Chapter 7

The strictly class were at the O2
Dot. Uncle Neil
Neil. Whats up dotty
Dot. Why you shouting at auntie stacey and uncle kevvy on the bus
Neil. We weren't shouting we were laughing.
Dot. Okay
She ran off and joe held her hand.
Pash. What did she want neil
Neil. I think the kids are catching on to the secret
They had started using code words for it because the kids were around.
Stacey was sat next to kev cuddled into his side.
Kev. What's a matter baby.
Stace. Feel like shit
Kev. Aww darling. How come
Stace. Stomach hurts
Kev. Come here.
He pulled her into his lap and put his hands on her stomach gently
Kev. Your growing a little human in there Stace. Really Kev I didn't know
Kev. Oh shut up.
They started going through the group dance and you could see Stace was getting frustrated with herself so kev pulled her to the side
Kev. Your doing perfect baby.
Stace. Don't lie
Kev. Well seen as though you're pregnant not used to the heels AND a non dancer you are doing perfectly well
Stace. You sure?
Kev. Positive. Come on. You can do this
Stace. Love you
Kev. Love you too baby
They went through the dance a couple more times and stacey was still pale and throwing up. It got closer to the show and I shook my head.
Kev. She can't dance like this
Frosty. Ummm we can change the script a bit and push yours and Staceys dances so your last and try to give her a chance to get better if you want
Kev. Ye but we can't risk this. Right
Frosty. Let's just see how she copes first and if by half way she's still not well then we'll have to tell everyone that some of them will have to dance a couple more dances to fill that gap up
Kev nodded and Stacey walked in and she was very pale
Kev. Come here baby
She went and sat next to him and cuddled into his side. He felt her head and kissed the top of it.
Kev. You can't dance today bby. Your not well
Stace. Okay
Kev. Neil can you go and get frosty for us and some paracetamol and water.
Neil. Ye two minutes
He walked out and came back with frosty and some tablets and water and Stacey took them.
Frosty. What's up kev
Kev. She's not dancing tonight. No way
Frosty. Right umm how about we do a couple group dances and you two can stay back here.
Stacey nodded and cuddled into Kev.
Kev. We have your appointment tomorrow so we will see if everything is ok. Ye?
Stace. What if it's not. What if I can't have kids what if
Kev. Stacey don't panic that'll only make it worse. There's other options. IVF adoption surrogate foster. Let's just take it one step at a time ok.
Stace. Ye I guess.
On stage
Ore. Welcome everyone. Now before we start we have a few announcements. Stacey and kevin sadly will not be dancing tonight as Stacey is extremely ill and everyone's safety and hygiene comes first. We will however add another couple in and a group dance so it's not a waste of time. Thank you and sorry for any inconveniences.
Kev. Come on we'll go in the lads dressing room where it's more quiet.
They went into the changing room and Stacey curled up on the sofa. Janette came in and sat next to stacey.
Jan. aww babes how you feeling
Stace. Like shit
Jan. I know what you mean. It doesn't necessarily mean anything is wrong. My morning sickness was bad like this as well. It'll stop soon enough I promise.
Stacey nodded and they hugged and janette went off to the side stage and Kevin sat down next to stacey and she hugged into him
Kev. Feel any better
Stace. Little bit
Gorka walked in and smiled
Gorka. Soooo. Do you have some news
Kev. No why
Gorka. Come on I think everyone is catching on. I heard you all talking about it on the bus. Are you actually then?
Kev. Actually what
Gorka. Having a kid. 
Stace. Maybe we don't know yet
Gorka. Ok then. Get well soon Stace
Stace. Cheers gorka
Kev. By mate
Gorka. See ya Kev
Stace. He's a good lad gorka.
Kev. Ye. Feel better now baby
Stace. Ye still not great but better
Kev. Well it's a work in progress right?
She nodded and when the show had done they all got back on the bus and to their next show which was in Bolton.
