Can't Be Tamed {Hollyoaks}

Six

Sierra still hadn't told Patrick she was pregnant. She didn't know how to. She also didn't know how to explain she had aborted their other baby. She knew he would go mad.

Sierra woke that morning and grinned. She had stayed at Patrick's flat the night before. "Good morning beautiful."
Sierra smiled and kissed him. "You're getting old. You fell asleep before me," she said.
Patrick chuckled. "You are dating an older man."
"True. But I expect him to have a bit more energy," Sierra teased.
"Don't be cheeky."

Patrick pulled Sierra close to him.
"You were so good last night," Patrick said.
"You like it when I take control?"
Patrick smirked. "More than anything."

Sierra had went on top last night to try to keep the baby safe. Sierra kissed him passionately. "You're beautiful," Patrick said.
"Why. Thank you."
"We should go and eat breakfast."
Sierra grinned and nodded. She put Patrick's black shirt on with her lace pants.

Patrick and Sierra left the bedroom just as Sienna came out. "Morning," Patrick cheerfully said.
Sienna looked at Sierra. "She's wearing your shirt. You hit Maxine when she did that. It looks cheap on her," Sienna said.
Patrick glared at Sienna. "Get out."
Sienna smirked and walked out of the flat.

Sierra remembered when Patrick hit her but said nothing. She sat at the table while he made breakfast.
"Patrick, I met a new girl yesterday," Sierra said.
Patrick smiled. "Yeah?"
"Yeah. She's new to the village. She's got a one year old son."
"She sounds nice. Maybe bring her over some time," Patrick told her.

Sierra knew she needed to confide in the only person who knew about the pregnancy - Annabelle.

Sierra ate her breakfast. She looked at Patrick. "You're amazing at breakfast."
"Why thank you."
Sierra grinned. "I might go shopping today."

Patrick stood and took Sierra's hand. "I think you're amazing."
"I'm honestly not."
Patrick nodded. "You are and I can't wait to have you pregnant with my child."

Sierra smiled slightly. She didn't make a comment. Patrick kissed her passionately. Sierra smiled and kissed him back.

When they finished breakfast, Sierra got a shower and got dressed. Patrick came into the room while she was doing her makeup.
"You don't need that. You're beautiful already," Patrick told her.
"Ha! You're funny," Sierra told him. He went up behind her and ran his fingers through her hair.
"I'm being serious. You're gorgeous."
Sierra turned to him. "I love you."
"I love you too," Patrick said. He kissed her passionately and turned her to one of the bedroom walls. "Our child's cot will be there. You'll be an amazing mum."
Sierra smiled. "You think?"
"I know so."

Sierra left the flat and sighed. She couldn't keep the pregnancy hidden. She walked into the coffee shop and ordered a hot chocolate. "Where the hell have you been staying?" Mercedes asked.
"With my new friend Annabelle," Sierra lied.
"Where is she?"
Annabelle thankfully walked into the coffee shop with Noah.
"There she is," Sierra smiled.

Annabelle went over to Sierra.
"Hey," she said.
"Want a hot chocolate?" Sierra asked. Annabelle nodded.
"Sure. Who's this?"
Mercedes put out her hand. "I'm Sierra's mum. Thanks for keeping her last night.
"No problem," Annabelle said, going along with the lie.
Mercedes walked out. Sierra smiled. "Thanks for covering."
"No worries. I'm guessing you were with baby daddy."
Sierra smiled. "Yeah. I was."

Sierra went to grab her bag and go into town. "Does he know about the baby?"
"No. I can't tell him yet. It's too soon," Sierra said. She smiled. "I'm heading into town. See you later."

Sierra bought some stuff for Patrick and the baby. She felt awful for aborting the last one but she thought it was Sonny's.

Finally, Sierra made her way back to the village. Annabelle was flirting with Dirk. Sierra went over. She needed help to say to Patrick about being pregnant.
"Annabelle, can we talk?" Sierra asked.
"Sure."

The girls went to the Hutch and ordered a light lunch. "I wanna tell him about the baby."
Annbelle smiled. "Do it."
"Will you be there? When I tell him?"
"Sure."

Sierra walked to the flat with Annabelle. She rang the buzzer. Patrick let them both in. "Hello."
"This is Annabelle. The girl I was saying about," Sierra said. Patrick smiled.
"Nice to meet you. I'm Patrick."
"You too."

Sierra and Annabelle sat down. Patrick went over to them and sat down too.
"Can I talk with you?" Sierra mumbled.
"Sure."
Sierra gripped Annabelle's hand. Annabelle squeezed it lightly.
"I'm pregnant with your baby Patrick."
Patrick fell silent. He didn't have the words to speak. "Annabelle, can you leave? I want to talk to Sierra."
"Will you be okay?"
Sierra nodded and smiled weakly. "Go on."

Annabelle left so Patrick looked at Sierra. "How long have you known?"
"Few weeks," Sierra mumbled.
Patrick looked at her. "That's why you were on top last night?"
Sierra nodded. "You lean on me sometimes. That's why."

Patrick looks at Sierra.
"Please leave," he said. Sierra grabbed her things and left the flat. She made her way back to her own house in tears. She didn't know what she did wrong. She knew it was what Patrick always wanted.

When Sierra got inside she ran to her room and cried hard. Sierra went to grab her bags. She began packing. She needed to leave Hollyoaks village to have her baby. She was going to stay with her auntie Jacqui in Alacante.

Sierra ran downstairs and grabbed her medication for her pregnancy. She ran back to her bedroom and continued packing.

Just as she had finished packing, the doorbell rang.

Sierra didn't know what to say. "Why didn't you tell me that?"
"How was I supposed to say that?" Patrick asked.
Sierra shrugged. "I don't know. But you could have told me."
"I know."

Sierra pulled Patrick close to her and they began making out hard. They didn't register the front door opening. "What the hell?..."

Mercedes slammed the door. Sierra and Patrick shot up.
"It's not what it looks like!" Sierra said. Mercedes glared.
"I love your daughter," Patrick said. Mercedes laughed.
"Don't make me laugh."

Patrick held Sierra protectively.
"I love her."
Mercedes said nothing. She seen the roses and knew Patrick had got them for her. "You don't know love."

Sierra now realised she would need to prove that her love for Patrick was real. She just didn't know how to convince people.
