Erica's Monday at home was made all the more enjoyable by a visit from Camilla and Ayesha. Erica hadn't seen much of Camilla since she moved out of the penthouse apartment. They had quite a bit to catch up on.

Erica's only worry was that, like Opal, Camilla would be on Marissa's side if she ever brought up her suspicions… so she decided to simply stay as far away from that topic as possible. It was bad enough that Opal had her beginning to doubt herself, but if Camilla pushed as well; Erica couldn't bear the humiliation of having to face the fact that maybe she was wrong.

Luckily Ayesha was her usual hyperactive self and was being the perfect distraction and Erica made sure their conversation stayed mainly on the new house and Camilla's new job.

Sadly Camilla couldn't help waxing lyrical about how all of it couldn't have happened without Bianca and Marissa… But the more she talked the more it became clear that she was unaware of the tension between Erica and Bianca, so maybe Erica had been worrying unnecessarily?

Ayesha was been put down for her afternoon nap and they had just go onto the subject of Reggie's work as a nanny when the doorbell rang.

Erica had another visitor.

…

Madison was standing on the doorstep looking completely haggard.

"Oh, my god what's happened?" Erica cried ushering her hurriedly inside.

"I need to talk to you." Madison sobbed.

Erica couldn't help but notice that the distraught Madison was there empty handed.

"Madison where's Holly?" she asked cautiously.

"In the car." she sniffed.

"You left her the car," gasped Camilla, "But it's freezing out!"

Madison blinked but didn't seem to understand that there was a problem.

"Give me the keys, I'll get her!" said Camilla holding out her hand. Madison, still sobbing, fished out her keys and handed them over.

Camilla gave Erica a worried look and then tore out of the apartment.

"Why would you leave your baby in the car?" Erica asked, putting an arm around Madison's shoulder, concerned about how distraught she was.

"I don't know what to do?" Madison sobbed. "You were right. I saw them together… you were right... Scott is a cheat and a LIAR!" she screamed the last word which made Erica jump.

"You saw then together?" Erica asked, knowing all too well who Madison was talking him.

"I followed him." Madison whispered in a conspirators tone. "I followed him on Saturday and I saw then together and then today. I saw them again. I can't get it out of my head… I just see them kissing and fondling…"

"You saw them kiss?" Erica asked. She was worried about Madison's emotional state, but she was also keen to hear that she was right all along… that she hadn't made it up out of spite… Marissa and Scott's affair was real and it was happening!

Madison blinked in response to Erica's question.

"Yes I saw them kissing." Madison said firmly. If she saw it in her head that was real wasn't it… she knew it was real..!

"You poor thing, I am so sorry." said Erica, pulling her into a hug.

Camilla returned in that moment with Holly cradled in her arms; she walked straight over to the phone.

"She's freezing. I think she needs to go to the hospital." she said. Her eyes turned pointedly to Madison and lowered her voice. "I think they both do."

"She's just upset." said Erica, walking over to check on Holly for herself. "She's had some bad news."

"That doesn't mean that you can neglect your baby." said Camilla, keeping her voice low so Madison couldn't overhear. "I think she might have post-natal depression. My cousin had it. She couldn't connect with the baby. She got emotional… withdrawn… neglected the child… If Madison is sick, she needs help!"

Erica looked across at Madison, she was a wreck and Camilla was right about Holly, her skin was like ice from being out in the cold and she was terribly quiet.

"Make the call." said Erica, taking the baby from Camilla's arms. "I'm going to give that woman all the help she needs!"

It didn't feel quite so good knowing she was right about Marissa and Scott if the cost was the health of Madison and her baby.
