EastEnders Couples - I love you
Part One- Lauren & Peter
Lauren places baby Louie carefully into his cot before tucking him in and lightly kissing his cheek, smiling as she does so as her son looks more and more like both Peter and Lucy by the day! Lauren grabs the baby monitor and leaves Louie to sleep as she makes her way downstairs she hears sobbing coming from the sitting room.
"Abs? is everything alright?" Lauren asks concerned to find her sister crying her eyes out on Sonia`s shoulder whilst she tries her best to comfort her, unable to speak Sonia gives Lauren a small look of reassurance,
"Abi has just had a terrible shock. Ben has just broken up with Abi" anger filled inside Lauren as she shock her head in disbelieve in how Ben could lead her on so cruelly especially how Jay had ended things! but Lauren knew she needed to calm herself as going round there and kicking off was not helpful on Abi. Lauren places the Monitor down onto the table and sits the other side of Abi both of them waiting for the tears to subside.
Later on that day Lauren made her way towards the shop when she froze rooted to the spot as outside the Vic was Ben kissing Paul! Lauren finally composing herself strides over towards them her fists trembling and her breathing heavy,
"Proud of yourself Ben! Not only breaking your best mates heart but you also lead her on and humiliate her! how could you?! after all the times that she stood by you!" Ben blushes looking to the floor as Jay comes over looking just as guilty,
"Lauren listen.."
"Jay please don't even think about defending him!" Jay looks stung by this making Lauren look taken aback as she smiles inwardly reliesing how Jay always cares for Abi no matter what has gone on in the past,
"Believe me Lauren I have never been more upset about how ben has handled things with Abs. I care for Abi even though I know that I caused her pain" Lauren exhales smiling sadly at Jay,
"Sorry. I know you care for our Abs. Look she needs a good mate right now so how bout maybe spending sometime with her huh?" Jay nods his head ignoring Ben`s hard glare as Lauren heads inside the minute mart she hears a wolf whistle,
"Really..."
"Hey babe. Surprised to see me!" Lauren stands in shock as tears fall with joy as Peter pulls her into his arms both so emotional to finally be back together again!
"What you doing back?" Lauren asks dazed as she's still in shock,
"I missed you too much. Besides I need to be a proper Dad to our boy...so where is the little fella?"
"Sleeping back home...Abi and Sonia are looking after him...you seen Jane and your dad yet?"
"No need to see my son first and spend couple hours with you guys first. So everything okay?" Lauren shrugs her shoulders slightly as she takes his arm as they head back home,
"Not really. Ben dumped Abi before getting with that Paul so she's not doing good"
"I really don't get him sometimes. You want me to have a word?"
"No. Peter thank you for coming back to me" Peter smiles kissing her forehead gently,
"Lauren I know that my family has put you through so much lately but I promise things will be better. I will be better. So let`s spend tonight with our son and tomorrow we look for flats around here?" Lauren stops and faces Peter looking concerned,
"You sure Peter? I mean I don't want you to feel like you have to"
"I`m sure. No matter what this will always be home to us!" Lauren kisses Peter whispering an I love you before they walk hand in hand inside the house.
