Trouble at the top by Abi and moi

[Dopeyidiot]

Abi and I posted this on the other board and thought we should move it to here so enjoy and let us know what you think!

Chapter 1

Emmas POV

I set off for another day of work. I know Ive got at least one hour free due to the band Im not allowed to wrok with coming in for a meeting. That will give me time to text my best mate and arrange the final details for going out tonight. I walk up and into the office. "Morning Daniel." I say before heading to my desk. I sit down and look at the schedule.
"Emma youve got from 10-11 free as your favourite band will be here."Daniel says to me. I smile at him before handing him some letters to sign.

Perhaps I should explain myself right now.

MY names Emma. Im 21 years old and I work for Daniel Glatman as his PA. The band in question I cant work with are Blue. Its not because we dont get on or anything its because Lee Ryan is my big brother and Duncan James well hes my boyfriend!!! Lee and I are really close. Closer than most brothers and sisters. We share that hyperness and we tell eachother most things. I can tell his mood from the tone of his voice and I know how to get through to him most of the time. We have been close for as long as I can remember and we've never kept secrets from eachother. We're also close to mum to as shes done a great job of bringing us up on her own.

Anyway back to what I was doing. I sort through stuff and sit back and take notes whilst Daniel talks to some new band who want a contract.

Lees POV

Im in a really hyper mood. My girlfriend and I are going out tonight with my sister Emma and my best mate Duncan. Duncan and I head up to Daniels office ahead of the other 2 who are dawdling. We're early so I knock on the door marked PA. "Its open." Is yelled at me so I enter. Emma has her back to me. Perfect opportunity to tickle her. I walk up behind her and grab her. She squels. "Lee get off me right now." She says and I stop tickling her.
"Sis Im in a good mood please be happy for me." I say and she smiles.
"Your gonna get me the sack one of these days Lee Ryan and you know it." She says with a smile.
"Nah Daniel wouldnt sack you your indispensible." I say before hugging her tightly. She seems a bit down today. "You ok?" I whisper in her ear.
"Im fine so quit worrying." She says before kissing Dunk on the lips and shooing us in the direction of Daniels office.

Ants POV

Sy and I head up the stairs slowly. I spot Emma. "Your brother is in his hyper mood." I say to her.
"I noticed. You guys given him energy bars again?" She asks with a grin.
"Nope we gave him dr pepper instead." Sy says and she rolls her eyes before showing us into Daniels office.

Emmas POV

I head back behind my desk in my office and I start texting Abi. Shes my best mate and shes a genuine friend. Shes also dating my brother she must be mad!

Abi: I pulled up in Lee’s car outside Intelligent Management by the entrance waiting for my best mate Emma to come out, she had just finished work and was now her lunch break she had texted me 10 minuets ago to say she was having a break. While i was waiting my mobile went off it was a text from my boyfriend Lee
“Hi babe, just arrived in the meeting, seen Ems she was just leaving. See u 2nite luv ya Lee xx”
I laughed to myself typical Lee ment to be in a meeting so decides to text me, I was about to reply back, when I saw Emma come out so decided not to, and got out the car to greet her instead
‘Hi hunni,’ Emma said as we hugged
‘you ready, so where you wanna go?’ I asked as we both got into the car
‘how about Glitzs’ Emma said as she put her seatbelt on
‘yeah, so what was Lee and the boys doing when you left?’ I asked as I pulled out of the car park
‘going in for the meeting something about new material I think’ Emma said, stupid of me to ask really Emma was not allowed to know the ins and outs of Blue cos she’s Lee’s sister. We drove for about ten minuets, until we reached Glitzs it was a local restaurant stroke bar that we all attend regularly. We went in sat down and ordered and got to what us girls do best gossip.
‘so how’s everything going with Mr James then?’ i asked as the waiter came over with a bottle of white wine
‘fantastically, I’m looking forward to tonight finally get to spend some time with him’ Emma said as she sipped her wine
‘yeah bet you are. What time are we picking the four of them up?’ I asked as the waiter came over with two seafood salads
‘in about an hour, Lee said something about a new club that he and the lads want to go to, so I guess we’ll be going there first’ Emma said unravelling her knife and fork
‘oh yeah I remember Sy mention it yesterday he said he might do some djing there or something’ I said taking a mouthful of food
‘yeah Dan not overly joyed about it though’ Emma said with a slight laugh
‘I bet he aint. and especially when the lads have...’ I was interrupted by my mob going off, ’better take it’ i said reaching into my bag and answering my phone
‘Hi Robbie, no Robbie you’re playing on Mon night against West Ham in the Carling Cup and you have an interview with Spurs Montly.. No Spur Monthly on Thursday I’ll pick you up around 3 ok. Yep bye’ I put down my phone
‘sorry bout that, work’ I said as we finished are meals
‘what Robbie wanting something, you do everything for that man’ Emma said as we got up to go to the counter to pay for are meal
‘no I don’t i’m his PA I have to make sure he know’s what he;s doing he’s Spurs and Irelands top striker I don’t think his bosses would want him doing things for no reason, anyways shall we go and pick the boys up’ I said getting my money out and paying
At about 2 o'clock we arrived back at Intelligent Management where the lads were waiting out side.
‘Hi babes missed me’ Lee said as I walked up to him
‘ummm let me think.. yeah only a little though’ I said as he pulled me into a hug and kiss
‘oh,’ he said pulling a face
‘i’m joking come here babe’ I said wrapping my arms around his neck and we kissed again
‘do you two mind’ Ant said as he finished doing something on his mobile
‘sorry what was that mate’ Lee said in between kisses
‘see my point?’ he said walking off, Sy and Dunk laughed
‘you’re just as bad mate’ Ant said turning around before going to his car
‘are we going out or what tonight, or are you four just going to spend the rest of the day with your tongues down each others throats ‘ Sy said as he followed him
'actually mate we'll only be able to stay for a short while got something planed for this one' Lee said pulling me closer to him.
We all left and got ourselves ready for tonight, it was going to be great spending time with are men as proper couples. It also gave the lads a chance to chill and have some fun at the same time. It also gave me a chance to spend some quality time with Lee, and of course after the meal and seeing Sy djing at the club it will be straight back home with Lee for some real qualitly time

Chapter 3

Ants POV

We walk into the club and Sy walks up to the front where hes gonna be djing. I think Im gonna be playing gooseberry between Abi and Lee and Dunk and Emma.

Emmas POV

"First round of drinks on me." I say before heading to the bar. I grab Ants arm. "Cant carry them all myself." I say to him with a smile.
"Let me take the beers and you take the bacardis then." He says to me. We then head to the table. I sit between him and Dunk. I rest my head on Dunks shoulder. Lee and Abi have their tongues down each others throats. Dunk starts kissing my neck but Im conscious of Ant feeling like a gooseberry. "Lets dance." I say to Ant and he looks at me.
"What about Dunk?" He asks.
"Go on you 2 go for it." Dunk says so Ant and I have a dance together.

Ants POV

"Cheers Emma." I say to her.
"For what?" She asks.
"Being a great mate."
"You soppy git." She says to me. The song ends and the next one starts but Dunk drags her away. I spy a fit girl and start dancing with her.

Dunks POV

Got my girl to myself at last. Sy is really good at djing hes brill. Us guys have a plan when we come clubbing. Its so the fans dont find out about Emma and Abi. Emma and Abi leave ahead of us. Lee and I leave with Sy and Ant as the fans think that Lee and I houseshare but in reality we dont. Ant and Sy house share though. Lee shares with Abi and I share with Emma its just so that we dont get the public at our houses.

Sys POV

The evening flies by and soon Im joing the others on the dance floor. We all go to leave the club. Emma and Abi head out first together like the best friends they are.

Emmas POV

Abi and I leave the club we go round the back to our cars. Lee and the guys soon appear. Lee and Dunk foloow behind Sy and Ant. I hug Sy and Ant goodnight. Lee then grabs me. "Bro you and Abi get home safely and behave please." I say to him and he smiles. He then hugs me tightly.
"Sis stop worrying about me Im a grown up." He says to me.
"Since whens that stopped you worrying about me?" I ask him.
"Well Im the big brother so I can worry." He says before kissing me and heading off with Abi.

Dunks POV

Emma and I get into my car and we head for home. We head to the bedroom. Emmas dead on her feet. She changes into her pjs and climbs into bed. I join her and she cuddles up to me. "Got you to myself at last." she says with a contented sigh. "Love you."
"I love you to babe." I say kissing her head. She tilts her head so we kiss properly. She then closes her eyes.
"Your the best Dunk and you make a brilliant pillow." She says to me. I smile at that comment.

Sys POV

Ant and I head home. Im busy planning what prank I can play on Dunk and Lee tomorrow. We have another meeting with Daniel so maybe we can play a prank on Emma too!!! Ant and sit down to discuss tactics

Lee: It’s the next morning it was a great night being able to chill out with my mates and girlfriend, it’s a rarity that we get to spend the night together cos at the moment everything has been so busy but last night defiantly made up for it!!. I'm still in bed with Abi curled up in my arms, she looks so peaceful laying in the exactly same way she had been in when she feel asleep. With her head resting on my chest and arm draped over my stomach. I stroked her blonde hair which made her wake up, she moved her head slightly and looked up to me with her greeny blue eyes.
‘morning babe sleep well’ i said kissing her forehead
‘umm what little I had... what time is it?’ Abi said rubbing her eyes
‘10:30 babe why you in work today?’ I asked moving her head up so that i could kiss her
‘yeah meeting Robbie at 3 so unless you’re working we got nearly the whole day to ourselves’ Abi said as she put her hand up and down my bare chest
‘I’m not at work till 2 so if you can think of something for us to do till then..’ I was stopped by Abi who moved her head up to kiss me, are kisses became more passionate, I put my arm around Abi and pulled her on top of me
‘this good enough?’ Abi asked as she kissed me on the lips and then down my neck and chest
‘ummm, very good’ I said in between kisses. It was getting very heated and we were both enjoying ourselves, when we were interrupted by Abi’s mobile ,’typical’ I mumbled as Abi pulled away and answered her phone
’oh Hi Dan, no don’t worry, nothing important’ Abi said pulling a face, I tutted and kissed her neck, knowing perfectly well it was my manager on the phone. ‘one moment dan’ ‘oh you get off me for one moment will you’ Abi said as she gave me a quick kiss and carried on talking ’oh ok I’ll be straight there spoken to emma, oh ok see u in 15 bye’ Abi hung up and kissed me
‘so what did Dan want?’ I asked pulling Abi in for another kiss
‘he wants me and Emma in the office in 15 minuets something about a paper’ Abi said trying to pull away
‘oh cant you go later?’ I asked kissing her again
‘no i can’t you stay here and I’ll see you later about 5ish ok’ Abi said getting up to go and get dressed
Abi: I arrived at Dan’s office to see that Emma had already arrived. She walked out of her office which is next door to his and called me over
‘abi in here hun’ Emma whispered,
‘hi Ems why you whispering?’ I asked as we hugged
‘umm I think we might be in trouble’ she said as we walked over to Dans office
‘oh what for?’ I said knocking on the door
‘dunno’ Emma said as we walked in
‘good, you’re both here sorry about this Abi hope I haven’t messed up work for you’ he said pointing for us to sit down
‘no I haven't got work till 3 so you’re ok, so what’s the matter you don’t normally ask to see me?’ I asked as we both sat down
‘well this is the matter’ Dan said slamming a paper onto his desk, he looked quiet p off
‘oh, we didn’t realise that their was any press at the club and we all behaved’ Emma said reading the headline of the paper that Dan had slammed on the desk it read
“Boyband stars turn the air BLUE at club’
‘finish reading it, none of this had better not of happened’ he said sounding very serious I picked up the paper and we both read it
‘what, we only were there to see Sy all we did was have a dance and a couple of drinks’ I said trying not to laugh as I continued to read the article
“excessive drinking, dirty dancing ,and sharing women , so that’s what you do when your in a boyband then?”
‘we only had a dance with the boys and a couple of drinks’ I said defending the boys
‘sharing women what the hell is that about?’ Emma said laughing,
‘well carry on reading it and you’ll find out’ Dan said shoving the paper closer to us
“Lee Ryan, Antony Costa & Duncan James obviously found the time to ’All Rise’ with 2 mystery women whilst band mate Simon Webbe was djing and club, and it looked like Lee got to take then both home and get too close with the help of bandmate Duncan , who also got into a car with mystery ladies.”
‘oh we didn’t realise sorry Dan’ I said smiling to try and get him to forgive us
‘yuck they think that I went with Lee aswell, arrghh’ Emma said shaking her head, which made me laugh
‘and me with Dunk no way!!’ I said laughing, Emma looked at me annoyed ‘ I didn’t mean anything by it Ems he just aint my type’ I said smiling at her
‘well Abi it does not matter who is or is not your type, this is getting too close to the truth what have I told you girls don’t make it to obvious and don’t let the press see you. ‘Dan said pulling the paper out of my hands and pointing to something
‘and another thing girls dont’ get pictured like this!’ he said turning the page and slamming it down on the table again. We both looked at it it was of Emma & I dancing with Lee, Ant and Dunk, and it did look worst then i actually was, it had Emma with her arms around Ant and visa versa and Lee with his hand up my top with my hands in his back jean pockets and Dunk with his hand on Emma bum, we both looked at eachother and laughed
‘oh sorry dan’ I said giggling
‘oopss ‘ Emma said in between he laughter
‘is that all you two can say, final warning this must never happen again do you two understand?’ Dan said rasing his voice again
‘yeah we know sorry’ I said looking at the picture again, god if the lads saw this they wouldn’t be able to work for days
‘ok going get out before I get cross again. but girls this is last chance this happens again then Emma w will have to review things and Abi we’ll have to see about cooling of your relationship with all the lads not just Lee, you here me’ He said usurping us out of his office
‘yeah’ we both said going out the room. We both stood there and burst out laughing again
‘wait till the boys here about this’ i said leaning on a desk for support
‘classic and Dan ‘we’ll have to see about cooling of your relationship with all the lads not just Lee,’ that was sooo funny’ Emma said trying to control her laughter. After a couple of minuets we finally calmed down and were joined by some familiar faces in the offices...

Chapter 5

Emmas POV

I watch Abi leave. The press have really gone to town and its so funny. But I really cant afford to lose this job and Dan's my boss and Ive well and truely dvd him off.

Sys POV

Ant and I head to Emmas office. Shes making a cup of tea. "Wheres ours?" I ask so she turns to make Ant and me one. Perfect opportunity for prank number one. I pour some salt into her tea. She turns and hands Ant and I a cup of tea each. Dunk and Lee enter to so she makes them one each as well. We all sit there waiting for Dan to get off the phone so our meeting can get underway.

Ants POV

Sy and I watch Emma closely. She takes one sip and spits it out. Dunk and Lee look at her like shes mad. "Sy, Ant I know it was you that just put salt in it." She says looking rather hurt. Sy and I just burst into hysterics. Classic really is. Dna appears in the doorway. "Guys Im ready now lets get this meeting underway." He says so we all ehad through. All Sy and I really want to do is mess about though. Lee aint his usual hyper self. Maybe Abi wore him out!!! "So know what youve been doing." I whisper in Lees ear but he doesnt even smile.

Lees POV

Ant and Sy are gonna wind me up in a mo. I sit listening to Daniel go on about a new single when my phone bleeps. "Cant you turn that thing off?" Dan asks me.
"Sorry." I say. Ive been distracted ever since Abi got in this morning. All my phones done is bleep and the house phone has rung constantly. I dont know what to do. I read the message and my heart jumps into my mouth this person knows my address. I get up and run from the room. Panic setting in.

Dunks POV

I watch Lee go. "What was that all about?" Dan asks.
"Search me." Sy and Ant say at the same time.
"Aint got a clue maybe Emma knows Ill go check." I say before heading to Emmas office. "Babe you know whats up with your brother?" I ask her.
"No what do you mean?" She asks me.
"He just got a message and ran out of the meeting." I say and Emma looks at me.
"Did he say anything?"
"Nope but Dans gonna skin him if he doesnt get back soon." I say and Emma looks at me. She grabs my arm and heads into Dans office with me.
"Emma you know whats wrong with your brother?" Dan asks her and she looks at him. Dan really is cross.
"Dan give me 30 minutes to find him and talk to him. There has to be a logical explanation. Blue is his life well music is so it must have been something really improtant for himt o run out like that." She says to him and Dan relaxes.
"45 minutes thats all Im giving you." He says to her. I kiss Emma goodbye as she leaves the room. As soon as shes gone we all get back down to business.

Emmas POV

I head out of the office. I have an idea of where Lee is. I get into my car and head for my house. I pull up and sure enough Lees sat on the doorstep. I get out of the car and walk towards him. "Come on n you come." I say whilst unlocking the front door. He gets up and walks straight in and sits on the lounge floor. I stick the kettle on before sitting next to him. "Lee what is it?" I ask him. I can see that what ever it is has upset him. Its clear from his eyes. He just sits and cries. I dont get why but I know he'll tell me eventually. I just hope its soon though. I pull him to me. He cries into my shoulder.
"Ive messed up sis Ive messed up." He says to me.
"How Lee tell me." I say to him but he just sobs into my shoulder. His phone bleeps and a look of terror crosses his face. I take it from him and open the message. Its got no number on the screen. *I know where ur family live 2 & ur all gonna b mine* I read.

Lees POV

Emma takes my phone from me and reads the message. I look at her. Now I need to tell her everything. "Sis I dont know who it is but its freaking me out big time. My phone keeps bleeping and the house phone keeps ringing." I say to her.
"Lee when did it start?" She asks me.
"The texts a couple of weeks ago. To start with I thought it was Sy and Ant pratting about but not anymore." I say.
"Look bro there are 3 things we're gonna do." She says to me. My ickle sis is taking control of the situation. It should be me in control but I cant as I cant take it at the mo. "First things first. We're gonna tell Daniel as he'll know what to do. Secondly your gonna tell Abi as she has a right to know and finally your gonna change your housenumber and mobile number." She says to me.
"You think that will work? I mean this maniac knows the family address." I say to her,
"Old family address Lee. Wake up mum moved from that house 2 years ago." She says to me and I smile weakly at her. She then hugs me tightly. "We'll work through this as a team now come on or Dans gonna sack me." She says. I look at her like shes mad. I dont know what shes on about. She then tells me about the meeting her and Abi had with dan this morning whilst driving us back to the meeting.

Dunks POV

Lee and Emma appear just before the 45 minutes is up. Lee sits next to us and Emma lingers in the doorway. Dan tells her to leave so she does.

Emmas POV

I text Abi. I tell her to get her butt over here as we need to talk urgently. Heres hoping Lee doesnt bottle out he has to tell Dan and Abi about it.

Abi: It’s now midday so I decided to change my appoints around which means i can spend more time with Lee this evening. I am currently driving to the Spurs training ground to meet up with Michael a new client of mine. i pull up and go through to front desk where I talk to Gina the receptionist
‘Hi Abi so what you doing here thought the lads had training?’ she asked looking in a large diary to check
‘they do but I’ve arranged a meeting with Michael Carrick, he’s thinking about new representation ,meeting with him in about 10 minuets’ I said looking at my watch
‘oh ok. do you want me to call him down or do you want to meet him in the players lounge?’ she said looking through the passes until she comes across mine
‘i’ll go straight to the players lounge, and I might need to go and see Robbie check on the injury do you know if he’s with Jo?’ I said taking my pass from Gina and putting it on the pocket of my skirt
‘he might be I know she said something about extra P.T’
‘oh ok i’ll find out later’ I said going through the door and up to the players lounge

Emma: ‘ come on Lee were going to see Dan you need to tell him what’s been happening’ I say as I rub his hands to try and calm him
‘I..I cant I don’t want a fuss I’m sure it will just stop soon, and I don’t want..’ I stopped him and touched his face you go in there and tell dan and the boys everything do you understand?’ we’re standing outside of Dans office, Lee still reluctant to go in and tell the boys,
‘ok’ lee whispers as he walks into the room, I hear Ant say ‘where the hell have you been’
I look at my mobile and text Abi again.

Abi; ‘well thank you Michael I’m sure we will get along well so just call when you need me ok?’ I say putting the contract back into by bag as I do I here my message alarm on my mobile go off, ’sorry about this you can go back to training it you want?’ Michael nods and goes back to training , I scroll down my inbox to see i have a message from Emma it says
“ Abi get ur butt into the office now, something happened and Lee needs you “
I look at it an rush out to my car , what had happened he was fine when he left...

Sy:’ for crying out loud Lee why didn’t you tell us, this is serious man you should of told us’ I said looking a hate letter that had been sent to Lee
‘I didn’t want to worry you, I’m sure it’s nothing’ Lee says as he rocks back and fourth slightly on his chair, Emma sits next to him rubbing his back
‘nothing, it don’t look like nothing to me you should of said’ i say walking past Dunk and give him the Letter
‘this is sick, Lee you’re going to the police to you hear me’ Dunk says looking at one of the letter
‘so how long has this been going on for then?’ I ask looking over to Lee who is still rocking back and forth
‘about a month now, I don’t know maybe longer’ Lee says as he lifts his tear stricken face up
‘Lee I going to have to take this to the police this is serious, I can’t risk it you’ll have to tell them everything’ Dan says as he writes something on a piece of paper
‘no please don’t and I don’t want Abi to know I don’t want her worrying’ Lee says wiping a tear away

Abi: I could here them in the office I walk over to the door and listen,
I hear Lee say ‘no please don’t and I don’t want Abi to know I don’t want her worrying’, with that I open the door and going in
‘well tough Lee I’m here now and I am worried’ I say walking over to him, Emma gets up so that I can sit next to him ‘thanks ems’
‘i’m sure it ‘s nothing I don’t want you worrying babe’ he say Turing to look at me with tear stricken eyes, I almost start to cry as well ,as i have never seen him like this before
‘right so what’s happened could someone please tell me what’s going on?’ I say looking over to the others they all look down and finally Ant speaks up

Ant: ’Lee’s been getting these and he wont tell us how long for’ i say picking up some of the hate mail and passing it to Abi
‘Ant mate I don’t think thats such a good idea’ Sy says as I pass them to Abi
‘I think she has a right to see them Sy considering..’ i stop not wanting to say anymore incase it made Lee worse
‘considering what Ant? what do they say?’ I ask looking up to him and then at the letters
‘I ummm there sorta about you and Lee and stuff and there kinda..’ I was stooped by Dunk who was hugging Emma
‘Ant leave it let Abi see them for herself sorry Sy I think she has a right to see what this loon has been sending’ Dunk said kissing Emma on the forehead

Abi: ’Lee baby we’re going to the police we can’t allow this to go on ok’ I say pulling Lee close to me and touch his face wiping a tear away
‘but i....’I put my finger on his lips
‘not but’s Lee were going to the ....’Lee stopped me from speaking as he shouted
‘no police’ and ran out
‘lee wait ..Lee’ I shout trying to catch up with him, but I’m pulled back by Sy
‘leave him he’ll go home and calm down don’t go yet or you’ll both end up saying something you’ll regret’ . Sy was right but that didn’t stop me from releasing myself from his grip and i ran down the stairs to follow Lee, I got outside and there was no sign of him and his car had gone, I started to worry , what if he did something stupid. I knew where he would be so I drove home to find him

Lee: i drove home quick as i could with out getting done for speeding, I didn’t want to storm out I just didn’t want Abi to start worrying I was going to sort t in my own time.
I opened the front door to our house and noticed there was another one , a piece of hate mail on the mat. I picked it up and went to the lounge, I sat down and opened it with shaking hands, I unfolded the piece of paper I looked at it in shock. It wasn’t like the other ones this time it was written in blood.....

Chapter 7

Emmas POV

I watch in horror as Lee runs out of the building Abi is hot on his heels. This so cant be happening. I feel Dunk wrap his arms around me. "Abi will talk him into telling the police." He says to me.
"You really dont know my brother do you?" I snap before walking out of the office. I head into mine and slam the door. I slide down and sit in front of it. I hate seeing Lee like this it hurts me so much. Hes my brother and hes so upset its untrue.

Dunks POV

Emma snapped at me. This is upsetting her. Mind you Lee and her are close. Maybe the guys and I dont know Lee as well as we thought we did then. Sys phone starts ringing and he grins. Must be his mystery girlfriend that hes seeing.

Sys POV

I hang up the phone. Clare is this girl Ive been seeing but Im keeping to hush hush as I dont want everyone knowing. Shes a nice girl and is dating me for me and not for anyother reason.

Ants POV

Sys being like me at the mo. Im seeing this gorgous girl called Clare but I havent told the other guys her name as I dont know if it will work out. I hope it does. Im meant to be meeting her tonight. "Sy just so you know you have the place to yourself tonight." I say to him. Although right now Im not really in the mood to go out and party but I dont want to blow Clare out.

Sys POV

"Cheers Ant for telling me. Look one of us should go talk to emma dont ya think?" I ask and I look at Dunk who just looks at me. Its the I want to look but I think she'll yell at me. "Ill come with you." I say to him and we head to Emmas office but we cant get in. Shes sitting in front of the door. Bless her. In the end Dunk, Ant and I manage to get the door open enough for us to get in. Thats purely because Emma moves and we all fall into the room!!!!!

Dunks POV

I walk over to Emma. "Hows about I drive you to Lee's?" I ask her.
"Whats the point? He's my brother but he isnt going to listen to me when hes in this state. I mean when Ive been in that state I havent listened to him." She says the tears running down her face.
"The point is that way he'll realise that hes got you, me and Abi for support as well as Sy and Ant and Dan." I say to her.
"All of you laid into him though. He thought he could handle it as he thought it would go away. I know it hasnt gone away but did you have to lay into him?" She asks. She has a point.
"Probably not but hey thats men for you." Ant says to her. She smiles weakly.
"Dunk Im sorry for snapping at you. I know you care." She says to me. I kiss her forehead and we head out of her office back into Dans.
"Take her home." Dan says to me. So I escort Emma to my car. Sy and Ant get into theirs and we head to Lees house. I do this purely to put my mind to rest.

Sys POV

I sit in the car before heading to Lees as I want to text Clare and ask her over tonight. She replies in no time. *Sorry babe I cnt 2nite im wkin mayb 2morrow though u cum 2 mine. Love C* I smile. I text her back arranging a time. I always seem to go to hers not that Im complaining I mena that way I dont have to chuck Ant out!!! I then drive to Lees. We all head in as a group the 4 of us.

Abi: ‘ Lee wait!!!’ I say rushing down the stairs following as he runs out into the car park, he either didn’t here me or was ignoring me. i saw him get into his car and drive off, I get into mine and follow him. Worrying thoughts go through my head, praying he doesn't do anything stupid. i soon lose sight of his car but I work out his going back home. I drive as fast as the speed limit will allow ad soon arrive home. I park behind lee’s car which is tilted over the curb and run into the house, the front door a jar.

Lee: I ignored ignore Abi’s pleas to stop but I couldn’t I don’t want her to find out about what’s been happening, she’s happy really happy and I don’t want to be the one to change that. I run into the house and up into our bedroom I go to my beside draw and open it, wiping tears from my eye’s I rummage until I find the other letter, i pull out the two new ones from my back pocket and look at them, they read
“I’m going to destroy your life,
make u feel hurt and pain,
you’ll lose all your loved ones
and never see them again”, my hands started to shake it was not like the others it was written in blood. i could here the front door shut and footsteps coming up the stairs, i crumble the letter in my hands tears flowing faster
‘Lee baby where are you? Lee!!’ I hear Abi shout from outside the door I hear here push the door slightly

Abi: I run up to our bedroom I call for Lee but he does not reply , so i gently push the door ajar to see Lee sitting in the corner of the room rocking back and forth
‘Lee’ i say cautiously as I walk over to him, he doesn’t turn around or reply. ’Lee what’s happened babe?’ I ask sitting on the bed and leaning over and putting my hand on his shoulder, he flinches slightly, and takes a while to respond
‘nothing, i’ll sort it’ he says as he continuous rocking and not facing me
‘Lee tell me what’s going on I can help’ I stroke his back trying to soothe him as he starts to sob harder
‘you can;t help I don’t want you getting involved’ Lee say putting his head to his knees
‘tough Lee I’m your girlfriend I am involved so are you going to tell me whats got you into such a state’ I continue to rub his back he opens his hand that was in a tight fist and lays 6 maybe 7 pieces of crumpled paper onto the floor, I sit down beside him
‘what’s these?’ i ask looking at them Lee turns at faces me
‘I don’t want you making a fuss’ he says as I pick up one of the pieces of paper and read it ,
“no more lies Lee end it
or lose everyone u love”
i soon realise it's written in blod
‘you what!, Lee this is hate mail how long lee?’ I ask getting angry not with him but the situation
‘2 months’ he says in between tears
‘and you didn’t think about telling me? we’re going to the police, you hear me? it's not right Lee this must be soughted out it in blood for crying out loud’ I say trying not to get angry but what else was I suposed to feel when my boyfriend has been recieving hate mail written in blood
‘no don’t’ he says taking my mobile out of my hands
‘you need to tell the police Lee this is serious it;s hate mail,and I’m going to....’ Lee stopped me and shouted
‘no police no telling the others about all this they’ll think I’m weak’ he said taking my hand
‘ok Lee what ever you want’ I say rubbing his back and kissing him on the forehead, as Lee stats to calm down the door bell goes, ’shhhh stay here I’ll be right back’ I say before getting up and kissing him on the fore head. I go downstairs and answer the door.....

[Dopeyidiot]

Emmas POV:

Abi lets us in. "Abi whats he gonna do?" I ask her.
"He wont say." She says to me. I can see the anger in her eyes and the tears that are threatening to fall.
"Come here hun." I say pulling her into a hug. "He upstairs." I ask and she nods her head. "Dunk do somit useful make some tea Im gonna go check on my bro." I say before running upstairs to their room.

Dunks POV

If I hadnt of known Emma and Abi were upset I would have come up with some sarky comment to that remark. I mean Im normally helpful if a little forgetful!!! I head to the kitchen with Ant and Sy who are both busy texting. They are keeping their girlfriends names under wraps its strange!. Abi follows me as I make 6 cups of tea. Well I am being helpful.

Lees POV

I hear the bedroom door open again. I continue to rock back and forth. I look up when I realise its not Abi. I see my sis the look of concern written all over her face. She sits next to me not saying a word. Shes doing the old trick say nothing and Lee will spill all. But not this time. I aint gonna tell her everything. ive told her enough as it is. I cant hurt her or Abi or the guys. Ive upset Abi by showing her the things and she wants to go to the police but I dont. i want to let it drop. I feel Emmas hand appear on my shoulder. I smile at her. "Sis Im fine so stop worrying." I say to her. Its only then that I remember that she can tell instantly when im lying. I see the pained expression on her face.

Emmas POV

I cant believe hes just lied to me. "If you say so Lee. Maybe when your ready to talk to me you will but if you cant talk to me talk to Abi." I say before hugging him tightly and standing up. I then head down to join the others. I walk over to Abi. "Talk to him. Hes hurting so much and I know you dont like seeing him like this. Hell I dont either but if he wont talk to me he will to you. He wont lie to you either as he'll think you'll ditch him if he does. Where as lying to me well thats what brothers and sisters are supposed to do I think." I say to her and she smiles and gigggles. "That really didnt make sense did it?" I ask her and she shakes her head.
"It sorta did." She says before disappearing to talk to Lee.

Ants POV

My phone goes yet again. Its Clare she wont stop texting me its great. Sys bird keeps texting him to so maybe we're both off on dates tonight!!!! I watch as Emma stands staring out the window with Dunk behind her. Those two are so loved up its untrue. I dont know how Daniel puts up with her as PA. Dont get me wrong I really like Emma. Shes a great PA to but it must be a pain for Daniel having to write his own notes on Blue just because shes Lees sister. Ive known Emma longer than Ive known our manager and thats down to Lee. Shes as hyperactive as him at times and always up for a laugh playing pranks with us. But she does get annoyed if us guys make Lee any more hyper than normal as it takes a lot to calm him down.

Dunks POV

Im starting to get annoyed with the constant bleeping of phones. I tell ya it looks like Ant and Sy cant bear to be parted from their girls. I wrap my arms tightly around Emmas waist and I feel her lean back into me. She turns to face me and nestles into my chest. I rest my chin on her head. "Thank you." She whispers to me.
"For what loving you?" I whisper back and she chuckles softly.

Abi: ‘Lee babe we need to go to the police ok’ I say going over to sit beside him
‘ok’ Lee says weakly and stand up as he does he picks up the letters. I stand up, feeling slightly faint I lean against the bed, I must of pulled a face cos Lee turned around looking worriedly at me. ‘Babe are u ok?’ he asks
‘i’m fine come on let’s get this soughed out’ I say smiling at Lee, as we walk he takes my hand ‘it will be ok you know’ i say kissing him on the cheek
‘I know’ he say putting his hand to my face and kissing me on the lips

Ant: ‘you ok mate?’ I aske lee as he walks past the lounge door
‘ I’m fine were going to the police, you guys go home we have travelling to do on Friday‘, Lee says putting an arm around Abi’s waist
‘you sure you don’t want us to wait?’ I aske getting up
‘no we’ll be ok I’ll phone you later’ Lee says going to the door
‘ok we’ll be off to then, come onSy’ I say walking to the door


Abi: After two hour’s at the police station a detective said that they would look into the hate mail and texts and had taken Lee’s mobile in for some kind of cal trace testing, to be honest I didn’t really understand everything that was going on as I kept feeling light headed. They said something like if they found anything out or any new information came they would call us. It was now 5 in the afternoon, we pulled into the drive way and went into the house. I went to the kitchen and got two tablets out of the cupboard. I took them and went back into the lounge to check on Lee. He was sat on the sofa starring out the window
‘Lee you ok babe?’ I asked walking over to him, he looked like he was staring into space
‘Lee’ i said again touching his shoulder
‘umm yeah, i dunno why don’t they believe me?’ he asked taking my hand
‘they do babe they’re just got to look into it before they can actually do anthing, it will be ok I promise’ I lean over and kiss his head, Lee still has my hand and pulls me onto his lap, wrapping his arms around my waist, we sit for a few minuets like this without saying a word when the door bell goes
‘I’ll get it’ I say getting up and going to the front door
‘hi abi thought we would see howit went?’ Emma said walking into the house with Duncan
‘ok I guess, they said they would look into it, he’s in the lounge, do you want a drink guys?’ I ask pointing to the lounge, Emma nods and goes into the lounge Dunk follows me to the kitchen
‘tea or coffee Dunk?’ I aske getting cups put the cupboard, before he gets a chance to answer Emma walks in
‘Abi I’m going to take Lee for a walk, let him clear his head for a bit’ she says kissing dunk on the lips
‘oh ok keep and I on him for me will you’ I say turing around to face her
‘sure I will be back in a bit’ she says smiling and going out the room. Leaving Dunk and I alone in the house . We sat down at the table discussing Lee, I still didn’t feel a hundred percent, but my thoughts were distracted from that as my mobile goes off
‘sorry it’s work I had better answer it’ I say flipping the top of my mobile up and going to the hallway
‘you have got to be joking when did this happen?, why didn’t you call me earlier?’ I couldn’t believe what I was hearing, one of the medical staff at spurs was on the phone
‘don’t you think i had a right to know he’s my client for crying out loud, right do you know what the damage is yet and why the bl00dy hell it happened. Ok call me back.’ I finish the call and hang up the phone, the context of the call finally sinking in..
Dunk: Abi’s comes back into the kitchen after her phone call has ended and by the sounds of it, it was bad news.
‘is everything ok Abi?’i ask he as she comes in
‘umm not really there’s been an accident on the training ground Mark’s been rushed into hospital, they think he might off broken a bone in his back’ Abi informs me as she leans against the side of the kitchen work top.
‘poor bloke will he be ok?’ I ask looking at Abi who dosent look completely herself,
‘umm they don’t know, he's in a bad way they don’t know what the whole damage is yet’ she say turing away from me a clutches her stomach, I look at her with concern
‘Abi hun are you ok?’ I aske walking over to her
‘yeah I’m fine, just got a bit of cramp I’m sure it will pass’ she says wincing and bending over
‘Abi what’s the matter?’ i say, before I can ask she slides down to the floor with a look of pain on her face ’abi’ I rush over to her
‘Dunk it really hurts and I’m bleeding’ she says in tears and shaking
‘right i’m taking you to hospital’ I say helping her up and taking her to the car.
On the way there I call Emma on the hands free..

Emmas POV

Lee and I head to the park. He sits there staring at the ducks on the pond. "Lee talk to me. Tell me whats wrong." I say to him and he looks at me with tears in his eyes.
"They didnt believe me thats whats wrong. My lifes screwed up sis and I hate it. I hate the pain knowing that Im telling the truth. Feeling scared. I just want things to go back to how they were. I mean I love Abi and shes great but this is upsetting her. Hell its upsetting you to. I cant put people through this. Why did I have to join Blue. If it wasnt for Blue none of this would be happening." HE says before running off. I decide to go after him. Problem is I know he can out run me without trying to. I do manage to catch up with him though as he stops under the tree we used to play under as kids.
"Lee listen to me." I say taking his chin in my hands so as to make him look at me. "The police do believe you but they have to check into things first. Its just procedure. Abi is strong and she loves you. She'll stand by you and you know that deep down. The thing thats upsetting me Lee is seeing you like this. You dont mean that about not wanting to be in Blue. Its what you dreamed of as a kid and you love it really. The police will sort it out and you know it." I say to him whilst wrapping an arm round him.

Dunks POV

Ringing Emma from the hands free. Feels like a holiday eternity waiting for her to answer her phone. "Emma get you and Lee to the hospital as Abi really isnt well." I say when she answers. I then hang up and continue to the hospital. "Well be there soon Abi." I say to her and she smiles faintly. I stop at the A and E entrance and head in with her.
"Sir you cant leave your vehicle parked there." One guy says to me but I ignore him. Im more concerned with getting Abi booked in. I escort her to a seat and head on out to move my car.

Lees POV

I watch Emma hang up the phone. "Lee shift it back to yours." She says to me.
"Whats going on?" I ask with panic in my voice.
"Abi collapsed on Dunk so hes taking her to the hospital and we're gonna go meet them." She says before running in the direction of my house. I tear after her. We reach mine and Emma snatches the car keys from me before getting into the driving seat. I run round to the passengers side and we head to the hospital.
"Why did she collapse?" I ask Emma.
"Thats what we;re gonna find out. Im sure its nothing serious." She says to me.

Emmas POV

We reach the hospital and Lee runs in in front of me so I lock his car and head in behind him. I spot Lee and Dunk talking. "Shes being examined. They'll get us when they know." Dunk says to me so i sit next to lee rubbing circles on his back trying my hardst to keep him calm.

Dunk: I drive to the hospital with Abi as quickly as I can even if that means going through a red light. As we go to the hospital I call Emma and tell her to bring lee there a.s.a.p . I turn to look at Abi who’s still doubled up in pain, and say
‘Abi we’re nearly there hun’, she looks away from me and stares out the window
‘ok’ is all that she can say to me I can tell that she’s scared and to be honest I am to. We drive for what feel like forever and finally pull up outside the A&E bay outside the hospital, I jump out of my side of the car and run round to Abi’s and open the car door for her. She clutches her stomach and tears are coming from here eyes.
‘do you think you’ll be able to walk?’ i ask her as i crouch down by the side of her, she nods and says
‘with your help’ I take her hand and help her out the car. I then lock it and put my arm around her waist and she takes my hand, we slowly walk into the hospital.
‘sir you cant leave your car there’ I hear someone shout out I ignore them and take abi to be booked in I then sit her down and go back and park the car properly by the times I go back to Abi a nurse calls her in
‘Miss Abigail Bauman’ she shouts, i run over to Abi
‘here Abi take my hand’ i say taking her hands and helping her to walk
‘where’s Lee?’ she asks squeezing my hand and pulling a look of pain on her face
‘he’ll be here in a minuet, don’t worry I’ll stay with you’ I say as we walk into a room and I sit Abi on the bed.

Lee: ’can’t you go any faster?’ I shout at Emma, I don’t mean to I just want to be with Abi
‘we’re nearly there calm down Lee please’ she says to me not taking her eyes of the road
‘calm down, my girlfriends collapsed and has been rushed into hospital and i want to know if she’s ok’ I say still with a raised voice
‘I know we’re nearly there look the hospitals just over there’ she says pointing to the hospital as we stop at a red light’
‘bl00dy red lights can’t you just drive through it’ I say moving in my seat, the thought of just getting out the car and running the next half a mile or so had crossed my mind but i thought better of it as it was raining. The lights change to green and Emma drives off again we 5 minuets later we arrive at the hospital I don’t wait for Emma to park
‘just pull over ems i’ll get out here’ I say jumping out the car and running to the entrance. I rush through the door of A&E and go to the reception I run up to the desk
‘I want to see Abigail Baumann please?’ I ask looking around the busy a&e
‘right and who are you?’ the receptionist asks
‘I’m Lee here boyfriend where is she?’ I ask still looking around trying to see where she could be as i do i see someone that looks familiar come out of a room in one of the bays it was dunk. I run through the door and go to him
‘sir you just can’t go through there’ I hear the receptionist say i just carry on through until I get to Dunk, by this time Emma had entered the hospital and was following me.
‘Dunk where is she, ?I want to see Abi’ I say trying to push past him, he pushes me away by the shoulders
‘she’s just in there, the doctors are doing some tests to see what’s wrong they said they would come and get us when they have done’ he says patting me on the shoulder
‘Dunk what happend babe’ Emma says going over to Dunk and kissing him
‘Abi just collapsed, with bad stomach pains and she said that she was bleeding’ he informed us
‘bleeding, what you mean that’s bad aint it’ I say peering through the gap in the blind trying to see abi
‘I don’t know mate’ Dunk says to me, we are then joined by a doctor
‘are you Lee Ryan?’ he asks
‘yeah, I wanna see Abi’ I say going over to the door which he has opened
‘of course, come in i think it’s best I talk to you both together’ he says as we both go into the room

Abi; I hear Lee’s voice he soon appears with the doctor that had just examined me,
‘Babe what happened you ok?’ he say coming over to me and kissing me on the lips
‘I..I don’t know Lee I felt fine then I had pain, Lee I was bleeding’ i say as ters start to fall again. Lee puts a comforting arm around my waist and pulls me close.
‘sshh it;s ok i’m here now Abi’ he says kissing my head, and rubbing my back
‘umm Ms Baumann’ the doctor says, lee looks over to him
‘the bleeding and the pain why has abi got that?’ Lee asks the doctor who is standing at the end of the bed
‘we’re not entirely sure, but it can be common in the early stages of pregnancy’ he says picking up a clip board. Lee and i looked at eachother .
‘what did you just say?’ Lee said looking at the doctor
‘oh sorry umm Ms Baumann we’ve run some test and you’re pregnant’ he said looking at us for are reactions
‘wow I didn’t realise’ I say looking at Lee who is smiling at me
‘this is brilliant!’ Lee say pulling me in for a kiss, ’how far gone is Abi?’ Lee asks keeping me close to him
‘about 8 weeks, we’ve done some checks the baby’s fine but it’s advisable that Ms Baumann has at least 3 weeks rest because of the bleeding she will be very weak for a while.’ he say going over to the door
‘ok Doc we can do that no work for you missy’ Lee says kissing me again
‘i’ll leave you two alone for a while’ the doctor says going out the room
‘I’m so happy babe’ Lee says hugging me
‘me two, Lee?’ I say pulling away
‘yeah ’he says looking at me
‘were going to be parents’ i say smiling and touching my tummy
‘I know’ Lee says touching my hand and kissing me again

Emmas POV

I sit in the relatives room with Dunk. "Was she stressed when she collapsed clutching her stomach?" I ask him.
"Well she had gotten a phone call about one of her footballers being injured." He says to me. I feel him wrap his arm around me. "Did you and Lee talk properly?"
"I guess. Ive never seen him so scared or freaked out. Mind you he totally lost it when I told him we had to get to the hospital. I got the impression at the last lot of lights that he was gonna get out the car and run to the hospital but I think the rain stopped him. He kept telling me to drive faster. I mean this coming from the guy whos been done for speeding several times telling me to drive faster and I was already breaking the speed limit at times." I say. I feel Dunks eyes on me.
"You broke the speed limit?" He says eyebrows raised.
"What? I was worried about my best mate and also frightened that my brother was gonna have a coronary in the car." I say and he laughs.
"That has to be a first you breaking the speed limit."
"I bet I get a fine for it though as I swear I drove past a speed camera at 90 mph."

Dunks POV

I sit there trying to keep a serious face. My girlfriend broke the speed limit whilst trying to keep her brother calm has to be a first. "Wander when we'll get news about Abi." I say to her. Just then the door opens in walk Ant and Sy. "Got the message how is she?" Ant asks. I look at Emma.
"Changed my answermachine message on my mobile." She says to me.
"Yep. I rang you but yours was off, lees was off, abis was off and Emmas said loud and clear. Sorry cant take your call at the moment due to hospital regulations so leave a message after the tone and ill get back to you when I can turn my phone on." Ant says with a grin.
"So you not only broke the speed limit you found time to change the message on your mobile." I say to Emma and she just rolls her eyes. I then explain to Ant and Sy what Im on about and whats happened to Abi.

Sys POV

We sit there taking it all in. I cancelled my date with Clare and Ant cancelled his date. Lee appears in the doorway. "Whats the news?" I ask when he walks in.
"Im gonna be a dad." He says whilst jumping up and down. he looks like the old Lee again but Emma senses its an act.

Emmas POV

I walk over to Lee. "Lee I know your excited but you dont need to jump up and down to prove it." I say to him and he stops and looks at me.
"Never could act in front of you could I?" He asks.
"Nah I know you tell well Lee Ryan. I mean there are times when I would willingly claim that we're not related as your so embaressing but I also know when your acting, lying and generally hiding things so spill."
"You know me better than I know myself." He says and I laugh.
"Same goe for you knowing me better than I know myself. Your still worried about the other arent you?" I ask.
"Yep but I am excited to." HE says and I smile.
"Im gonna be an auntie now thats cool." I say to him and he grins. We hug tightly and he relaxes completely.
"Can we talk later just you and me." He whispers in my ear.
"Course." I say to him and he kisses my cheek.
"Good as there are one or two things I cant tell Abi but I want to tell someone." He says and I nod my head.
"Whats all the whispering about?" Dunk asks.
"Just reminding my ickle sis here about the time when I told her she was lying and she was like no im not but then i came out with its your mate isnt it and she admitted everything. She didnt have to say a word to me I just knew thats how well we know each other. Now lets go see Abi." Lee says.

Dunks POV

As a group we all head to see Abi. She smiles as we enter. "Abi hun congrats. You know what we're gonna be doing soon." Emma says and Lee groans inwardly but loud enough for us all to here.
"Not on my credit card your not." I say and Emma looks at me.
"Wasnt planning on using yours to spoil my ickle niece or nephew." She says with a smirk. Sy and Ant laugh.
"YEah we will have to go shopping at some point if Lee will let me." Abi says andwe all laugh at that one.

Abi: I see Lee enter the room again this time joined by the others, Emma comes over to me and we hug
‘congratulations Hun, this is the best news.’ she says sitting on the chair next to my bed. Lee sits down on my bed and wraps an arm around my waist, I look at him and say
‘you ok babe’ he looks down and the raises his head
‘of course I am, why wouldn’t I be babe I’m gonna be a Daddy!’ he says pulling me in for a kiss
‘enough of that you two I wanna get a hug in’ I hear Ant say as he comes over and gives me a hug and a kiss on the cheek
‘yeah me to’ sy says walking over patting Lee on the back and then hugging me ‘congratlations and well done mate didn’t know you had it in you’ he says patting Lee on the back Lee smirks at him from the look on his face he aint to impressed
‘thanks Sy’ he says shaking his head

Emma: ‘you know what we’re going to be doing now dont you’ Lee and I look at each other and he groans and I hear Dunk tut ’shut it you’ I say turing around to face him
‘what did I do?’ Dunk says pulling an ’I’m all innocent face’
‘honestly babe I wasn’t planning to use your money on spoiling my niece or nephew, I pause for a moment and then say ‘you haven't got enough’
‘ohh she got ya there’ Ant says as he and Sy laugh
‘great idea Emma, will defiantly have to go shopping if he will let me’ Abi says touching Lee’s leg, Sy and Ant laugh
‘I might do might not’ Lee says pulling a face, Abi playfully hits him on the leg, which makes us all laugh
‘oh you will’ I say smiling at him and Dunk.
Abi: a nurse enters and says ’ visiting time is over’
‘oh’ I hear all the guys say, the three boys and Emma get up
‘we’ll come and see you tomorrow Abi’ Ant says as he goes to the door the other follow him the three boys go ahead but Emma stays behind
‘Lee you coming’ she says standing at the door
‘no I want to stay with Abi’ he says coming to sit back on the bed beside me
‘Lee go home babe, you’ve got work tomorrow’ I say touching his leg
‘no. I’m staying with you work can wait, you’re more important’ he says wrapping his arms around me again
‘right I’m not going to start arguing with you, but you have to go to work Lee, Dunk and I will come tommorrow morning, you go to work with Dunk and I’ll stay here with Abi. Ok.’ Emma says
‘but I..’ I stop Lee in his tracks
‘no buts lee, I’ll be fine Emma can keep me company isn’t that right Ems’ I say smiling at Emma
‘sure is, Lee if you’re going to stay here please get some sleep or you’ll be a nightmare tommorrow’ she says laughing slightly
‘I will promise, thanks sis and Ems don;t tell Dan I stayed’ he says pulling his puppy look
‘ok I’ll be bac in the morning’ she says before shutting the door
Lee: It’s the next day, i stayed awake most of the night, checking that Abi was ok and thinking about the hate mail. I was dreading going back home and that’s mainly the reason I stayed with Abi i didn’t want to be in the house alone. Abi had slept through more or less she had woken twice when she’d had some pain. I don’t know who was more scared me r Abi. I looked at my watch 10 o’clock Abi was still asleep probaely the drugs that they had given her in the early hours was still having effect.

Three hours later

Dunk: ’moring’ I say as we enter Abi’s room
‘how are you today Abi’ Emma asks going over to her and hugging
‘i’m fine they’ve just done some test’ she said sitting up with the assitence of Lee
‘and is everything ok?’ Emma asks
‘yeah the did a ultrasound , the baby’s fine the said ’it’ was not as restless any more and i could probaely go home this afternoon’ Abi says doing quotation marks for it which makes us laugh
‘that’s brilliant news, come on Lee the quicker we get to the studio the quicker you can be with Abi this afternoon’ I say patting him on the bac, he nods and kisses abi then we leave

[Dopeyidiot]

Abi's POV:

Emma sits next to me watching the guys leave. "How'd you sleep hun?" She asks.
"I was given medication to help me sleep so really well. Not sure about Lee though." I say as the tears start to fall. Emma notices and hugs me tightly.
"Dont cry hun. It will all be ok just you wait and see." She says to me.
"Let me guess your gonna sort it all." I say and she smiles.
"Ill try my best."
"Talk to him for me as he wont tell me something." I say.
"Already sorted me and him are gonna talk later. I promise. Hes just trying to protect you and this unborn baby thats all. Hell he's done this to me in the past. He doesnt want you to get hurt by the mess that some psycho is causing. Now stop worrying we have shopping to plan." She says and I cant help but smile.

Dunks POV:

We all head to Dans office. Johnny gave Lee 2 paracetamol for a headache that was probably caused by sleep deprivation he looks knackered. He starts to yawn and Dan notices.
"Late night was it Lee? You knew you'd got work today your becoming unreliable." Dan snaps.
"Dan calm down. Abi was admitted to hospital yesterday as she collapsed. Shes pregnant and Lee stayed with her lastt night. Infact Emmas with her now." Sy says for Lee. Dan starts to calm down.
"Sorry Lee I hadnt realised. Congrats you'll make a great dad." Dan says before coming round and hugging Lee. Dans like a dad to us most of the time. Just like Johnny is.

Emmas POV:

I drive Abi to mine as thats where the guys are gonna meet us. She sits on the sofa while I go to make sandwiches for everyone. The front door goes and I can hear the laughter. I walk into the lounge. "How was work?" I ask whilst wrapping my arms round Dunks waist. Lee and Abi have curled up on the sofa. Ant and Sy are talking about their girlfriends. I cant help but smile.
"Really well actually." He says before kissing me.

Sys POV

"Ive gotta go." I say before hugging Emma and Abi goodbye. Im going to meet Clare at the cafe. I run to my car and head to meet her. I can see her sitting at the table and I walk over to her. "Hey gorgous." I say before taking her hand.
"Hey to you to." She says eyes glinting.

Ants POV

"Im just gonna get some milk or somit." I say and the others look at me."Actually I need fresh air. Back soon." I say before heading for a walk. I wander off to the park and then on to the cafe. I spy Sy with some girl. Hell hes with my girlfriend. How could he? I do my best to control my temper. Ill have it out with him later. I head back to Emmas doing my best to smile at the others when I enter.

Lees POV:

"Sis can we talk?" I ask and she nods her head.
"Come on lets go upstairs." She says to me and we head to her room. I sit on the floor while she sits on the bed. One hand on my shoulder.

Dunks POV:

Ant walks in looking upset. "Whats wrong?" I ask him. Even Abis concerned.
"My girlfriend and my mate together." He says.
"what mate?" I ask but he doesnt answer. He'll tell us eventually. We sit there staring at the tv wandering whats going on with the world.

Lees POV:

"Emma Ive had another letter." I say before pulling it out of my wallet. I pass it to her. I watch as she reads it. I know it off by heart. *You and your sis are so close shame its all gonna end for one of you. As for your girlfriend shes not safe either. Nors your mother. Protect all those round you if you can but you cant hide from me Lee. We're meant to be together and you know it. I know where you all live and Im watching. From the one your meant to be with.* I hear Emma gasp.
"I cant tell Abi." I say and Emma looks at me.
"Lee bro listen to me. Its gonna be fine. I promise you everythings gonna be just fine." She says before sitting next to me on the floor. She pulls me to her. I rest my head on her shoulder. I can see the hurt in her eyes but I let my own tears fall.
"You mean it?" I ask.
"Have I ever lied to you or been wrong before about things that are important?" She asks.
"No you havent but Im scared for everyone. Especially, Abi mum and you." I say.
"Look Ill worry about mum and me and you just worry about Abi. We'll take this one to the police to and we;re gonna get you a new phone. In fact maybe all of us should as if they've gotten your number they've probably got ours to. This isnt your fault. YOu cant help being good looking, funny and in a band." She says and I laugh.
"Cheers." I say.
"Although what the girls see in you Ill never know."
"Oi." I say and I go to playfully tickle her but shes up like lightening and running down the stairs. I follow her and go sit back next to Abi.
"Tell her now." Emma says so I tell everyone

Dunk: ‘what’s the matter with you mate?’ I ask Ant as he storms into my house
‘oh nothing just my so called mate snoging my girlfriend’ he says walking over to the sofa opposite
‘what mate Ant?’ I ask before he gets a chance to answer Sy walks back in smiling to himself
‘him’ he says pointing to Sy, abi and I look at each other confused
‘everything ok?’ sy says looking from ant to us and back at ant again
‘I dunno mate, is it ok when your so called best mate is snogging your girlfriend’ Ant says standing up and walking over to sy
‘what you got a girlfriend, and you didn’t tell us?’ I say watching ant who looks very angry
‘yeah i have she’s called Clare, and he had his tongue down her throat’ Ant said pushing Sy
‘come on there’s no need for this’ I say going over to Ant
‘there’s every need he’s done me over’ Ant say looking more angry. The pair of them share insults for about 5 minuets but are stopped in their tracks when the door opens and Dan walks in

Ant: ‘ don’t let me stop you carry on ripping shreds out of each other I’m sure it’s going to help the situation, and doing it in front of Abi do the pair of you have no shame’ Dan says almost shouting as he stands in-between Sy & I. We both look away
‘well he shouldn’t of been screwing my girlfriend’ I say walking back over to Sy
‘you’re girlfriend she my girlfriend mate get it right’ Sy says pushing me. I feel to hands grab hold of my arms.
‘cut it out the pair of you. Just think about what you’re doing. You have your friend sitting over there, who nearly had a miscarriage and has told not to get stressed, and you to decide to start fighting just sit down and grow up the pair of you. There’s more important things in life like the baby and helping Lee ’ Dan says pushing Sy to sit down
‘sorry Dan’ he says.
‘yeah sorry Dan’ I say, everything goes quiet as Lee & Emma appear on the stairs the walk down Emma with her arm around her brother.
Lee; I walk downstairs with Emma to see that everyone was sitting down silent as the watched me come down the stairs.
‘are you ok Lee?’ Sy says I ignore him at sit down next to Abi wrapping my arms around her waist.
‘Lee..’ Abi say turning my chin so that I’m facing her, ‘whatever it is we can get through it together’ she say stroking my cheek
‘I..I..it’s’ i couldn’t get the words out and I felt a tear fall from my eyes
‘Lee just tell us we can help you’ Abi says kissing me on the lips
‘i’ve I’ve been getting hate mail, it’s worse then before. I didn’t say anything I didn’t want you to worry. It ... it said they.. they want ...want to hurt everyone i caer abut.’ I stopped and started to sob putting my head to my knee’s, everyone stays quiet for a moment then Dan speaks up
‘I’ll deal with it don’t you worry Lee, we’ll go to the police together’ Dan says walking over to me and putting his hand on my shoulder
‘but they didn’t believe me before’ I say looking up at him
‘they will now I’ll make sure of it. Right I need everything that you have been sent every little thing. We’ll sought this out Lee together’ he says looking at me with a weak smile. Dan stands up and walks over to the door. I look at him
‘now, but what about Abi’ I say wrapping my arms around Abi tighter
‘don’t worry about me I’ve got this lot to look after me, just go with Dan and sought this out it will be ok I promise’ she says kissing me. I get up and walk over to Dan
‘good lad come on lets get this soughed’ he says putting an arm around me I look around back over to Abi
‘Abi will be ok were here to look after her’ Sy says walking over to Abi and sitting next to her, she looks at me and smiles
‘please Lee for me or if not for me at least for our baby’ she says touching her tummy. I smile at her and say ‘I love you’ she replies ‘I love you to’ then i walk out the door with dan.

Dans POV:
Lee and I head to the police station. I know a detective there who owes me a favour. Well hes a mate too. "Lee its gonna be fine." I say and he looks at me.
"Emma said that earlier." He says with tears in his eyes as we enter the police station.
"She's right and you know it." I say to him as we walk towards the desk sargent. "Id like to speak to a DCI Tom Barnaby please." I say
"Who should I say it is?" the desk officer asks.
"Daniel Glatman." I say and the desk officer puts a call through. Lee and i take a seat each and wait for Tom to come on down.
"Dan mate its been to long." A voice behind me says. I get up and turn to see Tom standing there.
"Hows Joyce?" I ask him.
"Shes great now must be important for you to come over whats up?" He asks so I explain and I get Lee to give him everything. I watch Toms face.
"This is serious. Im gonna skin the pc that didnt follow these up properly." He says to me.

Lees POV:

I listen to Dan and Tom talk. "Lee we're gonna have to move you and the others to a safe house. We'll move your mother too so dont worry." Tom says to me.
"What?" I say and he looks at me.
"Im worried your lives could be in danger if we dont protect you all." He says to me.
"You wont seperate us will you?" I ask.
"No you and the lads will be together and Abi and your sister will be with you. Might have to move your mum somewhere else though. We're also gonna bug your phones." He says and Dan smiles reassuringly at me. Dan then takes me home to join the others.

Abis POV:

Sy and Ant continue to bicker quietly about who was dating this Clare woman. Emma gets up and walks over. She grabs both their phones. "Seems like she played you both for fools." She says and they look at her.
"What?" Sy says.
"Well both of you have gotten texts from her in which she claims she loves you so you were played." Emma says with a a faint smile. Ant and Sy both look crushed. Emma hugs Sy then Ant. "She was probably a gold digger. You'll have to get your own back on her at some point." Emma says and they perk up. The front door goes and Lee and Dan appear.
"We all need to pack." Lee says whilst sitting next to me.
"What?" I ask him.
"We're being moved to a safe house." HE says before looking at Emma. "Their gonna move mum to." Lee says before turning to me. "Sorry." He mutters and I look at him.
"Dont apologise its not your fault." I say before kissing him.

Dunks POV

I get up and walk over to Emma who's fallen silent. "Babe you ok?" I ask her and she looks at me.
"I didnt realise how serious it all was." She says as tears fall down her face. I pull her to me.
"Its gonna be ok and you know it." I say to her and she looks at me.
"Is it? I said that to Lee earlier and I didnt no whether to believe it."
"Well it will be. Safe house means we'll be safe now go pack/" I say and she disaappears to pack so do the others. I go and pack my stuff. I then grab Emma from behind. "Got any pranks we can play on Lee?"
"Loads but not yet a while." She says with her old smile. So I know shes ok with this now. We all head down as we;re all ready to go to this safe house Dan's coming to make sure we all settle in ok.

Lee: ‘are you ok with this babe?’ I ask Abi as we walked into our house to pack
‘of course I am, what ever is needed to keep us safe’ she says hugging me
‘thanks Abi’ I say wrapping my arms around her and resting my head on her shoulder
‘for what?’ she says moving her head to look at me
‘being understanding and still being with me’ I say as I kiss her on the forehead
‘I would never leave you, we’ve been together 5 years I not going to lose you now. Come on you stop being silly and lets go and pack’ she say kissing me on the lips and holding out her hand. I take her hand and follow Abi up the stairs.

Sy: ’ do they really think it’s necessary for us to go to this safe house as well?’ I say walking into my bedroom, I wait for a response from Ant but he’s still giving me the silent treatment. I decide not to bother asking him again and get on with packing my stuff, a few minuets pass and I hear Ant say something from his room
‘is it as nescerary as you sleeping with my girlfriend then I guess it is’ he says with a sarcastic tone
‘she was my girlfriend mate but lets not start arguing we need to get ready for going to this safe house’ I say to him going back to my room and getting ready


15minuets Later:
Dunk: the other arrive back at ours and Dan sets about organizing the 6 of us and talking us through what will happen.
‘right everyone’s here. ok. I’ve gotten you all new mobiles only your parents and closest family members have got your new numbers as well as each other. Before you say anything Abi we have spoken to the police they have set you up with a new work mobile as well and they have bugged it so that only people in the phone book of that mobile can call and receive calls from it and the number can not be traced ok’ he says passing us our new mobiles
‘thanks Dan’ Abi says curling up next to Lee
‘don’t think you’ll be using that madam you’re not going to be working until this has been soughed out ‘ Lee says taking the work mobile off Abi
‘Lee Ryan give it back now, or you wont get none for a week’ she say playfully hitting him in the stomach Lee passes it back to her as we all laugh including Dan. ‘that always works’ she says as we all continue to laugh.
‘Right come on you lot we need to get you to the safe house a.s.a.p. Johnny will be driving us there’ Dan says getting up a beckoning us to the door, we all pick up are bags.
‘hay no you don’t no lifting you hear me just go and sit in the car I’ll bring yours’ I hear Lee say to Abi, she shakes her head and goes ahead of us and sits in the car, after about two hours we arrive at the safe house

Abi: After an two hour drive we arrive at the safe house, it’s situated in the middle of no where and looks like a luxury penthouse, something I was not expecting.
‘crikey it actually looks quiet nice’I say getting out the car. Dan’s goes ahead an unlocks the front door Emma & I follow him in.
‘no one will find you here, it’s perfectly safe Tom my D.C.I mate set it up for me’ he says walking back over to the car. ‘why don’t you and Emma go in and tell us where you want your stuff’ he says taking my hand and helping me out the car
‘ok thanks Dan come on Ems’ I say as she gets out from the other side and we link arms and go in.
Emma and I look around ‘please say there are four bedrooms’ Emma says to me as we walk to the stair case
‘yeh there had better be, I don’t want another fight breaking out’ I say, as we sit on the bottom step, Dan, lee and Dunk walk in with four suitcases
‘what’s the matter?’ Dan asks
‘we were saying we hope there are four bedroom cos i don’t think it’s a good idea if Sy & Ant share, considering.’ Emma says getting up so that Dunk can go past and take some suitcases up, Lee follows him. After a couple of minuets Dunk shouts down
‘there’s 6 so the can defiantly keep there distance’
‘and there all en suit’ Lee shouts down from the top of the stairs
‘cool. this mate of your’s that set this up must be bl00dy rich’ I say as Emma and I laugh
‘not exactly he just owed me a favour that’s all’ Dan says coming back down the stairs

[Dopeyidiot]

Emmas POV:

"Dan you want me in tomorrow?" I ask before he leaves.
"Sure do Ill get Johnny to give you a lift in. Now stop worrying everything will be ok." HE says before hugging me.
" Dan your scaring me you've only ever hugged me once before and that was when I called one of your clients a fcuking wanka." I say and he smiles.
"You and the guys are like family to Johnny and me. Thats why and your my best PA."
"Only PA unless you have one I dont know about." I tease and he smiles before leaving. I can hear yelling coming from upstairs. I run up and arrive at the top of the stairs in time to see Lee and Dunk each restraining a guy. Abi is standing htere looking at them like she wants to bang their heads together. I walk over. "Ant go to your room and Sy go to your now." I say and Lee and Dunk let go of them as they head off.
"YOu gonna play mother?" Lee asks me.
"No Im not but Im gonna lock them in a room together if they dont stop." I say to him before running into Ants room. I sit next to him.

Ants POV:

Emmas gone into mother mode. "Your gonna talk to Sy now without yelling." She says whilst sitting next to me.
"No Im bleeding well not."
"Ant please. I dont want to go into mother mode. I just want everyone to get on. Abi is supposed to be remaining stress free. Lee is blaming himself for this mess. Dunks I dunno what right now and as for me I cant cope with all the arguing and tension." She says to me and I can see the tears in her eyes.
"Emma he was dating my girlfriend so I cant just forgive him but Ill talk to him without yelling." I say getting up and going with Emma to talk to Sy.

Sys POV:

Ant and Emma appear in my room. "Sy mate Im sorry. I think Emmas right Clare was two timing us." He says to me.
"Im sorry too mate." I say getting up and walking over to him. I hug him and watch as Emma disappears. "Tell you what we need to do. We need to get revenge on Clare." I say and Ant agrees.

Dunks POV:

I unpack my stuff and then start to unpack Emmas things she walks in just as I go to change. She looks upset no longer happy and smiling like she had been earlier when she was with Abi and Dan.
"They're not still arguing are they?" I ask her.
"If they are they've killed each other as I cant hear them yelling." She says to me.
"So whats wrong?" I ask sitting down next to her on the bed.
"Im worried about mum thats all." She says.
"Phone her." I say whilst passing Emma her mobile. I continue to get changed as she speaks to her mum. She hangs up. "Better?" I ask and she nods.
"Mums ok and I was worrying about nothing." She says before hugging me. We start to kiss passionately so I shut the bedroom door with one hand as I dont want us to be disturbed.

Ant: two days past and I was getting really fed up being stuck in the house, and by the look on Simon’s face so was he,
‘hay mate, you know what we said before about revenge you up for it?’ I ask slouching across one of the sofa’s
‘yeah gone then, what you thinking?’ Sy said turning down the volume down on the TV
‘well Sy, I though that one of us could call Clare and ask her to meet one of us at the cafe’ I stopped to have a think
‘and then what?’ Sy asked
‘got it, then the one who meets Clare at the cafe first e.g you, keeps her sweet and flatters her a bit. Then the other, me, could accidentally arrive at the cafe and bump into you she freaks out starts to panic we pretended we don’t know what’s going on then we dump her, after we let her sweat it out for a bit. Then we both chuck her, what you think?’ I say sitting up and looking over to sy
‘one of your better ones Costa, lets get the ball rolling call her bruv’ he say chucking me my phone that is on the coffee table. I then call Clare and get the plan started.

Lee: I gradually wake up from my deep sleep, I slept all the way through as did Abi which is great as she has not been sleeping well the last few nights. i reach over to her side and realise she’s not there. I get out of bed and run out the room calling her name.
‘Abi, Abi’ I shout
‘I’m in the bathroom, now shut up you’ll wake the others up’ she says from the bathroom, ‘it’s unlocked come in’ she says i open the bathroom door and go in
‘are you ok babe, why are you up?’ I say going over to Abi who’s brushing her teeth
‘i’m fine Lee I just needed the loo, that’s all’ she say wiping her face with a towel then putting it on the rack
‘are you sure?’ I say wrapping my arm around her waist and pulling her close to me
‘yes I’m sure, I didn’t have any pain last night, i slept all the way through’ she say turning around and putting her arms around my neck
‘that’s great babe but you will tell me if you don’t feel right again’ I say pulling her close to me and kissing her
‘of course I will, just stop worrying ok’ she says kissing me again
‘ok,but you will tell me wont you the moment you feel unwell at all anything like a headache or just a small twinge you will tell me’ I say rubbing her back an kissing her
‘I promise, now come on lets go and see if the others are up shall we’ she say s taken my hand, she stops outside are bedroom
‘actually I think it would be a good idea to get dressed first’ Abi says putting he hand on my bare chest and stroking me
‘what you trying to say, you don’t like my body?’ I say pretending to be hurt,
‘oh I love it babe, I just don’t want the other three boys to be jealous that’s all’ she says kissing me again and pulling me into the bedroom

Sy: ’ morning boys’ I here Abi say as she and Lee come down the stairs looking very happy with them selves, three guesses for working out what they have been up to.
‘morning Abi how are you today?’ I ask as she and Lee sit on the sofa Abi on hid lap
‘I’m fine Sy thanks for asking.’ she says resting her head on Lee’shoulder
‘I’ve told her to tell the moment she doesn't feel well, and if she needs anything I don’t want Abi or the little one getting stressed at all so no fighting today you two’ He says touching Abi’s tummy she smiles and says
‘so you two talking again?’
‘yeah we soughed it out haven’t we ant’ I say turning to look at Ant
‘sure have we’ve just been discussing are tactics for revenge on the madam’ he say smiling
‘ohh sounds interesting so what you got planned for the two timing cow then?’ Abi says as lee, ant and I laugh
‘well you’ll just have to wait and see, but put it this way I don;t think she’ll be two timing again’ I say we all laugh then the door bell goes
‘oh that’s for us come on sy lets get this plan into action’ ant says jumping out of his seat and answering the door, we both leave and go to the cafe.

Abi: A phone starts ringing and Lee looks at me, ‘is it you or me?’ I ask
‘it’s yours Abi go on answer it’ he say reaching over and passing me the phone
‘hello. oh hi Doctor Roberts yes of course we can be there yeah two hours that’s fine ok thanks Doctor Roberts see you at 12, bye’ I say putting the phone down, Lee looks at me with a concerned look
‘it’s ok Lee it was the doctor that we saw at the hospital he wants to see me at 12 today for a scan and a check up’ I say resting my head on Lee’ s shoulder
‘a scan. that’s quick. wow this means..’ I stop him mid-sentence and smiled
‘we’re going to see our baby’ I say smiling and touching my tummy, lee put his hand over mine
‘I cant’ wait’ he says kissing me and entangling are fingers
‘neither can I’ I look at lee and we kiss again

Emmas POV

The doorbell going wakes me up. I look at the clock. 9 am. roses Johnny's here to collect me and Im still in my pj's not good!!! I look at Dunk hes still spark out. I grab a dressing gown and run down the stairs. Lees opened the door and let Johnny in. I watch as Johnny looks at me.
"Dans gonna kill you. You need to get dressed right now."Johnny says to me. Lee stands there grinning and mouthing my sis is in trouble.
"Johnny give me 10 minutes to get showered and dressed. Lee you can stop mouthing at me and make me some toast." I say before running upstairs to shower and change.

Dunks POV

I wake when Emma comes running in. "Sleep well?" I ask and she rolls her eyes.
"Too well Im late." She says as she runs into the ensuite to shower. I merely roll over to go back to sleep but think better of it and I get out and find a trouser suit for Emma to wear. She walks back int he room a towel round her body and one round her head. "Hope these help." I say before heading to the shower. So no what I wanted to do when she walked back into the bedroom but dont want her to be any later.

Emmas POV

I pull on the clothes Dunk laid out for me and i brush my hair pull on my watch and a necklace. I ram my feet into a pair of shoes and grab my handbag chucking my mobile in it as I head out the room. "Laters Dunk." I yell.
"YEah Bye." HE yells back. I then run full pelt down the stairs. Abi's standing there talking to Johnny and Lee passes me my toast which looks to have a couple of mouthfuls missing.
"Sorry had to make sure I wasnt gonna poison you." He says to me and I smile. I take half a slice and pass the plate back to him.
"Have the rest now Im off." I say and Johnny smiles.
"Good come on." He says as we head out to work.

Ants POV

I watch as Sy heads into the cafe and I watch him kiss Clare and he really does keep her sweet. I give it 15 minutes then I head on in. I walk straight over. "Just what do you think your doing with my girlfriend?" I say to Sy,
"Your girlfriend you must be joking. Tell him Clare." Sy says.
"I......I....."
"You????" I say.
"I was dating you both."She says before crying.
"Really well its one or other of us. Let us know when youve chosen." I say and Sy and I then leave. As soon as we get into the car we burst into hysterics aspecially when our security officer says he got it all on camcorder.
"So got to show the others." Sy says and I nod my head. We then head back to the safe house.

Dunks POV

I leave the bathroom once Emmas gone and I then head downstairs. I watch Abi and Lee all loved up on the sofa. They are so god dam cute. I make myself some breakfast and head through to join them. "Morning." I say and Lee looks at me with a cheeky smile.
"I so know what you and my sis were up to for her to be late."
"Really?"
"Yep and all i can say is I hope you made her happy." Abi playfully hits him and I just roll my eyes. Just then Ant and Sy appear with massive smiles.
"Whats happened to make you 2 so happy?"
"We got her back and its all on camera." Ant says all chipper like before putting a vid in the player and turning the tv on. I have to admit they got her back good and proper.

Dans POV

At 10:30 Emma walks in. "Im so so sorry for being late it will never ever happen again I promise." She says and I have to do my best not to laugh.
"Dont apologise my first appointment isnt till 11 so relax will you. You and the guys have needed your kip so Im not angry." I say.
"How'd you know I overslept?" She asks and then she notices Johnny looking sheepish. "Johnny." she says as she lunges at him. She does what Im used to seeing Lee do. She tickles him and jumps on his back ruffling Johnnys shirt in the process.
"Dan help me this isnt funny." He begs but all I can do is laugh.

Emma: I lunge onto Johnny ‘have you been spying on us’
‘me no of course not it was just a guess’ Johnny says trying to get me of him as I’m now on his back
‘Johnny tell me have you been spying on us’ I say through giggles
‘no it was just a calculated guess and by your reaction the a good one’ he says trying to get me off him
i don’t believe you’ I say as Johnny tries but fails to get me off him
‘come on Emma no ones been spying on you just let Johnny go so that we can get on with some work please Emma’ Dan says pulling me off Johnny

Lee: ‘ you ready babes we got to go in ten minuets’ I shout uo the stairs to Abi
‘just coming’ she replies
‘still can’t believe you two actually did that’ Dunk says coming into the lounge from the kitchen with three cups
‘I know didn’t think they had it in them’ I say as Ant & Sy re-wind the tape for what must be the 100th time
‘look at her face, what a classic. Bet you weren’t expecting that’ Ant says pointing to the tv screen, the look on Clare’s face when Ant & Simon said Hi to each other was something of a classic
‘don’t mess with webbe & costa darling cos that’s what you will get’ Sy says high fiving Ant
‘you two are evil’ Abi says coming down the stairs ‘ but she deserved it though the b!tch’ she says and continues to walks over to me,
‘ready then?’ I ask as I put my arm around her waist
‘of course, right lets go and see our baby shall we’ she say taking my hand and walking to the door
‘good luck’ Sy shouts out, but still not taking his eye of the tv
‘make sure you bring a pic back’ Dunk shouts from the Kitchen
‘okies see you three later then’ I say as Abi & i leave

At the hospital:
Abi: ‘Ms Baumann please’ a nurse shouts from the door of the waiting room
‘that’s us babe come on’ i say taking Lee’s hand
‘ok wow babes were going to see our baby’ he says before we go in the door to see the doctor
‘afternoon Dr Roberts’ I say going over to shake his hand
‘afternoon Ms Baumann, right we’re doing your first scan today you’re 8 weeks so today we are just checking to make sure that the baby is ok.’ he says standing up ‘if you could just come and lay on the bed for me’ he says tapping the bed
‘ sure’ I stand up and go over, Lee looks over to me as I lay down
‘you can come over as well mr Ryan’ the Dr says setting up the scanning machine. ’ok just pull your top up please’ I do so and the doctor continues ’right Abigail I’m going to put some of this gel on the spread it over with this then you’ll be able to see everything on the screen ok’ he said putting some gel on my tummy

‘there you go Abigail & Lee there’s your baby just their’ he says as he moves the monitor around so that we can see the baby
‘wow’ lee says ‘ I can’t believe there’s a baby in there its so tiny’ he say kissing me on the forehead

‘come on babe let’s go back and show the others’ I say putting my arm around Abi’ wais t and walking back to our car.

[Dopeyidiot]

Emmas POV

Dan pulled me off of Johnny so I could be useful but for some strange reason I kept thinking of pranks to pull on people. "Emma you listening?" Dan asks me for like the 99th time.
"Sure you just said that they need their contract extended for 6 months as their good."
"So whats your opinion on them?" HE asks and I try to think of a comment for this band that have just walked in.
"Well the music's ok if your into classical meets pop I suppose." I say and Dan rolls his eyes as thats really not the comment he was after. "Ok they are really good and I think their music will grow on me but can they play a song now so I can get the feel for it?" I ask and he nods his head. The band then play. They are actually quite good I have to admit. "Actually I changed my mind their really really good." I say and Dan smiles.
"Knew youd see sense." He says and I laugh. I then go to make tea for him and Johnny. I accidently manage to put salt in johnnys tea instead of sugar. Sure he wont notice the difference!!!! I walk back in and catch a song.
"Whats this its really good." I say and Dan looks at me.

Dans POV

Not good shes just walked in on a blue song. "Ohh some new group thats auditioned why?" I ask as she hands us our teas. Johnny takes a sip and spits out.
"Emma you put salt in this?" He asks but shes not paying attention. He walks over and grabs her to try and get her attention but shes still not with it. She ends up spilling her tea on the floor. "EMMA." Johnny snaps and I have to try not to smile. She then looks at me.
"So my brother has joined a new group has he?" She asks.
"What? No." I say and instantly regret it.
"So its a blue song then." SHe says and I roll my eyes.
"Ok its a Blue song what you think of it?" I ask and she looks at me.
"Its really good. I never knew Lee could sing like that though or Duncan or Ant or Sy for that matter and its really good." She says before looking at the mess on the floor and cleaning it up. She then appears to lose her hyperness which is not a good thing. I mean Ive learnt that with Lee when hes not hyper he gets moody and tired. So this lack of hyperness means shes either upset or emotional or tired all of that. "Johnny drive Emma home. Ive finsished for today." I say and I watch them leave.

Dunks POV

I sit back with Ant and Sy who are still watching their vid of Clares stitch up. I sit back and I can feel myself going to sleep. Cant help it if Im tired can I?

Ants POV

Sy and I turn the volume down on the tv when we notice Dunk spark out. The front door goes and Emma and Johnny appear. Emma notices Dunk asleep runs upstairs grabs a blanket and drapes it over him before sitting next to me with her hand on Dunks face. Johnny sits there listening to Sy explain what we did to Clare. He then switches the vid on. I notice Emma look at it. "Serves the little tart right. Now is that gonna be the end of it?" She asks.
"Yeah thats the end of it. Dont you think its funny though?" I ask.
"I suppose. Look sorry Im not really in the mood for practical jokes and pranks right now." She says before running upstairs.
"What the hell?" Sy asks.
"She was in a hyper mood earlier. Dan had to pull her off of me as she was doing a Lee. She even put salt in my tea then she heard a song and since then she's been like this." Johnny says.
"What song?" Dunk asks yawning.
"One of yours thats recently been recorded for a future album." Johnny says.
"Which one?" I ask. Trying to think of songs that would leave Emma like that.
"Breathe Easy." Johnny says.
"The song Lee wrote." Dunk says standing up and legging it from the room.
"Is that a good thing or bad thing?" Johnny asks.
"Possibly not a good thing." I say before flicking the tv back on.

Dunks POV

I run up the stairs and find Emma sitting on the bed looking at a photo. "Emma you ok?" I ask and she looks at me.
"Absolutely fine just need a bit of time to myself no offence babe." She says and I nod my head before walking over to her. I hug her when I see her tears.
"You want to talk?" I ask her and she shakes her head. So I go to leave.
"Dunk wait." She says quietly.
"Ok hun Im here."I say sitting next to her.
"Its the lyrics thats all they got me thinking about things thats all." She says before kissing me.
"Ill be downstairs Abi and Lee will be back soon from the hospital." I say.
"Cool cant wait to see the pic of my future niece or nephew thats gonna be cool." She says smiling at me. I then leave her to it. I head on down.
"Well?" Ant asks.
"She seems down. I think Lee is gonna have to talk to her." I say sitting back down.

Abi: ‘wow I still cant believe it Abs we’re goinmg to be parents’ Lee says to me as we get out the car and walk to the back door of the safe house kitted out in caps and large coats so that no-ne could reconise us
‘neither can I Lee, it’s weird how a week ago we didn’t even know and now we have a scan picture of our baby’ I say as Lee takes my hand and opens the fron door
‘I know babe but it’s a great weird cos we’re going to have a little Lee or Abi here soon and I can’t wait’ Lee says as we kiss ‘ come on lets go and show the other’s’ he says as we wak into the kitchen. There’s no-one there so we go through to the lounge to be greeted by Ant & Simon
‘you’re back, did everything go ok?’ Ant said jumping of the sofa and coming to give me a hug
‘yes the baby’s fine’ I say giving Ant a peck on the cheek
‘and you’re ok?’ Sy said getting up and hugging me and then Lee
‘i’m fine thanks Sy’ I say taking the picture out my pocket
‘Lee are you ok’ I hear Sy say to Lee as he puts an arm around him
‘I;m fine bruv, so where’s Emma & Dunk, bet there up to no good again’ Lee says putting and arm around my waist
‘we’re here thanks very much’ Dunk says as the walk down the stairs
‘Abi let’s see then hun’ Emma says coming over and ugging me
‘there you go Ems there’s your niece or newphew hun’ I say handing her the picture, Dunk wraps is arms around her and peers over her shouldeer to look at the photo

‘ahh thanks babe, come on group hug’ Ant says as we all huddle together


Lee: an hour passed and we had all been talking about the baby and Ant’s plans to buy a spurs kit and the Sy’s plans to buy a man utd kit, which then made Dunk say he’s going to get the baby an arsenal one, but what they’ve forgotten is that i’m a charlton fan and so is this baby will maybe the baby will also spurs cos that’s Abi’s team and all her clients play for them so I’ll let that go for now anyway. I looked over to Emma who was unusually quiet I walked over to her and said ‘want to talk’ she nodded and I took her hand. The others just smiled and we went upstairs and into mine and Abi’s room. We sat down on the bed Emma looking down to the floor.
‘what’s the matter Ems?’ I ask siiting beside her
‘i heard omething today?’ she say looking away from me
‘what id you hear babes a rumor you know what the papers are like just ignore them’ i say putting an arm around her
‘no not a rumour lee, i walked into Dans office by accdient this earlier he was listering to one of your tracks’ she said wipeing a tear away
‘which one?’ I ask her stupid really we’ve only recorded one song of mine resently
‘breathe easy. it.it soughta remind me of...’ Emma stuttered but I guessed what she was talking about
‘Jules and Josh right?’ I say, she nods and cries harder
‘I’m sorry Emma I didn’t think you would hear it and at least not with out me there’ I say pulling her close to me
‘I still miss them Lee everyday I think about them’ she says in between sobs
‘I know... I know hun I do to that’s why I wrote it. I still think about them every day wondering what they would be up to now if Josh would have made it as a footballer and if Jules had become a dancer...’ Emma stops me
‘they would have Lee they were both so talented why did... why Lee?’ she says as i craddle her gently
‘I don’t know babe I don’t know, i still try to workout if I culd have stopped it happening if I had only waited’ I say feeling a tear trickle doen my face
‘you weren’t to know Lee none of us could have predicted what was going to happen, if only’s arnt going to bring them back i wish the could’ Emma say breaking into more sobs
‘I do to but breathe easy helped me to put my feelings down i just wish that i had been with you when you heard it so that I could explain’ I say kissing her fore head
‘you don’t need to explain to me what Jules and Josh ment to you I can hear that from the song Lee I could see that in your face at their funeral , you were there rock before and you were my rock after’ Emma says as we hug I feel her take a deep breath
‘it will be ok I promise’ I say as we hug one final time we both stand up and go back downstairs

Dunks POV

Lee and Emma walk back in both have been crying. I pull Emma to me and she snuggles up to me.
"Whats wrong?" I ask her.
"Its ok now I thiink." She says then she looks at Lee and she starts blubbing again.
"Ok someone explain." Abi says looking at Emma and then Lee.
"Yeah please." I say.
Emma looks at me. "I am being stupid thats all Dunk emotional all over some song that I heard today." She says to me.
"You mean breathe easy." Ant says and she nods her head.
"What is it with this song breath easy?" I ask her.
"I wrote it too let my feeling out about our 2 friends Josh and Jules." Lee says.
"Who are Josh and Jules?" Sy asks.

Emmas POV

"Lee Ill explain." I say and I get up and sit next to him merely for strength to tell the others. "Josh and Jules were brother and sister. Josh was the same age as Lee and they were best mates. Jules and I were best mates too." I say before stopping as all the memories come flooding back. "Josh was always into footie him and Lee were always at the park having a kick about. Jules well her hobby was dancing. She dragged me to dance classes occasionally but she was well talented. Just like Josh was talented at footie. They were both being watched by talent scouts. Then one day they were walking home from school. Lee had had to go home promptly as I was ill. Josh and Jules were hit by a a guy who was joy riding. They were taken to hospital and they were taken to intensive care...they both died from their internal injuries." I say before becoming racked with sobs. I notice Dunk get up and walk over. He pulls me to him on the floor. I rest my head on his chest.
"I wrote the song to let my feelings out. We then recorded it and Emma walked in and heard it today and I didnt want her to her unless I was there as I hadnt told her about it." Lee says from the sofa. I pull away from Dunk.
"I guess thats what happens when I dont knock on my boss door before entering. He lied though and said it was new material for a band but I recognised your voice so I knew he was lying so he told me the truth." I say and he looks at me.

Sys POV

I try to take in all of what Emma said but its a bit much. "Lee now I get why that song meant so much to you mate." I say getting up and hugging him before hugging Emma. Abi however is a bit quiet.
"Lee babe you ok?" She asks him eventually.
"Yeah I am just worried about Emma look at her. I shoulda been there today now shes a wreck." He says as Emma gets up and walks out of the room like a lost child.
"Lee dont blame yourself."Dunk says gettingup and disappearing.

Dunks POV

I follow Emma upstairs but she shuts the door in my face. I dont think it was intentional though as she just looked straight past me. I open the door and walk in. Shes staring out the window so I walk over and put my arms round her. I look at the picture in her hands and hold her tightly. Its of her and Lee and Im assuming Josh and Jules. I cant help but think how cute they looked in front of the camera. Emma turns and nestles her head into my chest as I rub her back.

Abi: Two weeks have now past and all of us are still in the safe. Everyone was getting bored and restless and Emma & Lee were both still quiet low. The boys were upstairs writing s song or something and Emma & I are on the sofa’s talking about diffrent thing when the topic of the baby came up.
’ i just though Abi, your ten weeks now arn’t you’ Emma said from the sofa opposite
‘sure am hun, what made you think that Ems’ I say turing my head to face her we were both laying in the sofa’s.
‘dunno but don’t you think that you should start to get are plan into action’ she said moving so that we were both facing each other
‘what plan was that’ I asked slightly confused
‘the shopping one silly, your going to need to get stuff for the baby soon and why not start now. Whilst the boys are writing you know what their like when they get into writing they’ll be there for hours so why don’t we go and shop’ Emma said sitting up
‘ok then why not, lets go and tell them’
Lee: The lads and I are currently writing some songs, it’s great fun and it past the time we’ve writen two so far and I think they are going to be hit’s well that’s my opion anyway. Therer was a knock at the door
‘can we come in?’ Abi asked peering through a gap in the slightly opened door
‘course you can babe, you ok’ I say as she and Emma walk in
‘fine we’re both a bit bored though and as you lads are busy writng we were thinking that we might go and get are shopping plan into action isn't that right hun’ Abi says walking over to me, Sy, Dunk,& Ant all let out loud groans
‘we’re not asking you lot to come with us it’s girls only i’m afraid’ Emma said sitting on Dunk’s lap
‘and what about the baby what if it is a he?’ Ant says leaning over and touching Abi’s tummy slightly
‘we’ll if the baby is a boy he’s allowed to come of course cos he or she is special’ Abi says touching her tummy then wrapping her arms around my neck
‘oh and i’m not then’ I say jokeinlly ,
‘of course you ar babe now give us your credit card one is not going to be enough’ Abi says as she kisses me and puts her hand out
‘ok but don’t let me go bankcrupt ok’ I say as we kiss
‘I promise come on Ems our driver will be here in a minuet’ Abi’ says getting up
‘you two be careful ok’ I say kissing Abi one last time before she and Emma walk out the room, we here giggleing ad they go down the stairs.

Emma: we arrive at the shops and head straight into the first baby shop we find
‘in here Abi, this one looks good’ I say as I link arms with her and walk into the shop
‘okies third time lucky’ she says as we both laugh the two previous shops had fu.ck all in them and nothing to chose from but this one was diffrent
‘omg god abs look at these, you’ve got to buy them’ I say picking up a lttle denmin jacket and small trainer style shoes
‘okies chuck put em in the basket it then’ she say walking over to where there are some baby grows
‘ahh there so sweet’ I say as I pick up a pink one
‘I know but what colour do I get cos i don’t know what this little one is going to be yet do I’ abi says looking at all the diffrent styles and colours
‘look get them all we all can afford it as we all paying towards it right’ I say picking up the pink and blue ones that have frills around the arms and legs abi picks up three in the same colours but in a diffrent design as they have little hoods attached to them, we put them in the basket and carry on looking aroung the shop we put some more item s in the bag and go to the till with not one but two baskets full of clothes and other things like bips hats and litle mittens,
‘right give that here hun I’m paying for these’ Abi says trying to take my basket off me
‘no you don’t I’ll pay for this basket and you pay for that one ok and no but;s i want to treat my lil niece or newphew ok’ I say as are stuff is put through the till, mine comes to £150 and Abi’s to £240
‘ok slightly to much stuff me thinks’ she says as she pay via her credit card
‘oh well it’s all worth it’ I say passing the casheir my credit card. we then leave that shop and go into another one, we look at some more clothes mainly girly ones and pay for them, we carry on looking around when Abi spots a crib that she like
‘wow that’s gorgeous’ she says going over and looking at the ccrib that has white linen on it at little diel with stars and angels on it.
‘why don’ t you get it’ i say looking at Abi
‘no I cant Lee’s not here and I wanted to chose things like this together and where are we supposed to put it cos we’re not at home at the mo’ she says touching the crib and smiling
‘get it abi, you can leave it in the spare room until we leave the safe house and then you can out it in your’s and lee’s’ i say touching her shoulder

‘i don’t know you lot arnt going to want the cot in the house it’s tight enough as it is I’m sure Lee and I can wait nuntil we get back home’ I say smiling weakly biut the truth is we don’t know when we’re going back home that’s if we don’t actually have to move.
‘there;s your recept madam umm heres are number and you can call us when you want it delevered ok’ the caheir said
‘thanks very much. good bye’ I say as ema and i walk out the shop. We then go to a couple of others and then head back to the car and our driver takes us home.

Dunks POV

We are all interupted by the front door going. We jump up and run down the stairs. I watch with Lee as the driver comes in first with bags. Followed by Emma and Abi. "You gonna help?" Emma asks but I cant help but gawp at the number of bags. Sy soon shoves me and I go with Lee to help.
"Did you buy the sop?" Lee asks Abi and she laughs.
"Not quite babe." She says whilst giggling. Even Emmas smiling. I help them with the bags and I watch as Lee looks at the clothes they are all so cute. I look in a bag and pull out the reciept.
"Emma you spent 150 quid." I say and the guys turn to look.
"Yep so." She says and Abi giggles as Lee looks at his reciepts.
"Ok Duncan you thought my sis was a big spender but she isnt by the looks of it." Lee says to me.
"Look what does it matter?" Emma says suddenly.
"Pardon babe." I say as shes got the unhappy tone back in her voice.
"We cant take money with us when we die and it cant buy us happiness as that comes from within us. But I want my niece or nephew to never go with out. I even put all my loose change in several different charity boxes as a way of trying to make a difference to someone elses life." She says before cuddling up to me. "I also bought something for all of you guys individually when Abi went for a loo break." She says. I watch as she reaches into a bag by her feet. One I hadnt noticed. Mind you there are so many its hardly surprising!!!!

Sys POV

Emma passes me a box. I take it and open it. "Emma hun thanx." I say whilst turning the designer baseball cap round in my hands. Its the one Ive been admiring for weeks. I get up and hug. "You knew this was the one I wanted didnt you?" I ask and she nods her head.
"Well you kept going when I can be bothered to go in there and be mobbed by people I'll get it. So I thought hey why not." She says with a smile. She then passes Ant a box. We all watch as he opens it.
"You have to be kidding howd you know I didnt have this one?" Ant asks whilst waving the DVD about like a loon.
"Just a lucky guess then." She says.
"Which DVD is it Ant. It obviously has Robert De Niro in it for you to be this excited." I say and he looks at me.
"Its the Godfather Trilogy and Meet the Folks twin pack." He says and I roll my eyes.
"Emma you do know whats gonna happen now we're all gonna have to watch it." I say and she looks at me.
"So it beats sitting in silence and being bored though doesnt it." She syas and I cant help but agree.

Lees POV

I watch Ant get up and put the first DVD in the machine. Emma then passes me something. "Sis you didnt have to." I say trying to remain happy again. We've both been low these past few weeks.
"I know but I did and I aint taking it back either." She says and I laugh. She even passes Abi something. I watch Abi open up the bag.
"Its the dress I was looking at but didnt buy. Cheers hun." She says and I cant help but laugh. Abi didnt but the outfit but Emma did. What is the world coming too? I open up my pressie. Its a new necklace with a cross on it. I lost my last one on a tour. Its got my initials on it. "Dont lose it." She says to me before passing me something else. I look at it then open it up. Its a framed photograph of Josh, Jules her and me. "Isnt this your copy of it?" I ask her.
"I have another one so dont worry." She says to me. She then passes something to Dunk. We all watch as he opens it. Well everyone except Ant whos totally engrossed in the DVD.
"Babe its brilliant." He says whilst looking at the tshirt with Number 1 guy on it and a chunky bracelate. I watch as they hug. I then hug my sister.
"Cheers ickle you."
"Dont mention it." She says.
"Im gonna cherish it and you knew that already though. I lost my chain on tour and as for the photo Im glad you put it in a frame that way I cant lose it." I say and she smiles.
"You know what Mr Ryan I know you too well and you always lose things so thats why I did it that way." She then disappears with Abi to sort clothes out.

Dunks POV

I go to help Abi and Emma. I cant help but love her even more. As for Abi shes positively blooming. Pregnancy is doing her the world of good.

Abi: ‘look at these Ems I cant believe how tiny they are’ i say picking up the liitle trainers
‘I know hun, it’s amazing how a there’s going to be a little person that will be able o fit in those’ Emma says we both smile as we both get the clothes out the bags, we chat for a while when there’s a knock at the door
‘is this a girls only moment or can I come in?’ Dunk says standing in the small gap of the slightly open door
‘course you can come in Dunk’ i say as he walks in and sits next to emma on the bed
‘thanks’ he says
‘be warned you might regret it, it’s clothes, babies, clothes and more clothes talking in here’ Emma says laughing
‘I don’t mind so come on then hat did you buy’ he asks looking at some of the stuff on the bed
‘well there’s some baby grows and my fav the little shoes look’ I say picking up a pair of tiny trainers and passing them to dunk. A few minuets pass and Lee comes in

Lee: ‘thought I would come and see what you brought our baby’ I say walking into mine and Abi’s room ‘oh and safe dunk from girls talk’ I say laughing
‘we weren’t girls talking thankyou very much bro we were baby talking’ Emma sayd passing Abi a yellow baby grow
‘ahh that’s cute baby, innit a bit girly though’ I say sitting next to abi and putting my arm around her waist
‘no, even if it is I think the baby’s a girl anyways’ Emma says moving and sitting on dunks lap
‘it does not matter if the baby’s a girl or a boy, it’s going to be dressed in the cutest clothes around, see look at this babe what you think’ Abi says passing me a tiny denim jacket, I take it from abi and look at the jacket
‘is the baby going to actually be this tiny’ I say studing the jacket and baby grows
‘sure is babe’ Abi says touching my hand and moving it so that it over her tummy
‘look we’ll leave the pair of you to it so that you can look through the stuff together’ Dunk says moving and taking Emma’s hand
‘you don’t have to you know, your both going to be uncle and auntie to this baby and you’ve brought half of the stuff here stay and look through it with us’ Abi says but emma and Dunk both stay at the door
‘no you to look through it together that’s really sweet of you though but I think Emma should go and have a rest she looks washed out to me’ Dunk says wrapping his arms around emma
‘you ok emma’ Abi asks
‘i’m fine but dunks right i do feel like a need to have a rest for a bit you to carry on though’ emma says as the go out the door
‘ok then long as your ok Emma’ I say she turns around s and smiles, abi & I carry on looking through the clothes

[Dopeyidiot]

Dunks POV

Emma and I head to our room. "Emma you ok?" I ask her. She looks so washed out.
"Tired babe thats all but thanx for the concern." She says but Im not convinced.
"Im allowed to be concerned. I love you Emz with all my heart. YOu sure thats all though?" I ask whilst pulling her to me on the bed. She moves her head onto my chest.
"You know me too well." She says.
"You can tell me anything." I Say and she looks up at me.
"I know that. Its just I want to go home. As in our home. This house is ok but its not the same. I really want things to go back to normal before the hate mail Lee was getting. Its all sinking in the fact that we may never be able to go home and I dont like that feeling at all." She says tears running down her face. I hold her.
"Its all gonna be ok. I want to go home too darling. I miss the privacy. Also living with the guys is a bit like being on tour. YOu have to be prepared for pranks at any given moment. Especially when your brother and Ant get together. Mind you your one for playing pranks."
"Yeah the last one I played on Johnny and then ended up in tears myself thanx to my bad timing."
"You mean the song Emz. It was Lees way of coping with it. YOu must have had one yourself." I say to her.
"Not really. I just kept thinking it was a dream and that Id wake up from it. You know bury your head long enough kinda thing but I also knew they werent coming back too. I miss them Dunk with all my heart. There isnt a day goes by when I dont wonder what they'd be doing now."
"Shhhhhhhhhh its ok. Its all ok." I say rubbing her back as her tears fall. She eventually falls asleep. I stay with her for 15 minutes before heading down to see the others.

Ants POV

Sy and I sit there talking when Lee and Abi appear all loved up. I bet anyminute now Emma and Dunk will appear. It makes me sick sometimes the way they carry on. Well its Lee and Abi mainly. Emmas very conscious about leaving people to feel like gooseberries. Mind you I cant blame Lee for being so loved up hes gonna be a dad soon. Abi a mum too now that is cool.
"Sy what you looking at?" I ask and he holds up some djing mag. "Rite fine." I say. Dunk appears in the doorway looking a bit down. "Mate whats up?" I ask and he looks at me.
"Worried about Emma thats all." HE says.
"What do you mean worried about Emma?" Lee asks.
"I think everythings sinking in from Jules and Josh down to the fact that we're stuck here." He says.
"Was she crying?" I ask.
"Yeah why?"
"Well it explains the wet T thats all." I say and he looks.
"Ive only left her so I can get a drink then Im gonna go back to her as I cant bear to leave her like this." He says walking out the room.
"What we gonna do?" I ask.
"Well I suggest we try cheering her up." Sy says.
"Well done einstein but how."
"Erm let me think." He says and I smile.

Lee: a month has now past since we arrived at the safe house and we’re still here. Everyone seems to have settled into a routine and so far so good as there has been no more hate mail and everyone seems to be happier even Emma. Today Abi and i have another hospital appointment, she is now 3 months pregnant and is due another scan.
‘right I’m just going to see if abi’s ready and then we’re off to the hospital’ I say to the others that are sitting in the lounge watching tv. i don’t get a response just a thumbs up from them all.
‘abi you ready babes’ I say going into are room, abi’s standing infront of the long mirror
‘yeah course i am’ she says touching her tummy
‘come on then’ I say standing at the bedroom door
‘hold up lee come and look at this’ she say’s beckoning me over with her hand
‘what babe’ I say standing be side her. She pulls her jumper down over her tummy slightly. I look at her and smile
‘see now Lee’ she says touching her tummy
‘i sure do babe.’ I say putting her hand over her tummy and looking in the mirror. From her reflection I can see that she now has the tiniest of bumps but it was now obvious she was pregant. ’you look amazing come on lets go and show the others’ I say taking her hand
‘no let’s tell them after the scan hay’ she say putting on her coat i nod in agreement and we go downstairs and say good bye to the others before heading to the hospital

Abi: ‘ morning Abigail how everything been going?’ doctor Roberts says as we enter his room
‘fine thanks, i just can’t wait to see the baby again’ I say touching my tummy
‘well that’s brilliant Abigail just pop on the bed and we’ll do the scan’ he says getting up and setting up the equipment. The doctor starts doing the scan Lee sit’s beside me and hold my hand
‘so Abigail you’re 3 months now, we should be able to see the baby quiet clearly now’ he says moving the screen round ’ the baby’s got a very strong heartbeat’ he says.

Emmas POV

"How many times have you guys watched this film now?" I ask whilst staring at the credits for Die Hard.
"Only 4 times today." Sy says and I roll my eyes.
"Well if anyone wants me Ill be upstairs." I say before disappearing. I hate James Bond films at the best of times but to sit through it because Dunk had gone to sleep with his head on my shoulder had been ok till Ant got up and put it on again. I go to my room and get out my journal. Ive kept one for years. This ones getting rather full. Im gonna have to buy a new one soon. I sit back and read some of my entries as it dates back to when I was 15 years old. Well Im bored I mean I hardly ever read what Ive written but Im going to now so that says something doesnt it.

Dunks POV

"Im gonna go upstairs as you 2 are watching this again." I say and I nip up to my room. I spot Emma on the bed giggling to herself. I creep up and peer over her shoulder but she notices.
"You want to read it?" She asks and I nod my head.
"Well your not gonna as its personal." She says with a grin.
"Ok then doesnt bother me." I say and she looks at me and kisses me.
"Course you can read it babe but when youve read it I want you to give it back to me so I can hide it from Lee as he'd pay to get his hands on it. Oh be warned no using any of the pranks Ive written about in here as they are mine all mine and not to be borrowed without my permission."
"Anything else?" I ask.
"Nope just remeber your reading my inner most thoughts that I havent told anyone before. Well Ive told you how I feel. Oh roses this is where your gonna read what I wrote the day I met you for the first time."
"Cool." I say before pulling Emma to me. I hold her as I start to read her journal. I cant help but laugh at some of the stunts shes pulled.
"That good?" She asks when I laugh again.
"Yep." I say before going back to reading.

Sys POV

I hear lots of giggling from upstairs I look at Ant. I then hear Dunks laugh that only happens if someone said something funny. "Come on Ant." I say and we headupstairs. Their room door is open so we walk in.
"We can hear you laughing downstairs. Whats so funny?" I ask.
"Nothing." Dunk says rather to quickly.
"Hes reading my journal and laughing at the pranks Ive played on Lee over the years and no your not gonna read it but I'll give you some pranks you can play on Lee and thats a promise. Now come on lets leave Dunk to read." Emma says and we all head down again. We sit there planning pranks to pull on Lee and Dunk appears in the doorway.
"Now I understand everything." HE says to Emma before huggin her. We then watch youve been framed and wait for Lee and Abi to come home.

Lee: ‘we’re back’ I say rather loudly from the back door in the kitchen
‘we’re in the lounge not the other side of the bl00dy world lee’ Sy says as Abi and I walk into the lounge
‘yeah soz just excited that’s all’ I say putting my arms tightly round Abi’s waist
‘so did everything go ok then?’ Ant asks turning off the tv
‘yep everything went perfectly, we’ve got something to tell you but where’s Emma?’ Abi says looking over to Dunk who’s half asleep on the sofa
‘oh she’s having a nap upstairs, umm I ‘ll go and get her’ he says getting up off the sofa
‘no don’t wake her wait until she comes down ok, it can wait’ Abi says taking her coat off and passing it to me, ‘there you go and then you can go and make me a hot choccie. babe. thanks’ Abi says kissing me and goes over to sit on the empty sofa
‘slavery’ I say under my breath, the other three laugh as i go out to the kitchen
‘I heard that’ Abi says laughing slightly.
‘you we’re ment to’ I say popping my head round the door. The others laugh again after a couple of minuets I walk back into the lounge with Abi’s hot chocolate
‘there you go babe’ I say passing it to her then sitting down beside her

Abi: half an hour or so pasts the boys talk about some songs they’ve been recording when I see Emma come down the stairs.
‘Emma hun are you ok?’ I ask looking over to her as she walk down to the lounge
‘i;m fine just needed to have a rest I’m fine now’ she say as I go over to her and we hug

Emmas POV

I look at Lee and Abi and cant help but smile. My brother is defiantely happy. "Emma in your journal." Dunk says and I turn to face him.
"Yes."I say
"What did you mean about he asked me out he must need glasses?" Dunk asks and I notice Ant, Sy and Lee and Abi listening.
"Well one your my mates with my brother and none of my brothers mates have given me the time of day before. Two at the time I was feeling insecure about myself so I thought you were mad as you were the guy I liked." I say and I hear an awwwwwwwwww come from Ants direction. I go bright red.

Ants POV

"Emz youve gone red." I say and a cushion comes hurtling my way. I try to duck but it hits me. Sy starts to laugh. We all turn as Dunk then talks about Jules.
"So you and Jules were like sisters." He says and Emma nods.
"Yep we were. Now can you stop telling the room whats in my journal." She says.
"Emma can I read it?" I ask and Lee looks at me questioningly.
"No you cant." She says.
"But i want to know all the pranks youve played over the years." I say and she rolls her eyes.
"Think of the ones a certain person over theres played and youve got the pranks Ive played." She says.
"Ohh so none of your own then." I say and another cushion hurtles towards me.
"Lee learnt his from me as I played them on him although I learnt a few from him." She says and she then turns to Abi. "I get the impresssion they're gonna want to teach my nephew pranks." Emma says and we all laugh. We sit there laughing like idiots.

Ant: ‘The car’s arrived we had better get going guy’s’ I say peaking through the curtian
‘yeah you and Sy go out the front Lee and I will go in the other car that's round the back and we’ll see you at the studio in 30 yeah’ Dunk says instructing us.
‘coolies we’ll be off then. Have a good day ladies’ I say walking to the front door
‘and don’t work to hard. i know those three won’t’ Sy says as he high fives Emma & i
‘yeah you to Sy and keep those three in check for me please’ Abi says laughing
Then Sy and I walk to the front door and go out to our car.

Dunk: ‘ok let’s go Lee, and Ems don’t work to hard babe. Love Ya’ I say kissing Emma on the lips and walking to the back door. I turn around to look at Lee who’s still got his arm around Abi.
‘anytime to day would be great Lee’ I say jokingly standing at the back door
‘coming just saying goodbye to my girlfriend and son thankyou very much’ Lee says poking his tongue out which makes Abi & Emma laugh
‘you sure you’ll be ok? if you don’t feel well come back and rest and call me ok’ Lee says to Abi as he gets up and bends over to give Abi a kiss ‘bye bye baby be a good boy for mummy don’t distract her from her work to much’ he says touching Abi’s tummy and placing a kiss on it
‘I have you to do that , go on Lee stop being all soppy and get to work i’ll see you tonight’ Abi says putting her hand on his face and kissing him. Lee then walks over to me and we go out to the car

Sy: ‘right any idea’s for the new single boy’s?’ Dan asks as our meeting with him get’s underway
‘well what do we want ballad or up tempo?’ I ask looking around to the other lads
‘umm we’ve just done two up temps so maybe a ballad. what does every one else think?’ Dunk says looking at the list of songs that we have already come up with
‘yeah i’m up for that, what bout you Lee?’ Ant says looking to lee who looks like he’s in a world of his own, ‘Lee’ Ant says as tapping him on the arm
‘so what you say?’ Le says snapping out of his day dream
‘get with it lee and concentrate please’ Dan say rasing his voice, he sighs slightly and then says ‘ sorry Lee I didn’t mean that i know you’ve had a lot on your mind is everything ok with abi & the baby?’ he asks walking over to him
‘yeah everything;s great isn’t it guys’ he says we all nod .’ oh yeah I forgot to tell you Dan Abi & i went for a second scan and the baby & abi are fine. We’re having a boy by the way’ Lee says as a broad smile appears across his face
‘ahhh that’s brilliant Lee I’m really happy for you and Abi. You’ll be great parents’ Dan says patting him on the back ’well that’s enough of the happy chit chat back to work. So now we got you back with us Lee have you got any idea’s for what the next song should be?’ Dan says going back to sit at his seat
‘actually I have you know the song we recorded the one that made Emma cry and everything’ Lee says looking away for a moment
‘yeah we do’ I say looking at Lee’s face making sure that he’s ok
‘umm what about it? can we realise ’Breathe Easy?’ Lee says pulling a weak smile
I look around to the others we all nod and smile in agreement
‘of course we can Lee it’s a beautiful song the fans will love it’ Ant says patting him on the shoulder
‘ok then are we all agreed the next single from the third album will be ‘breathe easy’ Dan say writing something down on his note pad
‘yes defiantly we all want breathe easy as the next single’ Dunk says clapping his hands together. The meeting continues discussing potential video locations and what tv we will have to start doing . A lot of laughter is heard and I feel like now maybe everything is starting to become good again.

Ants POV

I sit there looking at my watch and thinking about food. Im hungry and the meetings still going on. Yes we're all laughing and joking but I need food. "Erm Dan I dont suppose theres any chance of us stopping and having a lunch break do you?" I ask and he looks at his watch.
"Sure as long as your all back in an hour. Johnny will go with you." Dan says and then he remembers that he sent Johnny on an errand. "Scrap that I'll come with you guys and your extra security." He says we all laugh and head to the little restaurant round the corner for a decent meal. Well Im not cooking so its got to be decent!!!!

Emmas POV

"Im off now hun." Abi says from the doorway.
"ok Abs." I say smiling at her.
"Your not gonna tell me to take it easy?" She asks. I laugh before shaking my head.
"Thats my brothers job not mine." I say and she smiles. I hug her as she goes to leave with her guard. I sit at the table in the kitchen with Greg. We're in silence as Im trying to work well Ive still got notes to sort for Dan so I brought them home. I watch out of the corner of my eye as he dunks a biscuit in his coffee and makes a slurping noise as he eats it. I glare at him and he laughs. "argh." I say to him and he smiles.
"Am I that bad?" He asks.
"Yes when you make noises like that and Im trying to concentrate you are." I say and he looks hurt.
"But your not as bad as the 4 guys put together." I say and he smiles. I go back ot my work. About 30 minutes later I look at him. Hes reading the paper. "greg." I ask in the tone of voice that means I want something.
"What do you want?" He asks without looking up.
"A lift to work to take these notes in." I say and he sighs.
"Come on then." He syas standing and we head to the office.

Dunks POV

Lunch was great it really was and it gave us more ideas for the video. See food really is fuel for the brain!!! We head back to Dans office and he spots a light on in his PA's office so sends us into his office while he takes a look.

Dans POV

I walk into Emmas office and stand there. "Emma I didnt think you were working today." I say and she smiles and walks over to me.
"Had to get out of the safe house. I was the only one there besides my guard Greg and he was annoying me big time as I couldnt concentrate on the notes I was working on so I came here instead." She says. I cant help but smile.
"What are you like?" I ask her.
"Irreplaceable." She says and I laugh. its true She may well be a Ryan and have that hyper streak but when she goes on holiday and stuff things go to pieces as she knows where everything is!!! She keeps me organised really well.
"Look do you want to talk to Dunk?" I ask and she smiles.
"Can do that at home but are they behaving?" She asks.
"Yep lees been in a world of his own for part of it but theyve all been fine." I say. Just then theres a knock at the door so I move out of the way and the guys trapse in. Dunk sees Emma and immediately walks over.
"Thought I said to wait n my office." I say
"you were taking to long." Lee says and I roll my eyes.
"Come on I want to finish this meeting today." I say and Ant, Sy and Lee head through but Dunk stands there talking to Emma. "5 minutes" I say and he nods his head.

Dunks POV

"Emma the guys and I will be back later than we thought tonight as this meeting is dragging as we cant decide on video locations. Ohhh Johnny and Dan are coming over tonight." I say and she nods her head.
"Whats new on the meeting front?" She asks and I laugh.
"Id better get back in there or he'll shoot me." I say and she hugs me.
"If he annoys you or the others to much tell him his PA will walk." She says and I smile kiss her cheek and head back into the meeting. Things really are starting to feel better.

Sy: ‘ok lads’s we’ve go the single now video locations any idea’s?’ Dans says looking at the four of us
‘umm I don’t mind where we go as long as it’s away from here’ I say looking out the window at the grey clouds, middle of may and it was still raining typical. i thought to myself.
‘I agree’ I hear Ant say
‘Lee it’s your song any idea’s?’ Dan says getting some more paper to write on
‘umm I’ve sought of got some idea’s but I don’t want to be away from Abi for any length of time incase there’s a problem with her or the baby’ he says whilst swing on his chair
‘don’t worry about Abi I’m staying here so i’ll keep an eye on her, the baby and Emma so you just share your idea’s lee ok’ Dan say giving Lee a supportive smile
‘ok I was thinking maybe snow and big lonely buildings and things like that’ Lee says looking over to me ‘what ya think?’ he says
‘I like it’ I hear Dunk say
‘Ant what bout you?’ Dan asks
‘don’t mind long as it’s not to cold, I'm a Greek love god not and ice king if ya know what I mean’ Ant says as Dan, Dunk and Lee laugh
‘umm whatever you say ant,right i’ll get sara on to it see what we can sought out. next up promo’ dan says picking a folder up from the table on the other side of the room.

Abi: I pull up at Spurs Lodge, the Tottenham Hotspurs training ground. I park my car and go through the main entrance. I walk to see a familiar face at the reception desk.
‘Abi!!!’ Gina, says as she rushes from behind the desk
‘Hi Gina, how are you?’ I ask as we hug
‘I’m fine I hear congratulations are in order for you hun’ she says as we walk over to the reception desk
‘ahhhh thanks Gina so have my lads been behaving themselves whilst their agents been away?’ I say leaning against the desk
‘yeah they’ve been good lads. Missing you though even though they wont admit it’ she says looking at me. I follow her gaze and see she’s looking at my bump. I laugh
‘ before you ask Gina ,I’m 16, 17 weeks now so about 4 months gone ’ I say putting a hand over my bump
‘I’m really pleased for you hun, and Lee of course you’ll be great parents. ooh I think they might be out of training now do you wanna go up to the canteen’ she says passing me my pass
‘ahh thanks talk later s yeah’ I say walking through the door. I go upstairs and to the canteen.

‘congratulations hun’ Robbie says as he walks over
‘thanks Rob’ I say as we hug
‘yeah congrats Abi’ Paul, Michael and Anthony say in unsion
‘thanks boys so have you missed me then?’ I say walking over to there table
‘of course not the same with out your visits telling us what to do’ Paul says with a sarcastic tone to his voice
‘oh shall i go again’ i say jokingly pretending to walk off
‘nah joking abs, we’ve missed ya. So you and Lee must be thrilled’ Paul says getting up and pulling a chair over for me to sit on
‘yeah we are, came as a surprise but a brilliant one though ‘ I say smiling as them
‘a dramatic way to find out though, are you and the baby ok now?’ Robbie asks sitting beside me
‘yeah the baby and i are fine now thanks fr asking’ I sy touching my tummy
ahh you got a bump so you know what you’re having et?’ Anthony asks
‘yeah a boy and before you aske we are both happy about it’ I say as the lads laugh
I stay with the lads for about an hour talking about the fittness and work issuse and what i need them to do over the coming weeks. But it’s soon time for me to go and i head off back to my driver and he takes me back to the safe huse so that i can wait for the lads to arrive back home.

Emmas POV

Greg takes me home via the supermarket and I arrive back at the same time as Abi. "How was work hun?" I ask.
"It was good ta. You been shopping for an army?" She asks when she catches sight of all the shopping bags.
"Well at the mo theres 12 of us and 2 extras for tonight meal so yep ive been shopping for an army." I say and she laughs. SHe helps me put it all away as Greg and her guy Paul have buggered off. Lazy sods. We then head through to the lounge.
"Wheres our cups of tea?" Paul asks.
"Make your own you lazy bugger." I say and he sighs before getting up and walking out of the room.

Dunks POV

We all head home in three seperate cars. Lee sits there staring into space.
"Lee bruv whats up?" I ask and he looks at me.
"We need to ask Dan if we can tell the girls the song we're releasing only I want Emma to be warned in advance." He says and I nod my head. We head into the house to be greeted by the smell of food. I walk into the kitchen with the other guys behind. Abis sat at the table looking annoyed.

Lees POV

"Abi whats wrong?" I ask and she looks at me.
"She wont let me help cook." She says and I look at Emma.
"Why not?" I ask.
"Because oh wonderous brother of mine. You told her to rest after work so Im making her rest." Emma says and I cant help but laugh.
"Emz you coulda let Abi help you know." I say and she looks at me.
"If youd come in and seen her helping what would you have done?" She asks and the other guys laugh when I dont answer. "Youd have yelled at me so I cant win can I?" she asks and I apologise.
Dunk goes to help but Emma tells him to disappear. So we all do. Johnny stays though as he wants to make a coffee.

Emmas POV


Johnny asks if he can help so I relent and let him. Cooking a meal for 14 is not easy so shoulda ordered a chinese or something!!!!
"why didnt you just order a meal?" Johnny asks and I sigh.
"Would you serve up an ordered meal to your boss?" I ask and he looks at me.
"Probably not." He says.
"Right then." I say and we start to dish up. He then goes to get the others so we can all sit down to a proper meal.
"Emz when we get out of here can I move into the house with you and Dunk?" Ant asks.
"Why?" I ask.
"Cos then I wont be eating takeaway so much." He says and I just laugh.
"Nah you cant move in but you can come roound for a meal." I say and he smiles.

[Dopeyidiot]

Emma: I sit on the sofa going through some notes that Dan had asked me to go over about a new band he was thinking about signing, the back door opens and I hear loud voices and laughter as the lads arrive back.
‘I’m so looking forward to tomorrow, it’s going to be great’ I hear Ant say and the other laugh
‘sure is I cant wait to get in the recording studio again’ Sy says as the lads come into the lounge
‘ahh babes didn’t realise you were back’ Dunk said coming over to me
‘yeah got the afternoon off thought i would do some paper work whilst you loud mouths were out’ I say kissing Dunk
‘hay don’t talk about Abi like that’ Ant said coming over and sitting down on the sofa opposite
‘I wasnt ant i was talking about you mr talk lot’ I say poking my tongue out at him
‘is Abi back yet?’ Lee ask sitting on the sofa
‘no not yet sure she’ll be back in a min though so don’t worry’ I say smiling at Lee. within a couple of minuets of me saying that Abi walks through the front door.

Abi: ‘ I’m back’ I say shutting the front door behind me the others look at me , ‘don’t worry we checked we weren’t being followed’ I say putting my folders down on the side table. Lee walks over to me,
‘I’ve told you Abi i don’t want you carrying heavy files around with you i don't want you straining ok ‘ he says wrapping his arms around my waist
‘ok i promise’ I say putting my arms around his neck he pulls me close and we kiss
‘so how’s my gorgeous girlfriend and son been today?’ he asks as we hug and he touches my bump and walk over to the sofa
‘absolutely fine, my morning sickness came back a bit though but i’m ok’ I say sitting down
‘long as your sure’ lee says kissing me
‘yes I’m sure. Oh ***** I left Reto’s player profile in the car’ I say standing up
‘don’t worry I’ll go and see if your drivers still there’ Lee says kissing me and jogging to the door

Dunk: I cuddle up to Emma, ‘so you had a good day’ I ask her kissing her forehead
‘yeah lots of paperwork though what bout you had fun’ she asks resting her head on my chest
‘yeah vid locations dissussions are always fun and Lee was coming up with some a.......’
BANG BANG!!!!!!
‘What the fu.ck was that!!!’ Ant says jumping off the sofa and going to the window
‘i... I don’t know’ i say going over to him, simon runs in from the kitchen
‘I just heard a gun go off!’ Sy says walking over to the lounge
‘Lee!!!!’ Abi screams going to the door, Ant grabs her and pulls her back
‘no Abs wait here with Sy’ he says nodding at sy who takes Abi in his arms ‘we’ll go and see what happens I’m sure Lee’s fine’ Ant says as he and I run to the door and go out.
‘the car aint there’ Ant says as we walk out the door we look down the steps. We look at each other staying still for a moment in complete shock until Ant shouts
‘Lee Oh Fu.ck’ he says running over to Lee who’s at the bottom of the steps. I look at Lee I see blood coming through his white top he’d been shoot
‘don’t just fu.cking stand there get a bl00dy ambulance’ he screams at me as he takes his jacket off placing it on the shot wound. I run into the house doing what ant asked.

Dunks POV

I run into the house and everyone looks at me as I grab my phone and call an ambulance. Emma hears me ask for an ambulance and runs out the front door to join Ant. Sy really has to hold onto Abi to stop her running out the door. As soon as I hang up I look at Abi. "Abi Lee will be ok hes a fighter. Now just need the ambulance to arrive and then he'll be getting the best care." I say whilst trying to remain calm.

Emmas POV

When Dunk phones for the ambulance I run outside. I join Ant who's holding a coat over Lees wounds. Hes semi conscious. "Lee bro dont go to sleep on me." I say and he looks at me. I can see the pain in his eyes. "Your gonna be ok." I say taking his hand and running a hand through his hair. Abi appears with Sy and she kneels down the other side and she takes his hand. "Abi talk to him Keep him awake." I say. I try not to cry. I look at Ant whos covered in blood. Lee really is bleeding badly. The ambulance arrives and I go with Abi in the back with lee. I hold her when hes taken to resus.
"Emz. I cant lose him." She says to me.
"you wont my brothers a fighter trust me your not going to lose him." I try to say it with as much conviction as we can. We sit in the relatives room in silence apart from her crying.

Sys POV

We head to the hospital following the ambulance. Greg drives us but at a slow speed so he can tell if we're being followed. We pull up at the hospital and run to the relatives room. A couple of people try to ask for autographs but I just smile and say not now im kinda busy. We walk into the relatives room as one group. Dunk immediately goes over to Emma and pulls her to him. I walk over to Abi and pull her to me.
"He'll be ok." I say and she looks at me.
"Emz said that a minute ago." She says. We sit there for what seems like hours. The door opens and a doctor walks in.
"Mr Ryan is in ICU he's heavily sedated. We removed the bullets and repaired his spleen and liver. We're monitering him very closely as he lost a lot of blood." He says.
"Would a couple of you like to see him?" He asks. We all look at one another.
"Abi you go hun after all hes gonna be a dad soon." Emma says whilst smiling weakly.
"Ok I will. Anyone else want to come?" She asks. I look at Emma.
"Emz hes your brother." i say to her but she looks at me.
"I'll go in later someone else can go in." She says and Ant offers to go in with Abi.

Ants POV

Abi and I head into ICU we are warned about all the machines and the noise they make but its still highly unnerving. Lee looks so pale and lifeless. Abi gasps and tears fall down her face. I pull her to me. "Talk to him." I say as we sit down.

Dunks POV

As soon as Abi and Ant have disappeared Emma crumbles. I pull her to me as my own tears fall. She sobs into my chest. "Its gonna be ok babe." I say and she pulls away slightly and looks at me.
"He looked so pale and in so much pain Duncan. I hated it." She says and I nod my head.
"Yeah but hes strong and he'll pull through he has to." I say. I look over at Sy but hes got his head in his hands. Emma notices and walks over to him.
"Sy?" She asks and he looks up. Hes crying to.
"Im just worried thats all. Wondering how much worse this is gonna get." He says and I nod my head. Emma and him hug and I join them in one group hug. Sy then disappears to get warm drinks and Emma leans heavily against me.
"Is this going to affect us?" She asks.
"No babe why should it?" I ask.
"I dont know my heads all over the place thats all." She says and i smile before wiping her tears away only for more to fall. I just hold her as she cries into my chest. I pray with all my might that Lee will pull through.

[Dopeyidiot]

Abi: I walk into the room where Lee is with Ant, ’Oh Lee’ I say as more tears fall down my face I feel myself begin to crumble but two protective arms wrap themselves around me.
‘he will be ok Abi’ Ant says as he pulls me to him I rest my head on his chest and sob
‘why?’ i ask looking up at Ant, knowing he didn’t have the answer
‘i don’t know darling, just sit and talk to him, tell him you’re here okies’ Ant says kissing my head he walks me over to the seat beside Lee’s , ‘ just sit and talk to him’ he says touching my shoulder he pulls a chair up and sits beside me. I look at lee’s pale face all life looking like it has been taken from him.
‘Lee babe it’s me abi, i’m here with Ant the others are in the waiting room they’ll probaely come and see you in a bit....’ my voice trails off as more tears fall again.
‘come on Abi just talk to him so that he knows your here’ Ant says rubbing my back.
‘please Lee wake up babe just tell us you’re alright please I can’t cope with out you Lee never have been able to you know that, please wake up for me I love you’ I say running my fingers through Lee’s blonde hair I lean over and kiss him on the lips.

Ant: ’thats it abi ur doing really well hun’ I say giving her a weak smile, I look at Lee he looks so frail something that i had never seen before in lee. Abi continues to talk to lee telling him how much he means to her and how she’s going to help him get through all this. i feel a tear fall down my face, it finally hit’s me that two of my best friends are hurting.
‘Lee please just give us a sign that your ok’ Abi says kissing Lee’s hand
‘he will when he’s ready Abs he just resting he’ll wake up when he’s ready.’ I say wiping a tear a way, after everything lee and Abi had been through why did this have to happen I thought to myself. here’s a knock at the door Simon comes in .
‘do you want me to take over for a bit go and get a coffee mate’ he says patting me on the back
‘thanks Sy look after her’ I say getting up looking at Abi who just stares at lee continuing to cry.

Sy: I go into Lee’s room and swap over with Ant, Emma said that she is not ready to see Lee yet and Dunk’s staying with her trying to keep her calm. I sit in the empty seat beside Abi, and place my arm around her waist.
‘ he will be okay Abi I promise’ I say looking at all the wires that are attached to Lee and only then it hits me how bad everything has become
‘I cant lose him Sy, why did this have to happen why Lee he’s never hurt anyone why does someone want to do this to him’ she say as she sobs
‘I don’t know Abi but they will get whoever’s done this. Just try and stay calm Abi for Lee’s sake and your’s and the baby;s ok. Lee will be ok you know he’s a fighter. ’ I say rubbing her back. We sit in silence for a moment when Lee starts to stir.
‘okay Lee that’s it wake up babe’ Abi says . i press the emergency button beside the bed. A nurse come in as Lee starts to awake.
‘Abi.....’ he says weakily the nurse pulls the tube out of his mouth and he continues to mumble, ‘where’s Abi what’s happened? Abi’ he starts to shout slightly and get restless
‘I’m here Lee’ she says ahe grips hold of his hand but the nurse asks me to move her back
‘come on let them check him over ok’ i say taking abi over to the corner of the room as a doctor comes in. Lee instantly becomes painkiy and starts saying ’ I want Abi i heard a bang is she ok Abi and the baby are the okay’ he says as he start to fidget and panicking more which makes Abi cry harder.
‘could you please leave whislt we try and stabilise mr ryan thank you’ a nurse says usurrying us out the room. I literally carry abi to the others in the waiting room, we enter and Abi crumbles again this time in pain....

Dunks POV

I rush over to Abi and Sy when Abi starts to cry from pain. "Ill get a nurse." I say before running out of the waiting room.

Sys POV

i smile as Dunk disappears. Emma comes rushing over and takes Abis hand. "Hun stay calm and it will be ok." Emma says and Abi smiles faintly.
"HEs awake but they want to stabilise him again as he wont calm down and it hurts." Abi sobs. Emma looks at me with pleading eyes and I can see the pain in them. "Calm her down please." She mouths so I sit holding Abi whilse she cries all the more. Dunk appears with a nurse and a doctor is behind the pair of them.
"Mr Ryan is now stable. So could someone please go see him whilst I check out Abi." The doctor says.
I watch as Abi looks at Emma. "Please." She says.
"I will hun but you relax and come through when you know everythings ok." Emma says hugging her. She then gets up and grabs Dunks hand and they disappear. The doctor lifts Abi into a wheelchair and I follow as they head to maternity. I leave Ant in the waiting room looking like a wreck. Its more than 2 people hurting. Lees my best mate. Well all the lads are we're one big family. Also you have to count Emma in as she is Lees sister and thats why she was such a wreck.

Emmas POV

I walk with Dunk into see Lee. He looks so pale and so weak its unbelievable to think that the guy lying in that bed is normally so full of energy. I try not to cry as I walk over to him. "Sis wheres Abi. All I heard was shots hows Abi and the baby?" He asks me.
"Lee bro calm down please." I say whilst blinking back the tears. "Abis gone to maternity to get checked out as shes had yet another twinge but thats probably due to being worried about you." I say as Dunk rests a hand on my shoulder. "Lee do you remember what happened?" I ask as his eyes fill with tears.
"Went to get something from the car then a gun went off and then it goes black." He says quietly. I take his hand.
"Abi will come through as soon as shes been checked out and thats a promise. I mean she hasnt left your side since you were brought in here." I say to him and he smiles faintly.

Dunks POV

Emma then looks away and says under her breath "un like me" before the tears fall. I pull her to me and hold her. I look at Lee who looks confused. "Emz go see Ant babe Ill stay with Lee till you get back." I say and she smiles before disappearing.
"Whats up with my sis?" Lee asks me.
"She's worried about you. Abi came through with Ant and then we had a big discussion as to who should sit with Abi and you next and Emma refused to come in as she couldnt face it." I say and I see the pain in his eyes.
"I am gonna be ok right?" HE asks.
"Course you are mate. I mean we all know your a fighter and you'll be out of here in no time." I say and he smiles.
"I guess its brought back the memories to Emma of Josh and Jules. Dunk look after her and Abi for me while Im in here please." He says to me.
"Course I will mate." I say before we fall into silence.

Ants POV

Emma appears in the doorway shes shaking. "Come on lets go get a coffee." I say taking her hand and leadingher to the canteen.
"Why Lee?" She asks em and I shake my head.
"I have no idea Emz I really dont have a clue." I say.
"SOrry Ant how are you coping?" She asks me and I shake my head she's unbelievable putting others first again.
"Im ok Emz now would you stop thinking of everyone else for a second and think about you. Are you coping?" I ask and she just breaks down. I pull her to me. "Let all the tears out Emz only way." I say whilst rubbing her back.
"Im worried about Lee and Abi and the unborn baby." She says to me.
"Emz you also need to worry about yourself now drink the coffee while its hot." I say and she smiles at me.
"Where would I be without friends like you?" She asks and I chuckle quietly.
"Dunno. Now come on lets go back to the waiting room maybe Abi'll be back." I say and she smiles. She seriously looks lost.

Abi: I get wheel down to maternity with Simon who has come with me,
‘Sy what’s happening I cant lose my baby’ I say clutching my stomach , with tears streaming down my face. A nurse wheels me into a private room on the maternity ward.
‘Abi listen to me, you are not going to lose your baby everything is going to be fine I promise’ Sy says taking my hands in his, he helps the nurse to move me into the bed.
‘how can you be so sure?’ I say before crying again as more pain rushes through my body.
‘cos I am’ Sy says kissing my forehead, The door opens and a familiar face enters
‘right Ms Baumann, Lets check you over shall we’ Dr Roberts says walking over to the bed ’how far gone are you know Abigail?’ he asks as he starts checking me over.
‘i’m coming up to five months’ I say wincing slightly as he touches my tummy, simon takes my hand and i squeeze it slightly.
‘is everything ok doctor’ Sy asks rubbing my hand to try and comfort me
‘I would like to do a couple of checks before i give Abi the all clear as this is the secound time this has happen, Abigail is it okay if i ask a personal question ifront of your friend?’ he asks looking at Sy
‘of course you can Simons one of Lee and I best friends go ahead, long as Si does not mind’ I say looking at Sy who smile at me
‘it’s fine ask and do what evers necessary to make sure abi and the baby are ok’ he says squeezing my hand gently
‘ok then Abi have you had any bleeding?’ Dr Roberts asks as he continues to examine me
‘no not since when i was rushed to hospital. Why, do you think i could be again?’ I say as a tear fals down my cheek, i look at Sy who has a concerned look on his face
‘what could happen if abi is bleeding’ sy asks, the doctor get the ultrasound machine out again and says
‘hopefully your nothing will happen first i would like to do another scan to see how the baby is laying cos if he is in an award position that could be the reason for the pain’ he gets the gel out and place it on my ever growing bump. he starts doing the scan and then after a few minuets he stops
‘is everything ok’ I ask looking at the screen
‘I don’t think that you have a bleed this time ms Baumann I think that the problem is that your baby has moved slightly and from what i can see i think he could be in the breached position which could be the reason for the pain. so there is nothing to worry about Abigail, but I do have to ask have you been stressed in the last 24 hours because that could of caused this’ he says wiping my tummy clean and gesturing for me to sit back up. i look at sy as tears start to fall again . sy spaeks up
‘Lee’s has been shot he’s in ICU down the corridor so that has not helped Abi at all that could have caused it’ he says looking away for a moment
‘i’m very sorry to hear that, everything s ok here so long as you take it easy Abi you can go back to lee now if you would like but please take it easy’ he says as I get up with the aid of simon , i find that the pain has started to go but the both insist that i saty in a wheelchair for the next couple of hours.
Dunk: I walk into Lees room with Emma we have decided that we will not tell Lee about Abi until we know that she is ok. We enter the room and Lee turn to face us with tears in his eyes Emma goes over to his bed and sits down beside him
‘Lee how you feeling?’ she says taking his hand
‘sore, i’ll be ok, where’s Abi?’ he asks looking to Emma ‘ sis are you alright hun?’ he asks
‘i’m fine is it ok if I leave you two boys I’m just going to get some fresh air do u mind Lee’ she ask standing up and walking to the door
‘no go ahead we’ll have a chat long as your ok sis’ Lee says smiling weakly at me
‘I’m fine lee I’ll be back in a bit ok’ Emma says walking out the door.

Lee: there’s a moment of silence then Dunk speaks up
‘Lee how you really feeling?’ he says looking me straight in the eyes
‘honestly I’m not sure I don’t understand how came to this Dunk i really don’t’ I say touching my side
‘you ok?’ dunk asks
‘yeah bit of pain that’s all it comes and goes. Dunk can I tell you something but you’ve got to promise not to freak out’ I say moving in the bed to try and get comfy
‘ok i promise’ he says smiling at me, I take a deep breath then say
‘I know who shot me...’

Emma: I walk outside and stand in the yard of the hospital, I stand to the side taking the fresh air I do my pink fleece up to keep warm. I get the feeling I’m being watched but don’t think anything of it until a face from the past appears by the side of me.
‘Emma Ryan’ a young man around 22 said placing his hand on my shoulder I look at him blankly until I realise who it is.
‘Darren..’ I say slightly surprised, what’s he doing here i thought to myself
‘sure is. Emma, sure is’ he says smirking slightly

Darren: I go over to Emma, Lee’s sister she looks upset but not that much must mean Lee pulled through my latest stunt oh well just have to think of something else to hurt him. Maybe the girlfriend but she is not out here but emma is so she will do. I think of plan, play the nice guy and then do what i do best hurt lee....

Lee: ’Lee you ‘ve got to tell the police or me at least’ Dunk says looking worried
‘it’s someone from my past.’ I say as tears build up slighty
‘who Lee’ Dunk says trying to take what i had just said in
‘it was a guy called Darren Brooks, I went to school with him, he’s and old mate of mine I don’t know why he’s done this to me’ I say getting slightly restless
‘dn’t worry mate he cant get to you in here. I’ll call Dan and get him to get Tom down here asap ok. don’t worry he wont hurt you or anyone else any more i promise’ Dunk says running out the room i guess to call dan.

Ant: Abi and Sy come back from maternity they explain that everything's ok and that Abi need to rest. We talk about Lee and disuses what we should do
‘my god has anyone called Dan and told him whats happened?’ Abi asks as she sits down beside me
‘umm I think Dunks doing it now actually, hang you can ask the man himself now’ I say pointing to Dunk who enters the waiting room and comes over to us
‘Dunk have you called Dan?’ sy asks, he nodds but looks very panicky
‘Dunk what;s happened’ Abi asks
‘Lee told me who shot him don’t worry abi i’ve called Dan he and Tom are on there way they’ll be half an hour.’ he says sitting down
‘hay where’s emma has she come back from her walk yet?’ Abi ask we all look at eachother blankly
‘i have not seen her where did she say she was going?’ I ask Dunk who stands back up
‘she said something about fresh air’ dunk says looking worried
‘and you let her go out on her own what were you thinking mate’ Sy says also standing up
‘you two stay here Dunk and I will go and look for her’ Go back and see Lee Abi ok’ Dunk says as the jog out the canteen Abi looks at me and starts to cry again.

Darrens POV

Getting Emma to talk to me was easy. I soon got out of her that Lee had been shot. I lied saying my girlfriend had been admitted. She walked with me to a bench and we sat there talking bout the old days. I sit there my hand in my pocket feeling the flick knife I always carry.
"So you and Lee still close?" I ask and she looks at me.
"As close as brother and sister can be." She says. I watch as she looks away and I seize my chance. Im gonna hurt Lee the only way I can when hes in there and his birds in there. Ill hurt his sister. I pull the knife from my pocket and flick the blade out and launch it into her side. I place a hand on her mouth as she starts to scream out. I pull the knife out and stab her repeatedly.

Sys POV

Dunk and I run outside. I spot a guy leaning over a woman and the arm movements. I yell out. Dunks behind me and the guy runs off. We run over and I realise immediately its Emma. I then run after the guy whos legging it. I am forced to stop though when my breathing becomes rugged. I turn and head back towards Duncan and Emma. Hes cradling her head in his lap sobbing. I look at him. "We need to get her in there." I say pointing but he doesnt seem to acknowledge the fact that Im there.So I bend down and pick Emma up and head into the hospital with her. Dunk follows eventually. Emmas barely conscious. A nurse takes her from me and I turn to Dunk whos collapsed down the wall. I sit down beside him.
"We cant tell Lee yet as this will crucify him but we're gonna have to tell Abi so come on." I say whilst helping him to his feet. We then head slowly to the canteen after I tell a nurse where we'll be.

Ants POV

I sit there talking to Abi. I keep telling her that Dunk and Sy will find Emma in no time. But shes worried and truth is so am I. I look up as Dunk and Sy walk towards the table. Duncans covered in blood. He sinks into a chair and Abi freaks. "Whats happened why all the blood?" She asks.
"Its Emma." Duncan says but stops when he breaks down into tears.
"Whats happened?" I ask.
"Looks like Darren beat us to finding her. The doctors are with her now. We cant tell Lee as it will upset him to much." Sy says. I sit there stunned and Abi starts to cry.
"What are we gonna do?" I ask and we all sit there thinking

Ant: ‘ Emma ‘s going to be ok Dunk, I just know it’ I say putting my arms around him
‘i...i don’t understand she just went outside for fresh air how could this happen....’ Abi’s voice trails off as she cries harder
‘i don’t either Abi she was bleeding really badly, why did this have to happen’ sy said pulling abi into a hug, he whispered something in her ear proberly telling her to stay calm cos of the baby.
‘omg what about Lee what we going to tell him, he can’t know it will destroy him’ Abi says trough her tears
‘Abi I want you and Sy to go and sit with Lee don’t tell him what’s hapened unless he asks where Emma is I will go with Dunk to A&E to see what’s happening with Emma ok’ I say looking at Sy he nods, Dunk and I get up and go through to A&E leaving abi and si in the canteen.

Lee: The nurse leaves after changing the dressing on my wound and Sy and Abi enter, Abi looks even more upset then she did before. I look at Sy and he look s like everything has been taken from him, he walks in behind Abi looking as if he was trying to hide from me.
‘What’s happen is everything ok?’ i ask as Abi looks at Sy
‘umm everything's fine babe’ Abi say as a tear fall down her face
‘so why aren't you coming over to me then ,Abi what's happened?’ i ask looking at Abi’s and then Sy’s face both have tears in their eyes, Sy finally walks from behind Abi and comes over to me revealing his white top now covered in blood.
‘what the fu.cks happened?’ I ask looking at sy’s top. Abi tries to speak but ends up crying harder instead she takes my hand a kisses it
‘Lee there’s no easy way to tell you this..’ he starts taking a deep breath
‘just tell me what’s happened’ i say looking at sy
‘Emma she’s been stabbed I’m sorry Lee . She’s in A&E now’ he says looking away
‘no....... not Emma , he did this to her didn’t he’ I say looking at Abi
‘we think so babe. She’s in the best care Lee she’ll be ok i promise’ Abi says as she moves her head closer to mine we kiss.
‘I’m just going to call your mum and Dan ,lee they don’t know about you or Emma i think that they should know. be back in a bit’ There's a loud slam of the door and we pull apart realising that Sy had stormed out.
‘whats her injurys’ I say a tears fall down my face
‘i’m not totally sure Lee they said somting about a ruptured spleen and a torn liver but I don’t know for sure Ant’s with Dunk now we’ll go and see if we can find out what’s happeing in a bit,‘Abi says stroking my hair
‘why did this have to happen’i say looing at abi with pleading eyes
I don’’t know babe please just relax Lee I’ll just go and check on Sy be back in a bit okies’ she says kissing me again then getting up. i touch her tummy. ‘long as he and Emma are going to be ok’ i say placing a kiss oh her hand
‘love you’ Abi say as she walks out the door

Abi: I walk out of Lee’s room, I look down the corridor and see Sy leaning against the wall I can tell he’s crying, i walk up to him and touch his shoulder as I do he falls to the floor sobbing.
‘oh Sy come here babe’ I say putting my arms around him pulling him close to me he starts to sob harder into my chest as i hug him
‘sorry’ he say looking at me
‘Simon you have nothing to be sorry for do you hear me’ I say moving his chin looking him in the eyes
‘but i’m ment to be the one looking after you not the one crying’ he say as more tears fall
‘there are no rules around here saying that you always have to be strong just let it all out Sy it will help I should know’ I say smiling weakly. Sy then crumbles even more. The tears flow and he opens up to me reviling how he is feeling.

Simon: Abi walks up to me and wraps her arms around me pulling me close to her I break down and sob into her chest grabbing hold of her arms.
‘I’m sorry’ i say looking up at her
‘don’t be just let it all out babe’ Abi says kissing my head
‘it’s just after everything that happened the hate mail, safe house then the shooting I didn’t think it could get any worse then Emma I cant understand it Abi why would some one want to do this to them’ I say wiping a tear from my eye
‘no one knows why this has happened Sy I wish I knew I wish we could of known all this was going to happen I cant stand to see my boyfreind and best freind like this it’s so unfair I’m just trying to get them through it’ Abi say taking a deep breath I sense she want’s to cry again but doesn’t.
‘I miss her you know’ I say looking at Abi who looks slightly puzzled
‘who Sy ?’ she says whilst rubbing my back
‘my baby girl, You being pregnant and you and Lee getting ready for your baby it’s just hit me that’s all. I havent seen my little girl in over four months Abs and I miss her so much’ I say wiping my eyes as more tears fall
‘I know you do and Ant he misses his daughter too, I’m sorry Sy’ Abi says as a tear falls from her eyes
‘for what?’ I ask
‘for not being there for you, we all should have known all this would be tough on you and Ant to it was ok for me I had Lee and Emma you didn’t have anyone except your friends, no family we should of known you would find it tough’ Abi says as she stand up
‘come on lets go find out how Emma’s doing’ I say getting up I hel[p Abi up and place an arm around her shoulders
‘she will be ok wont she?’ Abi asks
‘of course she will’ I say kissing her head we walk off and go to a&e.

[Dopeyidiot]

Sys POV

I follow Abi to A&E and I notice Ant using a payphone.Abi and I head to the relatives room where Dunk is sitting he looks how I feel. I walk over to him. "Bro how is hse?" I ask and he looks at me and Abi,
"No news yet why cant they tell me something?" HE asks.
"Well you no what they say no news is good news." I say trying my best to sound upbeat.

Ants POV

I walk back into the waiting room. "Sheila and Dan are on their way they are bringing Tom with them. Police are looking for this Darren guy so not long now." I say sitting down. I also phoned Lucy to find out how Emillie was.
"Sy why dont you go phone your daughter?" I ask and he looks at me.
"Ive just phoned Lucy and asked about Emilie and apparently shes fine. Go on I know you miss her." I say and he nods his head before disappearing. "Hows Lee?" I ask Abi and she looks at me.
"Worried cos Emma's been hurt. Hes scared about me too." She says and I give her a reasurring hug. The door opens and Sheila and Dan appear worry is etched over Sheila's face. She walks over to Abi and Dunk.
"hows my boy?" She asks.
"Awake and worried>" Abi says before crying again. Sheila hugs her to her.
"What about Emma?" SHeila asks looking round just as Sy reappears.
"Shes just come out of theatre and she can have visiters the doc just told me. Apparently shes gonna be ok. So Abi lets go tell Lee that shall we." Sy says with a smile. I watch as Abi and Sheila go to leave.
"Sy Ill go with them if you want." I say and he nods his head. I know he wants to see Emma for himself. I then follow the others to Lees room.

Dunks POV

Sy, Dan and I head to Emma's room. She looks paler than Lee did and they are still giving her a blood transfusion. I grab her hand. "babe please wake up. I need you hell i need you more than you'll ever know and I cant go on without you." I say. I feel a hand on my shoulder and its Dans.
"She'll be ok the Ryans are fighters and you know that. Also I need her to get better as she's the best PA Ive ever had." He says with tears in his eyes. Even Sys just trying to remain strong. I can tell though that he wants to bereak down. I just cant remain strong any more. I need Emma. I love her so much and I really need her. I hold her hand and watch her. The bleeping of the machines is so unnerving.

Sheilas POV

I head with Abi and Ant to see Lee. "ohh Lee." I say when I see him. I can see the worry an dpain in his eyes. I hug him gently. "So glad your ok." I say and he looks at me.
"Mum hows Emma?" HE asks and I answer him as best I can.
"Still unconscious but out of theatre it looks like shes gonna be ok. When she comes round and hears youve been this worried she'll rib you about it and you know it." I say to him. All the while Im trying to hold in my tears. My babies are in hospital through no fault of their own. Abi looks pale which probably means shes anxious which wont do the baby any good as for Duncan hes a wreck. I always knew he loved Emma but he really is worried. As for Sy and Ant I can see the pain there too. I sit listening to Lee, Abi and Ant talk whilst praying with all my might that everythings ok.

Abi: I sit with Ant in the privet room which the have now allocated us. One of the Doctors who is treating Lee arranged it for us as he thought it would be safer. Dunk and Sy are with Emma.
‘Emma will be ok you know’ Ant says pulling me into a hug
‘I hope so Ant I really can believe this has happened’ I say as I start to cry again
‘ssshh babe don’t cry please try and stay calm, it won’t do you or the little one any good if you get stressed will it’ Ant say placing a hand on my now rather large bump. We sit for a moment in silence when the door opens I look up to see Shelia Dan and Tom standing there, They all come in and Shelia comes over to us she kisses ant on the cheek and then pulls me into a hug
‘oh Abi’ she says as we hug, Dan walks over and hugs Ant
‘everything’s a mess’ I hear Ant say to Dan,
‘sshh mate everything's going to be ok,’ Dan says to him he then gives me a hug and place an arm around my waist ‘Shelia would like to go and see lee first as Emma’s just come out of theatre and Dunks with her.’ Dan says to Shelia, she nods and she and Ant walk out. I go to walk but Dan takes my arm and stops me
‘Abi’ he says making me look him in the eye
‘yes’ I say trying to smile
‘are you really ok?’ he asks letting go of my arm
‘well long as this little one, Lee and Emma are ok then I’m fine’ I say walking off Dans stops me
‘I asked if your alright not Lee, Emma or the baby, I want to know if your ok’ he says softly, I try not answer him but he shuts the door
‘I’m fine Dan I just want to see my boyfriend’ I say as tears start to fall
‘okay then but I want to talk to you later ok’ he say as opening the door we both walk out and go to see Lee

Dunk: An hour or so passes, Emma is still asleep. I continue to hold her hand and stroke her hair gently.
‘here you go and drink it this time’ Sy says passing me a coffee
‘yes sir’ I say smiling weakly
‘Emma’s going to be ok, she’s a fighter’ Sy says sitting down on a chair opposite
‘I know I just want her to give me a sign so that I know she’s ok’ I say picking her hand up and kissing it
‘she will do, it will just a take a litle time that’s all’ sy says smiling weakily at me. One of the macinces bleeps and i look oer to sy
‘it’s ok Dunk the doc said that they will do that, it’s a good sign’ he says taking a sip of his coffee and placing it back on the side table. We continue to sit in almost complete silence except for the machines, until there’s a knock on the door as abi enters.
‘How’s my girl doing?’ she says walking over to me kissing me on the cheek
‘she’s still sleeping they said she would be for a while something to do with the blood transfusion they gave her’ I say as abi places a hand on my shoulder ‘why arn’t you with Lee?’ i ask
‘I wanted to come and see Emma and also i thought it would be nice to leave Shelia and Lee alone for a while, Ant’s with dan before you ask’ she says going over to simon, who looks in a world of his own. ‘Sy have you called your girl yet?’ she asks he looks up to her and shakes his head
‘go and call her now then, we know how much you’ve missed her’ I say abi nods in agreemnet
‘okay long as you to will be okay for a bit’ he says getting up
‘we’ll all be fine go on if there’s any change will come and get you okay’ Abi say, Sy leaves, shutting the door quietly behind him.

Abi: Dunk sit talking for a few minuets when Emma starts to stir. Dunk looks at me smiling weakly. Emma turns her head and opens her eyes looking at Dunk.
‘hello you’ he says kissing her head
‘what happened?’ emma asks as she takes her mask off
‘tell her’ I say to Dunk he takes a deep breath and explains what happened to her
‘Emma when you went outside earlier you were hurt by someone’ he says as tears start to build up again, Emma turns her head and looks at me, she whispers something
‘Darren’
‘what was the Emma’ I say taking her hand
‘Darren, he came here it was him’ she says starting to cry
‘okay hun don’t worry the police are looking for him, you just rest ok’ i say rubbing her hand,
‘Lee, why you not wth Lee’ Emma mumbles, typical she’s just been stabed and still she’s worried about everyone else
‘cos your mums with him I thought it would be nice for them to be alone for a while’ I say as there another knock on the door.
‘come in’ Dunk says the door opens.
‘how my baby girl doing?’ Shelia says coming into the room
‘mum’ Emma says , i stand up and walk over to Shelia, you sit with Emma for a bit
‘Ant was asleep in the waiting room , and Dan and Sy were talking so..’ I stop Shelia mid sentance
‘it’s ok I’m going to go and see Lee now anyways you just stay here with Emma and Dunk ok’ I say walking to the door
‘see you later Emma’ I say before leaving and heading to lee’s room

Lee: ‘ Hello sleepy head’ Abi says as she walks in
‘Abi is...’ Ai stops me mid senatnce as she comes and sit’s on the chair beside the bed
‘everything’s ok your mum and Dunk are with Emma she’s come round talking asking aftre you’ Abi says taking my hand.
‘and your ok?’ I ask Abi leans over and kisses me
‘we’re both fine Lee’ she says stroking my hair and taking my hand with her other hand.
‘you sure’ I say moving slightly, wincing cos of the pain
‘are you still in pain Lee?’ Abi asks with a worried look on her face
‘it’ ok Abi I’ve just been given more pain realief so stop worring about me.’ i say smiling weakly
‘i cant stop worring Lee cos your my boyfriend and I love you it’s my job to be worried’ she says squezzing my hand, a little to hard for my liking I look at her a she smiles
‘what?’ I say looking at her
‘ummm it’s proberly nothing’ Abi says smiling slightly
‘go on tell me’ i say she stands up and sit her self on my bed ‘oh make yourself comfortable why don’t you’ I say jokingly
‘gives us your hand Lee’ she says i lift my hand up she takes it I place my other hand on her back rubbing it gently.
‘what you doing?’ I say as she puts my hand underneath her top placing it on her bump
‘can you feel it?’ she asks moving my hand to the left of her tummy. I rub my hand over her tummy until I suddenly feel a movement, I look at Abi and smile
‘I think someone saying hello to his daddy’ she says laughing ‘ooh’ Abi says still smiling
‘I felt that one’ I say as my hand moves slightly as there is more movement
‘so did I’ she says as we both laugh
‘well it seem our son knows when to make his presnce felt’ I say as Abi leans in to kiss me again
‘I’m glad he waited until you were awake though’ she says as the baby kicks again
‘me too’ I say as we kiss again. After a few minuets, he decides to stop kicking and Abi sits back down on the seat as a few familair faces enter the room.

Sheilas POV

I sit down next opposite Duncan taking Emmas other hand. "My angel at least your awake now." I say and she looks at me.
"Mum I dont understand it." She says quietly. I look at Dunk and then back at Emma.
"DCI Tom Barnaby wants to talk to you sweetie when your ready to." I say and she looks at me.
"Im scared to mum. Dont tell Lee Im scared though." She says and I smile.
"I wont to be honest I think hes scared to." I say and she smiles. I kiss her head. "Ill leave you two to talk and send Tom on in." I say before leaving. Both my kids are gonna be ok thats the main thing.

Emmas POV

I look at Dunk. "Im sorry I scared you." I say and he looks at me.
"You and your brother are as bad as each other." He says trying to joke. I try to move to semi sit but it hurts too much. I just want to hug Duncan and tell him that its ok as Im fine but it just hurts way too much.
"Please Dunk Im gonna be ok and it doesnt hurt that much." I lie well part of its true as it will be ok. I squeeze his hand and he smiles.
"Your a crap liar Emz and you know it your in agony arent you." HE says.
"Only when I try to move but you know me Im a fidget." I say and he smiles. The room door opens and TOm, Dan and Sy appear.
"Sy you ok?" I ask when I see the tears running down his face.
"Thank god your awake." He says.
"Ohhh its tears of joy. You implying youd miss me?" I ask and he looks daggers at me along with Dunk. "Look guys if you were lying in this bed youd be trying to lighten the atmosphere. I know that joke was crap but I hate seeing the sombre looks on your faces ok." I say as tears fall down my face. "Now look your crying has started me off." I say and they both smile.
"Emma can I ask you a couple of questions?| Tom asks.
"Well that was one so that leaves one." I say and he groans so does Dan.
"The Ryan humours back in action I see." Dan says and I look at him.
"Dan check on Abi for me only I cant do it myself and tell Lee that when hes allowed out of that room he has to get his butt in here and that its not his fault." I say and Dan nods his head before disappearing. I then look at Tom. "Go on they cant be that hard can they?" I ask and he smiles. I feel Dunk squeeze my hand. I'm shaking as really Im scared senseless.
"Weve got the cctv of the attack and we've arrested the guy we believe shot Lee and stabbed you but can you just to clarify name the guy for me?" Tom asks and I look at Dunk who nods his head.
"Darren Brooks." I say and he nods.
"Thas all for now I think." He says before leaving.

Dunks POV

"Emma its gonna be ok." I say as she suddenly starts crying again. "Im here and no one is ever gonna hurt you again I promise." I say I then gently hug her. Sy sits there before disappearing to see if Ants still asleep. I dont knowif things between emma and me will be ok as I still feel bad about this.
"Dunk its not your fault and i mean that." Emma says I pull back to look at her.
"Howd you know I was feeling guilty?" I ask and she looks at me.
"I know you Duncan and I love you so I can tell when your feeling low and stuff. But this wasnt your fault. I was talking to Darren I was taken in by his lies and I never saw it coming so please I dont want to lose you I need you." She says to me.
"You'll never lose me and I need you to babe. I so thought I was gonna lose you." I say and she looks at me.
"Never Duncan and thats a promise.Ill fight till the end and that aint for many years to come. Now I need sleep babe but please stay." She says and i look at her.
"Course I will now stop shaking as theres nothing to be scared of now." I say kissing her head. I watch as she falls asleep.

Lee: ‘wow this is amazing Abi’ I say as our baby kicks again
‘I know Lee I thought he’d stopped’ Abi says as I squeeze her hand that is placed on her bump.
‘well he’s a Ryan once they can do something they cant stop’ I say as we both laugh, i stroke abi’s tummy and we kiss again, we’re interrupted by a cough
‘I hope we’re not disturbing anything’ Dan says as he and Tom walk in
‘it’s ok the baby’s just kicked for the first time’ Abi says laughing and moving to sit on the seat
‘aww that’s great’ Dan says walking over to us and placing a hand on Abi’s shoulder
‘I’ll understand if you don’t want to do this now but is it ok if i ask you a few questions’ Tom asks looking at me then Abi
‘it’s fine to, we’ll leave you to it. I need the loo anyway’ Abi says getting up and kising me,’ be back in a bit’ she says smiling at me, she heads out and I look at Dan
‘ok Lee I’ll go check she’s ok’ he says laughing slightly.
‘thanks Dan’ I say as he shuts the door behind him.
‘Lee I thought you would like to know that Darren’s been arrested and will be charged’ Tom says i nod and he continues to ask me questions.

Abi: I walk out of the toilets to see Dan waiting for me,
‘are you ok?’ he asks as we start walking back to Lee’s room
‘fine just find i need the toilet about 50 times a day that’s all’ i say smiling
‘come on Abi I know you to well what’s the matter?’ Dan asks placing an arm around my shoulder
‘I’m just missing my parents that’s all’ I say smiling weakly
‘aww when did you last speak to them?’ Dan asks as we walk along the corridor
‘about 4 months ago’ I say looking down to the ground Dan holts and says
‘they don’t know your pregant do they?’ , I shake my head and say
‘no, I haven’t had chance to tell them Dads been in the states and with the whole stalker thing I just haven’t had chance to tell them’ i say as a tear falls down my face, maybe only now have i realised that i miss them
‘does Lee know?’ dan asks knowing that Lee would not be impressed
‘no, he would be so annoyed if he knew i had not told them, i wanted to but with everyhting that’s happened i just haven’t had the chance’ I say as Dan pulls me into a hug
‘aww Abi, listen to me go to Sy & Ant there’s a phone in there call your mum please’ he says as he walks me along to the room
‘but, what about Lee I said i would be back in a minuet’ I say pointing over to the door to lee’s room
‘look I’m sure Lee would rather you call your parents and then go back to him go on it wont take you long’ Dan says opening the door to the privet room. I go in to see that Ant is still fast asleep.


Sy: ‘everything ok?’ I ask as Abi and dan enter the room
‘yeah Abi’s just calling her parents you want to come and see lee with me for a bit’ Dan whispers so not to wake Ant
‘sure. You be ok Abi?’ I ask walking past her touching her tummy
‘we’ll be fine, don’t know about him though’ Abi says pointing to Ant who starts mumbling a few words then turns over continuing sleeping.
‘he away with the fairies, well come and check on you in a bit ok’ I say kissing Abi on the cheek
‘ok’ she says going to the pay phone.

Lee: Sy and Dan enter my room
‘how you doing bruv?’ Sy asks as he comes and sits down with Dan
‘I’m better thanks, is Abi ok?’ I ask, Dan and Sy laugh, ‘what?’ I say confused
‘that’s a record, 6 times in a row’ Sy says laughing
‘everytime someone walks in here that’s the first thing you ask?’ Dan say smiling at me
‘well she is my girlfriend carrying our baby i think i can ask’ I say laughing slightly not a good thing to do as pain rushes through my body
‘you ok?’ sy asks
‘im fine just don’t make me laugh ok’ I say moving to get comfy ‘is ems ok?’ i ask
‘she’s fine your mums with her, she’s been asking after you’ Dan says standing up and going over to the window,
‘hay Dan see the jacket there’ I say pointing to some clothes on a chair
‘what this one?’ he asks picking up the top that i had on when i was shot, it had been cleaned up and brought back to me, I had asked one of the nurses to put something back in it.
‘yeah that’s the one can you open the inside pocket please’ I say as Sy looks at me as if to say what the hell.
‘sure there’s a box in it want me to pass it to you?’ Dan asks walking back over to me
‘yeah please, few it’s still in there’ I say laughing slightly
‘okay I’m confused mate what’s going on?’ Sy says looking at the small red box
‘right you know before I got shot Abi asked me to go and get some papers out of the car’ I look at sy and he nods ‘ well i didn’t go to her car i went to the car that brought us back, I planned for it to wait so that i could collect something with out you guys knowing, anyways this is what I collected’ I say smiling as I open the little red box
‘crikey Lee’ Dan says looking at the now open box
‘is that what I think it is’ Sy says looking slightly surprised
‘oi don’t look so shocked you’ I say laughing slightly. ‘ so do you think she’ll say yes?’ i ask dan and Sy
‘there’s only one way to find out we’ll go and get her now’ Sy says jumping from his seat and walking out the door, Dan pats me on the shoulder and follows him, after a few minuets Abi enters.
‘what’s the matter with Sy he was jumping up and down saying you needed to see me’ Abi says as she comes in laughing slightly
‘you know what they say you’ve always got to watch the quiet ones’ I say fiddling with the box that was now placed firmly in my hand
‘so what does my boyfriend want then?’ Abi asks as she comes over and sits beside me
‘i ummm I want to ask you something’ I say slightly uneasy
‘go on then, why you looking so scared?’ Abi says giggling, i ignore the comment and take a deep breath ’ Lee are you ok’ she ask looking concerned
‘I’m fine, and I ’ll be better than fine if you marry me’ I say looking Abi deep in the eyes, she smiles and says
‘say that again’
‘Abigail Baumann will you marry me?’ I say smiling and taking her hand,

‘I love you too’ Abi says as we hug.

Ants POV

I wake up with severe cramp in my neck. I see Sheila sitting there crying.
"Whats happened?" I ask and she looks at me.
"This Ant is tears f joy." She says.
"Huh?"
"Emmas awake. Go see her." She says so I hug her before heading to Emmas room.
"Hey stranger." I say when she looks at me.

"you woke then." Dunk says and I blush.
"I was tired leave me alone." I say and Emma giggles before wincing.
"ok I cant laugh, I cant move to get comfy and I have needles in my arm. These pillows are stupid and I really need to walk as I have cramp in my legs but it hurts to move." Emma says and I look at her then Dunk.
"Cant they give you some pain relief.

"Emz other than the fact it hurts are you ok?" i ask.
"Yep Abis baby kicked and they have arrested Darren so Im happy." She says to me. "Come here and give me a hug ant." she says to me. I walk over and gingerly hug her.

Sys POV

I stand in Lees room with Dan. "Shall I go tell the others the good news?" I ask and Abi looks at me.
"In a minute or two." She replies. Lee cant stop grinning which is slightly annoying.

Abi: Simon offers to go and tell the others the good news but I ask him to wait a while, Dan gives Lee and I hugs and says he needs to make a call, he leaves the room. Leaving Simon, lee and I alone. I notice how withdrawn Sy looks, I lean over and kiss Lee.
‘Lee babe, we’ll leave you to rest for a bit try and get some sleep ok, Sy and I are going to get a coffee ok, leave you to sleep’ I say as Lee pulls me in for a kiss we do so, then I stand up and walk over to Sy who’s standing at the door.
‘okay see you later Abi’ Lee says as we walk out I turn back and smile at him before shutting the door behind me.
‘come on you, me thinks you need a chat.’ I say to sy as I link arms with him
‘but.’ he says i top him in his tracks
‘no buts Sy, one drink and a break from hospital rooms it will do you good’ I say as we walk down the corridor to the canteen. We get some drinks and walk over to a table in the corner.
‘ I’m ok Abi’ Sy says as he stirs his coffee
‘no your not, your missing your daughter have you rung her yet?’ I ask him.
‘not yet’ he says shyly turning away from me
‘go and call her, I’m sure she’s missing you and it will do you good to talk to her ok’ I say getting up, putting my hand out
‘now?’ Sy says laughing
‘yes now, and whilst your doing that I’m going to see if Shelia has arrived ok, so come on’ I says as Sy takes my hand and we walk back to the privet room

Shelia: I arrive at the hospital and am taken to the privet room that I know the guys have been using. I walk in to see Ant in there on the phone, I wave to him and he smiles.
‘bye bye darling daddy loves you’ he says blowing kisses down the phone, he the hangs up.
‘talking to Emilie, how is she?’ I ask as at walks over to me and we hug

‘hello you two’ I say, as they walk over to me sy kisses me on the cheek
‘Hi Shelia’ the both say as Abi and I hug,
‘your two are on the mend as they say, Emma’s got pins and needles in her legs, but they said it;s nothing to worry about and Lee well Lee’s almost back to his old self’ Sy says sitting down by Ant
‘actually Lee and I have something to tell you so do you want to come and see him with me?’ Abi asks as she walks over to Sy, she touches his shoulder and says ‘ call her’ He smiles and then, we both head off to see Lee

‘Abs why don’t you call your mum and tell her the good news hay’ I say rubbing her back she gets up kisses me, hugs mum and says
‘be back in a bit’ Abi the leaves leaving mum and i alone

Abi: I go back into the privet room and go to the phone that’s been set up for us, i push in the numbers and call home...
‘Hi mum it’s me’ I say
‘Hi love haven’t heard from you in a while, hows the safe house?’ she asks. You see I haven’t spoken to my mum since we moved into the safe house, my dads been away on business and after i told her about Lee being stalked, I hadn’t spoken to her since as she went to the states to see Dad. anyways back to the call.
‘ok, umm mum I need to tell you something , but first you need to know that everyone's okay now and we are all safe’ I say taking a breath
‘okay love so what you want to tell me then?’ she asks
‘umm where to start ok. firstly Lee was shot and Emma was stabbed they are both on the mend now though I’m calling from the hospital now’ I say waiting for her to speak
‘ok Abi long as Lee and Emma are going to be ok I can understand why you haven't called.’ she says sounding understanding about the situation
‘there’s something else as well’ I say
‘ok hopefully some good news Abi’ mum says trying to sound positive but knowing my she’s gone into slight shock
‘yeah it brilliant news, mum I’m pregnant 5 months to be precise’ I waiting for her response
‘aww love I’m so happy for you and Lee of course, I;m sure your both thrilled. Do you know what your having?’ she ask, I sense she wants to cry but hold back
‘yes we’re having a boy and we’re both delighted about it’ I say giggling slightly
‘aww that’s great Abi, a grandson your father will be so happy another person he can brainwash’ she says we both laugh, as we know she’s talking about football. my father brainwashed me into loving football and Spurs to be precise, and that’s the reason i work as the Tottenham players agent now.
‘I know, I got a job out of it though so it cant be a bad thing.’ I say placing a hand on my bump.
‘sure isn’t Abi, so any more news that I need to know?’ she says sounding happy

"Thanx Emma thats just what I wanted to hear. I mean what do you expect Ive been worried."
"Duncan I know that but Im fine so you can quit worrying about me. Go get a drink or something or just some fresh air and you could get me a magazine only Im bored." She says and I look at her.
"My company that bad?" I ask and she looks at me.
"No its not its just I like to read the gossip on Dans bands and as Im sat here I may as well be doing something as its normally that heps point out problems so please." She says and I relent.
"Ok but Ill be back in 20 minutes tops." I say kissing her head.

"Ok spill." I say and Abi looks at me.
"Lee and I are now engaged."
"Awwwwwww thats great news girl." I say before hugging her.

Ants POV

"Ill go sit with Emma again. Sy you coming?" I ask but he shakes his head.
"Gonna go with Dunk to sort somit." He says and I look at Abi and she nods her head. We both head through to Emmas room.
"Hey." She says whilst moving.
"you mean you can move now without it hurting?" I ask and she looks at me.
"Not really but they gave me more meds so Im comfortable." She replies. "Whats with all the grinning. Have I missed something?"
"You could say that hun Lee and I got engaged." Abi tells her.
"aww hun thats great. Now that means your gonna be my sister-in-law but youve been my sister for years." Emma says to her.
"you and your mum say the same thing in a round about way."
"Yeah well I can just imagine the look on Lees face. He must be so made up about all this."
"Yeah he is and Im gonna go back to him and let him no your happy for us." She says before disappearing.
"You really ok?" I ask Emma.
"Quit asking would you and just sit down only your kinda towering over me and thats scary." She says so I sit on the edge of the bed.
"That better?"
"Definately. I can see the worry lines on your face now." She teases.
"Well you and your brother havent exactly made it easy for the rest of us have you?"
"hey not my fault." She replies in a jokey tone although I know Ive hit a nerve.
"Sorry babe me and my big feet I need to stop putting them in my mouth."
"Your alright ant your just telling it as it is and I respect you for that. You got any cards?" She asks and I produce the pack that Dan brought in and we sit playing rummie. I swear she cheats!

Sys POV

Dunk and I head to the hospital shop so he can buy the magazines Emma wants.
"When are you gonna pop the question to Emma. I mean I know youve got the ring." I sya and he looks at me.
"im scared she'll say no. Does that sound stupid?" He asks.
"Nah mate normal but she wouldnt say no as she loves you to much any fool can see that." I reply and Dunk laughs.
"So Im a fool." He says and I nod my head.
"Yep you are mate a holiday great biig fool but we all love ya for it." I say before picking up a bar of chocolate and paying for it.
"Ill ask her when I get back to her room. But I want to ask her mum first so can we go to lees room so I can ask Sheila." HE asks.
"your determined to do this the old fashioned way arent you?" I ask and he nods his head. We pay for everything else and head to Lees room.

Lees POV

Sy and Dunk appear in the doorway. "Lee mate congrats." Dunk says to me.
"Cheers bro." I reply.
"sheila can I ask you for you permission on something?" Dunk asks and I look at him weirdly.
"What do you need my mums permission for your an adult." I say and Abi playfully hits me.
"Go on." Mum replies.
"Will you allow me to ask your daughter to become my wife?" He asks.
"Course I will. You didnt need my permission to do that just go ask her." Mum replies.
"Duncan she'll say yes. As she loves you so much wild horses wont drag her away." I say to him and he smiles.
"Nice to know you approve to." HE says before leaving with Sy.

Ant: Three weeks pass and the press start to cotton on to the fact that we haven’t been around much, Lee and Emma are still both in hospital and are recovering well. Dunk and Abi have also been staying at the hospital in the privet rooms with their partners. Dunk still hasn’t proposed to Emma as he has decided to wait till she is out of hospital so that he can do it properly. Sy and I have been staying in a local hotel under code names so that we would be safe. Dan has asked us to go to the hospital as he has some news for us all, Lee is now able to move about although he has to stay in a wheelchair for the time being. Simon and I walk up the corridor into Emma’s room, we hear laughing coming from it something that hasn’t been heard for a long time.
‘what’s the hysterics for?’ I say as we walk into the room,
‘the little guy’s been kicking again’ Dunk says beckoning us in
‘aww bless’ I say hugging Dunk then Emma ’how are you babe?’ I ask her
‘I’m doing really well, the docs reckon that i might be able to get out of here in a couple of days’ Emma says as she hugs Sy. I walk over to Abi and Lee ‘and you three?’ I say kissing Abi on the cheek and touching her bump
‘we’re doing really well aren’t we Lee?’ Abi says as she hugs Sy
‘we sure are been told that Emma and I can get out of here once we have found somewhere to live’ Lee says taking Abi’s hand

Sy: I hear Lee mention places to live, that’s part of the reason for our visit today we have surprise for the them, Dunk and Abi already know about it but it been mine and Ant’s little plan. So whilst the have been in hospital we have been looking at houses wand have successfully found three all in the same road may sound sad but we all still want to live close to each other. All three of the houses have been brought and when Emma and Lee are able to leave hospital they can move in straight away.
‘funny you should say that mate’ I say getting the details of the houses out m back pocket
‘we’ve all been looking at houses and well we’ve brought three of them’ I say passing the details of Lee house to him and Emma’s to her. The both laugh and Emma says
‘crikey you four have been busy’
‘four bedroom, two en-suite, large kitchen diner, and massive a garden and lounge, sounds amazing’ Lee says reading the details
‘you approve,?’ Abi asks Lee as she sits beside him on a chair
‘I sure do babe it says that the main en-suit room has a linking door to the smallest room, that should be his nursery’ he says placing a hand on Abi’s tummy
‘that’s exactly what Abi said’ ant says laughing. There’s a knock at the door and Dan, Tom walks in.
‘Morning’ Dans says as they enter
‘hi’ everyone says together
‘have you got any news?’ Emma asks moving to sit up
‘sure have Tom will explain’ Dan says patting Tom on the back as he walks forward
‘right, the news is that Darren has been charged with two accounts of attempted murder and stalking so he will remain in custody until his trial in 4 months time.’ Tom says as he and dan both sit down
‘and the chances of him going down?’ Dunk asks pulling Emma closer to him
‘very good, there’s lots of evidence when we searched his house it was full of cutting and photos and other things that proved it was him’ Tom informs us

Dunk: Tom tells us how there will be a trial in 4 months time, I pull Emma closer to me as I sense that she’s slightly nervy
‘hang on a minuet did you just say 4months time?’ lee asks with a look upon his face as though he’s thinking
‘yes I did the trial will be in 4 months time, is that a problem?’ Tom asks, Lee laughs slightly, as he rubs abi’s back
‘it could well be’ he says Ant and I look at each other confused
‘why mate?’ Ant asks
‘well abi’s due then and that means she will be heavily pregnant or may well give birth during the trial’ lee says kissing Abi
‘oh right’ Tom says looking at some notes
‘but we’ll work round that Lee the main thing is that in 4 months time there will be a trial and that animal will rot in jail’ Abi says stroking Lee’s hair
‘but.. I’ Abi stops Lee
‘no but’s babe this trial will go ahead in 4 months time and no matter what I will be there with you and Emma every step of the way. Let’s just concentrate on moving to our new home and getting everything ready for the baby and not worry if i am or am not due around the same time of the trial ok’ she says touching lee’s face and kissing him on the lips, she pulls away and he says
‘ok, whatever my fiancee says’ we all laugh.
‘good good, so we’ll have to go over your statements nearer the time Dans got you both a solicitor soughed and all of you will give evidence’ Tom says passing Dan some paper work
all of us?’ lee questions, abi shakes her head
‘yes all of us that does include me so don’t go off on one ok Lee’ she says
‘ok I wont but i don’t want you to over do it or anything’ he says looking at Abi
‘I wont but i will be giving evidence so no arguments ok’ ahe says kissing him on the forehead.
‘well that’s all from us speak to you all when you have settled into your new homes. You’ve got my number if any of you have any questions, so dont hesitate to call at anytime, see you all soon’ Tom says going to the door, Dan nods at us and they both leave after a few minuets Dan walks in this time with two Doctors one that’s been treating lee and Emma and one from maternity that’s been treating Abi

*A FEW DAYS LATER*

Emmas POV

Thank god for that the docs are letting Lee and I leave hospital. Ive never been so glad to get out of somewhere in all my life. Downside though is the fact that I have to come back in 2 days for a check up. I grab Dunks hand and he turns to look at me.
"You ok?" he asks with that worried look. I notice Lee, Abi, Ant and Sy also shoot me the same look.
"Isnt there another way out of this hospital?" I ask and Dunk hugs me as I start to shake. I recognise the entrance up ahead as the place where I met Darren.
"Unfortunately not the rest are fire exits but all of us are here and hes in jail." Sy says and I look at him.
"I know that but it doesnt stop the memories." I say as we all walk out of the hospital. I feel Dunk squeeze my hand reasurringly. We all climb into a car and head to our new houses.

Dunks POV

Ive planned it so the engagement ring is one of the presents she'll get when we get to our new home. Just gotta hope she'll say yes. The car stops and we all get out. Ive invited the others to join us as I want them to be there when I pop the question. We all head in and on into the lounge. I watch as Emma stands there stunned.
"This place is even better than the property details said." She says and I walk over to her.
"Good Im glad to hear that. Now erm... theres something I want to ask you." I say before sinking to one knee and grabbing the ring from the table. "Will you Emma Ryan do me the honour of becoming my wife?" I ask and she just stares at me. Shes gonna say no I just know it.
"Sis say something." Lee says whilst gently prodding her. I notice tears form in her eyes. Ive really blown it.
"Of course I will." She says before hugging me tightly. Thank god for that is all I can think. I gently place the ring on her finger and she smiles. Ant appears with the champagne and OJ and we all celebrate.

Sy: ‘congratulations you two, see told you she would say yes didn’t I’ I say putting an arm around Dunk
‘there’s no need to be so smug Webbe’ Dunk says as we hug, I go and kiss Emma on the cheek, and say
‘I am really happy for you babe’
‘thanks Sy, for everything’ I hug her and Ant comes in with Champagne, oh and OJ, for Emma, lee and Abi.
‘I’m so happy for you sis’ Lee says hugging Emma, he and Dunk hug, ‘look after her for me’ he says
‘of course I will’ Dunk says to him smiling at Emma who’s hugging Abi.
‘Right I think we should go down to ours now, I think Lee needs some rest. We’ll see you tomorrow ok’ Abi says hugging Dunk
‘yes of course and I guess you want to inspect your new home as well’ Dunk says to her
‘sure do mate we’ll see you lot later ok’ lee says going to the door, Ant and I also leave to investigate our new home.

Lee: Abi and I walk down a couple of houses , don’t know if it was such a good idea us all living so close but I’m sure we will enjoy it. We walk to the front door, I wrap my arms around Abi’s waist ‘wish i could carry you over the thresh hold babe’
‘don’t be silly Lee, a, your still recovering and b, even if you were totally fit there’s the ever so slight problem of our baby’ she says laughing slightly, she opens the door and we walk in I shut the door behind me. I look around for a moment.
‘it’s bigger than I expected, it bigger then next Ems anyway’ I say looking around. Abi walks a head and into one of the rooms. I see that Johnny has already been here and put our over night bags and some boxes in the corner near the lounge, i walk up to them to find a note on one of the boxes.
“ To Abi & lee I hope u like your new home. Johnny ps there's a surprise upstairs”
‘Abs Johnny left us a note he says to look upstairs’ I say, already knowing what is upstairs I wait , as Abi comes out of the kitchen
‘ok then let’s go and look’ she says I take her hand and we go up stairs.

Abi: we go upstairs and see that there is a note on one of the doors. I pull it off and read it
‘from Johnny?’ Lee asks as he places an arm around my waist
‘yep, it says, there should be everything you need to make the perfect nursery for your son I hope the colour etc are ok Johnny’ I stop and pass the note to lee.
‘shall we go in then?’ Lee says looking at the door handle. I open the door and go in. For a moment we stand in silence looking round the room. It’s already been decorated, the walls a sky blue with a stars stencilled randomly on the tops of the wall.
‘look’ Lee says pointing to the ceiling, I do and to my surprise this has also been painted light blue with clouds painted on to
‘wow. It’s beautiful. How did he?..’ I’m stopped by Lee, he places a finger on my lips and smiles
‘cos you told him too’ I say kissing his finger, he nods his head. ’thank you’ I say as I pull him in for a kiss.
‘there’s one last surprise, look round the wall’ he says I look round the space that i hadn’t noticed.
‘aww Lee’ I say as tears build in my ears, I walk over to the beautifully placed crib the one that I had seen in the shop with Emma all those months ago.
‘is it the right one?’ he asks as we walk over to the crib. I touch the wooden frame and soft white covers.
‘it sure is, how did you?, when did you?’ I say looking at Lee surprised
‘I spoke to Johnny when you were in the canteen one of the days, I arranged it all with him, you see I was going to get him to do the safe house but, he let slip about us moving into new homes’ I stop lee
‘so you knew when I showed you the house details that we were already moving here?’ I ask him. He nods his head and rubs my back
‘I sure did, so do you like our son’s room then?’ Lee asks as he wraps his arms around me again. I take his hands in my
‘I love it Lee, and I love you. I says turning around so that we could kiss again


Dunk: Two days pass and we’re all settling into our new homes, Abi was thrilled with lee’s surprise which none of us knew about. I make the finishing touches to Emma’s breakfast and go upstairs with a tray. I walk in to see that Emma's already awake
‘morning babe did you sleep ok’ I ask already knowing the answer
‘better then yesterday.’ she says sitting up smiling weakly. Emma had been suffering from nightmares and also has been on regular pain relief which means she awakes in the night. I pass he the tray she takes the orange juice and take a sip
‘here you go’ i say passing her two tablets
‘thanks’ she says as she takes them. I leave her to eat and go take a shower as today the boys and i are doing are first tv appearance since we went to the safe house and lee and Emma's accidents

Ant: We arrive at the TRL studio’s via a blacked out car Emma and Abi are with us, we head straight to our dressing room were, the two girls will stay and watch the interview via a monitor in the room. We sit chatting for about 5 minuets when the presenter Dave Berry walks in. ‘I hope I’m not disturbing you lot’ he says
‘course not mate, good to see ya’ I say shaking his hand, he shakes Sy’ and Dunks, then walks over to Emma Lee and Abi who are sitting on the sofa.
‘It’s good to see you so well Lee’ Dave says shaking Lee’s hand
‘thanks mate it’s good to be back, can’t wait to get out there and see some of the fans’ Lee says placing his arm around Abi.
‘and how are you Emma I hope your better now’ he says kissing her on the cheek
‘yeah I’m getting there, thanks for asking Dave’ she says looking over to Dunk for reassurance,
‘and you Abi I hear congratulations are in store for you oh and Lee of course.’ he says kissing Abi on the cheek
‘aww thanks Dave’ she says touching her bump
‘so how far gone are you now Abi?’ Dave asks
‘I’m coming up to 6 months now, so there’s not long to go now’ Abi says as Lee strokes her tummy
‘3 months, and we cant wait’ Lee adds kissing Abi
‘well i’m glad to see you all so happy, see you lads in about 5 ok’ he says going out the door
‘cool’ the lads shout, they then get ready and walk out the dressing room waiting for there cue

[Dopeyidiot]

Lees POV

We all walk out onto the TRL set and sit on the sofa next to Dave. "I want you all to welcome back Blue who haven't been around for a while." Dave says and he looks at us. "I gather you all want to tell your fans where youve been." He says. Sy nods his head and looks at me.
"We havent been around so as to protect us." Ant says.
"Yeah we were taken to a safe house after I got some rather nasty letters. So it was us four and my sister and my girlfriend Abi and our unborn child in a safe house to protect us." I say. All the memories start to come flooding back. Dunk looks at me and I continue. "One day a few weeks after we had recorded our latest single I went out to the car and I was shot." I say but I cant continue. Dunk does the usual big brother best mate thing and hugs me as usual then Sy takes over the talking.
"Whilst Lee was in hospital Abi was left to cope with being pregnant on her own. The rest of us were there for support staying in the hospital with Lee under police guard. Anyway the pshyco managed to stab Emma in the hospital grounds. So we were all torn at the seams not knowing who's bed to sit by kinda thing." Sy says and I look at him and smile.

Emmas POV

I sit with Abi backstage and the look on her face says it all. "Abi the worst is over. You and Lee youre gonna have a gorgous son so quit worrying about him." I say and she looks at me.
"How'd you know I was?" She asks and I smile.
"Female intuition." I say before rummaging in my bag for the next lot of pain meds. The sooner I can stop taking them the better also the sooner the nightmares end the sooner ill be able to move on. No scrap that the sooner we'll all be able to move on.

Dunks POV

I let Sy finish his bit then I continue. "anyway just over 5 days ago Lee and Emma were discharged so we're all back together as a band. We were never gonna go anywhere and because of this we wanted our fans to be the first to know about my engagement to Emma." I say.
"And mine to Abi." Lee says. I watch as Dave smiles and the fans in the audience do to. It beats the gasps we had earlier.
"Your also gonna perform your new single Breathe Easy. I gather it has a special meaning to you Lee." Dave says.

Ants POV

"It has a meaning to all of us now a greater meaning than anyone can ever understand. These past few months have been torture for us. We've all realised just how precious life is." I say and Lee nods his head.
"Yep. Anyways I wrote the song when I was much younger it was after 2 close friends of mine died. I wrote it in memory of them." Lee says.
"I gather someone else heard it before they were supposed to." Dave says.
"Yep Emma heard it and immediately knew who it was about. Now the rest of us can see who else it coulda been about to." Sy says. We then get up ready to perform the song. Lee though has to take it easy during the performance.

Abis POV

We watch the performance on the monitor its great. The guys honesty out there. Lee talking so openly about the shooting only makes me love him more. The finish their performance and come backstage with Dave. Its only then I notice Emma has kinda disappeared. I pick up the note on the table. *Didnt want to sidetrack you but I really needed the loo. Ill be backin no time* I cant help but smile. Lee pulls me to him.
"Wheres Emz gone?" He asks.
"Ladies room." I say before hugging the others and congratulating them on their performance.

Dunks POV

Emma reappears in the doorway. "So what did you think of our performance?" I ask and she looks at me.
"It was really good and guys your honesty with the fans it was..." She stops unable to carry on. I walk over and pull her to me.
"Its ok." I say.
"Hows it ok?" She asks and I look at the others for support.
"Emz what is it?" Lee asks her.
"I cant burden you. Abi needs you and so does your unborn child. I'm fine just leave it will you." She snaps. Sy then walks over with Dave. Daves been a mate since Blue set out.
"Emma talk to us." Sy says and Emma looks at him.
"You want honesty?" She asks and we all nod our heads.
"Ok I didnt see all the performance. I was too busy trying not to hyperventilate and panic. I kept expecting Darren to come bursting in again. Where ever I look I see his face close my eyes he's there. The pain killers dont touch the memories and they sure as hell dont touch the pain so tell me is his going to prison gonna bring justice?" She asks but none of us answer as we dont know what to say. I just hold her as her tears fall. Her strength and composure gone.
"Babe hes not gonna hurt you again as Im here." I say Sy hugs her to. We then sit in silence waiting for the car to take us home.

*3 months later* - *Trial: Day 1*

Dunk: Today is the first day of the trial, A car arrives at mine and Emma’s we get in a head to Abi and Lee’s, we both get out and go to the door. We wait a moment and Abi opens up, she looks tired and rather pale, she lets us in. Emma goes into the lounge
‘Abi are you ok hun?’ I ask her quietly in her ear so that Emma can’t hear
‘fine, don’t worry about me lets just get Lee and Emma through trial ok’ she says as we hug
‘just promise if you don’t feel well you tell us, some one can bring you home if your not up to it’ I say knowing that the last thing that Abi or Lee for that matter need is for Abi to have problems with the baby.
‘i promise ok. But i’m fine I’ll go and get Lee the we can go ok’ she say going upstairs to get lee. Emma

Emma: Lee comes down the stairs with Abi dressed in a suit and tie. I look at him and smile weakly,
‘it will be ok, we can get through this you know’ He says hugging me, I can tell by his voice he is uncertain about what he is saying
‘I know’ I say kissing him on the cheek, Dunk walks in and says
‘Tom’s here you two ready?’ he asks walking over to me placing an arm around my waist, I nod and the four of us walk out to the blacked out people car. We get in and Tom who’s driving says, ’ we still have to go through the front of the court, there will be press there so please be aware of that. I want Emma and Dunk too get out first then Lee and Abi I will walk with you for extra protection for obvious reasons’ he says taking a quick glance of Abi.
‘i’m 8 months pregnant i’m not and invalid you know’ she says smiling so that we know she’ joking
‘we only want to protect you babe’ Lee says kissing Abi on the lips. After a 15 minuet drive with the aid of police escort we arrive at court. there is a large crowd of journalist and media people waiting outside
‘you 4 ready, Dan, Ant, Sy and Shelia are waiting inside for you’ he looks at Dunk and Lee as a bloke walks over to the drivers side, it’s ok just one of the staff who’ll park my car’ Tom says passing a bloke the keys as he gets out. We all get out Lee instantly grabs Abi’s hand and Tom walks the othe side of her. Dunk wrap his arm around my waist and we walk up to the stairs to the court. We go past journalist and photographers who continuously snap away. There’s lots of shouting and Tom stops and talks for a moment to the press, we all wait behind him at the entrance doors .
‘There will be an update from eith one of mine or Daniel Glatman’s team on how all the lads are doing at some stage through this trial, but I do ask you to please not hassle any of the lads or there families or fiancee’s thankyou’ He turns around and we all walk into the large building, we are greeted with hugs from Ant, Simon, Dan and Shelia. After about 15 minuets we are called in and the trial starts..

Sy: ‘ For the prosecution who do you call as your first witness?’ The judge says I know full well that its going to be me Abi takes my hand a squeezes it.
‘I call Simon Webbe as our first witness of the prosecution’ says the lawyer Terry Chambers, who Dan and Tom got in especially for the trial
‘you’ll be ok mate’ Lee says putting and arm behind Abi and patting me on the back
‘I hope so’ I say going down the steps and into the stand. I do all the formalities then Terry starts asking me questions
‘Simon could you please state what happened in on the late on that Thursday afternoon. the day of the shooting?’ Terry asks me I take a deep breath and start recalling the events of ‘that’ afternoon
‘Ant, Dunk, Lee and I had been at a meeting with our manager Dan for most of the day. Anyway we all got into separate cars Lee & Duncan in one and Ant & I in another, we were all really pleased we had done some recording and finalised ideas for our new single. We arrived back about 3.30 and went into the safe house’ I stopped and took a breath
‘then what happened next?’ Terry asked, I turn and look up to the others I then continue.
‘Emma, was already back when we arrived, we all just sat down and had a chat about different things , obviously not our work cos Emma’s not allowed to know the ins and out cos she’s lee;s sister. anyways about half hour later, Abi, Lee’s fiancee arrived back. She had left something in the car and lee offered to go and get it for her, he went out side and the next thing we know we hear a gun go off.’ i say looking over to Lee who looks pretty shaken up again.
‘okay Simon so what happen next later in the afternoon when you were at the hospital I understand you were the first on the scene when Emma Ryan was stabbed?’ Terry says turning over the page of his notes
‘Yes I was, Emma and gone out for some fresh air and Ant had gone with Abi to sit with Lee for a bit. Anyway Emma had been for longer than we liked so myself and Duncan, Emma’s boyfriend went outside of the hospital to see if she was ok’ I stop waiting for the next question, i notice from the corner of my eye that Emma was crying slightly
‘so what happened when you got outside was Emma okay?’ Terry asks. I take another deep breath and answer
.’no Emma was not okay when we arrived outside Duncan and I could see a man leaning over Emma. It was obvious that she was in trouble. We both ran over to the bench she and this man were sitting on and Duncan went to Emma I tried chasing the man’
‘so you got a good look of who had stabbed Ms Ryan then? Terry asks then turning to look at the jury
‘yes I did i couldn’t catch him cos I wanted to check on Emma but the man was most defiantly Darren Brooks’ I say looking at the arrogant git smirking in the ’dock’
‘okay thankyou Mr Webbe no further question’s’ I then get asked to stand down I then walk back over to the others who are sitting in the balcony. We sit and wait for a moment then it’s Emma’s turn.....




Emmas POV

I get up and walk down to take the witness box. "Emma what do you remember of the day of Lees shooting?" Terry asks. I look at him.
"I remember leaving work early as Dan didnt need me to do anything else and he had a meeting with Blue. About an hour after I got home the lads arrived back. Abi wasnt far behind them. She realised she'd left a folder in the car, so Lee offered to get it for her. The next thing I remember is a loud bang. Then Sy and Dunk disappeared outside. I remember Dunk running back in and calling an ambulance and comforting Abi when she realised it was Lee that had been hurt." I say before stopping as everything comes flooding back. I look up at the others who smile supportively.
"When you were at the hospital with the others you were stabbed. Can you please tell the court about the events leading up to this?"
"Abi had gone to maternity and Id been sat with Lee. I needed some air so I went outside where i...." I stop as Darren looks at me glaring. I try to avoid his gaze but I see the menace I saw that day.
"Take your time." Terry says with a smile.
"I bumped into Darren. We got talking. Anyway we were sat on the bench and..." Now the tears start to fall. I can see the knife coming towards me in my mind and I start to shake. I cant do this. I look back up at the guys and its then I know that I have to as Darren cant get away with this. "He pulled a knife and before I could scream or do anything he sunk the knife into me. Things go hazy after that." I say before the courtroom starts to spin.

Duncans POV

I watch as Emma starts to sway in the witness box. She hits the floor with an almighty thud. I get up and before one of the court officials can stop me Im down by her side. "Emma babe." I say whilst craddling her head. A court doctor comes and checks Emma over as she starts to come round.
"Take her back to sit with you guys. She'll be ok but lets make sure she drinks lots of water. Its fear and tiredness that have caused this. Plus the reliving of the event." The doctor says to me. He then helps me get Emma up.
"GROW UP YOU LYING COW." Darren yells. I hear the judge bang his hammer and give him a verbal warning. Emma and I walk back to the others. She sits between me and Ant. I pull her to me.
"YOuve done your bit now." I say and she smiles faintly at me.
"But its not over is it?" She whispers.
"No its not but he cant hurt you in here." I say as I pull her to me. She sobs into my chest. The judge decides to adjourn for 10 minutes so we all go outside into the corridor.

Lees POV

I walk over to Emma as Abi and Ant are talking. "Sis standing in that witness box is it easy?" I ask and she looks at me.
"Im not gonna lie you saw with your own eyes. I think the hardest part was seeing Darren leering at me." She says and I hug her. "But you;ll be fine." She says to me. We all head back in and I head for the witness box. Terry asks me very nicely if Im ok to talk about this. I nod my head and the proceeding gets underway. I cant help but feel scared as I tell the court about the hate mail and the move to the safe house. I then start to talk about the day of the shooting but I cant as my emotions get the better of me. I shake so much that I cant even grip the glass of water the court clark gives me. The tears fall down my face and the judge decides to adjourn for the day as its all too much. I head back to the others and I look at Emma and apolgise.

Abis POV

I grab Tom. "Let me give evidence as Lee obviously cant do this. I mean it caused Emma to collapse and Lee well now hes a gibbering wreck. If I take the stand I can give his evidence. It will be better." I say and Tom nods his head in agreement.

Ants POV

I look at Lee as he apologises to Emma yet again. "Lee you have nothing to be sorry for bro." She says before hugging him tightly. I catch her look its the one she had in the witness box before she collapsed. I grab her as she starts to fall. Abi hugs Lee as I hold Emma as she comes round again. Dunk soon comes over as we head to leave court. Today has been emotional for all. But its been hardest for Lee and Emma as we expected it to be.

Tom: ‘Abi are you sure about this, giving evidence it’s not going to be easy’ I say to Abi, but by what she said earlier she’s determined to do this for Lee
‘I know it’s not going to be easy but I’ve got to do it for Lee, I cant watch Lee take the stand it will destroy him . You know I’m right it will be better this way at least if I do it they’ll get the evidence in full’ Abi says with a tone of determination to her voice, I nod my head
‘okay i’ll let you give Lee’s evidence on one condition you tell us to stop if you start to feel unwell ok.’ I say to her, knowing that Lee would worry if Abi takes the stand
‘i will now shall we go and tell the others and you give me Lee’s notes’ she says walking back over to the others

Trial: Day 2:
Ant: We all arrive via the back entrance to the court , yesterday after what happened with Emma, I overheard Abi talk to Tom. As we walk in Abi and Tom walk over to a corner to talk after about 5 minuets, Abi and Tom walk back over to were we are all sitting, Abi sits beside lee who seems to be in a world of his own
‘Lee you’re not going to give evidence, i wont allow you to’ Abi says placing her hands over his
‘but...but i have to no one else can do it’ Lee says looking at Abi
‘yes they can lee ,I am going to give your evidence for you ’ she says rubbing his hands, I look at lee’s face he doesn’t look impressed
‘no way Abi, you can’t what about you and the baby your not ment to get stressed’ he says looking at Abi then up at Tom. ‘Your not doing it Abi’ he says sounding rather determined
‘Lee, there’s is no way you can give evidence you wont be able to cope with it, where if I give the evidence for you it will be stronger and the case then will be stronger’ she says looking at Lee and then looking to me or support
‘she’s right mate, your in no fit state to give evidence let Abi do it for you’ I say placing a hand on his shoulder
‘no, it’s not fair Abi shouldn’t be made to give evidence you cant make her’ Lee says looking at Tom
‘Lee listen to me, no one is making me do anything. I want to do this Lee, i cant watch you go through what Emma went through up there, so I’m going to do it for you and your not going to stop me’ Abi says looking Lee deep in the eyes
‘but what if...’ Tom doesn’t allow lee to finish his sentence
‘Lee everything is going to be fine, the defence wont go heavy on Abi and you know I wont so please let Abi do this’ Tom says almost sounding like he’s pleading with him. Lee hesitates for a moment then says ‘ok but Abi if you start to feel un well or anything like that you stop’ Lee says to Abi she smiles an him
‘of course I will no come on there going to call us in soon so please let me do this’ she says touching his face
‘ok give my evidence, Tom look after Abi up there for me’ he says as Abi hugs him
‘of course I will Lee, come on Abi lets get this done shall we’ Tom says looking at Abi
‘yep see you in there Lee. Love you’ Abi says as they kiss
Love you to’ Lee says touching Abi’s bump, she stands up and walks with Tom.
‘she’ll be ok Lee’ I say patting him on the back
‘I hope so’ he says as we both stand up and go with the others into court. I sit down beside Dunk and he see’s lee and sy enter
‘where’s Abi?’ Dunk asks
‘over there she’s giving evidence’ I whisper to him as the court goes silent as Abi walks over to the stand
‘what?!’ Dunk says slightly surprised

Abi: I enter the court after a quick chat with Terry our lawyer, I look up to Lee, Emma and the others who are sitting up in seats at the top of the court the same place we were yesterday. I take a deep breath and go to the witness stand.
‘Right, Abi you’re here to give Lee’s evidence so I am going to ask you questions first relating to Lee’s statement ok’ Terry says I smile and nod ‘ Okay in Lee’s statement when you went to the police the first time about the hate mail he said it had been going on for four months can you recall this time and when you found out’ Terry finishes and I look over to Lee and then start
‘yes I remember that over those months Lee had become jumpy and nervous around people, even me. Although I hadn’t noticed when i found out it all made sense we had been getting continuous phone calls to our home, and also hate mail which I only found out about the day that Dan took Lee to see DCI Tom Barnaby.’ I say thinking through what I am going to say next
‘after that you and the others went to the safe house, what was Lee doing the day of the shooting?’ Terry asks, i flick through a copy of Lee’s statement then start
‘Lee, Ant, Sy and Dunk had gone for a meeting with Dan for the morning, Emma had also gone in to work that day and I had gone to Spurs Lodge to see some of my clients to go over details of what they needed to do etc. The boys cam home around 3:30, Emma was already home, they had been chatting about different things when I arrived back they all seemed really happy because they had done some recording and finalised idea’s for the new single, at 4 o’clock i arrived back.’ I say stopping waiting for the next question already knowing what it would be.
‘ok so what happened next when you arrived back?, Lee went outside then what happened?’ Terry asks i look at the jury as the stare at me
‘I arrived back, I went and sat down when i realised i had left something in the car that had dropped me off it was a player profile that I needed to read through for the next day, so Lee offered to go and get it, he went outside then..’ i stop as i feel the urge to cry i compose myself
‘what happened next? take your time Abi I know this must be difficult for you’ terry says with a soft tone to his voice.
‘Lee went outside after about a minuet or so there was a bang a gun had gone off. I wanted to go and see what had happened but Sy grabed hold of me whilst Dunk, Ant and Emma went outside to see what happened. Then Dunk came back and told us that lee had been shot as he called and ambulance, I made Sy let go of me and then i went outside to see Lee lying on the floor he had been shot.’ I finish a wipe a tears from my eyes

Lee: I watch as Abi gives my eveidnce, I wipe the tears that have fallen as I hear Abi tell the events of the day, I start to have flash backs and shake, I feel a hand take mine. I turn my head to see Sy smiling at me
‘she’s doing ok mate stay calm’ he says squezzing my hand reasuuringly, I take a deep breath in and say
‘I know but she shouldn’t have to be doing this Sy’ I whisper to him as more tears fall
‘everythings going to be okay I promise’ Sy says puttung his arm around my shoulders he pulls me to him, and for a moment I cry quietly whilst Abi continues to talk about the shoting and seeing me in hospital
‘... and the worst thing was the not knowing if Lee was okay and how bad his injuries were we all just had to sit and wait. It destroyed every one just me or Emma but the three boys as well.’ Abi stops for a moment then terry speaks up.
‘that’s all no further questions Abi, you can go back to Lee now’ Terry says to Abi, she smiles and walks back up the stairs and comes and sits next to me
‘I told you it would be okay didn’t I’ she says kissing my cheek. I nod my head as the judge speaks.
‘I would like the jury to now take the time out whilst we adjourn for the final time and conder all the evidnce, from both victims all indirectly on one occasion. The band member and close friend, and finally the fiancee all people affected by Mr Brooks’ actions. I f you believe what they have said I urge you to find this man guilty. If you do not believe what these people have said or have any doubt in your minds then an innocent verdict must be found. Please think this through carfuly I’ll call you back in an hour thank you. court ajurned’ the judge says as we all leave. A tense hour lays ahead for us all whilst we wait for the verdict.

[Dopeyidiot]

Emmas POV

We all head out into the corridor. I watch Lee and Abi pacing. Dunks kinda in a world of his own as he goes to phone Fiona. I sit back in the corridor. Things playing through my mind. Ant sits next to me and Sy on the other side.
"You ok?" Ant asks and I smile weakly at him.
"Im ok. Its Lee over there Im worried about along with Abi." I say. "How are you guys?" I ask
"Im ok but Ill be glad when its over. too many memories coming back." Ant says and I hug him then Sy.
"Jury's reached a verdict." Terry says to us. So we all trapse in. I grab dunks hand and squeeze it. I end up sitting next to him and Lee. Holding each of their hands. Abis holding Lees other hand.

Dunks POV

We sit there watching as the jury enter. "Will the forman of the jury please stand." A court usher asks. We watch as a guy stands.
"Mr forman habve the jury reached a unanamous verdict?" The judge asks.
"We have."
"How do you find the defendant Darren Brooks?"
"Guilty on all counts." The guy replies.
"Mr Brooks I have no choice but to sentence you to life imprisonment for what you did." The judge says. We all let out a huge sigh of relief.
"Told you it'd be ok babe." I say and Emma smiles at me.
"i know you did." She replies. Suddenly a guy is hurtling towards us with a couple of guards trying to grab him. Its Darren. He lunges and grabs my throat things start to swim and I hear a scream before it goes black.

Ants POV

We all sit there in horror as Emma screams at Darren to let go. Two guards grab him and pull him off to take him down to the holkding cell before taking him to his prison where his life sentance will begin. I pull Emma to me as the paramedics see to Dunk who is coming round.
"He'll have to go to hospital." The paramedic replies as Emma cries into my chest. I so cant believe this is happening. I mean how the hell did Darren manage to get away from his guards like that?? I look at Sy and he nods at me.
"Emma come on we'll go with you to see him. As Lee and Abi are gonna need their rest." Sy says as we head behind the paramedics. I wrap my arm protectively round Emma as we head out the front of court with Tom towards a waiting car. The press keep snapping pictures and Terry appeears to give out a statement. "Today Darren Brooks was found guilty for 2 accounts of attempted murder and for causding distress to the families and close friends of the victims. He has been sentanced to life imprisonment" he says as we climb into the car.
"Im so sorry about all this." Tom says as he gets in with us.
"Wasnt your fault mate." Sy replies as Emma continues to just stare into space. She then leans towards Sy as he passes her her mobile that she dropped. She then leans back into me.
"We'll get Lee and Abi dropped off at their home safely so dont worry about that." Tom says.

Abis POV

Lee and I are escorted to another car and are driven in the direction of home. I feel so wound up about this. Darrens a right petal doing that to Dunk for no reason. I hug Lee when we get in. "You ok babe?" He asks and I look at him.
"Im ok you?" I ask and he smiles weakly.
"Im fine."

Emma: I sit with Dunk in a hospital room, a doctor comes into to explain Dunks injuries.
‘I wasn’t expecting to have you lot back in here’ The doctor says and Dunk smiles i look at him confused.
‘Ems this doc he treated you babe’ he says squezzing my hand
‘oh right. so what's the damage will Dunk be ok?’ I ask the doctor he smiles and flicks up his clipboard
‘Yes Duncan has mild concussion but as long as you promise to rest for the next two to three days i cant see why you can’t go home now. I’ve pescribed you some painkillers but as you have mild concussion, the usual applies no alchol and no driving’ he says passing Dunk a white box which must be the pain relief
‘don’t worry Dunk wont be doing any driving or anything strenuous, I'll make sure of that’ I say taking the box from Dunks hand and putting it in my handbag
‘right that’ it you can go now , just take it easy for the next few days and if you start to have had headaches or feel unwell just call and we can make you an appointment’ The doctor says passing me a card with the phone number on it
‘thanks doc but i’m sure that i’ll be ok’ Dunk says getting up. We get our coats and walk out to the car were Johnny is ready to take us home.
* A week later*
Lee: I awake to the sound of Abi’ vomiting, I get up and go to the bathroom, I open the door and walk in.
‘Babe are you ok?’ stupid question but i don’t know what else to say, Abi’s been having morning sickness on and off for the last three months although it should have stopped by now, but Abi’s perdition said it’s nothing to worry about.
‘yeah I'm fine’ Abi says before throwing up again,
‘aww babe come here’ I say walking over to Abi who has her head over the toilet. I take her long blonde hair and move it out of her face
‘thanks’ Abi says turning trying to reach for toilet roll,
‘there you go’ I say passing her some she sits up I take a piece and dab some water on I then gently wipe her mouth ‘feel better now babe?’ I ask her as I kneel down next to her
‘yeah I just wish I could stop being sick. I should have stopped by now but every morning and even the slightest smell seems to affect me the last three days or so’ she says putting the toilet seat down and flushing it, she tries to stand but struggles so I help her
‘hands’ I say taking them and helping her up
‘thank you’ she says I pull her to me hugging her gently, I place my hands on her bump and say
‘not long now’
‘I know three weeks no more being sick and a gorgeous baby i cant wait’ Abi says touching my hands that are on her bump.

Abi: We walk back into our bedroom and go and cuddle up in bed.
‘Abi I was thinking you know how Dan’s giving me the next month off starting from tommorrow, do you fancy a few days break?’ lee asks me as he wraps his arms arounf my now rather large tummy
‘yeah that sounds good, where were you think nothing to far away cos of the baby’ I say resting my head on lee’s chest
‘no not to far away how about going to see your parents you haven’t seem them for 10 months i think it’s about time don’t you and I spoke to your mum yesterday and she said your dads back from his trip and is dying to see you’ Lee says kissing my head
‘really?, that would be great I’ve really missed them and it would be nice to see them before this little ones born’ I say moving Lee’s hand over my tummy
‘that’s what i said to your mum so were going this afternoon then, You stay in bed and rest I’ll get packing’ lee says kissing me and getting out of bed, I start to laugh as Lee stands still staring in the wardrobe ‘What!’ he asks looking at me laughing
‘nothing’ I say still laughing, Lee walks back over to the bed
‘you may be pregnat but i can still tickle you so tell me what’s funny’ he says leaning over placing his hands on my bump
‘you haven’t got a clue what to pack, and don’t you think it would be a good idea to put some boxers on!’ I say slapping Lee’s bare arse
‘oh yeah good idea’ Lee says laughing, god I dont know what he would do with out me, proberly walk around everywhere naked knowing Lee.

Sy: I sit in the lounge watching TV, when my mobile goes off, I flick up my mobile and read the message
“Hi babe, I really wanna c u, hope ur ok Love Katie xxx” , I smile as I read the message. Katie’s my new girlfriend, I met her through Abi’ as Katie is one of the physiotherapists at Tottenham. We’ve been going out for the last month or so and it’s going really well. I reply to the message “ I wanna c u 2. Got the next month off so whenever is fine with me Love Sy xxx” I click send and go back to watching tv, I hear Ant coming down the stairs singing to himself,
‘if ya going to sing Ant sing in bl00dy tune!’ I shout to him, he walks into the lounge with a big grin on his face ‘and why are you so happy?’ I ask looking at him as he plonks himself on one the other sofa
‘got a date innit’ he says grining
‘oooh and who’s the lucky lady then, you’ve got to tell me we dont want a repeat of last time’ I say laughing thinking about the whole Clare thing
‘ Her names Jude’ He says sound rather pleased with himself
‘what as in Jude are styalist Jude?’ I say slightly suprised
‘yeah why?’ Ant asks tapping something into his mobile
‘no reason nice girl. One sec’ I say as my mobile bleeps i read the text from Katie
“ How about 2nite if ur free, come round to mine if it’s easier. Love Katie xx” I smile and reply saying yes to the offer. Everythings going well Dunks out of hospital Emma and lee have had the all clear, Abi;s having her baby soon and Ant and I have new ladies in our lives , what more could we want. Oh only a number 1 single when ‘Breathe easy’ comes out next month. We havent even done a video for it yet but dan said he had a plan up his sleeve what ever that means, anyway back to texting Katie.

Dunks POV

I walk into the kitchen and I watch Emma writing up some notes. "Babe how much more work are you gonna do?" I ask and she looks up at me and smiles.
"Im planning on finishing in a second why?" She asks with a smile.
"Cos I need you to go get changed. Only Ive booked a table at a nice restaurant and your mum and my mum are coming." I say and her smile disappears.
"Duncan I love my mum and your mum ever so much but do we really have to share a table with them in a restaurant? I mean get them together and they never shut up." She says and I smile.
"Well Lee never shuts up yet you dont complainabout that." I say and she looks at me before groaning and standing up. I pull her to me as she goes to leave the kitchen. "If you behave tonight I will do what ever you want and thats a promise." I say and she gets that Ryan glint in her eyes that suggests I might just regret making that promise.

Emmas POV

I run up the stairs and into the bedroom. I open the wardrobe door and I start chucking clothes onto the bed. I honestly cant find anything at all. Well I can find clothes but its trying to find clothes that I like. Ive become more self conscious since the attack. I cant say I hate my body because I dont but for a while after I came out of hospital I wouldnt get changed if Dunk was in the room but that soon changed when he told me he loved me for me and that included the scars. down side is though I havent really been shopping so Ive got the majority of the clothes I used to own which arent exactly lets show flesh but kinda like it. I grab my long black dress and pull it on.
"Emma are you gonna put these clothes back in the wardrobe?" Dunk asks when he appears in the doorway.
"Get me a bin bag these clothes are going to a charity shop." I say pointing to a pile. I then put other clothes away again. I grab a black crochet jacket from the wardrobe and pull it on. It covers the scar on my shoulder.
"Wow you look stunning." Dunk says appearing in the doorway bin bag in hand. I dump the clothes in the bag while he gets changed.
"Blimey you've scrubbed up well." I say when he reappears. we then head to the restaurant.

Katies POV

Sy arrives with a massive bunch of roses. "Awwwwwww wow thanx?" I say whilst letting him in. he looks gorgous in a white shirt unbuttoned slightly over a pair of faded jeans. We walk into the lounge and before long we're snogging.
"Ive missed you." He says when we pull apart.
"Ive missed you too sexy." I say and he smiles. We soon head up to my bedroom and it starts to get heated.

Ants POV

i invite Jude over and she agrees to come. I cook a romantic dinner and I set the table and light the candles and place rose petals on the table cloth.The doorbell goes and I answer it.
"Jude babe." I say before giving her a hug.
"Ant what is it that smells so good?" She asks and I lead her into the dining room.
"Have a seat and dinner will be served shortly." I say pulling out a chair.

Judes POV

Ant is such a gent. If it wasnt for my job I wouldnt have met him and trust me I wouldnt be without him. I felt so sorry for him with that business with Clare. He reappears with spaghettie bolognase cooked to perfection. "Ant this is just so...so romantic." I say and he looks at me.
"Well I'll do anything for you babe as i love you." He says and I look into his eyes and I just know he means it.

Abi:’ we’re here babe you sure your up to this?’ Lee says as we pull into the drive way of my parents house, were going to be spending the next three days with them, as in 12 days our baby is due and I want to be at our home around my friends when the baby is born.
‘I’ll be fine, although I don't know if my bladder will be’ I say as we get out of the car
‘what you need to go again. That's four times Abi’ Lee says walking round from the drivers side to stand next to me
‘I know, I swear the little ones going to be a footballer when he grows up’ I say touching my bump. Lee locks the car and takes my hand
‘umm lets hope not rather he was a singer, anyway lets go in shall we’ Lee says kissing me and taking my hand. We walk up to the door and my mum answers.
‘hello love, come in, let me take your coat’ mum says as we hug she then takes my coat, and dad walks in to the hallway from the lounge
‘How my baby girl doing?’ He ask opening his arms for a hug
‘well I’m not a baby anymore but I’m doing really well thanks dad, been missing you and mum though’ I say as we hug and he kisses me on the cheek. I turn to see mum hugging Lee
‘I see you’ve been looking after her well’ Mum says to Lee as he kisses her on the cheek
‘you know me only the best for my fiancee and baby’ Lee says coming over to me and dad he hugs my and then we all walk into the lounge.

Dan: I sit in my office going through some notes that my other pa Jenna ha written up for me on blue, I read through them none making sense, it’s a shame Emma cant work on the blue stuff as it would be of a better qualitly, I see Emma walk into her office so i shout to her to come in
‘Emma can I borrrow you a sec please’ I shout, Emma turns round and walks over to me
‘sure somthing you need me to do?’ She asks smiling to me, although this is her secound week back it doesnt feel like she’s been away except verything is now organized
‘yeah there is I was going through the ideas that Lee and the boys came up with for the video, but obviously Lee’s made it very clear that he doesnt want to travel abroad cos of Abi and the baby, so I thought we could do a studio recording here in london. With snow machines etc. what you think?’ I say passing Emma the draft of what the plan is, she looks at it and smiles
‘I;m sure the boys will love it, just don't let them get to excited about the snow machine you know what Ant and Lee are like when they get hyper’ Emma says passing me back the plan
‘okay then, when is Abi and Lee back from there trip?’ I ask knowing that they had gone to see Abi’s parents
‘in three days i think. So we can do it then’ Emma says writing notes down
‘ok then if you can tell the others i’m sure they will be happy’ I say she nods and goes out the door.

*Three days later*

Katie: Simon and I arrive at a London Studio for the recording of Blue’s new video.
‘are you sure about having the day of babe?’ Sy asks as he takes my hand and we walk into the buliding
‘it’s fine babe, I’m their psycio not their mother I;m sure they will be fine’ I say as I lean into Sy and kiss him
‘ok then, I think it’s up there, were the recodring is going to take place’ Sy says placing his arm round my waist and pointing to a blacked out studio up a couple of flights of stairs. We walk up and enter the room we hear burst of giggles that could only belong to the other boys, ‘morning everyone’ Sy says as the others turn and wave
‘Hiya, oh I’m glad your here Katie, can I talk to you a sec’ Abi says getting up from a sofa that she is sitting on with Lee
‘sure, what’s the problem?’ I say letting go of Sy’s hand and walking over to Abi
‘just wanted to check on Mark’s progress, how is his rehablition going?’ Abi asks, as she does so Lee jumps up and says
‘I’ve already told you Abi, no work talk, your ment to be on maternity leave and that started on Monday and it Thursday now so no talk of work. You here me’ Lee says looking rather serious. Which makes Dunk and Sy laugh, ‘ This is not a laughing matter you two’ He says pointing to them
‘ignore my fiancee carry on Katie’ Abi says walking over to him and slapping his arse
‘oi’ he shouts which makes us all laugh.
‘wimp’ I hear Ant say from the other sofa
‘oh he speaks’ Emma says as everyone laughs. Ant pulls away from kissing Jude for a moment and says ‘what was that’
‘typical, we’re never like them are we babe always have manners’ Lee says as Abi cuddles up to him
‘yeah right, all I’m gonna say is night club 10 months ago’ Emma says looking at Lee shaking her head, then the three boys burst out laughing
‘Ems got you there mate’ Sy says as everyone laughs
‘anytime today boys would be great’ a bloke says coming over to where we are all sitting
‘ok coming’ Sy says standing up kissing me on the lips
‘be back in a bit, sit and rest ok’ lee says to Abi she just smiles
‘lets get to it’ Ant says kissing Jude then jumping up of the sofa
‘don’t gossip to much now girls’ Dunk says before kissing Emma and following the other lads
‘Us gossip! as if’ Jude says we all burst out laughing and turn round so that we can watch the boys
‘Jude if you would kindly come and do some work we would be very grateful’ Toby the director says, Jude picks up her make up case and says
‘you want me to make them up, there far to ugly I’m really sorry Toby I don’t think I will be able top help you’ , us girls than start laughing as the boys turn with a look of hurt on their faces, ‘come here and stop sulking’ Jude says grabbing Ant to her and kissing him
‘make up now Jude’ Toby shouts at them
‘oh yeah on to it’ she say doing the lads hair and make up

Ant: After two hours we are due to have a break, it’s been so much fun doing the video and the snow machine has been a giggle, as we go to do the next shot we here a mobile go off

‘sorry’ she says before taking the call, us being the nosey people that we are listen in on the call ‘yes that’s fine, of course Michael I’ll be there tell, Jay D to be at spurs lodge for three on Tuesday you both have a photo shoot for the new kit, yeah that's fine. you to bye’ Abi says before hanging up. Lee runs up the stairs to talk to her
‘what did I tell you about no work’ He says folding his arms
‘you said take it easy and that's what i am doing I am allowed to take phone calls you know babe it aint against the law .’ she says again making every one laugh. I feel Jude pull at my arm
‘you okay babe?’ I ask kissing her
‘fine but I’m bored’ Jude says winking at me
‘oh bored you fancy a walk along to a cupboard I need to get changed anyway’ I say quietly to her
‘I would love to Ant, let’s go and get you changed then’ She says saying the word changed loudly so that everyone can here

for a response we leg it out the door and into the dressing room
‘so you need a hand getting undressed then’ Jude says as I pull her in for a passionate kiss
‘I sure do babe’ I say looking the door behind us

[Dopeyidiot]

Emmas POV

I watch Jude and Ant disappear. "So no what those two are going to be getting up to and it no more envolves her helping him get changed than theres a man on the moon." I say and the others laugh.
"Your not jealous are you?" Sy asks and I look at him.
"Of what exactly?" I ask.
"The fact that they are getting joggy in the dressing room." He says and I look at him.
"As if. i mean yes Im loved up but I dont need sex every ten minutes or a snog or something like those two do." I say and Sy looks at me.
"Shes jealous." He says and Lee sniggers. Dunk wraps his arms round me protectively. I feel him nuzzle my neck and I ruffle his hair.
"Judes gonna be dvd about that as youve messed it up now." Lee says and Dunk laughs.
"Might make her take her hands off of ant for a while though." He replies.

Lees POV

I sit with Abi leaning into me. "No more work related stuff today please." I say and she rolls her eyes. "Look Katie and Emz arent working." I say and she shrugs her shoulders. I hear a phone go and turn in time to see Emma answer it.
"I thought you said Emma wasnt working today?" Abi asks and the others laugh. I sigh as I realise Im not gonna win this one. Ant and Jude reappear and Ants rebuttoning his shirt.
"I thought you had to get changed?" Dunk says.
"I did." Ant replies.
"So why are you wearing what you disappeared in?" Sy asks and we all snigger as Ant and Jude blush bright red.
"Shhhhhhhh Im on the phone." Emma snaps.
"Sorry." We all mutter. Jude restyles Dunks hair and glares at Emma for messing it up but to be honest by this point no ones paying attention and Toby calls us for the next shot so Emma disappears outside to finish the call.

Dunks POV

Emma reappears just as we finish shooting the vid. She looks a little bit annoyed. "What is it?" I ask.
"Dan wants me to go on a business trip to Italy next week and I dont want to go." She says. This causes everyone to listen in.
"How long for?" Abi asks.
"A week. So I said no as theres no way Im missing the birth of my nephew. So now hes gonna send Jenna instead and Ill have to rewrite everything she writes on the trip. Also hes gonna sack Jenna or demote her or some such thing that went over my head when I started to lose my cool on the phone." She says.
"You didnt yell at him did you?" Lee asks and Emma looks at him.
"Not quite but I think I need to buy a new mobile." She says before showing us hers.
"Sis you need to control that Ryan temper." Lee says to her.
"And you need to stop being so overprotective of Abi but thats not gonna happen and untill it does I aint gonna control my temper." She says and we all laugh at the look on her and Lees face.

Dans POV

I head to the video shoot to try and talk to Emma in the hope that by now shes calmed down.

Jude: The recording of the video is now over and Toby finally gets the boys to do some finishing touches . Us girls continue chat and also try and cheer up Emma.
‘There is no way in a billion years I’m going on this trip and Daniel Glatman certainly isn’t going to make me’ Emma says as she storms back in from taking another call from Dan.
‘Emma hun calm please, Dan can’t make you do anything he knows that and you know that. So sit down’ Katie says pointing to the seat next to Abi she does so
‘I’m not going, there’s is no way I’m missing the birth of my nephew, not after everything that’s happened’ Emma says touching Abi’s rather large tummy
‘i don’t want you to go either there must be a way that you don’t have to go’ I say trying to think of idea’s
‘just say you’re not up to it I mean after everything you’ve been through I don't think you should be made to go away on your own’ Katie says and we all nod , Simon runs up the stairs smiling
‘It’s a wrap, we’ve done it!’ Sy says running over to Katie. we are soon joined by Ant and Dunk. Dunk walks over to Emma and hugs her
‘you still grumpy?’ he asks kissing her
‘yes I bl00dy well am, I’m not going on the trip and that’s that’ Emma says folding her arms
‘actually Ems i dont think it is, look’ Ant says pointing to the door, Dans arrived. He looks up and smiles before walking over to lee who’s sitting on a chair looking at the monitor, Dan pats his shoulder that comes up to see us he walks over to Abi and says
‘Abi you had better go and talk to him’. Abi looks at him concerned
‘is he ok?’ i ask, looking at Abi who stands up and walks to the top of the stairs
‘I doubt it’ she says smiling weakly I look to Ant confused
‘what’s all that about?’ I ask him resting my head on his shoulder
‘long story tell you later’ he says kissing my head
‘ok’ I say cuddling up to him as I hear Emma and dan start to argue

Lee: ‘baby are you ok?’ Abi asks as she sits beside me, I turn and smile weakly
‘of course I am, I was just thinking that’s all’ I say touching her blonder hair and tucking a strand behind her ear
‘what about?, Josh and Jules?’ she asks softly
‘yeah, I guess I was just watching the playback I think they would of liked it. Jules was always one for the snow’ I say smiling remembering some of my childhood memories
‘they really did mean a lot to you didn’t they?’ she says placing a hand on my neck, moving it up and down slowly
‘yeah Josh he was my best mate and Jules well she was his little sis like Emma is mine’ I say
‘i tell you what lee I may not of known them but I can tell you they both would be very proud of you, and Emma for that matter’ Abi says I pull her to me and kiss her on the lips, the kisses are rather passionate and after a few minuets we hear whistling
‘cut it out you two’ Sy shouts from the balcony
‘yeah Ryan you randy bugger put the girl down’ Ant shouts standing up walking over to were sy is standing
‘2 words costa Changing room’ I shout back, he turns red and everyone laughs , we go and join the others upstairs and Dan and Emma finally stop arguing.
‘ok you win Ill send one of the other girls but if this baby doesnt arrive in the next week you’ve got trouble emma’ Dan says looking at her trying not to smile
‘don’t say things like that dan, my son can arrive when he likes if thats on time, a week late or even two Emma will be here to see him ok’ I say and dan smiles
‘ok I give up. Everyone listern up You are all now on leave starting from today not next week and instead of 1 month i’m giving you two. Now is everyone happy’ He says folding his arm
‘too right mate’ Sy and Ant shout
‘ok go home then I don't want to see any of you until Abi has the baby ok. go on go and enjoy yourselves .’ Dan says walking down the stairs and out of the studio


*A week later*
Abi: I look at my watch it says 7:30. I touch my tummy as I feel a slight twinge, I move and get up and out of bed slowly, heading into the en-suite bathroom turning the light on a shutting the door slightly. I put the toilet set down, typical lee he left it up again and sit on it. I take a deep breath as I feel another couple of twinges rush through my tummy. I time how far apart they are now realising that they are contractions. I stand up slowly and walk back into the bedroom and switch the lamp on lee’s side of the bed on.
‘Lee’ babe. Wake up it’s time’ I say shaking his shoulder, he starts to stir
‘what time is it?’ he asks rubbing his eyes
‘7:30, babe it’s time. I’m going to get dressed ok’ I say as lee starts to wake properly
‘what did you just say?’ he says sitting bolt up right
‘I said it’s time, my contractions have started, actually they started half an hour ago but i wasnt sure but i am now’ I say getting a some baggy bottoms and a top and fleece out of the wardrobe
‘are you sure?’ Lee says jumping out of bed and coming over to me
‘yes I’m sure, now will you please go and get the holdall from the nursery and get dressed please’ I say kissing him on the lips
‘it’s really happing isn’t it?’ Lee says now smiling
‘it sure is now will you please go and get the holdall and get dressed’ I say as I start to get changed. 20 minuets later we’re ready and head down stairs
‘ready? I’ve called the hospital and told them we are on are way, oh and i’ve text Emma and the boys phones as well I’ve told them there’s no rush just get to the hospital when they can.’ Lee says placing the holdall over his shoulder and taking my hand, we get in the car and head to the hospital
‘you ok babe?’ Lee ask as we drive along
‘i’m fine it just another contraction, dont worry’ I say smiling to him after a 15 minuet journey we arrive at the hospital and lee and i head straight for maternity

Dunks POV

I watch Emma as we get ready to head to the hospital. "You ok?" I ask and she looks at me.
"Im gonna be an auntie." She says with a smile. We head out to my car and to the hospital. When we arrive we find the other guys sitting there.
"Abis gonna flip when she sees all the cuddlies." I say looking at the chairs covered in toys. After about four hours of sitting there Lee appears.

Emmas POV

I look at my brother who cant stop smiling. "Come on guys I want you all to meet my son." He says and we all follow him through to see Abi and my nephew. Lee and I linger behind the others.
"Congrats bro." I say as we hug. As we pull apart I see the pain and sorrow in his eyes that had disappeared at one point. "Wheres the smile gone?" I ask.

Lees POV

I look at my ickle sis and I know I cant lie to her. "What if I screw up?" I ask her.
"Screw what up?" She asks.
"What if I let them down Emz what then?" I ask and she looks at me with tears in her eyes.
"Is this about dad?" I nod my head.
"Lee you've been there for Abi throughout hell you were even there at the birth. Your gonna be the best dad ever. Hell you'll probably be a big brother to that ickle one. If you were gonna mess up you woulda done by now but you havent Lee. She loves you and you love her and your gonna love your son more than you realise." She says to me.
"Cheers sis thats what I needed to hear." I say as she hands me a tissue to wipe the tears from my face. I pull her to me as tears fall down her cheeks. "Come on lets go see your nephew." I say as we pull apart.
"Bro go back in there. Ill be in in a little while. I just need some air and to speak to Dan." She says wandering off. I walk into the room.
"Aint he just the cutest?" I hear Jude asking Katie. I smile at the other lads before sitting on the edge of the bed and holding Abis hand.
"This is the best day ever." I say and she smiles at me.
"Wheres Emma?" She asks.
"Probably washing her face after the tears we've just cried. But she said she wanted some air and she'll be in shortly." I say.

Sys POV

I volunteer to get coffees for everyone. That requires going out the main exit and across the hospital car park to the coffee shop but I aint fussed. I still cant believe Lees a dad. I head outside and I see Emma sat on a bench phone in hand. I decide to sit with her untill she gets off the phone then she can help me with the drinks!!! its that secret ulterior motive of mine! She hangs up as I sit down. "You ok?" I ask when I see shes been crying.
"Its that thing to do with this being the same hospital as... you know." She says and I nod my head in understanding.
"Sure do. Come on come with me to get coffees for the gang." I say and she smiles. "Who were you on the phone to?"
"Dan and he told me that he still needs me to go into work tomorrow as Jennas just walked out leaving him in the lurch and hes no longer fussed who does the stuff for Blue. So my workloads gonna increase but I get to spend more time doing a job I love and thats all that matters. I get to reorganise your files tomorrow as Jenna walked off with the notes from the last meeting you had so Dans a panicking." She says as we walk into the coffee shop.
"So your gonna be a busy girl." I say before ordering the coffees. I pay as we carry them all out.
"Yeah well rather that than no job at all. Come on I wanna see my nephew." She says as we head into maternity. Shes smiling now and all signs that she had cried have gone as we walk in.

Abi: Lee and I arrive at the hospital and are taken straight away to a privet room.
‘Doctor Roberts will be here shortly’ the nurse who had wheeled me in says
‘ok thankyou’ Lee says helping me to get comfortable on the bed. I feel another contraction and Lee grabs my hand, ‘not long now babe’ he says kissing my head, I just smile at him. After about an hour and once I had got changed into one of lee’s baggy tops as that's what i normally sleep in, Doctor Roberts and a midwife enter.
‘right Abi how are we doing?’ he asks walking over to the bed
‘contractions are coming more regularly now, every 8 -10 minuets’ Lee says looking pleased with himself that he had remembered to time them.
‘ok that’s good, right you’re about 3-5cm dilated so it’s going to be pretty soon ok ,Clare the mid-wife will stay with you ok.I’ll be back in a hour’ Dr Roberts says before patting lee on the shoulder and leaving

*two and a bit hours later: 10:15am*

Lee: I sit with Abi in our privet room, she is still having contractions although they are now closer together, there’s a knock on the door. ’come in’ I shout, the door opens and Ant stands there, I walk over to him
‘hows she doing?’ he ask looking over to Abi, before I have a chance to reply Abi says
‘how do you think I’m bl00dy well doing, I’ve been having contractions since 6 o’clock this morning and i’ve still not given birth. I’d like to see how your would be feeling’ she shouts at him, Ant just smiles
‘I’ll tell the others it’s going well then’ he says patting Lee on the arm and walking out
‘ok Lee can you get the doctor’ Abi says, I go to the door and call Clare the nurse over
‘Clare can you get doctor Roberts please, I think abi’s about to give birth’ I say turning to look at Abi and then back to Clare
‘sure go back in with Abi he’ll be there in a moment’ Clare says before walking off. I go back into Abi and sit beside her
‘Clare’s just gone to get him they’ll be here in a minuet’ I say, she smiles and i pull her hair out of her face
‘Ok Abi lets check shall we’ Doctor Roberts says he does his checks the smiles ‘right when you feel the next contraction push ok, and remember the little guy’s coming out back to front’ he says Abi nods and grabs my hand. As Abi pushes I have a look to see what's happening
‘well he’s got your arse’ I say which makes abi smile
‘there’s no need to be cheeky Lee’ she says before taking my hand and pushing for one final time.
‘there you go here’s your son’ Doctor Roberts says passing Clare the baby she wraps him in a blue blanket and passes him to me. I move closer to Abi on the bed and pass the tiny little bundle to her
‘there you go Abi’ I say kissing her on the forehead,
‘he’s so tiny’ she says looking at him, I kiss his little head and then Abi again
‘I’m so proud of you babe’ I say before i lean in and we kiss passionately. I take our little baby from her and place him in the tiny little clear cot style bed and wheel it to beside Abi’s bed.
‘lee go and tell the others they've been waiting ages’ Abi says I smile and kiss Abi and then our little boy on the head

Katie: we’ve been at the hospital for the last hour or so although we we’re all woken and 8 in the morning by a txt from Lee, saying Abi had gone into labour. We all sit in the privet waiting area waiting for news, ant had gone into see them 30 minuets ago and thought it wouldn’t be much long. I rest my head on Sy’s shoulder
‘are you tired babe?’ he asks before kissing my head
‘sure am them two were at it till all hours last night, you must have heard them’ I say pointing to Jude and Ant who were still kissing in the corner of the room, sy laughs. The door bursts open and a very happy Lee bounces quiet literally through it
‘I’m a Dad!!!’ he shouts rather loudly finally snapping jude and ant out of snogging each other
‘congratulations mate’ Dunk says hugging him
‘thanks Dunk’ he says sy and Ant then go over and hug him, ‘want to come and see my son then?’ Lee asks jumping on the spot considering what he had been through the last 6 months, you would never know by the way he was now. We all stand up Sy takes my hand and we follow lee into see Abi

Jude: We all go and see Abi .Ant , Sy and Dunk are the first to congratulate her
‘well done babe’ Sy says kissing her on the cheek
‘let’s see him then’ Ant says walking over to the tiny clear bed Abi reaches over and picks the baby up, Lee enters the room with out Emma
‘he’s so cute, well done you two’ katie says as we both look at the little bundle of joy,
‘he’s got green eyes, defiantly a Ryan’ Ant says putting his arm round my waist as he looks over to see him, Dunk and Sy laugh at this comment
‘Lee babe where's Emma?’ Abi asks looking over to Lee as he comes to sit beside her
‘don’t worry she’s just gone to get some fresh air she’ll be back in a minuet’ he says kissing ab,i then places a hand, stroking his son’s head
‘I’ll go and get coffees’ Sy says he whispers something in Dunks ear and then walks out
10 miuets later Sy comes back this time with emma and the coffees he passes them round.

Emma: I walk in with Sy I pass Dunk and Ant there drinks then go over to Abi
‘congrats hun’ I say we hug, I then walk round to the other side of the bed were Lee is sitting beside Abi holding his son. Although we had shared a couple of tears earlier, I can see that he and Abi are really happy.
‘he’s gorgeous, he’s got your eyes Lee’ I say placing a hand on Lee’s shoulder watching Lee stare at his son
and the Ryan nose’ Abi says and lee nods ‘he nothing like my side’ she says smiling
‘poor boy, lets just hope he doesnt get the Ryan hyperness’ I hear Ant say to sy the both lagh
‘oi i heard that’ I say looking at them, then back at my nephew ’can I?’ I say holding out my arms, abi nods and Lee passes me the little baby to me. Dunk walks over to me and wraps his arms round my waist
‘he’s lovely guys’ Dunk says smiling and looking to lee and Abi
‘so has he got a name yet?’ Jude asks as she sits on Ants lap. Abi and lee look at each other for a moment
‘actually we’ve never discussed names’ Lee says laughing slightly
‘really?’ Dunk says slightly surprised.
