Jo: Will Blair get back here? I’m going to make sure this comes out of her paycheck. Natalie will you come out here?
Natalie: (Walks out of the kitchen) What’s up Jo?

Jo: Hey. (Doesn’t even look up from the book)
Blair: Well I’m going to change out of these good clothes. I’ll be right back Bram.
Bram: Ok.
Jo: (Puts the book down) Natalie, Tootie, go help Mrs. G in the kitchen.
Natalie: Ok. (Leaves)
Tootie: Surely she doesn’t need both of us.
Jo: Tootie, go talk to her about the check thing.
Tootie: All right. (Leaves)
Bram: Jo is it really you.
Jo: Yea it’s me. How did Blair drag you under her spell?
Bram: I’m not under anyone’s spell.
Jo: Sure.
Bram: I haven’t seen you since the day before you left right before our junior year in high school. Now it’s what sophomore year in high school?
Jo: I know I wanted to go back home and see you but every time I tried something came up.
Bram: I came here to see you. Blair just happened to come up.
Jo: Do you really like her?
Bram: She’s ok, but I’m not too sure of the whole boyfriend thing.
Jo: Oh, I can’t believe it’s been four years.
Bram: Yea, way too long. Um, do you want to come over hang out?
Jo: Yea, will you wait outside just incase Blair comes back.
Bram: Yea, sure.
Jo: Ok, I’m going to go tell Mrs. G. I’m going.
Bram: Will she care?
Jo: No she wont I’ve got in plenty of overtime for the week.
Bram: Ok. (Goes outside as Jo goes in the kitchen)
~In the Kitchen~
Jo: Mrs. G. I’m going out.
Mrs. Garrett: Ok, since you’ve worked overtime, you got enough to take the whole week off.
Jo: I won’t give you that.
Mrs. Garrett: I wouldn’t let you.
Jo: Well thanks I’ll be back for dinner. (Leaves)

~In Bram’s Hotel Room~
(Jo and Bram are sitting on the couch talking about old times and filling each other in on recent events)
Jo: I can’t believe we’ve been best friends for twenty years.
Bram: Yea do you remember when we used to cut school together?
Jo: Yea, our mom’s would call in and make up an excuse for us.
Bram: They had to use everyone in the book.
Jo: They probably did.
Bram: Those were the good days.
Jo: Yea, (Looks at him) Do remember our first kiss?
Bram: I’d never forget that. It was the day you left for Peakskill.
Jo: I wasn’t expecting it either. I had my bags on my bike and I dropped by to say bye and you sweped me up in your arms and kissed me.
Bram: Right. Think it could happen again?
Jo: No I don’t want to leave you again.
Bram: I don’t want to lose you again.
Jo: Well we agree about something. We don’t want to lose each other again.
Bram: We didn’t write or call.
Jo: I called once, nobody was home. I left a message you never called me back.
Bram: I never got the message. I guess Jake must have deleted it.
Jo: Your brother Jake? I thought he liked me.
Bram: That’s why. He knew that since we were best friends he didn’t have a chance.
Jo: Are we still best friends?
Bram: Of course we are.
Jo: Nothing will ever change that.
Bram: Are you and Blair good friends?
Jo: Yea. Are you and Bud friends?
Bram: Yea. Hey are you up for a Nintendo match?
Jo: N 64?
Bram: Yea.
Jo: Heck yea! I haven’t played one of those since we did last.
Bram: Ok, (Grabs her favorite game, Mario Kart, and puts in and turns the game on and hands her a controller) let’s see if you’re still good at this.
Jo: Probably not as good as I used to be.
Bram: That’s understandable.
Jo: Yea I guess so. (Bye the end of that they had each won three races)
Bram: Well you haven’t lost your touch.
Jo: No, I guess not. (They put the game up and lean back on the couch)
Bram: I’ve missed you Jo.
Jo: I’ve missed you too. Tonight I finally realized what’s been wrong with me the past four years. Today I felt perfect.
Bram: Same for me. Right when you came in the room I felt great.
Jo: I was right where I needed to be. I still am.
Bram: Jo look at me. (Jo looks over and up a little so she could look him in the eye) I love you. I’ve always loved you.
Jo: Bram…
Bram: (Cuts her off) Jo I know you look at us as close friends but I don’t anymore I think of you as more than my best friend.
Jo: Bram it’s not that.
Bram: Then what is it?
Jo: Blair she wants you for herself.
Bram: I’m going to have to break it off I can’t stand it.
Jo: What Blair or that she’s not me. (Joking)
Bram: Both. (Jo laughs) Could I talk you into being my girl?
Jo: I thought I was.
Bram: You know what I mean.
Jo: You’ve talked me into it, but I want things to be like they used to be for awhile.
Bram: All right.
Jo: That doesn’t mean I don’t get a kiss.
Bram: I guess it doesn’t. (Pulls Jo on his lap and kisses her)
Jo: Bram,
Bram: Huh?
Jo: I love you too. (Hugs him) at the same time somebody knocks on the door and since the door was open Blair came in right when Jo was wrapped up in Bram’s arms)
Jo: I take that back, I want things to start where we left off. (Kisses him passionately)
Blair: Jo, how could you?
Jo: Blair!
Bram: Blair!
Blair: Bram, I thought we were a thing.
Bram: You thought we were, but I came here to see Jo.
Blair: You knew Jo?
Bram: Yea we’re best friends.
Jo: Blair let me explain.
Blair: Shoot.
Jo: The only reason I came over was to catch up with him and then well we got to more recent things and he kissed me.
Blair: How long have you two known each other?
Jo: Twenty years.
Blair: So you’ve known each other all your lives?
Bram: Yea, our moms were best friends and they happened to be in the hospital at the same time and then Jo and I happened.
Jo: He’s three days older.
Blair: Oh, well I better go.
Jo: Tell Mrs. G I won’t be home for dinner.
Blair: Yea yea yea. I guess I will.
Jo: I’m sorry Blair. (Blair leaves)
Bram: What did you mean by you won’t be back for dinner?
Jo: I want to stay with you, if that’s ok.
Bram: Of course it is.
Jo: I’m worried about Blair.
Bram: Why.
Jo: She’s going to hate me.
Bram: Don’t worry I’m here.
Jo: I know. I know I’m so lucky to have you around.
Bram: You could make it without me.
Jo: I know but I really don’t want to have to.
Bram: Want to go to Steak~n~Shake, I hope that’s still your favorite.
Jo: It still is.
Bram: Good let’s go.
~In Steak~n~Shake~
Jo: I haven’t been in one of these in forever.
Bram: Why?
Jo: We always came here together.
Bram: Oh, yea I know what you mean.
(They ate, talked and had a great time. Then the time came when Bram had to take Jo home)
Jo: I know I need to go but I don’t want to.
Bram: Are you worried about Blair?
Jo: No I don’t want to be away from you.
Bram: I can’t fix that.
Jo: I know. I might as well head home.
Bram: You do know I’ll take you home.
Jo: Thanks. I don’t know what’s gotten into me.
Bram: I know what you mean.
Jo: Well it’s 7:30 I better get home.
Bram: Come on. (Lays out some money for the meal and sees Jo digging in her wallet) What are you doing?
Jo: I got the tip as always. You insist to pay for the meal then I pay the tip. (Lays out three dollars)
Bram: Whatever. Let’s go. (Leads her out)
~Later That Night~
(Around 2:00 am Jo hasn’t fallen asleep she tiptoes out of her room and knock on Mrs. Garrett’s door)
Mrs. Garrett: Who is it? (Yawns)
Jo: Its me Jo.
Mrs. Garrett: Come on in Jo.
Jo: (Comes in) I couldn’t sleep.
Mrs. Garrett: What’s wrong?
Jo: Thinking about Bram.
Mrs. Garrett: I thought he was with Bair.
Jo: He never agreed.
Mrs. Garrett: Then what are you worried about?
Jo: Well I better start at the beginning. Bram and I grew up together, we’re best friends. When he came to the shop with Blair, my heart stopped because all my life I’d liked him and I was thinking to myself, “Well you blew it. You waited to long.” Then he invited me over to catch up and well he asked me out I accepted and it just so happened he didn’t shut the door all the way and Blair stopped by and saw him hugging me and then she couldn’t even talk. That’s why I’m worried.
Mrs. Garrett: I see.
Jo: I don’t want to hurt Blair but I really like Bram. He has always meant a lot to me.
Mrs. Garrett: Well if I were you I’d try to find a way to have both. I wouldn’t be able to choose between my best friend and a really good friend.
Jo: I think your right. I just don’t know how to get back on Blair’s good side.
Mrs. Garrett: Was Bram her boyfriend?
Jo: No. Blair just assumed he was.
Mrs. Garrett: Oh, so really you didn’t do anything wrong.
Jo: I guess so but if that’s true why do I feel so bad?
Mrs. Garrett: Because you let your friend trick you into believing something that wasn’t true.
Jo: So in a way it’s my fault.
Mrs. Garrett: In a way yes but mostly its Blair’s fault.
Jo: That’s not the only thing that’s bothering me.
Mrs. Garrett: Bram?
Jo: You are good, but anyway, yes it’s Bram. The thing is I haven’t seen him in four years and he hasn’t changed a bit. I know I have. I’ve grown up a lot in the past years, mostly thanks to you. I really like him but I don’t know if I can go back to how I was four years ago.
Mrs. Garrett: Jo, you don’t have to change back. It’s also not the end of the world if he didn’t change. He might be afraid of change. He might be afraid that you wouldn’t like him if he changed.
Jo: He knows better then that! We’ve been friends for twenty years!
Mrs. Garrett: Have you two ever been as close as you are now?
Jo: We’ve always been close. But we’ve never been this close.
Mrs. Garrett: That’s probably it.
Jo: What do I do?
Mrs. Garrett: Accept the way he is.
Jo: What if I can’t.
Mrs. Garrett: (Shocked) Well if you don’t think you could do it chances are you can’t I mean when it’s deciding your future I’m not going to make you try something you don’t think you’d be comfortable with because in the long run you wouldn’t be happy.
Jo: I love him but I don’t know if I’d end up happy.
Mrs. Garrett: Have you talked to Bram about this?
Jo: No, not yet, I was planning on it tomorrow if I see him.
Mrs. Garrett: Call him.
Jo: I only know what hotel he’s at and where it is.
Mrs. Garrett: Try the phone book. It’ll help.
Jo: (Laughs) I’ll look it up after I try to get some sleep.
Mrs. Garrett: Ok. (Laughs)
Jo: Thanks a lot Mrs. G. Goodnight.
Mrs. Garrett: Goodnight Jo (Jo leaves and Mrs. Garrett goes back to sleep, glad that she can still help the girls when they need it) There getting older but sometimes they need a little help. And I’m always glad to help.
~The Next Afternoon~
(Jo is looking through the phonebook trying to find the Comfort Inn on North Maple Street)
Jo: Found it! 8493, (picks up the phone and calls the number)
Receptionist: Comfort Inn how may I help you?
Jo: Hi, can you give me the number of Bram Simms’s room?
Receptionist: Mr. Simms checked out really early this morning.
Jo: Do you know how I could reach him?
Receptionist: Are you of any relationship to him?
Jo: Um (tries to think up something quick) I’m his sister.
Receptionist: Ok, here’s his cell phone number. 1-973-483-1678.
Jo: Thank you. (Hangs up and calls Bram)
Bram: Hello?’
Jo: Bram?
Bram: Jo is that you.
Jo: Uh huh. I called your hotel and they said you’d checked out really early.
Bram: There right.
Jo: Where are you?
Bram: New 51 heading out of Carbondale Illinois. I’m going to the airport.
Jo: Illinois?
Bram: Yea,
Jo: Bram what’s going on.
Bram: Jo, I was looking into SIU.
Jo: SIU College?
Bram: Yea,
Jo: What about Langely?
Bram: Too expensive.
Jo: Bram I don’t know about this.
Bram: What being apart again?
Jo: No us.
Bram: What?
Jo: I was thinking last night, all night actually, and I don’t know if it’ll work out with both of us happy in the long run.
Bram: Jo what are you saying.
Jo: Bram I don’t want to loose you as a friend. But I don’t think we would work as boyfriend and girlfriend.
Bram: Oh, but…
Jo: Bram don’t. I got to go. (Hangs up before she starts crying and right when she hangs up she starts crying)
Blair: (Comes down the stairs) Jo what’s wrong?
Jo: Bram. I just broke up with him.
Blair: Oh.
Jo: I think I might have hurt him.
Blair: Jo anytime a guy gets dumped he’s hurt.
Jo: It’s probably something I did last night.
Blair: Was they’re anything strange you did last night?
Jo: Not that I can think of but there had to be something he was heading out of Carbondale Illinois.
Blair: Well you right you had to do something. What was he doing in Illinois?
Jo: Checking out SIU.
Blair: SIU?
Jo: Southern Illinois University.
Blair: Wow. (Phone rings) I’ll get it.
Jo: No it’s probably Bram. (Picks up the phone) Hello?
Bram: Jo, I just wanted to tell you I wouldn’t be back soon.
Jo: Where are you going next?
Bram: Mizzu.
Jo: Missouri?
Bram: Yea,
Jo: Where’s that at?
Bram: Columbia. It’s about 250 miles from Carbondale.
Jo: What did I do to you last night?
Bram: What do you mean?
Jo: You’re trying to get as far away from me as you can.
Bram: And after Mizzu I’m heading to Illinois state, which is in Champaign. Then maybe I’ll check out UCLA.
Jo: See!
Bram: Ok your right. I don’t know about us.
Jo: Bram we’ve been friends for twenty years you know you don’t have to run from me!
Bram: Yea we’ve always been friends nothing more! I can’t handle it Jo!
Jo: I was wrong you have changed.
Bram: Of course I have you have too!
Jo: Not that much Bram. I still know I don’t have to run from you I never have had to. We’ve always been there for each other.
Bram: Some things change!
Jo: What’s happened to you! You weren’t like this last night!
Bram: I don’t know Jo! I got to go. (Hangs up on her furious)
Jo: (Slams the phone down) I hate him!
Blair: You really don’t.
Jo: Yea I do! (Tears start to stream down her face) No, you’re right I love him but I just can’t take it!
Blair: I know it’s hard.
Jo: No, you don’t you have no idea what I’m going through! It’s like being stabbed with a thousand knives.
Blair: You’re heartbroken and I know how that feels.
Jo: I know how it goes too. But somehow Bram’s effect on me is different then any other guy that I’ve split up with.
Blair: Probably because you really loved him. Or it could be that you’ve been friends for so long.
Jo: That’s probably it. Probably both of them are part of it.
Blair: You’ll get through this and in a few years Bram wil realize what a jerk he had been to let you go. I know you dumped him but he just let you.
Jo: Thanks Blair. (Hugs Blair)
More tomorrow or monday. I don't know yet

Heres more
~Three Years Later~
(It is the day before Jo’s wedding; she is marrying Cal Calhoun. They meet about two weeks after Bram left. And that was four years ago.)
Jo: Blair should I invite Bram for tomorrow?
Blair: Do you want to? (There is a knock on the door) I’ll get it. (Answers the door) Br- (Stops herself) Jo it’s for you. (Goes upstairs)
Jo: Bram!
Bram: Hey.
Jo: I was just thinking about you.
Bram: Really I’ve been thinking about you since I left. Can I come in?
Jo: That was four years ago. Yea sure (steps to the side and lets him in as she closes the door Cal comes out of the shop)
Cal: Sweetie, we need to head to the chapel.
Bram: Two questions. 1. Who is getting married? 2. Who is he?
Jo: This is Cal and we’re getting married. (Goes over by Cal and links her arm in his)
Bram: You and him?
Jo: Yea, and Bram I want you to come tomorrow.
Bram: To see the girl I love get married?
Jo: Bram you’re my best friend. I’d come if it were you.
Bram: I wouldn’t be able to make it I’m leaving tonight. Plus I couldn’t stand it.
Jo: To think I used to call you my best friend. (Bram leaves) That jerk!
Cal: Who was that?
Jo: We were best friends up till four years ago. I’ll tell you on the way to the chapel
~In Cal’s Car~
Jo: Well our mom’s were best friends as kids and when they went for a high school reunion they were both pregnant and there due dates were six days apart. He’s thee days older then I am. I was born a day early. We were best friends since. We cut school all the time to hang out or if we were out really late they’d call us in so we could sleep all day. Then at the beginning of our junior year I moved to Peakskill and went to Eastland. He stayed in the Bronx. And then one day four years ago he comes up to see me. We hung out one night and talked. I must have done or said something wrong because I tried to call his hotel the next morning and he’d checked out I called him on his cell phone and he was in Southern Illinois. And his next stop was Missouri. After that he was going back to Illinois. This time Campaign. After that he was checking out UCLA.
Cal: College hopping?
Jo: Yea, he wouldn’t go to Langley, because it was too expensive, but I think I was the reason. Southern Illinois was SIU, Columbia MO. Mizzu, Champaign had Illinois State, and well UCLA in California.
Cal: What did you do to him?
Jo: Nothing just all of a sudden he wanted to get away from me.
Cal: Wow. (As they stop at a stoplight Cal puts one arm around her and holds her close) Don’t worry about it I’m here. You got you’re friends here too.
Jo: I know. Did you tell Blair about rehearsal?
Cal: Yea she’ll be here.
Jo: Ok. And she’d tell the other two.
Cal: I forgot about Natalie and Tootie.
Jo: Blair’ll tell them.
Cal: Good.
Jo: I can’t believe we got wedding rehearsal! I could see it for a play but for a wedding.
Cal: We want to make it perfect.
Jo: Yea we do. It’ll be the best day of my life.
Cal: Mine too.
Jo: You excited about The Bahamas?
Cal: Thrilled.
Jo: Me too.
Cal: I wish we would’ve done Alaska or Hawaii those are the only two states I haven’t been to.
Jo: You’ve been in 48 states!
Cal: Yea.
Jo: I haven’t been through many. Probably 14, but I’ve been to Paris and Sydney too.
Cal: I haven’t been outside the United States the Bahamas will be my first time outside the United States.
Jo: I was in Paris for a month but I only got to see it for a week. The rest of the time we were held in school. Then I headed to Lamaze when we got into Paris.
Cal: What was there?
Jo: A car race.
Cal: Should’ve guessed.
Jo: Your first guess would’ve been motorcycle race. Then car race.
Cal: Your probably right. (Pulls into the parking lot)
Jo: We’ve rehearsed so much now the real thing will be dull.
Cal: No it won’t, it’ll be the real thing and we’ll actually go through it all the way.
Jo: Yea all I know is Dad’s not looking forward to it,
Cal: Why.
Jo: I’m his first and only kid.
Cal: Yea.
Jo: But he knows you’ll be good for me and that I really like you.
Cal: I hope you do. I’m marrying you in less then 24 hours.
Jo: Don’t worry about that. You’ll never have to worry about that.
Cal: Good. (Gets out and goes to help Jo out)
Jo: Thanks. (Takes his hand as he helps get her up) I can do it by myself you know.
Cal: I know but I want to help.
Jo: Yea I know.
~The Next Day~
(Jo is with her mom in the dressing room thing)
Rose: Jo I’m so proud of you.
Jo: Thanks mom, you going to say that again? Which would be for the millionth time in the past hour!
Rose: Oh Jo you just got the marriage jitters.
Jo: No I don’t. I’m annoyed.
Rose: All right. I remember I wasn’t in a real good mood before my wedding.
Jo: Was grandma bugging you to death?
Rose: Yes she was.
Jo: Well if you know what I’m talking about why are you bugging me?
Blair: (Knocks) It’s me.
Jo: Come in,
Blair: (Comes in) Jo that dress is gorgeous!
Jo: You should know you were with me when I bought it!
Rose: She’s been biting my head of since we’ve been here. So don’t take it personally.
Blair: I hardly ever do.
Jo: I’m right here listening you know.
Blair: I better warn Cal she’s not in a good mood.
Jo: You do you’re dead.
Blair: Ok, I’ll just go walk down the isle and we’ll all wait for you.
Jo: They’re ready to start?
Blair: Uh huh.
Jo: (Takes one last look in the mirror) Here goes nothing.
Blair: You nervous?
Jo: Scared to death.
Blair: Why?
Jo: This is a huge step up Blair.
Blair: Your right. Let’s go. (Leaves and Jo and Rose follow her)
~In the Church Part~
(Rose goes and sits on a bench in the front row. Everyone else in the ceremony has gone and now Jo comes into view and links arms with Charlie)
Charlie: I’m proud of you Jo.
Jo: Thanks dad.
Charlie: If you got any second thought the car’s running.
Jo: (Laughs a little) Forget it dad. (Hugs him and goes up to join Cal)
Cal: (Whispers to Jo) You look great.
Jo: (Smiles at him and through the whole ceremony she thinks of how great there life is going to be but is interrupted when they do there vows)
~After the Wedding~
DJ: I want to give the spotlight to the bride and groom for this next song.
(Cal and Jo get up and head out on the floor and the song Love Me When I’m Gone by 3 Doors Down comes on)
Jo: Cal I love you.
Cal: I love you too. (Pulls Jo close to him and kisses her)
~On the Plane heading to the Bahamas~
(Jo and Cal are on their way to the honeymoon spot. Cal is flipping through a magazine and Jo is looking out the window then all of a sudden she leans back and groans)
Cal: You ok? Don’t tell me you get airsick.
Jo: I don’t I just feel a little dizzy.
Cal: Wraps an arm around her and she rest her head on his shoulder) You sure you’re ok?
Jo: Yea. Just don’t let me fall asleep.
Cal: Ok.
(They have about 45 more minutes on the plane and Jo didn’t hold up too well. She puked once. Someone gave them a paper bag so she wouldn’t be covered)
Cal: I thought you didn’t get airsick. (Joking)
Jo: (Looks at him and starts laughing) Shut up!
Flight Attendant: Please put your seat belts on we wil be lading shortly.
Jo: (Leans back and groans)
(When they land they catch a shuttle bus to the Atlantis Resort)
Jo: Wow. (Looks at the hotel) Honey how are we paying for this?
Cal: Don’t worry about it. I just want you to have fun and enjoy yourself. But at some points add me into the picture.
Jo: You’ll never leave. (Puts her arms around him)
Cal: Let’s just find you room.
Jo: Fine by me. What number?
Cal: 647.
Jo: Ok, (Steps into an elevator with Cal right behind her) What all did you bring?
Cal: One suitcase.
Jo: I don’t bother with suitcases. Why should you backpacks work just as good?
~In Their Room~
Jo: It’s nice it’s really nice. Honey, are you sure we can afford this?
Cal: Don’t worry about it. That’s my worry.
Jo: All right whatever you want. (Throws her backpack on the bed)
Cal: Let’s see it’s about 7. We could go for a quick dinner and be back to get to bed early and have a good start in the morning.
Jo: Ok. Sounds like a plan.
Cal: Let’s go. (Throws his bag on the bed)
Jo: Just nothing fancy I’m in jeans you know.
Cal: You need to be in shorts.
Jo: A skirt?
Cal: That’s fine.
Jo: Good. (Grabs her bag and goes to change)
(About five minutes later she comes out. Her hair is down and curled at the ends)
Cal: Wow, Jo you look great.
Jo: This is only a five-minute job.
Cal: I know. I don’t know how you do it.
Jo: It’s a girl thing.
Cal: Can’t be.
Jo: Why?
Cal: Most girls take an hour to pick out their clothes. You even got some make-up on.
Jo: Not much. Let’s just go it’s after 7 and I’m starving.
Cal: Ok. (Takes her arm and leads her out)
~That Night at Dinner~
Jo: This is fancy.
Cal: You glad you changed?
Jo: Yea I would’ve felt stupid in what I was wearing.
Cal: Probably.
Jo: Let’s just eat and get back to the hotel. (Wraps her arms around him and kisses him)
Cal: Ok.
Hostess: how many?
Cal: Two.
Hostess: Smoking or non.
Cal: Non.
Hostess: (Grabs some menus) Follow me.
(They get sat down and Jo is skimming the menu)
Cal: I hope you like Italian.
Jo: You know I love it.
Cal: Yea I know.
Jo: What are you leaning towards?
Cal: Linguine with clamshells.
Jo: I’m thinking about Lasagna.
Cal: Get whatever you want.
Jo: (Smiles at him as their waiter approaches)
Waiter: Hi, I’m Danielle and I’ll be taking care of you tonight. Can I get you any appetizers?
Jo: I don’t think so.
Danielle: Can I start you of with anything to drink?
Cal: Yes and we’re ready to order.
Jo: Go on Cal.
Cal: I want Linguine with clamshells and a coke to drink.
Jo: And I want Lasagna and iced tea to drink.
Danielle: Sweet or un-sweet?
Jo: Sweet.
Danielle: I’ll be right back with your drinks. (Walks off)
Cal: You look great tonight.
Jo: Thanks. Cal what’s wrong you’ve said that like a zillion times.
Cal: Well you look gorgeous.
Jo: Thanks. Really what’s up you’ve never acted like this before.
Cal: I just told you.
Jo: It’s not my looks.
Cal: Yes it is.
Jo: Ok then it’s my looks.
Cal: Can you blame me?
Jo: I hate to sound like Blair but here goes nothing. No I can’t blame you. (Runs her hand through her hair without messing it up) Ok I don’t like acting like Blair.
Cal: I don’t either.
Jo: It was fun for once but I couldn’t stand always being like that.
Cal: I hope not.
~Two weeks later when they get back they go to Jo’s old house~
Jo: Hello?
Blair: (Runs down the stairs) Jo?
Jo: Hey.
Blair: Hey, how was it?
Cal: Wonderful. (Wraps his arm around Jo) Right sweetie?
Jo: It was amazing.
Blair: Major highlights?
Jo: Cal, sun, and Cal
Blair: (Laughs) So you had fun.
Jo: Yea. Is it ok if we stay here till we find a place?
Blair: That’s fine. I’ll room with Natalie and Tootie for a while and you two can have our room.
Jo: Thanks Blair.
~The Next Morning~
(Jo wakes up with Cal resting his head on her shoulder. She stays in bed hoping he’d wake up. When he didn’t she gently rolled over away from him which slid his head off of her she got up and started to head downstairs)
~Downstairs~
Jo: Anyone up?
Mrs. Garrett: I am.
Jo: Ok,
Mrs. Garrett: Anything wrong?
Jo: No I’m find. Just a little tired. And you know once I get up I can’t go back to sleep just like that.
Mrs. Garrett: Yea I know. I’ve lived with you for eight years. I know you pretty well.
Jo: You all do. I thought I was a closed up person but I was wrong. I’m the open one.
Mrs. Garrett: No Blair’s ahead of you there.
Jo: Yea she asks you if you want to know something and before you can say anything she acts like she’s writing a biography on the person she’s talking about. Or autobiography if she’s rambling on about herself. Which she does do often I gotta say.
Mrs. Garrett: (Laughs) Cal still asleep?
Jo: Yea,
Blair: (Comes downstairs) Good morning.
Jo: Why are you in such a good mood.
Blair: Pretty soon you’ll be gone.
Jo: Ha ha.
Blair: Some people don’t know a joke when they hear one.
Jo: I know a joke when I hear one. Number one that wasn’t funny and number two some people aren’t morning people.
Mrs. Garrett: Girls it’s not even eight o’clock. Do you have to start fighting already?
Jo: Sorry Mrs. G but she puts the fight right up in my face how could I refuse.
Blair: And you were complaining about my jokes.
Jo: That wasn’t even a joke.
Cal: (Comes down the stairs and says to Mrs. Garrett) They’re already fighting?
Blair: (Hears a man’s voice, screams and runs behind Jo grabbing onto her arms) A man! Hide me Jo.
Jo: Don’t worry Blair. (Shakes her off) He won’t be on you he’s my man. (Goes over and kisses Cal and keeps hold of his arms) Did you sleep well?
Cal: Yea till I woke up.
Blair: Did you remember you were married to Jo?
Cal: No she wasn’t there when I woke up.
Jo: Well I woke up.
Cal: Did you have to get up? (Joking)
Jo: (Knowing he’s teasing her) Well I stayed around for awhile and when I realized nothing was going to happen and I got up.
Mrs. Garrett: (Understood the joke quickly) Jo!
Jo: What?
Mrs. Garrett: You know how I feel about that talk.
Jo: Yea no sex till I’m married. But I’m married.
Mrs. Garrett: Jo!
Jo: Come on Mrs. G. you know I’m just having a little fun.
Mrs. Garrett: Yea well next thing I’m gonna have to do is put a chaperone in your room.
Jo: (Laughs as Natalie and Tootie come down the stairs)
Natalie: Why does all the good stuff happen while I’m gone or asleep.
Blair: You didn’t miss anything.
Tootie: Then what’s going on?
Blair: Jo and sex.
Natalie: We missed something Tootie.
Tootie: What’s going on?
Jo: The usual thing. You know no sex till you’re married.
Natalie: You are married.
Mrs. Garrett: That’s the point.
Tootie: Oh.
Cal: This whole thing is pretty interesting.
Jo: (Being serious but also purposely mention it in front of Mrs. Garrett) Hey Cal how do you feel about kids.
Cal: (Catches what she’s doing. But tells the truth) I’d love it.
Mrs. Garrett: Not in this house you wouldn’t. (Everyone laughs because they know that she really means none of that in this house)
Jo: Come on Cal we got to look for a place today.
Cal: Right behind you. (They head upstairs. Mrs. Garrett heads to the kitchen to start breakfast)
Blair: Jo does know how to have fun with something.
Natalie: I can’t believe she got into that with Mrs. Garrett.
Blair: Mrs. Garrett knew she was just playing.
Tootie: She wasn’t about the kid part.
Blair: You’re right about that. She wasn’t kidding.
Natalie: Well we’ll be aunts soon.
Tootie: Cool.
Blair: You guys are jumping the gun. Those two haven’t done anything. As far as I have been told at least.
Natalie: That’s it Tootie. Be ready to be an aunt.
Tootie: (Laughs) I’m going to go help Mrs. Garrett.
Natalie: Ask her what she thinks about Grandma Edna?
Blair: (Cracks up laughing) I know all of this is really mean and we shouldn’t be doing it. But it’s so funny.
Natalie: I know.

~Twenty Minutes Later~
(Jo and Cal come downstairs)
Jo: We’re off. (Cal opens the door and they head out)
Tootie: I’m bored.
Natalie: Watch T.V Remember over one of our Spring Breaks you spent four days watching game shows?
Tootie: Yea then we went to Ft. Lauderdale and meet guys.
Natalie: And Jo’s the only one that’s seen her guy. I’ve never heard from John.
Tootie: I never heard from Peter.
Blair: I’ve heard from Ben.
Natalie: Oh, have you now?
Tootie: And how is Ben doing in Alaska without you?
Blair: He’s managing. He works all day so doesn’t get too much spare time.
Natalie: So when does Ben go back to Flordia?
Blair: He’s coming to Peakskill first. See me again.
Tootie: Did we ever get the guys number?
Natalie: If we did I lost John’s.
Tootie: Yea same here.
Blair: I know B-+
Natalie: Don’t start Blair.
Blair: There’s something I’m supposed to tell Jo. Someone called while she was in the Bahamas. I can’t remember who it was though.
Natalie: If you say Flyman I’ll freak out.
Blair: It was him.
Natalie: (Screams)
(All of a sudden it starts pouring down rain. A few seconds later they hear Jo’s bike pulls up and in a few seconds the two come in)
Blair: Did you find a place already?
Jo: No it started raining and I turned around.
Tootie: I can’t keep it in anymore. Jo Flyman called while you were in the Bahamas.
Jo: And you’re just now telling me?
Natalie: Blair’s the one that knew.
Cal: Who’s Flyman?
Jo: An old friend.
Cal: Named Flyman?
Jo: He was a Rock~n~Roll star.
Natalie: For awhile.
Jo: I’ll call him. Do you mind Cal?
Cal: No, I wanna know more about this Flyman. Not that I’m picking into you friend life but with a name like Flyman what do you expect?
Jo: Yea I guess you’re right. (Starts scanning the caller ID) Here he is. The last one Blair!
(While Natalie and Tootie are telling Cal how Jo and Flyman meet Jo calls him?
Jo: Uh Blair did you tell him I was married?
Blair: No.
Jo: Great (Dials his number)
Flyman: Hello?
Jo: Flyman?
Flyman: Yep.
Jo: It’s Jo.
Flyman: Jo! Hey how ya doing?
Jo: Good, I just got back from the Bahamas.
Flyman: You couldn’t vacation in Flordia again?
Jo: This was special.
Flyman: Don’t tell me it was your honeymoon.
Jo: It was. Fly I’m sorry.
Flyman: It’s ok, I guess I waited too long.
Jo: Yea I guess so. Fly I got to go. My husband and I are going apartment hunting.
Flyman: Ok I don’t want to hold you up.
Jo: Fly we can still be friends right?
Flyman: That’s all we ever were. (Hangs up)
Jo: Fly? Hey you there? (Hangs up) Guess not.
Cal: You ok sweetie?
Jo: Yea a little shook up but ok.
Cal: You haven’t done good with old guy friends lately have you?
Jo: No, I haven’t. You guys can only be friends with a girl if she’s not married.
Cal: Not all guys are like that.
Jo: Yea we’ll see how George reacts latter.
Blair: When does he come back anyway?
Jo: I dunno sometime soon.
Blair: He called me hot-lips once.
Jo: He was talking to me when he said that. All you did was put him in a ditch. I told Belinda it was over and they were doing well and then you came in and ruined it.
Natalie: The duchess is right Blair.
Jo: I almost forgot he made me a duchess.
Cal: Honey I’m lost.
Jo: I’ll fill you in later.
Cal: I’m going to go find Andy.
Jo: No we’ll leave. (Drags him out)
Blair: I’m so happy for those two. They really love each other.
Natalie: They do.
~Later That Night~
(Jo and Cal come in)
Jo: We found one.
Blair: Already?
Jo: Yep.
Cal: Yea already. I was surprised we found it.
Jo: It’s really nice but not too high.
Cal: And I told her not to worry about money that I would take care of it but she didn’t want a mansion.
Jo: I wouldn’t have you spend that much on a house.
Cal: See.
Jo: But we found something we both liked.
Blair: When do you move out.
Jo: Hopefully in by Friday.
Blair: It’s Wednesday now.
Jo: Good Blair you know you days of the week. Come on Cal we got to pack.
Blair: Go tell Mrs. Garrett first Jo.
Jo: I am. I didn’t forget about her. (Heads to the Kitchen followed by Cal)
~In the kitchen~
Jo: Hey.
Mrs. Garrett: Hey did you two see anything?
Cal: Actually we did.
Mrs. Garrett: That’s great!
Jo: We’re moving on Friday.
Mrs. Garrett: That’s not great.
Jo: Mrs. G. I’m married! You don’t expect us to live here all our life do you?
Mrs. Garrett: I guess not.
Jo: Mrs. G. I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have yelled.
Mrs. Garrett: No Jo you were right. I can’t expect you girls to stay here your whole lives. I guess I hoped I would lose you so soon Jo.
Jo: I know. I can’t believe I got married before Blair. I can see how I did because she can’t stay with a guy for more then ten minutes.
Mrs. Garrett: (Laughs)
Jo: Well we better go pack. (Heads upstairs with Cal behind her)
Cal: You ok?
Jo: Yea. I’m fine.
Cal: Jo?
Jo: I’ll tell you upstairs.
~In Their Room~
Jo: I’m just shook up about leaving. I’ve lived with these guys for eight years.
Cal: I know. Jo we’ll have a good life together. The place is near here, as you know so you’re not really leaving.
Jo: You’re right.
Cal: I know.
Jo: I know we’ll have a good life.
Cal: I know you do. (Looks at Jo) How much trouble do you think we’ll get in if we have a little fun?
Jo: I don’t wanna find out.
I know its not a lot but I don't really feel like posting
MrsGarrettRocksMySocks 04-26-2003, 12:08 AM That's great!
JDS84 04-26-2003, 08:59 PM Its great.

~Years Later~
(A few years later Jo and Cal move to Southern Illinois. They live there for sixteen years and their daughter Jaime grows up there. All of a sudden Jo starts to miss Peakskill but doesn’t want to move back because all of Jaime’s friends are there. But she wants to have her second baby in Peakskill)
~At Their House~
Jaime: (Gets home from school and calls her mother)
Jo: Hello?
Jaime: Hey.
Jo: Hey you home?
Jaime: Uh huh.
Jo: Get you homework done and be ready to leave when your father gets here.
Jaime: What if he doesn’t remember?
Jo: It’s your father he never forgets it.
Jamie: I know. Sadly he’s got a good brain.
Jo: Jaime I got to go.
Jaime: See you after the dentist. (Cringes)
Jo: Ok. Bye honey.
Jaime: Bye. (Hangs up turns the radio on and grabs her messenger bag) I hate homework. (Phone Rings)
Jaime: Hello?
Alexz: Hey Jams.
Jaime: Hey Al what’s up?
Alexz: Did you hear about the fight?
Jaime: Yea I saw Mr. Honey dragging them down to the office. And Brad was rolling his eyes on the way down the stairs when I saw them. Tammy said Brad punched John and that started it all.
Alexz: Well you don’t need me to fill you in anymore.
Jaime: Ha ha.
Alexz: So did you get you science done?
Jaime: Yea that was easy. All I got is Math.
Alexz: You’re kidding right. We had tons!
Jaime: We only had Science and Math.
Alexz: We had tons of Art.
Jaime: Thank God I don’t have Art.
Alexz: Yea.
Jaime: I’ve been there done that. She never gave us homework though.
Alexz: No teacher makes you guys do anything.
Jaime: Bye Alexz.
Alexz: What oh ok bye. (Jaime hangs up rolls her eyes and goes back to her Math work. About ten minutes later she grabs a small notebook and starts writing. A few minutes later she reads it aloud)
Dear Mom and Dad,
I love you both. I really do. But I can’t stand it anymore. I’ve never told either of you this but I am always so unhappy. At school I’m an outsider. I got Alexz but she hangs out with her friends that hate me. They know she talks to me but that there has her on thin ice. But I think it’s time for me to check out. I really love you both.
Love,
Your daughter Jaime
(She takes the letter and puts it on the counter in the middle of the mail so her father will have to see it when he comes in. After that she runs to the bathroom and finds the sleeping pills. She was just about to take them when her dad pulled up the drive. So she shut the door and took them as fast as she could. She didn’t turn the light on because she wanted her father to come in. Quickly she was as out of it as she needed to be to where her dad had to get to her fast or she was a goner)
Cal: Jaime? (Digs through the mail and sees her letter. Automatically he runs into the bathroom) Jaime! (Picks her up, grabs his cell-phone and rushes her to the hospital. On the way he calls Jo)
~In Cal’s Car~
Jo: Hello, Jonesboro Police Department Jo speaking.
Cal: Jo?
Jo: Cal what’s wrong?
Cal: It’s Jaime she took some sleeping pills.
Jo: No!
Cal: Sweetie meet us at the hospital.
Jo: Ok.
Cal: Be careful Jo.
Jo: I will be. (Hangs up and rushes to the hospital)
~At the Hospital~
(Cal gets there a few minutes before Jo the rush Jaime into ER and Cal is in the waiting room waiting for Jo and to see Jaime)
Jo: (Walks in and runs over to Cal) What happened is she ok?
Cal: I have no clue how she’s doing, I hate this hospital.
Jo: Why didn’t you take her to Carbondale or Marion?
Cal: She needed to get in right away.
Jo: Why would she do this?
Cal: (Hands her the note Jaime’s note) Read it.
Jo: (Reads it and quickly starts to cry) I can’t believe it. (Cries harder)
Cal: (Wraps his arms around her) It’s ok sweetie.
Jo: Cal it’s not ok! We could’ve just lost our daughter and you’re trying to say its ok!
Cal: Jo calm down. (Just as he says that the doctor comes in)
Doc: Jaime Calhoun?
Jo: Right here, how is she?
Doc: She’s one tough girl.
Jo: (Smiles because she knows it’s gotta be good news)
Doc: Even though I think she was determined on leaving us.
Jo: So is she ok?
Doc: Fine.
Jo: Can we see her?
Doc: Yes you can. We’ve put her on the third floor room 380.
Cal: Thank you. (They go upstairs)
~In Jaime’s Room~
(When they come in Jaime is staring out the window she turns towards the door when she hears it open)
Jo: Jaime!
Jaime: Mom? Dad? How’d I end up in the hospital?
Cal: Why don’t you tell us?
Jo: Jaime how could you?
Jaime: You read the note.
Cal: Jaime you could’ve come to us. You know we’re always here for you.
Jo: You know that Jaime.
Jaime: Mom I know I tell you a lot but I didn’t know how I could tell you I wanted to leave Jonesboro. I know you love it here.
Cal: Actually we were going to move back to Peakskill.
Jaime: Where?
Jo: it’s where I went to school my junior and senior years. Eastland School.
Jaime: Cool.
Cal: Eastland School for Girls.
Jaime: What! No uh uh, no boys no me.
Jo: Jaime you’ll make it there’s an all boys school up the street from Eastland and who knows they might’ve combined the schools by now.
Jaime: I’ll give it a try.
Jo: You have no choice.
Jaime: I figured that. When can I get out of here? (Right when she says that the doctor appears)
Doc: Actually you’re free to go.
Jaime: Really?
Doc: Yep, just stay away from the sleeping pills.
Jo: If I got anything to do with it she’ll never see them again.
Doc: Well Jaime just stay away from them.
Jaime: I will (The doctor leaves)
Jo: I’ll go get you clothes.
Jaime: Ok. (Jo leaves) Daddy?
Cal: Yea?
Jaime: How’s Peakskill?
Cal: It’s ok.
Jaime: Have you ever been there?
Cal: I lived there.
Jaime: Cool.
Jo: (Comes back in) Here’s you clothes. (Tosses her some clothes) Come on Cal.
Jaime: Be out in five minutes.
~In the Waiting Room~
Jo: Ok. (Leaves followed by Cal. All of a sudden she stops and puts her hand on her stomach))
Cal: Are you ok?
Jo: Well the baby’s kicking and I’m worried about Jaime.
Cal: (Puts his hand on her stomach) I am too.
Jo: Feel her?
Cal: Yea, (Smiles and kisses her)
~Back At Their House~
(Cal and Jaime are packing for Peakskill and Jo is resting when the phone rings)
Jo: I got it! (Answers the phone) Hello?
Blair: Hello?
Jo: Blair?
Blair: Jo is that you? You sound exhausted.
Jo: I am.
Blair: What are you doing?
Jo: Packing. Well watching Cal and Jaime pack.
Blair: Where are you guys going?
Jo: Back to Peakskill.
Blair: Your kidding.
Jo: No I really want Jaime to go to Eastland.
Blair: Is she excited?
Jo: Yea.
Blair: I just called to tell you we’re planning a little reunion. But since you’re moving back you’ll be able to come right?
Jo: Of course I’ll be there.
Blair: Good I got to call Natalie and Tootie. It was good talking to you.
Jo: Yea I better go help them.
Cal: (Yells) no your not!
Blair: Sounds like your unwanted.
Jo: He wants me to rest.
Blair: Why?
Jo: I’m pregnant.
Blair: How far along?
Jo: Eight and a half long miserable months.
Blair: You want to have it here?
Jo: Yea.
Blair: Well the reunion is going to be you baby shower.
Jo: Yea I didn’t get one with Jaime.
Blair: She’s what 12?
Jo: 15.
Blair: You’re kidding right?
Jo: No 16 next week.
Blair: She’s growing up so fast.
Jo: Yes and no. I thought she was starting to accept herself then the next day she tried to kill herself.
Blair: No.
Jo: Yes. I’ll fill you in at the reunion.
Blair: Ok Bye. (Hangs up)
Jo: Great I got a baby shower when we get back.
Cal: I’m not so surprised.
Jo: Neither am I.
Jaime: Who’s giving you one?
Jo: Blair, Natalie, Tootie and maybe Mrs. G.
Jaime: Are they nice?
Jo: Very.
Jaime: Are those the people you lived with for seven years?
Jo: Yep.
Jaime: Well then they must be nice if you lived with them for that long.
Jo: They are, Mrs. Garrett is my second mother. From when I was sixteen to twenty-five she was my mother basically. More so then Grandma Rose was during the time.
Jaime: Really?
Jo: Yea but I lived in the dorms and never saw your Grandma Rose. Mrs. Garrett was a second mother to all four of us. We treated each other like sisters. At one point me ad Blair thought we could be sisters.
Jaime: How?
Jo: We thought your Grandpa Charlie and Blair’s mom had a thing for each other. But it was a false alarm.
Jaime: So you two we so close to being real sisters instead of sisters by love?
Jo: Yea. At first we hated it then when we found out it wasn’t true we were upset.
Jaime: Oh. What about Natalie and Tootie?
Jo: Those two were best friends. And the two that always looked on the bright side of things. When Blair and I were in a fight they tried to make us look on the bright side. But we always ended up working it out ourselves. At first we always thought that they were crazy then we realized they were right.
Jaime: Cool.
Cal: They were a great bunch of friends.
Jo: Yea we were.
Jaime: What about your friends before Eastland?
Jo: We didn’t keep in touch. I have no clue about them. I did see one of my friends my second year at Eastland.
Jaime: I hope Alexz and I keep in touch.
Jo: Try, you two can do it. I just didn’t try. I didn’t really want to. I knew I could make batter friends at Eastland. And I did. If you want to you can go call Alexz and see if she wants to spend the night.
Jaime: Thanks mom. (Runs off)
Jo: I’m going to miss this place.
Cal: I won’t. I gotta admit I’ll miss Alexz.
Jo: I will to she’s been so good for Jaime.
Cal: Yea she has.
Jo: I can’t believe we’re leaving.
Cal: Jo you’ll feel better when we get to Peakskill.
Jo: You’re probably right.
Jaime: Mom can we go pick up Alexz?
Cal: I’ll take you. Be right back sweetie.
Jo: Ok. (Falls asleep)
(Five minutes later)
Cal: Jo we’re back.
Jo: In the living room.
Cal: Right where I left you.
Jo: Help me up. I’m stuck. (Cal helps her up)
Alexz: Hi Mrs. Calhoun.
Jo: How many times do I tell you to call me Jo?
Jaime: Every time?
Jo: She’s right.
Alexz: So you guys really are leaving?
Jo: Yea.
Alexz: I do admit I’ll miss you guys. You’re like my second family. I get Christmas from you guys.
Jaime: We’ll all miss you. You know that.
Jo: Cal!
Cal: What? What’s wrong?
Jo: We’re going to be two weeks early!
Alexz: Oh my God!
Cal: What?
Alexz: Her water just broke I think.
Jo: Hospital Cal!
Cal: Get in the car everyone! Alexz do you mind?
Alexz: Not at all. (Follows Jaime out)
~At the Hospital~
(In the room that Jo’s in)
Cal: You’re doing good sweetie.
Doc: Push Jo.
Jo: I’m trying!
Doc: One more.
Jo: (Screams)
Cal: Does she have to do that?
Jo: Shut-up Cal!
Doc: Here it is. (Hands their baby girl to Jo and Cal)
Cal: She’s so beautiful. Just like her mom and big sister. (Jo starts to sob and Cal hugs and kisses her) You’re amazing honey.
(A nurse comes in and takes the baby and cleans her up)
Cal: Do you want me to go get Jaime and Alexz?
Jo: Yea. (Cal leaves but quickly return with the girls)
Alexz: You ok Jo?
Jo: Yea thanks.
Jaime: Where’s my baby sister?!
Alexz: Patience Jaime.
Jaime: I’m sick of patience (Alexz and Jo laughs)
Alexz: I’ll be right back. (Leaves and a few seconds after she leaves the nurse comes back with the baby.
Jaime: She’s beautiful.
Cal: What are we going to name her?
Jo: Well we got Jaime Rose Calhoun. How about Alexz Marie?
Jaime: Mom are you serious?
Jo: Yep.
Cal: I love it.
Jo: Alexz Marie Calhoun it is then. (Just then Alexz comes in)
Jaime: Hey Alexz I want you to meet my baby sister, Alexz Marie Calhoun, named after my best friend.
Alexz: Are you guys serious?
Jo: We are Alexz.
Alexz: I don’t know what to say. Thank you so much I’m honored.
Jo: No Alexz thank you.
Alexz: Huh?
Jo: You’ve done so much for Jaime, made her feel welcome, treat her like everybody else, made her feel normal. I can’t thank you enough.
Alexz: It’s nothing.
Jo: No its something, who knows where she’d be if you didn’t help her.
Jaime: Mom?
Jo: Huh?
Jaime: Nothing I’m just surprised.
Alexz: It wasn’t all me though. Brian did a lot for her too.
Jaime: He really did.
Alexz: He made her realize that even though she’s the way she is guys can still like her.
Cal: What time is it?
Jaime checks her watch. 11:55pm. I’ll be right back I got to go to the bathroom. (Leaves
Jo: At midnight we’re going to sing “Happy Birthday” to her.
Alexz: Ok. This is weird. Alexz is 15 minutes ahead of Jaime.
Jo: But 16 years behind.
Cal: Yea.
(Jaime comes in thirty seconds from 12)
Jo: Go ahead. (All three of them sing “Happy Birthday” to her and when they get done her cell phone rings)
Jaime: Hello?
Brian: Jaime, happy birthday.
Jaime: Thanks. (The baby starts crying)
Brian: Where are you?
Jaime: At the hospital, mom just had her baby.
Brian: A girl?
Jaime: yea Alexz Marie.
Brian: Cute.
Jaime: I know.
Brian: When can I see you and the baby?
Jaime: You can probably come to the hospital now if you want to.
Brain: Ok.
Jaime: Ask for my mom.
Brian: I know. Bye Love you.
Jaime: You too. (Blushes) Bye. (Puts the phone up)
Alexz: What did he do to embarrass you?
Jaime: Alexz will you go in the lobby with me and wait for Brian?
Alexz: Ok. (They leave)
Jo: Our little girl has a crush.
Cal: At least it’s Brian she’s got it out for.
Jo: Yea. Cal?
Cal: Yea.
Jo: Why are we leaving? (Thinking about Jaime) She loves it here.
Cal: (Thinks about Jaime) You’re right. We can’t leave.
Jo: Your right we can’t.
~In the Front Lobby~
Alexz: Now what did he do to embarrass you?
Jaime: He told me he loved me.
Alexz: Congratulations!
Jaime: That’s what I said “You too” too.
Alexz: Really?
Jaime: Yea I didn’t want to say it in front of my parents.
Alexz: So you two are together?
Jaime: Yea.
Alexz: I bet that makes you hate leaving.
Jaime: It does. Leaving you and Brian is the worst.
Alexz: Yea.
Brian: (Walks through the door) Jaime! (Picks her up and kisses her)
Jaime: I missed you.
Brian: (Puts her down) Hey Al.
Alexz: Hey Brian.
Brian: I want to see your sister.
Jaime: Follow me. (Takes his hand and leads him to her mom’s room followed by Alexz)
~In Jo’s Room~
Brian: Hi Mrs. Calhoun.
Jo: It’s Jo, Brian.
Brian: Sorry.
Jaime: Mom can I hold her?
Jo: Sure just be careful. (Puts Alexz in Jaime’s arms)
Jaime: Brian meet my sister, Alexz Marie Calhoun.
Brian: (Looks over Jaime’s shoulder) She’s so cute. She looks just like her sister. (Alexz starts to cry and Jaime hands her back to Jo)
Jo: Jaime, we’re not going to New York.
Jaime: We’re not!
Jo: We might go up there for a visit but not to live.
Jaime: (Spins around and hugs Brian) I don’t have to leave!
Brian: That’s great. (Hugs her back and picks her up off the ground)
Jaime: Brain, I love you too.
Brian: (Hugs her tighter)
Jo: (Takes Cal’s hand squeezes it) They care about each other so much.
Cal: Yea, (Kisses Jo)
Jo: I hope we don’t have to stay here all night. (Alexz tries to reach for Jaime) Hey Jaime someone wants you?
Jaime: (Has Brian put her down) Who? (Faces her mother)
Jo: Alexz.
Jaime: (Picks up Alexz) Hey do you want the big Alexz to hold you? (Hands her over)
~Back at the House in Jaime’s Room~
Alexz: He loves you.
Jaime: I know.
Alexz: You’re really lucky Brian’s the best.
Jaime: Thanks I know. And thanks for being there tonight.
Alexz: Your welcome. I’m so glad you not moving.
Jaime: So am I. I wouldn’t last in New York.
Alexz: Why? (Knowing the answer)
Jaime: No Alexz or Brian.
Alexz: You’d have an Alexz.
Jaime: Not my best friend Alexz.
Alexz: You’re my best friend too. You and Brian are my best friends.
Jaime: You’re my best friend but Brian’s my boyfriend.
Alexz: Yea you beat me to him.
Jaime: Actually he’s liked me all along.
Alexz: You’re kidding.
Jaime: No.
Alexz: I know this is personal but have you two ever… you know (lowers her voice) done it?
Jaime: No, not yet at least.
Alexz: You’re going to?
Jaime: I don’t know.
Alexz: Has Brian ever mentioned it?
Jaime: No.
Alexz: (Throws a pillow at her) You’re lying!
Jaime: Ok he has, once.
Alexz: You got to be kidding!
Jaime: I’m not.
Alexz: Do you want to?
Jaime: I don’t know.
Alexz: Do you want me to shut-up?
Jaime: If you want to keep asking questions go ahead.
Alexz: So really do you want to?
Jaime: Kinda.
Alexz: Jaime Rose!
Jaime: Alexz Lynn.
Alexz: SO you really want to!
Jaime: I’d only do it with Brian.
Alexz: Let’s hope so. (Jaime throws a pillow at her and they keep talking and eventually fall asleep)
~The Next Morning~
(Jaime and Alexz wake up to the sound of the baby crying. Jaime gets up and heads to her parents’ room to check on her)
Jo: You’re up early.
Jaime: Alexz woke us up.
Jo: Honey you’ll have to get used to it.
Jaime: I know. I’m so glad we’re not moving. I really really like Brian.
Jo: I can tell. (Cal, who is still asleep, rolls over and buries his head in Jo’s side) Ow, Cal don’t. Cal!
Cal: (Wakes up) Huh, what’s wrong?
Jo: You had your head buried in my side and it hurt.
Cal: Sorry sweetie. (Kisses her)
Jaime: Bye. (Goes back to her room)
~In Jaime’s Room~
Alexz: Is Alexz ok?
Jaime: Yea.
Alexz: So you going to see Brian today?
Jaime: I don’t know hopefully. Last night he hinted again.
Alexz: He did how?
Jaime: He said that his parents wouldn’t be home all day.
Alexz: He really wants to.
Jaime: My parent will definitely kill me if I did.
Alexz: Use “protective gear”.
Jaime: Alexz!
Alexz: Well. It helps sometimes.
Jaime: What if I do it and the “gear” doesn’t work?
Alexz: Well I don’t exactly know. Abortion maybe?
Jaime: You know I couldn’t go through that!
Alexz: I couldn’t either.
Jaime: Then how do you expect me to?
Alexz: I don’t know. Hide it till you start to show.
Jaime: I can’t hide anything from my mom and dad! You know how I am on that!
Alexz: Yea I wish you’d grow out of that too.
Jaime: I’m a good girl. What can I say?
Alexz: Was you mom a good girl as a kid?
Jaime: No way. She was such a rebel.
Alexz: You’re dad?
Jaime: Goody-To-Shoes.
Alexz: Take after you mom.
Jaime: It’s not that easy.
Alexz: Why not?
Jaime: It just isn’t. I’ve acted like this my whole life. Now you expect me to change.
Alexz: (Laughs)
Jaime: (Leans back and rest her head on her pillow) We’re a mess.
Alexz: Me more then you.
Jaime: How.
Alexz: Can you keep a secret?
Jaime: You know I can.
Alexz: Good. Because I found out something the other day that I really need to tell someone and you’re the only one that won’t yell at me. Well not that bad at least.
Jaime: Alexz spill.
Alexz: I’ve done it before.
Jaime: Oh my, Alexz when?
Alexz: Night before last.
Jaime: Wow. Who with?
Alexz: Adam.
Jaime: Our Adam?
Alexz: How many Adams do you know.
Jaime: How was it?
Alexz: I liked it.
Jaime: Thanks Al. Now I won’t feel so awful if I do it.
Alexz: Your gonna!
Jaime: Yea. I’m 16 how much trouble can I get into?
Alexz: Now that’s what I’m talking about.
Enjoy Folks I told you it was alot but I need help with it here!

james_baby87 05-16-2003, 05:27 PM Ok I basically figured out what I thought I needed help on. But I guess that doesn't give me licence to stop posting now does it?
This next part is very important
Ok people here is a qoute from my history teacher I'm going to use I hear this every darn day. "If you missed this part the rest of the story is of no importance" OK so maybe that isn't a real quote but I had to change a few words to get to the ff perspective.
Enjoy!:wave:
~Later That Day After Alexz Left~
Jaime: Mom is it ok if I go see Brian?
Jo: Yea go on.
Jaime Thanks. Bye. (Leaves on her way she calls Brian)
Brian: Hello?
Jaime: Hey.
Brian: Hey babe. You gonna come?
Jaime: I’m on my way now.
Brian: I love you so much.
Jaime: Right now I’d really hope so.
Brian: I need to run to the store but if you get back just wait for me ok.
Jaime: Ok. Love you bye.
Brian: Love you.
~Outside of Brian’s House~
(A few minutes later Jaime gets there before Brian gets home. So she sits down on the back porch and quickly changes shirts) She has a normal T on but she changes into a really cute and tight Hawaiian print tube top. Five minutes later Brian comes back)
Brian: Wow. God how can you breathe in that?
Jaime: I was doing well till you came along. (Goes over and hugs Brian)
Brian: You ready?
Jaime: Yea. (Starts to kiss him)
Brian: (Picks her up and carries her inside) My room or where?
Jaime: Your room.
Brian: Good I didn’t clean it for nothing. (Carries her upstairs)
~Up in Brian’s Room~
Brian: (Puts her on her feet)
Jaime: What do you think?
Brian: You’re beautiful.
Jaime: Thanks. Do you know the one bad thing about this?
Brian: Is there anything?
Jaime: Not a major one.
Brian: Then what’s wrong?
Jaime: Tan line.
Brian: I don’t really care.
Jaime: I didn’t think you would. (Kisses him)
Brian: (Works on taking off her top)
(An hour later they’re laying on Brian’s bed)
Jaime: (Yawns) I love you.
Brian: I love you too. (Puts his arms around her and they fall asleep. (Two hours later they wake up to the sound of the phone)
Brian: (Gets up and answers the phone) Hello?
Jo: Brian is Jaime there?
Brian: Yea.
Jo: Tell her she needs to come home ok?
Brian: Ok. Bye.
Jo: Thanks Brian.
Brian: Uh huh. (They both hang up and Brian goes to get Jaime up)
Jaime: Who was that?
Brian: Your mom.
Jaime: What’d she want?
Brian: You to go home.
Jaime: What time is it?
Brian: 5:30.
Jaime: Ugh. (Looks Brian in the eye) Brian, I need to know something.
Brian: What?
Jaime: If I get pregnant…
Brian: (Doesn’t let her finish) I’ll be right here with you.
Jaime: Thanks.
Brian: Yep. (They start to get dressed)
Jaime: Love you bye. She’ll be wondering why it took so long as it is.
Brian: Yea.
Jaime: Bye. (Leaves)
Brian: You’re the best sweetie. (Jaime turns back and smiles)
~Back at Jamie’s House~
Jaime: I’m home!
Jo: In here Jaime!
Jaime: (Looks down at her clothes and realizes she still has the tube top) Shoot. (Throws her T on top of it hoping her mom doesn’t notice)
Jo: So what’d you guys do all afternoon?
Jaime: Walked around town went to the movies.
Jo: What’d you see?
Jaime: Since it was his turn to pick the movie we saw The Two Towers.
Jo: Did you like it?
Jaime: Yea. He really did.
Jo: Well that’s good.
Jaime: Yea how is little Alexz?
Jo: She’s asleep.
Jaime: (Looks into the bassinet) She’s so cute.
Jo: She looks like you did at her age.
Jaime: And I look like you. Maybe she’ll have more of Dad’s features.
Jo: Maybe.
Jaime: (Phone rings) I’ll get it. (Runs to the phone before it wakes Alexz up) Hello?
Alexz: Hey. You’re back.
Jaime: Yea just got back. (Runs upstairs)
~In Jaime’s Room~
Alexz: So how was it.
Jaime: Amazing.
Alexz: Would you do it again?
Jaime: Yea.
Alexz: I wouldn’t.
Jaime: Why, Alexz what’s wrong?
Alexz: I’m pregnant.
Jaime: Congrates!
Alexz: Jaime what am I going to do?
Jaime: Alexz you’ll get through it. There’s a good chance I could get pregnant too.
Alexz: How?
Jaime: We didn’t use anything.
Alexz: You stupid idiot!
Jaime: I really didn’t care. But I was talking to mom earlier and I just saw how much it would hurt her. She expects me to be a role model for Alexz. I just screwed that up.
Alexz: Yea you did.
Jaime: Well talk to you later.
Alexz: Bye. See you and Brian tonight at the pizza parlor.
Jaime: We’ll be there.
Alexz: You better be.
~At the Pizza Parlor~
Brian: Misssed you.
Jaime: Miissed you more.
Alexz: I’m starting to hate both of you.
Jaime: Sorry Alexz.
Alexz: Uh huh.
Brian: I wish we could go back in tiime and have this afternoon go over again.
Jaime: I know it was great.
Alexz: Just hope to God that she doesn’t get pregnant.
Brian: We are.
Jaime: And in a way we hope I do.
Alexz: Why.
Brian: because we really love each other and if she got pregnant I could easily ask her to marry me.
Jaime: Did you just propose?
Brian: Yes. (Slides out of the booth and kneels) I love you Jaime. Will you marry me?
Jaime: Yes!
Brian: (Slips a ring on her finger and slides back in the booth)
Alexz: But what if she’s not pregnant.
Brian: We’ll that proposal will still be there. And we’ll just have to beg. We’ll have to beg either way. Just with her being pregnant that’d be a good reason to.
Jaime: Either way it’ll be hard.
Alexz: Well congratulations you two.
Jaime: Alexz what’s wrong?
Alexz: Nothing.
Jaime: Brian will you let me out I need to go to the bathroom.
Brian: Sure (Lets her out)
Jaime: Come on Alexz. (Alexz follows her)
~In the Bathroom~
Jaime: What the hell is up!
Alexz: Nothing! Jaime you were too young to have sex and you’re also too young to get married!
Jaime: Oh I’m too young to have sex I’m older then you are and your pregnant!
Alexz: Your absolutely right! You know I don’t know why we’re even friends!
Jaime: (Hurt) Alexz you don’t mean that do you?
Alexz: Yes I do! (Runs out of the parlor)
~Back at the Table~
(When Jaime comes back she’s in tears)
Brian: What happened.
Jaime: When we got in there I calmly asked her what’s up and then she started chewing me out. And she said she doesn’t know why her and I were friends. Then she ran out.
Brian: (Hugs her) It’ll be ok.
Jaime: I hope so. That friend thing really hurt.
Brian: (Gives her a quick hug) Don’t worry it’ll be fine. Everything will be ok.
~Later That Night~
Jaime: Mom what are you doing?
Jo: Packing. We’re going to that reunion in New York.
Jaime: Any kids?
Jo: Tisha.
Jaime: Who?
Jo: Tootie’s daughter. I’m pretty sure she’s your age.
Jaime: Cool. Aunt Blair and Aunt Natalie don’t have any kids?
Jo: No, Blair wants kids though.
Jaime: Cool.
Jo: Yea you need to go pack we’re leaving tomorrow.
Jaime: Ok. (As she heads up to her room she grabs the phone and calls Brian)
Brian: How many times have I heard from you today?
Jaime: I dunno. I just wanted to tell you we’re going on a little vacation to New York tomorrow. I was wondering if you could swing by in the morning before we leave.
Brian: Sure I will.
Jaime: Thanks, love you.
Brian: Love you too baby. See you tomorrow.
Jaime: Ok bye. (Hangs up and starts to pack)
~The Next Morning~
(As they’re finishing breakfast the doorbell rings)
Jaime: I got it. (Jumps up and basically runs to the door) Hey Brian.
Brian: Hey.
Jaime: Come on in. (Steps to the side and lets him in)
Jo: Hey Brian.
Brian: Hey.
Jo: Is Alexz going to stop by?
Jaime: I don’t think so we got into a fight last night and I left a message on the answering machine telling here what’s going on but I doubt she’ll show.
Jo: What were you fighting over?
Brian: Me.
Jaime: I won.
Cal: Obviously.
Brian: so how long are you going to be gone?
Jaime: Three days. Not that bad.
Brian: Yea not too bad.
Cal: Jaime you need to bring you suitcase down.
Jaime: I can’t lift it dad.
Brian: I’ll help you.
Jaime: Okay. (Heads upstairs with Brian right behind her)
~In Jaime’s Room~
(Right when they get in her room Brian turns her around facing him and kisses her)
Brian: I’m going to miss you.
Jaime: It’s only three days. But I’ll miss you more. Look at this (Pulls a picture of Brian out of her bag) something to put on the nightstand.
Brian: (Laughs) Come on lets get this stuff downstairs. (Picks the suitcase up) god girl what do you got in here bricks?
Jaime: (Laughs and follows him down the stairs)
Cal: Well better start loading up. (Grabs the two suitcases) Jaime what do you got in here?
Jaime: (Looks at Brian) Bricks.
Cal: Sure feels like it. (Goes out to the car)
(Five minutes later)
Jo: Jaime say good-bye to Brian.
Jaime: Bye. (Hugs him and gives him a kiss)
Brian: (Doesn’t want to let her go then remembers its only three days) I love you Jams.
Jaime: Love you too. Bye. (Let’s go of him and climbs in the car)
~In Peakskill at The Inn~
(When Jo, Cal, Jaime, and Alexz get there Blair, Natalie, and Tootie are talking)
Jo: Is this where I’m supposed to be?
Blair: Jo!
Jo: Blair, Natalie, and Tootie. I missed you guys.
Tootie: Sixteen years and you never called.
Jo: Same old Tootie. Where’s Mrs. Garrett?
Blair: Her and Bruce should be here soon.
Jo: Thanks.
Blair: Now before we assign rooms I though we should each do an intro thing.
Jo: (Helps her out) So Nat why don’t you start off?
Natalie: Ok, (Gets her husband up) This is Harper, my husband. Tootie?
Tootie: (Goes by her husband) Well this is my husband Jeff and our 15-year-old daughter Tisha. Blair?
Blair: (Goes by her family) This is my husband Tad. Jo?
Jo: This is my husband Cal, our sixteen-year-old daughter Jaime, and our two-week-old daughter Alexz.
Blair: Ok. Jaime and Tisha, you’ll be sharing a room. Oh and this is Max Anderson, he helps out around, he’s 16 and if you two need anything just ask him.
Jaime: How am I gonna get this thing upstairs (Referring to her bag)
Max: You need help?
Jaime: Maybe. Yea I do.
Max: (Grabs her bag) You’re Jaime right?
Jaime: Yea.
Max: Which room?
Jaime: (Looks at her key) 910 All I know is that it’s a joint room.
Max: With 912?
Jaime: I guess so.
Max: (Takes her bag to her room) See you around. (Goes into his room)
Jaime: Oh great.
~In Jaime and Tisha’s Room~
Tisha: You just get here and you got the cutest guy on you.
Jaime: You can have him. I got a boyfriend.
Tisha: Will you tell me about him?
Jaime: I’ll show you a picture of him. (Opens her bag and gets the picture out and hands it to Tisha) There he is Brian Anderson.
Tisha: Wow.
Jaime: He’s the greatest.
Tisha: Who’s that other girl?
Jaime: A girl we used to be friends with. She got knocked up I tried to help her out now she hates me.
More Monday people, I'm not usualy poting on weekends because my mother breaths down my back when I'm on the computer.

Tisha: Oh. So where do you guys live?
Jaime: Carbondale Illinois. What about you?
Tisha: LA. Mom is an actress.
Jaime: Cool.
Tisha: Not really she’s always busy. She never has time.
Jaime: I’m sorry. (There is a knock on the door) It’s open!
Jo: (Comes in) You getting everything ok?
Jaime: Yea thanks mom.
Jo: I’m in 912 if you need me.
Jaime: Ok. Thanks. (Leaves)

Brian: Is Jaime Calhoun there?
Tisha: Yea. Jaime some guy is on the phone for you.
Jaime: Thanks Tisha, Hello?
Brian: I’m already going crazy with you gone.
Jaime: Hey Brian.
Brian: Hey.
Jaime: Miss you.
Brian: Miss you too.
Jaime: Have you heard from Alexz?
Brian: No I guess she’s mad at me too, for siding with you.
Jaime: I hope your siding with me. Last time I checked I’m your fiancé.
Brian: You still are.
Jaime: I gotta go. Remember that heavy suitcase?
Brian: Yea the one that has bricks in it?
Jaime: (Laughs) Yea that one. Well I gotta unload it. Love you bye.
Brian: Love you too.
Jaime: Love you more Bye (Hangs up)
Tisha: You’re his fiancé!
Jaime: Yea. (Shows her the ring) It’s not much.
Tisha: It’s cool. But you’re only 16!
Jaime: I know.
Tisha: Does Aunt Jo know?
Jaime: No. I don’t know how to tell her. How do you tell you mom you’re engaged when you’re sixteen?
Tisha: I don’t know.
Jaime: Can you keep a secret or are you like Aunt Tootie?
Tisha: I can keep a secret.
Jaime: I could be pregnant.
Tisha: What the…?
Jaime: I don’t know. I wont for awhile.
Tisha: When?
Jaime: Yesterday. Brian called it part of my birthday present. The other part was dinner.
Tisha: Well at least you two were engaged. And you really like each other.
Jaime: Do you think I’m a slut now?
Tisha: No, I don’t.
Jaime: Good.
Tisha: Aunt Jo will though. If not her Uncle Cal will.
Jaime: When should I tell her?
Tisha: Now probably.
Jaime: Ok. (Goes to her moms room)
~In Jo and Cal’s Room~
(Jaime knocks)
Jo: Come in!
Jaime: Hey.
Jo: What’s wrong?
Jaime: I need to tell you something. (Sits down on her bed)
Jo: What? (Sits beside her and puts an arm around her)
Jaime: I didn’t go see a movie yesterday. I stayed at Brian’s all afternoon.
Jo: Why would that bother me?
Jaime: I’m not finished yet.
Jo: Oh.
Jaime: We had sex.
Jo: What?
Jaime: Mom I really don’t want to say it again.
Jo: Jaime how could you do you realize how stupid that was?
Jaime: I know.
Jo: You could get pregnant.
Jaime: I know.
Jo: Why Jaime?
Jaime: Mom we love each other.
Jo: It was still wrong. You’re only 16.
Jaime: I know. And that night at dinner he asked me to marry him. (Shows Jo the ring)
Jo: Wow.
Jaime: Yell at me mom. I know I deserve it.
Jo: Yea you do, but your father needs to be a part of this.
Jaime: What he hates Brian.
Jo: He doesn’t hate him. He just doesn’t like you two being as serious as you are. And he doesn’t even know how serious you really are.
Jaime: (Hangs her head)
Jo: But I’m proud that you did tell me and not have me find out from someone else. That will make me go easier on your punishment. Go back to your room. Or do you want to tell your father?
Jaime: I’ll just be going.
Jo: Ok. (Jaime leaves)
~Back in Tisha and Jaime’s Room~
Tisha: How did she take it?
Jaime: Better then I thought she would.
Tisha: I know that’s good. Doesn’t it feel good to have told her?
Jaime: Yea I’m just worried what dad will say.
Tisha: Does he like Brian?
Jaime: He did until we started going out.
Tisha: (Laughs)
Jaime: Well all I got to do know is wait. (There is a knock on the door) Come in!
Max: (Comes in) Would you two lovelies like to go swimming?
Jaime/Tisha: Sure.
Max: The pool is on the 14th floor.
Tisha: We’ll be there in five minutes. (Max leaves) he likes you.
Jaime: We’re going to have to get him to like you.
Tisha: Yea. Well lets cal our parents and tell them what we’re doing.
Jaime: You go first.
Tisha: Ok. (Calls her mom)
Tootie: Hello?
Tisha: Mom is it ok if I go swimming?
Tootie: Sure.
Tisha: Ok thanks bye. (Hangs up)
Jaime: (Calls her mom)
Jo: Hello?
Jaime: Hey mom can I go swimming with Tisha?
Jo: Sure what floor is the pool on?
Jaime: The 14th.
Jo: Will someone be up there?
Jaime: The lifeguard, Max and whoever else is up there.

Tisha: Ok (Jaime heads for the bathroom)
(Five minutes later)
Tisha: Dressed.
Jaime: (Comes out) Let’s go. (Wraps her towel around her grabs her key and puts it in her shirt pocket)
~In the Pool~
Max: Well you made it.
Jaime: Yea. Is it cold?
Max: Not to bad.
Jaime: Go on in Tisha, I got our stuff (Takes Tisha’s towel and puts it on a chair and goes to jump in)
Max: Glad you could come Jaime.
Jaime: Max lay off.
Max: Oh, you don’t like me?
Jaime: It’s not that. I’m engaged.
Max: You’re 16 though.
Jaime: I know!
Max: Sorry.
Jaime: It’s ok. (Swims around a little)
Max: So who is the lucky guy?
Jaime: Brian.
Max: Does he have a last name?
Jaime: Anderson?
Max: Does he have brown hair and eyes?
Jaime: Yea.
Max: Do you have a picture of him?
Jaime: Yea why are you so interested.
Max: I’m an Anderson.
Jaime: You are.
Tisha: Yea didn’t you hear Aunt Blair say that?
Jaime: No!
Max: So I might know him. I got a brother and a cousin named Brian Anderson.
Jaime: You could be related.
Max: Maybe. Well he’s very lucky.
Jaime: Thanks.
Max: So Tisha do you got a guy?
Tisha: I hope I get one before I gotta go home.
Max: I’ll help you.
Jaime: Go get a room!
Tisha: Oh come on Jaime you and Brian do worse then that.
Jaime: Your right. (Twenty minutes later) Well I’m going to go back to the room and call Brian.
Max: Ask about me,
Jaime: Ok.
~Back in Her Room~
(Jaime calls Brian)
Brian: Hello?
Jaime: Hey.
Brian: Hey. How you doing?
Jaime: Good. I met someone you might know.
Brian: Who?
Jaime: Max Anderson?
Brian: That’s my brother!
Jaime: Your kidding, he works here at the Inn.
Brian: Your kidding.
Jaime: No and he had a crush on me.
Brian: Then you told him about me.
Jaime: Yea. I told mom.
Brian: What?
Jaime: Everything.
Brian: What’d she do?
Jaime: I don’t know what the punishment is yet.
Brian: What she say?
Jaime: That she’d have to talk to dad.
Brian: Great, your dad hates me.
Jaime: He doesn’t hate you, he just doesn’t like that you’re dating his first daughter.
Brian: That’s a little better.
Jaime: I wish you were here.
Brian: I do too.
Jaime: Heard from Alexz?
Brian: No.
Jaime: I’ll talk to her when I get back.
Brian: I’ll call you when she does.
Jaime: Ok.
Brian: If she does I should say.
Jaime: I better go.
Brian: Ok, bye.
Jaime: I love you.
Brian: I love you too, bye.
Jaime: (Hangs up and sees Jo in the doorway) Hey mom.
Jo: Are you going to spend all of this reunion on the phone?
Jaime: No.
Jo: I got good news and bad news.
Jaime: Bad news first.
Jo: Are you sure?
Jaime: It gives you something to look forward too.
Jo: Well the bad news, when we get home your grounded for a month, and during that month, no phone. You will see Brian once a week, at our house only.
Jaime: Fair enough.
Jo: The good news is that we will allow you to marry Brian.
Jaime: You will!
Jo: But not till your eighteen.
Jaime: Ok. Better then a no.
Jo: I had to beg your dad just for that.
Jaime: Why doesn’t he like Brian, he’s a nice guy and he makes me happy.
Jo: I don’t know sweetheart.
Jaime: I don’t either. Are you getting hungry?
Jo: It’s 6.
Jaime: Back home it’d be 7. Which is past dinnertime.
Jo: I’ll go ask what’s going on. We’re waiting for Mrs. G. to get here too.
Jaime: I’m dying to meet this Mrs. G. that you’re constantly talking about.
Jo: She’s great you’ll love her.
Jaime: Yea.
Jo: You want to go down with me and actually talk to some of your mom’s old friends.
Jaime: Tisha told me something about Aunt Tootie.
Jo: What?
Jaime: She never has time for her.
Jo: I don’t believe that. Tootie is a busy woman but I’m sure she’d love to spend some time with Tisha if she could.
Jaime: You’re probably right. Let’s go downstairs.
Jo: Ok.
~In the Lobby~
(Jo and Jaime are coming down the stairs and Mrs. Garrett is there but Jo doesn’t notice)
Blair: (Whispers) There’s Jo and her daughter Jaime, Mrs. Garrett.
Mrs. Garrett: Jo!
Jo: Mrs. Garrett! (Runs to Mrs. G. and hugs her)
Mrs. Garrett: I missed you Jo.
Jo: It’s been too long.
Mrs. Garrett: 16 years.
Jo: Yea, I’ve been really busy.
Mrs. Garrett: Oh well I’m glad you could get away for a while.
Jo: So am I.
Mrs. Garrett: So where’s your family? How’s Cal?
Jo: He’s doing great. I don’t know where he is right now, but this is one of our daughters, Jaime.
Mrs. Garrett: (Looks at Jaime in awe) How old are you Jaime?
Jaime: Sixteen.
Mrs. Garrett: I thought so. Tootie do you still have your old photo album?
Tootie: I’ll go get it. (Goes up to her room)
Jo: Mrs. G. are you ok?
Mrs. Garrett: Yea I just want you to see something.
Jo: Ok. (A few minutes later Tootie comes downstairs carrying an old photo album)
Tootie: Here it is.
Mrs. Garrett: Thanks. (Flips through the book a little) Jo look at this. (Takes the picture out and hands it to Jo. It is a picture of her at 16)
Jo: Jaime?
Mrs. Garrett: That’s you at 16.
Jo: I know but it looks identical to Jaime.
Jaime: Let me see. (Jo hands her the picture) Wow. Mom is that you?
Jo: Yea.
Jaime: I look exactly like you.
Jo: Well we know something.
Jaime: What?
Jo: You’re not ugly.
Jaime: (Laughs) What’s for dinner?
Blair: I don’t know, what sounds good to you?
Jaime: What’s here anyway?
Jo: Everything.
Jaime: Chinese?
Jo: Sounds good. What do you think Blair?
Blair: Good. Natalie, Tootie?
Natalie/Tootie: Yum.
Tootie: Run up and ask Tisha.
Jaime: Does she like Chinese?
Tootie: Yea.
Jaime: Good.
~In Jaime and Tisha’s Room~
(Jaime runs up to their room and Tisha is drying off)
Jaime: Tisha, please tell me you like Chinese?
Tisha: I like Chinese.
Jaime: Good. Change into some clothes and we’ll go decide what we want. (Grabs her clothes and goes into the bathroom)
Tisha: So do Max and Brian know each other?
Jaime: Brothers.
Tisha: Cool, I call Max.
Jaime: So what happened after I left?
Tisha: He asked me out.
Jaime: That’s great!
Tisha: Yea too bad he lives here in New York and I’m in California.
Jaime: Ask him if he has MSN.
Tisha: Good idea. Do you have it?
Jaime: Yea.
Tisha: We’ll switch addys before we leave.
Jaime: Ok. (They change clothes and run downstairs)
~In the Lobby~
Jo: Usual Jaime?
Jaime: Yea.
Tisha: What’s the usual?
Jaime: Egg Drops soup, Moo Goo Gi Pan, and white rice.
Tisha: Yum. Mom can I have the same?
Tootie: Sure.
Tisha: It sounds good.
Jaime: It really is, I always get it.
Jo: Well girls we’ll let you decide, eat out or order out?
Jaime/Tisha: Eat out.
Jo: Is that ok with you guys? (Looks at her friends)
Blair/Natalie/Tootie: Sure.
~At the Restaurant
(They push three tables together and are all talking and laughing)
Natalie: God, I haven’t eaten at the Great Wall in 16 years.
Blair: I have.
Jo: I have. There is a Great Wall in Carbondale.
Blair: Where.
Jo: Twenty minutes from where I live.
Blair: Oh.
Tisha: I’ve never eaten at one of these.
Jaime: You’ll love it.
Tisha: It better be good.
Jo: Don’t worry Tisha it is. Would I lie to you?
Blair: No she wouldn’t Jo never lies.
Jo: Thanks Blair. (Smiles at her)
Waiter: (Comes back and hands back the food)
Jaime: (Takes the soy sauce and puts some on her rice and tastes it) Um, absolutely delicious as always. Tisha try it.
Tisha: (Does the same thing to her rice) Oh my, this is really delicious!
Jaime: Told you so.
Jo: Sometimes she knows what she’s talking about.
Jaime: (Catches the joke) Mom!
Jo: You know I love you.
Jaime: Yea I know. (Hugs her mom)
Cal: Aw isn’t that sweet.
Jaime: What good have you done lately?
Cal: Um, well I saved your life the other day…
Jaime: (Cuts him off) Alright, I love you too. (Hugs her Dad)
Tootie: Jo you’ve come such a long way.
Jo: I know. (Looks at Cal and Jaime and smiles) I know. Cal can I talk to you.
Cal: (Let’s go of Jaime) Sure
Jo: When we get back to the inn.
Cal: Ok.
~In Jo and Cal’s Room~
Jo: I haven’t exactly told you everything about Jaime.
Cal: There’s more.
Jo: A little bit, which adds up to a lot.
Cal: (puts his arm around her) What else?
Jo: She could be pregnant.
Cal: I’m really not liking Brian right now.
Jo: What do you have against him?
Cal: He’s ruining Jaime.
Jo: He’s not, he makes Jaime happy. Did you see the way her face lit up when he showed up this morning.
Cal: Yea I saw.
Jo: Brian’s good for her.
Cal: I don’t know about that.
Jo: He is. I like him because he makes my daughter happy. He cares about her and that’s all that matters to me.
Cal: You think caring about her is getting her pregnant!
Jo: Cal don’t yell, she’s right in the next room.
Cal: I’ll yell if I want to yell!
Jo: Please Cal don’t they can hear every word we’re saying.
Cal: I don’t care she needs to hear it. She’s being a slut!
Jo: Don’t call our daughter a slut!
Cal: She is one!
~In Jaime and Tisha’s Room~
(They hear everything and Jaime starts to cry)
Tisha: Jaime it’s ok parents fight.
Jaime: I know but the older I get the worse it gets.
Tisha: I’m sorry Jaime.
Jaime: I just don’t want them to get a divorce. It’d kill mom.
Tisha: Aunt Jo deserves better then that.
Jaime: I know.
(Blair knocks on the door)
Tisha: Come in!
Blair: (Comes in and looks at Jaime) Jaime what’s wrong?
Jaime: Listen to mom and dad.
Blair: Listens to the screaming in the room next to them and hears something thrown) Jaime I’m sorry. (Goes over and hugs Jaime) Do you want to go for a walk?
Jaime: (Nods her head)
Blair: Tisha if Jo asks where she is say with me ok.
Tisha: Ok Blair.
~Outside~
(Blair and Jaime are walking around the building)
Blair: Jaime what’s wrong.
Jaime: It’s a long story Aunt Blair.
Blair: We got time.
Jaime: Well me and Brian my boyfriend have been friends all of our lives, and yesterday for my sixteenth birthday he wanted to do something special that I’ll always remember. We had sex.
Blair: Oh my, does Jo know?
Jaime: Yea that’s what they were yelling about.
Blair: What’s so bad about that?
Jaime: Dad called me a slut.
Blair: Oh, What’d Jo do.
Jaime: Defended me.
Blair: That’s good.
Jaime: Yea I just can’t believe daddy said that.
Blair: Neither can I. You should probably tell Jo you heard.
Jaime: She knows when they started yelling mom told him to stop because she knew we could hear them. But she started yelling after he said that.
Blair: She should’ve.
Jaime: I don’t want them to get a divorce but mom needs better then that.
Blair: Better then what.
Jaime: Better then calling his daughter a slut.
Blair: You’re thinking of yourself.
Jaime: So is mom.
Blair: I’ll talk to her tonight.
Jaime: Thanks.
Blair: Its no problem, like you mom all of us want the best for you.
Jaime: I know, I’m going to miss you when we go back.
Blair: I’ll miss you and Jo too.
Jaime: Out of moms friends you’re the only one whose understood me.
Blair: It might be something you got from your mom.
Jaime: Could be.
Blair: (Hugs Jaime) Come on let’s go back.
Jaime: Yea I wanna talk to mom.
Blair: Let me talk to Jo first.
Jaime: Ok.
~In Jo’s and Cal’s Room~
Blair: Jo it’s Blair.
Jo: Come in (Blair could tell she’s upset)
Blair: (Goes in) You ok?
Jo: No, I’m pissed at Cal.
Blair: Yea.
Jo: He called Jaime as slut.
Blair: Yea she was really upset.
Jo: She heard!
Blair: Yea, when I knocked Tisha let me in and Jaime was crying because she heard him.
Jo: I’ll have to talk to her.
Blair: You need to.
Jo: I just realized how much I missed it here.
Blair: Why don’t you stay.
Jo: Brian.
Blair: Who?
Jo: Jaime’s boyfriend.
Blair: Oh. Well I’ll just go and let you find her.
Jo: Blair, thanks.
Blair: For what?
Jo: Everything, being there for me, treating my daughter like she was your own, everything.
Blair: I’m your best friend it’s my job.
Jo: (Smiles as Blair leaves and goes to Jaime’s room)
~In Jaim and Tisha’s Room~
Jo: Jaime, Tisha it’s Jo.
Jaime: Come in mom.
Jo: (Goes in) You ok sweetie?
Jaime: No.
Jo: You heard you father didn’t you.
Jaime: Yea I did.
Jo: He shouldn’t have said that about anyone. Especially about his own daughter.
Jaime: Where is he now?
Jo: I don’t know and I really don’t care.
Jaime: Really.
Jo: I’d probably kill him if I saw him right now.
Jaime: Mom!
Jo: Well I’m really pissed at him right now.
Jaime: I’m upset.
Jo: I know (Hugs Jaime) and I am so sorry you had to hear him.
Jaime: Mom it’s not your fault I heard him, it’s his, and he was screaming it.
Jo: I know.
Jaime: I’m his daughter, how could he?
Jo: I don’t know.
Jaime: It’s weird one day he’s saving my life and then two days later he’s calling me that.
Jo: I know it is weird.
Jaime: I thought he loved me.
Jo: Oh Jaime he does he just has a funny way of showing it.
Jaime: A very funny way.
Jo: I’m going to go talk to Mrs. G. she’s in room 914 if you need me.
Jaime: Ok. Can I call Brian?
Jo: Sure. (Leaves)
Jaime: (Dials his number)
Brian: Hello?
Jaime: Hey.
Brain: Hey. What’d they do to you?
Jaime: I’m grounded for a month and we can see each other once a week at my house.
Brian: Did they say anything about the engagement?
Jaime: When we’re eighteen.
Brian: Yes.
Jaime: I know. (Tisha comes in)
Tisha: You on the phone with him again? (Shakes her head)
Jaime: Dad called me a slut. (Tisha’s jaw drops then she remembers him saying that.
Brian: He didn’t!’
Jaime: He did.
Brian: Baby I’m so sorry.
Jaime: It’s not your fault. Unless you’ll call me that again.
Brian: I will.
Jaime: Well I better go goodnight.
Brian: Bye sexy. Goodnight sweet dreams.
Jaime: Bye (Blushes and hangs up)
Tisha: What did he say to make you blush.
Jaime: Bye sexy.
Tisha: Oh. Well I guess I’ll turn in.
Jaime: Night.
~In/Outside of Jo and Cal’s Room~
(Thirty minutes later Tisha is asleep and Jo isn’t back from talking to Mrs. Garrett yet and she hears Alexz crying and goes to check on her. While she’s in there rocking her back to sleep Jo shows up at the door but doesn’t go in. Five minutes after that Jaime puts her back in the bassinet and goes back to her room)
Cal: Why are you standing in the hall did you lose the key?
Jo: No I was watching Jaime.
Cal: What did she do this time.
Jo: I was talking to Mrs. Garrett, and I heard Alexz crying on the monitor and I was headed back but Jaime beat me in there.
Cal: Can you go in now?
Jo: What’s wrong with you?
Cal: Nothing. Let’s just go to bed.
Jo: I’m not tired.
Cal: Stay up then.
Jo: I will. (She falls asleep in the chair she sat down in)
~The Next Morning~
(The next morning) When Jo wakes up Cal is already up)
Cal: Why’d you sleep in a chair?
Jo: I wanted to.
Cal: What is it you don’t want to be around me.
Jo: Not as much as Jaime doesn’t want to.
Cal: You told her what I said!
Jo: No Cal she heard. I didn’t want her to know but you had to yell!
Cal: Oh who’s yelling now?
Jo: I’m not going to say anything about her! Or anyone else except maybe you.
Cal: Me!
Jo: Yea you.
Cal: I don’t even know why I married you!
Jo: (Says softly) Are you saying you want a divorce
Cal: Yea I am.
Jo: I can’t believe it, how long have you wanted one?
Cal: About a year.
Jo: Alexz.
Cal: Jo… let me explain.
Jo: Out!
Cal: What!
Jo: Get out!
Cal: You can’t kick me out I’ll just leave.
Jo: Don’t you go back to the house either.
Cal: I got a key you know.
Jo: Not anymore. (Grabs his house key) We’ll get you’re stuff at home for you.
Cal: You bitch. (Slaps her across the face)
Jo: Get out!
Cal: No! (Starts to beat the crap out of Jo)
Jo: Cal stop! (Tries not to cry)
(Right when he leaves Jaime runs in and hugs her mom) I’m sorry mom.
Jo: You heard.
Jaime: You two don’t get the fact that these walls aren’t very thick do you?
Jo: No I guess he doesn’t.
Jaime: I can’t believe you two are splitting up.
Jo: Neither can I, Jaime don’t tell Blair, Natalie, Mrs. G, or Tootie.
Jaime: You want to tell them?
Jo: I don’t want them to know.
Mrs. Garrett: I know. (Is at the door)
Jo: Mrs. Garrett please don’t tell anyone.
Mrs. Garrett: Jo it’s not embarrassing getting a divorce. It doesn’t mean you failed. It just means things didn’t work out.
Jo: You heard what he called me. I don’t know if you heard what he called Jaime but you heard what he called me.
Mrs. Garrett: What did he call Jaime?
Jo: A slut.
Mrs. Garrett: Why.
Jo: Long story.
Mrs. Garrett: Jo.
Jo: I’m an awful mother to her.
Jaime: No you’re not! Do you want me to tell her?
Jo: Go ahead.
Jaime: See two days ago was my birthday and my boyfriend wanted to do something special that I’ll always remember. You can probably guess what we did to have dad call me that.
Mrs. Garrett: Wow.
Jo: See what I mean.
Mrs. Garrett: Just because she did something stupid doesn’t make you a bad mother.
Jo: I guess your right.
Jaime: She is mom. (Smiles and hugs her mom) Trust me she’s right.
Jo: (Hugs Jaime) You’re right.
Jaime: Two in a row.
Mrs. Garrett: Jo are you ok?
Jo: Yes, thanks. Oh by the way that was sweet what you did for Alexz last night.
Jaime: Oh you saw?
Jo: Well the monitor went off but you beat me to her.
Jaime: So you just spied on me?
Jo: Well it was so sweet I didn’t want to interrupt you. So I just waited outside and was going to tell you if you did anything wrong.
Jaime: Oh thanks mom.
Mrs. Garrett: So anyone up for breakfast?
Jaime/Jo: Yes.
Jo: I got a question though. When am I going to get some of your cooking again? (Whines)
Mrs. Garrett: Soon Jo.
Jo: Ok Jaime picked dinner let’s let Tisha pick breakfast.
Tisha: What about me? (Yawns)
Jaime: You get to pick breakfast.
Tisha: Is there an IHOP or a Waffle House around here?
Jo: Sixteen years ago there was a Waffle House but I don’t know if it’s still here.
Tisha: Blair would know wouldn’t she?
Jo: I’d think so.
Tisha: Can I go ask her.
Jaime: Tisha you’re still in your Pajamas. Do you want me to?
Jo: Sure Jaime, room 919.
Jaime: Ok, (Leaves to find Blair and Tisha goes to change clothes)
~In Blair and Tad’s~
Jaime: (Knocks) Aunt Blair it’s Jaime.
Blair: Come in.
Jaime: (Comes in) Tisha wants to know if there is still a Waffle House here. Mom said there was one but didn’t know if there still was one.
Blair: There is one.
Jaime: Ok thanks.
Blair: You’re welcome. Do you now when we’re leaving?
Jaime: When everybody’s ready I guess.
Blair: Ok thanks.
~In/Outside of Jo’s Room~
Jaime: Anytime. (Runs back to Jo’s room) Mom! Mom let me in!
Jo: (Realizes the door is locked) Coming! (Unlocks the door but blocks her way in) So?
Jaime: There still is one.
Jo: Ok,
Jaime: Now let me in.
Jo: Ok I guess so. (Moves aside)
Jaime: Thank you.
Tisha: So is there?
Jaime: Yep.
Tisha: Yes!
Jo: Are Blair and Tad ready?
Jaime: I think Tad was in the shower but Blair hadn’t had one yet.
Jo: It’s gonna be awhile.
~Later That Day~
(Jaime, Tisha, and Max are swimming and Jo is thinking about telling them what happened with Cal)
Blair: I haven’t seen Cal all day. Jo where is he.
Jo: Um…
Mrs. Garrett: (Tries to save her) Why do we care?
Blair: I’m just curious.
Jo: Thanks but I’ll tell them.
Blair: Jo is everything ok?
Jo: No.
Natalie: You know we’re here for you.
Tootie: Yea you helped us all the time years ago now it’s our turn.
Jo: He left me.
Blair: Why?
Jo: I was pissed at him as Blair knows and he wanted to go on to bed I said I wasn’t tired and I slept in a chair. This morning we started fighting and well he asked why he even married me. Then he left me. (Starts to cry a little)
Blair: Jo, it’s ok. You Jaime and Alexz deserve better then that.
Jo: Thanks Blair.
Blair: If you three want you can stay with me.
Jo: No we’ll just go back home. I took his house key.
Natalie: That’s our Jo.
Jo: I’m a failure.
Blair: (Sits by Jo and hugs her) No you haven’t failed. You got two beautiful daughters. You ‘re gorgeous, and um.
Jo: Keep going.
Blair: Jo don’t make me this is hard enough as it is.
Jo: (Playfully hits her)
Tootie: Do you think you’ll start dating again?
Jo: I don’t really know. It depends on how Jaime feels about it.
Blair: What if she doesn’t care?
Jo: If I could find someone who can treat my daughters well, yes.
(Jaime and Tisha come in) Sorry, where just heading to our room.
Blair: Oh Jaime I want to ask you a question.
Jaime: Shoot.
Blair: How would you feel if your mom started dating?
Jaime: Fine by me.
Jo: Thanks a lot Jaime! (Not too happy)
Jaime: (Sarcastically) Anytime. (Goes to her room)
Blair: Ok all you got to do is find the right guy. I did everything else.
Jo: Oh you don’t find a guy for me?
Blair: If you want me to I will.
Jo: I was joking Blair.
Blair: Oh, well in that case no.
Jo: (Laughs) Thanks.
Blair: What are friends for?
Jo: Life.
Natalie: Amen to that.
Tootie: I agree.
Jo: Well.
Mrs. Garrett: You’re right Jo, friendship is for life.
Jo: God I hope I find someone else.
Natalie: You will.
Jo: I hope so but just how many guys do you think would go out with a thirty-six year old woman?
Tootie: There has to be someone out there for you.
Jo: Tootie, I hope so, I really hope so.
Blair: (So Jo will you come shopping with me I want to get something for Alexz and Jaime’s birthday.
Jo: Blair you don’t have to.
Blair: I want to.
Jo: Ok I’ll go. (Goes and knocks on Jaime’s door)

Jo: I’m going shopping with Blair keep an eye on Alexz.
Jaime: Can I put her in my room?
Jo: Yea. I’ll bring her in.

Jaime: But.
Jo: All right you can call him. Bye sweetheart won’t be too long.
Jaime: I thought Aunt Blair took forever shopping.

Blair: So.
Jo: I like him.
Blair: I can tell.
Jo: I think I’m just going to hurt myself tonight.
Blair: Why?
Jo: Because I’m already starting to like Rick, and I’m leaving tomorrow.
Blair: Do you want to see him tonight?
Jo: I don’t know. Yes I want to. But if I do I know Cal will want me back and we are still married.
Blair: Go Jo.
Jo: I will. Thanks Blair.
Blair: No problem. (They drink their drinks and head to the mall)
~At the Mall~
(They are heading out of the mall, Blair with a present for Jaime, which is a new portable CD player. She also got Alexz a few cute outfits)
Jo: Do you think I said the right thing?
Blair: Jo! Cool it. I can’t tell you if you said the right thing because I don’t know. We’ll find out tonight.
Jo: I’m driving you crazy aren’t I.
Blair: Yes.
Jo: Sorry I’m just worried.
Blair: It’s ok.
Jo: I just know I’m going to get hurt tonight.
Blair: Jo!
Jo: Sorry.
~In Blair’s Room~
(Blair is fixing her hair when there is a knock on the door)
Blair: Coming! (Opens the door) Hi Rick.
Rick: Hi,
Blair: Jo’s room is 912.
Rick: I’m meeting Jo at Gloria Jeans’. I need to ask you a question.
Blair: Sure go ahead, do you want to come in?
Rick: Yea sure, I don’t want Jo to come out and see me.
Blair: Come on in then. (Stands to the side and lets him in)
Rick: Thanks, I want to surprise Jo and I wanted to know what you though of it. Since you’re her best friend.
Blair: Sure I’ll tell you what I think.
Rick: Ok, I got train tickets to Jonesboro tomorrow.
Blair: She’ll love it.
Rick: Good, please don’t tell her. I don’t want her to know till I show up on the doorstep.
Blair: I won’t tell her.
Rick: Thanks I got to go head to Gloria Jeans.
Blair: Ok Bye.
Rick: Bye, (Leaves)
~That Evening at Gloria Jean’s~
Rick: (Sees Jo cone in) You made it.
Jo: Yea.
Rick: You look nice.
Jo: Thanks. So where are we going?
Rick: How does Cerra la Sala sound.
Jo: Delicious.
Rick: Ever been there?
Jo: Sixteen years ago.
Rick: Well then it’s time for you to go back.
Jo: I hope my friends aren’t mad at me.
Rick: Why would they be?
Jo: Because this is my last night and I’m hanging out with a guy I met in a coffee place that morning instead of being with them.
Rick: Aren’t you glad you came though?
Jo: I’ll know by the end of the night. (Smiles at Rick and they head out)
~At the Resturant~
(They’re eating their meals and Rick tries to find out what’s bugging Jo)
Rick: Everything ok?
Jo: Oh yea I’m fine.
Rick: I know I know nothing about you but I do know better than that.
Jo: Ok I’m not ok.
Rick: This afternoon you seemed more open.
Jo: I just don’t want to get hurt that’s all.
Rick: What do you mean?
Jo: If we get close tonight I’ll just get hurt tomorrow when I got to leave.
Rick: I would never want to hurt you.
Jo: Rick that doesn’t mean we can’t have a good time tonight.
Rick: Good.
(Jo’s cell phone rings)
Jo: Hello?
Jaime: Mom Alexz just got sick all over me!
Jo: Have Tootie help you.
Jaime: What would she know about babies?
Jo: Tisha Jaime Tootie’s had Tisha!
Jaime: (Thinks for a second) Oh yeah.
Jo: Bye. (Hangs up and shakes her head) She doesn’t want me here.
Rick: You’re thinking that too.
Jo: She’s called me five times tonight asking stupid questions and trying to get me to go back to the hotel.
Rick: She’s not used to her mother dating.
Jo: She’ll have to get used to it because I can’t go through life raising two girls one sixteen and engaged being a single mother.
Rick: Wait, Jaime’s engaged.
Jo: Yea. Right after that happened Cal, my ex, got to the point that I couldn’t stand him.
Rick: You’ll find someone good for you and that will love you kids.
Jo: I think I found him. I don’t know why I’m thinking this so soon but I think I found the right guy. But I got to loose him tomorrow.
Rick: If you give me you phone number I’ll call.
Jo: I will. Don’t worry.
Rick: So how is Illinois.
Jo: The part that I live in is nice but most of it is flat and boring.
Rick: I hate flat land.
Jo: So do I. But the town size in the southern half can get pitiful. The town I live in is smaller then Peakskill. But there is one town that isn’t even considered a town.
Rick: Wow.
Jo: I know. The only reason I haven’t moved back is because Jaime’s boyfriend is there and I couldn’t stand splitting them up.
Rick: The whole engagement thing kicks in here doesn’t it.
Jo: Yea. Sadly, I wouldn’t be in this if I didn’t have to work all the time. I’d have time for her to teach her rights and wrongs.
Rick: You’ve done great so far.
Jo: Thanks, the sad thing is right when we got married Cal was so devoted and wanted to make me happy when Jaime was about four he changed.
Rick: So you’ve put up with it for twelve years. Why didn’t you get out sooner?
Jo: I don’t know. I guess I was a little scared to.
Rick: Was he abusive?
Jo: No I just thought that I really needed him, I was wrong.
Rick: Would it be the first time?
Jo: No it wouldn’t be. I’ve been wrong about a lot of things.
Rick: Not too many people admit they’re wrong.
Jo: I’m not most people.
Rick: That’s what I like about you. You’re different you’re special.
Jo: You really mean that?
Rick: Yes I do.
Jo: Dinner is great.
Rick: yea it is.
Jo: I love Mexican.
Rick: So do I.
Jo: Do you like Italian and Chinese?
Rick: Yea do you like Japanese?
Jo: I’ve only tried sushi, and I liked it, but that was back in high school.
Rick: There isn’t any Japanese in Illinois?
Jo: only in Carbondale, about twenty miles from where I live and Cal hated Japanese ands Jaime has never tried it. But I’ll take her there sometime.
Rick: If I ‘d known you liked Japanese I wouldn’t have brought you to a Mexican place.
Jo: It’s ok I love this place.
Rick: I’m glad.
Jo: So what do you want to do?
Rick: Whatever you want.
Jo: How about head back to your place?
Rick: You sure, we just met?
Jo: Yea.
Rick: What about Jaime?
Jo: I’ll call Blair and tell her I don’t know when I’ll be back and to keep an eye on Jaime and Alexz.
Rick: Fine by me. You can use my phone at home.
Jo: I’ll call on my cell.
Rick: Suit yourself.
Jo: I will. (Smiles and calls the Inn)
Receptionist: Peakskill Inn how may I help you?
Jo: Blair Warner’s room please.
Receptionist: Hold on. (A few seconds later she is transferred to Blair)
Blair: Hello?
Jo: Blair it’s Jo.
Blair: Hey Jo is everything ok?
Jo: Oh yea I’m fine. I’m still with Rick and we’re heading to his place and I wanted you to watch Alexz and keep an eye on Jaime.
Blair: Sure fine. So what are you two lovebirds up to tonight at his place.
Jo: None of you business.
Blair: Yea you’re right it’s the first date nothing could happen.
Jo: I never said that.
Blair: Jo.
Jo: All right all right just don’t tell Jaime.
Blair: I won’t.
Jo: Thanks Blair.
Blair: Uh huh.
Jo: Bye.
Blair: Bye, (Hangs up)
Rick: She knows what we’re up to?
Jo: I think so. Oh well.
Rick: Will she tell Jaime?
Jo: No. Hopefully not, I don’t want her to know since Cal and I just decided the divorce this morning she won’t be too happy.
Rick: Yea.
Jo: Wait a second what will happen if he comes around and wants me back and after us tonight, I’m still legally married.
Rick: So what you won’t take him back right?
Jo: No I wouldn’t.
~At Rick’s House~
(They go back to Rick’s house and into is room)
Rick: Did Cal ever do anything to you?
Jo: Where’s your bathroom?
Rick: Right down the hall.
Jo: Thanks. (Goes and washes off her make-up so the bruises that Cal gave her gave her that morning were visable and then she goe back into Ricks room)
Rick: Jo did Cal give those to you?
Jo: Yes. I got them all over me.
Rick: Oh god, come over here. (Jo goes and sits by him and he hugs her and kisses her and well you know what happens)
(Around 7am Jo wakes up wrapped up in Rick’s arms)
Jo: (Whisper) Rick?
Rick: (Yawns) Yea baby?
Jo: Rick, its Jo.
Rick: I know. (Jo blushes a little)
Jo: Rick, it’s 7 o’clock and I need a ride to the hotel.
Rick: Ok, let’s get ready and go.
Jo: Thanks (Kisses him and he let’s go of her and she gets up and gets dressed)
Rick: What am I going to do without you?
Jo: You’ve only known me a day.
Rick: Yea I know. I also learned that you’re the best and I don’t know how I’ll make it without you.
Jo: Oh come on we’ll call.
Rick: It won’t be the same as having you here.
Jo: It’s the best we got.
Rick: You can’t move back here?
Jo: I really want to but I’ve made a life back there. I got a secure job, a great house, and Jaime has great friends. Even though I really think Eastland will be good for her.
Rick: Talk to her
Jo: I have she liked it until she realized that moving meant leaving Brian.
Rick: What’s so special about this Brian kid?
Jo: Jaime is Brian’s fiancée.
Rick: Oh.
Jo: I know it’s really confusing.
Rick: Yea it is.
Jo: That’s my life.
Rick: You deserve better.
Jo: No I got what I deserved.
Rick: No you don’t you deserve the best.
Jo: Thanks.
Rick: It’s nothing.
Jo: It means a lot to me.
Rick: I’ll have to remember that.
Jo: You do that.
Rick: Don’t worry.
Jo: (Finishes her hair) You about ready?
Rick: Let me brush my teeth.
Jo: That’s all I got left. (They head to the bathroom)
~At the Inn~
(Jaime and Tisha are in their room packing)
Jaime: I wish mom were back.
Tisha: I’m sure she’s fine.
Jaime: I know she is I just wish she were back. She’s been gone all night.
Tisha: I bet I know what she was up to.
Jaime: I probably know too, I wish it weren’t true though.
Tisha: There is no guarantee that they did anything.
Jaime: Your right but how many grown ups of the opposite sex spend the night together and have nothing happen.
Tisha: You’re right.
Jaime: Thank you. (She hears talking outside of her room and goes up against her door and listens)
Jo: I’m going to miss you.
Rick: I’ll miss you too.
Jo: (Grabs a piece of paper and tears the corner off and writes her phone number and address down) Here, (Hands him the paper) It’s my number.
Rick: (Takes the paper) You go any more paper?
Jo: Yea, (Hands him some paper and a pen)
Rick: (Writes his phone number and address) Here’s mine.
Jo: I love you.
Rick: I love you too.
Jo: (Hugs him tight) I don’t want to leave.
Rick: I don’t want you to.
Jo: Will you stay with me untill I got to go?
Rick: Of course I will. I wanna stay with you as long as I can.
Jo: (smiles) Do you think we should tell Jaime?
Rick: What’s there to tell?
Jo: I don’t know. Make her understand that we care about eaech other and that I think we should stay here. But I know it’d be better if we went back.
Rick: How would it be better for us?
Jo: It’d hurt us, but Jaime will be happy and I want whatever is best for her.
Rick: You’re a great mother.
Jo: No I’m not.
Rick: Yes you are, you got two beautiful daughters who love you, that’s more then a lot of women got.
Jo: Thanks.
Jaime: (Quitely opens the door) He’s right mom.
Jo: (Spins around and sees Jaime) How long have you been there?
Jaime: I’ve been standing against the door on the inside all through this.
Jo: Honey…
Jaime: Mom don’t bother I get the fact that you two really like each other.
Jo: We do.
Rick: We really do. (Goes over and puts his arms around her)
Jaime: Rick, I’m sorry about last night.
Rick: What about?
Jaime: Calling my mom every 10 minutes.
Rick: It’s ok Jaime.
Jo: (Whispers something in Jaime’s ear)
Jaime: Ok. (Gives Rick a hug)
Rick: (Let’s go of Jo and hugs Jaime)
Jo: Ok I can’t stand it. (Goes over there and hugs them both)
Rick: I wish you guys could stay.
Jo: Yea Jaime just has to have a boyfriend at home.
Jaime: You know it. (Breaks away from Jo and Rick and leaves them clinging to each other) I’m going to go finish packing.
Jo: I need to start packing.
Rick: Want help?
Jo: Sure. (Leads Rick into her room)
~In Jo’s Room~
(Rick is helping Jo pack)
Jo: (Sees Rick looking through a drawer) Rick pack the clothes don’t snoop through them.
Rick: Sorry I’ve never packed for a girl before.
Jo: You helping me pack, your not packing for me. There is a difference.
Rick: All right. (Takes another peek in the drawer)
Jo: What’s in there anyway?
Rick: Pictures.
Jo: Huh? I didn’t pack any pictures.
Rick: Jaime or your husband?
Jo: Cal you never do something like that. Maybe Jaime, what kinds of pictures are in there?
Rick: I don’t know, you come look and tell me.
Jo: (Walks over there) Oh my God!
Rick: What?
Jo: These are pictures from when I was like twenty or younger.
Rick: Neat.
Jo: (Takes out the pictures and goes over on the bed followed by Rick)
God I haven’t seen him in sixteen years.
Rick: Who?
Jo: Bram (Points to a picture) He was my best friend all of our lives. He came to see me in Peakskill when I was seventeen and he’d changed so much. The next thing I knew he called me from Missouri saying he was college hopping. The night before I was hoping he would come to Langley with me. After that the next time I saw him was the day before my wedding. We got into a fight that day and I haven’t seen him since. (Starts to cry and Rick holds her) I really love you I just want to see him again.
Rick: Well I wouldn’t blame you. If I were him I’d feel pretty stupid for letting you go.
Jo: (Smiles and hugs him as Jaime comes in)
Jaime: Everything ok?
Jo: Oh yea sweetie. Everything is fine.
Jaime: Well we better get going.
Jo: Yea I guess your right. (Puts the pictures in her suitcase and zips the thing up)
Rick: Can I give you two a ride to the train station?
Jo: Yea I’d love that. You might need to help Jaime with her bag.
Rick: What about yours?
Jo: I can get it.
Rick: I insist. (Reaches for her bag)
Jo: All right. (Grabs Alexz and follows Rick and Jaime out and a tear rolls down her cheak)
Rick: (Looks back and sees Jo crying and goes back by her) You ok?
Jo: No.
Rick: What’s wrong baby?
Jo: I ‘m just upset.
Rick: Oh come on we’ll keep in touch.
Jaime: Come on mom! (Hurries down the hall)
Jo: Jaime don’t get in such a rush I haven’t said goodbye to anyone. (Goes and knocks on Mrs. Garrett’s door) Mrs. G! (No answer) She must me out. (Knocks on all of the girls’ door and nobody was there) Jaime was Tisha in there this morning?
Jaime: No, I didn’t see her all morniing and I’ve been up before her this whole trip.
Jo: Let’s go downstairs and check the lobby. (They go downstairs with Rick at Jo’s side)

No I'm not this really sucks but heres more anyway.
~A Few Weeks Later~
(The divorce is final even though Cal decided he didn’t want a divorce but Jo made him go through it and he is mad and trying to win Jo from Rick. He’s been stalking her, calling at weird hours and hanging up, showing up at Jo’s office. So rick decided to move in with Jo so if he ever showed up and wanted to hurt her she wouldn’t be alone)
Jo: (Is lying awake in bed about 3 a.m. with Rick asleep beside her She turns away from Rick and all the movement woke him up)
Rick: (Yawns) Jo what’s wrong?
Jo: I think someones out there.
Rick: Don’t worry, all the doors are locked all the windows are too, the old spare key is now my key and you tossed his out my car window in Peakskill.
Jo: Your right. (Is thinking positive until Jaime comes knocking on the door)
Jaime: Mom, Rick can I come in?
Jo: Sure Jaime.
Jaime: (Comes in) Well I highly doubt this is what you wanna hear right now considering the fact that mom looks like she hasn’t slept tonight, but anyway someones creeping around outside.
Jo: Rick!
Rick: You were right Jaime we didn’t want to hear that but I’m glad you told us. Stay in here with you mom. I’m going to go see what’s out there.
Jaime: Ok. (Rick puts on his robe amd heads outside and Jo runs out on the wrap around porch so she can see where they are, who is out there, and most of all make sure Rick doesn’t get hurt. If Cal starts getting violent she could get someone from work over really fast so that he couldn’t hurt him really bad)
Rick: Cal stay away from Jo.
Cal: No I can go near her if I want to she’s my wife!
Rick: No she’s not! She divorced you!
Cal: She still loves me.
Jo: (Goes over by Rick) No I don’t I don’t want to have anything to do with you ever again!
Cal: Oh but you will. You will, see after I get rid of him I’ll be the only one left.
Jo: I’ll go to my friends.
Cal: No that would be a good idea if I couldn’t get rid of them too.
Jo: (Has a pager in her hand and without Cal seeing she 911’d Russ, a co-worker that lives nearby and he can arrest Cal for being on her property and treatening her. A few minutes later she sees his squad car turn the corner into their driveway) You know Cal you won’t last much longer.
Cal: I will if old fatso can’t catch me breaks into a run)
Jo: Russ is a lot skinnier than you are and a faster runner!
Russ: (Comes up to Jo annd Rick) What’s the problem?
Jo: Cal encounter.
Russ: Where’d he go.
Jo: Over that way. (Points and Russ sees Cal running)
Russ: I’ll be back in the morning to tell you the news. Jo go get some sleep I bet you haven’t slept in a few days.
Jo: You’re right. I haven’t slept.
Russ: Rick, don’t leave her alone. She’s not safe when Cal is on the loose.
Rick: Don’t worry I won’t.
Russ: Good. (Starts to run after Cal and Jo and Rick head inside)
~Back in the House~
Jo: Sleep how does that guy expect me to sleep!
Rick: Try it Jo, come on you exhausted. I can tell. You haven’t gotten any sleep in a week.
Jo: How can I sleep when my ex husband is trying to kill me!
Rick: I don’t think he necessarily wants to kill you.
Jo: he needs to understand I’m not going back with him!
Rick: I know.
Jo: I’m so tired.
Rick: Go lay down and go to sleep. I want to go back to sleep too.
Jo: I’ll try but if Russ comes back wake me up.
Rick: I will I will. Now come on. (Picks her up and carries her to their room)
~In Their Room~
Jo: Put me down. (Rick throws her on the bed) Hey!
Rick: You never would’ve made it in here if I didn’t carry you in. (Sits on the edge of the bed)
Jo: You wouldn’t have. Except for maybe this. (Kisses him and pulls him on top of her. And that’s as far as I’m going!)
~Later That Morning~
(There is a knock on the door and since Jo is auctually asleep he quietly gets up puts his robe on and goes to get the door)
Russ: Hey.
Rick: Did you catch him.
Russ: No, is Jo up?
Rick: No she’s sleeping for once this week.
Russ: Week!
Rick: Yea she’s that scared.
Russ: She’s seen worse, she’s a cop!
Rick: Yes but none of it has auctually happened to her.
Russ: You’re right.
Rick: I’ll go wake Jo up.
Russ: Oh don’t worry about it let her sleep.
Rick: I think she wanted to talk to you. (Goes in their Room and softly kisses Jo to wake her up)
Jo: (Groans) is Russ here?
Rick: Yea.
Jo: I’m up. (Get’s up and puts her robe on and they go back into the dining room) Did you catch him Russ?
Russ: No.
Jo: How’d he get loose?
Russ: We ran in the woods and then he ran behind tree after tree swirving and I lost him.
Jo: Oh.
Russ: Don’t worry we’ll get him, I promise.
Jo: How… I never knew…
Russ: None of us did.
Jaime: (Walks out in her pajamas) Hey Russ.
Russ: Hey Jams.
Jo: He was so good to us when we were married.
Russ: That’s what Andie said.
Jo: Will we be able to catch him.
Russ: We will but you’re not helping, it’s too dangerous Jo or we’d let you.
Jo: It’s dangerous for you guys too.
Russ: You’re the person he’s after. There’s a difference. But Chris isn’t on the case either.
Jo: Because Cal was his best friend.

~That Night at the Competition~
(Rick and Jo made it about ten minutes before the show starts)
Mr. Holland: Hello parents, relitaves, and friends. This is SI Middle School’s 3rd annual talent show, winning this could be a big thing for one of these students. In this show each student is singing, they are each doing three songs, our judges will judge them on two things and two things only, talent and coreography. Let’s start off the show with the first song of her three, here’s Jaime Calhoun, I mean Polinazeck, is starting with Fork in the Road by the new band Lillix.
Jaime: (Stands in position at the mic when the music comes on she starts her routine)
Day by day
I seek the possibilities
Searching for
The one and only thing that I lack
Look at the hourgalss
Cout down, a decision I should cast
Let the mind race at a fast pace
Chourus:
Lost and found again
Right before the fork in the road
I start then begin
Right before the fork in the road
I split apart in two
Never to discover you
I carry this giant lod
Left me before the fork in the road
Stop
I believe the day is drowing before the truth
No hint no clue, who knows what to do?
Green again
Time to chase them feelings away
Chourus
Time is ticking you must make up your mind
(Yes I will, Yes I will)
The moment is gone without a thrill
(Yes I will, Yes I will)
Chorus 2x
Puts the mic back on the stand)
Mr.Holland: That was Jaime’s first song, for her second time she’s singing Invisible.
Jaime: (Grabs the mic)
What cam be done in order to preceive that I’m
Not falling behind?
That’s your vision, your delusion I was
Here to begin
You’ve interupted our conclusions but we
Haven’t begun
And you’ve placed your number ones instead
So what I’m different
Would you prefer if we were all like her
You’ve seen the external illusions
We’re all the same
Chorus:
I don’t want to be gone I don’t want to be
When I am around
What do you want to see? She. Someone who isn’t me
I don’t want to be invisible
When will this end on who we will depend
And you’re looking for the trend, from the one who came along
And now we’ve changed who’s to blame?
No one other than the other
We’ll get back to where we were
Never longing for what’s prefered
You never listened, told us to mind our business
Lies tried to ride you feelings words hide behind their meanings
Chorus Repeats
What can I do, just let it all pass through
Convincing you to believe it true
I don’t want to be gone
I don’t, I don’t want no
(Chorus Repeats)
(The crowd cheers)
Brian/Alexz: Go Jaime!
Mr. Holland: Now for her final song here’s Jaime with It’s About Time, all of her songs are from the band Lillix.
Jaime: Thank you Mr. Holland.
I hate you, I love you
I just can’t remember to forget you
Who are you, who needs you?
You make me feel alive, I die, so high
I’m crawling on the ground
I have found I can fly
Chorus:
One of these days it all comes together
One of these days that goes on forever
Think I sound crazy? Maybe, whatever
What’s it all about?
It’s about life coming undone
It’s over before it has begun
It’s about you, it’s about me
It’s about everything between and I say
I’m saying goodbye to you, I say hi to you with no cluw
It’s about time that I
Make up my mind
It’s simple, confusing, the truth is I’m winning but I’m losing
And pushing and pulling, won’t do me any good
It could, it should
I’m honest to myself that thr truth is I lied
(Chorus Repeats)
Time is creeping behind me, surrounding around me
Fading the words so desperately
Now give me a reason that I can believe in
Time is some thing you can’t rewind
(Chorus Repeats)
(The crowd goes wild)
Jaime: Thank you everybody, especially my friends and family you guys are the best. (Goes of stage with her family and sits by Brian)
Blair/Natalie/Tootie/Mrs. Garrett: Go Jaime!
Jaime: Mom, did you know Aunt Blair, Aunt Natalie, and Tootie and Grandma Edna are here!
Jo: Yea.
Jaime: Thanks mom.

Annie: Sure we could put together Brian’s old crib and put it in his room.
Brian: Do you want me to go find it¿
Annie: No you and Jaime can lay Hope on the bed and suround her with pillows. I am giving this hint to Jaime, if she ever wants you to lay down with her or something, leave when she is asleep and surround her with pillows so she wont seem so alone.
Jaime: Thanks.
Annie: it’s nothing (Goes downstairs)
Brian: Hey mom did you do that to me.

~The Day of Jo and Rick’s Wedding April 29th~
(Jaime and Brian are out and Annie has Hope, everyone is just hoping that they’ll be back for the wedding)
Jo: I hope their back, Jaime is part of this.
Rick: They said they’d try to be back in time. And if something goes wrong Jaime will hopefully have enough sense to use her phone.
Jo: Your right, but what if there was an accident and both of them are hurt.
Rick: There is a lot of country roads down by Anna that Jaime said those two like a lot.
Jo: Roller Coaster Rd.
Rick: Huh?
Jo: It’s a set of hills and a few turns that when you’re on them you feel like you’re on a Roller Coaster. And there are a lot of wrecks down there.
Rick: I’ll get the keys your driving.
Jo: Come on.
~Roller Coaster Rd.~
(Jo and Rick are driving down the Road when all of a sudden when one of the hills make Rick jump and he sees a wreck up ahead)
Rick: Pull over Jo.
Jo: What’s up¿
Rick: There’s a wreck up ahead.
Jo: Oh no. (Pulls over and the two run up the hill and sees Brian’s car banged up and sitting on it’s side then they see paramedics helping Brian into the ambulance) Brian!
Brian: Jo, Rick¿
Jo: Where’s Jaime¿
Brian: They’re still trying to get her out the car tipped on her side there’s the other car (Points and they see a car with the top on the ground) They didn’t make it. It took these guys thirty minutes to get here and ten minutes to get me out, she has been bleeding for forty minutes and counting the window broke of course and glass went all over she’s unconscious and bleeding pretty bad. That’s where my shirt went, I was trying to stop the blood the best I could like that.
Jo: Thank you Brian.
Brian: They need to get her out of there.
Jo: They’ll get her out just hopefully in time. Brian, we’ll meet you at the hospital. (Rick and Jo leave as they get Jaime out of the car)
Brian: Please let her be ok. (Move towards the back of the ambulance while they get Jaime in and when the paramedics go up front Brian goes by Jaime) Hey you, I hope you’re ok. I couldn’t make it without you especially with Hope now I can’t raise her without you.
Paramedic 1: Excuse me how do you know Ms. Pol. Uh, her.
Brian: She’s my fiancée.
P 1: Thank you sir.
Brian: Yea (Grabs his cell phone and calls home) Mom, do you think Grandma will watch Hope for awhile¿
Annie: Yea why¿
Brian: There was a wreck and Jaime’s hurt bad. And I used my shirt to try and stop the bleeding from the broken glass.
Annie: Which hospital¿
Brian: Union County.
Annie: I’ll be there in five.
Brian: you’re at Grandma’s¿
Annie: Yea. I be there.
Brian: Ok if you’re at grandma’s how am I going to get a shirt¿
Annie: You’ve probably left one here.
Brian: You’re right.
Annie: I’ll see you soon.
Brian: Thanks.
Annie: Bye. (They hang up)

Since then Brian and I are working on our forth year of college, at NYU, and Hope is already in the first grade already. The past four years have gone by so quick. Back home in Illinois Blair had a little girl, Emily. And Natalie is three months pregnant. Mom on the other hand should go into labor anyday with her baby number four. Thank God that nightmare in the hospital never came true. As for me, I need to go help Hope with some homework. Thank God the stuff in first grade isn’t real homework. (Brian comes up behind her)
Brian: Hey you.
Jaime: Hey finished my paper.
Brian that’s great but I’d put it on ten-point font before you turn in a one hundred and nine-page thing.
Jaime: I will. (Messes with it) I’m stickin with 11.
Hope: Mommy! I need help.
Jaime: Coming Hope.
Brian: I’ll start dinner.
Jaime: Ok. (Types a little more)
Brian: What’d you do it on anyway¿
Jaime: Everything.
Brian: Everything¿
Jaime: Yea before me when I was 15, my 16th birthday party and then everything up from there.
Brian: Before you¿
Jaime: Mom helped a lot there.
Brian: She’d have to.
Jaime: What’d you do yours on?
Brian: My early life. Growing up without a father.
Jaime: Oh.
Hope: Mommy!
Jaime: I’m up!
Brian: She’s coming Hope. (Jaime goes to help Hope and Brian goes into the kitchen)
