It's a warm Tuesday evening and Arthur has taken DIANA out for dinner. DIANA has just finished drinking her coffee as their dinner is brought to them and DIANA looks at her food with a disgusted look on her face.
Arthur: "What's wrong?"
DIANA: "I can't eat this."
Arthur: "Oh... is it because of the pregnancy?"
DIANA: "Yeah... it's really hard to find stuff that I can eat without throwing up."
Arthur looks at his plate, he has ordered and then looks at DIANA's plate.
Arthur: "We could swap."
DIANA: "Oh, what did you order?"
Arthur: "A hamburger without pickles."
DIANA: "OOH! I THINK I CAN EAT THAT! GIMME!"
DIANA rips the hamburger from Arthur's hand and it spills all over her.
DIANA: "Oops... I'm sorry."
Arthur: "It's fine, we'll get a new one... I'll help you clean up."
Arthur quickly gets some paper towels and wipes ketchup off DIANA's pregnant belly but what they don't see is that there is a paparazzi who is getting food that snaps a picture, as his flash goes off Arthur turns around and flips.
Arthur: "Oi! Get the hell out of here you creep!"
The paparazzi quickly runs off and DIANA disappears into the women's restroom for some privacy while Arthur waits outside the door.
Arthur: "You okay in there?"
DIANA: "Yeah, I'm almost done. Did he get a picture or not?"
Arthur: "I think he did."
Arthur seems to realize something and looks very concerned now.
Arthur: "You get yourself cleaned up DIANA, I'll be right back!"
DIANA: "Okay!"
Arthur quickly runs out of the restaraunt and sees the paparazzi walking down the street.
Arthur: "Hey! You with the camera, stop!"
The paparazzi starts running and Arthur chases after him, he quickly catches the paparazzi and tackles him to the ground. Arthur quickly steals his camera and smashes it.
Paparazzi: "Hey, that camera cost me 3k!"
Arthur opens up the camera and pulls out the film which he puts in his backpocket.
Arthur: "You forget a thousand things every day, you better make sure this is one of them."
Arthur knocks out the paparazzi with one punch to the face before dragging his unconscious body and putting it in a nearby dumpster with the camera. Arthur then walks back to the restaraunt and finds DIANA standing outside.
Arthur: "Why are you standing out here?"
DIANA: "They closed."
Arthur: "Damn, well let's find another place to eat."
DIANA: "I don't know... I think I just wanna go home."
Arthur: "Okay, I'll just take you home then."
DIANA: "Thanks."
DIANA and Arthur get in Arthur's car and they quickly drive off.

It's 6 am and Arthur gets a knock on the door, he opens the door and it's DIANA. DIANA has a magazine in her hand and gives it to Arthur, Arthur looks at the cover and he is shocked. Arthur wonders how this could have happened but then remembers that the paparazzi probably had a phone that he took the picture with instead.
Arthur: "Fuck."
DIANA: "Yup... seems like people think you're the father."
Arthur: "This isn't good at all... they don't deliver this magazine to Japan do they?"
DIANA: "No but it is on the internet... Andrei's gonna be pissed."
Arthur: "No, we can fix this... we just need to explain exactly what happened."
Arthur turns around and walks back into his apartment.
DIANA: "You're right, besides it's not like we could have gotten that close in one month anyway, obviously this can't be your baby... right?"
Arthur turns around and looks even more concerned right now.
Arthur: "Wait... you don't know whose baby it is?!"
DIANA: "Umm... no... well... I think it's Andrei's but... it could also be Killian's or... y-."
Arthur quickly puts his finger over DIANA's mouth.
Arthur: "Shh... someone could be listening, get in and let's figure this mess out."
DIANA: "Yeah okay..."
DIANA gets in the apartment and Arthur closes the door as we fade to black.
