It was a couple of days after Kerry and her new baby, Jasmine had returned home from the hospital and Kerry decided to show her new baby off by taking her into work. The first person she saw when she walked through the front door of the station was Yvonne, who looked really annoyed at something. However that soon changed when she seen her best mate strutting into the station pushing a baby pink pram with the smallest, most cutest baby in it ever. The baby, Jasmine was dressed in a baby pink all in one with little pink booty's and a matching pink hat. She looked like a tiny china doll, so precious and fragile.

Yvonne walked over to the pram and her expression changed almost immediately.

"Aww Kez, she is sooo cute!" she exclaimed.

Overhearing this, Dan and Andrea walked over to the pram to see the little one and soon, it was like a little party! However, the happiness soon disappeared as Gina Gold came into the front of the station. On seeing half of her relief ogling over this baby, she immediately set them straight!

"Excuse me my happy and loving staff, you are here to work and not to stare at babies all day. Especially babies that are born into a very...what's the word...? AWKWARD relationship!"

With that, they all said goodbye to Kerry and Jasmine and slumped back to work at the anger of just being told off by a senior member. The thing is, Gina Gold didn't stop there. She went over to Kerry, who was now sitting down in the corner sorting out her baby and went and sat next to her. What she was about to say though was bad timing because Smithy came into the front desk to have a look for some witness statements, knowing that Gina was unaware he could see and hear everything that she was about to tell his girlfriend.

"So Kerry. How are you and your baby doing?'" Gina asked Kerry.

Kerry looked up at her as if to say 'what the hell do YOU care' but politely replied:

"Yes we are doing good thanks Marm".

Gina continued:

"Good, I'm ever so glad. I mean it must be very hard bringing up a baby all by yourself. But I think you're doing well at the single mother job!"

And she got up and went to walk away.

However, Kerry knew that Gina was trying to twist things, so she stuck up for herself.

"I aint alone Gina. I have Smithy and..!"

"No Kerry, you see, that's where you're wrong! You THINK you have Smithy but really, you don't! Dale Smith is not a family man. He's a copper and a bloody good one at that! I mean, come on Kerry. Don't tell me you REALLY think Smithy is going to settle down with you and have a baby that you say is his. Well… that's what you think Kerry because when I have my way, Smithy isn't going to want to have ANYTHING to do with you. Don't you think you have caused enough trouble in this station Kerry! You started here with a fiancée who you finished with and he then became a prime suspect in your best mates murder, you got married to a gay man and then had a miscarriage with his baby, you got engaged to Cameron Tait, accused Smithy of date rape, slept with Smithy, I don't know HOW many times, went off and slept with one of the most notorious gangsters in the whole of SunHill, helped him in an armed robbery, got arrested and then disappeared for ages, making yourself one of the most biggest missing person cases in years! There is only so much Kerry Young that we can take, and believe me, we've had enough. So take yourself and your little baby and go and live as far away as you can!" and with that, Gina walked away.

Kerry just sat there, shocked, not knowing what to do or say! Smithy came out from behind the front desk and went to Kerry.

"Babe, are you okay? Look, she didn't mean ANY of that! She has NO right to interfere in our business and I'm going to make sure she knows that!"

Kerry stood up and pushed the pram towards the front door.

Smithy grabbed her arm, asking her

"Where are you off?"

By the look on Kerry's face, Smithy knew exactly what was coming.

"I got to go Dale, I can't do this anymore. She is right. I have ruined your life! I have been through so much myself and to put you in this position. It's unfair. Dale, she's right! You're a really good copper and if you concentrate on your job instead of having a family, then you have a chance to go all the way!"

And with that, she walked out, leaving Smithy standing there.

He walked out towards the door and called after Kerry, but she wouldn't listen as she turned the corner to the taxi rank. Smithy returned inside the station and was met by the front door by a very happy looking Gina.

"You happy now?"

Gina grinned and replied:

"Yes I am, very pleased Smithy. Finally, you can concentrate on your job and hopefully become a higher rank and not have problems with being a family!"

Smithy didn't reply but just walked away, looking sad.

He went on REFS and sat there with the rest of the officers. However, he didn't talk to the them, instead he tried phoning Kerry. Over and Over again. He ran their house phone then her mobile, and then their house phone again. The phone rang but she kept hanging up on him.

Smithy was devastated! He was even MORE devastated when he returned home to find that most of Kerry and Jasmine's stuff had gone and there was a note saying that they were staying with Honey for a while but not for him to try and get hold of them. Smithy grabbed a bottle of wine, switched the tele on and slouched on the sofa. He couldn't believe what had happened in the last few hours. How could Kerry listen to Gina. Why was Gina, his so called best mate doing this to them.

Had Smithy REALLY lost Kerry and Jasmine for good?

As Yvonne put Jasmine down in the baby cot, Kerry opened the bottle of white wine for her and Yvonne to drink. Honey picked up a glass and opened a box of liqueur chocolates before joining her best mate on the sofa.

Kerry thought about what had happened in the last few hours.

Had she and Jasmine REALLY lost Smithy for good?
