Stevie woke up early, making Lindsey a big breakfast and setting it up for him on a tray. She brought it to bed and set it on the nightstand.

Stevie felt like she owed him a lot, wishing she could do more. She decided to clean the apartment top to bottom.

Stevie was just dusting the windows when she jumped, hearing a voice behind her

"What on earth do you think you are doing?" Lindsey asked sternly

"Cleaning"

"Why are you out of bed?"

"I wanted to pull my weight around here," Stevie explained

"You shouldn't be stressing like this. You don't owe me anything."

"I feel selfish."

"Stevie if I didn't want to do this I wouldn't, I love you and..." Stevie interrupted him

"What?" She asked not sure she heard right

"I said I wouldn't do this if I..." Once again she interrupted

"No after that!"

"I love you..."

"After everything I've done?"

"When you love someone-none of that matters."

Stevie walked over to Lindsey and wrapped her arms around him

"I love you too!" She looked into his eyes

He stared into her eyes and slowly kissed her. She pulled away, unsure if this was okay.
Lindsey quickly assured her by kissing her again.

Pulling her as close as her body would let him, he cradled her head, moving his mouth seductively over hers, pulling back they joined foreheads

"Woah!" Stevie said breathlessly

"Yeah woah!"

"I didn't see that coming," Stevie giggles

"You have no idea how bad I've wanted to do that since I found you again."

"So why didn't you?" Stevie asked stroking some stray curls out of his face

"I didn't know how you felt about me...after everything that happened I couldn't be sure it's what you wanted"

"I'll always want you," Stevie kissed his nose

"I'll always be here for you."

They stood like that for minuets, just holding each other round the waists

"You fancy going for dinner  tonight?" Lindsey asked after a moment

"Ooooh yes please!"

"There's a new dinner down town that I'd love to go try!" Lindsey had wanted to go there for a while so he decided on a dinner date.

"I don't have anything to wear." Stevie looked down, still dressed in the tshirt from yesterday

"You stay in bed and I will go out and buy you something nice."

"Linds, you don't even know my size..."

"I remembered from before, add a little for the baby and we should be good!"

"Thank you honey!" She loved being taken care of

"Promise me you'll stay in bed?" Lindsey was worried she would carry on moving to much

"I promise baby, now hurry back please, I'm hungry" she winked, even though she had eaten some toast in the kitchen whilst making Lindsey's breakfast

"Anything I could bring back for lunch?" Lindsey asked

"Pizza?" Stevie shrugged cutely

"I'll make it happen," he kissed her head and went to get ready

The day was spent relaxing, eating pizza and talking about the old days, once it was time to go out for diner, Lindsey told Stevie to go check the box on the bed. Walking up to it she opened it and gasped

"Lindsey! It's so beautiful!"

The dress he had chosen was a chiffon material, with lots of flowing layers, the middle was tight ish so it would show off her growing belly, and it came to and end just below her knees

"You deserve to be pampered," Lindsey came up behind her and kissed her shoulder. "And I'm going to pamper you."

"Thank you so much. I don't know what to say."

"Say you'll be my date tonight"

"I'll be your date!" Stevie smiled, turned round and kissed him

"Great, now get that dress on and let's get going!" Lindsey gave her a final kiss and left the room to get changed himself

Half hour later and they were both dressed up and ready to go spend a romantic evening together

"M'lady," Lindsey opened the door for her to the restaurant, gesturing for her to enter.

"Why thank you kind sir." She nodded, walking into the dim lit place.

"This is too much!" Stevie told him as they looked over the menu

"Nothing is to much for you Stephanie!"

Looking through the menu, Stevie decided on a pasta dish, and Lindsey a fish

"This is such a nice place!" Stevie said looking around, there was an open grill so you could see the chefs cooking the food

"My manager took me here one time, the food is to die for."

"I haven't had a good meal since we left home!" Stevie tried to joke

Stevie was still laughing when she looked behind Lindsey and stopped dead

"Steph what is it?" He asked worried

"J..J...Jimmy..."

"Hi Stevie," Jimmy greeted nervously as he approached their table.

Lindsey visibly tensed and clenched his fist.

"How are you? H-how's the baby?" Jimmy asked, gesturing towards her stomach

"I suggest you walk away right now before I fucking end you!" Lindsey looked at him finally

"Lindsey! Stop!" Stevie scolded him

"You're defending him? He abandoned you and got you fired!" Lindsey argued

"Look buddy, I had my reasons." Jimmy spoke

"I'd love to hear the reasons as to why I found Stevie and your baby living on the street."

"The...the street? You were homeless?" Jimmy said to Stevie shocked

"Yeah, I had no money and lost my home"

"Oh my God I'm so sorry...is the baby okay?"

"She's fine" Stevie said

"It's a girl?" Jimmy smiled and so did Stevie

"Yes," she nodded

"May I?" He gestured towards her stomach, receiving a nod from her.

Jimmy kneeled down beside her and placed both of his hands on her bump. Neither of them noticed Lindsey leaving.

After a few minutes of smiling to each other and little words, Jimmy said he had to get back to work, but not before writing down his telephone number

Stevie put it in her purse and went to speak to Lindsey, but he wasn't there, looking around she couldn't see him, he had put the bill money on the table so she walked outside, finally seeing him sitting on a bench, head in his hands

"Lindsey?" She approached him carefully, placing her hand on his back which he shrugged off

"What?" He asked sharply

"Why are you being like that?" She asked obviously clueless

"I'm sorry, but I can't watch you be all cosy with the man that left you when he found you were pregnant!"

"And you didn't do the same?..." Stevie spoke before she thought and caused Lindsey to shoot his vision to hers

"You know what, I don't even care, it's not my baby," he spat back, standing up and walking down the street.

"Lindsey-wait!" She called after him, following him

"You told me you loved her!" Stevie began to cry

"Stevie, you didn't see your face when he was touching your belly" he wiped some stray tears away

"He was acknowledging that we have a baby! My daughter will know who her father is! Of course that made me happy!"

"Maybe you should go live with him too! Then she can have a proper family with her REAL father!" Lindsey replied sarcastically

"Maybe I should...."

Nothing more was said as they got into the car and drove back to the apartment, walking through the door Lindsey headed straight for the bathroom

"Linds please..."

"I think you should leave..." he told her with his back facing her

"Baby, please. Jimmy means nothing to me." Stevie walked up to him and wrapped her arms around his waist

"Get off of me."

"Lindsey!"

"It didn't look like he meant nothing Stephanie...now leave me alone" he was trying to be strong but felt so weak

"Please...don't do this to me again...I'm begging you!" Once again she tried to grab him

"Stevie, this isn't going to work. Jimmy is going to stick around now and I can't deal with that. Go to Jimmy." He said with finality.

"But....I want you."

"And what's going to happen when I want to hear her call me daddy? Or I want to go to parents evening at school? What then?" He looked at her, wanting a truthful answer

"Then you'll go." Stevie said simply

"What about Jimmy?"

"I don't know."

"Well you need to know Stevie! Either I'm going to be this babies main dad or I'm not"

"You can't make me chose that!" Stevie said hurt

"He got you fired Stevie, he didn't want the baby, how can you want that?" He just couldn't understand it

"I saw him tonight! He's changed his mind!"

"What do you mean he's changed his mind?" Lindsey asked

"He's wants to be a dad to her"

"Oh, well that's just amazing" Lindsey threw his hands up

"Lindsey Buckingham! You didn't want to be a father to her! You called her a bastard child when you found out! Jimmy wants us!" Stevie screamed at him

"But who's here now Stephanie Nicks" he mocked her

"I picked you up off the street, I loved you...both of you, and I vowed to take care of you both! Now I'm the bad guy and suddenly he's a saint!" He said fuming

Stevie said nothing but began to walk towards the door.

"Where are you going?"

"To find Jimmy," slamming the door behind her

Lindsey ran to the door and flung it open

"Stephanie get back here right now! You will not go to him!" He watched her continue to walk away

"You're not my father! You're not anything to me!" She called over her shoulder. He watched as she stopped and hunched over, grabbing her stomach.

"Steph?!"

"I'm fine."

"No your not!" He ran over to her and placed his hands on her stomach but she pushed them off

"Come back inside, you heard what the doctor said, you need to take it easy!" He said worried

"How can I take it easy living with you!" Lindsey wouldn't admit it but that hurt him greatly

"If you get inside and get in bed....I will go find Jimmy and bring him to you," Lindsey told her

Stevie looked at him and thought for a moment

"You promise?"

"Yes" he couldn't believe he was doing this

Lindsey got Stevie back inside and into bed, before he left she spoke again

"Lindsey, promise me you won't hurt him..."

"If it would hurt you then no I won't touch him" he swore and left to go get Jimmy

Jimmy was finishing his shift at the diner when he saw Lindsey approaching him.

"Look man, I don't want anymore trouble," Jimmy held up his hands

"I haven't come to give you any...Stevie has had some pain just...and she wants you" it killed Lindsey to have to say it

Jimmy couldn't get his jacket fast enough before he was following Lindsey back to Stevie

"Should I bring her anything? Does she need anything?" Jimmy asked nervously.

"No, I've given her whatever she needs" he wasn't going to talk to Jimmy anymore than he had to

Once they reached Lindsey's place he guided them through and to the bedroom, he opened the door and watched as Jimmy ran to the bed where Stevie was sitting

"Jimmy," Stevie reached for him

"Hey," he held her hand and sat next to her on the bed. "How do you feel?"

"Worn out...I need to cut the stress out" she flicked her eyes to Lindsey

Lindsey watched as the pair in front of him held hands and gave each other sweet glances whilst talking about the baby

Lindsey couldn't watch anymore, he pulled the door to, and walked out onto his balcony where he finally let his tears fall

"I've lost her again, I just know it" he said tearfully up to the stars

He decided then to harden his heart. Jimmy could have her. He would always love her but she proved to him that the love was not returned.

Pulling himself together he walked back to the bedroom and opened the door again

Jimmy was still sat on the bed, his arm was around Stevie's shoulders and her head was resting by his neck, both their hands were on her bump

"Both of you need to go," Lindsey announced seriously

Jimmy looked between Lindsey and Stevie, who simply nodded

"Jimmy, is it possible to come home with you?"

"Of course sweetheart!" He helped her up off of the bed, she didn't have any things so they didn't need packing

"Jimmy, can you just give us a minuet please?" Stevie asked and watched as he left her and Lindsey alone

"Go, Steph," Lindsey couldn't look at her, but his voice didn't waver

"Not until we talk."

"What is there to talk about? You want to have this baby with Jimmy, what can I do to stop that?" He shrugged

"I want to make sure that we are okay. You are the closest person in the world to me." Stevie said softly

"Obviously I'm not Steph...otherwise you wouldn't have chose him"

"Lindsey you just asked us to leave"

"Yes, because I knew the second you two saw each other in the restaurant I'd lost you again"

"I'm sorry," Stevie said and walked past him, out the door.
