Angie POV

"Oh my fucking god" Jeff gasps laughing so hard he almost falls backwards out of his chair

"See what I mean" I say laughing with him

"Hell yes" he says taking another look at my phone screen that is currently emblazoned with a picture of a smurf in a kilt "I totally see it, that is brilliant"

"For some reason he doesn't see it" I laugh "oh hey Esmee, how are you?" I ask noticing her come in the room

"I'm good, I actually dropped by to see how you were doing today" she says "what are you two laughing at?" She asks

"Oh I'm good thank you, come on over I'll show you" I smile

Emsee walks over to where we are and I show her my phone screen.

"Aww it's a Smurf" she says and Jeff and I look at each other

"You don't see it?" I ask

"See what?" She says taking another look "oh my god, yes I absolutely see it" she says laughing as loudly as Jeff is

"That's it we are all calling him Gutsy from now on" Jeff laughs

"Absolutley but he won't like it" I laugh

"That just makes it more fun" Esmee laughs

"Makes what more fun?" Drew asks as he enters the room startling us

"Hey Gutsy!" We all say together and Drew's face drops

"Oh please tell me you didn't" he sighs

"Oh she absolutely did" Jeff laughs "dude he looks just like you"

"He really does" Esmee laughs

"I swear if you tell Stephen" Drew says

"Oh I have every intention of doing so" Esmee laughs as Drew's face drops further

"Now why would you do this to me?" He asks wrapping his arms around me "I thought you loved me"

"I do love you but I just can't ignore the resemblance" I smile "besides at least he's cute"

"Cute? I'm not cute, I'm rugged and manly" Drew chuckles "and you know I'm all man"

"Eww dude we are right here" Jeff gasps waving his finger between himself and Esmee

"Aye I know" Drew smirks "so Angel have you eaten?"

"Yes I have" I say "is this all I'm going to get from you now? Have you slept, have you eaten"

""He loves you Angie, he just wants to make sure you're alright" Esmee says

"Thank you Esmee" Drew says "see she gets it, I just want to make sure you and the baby are fine"

"We are I promise" I say "please stop fussing"

"I'm going to go find Stephen, I catch up with you later Angie" Esmee smiles "see you later Gutsy" she laughs and Drew shakes his head

"See what you've done" he laughs "this better not get round the locker room"

"Well then you better hope he keeps his mouth shut" I say nodding towards Jeff who promptly gets up from his seat and jumps over the table

"Oh I'm telling everyone" he laughs before running out of the door

"Get back here you little shite" Drew shouts after him, giving me a quick kiss before running after him.

"What in the world is going on?" Stephen asks as he enters the room

"Esmee will fill you in" I laugh "she's looking for you by the way"

"She is" he smiles and a little blush forms on his cheeks

"Yeah she is" I smile "it's nice to see you so happy, I'm really happy for you"

"Thanks for everything" hes says giving me a gentle hug "if you hadn't given me a nudge I would never have asked her out, I love ya lass"

"I love you too" I say "now go find your girlfriend"

Stephen turns to leave just as Jeff comes dashing back in the room,  he jumps over the table again and hides behind me and Stephen shakes his head and leaves.

"Don't be using me as a shield" I laugh

"But he won't hurt you" Jeff says resting his chin on my shoulder

"He won't hurt you if you agree to keep your mouth shut" I laugh

"Hiding behind her won't help you" Drew says walking towards us

"Alright I won't say anything I promise" Jeff says from behind me

As Drew reaches me I place my hands on his chest and he looks down at me.

"Leave him alone" I say "he won't say anything"

"Fine" Drew sighs "but you say a damn word"

"I won't I swear" Jeff says leaving the room as quickly as he came in

"I'm going to be called Gutsy for the rest of my life aren't I?" Drew laughs

"Maybe I could make it up to you with another nickname" I say

"You can try" he says taking me in his arms gently

"How about Sexy Scotsman" I smile

"Now that I can live with" he smiles pressing his lips against mine
