During the phone call with her mother Ellen had suggested that if her concern grew that she should dial for the emergency services. During dressing Jamie she found that he was hot to the touch so set off in search of the baby thermometer they kept just in case it was ever needed. Jo remembered back when she was younger and her mother used to tuck the thermometer under her armpit, her arm down by her side so did just that and muttered a curse of 'fuck' when the temperature came onto the screen. Pressing the phone back to her ear she called an ambulance, soon after calling her mother to meet her at the house as she couldn't get a hold of Dean and needed the moral support.

When Dean arrived he found Ellen sat in a seat closest to the entrance and Jo pacing the room as she hugged herself tight.
