Chapter Text
it was a warm summers afternoon in Emmerdale, The Woolpack was pretty busy with pub goers wanting food and drink, Ross walked in to pick up Moses
"Wheres Charity?" Ross asked Chas who was busy with a customer
"I don't know maybe in the back, go and have a look i'm a bit busy" Chas said
Ross walked round the bar heading to the back room.
Meanwhile in there, Johnny had come to play with Moses, they were both playing with duplo lego on the floor building houses and cars while Charity and Vanessa were sitting at the table drinking a glass of wine catching up with what was going on in each others lives,
Vanessa looked over to the two boys playing together. "Look at them, they're have the best time" Vanessa said watching the boys playing peacefully.
"Yeah, who would have thought that our kids would be the best of friends" Charity said as she kissed Vanessa passionately.
Ross came in looking for Moses "Looks cozy" he said.
Charity was scared out of her skin "Oi, have you heard of knocking?" she said angrily "can't you see i'm busy".
"Yeah not taking any notice of my son but instead your kissing her" Ross said pointing at Vanessa "Just admit it, you like her".
Charity gave Ross the death stare as if to say Shut the hell up, "you are so rude" she said.
"Right little man, shall we get you home?" Ross asked Moses trying to ignore Charity.
Moses looked tired he had so much fun with Johnny.
"Right little man say goodbye to your friend" Ross said.
Moses high-fived Johnny before giving his mum a hug.
"You be a good boy for your dad, Johnny will be over again another day ok?" Charity said hugging Moses.
"Ok" Moses said with a huge grin on his face.
“I love you” Charity said waving at Moses
As they both left, Charity looked over at Vanessa, who looked upset.
"I'm so sorry babe, he can be rude" Charity said.
"its ok" Vanessa said, she couldn’t cope with being upset in front of Charity so she decided to get up to leave.
"babe don't go I'm sorry" Charity said.
"I just need five minutes" Vanessa said as she walked towards the door.
Noah walked in from riding his bike he looked a bit hot and tired, he watched as an upset Vanessa walked straight past him and left.
"Whats wrong with her?" Noah asked.
"Ross caught us kissing and he got angry because apparently i wasn't watching his son" Charity said quietly.
"I'll go and talk to her, you stay here and look after Johnny" Noah said.
as he left Charity just sat there, she was so angry with Ross. She was counting on Noah to find Vanessa
Noah was riding around the village looking for Vanessa, he finally found her in the graveyard of the church.
Noah approached her slowly just in case she was angry, "Hey are you ok?" He asked.
"Yeah I just needed five minutes" Vanessa said sadly.
"Why here, out of everywhere else in the Village, why Specifically here?" Noah said as he sat down next to her
"Because of him" Vanessa said looking at Finns grave "I mean, why was Finn so much different to his brother, He was funny and kind, he was a lovely guy, on the other hand Ross can be a bit rude and a bit hard on Charity although i do understand why she’s as stubborn as a horse.
"I suppose, So tell me the story of you and mum, she never told me how you two got close, i’d love to hear it” Noah said.
"Well I got really angry at her because she was saying that Megan and my dad were back together and she was trying to make a huge joke out of it then she went down to the cellar to scrape a barrel. I followed her down there and in the process I accidentally locked us in there, we sat there for half the night drinkingen out of a whisky bottle and then the next thing i knew she was kissing me, I woke up the next morning with a sore head" Vanessa explained.
"Wow" Noah said surprised, you had a good night then
"I know, and it’s quite a story".
"listen" Noah said "this is the happiest of seen mum in ages, and I think she has feelings for you and I would love it if you were together.
"Really?"
"Yeah, I think you two can hit it off".
"Can I tell you something?" Vanessa asked.
"Sure, you can tell me anything".
"I think I might feelings for her too" Vanessa said "its just, whenever I'm around her, my heart races and I get butterflies but don't tell her".
"your secret is safe with me" Noah said.
While Noah was talking to Vanessa, Chas came into the back to find Johnny asleep in the chair and Charity sat at the table feeling sorry for herself.
"Whats wrong?" Chas asked a very quiet Charity.
"Nothing" she replied.
"Wheres Vanessa".
"Missing".
"Missing? What do yo mean missing".
"She got upset and ran away" Charity said "Noah is looking for her now".
"What happened?"
"Can you just stop with the questions!" Charity said angrily.
"I'm not leaving until you tell me" Chas said.
"Fine" Charity said "Ross came in when we were kissing and apparently i wasn't looking after my son when he was perfectly happy playing with Johnny".
"Well, he can be rude" Chas said.
"I'm also a bit annoyed because I've got mixed emotions about Vanessa,
"What do you mean?"
Ross said "admit it you like her" hes right I do like her. Charity said she felt a bit better after saying that "Don't tell anyone, especially Vanessa".
"I won't tell a soul" Chas said.
Both Charity and Vanessa have admitted there feelings for one another to another person but what will happen will it work out or will it all go wrong?
