Child of Mine Casualty

She had a fit, punctured her carotid artery. Ambulance is on its way.

Grace, talk to me.

She had a serious head injury.

There's no neurological reason why she's not talking.

She's breathing, Max.

She's going to make it.

Morning.

All consultants will be asked to re-interview for their jobs.

HE LAUGHS

Yes, I'd like to come with you people.

No need to do anything unnecessary.

I come on my own volition.

PHONE RINGS

Hello?

Hello, Mrs Beauchamp.

Ah, Hugo. I'm just about to take her presents to her so...

Actually, I wanted to speak to you.

Hugo?

Me? OK.

Hugo? What can I do for you, darling?

Hugo?

Hugo, are you still there?

Is everything OK?

Hugo?!

Just...say happy birthday to Grace.

LINE DISCONNECTS

Hugo, where are you?

Hugo, can I talk to you?

Hugo!

Hugo!

Hugo, come back!

DOORBELL RINGS

-HUGO'S ANSWERPHONE:

-Hi, I'm not here. You know what to do.

Good morning.

-Don't worry, it's educational.

-Hmm.

Hugo!

Hugo, come back!

I don't want to talk to you.

Hugo!

Get back here!

# Happy birthday to you

# Happy birthday to you

# Happy birthday, dear Gracie

# Happy birthday to you! #

All right?

Oh! Oh, OK.

Happy birthday, Gracie.

There we go.

Erm, breakfast first before presents.

It's all ready to go. It's all on there.

Music, games, internet.

She already has one.

Connie, she can have a little bit of fun.

CRASHING Grace!

-It's OK.

-No, it's fine, I'll do it. I'll do it, I'll do it.

Are these your tablets?

Gracie, this is for your epilepsy.

These are very serious.

Stupid girl.

-Connie!

-No.

Pass me a glass of water.

-Take this.

-Connie, let's just talk about this.

Take it now.

I thought I could trust you, but obviously I can't.

So you're coming to work with me today so I can keep an eye on you.

SIRENS WAIL

This morning, Robyn?

Oh, that's great news.

Yeah? OK. Thanks. Yeah, bye.

They're discharging her?

Good thing we slept well.

That was our last night of peace for a while.

Don't say that! I'm too old for the 2am nappy duty.

David.

-Hiya.

-Hi.

Good to see you.

Yes, yes. Good to see you.

David, it's going to be fine.

Fine. Yes. It's fine, fine.

Yeah.

You know, Connie, she can come upstairs with me.

No, she's staying in the ED where I can keep an eye on her.

Morning.

I wonder how Grace feels about her new stepmum.

Do you think you're going to all go on holiday together, maybe?

What's it called?

Blended family.

Hugo?

Hugo, come back!

Hugo!

Please, Hugo.

I'm not angry with you.

I'm not going to hurt you.

I just want us to sit and talk about it.

That's all, OK?

Hugo?

I want my dad.

No.

We're going home. Come on.

-I want to call Dad.

-No, you're not calling him! Let's go.

-Get off me!

Hugo!

Hugo, what are you doing?

Hugo, get down now.

-Hugo, come on.

-Never!

What are you doing? It's dangerous!

-Leave me alone!

-Come down!

-We need to talk!

-EXPLOSION

HUGO SCREAMS

Right, hour's physio, then you get this.

Keep an eye on her - make sure she does her exercises.

-Come on, Connie.

-What?

-She needs rest days.

She needs time for her muscles to recover.

Right, so suddenly now you're an expert in physio?

She's doing too much.

How would you know?

-You're not with her every day.

-Neither are you.

Just be gentle.

She's not trying to be difficult. She's frustrated.

Morning. Hey, look what I found.

Don't know whose it is. Must be for you!

You'd think he'd have more things to worry about than just hounding us.

He's like a shark, isn't he, when there's blood in the water -

it's in his nature.

Connie still thinks she's safe.

What, on her salary? I think she's the biggest prey.

David, welcome back.

Hi. Hi.

-Feeling all right?

-Absolutely. Never better.

Raring to go. Up and at 'em!

But not too much! Just...

Up and at 'em an appropriate amount.

Right.

Well, how about you have a word with the gang?

A...word with the gang?

Yeah, show them you're back.

You're still part of the team.

Isn't it better if I just slip under the radar?

Right. OK, but watch your step today.

You're going to have to earn back their trust.

OK, woman in her 50s, found outside a hostel by a worker.

Shivering and cold to the touch.

Temperature 35.8, GCS is 13. PATIENT GROANS

Motor impairment and confusion, but she's clearly been drinking

so I don't know if that's the cold or the booze talking.

Been a long night, has it, Molly?

David, with me, please.

-Who, me?

-Yeah.

Cubicle's free.

HE STAMMERS

Are you sure?

HE BREATHES DEEPLY

Hugo?

I think I've hurt my leg.

I can't move it.

What do you mean, you can't move it?

It's stuck.

It feels wet.

Just stay still, OK?

I'm going to call for help.

Ambulance, please.

Right, let's get a cannula in and some bloods off.

Gets quite cold out there at night.

I don't feel it. Look, I'm going home.

With all due respect, you were found asleep outside a hostel

in a flower bed. I think you're better off here, don't you?

Flower bed's softer than this thing.

Then we will have somebody bring you some silk sheets.

Where's Zoe?

Get me Zoe, she'll see me right.

I am afraid Dr Hanna's moved on.

Hey, you, lad.

Give Dr Zoe Hanna a call

and tell her that Molly Drover needs a word with her.

Well, I...

-I suppose I could...

-Failing that,

a brandy...and a couple of fags.

Let's just get the bloods done.

Right, this arm.

Oh, Dr Chao?

Morning, Gem. How's your revision?

You're good with numbers, right? Like maths and that?

I'm a bit rusty with trig and calculus,

but I'm all right with stats.

Why?

They've told me I need to sit a numeracy test - in two weeks.

And if I fail, I lose my job.

How can that be fair?

Just when I was working so hard on my spelling,

just when I was getting somewhere. And now maths!

Don't panic. Meet me at lunch, I'll bring some books.

Come on!

Jez!

We still on for later?

You know, what we talked about the other day? That special treat?

-Yeah?

-Well, I've booked us a table. 7 o'clock.

-What?

-It's a pop-up restaurant in town. It's dead trendy.

Everything's foraged.

I thought you weren't bothered about all that...posh stuff?

Well, we've done it your way. Now it's my turn.

All right, come on, we've got an accident at a farm. We need to go.

And wear a suit!

Here we go.

Charlie.

Hello.

So, first day out in the big wide world.

Hello, darling.

Where are you taking your mum? What's the plan?

Um... We're going to wait for you to finish work.

Well, we won't be finished till gone five.

Take her out for a walk, show her off.

Oh...

I don't know, she's been coughing a bit.

First time I took Louis out,

I was so terrified he was going to get cold,

I wrapped him up in about nine blankets. He nearly suffocated!

She might be tiny, but she's a lot tougher than she looks.

Just like her mum.

So, if I only have the spelt and mushroom porridge,

and I only drink tap water, and I definitely don't leave a tip,

then I can afford it.

Spelt and mushroom?

Yes. With foraged sorrel leaves.

You know what that means, don't you?

They found it in a hedge!

HE CHUCKLES

Why don't you just tell her you can't afford it?

Right, she'll understand.

No, no, no, she has...expectations.

Might be a daft question, but are you... Are you enjoying any of this?

Not seen you here before.

Maybe you just haven't noticed me.

Hmm.

One of the quiet ones.

It's you lot we have to watch!

SHE SIGHS

I always usually get a sandwich in here.

Biscuits, too.

The chocolate ones.

From the staffroom.

I'm afraid you're nil by mouth at the moment, Molly.

Well...

Zoe always lets me have a tenner.

For the hostel.

Well, I'm not so sure.

You said yourself - it gets so cold out there.

I think one more night would finish me off.

I knew as soon as I saw you.

He's got kind eyes. Mmm.

He wouldn't let an old lady freeze to death.

How are we doing with obs?

She's more tachycardic and hypotensive than when she came in.

Heart rate 100, BP 109 over 62.

SHE GROANS

Are you in pain?

OK, she has unequal pulses.

Let's titrate 10mg of morphine, please.

It's all right, Molly.

OK, we'll need a chest X-ray, an ECG and an echo.

And let's get BPs in both arms.

Morphine...

SHE CHUCKLES

Hurry!

What's his name?

Hugo.

Hugo?

Oh, not you again.

Remember me, Iain? And Jez?

What happened?

He was climbing up the ladder.

He touched something at the top. There was an explosion, and...

I think it must have shocked him.

Jez, do you want to go and have a look?

And I thought I got into trouble a lot at your age.

Did you fall as well?

Yeah, but I wasn't shocked.

OK.

Have you got any pain in your neck at all?

No, it's my leg.

OK.

Anything, Jez?

Yeah, there's some burnt wires.

All right, listen, we're going to need a second crew

and the fire boys, please.

What?!

Just stay nice and calm for me, all right?

3006 to control, requesting second unit...

Hugo, I'm going to give you pain relief, all right?

I know this is scary,

but I also know a brave lad like you can handle it, yeah?

'Go ahead, over.'

-Jez, can you look after...? Sorry, what's your name?

-Keira.

Keira. Can you take care of Keira, please?

Peace offering.

I'm sorry I snapped this morning.

If ever I seem...impatient with you,

it is only because I want you to get better.

I want you to be able to do the things you want to.

You know that, don't you?

PHONE RINGS

Go on. It's yours, anyway.

Sister Duffin, ED.

Yeah.

OK, and do you have an ETA on that?

Yeah.

All right, thanks.

-DUFFIN HANGS UP PHONE

-Mrs Beauchamp?

It's Grace's friend, Hugo Bonning.

Thanks.

This is Keira Bradley, 26 years old, 25 weeks pregnant.

She took a fall from a height of approximately ten feet.

Neck was cleared at the scene.

GCS 15, BP 100/70,

pulse 100, resps 22, sats 98%.

Pupils are equal and reactive.

Great. Bed one, please.

Hi there. I'm Cal, OK?

-Keira.

-We're just going to slide you across onto the bed, OK?

What happened? Where's Hugo?

The second vehicle was an ECA crew, so Iain stayed with him.

-They're cutting him out.

-Is he OK?

Impalement to his upper thigh.

What? Oh, Cal, you take the lead.

All right. Airway's clear...

This is Connie Beauchamp. I need an ETA on Hugo Bonning.

Right, Hugo, what's going to happen is the firemen are going to

cut the metal so that we can get you into the ambulance, all right?

Hey, one of these days,

you're going to be showing these spikes round at parties.

Is my dad coming?

Yeah, he's on his way.

He's going to meet us at the hospital, all right?

And Grace's mum?

Who, Connie? Yeah, yeah, Connie will be there.

All right? Sit tight. Good lad.

OK, erm...

Molly, you have a thoracic aneurysm in your chest.

That means that the blood vessel carrying blood from your heart

to the other parts of your body has become swollen and stretched.

Now, it looks contained, for the time being,

but it'll need surgery to repair it.

Or?

Or you'll die, I'm afraid.

Oh, I don't think so.

I can assure you, I'm correct.

Erm, can we let Cardiothoracics know, please?

No.

Well, six years of medical school...

No, no, I don't think that's what she means.

No.

No surgery.

Did you understand what I said?

Despite your best efforts over many years to destroy yourself,

you haven't managed it.

I don't know how, but you seem quite strong,

so, with surgery, you stand a good chance.

A good chance at what?

Life?

Well, this doesn't have to be it.

Oh, look at me, honestly,

and give me one good reason to keep going.

Hey, I stole you a few from the staffroom.

-Oh...

-She can't have those, I'm afraid.

I am not having surgery, so I can.

No surgery, and I want it in writing -

I want whatever paperwork you need to do to say this is it.

No machines, no tubes.

When it's time, it's time.

All right, start prepping HTC, then, please.

I'm Jim Bonning, Keira's partner.

Hey, are you OK?

Is the baby OK?

Everything seems fine.

The fall doesn't seem to have hurt Mum or Baby too badly.

-HE EXHALES

-Well, what happened?

Hugo was in the farmyard - he went up a ladder.

Why were you there?

I'd made us breakfast, so...

I couldn't find him.

I just thought he might be playing in there.

You should have stayed at the conference.

Oh, it's not important.

-It

-is

-important.

It really isn't.

GCS 15 throughout, BP maintained at 110 systolic,

-sats now 97% on air...

-Hugo!

He's had 750mls of saline, 10mg of morphine

and we've cleared his neck and back at the scene.

Is he OK?

Just give us some space, all right, Jim?

When you're ready, Hugo, nice and steady,

can you wriggle yourself across, mate?

HUGO GROANS Good lad.

All right, you're doing really well. We're going to look after you.

OK, let's check for burns. I want FBC, Us & Es and CK,

and check urine for myoglobin, please.

Right... Hugo, what have you done here?

-MOLLY GROANS

-There we go. That's it.

Oh...

So, anyway, I went to AA for a while -

you know, I gave them the whole spiel.

Ha!

I said I went - I didn't say it worked.

Well, it's not too late for you to try again.

Oh, you're a good lad.

I appreciate the effort, I do, but you don't understand.

Maybe I understand better than you think.

Ah, well, you all say that, but none of you do, not really.

We're all just patients to you lot.

-We are, aren't we?

-MOLLY CHUCKLES

I'm a patient, too.

Hmm?

I have bipolar.

I do understand.

It's my first day back at work today.

I had a bit of a...

-Well...

-A bit of a what?

I did a lot of silly things.

I let my son down.

I let everyone down.

I know what it's like, wanting everything to just...

stop...

..and how much harder it is to get up and try again.

OK, are you ready to sign this, then?

Oh, I don't have a pen, David.

Maybe I could...have a bit more time to think.

Yup, of course.

Oh...

SHE COUGHS

Only in the muscle, no large vessels or structures involved,

and it missed the femur, so we can remove them from here.

Morphine?

Going in.

OK. Nice deep breaths, Hugo, OK?

What were you doing, climbing all the way up there?

I don't know. Playing.

Playing?!

Do you realise how much danger you've put yourself in?

And not just you...

I know - Keira and the baby.

I didn't mean that. I...

All right, sorry, we're going to need to remove these,

so could you give us a few minutes?

-Yeah.

-Thank you.

OK, Hugo, keep nice and still for me.

HUGO PANTS

Grace was very happy to get her message this morning.

HUGO GROANS

Oh, yeah?

Mm-hmm.

Did you want to speak to me as well about something?

MACHINE BEEPS

No?

Only you sounded a little bit scared.

HE WHIMPERS What were you frightened of?

You know, whatever you tell us,

it's just between us -

we won't tell Keira or your dad.

He'll be OK.

You just concentrate on yourself now and this little one.

SHE GROANS

You're bleeding.

What?

Hey, birthday girl.

How's it going? It's cool, isn't it?

Oh, I see. Someone got birthday cake.

Mum?

You know, she's trying.

She might not be the easiest mum in the world, but...

she is making an effort.

Go easy on her.

Well, I've not had lunch yet, so...

If you don't want it, then I'm just going to...

HE CHUCKLES

What? What is it?

HE SIGHS

Just try and relax for me, OK?

You're 25 weeks, is that right?

-Yeah.

-SHE GASPS

And the pain's getting worse, is it?

Right, I think we might need to talk to Obs and Gynae.

Can I have a word?

Yeah, sure.

She's not going to have a miscarriage, is she?

Er...we don't know that yet.

And at this stage, it wouldn't be a miscarriage -

-it'd be a pre-term labour.

-What, at six months?

Yeah.

The foetus has a reasonable chance of survival outside the womb.

SHE GASPS

It's going to be all right, love.

You stay as calm as you can.

Was it the fall?

Possibly, yes.

What's happening to Keira?

You just concentrate on yourself, OK?

Keira's being looked after.

Is there something wrong with the baby?

Whatever happens, it's not your fault.

Yes, it is.

Is that why you wanted to speak to me this morning?

Sweetheart, you can tell me anything and I will help.

I will protect you.

You know that, don't you?

Connie?

Not now.

A word.

Now.

Grace?

I'll be back in a minute.

Everything OK?

You tried to drug me.

No, sweetheart. You know how important the pills are...

And you think that's the right way to go about things?

-Grace, your voice...

-Get away from me!

Did you know she could talk?

I've always been able to talk.

I just didn't want to talk to you because I hate you.

Well, do you know what, sweetheart?

The feeling is mutual.

Grace?

Whoa...

-Sam!

-Grace!

Can we get some help here, please?

Get a trolley!

Hey, hey, hey, shh-shh.

Keep her still.

Shh...

Grace, Grace, it's OK, it's OK.

Shh...

-WOMAN IN DISTANCE:

-My money's gone and my fags have gone.

Somebody's taken 'em from my handbag.

I went off to the toilet I come back and they'd gone.

Well, I want you to call the police.

Well of course, if it HAS been stolen,

I've got absolutely no problem in phoning the police at all.

In the meantime, I will inform security.

Could you just wait here, please? Thank you.

-What happened?

-NOEL SIGHS

The lady's saying that some cash has gone missing from her purse.

-How much?

-A fiver and a packet of fags.

Oh, Dr Keogh, have you seen Molly?

-She discharged herself about ten minutes ago.

-Oh.

She signed the DNR, by the way.

HE SIGHS

Right, you have ten biscuits. I take three-fifths of your biscuits.

How many did I take?

What sort of biscuits are they?

Digestives.

Ugh. You can have 'em all, then.

Six.

I have six.

Do it again.

Lily? Would you mind taking a look at Charlie?

What's happened?

She's really unsettled. I don't know what's wrong with her.

CHARLIE CRIES

I think she's just doing what babies do.

Dr Chao?

Robyn, is there anything I can do to help?

-No, we're fine, thanks.

-She doesn't need any help from you.

I'm...really sorry about what happened.

Just leave it, OK?

Can't you see she's worried about the baby?

And you've already put her in danger once, so...

-I'm... I'm sorry.

-Max...

-This is the last person she needs.

-All right, all right. That's enough.

Is it? He shouldn't even be here.

Come on.

You don't talk about any of my nurses like that, you hear?

No, no, Charlie... Charlie, don't.

I...

SAM SIGHS

It's OK.

It'll be all right.

It'll be all right.

You coming in or are you just going to stand there?

You're both so damning of me.

You take her for a while, then.

Fine.

OK, I'll bring her stuff over later.

Bleeding is easing a little.

There's no sign of any serious PV haemorrhage.

It's OK, everything's going to be fine.

Please stop saying that.

I need some time on my own.

-What?

-Please.

Just go.

Jim, why don't you come with me for a bit?

I don't understand.

Look, it's been a stressful morning. I think she just...

needs some rest.

-But she needs me here!

-Please, just get out.

Come on.

What's going on? What's wrong with her?

Just...

give her a few minutes, OK?

-HUGO:

-Dad?

What's happening to Keira?

What did you say to her?

This morning.

Look, I'm not going to be angry with you, Hugo.

I just need you to tell me what you said.

Mr Bonning, please...

I'm sorry, Dad.

-What did you say?!

-Hey!

Whoa, whoa, hang on, that's enough.

That's enough.

Hugo's clearly very upset, all right?

He just needs a little bit of love and a little bit of support.

I know. I didn't mean to scare him.

It's just...

he's been saying hurtful things to Keira.

Like what?

Saying that she'll never be as good a mum as his was.

I know that she'll never replace Hugo's mum, but...

I thought that we...

We have a new kind of family.

I'm starting to realise that might not be possible.

Well, do you know what?

You can't force him to love Keira the way you do.

He's obviously still very angry about his mother's death.

He just needs time.

I've tried.

But the baby's coming - we don't have any more time.

HE SIGHS

I'm just so tired.

Dad?

What are you talking about?

Hugo, get back into bed. Come on.

Oh, Hugo... Let's get him into bed.

Sweetheart, what's going on?

You all right?

Hugo, talk to me.

His heart's racing.

Get the bed down.

Hugo, talk to me, darling.

SIREN WAILS

BABY CRIES

Come on.

SHE SIGHS Come on.

Please stop crying.

Come on, baby girl, please, please stop crying.

BABY CRIES Shh.

Come on.

-Shh.

-Nothing wrong with her lungs, is there?

MOLLY CHUCKLES

MOLLY COUGHS

My mother used to put a drop of gin in my bottle.

Sent me straight off, apparently.

SHE CHUCKLES

No wonder I got a taste for it.

OK. Thanks.

Or, erm...

you could try holding her against your chest.

Let her hear your heartbeat, yeah?

But of course that only works if your heart's not going like mad.

Here.

Sit down, love, eh? Come on.

Try and calm down.

Take a few good breaths.

ROBYN BREATHES DEEPLY

Now...

hold her against your chest like that.

CHARLIE STOPS CRYING

There we go.

ROBYN CHUCKLES

-It's working.

-Yeah.

Well, it's not rocket science, love.

If you're calm, she'll keep calm, too.

-Her name's Charlotte.

-Oh, yeah?

-Charlie.

Nice.

Hello, Charlie.

Ahh...

You can hold her if you like.

Me?

Are you sure?

Yeah. Come on.

There we go.

Hiya, love.

It's your Auntie Molly.

MOLLY SIGHS AND SNIFFS

Pulse 180, he's in SVT. Let's have 4mg of adenosine, please.

OK, it's 104/60.

Ah, Hugo, your heart is going a little fast, isn't it?

What's happening? What's wrong with him?

The electrocution has sent his heart into an abnormal rhythm.

We're going to give him some adenosine to slow his heart down.

Adenosine 4mg, great.

We're going to give you a drug now to help slow your heart down.

It's not going to feel very nice, but it's only for a little while.

All right?

All right, little man.

It's going to be OK.

OK.

All right...

Not long now.

He's back in sinus, all right.

-Let's repeat the 12-lead ECG and check his BP, please.

-All right.

It's OK, sweetheart. I'm not going anywhere.

I stole a fiver from the woman in the next bed.

And a packet of fags.

I know.

Now, you asked me for one good reason to keep going.

SHE SIGHS

I saw you with Robyn.

SHE SIGHS

You're still trying to convince me to have that surgery,

as if it's some sort of miracle cure.

No.

No.

They don't exist.

-Eh...

-Not for people like us.

SHE CHUCKLES

What it COULD give you is the chance to wake up tomorrow...

and have one last try.

SHE GASPS

Molly?

Molly? Can I have some help here, please?

Molly, it's not too late to change your mind about the DNR.

All you have to say is "OK."

SHE MOANS

SHE MUTTERS

What?

-OK.

-OK?

-Yeah.

-OK.

OK, good, come on.

OK, let's go.

OK. Right, BP is 88 over 55, heart rate 120, she's shocked...

I think the aneurysm's expanding.

She's agreed to the surgery.

-What?

-Shall I call Cardiothoracics?

No, no, no, no, no, hang on, slow down, slow down.

Let's keep her pain under control. Just keep her comfortable.

Well, er, yes, but, erm...

Well... No, we have a patient here, a very poorly patient,

who has a legally binding document clearly stating her wishes. Now...

Tell me, what exactly did she say? Did she sign anything?

No, no, not exactly.

But she has now changed her mind.

Yeah, so you say, but...

You don't believe me.

-No, I didn't say that.

-No, I know when people think I'm lying.

I just didn't think you'd be one of them.

No, I don't think you're lying. I just...

I know that you want to save a patient's life.

Yeah, not like this.

I wouldn't. I swear.

Well, she might not survive the surgery, anyway.

Yes, but we've got to give her that chance.

MOLLY SNIFFS AND GROANS

SHE COUGHS

She's deteriorating.

SHE COUGHS

Well, I suppose we can't let you be the man who let Molly die

on your first day back at work, can we?

OK, er...yeah.

Call Ms Effanga, let her know the plans have changed, all right?

MOLLY GROANS

I'd recognise the sound of those Louboutins anywhere.

You on this thoracic aortic aneurysm?

No, Mo. That's Dr Keogh.

-Thought you'd be all over that.

-Nah.

Ms Effanga?

She's in here.

Thanks.

MOLLY COUGHS

-Is she...?

-David.

Well, she is a very sick lady.

With that CT scan, I think it's worth a shot.

How long until we can get her upstairs?

Er...about three minutes.

Come on then, handsome.

-MOLLY:

-Hey.

If I die...

I'm coming back to haunt you.

Right.

Please don't let her die.

Tough old birds like her don't die easily.

You all right?

Earlier,

you said it was your fault, what happened to Keira.

Now, I know there's a bit of tension between you two

and now your dad says you've said something to her.

And I'm worried about you

because when you called this morning, you sounded scared.

Why?

It's my fault.

Why she did it.

Why she did what?

I told her she'd be a bad mum.

-SHE SIGHS

-That's why she took the pills.

This is really important, Hugo. What pills did she take?

In my hoodie.

Your hoodie.

I think she got them online.

I Googled them.

And she found out you knew.

Is that why you ran away?

She didn't want me to tell Dad.

Sweetheart, it's OK.

It's OK, you did well.

All right?

Alicia.

I found out she's been taking abortion pills. Bought online.

-At 25 weeks?

-Mm.

Keira...

..I know about the pills you took.

It's OK.

It's OK, but you have got to let us help you.

There's something wrong with me.

I'm abnormal.

I promise you you're not.

You're not.

OK, it's looking good.

Graft's in place.

Cross clamps are off.

Suture line's holding.

OK, let's get the heart restarted.

I kept waiting for the maternal feelings to come, kept...

expecting to feel that glow, but it just...

never came.

It just feels like I've got an alien inside me.

I just wanted to get it out.

What kind of mother feels like that about her own baby?

People think motherhood comes naturally...

..but for many, many women, that's just not their experience.

Have you heard of prenatal depression?

No?

Lots of people know about the baby blues...

..but few realise that for a lot of women,

they suffer depression during their pregnancy.

So you're not abnormal, Keira.

And it's something we can help you with

and I promise you, you will get through it.

OK?

This has nothing to do with Hugo.

I think you should talk to her.

OK.

THEY LAUGH

Erm...

How come you haven't left yet?

You're going to need a shower before we go

and I'm not ironing your shirt for you.

I know, I'm sorry. It's, er...

It's been a long shift.

Yeah, it's been a long, er...

I'm just going to stand over here, OK?

Listen, erm...

I think I'm going to have an early one tonight.

-No, but we...

-Louise...

I'll call you tomorrow, OK?

Tomorrow morning. I'm really sorry, though.

Read chapter four to seven by tomorrow.

What?!

That's, like...

30 pages. I can't concentrate.

You're a bright girl. You can do it.

Drink plenty of water and have some oily fish.

Don't suppose fish and chips counts, does it?

Come on, my treat. We can talk about... I-so...

Isosceles triangles.

Ooh, get you!

Alicia. So, I've been stood up in favour of an early night.

What?!

Oh, come on, let's drink gin and talk about how rubbish men are.

Ethan, we're going to go to the pub for a drink, if you want to...

Oh...

Er... I'd better not.

She's asleep.

Well, rest is what she needs.

I'm referring her to a specialist psychiatric service.

She's going to need a lot of support.

And so is Hugo.

To keep that secret...

..he must have been so scared.

-Hmm.

-I've, er...

I've already spoken to work, arranged to take some time off,

so I can look after them both.

OK, but even with time off work...

..it's going to be a lot to manage.

Dad?

-Hey.

-Ahh...

Back into bed, you.

Maybe I could go to Auntie Rachel's for a few days.

I'm not having you that far away, son, missing school.

Maybe you should stay with me.

Maybe I could stay with Grace, then?

Mrs Beauchamp's much too busy.

Connie could help me with my biology project.

Oh...

I don't know about that, but...

Please?

Well, er...

I suppose if Mrs Beauchamp wouldn't mind.

And if it was just for a few days...

Erm...

Yes, OK.

Are you sure?

Yes, yes, fine. If it will help, yeah.

I appreciate that.

Thank you.

Can we have waffles?

Yes.

I'm sure we can manage that.

David?

Erm...that was Ms Effanga on the phone.

Molly came through the surgery, so well done.

She might have died if it hadn't been for you.

David...

..would you like to hold her?

Hello.

Hello!

Hello!

JACOB CHUCKLES

I think this must have dropped out of your bag.

Welcome back, mate.

I'm going to stay with him, OK?

Thank you.
