Claire Tells Her Mother

Don't they know how much you love your nature shows?" Claire turns the television on and it's a bird show. "That's better. So how are you today, Mum? Did you have an okay night?"
Claire fixes the blankets over her mother. "There's something I have to tell you. Something I should have told you a long time ago. I'm pregnant. I'm giving it away. It's for the best. I don't know how you did it, raising me alone. And I was just awful. So hard on you."
Claire leans down. "I'm so sorry, Mum. So sorry for all the awful things I said to you in the car, that I hated you and wished you weren't my mother, and I wished you were dead. It's all my fault. The accident and everything. I'm so sorry, Mum."
The Psychic's Warning

He gives Claire her money back and insists that she keep the baby. A few days later he calls and wakes Claire. She asks that he stop calling, and tells him that she is going to the adoption agency the next day. He has a plan for her, but she hangs up on him.
