Y/n is Cates's daughter - she is sitting with her family watching the TV when Edith being innocent asks Cate why y/n is breathing heavy - y/n is zoned out and doesn't answer but Cate goes over to her and helps her breath

Cate POV

It had been a long day. I had been home from filming for a few weeks now and back to being whatever a 'normal mother was.' I had been taking the kids to school, picking them up, taking them to clubs after school and making the tea. Andrew had been busy as he was back over in Australia directing a short film so it was just me and the kids in the house.

I picked them all up from a busy day at school. Everyone seemed pretty tired in the back of the car on the way home, Edith even fell asleep on y/n. Y/n carried her out of the car when we got home and laid her down on the sofa covering her with a blanket. It must have been a tiring day in nursery for her. Y/n helped me to make the tea and we all sat down and ate it like a family around the table. The younger boys then went up to bed along with Edith as I tucked them all in.

Y/n and Dash were older now so they obviously stayed up with me. We were sat in our pyjamas watching the TV when Edith came downstairs, not wanting to sleep, so as it was the weekend, I let her stay up with us. She sat with y/n on one sofa whilst Dash and I sat on the other. We all began watching the TV until I heard Edith ask...

Edith: "Y/n why are you breathing really heavy?" She looked confused as y/n did respond, not even a head movement.

That's when I realised y/n was having an anxiety attack. I moved to her kneeling down to her eye level.

Cate: "Y/n hey sweetie, can you listen to me please? Can you hear me love?"

She didn't flint or event move, clearly too preoccupied to hear me. I placed my hand on her face gently, cupping her chin as I ran the pad of my thumb over her cheek. She looked at me and I took both of her hands in mine. She squeezed them tight as her eyes pleaded for me to help her.

Y/n: "M-mum, please m-m-make it s-stop." Y/n stuttered out, struggling to speak

Cate: "Shh shh shh love. I'm here okay."

I moved onto the sofa with y/n pulling her into me as her breathing began to calm. She was now snuggled into me, heck resting in the crook of my neck as the rest of her body draped over me. I grabbed a blanket and wrapped us both in it. Y/n held onto my hands tight as her eyes began to fall shut. She tried to fight off the tiredness but after an attack I knew she was always exhausted.

Cate: "Hey love, its okay sleep. I'll be here when you wake up, I promise."

With that I could hear soft snores as she drifted off to sleep. By this point Dash as holding Edith as she slept in his arms. We all decided to go to bed so Dash took Edith upstairs, tucking her in as he went off to his bed. I carried y/n upstairs as she clung to my hands not letting go. I decided to place her next to me in Andrew and I's bed allowing her to cuddle into me as she slept. Soon the house was silent and all that could be heard was the soft snores from y/n. She was so cute.
