Chapter 3

Sunhill Police Station

I sat on the steps at the front of the station until I saw his patrol car come cruising round the corner and into the yard at the back of the station. I stood up, telling myself that everything would be alright, and walked across the pavement and into the yard. Hollie climbed out of one side of the car, and he climbed out of the other, they were both laughing with each other. Smithy was standing in the yard too, his arms folded across his chest. Callum was next to him and I could tell he was watching me, to see who I cornered.

In the end I chickened out, I couldn't do it in front of everyone. Instead I turned around and walked back the way I came and sat back down on the steps. I reached into my pocket and pulled out my mobile phone. Sending a text was the coward's way out, but I didn't have the guts to do it all face to face, but even I had the decency to tell him the big stuff to his face. So I sent him a text asking him to meet me once he changed out of his uniform. I didn't have long to wait before he sent me a text back, asking me to meet him outside of the changing rooms, which, coincidentally, wasn't far from my mother's office. Great, I thought to myself.

I pulled myself to my feet, and walked back into the station. I keyed the access code into the pad and pushed the door open. Slowly I walked through the station, biting my nails nervously. When I got to the changing rooms Nate was already standing there waiting for me. He smiled at me a little, and I knew straight off that he knew what I was going to tell him, he just needed my confirmation. He wasn't laughing like he was with Hollie earlier.

"Can we go somewhere more private?" I asked him.

"Course" he replied, leading me towards the briefing room.

He poked his head inside and when he saw that nobody was in the room, walked in. He sat down on one of the chairs and I sat down a chair away from him.

"The baby's mine then?" Nate asked.

"Yep, I've not been with anyone else, you're the only possible father, Nate" I explained.

Nate was quiet, and I could see how he was churning up all this information in his head. I let him have his time for a moment before rushing in to the next part of my explanation.

"I'm keeping the baby, Nate" I told him.

He nodded.

"That's what Hollie said when I asked her" Nate said, quickly at my look of horror he added: "don't worry I didn't tell her about…that night…or anything"

"Good, I want to tell her myself"

We were quiet again.

"Look, Nate. I don't expect anything from you. You can be as involved as you want with this baby, if you want to be a part of its life then that's fine by me, if you don't, well, that's your choice"

"I don't know what I want, Casey. I didn't plan for this to happen, you know" he said bitterly.

I shot up from my seat and glared at him, pointing my finger accusingly in his direction.

"Oh and you think I did? I didn't ask for this, Nate! It was an accident, that's all. It wasn't either of our faults, we were just unlucky, these things aren't one hundred percent! But that doesn't matter now, Nate. What matters is I'm pregnant, and you need to decide whether or not you're going to be a dad to this baby. I'm not asking for an answer now, but I do need an answer" I rushed "look, I'm going to go find my mum. I'll see you tomorrow, Nate".

I strode out of the briefing room, leaving Nate to think over all that I told him. I did feel sorry for the guy. He was a ladies man, a bachelor; he didn't want to be weighed down by a baby. But maybe he would step up and be a dad to my baby, maybe. As I turned the corner I bumped into Callum, again.

"Sorry" I sighed "I wasn't watching where I was going"

Callum smiled at me, "other things on your mind?"

"You could say that" I laughed bitterly.

He was out of his uniform now, wearing jeans and a shirt. It was a nice look for him. I tried not to smile at his attractiveness. It really wasn't appropriate for my current predicament.

"So, you told the dad?" Callum asked.

"Straight to the point, aren't you?" I muttered.

"Is there any other way to be?" he laughed.

"Yes" I sighed "I did"

"And? How did he take it?"

I shrugged, "ok I guess, I've left him in the briefing room to think things over. It's a big thing for him"

"It's a big thing for you too" Callum said, smiling softly.

"Yes" I agreed "it is. But I've sort of come to terms with it, sort of. I mean I'm still freaking out about it, but I know that I'm keeping the baby. Now that I've made the hardest decision I just have to worry about everything else "

"So, are you going to tell me who he is?" Callum finally asked.

I blushed deeply, looking down at the floor.

"Nate" I squeaked.

"Who? I didn't understand that"

"Nate" I said a little more clearly, still looking ashamedly down at the floor.

"Nate?"

"Yeah"

"You slept with Nate" he repeated.

"Well, Callum, that is how you make a baby"

Callum shook his head. My mum came around the corner with Jack.

"Casey! Come on we're going home" Mum shouted.

"Bye, Callum" I muttered and rushed off, thankful that I was going to avoid any further embarrassment.

I raced away and glanced back over my shoulder before I turned the corner. Callum was striding off towards the briefing room. For some reason I felt funny, like I knew something was going to happen.

"Casey, are you coming?" my mum said.

"Yes, mum, I'm coming" I replied and followed her and Jack out of the building.
