Author's note - These are the newest spoilers "Max and Tanya wait at the hospital with Lauren, but the diagnosis isn't good - her liver is extremely damaged, and any further alcohol could kill her. To make matters worse, the doctor also explains that her drinking problem is being exacerbated by the arguments between the warring parents. Back in the Square, family and friends wait for news of Lauren, with Abi desperately worried, and Joey asking Lucy why she lied about his cousin's whereabouts - leading to a fight with Peter as he defends his sister."

This is my take on what I'd want to happen (Roughly 5 chaps I think, from my notes), if I could be in charge ;) Let me know your thoughts.


Two people. Multiple partners and broken hearts between them. A whole lot of history. Both wanting to be anywhere but there together, but that was a lie. They wanted to be together but too much had happened. It was done between them, no more back and forth, he was expecting a baby with someone else and she, had declared no go backs, not any more. The only reason that binds them together in that spot, sat blankly staring at a wall?

Love. Worry. Dread. Love. Impatience. Fear. Love. For their beautiful baby girl, broken far more than they'd originally thought, who was currently lying in a hospital bed in a room to their left being looked after.

And they, they were waiting. Waiting to find out what came next. Hoping for the best outcome, dreading the possibility of the worse.

Waiting, waiting, waiting...
