Mac walked up and down the corridor, waiting for the call on his pager, meaning that the test results had come. He had told the lab that the results were for a patient, and they needed them urgently, as he needed to know for treatment purposes.

Guy walked down the corridor, on his way to the canteen. He saw Mac, and tried to tiptoe backwards. Mac caught sight of him, and began to stride towards him. Guy turned around and began to run slightly back where he came from. He ran out into the garden; he knew Mac was faster than him, and he didn't want a showdown in the middle of the hospital. He was in the middle of the garden when his legs gave way. Mac had rugby-tackled him to the floor, and was currently tugging, pulling and pushing at every part of Guy he could find. Guy tried to shove him off, and Mac raised his fist backwards. Guy went to cover his face.

"Mac, stop! Stop it! Let's just talk. Please. Stop."

Mac rolled off Guy, breathing heavily. He sat next to him, and glared at him. Guy sat up, brushing himself off.

"What the fuck did you do that for? Why do you always have to ruin things? You always want what you can't have, so you try and fucking take it all away from me. WHY?"

"Mac, Mac, I haven't done anything. I never wanted all of this."

"Then why did you do it? How long did it take you to get the results printed? Well, I've spoiled your plan. I'm having a re-test. Then this whole…mishap… can be resolved, and I can get on with my life again. Meanwhile, can you stay away from me and Caroline, please."

"I didn't do anything wrong. Sue sent me the note. I wasn't going to show Caroline, because…"

"Because what?"

"No… I'm not going to mess things up. I just want her to be happy."

"Oh you do, do you? I think you need your head testing, Secretan, because all you are coming out with is a pile of shit!"
"I'm not! I'm not the one who has put Caroline through everything under the sun, just to shack up with some mad Scot, and fuck everything up again."

Guy found Mac's fist in the side of his face, and pretty soon, Mac was on top of him again. Guy rolled him over, trying to pin him down. He didn't want to fight. Mac held on to Guy's collar and glared at him in the face.

"Get the fuck off me!" shouted Mac.

"No! Not until you understand!"
"Understand what? There is nothing to understand! All I know is that you are a bastard, and you are trying to ruin everything! Did you think that if I was the father of Sue's child that I might go and be with her? Leave you to make a move on Caroline?"

"I'm not trying to ruin this! I only want what is best!"

"For who? Yourself?"

"No!"

"Then who? Who else could possibly interest Guy but himself? You're so absorbed in yourself, you don't care what chaos you leave behind you, just as long as you have had a good time…" Mac was silenced by Guy grabbing his collar, and raising his fist backwards.

"You have no idea. I only want what is best for Caroline. You have no idea of what you have put me through. You have been so blinkered by wanting to have your own way with her that you forget you only got her because you got there first. You knew I liked her."

"Liked? LIKED? That's not the same as being in love! Me and Caroline had a real chance of being together, of being in love, and you had to go and spoil it!" shouted Mac.

"ALRIGHT! You want to hear me say it! I love Caroline. That's right… I… LOVE… CAROLINE. You happy now, you tosspot?"

They both turned to face Caroline, standing there silently looking at the pair of them. She turned and walked back into the hospital, dropping the paternity test as she broke into a lopsided run.
