She loves her career as a midwife, and enjoys living on her own - but can't help but feel like it's time for a change.

Rebecca is heavily pregnant and is thrilled to have her friend on board doing most of the work. Then there's Emily's competitive and jealous kitchen assistant, who thinks she should be head cook.
