''Noooooo!''
Viv looks up from her position on the beach towel as she hears Josh giggle loudly, smiling lovingly as she watches him crawl away from Ben and Olivia chasing him. She chuckles as Beth takes the opportunity to tackle Ben down, shaking her head as their loud laughter fills the air, and turns her head to look at June lying beside her. ''Who is the two-year-old?''
June laughs softly and shrugs. ''Well from the size I would say JoJo, but from behavior, definitely Bethany and Ben.''
Viv turns to her with a frown as she hears her voice waver and reaches out to grab her hand. ''Is everything alright June?''
''Ye...'' June cuts herself off and sighs. ''No, Rich and I need to talk to the four of you tonight.'' She whispers. ''Preferably without little ears around.''
''Judging your voice it's more a topic need to be shared with your kids first.'' Viv tells her softly. ''Olivia and I can take Jo for a walk and...''
''No, No.'' June breaths out. ''I want you and Liv to hear it too, the both of you are a big part of our children's and our lives Viv.'' She locks eyes with her and sighs. ''And I think Bethany needs you.''
''Alright.'' Viv murmurs sensing June doesn't want to talk about it yet and pats her leg softly. ''I am in desperate need of some coffee, do you want some?'' She stands up as June nods her head, smiling as Rich takes her spot nodding her head as he asks if she can grab a tea for him and turns to the three joking around on the beach.
She lifts her hand up to her mouth, whistling loudly, and chuckles as she watches Olivia stumble over Josh as he suddenly stops in his tracks. ''Drinks?'' She asks laughing as Ben and Beth also turn to her in surprise, Beth jogs over after pushing Ben and smiles.
''I will join you.'' She breaths out as she notices Josh crawl over to her pops and mum, she leans into Viv's side as she feels her arm wrap around her shoulder and wraps her own around her waist as they walk to the coffee shop near the beach to grab warm drinks and a snack for all of them.
After they all spend a couple of more hours on the beach and grabbing a quick bite on their way back to the house, Viv leaves Josh's room after she read him a bedtime story and jogs down the stairs.
''Viv?''
She smiles as Ben holds a bottle of Heineken up for her to take as she walks past him and taps the top of his head chuckling as he rubs it with a frown. ''Thanks Ben.'' She breaths out as she sits down beside Beth on the couch, Beth leans against her side as she feels Viv's arm on the cushions behind her and turns to her parents.
''You wanted to talk to all of us Mum?'' She asks after taking a sip of her wine.
June nods her head as she scoots closer to Rich and looks at their children. ''Do you want us...'' She shakes her head as Liv mentions between herself and Viv, and sighs softly.
''No, I think this is something the four of you need to hear.''
''You are scaring us Mum.'' Beth tells her honestly as she takes Ben's hand in her own after Liv swapped places with him, June looks at them and sighs sadly.
''Sorry loves.'' She breathes out as she watches Viv and Liv both scoot closer to sandwich Ben and Beth between them. ''Do the both of you remember that I told you that I had to go to the doctor because I struggled with abdominal pain and tiredness?'' She asks softly.
''Yeah, we do.'' Ben breathes out. ''But you never told us what the doctor said.''
''Your mum had to undergo some tests and we heard about the results a few days ago,'' Rich explains. ''It took them a while to find out what was wrong.''
