It was about a week later and nikki had been home for approximately four days. She decided with tom and the girls that she would go back to work even with a lopsided chest, because she couldn't face daytime telly anymore and just wanted to get back to work after the funeral of her baby son.

Because of Nikkis c-section she had crutches to help her walk. She put on a baggy top and jeans and went to work with tom and the girls.

"if you want to go home at any point darling you let me know"

"ill be okay I promise" nikki smiled

"mums hard as a rock, she will be okay" Gemma smiled

"I love you mummy" holly smiled

Nikki smiled to herself as she dropped holly off at primary school, that she had recently started.

"have a good day sweetheart"

"and you mummy" holly smiled running off to her friends by her teacher

Nikki got back into the car and they carried onto Waterloo Road. They pulled into a space and she got out with her crutches helping her walk.

"nikki your not carrying your bag im carrying it"

"whatever" nikki said walking to the entrance

"miss are you okay?" kacey came upto her
