"Well she has a few cuts and broose's but other than that she is fine." He sighed contently, I released a breath I didn't know I was holding.

"Where is she now?" I asked not being able to see her in the room. He smiled softly.

"She's with Abi, her and oscar needed some food so Abi took them to the canteen." I nodded before the truth finally dawned on me.

"My parents are dead joe, what am I going to do. Abi and Oscar need looking after!" I sobbed, he pulled me into his arms and caged them tightly around me.

"Abi and Oscar will come and live with us for the time being, we need Abi's help behind the bar and Oscar can keep Hope company. Everything will work out babe, and anyway we have a baby to think about ain't we?" He smiled lovingly. My heart melted. Never in a million years did I ever think that I would meet anyone like joey, but i have and I couldn't be happier! After around ten minutes of comfortable silence Abi walked in, Hope in her arms and oscar trailing behind. She squealed when she saw me, rushed over and swamped me in a hug being careful of Hope though. She finally let me go and passed Hope over to me. I looked down to see her fast asleep, her body covered with clothes but the cuts still visible. I felt the tears running down my cheeks but I still couldn't help being grateful that she was alive.

"Lo?" Abi said softly, I looked up to see her and joey sat beside me with nothing but concern in their eyes.

"I'm fine. Im just being silly ignore me" I sighed, forcing a smile onto my face.

"No your not, what's the matter?" Joey urged looking at me intently.

"I'm sorry it's just the last time I was properly in hospital I was with Rosie and we had both just had a miscarriage" I breathed before gasping realising what I had just said. They were both looking at me with wide eyes.

"Lauren what do you mean, I thought Rosie was the only one who had the miscarriage, you said you were there but you didn't say that you had had miscarriage to" He said his eyebrows furrowed.

"Listen please we had both been pregnant at the time, I'm so sorry I lied but I had to I couldn't face telling people not even now, but we were on our way into town when we were dragged into an ally at the side of a pub and beaten. It turned out to be Rosie's boyfriend but we swore to each other that we would never tell anyone about what happened because we were only 13, it wasn't really ideal was it?" I breathed closing my eyes tightly as I felt a sharp kicking pain in my ribs. The little one was kicking.

"Why didn't you tell me, you were only young lauren, 13! You should have told your parents. But anyway I'm not letting this make a difference to our lives I love you too much" Joey stated, leaning forward and placing a soft kiss upon my lips.

"Lo, I don't know if this is the right time but I need to tell you something" Abi said quietly from beside me making me turn my head towards her. I knew what she was going to tell me wasn't good, I could hear it in her tone of voice.

"Go ahead babe's I'm listening" I stated turning all my attention towards her. She hesitated slightly before speaking.

"I'm pregnant Lo..."
