Andys POV~

I was at Jacks for a few hours before I decided to go home, I needed to see Gabby and Maisie. Jack drove me back, the window was still smashed, I took a deep breathe and got out. I didn't have a key, I knocked on the door, my heart was beating out of my chest. I left, did they even want to see me, I didn't have time to even question myself because they next minute Gabby was stood at the door.

'A.Andy..' she stuttered before wrapping her arms around me

'I'm home' I could feel her crying into my shoulder

'You're okay. Where have you been' she said pulling away looking at me

'I went to the flat. I couldn't be around you all, the people I cared about, I didn't want to hurt you' I replied, tears were still rolling down her face

'I don't care, I don't want to you leave ever again, Andy you left when you were upset, I thought something bad had happened' she hugged me again

'DADDDYYYY' I heard a scream before I could say anything else, she ran down the stairs and jumped onto me, I lifted her up and hugged her so tight

'Baby! I missed you so much' she looked at me, the smile on her face was so big, I felt a tear drop down my cheek

'Why are you crying' she giggled and wiped my face

'Because I missed you' I smiled

'How was your work trip' she asked as I put her down

'It was good. But I'm never going away again' she smiled and grabbed my hand

'I need to show you my new doll' I laughed and followed as Gabby shut the door behind me. I sat on the sofa, watching Maisie playing l, Gabby sat next to me, she put her hand on my thigh

'Lily's home' I turned to her and smiled

'I know, I went to see her' she rested her head on my shoulder

'She's okay, you're okay, we're all here, safe, at home, happy' I kissed her forehead

'And that's not going to change' I assured her, we sat in silence, enjoying it.

'Why do you think Lily left?' Gabby asked

'She found out about you and Brook...' I whispered, I felt her head shoot up

'She what!' Gabby shouted, standing up

'I'm sorry, she found out and she was confused, we argued and then she left, I couldn't help it' I replied

'So what, you decided to tell our daughter that?' She questioned

'I didn't. Brook did, by accident' she laughed

'Oh my, even better, I bet she hates me, that's probably why she left, how great' she threw her arms in the air and went upstairs.

'What's wrong with Mummy?' Maisie asked, I spun around and saw her stood holding her doll

'Nothing baby, she's okay, she's just tired' she smiled and ran off.

I slowly walked up the stairs, she wasn't in our room, she was in Lilys, sitting on her bed looking at the photo she had on her bed side table. It was of us four, when we went on holiday. I sat next to her

'She doesn't hate you, trust me, you're her mum, she loves you' I explained, she put the photo down and looked up at me

'Thankyou' she said and I frowned

'For what?' I replied smiling

'Forgiving me, everything that happened all them years ago. Thankyou' she sighed, a few tears dropping down her cheeks. I grabbed a tissue and she wiped her eyes, throwing it in the bin

'Are you okay now?' I smiled, but she didn't reply, she was froze. 'Gabby?' I said, for a few moments she didn't reply, until she turned her head and looked at me

'Andy...' she say up straight, holding it in her hands.

We had dropped Maisie off at Rye and Jess' house, and we were pulling up to Jacks.

'Hey guys' Ellie said answering the door to us, we went inside, they were all sat watching tv, Jack, Lily and Sam. Gabby grabbed my arm, quite tight.

'What're you doing here?' Lily smiled up at us

'The real question is, do you have anything to tell us?' I replied, she frowned and sat up

'Um no? Why what's up?' She asked, I didn't say anything, I just threw it to her, it landed on her lap, she didn't look at me, she didn't move. Sam stood up

'We were going to tell you, she was scared, she wanted to find the right way to do it'

I ignored him, I looked at Lily and raised my voice making everyone jump a little

'So it's true, you're pregnant!'
