Little black spiders Page #3

There are no locks on the doors here.

It's not a prison.

So...

...what's it going to be?

I want to come back, Sister.

Pardon?

I want to come back, Sister.

That's fine.

This is the last time.

If you run away again,

then you can't come back.

Then you will really be

out on the street.

You should be grateful

you've still got us.

Thank you.

Rox...

I'm all alone.

That's not true.

I'm there for you, little one.

I once heard of someone whose

baby was born with a water head.

The head was so enormous...

It was like a giant watermelon.

And it tore her, from front to back,

anus and all.

She was never the same again.

Incontinent and everything.

The soup's ready.

Come and have a seat.

I was in love.

I was crazy about him.

But he was married.

And when I got pregnant, the baby

was suddenly my problem.

I had to figure it out on my own.

I wasn't allowed to go back home,

unless I had an abortion.

I wasn't able to.

Then I was given this address.

Sister Simone was my saving grace.

And what happened to your baby?

I did what was best for my child.

I gave it away.

You must miss it.

Not a day goes by that

I don't think about my little son.

He's turning seven this year.

I wouldn't be able to do that.

My son has everything

he needs, Katja.

My baby needs me, and I'm also

going to give her everything...

- A baby costs money, Katja.

- Yeah, I know...

...but I'm working and I'm saving.

It will be OK.

Anything is possible... anything.

But think about yourself too.

Think about yourself, Katja.

I'm not going to wear that dress.

No matter what you say.

It makes me want to puke!

I'd rather go naked.

My parents are here!

They're coming to get me!

What?

- Have a safe trip home. Goodbye.

- Thank you.

Bye.

Mom, wait for me!

You're animals!

You don't even do that to a dog!

Calm down. Calm down, I say!

Mia!

- Oh, no.

- I have to go and get help. Quickly!

Who are those pathetic types?

Mr and Mrs Average from a nice,

Christian family.

Don't you get it yet?

It's not for me, you know.

I know mine already.

Decent people.

I can't complain.

I'll get my old life back.

As if that's so easy.

Maybe it's for you?

You haven't signed anything, have you?

I don't think so.

Are you sure?

Ah, Katja.

You again. Is something wrong?

I'd like to phone the orphanage.

Can you do it tomorrow?

I've got visitors now.

I'd like to do it now, please.

OK, quick then.

You don't have to be present, do you?

You shouldn't be here!

Look what I got, aunty Simone!

Beautiful, isn't it?

Come, we're going to fill it up.

Do it like this. They have to cook.

They have to make a meal.

Cecilia...

My brother thinks this has to stop.

- He's going to start asking questions.

- So what?

- He's all I've got.

- I know.

I know how important he is to you.

I don't want to lose him either.

But this always takes longer

than scheduled.

Dear madam, for personal reasons

It's impossible for me...

...to bring up my child.

I will not undertake any action that will

hinder the adoption process of the child.

I transfer all my rights to the family

who will adopt this child.

Thank you for all your

understanding and compassion.

Signed, Katharina Beersman.

And now?

Say it again.

Remember that.

That's where I live.

When I've had my baby,

you can come and live with me.

Everything will be fine.

Can't you hear the music?

- It's really loud.

- I can't hear anything.

Come on, listen carefully.

There's a guy standing there

looking at you.

Really?

What does he look like?

Very cute.

Tall.

Curly hair?

Yes, dark blond curls.

And nicely built.

And chest hair.

Quite a lot of chest hair.

Lots of chest hair.

Has he got a car?

Yes, he's got a car.

He's a real gentleman,

and he wants to dance with you.

Surely he doesn't want to dance

with me. I'm far too fat.

No! He thinks you're

the prettiest girl at the party.

Really?

Yes, really.

He wanted you.

He's wondering

what he thinks is more beautiful.

Your eyes...

...or your mouth...

...or your hair.

He can't choose.

He thinks you're very beautiful.

Vera is pretty.

Or Suzy.

Or Helena.

Or Herman, if it's a boy.

Herman?

No, I don't like that.

No, I'd call mine...

...Jimmy...

...or Andy.

Listen to me.

That's too tight.

Hey, is that normal?

I have heard of it.

What would it taste like?

I don't know. Try it.

Don't cry, Rox.

I'm not crying. I'm happy.

Then say so, silly!

Rox?

Are you OK?

Are you OK, Rox?

I think I ate something bad

yesterday.

But we had the same food.

Yes, that's true.

Where does it hurt?

- I think it's started.

- It's already better now.

Roxanne, they're contractions.

Really. Let's go inside.

Promise me that you won't

leave me alone with those nuns?

Yes, I promise.

Really?

Really.

- I'm really kind of scared.

- I can tell.

- How far apart are they?

- Fifteen minutes.

- So it hasn't really started yet.

- I think it's started with me too.

Really! They're contractions.

- Yes.

- Yes, I've really got contractions.

If you think that those are contractions,

it's not that bad.

We've still got time to go by car.

Why by car?

Don't we just go downstairs?

It's Sunday, so Dr Goossens isn't there.

We're going to a different hospital.

I'll let Lacroix know.

Take care.

Bye, little babies!

- Is it far?

- Just a little longer.

- Simone?

- Yes?

Did you speak to your brother yet?

Yes, I phoned him.

It's arranged.

And?

Once a year at Easter.

Once?

Once?

Yes, at Easter.

But I can't see my boy just once!

That's not right.

Cecilia, not now.

I can't do that.

Then rather not at all.

I'm not going to give it away, Katja.

I'm not going to give it away.

Then we need to get out of here.

Sit down, you!

You can't order me around anymore.

I'm keeping my baby!

We need to get to a hospital,

or there won't be any baby to keep.

Did you hear what I said, Simone?

I need to take a sh*t now.

- How far apart are they?

- One minute.

Are we nearly there yet?

Are we nearly there yet?

Come on, do something!

Help me.

- Stop the car!

- Give her the Ventolin.

Here, breathe that in.

Breathe that in.

It will make you calm.

Sing a song.

- France?

- What?

Nothing?

You can do it, Rox.

She's in labor. So is she.

- No, I don't have any contractions.

- Where is Dr Lacroix?

Simone, I don't have any contractions.

I'm not due for another three weeks.

- Calm down.

- Let go off me!

- Calm down!

- No, I'm not ready yet!

We're going to induce it.

That's normal.

- Just sign with an x.

- I have a name.

Induce labor, whatever.

The pediatrician still needs to check him.

Come, my sweetheart.

But you're coming back, right?

Where is she?

Babies sleep in the nursery.

You both need your rest.

- It won't be necessary. I want her with me.

- That's not how it's done, Katja.

You could suffocate her.

And besides, you need to rest.

It was a difficult labor.

You better get some rest.

Hush.

Where is Roxanne?
