Chapter 3

The next few days flew past Sherry just sat and thought of Jake and Leon on the mission she was so looking forward to, while Claire did all of the housework and made Sherry eat, Sherry didn't particularly want to but she knew she didn't have much choice; she wished Jake was here to go through this pregnancy as long as she would. Sherry didn't like the fact that Jake went on the mission when he knew she was so looking forward to going on it herself.

One day Chris came he asked if he could bring Piers round Sherry agreed. Mainly because she wasn't going to be much entertainment for him, so she found Jake's old Xbox; she says old it is almost brand new Jake said he wanted one but he never really had time to go on it; for them to use.

The next day, and the next few after that, Chris and Piers came round and went on the Xbox, did some cooking and chatted mainly BSSA stuff but Sherry didn't mind because if filled the long days that Jake were away for. "Sherry, can I ask you something?" Chris asked.

"Yeah." She replied.

"Right I know this sounds weird but could Piers and I stay here for a few days; my mum and Claire are staying at mine and there isn't a lot of room at mine for the four of us?" Chris asked nervously.

"Yeah, you can stay but use the spare room down the hall the one by the bathroom has most of mine and Jake's mission gear in." she said.

"Thank you Sherry, if there is anything you need don't hesitate to ask, yeah."

"Thanks Chris." She said blankly.

A few days past and Sherry is starting to regret letting Chris and Piers stay over; all she can here most nights is a lot of grunting, moaning, swearing and shouting. She now under stands why they didn't want to stay with Chris' mother and Claire. This should all come to an end soon though as Jake should be coming home soon.

The next day Sherry lay in bed, unconsciously holding her stomach, hoping that Jake comes home soon. Sherry is soon pulled out of her trance, Chris knocks on the door when Sherry doesn't answer he comes in holding the phone to his shoulder. "Sherry it's for you." Chris whispered.

"Thank you, Chris." She said taking the phone from him. As Sherry puts the phone to her ear Chris turns and shuts the door behind him. "Hello?" she questions.

"Hi Sherry its Jake's mother." The woman on the other end of the phone replies.

"Oh hi sorry Chris didn't tell me who it was."

"Oh it's okay; I actually called to ask if you could pop over later seen as Jake is away I need to talk to you without him?" She enquired.

"Yeah I'm sure I can make space of you in my very vacant diary today." Sherry joked.

"Okay I will see you soon I'm sure." She said. "Bye Sherry, see you soon."

"Bye." Sherry concluded.

After the phone call Sherry decided to have a shower and have a proper breakfast. After Sherry got out of the shower and eaten her eggs she left Claire a note explaining where she is. Sherry grabbed her converse and ran to the car. She was driving for what seemed to be hours. She finally pulled up outside Jake's mother's house. Sherry got out of the car and slowly made her way to the door. Sherry got to the door and started to slowly bang on the door. No immediate answer. A few seconds. The door opens. In the door way is a lady in about her mid-fifties. "Come in Sherry."

Ms Muller directed Sherry through to the lounge and motioned for her to sit. Ms Muller went through to the kitchen and made some tea while Sherry sat in the lounge that still smelled freshly painted; but then Ms Muller had only recently moved to America. To her left there is a small window that has a ledge big enough to sit on, to the left of that a mantel piece covered in pictures of Jake ranging from when he was just a baby and some from his early child hood. Above the mantel piece there is a huge painting that from a distance looks like an expensive painting done by a professional, but looking closely at the signature it is in fact painted by the right hand side of the room there is some worn chairs and a coffee table, behind one of the chairs there is an old grandmother clock.
