What Happens Now

`I was pregnant with the baby of a man I had met once.
What was one normally left with after a first date? A bad case of thrush?¿

After eight years together, Lil Bailey thought she¿d already found `the one¿ - that is, until he dumped her for a blonde 20-something colleague. So she does what any self-respecting singleton would do: swipes right, puts on her best bra and finds herself on a first date with a handsome mountaineer called Max. What¿s the worst that can happen?

Well it¿s pretty bad actually. First Max ghosts her and then, after weeing on a stick (but mostly her hands), a few weeks later Lil discovers she¿s pregnant. She¿s single, 31 and living in a thimble-sized flat in London - it¿s hardly the happily ever after she was looking for.

Lil¿s ready to do the baby thing on her own - it can¿t be that hard, right? But she should probably tell Max, if she can track him down. Surely he¿s not that Max, the highly eligible, headline-grabbing son of Lord and Lady Rushbrooke, currently trekking up a mountain in South Asia? Oh, maybe he wasn¿t ignoring Lil after all....
