AN: What if the night of the break up Lauren was going to tell joey something that night, what if she was pregnant? What if Lucy had risked the life of there unborn baby...

A/N: I'm not a mom or a nurse this is just guessing. Sorry if its a failure.

Lauren was stood at the bar about to order a Lemonade when She got a phone call, Lucy smiled telling her she would get it for her, Lauren smiled gratefully and told her a lemonade Before hanging up the phone sitting next to Joey smiling in his arms She couldn't wait to tell him the news tonight, She was happy, she kissed him softly as he smiled kissing her forehead lovingly after they ended the kiss not seeing Lucy's disgusted face.

Lauren picked up her glass after Lucy placed the drinks on the table taking a big gulp, not realising it had been spiked, not seeing Lucy's smirk. A few drinks later she stood up to go to the loo, nearly falling back down, seeing Joey's face fall, him realising she was drunk. "Lauren, Thought you weren't going to drink tonight, babe. You promised." lauren hearing his voice speak, his words going through her, she frowned slightly looking at him, her hand going to her stomach "I haven't." She frowned in fear before she realised, she looked up seeing Lucy's smirk "oh my god.."

Joey sighed as everyone stood up leaving the table, Lucy watching from the bar a smirk planted on her face. Joey looked at her sadly "babe, I can't do this anymore. I love you but it's over I can't keep going through this." She looked at him quickly, sobering up at his words "Joey, look at me please." He sighed softly looking at her as she spoke "I promise you I never ordered any alcohol, I can't. I wouldn't! I had something to tell you tonight, I wanted to have a nice drink with you, and stay sober. Then we'd go to yours and I would tell you." He looked at her confused "What are you talking about, tell me what?" She smiled sadly "I'm pregnant, so I wouldn't order alcohol. I swear."

Joey took a deep breath as he looked at her in shock. "Really? How do I know your telling me the truth." She sighed grabbing her bag pulling out the scan picture she had received when she went to check if she was pregnant, she placed it on the table as he picked it up looking at it, a smile on his face.

Lauren looked towards the bar seeing Lucy's look of anger, she shook her head before looking at Joey, "Joe, I promise I never ordered any alcohol I would not put this little one In danger." He nodded softly "I believe you." He pulled her on his lap kissing her.

She smiled as the kiss broke off "Joe, who was getting the drinks in?" He looked at her before sighing looking over at the bar looking at Lucy's look of fear as he realised, he stood up holding onto Lauren's hand as they walked over. "Why Luce? Why'd you spike her drink?" Lucy looked at him "because I love you! So much more than she does." Lauren frowned at her former best friend. "Luce, I love him. So much it hurts, I can't describe how much I love him, because its utterly impossible to explain my every feeling I feel when I'm with him when we're apart. I love him and I want to spend every day for the rest of my life with him, even more so now I'm carrying his child." Lucy looked shocked at her words as Joey smiled lovingly at her.

Lucy looked at her, she was shocked at her words but she didn't care. She wanted Joey. "It might not even be his baby." Lauren shook her head, sighing. "I've not slept with any guy since way before Joey even came to Walford."

Joey stroked her back calming her before speaking to Lucy, "Ya know, I thought we'd got over this and be mates. But no you just can't leave it can you, I don't love you. I never did and I never will because the truth is, I was only with you to hide my feelings I had for Lauren. I loved her from the minute my eyes landed on her. Cousins or not. Im sorry, i am. But you need to get over it." Lucy looked at him her heart breaking with every word he spoke.

Lauren looked at her "That aside, if you spiking my drink harms our baby, I'll be calling the police to get you banged up for spiking my drink. That's not a promise, it's a guarantee." Lucy looked at her fear on her face. "I-I'm really sorry Lauren. I never would've if I knew." Lauren frowned "you shouldn't of done it at all!"

Joey kissed Lauren's forehead "shh calm down babe, lets go to the hospital and check if our baby is okay, ey?" She nodded smiling before walking out with him, Lucy's face dropping, watching them walk out together.

Joey had headed over to the car lot with Lauren, borrowing one of the cars they headed to the hospital, going to A&E.

They were seen straight away the nurse walking in "Miss Branning, what can I do for you." She looked at Joey squeezing his hand, he smiled softly, as she looked to the nurse "Uh, I'm 2 months pregnant I found out the other day, my now former friend decided to get me a vodka and lemonade I asked for lemonade.. And I'm worried it could of harmed the baby" The nurse smiled and got the items "how about we check and see then, hm"

Lauren nodded, pulling her shirt up as the nurse placed the cold gel onto her belly, where are tiny bump was forming. She placed the Doppler along her stomach moving it a little as it appeared on the screen the nurse watched the screen frowning slightly, Joey and Lauren seeing her look, they looked at each other worriedly, before looking to the nurse, Joey speaking worriedly. "What is it? What's wrong?"

Is the baby okay?
