Belle Dingle has made it clear to Tom that she's not ready to start trying for children. 

When she told her husband, who is slowly but surely suffocating Belle in their marriage, he wasn't happy. Not only is he keen to crack on and have kids, he's desperate to have control of his wife and to keep her all to himself. 

So Belle's heart almost stops when she realises her period is late. Trying not to escalate her panic, she needs to get her hands on a pregnancy test.

Will she tell Tom or keep it to herself?
