It was lunch time and Janet and Rachel were in the ladies loo.

"What? So he just confessed his love for you there and then?" asked Janet from inside the middle cubicle.

"Pretty much, yeah," Rachel, who was sitting on the side by the sink, replied.

"Wow."

"I know." Rachel pulled her legs up and tucked her knees under her chin.

"Rachel, I know that tone. You can't seriously be considering saying yes," Janet asked as a sort of half question. She couldn't believe how stupid her best friend was being. As much as she hated Nick, she thought that Rachel marrying him was for the best. She was carrying his child and he loved her with all his heart. She didn't hate Kevin though, she just thought that he wouldn't make a very good husband. He'd never do anything romantic, he wasn't the type, and she knew how much of an arse Nick could be, he'd make sorting out custody and visiting hours to see his child a nightmare.

"I don't know what I want anymore, Janet. Bloody Kevin had to go and mess everything up again. Before he said that, I knew what I wanted, I'd never been more sure of it in my whole life."

"Well, do you love Nick?" Janet asked, coming out of the cubicle and going to wash her hands. She thought it was simple. Rachel should marry the man she loves.

"Yes, of course I do."

"And do you love Kevin?"

Rachel paused for a moment. "Yes, I think I do," she replied.

Kevin and Mitch were in the men's toilets. He still felt a bit shook up about what had happened in the canteen earlier, but he didn't let it show.

"So Rachel admitted that she's loved you ever since she started working here?" Mitch asked with raised eyebrows. He doubted this was true.

"Yep, too right she did!" Kevin knew this wasn't true but he didn't want everyone in the office to know that he had cried when Rachel walked away and had practically begged her to ditch Nick and marry him instead.

"Oh, right. So why hasn't she said anything before now?" Mitch knew that Kevin had a tendency to stretch the truth now and again.

"Because she's too nice, obviously! She didn't want to hurt Nick and she didn't know how I felt about her, she didn't want to look like a complete knob in front of the whole office." Like me, I mean.

"Are you two getting married then?" Mitch asked, expecting Kevin to say yes and to ask him to be his best man, he was just about the only person in the whole station who didn't think that Kevin was a total waste of space.

"Nah, I told her to stay with Nick, didn't I?" Kevin thought it was obvious. Mitch looked confused. Kevin tried to explain. "She's having Nick's baby and she lives with him. I decided to be the bigger man, she said she loves both of us so I thought that it would just be easier to let her marry Nick." I sound like quite the hero, Kevin thought to himself.

"What do you mean 'yes'?!" Janet asked. She was in complete shock at what Rachel had just told her.

"God, how simple is it, Janet? I love Nick and I love Kevin too." Rachel looked up towards the ceiling, trying to fight away tears. She felt so bad about telling Kevin that she didn't love him and leaving him in the canteen, silently sobbing to himself.

"But how? You haven't told me anything and we tell each other everything, Rach."

"Well I didn't know myself till a few hours ago, Janet. It was just what he said to me in the canteen, you know? He said he thinks I'm beautiful and he could never love anyone as much as he loves me. He said his insides go like jelly when he looks at me." Rachel gave a small laugh. "He was saying all this stuff to me, Jan, and I don't know. I get this warm, fuzzy feeling inside when I see him but I didn't realise that I loved him until I had to turn my back on him and tell him that I was still going to marry Nick. And as for the kiss…" Rachel shrugged.

"Woah, what? You kissed?!" Janet was in even more shock than she had been in earlier.

"Yeah, it was just an accidental kiss, it didn't mean anything."

"Not to you, but it probably meant the world to him! You've got yourself into some deep shit, Rachel, and you need to get yourself out, quick, for all our sakes!" Janet looked at her watch and saw that her lunch break was nearly over. She picked up her handbag from the side and left Rachel to sit there and think about things.

"Look, Kev. I don't mean to sound rude, but are you sure that Rachel loves you? She's not your type and, well, she's with Nick."

"I know she's with Nick, but only because I told her to be with him. If I hadn't, she'd have dumped him by now and we'd be engaged. And what do you mean 'not my type'? She is my type! Tall, skinny, nice hair. Actually, I could imagine me with a supermodel on my arm!" Kevin joked as he reached to open door to go back to work. As he opened it, Rachel was coming out of the ladies opposite.

Rachel looked up from the floor to see Kevin coming out of the toilets. She realised that she had this feeling in her stomach, she didn't know what it was, she'd never felt it before. She'd definitely never felt it when she looked at Nick. She then knew what she had to do, it was so clear to her.

"Yeah, I decided. I will marry you."
