Plot[]
Part One: As Nick enthuses to the idea of fatherhood, Natasha inwardly panics. She suffers stomach pains. John looks for jobs, willing to take on anything. Sian comes up with a plan to join the church choir so she and Sophie can see each other without Kevin and Sally finding out. Hayley tries to avoid Mary and her wedding planning. Becky and Steve give up smoking but find it hard going. Bumping into John in the cafe, Peter offers him a job in the bookies. Gail isn't pleased to hear that Nick and Natasha are back together. Roy congratulates a thrilled Fiz on her pregnancy. A worried Natasha makes an appointment at the medical centre.
Part Two: Agreeing to Sian's plan, Sophie tells a thrilled Sally of her plan to join the choir, starting that afternoon. Sally thinks it's a great idea and says she trusts her. Leanne congratulates Nick. John starts work in the bookies but Leanne's disapproving when she walks in and finds him, saying they don't want a kidnapper working behind the counter. John leaves downhearted. Sally sees Sophie off on the bus. Steve grabs a drag of Lloyd's cigarette. Going for her appointment, Natasha lies to a frosty Gail on reception, saying that she's got tennis elbow. An angry Audrey has a go at Peter for refusing to pay for his and Simon's haircut and tells him that she wants an end to the whole Lewis disaster. Sally spills the beans to Becky that she saw Steve smoking one of Lloyd's cigarettes. Mary pushes Hayley to decide who's her Maid of Honour. Hayley summons up the courage and says she doesn't want a wedding planner any more. Natasha tells the newly-installed Dr Matt Carter that she's been suffering from stomach pains since her abortion but wants to get pregnant again soon. Sophie and Sian attend choir practice, thrilled to get a chance to see one another. Natasha tells Dr Carter all that's happened and finds out she needs a month to recover. Assuming Natasha's seeing the doctor about her pregnancy, Nick bursts into the surgery and introduces himself as the proud father-to-be. Natasha's speechless.
