FEBRUARY 2007

BECCA stumbled into the CID meeting room, noticing her fiancé was sat in the room, staring into space. It was late, and Becca's legs were now aching more than ever. Zain glanced up at her, his eyes bloodshot and full of nothing but emptiness.

"Are you okay?" Becca quizzes, placing her hands in her jean pockets. "I know it must be hard, all the stuff with Honey..." she admitted, sitting down next to him.

"It's fine, it's all good." he nodded, wrapping an arm around the brunette. "I just, I'm so knackered."

"So why don't you go home?" she asked, giving him a soft smile. "I can make us some pizzas?" she suggests, smirking.

"Dc Zain Nadir? Im DCI Lees." the couple heard, their conversation interrupted. "Can we have a chat?"

Zain nodded slowly, turning back to Becca and placing a kiss on her forehead before leaving her in the room. Becca was now  just left in the room to collect her thoughts, confused about this whole situation.

Bradley walked in, Smithy following afterwards. The two stared at her, noticing her that she was rubbing her stomach. "Does he know you're carrying his kid, or not?" Bradley questioned as he walked over to his baby sister, sitting down next to her.

Becca sighed, rubbing her head. "I can't tell him now, I can't." she admitted, glancing over at Smithy. "It's not like we've been together for long, we've only been dating for a few months...it's too early."

"So...how far along are you?" Smithy coughed, rubbing the back of his head.

"4 months give or take..." Becca stammered, looking down at her stomach. "I don't wanna tell him yet, all this stuff with Honey...it's too stressful."

"He needs to know soon." Bradley spoke, gazing down at his sister. "That is his baby you're carrying." he says, looking to Smithy for agreement.

"He's got a point, Rebecca." Smithy nods, folding his hands. "You need to tell him soon, before it's too late."

Becca simply sighs, placing her head in her hands. Bradley places a reassuring hand over her, pulling her into a hug. "It's gonna be okay...I promise you."

Becca and Bradley walked into the station, Becca's hands on her stomach as she tried to at least hide her small bump away from Zain as well as any other prying eyes. Becca and Bradley soon went their separate ways, Bradley making his way into CID, Becca going into the changing rooms.
