00:36📻
00:42📻
00:53Oh...
00:54morning
00:55What are you doing?
00:57Going to work.
00:59How could you?
01:01Bad head.
01:03Just admit.
01:05Yeah, we should have drunk some water like I said.
01:09Is Tiff up?
01:11No.
01:13I'll see you later, yeah?
01:17Yeah, yeah, see ya.
01:25Go on, what's happened?
01:29You've been asleep.
01:31I feel terrible.
01:35What's happened to my baby?
01:37She's here, look.
01:39She's right here.
01:43Is she alright?
01:45Yeah, she's fine.
01:47Awful.
01:51Do you want to hold her?
01:53I don't know.
01:55Here.
01:57Careful.
01:59Here you go.
02:01Watch your head.
02:05I can't believe it.
02:07Look at her, she don't seem real.
02:09Oh, she's real alright.
02:13What do I do?
02:15I don't know, you're her mum.
02:19Shall I feed her?
02:21She's had a bottle, but I suppose there's nothing like the real thing.
02:25Look at her, she's so beautiful.
02:29I know.
02:31Hey, hey, hey, come on, don't cry.
02:35Everything's going to be alright.
02:37Is it?
02:39Yeah, of course it is.
02:41Why don't I go and get you a cup of tea or something, eh?
02:43Yeah, that'd be nice.
02:47Be back in a sec.
02:50You're my little baby.
02:57Er, excuse me.
02:59My wife's just woken up, is there any chance of getting her a cup of tea?
03:01Sure.
03:03Give me a minute and I'll sort something out for you.
03:05Ta.
03:07Are you off?
03:09Yeah, at last.
03:13Oh, er, thanks for everything last night.
03:15Oh, Mr Mitchell, there was someone in last night asking after your wife.
03:19A woman?
03:21Yeah, she came in about ten.
03:23I told her she could stay, but she rushed off.
03:25What did she look like?
03:27I don't know, erm, average height, brown hair.
03:29Pretty.
03:31Thanks.
03:33She seemed a little worried.
03:45Ta.
03:57Morning, Mr Mitchell.
03:59I see she's got your running errands already.
04:01Is she all right?
04:03Not bad. She'll remain on painkillers for a while,
04:05and she'll have considerable soreness around the abdomen for a few weeks.
04:07But she's going to be OK?
04:09Oh, yes. We'll keep her in a week or so for observation, but that's purely routine.
04:11What about the baby?
04:13She seems fine.
04:15Really?
04:17Mm-hm. Look, there's no need to worry.
04:19The baby went into distress. Her heartbeat decelerated,
04:21but we never lost a trace, so there'll be no long-term damage.
04:23I thought her heart stopped.
04:25No. She had some difficulties breathing, but she's fine now.
04:29Thanks.
04:31No problem.
04:43She's dropped off.
04:45I'm going to put her in the cot for you.
04:47Yeah.
04:55That's my girl.
04:57Stay there.
04:59There you go.
05:05You all right?
05:07Yeah.
05:09I just feel a bit empty, I suppose.
05:11Well, it's only natural, isn't it?
05:13Do you think?
05:15Well, yeah, of course it is.
05:17Look, the doctor said that you've got to stay in for a week.
05:19Yeah, I know.
05:21Well, do you want me to go and get you some stuff?
05:23Yeah, thanks.
05:27All right, I'd better get going, then.
05:29Grant, um,
05:31when we declared you were here last night...
05:33Yeah, so am I.
05:35Oh, yeah?
05:37Yeah.
05:39So, do you like her, then?
05:43She's perfect.
05:45She's yours, Grant.
05:47Look, Tiffany, we don't know that.
05:49I do.
05:51How?
05:53I just do.
05:55You can't tell at this age.
05:57Grant, she's your daughter.
05:59Admit it, you think it too.
06:01No.
06:03I mean, when I saw you here, for the way you were looking at her,
06:05you know she's yours.
06:07You know she's yours.
06:09I don't know anything.
06:11Don't you want her to be yours?
06:13Well, I do.
06:15I want her to be your baby
06:17more than anything in the world.
06:19Why?
06:21Because I love you.
06:23Look, Tiffany, you're tired.
06:25You're confused.
06:27I'm not. When I saw you holding our baby,
06:29I knew it was right for us to be together.
06:31Look, we tried. It doesn't work between us.
06:33Yeah, well, we didn't try hard enough. I didn't try hard enough.
06:35It wouldn't make it work.
06:37I lied to her. That's all that come between us.
06:39And what about Lorraine?
06:41That was my fault. If I hadn't wound you up so much, you'd have never gone with her.
06:43No, Tiffany.
06:45Don't you see? If we could just give it a second chance,
06:47start from scratch, we can bring her up together.
06:49Look, even if she is mine,
06:51it's too late.
06:53It's all gone too far.
06:55No, it hasn't.
06:57Well, Tiffany, don't you understand?
06:59I'm in love with somebody else.
07:05PHONE VIBRATES
07:11PHONE VIBRATES
07:23KNOCKING
07:25Mum? Yes, love.
07:27Can I come in? Er, yeah.
07:29Yeah.
07:31Hiya. I'm just going after the calf.
07:33There's some money in my coat pocket.
07:35All right. Do you want anything from the shop?
07:37No, thanks.
07:39You all right? Yeah.
07:41You sure? Mm-hm.
07:43You're not feeling ill again or anything like that, are you?
07:45No, love.
07:47I'm fine, really.
07:49All right, then.
07:51I'll see you later.
07:59You will be coming back, won't you?
08:03Yeah. Look, I'll pick your stuff up
08:05and I'll come back for an hour or two.
08:07Promise?
08:09I promise.
08:11Try and get some rest, yeah?
08:13Yeah.
08:21I'd better go.
08:23See you later, yeah? Yeah.
08:26SIGHS
08:30Um, how's Tiffany this morning?
08:32I don't know. I haven't seen her yet.
08:34Well, I hope you're looking after her. Of course we are.
08:36Well, make sure you do.
08:38Times like this, a girl needs all the support she can get.
08:41Nosey old cow.
08:43Here you go. Oh, great. Cheers, man.
08:45Peggy's sticking her nose in again, is she?
08:47So, what's new? What's it about this time?
08:49Tiff's baby. Every time I see her, she asks me how she is.
08:51Yeah, I suppose it is her granddaughter.
08:53I see Peggy Mitchell telling me how to look after my own sister.
08:55Hey, she's a nipple if you're an old bag. Everyone knows that.
09:00So, how are things working out with Neelam?
09:03Oh, all right, you know.
09:05Well, her and Geeta get on, do they?
09:07I wouldn't say get on, exactly. Oh, I see.
09:09They're at each other's throats already, are they?
09:11Well, they're just getting used to each other, that's all.
09:13Well, I wouldn't worry about it, mate.
09:15Things were a bit tense with me mum and Ruth for a while,
09:17but they've sorted themselves out now. Yeah?
09:19Mind you, having your mum in the next room
09:22Sanjay. Yeah? Oh.
09:25Er, Geeta. Yeah?
09:27I've been thinking about this IVF business.
09:29What about it?
09:31Why don't you book an appointment with Dr Legg for later?
09:33What for? Well, I'll just have a chat.
09:35There's no rush.
09:37I know, but I'd like to get things moving.
09:39Sanjay, how come you're suddenly so keen about all this?
09:41What do you mean?
09:43Well, one minute you don't want to know and the next you're all up for it.
09:45Well, I just think we should stop messing about
09:47and get the ball rolling before it's too late, you know.
09:49How are you feeling?
09:51Fine. You?
09:53Felt better.
09:55You, er, spoken to Alan yet?
09:57No. I'm going to.
09:59I don't know.
10:07Well, like they say,
10:09nothing ventured, nothing gained, right?
10:11See you.
10:19Bye.
10:49What do you want?
10:51Just a quick word.
10:53Tiffany's asleep.
10:55Not with Tiffany, with you.
10:57Well, I ain't got nothing to say to you.
10:59It's about Tiffany.
11:01What about her?
11:03She's had the baby.
11:05What are you talking about?
11:07She had the baby in the early hours of this morning.
11:09It was touch and go for a bit, but she's fine.
11:11And the baby's fine.
11:13Is this some kind of sick joke?
11:15No.
11:17No, she's not.
11:19She's asleep in the bedroom, Grant.
11:21I came round here last night.
11:23Well, it all happened so quickly
11:25there wasn't time to let you know what was going on.
11:27Tony!
11:35Where is she?
11:37At the hospital.
11:39What happened?
11:41I told you, I came round here, she started having contractions
11:43and I had to take her in.
11:45There was no time.
11:47Oh, you could have phoned me.
11:49I couldn't.
11:51Why not?
11:53I had other things on my mind apart from you.
11:55I bet you did.
11:57What's that supposed to mean?
11:59You didn't want me there, did you?
12:01It wasn't like that.
12:03Well, what was it like then?
12:05I didn't come round here to walk you.
12:07What then, to gloat?
12:09I really wanted to be there.
12:11I wanted to see her bum.
12:13You ruined this as well.
12:15I didn't ruin it.
12:17She honestly thinks she wanted you there, Grant.
12:19She can't stand your guts.
12:21Well, I was there.
12:23But it's over.
12:25And there's nothing either of us can do about it.
12:29Set her back.
12:31What are you doing?
12:33I told her I'd take her stuff in.
12:35I'll take it.
12:37I don't think so.
12:39I said I'll take it.
12:41Just because Tiff's had the baby doesn't change anything.
12:43You didn't want Tiffany, so you got rid of her.
12:45You can't suddenly charge back into her life
12:47just because she might have had your baby.
12:49I told her I'd go back in.
12:51Well, there's no need, because I'm going to go and see her now.
12:53So why don't you go home to your girlfriend
12:55and explain to her where you've been all night?
12:57I'm sure she'll be really understanding.
13:07Simon!
13:09Simon.
13:11Hiya.
13:13Tiffany's had the baby.
13:15What?
13:17Last night, she had it while we were at the club.
13:19But I thought she was...
13:21Grant Mitchell was there. He's just popped round to let me know.
13:23Well, what happened? Is she all right?
13:25Yeah, I think so.
13:27Are you all right?
13:29No, I'm not.
13:35Hiya.
13:37Are you OK?
13:39Yeah, I'm fine.
13:41Come in.
13:47I can't believe it.
13:49I can't wait to tell Ricky.
13:51Look, Bianca...
13:53Ricky, you're never going to believe what's happened.
13:55Tiffany's had her baby.
13:57It's brilliant, isn't it?
13:59We were wondering if we could have a lift over there.
14:01Oh, yeah, well, try and stop me.
14:03We need to go right now.
14:05We can really sit around and wait for you to eat your toast, mate.
14:11How is she?
14:13She's...just resting.
14:15Did it go smoothly?
14:19I wouldn't say that.
14:21What happened?
14:23We, er...
14:25nearly lost the baby.
14:27What do you mean?
14:29We thought her heart stopped.
14:31Oh, God.
14:35Tiffany had to have a caesarean.
14:37While they were getting her out,
14:39she had trouble breathing.
14:43It was so confusing.
14:47They wouldn't let me see what was going on.
14:51I've never been so frightened in all my life.
14:57And then suddenly she was there.
14:59They handed her to me.
15:01I couldn't believe it.
15:05I was just holding this little thing.
15:11Tiffany was out of it, so
15:13I just sat there holding her.
15:17All night.
15:19So quiet.
15:23Do you think she's yours?
15:27She felt like mine.
15:29I saw her being born.
15:31I held her.
15:35She felt like mine.
15:37And, er...
15:39what about Tiffany?
15:41What does she think?
15:43I don't know.
15:45Anyway, it doesn't matter
15:47what Tiffany thinks, does it?
15:49Doesn't it?
15:51No.
15:53Lorraine, what's wrong?
15:55Nothing.
15:57Lorraine?
15:59It's stupid.
16:01I feel...
16:03jealous.
16:05Of what?
16:07Of you and Tiffany sharing something like that.
16:11I'm sorry. I didn't mean it to happen.
16:13No.
16:15But it has.
16:17And it's going to come between us.
16:19No, it ain't.
16:21It is.
16:23It's something
16:25that I can never be part of.
16:29It's going to make the two of you
16:31closer and closer.
16:33Lorraine,
16:35I was there for Tiffany last night
16:37but that's it. It's over.
16:39Over?
16:41You were with Tiffany
16:43right through the birth.
16:47It's going to change everything.
16:49Nothing's going to change.
16:51Oh, grunt.
16:53I mean it.
16:55All I want is you.
16:57Just you.
17:19Morning.
17:23Poor kid, eh?
17:25She's as brittle as a bat.
17:27Let's just hope she don't inherit his looks, eh?
17:31Hiya.
17:33Hi.
17:35Have you heard about Tiffany?
17:37No.
17:39Yeah, she's had a baby.
17:41I think so, yeah.
17:43So, did you have a good time last night?
17:45Yeah, not bad. How about you?
17:47Made a change.
17:49You're talking about one of my 70s nights there, mate.
17:51You left early.
17:53How about you? Stay long?
17:55No, not really.
17:57Hey, don't believe a word she says.
17:59She was there till the early hours.
18:01You couldn't get her off the dance floor.
18:03Well, I'd better get some kit.
18:05See ya.
18:07Thanks, Angel.
18:11Grant?
18:13Yeah.
18:21Grant?
18:23Yeah.
18:27What's wrong, man?
18:29Nothing.
18:31Where have you been?
18:35To the hospital.
18:37The hospital?
18:39Tiffany's had her baby.
18:41Has she?
18:43Yeah.
18:45Oh, how lovely.
18:47Is she all right?
18:49Yeah.
18:51And the baby?
18:53She's fine.
18:55So,
18:57how come you were there?
18:59I took her in.
19:01I thought you didn't want to have anything to do with it.
19:03Look, Mum, it's a long story,
19:05and I'm not really in the mood, yeah?
19:07Well, there's no need to pipe me a job.
19:09I'm sorry.
19:11It's just been a long night.
19:13No.
19:15You were there right through, were you?
19:17Yeah.
19:19That must have been something.
19:21It was.
19:25Well, come on, tell me.
19:27What's she look like?
19:29She looks like a baby, Mum.
19:31Does she look like me?
19:33I don't know.
19:35Oh, don't give me that.
19:37Oh, don't give me that.
19:39Is she a Mitchell?
19:41I really couldn't tell.
19:43Well, you must have had a feeling.
19:47I had lots of feelings.
19:49Is she pretty?
19:55She's beautiful.
19:57Oh, I bet she is.
19:59I bet she's a right little darling.
20:01Oh.
20:03Oh, are you all right, son?
20:07What's the matter?
20:09I don't know.
20:11Oh.
20:13You think she's yours, don't you?
20:15Eh?
20:17Don't you?
20:19I don't know, Mum.
20:21I don't know what to think.
20:23Oh.
20:25You're a silly boy.
20:27Look what a mess you've got yourself in.
20:29A beautiful wife,
20:31a lovely baby.
20:33What are you doing?
20:35I don't know if she is mine.
20:37Oh, yes, you do.
20:39I can tell.
20:41Mum, what am I going to do?
20:43Well,
20:45what do you want to do?
20:49I didn't think it was going to be this bad.
20:53But if she is mine,
20:55then I don't think I can bear to be without her.
20:59I held her all night.
21:01I might never do that again.
21:03Oh, you will, love.
21:05Course you will.
21:07How?
21:09You'll sort it out.
21:11How?
21:13You'll get rid of that Lorraine
21:15and get back with Tiffany.
21:17No.
21:19Why not?
21:21I love Lorraine.
21:23You don't know her.
21:25I do.
21:27She's only been around for five minutes.
21:29She has, I know she has.
21:33Oh, there she is.
21:39Tim.
21:41Hey.
21:43Didn't mind us coming, did you?
21:45No, of course not.
21:47Oh, let's have a look at her then.
21:49Oh, look at her little hand.
21:51She's a doll.
21:53So, what do you think?
21:55She's great.
21:57Can I have an arm?
21:59Yeah, course you can.
22:01How do I pick her up?
22:03Just put your arm underneath her.
22:07Oh, she's light as a feather, Ricky.
22:09Look, isn't she gorgeous?
22:11Just think we could have one of these one day.
22:13How are you, Tiff?
22:15Not bad.
22:17A bit painful.
22:19Are they giving you painkillers?
22:21Yeah.
22:23Tony, I'm really sorry.
22:25Couldn't be helped.
22:27Bianca.
22:29Why don't you let Tony have a hold of her?
22:31Oh, yeah. Sorry.
22:37Thanks.
22:41She's brilliant.
22:43Yeah.
22:47I brought this in for you.
22:51I thought Grandma was going to bring it in for me.
22:53Well, we were coming anyway.
22:55Oh.
22:57Well, is he not coming in then?
22:59Dunno.
23:01He didn't say.
23:03Tiff, she's lovely looking, isn't she?
23:05Yeah. Runs in the family.
23:07So, how do you think it looks like then?
23:11What?
23:23How about some champagne?
23:25Oh, you don't have to do that.
23:27I don't want to.
23:29No, this is my shout.
23:31Come on. Be back in a bit, yeah?
23:33Yeah, hold on. I'll come with you. I want to grab a bit of breakfast.
23:35What? I'm hungry.
23:37See ya.
23:39So, go on then.
23:41What was it like? Was it awful?
23:43It was worse than what you could possibly imagine.
23:45Really?
23:47All those contractions. It was like someone was ripping your insides out with a pair of pliers.
23:49Oh, don't.
23:51Tony told me Grant was here with you.
23:53Yeah.
23:55That can't have helped.
23:57No, he was really good, actually.
23:59Grant?
24:01No, he was lovely. I want him back, Bea.
24:03Tiff, you just upsexed the baby.
24:05No, I love him. I never stopped loving him.
24:09And I know that she's his baby.
24:11Well, how do you know that?
24:13I can't explain it. I just feel it.
24:15And what are you going to do, Tiff?
24:17I don't know.
24:19He feels the same.
24:21He says he wants to divorce me.
24:23Well, then you've just got to try and forget about it.
24:25I don't think he'll go through with it, though.
24:27I mean, you should have seen the way that he was looking at her.
24:31Once he knows for certain, once he knows that she's his kid,
24:33I think that'll change everything.
24:37Tiff, you've just got to try and forget about Grant.
24:39I can't, Bea.
24:41But if he don't want you, there's nothing you can do about it.
24:43I can.
24:45I can show him what a good mum I am.
24:47And once the tests come through,
24:49and once he knows that she's his kid,
24:51he won't be able to stop himself from loving me.
24:53But what if she ain't?
24:55She is.
24:57But what if she ain't?
24:59She is.
25:03Morning.
25:05Morning.
25:07Where shall I start?
25:09Those ashtrays need cleaning.
25:11Right.
25:13Did you hear about Tiffany?
25:15Yeah, very.
25:17Grant was there, you know.
25:19Yes, he told me.
25:21But then it's only right for him to be there at his wife's side.
25:23I'm sure Tiffany appreciated the support.
25:25Oh, he enjoyed it.
25:27Made him realise a few things.
25:29Oh, really?
25:31Course. Seeing your child born changes things for a bloke.
25:33But we don't actually know that it's his child, do we?
25:35Well, he seemed pretty certain.
25:37In fact, he was so sure he was only here five minutes
25:39before he rushed off back to the hospital.
25:41What?
25:43He's there right now with Tiffany and the baby.
25:47Wild horses couldn't have kept that boy away.
26:01Excuse me.
26:03Yeah?
26:05Could you do me a favour, please?
26:07Could you give these to Tiffany Mitchell?
26:09Second bed in the right.
26:11Why don't you give them to her yourself?
26:13No, no, I can't.
26:15I've got to go.
26:23Mrs Mitchell.
26:25Yeah?
26:27These are for you.
26:29Who are they from?
26:31Your husband.
26:33My husband?
26:35Yes, he just left.
26:37I don't know what you mean.
26:39Nice, isn't it?
26:41Yeah, they were all right.
27:09Yeah.
27:11Yeah.
27:13Yeah.
27:15Yeah.
27:17Yeah.
27:19Yeah.
27:21Yeah.
27:23Yeah.
27:25Yeah.
27:27Yeah.
27:29Yeah.
27:31Yeah.
27:33Yeah.
27:35Yeah.
27:37Yeah.
