"I'm sorry Sandra but I really need to run" Helen said as she raced up from the chair

"Of course, is everything okay?"

"Yeah I just really need to see someone about something, sorry I'll have to take a rain cheque on the hair" running out the salon doors Helen took out her phone and googled the address of Lindsey Buckingham hoping that it would come up with something, she breathed relief when it did, she realised that the address shown was literally down the road from where she was, jumping in her car as she drove to the destination

Getting out the car Helen ran to the front door and knocked, she recognised the man that answered as the man from the magazine photo, breathless she spoke

"Lindsey Buckingham?"

"Yes, look if your a fan this really isn't the best time" He didn't get a good enough look at her face in the store to recognise it

"I'm not a fan, and until today I hadn't even heard of you..."

"Then what are you here for?"

"My name is Helen, I have a brother named Paul...and I'm pretty sure he has your wife against her will...unless you've divorced in the past month" Lindsey stood still in shock, he was going to get his Stevie back

"Yes, oh my god yes! Stephanie is my wife, she's pregnant with my child and your brother kidnapped her..." Lindsey's eyes filled up with tears just thinking about it

"I'm so sorry that he's put you through this! He came to visit me the other day with Stephanie and I thought it was quick work her being that pregnant, and she seemed so distant and sad, now I know why...I'm so sorry..." Without realising it Helen had began to cry, feeling the emotions of what Stevie and Lindsey must be going through

"Don't apologise for your brothers mistake Helen" Lindsey wouldn't usually do this to a stranger but he took her into his arms to sooth the both of them

"Take me to your brother I want my wife back!" Lindsey walked past eagerly

"No! If we go in there guns blazing he will do something stupid I know he will, he's not right Lindsey, he's sick!"

"I'm not leaving him with her any longer! I won't do it!"

"I have an idea, we do this my way okay? Trust me?" Lindsey thought then nodded his head, inviting her in to explain her idea to him

Paul walked into the area where he was keeping Stevie and placed some more clothes on the bed for her

"I got you some better clothes when I went out" No answer

"Stevie?" still nothing

"Stevie, answer me!"

"Thanks" Paul sighed and went to walk away again, this woman was more trouble than he thought she would be and he was getting agitated with her

"Wait..."

"What?" He answered sharply

"Can I...can I see him?"

"No Stevie you can't, he's not here any more" Stevie rolled over and cried some more, Paul leaving her as the phone started to ring

Downstairs Paul answered the phone

"Hello?"

"Paul, it's Helen"

"Hey, what can I do you for?"

"I'm feeling a little lonely today, and I wondered whether you and Stephanie would come over for dinner?"

"I'm not sure that's a good idea, she isn't too good"

"Oh please? I would like to get to know her some more, please Paul?" Helen hoped he would agree, and she put her thumb up to Lindsey when he did, hanging up and telling Lindsey she was going to drive him to her house, him agreeing and jumping in the car

"Stevie, Helen wants us to go to hers for dinner tonight, so get dressed" Stevie not willing to argue and silently getting up to get herself dressed once Paul left the room

around an hour later they had arrived at Helens, Stevie getting carefully out the car because she still hurt, they walked up to the door and waited for an answer, when it opened they stepped inside

"It's good to see you again Stepha...did you already give birth honey?" She was worried knowing the last time she saw her she definitely wasn't nine months, Stevie nodded sadly

"I don't want to talk about it" Helen understood and spoke to Paul, setting her diversion up

"Paul?"

"Hmm?"

"My TV isn't working properly and I wondered if you could have a look at it for me...pleeeeeease?" Paul rolled his eyes

"Sure I'll have a look now if you want?"

"Great, oh I'm making a salad and I wondered if I could borrow Stephanie to help me?"

"She's all yours" Paul walked through into the living room and Helen walked Stevie through to the kitchen

"Honey listen to me for a second?" Stevie nodded

"I'm going to show you something okay, but you can't make any loud noises that could alert Paul okay?" Stevie was confused but she agreed anyway

Stevie watched as Helen walked over to the back door and opened it, Stevie almost collapsed when she saw her husband come into view

"Linds..." Stevie broke down and Lindsey ran over to scoop her up

"I've got you baby, it's okay your safe now" he whispered into her ear, stroking her head to calm her

"Linds, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry..." She looked at him

"It's okay Steph, you have nothing to..." He suddenly realised something and placed her back down on the floor, looking at her stomach

"Why so small?" Tears fast approached his eyes

"Paul tried to get my ring off...and I fell down the stairs..." She struggled to talk about it

"Baby?" Lindsey shook his head

"He...he didn't make it Linds..." Lindsey pulled away from Stevie and stormed off to the room where Paul was...
