I don’t think he would have said anything at all apart from the fact that he’d fainted at the sight of Debbie giving birth—falling, splitting his head open, and leaving Debbie to give birth alone while the nurses looked after him. We asked him more about the cut. In Touching from a Distance Debbie says that Ian had had a fit and cut his head, so what the truth of the matter is I’m not completely sure. All I know is that’s how we found out Ian had become a dad.
