Lauren & Tyler- Mad Love

Part One

Tyler was more than shocked to have a upset and heavily pregnant Lauren on his doorstep,

"Lauren?" Tyler takes his hooded jumper off and wraps it round a shivering Lauren who had tears falling down her cheeks,

"Hey Ty!" She says giving a slight smile over at him as he lets her inside,

"So how you find me?" Tyler asks as he had not told anyone where he went as he couldn't bare Whitney coming after him as it was too painful,

"I found out from Ant. Don't worry I ain't told Whit...anyone really"

"Not even the daddy?" Tyler asks eyeing her bump making Lauren sigh sounding fed up,

"No. He is across the world. I needed to get back home. But I can't face everyone. Peter was determined that he was staying in New Zealand "

"Peter? As in Peter Beale?"

"Yeah. We were together...it was serious...but after Lucy had gone it just got too much..."

"Why where is she?" Lauren freezes slightly her eyes once again filling with horror as her stomach sank,

"Ty she is dead...she got killed...sorry you had to hear from me!" Tyler looked sadly over at Lauren and wrapped an arm around Lauren,

"Oh Lauren I'm so sorry! It must have been so tough!"

"It was. But this little one kind of made me more happier than I could of imagined I'd be" Tyler smiles over at her noticing how healthy she looked compared to the last time he saw her,

"So Lauren how long you want to stay for?"

"Well just til I can get some money together to get a place for me and the little one"

"Hey there is no rush babe. Be good to have your company around here so how bout you get comfy whilst I take your bags to your room?"

"Sounds good. Ty thanks for all this!"

Lauren had her eyes shut as she focused on her breathing her hands clenched tightly into fists as she fought through the pain, hoping Tyler wouldn't be much longer at work and he would be able to comfort her. As if on cue Tyler entered the flat and entered the lounge looking alarmed as he rushes over to Lauren,

"What's wrong babe? I'm here!" He reassured as a frightened Lauren explained the stomach pains she was getting,

"Ok Lauren babe I'm going to carry you gently to my van then I'll drive you to hospital"

"Ty promise you won't leave me please?!" Lauren whimpers tears streaming down her face making Tyler wonder how Peter could let her leave in this condition! Tyler promises before lifting her into his arms and heading straight towards the van,

"It won't be too long I promise babe!" Tyler reassures her as he drives over to the hospital. Lauren lay on the bed Tyler holding her hand as they waited for the doctor to see her,

"How's the pain?"

"It is fading slightly. Still scared though!"

"Hey I'm right here Lauren alright?" Lauren nods her head smiling warmly at Tyler,

"You are really sweet when you want to be Tyler!"

"Shh don't tell everyone will ruin my rep babe!" Tyler jokes making Lauren laugh lightly for a second both forgetting where they were when the doctor walks in,

"Hey miss Branning?"

"Yeah. Am I alright?"

"You are going to be fine. You had something called braxton hicks"

"Oh I've heard of that! " Lauren says sounding surprised,

"What is that?" Tyler asks worried for his friend,

"Hey Ty it's alright! Just like a test of when I go into labour isn't doc?"

"Yes so you still getting the pains?"

"No. Am I free to go now?"

"Yes. Looks like your partner needs a sit down"

"Oh he ain't..I mean we are not uh "

"She just means I'm not the dad" Tyler says calmly making Lauren stare wide eyed in shock,

"Why you say that for?"

"Cause it was painful watching you squirm like that besides it wasn't a total lie we did use to go out!"

"Yeah use to Tyler! Past tense!"

"Why you making such a fuss for? Unless wait do you want me to be your boyfriend?!"
