I DON'T OWE EMMERDALE OR THE CHARACTERS BLAR BLAR BLAR...IT'S ALL THE PROPERTY OF ITV.
A/N: I was PMed about doing another Ross and Donna story. This will be the last one. I am still writing my other story at the moment, and if I get enough interest with this one, I will continue after I have finished the other story.
NB: Donna is NOT suffering from Cancer in this AU. She came back to Emmerdale because she lost all her savings and wanted a better future for April.
This story starts off with a new conclusion of the Gary North operation.

Ross stopped the police car and turned, "Well, come on then...what do you mean you were never going to run away with me? Me you and April, that's what you said..."
Donna could see the surprize in his eyes, his cut lip was starting to bleed out over his chin from the ruckus in the club only 20 minutes earlier.
"...YOU said that...you had it all planned, not me..."
Ross shook his head in question, "But YOU said you were up for it...YOU were Donna, you told me"
"I can't come away with you..."
"But why...WHY! You just as well tell me seeing you're binning me off anyway"
Donna looked up at him and quivered.
"WHY! DONNA TELL ME!"
She stuttered, and then blurted it out, "I don't LOVE you! I used you...you were right all along...I've been involved in a big operation over Gary North and the back up are arresting him and his cronies as we speak..."
Ross looked at her. He looked pretty much shell-shocked by that. He went over things in his head, "but YOU said you loved me..."
"I lied...I had to...this was ALL apart of the plan...I knew you could lead us to him and you did...you should be pleased...Gary North will go away for an awful long time and he's off your back forever"
Ross gripped the steering wheel hard and looked at her, "You cold bitch"
"Ross...YOU are safe, there will be NO comeback on you, I've seen to that", Donna said smiling at him, trying to make him feel better about the situation.
"Oh you're all heart"
"look...I'm gonna have to get back to the station, I can drop you off at the..."
Ross jumped out the car stripped off his police uniform disguise, all but the shirt and trousers and chucked it at her, "Do one...do what you want...well go on...fuck off out of it, sweetheart"
Donna moved over to the driver's side, she and his eyes met before she closed the door and drove off to close her role.

No sooner had Ross stormed in Andy's place, he started kicking the door in. The anger had built in him during the journey back.
Fucking bitch! Lying to him all them weeks...it had ALL been a set up right from the start and he had fallen for it like the mug he was.
He clenched his fists and smashed them down onto the counter,
"BITCH!"
He then burst into tears and sunk to his backside.
For the very first time he had fallen in love with a girl and she was just using him.
Never again...he was NEVER going to fall for it again...

For Donna it was business as usual. At the station they had hauled in Gary North and his whole gang of crooks and acquaintances.
She had finished her report and stood up. Her colleague turned to her.
"Well done you...you did great...It couldn't have worked out a better result for us"
Donna shook her head, "Yeah...I must admit though, it got pretty heavy in that club..."
The other officer laughed, "Well, well done...good job"
"Thanks..."
They walked together down the stairs to the ground floor of the police station, "some of us are going into town for a drink to celebrate, are you going?"
Donna stopped and looked at him forcing out a smile, "I can't Ben...I have to get back for April"
Ben bit his lip, "another time then?"
Donna smiled at him, Yeah...I'd like that..."

When she got home, she got out of the car and looked across to Andy's place. She wondered whether to go around there or not.
She had fallen in love with Ross. That wasn't apart of the plan but it was something she couldn't stop. She had fallen for his cocky charm big time.
And now he thought she had used him, she did within reason...but that didn't mean she didn't enjoy his company along the way.
More than that.
She had dreaded this day, the day everything had come to ahead. It was the end of the operation and the end for them.
She went into Smithy cottage and went upstairs to change, she wanted a shower before collecting April off from Marlon and Laurel.
She sat on the bed and pulled out the item she had purchased at the chemist on the way home. She looked down at it and slowly pulled the item out of the paper bag.
A pregnancy kit.
She sighed and took it to the bathroom with her.

Ross was on the couch. He was staring into space when Andy came in, "Alright mate...I popped in earlier...are YOU doing a runner?"
Ross looked up at him and saw Andy looking at the packed up holdal on the floor. All ready and packed for his new life on the run with Donna and April...
"You better not of thought about ripping me off with the rent"
Ross jumped up glared at him and then went up the stairs.
Andy grabbed him, "He mate...have YOU been crying?"
Ross shoved him off, "NO! Why would I be doing that you muppet!"
"Charming", Andy said and went to grab a beer from the fridge.

At Smithy, Donna sat on the toilet seat and waited. A few minutes seemed a very long time when you were sitting waiting.
Closing her eyes, she held up the pregnancy kit and then forced her eyes open.
...pregnant...
She sighed, that was ALL she needed...
