SONIA Fowler and Reiss Colwell have agreed to start a family together by going through the IVF process.
However, the EastEnders character played by Jonny Freeman is down in the dumps after running into Square chatterbox Karen Taylor.
The beloved nurse portrayed by Natalie Cassidy believed she was pregnant but upon discovering this wasn't the case, she realised she wanted to build a family with her partner Reiss.
But things aren't off to a great start for the lovebirds as upcoming scenes airing on BBC One will show the latter feeling apprehensive.
Coming up next week, Sonia and Reiss head to their first fertility appointment.
Sadly, Reiss feels intimidated by the situation – how will he cope with it all?
