Garage Apartment
(Ruthie goes up stairs)
Ruthie: hey Lucy, can I talk to you in private?
Lucy: sure Ruthie, Kevin why don't you take Ryan for a walk or something?
Kevin: ok Lucy (he grabs Ryan and his baby bag and goes down stairs)
Lucy: ok than what did you want to talk about?
Ruthie: I don't know how to tell you this or anyone else but I'm pregnant
Lucy: What?????????????? Ruthie how? When? with who?
Ruthie: yeah I know…….you know Christmas Eve and you and Mary were in labor?
Lucy: yeah and……………..
Ruthie: well Peter ask me to go into the basement with him so I went and he kissed me for the first time and than before we knew it we were naked
Lucy: (shocked) Ruthie what the hell were you thinking?
Ruthie: I don't know, it was stupid ok but what should I do?
Lucy: well first of all are you really pregnant?
Ruthie: well I took a test and it was positive
Lucy: those tests don't mean anything, let's be sure ill make you a doctors appointment
Ruthie: ok, your not going to tell mom and dad are you?
Lucy: no I'm not, I wouldn't want Mary to tell mom and dad if I was in your situation
Ruthie: (hugs her) thank you so much
Lucy: ok hold on I'm making you a doctors appointment (calls the doctor)
(Lucy sets up a doctor's appointment for Ruthie at 3:30 that day)

Open house
(Matt and Sarah are looking for a house)
Matt: do you like it Sarah?
Sarah: I guess so
Matt: so you don't like it
Sarah: no not really
Matt: ok then we can look some more tomorrow
Sarah: thank god if I saw one more ugly house I was going to pass out
Matt: (laughs) yeah I agree these houses are ugly

Guest room
Celia: Simon did you know we have to take 6 months of coursing in order to get married?
Simon: no why?
Celia: think about it Simon we can't get married until like I don't know, but I guarantee that it will be a couple of weeks or months before the baby comes
Simon: o
Celia: you promised me that I would have to show up at our wedding looking like I don't know pregnant
Simon: I know Celia but what are we going to do?
Celia: well…………..maybe we can get married in another church so we wouldn't have to take those classes
Simon: No what are you crazy? That is my fathers church, I can't get married in another church
Celia: well Simon tough because I am not showing up at our wedding fat
Simon: than you shouldn't come at all
Celia: (shocked) I hate you (runs off crying)
Simon: Celia wait come back I didn't mean it, look what I did now

Guest Room
(Packing to go back to NY)
Mary: Carlos can we move back here please please please
Carlos: Mary? Why all of a sudden you want to move back here again
Mary: because when I had the baby, I realized that I haven't been a great family member and haven't really been there for any of my family, and when I was in labor my family was there helping me , so I want to give back what they always gave me
Carlos: I know you do Mary but our whole life is in NY
Mary: no it isn't Carlos, my life doesn't have anything to do with my family, I want to start over
Carlos: Mary Please can we just go back to NY and talk about it
Mary: fine whatever but you are going to lose

Doctor's office
Nurse: Ruthie Camden?
Ruthie: that's me, Lucy you coming?
Lucy: sure why not
(Both Lucy and Ruthie go into the room)
Nurse: the doctor will be with you shortly
(As Lucy and Ruthie wait in that room, their father passes by that room)
Eric: hey, what are you guys doing here?
Ruthie: o nothing, you?
Eric: very funny Ruthie, I was visiting an old friend of mine that works here, now why are you guys here?
Ruthie: really nothing
Eric: (looks at Lucy) Lucy are you expecting again?
(Ruthie looks at Lucy scared)
Lucy: (looks at Ruthie) um yeah dad exactly and I brought Ruthie here because she wanted to come
Eric: o congratulations Lucy (hugs her) well I better be going now
Lucy: o and dad will you do me a favor?
Eric: sure Lucy
Lucy: um can you not tell Kevin about the baby yet?
Eric: I promise, why he doesn't know?
Lucy: yeah and I want to surprise him
Eric: ok Luce whatever you say, Bye Lucy Bye Ruthie
(Eric leaves)
Lucy: great Ruthie now I am "pregnant"
Ruthie: thank you so much, why did you do that? You totally saved me
Lucy: well I was in a good mood and I didn't want dad to freak so I told him I was pregnant so he would suspect anything about you
Ruthie: you're the best sister ever……..but Lucy how are you going to pull off being pregnant when your really not?
Lucy: how do you know if I am or I'm not? (Gives her a mysterious look)
Ruthie: what you are really pregnant?
Lucy: no I was joking to freak you out
Ruthie: o so anyway what are you going to do?
Lucy: I have no clue I guess I will say I had a miscarriage or something
Ruthie: good idea
Lucy: Ruthie you owe me big time for this? You better be pregnant now or else I would be helping you out and pretending to be pregnant for nothing (laughs)
Ruthie: (hits her gently) Lucy you have to be nice to me I'm pregnant
Lucy: not officially
Ruthie: hopefully not
(The doctor walks in)
