Faye: Can I hold her H?

H: Yeah sure.

H passes Faye the baby

H: Emma and Holly will have a little friend to play with.

Lee: Yeah it's going to be great.

H: Yep loads of fun.

Faye: I think she is a spitting image of Claire. You've got to name her soon you know.

H: I know.

Claire: I want to call her Hannah.

H: Aww yeah that's a great name I love it.

Lee: Aww sweet.

The baby starts to cry.

H: I think she might want feeding.

Faye passes Hannah to Claire and Claire feeds her.

Lee: Do you want us to leave while you feed her?

Claire: No, no its ok you can stay.

Claire: Holly Emma and Hannah will be best friends.

Everyone laughs. Lisa still feels slightly left out but doesn't let it show.

H: Claire why don't you try and get some sleep.

Claire: No I'm ok.

H: Come on don't be stubborn.

Claire: Ok just let me finish feeding Hannah.

H: Sure babes.

Claire finishes feeding her and passes her to H and he puts her down in the cot. All of them leave the room leaving Claire all alone well that is until Reece enters.


Claire: What the....

Reece: Yeah Claire, you don't get rid of me that easily.

Claire: Get out.

Reece: No.

Claire: Please.

Reece: No, I never hurt you did I

Claire: No but that's not......

Reece: She's gorgeous.

Claire: Dont you dare touch her.

Reece: Oh I'm scared. I wont hurt her you know.

Reece picks Hannah up and rocks her in his arms.

Claire: Leave her alone. Put her down.

Reece: Chill Claire, I'm not going to hurt her.

Reece puts Hannah back into her cot and goes over to Claire.

Claire: GET AWAY FROM ME.

Reece: Ssssssssssssssssshhhhhhhhhh.

Claire: Please Reece just go.

Reece: Be quiet or I'll hurt her.

Reece: What's her name?

Claire: H.... Hannah.

Reece: That's a lovely name I bet you chose it.

Silence

Reece: Bet you chose it didn't you?

Claire: YES I DID JUST GET OUT AND LEAVE ME ALONE.

Reece slaps Claire, Claire screams so he hits her again and she is knocked out for a short while. Claire starts to come round. Reece runs out then some nurses come running in and see Claire crying.


Nurse: What happened?

Claire: R...Reece he slapped me.

Nurse: Ok, so your boyfriend has Hannah then does he.

Claire: What?

Claire looks over to Hannah's cot, she's gone.

Claire: No he doesn't have her, Reece stole my baby.

Claire stars to cry

Nurse: Calm down Claire.

Claire: CALM DOWN, REECE HAS JUST STOLE MY BABY AND YOU EXPECT ME TO CALM DOWN.

Nurse: Shouting isn't going to do any good, we will phone the police and your boyfriend.

Claire: Ok please find her.

Elsewhere Reece is sitting down holding Hannah.

Reece: I've got a little girl called Olivia she's older than you though, but I'm not aloud to see her because I had an affair with your mum. It wasn't her fault.

Hannah wriggles in his arms and seems to smile.
