'Hey...' She says smiling as she rests her iPad against her thighs and tilts her head to the side.

'Hey, you. How are you doing? I've been worried.' He asks smiling at her through the screen.

'I'm doing okay. I stayed with Marie last night because I had barely kept any food down and she was worried I'd get dehydrated but I'm okay... I see you made it okay? How is it out there?'

'Have you been able to keep food down this morning? Maybe you should speak to the doctor or someone about it? It's been fine out here; we're just settling in and then we've got a briefing later.'

'I've had some toast and some water so I'm fine. I know the signs of dehydration and I promise the minute I feel like things aren't going good then I'll contact someone but as of right now I am okay... How is everyone out there?'

'Okay, just keep me updated with everything that's going on with you yeah? Everyone is doing really good out here. Everyone was asking for you and Kingy told me to let you know that he hasn't forgotten his promise, not that I know what the promise is... Are you staying with Marie again tonight?'

'You don't need to know what the promise was, not yet anyway. No, I'm staying at our place because I can't spent the next month staying with Marie.'

'You know Marie doesn't mind you staying with her. If you feel better staying with her then I'm sure she'll be more than happy to have you stay with her and Frankie.'

'I know she would but I think I'd be more comfortable at home anyway. I'm so tired all the time that I just want to come in from work and sleep. I just think that I'd be better in our place.'

'Wherever you're comfortable, babe.'

'I know you've just left but I can't wait until you're back. The flat feels so big and empty without you here.'

'I can't wait to be home either, babe. We just need to get this mission out the way and then I'm all yours.'

'Have you told anyone your plans?'

'My plan to leave? No. I've only really actually spoke to you about it. When we get back I'm going to start putting things in motion.'

'I love you.'

'I love you too.'


'Hey. Everything okay?' Marie asks as she opens the front door to reveal her sister standing with an overnight bag flung over her shoulder.

'Mmm... Can I stay with you? Don't feel like you need to say yes. Just if you don't mind.' Georgie says.

'Of course I don't mind. Frankie will love having some time with his Auntie Georgie.' Marie replies smiling as Georgie makes her way into the flat.

'Thank you.' Georgie says.

'How was work today?' Marie asks as they make their way through to the living room where Frankie is watching Peppa Pig.

'I got sent home. They think I should get a sick line from the doctor.' Georgie admits as she sits down on the sofa and Frankie immediately climbs onto her knee.

'Really? I think it would be a good idea to get a sick line, Georgie. You look really ill and I know you keep saying you're only pregnant but you need to take care of yourself.' Marie says.

'I just- This wasn't how I thought it would be. I knew that people get sick during pregnancy and I knew that people get tired but I'm miserable, Marie. I can't do this for another seven months.' Georgie replies and Marie sits down next to her.

'Oh, Georgie... It will get better. This won't last forever; have you thought about seeing if the doctor can put you on sickness tablets or anything that might help a bit?' Marie suggests.

'I might need to.' Georgie replies as she rests her head on Marie's shoulder.

'What have you managed to actually keep down today?' Marie asks.

'Some toast this morning and a couple glasses of water throughout the day but I didn't manage to keep any of my lunch down.' Georgie admits.

'Right I'm going to make you something to eat and we'll keep trying till we find something you can keep down... Frankie, can you look after Auntie Georgie for me?' Marie says.

'Kay, mumma.' Frankie replies cuddling into Georgie.


'I don't feel well.' Georgie mumbles leaning her head against the bathroom wall as Marie sighs.

'I think we need to phone someone, Georgie. This isn't right, you shouldn't be this ill.' Marie says and Georgie nods her head.

'Okay.' Georgie replies quietly. Quickly Marie grabs her phone from the living room and immediately phones NHS 24 to explain their situation as Georgie closes her eyes and rests her hand on her stomach. She can vaguely hear Marie talking on the phone in the background. After what feels like only a few minutes, Georgie feels Marie gently shaking her as she kneels beside her.

'Georgie... Georgie, they said we've got to get you up to the hospital. Mum is on her way to watch Frankie.' Marie says and Georgie groans.

'W-What did they say?' Georgie asks.

'They just said that they want to give you a check over and make sure that you're not dehydrated.' Marie replies.

'Okay.' Georgie says.

'Do you want to get changed? I can help you?' Marie asks and Georgie nods her head. Carefully Marie helps her sister off the floor and they make their way through to the spare bedroom where Georgie left her bag.

'Did you bring any comfy clothes or is it all pyjamas?' Marie asks.

'Pyjamas.' Georgie replies.

'Do you want to go to hospital in pyjamas or do you want me to grab you some of my joggers?' Marie asks.

'Joggers, please.' Georgie replies.
