~*~

It's been at least 2 weeks since that confrontation in Fergal's living room which led to them kissing and Fergal walking out leaving Pam in tears. Since that day when Pam comes over to see Abby or if Fergal drops Abby off at Pam's apartment Fergal acts like nothing and when Pam tries to talk about it with him he just shut her out and doesn't say anything about it or just changes the subject intentionally and Pam's starting to get fed up.

Two days later it was Pam's turn to go to Fergal's house to have her visitation and she was determined to corner him to get him to talk to her. She stood at the door before she knocked and as she waited she could hear voices before she could recognize the voices Abby opened the door smiling with excitement before she hugged her mum letting her in as Pam grabbed her hand while Abby lead her to the living room to where she guessed was Fergal talking to someone. Pam walked into the living room with Abby to see Fergal in conversation, laughing with Mercedes on the couch as Pam stopped dead in her tracks and watched them in shock at how they acted with each other.

"So l tell him, dude you can't do that and what do you think he did?" Mercedes said asking Fergal as she giggled holding a glass of white wine taking a sip.

"Oh my god, no way, don't tell me he did it" Fergal replied laughing as he too took a sip of his wine as he sat there looking at Mercedes with his arm around her on the back of the couch as they talked.

"Oh yeah he did it alright and fell flat on his face in the progress" Mercedes laughed as she placed hand on Fergal's shoulder to hold herself up as she laughed hysterically before Fergal laughed along with her.

Pam couldn't take it anymore and she coughed loudly making sure she gets their attention as they both stopped laughing and turned around and saw Pam standing there with Abby as they looked at her before Pam spoke.

"What's so funny and who are you talking about?" Pam asked as she walked into the living room and towards them before Mercedes stood up placing her glass down.

"Hey Pam" Mercedes said "just telling Fergie about Joe and what a klutz he is" Mercedes giggled as she turned to look at Fergal before they burst out laughing again making Pam uncomfortable and like a third wheel.

"Ahhh, Okay" Pam replied as it got awkward between the three in the room before Mercedes spoke up, braking the tension.

"Right, I should be going Joe's waiting for me, don't want him falling over again" Mercedes laughed as she picked up her bag.

"You sure you can't stay for another drink?" Fergal asked as he too got up from the couch.

"I'm sure Fergal, maybe another time. It was great catching up with you" Mercedes replied before she and Fergal smiled at each other.

"You know I'll hold you up to that offer right?" Fergal asked raising his eyebrows at her.

"I know you will, I'll see you later Fergie" Mercedes said before they both leaned in and pecked each other on the cheeks as Pam watched them stunned.

"We'll organise it, here let me walk you to the door" Fergal replied placing his hand on Mercedes's back as he led her out of the living room.

"Thanks Fergie, bye Pam it was good seeing you, take care" Mercedes said as she walked past Pam as Fergal walked her to the door as Pam watched them.

Walking her to the door, Fergal and Mercedes then turned to each other before they again leaned in and shared a quick hug saying goodbye to each other once more before Mercedes walked out. Fergal waved at her before he closed the door then took a deep breath and walked back into the living room seeing Pam standing there as Abby sat on the couch playing with her iPad.

"You and Mercy seem close" Pam said as soon as Fergal walked back in.

"She's a very dear friend and she was there for me and Abby after you walked out on us" Fergal replied almost snapping at her but he held back not wanting to make a scene in front of their daughter.

"You're never going to let it go are you?" Pam asked trying not get upset as she looked Fergal in the eye.

"I've let it go Pam a long time ago, in fact I let it go the day you left it doesn't mean I still don't hurt, I do and so does Abby" Fergal said packing up the glasses as Pam followed him into the kitchen.

"What's going on with you and Mercy, you seem too close to be just friends" Pam asked wanting to know what is going on with him and Mercedes.

"That's none of your business" Fergal snapped now upset that Pam would ask him that.

"It is my business, I'm looking out for Abby here. I need to know" Pam snapped back now too getting upset that Fergal won't tell her what was going on with him and Mercedes.

"Are you serious, now you care do you?....... You know what, Mercedes is seeing Joseph Anoa'i and she's happy. We're friends Pam, just friends!" Fergal yelled before he walked out of the kitchen and back into the living room.

"Okay so your just friends but what about us Fergal?" Pam asked following him back into the living room. On the way back to the living room Fergal and Pam saw Abby across the hallway in opposite room drawing pictures and colouring in.

"There is no us Pam!" Fergal said turning to face her now.

"Two weeks ago you kissed me, right in this living room, how do you explain that?" Pam asked now standing right in front of him waiting for an explanation. Before Fergal could reply his phone rang looking at her Fergal pulled his phone out and answered it.

"Yes, hello?" Fergal said after he answered his phone. "hey man! Yeah, no no its no worries, yep I'll see you soon, its no problem I'm on my way....." Fergal was saying to who ever was on the other line before he hung up.

"You were going to say?" Pam asked looking at Fergal as he pocketed his phone.

"I have to go, I'm needed at the PC" Fergal replied as he grabbed his keys and wallet.

Before Pam could say anything, Abby walked in holding a picture she just drew with a big smile on her face as she held the picture up to show her daddy.

"Daddy look at my picture" Abby said as Fergal smiled down at her.

"Wow sweetheart, its beautiful. Look, daddy is just popping out for a bit but when I get back we'll put it on the fridge okay" Fergal replied to Abby as he bent down to her level so he can look at her in the eyes.

"Okay daddy" Abby said before she and her daddy hugged while Pam watched them.

"Pam" Fergal said before he turned and walked out of the house as the door closed behind him.

"Mummy, look at my picture" Abby said now showing Pam her picture.

"Oh sweetie its beautiful, who are these people here" Pam replied then asked as she pointed to the three stick people Abby had drawn.

"Well, that's daddy, that's me and that's you mummy" Abby said pointing at each one as she told Pam who they were.

"You know what?..... I love it!" Pam smiled at Abby before she looked back at Abby's picture praying that one day she'll have that, one day.
