It was a dark, cold stormy night. The trees were wildly swinging in the
wind. The air was cold. And the rain pounded down the windows of Diane and
Alex's apartment as they tried to get some sleep. Diane suddenly felt
another pain in her stomach. They had been coming on and off for about the
past hour and a half. She looked at the clock on the bedside table. It read
2:35. She looked over at Alex who was, somehow, fast asleep. She felt
another pain and began to panic. She knew what the pain was, and that there
was worse to come. She knew what was happening. The baby was coming. She
was finally going to be a mum.
She prodded Alex in the side, to try and wake him. It didn't work and he carried on sleeping. She prodded him harder
DIANE: ALEX!
He shot up
ALEX: ow! What was that for?
He looked at the clock and laid back down
ALEX: It's half two in the morning.go back to sleep
DIANE: Alex!
ALEX: What?
DIANE: Agghh!
ALEX: Diane?
DIANE: Alex.I think the baby's coming
He sat up again, looking shocked, nervous and happy all at once.
ALEX: err.ok.right.what do I do?
DIANE: Driving me to the hospital would be a good start
ALEX: Ok.right
He quickly got out of bed, threw some trousers and a T-Shirt on, put on some shoes and ran out of the door.
He stopped and quickly ran back inside the apartment.
ALEX: Car keys!
He ran out the door again and down to the car
ALEX: Uh! Diane!
He quickly ran back up to the apartment where Diane was dressed, waiting by the bed with her hospital bag in her hand
DIANE: I wondered how long it would take you to remember me!
ALEX: Sorry honey.I'm just so excited.and nervous
DIANE: I know.calm down.are you going to be warm enough in that T-Shirt? There's a gale out there
ALEX: Yeah, I'll be fine, now come on lets get you to the hospital.I don't want to have to deliver this baby myself!
She prodded Alex in the side, to try and wake him. It didn't work and he carried on sleeping. She prodded him harder
DIANE: ALEX!
