INT. BACHELOR BOYS HOUSE - NIGHT
Tom is sitting in the living room staring into space, Chris is sitting on the sofa watching the tv, but it's all a distant blur to Tom, who can't get over the death of the young girl.
We see flashbacks to Marcus shouting at him, him going in to save her, then him trying to do CPR on her.
Woman: Help! Help! My babies drowning!
Tom shakes out of his daze and stares at the TV, Chris is watching Baywatch as Pamela Anderson and David Hasslehoff run into the sea to save a drowning child.
Tom: For god sake Chris! Have you got any sense in that brain of yours!?
Chris: But...it's Pamela with her big..
Tom: Do you think it's funny!? A girl drowning!? Becuase of me!?
Chris: Sorry I didn't think...
Tom: That's your problem! You never do!
Chris switches the channel. The doorbell rings. Tom does not attempt to asnwer it.
Chris: I'll get it then shall I? :rolleyes:
Chris gets up to open the door. As he does so we see a close up of Tom who is practically in tears.
Chris: Tom...you've got a visitor...
Tom looks up. His boss is standing in the room, arms folded looking serious.
Boss: Tom, I think me and you need a chat...
-
Oh no!! Tom isn't gonna lose his job is he?! :eek:

INT: MANSFIELD HOUSE- Day
Vicky is in the front room, staring at the TV, but not really watching what is on. Nick walks in, looking apologetic, and sits next to Vicky. She ignores him...
Nick: I'm sorry hun...
Vicky doesn't reply..
Nick: Vicky, please talk to me...
Vicky: Well, how do you expect me to react, after what you said?!
Nick: I know, i know, i'm an idiot
Vicky: Pffft..
Nick: Its hard for me, Vicks. Whenever we talk about the baby, i can't help but think about what happened..
Vicky: What happened, has happened though. I thought we were getting over that. I thought you wanted me and the baby. Obviously not.
Nick: I do...
Vicky: Thats not the impression i got!
Nick: I love you, and i know we can get through this. I just let everything get to me sometimes... its stupid, i know... but i want to live my life with you, and the baby. I just let everything shadow that, sometimes.
Vicky: I love you too, but how can you say things like that to me?!
Nick: I dont know... Kyle just gets to me sometimes. But if we have each other, then none of that is going to matter.

INT: BACHELOR BOYS HOUSE- Night
Tom's Boss walks into the House...
Boss: I wont beat around the bush. I know whats happened, and i have to say, i am shocked and disappointed that someone i put so much trust into could allow such a tragedy to occur...
Tom: I know, i just -
Boss: I dont want to know, Tom. I cannot beleive you would allow a little girl to drown, on your shift. Or on anyones shift, come to think of it!
Tom: I understand...
Boss: Therefore i am severly stunned at the fact that the girls father has decided to not press charges against either one of us
Tom: Excuse me?!
Boss: The father has decided not to sue you, or me and my company as a result of your disconduct. Something i'm sure even you can understand is a huge step for any father to take...
Tom: (Stunned) Yes... i understand... I just... i can't beleive this happened at all. But to not lose my job, and now have a court case... thats...
Boss: (Intrupts) I think you've missunderstood me, Thomas. The police are not going to press charges against you, however this is the most severe form of mis conduct you could have possibly commited! I'm sorry to do this, but i have no choice but to sack you, Tom.

Amy and Vicky are at the side of the bar, talking...
Vicky: I beleive him, i think he's being genuine. And of course he has a reason to be like that sometimes, after everything thats happened...
Amy: I guess so. As long as you're happy, hun, then thats all that matters.
Amy looks at Vicky, and smiles..
Amy: Is that a bump i detect?!
Vicky: Might just be me just getting fat too- the amount of food i'm eating now-a-days is ridiculous! :rotfl:
They both laugh. Amy sees Val walk into the pub, looking disturbed and shocked. She walks over...
Amy: Val? Whats wrong?
Val: The results. They're back in. I'm going to collect them in the morning...

Nick: Dad...that was Vicky...she wants me and you to meet her down the pub at lunch...
Richard: What for?
Nick: She didn't say...
Gordon, the estate agent for the Taylors, walks into the kitchen.
Richard: Oh Gordon, you're up early...
Gordan: Well I had an offer for the cafe late last night, so I thought I'd come and tell you face to face first thing...
Hilary: Well don't keep us in suspense, what is the offer?
Gordan: 120 thousand...
Richard: Deal...
Nick: But dad! The cafe could sell for more than that!
Richard: I don't care Nick, I want it off our hands, and that 120 will go a long way for the lesuire complex...
Gordan: I am to tell them their offer is accepted then?
Richard: Yeah please Gordon! And thank you for your services, can I get you a glass of champagne to celebrate?
Gordan: Oh it's a bit too early for champagne Richard...

Richard and Gordan shake hands and say their goodbyes.
Hilary: Well there goes the cafe...

Val: (Quietly) Oh no...

Doctor: It means that the tumour less than 2cm, no spread,... and your cancer cells are the same as normal cells...not growing rapidly...
Amy: So that's good then isn't it?
Val: Good!? How can any of this be good Amy!? I've got friggin' Breast Cancer!

Doctor: Well first things first we will operate, remove the tumour...then we will follow with a breif course of chemotheraphy to prevent any cancerous cells returning... I really wouldn't worry Mrs Andrews, you have been very fortunate here, I have ever hope that you will recover from this in hull heath...
