It was a peaceful night in the Lomax house; the family was watching television. Sam and Danny were on one couch while Tegan was sat in the chair and Ste was sat on the floor and Leela and Peri were sat on the other couch, Peri had fallen asleep and she was now laying with her head on Leela's lap.
Leela glanced down and saw how peaceful Peri looked and a smile found its way onto her lips; my beautiful little girl.
Leela looked up and noticed her Mum and Dad looking at her with a disapproving look; this pissed Leela off, so she careful got up headed for the stairs.
Leela's movement woke Peri with a jump and she looked around noticing that her Mum, Dad and Leela were apparently having some sort of silent conversation.
"Mum..." Peri said and unbeknown to her Leela's eye's snapped towards her.
No one in the room seemed to notice the way Leela responded when Peri called Mum, nobody but Ste.
Ste looked at Leela questioningly but she just brushed it off.
"Leela" Peri said.
"Yeah..."
"Are you alright?"
"Why wouldn't I be?" Leela asked.
"You don't look too good and you're been acting weird, is something going on between you and Mum and Dad" Peri asked looking between the people she knew as her Dad, Mum, and Sister.
"Oh me, I'm fine" Leela replied with an uneasy smile, and then all of a sudden Leela noticed something wrong with Peri; she didn't look quite right.
The next second was a blur and Leela was the first to be at her side as her 'sister' started fitting.
"Peri, Pez" she called, and then she looked to her Mum and Dad who were in full panic mode "What's happening to her?"
"I don't know, call an ambulance" Danny shouted at his eldest daughter but she froze "NOW"
"I got it" Ste said, quickly dialling 999.
Leela didn't know what to do; she freaking out; what was happening to her daughter?
"They're on their way" Ste said and at that moment Leela seeming to break out of her own mind and come back to reality.
Ste couldn't help but look at Leela and she noticed this; she knew that he knew something, but right now the only concern was Peri.

The Lomax family watched as Peri got loaded into the ambulance; she had stopped fitting but she was unconscious due to hitting her head quite hard when she tried to stand up, even though the paramedics had told her not to; Peri was always stub, a lot like her Mum.
Leela and Sam both went to step into the ambulance with her but the paramedic lady stopped them.
"Only one person can go with her"
"She's my daughter" Sam said.
Leela looked anxiously at her Dad and he gave her a small nod.
"Sam, why don't we just follow in the car" Danny said causing Sam to look at him "She'll be fine with her big sis"
Leela silently looked at her Dad thanking him before stepping in the ambulance.
As the doors shut Leela's eyes caught her brother's and they said all she needed to know; he definitely knew now.
Leela sat in the back of the ambulance as it drove along, holding her daughter's hand in her own.
"I'm sorry, I'm so so sorry, you have a right to know and it's killing me, watching on the sidelines as you grow up and call someone else mum" Leela spoke to her unconscious daughter.
"I love you Peri" she cried "Please just wake up, please... she sobbed, resting her head on the side of the trolley.
"Please, please, please, please..." she chanted over and over again before she felt a pressure on her hand; Peri squeezed her hand.
"Leela..." she asked groggily and Leela smiled at her.
"Hey there, you gave us a bit of a fright"
"Where's Mum?" she looked around "Where am I?"
"You started fitting and hit you head, they're taking you to hospital to see what's wrong, but it's okay, I'm here" Leela smiled.
"Where's Mum?" she repeated.
Here Leela thought to herself before answering Peri's question.
"She's right behind us, I promise" Leela smiled before silence fell between them.

"It seems your daughter has had a Tonic-clonic seizure" the doctor said as he walked into the room.
"Epilepsy" Leela said.
"Yes, it appears so" he said before looking back to Sam and Danny
"I know this must have come as a shock to you but it's really nothing to worry about, it is very manageable, but we would like to keep your daughter in for a bit longer so we can run some more tests so we can see what the causes are and if it needs treating, sometimes a fit can come on from things as simple as sleep deprivation and these tests will enable us to find that out"
"Also because she is so young this might just be a onetime thing and it might never happen again, but the tests will allow us to now more" the doctor explained, then he exited the room.
The Lomax family minus Tegan who had to stay behind to look after Rose was in the hospital waiting beside Peri's bed.
A nurse came to take her for a brain scan that would allow them to now more.
"Can I go with her?" Leela asked the nurse.
"Course you can, if that's what Peri wants" she looked at Peri and the next words that Peri said broke Leela's heart.
She had never been interested in telling Peri the truth; she was safe, happy and loved that's all Leela wanted, plus she still got to be a part of her life, but after the whole Sienna thing where she thought Peri was her daughter and nearly took her away from the family it's made her want Peri and everyone to know who Peri really was; that she was her little girl and no one else's.
"I want Mum to come" Peri said looking at Leela as if to say sorry.
"Okay, well we'll be here when you get back, love you" Leela said, and then she hugged her little girl.
"Love you more" Peri said, smiling at her.

"We have the results back" the doctor said coming into the room.
"And?" Sam and Leela asked at the same time.
"Peri, are you alright with me to read them out?" the doctor questioned and Peri nodded.
"Okay" the doctor took a long breath "The tests show that you have Tuberous Sclerosis which caused a benign tumor to form, while it is not life threatening it can cause things such as epilepsy fits like what you experienced"
Ste looked at Leela and they seemed to have a silent conversation before the doctor spoke again.
"Now Tuberous Sclerosis is quite rare, it's an inherited condition which causes tumors to develop in all different places of the body and it seems one has developed in your brain, the fit happened because of the pressure it was putting on your brain. Now the tumour you have is non-cancerous and can be surgically removed in a very simply operation"
"I know this must be a big shock but a nurse will be along with all the information you will need to understand this condition"
The room fell silent as the doctor left.
"But... How?" Sam said in shock; not knowing how her 'daughter' could have this condition.
Before anyone else could speak a nurse came in with information for them.
"Are you aware of the carrier of this condition? If not..." before the nurse could finish Leela spoke up.
"Her Dad" she whispered.
"Pardon?" The nurse asked.
"Her Dad has it" Leela said louder this time.
"Okay" The nurse said, leaving the room; the tension not going unnoticed by her.
"W...What? My Dad? Peri said looking toward Danny"You have it?"
"No..."
"But... sh...she said" Peri stuttered.
"Sweetie... I don't have it" Danny told her.
"But... my Dad does" she said in shock; putting two and two together.
"Who are you?" she asked looking at her 'Dad' "You cheated on Dad?" Peri accused looking at Sam.
"No...NO" Sam shouted.
"Are you my Mum and Dad?" Peri whispered.
"Peri..." Sam started...
"Are you?" Peri asked louder.
"No" Danny answered honestly "We're not your biological parents, but we brought you up, you ARE our daughter"
"But I'm not though, am I? Peri said, then she looked towards Leela "And how do you know my Dad? Do you two know him? She asked looking at Sam and Danny again.
"So my Mum didn't want me?" she cried.
"Yes, your Mum did want you, she loves you" Leela pleaded "I wanted you so much" she sobbed.
"Mum?" Peri whispered.
"Yes, it's me I'm your Mum, I am and I love you so much darling" Leela admitted through sobs.
Peri didn't speak; the room went quiet.
Leela walked over to her daughter's hospital bed and went to hold her hand but Peri shook her off and rolled over, facing away from her family who had all lied to her for years.
"Get out... All of you" she shouted as she could feel her tears coming.
"Pez..." Danny begged.
"Go away" she said.
Leela was in such a state that Ste had to take her out of the room and with one last look at her beloved daughter she was pulled away by her brother; Peri's uncle.
This is just going to be left as a one-shot unless asked otherwise, then I might add more.
