A Slater And A Branning {Eastenders}

Ten

Mia groaned as she lay in bed, she woke up to the sound of yelling, she knew that things weren't going to be easy. She knew that she was having a baby with Jack Branning. She knew that they weren't officially a couple. How they were only hooking up and it scared her.

She knew her family. She knew how they didn't like Jack. She knew how she had to find a way to focus on it all. To make it work. Mia rested a hand on her stomach and smiled.

Mia knew how she didn't have the best relationship with her mum. How it was hard with Jean having bipolar and growing up. But she knew that she always had Sean and Stacey there for her. She knew how hard Jean tried. It wasn't her fault.

Mia knew that she wanted better then what she had. She wanted better for her baby. She knew that she had to try. But she knew it wasn't going to be easy. Even though she knew that she and Jack weren't a thing.

Mia knew that they could do it. That they had to try and make it work for the baby.

Mia walked through the square. She smiled as she saw Madison. "Are you okay?" Madison asked.

Mia groaned. "It's just the morning sickness. I know it's only going to be so long until they find out I am pregnant. And as much as I love our family. my crazy family, I don't want it to be like this, you know? You know how they feel about Jack. I just don't know how to deal with it all."

Madison smiled. "I know it's hard trust me. I know more than anyone how it will blow up once the truth comes out. But I have your back and you have mine. That's what family is for. Sure they won't like that Jack is the father. But I know that they love you more than they hate you. You will be okay," she said.

Mia looked to her and smiled. "I hope that you're right. And that baby, I know you messed up. You have Kush. He loves you and that baby. Despite the dna of it," she told her.

Madison looked to her cousin. She smiled as she walked over to her cousin. She hugged her. "It's going to be okay. I promise," Madison said as Mia hugged her back and smiled.

Mia smiled as she sat at the park. Jack walked over. He sat next to her. "I have been calling you. l wanted to see if you were okay," he said.

Mia looked to him and smiled. "I'm okay. I'm just trying to get my head around everything," she told him.

Jack took a hold of her hand. He smiled as he looked to her. "I know how hard things are. But we are going to do this. It will be okay. I promise," he told her as Mia smiled.

She had no idea just how the truth about her pregnancy was about to be exposed.
