John had finished washing up the dishes as quick as he could because he was worried about Christine and wanted to check on her.
He made his way upstairs and into the bedroom after hearing giggling and laughing come up the hall from Stevie's and Mick's room, he was happy for them, now he just had get Christine happy again.
He slowly made his way into the bedroom, finding her huddled up to a pillow wrapped in her dressing gown and seemingly fast asleep. He couldn't help smile sadly as he saw the tiny ultrasound picture slipped between her fingers and debated whether to take it off her or not, but he decided to let her sleep after pressing a kiss into her messy blonde hair "I love you Chris, I always have and always will!" He cooed, meaning every word, also regretting his own drunken antics because he felt if he hadn't been so lost in drinking, Christine never would have got to the point of trying random drugs with Mick and ending up pregnant to him "I'm sorry darling but I promise I am here for you and the baby, always!" He soothed, laying a few more kisses in her hair and deciding to let her sleep, she needed more rest now for the baby, John thought as he began undressing and deciding to have a quick shower.
Christine stirred slightly but didn't wake properly, just let out a little whimper as she cuddled the pillow closer to herself and John smiled, wishing he had come up with her earlier and held her while she slept, he knew she hated sleeping alone and she always had.
He made his way into the bathroom and turned the shower faucet on, soon stepping under the water and trying to sooth his own whirling mind.
Mick smiled as Stevie seemed to fall asleep not long after letting out a series of her gorgeous giggles. Mick was so glad to have her back with him, so glad also how they were finally together with a baby on the way. He kissed her head and tucked her in, smiling happily, but he also knew his two best friends weren't telling him something and he needed to find out while Stevie was asleep because if there was some sort of confrontation, he didn't want Stevie hearing it, she had been through enough and Mick vowed to himself to keep her safe from drugs, stress and any antics, she was like his responsibility now and was still fragile in his eyes since she had just been released from rehab.
He slowly crept out of the room, not bothering with slippers because the hallway was plush carpet anyway and he soon trundled up it, noticing the McVie's bedroom door was over half way open, he heard the shower running and then saw Christine's feet in the bed and he thought she might have been laying there, smoking, drinking or writing and he walked in, surprised to find her asleep, he also realised John was in the shower and he slowly sat down on the bed "Hey Chris!" He said softly and she didn't phase him, she just kept sleeping. He decided to wait until John was out of the shower, his best friend was awful at keeping secrets and Mick knew he would easily get the truth out of John.
Mick twiddled his thumbs as he waited and then his eyes flickered across a small picture that he noticed Christine was holding, out of curiosity he gently peered at it and then slid it from the loose grip she had on it.
His eyes then widened in shock, it was an ultrasound picture, at first he thought it was Stevie's then his eyes darted over the date on it and Christine's name, it then hit Mick as he glanced at the older blonde, makeup ran down her face, her hand on her stomach, she was pregnant and Mick instantly suspected it was his baby "Fuck!" He muttered, standing up and staring at the picture, it all made sense why the McVie's had acted so odd now, they were at the clinic.
John wrapped a towel around himself and then walked back into the bedroom, stopping in his tracks as he saw Mick stood there in the room, staring at the picture "You know then!" John sighed, not knowing what was going to happen now.
"Its mine isn't it?" Mick asked bluntly, placing the picture back near Christine's hand.
John didn't know whether to attempt to lie or to tell the truth.
