It came after Avani slept with abusive incel Joel Marshall in the controversial storyline.
But things took a dark twist recently when Avani decided to have a termination and Suki tried to stop her.
And in a further bizarre twist, Suki, a mother of four already, decided she was desperate for another baby - specifically Avani's.
She has convinced Avani to have the baby and give it to her and wife Eve to raise it.

However, Eve doesn't know of Suki's plan and has not yet even agreed to change her mind about having children.
The entire storyline has seen viewers turn on Suki and call for her to be axed.
One wrote: 'Suki is just so vile right now.
'The worst she's ever been, which is such a terrible shame after she's been so excellent for the last few years.

Another added: 'You cannot defend Suki and say that her behaviour is 'in character' or a 'trauma response' when it's actually just bad writing and controversy for controversy's sake.'
A fourth commented: 'Years of character development erased in a fortnight. Time for Suki to go.'

Masterchef contestant edited out of show after objecting to broadcast
A contestant on the upcoming series of MasterChef has been edited out of the programme after asking producers not to air the show, following allegations against presenters Gregg Wallace and John Torode. Sarah Shafi, from Leeds, told producers Banijay she believed broadcasting the series would send the wrong message about accountability and the treatment of women. As reported by The Guardian, she initially refused an offer to be edited out and instead urged them to cancel the show altogether. She later agreed to be removed as a compromise after the BBC confirmed the series would air from 6 August. Wallace and Torode were both dropped as presenters following an independent report. An independent report upheld 45 complaints against Wallace, including claims of inappropriate sexual language and one incident of unwanted contact. Wallace apologised "for any distress caused", but said the report cleared him of "the most serious and sensational accusations". Torode was the subject of a substantiated complaint over racist language, which he denies. In a statement to RTÉ, Banijay said: "We are sorry that Sarah does not support the decision to air this series of MasterChef. "We carefully considered her concerns and discussed them with the BBC. However, having consulted with all contributors in the series, the resounding feeling from those taking part was support for airing the series."
