Gabby and Fatboy arrive back in Walford, both clearly knackered with a baby in the back seat. Gabby yawns as she takes Connie out of the car, taking her sleeping body upstairs to their flat.

Now back in Walford, Gabby enters the flat with a now-dreaming Connie in her arms...with Fatboy following right behind.

He's still in his tired state...but he quickly shakes it off as he watches the two of them go into the flat.

For the last 4 weeks, the two of them had spent some time travelling...exploring Croydon...experiencing new things...and now they were back in Walford as a family.

"I'm so tired" Gabby yawns, rubbing her eyes as she places Connie down in her bed. "I'm gonna go take a nap, is that okay?" she smiles, her eyes heavy.

Fatboy nods, his tone of voice sounding gentle and soft...not wanting to bother her too much right now.

"Yeah...that's alright...just...make sure you get plenty of rest when you sleep, alright?" he says, now looking over at the baby as she's placed in the bed.

Gabby nods and stumbles over to their bedroom, practically collapsing into the bed. He watches as she stumbles her way into the bed as he continues to look into the baby's room, a thoughtful look on his face as he continues to watch her.

He eventually decides to go and check up on her...after around an hour of her being in the bedroom.

Gabby is sound asleep, laying down on the side position. He sees her like that as he slowly walks into the bedroom, a soft smile on his face as he sees her in such a peaceful state, he grabs a blanket and places it over her with a soft smile. Fatboy kisses her forehead before leaving and shutting the bedroom door.

The next morning...Gabby wakes up, slowly coming out of a deep slumber.

Her eyes are still a bit grogged...but after a minute or two...she wakes up properly as she stretches her body.

She rubs her eyes as she sits there in bed...before slowly trying to get up.

Her movements are a lot more slow...as she tries to stop herself from waking the sleeping baby.

"Fats?" she whispers as she taps him lightly, attempting to wake him up. "Arthur!"

Fatboy doesn't seem to stir by her tapping him, but he seems to stir when she calls out his name.

"Hmm?" he murmur as he starts to slowly wake up...his eyes still drowsy as they slowly begin to open.

"What time is it?" she yawns as she rubs her eyes, leaning up in bed. She looks around, still feeling tired.

"Nine in the morning," he says softly, looking down at his phone. his voice also quite tired as she rubs her eyes.

He stretches out his arms as he rubs his eyes as well, still feeling quite tired...as he now looks over at her.

Gabby quickly shoots up out of bed, grabbing a pair of pants and jumping up out of bed. "Oh my god...oh my god...we're gonna be late!" she yells out, grabbing a pair of clothes and throwing them at fatboy. "Put some bloody clothes on!" she yells out.

"O-okay..." he says abruptly, sounding tired still but immediately springing out of bed as she yells at him.

He quickly grabs a pair of trousers, and immediately gets changed.

"We're gonna be late?" he asks...now sounding a bit confused as to why they're going to be late.

Gabby finishes pulling her shirt over her and pushes her hair back. "Yes...Connie's got nursery and I'm working!" she yells out, practically jumping into her pants.

"Oh..." he says softly, as she suddenly jumps out of bed and quickly starts to get changed...which causes him to start to panic as well.

He quickly gets changed into his own clothes, with his pace quickening as he does so.

Gabby giggles as they both finish getting changed, she sighs as she brushes her hair before going into Connie's room, waking her up and getting changed.

"Ready?..." he says quite suddenly, his voice a bit tired as he walks out of the bedroom and over to her...now fully dressed.

"Connie ready as well?" he adds on, making sure she's fully ready before they have to leave.

"Yeah, she's ready!" Gabby smiles, placing Connie into a pram.

"Good!" he says, his voice a bit gentle as he looks over at her...seeing the little one in the pram now.

"Alright...let's go then, yeah?" he adds on soft and gently...as he opens the front door and waits for her to leave first.

Hours later, the two of them are back home after working and taking Connie to the nursery...they're both quite exhausted, given how early they had to start their day off for dropping Connie off at the nursery.

"That was such an early start..." Fatboy sighs, as they go back into their flat.

Gabby laughs, taking a sleepy Connie out of her pram. "It was worth it, hmm?" she smiles softly, laying Connie on the sofa.

"Mhmm..." he says softly, his tone still tired as he leans on the wall as she takes her daughter out of the pram.

He stays silent for a moment, looking over at Connie as she now lies on the sofa...he walks over to her, slowly going down on one knee as he gently strokes her hair.

Fatboy suddenly gets up. "Listen..." he says, walking towards Gabby and grabbing her waist. "Me and Alfie...we're going Germany for a few days for this market thing" he says, kissing her neck. "I know it's short notice but..."

"Uhm..." is all that she can respond with as he places his hands on her waist...as he comes closer and kisses her neck, causing her to get a little flustered.

She then hears him tell her that Alfie and him would be leaving to Germany for a few days...which causes her to get a little concerned.

"Germany?..."

Fatboy sees her suddenly get concerned...as he's unsure as to why she's looking like this.

"Yes, we have to go to Germany...for that market thing...but it's just for a few days...we'll be back soon. I'll definitely be back soon, I just have some...business to handle over there."

Gabby nods slowly, kissing him softly. "Bring me back a present, yeah?" she tilts her head with a smile. "and bring Connie one too" she grins, letting him go.

Fatboy laughs quietly, enjoying the little moment they have here.

"...of course, I'll definitely get you and Connie a present while we're there," he says softly, smiling softly as he gently grabs her hand with his own.

"So...I'll definitely be back soon...and...I promise to bring back something nice for you both."

"Be safe...yeah?" She smiles, kissing him again before he grabs his bags and leaves the flat.
