She’s coached countless women through their labours over the years and she’s always dreamed of getting married and starting a family herself. Her parents have been together for 35 years and counting and she always saw herself having a similar relationship with someone one day. When she met Dr Chris Bellingham at work and they discretely started dating, she thought he could finally be the one. But when an unplanned pregnancy raised the question of marriage she was devastated to hear him say he couldn’t marry her.
But when Chris came face to face with the risk of losing Vicky during her labour, he realized how much he truly loved her and he confessed that he was already married, but that it was years ago to a woman from Gambia who needed a visa. He promised he’d find her to divorce her so he could marry Vicky if she would say yes – which she did.
Now Chris is determined to find his ‘wife’ so he can marry Vicky even though Vicky’s priorities have shifted with the arrival of their baby son and she’s told him she isn’t so bothered anymore. But he’s adamant and so he’s set off to find her, leaving Vicky alone holding their baby son Ben and trying to juggle a full time job.
