"Hello?" Lauren said into the phone. "Hi, I'd like to make a statement? I know where Mr Ashley Dawson was on the night of Esther's death and disappearance. He was with me; all night."
Lauren waited for a while, still walking down the road. Her tears were dried to her skin.
"OK, thank you. Bye," she said after a while. She carried on walking. After a minute, Lauren clutched her head. She groaned in pain. Her legs went limp.
"I... argh," she mumbled before she collapsed, landing on the wet pavement.


Amelia woke up, smiling to herself. She wasn't usually in this good of a mood, but she didn't care; she knew that she had annoyed Lauren, and that was all she wanted to do.

Lauren's body lay on the wet pavement. The streets are deserted.

"I'm off to college, see ya!" Danny shouted to his family before making his way out of the house. He didn't want to go to college; he was too worried about Annie, who was still in hospital following her car crash. Danny walked along the street. He saw a body lying on the ground in the distance.
"Bloody drunks," he mumbled before heading towards the body to help it.

The prison guard walked into Ashley's cell.
"Up, Dawson," He ordered. Ashley yawned.
"I SAID GET THE HELL UP!" The guard shouted. Ashley slowly lifted himself from the uncomfortable bed. The prison guard grinned.

"Chloe, Warren? We have something we want to tell you," Natalie said, forcing a smile as she walked into the kitchen followed by Chris. "Me and your Dad... we're getting married!"
Natalie grinned, showing off her engagement ring. Chloe gasped.
"Oh my God! Really?" She asked, grinning with happiness for her Mum?

"Hello?" Danny asked as he neared the figure. He crouched down and turned it over to get a better view of who it was. "Oh my... Lauren! Lauren, wake up! Lauren!"
Danny pulled out his phone and dialled 999.
"Hello? Ambulance please! My friend has collapsed; she's freezing, I think she's been here all night!"

"Annie?" Shayla asked as Annie stirred.
"Sha... Shayla? What happend?"
"Your car crashed into Mark's. Mark's OK, he should be able to leave later. They didn't know if you'd pull through, age permitting and all..."
"Oi!" Annie smirked, "How dare you! Just 'cause I'm old..."
"Oh, shuttup!" Shayla ordered, engulfing Annie into a big hug.

Danny sat by Lauren's hospital bed. She was lying there, unconscious. When she finally awoke, she was panicky and shaking.
"Danny? Whe... where am I? What happened?"
"You fainted. The nurse will be back soon with your diagnosis."
At that moment, the nurse walked in.
"Good morning, Miss Ashmore."
"Morning," Lauren grumbled moodily.
"The reason you fainted is nothing serious. It seems that you have had a little bit of short-term memory loss. You will most probably have forgotten a few events of the last two to four weeks. Have you been stressed recently?"
"I can't remember..." Lauren whispered.
"OK. I'll leave you to talk to your boyfriend. He saved you; you should be thankful."
Lauren opened her mouth to oblige, but the nurse was already walking away.
"Thanks, Danny," Lauren whispered, smiling. "Can I talk to you?"
Danny nodded and smiled. "Sure, anything!"
"I've... I slept with two people in the space of two weeks!"
"Who?"
"Ryan and Ewan..."
Danny raised an eyebrow.
"But..."
"But what?" Lauren asked.
"But what about... me and you... when we... on the 23rd..."
Lauren raised an eyebrow.
"WHAT?" She whisper-yelled.
"We slept together on the 23rd..."
"You have to be kidding me!"
Danny shook his head.

"But what about... me and you... when we... on the 23rd..."
Lauren raised an eyebrow.
"WHAT?" She whisper-yelled.
"We slept together on the 23rd..."
"You have to be kidding me!"
Danny shook his head.


Lauren sat in the hospital bed, crying. She watched as Lori walked into the room.
"Alright?" Lori asked.
"No point ask, you know that I remember what you told me." Lauren hissed.
Lori sighed. "Can't you just forget it?"
"You accused him of rape, and now you're saying that that's the reason you're pregnant!"
"I'm not pregnant!"
Lauren's jaw dropped.

Amelia sat in her living room, watching The Jeremy Kyle Show. She stood up when the door bell went and opened it.
"Did you know that you daughter has been in hospital all night? Or did you not care?" Danny hissed.
Amelia raised an eyebrow.

Jasmin Hardy and Tyson made their way towards Nisa Local. Jean was stood behind the counter.
"Nice to see you back, Jean," Jasmin smiled.
"Thanks, Jas," Jean replied.
"Good holiday?"
Jean nodded. "Yup. Anthony and Declan are back now too."
"Cool, I'll go see Ant later," Jasmin replied, picking up a chocolate bar. She passed Jean 50p, said bye and walked out of the shop with Tyson.

Lauren stood outside of the hospital, waiting for the Taxi. It finally arrived and Lauren climbed in.
"25, Gerard Avenue, Canley, please," Lauren said to the taxi driver.
The taxi driver turned around. Lauren gasped.
"Ash?"
Ashley smirked before putting his finger to his lips and whispering "shush".

Daniel waited outside of Lauren's house. He saw Ryan walking past.
"Lauren told me!" Danny called. Ryan turned to face him.
"Told you what?
"That you slept together," Danny sighed.

Tina sat in the bed next a naked man. She turned and smiled at Ross.
"Woke up a bit late, didn't you?" She grinned. Ross smirked.

The figure watched as Lauren climbed out of the Taxi. She observed the surrounding area, before knocking on the driver's window. Ashley stepped out, and they both ran towards 25.

Esther lifted her head. She looked around, panting heavily.
"Where... what..."
She was cut off when a figure grabbed her roughly and tied a gag around her mouth. The figure threw Esther against the hard floor. She smacked her head before falling unconscious.

"NO!" Natalie screamed into the phone before hanging up. Chloe entered the room and Natalie spun around, a horrified look on her face.

Tina snook into the Pharmacy. She grabbed a pregnancy test, snook out and locked the door behind her.

Jasmin laughed with Ruby and Tyson. Ruby left the room when the door knocked.
"You guys are funny," Jas smirked.
"Thanks," Tyson smiled. Jasmin stared at him for a minute before quickly kissing his lips. Tyson raised an eyebrow.
"Erm..."
"It's for you, Ty," Ruby interrupted, re-entering the room. Tyson left, and Jasmin stared at Ruby as she made herself a drink.

Tina looked at the results of the pregnancy test. Negative.

The water ran from the tap. A pregnancy test sat by the side of the sink. Positive. The sound of a girl crying could be heard.
"Lauren? Will you be done soon?" Ashley called. Lauren looked up at the mirror, tears running down her cheeks. She glanced at the pregnancy test before rubbing the cold water over her face.

Any feedback?

Lovely episode! I love the Lauren pregnancy drama with Danny, keep up with the super work!

Thanks. I didn't want to do a normal "who's-the-daddy" plot, so I decided to make three possible fathers (Ryan, Ewan, Danny). The actual father won't be revealed until AFTER the baby's birth in July!

Sounds exciting!

Tonight's episode will be slightly delayed, but should be up by 8!

The water ran from the tap. A pregnancy test sat by the side of the sink. Positive. The sound of a girl crying could be heard.
"Lauren? Will you be done soon?" Ashley called. Lauren looked up at the mirror, tears running down her cheeks. She glanced at the pregnancy test before rubbing the cold water over her face.


Jasmin watched as her brother, Sammy Hardy, walked into the living room.
"I'm going to work," Sammy smiled. "I'll see you later."
He kissed Jasmin's forehead before walking out of the front door.

"Lauren," Amelia sighed as Lauren walked into the room. "You need to start talking to me. I've been nice to you recently!"
Lauren scoffed.
"Giving my friend free drinks while you're covering at the pub doesn't mean you're being nice to me."
"You need to start showing me some respect, missy!" Amelia shouted, standing up from where she was stood. She waved her finger in Lauren's face. "Don't forget that I can punish you!"
"No you can't. Who are you to tell me what to do?" Lauren spat back.
"I AM YOUR MOTHER!"
"I WISH YOU WEREN'T!" Lauren screamed. She pushed past Amelia and made her way up the stairs. Amelia sighed.

"Come on, Lauren," Ashley whispered to himself, hoping for Lauren to answer her phone. After a minute, Ashley groaned loudly and chucked his phone at the wall. He rubbed his hand through his hair.

Paula pulled the frying pan out from the cupboard.
"Do you want eggs?" She called to Ewan.
"No, I hate eggs, remember?" Ewan called back from the living room. Paula smiled to herself. She opened the cupboard and stared at the bottle of vodka. She took a look around her, checking Ewan was not in the kitchen, before rapidly pulling the bottle out. She poured some into a glass and chugged it down. Ewan walked into the kitchen.
"MUM!" He shouted, lunging towards her. He grabbed the vodka bottle and started to undo the top. "WHEN WILL YOU START LISTENING?" He screamed as he poured the vodka into the sink. Paula made a "welp" noise.

"Please, let me go!" Esther screamed at the figure. A tear rolled down Esther's cheek.

Lauren stared at the pregnancy test which sat on her bedside cabinet. She sat there, doing nothing. After a while, she grabbed the pregnancy and threw it into her bottom draw. She sighed and grabbed her phone.
To: Danny
Message: Done a test, not pregnant xx
She bit down on her bottom lip as she pressed Send.

"Sam, I need to talk to you," Jasmin said as she entered the fire station. "It can't wait."
Sammy looked up. "Sure, what is it, little sis?"
"I... I kissed Tyson..." Jasmin began.
"Did he do something?" Sammy interrupted. Jasmin shook her head, smiling.
"He kissed me back, but... we was interrupted and... I... I think I'm attracted to Ruby..."
Sammy raised an eyebrow, shocked.
"Haha, funny joke, Jas. Now, what did you really want to tell me?"
Jasmin stared at him seriously.
"You're not... telling the truth?"
Jasmin nodded. Sammy rubbed his hand through his hair and sighed.

Ashley stood, staring out of the window. He watched as Lori walked past. She looked at the window and gasped. Ashley quickly ducked out of view and moved away from the window. Ashley slid down the wall, knowing that he had been caught.

Kyle Kayne walked out of King Pizza holding a box of chips. He put one into his mouth as Lauren walked out of the pharmacy. She walked along the street and past Lori, who glared at her. Lauren turned to Lori.
"Have you got a problem?" She snapped. Lori smirked.
"Ashley," Lori whispered before walking away. Lauren stared after her in horror.

Ashley lay on his bed, his eyes wide open. A tear rolled down his cheek.

Esther sat against the wall, a gag around her mouth and rope tied around her wrists. She looked over at where her phone lay on the floor in front of her. She looked to the right before starting to shuffle towards the phone.

Jack sat on the sofa, watching TV. His little brother, Joey Ireland, walked into the room, followed by their cousin, Zayn Ireland.
"What's up with you, bro?" Joey asked.
"Nothing," Jack sighed. "Just bored."
"Shouldn't you be at work?" Zayn asked.
Jack shrugged his shoulders.
"I can't be bothered. Damo won't mind, anyway."
Joey sighed, knowing he wasn't getting anywhere.

Ewan stood in the gym showers, a towel wrapped around his waist. He walked into a changing room. He went into a cubicle. The door opened and Ewan heard two men walk in.
"No one's going to find out!" An older man said.
"They will! And when they find out what we've done, we'll get sent to prison!"
Ewan turned around, confused. He placed his eye against the crack and watched the two men. He gasped as he recognised them.
"They won't find out what we've done to Esther; they can't!"
"What?"
"We'll end it. We'll kill her, and everyone will think it was Ash."
Ewan raised an eyebrow.

Amelia walked into Lauren's room.
"I need to find my phone charger. Can I have a look in your draws?"
Lauren shook her head.
"No, sorry. I'm busy," Lauren lied, worried Amelia would find her test.
Amelia leant against the doorway.
"Did you do a test?"
Lauren nodded.
"And?" Amelia asked.
"Negative," Lauren forced a smile.
"Good," Amelia hissed. "Next time, don't be such a slut!"
Lauren glared at her Mum, hurt by her words.
"Get out," Lauren ordered. "NOW!"
Amelia rolled her eyes before walking out of Lauren's room. Lauren put her head in her hands and started to cry.

Charlie Roscoe sat next to his Dad, David Roscoe, in their car. Charlie sighed and crossed his arms.

Alex watched as Ewan walked out of the changing rooms.
"About time," Alex smirked.
Ewan forced a smile, putting what he had just witnessed to the back of his mind.

Joey walked out of the house, followed by Zayn.

Ewan and Alex walked out of the gym and started to make their way across the road. They stopped in the middle and started to talk to Zayn and Joey.

"Cheer up a bit, eh?" David smiled. Charlie rolled his eyes.
"No," Charlie turned to face him. "I know."
"Know what?"
"That you kissed her."
David raised an eyebrow.
"Stop the car, Dad," Charlie ordered. David shook his head.
"No," he replied.
"I SAID, STOP THE CAR!" Charlie shouted, grabbing David's hands. The wheel spun out of control and the car spun around. There was a loud bang as a body hit the bonnet. Charlie and David stared out of the windscreen, frozen with shock.

"Stop the car, Dad," Charlie ordered. David shook his head.
"No," he replied.
"I SAID, STOP THE CAR!" Charlie shouted, grabbing David's hands. The wheel spun out of control and the car spun around. There was a loud bang as a body hit the bonnet. Charlie and David stared out of the windscreen, frozen with shock.


A hand hit the road. Charlie and David both climbed out of the car and gasped. Three houses across the road opened their doors. Jack, Kyle and Lauren rushed out. Alex opened his eyes, surprised he hadn't been hit. He turned to see Ewan by his side.
"JOEY!" Zayn screamed, staring at his cousin's lifeless body.

"Come on," Esther mumbled, reaching out to grab her phone. She jumped as a hand touched her back.
"Going somewhere?" A male voice asked.

Jack ran across the road and over to Joey. He leant down next to him.
"Joe? Joe, wake up!" Jack shouted.
Barney Ireland popped his head out of his front door.
"Keep it bloody down out... JOSEPH!"
Barney started to make his way towards the others as quickly as he could using his walking stick. He winced as he saw Joey's bloody body.
"Somebody get Elaine!"
Kyle started to run down the street.

Elaine Green stood in her front room, hovering and humming. She turned the hoover off when the door knocked.
"Coming!" She called. She opened the door to see a flustered Kyle.
"Elaine, you need to come; quickly! I think Joey's going to die!"
Elaine gasped.

Ashley covered his ears, sick of listening to the commotion outside. He winced as weird voices filled his ears.

"Can I have an ambulance please?" Lauren said into the phone. Elaine paced past her and over to Joey's body.
"Joey? Joey, can you hear me?"
She forced his eyelids open and examined his eyes.
"He needs to get to the hospital; now!"
"The ambulance is on its way," Lauren forced a smile. A tear rolled down Jack's cheek.
"Come on, Jack," Lauren said, putting an arm around Jack's shoulder and leading him back to the house. She glanced behind her and smiled at Elaine as she carried on walking.

Samantha waited in her new house, bored. Charlie and David were late. Sam sighed and glanced out of her window. The street was empty, but she could hear shouting coming from further up the road.

Charlie covered his mouth with his hands. He glanced at David, who was staring blankly at Joey's body.

Lauren sat Jack down on the sofa. He was emotionless, but his cheeks were stained with tears.
"He's going to die..." Jack whispered. Lauren shook her head.
"No, he isn't," she forced a smile.
"It should've been me," Jack whispered, looking at Lauren.
"Don't say that!" Lauren ordered.
"But it should have! It should have been me!" Jack shouted. He rested his head on Lauren's shoulder, and she kissed the top of his head.
"Don't be stupid," she whispered. "Joey'll be fine; I promise."
The sound of sirens approached.

"Can you tell me what happened?" A paramedic asked as his other colleagues pushed the bed containing Joey into the back of the ambulance.
"I was driving and..." David began, but was interrupted by Charlie.
"And there was a dog or something, and Dad swerved and... these four were... he didn't see them. They were stood in the middle of the road."
"So it was an accident?" The paramedic asked. Charlie and Dave nodded.

Julie picked up the letter from below her letterbox. She opened it and sighed when she realised it was from the hospital. She threw it into the bin before taking the bin outside. She grabbed a match and lit it before she threw it into the bin. The letter and all of the other things started to burn. A tear rolled down Julie's cheek.

Barney and Zayn stood outside of the hospital room, watching the nurses surround Joey's bed. Zayn started to cry and sat down on the chairs behind. Barney pressed his hands and face against the glass, afraid of losing his son.

Zayn stood above his uncle, who was asleep on the plastic chairs outside of Joey's hospital room. Zayn nudged Barney, and he woke abruptly. Zayn passed him a coffee.

Jack sat on his sofa. Lauren walked out from the kitchen.
"Did you sleep OK?" She asked. Jack shrugged his shoulders.
"Why did you come so early? Why are you babysitting me?"
"Elaine's orders," Lauren pouted. "She said something about "not being in control while in shock", so I have to keep an eye on you. Would you like some breakfast?"
"I can do it myself," Jack groaned, standing up. Lauren rolled her eyes.

Charlie walked out of the Police station.
"Are you OK?" Samantha asked. Charlie nodded.
"Dad'll be out soon," he whispered. Samantha forced a smile.

Marge stood in the launderette. Sarah waked through the door.
"Good morning. I'm Sarah. I moved in last week," Sarah smiled.
"Marge. Marge Butlin."
Sarah placed the laundry basket on the counter. "I haven't unpacked my washing machine yet so I had to come here."
Sarah started to load the washing machine up with her clothes.

Bob smirked as he passed Tina a bag.
"Nice doing business with you, Miss B," Bob said.
Tina smiled as she pulled a pouch of drugs out of the bag.
"Thank you, Bob," Tina smiled. She turned to walk away, but spun back around.
"Anything else?" Bob asked. Tina smiled, and Bob smirked. Tina ran towards him and pushed him back against the wall of the alleyway, where they both started to snog passionately.

Barney sat next to Joey's hospital bed.
"Come on, Joe. Wake up," he whispered. Barney turned to see Lauren standing outside with Zayn as Jack walked into the hospital room.
"Dad?" He asked, looking at Joey's body. "Is he...?"
Barney shook his head. "He should be awake soon, but the doctor's say his position is critical."
A tear formed in Jack's eye.

"Jack's really upset," Lauren whispered to Zayn.
"We all are," Zayn mumbled before turning to Lauren. "Thanks, by the way. For looking after Jack. He can be... dangerous..."
Lauren forced a smile. "It's OK," she whispered. "But I've got to go. See ya later."
Zayn nodded. Jack looked out of the window and Lauren waved before walking away.

Danny sat in the pub, waiting for Riley. Lori sat down opposite him.
"There's something you should know," Lori whispered.
"What?" Danny asked.
"Lauren and... Lauren and Ashley slept together, and she's pregnant with his baby," Lori lied, pleased with the lie she had made up on the spot.
Danny raised an eyebrow.
"No she didn't, she slept with..." Danny began, but stopped. "She said that... she..."
Lori smirked. Danny stared at her, shocked.

Tonight's episode will be late (between 8 & 9) as DigitalSpy hasn't been working for me

"There's something you should know," Lori whispered.
"What?" Danny asked.
"Lauren and... Lauren and Ashley slept together, and she's pregnant with his baby," Lori lied, pleased with the lie she had made up on the spot.
Danny raised an eyebrow.
"No she didn't, she slept with..." Danny began, but stopped. "She said that... she..."
Lori smirked. Danny stared at her, shocked.


A boy walked along the road, holding a suitcase. An older woman followed behind him.
"Wait, JJ!" The woman shouted.
"What's up, Aunt Cora?" JJ asked, turning around.
"It's me blinking legs! They're not what they used to be, see," Cora said.
JJ laughed.

Lauren stared into the mirror, looking at her stomach. She wasn't showing, which was a start. She glanced at the draw that held the pregnancy test. A tear rolled down her cheek.

Danny picked up his phone.
To: Lauren x
Message: You lied! Lori told me; she told me that you slept with Ashley and you're pregnant wiv his baby!
He clicked 'send' as Riley walked into the kitchen.
"What's up with you?" He asked. Dan shook his head.

Sarah sat at the kitchen table, waiting for Bob to arrive. The door opened, and Bob walked in.
"Where was you?" Sarah asked.
"Sorry, I had to make a delivery in Lowestoft, but it was one am by the time I was about to head back so I stayed in a hotel," Bob lied, taking off his coat. Sarah smiled.

Lauren walked out of her house and read Danny's message. She raised an eyebrow and watched as Lori walked past. Danny was walking along the street on the other side of the road.
"Oi!" Lauren shouted, making her way towards Lori. Lori smirked.
"Yes, Lolly?"
Lauren slapped Lori hard around the face. "You lying cow!"
Danny ran across the road and grabbed Lauren, who had already started to lash out at Lori.

Cora and JJ walked into the pub. Cora leant against the pub.
"Excuse me," she called to Amelia. "I don't suppose you could help me find somebody, could you?"
"Depends who," Amelia replied bitterly.
"My brother, Barnabas Ireland."

Esther sat, silent, in the dark room. She could hear two men talking to each other.
"I know that he heard!" One man hissed. "He was in the changing rooms and he heard! He keeps giving me funny looks, and I told you that I saw him go in there! Ewan Lawson knows what we've done and that we're going to kill Esther!"
"Well then," an older man hissed. "We'll just have to kill him."
Esther's eyes widened. She heard a gun be fired and a window shatter.
"Whoa, dude! Are you for real?"
"Yup. We'll spike his drink on Monday the 27th, and when he's at the hospital we'll take it hostage and shoot him!"
Esther gasped.

Danny pulled Lauren into his house and sat her down on the sofa.
"WHAT was all THAT about?" He shouted.
"She's a liar! I never slept with Ash!"
"I already know that!" Danny hissed.
Lauren stood up, annoyed.
"Are you serious?" She screamed. Danny nodded. Lauren's face turned red with anger.
"I... I... I hate you!" She screamed into Danny's face. There was silence.
Danny stared at Lauren before smiling. He leaned in and kissed her lips. They both leaned in again but as he gently kissed her, Riley walked into the room.
"Everything alright in here? I heard shouting."
Lauren and Danny quickly broke apart.
"Yeah, I was just..." Danny stuttered.
"I was just leaving," Lauren interrupted before walking out of the house.

Jack walked to the door and pulled it open. JJ stood in front of him, with Cora behind JJ.
"Alright, Dad?" JJ smirked. Jack gasped.

3 NEW characters have been announced to be joining the DigitalSpy TV soap opera Gerard Avenue!

The Timbles brothers, Sebastian "Seb" Timbles (Jack P Shepperd) and Mitchell "Mitch" Timbles (George Sampson) will be joining in January 2015 as guest characters, before becoming regulars in late January!

As well as this, Samuel "Sam" "Sammy" Price (Ben Price) will also be joining as Zachary Haycock's (Gary Lucy) old best friend in the last week of December!

Speaking of his casting, Ben said:
"I am over the moon to be joining the show! I have some GREAT storylines coming up, and I can't wait for Sam to come on-screen!"

Jack walked to the door and pulled it open. JJ stood in front of him, with Cora behind JJ.
"Alright, Dad?" JJ smirked. Jack gasped.


JJ smiled before pushing past Jack.
"Wow, nice place," JJ smirked. Cora followed JJ inside, placing her suitcase down in the hallway. Jack closed the door and frowned.
"What's up Dad? You don't look too pleased to see me," JJ grinned.

The two figures stood in the room.
"Wait, how do you know Ewan'll be having a drink on the 27th?" One figure asked.
"I'll make sure of it," the other replied.

Charlie walked into King Pizza.
"Hello," Dean greeted him, smiling. Charlie smiled back.
"Hey. Can I have a large box of chips and three chicken strips please?"
"Meal?" He asked.
Charlie nodded. "Yes, please."
Dean smiled.

Benjamin Kayne walked into the hospital room.
"Joe..." he whispered, looking at Joey's body. "Please wake up."
Ben stared at Joey's stitches, a tear running down his cheek.
"B... en..." Joey whispered.
"Joey? Nurse!" Ben shouted. Nurses rushed through the door as Joey lifted his head.

"What is all this noise?" Barney shouted as he made his way downstairs. He walked into the kitchen and gasped when he saw Cora and JJ.
"C.. c... Cora?" He stuttered. "And JJ?"
JJ smiled.
"A'right, Grandad?"

Derek Haycock walked into the Haycock's kitchen.
"Jules?" He called. Julie walked in and stood in front of him.
"What's wrong, babe?"
"I should have told you before..." Julie whispered.
"What?" Derek asked, concerned.
"I... I have cancer..." Julie whispered, tears rolling down her cheeks.
Derek's jaw dropped.

"I should have told you before..." Julie whispered.
"What?" Derek asked, concerned.
"I... I have cancer..." Julie whispered, tears rolling down her cheeks.
Derek's jaw dropped.



Lauren laid on her bed, her cheeks stained with tears from the night before.

JJ sat at the kitchen table, eating a slice of toast. Jack walked in and sighed.

Tina picked up her phone.
1 New Message
From: Bobby <3
Message: Need 2 c u
Tina grinned.

"You can't ignore me, Dad," JJ smirked.
"I can try," Jack mumbled before walking out of the kitchen eating a slice of toast. JJ grinned to himself.

Daniel walked along the road, holding his phone to his ear.
"Hello? Lauren? I need to talk to you. Can you call me back when you get this please? Ta, bye."
He sighed, hitting the phone against his chest.

Ryan sat down next to his brother, Anthony, on the sofa.
"Morning, bruv," Anthony said.
"Good morning," Ryan replied, taking a sip of his coffee.
"Have you seen Mum?" Anthony asked.
"I think she started at the shop early today," Ryan replied. Anthony nodded.

"Right," Ross said, walking into the kitchen. "Your Nan's coming home today, and I want you to help her. Now, where's your bloody brother?"
Riley laughed.
"He's probably just climbed outta some girl's bed. My best guess is that Lauren chick."
"Lauren?" Ross asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Yeah. Lives at Number 25. I saw them kissing the other day," Riley giggled to himself.

Daniel stood outside of Number 25. Lauren opened the door, dressed in a pink onesie.
"Are you ignoring me?" Danny asked.
"No. I've just woken up," Lauren replied.
Danny nodded suspiciously.
"OK?"
"Is that all you wanted?" Lauren snapped.
"L," Danny whispered. "What's wrong?"
"You're talking to me!" Lauren hissed before attempting to slam the door. Danny moved his foot in the way, stopping the door.
"I'm being serious," Danny replied seriously.

Derek stared at his wife, who was lying in the bed.
"Jules, love?" He whispered softly. Julie turned to look at him.
"Please, don't tell the kids," she cried.

"Lori? I need to speak to you. Meet me at the park in five minutes," Zach said into the phone before hanging up.

"I'm fine, honestly," Lauren replied. "Can I go now?"
"There's something wrong," Danny whispered.
"There's not," Lauren replied.

A man walked along the road. He stopped outside of the Ireland's house. He walked up the steps and knocked on the door. Jack opened it a few minutes later.
"Hello, sorry to both you. I was wondering if you knew where this woman lived?"
He held up a very blurred picture of a woman. Jack squinted before pointing at one of the houses on the street.

"Yup? Yeah, that'd be great. He won't expect you," JJ smiled as he talked into the phone. "See ya, Lee."

Paula walked into her house. She gasped when she noticed the backdoor was wide open. She grabbed an umbrella before sneaking into the leaving room, holding in front of her. She made her way into the kitchen and saw the figure looking out of the kitchen window. She raised the umbrella, ready to hit the man.
"Stop!" Bobbi Lawson shouted, spinning around. Paula gasped.

Nice work! Julie.

Thanks Julies going to feature a lot in the upcoming weeks, especially during the pub siege!

Paula walked into her house. She gasped when she noticed the backdoor was wide open. She grabbed an umbrella before sneaking into the leaving room, holding in front of her. She made her way into the kitchen and saw the figure looking out of the kitchen window. She raised the umbrella, ready to hit the man.
"Stop!" Bobbi Lawson shouted, spinning around. Paula gasped.


Finally Falling- Victoria Justice ft. Avan Jogia plays.

Lori walked along the road towards the park. She smiled at Zach and sat down next to him on the bench, clutching her stomach for added effect.

Paula stared at Bobbi, horrified.
"Wha... what are you doing here?" She stuttered.
"I came to see my son. Well, one of them," Bobbi remarked bitterly.
"You won't be able to see Scott," Paula smiled a little bit. "He's gone to Ireland."
"Funny how he doesn't tell his Dad, but he tells his STEP Mum, eh?"
Paula winced as Bobbi reminded her that Scott was her older step-son.

"Are you OK?" Zach asked. Lori nodded.
"Stomach pains- probably just the baby."
"Maybe you should go and get checked out?" Zach fussed, suddenly worried.
"No!" Lori snapped. "Now, why'd you wanna see me?"
"Why did you say I raped you? I didn't; you kissed me! You wanted to sleep with me!"
Lori stared at Zach.

"Ooh, me neck hurts!" Annie shrieked as Ross helped her into the house. He slowly lowered her down onto the sofa. Danny walked into the house and sighed, pulling his jacket off and throwing it onto the arm of the sofa.
"Oi, Daniel. I need to speak to you later," Ross said. Danny nodded before pounding up the stairs.

JJ opened the door and smirked, welcoming the two teenagers into his house.
"So, this is your new place?" The male asked. JJ nodded.
"Yup, Lee."
Lee smiled. His sister, Tiffany, looked around.
"What'd your Dad say? Y'know, about coming 'ere?"
JJ smirked. "I don't think he was too pleased. Uncle Joey's in hospital, so he doesn't know yet."

Jack walked into the hospital room. Joey was lying on the hospital bed. He smiled at Jack.
"Alright?"
Jack nodded. "How are you?" He asked.
Joey forced a smile.
"I feel like I've just been hit by a car," Joey joked. Jack laughed, a tear forming in his eye.
"JJ's back," Jack whispered. "And Aunt Cora."
Joey raised an eyebrow.

Lauren opened the door and stepped out. She was wearing her onesie and her hair wasn't done. She started to quickly walk along the road towards the shop.
"Lauren?" Ewan called. Lauren turned to look at him.
"Ewan?" She whispered.
"Are you OK?" Ewan asked, suddenly concerned. Lauren nodded. "It's just, you ain't been at college for a while."
Lauren shrugged her shoulders.
"Just been a bit sick recently," Lauren replied, faking a smile.
Ewan rubbed his short beard. "Oh, alright. See ya."
He went in to kiss Lauren, but she stopped him.
"Goodbye, Ewan."
Lauren turned and quickly walked away. Ewan stared after her, confused.

Ashley cautiously opened the curtains, looking outside. He ducked down as he saw a police car pulling up outside.
"Crap," he mumbled as a Officer Keet got out. He knocked on the front door.
"Mr Dawson? This is the Police! We know you're in there! Come out now, and you will not be in as much trouble."
Ashley sighed and walked into the hallway. He counted to 3 before opening the door.
"Hi," he grumbled.
"Ashley Dawson, you are under arrest for impersonating a prison guard and breaking out of prison. And this time, you'll be staying in a cell for a very long time, son."
Ashley gulped.
