Who enjoyed that last one? I know I loved writing it! This is the trial, will Lauen face her demons and go to the stand once again and will Peter give Autumn the send off she deserves? M x

Peter's POV

"Are you sure about this?" I said, as I turned off the engine. Touching the back of my girlfriend's hand and giving her a soft reasurence look.

Lozz nodded and as did I, we got out the car as our barrister Rose Anderson came out to greet us.

I grew up with Rose, she was around a month younger than me. Long soft blonde hair, pretty and subttle complextions, just finished her second year at Law School.

"I didnt think I'd be seeing you so soon" She smiled, taking me into a hug.

I took a step back and placed my arm around Lauren's waist.

"Rose, may I introduce Lauren Branning. My girlfriend. Lauren, this is Rose Anderson. My god-sister, family friend" I smiled as Lozz and Rose shook hands.

Rose guided us inside and took us into a small room, where she outlined the case for us. That we were to answer the questions asked and nothing else and to ask for the Judge's permittion to leave the Court if nessary.

Then the trial started.

Rose's POV

The defantant as I was known to be called Autumn Fox, being charged with two counts off Attempted Murder and one count of conspircy to murder. She entered the court dressed in a black trouser suit, with her blonde tied up with a clip.

"Name?" I asked, as my hands started shaking.

"Autumn Fox" Her voice was a hoarse as mine.

"Right, lets get down to it" I gave Pete an affectionate glance before giving Autumn a scary look.

"Tell me how you came to attack Miss Branning?" I started.

She gulped. "I guess you could say it starts with jealousy"

"Jealousy? You were jealous of Miss Branning?"

She nodded. "My boyfriend left me for her"

I was starting to feel sorry for her, looking at her case file she'd had a tough life.

Autumn's POV

Considering she was Lauren's barrister, she seemed really nice.

"Did you have an acuplice in this? Miss Fox?" She was digging into me now.

I gulped and nodded.

"Who? Miss Fox?"

"Mr Ian Beale"

And she dismissed me with a sigh.

Lauren's POV

I paced outside the court room until a tall man came outside and called my name. I gave him a small smile before following him inside.

I noticed Rose was sat down, this was Autumn's barrister. I was DOOMED.

"Name?"

"Lauren Branning" I confirmed.

"Why did Miss Fox attack you?"

"She was jealous"

Peter's POV

Lauren got a lift off Cora, I stayed behind to talk to Rose.

"Come in" She opened her office door, no longer dressed in her black court clothes but now in a white and blue long sleeve t-shirt, her hair hanging down to her back, light brown boots at her feet.

"It's nice to catch up with you again Rosie" I took her into a hug.

Her arms around my neck, my arms a barrier to her waist.

"We shouldnt be doing this" She whispered, stroking the back of my neck.

"Oh I think we should" I smiled, teasing her lips with mine.

She kissed me gently at first, then I moved in to deepen the kiss. She sat up on the edge of the desk, her legs around my theighs, my hand running through her hair.

Lauren's POV

I couldnt thank Pete enough for what he'd done for me, now that I was leaving to start universty in America. He knew that we both had to move on in time, and that time was now.

Peter's POV

I held her, her head nuzzled into my neck.

I got a text from Lauren saying that she'd got to the airport safley, then one from Forest saying that her and Clive were going to Cindy in Devon.

But now it was just me, Rose and our baby.

(Oh didnt I tell you, I've been seeing Rose for alot longer than you readers think)
