"So I'm guessing you and Dad have made up?" Peri asked as she sat up in bed talking to her Mum while Cameron had gone to the shop.

"Yeah, Ziggy told him about the kiss so he knows" Leela told her daughter.

"But you've okay right?" she asked anxiously.

Yes, we're fine, your Dad just needs to learn to control his jealousy and I need to stop being so stupid, because I love your Dad and he loves me, I can't believe I would be so stupid to nearly ruin all that"

Peri just looked at her Mum and smiled as she listened "I'm glad you've made up"

"How's my two favourite girls?" came a Scottish voice as Cameron walked into the cubical with a grin on his face.

Both Mum and daughter just smiled at him "You were talking about how amazing I am weren't you?" he teased with a wink in Leela's direction before pulling out a bag of treats for Peri and throwing them to her which she caught "It's a good job you aren't nil by mouth"

"Thanks" she smiled as she took a lollipop from the bag and started unwrapping it.

"Hey" Leela said "Didn't you get me anything?"

"Nope" he smirked as he walked over to her "Didn't know you wanted anything"

Leela was about to reply before he reached into the bag a pulled out a big bar of galaxy chocolate "Ah, I knew there was reason I loved you" she said as she made a grab for the chocolate in his hand but he moved it out of her reach "This is mine" he told her as he grinned down at her "You don't even like galaxy" she pointed out as she grabbed it from him and quickly opened it.

The small family where quiet for a minute before Cameron spoke "So you only love me because I buy you chocolate?" he asked before leaning in and putting his lips to her ear "There was me thinking it was for my amazing body"

"Hmm" Leela responded as she was just finishing her mouthful of chocolate "That too" she said casually "This is really good chocolate" she told him "Wanna taste?" she asked and before he could answer she pulled his lips to hers, letting him taste.

"Eww, that is really not something I wanna see" Peri said from where she sat on the bed.

"That really is good chocolate, I think I could get used to it" Cameron winked before turning to his daughter "I think I preferred it when you too were arguing" she stated causing her Mum to roll her eyes.

Cameron walked over to the chair and sat down leaving Leela standing, leaning forward he grabbed her hand and pulled her towards him, pulling her down onto his lap, he placed a soft kiss to the side of her head before resting his hands on his lap.

"Mum, when can I come home?" Peri asked as she looked expectantly at her Mum but she seemingly wasn't going to answer "I hate it here"

"I know babe, I'll speak to the doctor when we leave and see what's going on" she replied as she looked up at Cameron while sinking further into his chest.

Cameron moved his hand and placed it on her thigh which made it worse for Leela as she was only wearing her short dungarees, feeling his hand slowly moving until it touched her bare skin as she tried to speak to their daughter.

"Cameron, stop it" Leela said, slapping his hand away just as the doctor walked in.

"We're going to take Peri down for a scan now, to see if any things changed" the Doctor told them

"Do you think it'll have shrunk?" Peri asked.

"Well we've been monitoring you since you came in and there is a 50/50 chance, you're still on the medication so there is a chance that might've helped but we really can't say until we're seen the results from this new scan" the Doctor told Peri honestly before preparing to take her down to the MRI station.

...

"Your results show that the tumour has grown more" the Doctor told them as he looked at Peri's scan results.

"So what are you going to do?" Cameron asked as he looked at his daughter.

"Well I've spoken to my colleague who specialities in this, he's one of the best Brain surgeries in the world..."

"What, so you're going to operate? You said it's risky" Leela said.

"90% of the time the tablets we gave your daughter work effectively, but this was not the case for your daughter, therefore we need to choose the best step to take next and we feel that is to operate"

"So will it continue to grow?" Leela asked.

"I'm afraid so, we hoped it would shrink so we could remove it easier but it appears we were too optimistic, I'm sorry, but if we just leave it it's likely to spread and cause things like epilepsy, vomiting, hallucination" the Doctor said as he looked at everyone in the room "I've talked to my colleague and he thinks removing it although comes with risk it's the best thing for Peri"

"What are the risks?" Peri asked weakly.

"Loses of functions such as memory, vision, coordination, movement, also infection in the brain which could cause brain swelling and also a coma" the Doctor told her gently but honestly "Obviously brain infection is a risk with any brain surgery, and where your tumour is puts you at higher risk of memory loss and movement problems"

"NO, no, you're not operating on my daughter" Cameron shouted as he stepped forward towards the Doctor looking mad.

"Cameron, calm down" Leela whispered in his ear, pulling him back slightly.

"If we don't operate it will just grow, whether that's tomorrow or in a couple of months but it will grow, I'm sorry but operating is the best thing we can do now before it gets any bigger. If you agree to letting us operate we will need to monitor her for 12 hours where she will also have to be nil by mouth, then after the 12 hours we will need to give her another MRI, then if the tumour has stayed the same size and she's stable enough we will proceed with the operation"

"When will you operate?" Leela asked as she moved to her daughter's side and took her hand in hers.

"Tomorrow evening if everything goes as it should" the Doctor said "We will give you all the information and because Peri is only 14 we will need you to sign a form" the Doctor said looking at Leela; neither Leela or Cameron were listed on Per's birth certificate but her mum had agreed to naming her as next of kin, so now Sam and Danny were died Leela was the named person that could legally give consent to the operation.

"I'll give you some time to think about all I've said and I'll come back soon" the Doctor said before leaving.
