Her Mum Jess is also becoming more concerned. Jess has been happy to see her daughter married and living a normal life after her difficulties as a teenager. Tina was a drunk in her teens and finally went into rehab when she was 16. The pressure of the oncoming baby has led to Tina drinking a bit more again until her past finally comes out; Joe had no idea and is worried about their future.
