Kat looked up at Gabby who was stroking the nose of baby Mika. Little Mika coos softly, her eyes shining with innocence and wonder as she gazes up at her mother. Gabby couldn't help but feel her heart melt at the sight. "She's beautiful, isn't she?" Gabby grins, looking up at Kat.

Kat smiles softly, her eyes filled with warmth and affection as she gazes down at little Mika. "Yeah, she's absolutely adorable." She agrees softly, reaching out and gently rubbing the baby's cheek lovingly.

"are Tommy and Connie doing okay?" Gabby asks, perking up in her seat as she places Mika back into the pram.

Kat nods with a soft smile. "Yeah, they're doing just fine" She responds softly. She looks over at Gabby, taking note of the tiredness in her expression. "How are you holding up, though? You look tired" She asks gently.

"I mean, having 3 kids under 5 is a bit difficult but Fatboy is helping me so I'll be okay" she smiles, placing her hair in a claw clip.

Kat smiles back at her, feeling a sense of admiration and respect for her friend. "You're doing an amazing job, Gabby." She says softly, placing a comforting hand on her shoulder. "and you have a great guy in Fatboy, he seems like a real gem" She adds on with a chuckle.

"Yeah, he is" Gabby nods, twirling her wedding ring around with a blush on her face. "I still can't believe he married me..."

Kat chuckles softly, a warm smile on her face as she watches Gabby twirl her wedding ring. "I can believe it" She responds softly. "You two are meant for each other, anyone can see that." She adds on with a grin, feeling happy for her niece.

"Just like you and Alfie" she exclaims, looking up at Kat. "why can't yous just get back together, fuck that Roxy Mitchell."

Kat sighs, shaking her head slightly as she feels a swirl of emotions rising within her. "It's complicated, babe.." She mutters softly, a hint of sadness in her voice. "Alfie and I have a lot of history, and a lot of hurt...and Roxy, well, she's in the picture now and Alfie seems happier with her"

"Anyone can see that Alfie loves you." she explains, grabbing her auntie's hand. "If you two aren't together then there's no hope for the rest of us."

Kat stares at her thoughtfully for a moment, feeling a mix of emotions swirling around inside her. "I don't know, Gabby. It's not that simple. Alfie's with Roxy now, and as much as we might want it to be different, we have to accept that they're happy together." She responds softly, her voice filled with a mixture of resignation and wistfulness.

Gabby sighs deeply. "Yeah, I suppose." she spoke, she checks the time and realises it's late and she sighs. "I'm gonna get Mika and Connie back home, I'll see you later on..." Gabby spoke as she goes over to Tommy's bedroom and grabs Connie. "See ya!"

Kat gives Gabby a gentle smile as she watches her grab Connie. "Alright, take care, okay? And remember, you're doing an amazing job as a mum, don't forget that." She responds softly, feeling a sense of admiration and affection.

Gabby managed to finally settle all 3 of her kids down in bed, she collapses into Fatboy's arms and yawns. Fatboy chuckles, feeling his arms wrap around her as he notices her exhaustion. "You look tired, sweetness." He mutters softly, his voice filled with affection and concern. "You need to take a break every now and then, you can't keep burning yourself out like this."

"I know that, but they're my kids..." she stammers, folding her arms. "I'm scared to leave them for just a second..."

Fatboy gives her a comforting squeeze, his expression full of understanding. "I know that, sweetheart. But you need to take care of yourself too. You're an amazing mum, but you can't give your best if you're exhausted." He says softly, his eyes filled with love and care.

"I'll take a nap, yeah?" Gabby yawns, leaning down on Fatboy's chest and closing her eyes before falling fast asleep.

Fatboy smiles softly as he feels her fall asleep on his chest, his heart swelling with love for her. He gently strokes her hair with his fingers, watching her sleep with a fond smile on his face.

Gabby had woke up late in the night, Fatboy was fast asleep but she felt as if something was wrong. She walked into the kid's bedroom and over to all 3 of them, kissing their heads and tucking them in. But when she got to Mika all she could feel was coldness, she moved her head up in shock, noticing her daughter was pale and her lips were blue.

Fatboy woke up with a start as he heard Gabby's panicked gasp, his heart racing as he quickly sat up. "What's wrong?" He asked urgently, his voice full of concern as he watched Gabby frantically inspecting Mika.

"Mika isn't breathing, she's blue and she's cold!" Gabby spoke, panicking as she grabbed her phone and dialled 999.

Fatboy's eyes widened in shock as he heard Gabby's panicked voice. He quickly stood up and rushed over to where she was standing, his heart pounding in his chest with worry. "Oh my god...okay, stay calm," He spoke urgently, placing a hand on her shoulder for support.

"Why isn't she breathing?!" Gabby stammered, waiting for someone to pick up. "Hi, yeah...uh can I have an ambulance please?" Gabby spoke into her phone.

As Gabby waited for the ambulance to arrive, Fatboy quickly picked up Mika and began performing CPR to attempt to revive her. He felt his heart racing in his chest, his mind racing with worry and shock. "Come on, Mika...breathe, baby..." He murmured softly, his voice filled with desperation.

Gabby suddenly ran outside of the flat, looking around frantically. Norman and Mandy look over at her puzzled and run over, concerned.

Norman and Mandy's faces filled with shock and concern as they saw Gabby's panicked expression and rushed outside the flat. "What's going on?" Norman asked urgently, his voice filled with worry. "What happened?"

"It's Mika, she's blue...and she's not waking up." Gabby choked, collapsing onto the stairs.

Norman and Mandy's expressions filled with shock and horror as they heard Gabby's words. They quickly rushed inside the flat, their hearts pounding in their chests with worry. Mandy immediately went to Gabby's side, wrapping her arms around her in a comforting hug while Norman rushed into the flat to check on Mika.

Suddenly, the square was consumed by blue and red flashing lights. The ambulance stopped right in front of their flat and Norman came running out with a small Mika in his hands.

The sight of Mika lifeless in Norman's arms filled Fatboy and Gabby with a sense of dread and disbelief. They couldn't believe that this beautiful little girl they loved so dearly was fighting for her life. They followed Norman closely as he carried Mika towards the ambulance, their hearts aching with a mixture of worry and hope.

The paramedics begin to try and resuscitate her before looking up at eachother with a look of dread. "Should we stop?" the paramedic asks the other.

Fatboy and Gabby watched on helplessly as the paramedics worked on Mika, their hearts sinking at the sight. They could feel a wave of despair wash over them as they heard the paramedics speak to each other, their words sending a chill down their spine. "No..., no please don't stop," Gabby whispered, her voice choked with emotion.

"Time of death, 23;42pm" a paramedic suddenly sighs, looking up at Gabby and Fatboy.

The words hit Gabby and Fatboy like a ton of bricks, sending a wave of shock and grief through their bodies. They stared at the paramedic in disbelief, their minds Struggling to process the news. Fatboy felt a numbness wash over him as he tried to comprehend the finality of it all, while Gabby felt a deep sense of despair and desperation wash over her, tears streaming down her face.

"You're lying!" Gabby screamed, looking at her daughter's lifeless body. "Please, don't!" she ran over to her daughter, cradling her tightly. "Not my baby, not my baby..." she stammered, sobbing.

Fatboy watched on helplessly as Gabby clutched onto their lifeless daughter's body, tears streaming down his face. He felt a deep sense of anguish and despair wash over him, his heart breaking in a thousand pieces as he watched the woman he loved holding their dead daughter in her arms. He wanted desperately to comfort her, but he felt frozen to the spot, unable to move or speak. They both came to realisation that their daughter was dead, Mika was gone.
