Chapter Nine- It Ment Nothing
Stevie woke to a small empty room, she could hear beeping and feel the tubes coming out of her body. She sat up slightly as the door opened "Your awake?" The voice smiled. Stevie smiled weakly back to Jo "What happened?" She sighed "Where is Smithy?"
Jo smiled softly "You fell down the stairs, you gave us all a fright!" Stevie moved her hand to her bump and glanced to Jo "Its fine.. the baby is fine" Stevie sighed "Thank god" she smiled and glanced to the door "Where is Smithy?" Jo took Stevies hand and smiled "Where is he Jo?" Jo looked down and squeezed Stevies hand "Im sorry he doesnt want to see you, he came in the ambulance with you, but once the doctors said you and the baby would be ok... he left" Stevie shook her head and blinked back the tears in her eyes "I didnt do anything wrong... Callum kissed me... I think he was just trying to comfort me, it ment nothing" Jo looked at Stevie "He loves you... Smithy he adores you" Stevie wiped her tears away "Can you find him Jo? I need to explain" she asked. Jo shook her head "I dont know if I can get involved in your guys relationship" She watched as tears fell from her eyes, her hand running over her bump. She smiled "Ok, Ill see what I can do... but no promises Stevie."
She stood up and made her way to the door. Stevie nodded "Thank you Jo".
Smithy sat alone in his office, he's whole life falling apart infront of him, he watched as Callum walked along the corridor outside, he pushed up from his chair and marched outside "Oi" Callum spun round as Smithy pushed him against the coffee machine. "Listen to me Smithy" Callum begun as Smithy punched him, Callum fell to the ground. "Gov" Leon shouted as he and Nate ran to Smithys side and pulled him away. "What is it Stone, cant you pull your own bird" Smithy shouted "So you thought you'd nick mine!" Leon and Nate both glared at Callum as they pulled Smithy further away. Nate moved towards Callum "You and DS Moss" he growled at him. Callum shook his head "Its not like that! Smithy I swear to you it was just one kiss" Nate lent over Callum "You deserve what ever he would of done to you but your... your just not worth the effort... Serge" Smithy pulled from Leons clutchs, "It was you who told me to make a go of it with Stevie, I told you I couldnt handle to lose her" he paused "And it was you who took her away!" Jo approached the men from behind and raised a hand to Smithys side "Come on Gov, lets get you a drink" she smiled. Smithy turned to face her "Yeah" he sighed, as he turned round and glared at Callum, "I know we've had our problems Stone... but i thought we were friends... she was my girlfriend Callum!" he shouted before following Jo down the corridor.
Jo placed the beer on the table infront of Smithy, she could see the anger in his eyes, it made her feel nervous, she didnt know what he was capable of, especially when it came to Stevie, she had heard the romours of Jason Develins attack. She smiled at him, calmly trying to think of the words to not anger him more. "Stevie wants to see you Smithy" he shook his head, taking a sip from his drink "She loves you, she wouldnt look twice at Stone" Smithy refused to comment. "She is carrying your baby Smithy" He inturupted "So she says" he stated before turning his attention back to his beer. Jo smiled "Look at me Smithy..." he glanced up "She loves you, she needs you... the kiss ment nothing to her, Stone means nothing to her" Jo put her drink on the table "I know she has hurt you Smithy, but deep down you know I am right... that baby is yours" She lent accross the table "I have heard you call her the one... many time, you cant just give up on her" Smithy picked up his drink, taking a final sip before placing it half full back on the table. "That doesnt mean I am the one to her" he sighed. Jo nodded her head "You know you..." Smithy stood up "Dont Jo" he inturupted "Thanks for the drink" he pulled his black hood over his head and left.
Smithy arrived home, as he put the key in the door he sighed, when he had left this morning he had everything, he was going to marry the woman he loved and they were having a baby together. Returning home he had nothing. He walked into the sitting room and flicked the light on. He saw the life he and Stevie had built, the photos of them arm in arm, the wedding magazines spread out on a coffee table, they hadnt set a date yet but Stevie kept leaving hints she didnt want to wait long. He moved over to the corner of the room and pulled a bottle of whiskey and a glass out of a cupboard and poured himself a drink. He looked into the large mirror on the wall, he could see the anger in his own face. He removed a small photo tucked into the side of the mirror, he glanced down at the fuzzy black and white picture. He smashed his glass to the wooden floor as he held the scan picture in his hands. He turned as he heard the key in the door and watched as Stevies small figure appeared in front of him. She smiled slightly "I have just come to get some stuff I'll go to a b&b tonight" Smithy looked at her, almost through her, he shook his head "We need to talk". Stevie moved slowley to the sofa and gestured for him to sit with her, he turned away. She stood back up and moved towards him, noticing the broken glass on the floor she stopped "Ill go, we can talk tomorrow Smithy" She turned away, but his words stopped her "I hit Callum" She turned back to him, he was now facing her. She shook her head but before she could Speak he inturupted "Are you sleeping with him?" his words broke her heart, she could see how much they had hurt him, she stepped over the glass towards him she placed her hands onto his, noticing the scan photo in his hands, She smiled at him "No Smithy... I would never... I couldnt do that to you." she took the photo from his hands and placed it back on the mirror, she slipped her hands over the back of his and placed his onto her bump "You, me and our baby thats all I want... its all I need Smithy, I want us to be a family" she ran her hands up his arms leaving his hands resting on her bump, she moved her hands over his chest and up to his face, placing them onto his cheek bones "I love you Dale Smith, you and this baby are my whole life, I cant do this without you" he moved out of her hands and rested against the wall, she moved to him "You listen to me Smithy... it was you who got me out of that bank alive today.. knowing you were on the outside waiting for me!" She took hold of his hands "I swear to you Smithy.. nothing is going on... I swear on my life on the babys life" she glanced down "You are all I need and want for the rest of my life, you are my life" She paused "I know the kiss hurt you" Smithy tried to pull away but she grabbed his hands pulling him back to her "I pulled away from him, I promise you Smithy... please... please Smithy... forgive me" Smithy glanced to Stevie from the floor "I love you Moss... but I cant trust you... not now" She wrapped her arms around his neck and made his eyes meet hers "I'll prove it... I'll prove you can trust me" Smithy nodded slowly. "Ok... but if your lying to me I swear I'll kill him" Stevie nodded and moved up to Smithy and placed a gentle kiss on his lips.
