Demon Baby Page #2

And if you want my advice,

book into the campsite.

Lovely heated toilet blocks

and you've got the comfort of knowing

there are other tourists around.

Yeah, well, it's, um, it's the tourists

we're trying to avoid up here really.

Okay.

I'll be on my way.

All right, cool. Um, great, well, if we...

see anything suspicious

we'll call the police I guess.

- Ey, you do that.

- Yeah.

Sleep tight miss.

Well...

he seemed nice.

He was a prick!

The pervert couldn't take his eyes off me.

Well, can you blame him?

Look at you. Hey...

I can't imagine what it would have been like

if you were wearing your little present?

Theo, why do men only

ever think about one thing?

We don't only ever think about one thing.

Now come on put that lights off

and let's get down to business.

I'm joking, let's get our heads down.

What about those bangs?

Look, why would he bang three times

and then just disappear?

I don't know. Maybe he got

bored and wondered off,

you know, I spent ages

getting out of bed, you know.

Come on, just relax.

You've been on edge since you got here.

You're right. I'm sorry.

It's all right. Come on,

close the blinds and let's get to sleep.

I think that's enough excitement

for one evening.

Morning.

Hmm.

Hey.

Theo, stop!

- What is it?

- It's nothing.

The blind just gave me

a fright that's all.

Okay.

Look, shouldn't you be

making me some breakfast?

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

And how's my little man doing today? Hmm?

What's that?

You want mummy to put on her present

and give daddy a lap...

- Hey, wow, did you feel that?

- Feel what?

It kicked.

That's impossible.

Look, babies don't start kicking

until much later on.

It did honest, I felt it. Hey, little feller,

are you in there? Can you hear me?

- Mm-mm.

- Theo, just get off me, alright?

I can't breathe with you on top of me.

Alright, grumpy.

Hello?

Hello?

- Who was it?

- Um, withheld number.

I don't know, I guess if it was important

they'll probably call back, yeah?

All right, mister, you were right.

This was a great idea.

I told you so.

You know, we should make it

a family tradition coming here.

Champagne, madame?

- And what's this in aid of?

- To us.

To a new chapter in our lives.

And to our new family.

Look... Theo,

I know you're excited, but...

please for God's sake don't get

carried away with all of this.

It's still incredibly early stages,

it's not even twelve weeks yet.

No, come on,

why are you talking like that?

I'm just being realistic.

There are so many things that can go wrong

at this stage of the pregnancy.

I just don't want us

getting our hopes up, that's all.

Hope's up?

Rose, we're having a baby, alright?

Of course I'm going to get my hopes up.

Seriously, look, I know you're worried.

Sh*t, I'm terrified, but...

I mean, people have babies all the time,

you know? If they can do it, we f***ing can.

Alright, look, the chances

of something going wrong

are so small it's not even worth

thinking about, okay?

Now come here and give us a snog.

Let's get a photo,

just one for the family album.

This is going to be a gratuitous selfie.

- Rose.

- What?

- Put your oar up.

- Sorry.

Theo, wait, I need, I need to pee.

All right, but be quick about it because

it's suppose to chuck it down in a bit.

Theo, that's not funny.

Theo, where are you? I can't see you!

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Are you all right?

What are you doing?

Sorry.

I thought I saw something in the woods.

Come on, let's just get to the bothy.

Okay.

Here we are, it could be worse.

No, it couldn't.

- Here, do you want a bit?

- I'm not hungry.

Come on, you're kidding me?

We've been walking all day.

I'm fine, I've eaten some shortbread.

I don't think we should stay very long.

How much light do you think we've got left?

Well, not very much really.

It could get dark really soon.

Look, um...

to be honest, I think we should probably

end up staying here the night.

I'm not sleeping here.

Come on, we have to get back to the van and

if we set off now we'll have plenty of time.

I'm sorry, I mean, without a compass or

a map we could get really lost around here.

You know, these tracks go round and round in

circles. We could end up lost in the woods,

having to eat each other,

cut our own arms off.

Seriously, though, okay,

we've got a roof over our heads here,

we've got a fire, we've got some water,

we got some food, and we've got each other.

I mean, come on, it's going to be

pretty romantic, don't you think?

Look, we haven't even got

any sleeping bags and...

as for this bench come bed thing...

We don't need sleeping bags, we've got

these blankets here to keep us warm,

we can use our backpacks as pillows.

Come on, it will be an adventure.

Look, I know you're going through

emotional roller coaster right now, okay?

But if you don't let me, I can't help you.

All right, I'm here for you,

you know that, yeah?

I'm sorry.

Look, my head's just all over

the place at the moment.

I know how hard you're trying. I do.

It's okay. You're just tired, that's all.

Okay, look... I'll get a fire going,

you get a bed made up and then tomorrow

I promise we'll leave first thing

and we'll spend all day in a really

boring girly clothes shop for you.

Okay? Come on, chop to it.

I'm pregnant.

Eight weeks. Do you really think

that we're ready to have a child?

I've already made

an appointment at the clinic.

My mind is made up and I'm not keeping it.

Rose, you f***ing have

an abortion... we're through.

It's my decision.

Theo.

Theo.

Hello. You're up?

- Yeah.

- What are you doing?

Nothing. Just thinking.

Okay, about what?

Nothing.

Yeah, you can't be thinking about nothing.

- Come on, what is it?

- It's nothing interesting.

Yeah, okay, that's for me

to decide, though, no?

Come on, what's up?

You've been weird since you got here.

It's nothing.

I'm just tired.

I couldn't sleep in there,

the itchy blankets and the smoke.

I had a terrible nights sleep

and I just needed some fresh air.

That's all, it's no big deal.

Did you have another nightmare?

I don't remember.

Look, it doesn't matter, all right?

The mist has gone.

We're both up so let's just get away

from here and get back to the van.

Are you okay?

Yeah.

I'm just...

I'm just tired. I need a cup of tea,

shower and a proper bed.

Are you sure that's it?

Yeah, come on. Let's just get going, okay?

Ah. The very people I'm looking for.

I think this may be yours.

- Hah.

- Where did you get that?

A very honest dog walker found it by the Loch

on his way up to the bothy this morning.

Handed it in at the station at Glenmore.

I recognized you

from the photo on the phone.

When I was driving to work this morning

I saw your van was here,

so I thought I'd pop back

and see if you had returned.

Thanks very much for that. You know, if that

was back home, you'd never see that again.

And you just happened

to be passing by our van?

That's right, miss.

Yeah, well, were both very grateful,
