In the touching scenes, Lily (Lillia Turner) confides in Kat Slater (Jessie Wallace) that she changed her mind as her abortion date approached.
“It didn’t seem real before today,” Lily explained before Kat shared how she felt about Stacey (Lacey Turner).
“It’s your body, Lil. Your future. Your choice. Because you’re the one living with it,” Kat told her.

In earlier scenes, Lily finally found out she was pregnant, while mum Stacey broke down in tears when she broke the wonderful news.
As the young woman dreaded discovering she was pregnant, she refused to reveal the father’s identity, leaving a concerned Stacey to fear she had been cared for by an adult.
The youngster then confirmed that the father is Ricky Junior – the 12-year-old son of Sam Mitchell and Jack Branning.
