"Mummy, come on we're gonna be late!"

Rebecca, Lauren's six year-old daughter called, racing down the staircase to her mum. Rebecca had long brown curly hair, brown eyes, and her mother's smile. She was wearing her hair in a pony tail with a pink ribbon tying it up. Rebecca had on a pink tutu dress with white ballet flats. Lauren was amazed her six year-old daughter could get herself ready.

"We will be fine Rebecca. Are you ready to go see Grandma?"

Rebecca's face lit up when Lauren mentioned her grandmother. Even though Rebecca didn't see Tanya that much, they had gotten very close.

"Yes, yes, yes! Let's go mummy!"

Lauren laughed at her daughter's reaction. "Okay, let me get the bags."

Lauren grabbed their suitcases and headed out the door, locking it behind her.

"Let me take those, Miss." The driver said taking the luggage out of her hands.

"Thanks." Rebecca was already in the car and Lauren followed behind. Within minutes they were on their way to the airport.

Lauren moved to Jersy after Rebecca was born. The only thing she missed was Joey, Joey had broken Lauren's heart right before she left for Jersey, a few weeks after the crash. A few weeks later she found out she was pregnant, and now six years later she was 24 with a daughter. Joey's daughter, and he had no clue. Lauren wanted to tell Joey, but he had broken up with her and told her that they were n't meant to be together.

After about an hour since they left home they were finally flying to London.

"Mummy?" Rebecca looked at her mother with questioning eyes.

"Yes, darling?" Lauren looked back at her daughter instead of looking out the airplane window.

"Will you tell me about Daddy?"

Lauren had talked about Joey with Rebecca, but never went into detail. "Well, you have his eyes, and his hair."

"Daddy had curly hair?"

"No silly, I mean his hair colour" She replied, smiling

"What else?" Rebecca looked delighted that her mother was sharing this much with her about her father.

"Daddy was sweet, funny, handsome, and I loved him with all my heart."

"Then why aren't you with him?"

Lauren really didn't want to answer that question. "Sometimes, people drift apart, even if they are in love."

Rebecca just nodded her head, pretending to understand. Soon after, she fell asleep and Lauren let a lone tear escape her eye.

Lauren and Rebecca arrived at the airport and got into a taxi.

"Are we almost there yet?" Rebecca was getting impatient

"Almost."

Lauren kissed her daughters forehead. Soon enough they pulled up to Tanya's house. Tanya was living on her own with Oscar, in number 5 Albert Square

"Suprise honey. Welcome home." Tanya said as she gave Marley a kiss on the cheek.

"Thanks, mum." Tanya grabbed Rebecca from Lauren's arms and everyone started talking to Lauren.

Everyone was here, except for Joey. At least Lauren wouldn't have to face him now, she didn't even expect for him to be in Walford. She thought he was probably back at his mums or had moved on. A few hours passed and everyone was completely in love with Rebecca, but she was getting tired so Lauren took her upstairs to get her ready for bed.

"I love you sweetheart. I'll tuck you in, in a bit"

"Okay, love you too, mummy." Rebecca gave her mum a kiss on the cheek and headed upstairs with her grandma.

Everyone was laughing and having a good time, then someone knocked on the door. Lauren walked to the door and opened it, wondering who it would be. When she opened it,
it was none other than Joey Branning.

"Hey, Joey."

"Hey, Lauren."
