Except, the mother had never made it to hospital.
Then everything had happened so fast; the phone call from his boss, reporting that he'd gone AWOL (purely the fault of the receptionist, who had forgotten to report the reason of his absence), and the loss of his job; the bank, and their letter to inform him that they'd just repossessed his home; the shock of having to live, almost completely penniless, out on the streets of London.
But it wasn't the homelessness that bothered him the most.
It was the horror of being so close - and yet so far - to having a proper family.
