"Hiya Sir."
"How are you?"
"Not too bad. Thanks for catching me."
"My pleasure Barbara. Did they say when you can leave?"
"Yeah, soon, but you go. I'll take a cab."
"You won't. You've had a shock."
"It was bigger than you think."
"The doctor told me. I said I was your partner. It was an easy mistake."
"Oh God! I'm so sorry. I had no idea, honestly."
"He said three weeks. It wasn't hard to work out."
"We were drunk and I was careless."
"Don't blame yourself. We were both there remember."
"I initiated it; a silly once off and now I've ruined everything."
"It was anything but silly! We weren't that drunk and we rather enjoyed ourselves as I recall. I could've said no Barbara, if I'd wanted to, and I much prefer to think of it as the first time. In fact I couldn't bear the thought of it being the only time."
"You don't have to be nice Sir. What do you want me to do?"
"You first. What do you want to do? I'll support any decision."
"I, I think I want to keep it but I don't expect anything."
"Give me your hand. I retrieved this from the bank vault last week. It's not how I planned to ask you but it's the right time. Will you marry me? It's something I want very much. The baby only makes it better."
"But I'm not what you want in a wife."
"You are, but more importantly you're what I need."
"Stop kissing me like that. I can't be objective...I shouldn't...oh Tommy...stop it...okay, okay I will. Now come back here."
