Joey Lynch had been keeping a huge secret from you.

You two met when he started at Tommen College, repeating his final year of schooling. You had been friends with his foster brother Johnny and promised to keep an eye on Joey since you had many similar classes.

You knew Joey was hiding something from you. You two had become close friends but every time you asked to hang out, he would seemingly cancel out of nowhere.

Until today.

When you went over to the Kavanagh house with Shannon, Joey’s sister. You were sitting inside when the back door opened and Joey entered, frantically looking for Edel.

In his arms, a baby rested.

Joey had a baby? Your mind was spinning at the revelation.
