Miranda pauses, she forgot what Gary's fake name was.
GARY: Joseph.
Gary shakes her hand.
AMANDA: It's been a while.
MIRANDA: Hasn't it.
AMANDA: Are you here to pick up your boys?
Miranda and Gary look to each and frantically try to work out how old their fake children would be.
MIRANDA: No, not our boys.
AMANDA: Oh.
MIRANDA: Yes, well...
Miranda looks to the camera.
MIRANDA: What do I do?
Gary interrupts.
GARY: No Cliff is 13 and Richard is 11. Both at secondary school now.
MIRANDA: Yeah, that works, okay then.
The children start to run out of the school. Noah and Joshua run up to them. Miranda and Gary usher the two children out to the car.
MIRANDA: Must dash, it was lovely to see you again.
Amanda waves them off.
NOAH: Are we coming to yours?
MIRANDA: We were thinking of going to the park, what do you think!
NOAH/JOSHUA: YES!
The car drives off.
EXT: In a park. Joshua, Noah and Gary are playing football. Miranda is sat on the bench eating a banana. She addresses the camera.
MIRANDA: This is my third one, but thing is I don't even like bananas! Must be a craving! Oh my, that is a weird feeling. Drum roll please. I've come to the decision that I am going to tell Gary about the baby tonight. I hope spending time with Josh and Noah will sway him.
The football comes over next to Miranda. Noah comes to get it.
NOAH: Will you play?
MIRANDA: I'm not very good tiny one, I'm sure you'd do a better job without me.
NOAH: Come on!
Miranda gets up and follows Noah.
GARY: Oh Josh, we have competition!
The four of them start to play. Noah runs past Joshua and Gary and scores. He runs back to Miranda who high fives him. Gary then picks him up!
GARY: Go Josh, quick! Score!
