97. An urgent call from Natalie

At that moment, Peter’s phone rings.

Peter: It’s Natalie!

Laura: Let me talk to her… Natalie! Is everything ok?

Natalie: No, it’s not ok! Nothing is ok, Laura!

Laura: What’s happened? Is Jake ok?

Natalie: Yes, he’s here with me in the cab.

Jake: Hi, mummy! We’re going to the hospital!

Laura: To the hospital?! Natalie, what’s happened? An accident?

Natalie: No, no. It’s Alice! She’s in labour!

Laura: Oh, calm down Natalie, everything is going to be fine. We’ll see you at the hospital. Deep breaths!
