David was driving along the busy road, hoping and praying that he would make it in time to stop Carol from getting rid of their baby. As he drove, "Take good care of my baby" began to play on the radio and David felt his heartstrings being pulled. "Come on, hurry up for God's sake!", He yelled through his open window and he began beeping his horn. However by the time he got to the clinic, Carol was coming out through the doors and his heart nearly stopped beating. She couldn't have done it already, could she? He got out the car and walked towards Carol who looked surprised to see him. "Carol, have you had an abortion?", he asked, his voice full of fear and after a few agonizing moments, she finally shook her head, "I couldn't go through with it. I saw some of the women in tears after what they did and I can't kill our baby, I wouldn't live with myself." She said and David breathed a sigh of relief before he held her in his arms for what seemed like hours.
When they got home however, Max came marching over to them, "Oi Wicks, I wanna word with you!", He yelled and David braced himself. "So you've done it again, have you? Ruined my sister's life like you did back then?!", He shouted pointing a finger in David's chest, David stood his ground and shouted back, "And were keeping the baby as well!", Max' s face went red with anger and then he turned on Carol, "Having a kid out your age?Have you gone stark raving mad?!" Carol shook her head, "Were having the baby Max and if you don't like it then that's too bad!", she shouted before storming into the house, David followed behind her. Bianca was standing in the doorway, she heard everything. "You didn't have an abortion did you?", her voice was unsettling calm and Carol shook her head. Bianca rolled her eyes and stormed of into the living room where Sonya was sitting. "It looks like we're gonna have a new family member Sonya!", she snapped as David put his arm around Carols shoulder, Sonya looked at Carol and seeing how upset she was getting, said reassuringly, "Well a baby can be good news can't it? I mean we will be big sisters again and well help look after it and I know Rebecca and Tiffany loves babies." Bianca didn't anything for a few minutes then she said in a low voice, "If they go through with the pregnancy, then I will leave and take the kids with me and I mean it!" Sonya jumped up, "Why will you have to leave?!", she snapped and Bianca said defensively,"Sonya, the house is crowded enough with me and the kids without mum and dad and their bundle of Joy!", Carol ran upstairs then and David followed her.
A few hours later, Sonya had gone home and Bianca had gone out with Whitney while the kids were in bed. Carol was in the kitchen and David was seated at the table, "What are you thinking about?", he said to her softly and Carol replied, "I'm just thinking how you will be as a dad, that's what." David raised his eyebrows at her but didn't have time to speak as Carol became more outspoken, "I mean are you going to be to change the nappies, to be up most of the night with the baby, to feed it and gives it loads of attention? Will you even find me attractive anymore when I get bigger and bigger and can't move around much? Will you bottle fed the baby because I can't breast feed my baby because I've had cancer? Are you prepared to go through the whole life process again?", David looked into her eyes and said honestly, "Yes." Carol looked surprised, "Why?", She asked, "Why do you think? It's my baby as well and it may well be the last chance I'll get to be the father that I wasn't with Bianca, Joe and Karen. And I want this baby because it's a part of you." He added lovingly and Carol held her arms to him, "Come here",she whispered and David held her and kissed her as if his life depended on it. He felt lucky to have the woman he loved in his arms and he fell in love with the baby inside her. When they had made Bianca, they had been too young to be parents now this time they were to old to be parents but David knew that the baby would be doted on unconditionally.
