Forbidden Love (Hollyoaks)

32

Harleigh stood in front of the mirror and smiled as she looked to her bump as Freddie walked in and wrapped his arms around her as they looked to her reflection

"Are you okay" he asked as she smiled

"I'm just thinking over the baby. Over us and Madison" she said as Freddie smiled

"Madison will be okay" he said. 

Harleigh sighed and nodded. She knew how complicated her whole family was. And she wanted her life to be okay.

Freddie pulled her close. He kissed her and smiled. "I love you. It's going to be okay," he said.

"I hope so."

Harleigh went to make some coffee. She knew she couldn't drink it. She knew Freddie was allowed to. She sighed and smiled. "I think you and I need to get away for a few days," she mumbled.

"I wish. I've got the garage go deal with," he said as he kissed the top of her head.

"Wishful thinking."

Harleigh went to see Madison. She found her in the coffee shop. "So what's going on?" She asked.

Madison sighed. She knew how she was taking a risk. "Look. It was doing my head in. I've done nothing wrong. I'm not hiding away. I'm due to have her soon. My Bella. And I'm not hiding away. I want my sister there for her birth. Don't tell mum I'm back. I don't want her knowing."

Harleigh smiled. "You should know. Warren grabbed me. He thinks I know where you are."

"That's not on. I'm going to tell him to back off. Or he will regret it. I've got too much dirt on him," Madison said.

Harleigh looked to her. She sighed. "Babes. Leave him alone. He's not worth it. He's angry you left. I would be too. I just dont want you getting hurt."

"He won't hurt me. Not while I'm pregnant. He wants this baby too much to hurt me. Leave him to me," Madison said as she stood up and walked off.

Harleigh saw her mum and walked over to her. She sighed. "Madison is back. I don't know how long for. But she doesn't want you knowing," she said.

Grace frowned. "She's back?"

"For now. Leave her alone though. You slept with Warren. And she can't forgive that."

Grace sighed. She knew how she had messed up with both her girls. But she wanted to make it right. She smiled. "I know I've hurt you both. And I'm sorry. I love you."

"I love you too mum. But too much has happened. And it's going to take time to forgive you," Harleigh said as she walked off.

Harleigh walked into the flat. She saw Freddie there and smiled. "Hey babe."

"Hey. I saw Madison. She's doing okay. I think she just wants to be around her family now she's about to have the baby. It makes me realise how lucky I am to have you," she said.

Freddie pulled her close and kissed her. He held her close. "I promise. I'm not going anywhere. I love you. And I will always love you," he said.

"Same."

The two of them kissed. Unaware of how everything was about to change between them.
