Emily sighed to herself as she sat in the kitchen. She couldn't sleep. All that she could think about was Connie and how worried that she was going to die. Emily knew that she couldn't loose her mum, it was the last thing that she wanted or needed. Iain walked into the kitchen and looked to her and frowned. Iain knew that smog wasn't coping. He knew her well enough to know when she lying to him "em, you need to rest" he said as she looked up at him and sighed as she ran a hand through her hair as she looked to Iain "I can't, there has to be something I can do to help my mum. I mean it's my mum and I can't sit back and watch her die. I'm a doctor and I am meant to save life's. I can't let her down not like I like cal down" she said as Iain looked to her and frowned.

"Is that what you think, that you'll et down down. I know that he died but it's not your fault Emily. You did your best" he said as she looked to him and sighed "that's the point, my best isn't good enough. I can't let my mum down" Emily said as Iain looked to her and sighed "you can't push me away okay, I love you and I am not going anywhere. You need to talk to someone about this, me, Leah anyone" she said as he looked to her and smiled "what's the point Iain, it's not going to help my mum" she said as she started to sob as she pulled him to her feet and smiled as he held her close and smiled as she sobbed into his chest. He ran a hand through her hair and smiled "it's going to be okay, I promise" he said as he held her close

Emily looked to her and frowned "what is it" "I want you to operate on my arm and remove the tumour" "I'm not a surgeon" "I'll talk you through it please Emily" Connie said as Emily looked to her and nodded. Emily sat down with Connie and sighed as she slowly cut open her arm and started to remove as much tumour as she could "I'm so proud of you, do you know that" Connie said as Emily looked to her snd smiled "you are going to fight this, aren't you?" She asked as Connie looked to her and smiled "of course I am, in Connie beauchamp im not letting a tumour take me" Connie said as Emily looked to her and smiled

Leah looked to Emily and smiled "so I talked to Iain and he's told me how your trying to find a way to help mum" Leah said "are you trying to talk me out of it?" "No, I'm not. I'm telling you just your not alone and I want to you, don't push me away. I don't want to loose her either" Leah said as Emily looked to her and nodded
