'I... Mum is drinking again... She's probably doing more than that, but that's all she's admitted to. I... Um... Well she's run through her money again, she's pretty much broke, and my Gran isn't willing to bail her out yet again, she's hardly made of money and this isn't the first time this has happened'.

Jess looked down, fiddling with her hands 'Mum knows...things... About me, alright... And you know she's been hanging around recently? Well she said she would 'bring it up' and I just... I didn't know what to do. And the best part of this is? My mother has been spending time with Markus in some seedy bar back home, there's a big group of them together...'.

Jess looked as though she would rather be anywhere in the world but talking to Christian and he touched her hand lightly

'It's alright, you can tell me, I won't get angry okay?'.

Jess let out a hollow laugh and shook her head 'hold that thought until the end Christian'.

He blinked but didn't say anything, waiting for her to continue.

'Turns out Marcus is saying he wants to see Harry, wants to be a Dad or something, fucking idiot. He just wants to because he knows I'm living with you, and you've got a ton of money. He's been sending emails and things, wanting to see Harry. I couldn't let him near my son, I just couldn't'.

'So you gave him the money to stay away?'. She nodded and Christian sighed, running a hand through his hair

'You could -and should- have spoken to me about this, we could have gone through the courts or something'.

Jess simply shrugged, looking down at her thumbs and he glanced over at her 'Your Mother, what was it?'

'What was what?'.

'What did she know, what did she know that you were so afraid of coming out that you paid her to keep quiet?'.

Jess blinked, tears prickling at her eyes 'can you promise me you won't get angry like before?'.

He nodded 'I promise, I just need to know'.

'She- she's been following me recently... And she saw where I went the other week... Said she'd tell everyone-I -I'.

Christian touched her hand again, trying to stop her coming tears 'tell everyone what, Jess?'.

'I-I-I'm pregnant'.

The colour drained from his face and Jess looked scared again, tears streaming down her face as she pulled her knees up to her chest.

'Are you sure?'.

She nodded 'I'm sure... I can't do this Christian, I'm not even 18 yet and this is my second child, I'm going to end up that girl on Steve Wilkos with a million children and nothing else, I'm gonna be the one that everyone laughs at, the one everyone calls a slag'.

Jess had her arms around her knees and was crying heavily into them, looking completely lost.

Christian felt physically sick and wanted to scream and shout at her for being so stupid, but he didn't.

Instead Christian got up, sat on the bed and wrapped his arms around his sobbing daughter, stroking her hair gently as she continued to cry.
