Today was the day Sandy was going back to Canada and Lindsey was gutted. Yet again, she'd stayed overnight at the hospital for Daisy's next night of treatment and she knew she had to get used to it. Sighing, she pulled her hair over to one side and straightened up her coat in the mirror as she got ready to leave.

"You all ready to go?" Freddie asked, stepping into the hospital room having left the night before.

"Yeah, just about. They said we can take her home as long as I administrate the antibiotics and they want her back tomorrow for a check up but apart from that, she's a little fighter." Lindsey said, smiling down at Daisy in her cot.

"That's great news, right? Atleast mum can say goodbye to her today." He replied, walking over to them.

"Of course it is. We better get going, don't want to miss saying goodbye." She smiled faintly, picking up Daisy and cradling her in her arms.


Sandy was being waited on hand and foot by her sons as they made her last day in the village a special one. She packed her final pieces of clothing into her suitcase before letting out a loud sigh, realising that she would actually have to leave the village.

"You nearly ready to go Mum?" Joe asked, stepping into the bedroom with JJ.

"Yeah, I'm done. Can't believe I'm havin' to leave you all!" She spoke, tickling JJ.

"We'll come and visit you in a few months, I promise! We've just got some things to do haven't we little man?" Joe cooed, looking at JJ in his arms.

"And I can't will you do, I'm going to miss you all so much. But, we better get going. Freddie and Lindsey are down at the garage to say goodbye and we don't want to leave them waiting especially if they've got little Daisy."

"Yeah, right, okay. Let's get going. You take him and I'll take the suitcase." He added, handing JJ to his mum before grabbing her suitcase and lugging it downstairs along with his rucksack.


Elsewhere, Lindsey, Freddie, Ziggy and baby Daisy were all at the garage awaiting the arrival of Sandy to say goodbye. Lindsey cooed over Daisy who was wide awake and looking up at Lindsey just as they heard the sound of the suitcase wheels along the concrete, everyone looking up.

"I'm going to miss seein' this!" Sandy said, making her way over to the three of them. "You lot take care of yourselves, alright?"

"We will, you don't need to worry about us mum." Freddie replied, wrapping his arm around Lindsey.

"And you look after our Linds and that little girl of yours." She added, peering into the pram where Daisy was and smiling softly.

"I will, I promise. When don't I?"

"When your sat watching movies all afternoon because you're 'too tired' to do anything." Lindsey muttered, poking her tongue out at her boyfriend.

"It's usually because I've been working late so don't get sarky!" He joked, smiling sarcastically at her.

Joe watched on, scoffing as he turned away from the couple and muttered something under his breath.

"Right, anyway. I better get going, don't want to miss our flight!" Sandy exclaimed. "Now, you Skype me whenever you want and keep in touch. I want to see how our Daisy is doing as she gets bigger!" She stroked Daisy's tiny hand before hugging Lindsey. "Take care."

"Don't worry, I'll be sure to Skype you with Dais. You take care and we'll see you soon." Lindsey hugged Sandy gently before smiling as she hugged Freddie.

"You look after Jase, make sure he stays on track and Robbie too, we all know what he's like." She pulled out of the hug and placed a kiss on her son's cheek before giving Ziggy a hug, making her way over to Joe shortly after.

"Joe, shall we take JJ?" Lindsey called out to Joe.

"It's fine, I thought I could take him with me and give you some time with Daisy?" Joe shouted back, placing Sandy's suitcase into the boot.

Lindsey nodded in response, Freddie looking at her with a concerned look as she muttered that everything would be fine. Lindsey rested her head on Freddie's arm as the three of them waved the pair off.


Joe drove for the next four hours after dropping his mum off to the airport. Pulling up into a parking space outside a local hotel in Essex, Joe let out a sigh of relief and climbed out of the car. He grabbed his rucksack full of things and carefully picked up JJ from his carseat, locking the car as he walked towards the entrance.

"Me and you are going to have such a wonderful adventure little man, I'm going to get us a big house and all the toys you will ever need. I promise I'll take care of you." He whispered, placing a kiss onto JJ's head as he checked into the hotel.


As Freddie and Lindsey made their way back to the flat, their hands entwined, they stepped into their now pristine flat. Lindsey picked Daisy up and cradled her in her arms, glancing around at how spotless the place was, knowing that it wasn't clean before they'd left. Just as she turned to Freddie, Robbie came out from the kitchen area.

"Right, I've cleaned the dishes, done your washing, put away the kids clothes and tidied around. You need to sit down and relax, both of ya'." Robbie said, placing the tea towel on the side with a smile.

"Rob, are you alright? Have you got a temperature?" Freddie joked, raising an eyebrow at his brother.

"And how did you get in here?" Lindsey asked.

"I'm fabulous, just doing my bit to help out, it's gotta be hard to do everything now Dais is here. Just chill out alright? There's a thing called locking your door and you didn't do it, Linds. But I better go, promised Jase I'd help him out at the garage."

"Well, thanks Rob. It's lovely of you, we'll see you soon." She smiled as Robbie slipped past them and quickly left the house.

Closing the door behind him, Robbie let out a sigh of relief as he leant against the door, pulling his phone from his pocket and finding Joe's number.

'It's done. Next time don't make it so obvious you've raided someones flat.'

'Sorry, I had to get out of there. Meet me at the hotel tomorrow with some stuff for JJ?'

'I'll be there.'

Robbie shoved his phone back into his pocket as he left the block of flats and making his way back to the garage.
