Glen Gordon Caron created the characters. They are not mine. This is for entertainment purposes only, not for profit.

This is my first story so bare with me. This picks up where "And the flesh was made word" begins. I decided to change it up a bit. In this story David is not as resistant as he was. Enjoy.

Sweet Baby

Part I

Moonlighting Theme

Opening credits as the camera pans Maddie's room. Freeze on clock that reads 7:00. The doorbell rings and Maddie rushes, as fast as she can rush in her condition, down the stairs and opens the door.

David is standing there smiling "Hi there, pillows are in the car. You ready?"

Maddie: "Nervous, but ready."

David: "There's nothing to be nervous about. I'll be right by your side."

Maddie rolls her eyes and smiles.

David smirks "Let's go."

David and Maddie arrive at the hospital and walk down the hall to a door that says "Class Room."

David: "Well, here we are."

Maddie: "Here we are."

David holds out his hand to Maddie, she takes it into hers and they open and walk in the door together.

Back in the car.

David: "See, that wasn't so bad."

Maddie: "No it wasn't. Having you there was a big help." She smiles at David.

David grins at Maddie.

David: "You want to get something to eat?"

Maddie: "Yeah, but why don't we just pick something up to go. I really want to go home and relax."

David: "A-okay."

Fade To Black

Maddie and David are sitting on Maddie's couch eating hamburgers.

Maddie looks at David "This is really nice."

David with a mouth full "Yeah, cheap date."

Maddie: "Since you brought that up. David, I've been thinking."

David: "Oh no, I hate it when you do that."

Maddie: "Seriously David. I know that you have agreed to help me through this and help me out with my child. I was wondering if it would be too much to ask you to do another thing."

David: "There is nothing that I wouldn't do for you Maddie. You or the bambino."

Maddie: "Or bambina." She pauses. "David, I love you and I want you to be a permanent part of my life, of our lives." Looking down at her stomach. "I'm not talking about marriage, right now at least. I just want to know, I need to know how serious you are and are willing to become."

David looks at Maddie "Maddie, I love you and I plan on being here for the both of you. There is nothing I want more than to be a part of your lives." He pauses and stands. "You ask how serious I am about all of this, I thing the fact that I am still here proves how serious I am." He looks at Maddie. "I am here. I'm not going anywhere. If I were going to leave, I would already be gone." David sits down, but is looking away. Maddie has her hands folded in her lap looking at David with a tear in her eye. David looks back to Maddie "I have been waiting on you. I am still waiting on you."

Maddie puts her hand on David's and moves close to him. She softly kisses him and says, "The waiting is over." David smiles and returns Maddie's kiss.

Fade To Black

COMMERCIAL

The next morning David and Maddie are lying in Maddie's bed. Both are asleep.

We see Maddie's eyes open slowly and she looks over at David. Maddie thinks to herself, "This time I am going to follow my heart. He is going to make a great dad."

Maddie sees David waking up, "Good morning."

Suddenly David remembers where he is and smiles. "Morning already?"

Maddie with a soft smile, "Afraid so."

With that comment thoughts race through David's mind. "What is she afraid of? Has she changed her mind again? I don't want to go through that again. Oh God please, please don't let her say pact. Hold on Dave don't freak out."

Maddie: "So." Looking at David with a smile.

Davie: "So?" Looking at Maddie with a questioning face.

Maddie: "So, what do you want for breakfast?"

David relieved to hear Maddie's question, "Why don't we forget about breakfast and continue last night's dinner." He pauses. "Nah, you need to eat."

Maddie: "I know how to make toast. If you want to go take a shower, I'll get started on the toast."

David smiles, "Sounds like a plan."

David gets up and heads to the bathroom as Maddie slips on her robe and walks out the bedroom door.

COMMERCIAL

David and Maddie are in the car headed to work. David is driving.

Maddie: "Have you given any thought as to what we are going to tell the employees?"

David: "Funny, I was thinking the same thing."

Maddie: "I think we should just tell them the truth."

David does a double take at Maddie.

Maddie laughs, "Not quite what you expected, huh?"

David grinning, "You never cease to amaze me."

Maddie smiles and takes his hand. "I think you should tell them."

David: "Why me?"

Maddie: "They love you. They look up to you."

David: "I'll tell them but you are going to be standing right next to me."

Maddie hesitates a bit "fine"

David: "Fine?"

Maddie: "Yeah, fine." She doesn't know why she wanted David to handle this all by himself. She didn't want them looking at her. She cringed at the thoughts they may have about her.

Maddie: "So what are you going to say?"

David smirks "Don't worry about that, it's going to be okay."

Maddie signs with a worried look on her face.

The elevator door opens showing Maddie and David's feet. They walk to the Blue Moon door. They pause for a minute looking at the employees doing various tasks. David and Maddie look at each other and David smiles and opens the door.

Ms Depesto: "Good morning Mr. Addison, Ms Hayes."

David: "Good morning Ms Depesto." He looks to the employees. "Good morning class."

Employees look up and all together say "Good morning Mr. Addison."

David: "Ms Hayes and I have a few bits of info we would like to share with you this morning." David puts his hands together and walks around the room a bit. As you all know in a few short months we will have a new addition to our Blue Moon family." Everyone looks at Maddie. "As you all know in most normal cases it takes two to tango." Everyone looks at Maddie and back to David and back to Maddie again.

Maddie tries not to smile, but can't she help it. She loves it when David goes into his "chief coo coo mode."

David looks at Maddie and smiles. "One and one make two." He walks over to Maddie and takes her hand. Looking at Ms Depesto "From now on all calls in the middle of the night should be directed to Ms Hayes' house." David looks back to the employees. "That is all."

David and Maddie walk towards Maddie's office. David stops at Maddie's office door and turns back to the employees who are staring at the both of them.

David: "Oh yeah kids, nap time will be extended 30 minutes today." David smiles and opens the door to Maddie's office, they walk in.

As soon as Maddie's door closes, Maddie puts her arms around David and kisses him.

Maddie: "You are something else, Addison."

David smiling "Yeah I know. I thought it went well"

Maddie leans in and kisses David again.
