Demon Baby Page #3

aren't we, Rose?

All in a days work sir.

Now... there are a few missed calls

in your phone there.

Somebody's very keen to get hold of you.

Now...

are you two going to take my advice

and book into the campsite tonight?

There's a big storm coming and I wouldn't

advise staying up on the tops again.

We were actually going to book

into the campsite anyway.

We could do with a proper shower really.

Good. Well...

enjoy your last night in the Cairngorms.

I'm sure you will.

Cheers.

How do you know it's our last night?

Because when I first met you, you told me

you were staying for the weekend.

Take care of your belongings

when you're out and about, miss.

You might not be so lucky next time.

Okay, cheers.

Alrighty, let's hit the shops before

they shut. Get some supplies, yeah?

- Theo, I'm going for a shower.

- Okay.

Hello?

There's someone in here.

I said there's someone in here!

Hey.

What are you doing in here?

How did you get in?

The old coin trick, works every time. I've been

doing that one since swimming lessons at school.

You scared the sh*t out of me.

Look, if they catch us in here

we'll get thrown of the site.

You know, I just thought,

well, I need a shower.

You're in the shower,

be a shame to waste water, right?

Waste not want not.

- You're like a dog on heat.

- Can you blame me, look at you.

- Theo!

- What the f***?

F***.

Theo, just...

I'm sorry, I just...

What the f*** is the matter with you,

seriously? This is f***ing bullshit!

Theo.

I'm through with this sh*t,

f*** it, I'm done.

Theo!

Help! Somebody help!

Get your arms up.

How far into the pregnancy?

How many weeks?

- Ten weeks. I think.

- Ten weeks?

I recommend a...

medically-induced abortion.

It's similar to late

or natural miscarriage.

You'll be giving birth naturally.

I need the name

of your husband or boyfriend.

You can call my parents.

See you sharp at 9:30.

Hey.

Hey, how are you feeling?

Sleepy.

- What happened?

- You don't remember?

No.

Baby, you're not well.

What are you talking about?

We need to get you some help.

For what?

Um... the Doctors,

they want to run some test.

Um, but their not going to do

anything until the morning,

but you are going to have

to spend the night here, okay?

- What's happening to me?

- Hey, hey, hey, don't worry.

I'm not going anywhere, okay?

I'm going to stay right here by your side.

All right?

Now I told the doctors

about your situation

and they reassured me that the baby's

is going to be just fine. Okay?

What baby?

What do you mean, what baby, Rose?

Our baby.

Theo, there is no baby.

What do you mean there is no baby?

Of course there is.

There's no baby, Theo.

I'm not pregnant.

Honey, you're just in shock.

Of course you're pregnant,

look, here, feel your stomach.

See, you feel that?

I had an abortion.

No, you didn't. Why would you say that?

I had the abortion.

- I was going to tell you.

- No, you're just in shock.

- It was my decision...

- Listen, you...

You don't know what you're saying. Okay?

I've spoken to the doctors about it.

Honey, they've checked.

The baby is fine, you're fine.

Everything's going to be just fine.

Okay, you just need to get some rest.

Why are you speaking to me

like I'm a f***ing child?

Theo, listen to me. There is no baby.

I had an abortion two weeks ago.

And now there's someone after me

and I don't know who or why,

but someone has followed us here from home

and it's been here ever since we got here.

Listen, Rose, for God's sake,

no one is following you.

Why would I do this to myself?

Why would I cut myself, Theo?

Okay, who's this person then that...

would follow you into the showers

and slash you with a razor blade?

Why would anyone do that?

Why would I do this to myself?

I don't know why you did it, but you did.

It wasn't me, I...

Rose.

This isn't real!

Theo, something is happening to me.

Maybe they've been

giving me drugs or something.

I don't know. Why won't you believe me?

Your razor blade

was on the shower floor next to you.

Okay, I saw it.

There was no one else there.

It's okay.

Rose? Rose, calm down.

Rose, breathe more slowly.

Rose, calm down. Rose.

Rose, breath more slowly, Rose.

Hey, can someone get in here quick!

Rose, just breathe!

Rose, breathe slower. Breathe slower.

Breathe slower. Hey...

- Hey, where do you think you're going?

- I need to get out of here, don't stop me.

Excuse me, miss. Where do you think

you're going? Stop. Stop her.

- Come here now!

- Let me go! Let me go!

Let me go!

Let me go! Let me go!

Let me go! Let me go!

How are you feeling this morning?

You know why you're here, right?

Can you tell me what happened

at the hospital last night?

Did you and Mr. Peers have an argument?

What did you talk about?

Rose, it would be better for everybody

if you just gave me a statement.

We know what you did.

Whether it was in the heat of the moment.

We know what relationships can be like.

One minute, you're the best of pals,

the next minute, you can't stand

the sight of each other.

It wasn't Theo.

It was someone else.

F***ing lights.

Rose.

What the hell is happening?

Come on, come on, come on.

Come on.

Sh*t. Come on, come on.

Rose.

Rose.

Rose!

Rose!

Rose.

This is pointless, Rose!

Rose.

Rose.

We're going to find you, Rose!

Okay, Rose?

We're ready to begin.

I just want you to relax. Here we go.

You'll feel a slight scratch

from the needle.

I'm going to use a cannula,

which will cause a little bit of pressure.

I can't do this!

I want you to relax, Rose.

Please, please I can't do this.

Hello?

Hello?

Hello?

Hello, Rose. It's Dr. Shah here.

I've been trying to call you

for the past two weeks.

Rose, please pick up the phone.

I need to see you urgently.

I want you to know

that you are still pregnant.

I really don't know

why you left the procedure.

I need to see you as soon as possible.

The time is running out, Rose.

Please call me as soon as possible.

- Hey, wow, did you feel that?

- That's impossible.

The baby's fine. You're fine.

I can't do this!

Please, please I can't do this.

- I just want you to relax.

- I have to get out of here.

Rose?

Jesus.

Rose?

It's been six months since that weekend...

and you've still not spoken about it.

You need to start talking

or we're never going to get anywhere.

We're here to help you.

Rose?

Well, if that's it, then you might

as well go back to your room.

Rose?

Your baby is due any day now.

Have you given any thoughts to some names?

Theo.

His name is Theo.
