It's a bit difficult when we live under his roof. I don't know why it bothers you so much.

To be honest, it was George I was thinking about.

Why?

I was worried that ... ... new baby might upset him.

Oh, I see.

Do you think it will?

I don't know. We'll have to see how he reacts when I tell him.

He has had quite a lot to cope with on that score. First Jake and Mia coming into his life, and then Keira. Well, I know ... ... a bit
