The doctor had already briefly explained things to Scarlet basically telling her that she needed to relax. In her mind this was impossible. How could she relax when she would have to go to court in the next few days in an attempt to keep her son safe and to get her ex-husband put in prison. Despite this Scarlet told the doctor that she would relax. She wanted to be able to for the sake of the baby but it wasn't quite as easy as that.

Despite being exhausted she managed a smile when both Andy and Steven walked into the room. She was glad to see them but also felt guilty that she had put them through so much worry. Andy was the first to embrace her. "I'm fine Andy... it was just a little bit of a scare thats all" Scarlet said to her son as Andy appeared to be worried about both her and the baby. He wasn't completely convinced and told her that from now on she was to relax. Scarlet just nodded her head before she glanced over at Steven and made eye contact with him. She could tell that he was worried and probably more than a little stressed himself and she frowned slightly. That was the last thing she wanted to happen.

"Andy sweetie could you maybe go and get me some ice chips while I talk to Steven?" Scarlet asked, wanting some time alone with just Steven. "Sure" Andy said as he headed out of the room. He was just glad to see that his mum and the baby were okay. He also understood that the two adults probably had some talking to do so he took his time going out to get the ice as well as getting himself a drink along the way.

Scarlet looked over at Steven once Andy left the room, her eyes once more meeting his. "I'm so sorry... I didn't mean for any of this to happen and I really thought it was all okay" She said as her eyes became wet with tears. Scarlet was filled with guilt and disapointment in herself as well as being terrified that she could have almost lost their baby.
