When 28 year old Ginny Merritt finds out she is expecting an unwanted child, she goes into a state of panic, although she knows for certain her husband Nick is going to be over joyed at the news, she decides to keep him in the dark for as long as she can.
She doesn't want to be a mother. She does not want to bring a baby into the world.

'I can vaguely remember having dreams, more like terrible nightmares last night. I would see the tiny baby on the floor and just walk past it, ignoring it's cries for attention, then force myself to wake up, just to fall back into another terrifying nightmare where I would suffocate the baby with my bare hands. I felt like a monster even though it wasn't real. That's not the way it happened.'

The key in the bottle that her father continuously chugs from holds all the answers.

Then he gets word that his cat, Bernie, just died and he can collect him and bring him home!
