Dan: Aren’t you putting your hair up?
Sadie: Well, I was going to, but…
Dan: You OK? We don’t have to go if you don’t feel up to it, Caroline won’t mind.
Sadie: I just feel a bit out of sorts. I’ll be OK.
Dan: Why don’t you have a little lie down?
Sadie: Oh – I need to finish getting ready…
Dan: You look beautiful as you are; Caroline isn’t expecting everyone to be dressed up to the nines anyway. Look, maybe we shouldn’t go.
Sadie: But I was looking forward to it! And I have my dress…
Dan: Well…see how you feel in half an hour or so. We can just show our faces and leave early. Do you want me to get you a drink or anything?
Sadie: No, just lie by me and hold me.
Sadie: Oh that feels nice…I feel restless but you make me feel calm. I love you, Daniel.
Dan: Well, I love you too, Sadie – I don’t remember to say it enough do I? I’m not one of life’s great romantics, I know, but I do love you.
Sadie: I know, darling, I – oh…
Dan: Angel..?
Dan: Are you OK, is it the baby?
Sadie: Yes, Daniel, it’s the baby –
Sadie: I think it might be on the way…
