[[Thanks for the reviews guys….very much appreciated. Sorry I didn't update yesterday, had no internet connection at my nans]]
Ronnie walked down the stairs of the Vic, and grabbed her jacket from the coat rack. She suddenly became aware of the noise from the bar, she could hear her Aunty Peggy laughing with the regulars. It was too busy for her liking, so she made her way out of the back door after taking one last look behind her.
Walking out onto the square, Ronnie stopped in her tracks and looked around. It seemed so empty compared to just 15 minutes ago, and it was starting to get dark. Pulling her fingers through her hair, she began to walk. Where she was going, she simply didn't know. All she knew is it was nice to be alone for a bit. She loved Roxy looking out for her, but sometimes it was just a bit much. Roxy wanted to know where Ronnie was permanently, and it made her feel claustrophobic.
Ronnie had only been walking around for 10 minutes but her hips and back were beginning to ache. Walking towards the park she decided to take a little break and sat on the swing. Thoughts rushed through her head as she remembered seeing Danielle sat on the swing joking about with Stacey. It had been nearly 2 years since Danielle's death, but it all seemed so fresh to Ronnie. Remembering everything that had happened caused Ronnie's eyes to glaze over with tears. She wished every day that Danielle was still around. She had seen how good Danielle was with Amy as a baby, and had no doubt in her mind that she would be the best sister ever to the baby that Ronnie was now carrying. At times she felt guilty. Felt that it seemed she was replacing Danielle, but she knew she never could. All of a sudden, she felt her phone vibrate in her trouser pocket. Pulling it out she saw that it was from Roxy. 'Hope your alright. Don't be too long, love you x' Ronnie giggled slightly to herself as she wiped the tears away from her cheeks and put her phone back in her pocket. Who'd have thought it, Roxy being the protective one. Ronnie had looked out for Roxy her whole life. Wherever one was, the other wasn't far behind. Noone dared to start on Roxy, otherwise they would have Ronnie to deal with, and that's the way they liked it, well most of the time anyway.
She decided that she should probably text Roxy back otherwise she would only worry. 'I'm fine, wont be long. Put the kettle on. Love you too x'. Pressing send, Ronnie got up off the swing, struggling slightly. As she began walking, she scrolled through her contact list and stopped at Jacks name. She knew he had changed his number because Roxy had tried to ring him so many times with no such luck, but she still had the urge to try. Plucking up the courage, She pressed the green button. 'your call has been forwarded to the virgin mobile voicemail' . Ronnie was slightly gutted. She so badly wanted to tell Jack. No matter what he did, she still wanted to give him the chance to be part of his son or daughters life.
Nobody knew that the baby was Jacks. Not even Roxy. When asked, Ronnie had told her family that it was a one night stand and that she did not know who the father was. It was mainly not to upset Roxy. If she knew Jack was the father, she would worry that if Jack was to ever come back, he wouldn't be interested in Amy. It was just easier this way.
Ronnie continued her walk back to the pub. The baby was wriggling about and every so often was kicking, which made Ronnie smile as she rubbed her bump. She looked up at the Queen Vic window to see Roxy smiling at her and waving. She promptly mimicked her little sisters actions before walking to the back door and going inside and upstairs. She was greeted with a hug from Roxy, and led into the kitchen where there was a hot chocolate waiting for her on the table.
''Just what I needed. Its turned cold out there'' Ronnie smiled, before taking a sip of her drink.
