Based in 2011, Everything that has happened in EE has happened in this up to when Ronnie tells Jack she wants a baby.

A New Life? Yeah Right!

Ronnie sat looking at her reflection in the mirror. Her blond hair was held up tightly in a bun, her side fringe was tucked carelessly behind her ear, a lamp was the only light in the room it shone at Ronnie giving her face a spotlight. Staring at the fresh purple bruise around her eye Ronnie sighed, She gently placed her hand to her eye, still looking in the mirror she slid her hand slowly down to the slit of dried blood on her lip. She sighed heavily at the state of herself.

What am I doing? How did I get myself into this mess? I'm not even me any more. I've never let anyone push me around not since I was 14, and now look at me..

Ronnie was startled by the sound of a baby crying. Quickly rising from her seat she walked to the cot nearby. Gently she took the baby in her arms.

"Shh, don't worry Sweetie, Mummy is here"

The baby immediately stopped crying and was soothed slowly by Ronnie's voice. Ronnie gazed lovingly at her 3 month old son. He was gorgeous with little strands of golden blond hair, certainly inherited from his mother, his eyes were a dark mysterious, calm and welcoming brown, he certainly had his fathers eyes, Ronnie sighed even thinking about it.

Her son started whimpering once again desperate to hear his mothers comforting voice.

"Shh, It's okay James, everything is alright." Ronnie soothed. But everything wasn't alright in fact everything was terrible. She was stuck in a huge mess and the only way she could get out of this one was to jump right back into another one.

The situation she found herself in now was bad, horrible even but it was her only option, she couldn't swan off. She had a 3 month old baby to look after and no money to leave this hell she now called home. Peering at the calender Ronnie realized what day it was.

It was her niece Amy's birthday. She was 3 today, this time last year Ronnie had been at her 2nd birthday party Jack at her side. Happily singing happy birthday.

And it had been this night last year James had been conceived.

It was also exactly a year since Ronnie had left Walford and come to France, a new start? Yeah Right! It had killed her to leave Jack that night but she had no choice. She remembered how he looked that night, he was curled up in bed a light smile spread across his face, he was happy she had seen this but still she left silently, without even writing a brief note saying sorry she had disappeared into the night. She was off to build her life up again, just her, on her own, except 3 months later she found out she was expecting Jacks baby.

Ronnie let a tear fall as her thoughts spun around her head

Still she believed what she did was right, it wasn't her fault, Jack shouldn't have done what he did. He made a choice so Ronnie made hers.

Ronnie stopped these thoughts at once, if Rob came in and found her crying like this he wouldn't be happy.

Why did Ronnie need to leave Jack after being together over a year? Why didn't she tell him about the baby? Who is Rob and why has Ronnie gotten herself into this mess?What exactly is this mess? Is it too big for her to clear up on her own? Can Ronnie ever find happiness?
