" oh well I suppose I'd better get back to the joys of nappies and colic" Serena sighed
"I'm sorry what?" Mo spluttered
"Jason's baby Guinevere?"
"Guinevere!"
"I know" Serena rolled her eyes "before I go, a toast - to Jac, to Mo and, I never thought I would say this, Guy Self"
They all toasted with Serena
"Bye then you two" waved Serena going to find a cab
"Another Mo?" Sacha asked, not really fancying going back to a lonely house. With Jac in hospital and Emma staying at Fletch's tonight he would be alone with his thoughts
"Oh go on then you twisted my arm"
"Here we go" Sacha returned with a bottle of wine
"So let me get this straight, you're staying at Jac's?"
"Mm it's a bit of a long story"
Mo gestured to the full bottle of wine in front of them
"I've got all night Levy"
Sacha went on to tel her about his depression and suicidal thoughts.
"She's not quite the heartless bitch she would have us believe is she" Mo commented when he had finished his story
"No she's not. Not at all"
"Where are you staying Mo? Actually how long are you staying?"
"I need to book into a hotel later. I just came straight here when Fletch called. And I guess I'll stay as long as I'm needed"
"Why don't you stay at Jac's tonight? It's late to book into a hotel"
"Mr Levy" Mo laughed with mock shock
"Oh behave yourself, you know that I didn't mean that"
"I know. Thank you"
They finished the wine and headed back to Jac's
"You have Emma's room since she's at Fletch's tonight"
They walked into the very pink bedroom. On the bedside table was a photo of Emma in Halloween costume with Jac and Fletch
Mo picked it up "Somebody wants another daddy. Sacha are you sure they're not together. Look at this"
Sacha held the photo - he's never seen it before, he wondered if Emma had put it in the frame since Jac had been away. He doubted Jac had seen it
He noticed the happiness on all their faces. For all the world it looked like a perfect family snap
He shook his head and smiled
"Jac'll freak when she sees this"
Mo laughed "you never know, it might be the kick up the backside she needs"
"Night Mo"
"Night Sacha. Early shift tomorrow?"
"Yeah, I'll meet you for breakfast in the kitchen at 6.45am"
"Yessir"
