Enid's POV

Me and Tristan were meeting Poppy. She was quite emotional understandably as she was having problems with her boyfriend and trying to still be friends with Emily, but this was collapsing too because Emily was afraid (as she had done three times before) that she would go back to her old ways

'She won't let me be friends anymore' she said wiping her tears. 'But we had so much fun, before she got her latest girlfriend. And I miss her'

She wiped another tear as it streamed down her face. Tristan ever the gentleman gave her some more tissues to wipe her cheeks

'At least I've got Jen' she continued through sobs. 'I still have fun with her, but I'm worried I'll get abandoned again'

Her face was getting red from crying. More tears were running down her cheeks and she was getting more distressed. Finally completely embarrassed she left

Anna's pov:

I wake up a few hrs later in a hospital room. I look around only to find William sitting down holding our baby girl in his arms. I don't want him to know I'm awake so I don't make any movement or sound except for a smile which I can't seem to stop as I continue to watch them.

William's POV:

As I am holding our baby girl (I'm sure she'll be as beautiful as her mother) I notice Anna smiling at us. I carefully lean my hand on her covered thigh and give it a soft squeeze, feeling her relaxed muscles easily give in as they offer no resistance. I slowly move closer and place the beautiful baby in her breast. I am dumbfounded (even though I have seen this plenty of times) seeing Anna's beautiful eyes filling with tears.

Anna's pov:

Although trying to be discrete so I could watch William with our daughter I guess he noticed as I fe!t  his hand leaning on the sheet covering my thigh and giving it a soft squeeze. Before I even have a chance to react I feel him place our daughter on my chest. I couldn't help but feel tears immediately fill my eyes. I'm in complete love and awe that we finally get the chance to start our family (something I've wanted for so long).

I don't hold back and as soon as I place my hand on my daughter's back I let my tears free flow down my face. One from the middle and one from the outer corner of both eyes.

Emily's girlfriend's POV

Enid and Tristan came to see me, to ask what to do about Poppy and Emily's disintegrating friendship

I didn't know what to suggest anymore than they did and our discussion went nowhere so they took their leave after about five minutes

After they left I just sat in our hall hugging my booted legs and letting tears run down my cheeks.

I loved Emily so much but she wanted to spend all her free time with me, not that that wasn't nice. It was just by refusing to make friends she was stifling me quite a bit

March the 15th couldn't come any quicker and it was a relief to me when it did. Audrey had texted that morning when I got up to tell me everything was ready.

I got dressed in jeans, a top and a jumper and my knee high boots and got into my taxi

I took my knee boots off in the hall as I arrived and got changed into overalls and gloves and the shoes

As I had been driven to Audrey's house, I suddenly realised that I hadn't done my research into how to smash a window. A quick Google search had told me the best method and whilst I wasn't exactly ready to go, I'm sure I was going to be fine

I had to choose up to five panes to smash, and I was certain I would probably break all five, such was my frustration at Emily over the past month.

My first window was the middle rectangular pane in the hall. Once I had cracked the glass, I noticed it was double glazed. Even more fun. My first attempt at window smashing wasn't exactly clean, but eventually I broke all the glass.

I debated which one to smash next. I moved upstairs and walked around having a look. I went into the spare room and saw a nice window overlooking the garden. The second attempt was slightly better and after this window had been smashed, I decided to go downstairs again

For my third window I chose the pane next to the front door. As I began breaking the glass I felt I was getting good at this.

When I had finished, I had another walk around. The scullery window was next on the list and it didn't take long before that was smashed.

That was four. For my final window I chose one of the windows on the stairs leading up to the second floor.

I breathed heavily after I had smashed my fifth and final window. Despite wearing ear plugs, there was some ringing in my ears from breaking so much glass.

I changed out of my overalls and back into my regular clothes. A group of glaziers were busy replacing the smashed panes and I went down into the garden, carrying my boots and left them to it

I pulled out my hair and let it fall to my shoulders. Then I unzipped my boots and put them on under my jeans. Audrey joined me as I ran my hands through my hair, tying it back into a ponytail

I still felt really frustrated with Emily.

'I love her so much' I told Audrey, tears streaming down my face. 'But I don't know what to do. She's not making friends while I'm here and she's becoming quite clingy. My work visa expires in three weeks and right now I want to just go back home to the UK'

I paused wiping my cheeks. More tears streamed down my face to replace them

'Thanks for letting me break so many of your windows'

'Your welcome' Audrey said. She explained the previous year she'd overbought replacement glass for Laura, but now she had to use the left over panes

'That's why I let you smash so many' she said ruefully. 'I needed to install them'

My taxi had arrived so after saying goodnight to Audrey, I click clacked my way across the driveway to meet him
