Effie: Um – there’s something that we want to tell you two –
Sadie: You’re pregnant, aren’t you! Oh congratulations, darling! I knew it! Didn’t I say, Rowan?
Rowan: That’s brilliant news, Eff – well done both of you! I think you’ll remember, Sadie, it was ME who said it first.
Sadie: How far gone are you? No I said she was pregnant WAY before you, Rowan!
Effie: I –
Rowan: When are you due, Eff? You so did not,Sadie!
Effie: I’m –
Sadie: Admit it Rowan – I knew first!
Will: Will you two pack it in? Effie’s trying to tell you her news and she can’t get a word in with you bickering!
Sadie: Oh darling we’re sorry! We’re just so excited.
Rowan: Come and sit down, Eff – we’ll shut up and you can tell us everything.
Effie: Well – I’m due in March – the 15th. We didn’t want to say anything too soon – but we had our 12 week scan yesterday –
Sadie: Oh my god you have pictures! Oh there’s your baby…
Rowan: Twins – ??
Sadie: Where does it say that?
Effie: Yes – we’re having twins – oh I’m sorry, I’m so happy and I can’t stop crying…
Rowan: Oh Eff – how lovely…I mean about the twins, not the crying!
Will: Sweetheart, I’ll go take Haggis out so you three can have a chat. And you two – don’t start arguing again!
Sadie: We will be on our best behavior!
Effie: So – how did you know I was pregnant?
Rowan: Well – it WAS a bit obvious, Effie!
Sadie: You keep putting your hand on your stomach when you think no-one’s looking – oh you have a little tiny bump already! Anyone else might think it was wind, but we’re your friends, so we knew the truth!
Rowan: And you keep going off in a daydream …
Sadie: …and doing this really soppy smile…
Rowan: …and Will has been SO protective! And you’ve put on weight.
Sadie: AND you keep needing the loo when we go shopping!
Rowan: Well, trust you to bring everything back round to shopping…
