Moira felt her heart flutter with joy. The baby was definitely John's and she was delighted. It matched when she and John got back together. She decided to tell him when they got to the hotel. She hoped he would be happy. They had talked about having another child together but Moira thought it wouldn't happen at all. So much had happened since they moved to Butlers three years earlier.

"You alright babes?" John asked and Moira nodded with a smile.

"Yeah Darling I'm fine. Oh it's gonna be so great. Just me and you darling." She said smiling as John messed with the car radio.

"I know." John added with a smile admiring how beautiful his wife and how lucky he was to have her. They were more in love than ever before and it made him so happy.

After a while of reminiscing, Moira caught another glimpse of the test and hoped that this baby would bring them closer together and as "Fools gold" by the Stone roses, she wondered if this child that she was carrying would be welcomed by her other children who were never keen on the idea of another sibling.

Suddenly, her thoughts came to a Holt when the car skidded on black ice causing the car the topple over, Moira screamed as the car started rolling. John tried taking control but it was no good. Then suddenly everything stopped.

Moira awoke from unconsciousness to find the car rocking. John, whose faced was cut and blood was pouring, looked over and, to their horror, found that the car was on the edge of a cliff.

"Oh my God." Moira whispered, tears streaming. "What are we going to do?" She was terrified as was John who was clearly in pain and unable to move. Tears ran down his cheeks as he undid Moiras seatbelt.

"You need to get out. Stand on me." He said and Moira looked at him.

"I can't darling." She stammered and John grabbed her hand,

"If you don't well both plummet, now stand on me, it's the only way to get out."

Moira took a deep breath and crawled over to where John was then standing up, she stood on his legs, his cries of pain echoing in her ear as she fought desperately to get out, the car rocked once more and Moira screamed a little as she finally managed to get out. Help had been called and she rushed to John's side.

"Help is on the way baby. Well get you out of here." She whispered as she touched his cheek, seeing how weak he was becoming was heart breaking. John swallowed before saying suddenly,

"I love you."

And then...The car fell off the cliff and Moira watched horrified. She was in shock at what she had just seen and when the paramedics rushed over, she was an emotional wreck.

Sometime later, Hannah, Holly and Adam, who had heard about the crash rushed to be at their mothers side. Moira was distressed and they were powerless to comfort her but did their best just the same. Moira had needed a check up due to her pregnancy and she was fearing for not only his life but her babies too. Finally a doctor arrived,

"Mrs Barton, I have the results of your examination. I'm pleased to see all is well and the baby appears to be fine also." He announced as he read what was on his clipboard. The kids looked confused,

"What do you mean, pregnant?" Adam asked, clearly not registering what had been said. The doctor looked at him,

"Upon arrival, we examined Mrs Barton and she is pregnant. A few days to say the least but everything appears to be fine. Now Mr Barton has had major surgery to relive the bleeding however in cases such as this, the situation can change very quickly."

His voice sounded solemn as he said this and Moira felt deflated an put her hand to her stomach, which didn't get have a bump but would do soon. Was her baby about to loose its father?

"Then I want to see him." She said and they were all lead to the room where John lay.

The Bartons spent a while chatting to John who was lying in a hospital bed looking helpless and so vulnerable and fragile, it made their hearts sink. They tried to make the situation more bright by making jokes about Andy's car which was badly damaged and the fact that they made need a pay rise after all that. After a while, the kids left Moira with John, still shocked at the knowledge that one day there would be a fourth edition to the family.

I don't know why what happened happened. It wasn't flattery. I was being selfish while you were out there working hard for all of us like you always have. And now look at you, lying here so helpless. Oh look at what I've done to you, my beautiful John." Moira sobbed as she kissed his hand repeatedly. John took a deep breath and said weakly,

"Doesn't matter. Can I ask you something?" He asked and Moira nodded,

"Do you love me?"

Moira smiled and nodded.

"Yes I love you. So much." She gushed. John looked at her then tapped his chest and and reached over and placed his hand on her chest, telling her in his own way he loved her.

"A few hours of your life. Me and you. Twenty two years. What a team." He said softly and managed a smile while Moira smiled back,

"Yeah what a team. But twenty two years that's nothing. Your stuck with me for another fifty. Think you can handle that big man?" She asked grinning stroking his cheek. John smiled,

"Be nice." He said and Moira held his hand. Then taking a deep breath, she said,

"And John...soon it won't be three kids we have. Well soon have a fourth. I'm pregnant. Only a few days. It's definitely yours. I was going to tell you at the hotel but with what's happened."

John looked at her for a moment then he lifted his arm and put his hand on Moiras stomach.

"A baby in our old age. He'll look after us." He said weakly and Moira looked at him raising an eyebrow,

"He? Maybe a she darling" she said with a grin. John managed a laugh,

"I have a feeling we will have a boy this time but either way it will be loved and cherished more than anything in the world" He mumbled. Moira smiled then she rested her head on his chest.

"Oh I love you John." She whispered and a tear ran down John's face, delighted that he was gonna be a father again.

Then the heart monitor started beeping and John was unconscious once more. Moira was dragged out of the room, hysterical as Adam held her close. All of them watched as the nurses and Doctors worked on John trying to save his life. Moira was in bits as she watched her husband lying lifeless in the bed. This couldn't be happening. She was about to loose the man she had loved nearly all her life. She felt her heart breaking and she couldn't fix or help her husband who was lying with a tube in his mouth and people working on him trying to save his life.

"I think we should stop. Time of death twenty three eighteen." The Doctor announced and Moira and the kids were beside themselves.

"NO don't stop please no!" Moira yelled through her tears as she sank backwards into Adams arms, sobbing hysterically. The love of her life was gone. And her unborn baby would never know it's father. She collapsed, her heart broken in two.

She felt her life had ended.
