The characters and the show are trademarks of and copyright British Broadcasting Corporation. I am just a fan. This all takes place right before Melanie left for America. ---------------- EpisodeOne ---------------- Stee walked into the square on a hot sunday afternoon. "Well, guess I'm home then." He said, walking to The Queen Vic. As he walked in he noticed Pauline Fowler chatting away with Dot Cotton. He walked up to Pauline. "Err, Pauline?" He asked. Pauline looked into Dots eyes. "I know that voice." She said, gulping. She turned around and looked at Stee. "Stee Owen." She said looking at him. Dot looked at Pauline. "Owen, as in..." She was cut off. Pauline nodded. "As in Steve Owen." She said. Dot gasped. "What cna I do for you?" She asked. "I'm looking for me dad." Stee said. Pauline got quite. Stee hadn't heard his dad had died in a crash yet. "You need to talk to Melanie." She said. Stee cringed. He hated Melanie. Only Melanie, Pauline, Peggy, Phil, and Steve himself knew of Stee. Steve had had Stee's mother killed 13 years ago. Only 3 years after Stee was born. Stee had hated his father and ran away when he was 11. He eventually landed himself at his granfather's farm. He hadn't spoken to his father in 3 years. Stee walked past Peggy and bumped her arm. Peggy gasped. Phil walked out after Stee left and looked at his mother. "What's wrong Mum? You look as though you've seen a ghost." "A son of a ghost is more like it." She simply said. Phil looked at her inquisitively. Stee walked up to Melanie's doorstop and gathered himself. He rang the doorbell and waited. Melanie opened the door, puttin on one ear ring. She gasped. "Stee?" She asked. "What are you doing here?" She said, a tear forming in her eye. "Thought it was time to pay me dear old dad a visit." He said rolling his eyes, walking past her into the flat. "DAD?" He yelled. "It's your little sonny boy." He said laughing. "DAD?" He yelled again. Melanie walked in after him. She was tearing up. Stee shook his head. He knew something was wrong. He ran up the stairs into Steve and Melanie's room. He opened the closet to find all of Steve's close gone. Melanie walked in. "Where's me Dad Mel?" He asked crying. She walked over and sat him down on the bed. She got on her knees and held his hands. "There was an accident darling." She said crying a bit more. "Phil..." Stee shook his head and shushed her. "I understand. I don't wanna know the gory details Melanie." He said. He whiped away his tear and stood up. "So, you have room for your ex-stepson to crash for a few months?" He asked. She smiled and nodded. "I'll get a job babe." He said. She shook her head. "I'm going to, err, see someone." He said. Stee walked into The Queen Vic. He walked up to Peggy. "Where is your son then?" He asked. She gave him an angry look. Don't you start stuff Stee." She said. Phl walked in. He smiled at Stee. "Stee Stee! Long time no see see." He said laughing. I rolled my eyes. "So, ya killed me dad then?" Stee yelled. Everyone at the pub looked at them. Phil gave him an evil look. "Not here." Phil said. Jamie walked up. Jamie and Phil had a falling out at a new years eve party about Jamie not telling Phil that Lisa's daughter was his child. Stee smiled. "Hi there." He said winking at Jamie. Jamie looked oddly at Stee. Phil smiled. "Oh ya, you like cock now don't you Stee?" He said smiling. Stee smiled. Jamie looked oddly at him again and walked off. Peggy rolled her eyes. "Shut up Phil." She said. "The boys just lost a father and you have to go and insult him." Peggy smiled at Stee, like a grandmother. Phil rolled his eyes and walked out. An hour later after a few rounds at the bar Stee left. Peggy decided to walk him home since he was a few past already. They got up to Melanie's dorrstop and Peggy hugged him. "Look, I know what a cock your father and my son have been to you. But if you ever need anything, I'm here." Stee smiled and hugged her. "Well, you know any good gay clubs round here?" He said laughing. Peggy rolled her eyes, laughing. She shook her head and walked away. Stee had lost his keys so he knocked on the door. Melanie was gone. Just then he heard the front gate shut. Someone tapped him on the shoulder. He turned round quickly and smiled at Lisa. Lisa gasped. "Lisa, finally, someone I like." He said smiling. He only knew her from a visit he made, staying well hidden from anyone. Steve didn't want anyone knowing of his gay son. Lisa smiled. She had the baby. "Oh, Lisa, you have a baby? Who's the daddy?" He asked. Lisa smiled, walking past him and unlocking the door. They walked in and she started speaking. "Phil, actually. " She said smiling. Stee laughed. "So, last time you were here you bitched out Steve, Melanie, Pauline, Peggy, and Phil. Who's next?" She asked. He laughed. He smiled at Lisa. "Where's Mel?" He asked. "She's at her travel agent." She said. "Where's she going then?" He asked. "She's leaving for America actually." Stee sat down on the couch. "Why America?" He asked. Lisa smiled at him. Stee used to have a crush on Lisa actually. What he had come to tell his father was that he was indeed a bisexual. He figured this would cheer his dad a bit. As his father might want to know that he did in fact like girls. But not as much as boys. "Well, see, Beppe had purchased the E 20 the day, err." He nodded, knowing she didn't want to mention his father's death. "So she has decided to go back." She said sadly. "I'm really going to moss the cow in fact." She said laughing, but then a tear formed and she excused herself. "I'll be back, can you change Louise please?" She said. I nodded. She walked out. Stee smiled at Louise. "Hey Babez. I'm Stee. Steve's son. Don't hold it against me." He said giggiling. "I am here, well, I was here to see me dad. But now he's, well he's dead." Louise cried a bit then. "Don't worry Babez." He said smiling, a tear coming out of his eye. "Not only do you have one dad, you have two. God you're so frickin lucky. Hehe, though Phil isn't much of a dad is he? Don't hold that against him either though." He said smiling. The baby smiled and let out a giggle. "Haha, He is an ok bloke Babez. You understand what I'm sayin don't ya?" He said. The baby smiled again. She was a bit of an angel, she was. Melanie cleared her throat. He turned around and smiled. He didn't notice that She, Lisa, Pauline, Peggy, Little Mo, Kat, and Phil had walked in. Phil smiled and laughed. "A good bloke am I?" He said laughing again. Stee walked over to Kat and Little Mo and hugged them. He hadn't seen them in ages. Everyone sat down. "So, the reason we're here is because you need to leave." Phil said. "For how long? The night?" Stee asked. Melanie shook her head. "For good swety. They..." She said eying Phil and Pauline. "Don't want 'your type' here. They're words not mine." She said. "My..." I said stopping. Melanie nodded. "Type." She finneshed. I shook my head laughing. "I want you to come with me though." She said smiling. "To California." Stee shook his head laughing. "No, I'm staying. And I'm taking me dad's place." Stee said laughing. "I am taking over E 20." He said. E 20 was a pub. Stev had sold it to Beppe the day he died. "But Beppe owns it." Phil said. Stee laughed. "Are you that stupid Phil? A little head goes a long way." He said otioning his hand in front of his mouth like he was giving an air blow job. Lisa smacked her gob. "You gave Beppe head?" She said giggiling. Pauline shook her head. "Honestly." She said. Stee laughed. He stood up, walked to phil, placed his hand over Phil's mouth and kissed his hand. "I'm done here." Stee said standing up. He got up and walked outside. Later that night at the pub Martin Fowler walked in to see a drunk Stee talking with Peggy. "They want me to go to the U ESH AAA with Melanie." He slurred out. Martin walked over to him and sat down. "So you're Stee then?" Martin asked. "Who wants to know?" He slurred again. Martin extended his hand. "Martin Fowler." Stee pulled Martin into a kiss. Martin resisted a bit at first then went with it. Stee ended the kiss and smiled. "Good old Marty Fowler." He said laughing. "Your Mum's a bitch." He bluntly said. Martin gigled a bit. Peggy returned. Martin, Peggy, and Stee were the only ones at the pub that night. "Peggy knows it." He said laughing. "What's that dear?" She said kissing him on his forehead. "Oo, you've got a fever dear." She said. "That Pauline's a bitchy little cunt." Peggy smiled and nodded. "Oh yes, that she is." She said smiling. "But, Martin would agree when I said so was I." She said laughing. She handed Martin the keys to the pub. "I'm off to bed dears. Will you lock up Martin?" She asked. He nodded. Peggy went upstairs. She looked back at them, as if she knew what was about to happen, and turned the lights off to give them some privacy from wondering eyes outside. Martin was shaking a bit. Stee took his hand and kissed it. "Don't worry. No one has to know." He smiled. Stee kissed him. After a few hours of making out and a bit of touching they walked out of the pub smiling. Martin locked the pub up and kissed Stee again. "See ya in the morning..." He looked around to make sure no one was there listening. "...Lu-vuuur." He said smiling. Martin blushed a bit and kissed him godd night again. What they didn't notice was Phil was watching the whole thing, smiling devilishly. ----------------- EpisodeTwo ----------------- Martin walked out of his bedroom the next morning after a 20 minute "battle" with a raging erection remembering what he and Stee had done the previous night. He remembered Stee's golden locks. His perfect tan/cocoa coloured skin tone. He smiled, walking into the kitchen. Pauline was sitting down crying. Mark, Lisa, and Louise where there as well. Lisa smiled devilishly. Mark looked at her and she frowned. Mark looked madly at his younger brother. "What the hell is it then?" He yelled. Phil walked in right after him smiling. "I was just telling everyone about You and Stee's little hump fest last night." He said laughing. Pauline sighed again. Martin rolled his eyes. "Oh shut it Phil. So what. We didn't fuck or anything." He said laughing. "In fact, he kissed me you dick." He said smiling again. Pauline looked up and rolled her eyes, crying more. He rolled his eyes at her. Mark slapped his shoulder. "So what, we kissed, it's not like that makes me queer." He said smiling again. "Well, maybe a little." He stood up again. "I got work, see you lot later." He said smiling as he exited the door. Stee was at the Queen Vic having his bagel and talking with Melanie. Martin walked in and blushed a bit as he saw Stee. Stee smiled and nudged Melanie. Melanie giggled a bit and excused herself. Martin walked over and sat on Stee's lap, kissing him. Jim and Dot rolled their eyes. Barry laughed a bit. Peggy smiled at the new couple. Phil nudged her to shut her gob. Martin looked into Stee's eyes. "So, was that spontanious enough?" He asked. Stee nodded and walked Martin to his job. Stee walked into Mel's place and heard talking. He walked to the kitchen door and stood there, evesdropping. "I just don't know what to do with him Belinda." Oh shit, she was talking to his mother. He left right there. Stee walked into the E 20 which was closed then. He walked down the stairs into the manager's office. He heard moaning. The door was opened so Stee peaked in and saw Beppe masterbating on a sofa to some ponogrophy. Stee walked in and smiled. "Got an extra hand for me?" He asked smiling. After Martin got off of work he went straight to Melanie's home to see where Stee was. He knocked on the door. Melanie answered and smiled. "He's upstairs." She said before he asked anything. Martin walked into Stee's new bedroom. Which yesterday had postors up. But now was stripped bare. Stee walked out of his walk in closet, completely naked. Martin let his eyes wonder downwards to view Stee's cock. Melanie walked in unexpectedly. She saw Stee and put up her hand so not to see his naked body. She giggled a little bit. "Stee, the car will be here at noon tomorrow. I looked at him. "Car?" Martin asked. Melanie gave me a sad look, then looked angrily at Stee. "You didn't tell him Stee?" She asked. "I'm going with Mel." He simply said with no enthusiasm. Mel threw a pair of rolled up socks at him. "Talk with him." She said walking out of the room. He smiled at Martin. "I decided to go with Melanie." He said again. "I'm already sick of Phil and Pauline. Oh," He said looking at Martin, "Sorry, no offense." He said. Martin laughed. Martin moved closer to him and kissed him. "Please stay with me Stee." Martin said. "I don't want to be the only gay pearson in Albert Square." He said softly. Almost like he was about to cry. Stee walked up to him, lifted his chin and smiled. "Ok, I'll stay. But there are three gay people. There's me, you, and Beppe." He said smiling. Martin smiled and kissed him. He had himself a lover finally. ------------------ EpisodeThree ------------------ Stee walked downstairs after Martin left. "Melnaie, we need to talk." He said looking in at Melanie. She was crying. "What is it then?" He asked. She got an angry look on her face. "That bitch Lisa!" She declared. Melanie and Lisa were best friends, so he was confused. "She told me that it Wasn't Steve that shot Phil." Stee looked odly at her. "The day we got married, Phil got shot. I had thought your dad did it. Maybe if I knew this sooner he wouldn't have..." She started cying. Stee walked over and hugged her. "It's ok." Stee said kissing her forehead. "No it's not. I went to tell Phil, and he knew. I can't believe Lisa, Mark, and Phil knew but didn't tell me. Those bastards!" She declared. She stood over. Melanie walked over to the coat hanger, got her coat, and put it on. "I'll be back round 8 tonight. Pack your bags, we're leaving tonight... Stee walked to Pauline's house. He rang the doorbell and Mark answered holding Louise. Mark looked angrily at Stee. "You screw my brother, turn him into a fag and you have the nerve to come to my mum's doorstep? Your a disgrace." He said. Stee rolled his eyes. He entered the house and went to Martin's room. He walked right in and saw Martin wa cleaning his room. "Martin, baby, I'm going with Mel." He said. Martin frowned. Tears started welling in his eyes. "Come with me." Stee said smiling. A devilish smile came over Martin's face. He realized he had nothing to lose, but everything to gain. His family hated him, his friends turned their backs on him. But right in front of him was his lover who loved him more than life its self. He nodded. "When?" He asked. "We're leaving round 8 pm tonight." Stee said. It was already 3 pm. "Right, come back round 7:30 tonight." He said, kissing Stee. Martin packed his bags then went downstairs. He saw his mother sitting at the kitchen table. "Mum." He said. She smiled at him. "We need to talk." She nodded. "What about then?" She asked. "As you know, I love you and Mark, and Lisa, and Louise so much." He said. "But now I've found someone else to love and I feel you're turning your back on me." He said. Pauline frowned. "Oh sweet heart, I love you. I don't care if your gay, straight, or if you like fruits or vegetables." Martin laughed. "You're my son." She continued. "And I love you." She said. "And Stee?" He asked. She smiled. "Well, if you love... him, then I guess i'll have to accept that. I almost lost Mark doing that, I will not lose my other son for the same reason." She said smiling. Martin broke down. "I'm going to America." He said. Pauline gasped. "What?" She said. "With Melanie and Stee. I'll be back in no time. I promise." He said. Pauline started crying. She was losing her son. She hugged him. "You are coming home soon right?" She asked. "I'll be home for Thanksgiving." "But that's in NOVEMBER!" She screamed. "I'll stay a month." He said. She started crying. "When are you leaving?" She asked. "8 tonight, but I've got to leave in a few minutes to say bye to everyone." Pauline cried even more. "But I'll come see you again tonight, I swear." He said. He kissed her cheak and went to pack his bags. Melanie walked up to Peggy. "Peggy, I've something I need to tell you." She said. Lisa looked at her from behind the bar. She shook her head and mouthed 'no.' Peggy and Mel walked into the back room. Mel and She were were gone for 5 minutes. Lisa, Mark, and Phil gathered round each other nervously. Peggy walked out. She raised a glass. "To Melanie, and her future son or daughter." She said drinking up. Melanie walked to Lisa. "I told her I was pregnant. I didn't tell har about Phil though. I wouldn't resort t your level." She said With that Melanie walked outside. Stee walked to Beppe who was inside E 20. "Beppe." He said. Beppe smiled. "I'm leaving today." He said smiling. "Can I have a farewell blowjob then?" He asked. Beppe walked over to him and got on his knees. Martin finneshed talking with Jamie, Robbie, and he was preceding to talk with Sonia. "Look, if you do get Chloe back, ring me and I'll send you some cash, ya know, like for financial purposes." He said. A few years back Martin had knocked Sonia up and got her pregnant. She gave the baby up for adoption, but was trying to get her back. Sonia smiled and kissed him on his cheak. She nodded. Jamie walked in. "So, you lot gonna miss me then?" He asked. Jamie smiled and shook his head. "Na, you'll be better best forgotton." He said laughing. Martin got up. "You leaving so soon?" He asked. "Ya, gotta go see Mum again, I promised her I would." "This ust be horrible on her." Sonia said. Martin nodded. "Ya, it is. But I'm in love." He slapped his mouth. Jamie didn't know he and Stee were together. "You and Melanie?" He asked. Sonia laughed. He had told her a few minutes ago about Stee and Him. He shook his head. Jamie got a confused look on his face. He suddenly looked up. He smacked his hand over his mouth. "YOU AND STEE???" He asked loudly. "Shhhh, be quite." He said laughing. "I must be off." He said. He gave sonia a hug. He walked to Jamie Jamie was a bit uneasy around him. "Oh shut it and hug me bitch." He said. Jamie smiled. Martin grbbed Jamie's ass and he jumped back. He started laughing at the shocked Jamie. Jamie hugged him again. "Take care Mate." Jamie said. He started tearing up as did Martin. Martin nodded. "Right Mate." He said. Jamie and Martin embraced again, crying rather loudly. Sonia giggled. They were like brothers. Martin walked into Pauline's home for the last time. He looked around and saw his Mum, Lisa, and Mark sitting in the sitting room. Lisa was feeding Louise. Mark stood up. "What do you thin your doing? Running off with a faggot to America?" He screamed. "Lower your voice Mark." Pauline said. "Well, I love him you bastard. And why don't you shut the fuck up and worry about your own problems instead of mine." Martin said. "I've gotta go." He said as he heard the doorbell ring. He knew it was Stee. Lisa spoke up. "Wait, is Melanie still angry?" She asked. "After hearing you went pistol crazy on her dead huisband I'd think so." He said. Lisa looked upset, almost taken to tears. Stee walked to Lisa. "Look, I'm sorry, tell her that." She said. Martin nodded. He hugged Lisa and kissed baby Louise. He walked to Mark and hugged him. "I love you Man." He said to Mark. Mark smiled. "Now you have fun." Mark said. Pauline looked up from her book. She motioned for Martin to come and give her a hug. She hugged him and gave him a kiss. "I'm losing my son." She said crying. "No your not." He said. "You'll be gaining a grand daughter." He said about Chloe. "When I come home I want to hold my daughter." He said smiling. Pauline smiled. "And you've just gained a duaghter." Stee said walking in. He pointed to Lisa. Lisa smiled. "Ya, you have me now as well." She said. Pauline looked at Stee. "And a new son." She said to Stee. Stee smiled. "Come give me a hug." She said. He did. She whispered in his ear. "Take care of my son." She said. He nodded. They all walked outside and saw the whole lot from the square outside. Melanie exited her car and looked around. She saw Lisa smiling and waving at her. Melanie gave her the evil eyen and got back in the car. Stee lent in to Lisa. "She'll come round." He said. Stee got in the car. Martin hugged his Mum once more. "Now you call me Martin." She said. He nodded. "I will." He said. He hugged her and kissed her again. He got in the car. The people in Albert Square watched as they drove away. ---------------- eastENDers ---------------- Ok, that is episode's one-three. Expect more soon. Well, about other characters.
