*A FEW WEEKS LATER*
Diane slowly opened her eyes and looked at the clock. It read 10:15am. She was puzzled. How could she have slept until this time? She didn't remember waking up earlier, but Grace usually woke her up at 5am, then 6,7 and 8!! She looked around the room to find herself alone. It was also very quiet in the apartment. 'Where were Alex and Grace?' she thought. She got out of bed, put on her dressing gown and slippers and walked into the living room.
ALEX: Sleep well?
She rubbed her eyes and saw that Alex was making her breakfast. 'What was going on?' she thought
DIANE: mmm.w.where's Grace?
ALEX: Kath and Nick have got her and we've got the whole day to ourselves. Sit down. Tea, coffee or orange juice?
DIANE: err.orange please.why's Kath got Grace? She doesn't need this now, after all she's been through
ALEX: Kath offered. She probably wanted something to take her mind off things, and I wanted to give you a break.you've been through a lot recently too.now breakfast won't be long, why don't you go back to bed and I'll bring it in to you
DIANE: Bu.
ALEX: Go on
Diane got up off the kitchen stool, still slightly puzzled and confused, and slowly went back into the bedroom and made herself comfy in bed.
A few minutes passed and Alex came in carrying a tray for Diane.
ALEX: There you go
Diane was slightly shocked. He had put so much effort into it, just to make her happy.
DIANE: Wow.
Alex smiled
ALEX: I aim to please
Alex laid down on his side next to Diane as she sipped some of the champagne. He picked up some of the strawberries from the tray and started feeding them to her.

Kath got up off of the sofa, holding Grace and started to walk over to the pram, but stopped as her vision went fuzzy and the pain in her head returned once again
NICK: Are you ok?
KATH: Mmm.just.got up too quickly
NICK: Are you sure?.it's been happening a lot lately
Kath forced a smile. She knew that her vision had been going fuzzy and she had had lots of pains in her head lately, but she didn't want to worry Nick. In fact it had been ever since that dreadful night and she didn't want to have to talk about that ever again now that Ed was in prison, the best place for him. Now all she wanted to do was look forward to her wedding.
KATH: Stop worrying.I'm fine

As Diane took the last mouthful of her breakfast Alex jumped off the bed, smiling
ALEX: Come on.get dressed
DIANE: Why? What's going on?
ALEX: Get dressed and you'll find out
DIANE: Alex! Tell me
He smiled and shook his head. He loved teasing her
DIANE: But.I won't know what to wear!
ALEX: It doesn't matter
DIANE: But.
ALEX: Come on
