Chapter Six
"What are you doing here?" Smithy asked as he lent over her shoulder at the coffee machine, placing his hand gently onto her huge bump "Im here to catch up with a few people, Im bored at home and it is christmas day Smithy.. I wanted to see you". He sighed as she turned to face him "You are having the baby next week Stevie... you are ment to be taking things easy..." she smiled "I know..." she lent up and placed a kiss to his lips "And I am... I will see you in a bit" he watched as she walked to the stairs leading to CID and smiled "Your waddling DS Moss..." she turned back and smiled "And your staring Inspector Smith... go and do your work". Things had got better and better for the pair, their relationship going from strength to strength and now she was nearly nine months pregnant and having just celebrated their one year anniversary on christmas eve, she couldnt be happier, she felt more and more comfatable by the day with him. They had booked for her to have a c-section on December 29th and they were both so excited about meeting the baby. He had just headed into his office and rested into his chair when he heard Callum enter the room "Gov... there is a bit of a situation.." Smithy glanced up at him "What is it?". He pushed the door closed and smiled "Custody has lost a prisoner..." Smithy interupted "What do you mean lost a prisoner... how the hell do you lose a prisoner?" he shouted. "There was an incident..one minute he was there... the next he was gone... we are pretty sure he has done a runner.. but no one saw him leave the station". Smithy sighed "So he could be in the station.. whats he in for?". Callum sighed "ABH but he had been inside for attempted murder...". Smithy sighed "Ok.. put the station on high alert... and get some one onto the CCTV... find him.. now".
Stevie had spent half an hour or so in CID and as she headed back down the stairs heading for Smithys office, she couldnt wait to get him home to herself, it was christmas after all and all she wanted was to spend it with the man she loved. She knocked lightly on his closed door before going inside, she moved over to his empty chair and sighed as she glanced round the empty room, she pulled her mobile out and was about to dial his number when a man appeared in the door way. "Hi.. are you looking for Inspector Smith?" she asked and he glared at her "Who are you?". She smiled "Im DS Moss.. well I was until I left to go on materninty but thats another story.. who are you?" she asked and a smirk covered the mans face "Your worst nightmare love" he moved inside and pulled the door closed. She rose to her feet "I need to get out of this place... and Im taking you with me... so you ring someone and tell them to sort me a car..". She felt her skin pale as the man pulled some sort of make shift knife from his back pocket. "I erm.. I dont understand what it is you think I can do... but Im not a police officer any more..." he grinned "Mad man kills pregnant copper makes a good front page but I bet this place will do everything to avoid it eh?" he smiled "Now... phone someone and get me a car". She nodded slightly before reaching into her pocket and phoneing Smithys number. "Not now Stevie..." he answered but she interupted "I erm.. Im in your office Smithy.. I think you need to come down". The man stressed "No... keep them away..". Stevie smiled at him slightly "Please.. if he..." he interupted "No". Smithy could feel his heart in his mouth as he hushed the briefing room into silence "Stevie.. are you with Ray Syms..." he noticed everyone staring at me and he sunk into the chair behind him "I think so" he snached the phone from her "I want a car and a way out... or the blonde gets it.. you hearing me". He chucked her phone onto the desk "What happens now?" he asked and Stevie smiled "They will get a negotiater to phone you... but its christmas day.. it could take a while.." he nodded as she winced slightly "Are you ok?" he asked and she shook her head "Not really Im nine months pregnant... I could of done without this..." she paused as the man rested down against the door "What did you do?" she asked and he glanced up at her "I beat this bloke up... but it wernt that simple... he was attacking his girlfriend.. but nobody will listen to me.. my side of the story..." she nodded "You'll get your say". He shook his head "Im scum... as far your lot is concerned anyway... I went down at fifteen for attampted murder...". Stevie suddenley felt fear rising in the pit of her stomack "Did you do it?". He nodded "My step dad... he attacked my mum.. and I jumped in... I stabbed him...". she sighed "Sounds like you were just in the wrong place at the wrong time...". He nodded "Story of my life..." he paused as he pushed to his feet "I have a little girl.. she was born in January.. this is her first christmas... I dont want to spend it in here..". Stevie smiled "Well trying to break out wont help you... you need to do the right thing.. what would your daughter think of you now".
"Smithy" Jack shouted as he marched down the corridor "Im not standing round doing nothing Sir..". He grabbed the young mans arm "Inspector Smith.. I am not asking you... Im telling you.. now we are going to evacuate the building.. just keep calm and we will get Stevie back safe and sound". Smithy nodded "Sir". He watched Jack walk away and hearing the voice behind him he jumped "Smithy.." she spoke softly and he turned to see her with the blade held against her neck the man holding her tight to his body. Smithy wasnt normally someone who was lost for words but seeing her looking so frightened he felt his speech fail him. "Let her go Ray" Callums voice echoed from behind him and Smithy jumped at the sound. "I want out.. move" Ray shouted and Callum shook his head "No.. you are going nowhere mate... and you are just making things worse for yourself... now let her go". Ray shook his head "Move or I will stab her..". Smithy cut in "Ok.. calm down..". The man walked towards them "Down there... whats down there.." he asked clearly panicked. Callum glanced down the corridor "Custody.." Ray interupted "Good.. down there move". The two men headed down the corridor, pressing the keypad on the door, letting them into custody. "Over there... open a cell.." Callum opened a cell and Ray glared at them "Your radios.. phones.. keys chuck them over there" the two men slowly did as they were told and Ray gestured for the two men to move inside. Stevie felt the pain tear through her tiny body and she doubled over. Ray pushed her towards the cell and she fell into Smithys arms as the door slammed closed.
"You ok.. Stevie.. are you ok?" it suddenley dawned on her that Smithy was talking to her and she nodded slightly "It hurts Smithy... I think Im in labour". He nodded "We are going to get out.. hang on". He left her sat on the tiny bench in the corner of the room and headed towards the door which Callum was stood at "We aint getting out mate.. not untill someone comes to let us..". Smithy smiled "Stevie.. you got your phone?" Smithy asked and she shook her head "He.. he erm.. he took it". Smithy smiled "Now what?". Stevie screamed out and he moved to her "Its ok sweetheart.. lay on the bed.. I will have a look" Stevie cut in "No.. not with him here.." she gestured to Callum and he laughed "Well I aint exactly going anywhere Stevie.. I wont look". She shook her head "Please Smithy.. Im having the c-section in a few days.. please.." she screamed once again and he kissed her forehead gently "Just let me have a look.. see whats going on Stevie". She reluctantly removed her trousers and Smithy smiled at her "You are dilated Stevie.." he began after he had examned her "You are gunna have to give birth.. and you are gunna have to do it now". Stevie shook her head "I dont want to.." she screamed out once again and Smithy smiled "Im gunna have to get Callum too help.. so stay calm.. Stone hold her hand..." Callum smiled "Would I not be better doing... what you are doing?" he asked and Stevie stressed "No.. I dont want you down there..". She gripped hard onto his hand as she screamed through the pain once again. "Smithy please" she begged as her waters broke and he smiled "Its ok.. listen to me baby.. you are fine.. you are going to be fine.." she cut in "Have you ever done this before?". He nodded "Yeah.. once". She screamed out once again and Smithy smiled "Push... push through the pain..". She shook her head "I cant.. Smithy I cant.." she panted and he smiled "You can.. come on babe.. you can". She smiled "I wanna hold your hand" he nodded "Ok.. ok babe but then Callum... he is gunna have to swap with me". She shook her head "No.. I dont.." Callum cut in "I have seen a naked woman before Stevie.. swap". The two men exchanged places as Stevie pushed through another contraction "Ok.. a couple more pushes Stevie.. come on..". She shook her head "I dont want you there delievering my baby..". He cut in "Just push Stevie". Smithy rubed her face slightly "She has issuees Stone.. with people seeing her naked.." she slapped his arm and Callum smiled "Im not down here to have a good gawp.. Im trying to deliever your baby Stevie.. so just forget about it.. and push". She let out one final scream as she pushed the tiny baby into the world. "Its a girl.. you have a little girl" Callum smiled as Smithy pulled his shirt from his body handng it to Callum to wrap the tiny baby in. "Is she ok?" Stevie asked and he nodded "She is fine.. look.." he moved to Stevie and placed the baby into her arms "She is beautiful". Smithy cuddled into his girlfriend and grinned "I told you so many times you could do this... look at her Stevie... she looks just like you". Stevie smiled "She is perfect". Smithy nodded "Im starting to wish I hadnt paid upfront for the C-section" he grinned and she smiled "Im sorry" he shook his head "Dont be.." they all jumped as the door swung open and Neil appeared "We have been looking everywhere for you lot".
Once in hospital the small baby was checked and given the all clear, it suddenley dawned on Stevie what had happened. How did she get through this. "Stevie.." Smithy smiled as he headed over to the bed "Ray Syms has been detained.. they have moved him to Barton Street.." she nodded "What will happen?". Smithy rested down next to her gently strocking the babys face "He wont get bail... he will go down almost definatly". Stevie smiled "He was just frightened Smithy". He nodded "Maybe so.. but he was threatening to kill you... just be thankfull we are all still alive.. now are we sticking to the name we had picked out?" he asked and Stevie nodded "Yeah.. Lilly Smith" she grinned looking at the tiny bundle in her arms. "I love you Moss.." she grinned "I love you too Smithy". He lent into her lips and kissed her gently.
