Chapter 1: Rebecca Knows
Sam took Carla outside while Rebecca was in her office. Cliff and Norm were at the other end of the bar drinking beer like they always do. Sam and Carla almost had it out because he said she had too many kids. She is pregnant again with Sam's child (who does not know the child is his). Only Sam and Rebecca know that she is pregnant. Carla already has eight children.
The next day, Woody came in and said he found something it his attic. Carla, who is trying to remain calm said, "You found your Mom in the attic." Woody answered. "No, My Mom does not belong in the attic." "Hey, Woody," Sam said. "What is going on with you today?" "Oh, hi Sam I found this book in my attic. I think it might be worth something someday." "What a dime?" Carla shouted. "It's more then a dime, Carla."
Norm comes in the bar. "NORM!" They all shout. "How's God treating you, Norm?" Sam said. "He caught me in bed with his wife." Norm answered. "What's wrong Norm." Sam asked. Then comes in Rebecca. "Oh sorry, Norm, I have to get my catch of the day." Sam said as he goes into Rebecca's office. "Hi, Rebecca?" Sam said. "What is it Sam? I really have a lot of work to do." Becky said. "Like.." Sam said. "Give Carla a baby shower when the time comes." Becky said.
Then Cliff entered the bar. "Hi Cliff." Norm said. "Hi Norm." Cliff said. "What is with Sam." Woody said. "I have no idea what's going on." Carla said lying. Sam and Becky came out of the office. "Oh, Sam Can I see you for a minute." Carla said. "Sure Carla. Give me a minute ok." Sam said. Now Bucket-head" Carla shouted. "Ok. ok. Carla." Sam said. "Sam, I don't think I can do this. I mean I am having other baby and I don't know who the father is." Carla said. "I really have to go now. Can have the rest of the day off?" "Sure Carla. Take all the time you need." Sam said. "Thanks, Sam." Carla said.
"Rebecca can I see you for a minute?" Carla said in the hall. "What is it, Carla?" Rebecca said. "Becky, as you know I am pregnant with my ninth child." Carla said. "Yes, Carla, I know I was there when you told Sam." Becky said. "That's not half the story, Rebecca. I lied about not knowing who the father is." Carla said. "You know who the father is?" Becky said. "Yes and he works here." Carla said. "Oh Carla you didn't." Rebecca said. It was a one night stand I swear." Carla said. Then comes in Cliff who wants to talk to Becky. "Can I talk to you, Ms. Howe?" He said. "Hi Carla, I did not see you there." "I will be there in a minute, Cliff?" Rebecca said to Cliff. "So are you going to tell me who." She continues with Carla. "Please don't get mad and promise you will not get mad." Carla said. Oh Carla I won't." Rebecca said.
"Who is it, Carla?" Rebecca asked her. "The baby is for Sam." Carla confessed. "WHAT!" Rebecca said loud. "Does he know?" She continued. "NO! Please don't tell him. I will tell him when the time comes." Carla told Rebecca. Then Cliff comes in. "Ms. Howe, I need to talk to you." Cliff asked her. "Coming Cliff. Can we talk about this later at my apt. this evening, Carla?" Rebecca asked her. "Sure what time?" Carla asked her. "Is 7 ok with you?" Rebecca asked. "Sure." Carla answers her.
Back at the bar, Sam, who has no idea what's going on in Rebecca's office, is pouring Norm his 5th glass of beer if the day. "How's Mrs. Peterson?" Woody asked Norm. "Fine I guess!" Norm answered. Just as he finished talking Carla left Rebecca's office. She went to tell Sam she was leaving now. "Sam I am leaving now! This baby is killing me." She told him. "Ok Carla. See you tomorrow." Sam told her. Just then Rebecca comes out of her office. Sam stops her. "Ok what was that all about?" Sam asks her. "What Carla or Cliff?" Rebecca asked him. "Carla!" He told her. "Can't two women talk?" Rebecca told him.
