He starts pounding on Hayley’s chest again, more frantic this time, over and over. Finally, Hayley splutters back to life. Scott’s relief is palpable… He hears Kim and Alf’s voices calling for him. Scott yells back – in here! They need to get Hayley help now! Kim picks up his baby boy, utterly overcome by the moment – the magnificent, precious gift in his hand. In hospital, Flynn races straight over and tends to Hayley – her vitals are still okay, they need to get her in to theatre for the heart operation now!

Kim’s cuddling baby Noah, talking to him – telling his son how much he loves him… Irene and Hyde watch for a moment, then approach. Hyde – How is he? Kim looks up and smiles – he’s perfectly healthy.

Alf keeps pushing and Martha snaps a little – I’m fine! I can deal with it! But Alf is left worried…

Hayley opens her eyes and see Scott looking down at her. She smiles when she sees him (but she’s still weak and groggy). Hayley asks – the baby? Scott says the baby’s fine…you had a little boy…little Noah. Hayley is teary… Hayley – How did you know where I was? Scott – I followed my gut. Hayley smiles as they both realise there were far greater powers at work (the link between the two is undeniable).

Scott and Irene move out from Hayley’s room and in to the corridor…where Scott is stunned to see Amanda sitting waiting. She knows Scott has every reason to be angry with her, but there’s something he needs to know… Amanda is going to tell Scott the truth about the paternity, but Scott becomes really cutting and Amanda darkens, leaving Scott seething –oblivious to the fact that he’s just been responsible for not finding out the truth about the baby!
