Just the Six of Us, Part 1

Background: Vicky is eight months pregnant. Jake has spent these past months taking care of her every need and pampering her to death. Vicky loves the attention, but is getting a little fed up with Jake's cautiousness. Also, we are still in Bay City.

Scene 1:

Vicky and Jake are in bed. Vicky is awake, but her eyes are closed and Jake thinks she is sleeping. Jake is lying awake just looking at Vicky. His hand is on her stomach. He feels one of the babies kick and smiles.

Jake (in a faint whisper): I can't believe that in a month my two little wonders are going to be born. I'm going to be a father in just a month. God, what did I do to deserve such happiness? (looking at Vicky) I have the most wonderful woman in the world. She is giving
me the greatest gift, or should I say gifts, that anyone has ever given me. (looking at Vicky's stomach) I've waited so long to be a father, and soon I'm going to be.

Vicky begins to stir. Jake notices this and gently kisses her cheek.

Vicky: Good morning sweetheart. (Kisses Jake passionately.)

Jake: Wow, what was that for?

Vicky: I heard what you just said...

Jake (turning red with embarrassment): I thought you were sleeping...

Vicky: Well, I was, but I felt one of our girls kicked and it woke me up.

Jake: How do you know that we are having girls? We told the doctor not to tell us because we wanted to be surprised. So, what makes you so sure that we are having girls?

Vicky: I just have a feeling. Oh...Jake, put your hand on my stomach. The girls are kicking up a storm.

Jake places his hand on her stomach and he and Vicky start to laugh as the scene fades out.

Scene 2:

Vicky is sitting at the table. Jake is wearing an apron and is waiting on Vicky. In front of Vicky are two fried eggs, two waffles, two pieces of toast, a glass of orange juice, a glass of milk, a bowl of oatmeal, and a dozen roses from Jake.

Vicky (with a mouthful of waffle): Jake....Jake honey....I need more waffles!!

Jake: That's your fifth one!

Vicky: I'm pregnant with twins! I'm eating for three! Give me more food! (takes a big gulp of milk as Jake walks into the kitchen with Vicky's plate.) Oh Jake....Jake....

Jake: Yes honey...

Vicky (smiling innocently): I need more milk.

Jake (taking the glass and giving Vicky a peck on the cheek): Yes, dear.

Vicky: Oh, and Jake....

Jake (frustrated at this point): Yes...

Vicky: I love you.

Jake (feeling bad that he was short with his very pregnant wife): I love you too. (He walks over to Vicky and kisses her.)

Vicky: How can you still kiss me like that? I'm as big as this house and I'm cranky. How do you still love me?

Jake (shocked): What do you mean? How could I not love you and want you? You are having my children. You have made me so happy. Vicky, you are more beautiful now than ever. You are also incredibly sexy and I love you more than I did the day that I married you, if that's possible.

Vicky (crying): Awww...Jake...

Jake: Shhhh....(wiping away her tears).....Don't cry. (He kisses her.)

Vicky: I love you so much.

Jake and Vicky embrace as the scene fades out.
