INT. ANDREWS HOUSE - NIGHT
Claire is in floods of tears, holding her knees on the bed, Val is comforting her in support.
Val talks to Claire and she explains the situation to Val, she asks if Claire is going to keep it and she says she don’t know what to do.
Val: Cheer up love...things could be worse...
Claire: Worse!? They couldnt get any worse if i tried!
Val: It's not the end of the world darl'...theres never a right time to start a family...but once the baby is hear...it'll all work out... you and Romeo...it'll all work out...
Claire bursts into tears again.
Val: What...what did i say?
Claire: It's not Romeos!?
Val: Then who the ruddy hell's is it!?
Claire doesnt answer
Val: (Concerned) Claire?
Claire: It was just one stupid one night stand... it didnt mean anything... and now... its ruined everything...
Val: Do you know who he was?
Claire: Of course i do mum! I'm not some cheap little tart you know!
Val choses not to respond to this.
Claire: When Romeo finds out...he'll never forgive me...and that's it...we're over...all I've worked for...gone...oh my god how could i be so foolish!?
Val: There's always a way out...if you feel you have to take it...
Claire: What an abortion!? I havent thought that far ahead...
Val: I'm not advising it...but its there if you need it... im there if you need me...you havent got to see all this trough on your own.
Claire: (Emotionally) Thanks Mom...
Val strokes Claire hair to comfort her. Val has a disturbed look on her face.
