PIPER'S POV:

"Come back to bed…" Tyler sighed as I reluctantly pulled away from him and climbed from the bed the next morning

"No can do." I replied "I've got to take Eden to Mum's, and then we need to be getting organised for our appointment with Karl."

"Fine, be a spoilsport." he proclaimed as he fell back against the bed "But just know what you're missing out on."

I smirked and shook my head… "I love you."

"I love you too." he mirrored

After dressing Eden and giving her some breakfast, I packed her bag whilst Tyler kept her occupied and made my way out of the door, carrying her in my arms down the driveway and across the grass verge, making my way into Mum's…

"There she is," Mum proclaimed, scooping Eden from my arms "my beautiful baby girl."

"Nice to see you too, Mum." I greeted her

"It's nice to see you too, love." she informed me "How are you?"

"Good." I replied as I followed her through to the kitchen "So I should probably tell you why I asked you to look after Eden at such short notice…"

"I would like an explanation," she admitted "but if it's private, then that's fine too."

"Not private exactly," I replied "but I have to go to the hospital."

"What for?" she questioned worriedly

"It's nothing serious," I assured her "it's for a scan."

"A scan?" she asked, raising an eyebrow at me

"Yeah; really, can you not guess?" I inquired

"What?" she questioned "Wait a minute, no, you're not. Are you?"

I smiled at her warmly and nodded my head… "Yeah I am."

She smiled at me widely and hurried over to me, embracing me tightly… "Oh, darling, I'm so happy for you, for you and Tyler! How did he take the news?"

"Really well, given what we went through a few months back." I informed her

She smiled at me weakly… "I know it's hard because you're thinking about the child you've lost, but your main priority now is the one in here and that little one over there."

I turned my head, pursing my lips together as Eden had began to raid the DVD collection… "I know, and on that note, I'm going to go and leave you to it. Bye."

TYLER'S POV:

"Have you told Piper about Chas yet?" Mark asked as he made his way into the kitchen

"Morning to you too." I greeted him

"Have you?" he questioned "The longer you leave it, the harder it's gonna be."

"Does she really need to know?" I inquired

"I can't believe you're asking me that." he sighed "Of course she needs to know, Tyler!"

"Who needs to know what?" Piper questioned as she made her way into the house

"Hey, you weren't gone long…" I greeted her

"I left Eden rooting through Mum's DVD collection. What's going on?" she asked "What did I walk in on?"

"Nothing." I replied

"Didn't sound like nothing to me." she admitted

"That's because it's not." Mark informed her

"Shut up!" I proclaimed

"Tyler, what's going on?" she inquired, raising an eyebrow at me

I sighed and ran my hands over my face… "I didn't want to tell you because you're gonna find out anyway, but last night, Mark and I bumped into Chas at The Waterhole. He's got a job there, behind the bar."

"Right." she replied

"That's all you've got to say?" I asked

She nodded her head… "What else is there? He's a part of my past and I'm focusing on the here and now and looking towards our future, and as far as I'm concerned he's not involved in that. It doesn't matter to me."

"It doesn't?" I questioned

She shook her head… "Now I'm gonna go and get ready for our appointment with Karl. Honestly, I'm fine."

"Good." I replied, smiling at her warmly

"Good." she mirrored, pressing her lips to mine softly

Piper knows about Chas being back in town and Terese is ecstatic to be becoming a Grandma again. How will Piper's appointment go?
