Joanna was sitting in her office, blowing over a cup of strong coffee to try and cool it.
Outside in the office, Kim, Rachel and Harriet had taken their shoes off. They were kneeling down, and putting their shoes over their knees, so it looked as if that was where their legs ended. They were trying to walk around in them, but kept falling over. Karen looked at them disapprovingly, and gave a huff, looking away.
Joanna walked out of her office, and saw the three of them. She began screaming hysterically, rooted on the spot, and then ran out of the office. Kim, Rachel and Harriet looked at each other, concerned. They shook their shoulders, and carried on.
Guy sat in the locker room. He could overhear everything that Mac was saying to Caroline, and it broke his heart, because he knew that everything that Mac was saying to Caroline was a lie. He held a note from Sue in his hand, occasionally staring at it in disbelief. He didn't know whether to tell Caroline or not. He felt so responsible for her welfare, and didn't want her to get hurt. If he told her, she would be really upset, but she might think that he was trying to make her go off Mac, or deliberately trying to make things go wrong for her, and hate her. If he didn't tell her, then she might walk off into the sunset with that lying ginger bstard, and then she might get hurt by him later, when she found out, if she ever did, and then if she found out that he, Guy, knew, then she would still hate him, but, he supposed, even more, as he had kept it from her.
Guy ran his hands through his hair, unsure of what to do. He stared at the floor. He didn't see Caroline walk up next to him, and pick the note from his hands. He turned around to face her, and tried to grab it from her. She was well practiced at reading test results however, and so she had absorbed the necessary information before Guy could take it back from her. She thrusted it into Guy's hands and sat down next to him, very quietly. She had gone completely white. Mac was the father of Sue's child.
Mac walked into the silent room, looking from Guy to Caroline. He rested a hand on her shoulder, as if to steer her away from Guy. She stood up immediately, looked at him bitingly in the face, and walked out of the room, throwing his hand off her shoulder.
"What did you say to her?" Mac snapped at Guy.
Sue sat in her office, a smug look on her face, knitting a tiny cardigan. Mac stormed into the office, slamming the door behind him. He sat down in the chair opposite her. She carried on knitting, and started humming a lullaby. He stood up, and knocked the knitting out of her hands. Sue let out a shocked gasp, and looked at the knitting where it had fallen on the floor, and then back to Mac.
"Why, Doctor Macartney…"
"What…Why…How did you…Just…"Mac stuttered, and then paused for a moment, "Can you please explain this." Mac pulled out the paternity test results and held them up to Sue's face.
"How did you… how did you get hold of them?"
"You gave them to Guy. Explain."
"It's simple enough, Doctor Macartney. I'm pregnant, and you, my lovely, are the Mufasa of my Simba."
"I can't be… I would never…"
"Excuse me, Doctor Macartney, wait there just a minute. How rude. Would you like the test again?"
"Yes, actually I would. How on earth did you get a sample of my DNA for the test in the first place, anyway?" Sue relaxed back in her chair, and tapped her nose. Mac stood up, grabbed Sue's arm, and walked her down to the labs.
Caroline was still sitting next to Guy in silence. He was wondering whether he should break the silence, or if she might hit him. Well, it certainly resolved the dilemma of what to do with Sue's note. He looked over at her, and saw a couple of tears rolling down her cheeks. He looked at the floor again, and felt his heart break with her.
