Chapter 16- Good News

Phil went back to work about half an hour later, leaving Sam to get some much-needed rest. Everyone noticed the momentous change in Phil's mood when he came back. 'His moods changed,' Jo remarked when Phil came through the double doors of CID. 'How's Sam?'

'She's getting better thanks Jo,' Phil replied as he went over to Francesca.

'Can I have a word Francesca?' Phil asked.

'Yeah sure,' Francesca replied as she put down the case files she'd just picked up.

'Not in here,' Phil said, pointing towards CID's briefing room.

Francesca followed Phil into CID's briefing room and closed the door. 'What is this about Phil?' she asked.

'Sam's asked me to tell you because she thinks that you deserve to know…' Phil started.

'I deserve to know what?' Francesca asked.

'She's pregnant,' Phil replied.

'Congratulations, Phil,'

'It's good news for you too, your gonna be an Auntie,'

'Don't say that, you're making me feel really old,'

'You're not that old,'

'I just want to do right by yours and Sam's baby. I wasn't much of an Auntie to Abi. I was only 17 when Sam had Abi and went off Uni two years later, I wasn't there for Abi when she was growing up. I'll be there for this baby, no matter what it takes,'

'Good because the wedding and this baby is going to make us 1 big happy family,' Phil replied.

'Even with our past history?' Francesca asked.

'Our 'past history' as you put it isn't going to destroy mine and Sam's happiness. She doesn't need to know about us. The only thing you'll succeed in doing then is breaking your sister's heart. Do you really want to be responsible for breaking Sam's heart?'

'No, course I don't. I love my sister just as much as you do. If it was anyone else, then I'd say something but as it's my sister…it'll stay buried. I just wanted to make sure you knew where you stood,'

'Good, now I know are you going to congratulate me properly?'

Francesca walked towards Phil and hugged him. This was the first time she'd stopped thinking of Phil as a former conquest. She was thinking of him an ordinary bloke. The bloke her sister had chosen to be with. Sam had chosen to be with Phil above everyone else. They were meant to be together and Francesca knew it.

Phil finished work at about 5:30 and went straight home to Sam. Phil unlocked the door, 'Hi babe,' Sam called from the kitchen.

Phil followed the sound of Sam's voice and entered the kitchen. 'Good day?' Sam inquired.

'It's just got a lot better,' Phil replied.

They had some dinner and sat curled up on the sofa watching something on TV. Francesca came back at about 8:00. 'Not seeing Dan tonight are you?' Sam asked when Francesca entered the living room,

'Nah, I thought I'd come and see my sister. Phil told me,' Francesca replied.

'Are you pleased?'

'Pleased? I'm over the moon, congratulations sis,' Francesca said and she went over to Sam and gave her a hug.

'There's some dinner left in the oven if you want any,' Phil said.

'Nah that's fine, Dan cooked something for me,' Francesca replied.

'He can cook?!?' Sam asked.

'He's a better cook than Phil,' Francesca remarked.

'Oooh that's harsh,' Sam replied.

Francesca sat down on the armchair and picked up a bag of marshmallows that were lying on the mantelpiece. 'Anyone want some?' she asked.

'Nah you're alright,' Phil replied.

'Yeah go on then, pass us the bag,' Sam said.

Francesca passed Sam the bag and she sat there eating her way through the contents of the bag. Francesca decided to go up to bed at about 10:00 and Sam and Phil followed soon after. Phil placed his arms protectively around Sam's stomach before slowly going off to sleep.
