Elizabeth rushed down the stairs still putting her shoes on. She was rushing downstairs to meet her husband who'd just pulled up from work.
He was expecting her to be ready when he got home but time had gotten away from her.
She got to the end of the stairs and took a ragged breath calming herself down slightly. She saw the drink she'd left on the bench when she'd gone upstairs and even though it had gone slightly warm threw it down.
Her husband pete strolled through the door and spotting her smiled and walked over to give her a hug.
"Babe you didn't have to rush to get ready if you ran out of time"
She looked away and thought to herself
"if only you knew"
They let each other go and pete made his way upstairs.
He got to the top of the stairs and bumped into the gardener jared.
"Oh, hey jared, wots goin on?""Just came up to clean up a little, sorry""No that's cool, you're welcome to"
He continued to the room and shut the door.
Jared made his way down the stairs and hastily sped out the door shooting Elizabeth a look as he left.
Elizabeth sat catching her breath and her thoughts while she could.
She was so lost in her thoughts that when pete came back down stairs and went to give her a hug she moved his arms and asked
"Wot are you doing?"
When she turned to see the look on petes face she apologised
"Sorry babe, you startled me"
Pete gave her a suspicious look but picked up the keys and said
"Let's go, we'll be late".

(Meanwhile out in the yard)
Patrick was making his way up the driveway to pete and elizabeths when the gardener was on his way out talking on the phone. Not seeing Patrick he kept talking away
"Yeah we were nearly busted but I don't know how we managed to look like nothing was goin' on, can't believe he doesn't know!"
Patrick stopped still. It couldn't be, Elizabeth and the gardener, oh how steretypical. But no, she wouldn't, no that was crazy.
He was about to take a step when jared chatter caught his ear again
"I know but man is the sex worth it!"
Wow, no no way. Patrick shook his head and laughed at himself and kept going. But not before he heard jared say one last thing
"Yeah, Elizabeths her name"
That no good... now he was mad.
He stormed up the path only to see pete and Elizabeths car go past.


(at the party)
Elizabeth sat staring down at her drink. She had felt guilty before but this was compounding that awful feeling 10 fold.
Why did it have to be like this and the hell had she been thinking?!.
She looked up at pete who was standing a few steps away laughing away looking as cute as ever.
Who did she think she was kidding?. What a god awful thing to be doing to someone, now she felt sick at how god damn gorgeous that smile was.
And was it really a fair thing to thing to be doing to jared?.
Not it wasn't fair one little bit to either them.
She looked at her watch and decided they'd been at party long enough she had to tell him, she had to take him home and tell him.

"Pete, could we go home please?"
"Ummm, yeah I guess. Are you okay?"
"Fine, but could we?"
"Alright, we'll go"
He said his goodbyes and they left the party Elizabeth chewing her nails at the prospect of what was gonna happen when they got home.

(at the party still)
Patrick sped through the front doors and down the passage out to the patio where all the guests were
"Patrick man, how are you?" called a few people
"Good good. Wheres pete and Elizabeth?"
"Oh they left early, Elizabeth asked to go home"

He made his apologies that he couldn't stay either and made his way over to their house.

(at pete and elizabeths house)
Elizabeth was sitting chewing on her fingernails, which she hadn't done in so long. She was meant to be watching telly but she couldn't keep her focus on it. Her gaze kept wandering outside as if the trees she could see where going to give her the right way to tell him.
She started to get that sick feeling again and wanted to cry but couldn't because if she did she may not stop.
Pete came back into the lounge with their drinks and put them on the table as he sat down.
Elizabeth spun around to face pete and took his hand in hers
"Babe I have something to tell you"
He looked up at her with a curious look on his face. Damn those gorgeous eyes.
"Pete... im pregnant"
His jaw hit the ground and he looked as if he was trying to say something but couldn't
"Babe, that's not all"
Just as Elizabeth opened her mouth they heard running footsteps and both spun around to face the loungeroom entrance to see Patrick run and in
Looking at with Elizabeth with a glare he shouted
"That gardener did it!"
Elizabeths jaw hit the ground. How the hell did Patrick know about jared?.
Pete turned around to her those gorgeous eyes becoming full of anger and shouted to her
"The gadener?!"........

Just at that moment Elizabeth woke with a start to her alarm and looked over to her husband Brendan. He rolled over and smiled at her
"Bad dream babe?".
