Phoebe stared up at the ceiling as she lay flat on her bed. Her fingers gripped the corner of the scan photo at her side. What had just happened? Had she and Jack split up? She was still struggling to understand any of it. Her phone had rung four times since she’d arrived home but she couldn’t bring herself to talk to him. Maybe he wanted to apologise but Phoebe wasn’t in the mood to accept it with any grace. She didn’t care what he felt or how much he was hurting. In fact, she hoped he was hurting, because then he would know how it felt to be rejected. Sure, he had been subjected to a difficult night, but hadn’t they all? And nobody else had behaved with such utter disregard for her feelings.

It wasn’t just tonight either; ever since she had told him about the baby he had become a totally different person from the man she thought she knew. Well, if he didn’t want their baby then he would get his wish. There was no need to involve a man who didn’t want to be involved. Loads of mothers got by just fine on their own and Phoebe didn’t see why she should be any different. As far as she was concerned, there were no half measures: either he acted like a proper father or he stayed away for good.

She looked at her phone again. It had been silent for twenty minutes now. As the anger subsided, fear and sadness took its place. It was late now, too late to call her parents. But she needed them and the protective bubble that only they could weave around her to make her feel safe. She dialled the number, hoping they hadn’t yet gone to bed.

‘Mum…’ Phoebe’s voice cracked but she took a steadying breath. ‘Do you mind if I come over?’

‘Phoebe…? It’s half ten…’

‘I know. I’m sorry. If you’re going to bed it can wait –’

‘Don’t be daft. Is everything alright?’

‘No…’ Phoebe began to sob. ‘No, Mum, it isn’t…’

‘Right,’ Martha replied briskly. ‘Give us twenty minutes and we’ll be there to pick you up.’
