Plot[edit | edit source]

It's a dark and wet night. Gracie stands in front of her home, looking through the window at her ‘perfect’ family. She walks in and hangs up her coat. She looks at them while feeling her stomach. She walks over and sits down next to her mum. Sandy doesn’t acknowledge her and continues to watch television. “Mum, Dad I have something to tell you.” Gracie says. Sandy and Dwayne continue to watch television ignoring her. Gracie huffs and walks over to the tv and turns it off. Sandy and Dwayne get angry and ask her what she is doing. Gracie takes a deep breath.

Ant walks into the Henderson house and goes into the kitchen. Rachel and Natalie are talking about Elaine Gibson as he stands watching them. “That husband of hers is so loving and yet she doesn’t even appreciate it! Hate the woman.” Natalie says. Rachel nods her head and looks up to see Ant. Ant stands motionless as they stare at him. “Something wrong?” Rachel says. Ant tells them he is going to just come right out with it. Ant is about to tell them when he is grabbed by his waist and squeezed. It is Jake, Ant’s boyfriend. Ant sighs as he is taken away upstairs. Rachel and Natalie continue talking about Elaine.

“I’m pregnant. 3 months. Ant Henderson is the father.” Gracie says before running upstairs. Dwayne and Sandy both look at each other with anger. Dwayne knocks over the coffee table and starts blaming Sandy. “It’s all your fault. Your meant to talk to the girl about these things! You silly woman.” He says to her. Sandy gets up and points at him telling him it is not her fault their daughter is pregnant, “How dare you even blame me.” She says to him. Dwayne grabs her finger and tells her that this baby isn’t happening before going upstairs. Sandy sighs and looks over at the Henderson house.

Ant and Jake sit in Ant’s room. Jake can clearly see something is on Ant’s mind. He asks what’s wrong and Ant hesitates before telling him the truth. “You know what…I’m going to be honest. I got Gracie Foster pregnant. It was a mistake though. I still love you.” Ant tells him. Jake is stunned and his cheeks go red. “How could you do that? After all we have been through? I hate you!” Jake says before storming out. He rushes down the stairs and Natalie asks what all the shouting is about. Jake shouts the truth to them both before walking out. Natalie and Rachel stand stunned and Rachel screams “ANT HENDERSON. GET DOWN HERE NOW.”

Dwayne bangs on Gracie’s door shouting her name. Gracie sits crying on her bed telling him to go away. Sandy comes upstairs and tells him that this is not the way to deal with this. “Your right. I should go over there.” Dwayne says as he pushes Sandy out of the way. Sandy quickly follows him telling him not too. Dwayne slams the front door against the wall and walks out onto the front garden.

Rachel and Natalie scream and shout at Ant telling him that he is a disgrace to the family. Rachel walks out and makes eye contact with Dwayne. Ant goes upstairs to his room as Natalie follows Rachel out. “What’s your son playing at? Getting my girl pregnant?” Dwayne shouts at Rachel. “What’s your daughter playing at? Making my son have a baby he doesn’t want.” Sandy and Natalie look at each other nervously. Dwayne clenches his fist and Rachel says “Go on hit me big man. Give me your best shot.” She says as they stand in the middle of the lane. Natalie drags Rachel back and tries to hold her back. Ant and Gracie look at each other from their bedroom windows, both of them let out a huge sigh. Jake emerges from the business district, he has clearly been crying. He walks on the road about to go over to Rachel, when suddenly a car zooms across the pavement from the business district and knocks Jake right over. Jake lies screaming in pain on the ground. The Hendersons and Fosters stop there bickering for one moment as they stand in shock. The camera moves to a dark alleyway when the car pulls in. A trembling figure gets out the car and looks around. The camera moves round to it’s face to reveal Brad Foster.
