"Are you really sure about this Lauren?" Tanya questioned for 10th time

"Yes mum, I want to go home now" Lauren smiled up at her mum

"Ok well you can go back, but I and Oscar are staying here" Tanya smiled

"It's ok mum I understand" Lauren replied.

"Ok well I'll sort your flights out" Tanya smiled back before heading out of the room,

"Well missy we best pack our things and take you to see your family" Lauren smiled down at the small little girl lying in her arms.

The child was Laurens little girl Grace, she was now 4 months old. It had come as a real shock to Lauren when she found out she was pregnant, it was when she was in hospital after being diagnosed with alcoholic hepitis. Lauren knew then that she needed help, and thanks to her mum she went to rehab. Lauren was in rehab for 6 months and had really gotten her act together and when Grace was finally born Lauren looked back and wondered why she ever wanted to drink. She's now been sober for over a year and couldn't be happier. Her life was going really well for her, but she knew she had some loose ends that needed tying up for good.

"you call me as soon as you land please, I need to know your safe, and as soon as you wanna come back you ring and I'll get it sorted" Tanya smiled as she was at the airport with Lauren

"We'll be fine mum, but thank you" Lauren smiled giving her mum a hug

"Well you send me lots of pictures of this one, I'm gonna miss her" Tanya laughed a little

"And we'll miss you" Lauren smiled back,

"Right you best get off then" Tanya smiled, giving her daughter a final hug before watching head into the departures.

Laurens plane landed and she collected her case and her made her way out of Gatwick airport where she saw her uncle jack waiting for her,

"Good to see you kid" he smiled engulfing her in a hug

"It's good to see you too" Lauren smiled

"You're looking so much better" jack smiled

"And I'm doing a lot better" Lauren smiled back

"Right let's get you two back home" jack smiled helping Lauren and Grace in the car followed the luggage.

As they pulled up in the square Lauren got out of the car and looked around her surroundings, nothing had change in the year she had been gone.

"Still the same kid" jack laughed taking her case indoors as Lauren had Grace.

"Make yourself a home, I've got to get back to the gym" jack smiled before leaving Lauren.

"Right you, let's go see your aunty abs" Lauren smiled as grace cooed in her buggy.

(J/L)

Lauren walked through the square and went unnoticed she managed to get the buggy up the steps of no.5; she knocked on the door and waited for someone to answer.

"LAUREN" abi squealed as she opened the door to her sister

"Alright abs" Lauren beamed back

"Oh my god come in. how long is you here for? Does dad know you're here? Has mum come back?" abi rushed

"Calm down abs, no dad doesn't know I'm here it's a surprise, and know mums still in Spain" Lauren laughed at her over excited sister

"Can I have a cuddle with gorgeous niece please" abi begged taking Grace from her buggy

"So where is dad?" Lauren asked

"Oh he's still working at the car lot" abi smiled as she played with Grace

"Can you keep an eye on her whilst I go and see him?" Lauren asked

"Yeah course abi smiled back.

(J/L)

Lauren walked round the corner from no.5 and headed into the carlot,

"Sorry we're closed" max said without looking up from his paperwork

"Even for your own daughter" Lauren laughed

"Oh my god Lauren what are you doing here?" max asked shocked to see his daughter, but moving from his seat to give her a hug,

"I've come back for a little while" Lauren smiled

"Where are you staying?" max asked

"With uncle jack, and I know what you're gonna say about staying with you, but I don't feel ready to live in that house again" Lauren explained

"Its ok babe, I understand" max replied

"Right I need to get back to abi" Lauren said moving away from her dad,

"Yeah come on then" max smiled just as someone came into the office, Lauren turned and came face to face with the one person she was dying to see yet feared at the same time

"Lauren your back?" joey questioned looking at her

"Yeah for a little while" Lauren managed

"Can you lock up Joe, I wanna spend some time with my girls" max smiled

"Yeah ok" joey said, but he couldn't take his eyes off Lauren
