After the date for the next scan had been set, Sandra, Gerry and Alexis went home. Sandra felt very relieved. She had been very worried that her baby would be somehow ill. She had had complications when she was pregnant with Alexis, but luckily these had cleared up before her baby girl was born.

After they had all eaten their lunch, Sandra said. 'We need to go shopping for dinner tonight. I definitely need some earplugs!' she joked. Gerry's exes would be hysterical when they found out the news.

They shopped for various fizzy drinks, wine for everyone excluding Sandra Alexis, Brian and Gerry junior. The meal was obviously going to be cooked by Gerry, who would not have it any other way. Before she married Gerry, Sandra had lived on takeaways and ready meals. Now she lived with her very own Jamie Oliver!

Five o'clock, the designated time set for everyone to arrive, finally came. Brian and Esther arrived first, Brain being a stickler for everything being right. Esther was very happy for Sandra and Gerry, and Alexis was a little miserable because they hadn't brought Scampi!

Carole, Paula and Gerry Junior were the next to arrive. Sandra and Gerry had decided to announce their big news after dinner, when everyone would probably be slightly out of it with lots of red wine!

Jayne, Alison, Amelia, Caitlin, Jack, and Emily all arrived together. Jack and Alison had each brought a bottle of red and white wine.

After dinner it was time to make the big announcement. Sandra looked across the table at Gerry and mouthed 'Now'
