoothing the bed cover over Gina sat opposite Kerry looking into her eyes. They were dark and withdrawn, although they appeared to be looking down at the magazine Gina knew that Kerry was watching her every move.

"Smithy really cares about you Kerry, that was no way to treat him you know he deserves better," Gina said in a softer voice.

"Don't you think I know that Gina I'm no good for him, besides he wont want to be with me anyway. This way I'll let him down gently," she said while her eyes started to well up again.

"Yeah and break his heart in the process. Why did you snap at him Kerry and send him away, the poor bloke had just lost his baby he needs to grieve"

" Grieve, more like wrap me up in cotton wool it makes me feel sick, besides there was no baby," she added.

" What do you mean there wasn't a baby he told me" Gina said in a confused tone,

"Just like he told everyone else I bet, anyway it was a false alarm. Im not pregnant and im fine" she stated while reaching over to grab a tissue,

"You and I both know that's not true, you may have forgotten that I knew you very well a few years ago I knew exactly what you wanted in life and to be loved was certainly one of them. You have this man that loves you more than anything in the world and you give him the cold shoulder, even Honey can work out that that's not right." Gina seemed caring and concerned for Kerry and her eyes were deep in thought.

For a brief moment Kerry smiled but then as her words began to flow the seriousness of the situation came to light.

"Yeah your right, I would have given anything to have had a man like Smithy a year ago I still would now but I can't break his heart again Gina. You don't understand I love him like mad, I love him too much, that's why I can't let him love me back." She whispered,

"I think it's a bit late for that he's head over heels in love with you Kerry. What's made you change your mind about loving him?" she asked praying Kerry would give a legitimate answer.

"I don't want him to love me than suddenly lose me, I don't want to see him hurt Gina. Can I ask you something?" she asked the older woman,

"Yeah as long as it's not too deep, you know me I don't do emotions," she laughed trying to rid the conversation of the sombre mood that hung.

She tried to talk but her words wouldn't come out, Smithy was right for once although bottling things up was her way of dealing with things it certainly didn't help. Taking a deep breath she looked Gina in the eyes,

"When you found out you had cancer how did you feel, did you feel like you just wanted someone to be there for you and tell you that you were going to be ok or am I just being stupid" She murmured wiping her eyes with her hand.

"Oh Kerry you haven't" Gina said shocked and scared for this young woman,

She couldn't say a word; instead she nodded at the woman and dissolved into tears. Holding the young woman's tiny frame she held her tight.

Sorry for the depressing ending but the story does get happier trust me! Please r+r!
