June almost skipped into the canteen and sat down next to Craig.
"Don't tell me...you've come to eat all the food again?" he asked,
"Oi ...I am pregnant,� she told him,
"I did notice,� he pointed to her large bump, "so when are you due now?" he asked.
"Um.... 8 weeks" she smiled.
"And you're still working?"
"I tried staying at home but I was bored out of my brain!"
"June... you were at home for a day"
"Exactly." she laughed. She looked around to see Tony and immediately got up to go talk to him. "I'll be back in a minute." She told Craig.
She walked up to Tony,
"Um...Tony can I have a word?"
"I'm busy.�
"Please?" she asked putting her hand on his arm.
She led him into an empty interview room, "Have you been avoiding me?" she asked.
"I've been trying." He mumbled.
"Why?" she asked sincerely, he looked down at her stomach, "we can still be friends can't we?" she asked smiling.
"I don't think so." He moved to leave.
"Look...Tony I know you're upset about me and Jim."
"Yeah...of course you know June you.... Jim... your baby? You're all going to have a great life!"
"Tony please don't be like this. I... me and Jim are happy and yes we are going to have a great life with OUR baby." She replied firmly. "But you are my friend, you always have been and hopefully you always will be." She watched and waited for his response. "Tony please? I want this baby to have an ... uncle Tony. Someone he or she can go and winge about me and Jim to. Someone who's going to be there just in case or baby-sit even. I can't stand the thought of you hating me Tony... and although he won't admit it Jim doesn't want to fight with you. I want us to be okay again." She smiled warmly.
"I'm sorry." He sighed and walked out. She put her hand over
"Damn." She whispered.
Jim was in his chair in CSU when June walked in.
"Hello." He smiled giving her a quick kiss. "How are you feeling?"
"A bit tired - I tried to talk to Tony...he wasn't having any of it." She told him as she lumped into a chair. She rested her hand on her stomach, and this thing won't stop kicking."
"This thing...."
"The baby." She smiled at him.
"Our baby." He smiled widely and she nodded in response.
"Look I need you to go to Crompton Street for me."
"Yeah sure - the Matthews again?" He asked,
"Yep... complaints from four neighbours last night." She sighed, "I would go myself but... well you know I am pregnant." She smiled sweetly at him as she leant back in her chair.
"How could I forget?" He asked, "you kept me up all night last night." He said as Cathy walked in.
"Oh please." She sighed in disgust.
"I meant with the microwave. You could eat for England!" He scolded.
"Well so do you...what's you're excuse?" She giggled.
"You know what?"
"What?"
"I'm going now�" He smiled walking out.
June struggled along the corridor, attempting to hold herself upright and call for Tony at the same time.
"Tony... I." She was breathing deeply.
"What's wrong now?"
"Oh God!" She cried, "I don't.... I don't... ugh!" She grabbed his hand,
"Um...is it the baby?" He asked.
"Yes... yes." She cried.
"Okay come on I'll get you to the hospital."
"But it's too soon." She cried, "far too soon".
They were in the car.
"Oh God where's Jim?" She grabbed the dashboard. Tony looked across at her, "Look... June... I'm sorry."
"Not now Tony please just get me to the hospital. Please." She sobbed.
"God this hurts so much�" She cried.
"Really?"
"Yes!" She shouted. "S... sorry Tony, please just get me there." She told him. She looked as she heard a familiar sound. "No." She cried.
"I thought there was petrol in it June I am so sorry." He panicked looking out to see no cars or people about.
