Her Little Girl {Hollyoaks}

23

Madison sat in the flat with Ella. She looked to her and smiled. She knew that she and Warren were trying to do their best for her. And raise her.

Madison knew how things had been and she knew how it hadn't been easy. But she did know that she wanted to give her little girl the best chance and she did want to be a good mum.

She looked to Ella who lay on her lap and smiled. "Mummy loves you so much baby girl. It's all going to be okay I promise you. I know how things are with your dad and I. But one thing we can agree on is what is best for you. And giving you the best chance. It's what you deserve," Madison said.

She knew that more than anything, that she wanted to be a good mum. And even though she loved her mum, she wanted to do better than Grace had.

She looked as Grace walked in and smiled. "How is my granddaughter?" She asked.

Madison looked to her and smiled. "She's good. I know how none of this is easy.  You did it with both me and Harleigh. And without a dad in the picture. I don't know how you managed. I know all that happened with Warren. I don't forgive either of you for what you did but I am trying to forget and move on. And do what's best for her. She deserves all the family. I just hope I am doing the right thing."

Grace looked to her and smiled. "I know I can never get forgiveness for what I did. But I am sorry. I want you to know that I hate myself for what I did. I am sorry. I just want us to be okay," she said.

Madison smiled. "We're trying. That's all that matters," she said.

She knew it would take her a long time to forgive.

Madison sat walking through the village with Ella. Harleigh walked over to her. She smiled. "hey are you okay?" She asked.

"I'm okay. I am so tired. But she is worth it."

"Of course she is. She's so cute. Just like her auntie Harleigh. I know how things are. I know it's not easy. But I know you're a great mum to her already. How is it with Warren?" She asked.

Madison looked to her and sighed. "It's not easy. I am trying to do what's best and all but it's hard. There's this tension and all of these feelings there still. I just don't know how to deal with it all," she said. 

Harleigh smiled. "I know it's hard, but it will be okay. I know it will," she said as Madison smiled.

Hoping that she was right.

Madison dropped Ella off with Warren as he looked to her. "How has she been?" He asked

"She's good as gold. Are you okay to have her until tomorrow? I made her bottles and that."

"Of course. She is my daughter too," he said as she smiled as the two of them held a look.

Madison knew at things weren't easy. But she knew how she wanted to try and make it work.

But could she stop herself from falling back in love with Warren Fox?
