-I asked you not to be late.

-We're up to our eyeballs.

-Join the club.

0:00:020:00:04

I was going to check her blood pressure when Diane came in...

0:00:040:00:06

I got distracted.

0:00:060:00:08

-Tell me what's going on.

-I'm a childminder.

0:00:080:00:10

-She's a surrogate for two lads I clean for.

-Mum!

0:00:100:00:13

We need to try and stop the flow of blood from one twin to the other.

0:00:130:00:17

-I sorted moving back with my parents!

-I don't want to live with

0:00:170:00:19

your parents, Simon! We're grown-ups!

0:00:190:00:21

# Thinking, what a wonderful world

0:00:210:00:25

# Yeah

0:00:260:00:27

# Thinking, what a wonderful world

0:00:270:00:30

# Ooh, ooh

0:00:300:00:32

# Watching as the colours light the Earth

0:00:350:00:39

# Thinking, what a wonderful world

0:00:390:00:41

# Yeah

0:00:430:00:44

# Thinking, what a wonderful world

0:00:440:00:47

# Hee, hee

0:00:470:00:50

# Ooh, ooh-ooh. #

0:00:520:00:55

'Well, all my friends that had their babies at the same time as me

0:01:040:01:08

'have either gone back to work or are looking for work.'

0:01:080:01:11

FOOTSTEPS

0:01:110:01:13

Got to go. I'll be late. Got a meeting after work,

0:01:130:01:16

but I'll pick up a take-away on the way home. My treat.

0:01:160:01:18

-There's that new place on King Lane.

-OK. Cool. Yeah. Good idea.

0:01:180:01:22

Be back about seven. God, you look gorgeous.

0:01:220:01:25

Maybe I could just stay and...

0:01:250:01:27

Go, or you'll be late.

0:01:270:01:28

Bye, beautiful.

0:01:290:01:32

Love you.

0:01:320:01:33

Love you, too.

0:01:330:01:34

It does get a bit lonely, staying at home all day with a ten-month-old.

0:01:390:01:42

And sometimes, I think I'd quite like to go back to work.

0:01:440:01:47

'My maternity allowance finished last week

0:01:480:01:50

'and I don't know what I'm going to do.

0:01:500:01:53

'Neil is sweet, but I don't like asking him for money all the time.

0:01:530:01:57

'I've already dipped into my savings.'

0:01:570:02:00

So, I have two weeks to decide if I'm going back or not

0:02:000:02:04

and I'm supposed to let them know.

0:02:040:02:06

I'm a teaching assistant and I kind of enjoyed it when I was there.

0:02:060:02:09

CHILDREN ARGUE

0:02:090:02:10

'Problem is, I really don't think I am going to be able to leave Emily.'

0:02:100:02:15

KNOCKING

0:02:150:02:16

'I'm thinking of asking Diane if she's got a spare place.'

0:02:160:02:18

Careful!

0:02:180:02:19

CHILDREN CONTINUE TO ARGUE

0:02:190:02:22

-Hiya.

-What are you doing here?

-I'm really sorry, but my mum

0:02:230:02:26

is looking after my sister's kids, with it being the school holidays.

0:02:260:02:30

She's got to take my gran to the chiropodist, so can't manage Ben,

0:02:300:02:33

as well. I'm really stuck.

0:02:330:02:34

SHOUTING

0:02:340:02:36

-Ellie, be careful!

-I will!

-Erm...nappies and change of clothes?

0:02:360:02:39

All in his bag.

0:02:390:02:41

Oh, thanks, Diane. You're a life-saver, honestly!

0:02:410:02:45

You are. I didn't know what to do! I know you've got your hands full

0:02:450:02:48

-with the kids being at home and...

-Has he had his breakfast?

-Yes.

0:02:480:02:52

-He's fed and watered.

-Come on, love, finish your Coco Pops.

0:02:520:02:55

There's a good girl.

0:02:550:02:56

Listen, erm...I wanted to say that

0:02:560:02:59

I'm really sorry about being late last time.

0:02:590:03:01

It won't happen again.

0:03:010:03:03

-Did you manage to pick Rick up?

-No, she didn't. Dev did.

0:03:030:03:07

-You all right?

-Oh, hello! I didn't expect to see you!

0:03:070:03:10

Well, I live here, got nowhere else to go(!)

0:03:100:03:12

-Oh, it's lovely to see you.

-He has to take Hope for an assessment

0:03:120:03:16

-this morning.

-Yeah, so I'd better get on. Listen, what number do

0:03:160:03:20

-whites go on?

-Eh, three, but don't put any bleach

0:03:200:03:22

or fabric conditioner in.

0:03:220:03:23

-Are the twins in the other room?

-Yeah. They were getting all grizzly,

0:03:230:03:26

-so I put them down for a nap.

-It's not time for their nap, Rick,

0:03:260:03:30

-and you'll have to wake up Hope, cos you have to leave soon.

-All right!

0:03:300:03:33

-I'll stick to the routine.

-It's not a routine, otherwise, is it?!

0:03:330:03:36

He just doesn't get it.

0:03:360:03:37

Are you all right?

0:03:370:03:39

I didn't sleep a wink last night.

0:03:390:03:41

Every time Hope has an assessment, I just expect bad news.

0:03:410:03:44

Why? She's doing really well.

0:03:440:03:46

-But she's behind all the other babies.

-So what?

0:03:460:03:49

But I've read stuff on the internet and Kim's blog.

0:03:490:03:52

Emily's doing so well.

0:03:520:03:53

Honestly, Diane, don't read it. Most prems turn out fine.

0:03:530:03:57

Hope is doing really well.

0:03:570:03:59

I know it sounds stupid, but the other day, I was wondering

0:03:590:04:02

-if she could hear me properly.

-If you have any worries,

0:04:020:04:05

now is the time to talk to the doctor about it.

0:04:050:04:08

-Right, I'll put my shirt on and wake Hope up.

-This assessment's as much for you

0:04:080:04:11

as it is for Hope, to put your mind at rest. So, stop worrying.

0:04:110:04:14

I...brought you money.

0:04:140:04:17

-Listen, I'm sorry for...

-No, honestly, it was all my fault.

0:04:170:04:20

I should have left when I was going to and everything would have been,

0:04:200:04:24

I don't know...much better.

0:04:240:04:26

BABY GURGLES

0:04:260:04:28

-Do you want to go to Diane?

-Go on.

-Eh!

-There you go.

0:04:280:04:31

-I'm going to see Rosie and her new baby now.

-How is she?

0:04:310:04:34

Yeah, great. Just takes everything in her stride.

0:04:340:04:37

The baby's umbilical's had an infection, so I'm just going

0:04:370:04:41

-to check that it's healed.

-Give her my love.

-I will.

0:04:410:04:43

Bye, gorgeous, you be a good boy for your Auntie Diane. OK?

0:04:430:04:46

-See you later.

-See you later.

0:04:460:04:48

Bye-bye, darling.

0:04:480:04:49

Bye-bye.

0:04:490:04:51

Right, then, what shall we do today?

0:04:510:04:53

Shall we do some finger painting with Ellie and Sam?

0:04:530:04:56

Yeah? How about you?

0:04:560:04:58

Yeah?

0:05:000:05:01

'I don't think I'd trust anybody other than Diane to look after her.'

0:05:020:05:06

And you're doing so well with your flash cards, aren't you?

0:05:060:05:09

You can say six words now. Come on, darling, what's this?

0:05:090:05:14

Say it for Mummy.

0:05:140:05:15

Come on, Emily. B-b-b...

0:05:150:05:17

Bowl. Bowl.

0:05:170:05:20

EMILY GURGLES

0:05:200:05:21

Oh, you're so clever!

0:05:230:05:24

'I remember Roanna saying to me, "Blink and they're grown up."

0:05:290:05:33

'I don't want to look back and think I missed any stage

0:05:350:05:38

'of her growing up. That's all for now.

0:05:380:05:41

'Post me a comment.

0:05:410:05:42

'Tell me if you'll be a stay-at-home mum or go back to work.'

0:05:420:05:45

-There we go!

-Oh, you look lovely! That colour really suits you.

0:05:520:05:57

-Thanks, darling.

-Is it another interview?

-No, no.

0:05:570:06:00

It's my oldest son. He's struggling at uni.

0:06:000:06:02

Thinks he's made the wrong degree choices. I just need to talk to him

0:06:020:06:05

-and make sure he's not making a mistake.

-We had all that with Simon.

0:06:050:06:08

It was awful!

0:06:080:06:09

He hated medicine.

0:06:090:06:11

His father insisted he had to finish his training.

0:06:110:06:14

-He was really miserable about it.

-Kyle's only in his first year,

0:06:140:06:18

so if he's not happy, we don't mind cutting our losses.

0:06:180:06:21

Well, go and sort it out. Don't you worry.

0:06:210:06:23

BABY CRIES

0:06:230:06:25

It's all right. I won't be long. Stay with Granny.

0:06:250:06:28

We'll go to the park, go and feed the ducks.

0:06:280:06:31

-Bye, darling.

-Bye, sweetheart.

0:06:310:06:33

It's all right! Ooh, what's that?!

0:06:330:06:37

You're going to have hurry up or you'll be late. Her bag's all ready.

0:06:370:06:40

Red book's in front pocket and can you remember to ask about her hearing?

0:06:400:06:43

-Her hearing's fine, love.

-Can you just mention it?

0:06:430:06:46

She's either ignoring me or can't hear me properly.

0:06:460:06:48

-She sleeps with her eyes half-open. It's really freaky.

-That as well.

0:06:480:06:52

We checked that on the internet. It's nothing to worry about.

0:06:520:06:55

I know, but can you just mention it, just to be safe?

0:06:550:06:57

-All right, I'll try and remember.

-And she has this funny shudder.

0:06:570:07:00

I don't know if it's normal, but can you just ask about it?

0:07:000:07:03

And she is definitely smaller than all the other babies her age.

0:07:030:07:06

-Can you ask him when she'll catch up?

-I'll not remember all this!

0:07:060:07:09

This is bloody stupid. If you want to ask questions, you take Hope

0:07:090:07:12

-and I'll stay here.

-I can't do that.

-Why not?

0:07:120:07:15

You'll be back in two hours, with all your questions answered.

0:07:150:07:18

It makes sense.

0:07:180:07:19

Sam and Ellie are here to help me out. Go and put your mind at rest.

0:07:190:07:24

-I'll look after her and help Dad.

-Exactly.

0:07:260:07:29

Right. All right. I'll be as quick as I can.

0:07:340:07:36

-Emergency contact numbers are on the fridge door...

-Fine.

0:07:360:07:39

-Er... Be good for your dad. I love you all.

-All right. Go on.

0:07:390:07:43

-See you in a bit.

-See you!

-Right...can you build me a house?

0:07:430:07:48

A nice big house that I could sleep in.

0:07:480:07:50

Go on! Let's see what you can build me, then.

0:07:500:07:53

Thanks very much. Thank you.

0:08:080:08:10

-Hi.

-Thought you weren't coming.

0:08:280:08:30

Sorry, I had to wait for a cab. Simon needed the car.

0:08:300:08:33

-Why doesn't he buy his own car?

-Ray...

-Sorry.

0:08:330:08:36

I missed you.

0:08:360:08:38

-Where did you arrange to meet?

-I said I'd ring as soon

0:08:500:08:53

-as we hit Manchester.

-Shall we go, then?

0:08:530:08:56

-Dreamt about you last night.

-Meeting Tuesday, then?

0:08:590:09:02

It was a lovely dream.

0:09:040:09:05

I was really disappointed when I woke up.

0:09:070:09:09

SHE LAUGHS

0:09:090:09:10

-Do you want to know what we were doing?

-No.

0:09:130:09:15

I'd rather leave it to the imagination. Just drive.

0:09:150:09:18

That's settled down nicely now.

0:09:240:09:26

She's going to have a nice flat tummy button.

0:09:260:09:29

Great.

0:09:290:09:30

There we are.

0:09:320:09:33

-So, have you registered the birth?

-Eh, yeah. Jude did it.

0:09:350:09:38

We've called her Davina.

0:09:380:09:40

Aw, after Davina McCall?

0:09:400:09:42

No, after me dad. She was going to be called David, if she were a boy,

0:09:420:09:46

-so...

-How is he?

-He's in sheltered housing now

0:09:460:09:49

-and he's got a warden.

-Is it nice?

-Don't know. Not been to see it.

0:09:490:09:52

-Are they going to let you keep this flat?

-Well, where else

0:09:520:09:57

are we going to go? Kim and Neil have put our name down

0:09:570:10:00

-for a council house with a garden.

-Are you managing all right

0:10:000:10:03

-in the meantime?

-We get family tax credit and Jude's wage, so...

0:10:030:10:06

That can't be very much. I'll have a word with Louise,

0:10:060:10:09

see if she can get you anything else. Look, the flat's a bit

0:10:090:10:13

of a mess, Rosie. You've got a knife on the floor there.

0:10:130:10:15

She could hurt herself if she crawled on that.

0:10:150:10:18

I were just going to tidy up before you knocked.

0:10:180:10:20

-I'll do it when you've gone.

-And are you getting dressed, love?

-Yeah.

0:10:200:10:24

I forgot to turn the immersion heater on last night

0:10:240:10:27

and there wasn't any hot water this morning to get a wash.

0:10:270:10:30

-You haven't got much in the fridge.

-Shop's due this afternoon.

0:10:300:10:33

Do you get it delivered?

0:10:330:10:35

Yeah, I get to use my vouchers and it saves me from using the steps.

0:10:350:10:40

Not getting in that lift ever again.

0:10:400:10:43

But it's working all right now. It's fine. It's important that you

0:10:430:10:47

get out and get some exercise.

0:10:470:10:49

-Well, I'm always running around after Dinah.

-I know that, love,

0:10:490:10:53

but it's important that Dinah and the baby get some fresh air, too.

0:10:530:10:58

OK, now, look. Shall we build this up?

0:11:040:11:06

We go...one right there.

0:11:060:11:08

And build it. Yeah! You want to build it, don't you?

0:11:080:11:11

We'll build this really high, like that.

0:11:110:11:14

Oh!

0:11:140:11:15

Where's it gone?

0:11:150:11:18

Where's it gone?

0:11:180:11:19

Did you see that? Will we do it one more time?

0:11:190:11:22

Mia's done six paintings. Mum puts them on the windowsill to dry.

0:11:220:11:25

All right, love. We'll build this up again, like that.

0:11:250:11:28

Make a tall one - a really tall one.

0:11:280:11:30

Oh, it's going to fall, it's going to fall!

0:11:300:11:32

It's going to fall!

0:11:320:11:34

-Argh! It's gone again!

-I've washed Mia's hands.

0:11:340:11:37

-Can she play upstairs with us now?

-Does your Mum let her do that?

0:11:370:11:40

-Yeah, and it's raining outside.

-All right, love. just keep an eye on her

0:11:400:11:44

-for me, will you?

-Mm-hm.

-Cheers, Ells. OK, right.

0:11:440:11:46

We are going to build a different one, this time.

0:11:460:11:49

This is a special one, right? Yeah? Can you knock this one down?

0:11:490:11:52

LOUD GROANING

0:11:580:12:00

Is she all right?

0:12:000:12:01

I think it's started.

0:12:010:12:03

Oh, don't worry, love. This time tomorrow, it will all be over.

0:12:030:12:06

It's not passing, Mam, it's getting worse.

0:12:060:12:09

-Just take some deep breaths.

-Once they get you upstairs,

0:12:090:12:12

they'll give you some gas and air and you won't know what day it is!

0:12:120:12:15

I'm having an epidural. I hope they have it all ready for me.

0:12:150:12:18

And make sure you get Vicky to deliver for you.

0:12:180:12:20

-Which is Vicky?

-Blonde, 30, really pretty.

0:12:200:12:23

I don't like her. Someone died when she were looking after them.

0:12:230:12:27

-I'm not having her!

-Shelly!

-You must have got that wrong.

0:12:270:12:30

I don't care. I don't want her anywhere near me.

0:12:300:12:32

Oh, God, don't tell me it gets worse than this.

0:12:320:12:35

Don't think it could've been Vicky. I'd have known. When did it happen?

0:12:350:12:38

THEY LAUGH

0:12:380:12:40

Watch this.

0:12:440:12:46

Let me try.

0:12:490:12:51

Stop it!

0:12:530:12:54

Leave me alone!

0:12:540:12:56

Leave me alone!

0:12:570:12:59

Me, next!

0:13:010:13:03

OTHERS CONTINUE ARGUING

0:13:030:13:05

Hope Manning, for Dr Raymond, please.

0:13:070:13:09

Sorry, we are running late this morning, so you might be in for

0:13:090:13:12

-a bit of a wait.

-Yeah, OK.

0:13:120:13:13

Here we go.

0:13:160:13:18

So, your waters aren't broken and you haven't had a show?

0:13:200:13:23

-A show of what?

-Blood, or...?

0:13:230:13:25

No, nothing like that. Just bloody agony.

0:13:250:13:28

You're definitely in labour. You're nearly 6cm dilated,

0:13:280:13:30

-so you're well on your way.

-Well done, love!

-Oh, shit, I think

0:13:300:13:34

-I've got another one coming.

-All right.

-They seem to be about

0:13:340:13:37

every five minutes, so it's all going as it should.

0:13:370:13:40

I don't know if it's going to come out of here.

0:13:400:13:42

I just can't see it happening.

0:13:420:13:43

Should have thought of that before you agreed to it going in!

0:13:430:13:46

Don't worry, love. Let nature take its course.

0:13:460:13:49

I said I wanted an epidural on my birthing plan.

0:13:490:13:52

OK, sweetheart, I'll get that organised.

0:13:520:13:55

Oh, God, how many more of these am I going to have?!

0:13:550:13:57

-Quite a few, love.

-As soon as this one subsides,

0:13:570:14:00

-I am going to check the baby's heart rate.

-He's not the one in pain!

0:14:000:14:03

No, but he is the star of the show, so let's make sure he's happy

0:14:030:14:07

-in there.

-It's going to be all right. Just squeeze my hand.

0:14:070:14:10

SHELLY GROANS

0:14:100:14:11

-Do you want me to ring the lads?

-Oh, God, what for?!

0:14:110:14:13

-Last thing I need is them two flapping about!

-But you promised

0:14:130:14:17

-that you'd call 'em.

-Argh!

-Oh, Shell, you're breaking my hand!

0:14:170:14:20

-Everything all right?

-Yeah, can you get me some diamorphine?

0:14:200:14:23

Shelly wants an epidural. Let the anesthetist know

0:14:230:14:25

-that she has got another labour on the list.

-I'll get Mica on it.

0:14:250:14:28

I've been summoned. Got to see Cranfield again.

0:14:280:14:30

He wants to see me an' all. I told him we were too busy.

0:14:300:14:32

I said it would have to be later. It's crazy out there.

0:14:320:14:35

Mica is in delivery room three. You'll have to ring Sonia.

0:14:350:14:37

And get back here as soon as you can, cos we need you here.

0:14:370:14:40

-Vicky, don't worry, love, it'll be all right.

-Thanks.

0:14:400:14:43

-I don't want her looking after me.

-Vicky? She's a brilliant midwife.

0:14:450:14:48

You and your baby couldn't be in better hands.

0:14:480:14:52

Shall we knock it down? Are you ready? Whoo!

0:15:020:15:04

It's gone again! Where's it gone?

0:15:040:15:06

That was a big one. I think we should build it bigger and taller.

0:15:120:15:15

What do you think?

0:15:150:15:16

DULL THUD

0:15:160:15:17

What's going on?!

CHILD CRYING

0:15:180:15:20

Shall we build it again? Ellie?!

0:15:200:15:22

FOOTSTEPS ON STAIRS

0:15:220:15:23

-What's happened?

-She fell off the bed and she's hurt her arm.

0:15:230:15:26

-Christ! I told you to watch her!

-I'm sorry. I don't know what happened.

0:15:260:15:30

Are you OK?

0:15:300:15:31

SHE WEEPS

0:15:310:15:32

OK, OK, darling. I know it hurts. Let me just... Can I just feel it?

0:15:320:15:35

OK, OK...

0:15:350:15:37

(Oh, shit.)

0:15:420:15:43

OK, OK, OK...

0:15:430:15:46

It's OK. OK, I've got you.

0:15:470:15:49

-Hope Manning?

-Yeah.

-If you'd just like to come through,

0:15:520:15:55

-then we can make a start on your pre-assessment.

-Yeah.

0:15:550:15:59

OK, let me just put this... I know it hurts. It's OK. OK, darling.

0:16:020:16:07

-Let me just...

-Chocolate biscuit, your favourite.

0:16:070:16:09

Don't give her a biscuit! She might need an operation.

0:16:090:16:12

-Is it broken?

-I don't know.

0:16:120:16:14

Just don't give her anything. Sam, pass me the phone.

0:16:140:16:16

I need the phone. Pass it to me.

0:16:160:16:18

Don't give her nowt to eat.

0:16:200:16:22

All right, all right.

0:16:220:16:23

OK, OK, I'm sorry.

0:16:230:16:24

I know, I know, I know. Just hold it there.

0:16:240:16:26

Ellie, just support that.

0:16:260:16:28

Thank you. Look after these two.

0:16:280:16:30

OLDER CHILDREN START ARGUING

0:16:300:16:32

-'Hi, this is Diane. Leave a message...'

-Shit!

0:16:320:16:36

She's a lot smaller than her brother and some of my friends'

0:16:360:16:39

babies that are roughly the same age.

0:16:390:16:42

Right, well, the doctor will talk it through with you.

0:16:420:16:44

-Seems a very happy little soul.

-Yeah, I worry about that, as well.

0:16:440:16:48

-Is she crawling or...?

-No, she just shuffles along on her bottom,

0:16:480:16:52

-but she doesn't pull herself up like her twin brother does.

-OK.

0:16:520:16:55

If you just want to get her dressed. I'm so sorry, you might have

0:16:550:16:59

a bit more of a wait.

0:16:590:17:00

-Yeah, I will do.

-Wait for me. Listen.

0:17:020:17:06

-You'll ring me as soon as you've had the scan?

-Yes!

0:17:060:17:08

-Are they going to be taking blood again?

-I don't know.

-If they do,

0:17:080:17:11

tell them to be more gentle. You had a big bruise last time.

0:17:110:17:15

Go back inside. She's getting cold.

0:17:150:17:17

Get that van opened, will you? Pair of them are doing my head in.

0:17:170:17:22

-Have you told them to go home yet?

-Yeah.

-Such a liar, Dev Sidhwa.

0:17:220:17:27

-I'm going to do it.

-You keep saying that and doing sod all about it.

0:17:270:17:31

Telling me what to wear, what to eat.

0:17:310:17:34

Your mam said I shouldn't be eating pickled gherkins.

0:17:340:17:36

Now, I've started craving them.

0:17:360:17:38

She's just worried about twins, that's all. They both are.

0:17:380:17:41

Right, let's do it.

0:17:420:17:44

Why don't you just admit it? You're bloody terrified of them.

0:17:510:17:53

I'm not terrified of them... Just a bit frightened.

0:17:530:17:57

PHONE RINGS

0:17:590:18:01

Oh, don't answer it.

0:18:010:18:02

No, it's... It's Rick.

0:18:020:18:04

-Leave it!

-I'll answer it now, so I don't have to ring him back.

0:18:040:18:07

Dev! God give me strength!

0:18:070:18:09

Eh, Rick, mate. Hiya. We're just on the way to Jas's check-up.

0:18:090:18:13

Can I talk later?

0:18:130:18:14

Mate... Mate, what's all that noise?

0:18:140:18:17

I've rung Diane, she's not picking up her phone.

0:18:170:18:20

I don't know what to do. Seriously, I need to get her arm looked at

0:18:200:18:23

by a doctor or at hospital. I've got no wheels.

0:18:230:18:26

Can you help me out?

0:18:260:18:27

Shit!

0:18:270:18:28

PAINED CRYING

0:18:280:18:30

How many times do I have to tell you?

0:18:320:18:34

-He's nothing but trouble.

-He's me mate, Jas.

0:18:340:18:36

What do you want me to do? Leave some kid with a broken arm?

0:18:360:18:39

Bet she hasn't really broken it. And where's Diane?

0:18:390:18:43

Put that in there so we're all ready

0:18:440:18:47

for when the doctor comes and calls, yeah?

0:18:470:18:49

Yeah, we're ready.

0:18:490:18:51

Are you warm enough? I know it hurts. I know. It's OK.

0:18:530:18:56

Where is he?!

0:18:560:18:58

Got enough problems of our own, Dev. We just drop them off and head

0:19:010:19:04

-straight to Maternity, right?

-Right.

-I mean it, Dev!

0:19:040:19:08

I'm totally stressing out.

0:19:080:19:10

They might tell me one of my twins has died.

0:19:100:19:13

They are not going to say that, baby.

0:19:130:19:15

How do you know?

0:19:150:19:16

I've not felt any movement on the right side for two days now.

0:19:170:19:20

Cos they're probably both cuddled up round the other side, right?

0:19:200:19:23

Don't you worry, baby. They're just getting comfy in there.

0:19:230:19:26

Oh, shit, he's there waiting. He must be in a right state.

0:19:270:19:30

All right, he's here now.

0:19:300:19:32

Don't know why they couldn't just get a taxi.

0:19:320:19:34

Going to take you to the hospital, get your arm looked at.

0:19:340:19:38

All right, darling. I know it hurts.

0:19:380:19:40

-Sorry, pal, I hit every bloody light.

-Dev, can you have a look

0:19:400:19:43

-at this arm, see if you think it's broken?

-I'm not good at that

0:19:430:19:46

-sort of thing.

-I think Ben's pooed his nappy.

0:19:460:19:48

-We'll change him when we get there.

-Get her in.

0:19:480:19:50

OK, you all right? All right. Lift him up. All right?

0:19:520:19:56

I'm sorry, I'm going to lift you in. It's going to hurt a little bit,

0:19:560:20:00

sweetheart, but I can't help it.

0:20:000:20:01

-SHE WAILS

-I know, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!

0:20:010:20:04

-Oh, thanks, mate, cheers.

-All right, everyone in?

0:20:040:20:06

-Yeah, let's go, mate.

-OK.

0:20:060:20:08

She promised she'd ring them as soon as she started.

0:20:080:20:10

They made me promise too.

0:20:100:20:11

Well, then, I suppose you could ring them

0:20:110:20:13

and tell them she's going to be at least a couple of hours yet.

0:20:130:20:16

You don't know them - they'll be straight down here.

0:20:160:20:19

Something like this could expose the trust to serious liability.

0:20:190:20:23

I was hoping that the hospital would support me.

0:20:240:20:27

And we will, of course.

0:20:270:20:29

It doesn't sound like it to me.

0:20:290:20:31

It sounds like you're just covering your arses.

0:20:310:20:33

I think maybe I should have my union rep here.

0:20:330:20:36

No-one's accusing you of anything or trying to apportion blame.

0:20:360:20:39

We're just trying to establish the timeline ahead of the inquest.

0:20:390:20:42

And I've told you.

0:20:420:20:44

I gather a friend of yours arrived with your baby son

0:20:440:20:47

-during the final stages of Mrs Osborne's labour.

-I don't know.

0:20:470:20:50

Who told you that? No, but she had already given birth.

0:20:500:20:53

Look, I shouldn't have even been there,

0:20:550:20:57

I was just helping out cos we were short-staffed.

0:20:570:20:59

My friend had come to drop Ben off, that is all.

0:20:590:21:02

So you had your own baby with you on the ward during your shift?

0:21:020:21:05

Well, strictly speaking, my shift was over, so...

0:21:050:21:08

You think that could have distracted you?

0:21:080:21:11

No.

0:21:110:21:13

Geraldine, the senior midwife, took him straight off me

0:21:130:21:16

and I went straight back in to check on Mrs Osborne.

0:21:160:21:19

No, I was not distracted

0:21:190:21:20

and I don't know why you're trying to make out that it was my fault.

0:21:200:21:25

-Just go there where the ambulance is.

-Someone's...

0:21:250:21:28

All right, she's all right, she's all right. We're nearly there now.

0:21:280:21:31

-I need the loo.

-Just wait until...

0:21:310:21:33

-He's pooed his pants.

-All right, Dev, quick as you can.

0:21:330:21:36

-Just pull up there.

-I've got it.

-This van reeks.

0:21:360:21:38

That's it, just stop here.

0:21:380:21:40

I know, darling, I've just got to get you out. OK.

0:21:400:21:43

You can't park that there, mate.

0:21:430:21:44

This little girl's hurt her arm, I think it might be broke.

0:21:440:21:47

-You still can't park it there.

-You just help us with our Zack.

0:21:470:21:50

-Mate, I can't wait for Jas's scan.

-Come on!

-Dev, tell him.

0:21:500:21:54

I just have, but what can I do?

0:21:540:21:56

-We're still early, right? I'll be two minutes, tops.

-Dev...

0:21:560:21:59

-Just wait here. Two minutes.

-Seriously going to kill that man.

0:21:590:22:02

OK.

0:22:020:22:03

A&E? Excuse me, A&E anywhere?

0:22:040:22:07

-Hey, do you know where A&E is?

-Left.

-Left? Down here? Down here.

0:22:070:22:12

-Sorry, mate, that way.

-What?

-Back that way, sorry.

-Come on.

0:22:120:22:16

Come on, that way. This way, come on.

0:22:160:22:18

Sorry, we're nearly there now.

0:22:180:22:21

-Are you sure?

-Yeah.

0:22:300:22:34

-I've had it textured there with sand and tar.

-I love the colours.

0:22:340:22:37

It's just the sort of thing we're looking for.

0:22:370:22:40

Could you do me something like this only much bigger? A statement piece.

0:22:400:22:44

Really bold, really bright, maybe a 10x8.

0:22:440:22:47

I can absolutely do that.

0:22:470:22:49

Moneywise, tell me if you think I'm wide off the mark,

0:22:490:22:52

but I was hoping for around six.

0:22:520:22:54

-Thousand?

-Yeah.

0:22:540:22:56

-Well, that's...

-Were you expecting more?

0:22:580:23:01

Right, OK. Erm, would eight be nearer the mark?

0:23:010:23:04

-Absolutely bang on.

She's started! Maxine just rang - she's 7cm.

0:23:110:23:14

We need to get down there!

0:23:140:23:16

Oh, erm, seems like we're going to have to go.

0:23:160:23:18

Not even got time to get changed to meet my own son.

0:23:180:23:20

I've not finished the nursery curtains, I've...

0:23:200:23:23

I knew I wouldn't be ready.

0:23:230:23:24

-If I leave you a key, you can measure up.

-Yeah.

0:23:240:23:27

Where's the aromatherapy candle?

0:23:270:23:30

I put something down, I know where it is and you move it!

0:23:300:23:32

-Oh, it's here.

-If you just press eight on the door pad

0:23:320:23:34

when you leave, the alarm will set itself.

0:23:340:23:36

Don't worry about me. I know what it's like.

0:23:360:23:38

This time last year, I was panicking when my girlfriend went into labour.

0:23:380:23:41

-OK.

-Hi.

-Hey, yeah, I had to call - I've got a commission!

0:24:010:24:05

Simon, that's great! Well done.

0:24:050:24:07

-Listen, can I call you later?

-Yeah.

0:24:070:24:09

I think they're actually going to pay me eight grand.

0:24:090:24:11

-That's really good.

-Yeah.

0:24:110:24:12

He's loaded, you should see his apartment.

0:24:120:24:15

He's the son of the woman that Mum spoke to at the golf club.

0:24:150:24:18

-That's amazing.

-Yeah. He's just left me to measure up.

0:24:180:24:22

Him and his partner are going to have a baby

0:24:220:24:24

and their girl's just gone into labour.

0:24:240:24:26

Ro, this could be the start of something really big.

He's got other properties which he does interior designs for as well.

0:24:280:24:31

-Listen, I'm really going to have to go. I...

-Where are you?

0:24:310:24:34

Manchester. I've come up to see Kyle.

0:24:340:24:36

He's not happy on his course - I just want to know what's going on.

0:24:360:24:39

Oh, right, well, you never said.

0:24:390:24:41

Yeah, well, you left so early in the morning I didn't have a chance.

0:24:410:24:45

-Well, what about the interview?

-What interview?

0:24:450:24:48

The one you said you were going for.

0:24:480:24:50

Oh, yeah, yeah. Mm, they cancelled.

0:24:500:24:53

-Said they didn't want to see me again.

-Oh.

0:24:530:24:55

Great, well, that sounds like

0:24:550:24:56

they're just going to give you the job.

0:24:560:24:58

Or they've decided I'm not right for it

0:24:580:25:00

and don't want to waste their time.

0:25:000:25:02

Listen, Si, I've really got to go. Kyle's here now, so...

0:25:020:25:05

All right, well, give him my best.

0:25:050:25:08

-Yeah, I will.

-Love you.

You too.

0:25:100:25:11

-Good news?

-Yeah, yeah, I think so.

0:25:190:25:21

-You OK?

-Not really, no.

0:25:220:25:24

I'm a bloody terrible liar.

0:25:240:25:27

I can't remember what I've said to him from one minute to the next.

0:25:270:25:30

I told him I had a job interview last night

0:25:300:25:32

and now he thinks I've got a bloody job.

0:25:320:25:34

You have got a job, your old job.

0:25:340:25:36

With salary, holiday pay, a car when you want it.

0:25:360:25:40

I do want my old job back, seriously.

0:25:400:25:42

God, it's so hard. I just don't want it to be like this.

0:25:430:25:47

-Like what?

-Torn, lying.

0:25:470:25:50

-It's horrible.

-You told him the truth.

0:25:500:25:53

We're here to see Kyle. He's your son.

0:25:540:25:58

I just failed to mention that I was here with you.

0:25:580:26:00

You don't have to tell him everything.

0:26:000:26:03

-Did he ask?

-No.

-Well, then.

0:26:030:26:05

But we both know where this is headed, Ray.

0:26:070:26:09

Thank you.

0:26:120:26:13

-Did the money come into your bank?

-Yes, thank you.

0:26:160:26:19

That's just the first part of the settlement.

0:26:190:26:22

The rest should be in by the end of the month.

0:26:220:26:24

Thanks, Ray.

0:26:240:26:26

So, have you started looking at houses?

0:26:260:26:28

No, haven't had time.

0:26:280:26:29

To tell you the truth, I've been confused.

0:26:310:26:34

-What about?

-About everything. About what to do.

0:26:340:26:36

-We should really stop this, Ray, it's not fair.

-Stop what?

0:26:380:26:41

We're not doing anything.

0:26:410:26:43

We're simply trying to work out where things went wrong between us.

0:26:430:26:47

Don't you think we owe that to ourselves? To our kids?

0:26:470:26:50

For God's sake, we were inseparable for 20 years.

0:26:500:26:54

It was Ray and Roanna, Roanna and Ray.

0:26:540:26:56

Don't beat yourself up about something that's perfectly natural.

0:26:590:27:03

Hey. Look at you two - get a room.

0:27:050:27:08

Son!

0:27:090:27:10

-So, what's going on here, then?

-Sorting a few things out.

0:27:110:27:15

Well, that's great news.

0:27:150:27:17

-Well, this is Lydia.

-Hiya, you all right?

0:27:170:27:20

-I'm Ray, Kyle's dad.

-Hiya.

-We're on the same course.

0:27:200:27:23

Oh, hi, Lydia, very pleased to meet you.

0:27:230:27:25

Hiya, you too.

0:27:250:27:26

Can you shift this van right now, please?

0:27:330:27:35

I can't shift anything, I'm expecting twins.

0:27:350:27:37

I don't care if you're expecting quads, love,

0:27:370:27:39

-this bay's reserved for ambulances only.

-Charming!

0:27:390:27:42

-He's taken the bloody keys.

-Right.

0:27:420:27:45

Dial M.

0:27:460:27:47

Well, her weight's a little under what it should be

0:27:490:27:51

-and it's the same for her height.

-I know, I know.

0:27:510:27:55

She's a bit behind on her development.

0:27:550:27:57

But...

0:27:580:28:00

I'm very pleased to say I've no major concerns at this time,

0:28:000:28:03

so you've nothing to worry about.

0:28:030:28:05

Overall, she's doing really well and I'm confident she'll soon catch up.

0:28:050:28:09

Oh, my God. I can't believe it, thank you.

0:28:090:28:12

-Not a problem.

-I was...

0:28:120:28:14

Well, I was expecting bad news. I...

0:28:150:28:17

I can't wait to tell my husband.

0:28:190:28:21

Hey, tell Daddy. Tell Daddy when we get home.

0:28:240:28:26

Right, I'm really going to have to go, I'm going to be in so much shit.

0:28:280:28:31

Sorry, Dev. Thanks for everything, mate,

0:28:310:28:32

don't know what I'd have done without you.

0:28:320:28:34

Will you be all right getting back?

0:28:340:28:36

Yeah, I'm going to ring Diane again in a minute.

0:28:360:28:38

She'll be on her way home soon so she'll turn her phone back on.

0:28:380:28:40

Listen, I hope Jas's scan goes all right, you know,

0:28:400:28:43

and the babies are hanging on in there.

0:28:430:28:44

They will be, fingers crossed. I'll ring you when I'm leaving.

0:28:440:28:47

-If you're still here, I'll...

-No, mate, we'll be fine. You go.

0:28:470:28:50

-Thanks, pal.

-Yeah, no worries.

0:28:500:28:52

I think he's frightened of Jasmin.

0:28:530:28:54

No, he just wants what's best for her. They're having twins.

0:28:540:28:57

We both know how hard that is, don't we?

0:28:570:28:59

Mum had a right fat belly when she had Hope and Zack.

0:28:590:29:01

That wasn't a fat belly - she had babies in there, mate.

0:29:010:29:04

-Is she all right?

-We'll have a much better idea when we get

0:29:040:29:06

the X-ray results, but it looks like a greenstick fracture.

0:29:060:29:09

Don't worry, we'll look after her.

0:29:090:29:11

When will we be able to take her home?

0:29:110:29:13

Your daughter'll almost certainly need a plaster cast.

0:29:130:29:15

No, she's not my daughter, I was just looking after her.

0:29:150:29:18

-Right.

-I'm his daughter.

-Yeah.

0:29:180:29:20

What happened is my wife - she's a childminder -

0:29:200:29:22

-and I was looking after Mia when she was out.

-I see.

0:29:220:29:26

She might need some sedation to manipulate the bone

0:29:260:29:28

back into alignment, and we'll need her parents' consent for that.

0:29:280:29:31

All right, bloody hell. Erm...

0:29:310:29:34

I think I left the number on the fridge door at home.

0:29:340:29:37

My wife, she's here, she'll have it.

0:29:370:29:38

She's in the children's department with our baby girl.

0:29:380:29:41

Hope's having her assessment today.

0:29:410:29:43

-That's why my dad's looking after us.

-Yeah.

0:29:430:29:46

OK.

0:29:460:29:47

So, if you'd all like to follow me.

0:29:470:29:49

OK, erm, can you just grab that for us? You all right?

0:29:490:29:52

Yeah, it's fine.

0:29:520:29:53

All right. Over here.

0:29:530:29:55

Sorry, sorry, sorry.

0:30:000:30:01

Shit!

0:30:020:30:04

Have you seen my wife, mate? She was in the van.

0:30:040:30:06

She had a row with the car park attendant and they went inside.

0:30:060:30:09

Think she got tired of waiting.

0:30:090:30:10

I'm not going to be able to move it with that

0:30:100:30:12

stuck on the bloody windscreen.

0:30:120:30:14

-Why didn't you say anything?

-I told you not to park it there.

0:30:160:30:19

Sitting there eating your sandwich.

0:30:210:30:23

Doesn't even bloody come off.

0:30:250:30:27

-Vicky!

-Hiya. I saw you were booked in for your scan today. How are you?

0:30:350:30:39

Pissed off with Dev.

0:30:390:30:40

He went racing off with Rick and just left me here

0:30:400:30:42

and I had this barney with the car park attendant.

0:30:420:30:44

-What time's your scan booked for?

-Now.

0:30:440:30:47

And he knows how nervous I am about it.

0:30:470:30:49

-Well, if he's not back in time, I'll come in with you.

-Thank you.

0:30:490:30:52

-Hey, how did she get on?

-Brilliant.

0:30:520:30:55

Doctor Inman said he has no concerns and that she's doing really well.

0:30:550:30:59

Honestly, it was such a relief, I could have

0:30:590:31:01

flung my arms around him and kissed him.

0:31:010:31:03

-That's great news.

-Yeah.

0:31:030:31:04

I just hope both of mine are all right as well.

0:31:060:31:09

Hey.

0:31:090:31:10

There we go.

0:31:140:31:15

I thought I did the right thing. I brought her in as fast as I could.

0:31:150:31:18

-Could you just explain how the injury happened?

-I told you.

0:31:180:31:21

Now you can tell me.

0:31:210:31:24

Well, I didn't really see.

0:31:240:31:25

She was playing upstairs and then she fell off the bed.

0:31:250:31:28

-She was trying to jump like me and Sam.

-You were with her all the time?

0:31:280:31:31

-Yeah.

-We both were.

0:31:310:31:33

You say your wife's a registered childminder.

0:31:330:31:36

Yeah, she has been for the best part of a year now.

0:31:360:31:38

My nana comes and helps, though, sometimes.

0:31:380:31:41

-Have you been DBS checked?

-I don't even know what that is.

0:31:410:31:44

It's a police check to make sure you're fit to look after children.

0:31:440:31:47

No, no, I don't need to be cos I'm not the one who's looking

0:31:470:31:50

after them. Well, not normally.

0:31:500:31:51

It's my wife, I was just helping out for a couple of hours.

0:31:510:31:54

And now we have an injured three-year-old without

0:31:540:31:56

a parent or guardian and no contact details for them.

0:31:560:31:59

That's why I keep telling you to call my wife.

0:31:590:32:01

She's on floor three in the children's clinic

0:32:010:32:03

-with our little girl.

-Do you want me to go see if I can find her?

0:32:030:32:05

-No, stay there.

-I don't think you realise

0:32:050:32:07

how serious this is, Mr Manning.

0:32:070:32:09

I didn't believe it when she told me.

0:32:170:32:19

No, neither did I at first. It seemed unreal.

0:32:190:32:22

I mean, one minute she was sat up in bed laughing and then...

0:32:220:32:25

the next she'd gone.

0:32:250:32:27

You're frightening me to death.

0:32:270:32:29

I'm sorry, Jas.

0:32:290:32:31

Listen, I must have delivered thousands of babies

0:32:310:32:33

and I have never lost a mother once, never.

0:32:330:32:36

And I hope to God I never lose one again.

0:32:370:32:40

There has to be a proper inquest and everything.

0:32:420:32:44

-I've had to be interviewed.

-Oh, that must have been awful.

0:32:440:32:47

They go over and over it.

0:32:470:32:49

I suppose the trust has to decide what's best for the hospital.

0:32:490:32:53

I just... I just hope it wasn't something I did.

0:32:530:32:56

No, don't be silly.

0:32:560:32:57

Look, I've got to go. I've left Rick at home with all the kids.

0:33:000:33:04

Oh, I totally forgot!

0:33:040:33:05

He's over in A&E with that girl that you look after.

0:33:050:33:08

Yeah, she's hurt her arm.

0:33:080:33:10

RICK: 'We're on our way to hospital now. Call us back when you get this.'

0:33:170:33:20

-'He reeks!'

-'Don't worry about that.

0:33:200:33:22

'Mia, it's all right, we're nearly there now.'

0:33:220:33:25

Shit! Rick, what have you done now?

0:33:250:33:27

We should have just waited for the lift.

0:33:270:33:29

We can't wait for the lift, it's too slow.

0:33:290:33:31

Argh, the pain's getting worse.

0:33:340:33:37

I thought this epidural thing was supposed to be doing summat.

0:33:370:33:40

You've not had it in long, love.

0:33:400:33:42

You'll start getting some relief any minute, sweetheart.

0:33:420:33:45

Only us! Is everything all right?

0:33:450:33:48

Oh, bloody hell, cavalry's arrived.

0:33:480:33:51

-Who rang you?

-Sorry, love.

-NATHAN: How's the baby?

0:33:510:33:53

Baby and Mummy are both doing fine.

0:33:530:33:55

No, I'm not, I'm in bloody agony.

0:33:550:33:57

We got here just as fast as we could. Is there anything we can do?

0:33:570:33:59

Have you given her anything for the pain?

0:33:590:34:01

Er, yeah, she's had an epidural, gas and air,

0:34:010:34:03

diamorphine - she's had everything she can take.

0:34:030:34:06

It's very bright in here.

0:34:060:34:07

Do you not think it should be a bit darker for when baby comes out?

0:34:070:34:10

No, sweetheart, cos I have to be able to see what I'm doing.

0:34:100:34:13

-How are you both?

-Nervous.

0:34:130:34:15

I don't know what you've got to be nervous about,

0:34:150:34:17

it's me who has to shove this thing out of my fanny!

0:34:170:34:19

SHE SQUEALS

0:34:190:34:21

Is she OK?

0:34:260:34:27

8.5cm. The epidural should start kicking in any minute.

0:34:270:34:30

-Oh, it hasn't yet!

-I know what'll help.

0:34:300:34:32

Jasmine and neroli.

0:34:340:34:35

I couldn't remember where I'd put it but it's brilliant.

0:34:350:34:37

You won't believe how relaxing this is.

0:34:370:34:39

That'll be loads better(!)

0:34:390:34:40

You can't burn that in here - it's health and safety.

0:34:400:34:43

We've got gas canisters.

0:34:430:34:44

We got you these.

0:34:450:34:47

-Oh, I'll take them.

-Aww.

-I'll find you something.

0:34:470:34:50

-They're beautiful.

-Thank you.

0:34:500:34:53

Look, why don't we just give her a bit of a breather, eh?

0:34:530:34:55

You know, just for a little bit, until the epidural starts working.

0:34:550:34:58

She'll be feeling loads better then.

0:34:580:35:00

Be nice! Back in a tick.

0:35:030:35:06

SHE GROANS

0:35:060:35:08

Sometimes, babies go quiet when they're getting ready to be born.

0:35:100:35:13

It doesn't mean there's anything wrong.

0:35:130:35:15

Let's just see what the consultant says, OK?

0:35:150:35:18

-Sorry, baby, sorry. I've been waiting round the other side.

-What for?

0:35:180:35:21

I don't know.

0:35:210:35:22

Because I forgot it was this side and I had to move the van

0:35:220:35:25

and scrape that big sticky notice off windscreen.

0:35:250:35:27

-Are you going to be all right now?

-Yeah. Thanks for waiting with me.

0:35:270:35:30

-No, it's no problem, I'll call you tonight, OK?

-Cheers, Vicky.

0:35:300:35:33

-Sorry.

-One of the mums died last week after she'd given birth.

0:35:330:35:38

Oh, God, you're not going to start worrying about that now, are you?

0:35:380:35:41

-It's serious, Dev.

-How are you feeling?

-Fine.

0:35:410:35:44

It says "bearable discomfort" in the book I read,

0:35:440:35:46

and it doesn't look like that to me.

0:35:460:35:48

Well, they're not going to say it's excruciating agony, are they,

0:35:480:35:51

or nobody would ever have a baby!

0:35:510:35:52

-How's she getting on?

-Oh, 8.5cm and she's had an epidural.

-OK, great.

0:35:520:35:56

-So everything is going according to plan, then?

-Yeah.

-Lovely.

0:35:560:35:59

-She don't want her in there.

-Really, why not?

0:36:020:36:04

Somebody died the other day when she were looking after 'em

0:36:040:36:07

-and our Shelly were here.

-Well, I'm not surprised then.

0:36:070:36:09

You mean she actually died while she was in labour?

0:36:090:36:11

-After she had given birth.

-That's terrible. Did the baby live?

0:36:110:36:14

-Yes, the baby lived.

-Well, that's not too bad.

-Oh, Andrew!

0:36:140:36:17

I didn't mean it like that. I meant for the dad, for the woman's husband. For...

0:36:170:36:21

-Shall we just go back inside?

-I don't know.

0:36:210:36:23

She's going to be a bit yet because the epidural slows everything down.

0:36:230:36:26

-But you could go and sit quietly and say nowt, and you might be all right.

-We'll do that.

0:36:260:36:30

I've just got to go somewhere, be back soon.

0:36:300:36:33

Don't worry, we won't let her die.

0:36:330:36:35

So, this is nice.

0:36:410:36:43

So, are you going to come back with us, Kyle?

0:36:450:36:48

-No, I think we'll hang around if that's all right.

-Yes, of course.

0:36:480:36:52

I've got loads of revising to do. We've got our first exams coming up.

0:36:520:36:56

But, listen, it's great to see that you two getting on all right.

0:36:560:37:01

We're trying our best.

0:37:010:37:03

That's fantastic.

0:37:030:37:05

Lovely to see you, Mum, and I'm definitely home next holiday,

0:37:050:37:08

-so...we'll catch up properly.

-Yes, of course.

0:37:080:37:11

-Very nice to meet you, Lydia.

-You, too.

0:37:110:37:13

Thanks, Dad.

0:37:130:37:14

-See ya.

-Bye!

0:37:160:37:17

-I don't understand.

-Neither do I.

0:37:210:37:24

I swear to God he was in pieces on the phone. He was packing it all in.

0:37:250:37:29

I suppose he's met the lovely Lydia and that's what love does for you.

0:37:290:37:34

I'll get the bill.

0:37:340:37:35

What were you thinking, letting her jump on the bed? She's three!

0:37:410:37:44

-It wasn't Dad's fault.

-She was just jumping then she fell off.

0:37:440:37:48

-You should have been watching her.

-I was watching Ben and our Zack.

0:37:480:37:51

I haven't got eyes in the back of my head!

0:37:510:37:52

You have to grow them when you're looking after other people's kids.

0:37:520:37:55

-I knew it would be my fault.

-What am I going to tell her mum when she turns up?

-I don't know.

0:37:550:37:59

Mr and Mrs Manning? Rita Milligan, social services.

0:37:590:38:03

I am so sorry, Mrs Milligan. This is not how it looks.

0:38:030:38:05

OK, well, as I am sure you already know, the hospital social care

0:38:050:38:08

worker called us in relation to a child protection issue.

0:38:080:38:11

No, this is not a child protection issue. My husband...

0:38:110:38:13

A child was left in your care, Mrs Manning.

0:38:130:38:16

A child you were paid to look after under licence from the local

0:38:160:38:19

authority. However, you left her alone with your husband...

0:38:190:38:22

Look, look, it were me. I told Diane to leave.

0:38:220:38:25

Our daughter had an appointment this morning.

0:38:250:38:27

Diane didn't want to go but I made her because she was worried about her.

0:38:270:38:30

But what made you think you were qualified to look after somebody else's child?

0:38:300:38:34

I didn't know you needed bloody qualifications to look after a child!

0:38:340:38:37

You know, when I was a kid, my mum used to go door knocking to see

0:38:370:38:39

if any of the neighbours could look after me when she went to work.

0:38:390:38:42

-Fortunately, things have changed. I'm afraid I am going to have to report this.

-Great.

0:38:420:38:47

OK, then. Let's see what we can see.

0:39:050:39:07

The fluid levels are looking good.

0:39:170:39:19

Pretty much where I'd expect them to be, so that's encouraging.

0:39:190:39:23

-Just need to check...

-What is it?

0:39:230:39:25

-Looks like we have some chorioamniotic separation.

-Is that bad?

0:39:250:39:29

It just means that part of the placenta

0:39:290:39:31

has separated from the wall of the uterus.

0:39:310:39:34

It's every bloody time we come in here.

0:39:340:39:36

What else is going to go wrong?

0:39:360:39:37

-That's it, you're having a vasectomy.

-What, how is it my fault?

0:39:390:39:44

And there it is, baby A.

0:39:440:39:46

-Oh, Jas, look at that. Its heart beating.

-It's good, strong.

0:39:480:39:52

Nice and steady.

0:39:520:39:54

HEARTBEAT

0:39:540:39:59

And here is baby B.

0:40:070:40:09

I can't see the heartbeat.

0:40:120:40:14

-I can't hear anything.

-Let's keep looking.

0:40:140:40:16

-It's a little crowded in there.

-I can't!

-Sh, sh, shh.

0:40:160:40:20

HEARTBEAT

0:40:270:40:29

And another good heartbeat.

0:40:290:40:31

Yes! I told you!

0:40:310:40:35

-I told you. Little fighters.

-I'm trying to see baby!

0:40:360:40:41

If you still want to know their sex, I can tell you now, if you like?

0:40:430:40:47

You know, I don't know why I ever cared about that.

0:40:470:40:49

They are healthy, and that's all that matters.

0:40:490:40:52

That's why I married him!

0:40:520:40:53

-I do love you sometimes.

-Just not all the time, though, hey?

0:40:550:40:57

You drive me mad!

0:40:570:40:58

I love you.

0:41:010:41:02

-So the laser worked then?

-Well, from what I can see here, yes, it has.

0:41:050:41:10

-Thank you.

-What about the placenta?

0:41:100:41:12

It doesn't require any immediate action,

0:41:120:41:14

but we will keep a really close eye on you.

0:41:140:41:16

HE CHEERS

0:41:160:41:18

-Love you.

-Love you.

0:41:210:41:22

-Oh, got it on my bloody hand! Sorry!

-He's just excited.

0:41:240:41:28

-I can't believe it.

-It's your dad here.

0:41:280:41:30

I'm bloody proud of you.

0:41:300:41:32

What about when your mum looks after the kids?

0:41:370:41:40

She's on the licence and she's been checked.

0:41:400:41:42

My friend drew a picture on her pot.

0:41:420:41:44

We could do that tomorrow and put some sparkles on it?

0:41:440:41:47

She might not be here tomorrow, love.

0:41:470:41:49

-I forgot to ask. What did they say about Hope?

-She's here.

0:41:520:41:56

What the hell's she done?

0:41:560:41:58

I'm sorry, it's broken,

0:41:580:41:59

but they didn't have to give her an anaesthetic to set it, so...

0:41:590:42:02

My poor little baby!

0:42:020:42:04

-It's not as bad as it looks...

-It's a broken bloody arm!

0:42:040:42:07

That's bad enough!

0:42:070:42:09

-What the hell happened?

-She fell off the bed.

-It was an accident!

0:42:090:42:12

I was looking after her. It was my fault.

0:42:120:42:15

I don't pay you to look after my daughter. Where were you?

0:42:150:42:17

I was here. I had to take Hope for an appointment,

0:42:170:42:20

but it could have happened when I was with her. I'm sorry.

0:42:200:42:22

You have to bring her back in six weeks to get it taken off.

0:42:220:42:26

Bloody great.

0:42:260:42:28

-I'm really sorry.

-You're sorry?! My daughter's in plaster.

0:42:280:42:31

God knows how long I'm going to have to take off work for this.

0:42:310:42:35

-She's a bit cross.

-She certainly is.

-It wasn't Dad's fault though.

0:42:400:42:45

-Can I just say that you were dead brave in there.

-I know I was.

0:42:480:42:51

We should phone home and give them the good news.

0:42:510:42:54

Yes, and go somewhere and have something to eat.

0:42:540:42:56

I right fancy some pickled gherkins. And we can go on our own without our mums!

0:42:560:43:00

-Hey, Rick! Everything all right with the little girl?

-She broke an arm.

0:43:030:43:06

-She's got it in plaster.

-Oh, shit, poor little thing.

0:43:060:43:08

And we've just had a run-in with her mother.

0:43:080:43:10

I had a barney with a car park attendant.

0:43:100:43:12

-Diane, did you tell her it was an accident?

-Of course.

0:43:120:43:14

Did you know you've got to have qualifications to look after kids

0:43:140:43:17

-these days?

-No...

-Yeah.

0:43:170:43:19

-Looks like I'm going to be reported to the council.

-Diane, I'm so sorry.

0:43:190:43:23

-What are they going to do?

-I don't know. Probably read me the riot act.

0:43:230:43:27

-Anyway, the most important thing is Hope is all right.

-Yeah.

0:43:270:43:30

-Yeah, and so are both my twins.

-Oh, that's great news!

0:43:300:43:34

-I'm starving!

-Yeah, me too, mate. How about we grab something to eat?

0:43:340:43:37

Oh, we can't, mate, we can't afford it, pal.

0:43:370:43:40

-It's just Jas could do with a break from our mothers.

-Yeah.

0:43:400:43:42

-Why don't you come to ours? I'll make something.

-Are you sure?

0:43:420:43:45

We haven't got enough baby seats in our car, so have to cadge a lift anyway.

0:43:450:43:48

I'm not sure we can take Ben, though, in case it's illegal.

0:43:480:43:51

Yes, he's in enough trouble with leaving Amber in t'van, so...

0:43:510:43:54

All right, Jas, do you have to keep bringing that up?!

0:43:540:43:56

-Well, I tell you what, why don't me and Zack go with you?

-Yeah, OK.

0:43:560:43:59

-All right.

-Come on, let's go.

0:43:590:44:01

Mate, that's great news about Hope, though.

0:44:010:44:04

-And about the twins.

-Cheers, thanks.

0:44:040:44:07

You wouldn't have made it up about Kyle being depressed, would you?

0:44:100:44:14

No. Why would I do that?

0:44:140:44:16

So we could travel to Manchester together.

0:44:180:44:20

-You did, didn't you?

-No.

0:44:220:44:24

-Someone told them about Diane turning up.

-Well, it weren't me.

0:44:390:44:43

-Did they give you any idea what will happen next?

-No, I'm going to have to try and not think about it

0:44:430:44:47

until after the coroner's hearing.

0:44:470:44:48

Can you help? There something wrong with Shelly.

0:44:480:44:51

-I don't think the epidural's working.

-OK, sweetheart, I'm coming.

0:44:510:44:55

SHE WAILS IN PAIN

0:44:560:44:59

-That's it. That's it. Go on, take another big breath.

-I am!

0:45:020:45:06

The more you breathe in, the easier it'll get.

0:45:060:45:09

That's what it said on the DVD we sent you.

0:45:090:45:11

-I didn't watch the bloody DVD.

-What's the matter, love?

0:45:110:45:14

-Are you getting no relief at all?

-It's killing me!

0:45:140:45:17

-Where's me mam?

-I don't know, she headed off somewhere.

0:45:170:45:20

-There's still plenty in there. Who did it?

-Jane.

-She's a crap anaesthetist.

0:45:200:45:24

I'm just going to check on you to see what is going on.

0:45:240:45:26

Just let your knees flop to the side, sweetheart.

0:45:260:45:29

You all right there, darling?

0:45:310:45:32

If you can just pop them to the side like that, darling.

0:45:320:45:35

I can do it myself, thanks! No offence, but she's sorting me out.

0:45:350:45:39

It's all right, lovely, I was trying to help you. I thought your legs might have started to go numb.

0:45:390:45:43

Well they haven't, yet.

0:45:430:45:45

Why do I have to have two midwives?

0:45:450:45:47

SHE BREATHES HEAVILY

0:45:480:45:51

You don't. It's all right.

0:45:510:45:53

Sorry, excuse me.

0:45:540:45:55

There was no need for that.

0:45:550:45:57

She was just trying to help.

0:45:570:45:59

Someone died when she were looking after 'em!

0:46:030:46:05

You all right, love? She's just a kid.

0:46:080:46:10

She don't know what she's saying.

0:46:100:46:12

She does, she knows exactly what she's saying.

0:46:120:46:14

Maybe she's right, maybe I am a terrible midwife.

0:46:140:46:17

Maybe it's my fault that Helen died.

0:46:170:46:19

Now, you stop that right now, that's absolute rubbish.

0:46:190:46:22

I think I'm going to pack it in.

0:46:220:46:24

No, you're blooming not, and I don't want to hear you say

0:46:240:46:27

anything like that ever again, do you hear me?

0:46:270:46:29

You are a good midwife, one of the best,

0:46:290:46:30

and I've seen plenty in my time.

0:46:300:46:32

-You were born to do this.

-I don't think so, Geraldine.

0:46:320:46:35

-She's not had it, has she?

-No, she hasn't started pushing yet.

0:46:350:46:38

Oh, thank God, she'd have killed me. I got lost.

0:46:380:46:40

-This place is a ruddy maze!

-I've got to get back in.

0:46:400:46:43

You go and finish your break and don't think about it.

0:46:430:46:45

I can't think about anything else.

0:46:450:46:47

-Ahhh!

-Where the hell have you been?!

0:46:510:46:54

I'm sorry, love, I was just popping out for a ciggy

0:46:540:46:57

when I just saw this lass brought in who'd collapsed in Trinity Centre.

0:46:570:47:00

This nurse asked me to come with them, because they thought it might be Louis' mam.

0:47:000:47:04

-They wanted me to see if it was the same lass I saw before I found him.

-Was it her?

0:47:040:47:08

Well, I only saw her for a couple of seconds so it was hard to tell.

0:47:080:47:11

But it might have been, though. Anyway, sorry, love.

0:47:110:47:13

-How are you doing?

-It hurts. This pipe thing is good.

0:47:130:47:18

All my birthing mums love the gas and air. Can you feel that?

0:47:180:47:22

-Yeah, I can feel every bloody thing!

-I'm sorry, sweetheart.

0:47:220:47:25

-It looks like the epidural hasn't taken. It happens sometimes.

-Why me?

0:47:250:47:29

-Can you do it again?

-No, sweetheart, she's nearly there now.

0:47:290:47:31

And I reckon she's ready to push with this next contraction.

0:47:310:47:34

It hurts, Mam!

0:47:340:47:35

-I know, darling, but you are doing so well.

-Get this bloody thing out!

0:47:350:47:40

-It's not a thing!

-I wouldn't, love. Can you feel another one coming?

0:47:400:47:44

Yeah!

0:47:440:47:46

-Right, knees up, chin down, that's it, and push.

-Push, Shelly!

0:47:460:47:50

-Keep pushing!

-That's it, Shelly, push!

0:47:500:47:53

Don't give up, you can do it, love!

0:47:530:47:55

-I can't do anything, Mam!

-Lovely.

0:47:550:47:58

Do you know what, I think I can just see a bit of its head.

0:47:580:48:00

-Is it alright if they have a look, Shelly?

-Whatever. Where's my pipe?

0:48:000:48:04

There, there.

0:48:050:48:07

-Come on. That's it, sweetheart.

-Oh, God. I feel a bit...

0:48:080:48:15

-Nathan, are you all right?

-Just rest a minute until the next one.

0:48:150:48:20

-Oh...

-Are you all right?

0:48:200:48:23

It's OK! It's OK, just take a minute.

0:48:230:48:26

-Yeah?

-Yeah.

0:48:260:48:28

Yeah.

0:48:300:48:31

Oooh.

0:48:320:48:34

It's OK.

0:48:340:48:35

You know, I've read the books, and I've watched the DVDs,

0:48:370:48:39

but you don't...

0:48:390:48:41

-They don't quite prepare you for the real thing, do they?

-No.

0:48:410:48:45

-I mean, it's all just so...

-It's only natural.

0:48:450:48:48

It's OK to be a bit nervous about it. It's a big thing.

0:48:480:48:52

-But, listen, it's also an amazing one.

-I know, I know, just...

0:48:520:48:55

It's all suddenly very real.

0:48:570:48:59

Honestly, it's OK to panic a bit about it.

0:48:590:49:01

But as soon as you get your little boy in your arms,

0:49:010:49:04

it will all be worthwhile.

0:49:040:49:05

Yeah.

0:49:070:49:09

Yeah.

0:49:090:49:10

Look, I can't imagine life without my Ben.

0:49:110:49:13

He is the best thing that ever happened to me.

0:49:130:49:16

You'll love being a daddy.

0:49:190:49:21

-I'm sorry.

-It's OK. It's all right.

0:49:210:49:24

It's going to be OK. All right?

0:49:240:49:27

-Yeah, sorry.

-All right. It's OK! It's all right.

0:49:270:49:30

OK, sweetheart, keep pushing! Keep pushing!

0:49:320:49:35

SHE YELLS IN PAIN I can't do it any more!

0:49:350:49:39

-Yes, you can...

-I can't do it!

-Are you feeling better?

-Yes, you can.

0:49:390:49:42

Just tuck your chin into your chest again.

0:49:420:49:44

Come on, love, and you should be crowning with this next contraction.

0:49:440:49:47

-The head will be out.

-Come on, Shelly, you can do it!

0:49:470:49:51

One more big push!

0:49:510:49:52

That's it, love, that's it! Keep going, keep going... Keep pushing!

0:49:540:49:59

-Nearly there!

-This is incredible!

0:49:590:50:02

-I can't watch.

-It's all right, I'm getting it all.

0:50:020:50:05

Small breaths. Pants. That's it, in and out.

0:50:050:50:08

Small, shallow breaths. That's it.

0:50:080:50:11

His head's out, oh, my God!

0:50:130:50:16

There we go!

0:50:160:50:18

BABY CRIES

0:50:180:50:19

Oh, my God!

0:50:190:50:21

There you go. Beautiful!

0:50:260:50:30

He's here! Nathan, he's here!

0:50:320:50:35

I'm just going to get a towel now. Just going to get a towel.

0:50:370:50:41

Oh, come on, he's beautiful!

0:50:410:50:46

We did it, Nathan, we did it!

0:50:540:50:56

We? Excuse me, I did it.

0:50:570:51:00

EVERYONE LAUGHS

0:51:000:51:01

Of course you did!

0:51:010:51:03

He's so beautiful.

0:51:070:51:08

Sweetheart, there we go.

0:51:170:51:20

He is a beauty.

0:51:210:51:22

Look at his little face, look!

0:51:290:51:31

He's just gorgeous.

0:51:320:51:33

-You've got something to smile about, now it's all over, Shelly.

-Yes.

0:51:330:51:37

No more debt and no more 10 tonne Tessie.

0:51:370:51:41

Did we tell you that we're thinking about calling him Sebastian?

0:51:410:51:44

-Sebastian? That's a bit posh, innit?

-Well, we like it.

0:51:440:51:47

Who's going to hold the baby while I take Shelly's blood-pressure?

0:51:470:51:50

Me, I want to hold him!

0:51:500:51:51

-Careful with him.

-Come on.

0:51:560:51:59

-How are you feeling, sweetheart?

-Don't know, really.

0:52:010:52:05

-Glad I'm still alive.

-You were amazing.

0:52:050:52:07

You just try and relax and if you need anything, just let me know, OK?

0:52:070:52:10

-Right, shall we take Sebastian and just leave you guys in peace?

-What?

0:52:210:52:25

-You're not taking him now.

-Shelly.

-No...

0:52:250:52:29

It's too soon, I've only just had him.

0:52:300:52:32

If you want a few more minutes with him...

0:52:360:52:38

You take your time, lovely. There's no rush.

0:52:380:52:41

Yeah. We can wait until later when you're ready to leave, and we can take him then.

0:52:440:52:48

Actually, I don't think she'll be leaving tonight.

0:52:480:52:50

-Her blood pressure is a little high for my liking.

-Is she all right?

0:52:500:52:54

She'll be fine, but I'd just like to keep her in until

0:52:540:52:56

morning and let the doctor have a look at her before she goes home.

0:52:560:52:59

And to all give us a chance to get the baby all checked out.

0:52:590:53:01

You can pick him up tomorrow.

0:53:010:53:03

Oh, one night can't hurt. Trust me!

0:53:090:53:11

Once he starts crying, you'll wish you'd kept him longer! Come on.

0:53:110:53:15

Right, OK. Erm...

0:53:180:53:19

Well, we'll see you guys tomorrow.

0:53:210:53:23

Bye-bye.

0:53:320:53:33

-My beautiful little boy. Bye.

-See you.

0:53:340:53:38

It'll give you a bit of thinking time.

0:53:400:53:42

-Are you having second thoughts, love?

-I don't know.

0:53:450:53:48

Excuse me, Geraldine. Do you know where Vicky is?

0:53:520:53:55

-Yes, she finished about 10 minutes ago. Is everything all right?

-Fine.

0:53:550:53:59

The trust have made their decision. I just wanted to let her know.

0:53:590:54:03

She might still be in the staff room.

0:54:030:54:05

Thanks, love.

0:54:070:54:08

All right, sweetheart?

0:54:090:54:11

His mam makes me this gunk every morning.

0:54:160:54:19

And she sits there and watches me drink it, doesn't she?

0:54:190:54:21

-Yeah, it looks like snot!

-Has she been at yours since you had Amber?

0:54:210:54:25

Well, they went for a bit...

0:54:250:54:26

But then they came back again

0:54:260:54:28

when they found out I was pregnant with twins.

0:54:280:54:30

KNOCK AT DOOR

0:54:300:54:31

-That'll be Vicky for Ben.

-All right, I'll get it.

0:54:310:54:34

I know they're only trying to help but Amber loves them to bits.

0:54:340:54:36

Honestly, you should see her with them, but they're driving me mad!

0:54:360:54:41

Rita Milligan and Dave Carter. Can we come in, please?

0:54:410:54:44

Yeah, we've got guests, but come through. Diane, it's...

0:54:460:54:50

-The...

-What is it?

-Is there somewhere we can speak privately?

0:54:500:54:54

It's all right, these are my friends.

0:54:540:54:56

-We'll go.

-No, it's fine, stay there.

0:54:560:54:58

Do you have any children in your care at the moment?

0:54:590:55:02

Just my own and Ben, but his mum's going to be here to pick him

0:55:020:55:04

up any minute.

0:55:040:55:06

I'm sorry to have to tell you, but your husband didn't pass the DBS check.

0:55:060:55:09

You really should have informed us that he has a criminal record.

0:55:090:55:13

That's great, yeah.

0:55:130:55:14

I'm stuck with that for the rest of me pissing life.

0:55:140:55:16

It's not like it was a minor offence, it was armed robbery.

0:55:160:55:19

Excuse me, can I just say something...

0:55:190:55:22

It's not a gun or some kind of weapon...

0:55:220:55:23

It was my car keys and my headphones, all right?

0:55:230:55:26

Look. What have you come here to tell me?

0:55:260:55:29

Under the circumstances,

0:55:290:55:30

and in the light of your husband's criminal record,

0:55:300:55:33

the council have decided to revoke your child-minding licence.

0:55:330:55:35

I'm afraid we'll have to wait here till Ben's mother arrives.

0:55:350:55:39

(I don't believe it.)

0:55:430:55:45

'Thanks for all your posts today. It's really helped a lot.'

0:55:490:55:53

Go on, put that away now, the food is out. Emily is asleep.

0:55:530:55:57

Nearly done.

0:55:570:55:58

'Got to go cos my gorgeous man has brought home food,

0:55:580:56:01

'but it's great to know I'm not on my own.

0:56:010:56:04

'And that some of you out there are worried about handing

0:56:050:56:08

'your baby over to someone else to look after, too,

0:56:080:56:11

'but it's true, some of us can't afford not to.

0:56:110:56:14

'Anyway, that's all for now. I'll keep you posted.'

0:56:140:56:17

BABY CRIES

0:56:180:56:24

Sh-sh-sh-shh. Come on, darling.

0:56:310:56:34

Oh, my.

0:56:430:56:44

BABY STOPS CRYING

0:56:480:56:51

-I know she's going to change her mind.

-She can't, Andrew.

0:57:090:57:12

We've already paid her three grand.

0:57:120:57:14

If you go near her or make her feel uncomfortable, I'll kill you.

0:57:140:57:17

-Where's Mum?

-I don't know.

0:57:170:57:19

I've been trying to get in touch with her all day.

0:57:190:57:22

I knew this were coming. You want to adopt him, don't you?
