*A MONTH LATER*
On her way home from work Diane stopped at a chemist before quickly driving the rest of the way home. Once at the flat she rushed into the bathroom and opened the pregnancy test that she had just bought. Five minutes passed and she read the instructions again: 'TWO BLUE LINES indicates that the test is POSITIVE'. Her hands started to shake as she looks at her test. Just then she heard the front door open and Ric call out
RIC: Diane, Honey. Are you here?
She quickly dropped the test and instructions in the bin and went out to meet Ric
DIANE: Hi
He kisses her on the cheek
RIC: My last operation was cancelled so I finished early. Are you ok? You look a little flustered
DIANE: No I'm fine. Honestly. Just tired. I think I might go to bed. I've got an early start in the morning
RIC: Ok. If you're sure. I'll join you in a minute.
*NEXT MORNING*
'Bleep, bleep, bleep'
Diane woke up and switched off her alarm, trying not to wake Ric, as he didn't have to go to work until later
*AT THE HOSPTIAL*
Diane set off to find Alex and found him in the corridor.
DIANE: Alex, I need to talk to you
ALEX: Diane, can it wait? I was due in theatre 5 minutes ago
Alex rushed off.
*BACK AT THE FLAT*
Ric woke up and went into the bathroom where he noticed a blue box in the bin. He picked it up and a huge grin creped across his face as he discovered the positive test. He quickly got ready and rushed to work to find Diane.
He met her at the nurses station
DIANE: Ric are you ok?
RIC: Yes. (He raised his voice) Can I have everybody's attention please?
Everyone gathered round as Ric put his arm around Diane
RIC: We have some news
DIANE: (whispers to Ric) Do we? Ric please don't
RIC: (to Diane) It's ok. (To the rest of the group) I'm pleased to announce that we're going to have a baby
Everyone clapped and cheered but Diane looked shocked and slightly anxious. Everyone congratulated Ric and Diane before going back to work.
RIC:I have to go, but I'll see you later
Alex walked over to Diane
ALEX: Congratulations
He then walked off but Diane called after him
DIANE: Alex, wait. I.
She then started to run after him into his office
DIANE: Alex
ALEX: oh, sorry, what was it you were going to say earlier?
DIANE: It's not Ric's baby
ALEX: What? Sorry?
DIANE: It's not Ric's baby. It's yours
ALEX: What? No.How.How do you know? You can't be sure. It was just one night.
DIANE: I know it was, but it's yours. The dates match up
Alex looked shocked
ALEX: Does Ric know?
DIANE: Do you think he would have made that speech if he did?!
