"Now it is starting to look like a baby" Jess said, holding up her scan photo. She was five months into her pregnancy and her and Don had just been for another scan to make sure the baby was alright.

"I still don't see it" Don observed as he opened up the car door for his wife to climb into.

"I'll have Hannah show you at home" Jess placed the photo into her purse and began fiddling with her mobile, texting Stella to let her know she was on the way to the lab to help with some evidence. Jess had managed to sneakily get herself back into the lab and analyse evidence, of course she wasn't doing anything strenuous but it beat sitting at desk and typing up documents.

"You're off back to the lab?" Don checked with her and she nodded;

"Yes" she said "Hannah said she'll cook tonight…she only has one lecture at college"

"Fair enough then" Don yawned as he drove "I'll pick you up tonight"

"Actually" Jess drawled "Stella and me was going to go out for drinks…well…an orange juice for me and all that so I told Hannah just to save me some dinner"

"And how will you be getting back home?" Don questioned her

"Stella" she said "don't worry Don…me and the baby will be fine"

…

"Hannah!" a voice called out as Hannah walked down the steps of the college lecture hall and back around the campus as she made her way to her car, carrying her books as she juggled her polystyrene cup of hot chocolate and her car keys.

"Go away Daniel" she said coldly as she saw him catch up with her

"Hannah" he complained "please…I…I know I was a jerk…but you don't have to ignore me…"

"I think it is for the best" she continued looking straight ahead

"It's not" he defied her and grabbed onto her arm, pulling her back to him as they stood still and looking at each other.

"So what was it like then? The thought of sleeping with someone whilst they were drunk?" she asked him curtly and he winced

"Believe me or not Hannah" Daniel shrugged "I didn't know if I was going to sleep with you"

"Oh that makes things better" she said sarcastically before continuing her walk

"Look" he began "I'm sorry for what I was going to do…but you're fit Hannah…and I fancy you like crazy and I knew you'd never go for me as long as your boyfriend was there…"

"What you did was unforgiveable Daniel. I don't care of your intentions to me…I thought you were a friend and then you did that to me. Do you treat all girls like that?"

"If I said yes would you hate me more?" he pondered

"The hatred is quite deep already" she warned him "just go away"

"No" he retorted and then Hannah looked into the car park and then back to Daniel.

"You really should go unless you fancy a beating from Mark" she suggested and saw her boyfriend stood there, leaning by her car, watching her and Daniel intently. He had a messenger bag hanging over his body, his hands stuffed into his grey coat and stubble was once again forming on his chin.

"I'm not scared of him" Daniel jutted his chin out and continued to follow Hannah to her car. When she saw Mark she locked eyes with him and shook her head.

"Hey" she whispered "what you doing here?"

"The more important question is what is he doing here?" Mark nodded his head at Daniel, his face turning red "and my car is in the garage…broke down this morning"

"I was talking to Hannah" Daniel stated and Mark looked at the brunette

"More like stalking" she muttered and Mark sighed once;

"Get in the car Hannah" he instructed her, opening up the driver's side door, taking her books from her and then slowly guiding her to sit in before he shut the door and opened the back door to the Volvo and dumped the books inside.

"Look" Mark began, suddenly grasping Daniel by his collar and slamming him against the boot "Hannah isn't interested, alright? You hurt her and no one gets away with that…she knows what a creep you are so if I ever hear her mention your name in another sentence then I swear that I will personally be the one to come and hurt you. Got it?"

"So you're just a bully?" Daniel spat and Mark shrugged

"I prefer the term 'overprotective boyfriend'" he responded "but it's better than being some dirty pervert who goes around taking advantage of girls"

"You'd better watch it Clarke" Daniel smirked

"Same for you Cook" Mark let go of him and moved around the car "stay away from her"

…

"So what do you think?" Don placed a photo of the scan in front of Hannah as she sat in the living room watching the TV wordlessly that night. Don had sat beside her and wrapped her into his arms tightly, feeling like he never got much of a chance to hold his daughter as much as he did he wanted to take advantage of their alone time.

"I think it is growing…do you know what it is yet?" Hannah wondered aloud, looking at the scan

"We don't want to know…me and your mother didn't know what you was until the birth…it can be a surprise" Don told her and she yawned loudly

"So I hear Jess is back in the crime lab" Hannah murmured

"Yes she is" he agreed "the desk job was killing her…she needs to be doing something, even if it isn't that much she has to be moving slightly"

"It's funny" Hannah whispered "it doesn't seem like two minutes ago when you were asking for my permission to date her and now…well…time goes fast"

"Do you remember the day of the first date?" he chuckled and Hannah laughed loudly

"You were so nervous" Hannah laughed loudly "pretending to be all cocky but I could see through it"

"You know me too well" Don mock complained as his daughter leant against the arm of the sofa, Don held her in his lap tightly, tucking her head into the crook of his neck as he sighed.

"These last few months have been torture Hannah" he whispered

"I know" she agreed "but it's going to get better"

"It is" he promised "it feels like we haven't done this in ages"

"What?" Hannah whispered

"Just…sat here and talked…it's made me realise you're really growing up and doing your own thing"

"I'm still here though" she reminded him

"I know baby" Don muttered, realising there would be one day when she left him for a family of her own. But he would always have Jess and his unborn baby.

…

"Don" Jess called into her house that night, walking into the kitchen which was empty and then she moved into the living room and jumped a little at the sight. Don was sat on the sofa with Hannah in his lap and they were both sleeping. Jess smiled a little and turned the living room light off, draping a blanket over the pair of them before leaving them to sleep.
