All that I need, all that I don't

Chapter Three

Phil was sat in the cell with his head in his hands. 'Why had he done that? How could he be so stupid?' He stood up and in his temper punched the cell wall. Just then the heavy metal door swung open and there stood the DCI. "How is he?" He asked anxiously, regaining control and sitting back down.

"They've managed to stabilise him…three broken ribs and a fractured lung…"Jack Meadows reported. "He's still out cold but he's going to be fine…what the hell were you thinking Phil?"

Phil shrugged. He did know what his reasons for attacking Stuart were, but he knew the DCI wouldn't see things his way. "I don't know…"

"I need your version of this afternoon's events." Jack began.

Phil nodded, "Sam went home earlier today…she didn't feel well." He said, "Anyway I went round there after my shift. She was in a bit of a state. We sat and talked for a while, she told me he'd finished with Stuart!" He recounted.

"I see…" Jack answered slowly. "Then what happened?"

"Well the bell rang and I went to answer it… Sam stayed inside… it was him."

"Stuart?" The DCI checked.

Phil nodded, "yeah Stuart… we started arguing…"

"What was the argument about?"

Phil shrugged. "Sam… the baby…"

"What baby?" The DCI cut in again.

"Sam's baby!" Phil said without thinking.

"You mean Sam's pregnant?"

"Was pregnant." Phil corrected hollowly, that's why she went home earlier… that's why she didn't feel well… she was having a miscarriage."

"Oh right!" Jack shook his head. "All the things that went on in CID and he was none the wiser.

"Anyway…" Phil said, bringing the conversation back to the case.

"Yes." Said Jack, "so is that all you were arguing about? Sam and the baby?"

Phil shook his head. "No…" He hesitated. "Is all this really relevant!" He said, even though he knew it was.

Jack folded his arms. "Sorry Phil, you know I have to ask."

"We were arguing about how good a father he'd make." He answered, his eyes focussing on the tiles as he spoke.

"Okay so…" Jack began.

"Then he told me a few home truths, I got mad and started kicking him, that's all you need to know!" Phil admitted.

"You're admitting it?" The DCI said.

"Well yeah, I mean there's no point in denying it…he'll tell you all this anyway… I'm just making things a bit easier." Phil replied.

"Okay…good…now you'll get bailed after I've interviewed Stuart…"

"Gov?" Honey interrupted.

"Something you wanted, PC Harman?" Jack asked.

"We've just had a call from St Hughes… DS Turner's fit for interview now." She finished.

Jack nodded. "Thanks Honey!"

At St Hughes, when Jack was directed to Stuart's ward he was surprised to see Sam standing outside the door. "Hi," he said. "What are you doing here?"

Sam shrugged, "I was just leaving actually, I waited to see if he was okay. How's Phil doing?"

"He's okay, he's practically beating himself up for kicking off like that though."

"What did he say in the interview? Did he…?" Sam left her question unasked. She absentmindedly rested a hand on her stomach.

Jack noticed this. "Phil told me about the baby Sam…" He said gently. Her eyes misted over and he hugged her. "I'm so sorry!"

Sam nodded, "thank you!" She didn't know how else to respond. What else could she say? She walked off holding back tears.

Jack watched her go and then walked into Stuart's ward. Stuart opened his eyes and sat up. "Hello Guv!"

Jack nodded. "Stuart!" He acknowledged him. "How are you?"

"I'm fine thanks, the doctors say I can go home tomorrow, they're keeping me in overnight just to be on the safe side."

"Oh right, okay!" Jack said. "Now I'm here about your statement, if you feel up to it you can do it now or…"

"I want to press charges!" Stuart interrupted smoothly.
