Part 11.

"Come on up." Sharon and Dennis go round behind the bar and follow Chrissie upstairs. She leads them into the living room where she sits down and looks up at Sharon.
"Whats this about. Sit down." Sharon sits in the armchair and Dennis purches himself on the arm of it. They both look at Chrissie.
"Sam is selling us her share of the Vic."
"She's what? I thought this place meant so much to her and her flaming family, thats all shes harped on about for the past few months and then she goes and sells it!"
"Yes she has and now we want Dad's half."
"But thats impossible Sharon, hes dead or had you forgot?"
"How could I forget that his so called wife watched him have his brain bashed in and then bury him in the cellar of his own pub? I wont forget that in a long time!"
"Sharon that night you came back I was trying to get Den to sign the Vic over to me, I had had all the papers drawn up and everything. I mean I already owned half but I wanted full control of it. He wouldn't sign it."
"Have you still got the papers?"
"Yeah somewhere. Why?"
"Doesn't matter. I'll get my solicitor to draw up a new contract where Dad signs his half over to me." Chrissie looks at Sharon in disgust. She had always thought of Sharon as her friend, she had tried to get on with her for Den's sake but had always been jealous of the special relationship Sharon shared with her Dad.

"But Den isn't here to sign them." Dennis looks at Sharon.
"We forge his signature Chrissie. Doesn't take a genius to do that now does it. Me and Sharon want this and nothing is going to stop us."
"It's forgery though, you could get into trouble."
"You're going to sign it Chrissie."
"No I won't! Den wouldn't want this, not you two together under this roof. I'm not doing it." Sharon stares at Chrissie.
"Chrissie, Sam has sold us her share of the Vic to keep the police out of this. What have you done? Nothing. Now do you want us to contact the police and tell them where to find Den Watts or will you do this?"
"What about me though? This is my home and my livelyhood. If I don't have this place i'll have nothing, nowhere to go." Sharon looks at Dennis.
"Come outside a minute Dennis, I need a word." Sharon and Dennis go out onto the landing and close the door.
"Dennis i've thought of the perfect solution. We give her the flat, she can have that, move in there."
"Our flat? But thats ours Sharon. Its our special place."
"Dennis this will be our special place once we get it. We'll spend the rest of our lives together here with our baby. What do you say?"
"She mightn't go for it."
"Theres nothing else on offer is there?"

Dennis and Sharon re-enter the living room. Chrissie is stood looking out of the window over to the market. She turns around when she hears the door opening.
"Chrissie if you do this for me and Dennis you can have our flat. I'll get my solicitor to draw the contract up and we'll give you the flat. We wouldn't see you homeless."
"What about my job though?"
"There are plenty of bars and clubs around here Chrissie, you'll easily get a job."
"But this is my pub."
"Not anymore it isn't." Chrissie turns and stares out of the window for a few minutes.
"Right i'll do it but there will never be any police involved. We'll all continue to think that Den ran off with another woman. Ok?"
"Ok with us. I'll get the contracts drawn up." Sharon and Dennis turn and walk out of the room.

Chrissie is left sitting on the sofa crying. Shes been left with nothing because of that man. She hates his guts and wished that she had never married him. She was happy out in Spain, she had a great life until she met Den.

great! :D go sharon and dennis, even though i do feel a bit sorry for chrissie! :) post more very soon please, cant wait

same i feel sorry for chrissie but i definitely like the fiesty sharon! :cheer:
den really is evil even now hes dead!! :crying:

ahhhhhhhhh.... poor Chrissie... Sharon is so unforgiving... it's not as if she cared about Den in the end... she told him that he wasn't her dad as her dad was dead and buried next to her mum... Chrissie needs Jake to cheer her up... ave just had a brill idea... he can give her a job in the club... yey

Thanks for the replies, i'm sure Chrissie will find her feet!

Part 12


The next morning Sharon received the contracts from her solicitor. She was going over them at the breakfast table whilst Dennis was reading the paper.
Sharon looked up at Dennis and smiled. She couldn't believe that her dream was coming true. She was having a baby that she never dreamt she could have with the man she loved with all of her heart and they were going to be living in the Vic. Life had dealt her some cruel blows in the past but everything was perfect now.
"I love you Dennis." Dennis looked up from the paper at Sharon.
"I love you too."

Half an hour later Sharon had been dressed and was putting her jacket on in the hallway. Dennis was standing next to her with the contracts in his hand.
"Where are we going first?"
"Sams. I want to get this over and done with first, at least that way we'll have half the Vic if Chrissie backs out."
"Will you get the police involved if she doesn't?"
"Of course not Dennis. If i'm honest they've all done us a favour. After what he did to us I don't think I would want him knowing our child." It was hard for Sharon to admit that but she knew deep down that if her dad was still around he would try his hardest to spoil things for her and Dennis.
Dennis locked the door behind them and they set off for Sams. He pressed the doorbell and within a couple of seconds Sam answered.
"I wasn't expecting you this early, i'm not even ready.
"I want to get this over with Sam and move on, we need to get things moving as quickly as possible."
"Why so quickly?"
"You'll find out soon enough." Sam lead them into the living room and sat on the sofa. Sharon handed her the contract and Sam took her time and read it through.
"So when will I get the money?"
"As soon as you sign it I will take it back to my solicitor who will draw up the deeds and then the money will be transfered into your account."
"Good." Sam read the last page and then reached for the pen.
"What's happening with Chrissie?"
"What do you mean?"
"Well I can't see you getting along together when you're both trying to run the pub."
"Shes not going to be there much longer. Shes agreed to move out and live in our flat."
"Chrissie giving the pub up that easily?!" Sharon didn't answer this question.
Sam looked back down to the contract and signed it. After everything she had been through to get the pub back, it was back in the hands of the Watt's again.

Sharon and Dennis walked over to the Vic from Sams.
"What will we do if Chrissie doesn't sign it Dennis? We need the pub to raise our child in."
"She'll sign it Sharon, i'm sure she will. If not we'll offer her money as well as the flat, that might make her change her mind."
"Yeah." They walk into the Vic and Chrissie sees them. She signals for them to come round the back of the bar.
"Upstairs." Chrissie leads the way into the kitchen and she sits down at the table.
"I take it you've got the contract sorted? Lets have a look." Sharon had had the solicitor draw up the contract stating that Den had signed his half of the pub over to Sharon for nothing. There was another one signing the deeds of the flat over to Chrissie. Chrissie was reading it when Sharon said,
"We thought you might have changed your mind about doing it."
"Why would I do that? I'll be glad to get rid of the place what with him being downstairs. No, I think the best thing for me is if I move into my new flat and get on with my life."
"Thats what we all want Chrissie. You might think i'm being a heartless bitch wanting this place back but you out of all people will understand why. Me and Dennis are having a baby!"
"What? I thought you couldn't?"
"Thats what we thought. We want to raise our child in the Vic Chrissie, I grew up here and I want our child to as well. Can you understand? I'm not doing this to be nasty."
"I understand Sharon." Chrissie practices Den's signature on a piece of paper and then signs the contract.
"There, all done. This place is yours now, make the most of it you two."

Sharon looked at Dennis and smiled. She had everything now and wasn't going to mess up this time.
"When do you want me out by?"
"We've got to pack our things together as well so say a few days?"
"Ok." Dennis and Sharon walked out of the Vic and back to the flat. They would have to start telling people the news about the baby as Sharon was starting to show. Right now all they could think about was jumping into bed together and celebrating the fact that they were back where they belonged, in the Vic.

fab! :D they have the vic back! but i would have thought chrissie would have put up some sort of fight! :) more very soon please, cant wait

wow... this is great... brill... i hope Chrissie's ok... can they get rd of Zoe as well??? please post more... more more more

wow brilliant! n now they can live happily ever after? right!! :cheer: :clap:

Thanks for the replies.

Part 13.

The next couple of days went by in a blur. All they had seemed to do was pack and then unpack everything again over at the Vic. Sharon was putting out photos of Vicki on the sideboard in the sitting room. Dennis came up behind her and put his arms around her waist and nibbled her ear.
"Dennis!"
"What? I can't help it if I find you irresistable!" Chrissie had moved all of her belongings over to her new flat a couple of hours earlier. Dennis had helped her carry the boxes over and left her to sort things out.
"You know darling, we're going to have some explaining to do."
"What do you mean?"
"Well when everyone find out we have the pub back, they're going to wonder whats gone on. And the baby, you're starting to show and I think its about time we let people know."
"Yeah, people will start guessing soon when they see me but about the pub all we have to do is say Chrissie sold it to us, they'd never question that, they've got no reason to do so. I do feel sorry for Chrissie though. I mean shes lost everything because of dad."
"I know, all shes got is the flat. Maybe she could come and work here still? I mean in a few months you won't be able to work behind the bar the size you will be and when our baby's born you'll be with it."
"I never thought about it like that. Maybe Chrissie might come back, I mean she might have something lined up already but I might ask her."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The day had been a long one to say the least. Telling everyone that Sharon was pregnant made them both feel really happy and excited but it was exhausting telling every person individually and answering all the questions that came afterwards. They had both locked up and were lying on the sofa together in the sitting room.
"That was exhausting! We should have hired a loud speaker to drive around the square and shout the news out, would have been easier!"
"Yeah but I prefered to see the look on their faces, especially Dot's! She was so pleased for us Sharon. If you agree I would like her to be our baby's godmother, she has looked out for me so many times, ever since I arrived here and I know she will do the same for our baby."
"Dennis thats a lovely idea, I think she'll be over the moon."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sharon had a restless night. Everytime she drifted off to sleep she would wake up startled. Dennis slept like a baby, he didn't notice Sharon tossing and turning all night.
"Morning darling, you sleep ok?"
"No Dennis, hardly slept a wink, tossed and turned all night."
"What for? Was it the baby?"
"Oh no, baby was fine. Its dad."
"What about him?"
"He has to be moved, I can't go on living here with him downstairs."

Sorry for the delay

Part 14

Dennis looked at Sharon, not quite taking in what she had just said. He loved Sharon and would do anything to make her happy.
"Move him? Sweetheart hes buried under six foot of concrete, not as if I can dig him up with a shovel without anyone noticing."
"Dennis i'm not stupid and I know that what i'm asking is a lot but I can't go on with him down there, not when our baby is born. Do you really want him under the same roof as our baby?"
"No I don't but what are we going to say? More importantly, what are we going to do with him when we've dug him up?"
"I don't know, haven't thought that far ahead yet. We need to move quickly though. You'll be able to hack your way through the concrete, even if it takes a couple of days, at least I know that he'll be gone in a few days."
"Are you sure you want to do this? What about Chrissie and Sam, what will they think?"
"They'll understand and its not as if we're going to turn them in or anything, we'll throw him in the canal where he should have stayed."

Sharon got out of bed and put her dressing gown on and walked into the kitchen. She filled the kettle and set it boil. She got four slices of bread out of the bread bin and put them in the toaster. Dennis appeared at the doorway.
"I'll move him tonight. Best to get it over and done with, can't be having you not sleeping, not when you're expecting our precious one."
"Dennis, don't forget about my scan later today, thats more important than dad."
"I wouldn't forget about that darling, going to find out whether we're having a boy or a girl."
"Do you really want to know? Do you not want it to be a secret?"
"I want to know, I can't wait Sharon, i'm going to be a dad!"
"I don't want to know what it is, I want to wait and see."
"Don't worry darling, I won't breathe a word, it'll be my little secret."

Later in the afternoon Dennis came back to the Vic to find Chrissie behind the bar with Sharon.
"Take it you spoke to Chrissie then?"
"Yeah, shes agreed to work here till she finds something else."
"At least it'll give us chance to find someone else before the baby is born."
"Well I was thinking that if you worked here behind the bar we won't need anyone else, not with Tracy and Little Mo."
"I've got the bookies though darling."
"Pat seems to be doing a good enough job with that. You won't be here all the time you know."
"I'll be with you and our baby most of the time, want to spend most of the time with the two most precious things in my life."
"Did you get things sorted?"
"Yeah i'll pick the stuff up after we've been to the hospital. We best be making a move now darling, don't want to be late." Sharon went and got her coat and told Chrissie and Little Mo that she was popping out. They both got into a taxi and headed for the hospital.

Part 15

They walked through the hospital corridors and found the department they needed to be in. Sharon had always dreamt of coming here for this reason but never thought that she would actually be doing it. They booked in at the reception desk and took a seat in the waiting area. Dennis took hold of Sharons hand and gave it a little squeeze. She looked up and into his eyes and could tell how excited he was. She smiled at him lovingly.
"Miss Watts." A nurse with short hair and glasses was standing near the reception desk with a file in her hand. Sharon and Dennis both stood up and followed her down the corridor and into a room.

"If you would just pop yourself up onto the bed Miss Watts and we'll do your ultrasound. If you'd just like to take a sit there." She looked at Dennis and pointed to the chair next to the bed. Sharon got up onto the bed and the nurse undid her trousers and lowered them to her waist. Dennis took hold of Sharons hand again and held it tight. He was so excited, all he was hoping for was that the baby was healthy. The nurse squeezed gel onto Sharons stomach and spread it around with the scanner. She looked closely at the monitor for a couple of minutes and then smiled.
"You're about 20 weeks pregnant Miss Watts, everything looks fine. Do you want to know the sex of the baby?"
"I don't but Dennis does. I want it to be a surprise so hes promised not to tell me."
"Ah right, well we'll leave you to get yourself dressed and if you follow me outside Sir i'll give you the good news."

Dennis followed the nurse outside and she turned and looked at him.
"I'm pleased to tell you that you're expecting a girl. A healthy little girl."
Dennis couldn't believe what he had just been told. Sharon had made hs dream come true, he was going to have a family of his own. Sharon came to the doorway.
"Is it safe to come out now?" Dennis turned and took her in his arms and hugged her tightly. The nurse walked off and left them alone.
"I'm so happy Sharon, you're giving me everything I have every dreamt about. I'm so proud of you."
"Whats got into you?!"
"You! The baby! Everything! I can't believe that everything has worked out for us."
"I know, after everything dad did to split us up. He'll be turning in his grave as we speak now."
"Yeah well not for long as he'll be gone by tonight."

Sorry about the delay!

Part 16

Sharon and Dennis got a taxi back to the Vic. Sharon got out of the taxi and turned to Dennis.
"Will you be long?"
"No not too long sweetheart, be back before locking up."
"Ok, see you then." Sharon shut the car door and watched it drive down the market. She turned and walked into the Vic.

Dennis arrived back an hour before locking up and gave Sharon a hand behind the bar and collecting glasses. He couldn't keep his eyes off her, he loved her so much and wa already feeling so protective of his unborn daughter that he would kill anyone who tried to harm either of them.
Sharon locked the doors after the last drinker had left and turned and hugged Dennis.
"I love you Dennis. I can't believe that this time a couple of months ago we were so many miles apart and now look at us. Expecting our first baby, being back in the Vic, back in each others arms. I just can't believe how lucky I am. There's just one thing spoiling it."
"And i'm going to sort that now. Go upstairs and get into bed, I don't want you to be down here when im doing it."
"But I want to be with you, I can't expect you to do this on your own."
"Its not going to be a pretty sight and I don't want you to see it. I'm fine on my own darling. Now the sooner you go upstairs, the sooner I can get started."
"Ok but i'm coming with you when you've got him in the car."
"Sharon no. You're not going to be part of this in any way. What if someone sees something? I don't want both of us ending up behind bars, I want you to be looking after that precious baby inside of you."
"Oh Dennis maybe this is a bad idea, maybe if I jsut get used to the idea that hes here and always will be."
"I'm not going to let him come between us and our little-"
"What were you going to say there?"
"Nothing!"
"You were going to say little boy or little girl! Just stopped yourself in time though."
"I know." Dennis turned and switched the bar lights off and followed Sharon through to the back.
"Go on up. It'll be over with soon." Sharon walked up the stairs and went into her bedroom. She knew Dennis loved her and would do anything for her, which he had proved to her numerous times.

Dennis went into the cellar. He had placed all the tools in there when he had come back. He started hacking at the concrete which was even harder than he thought it would have been. He knew that he had to do this, he had to get rid of him once and for all. He carried on hacking at the concrete for 10 minutes and stopped. He was making too much noise and he wasn't sure what people would think. If it was coming from the Vic they would get suspicious. He turned and walked upstairs and into the bedroom where Sharon was lying curled up in bed.
"I'll have to do it tomorrow darling, making too much noise."
"What will we tell people though?"
"That we've got a problem with the drains or something, they'll never know."
"We'll have to keep Little Mo and Chrissie out of the cellar tomorrow then."
"Well that can be your job coz you still not going anywhere near there till hes gone."

wow... Oooh i hope no one finds out... will Chrissie figure out what they're doing... awwwwwww they're so sweet... yey yey yey... please post more soon...

surly chrissie wil know what theyre doing though!! :searchme:
more soon please!!!!!! :wub: :bow: :cheer:

brill! :D hope no one finds out what theyre doing! :) more very soon please, cant wait

Part 17

A couple of days later Dennis was nearly ready to remove Den's body from underneath the concrete. It had taken him ages to dig the concrete up. Chrissie had asked Sharon what they were doing in the cellar earlier in the day.
"We're getting rid of him."
"Den?"
"Yes, I can't go on living here with him in there. Dennis is diggin him up and we're getting rid of him."
"But where are you going to take him?"
"To the canal where he should have stayed all those years ago."
"What if someone sees you."
"Don't worry Chrissie, no one will."

Dennis waited till the pub had been locked up and Sharon was tuked up in bed before he removed the body into the back of his car. The smell was horrible when he finally unearthed the body. He dragged the body out and placed it into the boot of his car. He placed an old rug from the living room over the top of the body to cover it up. All he had to do now was to drive to the canal and dump the body.

He closed the boot of the car and started to walk around to the drivers door. He looked up and saw two police officers making their way over to him.....

noooooo... oh please don't let him get caught... what about Sharon and the tiny ickle bebe... please god don't let him get caught... more more more... please post more soon...
