*Harriet wrinkles her nose as it occurs to her she doesn't even know how the father of her unborn child takes his tea.*
No sugar for me, thanks. Apparently twenty years of living on coffee and cigarettes has taken its toll.
*Suddenly shy, she walks over to her handbag and takes something out before turning to Dimmock.*
It's... I - it's a picture. From - from a scan. Look -
*She swallows and takes the photo - an ultrasound scan - and hands it over.*
There, there's the head. And well, it's healthy. And it's all okay. I - I've got an appointment tomorrow. Back with my usual doctor, friend of John's. Kristina's busy in Paris so... Would you like to? I mean, you don't - don't have to but if you did, want to, y'know you could... could come with me.

*Harry lets out a breath she didn't realise she was holding. She nods and passes over the photo.*
You - you can keep that one. I've got some spare if you want to - ****, have you told your parents?

*rolls his eyes--this is definitely in his top five reasons why not to have friends*
*hands them their tea*
If this is just going to turn into a syrup-laden, ogle at cluster of parasitic cells with big brown eyes party, there are other, more suitable locations in which to do so.
*twitches, irritatedly*

Interesting analogy.
And you're here because you're a good citizen, trying to warn me? Or are you expecting me to do anything about it? Oh, don't get me wrong, I'm grateful for the information, I'm just wondering what any of it has to do with me.
*sips his tea*

In such a wildly hypothetical situation, I would, of course, realize it was a trap and find another means of rescuing this equally hypothetical friend. All five of my friends are too clever to get themselves in that situation and are equally capable of getting out of it.
*sips his tea again--he's growing annoyed. He doesn't want to talk about the theoretical or the sentimental, and right now that's all he's being offered*
*his hand is shaking slightly. His brain still plagues him with spontaneous fevers from time to time, and this is one of those. He's extremely fever-chilled*
*sees the look of concern on the others' faces*
I'm fine. Better check your text, you never know if it's someone telling you that my hypothetical friend is being strapped to Big Ben's clapper while wearing a bomb.

*sniffs skeptically*
Not him.
*they give him a strange look*
Oh, for God's sakes, it's obviously not him, just someone with plastic surgery to look like him. Scar behind the ear. Manuel didn't have one. So he's still out there.
*smirks*
Giving Moriarty a run for his money.

He's still out there?
*Harry's breathing becomes laboured as she starts to panic.*
He's still out there, and he knows I'm alive. I - I can't be here.
