Brooke: Jake?
Jake: Hmm?
Brooke: When is Rowan going to have her baby?
Jake: Oh – it’ll be quite a long time yet, Brooke.
Brooke: She will be his mummy.
Jake: Yes, that’s right.
Brooke: And you will be his daddy.
Jake: Yes – yes I will.
Brooke: Will is Jessica and Daisy’s daddy.
Jake: Yes….
Brooke: I haven’t got a daddy.
Brooke: Mandy doesn’t believe me – she says everyone has got one.
Jake: Well…they have, but – the thing is, Brooke, sometimes it’s just not possible for mums and dads to be together, or to be with their kids.
Brooke: Oh – okay. Like Mandy’s daddy has to go to work a long way away, but he comes back.
Brooke: Have you got a mummy and daddy?
Jake: Yes, but they’re- er – they’re in heaven.
Brooke: Maybe MY daddy is there too?
Jake: Oh – I don’t know, Brooke. I think you might have to ask your mum about that…
Brooke: Mandy says they don’t have e-mail or mobile phones in heaven.
Jake: Mandy seems to be very well informed for a four year old girl.
Brooke: She’s five.
Jake: Ah. That makes all the difference.
Brooke: Jake…? Can I have another chocolate biscuit…?
Jake: No. Your mum said you could only have one.
Brooke: *sigh*…I bet if my daddy was here, he would let me have a chocolate biscuit…
Jake: I’m not falling for that one, Brooke.
