My baby daddy (Casualty)

Twenty six

Alyssa's head was a mess. She didn't know what to do about what Iain had said to her. How he still wanted her.

Alyssa knew that she was happy with Cal and that they had finally made it all work between them. They had their two girls and Alyssa felt like her life was finally coming together.

When she woke that morning, she looked to see Cal as he walked into the bedroom. He sat down and smiled. "Hey. So I've got some time booked off. And so I'm thinking we could go away? Me, you and the girls."

Alyssa smiled widely and nodded. "Yeah. I'd love that. A little holiday together. I think it's what we need," she said as she looked at him.

Cal nodded. "I'll book somewhere during my break. The girls are fast asleep. So I think we have some time before we head go through madhouse."

Alyssa smirked as she pulled him into the bed. Their lips met in a heated passionate kiss. Cal was about to push into her when there was a cry from the nursery. "Duty calls."

Alyssa and Cal walked into work. Alyssa saw Bailee and walked over to her. "Hey. Are you okay?" She asked.

"No. I'm not allowed to leave. My mother won't allow it. She says she'll stay here with me."

"Good. I don't want you to leave."

Bailee sighed. "Me and this baby aren't wanted here. How am I supposed to look Iain in the eye when he doesn't want our baby."

Alyssa smiled. She took her hand. "You have me. I want you here. I really do. And I know how hard everything has been. But I'm glad you're my best friend still. I love you."

"I love you too. But it's for the best that I go."

Alyssa pulled her into an hug. She smiled. "Stay. For me."

Cal and Alyssa were kissing in the staffroom. The door opened and Iain walked in. "Oh. Sorry."

"Iain. Listen. We've been friends for some time. We have to work together. So... truce?" Cal said as he looked to Iain.

Iain nodded. He shook Cal's hand. Cal smiled. "Going to be a daddy yourself soon. Excited?"

Alyssa scoffed. "Iain doesn't want the baby. So Bailee is leaving. I don't want her to. But she doesn't want to stay where her baby isn't wanted."

Cal looked to Iain. "Wow man. You okay with that?" He asked.

"Gonna have to be. I'm fine. I gotta go. I'm on a shout," Iain said as he turned and walked off.

Cal smiled. "I'm glad I've got you. I love you so much," he said as he kissed her.

"I love you too babe."

The two of them kissed again. Alyssa rested her head on his shoulder. "I'm lucky to have you."

"Yeah. Me too."

Alyssa smiled as she walked over to Bailee. "Hey mama. How you doing?" She asked.

"I'm okay. Sickness is killing me. But it'll be worth it when she's here. You know that despite it all, you're my best friend? And if anything happens to me, I want you to take the baby on. It's okay if you don't want to. But I don't trust anyone else," Bailee said.

Alyssa rolled her eyes and smiled. "You're saying that like you're going to croak it. You're not. You're going to be okay," she said.

"I know. But still."

Cal and Alyssa were lying in bed. They'd just finished having sex. Cal looked to her and smiled. "I love you."

"I love you too."

But despite everything that had happened, could their relationship work out?
