I want you to know that I was glad in the end to have you, and Johnny was excited too about the idea of becoming a father. He had agreed to adopt Juliet and raise her, but I know he was especially looking forward to having his own child.
So, when it came to you being born I went away to Queen Charlotte's Hospital in London. It was the nearest hospital that would take me. Local hospitals didn't like dealing with unmarried mothers. There was a lot of stigma to having a child out of wedlock back then.
