"I already have bought some things for you, because I didn't know where all your things were and what you wanted. I would have hated to bring something over that somehow reminded you of something bad or depressing, I don't want to put you back on your healing process from the drugs!" Mick explained softly, taking Stevie's hand and leading her down the stairs carefully.

Stevie was warmed by his behaviour "Aw Mick, that's lovely!" she smiled happily "Especially since some of the things you could have bought over have cocaine stashed in weird places in objects that would surprise you!" She chuckled.

"I figured that might be the case, I know what I used to do!" He laughed and kissed the top of her head "You know how strong you are Stevie, for quitting all the bad stuff for our baby and getting yourself healthy, you should be so proud of yourself!" Mick stated and smiled as he rubbed her back.

"You just like complementing me, you big softie!" She giggled and cuddled up to him, feeling a bit tired and unable to stop herself from yawning.

"You deserve compliments and my Daddy to be skills sense that you, Mummy to be, is getting sleepy so I think you should have a little lay down, you need lost of rest!" Mick smiled, pulling back and holding her hands.

"I was sleeping over twelve hours a day in the facility some days and was still tired!" She admitted giggling cutely.

"Well you can sleep as much as you like because you are my little pretty little princess who requires pampering!" Mick smiled and playfully kissed her nose.

"Hey Mr, aren't I your queen?" She asked back smiling cheekily.

"You can be whatever you want, but right now..." He grinned and picked her up bridal style, causing her to giggle and squeal "Right now, you are going to rest in your big comfy bedroom!" He chuckled and carried her off up the hall.

"Alright, but only because growing a baby takes so much work!" She laughed as he gently laid her on the bed.

"Good, I will be here when you wake up so if you need anything, don't hesitate to ask!" Mick smiled and kissed her softly on the lips.

"Thank you Mick, I am so happy to have you!" She smiled and grabbed hold of his hand "Sorry I am so sleepy!" She chuckled.

"Hey don't be sorry, I am even luckier to have you, so get some sleep for you and our little baby!" He smiled and gently rubbed her stomach with his free hand and she smiled before closing her eyes. 




John squeezed Christine's hand as she laid in the hospital bed.  She had agreed to go to the ER with him after the doctors office was too full "I fucking hate this John, you know I hate blood tests!" She frowned at him and squeezed his hand.

"I know honey, but its for you and at least you arent bleeding now!" John smiled and kissed her hand, happy to see a soft smile on her face.

"We cant be gone for too long though, Stevie just got out of rehab, she will think I am doing this on purpose, I am so selfish John!" Christine stammered, feeling her voice choking up.

"You are anything but selfish!" John stated "You are here for the sake of the potential baby, the baby that could have been made unintentionally and you are stepping up, while also still worrying about your best friend!" John smiled and gave her hand another squeeze.

"But John..." Christine started but was interupted as a nurse walked in with a clipboard.

"Mrs McVie, we have your results back and the blood test and urine sample shows a clear indication you are pregnant but we dont know if you have misscarried yet, so we are running more tests now too!" The nurse explained.

"What is the chances then for the baby?" Christine asked nervously, feeling tears build in her eyes as she realised there had been a baby inside of her. 

"Fifty, fifty so far, the bleeding was minium but still enough to be the start of an early misscarriage, so we are bringing the ultrasound machine in for you!" The nurse smiled and then walked off again.

John slowly wiped a tear off her cheek that was cascading down it "It might still be alright!" John soothed.

"I still cant believe I got pregnant from a one night stand I don't even remember!" She stated, still feeling confused about it all. She wanted the baby but also wished it was John's too because she hated how complicated everything was but she loved the baby as she thought about it and she was hoping it was alright.

"Things happen Chris, we all knew it was a possibility and you thought it not long after!" John stated, rubbing his thumb over the top of her hand.

"I just felt my body change, its stupid because everyone would think it was too early but I knew, it doesn't matter now anyway!" She sniffled.

"They are still confident enough to be doing an ultrasound, that has to mean something Chris!" John soothed and kissed her cheek, then wiping away the stray tear that slid from her eye.

"I don't know John!" She shrugged and squeezed his hand, feeling nervous as a nurse wheeled in an odd looking contraption.

"This is what will do the scan with, you need to lift your shirt up and unbutton your jeans for us, it will all be done with soon and we will know what's happening with your pregnancy!" The nurse smiled.
