Because George hurt his wrist?

No, because look, I'm a student, Kira.

I read books and write essays and do the cricket scoring, and I live at home because I've got no money.

That's where I am with my life, which is fine because it's what I've chosen.

I like it.

Okay.

But Amber, she's about to bring a new life into the world.

Doesn't get more grown up than that, does it? Yesterday at the hospital, I felt so out of my depth.

Why was it weird?

Well, my dad, right? He, he, he's suddenly wanting to spend all this time with me, which he's never wanted to do before.

Of course.

And I definitely can't talk about it to mom.

Probably not to Chelsea either.

Anyway, sorry, I mean, the basic thing is, Dad is taking an interest in me for the first time ever, and it's a bit weird.

But it's also really nice.

Uh, do you have large?

I think so.

Uh, here you go.

You can try it on and bring it back if it doesn't fit.

What? Since when?

It's a nice thought, really.

Thanks, George.

But, well, I don't think you should call the baby after me.

Wow.

Yeah.

Yeah, I know.

Suddenly feels like a rush to get everything ready.

Dad said he'll swap bedrooms with us, give us space for a cot, 'cause the baby will be in with us for the first six months at least.

And Ed's gonna help us redecorate.

Thanks.

Yeah, me and Brian are fine now.

You're listening to The Archers Omnibus from BBC Radio 4.

[upbeat music] [door chime]

Brad.

No, I am.

I just am, and I've got to be able to say it, 'cause I'll regret it forever if I don't.

And I need to know, are you in love with me, too? Amber?
