Ella didn't understand why Ju- Daddy (she liked that) came to pick her up so soon, and without mummy, and why he was in such a hurry. But she liked it when he walked fast because that was much faster than she could walk.
They came into a house with many doors all in a row on both sides of a hallway, but then they opened one and mummy was lying down. 'Mummy!' Ella said with a grin, though she tilted her head at the same time. 'Are you ill mummy?' she asked. 'Why are you lying down?'
Mummy didn't have time to answer though, because a blonde lady started to talk to her and she nodded, grinning at the thought of pretty colours and hearing the baby.
The lights were really pretty and she giggled when they danced in the air, clapping her hands. 'Can I hear the baby now?' she asked, thinking that must be why Mummy and Daddy looked so happy.
