A/N I don't own anything. I'm a high school student. Private Practice owns the characters. It helps me practice my writing skills to write about my favorite characters. Hope you like it.
SCENE 1
Cooper walks into his apartment. "Charlotte, I have something to tell you."
"It seems serious."
"It is."
"What?" Charlotte looks scared.
"A woman came to my office last week. She said I am the father of her 7yo son, Mason."
"Are you?"
"I ran a paternity test and yes I am."
Charlotte stares at him with big tears in her eyes.
"I'm sorry, Charlotte. I know this is a shock. It's a shock to me too."
"You know I've always wanted children, Char, and you've been dragging your feet. It's okay now because I have a son already."
"No, it's not okay, Cooper. Your first baby is supposed to be with me!"
"But you don't even want kids."
"I'm pregnant, Cooper. I wanted to surprise you and tell you this weekend on a dinner cruise."
"Oh my God, Charlotte. You're pregnant?"
Charlotte gets up and hands him the stick. Cooper looks at it with tears in his eyes and hugs her.
"This means you don't need that other boy. You're going to have a baby with me."
"That's terrific Char, but Mason is still my son also."
Charlotte gets up and goes to the bedroom. She slams the door behind her and locks it. Cooper sighs.
SCENE 2
Cooper comes home. "Charlotte, where are you?"
"Here." Charlotte emerges from the bedroom.
"Erica says you offered her money to get out of town."
"That's right."
"Why would you do that?"
"You don't need them. I'm pregnant."
"Charlotte."
"I'm having my sonogram tomorrow after work at 6pm."
"Can you change it?"
"Why?"
"Mason is having a little league game and he asked me to come and watch. I told him I would be there."
"I'm not rescheduling. I've been waiting for this sonogram ever since I found out I was pregnant."
"Charlotte?"
Charlotte goes in the bedroom and slams the door and locks it. Cooper sighs.
Scene 3
Charlotte is at the office. Addison does the sonogram. "Congratulations, Charlotte. You're eight weeks pregnant with twins."
"Oh my God! Did you say twins?"
"Yes, look here." Addison points at the monitor. "Those are your babies, Charlotte." Charlotte cries. She wishes Cooper was here to share this with her but he's with Mason.
Scene 4
"Congratulations, Cooper" Pete says.
"I guess you heard Charlotte is pregnant?"
"Wow, you went from no kids to three kids in one week."
"What do you mean three kids?"
"Violet told me Charlotte is having twins"
"Twins?"
"What? You didn't know?" Pete's surprised.
"No, I didn't know. I missed the sonogram and now Charlotte isn't talking to me."
"How did you miss the sonogram?"
"I was at Mason's little league game."
"You better get your priorities straight. A little league game or a sonogram with your pregnant wife? I thinks it's obvious what your priority should have been."
"I screwed up didn't I Pete?"
Pete nods his head. "You screwed up big this time."
Scene 5
Cooper comes in the apartment. Charlotte's bags are packed. "Where are you going?"
"I'm going home for a few weeks to think. I need to get away."
"This is your home."
"It doesn't feel like it anymore. I'm going home to Alabama."
"For how long?"
"A few weeks to think."
"I'm sorry I missed the sonogram, Charlotte. I messed up."
"It's too late, Cooper." Charlotte walks in the bedroom and slams the door locking it behind her. Cooper's eyes fill up with tears.
