Biography
Soon after being released from prison, where she was held after grooming her ex-boyfriend David's teenage son Jacob, Maya gave birth to a baby boy but left him on David and Jacob's doorstep on Christmas Day with a note asking them to look after him. They were initially unsure who the father was but to their relief a DNA test soon concluded that the baby was in fact David's. Whilst waiting for the DNA results the family refrained from reporting the incident to Social Services and then David feared they would take Theo away from him. However, Doctor Liam Cavanagh who was a friend of the family and had helped with the DNA test, insisted they reported it as he needed to register him as a patient so he could treat him properly if he ever needed it. Thus, after keeping his presence secret for two weeks, David finally called Social Services. After contacting Maya contacted Maya the Social Service worker revealed Theo was actually named Alex on the birth certificate. He also informed David he would need to apply through a court for a parental responsibility order which would secure his rights to Theo.
