Scene7
Interior. Cory and Topanga's bedroom. Cory, Shawn, and Topanga are gathered around the computer.
Cory: Topanga why didn't you just tell Shawn when you found out?
Topanga: Because Angela didn't want Shawn to know.
Shawn: Yeah I get that but why it's not like I didn't like kids or anything, and lord only knows how madly in love with her I was.
Katy: Knock, Knock
Shawn: Of Corse I am totally over her now though.
Katy: What's going on Shawn you said you were going to pick me up from the dinner and then we would head over to Cory and Topanga's?
Shawn: Sorry I had a family emergency.
Katy: wait I thought you told me you didn't have any family except for your brother Jack who you don't really speak to.
Shawn: Well Katy promises me you won't get mad?
Katy: How on earth can I promise that if I don't even know what it is yet?
Shawn: You know Angela?
Katy: Not personally, but I know she was the last woman you had a serious relationship with before me.
Shawn: well (rubs the back of his neck nervously)
Topanga: Well Shawn here knocked her up a little over sixteen years ago and didn't find out about it till today.
Shawn: I could have found out about it sixteen years ago if it wasn't for you.
Topanga: I wasn't about to betray my best friends wishes.
Shawn: why not?
Topanga: Because I knew she just wanted what she thought was best for Marie
Shawn: So now you don't think I'm who is best for my kid?
Katy: can I speak with Shawn in private for a minute?
Topanga: of Corse, Cory!
Cory: But it's my room.
Topanga: Come on (drags Cory by the arm out of the room)
Katy: I think it's nice you want to find your long lost daughter and all, but Maya and I can't be put through this again. I can't have you choose your other family over us that's what Maya's father did and no kid deserves to have to go through that once let alone twice.
Shawn: Katy I'm not leaving you and Maya I love you guys, but if I have a daughter out there I can't just let her go through life thinking I don't care about her.
Katy: I just think it would be safer for all of us if we don't tell people we're engaged till you can work this out.
Shawn: Katy no I need you. I can't go and find my daughter without knowing you're with me on this.
Katy: how can I be with you on this Shawn you're going to see a woman you haven't seen in sixteen years who you obviously still have feelings for how am I suppose to compete with that?
Shawn: you don't have to compete with anyone Katy you're mine I'm the one who stays remember.
Katy: I hope you're right Shawn Hunter.
Shawn: of Course I am. it will all work out trust me I will spend some of my savings ,and find us a new place I have a job interview lined up with the New York Times for next week, and we can be one big family just the girls you and I.
Katy: Cory has really rubbed off on you hasn't he?
Shawn: what do you mean?
Katy: I mean you think everything will turn out all right and we'll just become one big happy family?
Shawn: Why not?
Katy: Because that kind of thing never happens to people like us. I'll see you when you get back from seeing your daughter
(Katy leaves.)
(Shawn sits on Cory and Topanga's bed crying.)
