Can Tom's promises to be a better husband be believed?
FOR WEEK COMMENCING 10TH JUNE
After finding out she’s pregnant, Belle feigns illness to hide her pregnancy from Tom and Mandy. Later, with Wendy’s support, she registers to visit the doctor, feeling apprehensive about her options.
When Cain lectures him for selling Belle's car without consulting him, a paranoid Tom accuses Belle of mouthing off about the car and Tom interrogates a nervous Belle.
As he raises his hand, a fearful Belle blurts out that she’s pregnant. As the dust settles from Belle’s shocking revelation, Tom’s demeanour changes as he pulls her in for a hug. They both cry, but Belle’s tears are not tears of joy and she urges him to keep it between them for now.
As the two of them take an afternoon stroll along River Walk with Piper, Belle is unsure whether to trust this new version of Tom as he promises to be a better husband.
With Tom seeming sincere in wanting to change, Belle softens as she dares to hope they still have a chance. But Tom can’t contain himself as he reveals the news about Belle’s pregnancy to Rhona.
Later, when Jimmy congratulates Belle, she is furious to learn that Tom let the cat out of the bag. Feeling her privacy’s been invaded, Belle struggles to keep a lid on her anger but Tom talks her round.
Softening, Belle feels hopeful and admits they might as well tell everyone now and tries to convince herself it's all going to be okay.
The next day, Belle finds herself locked in and after leaving some food to cook on the hob, Belle goes for a nap with Piper. Unbeknownst to Belle, a tea towel starts to singe in the kitchen whilst she naps.
Emmerdale continues Mondays to Fridays at 7.30pm on ITV1
