0:00:02 > 0:00:04- I asked you not to be late.- We're up to our eyeballs.- Join the club.
0:00:04 > 0:00:06I was going to check her blood pressure when Diane came in...
0:00:06 > 0:00:08I got distracted.
0:00:08 > 0:00:10- Tell me what's going on. - I'm a childminder.
0:00:10 > 0:00:13- She's a surrogate for two lads I clean for.- Mum!
0:00:13 > 0:00:17We need to try and stop the flow of blood from one twin to the other.
0:00:17 > 0:00:19- I sorted moving back with my parents!- I don't want to live with
0:00:19 > 0:00:21your parents, Simon! We're grown-ups!
0:00:21 > 0:00:25# Thinking, what a wonderful world
0:00:26 > 0:00:27# Yeah
0:00:27 > 0:00:30# Thinking, what a wonderful world
0:00:30 > 0:00:32# Ooh, ooh
0:00:35 > 0:00:39# Watching as the colours light the Earth
0:00:39 > 0:00:41# Thinking, what a wonderful world
0:00:43 > 0:00:44# Yeah
0:00:44 > 0:00:47# Thinking, what a wonderful world
0:00:47 > 0:00:50# Hee, hee
0:00:52 > 0:00:55# Ooh, ooh-ooh. #
0:01:04 > 0:01:08'Well, all my friends that had their babies at the same time as me
0:01:08 > 0:01:11'have either gone back to work or are looking for work.'
0:01:11 > 0:01:13FOOTSTEPS
0:01:13 > 0:01:16Got to go. I'll be late. Got a meeting after work,
0:01:16 > 0:01:18but I'll pick up a take-away on the way home. My treat.
0:01:18 > 0:01:22- There's that new place on King Lane. - OK. Cool. Yeah. Good idea.
0:01:22 > 0:01:25Be back about seven. God, you look gorgeous.
0:01:25 > 0:01:27Maybe I could just stay and...
0:01:27 > 0:01:28Go, or you'll be late.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32Bye, beautiful.
0:01:32 > 0:01:33Love you.
0:01:33 > 0:01:34Love you, too.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42It does get a bit lonely, staying at home all day with a ten-month-old.
0:01:44 > 0:01:47And sometimes, I think I'd quite like to go back to work.
0:01:48 > 0:01:50'My maternity allowance finished last week
0:01:50 > 0:01:53'and I don't know what I'm going to do.
0:01:53 > 0:01:57'Neil is sweet, but I don't like asking him for money all the time.
0:01:57 > 0:02:00'I've already dipped into my savings.'
0:02:00 > 0:02:04So, I have two weeks to decide if I'm going back or not
0:02:04 > 0:02:06and I'm supposed to let them know.
0:02:06 > 0:02:09I'm a teaching assistant and I kind of enjoyed it when I was there.
0:02:09 > 0:02:10CHILDREN ARGUE
0:02:10 > 0:02:15'Problem is, I really don't think I am going to be able to leave Emily.'
0:02:15 > 0:02:16KNOCKING
0:02:16 > 0:02:18'I'm thinking of asking Diane if she's got a spare place.'
0:02:18 > 0:02:19Careful!
0:02:19 > 0:02:22CHILDREN CONTINUE TO ARGUE
0:02:23 > 0:02:26- Hiya.- What are you doing here? - I'm really sorry, but my mum
0:02:26 > 0:02:30is looking after my sister's kids, with it being the school holidays.
0:02:30 > 0:02:33She's got to take my gran to the chiropodist, so can't manage Ben,
0:02:33 > 0:02:34as well. I'm really stuck.
0:02:34 > 0:02:36SHOUTING
0:02:36 > 0:02:39- Ellie, be careful!- I will! - Erm...nappies and change of clothes?
0:02:39 > 0:02:41All in his bag.
0:02:41 > 0:02:45Oh, thanks, Diane. You're a life-saver, honestly!
0:02:45 > 0:02:48You are. I didn't know what to do! I know you've got your hands full
0:02:48 > 0:02:52- with the kids being at home and... - Has he had his breakfast?- Yes.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55- He's fed and watered.- Come on, love, finish your Coco Pops.
0:02:55 > 0:02:56There's a good girl.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59Listen, erm...I wanted to say that
0:02:59 > 0:03:01I'm really sorry about being late last time.
0:03:01 > 0:03:03It won't happen again.
0:03:03 > 0:03:07- Did you manage to pick Rick up? - No, she didn't. Dev did.
0:03:07 > 0:03:10- You all right?- Oh, hello! I didn't expect to see you!
0:03:10 > 0:03:12Well, I live here, got nowhere else to go(!)
0:03:12 > 0:03:16- Oh, it's lovely to see you.- He has to take Hope for an assessment
0:03:16 > 0:03:20- this morning.- Yeah, so I'd better get on. Listen, what number do
0:03:20 > 0:03:22- whites go on?- Eh, three, but don't put any bleach
0:03:22 > 0:03:23or fabric conditioner in.
0:03:23 > 0:03:26- Are the twins in the other room? - Yeah. They were getting all grizzly,
0:03:26 > 0:03:30- so I put them down for a nap. - It's not time for their nap, Rick,
0:03:30 > 0:03:33- and you'll have to wake up Hope, cos you have to leave soon.- All right!
0:03:33 > 0:03:36- I'll stick to the routine.- It's not a routine, otherwise, is it?!
0:03:36 > 0:03:37He just doesn't get it.
0:03:37 > 0:03:39Are you all right?
0:03:39 > 0:03:41I didn't sleep a wink last night.
0:03:41 > 0:03:44Every time Hope has an assessment, I just expect bad news.
0:03:44 > 0:03:46Why? She's doing really well.
0:03:46 > 0:03:49- But she's behind all the other babies.- So what?
0:03:49 > 0:03:52But I've read stuff on the internet and Kim's blog.
0:03:52 > 0:03:53Emily's doing so well.
0:03:53 > 0:03:57Honestly, Diane, don't read it. Most prems turn out fine.
0:03:57 > 0:03:59Hope is doing really well.
0:03:59 > 0:04:02I know it sounds stupid, but the other day, I was wondering
0:04:02 > 0:04:05- if she could hear me properly. - If you have any worries,
0:04:05 > 0:04:08now is the time to talk to the doctor about it.
0:04:08 > 0:04:11- Right, I'll put my shirt on and wake Hope up.- This assessment's as much for you
0:04:11 > 0:04:14as it is for Hope, to put your mind at rest. So, stop worrying.
0:04:14 > 0:04:17I...brought you money.
0:04:17 > 0:04:20- Listen, I'm sorry for... - No, honestly, it was all my fault.
0:04:20 > 0:04:24I should have left when I was going to and everything would have been,
0:04:24 > 0:04:26I don't know...much better.
0:04:26 > 0:04:28BABY GURGLES
0:04:28 > 0:04:31- Do you want to go to Diane? - Go on.- Eh!- There you go.
0:04:31 > 0:04:34- I'm going to see Rosie and her new baby now.- How is she?
0:04:34 > 0:04:37Yeah, great. Just takes everything in her stride.
0:04:37 > 0:04:41The baby's umbilical's had an infection, so I'm just going
0:04:41 > 0:04:43- to check that it's healed. - Give her my love.- I will.
0:04:43 > 0:04:46Bye, gorgeous, you be a good boy for your Auntie Diane. OK?
0:04:46 > 0:04:48- See you later.- See you later.
0:04:48 > 0:04:49Bye-bye, darling.
0:04:49 > 0:04:51Bye-bye.
0:04:51 > 0:04:53Right, then, what shall we do today?
0:04:53 > 0:04:56Shall we do some finger painting with Ellie and Sam?
0:04:56 > 0:04:58Yeah? How about you?
0:05:00 > 0:05:01Yeah?
0:05:02 > 0:05:06'I don't think I'd trust anybody other than Diane to look after her.'
0:05:06 > 0:05:09And you're doing so well with your flash cards, aren't you?
0:05:09 > 0:05:14You can say six words now. Come on, darling, what's this?
0:05:14 > 0:05:15Say it for Mummy.
0:05:15 > 0:05:17Come on, Emily. B-b-b...
0:05:17 > 0:05:20Bowl. Bowl.
0:05:20 > 0:05:21EMILY GURGLES
0:05:23 > 0:05:24Oh, you're so clever!
0:05:29 > 0:05:33'I remember Roanna saying to me, "Blink and they're grown up."
0:05:35 > 0:05:38'I don't want to look back and think I missed any stage
0:05:38 > 0:05:41'of her growing up. That's all for now.
0:05:41 > 0:05:42'Post me a comment.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45'Tell me if you'll be a stay-at-home mum or go back to work.'
0:05:52 > 0:05:57- There we go!- Oh, you look lovely! That colour really suits you.
0:05:57 > 0:06:00- Thanks, darling. - Is it another interview?- No, no.
0:06:00 > 0:06:02It's my oldest son. He's struggling at uni.
0:06:02 > 0:06:05Thinks he's made the wrong degree choices. I just need to talk to him
0:06:05 > 0:06:08- and make sure he's not making a mistake.- We had all that with Simon.
0:06:08 > 0:06:09It was awful!
0:06:09 > 0:06:11He hated medicine.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14His father insisted he had to finish his training.
0:06:14 > 0:06:18- He was really miserable about it. - Kyle's only in his first year,
0:06:18 > 0:06:21so if he's not happy, we don't mind cutting our losses.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23Well, go and sort it out. Don't you worry.
0:06:23 > 0:06:25BABY CRIES
0:06:25 > 0:06:28It's all right. I won't be long. Stay with Granny.
0:06:28 > 0:06:31We'll go to the park, go and feed the ducks.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33- Bye, darling.- Bye, sweetheart.
0:06:33 > 0:06:37It's all right! Ooh, what's that?!
0:06:37 > 0:06:40You're going to have hurry up or you'll be late. Her bag's all ready.
0:06:40 > 0:06:43Red book's in front pocket and can you remember to ask about her hearing?
0:06:43 > 0:06:46- Her hearing's fine, love. - Can you just mention it?
0:06:46 > 0:06:48She's either ignoring me or can't hear me properly.
0:06:48 > 0:06:52- She sleeps with her eyes half-open. It's really freaky.- That as well.
0:06:52 > 0:06:55We checked that on the internet. It's nothing to worry about.
0:06:55 > 0:06:57I know, but can you just mention it, just to be safe?
0:06:57 > 0:07:00- All right, I'll try and remember. - And she has this funny shudder.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03I don't know if it's normal, but can you just ask about it?
0:07:03 > 0:07:06And she is definitely smaller than all the other babies her age.
0:07:06 > 0:07:09- Can you ask him when she'll catch up?- I'll not remember all this!
0:07:09 > 0:07:12This is bloody stupid. If you want to ask questions, you take Hope
0:07:12 > 0:07:15- and I'll stay here. - I can't do that.- Why not?
0:07:15 > 0:07:18You'll be back in two hours, with all your questions answered.
0:07:18 > 0:07:19It makes sense.
0:07:19 > 0:07:24Sam and Ellie are here to help me out. Go and put your mind at rest.
0:07:26 > 0:07:29- I'll look after her and help Dad. - Exactly.
0:07:34 > 0:07:36Right. All right. I'll be as quick as I can.
0:07:36 > 0:07:39- Emergency contact numbers are on the fridge door...- Fine.
0:07:39 > 0:07:43- Er... Be good for your dad. I love you all.- All right. Go on.
0:07:43 > 0:07:48- See you in a bit.- See you! - Right...can you build me a house?
0:07:48 > 0:07:50A nice big house that I could sleep in.
0:07:50 > 0:07:53Go on! Let's see what you can build me, then.
0:08:08 > 0:08:10Thanks very much. Thank you.
0:08:28 > 0:08:30- Hi.- Thought you weren't coming.
0:08:30 > 0:08:33Sorry, I had to wait for a cab. Simon needed the car.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36- Why doesn't he buy his own car? - Ray...- Sorry.
0:08:36 > 0:08:38I missed you.
0:08:50 > 0:08:53- Where did you arrange to meet? - I said I'd ring as soon
0:08:53 > 0:08:56- as we hit Manchester. - Shall we go, then?
0:08:59 > 0:09:02- Dreamt about you last night. - Meeting Tuesday, then?
0:09:04 > 0:09:05It was a lovely dream.
0:09:07 > 0:09:09I was really disappointed when I woke up.
0:09:09 > 0:09:10SHE LAUGHS
0:09:13 > 0:09:15- Do you want to know what we were doing?- No.
0:09:15 > 0:09:18I'd rather leave it to the imagination. Just drive.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26That's settled down nicely now.
0:09:26 > 0:09:29She's going to have a nice flat tummy button.
0:09:29 > 0:09:30Great.
0:09:32 > 0:09:33There we are.
0:09:35 > 0:09:38- So, have you registered the birth? - Eh, yeah. Jude did it.
0:09:38 > 0:09:40We've called her Davina.
0:09:40 > 0:09:42Aw, after Davina McCall?
0:09:42 > 0:09:46No, after me dad. She was going to be called David, if she were a boy,
0:09:46 > 0:09:49- so...- How is he? - He's in sheltered housing now
0:09:49 > 0:09:52- and he's got a warden.- Is it nice? - Don't know. Not been to see it.
0:09:52 > 0:09:57- Are they going to let you keep this flat?- Well, where else
0:09:57 > 0:10:00are we going to go? Kim and Neil have put our name down
0:10:00 > 0:10:03- for a council house with a garden. - Are you managing all right
0:10:03 > 0:10:06- in the meantime?- We get family tax credit and Jude's wage, so...
0:10:06 > 0:10:09That can't be very much. I'll have a word with Louise,
0:10:09 > 0:10:13see if she can get you anything else. Look, the flat's a bit
0:10:13 > 0:10:15of a mess, Rosie. You've got a knife on the floor there.
0:10:15 > 0:10:18She could hurt herself if she crawled on that.
0:10:18 > 0:10:20I were just going to tidy up before you knocked.
0:10:20 > 0:10:24- I'll do it when you've gone.- And are you getting dressed, love?- Yeah.
0:10:24 > 0:10:27I forgot to turn the immersion heater on last night
0:10:27 > 0:10:30and there wasn't any hot water this morning to get a wash.
0:10:30 > 0:10:33- You haven't got much in the fridge. - Shop's due this afternoon.
0:10:33 > 0:10:35Do you get it delivered?
0:10:35 > 0:10:40Yeah, I get to use my vouchers and it saves me from using the steps.
0:10:40 > 0:10:43Not getting in that lift ever again.
0:10:43 > 0:10:47But it's working all right now. It's fine. It's important that you
0:10:47 > 0:10:49get out and get some exercise.
0:10:49 > 0:10:53- Well, I'm always running around after Dinah.- I know that, love,
0:10:53 > 0:10:58but it's important that Dinah and the baby get some fresh air, too.
0:11:04 > 0:11:06OK, now, look. Shall we build this up?
0:11:06 > 0:11:08We go...one right there.
0:11:08 > 0:11:11And build it. Yeah! You want to build it, don't you?
0:11:11 > 0:11:14We'll build this really high, like that.
0:11:14 > 0:11:15Oh!
0:11:15 > 0:11:18Where's it gone?
0:11:18 > 0:11:19Where's it gone?
0:11:19 > 0:11:22Did you see that? Will we do it one more time?
0:11:22 > 0:11:25Mia's done six paintings. Mum puts them on the windowsill to dry.
0:11:25 > 0:11:28All right, love. We'll build this up again, like that.
0:11:28 > 0:11:30Make a tall one - a really tall one.
0:11:30 > 0:11:32Oh, it's going to fall, it's going to fall!
0:11:32 > 0:11:34It's going to fall!
0:11:34 > 0:11:37- Argh! It's gone again! - I've washed Mia's hands.
0:11:37 > 0:11:40- Can she play upstairs with us now? - Does your Mum let her do that?
0:11:40 > 0:11:44- Yeah, and it's raining outside.- All right, love. just keep an eye on her
0:11:44 > 0:11:46- for me, will you?- Mm-hm. - Cheers, Ells. OK, right.
0:11:46 > 0:11:49We are going to build a different one, this time.
0:11:49 > 0:11:52This is a special one, right? Yeah? Can you knock this one down?
0:11:58 > 0:12:00LOUD GROANING
0:12:00 > 0:12:01Is she all right?
0:12:01 > 0:12:03I think it's started.
0:12:03 > 0:12:06Oh, don't worry, love. This time tomorrow, it will all be over.
0:12:06 > 0:12:09It's not passing, Mam, it's getting worse.
0:12:09 > 0:12:12- Just take some deep breaths. - Once they get you upstairs,
0:12:12 > 0:12:15they'll give you some gas and air and you won't know what day it is!
0:12:15 > 0:12:18I'm having an epidural. I hope they have it all ready for me.
0:12:18 > 0:12:20And make sure you get Vicky to deliver for you.
0:12:20 > 0:12:23- Which is Vicky? - Blonde, 30, really pretty.
0:12:23 > 0:12:27I don't like her. Someone died when she were looking after them.
0:12:27 > 0:12:30- I'm not having her!- Shelly! - You must have got that wrong.
0:12:30 > 0:12:32I don't care. I don't want her anywhere near me.
0:12:32 > 0:12:35Oh, God, don't tell me it gets worse than this.
0:12:35 > 0:12:38Don't think it could've been Vicky. I'd have known. When did it happen?
0:12:38 > 0:12:40THEY LAUGH
0:12:44 > 0:12:46Watch this.
0:12:49 > 0:12:51Let me try.
0:12:53 > 0:12:54Stop it!
0:12:54 > 0:12:56Leave me alone!
0:12:57 > 0:12:59Leave me alone!
0:13:01 > 0:13:03Me, next!
0:13:03 > 0:13:05OTHERS CONTINUE ARGUING
0:13:07 > 0:13:09Hope Manning, for Dr Raymond, please.
0:13:09 > 0:13:12Sorry, we are running late this morning, so you might be in for
0:13:12 > 0:13:13- a bit of a wait.- Yeah, OK.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18Here we go.
0:13:20 > 0:13:23So, your waters aren't broken and you haven't had a show?
0:13:23 > 0:13:25- A show of what?- Blood, or...?
0:13:25 > 0:13:28No, nothing like that. Just bloody agony.
0:13:28 > 0:13:30You're definitely in labour. You're nearly 6cm dilated,
0:13:30 > 0:13:34- so you're well on your way. - Well done, love!- Oh, shit, I think
0:13:34 > 0:13:37- I've got another one coming. - All right.- They seem to be about
0:13:37 > 0:13:40every five minutes, so it's all going as it should.
0:13:40 > 0:13:42I don't know if it's going to come out of here.
0:13:42 > 0:13:43I just can't see it happening.
0:13:43 > 0:13:46Should have thought of that before you agreed to it going in!
0:13:46 > 0:13:49Don't worry, love. Let nature take its course.
0:13:49 > 0:13:52I said I wanted an epidural on my birthing plan.
0:13:52 > 0:13:55OK, sweetheart, I'll get that organised.
0:13:55 > 0:13:57Oh, God, how many more of these am I going to have?!
0:13:57 > 0:14:00- Quite a few, love. - As soon as this one subsides,
0:14:00 > 0:14:03- I am going to check the baby's heart rate.- He's not the one in pain!
0:14:03 > 0:14:07No, but he is the star of the show, so let's make sure he's happy
0:14:07 > 0:14:10- in there.- It's going to be all right. Just squeeze my hand.
0:14:10 > 0:14:11SHELLY GROANS
0:14:11 > 0:14:13- Do you want me to ring the lads? - Oh, God, what for?!
0:14:13 > 0:14:17- Last thing I need is them two flapping about!- But you promised
0:14:17 > 0:14:20- that you'd call 'em.- Argh!- Oh, Shell, you're breaking my hand!
0:14:20 > 0:14:23- Everything all right?- Yeah, can you get me some diamorphine?
0:14:23 > 0:14:25Shelly wants an epidural. Let the anesthetist know
0:14:25 > 0:14:28- that she has got another labour on the list.- I'll get Mica on it.
0:14:28 > 0:14:30I've been summoned. Got to see Cranfield again.
0:14:30 > 0:14:32He wants to see me an' all. I told him we were too busy.
0:14:32 > 0:14:35I said it would have to be later. It's crazy out there.
0:14:35 > 0:14:37Mica is in delivery room three. You'll have to ring Sonia.
0:14:37 > 0:14:40And get back here as soon as you can, cos we need you here.
0:14:40 > 0:14:43- Vicky, don't worry, love, it'll be all right.- Thanks.
0:14:45 > 0:14:48- I don't want her looking after me. - Vicky? She's a brilliant midwife.
0:14:48 > 0:14:52You and your baby couldn't be in better hands.
0:15:02 > 0:15:04Shall we knock it down? Are you ready? Whoo!
0:15:04 > 0:15:06It's gone again! Where's it gone?
0:15:12 > 0:15:15That was a big one. I think we should build it bigger and taller.
0:15:15 > 0:15:16What do you think?
0:15:16 > 0:15:17DULL THUD
0:15:17 > 0:15:18What's going on?!
0:15:18 > 0:15:20CHILD CRYING
0:15:20 > 0:15:22Shall we build it again? Ellie?!
0:15:22 > 0:15:23FOOTSTEPS ON STAIRS
0:15:23 > 0:15:26- What's happened?- She fell off the bed and she's hurt her arm.
0:15:26 > 0:15:30- Christ! I told you to watch her!- I'm sorry. I don't know what happened.
0:15:30 > 0:15:31Are you OK?
0:15:31 > 0:15:32SHE WEEPS
0:15:32 > 0:15:35OK, OK, darling. I know it hurts. Let me just... Can I just feel it?
0:15:35 > 0:15:37OK, OK...
0:15:42 > 0:15:43(Oh, shit.)
0:15:43 > 0:15:46OK, OK, OK...
0:15:47 > 0:15:49It's OK. OK, I've got you.
0:15:52 > 0:15:55- Hope Manning?- Yeah. - If you'd just like to come through,
0:15:55 > 0:15:59- then we can make a start on your pre-assessment.- Yeah.
0:16:02 > 0:16:07OK, let me just put this... I know it hurts. It's OK. OK, darling.
0:16:07 > 0:16:09- Let me just... - Chocolate biscuit, your favourite.
0:16:09 > 0:16:12Don't give her a biscuit! She might need an operation.
0:16:12 > 0:16:14- Is it broken?- I don't know.
0:16:14 > 0:16:16Just don't give her anything. Sam, pass me the phone.
0:16:16 > 0:16:18I need the phone. Pass it to me.
0:16:20 > 0:16:22Don't give her nowt to eat.
0:16:22 > 0:16:23All right, all right.
0:16:23 > 0:16:24OK, OK, I'm sorry.
0:16:24 > 0:16:26I know, I know, I know. Just hold it there.
0:16:26 > 0:16:28Ellie, just support that.
0:16:28 > 0:16:30Thank you. Look after these two.
0:16:30 > 0:16:32OLDER CHILDREN START ARGUING
0:16:32 > 0:16:36- 'Hi, this is Diane. Leave a message...'- Shit!
0:16:36 > 0:16:39She's a lot smaller than her brother and some of my friends'
0:16:39 > 0:16:42babies that are roughly the same age.
0:16:42 > 0:16:44Right, well, the doctor will talk it through with you.
0:16:44 > 0:16:48- Seems a very happy little soul. - Yeah, I worry about that, as well.
0:16:48 > 0:16:52- Is she crawling or...?- No, she just shuffles along on her bottom,
0:16:52 > 0:16:55- but she doesn't pull herself up like her twin brother does.- OK.
0:16:55 > 0:16:59If you just want to get her dressed. I'm so sorry, you might have
0:16:59 > 0:17:00a bit more of a wait.
0:17:02 > 0:17:06- Yeah, I will do. - Wait for me. Listen.
0:17:06 > 0:17:08- You'll ring me as soon as you've had the scan?- Yes!
0:17:08 > 0:17:11- Are they going to be taking blood again?- I don't know.- If they do,
0:17:11 > 0:17:15tell them to be more gentle. You had a big bruise last time.
0:17:15 > 0:17:17Go back inside. She's getting cold.
0:17:17 > 0:17:22Get that van opened, will you? Pair of them are doing my head in.
0:17:22 > 0:17:27- Have you told them to go home yet? - Yeah.- Such a liar, Dev Sidhwa.
0:17:27 > 0:17:31- I'm going to do it.- You keep saying that and doing sod all about it.
0:17:31 > 0:17:34Telling me what to wear, what to eat.
0:17:34 > 0:17:36Your mam said I shouldn't be eating pickled gherkins.
0:17:36 > 0:17:38Now, I've started craving them.
0:17:38 > 0:17:41She's just worried about twins, that's all. They both are.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44Right, let's do it.
0:17:51 > 0:17:53Why don't you just admit it? You're bloody terrified of them.
0:17:53 > 0:17:57I'm not terrified of them... Just a bit frightened.
0:17:59 > 0:18:01PHONE RINGS
0:18:01 > 0:18:02Oh, don't answer it.
0:18:02 > 0:18:04No, it's... It's Rick.
0:18:04 > 0:18:07- Leave it!- I'll answer it now, so I don't have to ring him back.
0:18:07 > 0:18:09Dev! God give me strength!
0:18:09 > 0:18:13Eh, Rick, mate. Hiya. We're just on the way to Jas's check-up.
0:18:13 > 0:18:14Can I talk later?
0:18:14 > 0:18:17Mate... Mate, what's all that noise?
0:18:17 > 0:18:20I've rung Diane, she's not picking up her phone.
0:18:20 > 0:18:23I don't know what to do. Seriously, I need to get her arm looked at
0:18:23 > 0:18:26by a doctor or at hospital. I've got no wheels.
0:18:26 > 0:18:27Can you help me out?
0:18:27 > 0:18:28Shit!
0:18:28 > 0:18:30PAINED CRYING
0:18:32 > 0:18:34How many times do I have to tell you?
0:18:34 > 0:18:36- He's nothing but trouble. - He's me mate, Jas.
0:18:36 > 0:18:39What do you want me to do? Leave some kid with a broken arm?
0:18:39 > 0:18:43Bet she hasn't really broken it. And where's Diane?
0:18:44 > 0:18:47Put that in there so we're all ready
0:18:47 > 0:18:49for when the doctor comes and calls, yeah?
0:18:49 > 0:18:51Yeah, we're ready.
0:18:53 > 0:18:56Are you warm enough? I know it hurts. I know. It's OK.
0:18:56 > 0:18:58Where is he?!
0:19:01 > 0:19:04Got enough problems of our own, Dev. We just drop them off and head
0:19:04 > 0:19:08- straight to Maternity, right?- Right. - I mean it, Dev!
0:19:08 > 0:19:10I'm totally stressing out.
0:19:10 > 0:19:13They might tell me one of my twins has died.
0:19:13 > 0:19:15They are not going to say that, baby.
0:19:15 > 0:19:16How do you know?
0:19:17 > 0:19:20I've not felt any movement on the right side for two days now.
0:19:20 > 0:19:23Cos they're probably both cuddled up round the other side, right?
0:19:23 > 0:19:26Don't you worry, baby. They're just getting comfy in there.
0:19:27 > 0:19:30Oh, shit, he's there waiting. He must be in a right state.
0:19:30 > 0:19:32All right, he's here now.
0:19:32 > 0:19:34Don't know why they couldn't just get a taxi.
0:19:34 > 0:19:38Going to take you to the hospital, get your arm looked at.
0:19:38 > 0:19:40All right, darling. I know it hurts.
0:19:40 > 0:19:43- Sorry, pal, I hit every bloody light.- Dev, can you have a look
0:19:43 > 0:19:46- at this arm, see if you think it's broken?- I'm not good at that
0:19:46 > 0:19:48- sort of thing. - I think Ben's pooed his nappy.
0:19:48 > 0:19:50- We'll change him when we get there. - Get her in.
0:19:52 > 0:19:56OK, you all right? All right. Lift him up. All right?
0:19:56 > 0:20:00I'm sorry, I'm going to lift you in. It's going to hurt a little bit,
0:20:00 > 0:20:01sweetheart, but I can't help it.
0:20:01 > 0:20:04- SHE WAILS - I know, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!
0:20:04 > 0:20:06- Oh, thanks, mate, cheers. - All right, everyone in?
0:20:06 > 0:20:08- Yeah, let's go, mate.- OK.
0:20:08 > 0:20:10She promised she'd ring them as soon as she started.
0:20:10 > 0:20:11They made me promise too.
0:20:11 > 0:20:13Well, then, I suppose you could ring them
0:20:13 > 0:20:16and tell them she's going to be at least a couple of hours yet.
0:20:16 > 0:20:19You don't know them - they'll be straight down here.
0:20:19 > 0:20:23Something like this could expose the trust to serious liability.
0:20:24 > 0:20:27I was hoping that the hospital would support me.
0:20:27 > 0:20:29And we will, of course.
0:20:29 > 0:20:31It doesn't sound like it to me.
0:20:31 > 0:20:33It sounds like you're just covering your arses.
0:20:33 > 0:20:36I think maybe I should have my union rep here.
0:20:36 > 0:20:39No-one's accusing you of anything or trying to apportion blame.
0:20:39 > 0:20:42We're just trying to establish the timeline ahead of the inquest.
0:20:42 > 0:20:44And I've told you.
0:20:44 > 0:20:47I gather a friend of yours arrived with your baby son
0:20:47 > 0:20:50- during the final stages of Mrs Osborne's labour.- I don't know.
0:20:50 > 0:20:53Who told you that? No, but she had already given birth.
0:20:55 > 0:20:57Look, I shouldn't have even been there,
0:20:57 > 0:20:59I was just helping out cos we were short-staffed.
0:20:59 > 0:21:02My friend had come to drop Ben off, that is all.
0:21:02 > 0:21:05So you had your own baby with you on the ward during your shift?
0:21:05 > 0:21:08Well, strictly speaking, my shift was over, so...
0:21:08 > 0:21:11You think that could have distracted you?
0:21:11 > 0:21:13No.
0:21:13 > 0:21:16Geraldine, the senior midwife, took him straight off me
0:21:16 > 0:21:19and I went straight back in to check on Mrs Osborne.
0:21:19 > 0:21:20No, I was not distracted
0:21:20 > 0:21:25and I don't know why you're trying to make out that it was my fault.
0:21:25 > 0:21:28- Just go there where the ambulance is.- Someone's...
0:21:28 > 0:21:31All right, she's all right, she's all right. We're nearly there now.
0:21:31 > 0:21:33- I need the loo.- Just wait until...
0:21:33 > 0:21:36- He's pooed his pants. - All right, Dev, quick as you can.
0:21:36 > 0:21:38- Just pull up there.- I've got it. - This van reeks.
0:21:38 > 0:21:40That's it, just stop here.
0:21:40 > 0:21:43I know, darling, I've just got to get you out. OK.
0:21:43 > 0:21:44You can't park that there, mate.
0:21:44 > 0:21:47This little girl's hurt her arm, I think it might be broke.
0:21:47 > 0:21:50- You still can't park it there. - You just help us with our Zack.
0:21:50 > 0:21:54- Mate, I can't wait for Jas's scan. - Come on!- Dev, tell him.
0:21:54 > 0:21:56I just have, but what can I do?
0:21:56 > 0:21:59- We're still early, right? I'll be two minutes, tops.- Dev...
0:21:59 > 0:22:02- Just wait here. Two minutes. - Seriously going to kill that man.
0:22:02 > 0:22:03OK.
0:22:04 > 0:22:07A&E? Excuse me, A&E anywhere?
0:22:07 > 0:22:12- Hey, do you know where A&E is? - Left.- Left? Down here? Down here.
0:22:12 > 0:22:16- Sorry, mate, that way.- What? - Back that way, sorry.- Come on.
0:22:16 > 0:22:18Come on, that way. This way, come on.
0:22:18 > 0:22:21Sorry, we're nearly there now.
0:22:21 > 0:22:22- Are you sure?- Yeah.
0:22:22 > 0:22:23PHONE RINGS OUT
0:22:23 > 0:22:25Keep going. You're all right.
0:22:30 > 0:22:34- This, this is really interesting. - It's an oil and acrylic mix.
0:22:34 > 0:22:37- I've had it textured there with sand and tar.- I love the colours.
0:22:37 > 0:22:40It's just the sort of thing we're looking for.
0:22:40 > 0:22:44Could you do me something like this only much bigger? A statement piece.
0:22:44 > 0:22:47Really bold, really bright, maybe a 10x8.
0:22:47 > 0:22:49I can absolutely do that.
0:22:49 > 0:22:52Moneywise, tell me if you think I'm wide off the mark,
0:22:52 > 0:22:54but I was hoping for around six.
0:22:54 > 0:22:56- Thousand?- Yeah.
0:22:58 > 0:23:01- Well, that's... - Were you expecting more?
0:23:01 > 0:23:04Right, OK. Erm, would eight be nearer the mark?
0:23:05 > 0:23:07- Absolutely bang on. - ELEVATOR DINGS
0:23:07 > 0:23:10- Nathan! Nathan! - That'll be my partner.
0:23:11 > 0:23:14She's started! Maxine just rang - she's 7cm.
0:23:14 > 0:23:16We need to get down there!
0:23:16 > 0:23:18Oh, erm, seems like we're going to have to go.
0:23:18 > 0:23:20Not even got time to get changed to meet my own son.
0:23:20 > 0:23:23I've not finished the nursery curtains, I've...
0:23:23 > 0:23:24I knew I wouldn't be ready.
0:23:24 > 0:23:27- If I leave you a key, you can measure up.- Yeah.
0:23:27 > 0:23:30Where's the aromatherapy candle?
0:23:30 > 0:23:32I put something down, I know where it is and you move it!
0:23:32 > 0:23:34- Oh, it's here.- If you just press eight on the door pad
0:23:34 > 0:23:36when you leave, the alarm will set itself.
0:23:36 > 0:23:38Don't worry about me. I know what it's like.
0:23:38 > 0:23:41This time last year, I was panicking when my girlfriend went into labour.
0:23:41 > 0:23:43We need to stop at a shop and get flowers and a card.
0:23:43 > 0:23:45Andrew, will you shut up?
0:23:55 > 0:23:56PHONE RINGS
0:23:56 > 0:23:58It's Simon, I'm going to have to get this.
0:23:58 > 0:24:00- Whatever, do what you have to do.- OK.
0:24:01 > 0:24:05- Hi.- Hey, yeah, I had to call - I've got a commission!
0:24:05 > 0:24:07Simon, that's great! Well done.
0:24:07 > 0:24:09- Listen, can I call you later?- Yeah.
0:24:09 > 0:24:11I think they're actually going to pay me eight grand.
0:24:11 > 0:24:12- That's really good.- Yeah.
0:24:12 > 0:24:15He's loaded, you should see his apartment.
0:24:15 > 0:24:18He's the son of the woman that Mum spoke to at the golf club.
0:24:18 > 0:24:22- That's amazing.- Yeah. He's just left me to measure up.
0:24:22 > 0:24:24Him and his partner are going to have a baby
0:24:24 > 0:24:26and their girl's just gone into labour.
0:24:26 > 0:24:28Ro, this could be the start of something really big.
0:24:28 > 0:24:31He's got other properties which he does interior designs for as well.
0:24:31 > 0:24:34- Listen, I'm really going to have to go. I...- Where are you?
0:24:34 > 0:24:36Manchester. I've come up to see Kyle.
0:24:36 > 0:24:39He's not happy on his course - I just want to know what's going on.
0:24:39 > 0:24:41Oh, right, well, you never said.
0:24:41 > 0:24:45Yeah, well, you left so early in the morning I didn't have a chance.
0:24:45 > 0:24:48- Well, what about the interview? - What interview?
0:24:48 > 0:24:50The one you said you were going for.
0:24:50 > 0:24:53Oh, yeah, yeah. Mm, they cancelled.
0:24:53 > 0:24:55- Said they didn't want to see me again.- Oh.
0:24:55 > 0:24:56Great, well, that sounds like
0:24:56 > 0:24:58they're just going to give you the job.
0:24:58 > 0:25:00Or they've decided I'm not right for it
0:25:00 > 0:25:02and don't want to waste their time.
0:25:02 > 0:25:05Listen, Si, I've really got to go. Kyle's here now, so...
0:25:05 > 0:25:08All right, well, give him my best.
0:25:08 > 0:25:09- Yeah, I will.- Love you.
0:25:10 > 0:25:11You too.
0:25:19 > 0:25:21- Good news?- Yeah, yeah, I think so.
0:25:22 > 0:25:24- You OK?- Not really, no.
0:25:24 > 0:25:27I'm a bloody terrible liar.
0:25:27 > 0:25:30I can't remember what I've said to him from one minute to the next.
0:25:30 > 0:25:32I told him I had a job interview last night
0:25:32 > 0:25:34and now he thinks I've got a bloody job.
0:25:34 > 0:25:36You have got a job, your old job.
0:25:36 > 0:25:40With salary, holiday pay, a car when you want it.
0:25:40 > 0:25:42I do want my old job back, seriously.
0:25:43 > 0:25:47God, it's so hard. I just don't want it to be like this.
0:25:47 > 0:25:50- Like what?- Torn, lying.
0:25:50 > 0:25:53- It's horrible. - You told him the truth.
0:25:54 > 0:25:58We're here to see Kyle. He's your son.
0:25:58 > 0:26:00I just failed to mention that I was here with you.
0:26:00 > 0:26:03You don't have to tell him everything.
0:26:03 > 0:26:05- Did he ask?- No.- Well, then.
0:26:07 > 0:26:09But we both know where this is headed, Ray.
0:26:12 > 0:26:13Thank you.
0:26:16 > 0:26:19- Did the money come into your bank? - Yes, thank you.
0:26:19 > 0:26:22That's just the first part of the settlement.
0:26:22 > 0:26:24The rest should be in by the end of the month.
0:26:24 > 0:26:26Thanks, Ray.
0:26:26 > 0:26:28So, have you started looking at houses?
0:26:28 > 0:26:29No, haven't had time.
0:26:31 > 0:26:34To tell you the truth, I've been confused.
0:26:34 > 0:26:36- What about?- About everything. About what to do.
0:26:38 > 0:26:41- We should really stop this, Ray, it's not fair.- Stop what?
0:26:41 > 0:26:43We're not doing anything.
0:26:43 > 0:26:47We're simply trying to work out where things went wrong between us.
0:26:47 > 0:26:50Don't you think we owe that to ourselves? To our kids?
0:26:50 > 0:26:54For God's sake, we were inseparable for 20 years.
0:26:54 > 0:26:56It was Ray and Roanna, Roanna and Ray.
0:26:59 > 0:27:03Don't beat yourself up about something that's perfectly natural.
0:27:05 > 0:27:08Hey. Look at you two - get a room.
0:27:09 > 0:27:10Son!
0:27:11 > 0:27:15- So, what's going on here, then? - Sorting a few things out.
0:27:15 > 0:27:17Well, that's great news.
0:27:17 > 0:27:20- Well, this is Lydia. - Hiya, you all right?
0:27:20 > 0:27:23- I'm Ray, Kyle's dad.- Hiya. - We're on the same course.
0:27:23 > 0:27:25Oh, hi, Lydia, very pleased to meet you.
0:27:25 > 0:27:26Hiya, you too.
0:27:33 > 0:27:35Can you shift this van right now, please?
0:27:35 > 0:27:37I can't shift anything, I'm expecting twins.
0:27:37 > 0:27:39I don't care if you're expecting quads, love,
0:27:39 > 0:27:42- this bay's reserved for ambulances only.- Charming!
0:27:42 > 0:27:45- He's taken the bloody keys.- Right.
0:27:46 > 0:27:47Dial M.
0:27:49 > 0:27:51Well, her weight's a little under what it should be
0:27:51 > 0:27:55- and it's the same for her height. - I know, I know.
0:27:55 > 0:27:57She's a bit behind on her development.
0:27:58 > 0:28:00But...
0:28:00 > 0:28:03I'm very pleased to say I've no major concerns at this time,
0:28:03 > 0:28:05so you've nothing to worry about.
0:28:05 > 0:28:09Overall, she's doing really well and I'm confident she'll soon catch up.
0:28:09 > 0:28:12Oh, my God. I can't believe it, thank you.
0:28:12 > 0:28:14- Not a problem.- I was...
0:28:15 > 0:28:17Well, I was expecting bad news. I...
0:28:19 > 0:28:21I can't wait to tell my husband.
0:28:24 > 0:28:26Hey, tell Daddy. Tell Daddy when we get home.
0:28:28 > 0:28:31Right, I'm really going to have to go, I'm going to be in so much shit.
0:28:31 > 0:28:32Sorry, Dev. Thanks for everything, mate,
0:28:32 > 0:28:34don't know what I'd have done without you.
0:28:34 > 0:28:36Will you be all right getting back?
0:28:36 > 0:28:38Yeah, I'm going to ring Diane again in a minute.
0:28:38 > 0:28:40She'll be on her way home soon so she'll turn her phone back on.
0:28:40 > 0:28:43Listen, I hope Jas's scan goes all right, you know,
0:28:43 > 0:28:44and the babies are hanging on in there.
0:28:44 > 0:28:47They will be, fingers crossed. I'll ring you when I'm leaving.
0:28:47 > 0:28:50- If you're still here, I'll... - No, mate, we'll be fine. You go.
0:28:50 > 0:28:52- Thanks, pal.- Yeah, no worries.
0:28:53 > 0:28:54I think he's frightened of Jasmin.
0:28:54 > 0:28:57No, he just wants what's best for her. They're having twins.
0:28:57 > 0:28:59We both know how hard that is, don't we?
0:28:59 > 0:29:01Mum had a right fat belly when she had Hope and Zack.
0:29:01 > 0:29:04That wasn't a fat belly - she had babies in there, mate.
0:29:04 > 0:29:06- Is she all right?- We'll have a much better idea when we get
0:29:06 > 0:29:09the X-ray results, but it looks like a greenstick fracture.
0:29:09 > 0:29:11Don't worry, we'll look after her.
0:29:11 > 0:29:13When will we be able to take her home?
0:29:13 > 0:29:15Your daughter'll almost certainly need a plaster cast.
0:29:15 > 0:29:18No, she's not my daughter, I was just looking after her.
0:29:18 > 0:29:20- Right.- I'm his daughter.- Yeah.
0:29:20 > 0:29:22What happened is my wife - she's a childminder -
0:29:22 > 0:29:26- and I was looking after Mia when she was out.- I see.
0:29:26 > 0:29:28She might need some sedation to manipulate the bone
0:29:28 > 0:29:31back into alignment, and we'll need her parents' consent for that.
0:29:31 > 0:29:34All right, bloody hell. Erm...
0:29:34 > 0:29:37I think I left the number on the fridge door at home.
0:29:37 > 0:29:38My wife, she's here, she'll have it.
0:29:38 > 0:29:41She's in the children's department with our baby girl.
0:29:41 > 0:29:43Hope's having her assessment today.
0:29:43 > 0:29:46- That's why my dad's looking after us.- Yeah.
0:29:46 > 0:29:47OK.
0:29:47 > 0:29:49So, if you'd all like to follow me.
0:29:49 > 0:29:52OK, erm, can you just grab that for us? You all right?
0:29:52 > 0:29:53Yeah, it's fine.
0:29:53 > 0:29:55All right. Over here.
0:30:00 > 0:30:01Sorry, sorry, sorry.
0:30:02 > 0:30:04Shit!
0:30:04 > 0:30:06Have you seen my wife, mate? She was in the van.
0:30:06 > 0:30:09She had a row with the car park attendant and they went inside.
0:30:09 > 0:30:10Think she got tired of waiting.
0:30:10 > 0:30:12I'm not going to be able to move it with that
0:30:12 > 0:30:14stuck on the bloody windscreen.
0:30:16 > 0:30:19- Why didn't you say anything? - I told you not to park it there.
0:30:21 > 0:30:23Sitting there eating your sandwich.
0:30:25 > 0:30:27Doesn't even bloody come off.
0:30:35 > 0:30:39- Vicky!- Hiya. I saw you were booked in for your scan today. How are you?
0:30:39 > 0:30:40Pissed off with Dev.
0:30:40 > 0:30:42He went racing off with Rick and just left me here
0:30:42 > 0:30:44and I had this barney with the car park attendant.
0:30:44 > 0:30:47- What time's your scan booked for? - Now.
0:30:47 > 0:30:49And he knows how nervous I am about it.
0:30:49 > 0:30:52- Well, if he's not back in time, I'll come in with you.- Thank you.
0:30:52 > 0:30:55- Hey, how did she get on?- Brilliant.
0:30:55 > 0:30:59Doctor Inman said he has no concerns and that she's doing really well.
0:30:59 > 0:31:01Honestly, it was such a relief, I could have
0:31:01 > 0:31:03flung my arms around him and kissed him.
0:31:03 > 0:31:04- That's great news.- Yeah.
0:31:06 > 0:31:09I just hope both of mine are all right as well.
0:31:09 > 0:31:10Hey.
0:31:14 > 0:31:15There we go.
0:31:15 > 0:31:18I thought I did the right thing. I brought her in as fast as I could.
0:31:18 > 0:31:21- Could you just explain how the injury happened?- I told you.
0:31:21 > 0:31:24Now you can tell me.
0:31:24 > 0:31:25Well, I didn't really see.
0:31:25 > 0:31:28She was playing upstairs and then she fell off the bed.
0:31:28 > 0:31:31- She was trying to jump like me and Sam.- You were with her all the time?
0:31:31 > 0:31:33- Yeah.- We both were.
0:31:33 > 0:31:36You say your wife's a registered childminder.
0:31:36 > 0:31:38Yeah, she has been for the best part of a year now.
0:31:38 > 0:31:41My nana comes and helps, though, sometimes.
0:31:41 > 0:31:44- Have you been DBS checked? - I don't even know what that is.
0:31:44 > 0:31:47It's a police check to make sure you're fit to look after children.
0:31:47 > 0:31:50No, no, I don't need to be cos I'm not the one who's looking
0:31:50 > 0:31:51after them. Well, not normally.
0:31:51 > 0:31:54It's my wife, I was just helping out for a couple of hours.
0:31:54 > 0:31:56And now we have an injured three-year-old without
0:31:56 > 0:31:59a parent or guardian and no contact details for them.
0:31:59 > 0:32:01That's why I keep telling you to call my wife.
0:32:01 > 0:32:03She's on floor three in the children's clinic
0:32:03 > 0:32:05- with our little girl.- Do you want me to go see if I can find her?
0:32:05 > 0:32:07- No, stay there. - I don't think you realise
0:32:07 > 0:32:09how serious this is, Mr Manning.
0:32:17 > 0:32:19I didn't believe it when she told me.
0:32:19 > 0:32:22No, neither did I at first. It seemed unreal.
0:32:22 > 0:32:25I mean, one minute she was sat up in bed laughing and then...
0:32:25 > 0:32:27the next she'd gone.
0:32:27 > 0:32:29You're frightening me to death.
0:32:29 > 0:32:31I'm sorry, Jas.
0:32:31 > 0:32:33Listen, I must have delivered thousands of babies
0:32:33 > 0:32:36and I have never lost a mother once, never.
0:32:37 > 0:32:40And I hope to God I never lose one again.
0:32:42 > 0:32:44There has to be a proper inquest and everything.
0:32:44 > 0:32:47- I've had to be interviewed. - Oh, that must have been awful.
0:32:47 > 0:32:49They go over and over it.
0:32:49 > 0:32:53I suppose the trust has to decide what's best for the hospital.
0:32:53 > 0:32:56I just... I just hope it wasn't something I did.
0:32:56 > 0:32:57No, don't be silly.
0:33:00 > 0:33:04Look, I've got to go. I've left Rick at home with all the kids.
0:33:04 > 0:33:05Oh, I totally forgot!
0:33:05 > 0:33:08He's over in A&E with that girl that you look after.
0:33:08 > 0:33:10Yeah, she's hurt her arm.
0:33:17 > 0:33:20RICK: 'We're on our way to hospital now. Call us back when you get this.'
0:33:20 > 0:33:22- 'He reeks!'- 'Don't worry about that.
0:33:22 > 0:33:25'Mia, it's all right, we're nearly there now.'
0:33:25 > 0:33:27Shit! Rick, what have you done now?
0:33:27 > 0:33:29We should have just waited for the lift.
0:33:29 > 0:33:31We can't wait for the lift, it's too slow.
0:33:34 > 0:33:37Argh, the pain's getting worse.
0:33:37 > 0:33:40I thought this epidural thing was supposed to be doing summat.
0:33:40 > 0:33:42You've not had it in long, love.
0:33:42 > 0:33:45You'll start getting some relief any minute, sweetheart.
0:33:45 > 0:33:48Only us! Is everything all right?
0:33:48 > 0:33:51Oh, bloody hell, cavalry's arrived.
0:33:51 > 0:33:53- Who rang you?- Sorry, love. - NATHAN: How's the baby?
0:33:53 > 0:33:55Baby and Mummy are both doing fine.
0:33:55 > 0:33:57No, I'm not, I'm in bloody agony.
0:33:57 > 0:33:59We got here just as fast as we could. Is there anything we can do?
0:33:59 > 0:34:01Have you given her anything for the pain?
0:34:01 > 0:34:03Er, yeah, she's had an epidural, gas and air,
0:34:03 > 0:34:06diamorphine - she's had everything she can take.
0:34:06 > 0:34:07It's very bright in here.
0:34:07 > 0:34:10Do you not think it should be a bit darker for when baby comes out?
0:34:10 > 0:34:13No, sweetheart, cos I have to be able to see what I'm doing.
0:34:13 > 0:34:15- How are you both?- Nervous.
0:34:15 > 0:34:17I don't know what you've got to be nervous about,
0:34:17 > 0:34:19it's me who has to shove this thing out of my fanny!
0:34:19 > 0:34:21SHE SQUEALS
0:34:26 > 0:34:27Is she OK?
0:34:27 > 0:34:308.5cm. The epidural should start kicking in any minute.
0:34:30 > 0:34:32- Oh, it hasn't yet! - I know what'll help.
0:34:34 > 0:34:35Jasmine and neroli.
0:34:35 > 0:34:37I couldn't remember where I'd put it but it's brilliant.
0:34:37 > 0:34:39You won't believe how relaxing this is.
0:34:39 > 0:34:40That'll be loads better(!)
0:34:40 > 0:34:43You can't burn that in here - it's health and safety.
0:34:43 > 0:34:44We've got gas canisters.
0:34:45 > 0:34:47We got you these.
0:34:47 > 0:34:50- Oh, I'll take them.- Aww. - I'll find you something.
0:34:50 > 0:34:53- They're beautiful.- Thank you.
0:34:53 > 0:34:55Look, why don't we just give her a bit of a breather, eh?
0:34:55 > 0:34:58You know, just for a little bit, until the epidural starts working.
0:34:58 > 0:35:00She'll be feeling loads better then.
0:35:03 > 0:35:06Be nice! Back in a tick.
0:35:06 > 0:35:08SHE GROANS
0:35:10 > 0:35:13Sometimes, babies go quiet when they're getting ready to be born.
0:35:13 > 0:35:15It doesn't mean there's anything wrong.
0:35:15 > 0:35:18Let's just see what the consultant says, OK?
0:35:18 > 0:35:21- Sorry, baby, sorry. I've been waiting round the other side. - What for?
0:35:21 > 0:35:22I don't know.
0:35:22 > 0:35:25Because I forgot it was this side and I had to move the van
0:35:25 > 0:35:27and scrape that big sticky notice off windscreen.
0:35:27 > 0:35:30- Are you going to be all right now? - Yeah. Thanks for waiting with me.
0:35:30 > 0:35:33- No, it's no problem, I'll call you tonight, OK?- Cheers, Vicky.
0:35:33 > 0:35:38- Sorry.- One of the mums died last week after she'd given birth.
0:35:38 > 0:35:41Oh, God, you're not going to start worrying about that now, are you?
0:35:41 > 0:35:44- It's serious, Dev. - How are you feeling?- Fine.
0:35:44 > 0:35:46It says "bearable discomfort" in the book I read,
0:35:46 > 0:35:48and it doesn't look like that to me.
0:35:48 > 0:35:51Well, they're not going to say it's excruciating agony, are they,
0:35:51 > 0:35:52or nobody would ever have a baby!
0:35:52 > 0:35:56- How's she getting on?- Oh, 8.5cm and she's had an epidural.- OK, great.
0:35:56 > 0:35:59- So everything is going according to plan, then?- Yeah.- Lovely.
0:36:02 > 0:36:04- She don't want her in there. - Really, why not?
0:36:04 > 0:36:07Somebody died the other day when she were looking after 'em
0:36:07 > 0:36:09- and our Shelly were here. - Well, I'm not surprised then.
0:36:09 > 0:36:11You mean she actually died while she was in labour?
0:36:11 > 0:36:14- After she had given birth. - That's terrible. Did the baby live?
0:36:14 > 0:36:17- Yes, the baby lived.- Well, that's not too bad.- Oh, Andrew!
0:36:17 > 0:36:21I didn't mean it like that. I meant for the dad, for the woman's husband. For...
0:36:21 > 0:36:23- Shall we just go back inside? - I don't know.
0:36:23 > 0:36:26She's going to be a bit yet because the epidural slows everything down.
0:36:26 > 0:36:30- But you could go and sit quietly and say nowt, and you might be all right.- We'll do that.
0:36:30 > 0:36:33I've just got to go somewhere, be back soon.
0:36:33 > 0:36:35Don't worry, we won't let her die.
0:36:41 > 0:36:43So, this is nice.
0:36:45 > 0:36:48So, are you going to come back with us, Kyle?
0:36:48 > 0:36:52- No, I think we'll hang around if that's all right.- Yes, of course.
0:36:52 > 0:36:56I've got loads of revising to do. We've got our first exams coming up.
0:36:56 > 0:37:01But, listen, it's great to see that you two getting on all right.
0:37:01 > 0:37:03We're trying our best.
0:37:03 > 0:37:05That's fantastic.
0:37:05 > 0:37:08Lovely to see you, Mum, and I'm definitely home next holiday,
0:37:08 > 0:37:11- so...we'll catch up properly. - Yes, of course.
0:37:11 > 0:37:13- Very nice to meet you, Lydia. - You, too.
0:37:13 > 0:37:14Thanks, Dad.
0:37:16 > 0:37:17- See ya.- Bye!
0:37:21 > 0:37:24- I don't understand.- Neither do I.
0:37:25 > 0:37:29I swear to God he was in pieces on the phone. He was packing it all in.
0:37:29 > 0:37:34I suppose he's met the lovely Lydia and that's what love does for you.
0:37:34 > 0:37:35I'll get the bill.
0:37:41 > 0:37:44What were you thinking, letting her jump on the bed? She's three!
0:37:44 > 0:37:48- It wasn't Dad's fault.- She was just jumping then she fell off.
0:37:48 > 0:37:51- You should have been watching her. - I was watching Ben and our Zack.
0:37:51 > 0:37:52I haven't got eyes in the back of my head!
0:37:52 > 0:37:55You have to grow them when you're looking after other people's kids.
0:37:55 > 0:37:59- I knew it would be my fault. - What am I going to tell her mum when she turns up?- I don't know.
0:37:59 > 0:38:03Mr and Mrs Manning? Rita Milligan, social services.
0:38:03 > 0:38:05I am so sorry, Mrs Milligan. This is not how it looks.
0:38:05 > 0:38:08OK, well, as I am sure you already know, the hospital social care
0:38:08 > 0:38:11worker called us in relation to a child protection issue.
0:38:11 > 0:38:13No, this is not a child protection issue. My husband...
0:38:13 > 0:38:16A child was left in your care, Mrs Manning.
0:38:16 > 0:38:19A child you were paid to look after under licence from the local
0:38:19 > 0:38:22authority. However, you left her alone with your husband...
0:38:22 > 0:38:25Look, look, it were me. I told Diane to leave.
0:38:25 > 0:38:27Our daughter had an appointment this morning.
0:38:27 > 0:38:30Diane didn't want to go but I made her because she was worried about her.
0:38:30 > 0:38:34But what made you think you were qualified to look after somebody else's child?
0:38:34 > 0:38:37I didn't know you needed bloody qualifications to look after a child!
0:38:37 > 0:38:39You know, when I was a kid, my mum used to go door knocking to see
0:38:39 > 0:38:42if any of the neighbours could look after me when she went to work.
0:38:42 > 0:38:47- Fortunately, things have changed. I'm afraid I am going to have to report this.- Great.
0:39:05 > 0:39:07OK, then. Let's see what we can see.
0:39:17 > 0:39:19The fluid levels are looking good.
0:39:19 > 0:39:23Pretty much where I'd expect them to be, so that's encouraging.
0:39:23 > 0:39:25- Just need to check...- What is it?
0:39:25 > 0:39:29- Looks like we have some chorioamniotic separation. - Is that bad?
0:39:29 > 0:39:31It just means that part of the placenta
0:39:31 > 0:39:34has separated from the wall of the uterus.
0:39:34 > 0:39:36It's every bloody time we come in here.
0:39:36 > 0:39:37What else is going to go wrong?
0:39:39 > 0:39:44- That's it, you're having a vasectomy.- What, how is it my fault?
0:39:44 > 0:39:46And there it is, baby A.
0:39:48 > 0:39:52- Oh, Jas, look at that. Its heart beating.- It's good, strong.
0:39:52 > 0:39:54Nice and steady.
0:39:54 > 0:39:59HEARTBEAT
0:40:07 > 0:40:09And here is baby B.
0:40:12 > 0:40:14I can't see the heartbeat.
0:40:14 > 0:40:16- I can't hear anything. - Let's keep looking.
0:40:16 > 0:40:20- It's a little crowded in there. - I can't!- Sh, sh, shh.
0:40:27 > 0:40:29HEARTBEAT
0:40:29 > 0:40:31And another good heartbeat.
0:40:31 > 0:40:35Yes! I told you!
0:40:36 > 0:40:41- I told you. Little fighters. - I'm trying to see baby!
0:40:43 > 0:40:47If you still want to know their sex, I can tell you now, if you like?
0:40:47 > 0:40:49You know, I don't know why I ever cared about that.
0:40:49 > 0:40:52They are healthy, and that's all that matters.
0:40:52 > 0:40:53That's why I married him!
0:40:55 > 0:40:57- I do love you sometimes. - Just not all the time, though, hey?
0:40:57 > 0:40:58You drive me mad!
0:41:01 > 0:41:02I love you.
0:41:05 > 0:41:10- So the laser worked then?- Well, from what I can see here, yes, it has.
0:41:10 > 0:41:12- Thank you.- What about the placenta?
0:41:12 > 0:41:14It doesn't require any immediate action,
0:41:14 > 0:41:16but we will keep a really close eye on you.
0:41:16 > 0:41:18HE CHEERS
0:41:21 > 0:41:22- Love you.- Love you.
0:41:24 > 0:41:28- Oh, got it on my bloody hand! Sorry! - He's just excited.
0:41:28 > 0:41:30- I can't believe it. - It's your dad here.
0:41:30 > 0:41:32I'm bloody proud of you.
0:41:37 > 0:41:40What about when your mum looks after the kids?
0:41:40 > 0:41:42She's on the licence and she's been checked.
0:41:42 > 0:41:44My friend drew a picture on her pot.
0:41:44 > 0:41:47We could do that tomorrow and put some sparkles on it?
0:41:47 > 0:41:49She might not be here tomorrow, love.
0:41:52 > 0:41:56- I forgot to ask. What did they say about Hope?- She's here.
0:41:56 > 0:41:58What the hell's she done?
0:41:58 > 0:41:59I'm sorry, it's broken,
0:41:59 > 0:42:02but they didn't have to give her an anaesthetic to set it, so...
0:42:02 > 0:42:04My poor little baby!
0:42:04 > 0:42:07- It's not as bad as it looks... - It's a broken bloody arm!
0:42:07 > 0:42:09That's bad enough!
0:42:09 > 0:42:12- What the hell happened?- She fell off the bed.- It was an accident!
0:42:12 > 0:42:15I was looking after her. It was my fault.
0:42:15 > 0:42:17I don't pay you to look after my daughter. Where were you?
0:42:17 > 0:42:20I was here. I had to take Hope for an appointment,
0:42:20 > 0:42:22but it could have happened when I was with her. I'm sorry.
0:42:22 > 0:42:26You have to bring her back in six weeks to get it taken off.
0:42:26 > 0:42:28Bloody great.
0:42:28 > 0:42:31- I'm really sorry.- You're sorry?! My daughter's in plaster.
0:42:31 > 0:42:35God knows how long I'm going to have to take off work for this.
0:42:40 > 0:42:45- She's a bit cross.- She certainly is. - It wasn't Dad's fault though.
0:42:48 > 0:42:51- Can I just say that you were dead brave in there.- I know I was.
0:42:51 > 0:42:54We should phone home and give them the good news.
0:42:54 > 0:42:56Yes, and go somewhere and have something to eat.
0:42:56 > 0:43:00I right fancy some pickled gherkins. And we can go on our own without our mums!
0:43:03 > 0:43:06- Hey, Rick! Everything all right with the little girl?- She broke an arm.
0:43:06 > 0:43:08- She's got it in plaster. - Oh, shit, poor little thing.
0:43:08 > 0:43:10And we've just had a run-in with her mother.
0:43:10 > 0:43:12I had a barney with a car park attendant.
0:43:12 > 0:43:14- Diane, did you tell her it was an accident?- Of course.
0:43:14 > 0:43:17Did you know you've got to have qualifications to look after kids
0:43:17 > 0:43:19- these days?- No...- Yeah.
0:43:19 > 0:43:23- Looks like I'm going to be reported to the council.- Diane, I'm so sorry.
0:43:23 > 0:43:27- What are they going to do?- I don't know. Probably read me the riot act.
0:43:27 > 0:43:30- Anyway, the most important thing is Hope is all right.- Yeah.
0:43:30 > 0:43:34- Yeah, and so are both my twins. - Oh, that's great news!
0:43:34 > 0:43:37- I'm starving!- Yeah, me too, mate. How about we grab something to eat?
0:43:37 > 0:43:40Oh, we can't, mate, we can't afford it, pal.
0:43:40 > 0:43:42- It's just Jas could do with a break from our mothers.- Yeah.
0:43:42 > 0:43:45- Why don't you come to ours? I'll make something.- Are you sure?
0:43:45 > 0:43:48We haven't got enough baby seats in our car, so have to cadge a lift anyway.
0:43:48 > 0:43:51I'm not sure we can take Ben, though, in case it's illegal.
0:43:51 > 0:43:54Yes, he's in enough trouble with leaving Amber in t'van, so...
0:43:54 > 0:43:56All right, Jas, do you have to keep bringing that up?!
0:43:56 > 0:43:59- Well, I tell you what, why don't me and Zack go with you?- Yeah, OK.
0:43:59 > 0:44:01- All right.- Come on, let's go.
0:44:01 > 0:44:04Mate, that's great news about Hope, though.
0:44:04 > 0:44:07- And about the twins.- Cheers, thanks.
0:44:10 > 0:44:14You wouldn't have made it up about Kyle being depressed, would you?
0:44:14 > 0:44:16No. Why would I do that?
0:44:18 > 0:44:20So we could travel to Manchester together.
0:44:22 > 0:44:24- You did, didn't you?- No.
0:44:39 > 0:44:43- Someone told them about Diane turning up.- Well, it weren't me.
0:44:43 > 0:44:47- Did they give you any idea what will happen next?- No, I'm going to have to try and not think about it
0:44:47 > 0:44:48until after the coroner's hearing.
0:44:48 > 0:44:51Can you help? There something wrong with Shelly.
0:44:51 > 0:44:55- I don't think the epidural's working.- OK, sweetheart, I'm coming.
0:44:56 > 0:44:59SHE WAILS IN PAIN
0:45:02 > 0:45:06- That's it. That's it. Go on, take another big breath.- I am!
0:45:06 > 0:45:09The more you breathe in, the easier it'll get.
0:45:09 > 0:45:11That's what it said on the DVD we sent you.
0:45:11 > 0:45:14- I didn't watch the bloody DVD. - What's the matter, love?
0:45:14 > 0:45:17- Are you getting no relief at all? - It's killing me!
0:45:17 > 0:45:20- Where's me mam?- I don't know, she headed off somewhere.
0:45:20 > 0:45:24- There's still plenty in there. Who did it?- Jane.- She's a crap anaesthetist.
0:45:24 > 0:45:26I'm just going to check on you to see what is going on.
0:45:26 > 0:45:29Just let your knees flop to the side, sweetheart.
0:45:31 > 0:45:32You all right there, darling?
0:45:32 > 0:45:35If you can just pop them to the side like that, darling.
0:45:35 > 0:45:39I can do it myself, thanks! No offence, but she's sorting me out.
0:45:39 > 0:45:43It's all right, lovely, I was trying to help you. I thought your legs might have started to go numb.
0:45:43 > 0:45:45Well they haven't, yet.
0:45:45 > 0:45:47Why do I have to have two midwives?
0:45:48 > 0:45:51SHE BREATHES HEAVILY
0:45:51 > 0:45:53You don't. It's all right.
0:45:54 > 0:45:55Sorry, excuse me.
0:45:55 > 0:45:57There was no need for that.
0:45:57 > 0:45:59She was just trying to help.
0:46:03 > 0:46:05Someone died when she were looking after 'em!
0:46:08 > 0:46:10You all right, love? She's just a kid.
0:46:10 > 0:46:12She don't know what she's saying.
0:46:12 > 0:46:14She does, she knows exactly what she's saying.
0:46:14 > 0:46:17Maybe she's right, maybe I am a terrible midwife.
0:46:17 > 0:46:19Maybe it's my fault that Helen died.
0:46:19 > 0:46:22Now, you stop that right now, that's absolute rubbish.
0:46:22 > 0:46:24I think I'm going to pack it in.
0:46:24 > 0:46:27No, you're blooming not, and I don't want to hear you say
0:46:27 > 0:46:29anything like that ever again, do you hear me?
0:46:29 > 0:46:30You are a good midwife, one of the best,
0:46:30 > 0:46:32and I've seen plenty in my time.
0:46:32 > 0:46:35- You were born to do this. - I don't think so, Geraldine.
0:46:35 > 0:46:38- She's not had it, has she? - No, she hasn't started pushing yet.
0:46:38 > 0:46:40Oh, thank God, she'd have killed me. I got lost.
0:46:40 > 0:46:43- This place is a ruddy maze! - I've got to get back in.
0:46:43 > 0:46:45You go and finish your break and don't think about it.
0:46:45 > 0:46:47I can't think about anything else.
0:46:51 > 0:46:54- Ahhh!- Where the hell have you been?!
0:46:54 > 0:46:57I'm sorry, love, I was just popping out for a ciggy
0:46:57 > 0:47:00when I just saw this lass brought in who'd collapsed in Trinity Centre.
0:47:00 > 0:47:04This nurse asked me to come with them, because they thought it might be Louis' mam.
0:47:04 > 0:47:08- They wanted me to see if it was the same lass I saw before I found him. - Was it her?
0:47:08 > 0:47:11Well, I only saw her for a couple of seconds so it was hard to tell.
0:47:11 > 0:47:13But it might have been, though. Anyway, sorry, love.
0:47:13 > 0:47:18- How are you doing?- It hurts. This pipe thing is good.
0:47:18 > 0:47:22All my birthing mums love the gas and air. Can you feel that?
0:47:22 > 0:47:25- Yeah, I can feel every bloody thing! - I'm sorry, sweetheart.
0:47:25 > 0:47:29- It looks like the epidural hasn't taken. It happens sometimes.- Why me?
0:47:29 > 0:47:31- Can you do it again?- No, sweetheart, she's nearly there now.
0:47:31 > 0:47:34And I reckon she's ready to push with this next contraction.
0:47:34 > 0:47:35It hurts, Mam!
0:47:35 > 0:47:40- I know, darling, but you are doing so well.- Get this bloody thing out!
0:47:40 > 0:47:44- It's not a thing!- I wouldn't, love. Can you feel another one coming?
0:47:44 > 0:47:46Yeah!
0:47:46 > 0:47:50- Right, knees up, chin down, that's it, and push.- Push, Shelly!
0:47:50 > 0:47:53- Keep pushing! - That's it, Shelly, push!
0:47:53 > 0:47:55Don't give up, you can do it, love!
0:47:55 > 0:47:58- I can't do anything, Mam!- Lovely.
0:47:58 > 0:48:00Do you know what, I think I can just see a bit of its head.
0:48:00 > 0:48:04- Is it alright if they have a look, Shelly?- Whatever. Where's my pipe?
0:48:05 > 0:48:07There, there.
0:48:08 > 0:48:15- Come on. That's it, sweetheart. - Oh, God. I feel a bit...
0:48:15 > 0:48:20- Nathan, are you all right?- Just rest a minute until the next one.
0:48:20 > 0:48:23- Oh...- Are you all right?
0:48:23 > 0:48:26It's OK! It's OK, just take a minute.
0:48:26 > 0:48:28- Yeah?- Yeah.
0:48:30 > 0:48:31Yeah.
0:48:32 > 0:48:34Oooh.
0:48:34 > 0:48:35It's OK.
0:48:37 > 0:48:39You know, I've read the books, and I've watched the DVDs,
0:48:39 > 0:48:41but you don't...
0:48:41 > 0:48:45- They don't quite prepare you for the real thing, do they?- No.
0:48:45 > 0:48:48- I mean, it's all just so... - It's only natural.
0:48:48 > 0:48:52It's OK to be a bit nervous about it. It's a big thing.
0:48:52 > 0:48:55- But, listen, it's also an amazing one.- I know, I know, just...
0:48:57 > 0:48:59It's all suddenly very real.
0:48:59 > 0:49:01Honestly, it's OK to panic a bit about it.
0:49:01 > 0:49:04But as soon as you get your little boy in your arms,
0:49:04 > 0:49:05it will all be worthwhile.
0:49:07 > 0:49:09Yeah.
0:49:09 > 0:49:10Yeah.
0:49:11 > 0:49:13Look, I can't imagine life without my Ben.
0:49:13 > 0:49:16He is the best thing that ever happened to me.
0:49:19 > 0:49:21You'll love being a daddy.
0:49:21 > 0:49:24- I'm sorry.- It's OK. It's all right.
0:49:24 > 0:49:27It's going to be OK. All right?
0:49:27 > 0:49:30- Yeah, sorry.- All right. It's OK! It's all right.
0:49:32 > 0:49:35OK, sweetheart, keep pushing! Keep pushing!
0:49:35 > 0:49:39SHE YELLS IN PAIN I can't do it any more!
0:49:39 > 0:49:42- Yes, you can...- I can't do it!- Are you feeling better?- Yes, you can.
0:49:42 > 0:49:44Just tuck your chin into your chest again.
0:49:44 > 0:49:47Come on, love, and you should be crowning with this next contraction.
0:49:47 > 0:49:51- The head will be out. - Come on, Shelly, you can do it!
0:49:51 > 0:49:52One more big push!
0:49:54 > 0:49:59That's it, love, that's it! Keep going, keep going... Keep pushing!
0:49:59 > 0:50:02- Nearly there!- This is incredible!
0:50:02 > 0:50:05- I can't watch.- It's all right, I'm getting it all.
0:50:05 > 0:50:08Small breaths. Pants. That's it, in and out.
0:50:08 > 0:50:11Small, shallow breaths. That's it.
0:50:13 > 0:50:16His head's out, oh, my God!
0:50:16 > 0:50:18There we go!
0:50:18 > 0:50:19BABY CRIES
0:50:19 > 0:50:21Oh, my God!
0:50:26 > 0:50:30There you go. Beautiful!
0:50:32 > 0:50:35He's here! Nathan, he's here!
0:50:37 > 0:50:41I'm just going to get a towel now. Just going to get a towel.
0:50:41 > 0:50:46Oh, come on, he's beautiful!
0:50:54 > 0:50:56We did it, Nathan, we did it!
0:50:57 > 0:51:00We? Excuse me, I did it.
0:51:00 > 0:51:01EVERYONE LAUGHS
0:51:01 > 0:51:03Of course you did!
0:51:07 > 0:51:08He's so beautiful.
0:51:17 > 0:51:20Sweetheart, there we go.
0:51:21 > 0:51:22He is a beauty.
0:51:29 > 0:51:31Look at his little face, look!
0:51:32 > 0:51:33He's just gorgeous.
0:51:33 > 0:51:37- You've got something to smile about, now it's all over, Shelly.- Yes.
0:51:37 > 0:51:41No more debt and no more 10 tonne Tessie.
0:51:41 > 0:51:44Did we tell you that we're thinking about calling him Sebastian?
0:51:44 > 0:51:47- Sebastian? That's a bit posh, innit? - Well, we like it.
0:51:47 > 0:51:50Who's going to hold the baby while I take Shelly's blood-pressure?
0:51:50 > 0:51:51Me, I want to hold him!
0:51:56 > 0:51:59- Careful with him.- Come on.
0:52:01 > 0:52:05- How are you feeling, sweetheart? - Don't know, really.
0:52:05 > 0:52:07- Glad I'm still alive. - You were amazing.
0:52:07 > 0:52:10You just try and relax and if you need anything, just let me know, OK?
0:52:21 > 0:52:25- Right, shall we take Sebastian and just leave you guys in peace?- What?
0:52:25 > 0:52:29- You're not taking him now. - Shelly.- No...
0:52:30 > 0:52:32It's too soon, I've only just had him.
0:52:36 > 0:52:38If you want a few more minutes with him...
0:52:38 > 0:52:41You take your time, lovely. There's no rush.
0:52:44 > 0:52:48Yeah. We can wait until later when you're ready to leave, and we can take him then.
0:52:48 > 0:52:50Actually, I don't think she'll be leaving tonight.
0:52:50 > 0:52:54- Her blood pressure is a little high for my liking.- Is she all right?
0:52:54 > 0:52:56She'll be fine, but I'd just like to keep her in until
0:52:56 > 0:52:59morning and let the doctor have a look at her before she goes home.
0:52:59 > 0:53:01And to all give us a chance to get the baby all checked out.
0:53:01 > 0:53:03You can pick him up tomorrow.
0:53:09 > 0:53:11Oh, one night can't hurt. Trust me!
0:53:11 > 0:53:15Once he starts crying, you'll wish you'd kept him longer! Come on.
0:53:18 > 0:53:19Right, OK. Erm...
0:53:21 > 0:53:23Well, we'll see you guys tomorrow.
0:53:32 > 0:53:33Bye-bye.
0:53:34 > 0:53:38- My beautiful little boy. Bye.- See you.
0:53:40 > 0:53:42It'll give you a bit of thinking time.
0:53:45 > 0:53:48- Are you having second thoughts, love?- I don't know.
0:53:52 > 0:53:55Excuse me, Geraldine. Do you know where Vicky is?
0:53:55 > 0:53:59- Yes, she finished about 10 minutes ago. Is everything all right?- Fine.
0:53:59 > 0:54:03The trust have made their decision. I just wanted to let her know.
0:54:03 > 0:54:05She might still be in the staff room.
0:54:07 > 0:54:08Thanks, love.
0:54:09 > 0:54:11All right, sweetheart?
0:54:16 > 0:54:19His mam makes me this gunk every morning.
0:54:19 > 0:54:21And she sits there and watches me drink it, doesn't she?
0:54:21 > 0:54:25- Yeah, it looks like snot!- Has she been at yours since you had Amber?
0:54:25 > 0:54:26Well, they went for a bit...
0:54:26 > 0:54:28But then they came back again
