Owen met Alex as he walked slowly down the corridor.
OWEN: I've called Diane for you
ALEX: Owen?
OWEN: Yeah?
ALEX: Can you do something for me?
OWEN: Sure. What?
ALEX: Um... I want a paternity test.
OWEN: Are you sure?
ALEX: Yeah
They walked into Owens office where he took a swab from Alex
OWEN: I'll send this off straight away
Diane came down and met Alex
DIANE: Are you ok?
ALEX: Yeah
DIANE: Can I see the baby?
They walked towards the baby room
DIANE: Alex. She's beautiful. You must be so proud
ALEX: No Diane. I.
DIANE: Let's get you back to your office
After an hour Alex's phone rang. It was Owen.
OWEN: Alex it's Owen. I've got the test results
ALEX: And?
OWEN: Do you want to come down and see me?
ALEX: No. Tell me now
OWEN: I'm sorry Alex. She's not yours
Alex put down the phone
DIANE: Alex?
ALEX: She's not mine
DIANE: What?
ALEX: The baby. She's not mine
DIANE: Alex I'm sorry
ALEX: How could she have done this to me? She must have been sleeping with him when we were still together. He said they'd been together a year. We only broke up eight months ago. How could she have done this?
Alex began crying. Diane put her arm around him and put his head on her shoulder.
DIANE: Why don't you come and stay at mine?
ALEX: No. You and Ric have only been married a month. You don't need me hanging around
DIANE: Ric's still on that course in London. You'll be doing me a favour by keeping me company
ALEX: I don't know
DIANE: Come on. I wont take no for an answer
ALEX: Doesn't look like I've got much choice then does it.
Diane puts her arm around him as they walk off towards the car park.
OWEN: I've called Diane for you
