Unexpected Phone Calls

5 weeks later *Stacey's Pov*

I slammed my hand down on the alarm as it bleeped that irritating sound that awakens me every morning.

"You are going in the trash" I huffed out as I crawled underneath my warm quilt again. That was when Hannah decided to wake up also...screaming through the baby monitor.

"Ugh! Really Hannah?"

I dragged my body out if my cave and made my way to her bedroom. There she was. Crying and jumping up and down in her cot.

"Okay...You got me up...Now, what do you think about..." I picked her up and grabbed her blanket and Iron Man teddy. "...Having a pajama and movie day with mommy, hmm?"

She seemed to like the idea...well she mumbled something that sounded positive anyway.

I carried her back to my room and turned the television on, grabbing a DVD from the shelf.

"What about... 'The Little Mermaid'...or 'Monster's Inc!'" I turned around to face Hannah who was in the bed and I held the DVD's in each hand.

"Monsta!" she pointed to Monster's Inc. I smiled and inserted the disc. I sat beside Hannah on the bed and played the film.

Half way through the film, Hannah began to stir. "Da-da" she reached for the picture frame on the table. It was Robert, me and Hannah at Christmas. "Dada!" she looked up at me, "Where Dada momma?" she asked, I could feel myself tearing up again.

"Uh...he's away to work remember?" I reassured her and she nodded.

Yes, Robert has been away for five weeks, and yes he said that he would be back in a month, and YES he is a week overdue. We have Skyped...three times over those weeks, but he's probably just, you know...really busy.

My phone went off and I literally threw myself across the room to reach it, "Hello? Robbie?" I asked, probably sounding like some sort of whacko.

"Did he tell you? Did he?" The voice hissed over the phone. I could feel myself tremble a little at the tone.

"Who is this?"

It chuckled for a moment before answering, "You don't care anymore Stacey...he's done with you, you hear me? DONE. He's already got himself a new girl...I'll even send Ya some pics eh?...he's not gonna contact you...so stop waiting by that phone of yours...he ain't got feelings for Ya anymore doll, your old news...goodbye Stacey..."

I pulled the phone away from my ear. To my complete and utter shock, there were three pictures of Robert with another girl they were...in some room against the wall...This can't be...he loves me...we're having a baby...I needed some comfort...so I decided to call Anna.

Robert's Pov

Swearing to myself, I stumbled up the set of stairs to the hotel room I've been staying in. I fumbled with the door handle for a moment until I achieved the challenge of opening my own door Well done Rob! Gold medals all around!

I closed the door behind me and locked it, dropping my keys, phone, my lighter and cigarettes on the table and grabbed a bottle of wine as I dumped my jacket and bag onto the leather couch in the sitting room, slipping my shoes off in the process.

I'm tired.

I'm moody.

I'm desperate to get out of this fucking place.

"Fuck, I hate my job..."

I sat down onto the couch, heavily with a loud sigh. I leaned back and closed my eyes.
