Chapter 19 "2 guys for Michelle?"
(I am fast-forwarding it 2 months for storyline purposes. Elizabeth is now 5 months pregnant. Michelle is 7 months pregnant)
***At Kelly's***
Liz: (sighs) "Well, I'm off! See you guys later!"
Tammy: "See you. Remember now, rest."
Liz: "I will."
Melody: "We're gonna make sure you follow doctor's orders."
Taylor: "Bye."
(Elizabeth goes upstairs. Michelle then comes into Kelly's & sits at a table. Melody goes to her)
Melody: "What will it be?"
Michelle: "Apple pie and some milk, please."
Melody: "Okey-dokey!"
(Elizabeth unlocks her apartment door & goes in)
Liz: (sighs) "Gonna feel good to get some rest."
(Lucky comes out of the bathroom)
Lucky: "Hey, beautiful."
Liz: (jumps back a little and turns around to face Lucky) "Oh! You scared me!"
Lucky: (chuckles) "Sorry."
Liz: "Shouldn't you be at work?"
Lucky: "Oh, uh, got the rest of the afternoon off."
Liz: "Hmm. What are you doing home?"
Lucky: (smiles) "Wanted to take care of my beautiful, pregnant wife."
(He starts to massage her shoulder)
Liz: "That feels good."
Lucky: "Good."
(After a few minutes, he takes his hands off & gently taps them)
Lucky: "Now, draw yourself a nice hot bath & when you get done & come out, I'll have supper waiting."
Liz: "Mmm. Sounds like a plan."
Lucky: "I even called the hospital to set up an appointment for our 1st ultrasound."
Liz: "When?"
Lucky: "Friday at 1pm. Right after lunch."
Liz: "Hmmm…two days away."
Lucky: (smiling) "I can't wait to hear our baby's first heartbeat."
Liz: "You can't? Me either."
Lucky: "What are you hoping for?"
Liz: "As long as it's healthy. That's all that matters."
Lucky: "Me too. Now, draw yourself a bath."
Liz: "Ok."
(They kiss. Elizabeth then takes her robe & her nightgown with her in the bathroom. Lucky then goes to the freezer & takes out pork shops. He then gets a can of corn, & starts to make everything. Just then, the phone rings. Lucky answers it)
Lucky: "Hello?"
Nicholas: "Hey, bro."
Lucky: "Hey. What's up?"
Nicholas: "Do you have any idea where Michelle is?"
Lucky: "Mmm…no. Why would I?"
Nicholas: "Well, she was supposed to meet me at Kelly's and she never showed."
Lucky: "I haven't seen her since my wedding night. Sorry."
Nicholas: "Thanks anyway."
(Nicholas and Lucky hang up. Lucky is almost finished with supper & sets everything out on the table. Liz comes out of the bathroom in her robe)
Liz: (sniffs) "Mmm! Smells good!"
Lucky: "It's almost done."
Liz: "Ok!"
(Lucky finishes supper. He sets the plates)
Lucky: "Hope you like it."
Liz: "I always love it."
(They both dish up their plates & start eating. At Luke's, Michelle goes out of her apartment and heads downstairs)
Michelle: (sighs) "It is so boring in this town."
(Michelle walks into the bar while when she's downstairs and a guy notices her and goes up to her)
Man: "Hey, girl, want to play pool?"
Michelle: "No, thanks."
Man: "Okay." (Noticing her belly) "Whoa! How far along are you?"
Michelle: "7 months."
Man: "Whoever the father is, he's real lucky."
Michelle: (whispers) "Yeah, if the father was only who I want it to be."
Man: "What was that?"
Michelle: "Nothing. Are you from here at all?"
Man: "Sorta."
Michelle: "Sorta? What does that mean?"
Man: "Passing through town. You?"
Michelle: "Same here."
Man: "You better snuggle up in some warm covers in your condition."
Michelle: (smirks) "Don't remind me."
Man: "Of what?"
Michelle: "Let me put it to you this way, I'm sorry, what's your name?"
Man: "Travis. You?"
Michelle: "Michelle. If it was up to me, I wouldn't be pregnant. But I'm stuck with this kid."
Travis: "Can I get you anything?"
Michelle: "Just some water, please."
(Travis goes to the counter. A guy at the counter gives Travis some water. He gives the water to Michelle)
Michelle: "Thank you."
Travis: "You're welcome."
(Nicholas then walks in & notices Michelle. He goes to her)
Nicholas: (kinda angrily) "Michelle, what are you doing here?"
Michelle: (drinking some water) "Just chatting. You?"
Nicholas: (scoffs) "Trying to find you!"
Michelle: (jokingly) "Oh, that's so sweet!" (to Nicholas) "How often are you this nice?"
Nicholas: "Say goodbye! We're going."
Michelle: "And what if I don't want to?"
Nicholas: "Trust me. You'll want to."
Travis: "She's having fun here, aren't you, Michelle?"
Michelle: "Yeah, actually, I am."
Nicholas: (grabbing Michelle) "Too bad."
(Nicholas grabs Michelle & heads out. They go to Nicholas' place)
Nicholas: (angrily) "Do you have ANY idea what you were doing back at the club?"
Michelle: "Yeah, I was having a good time with that guy, Travis, back there."
Nicholas: "Do you know what guys there are like?"
Michelle: "Well, he wasn't one of them! Why do you care anyway?"
Nicholas: "I thought we were friends!"
Michelle: "Yeah, well, so did I! But I don't know if I want to anymore!"
Nicholas: "And why is that?"
Michelle: "Because you grabbed a pregnant woman out of a club like that. And do I need to remind you that I live there!"
Nicholas: "Yeah, well, you're staying here tonight!"
Michelle: "Says who?"
Nicholas: "Says me!"
(They then stare at each other. Back at Emily's house, the phone rings, which Emily gets)
Emily: "Hello?"
Max: "Emily? Hey!"
Emily: "Hey! What's up?"
Max: "Nothing much. You?"
Emily: "Just studying for a test that we have tomorrow."
Max: "What? Pre-Algebra? That's stuff is easy!"
Emily: "Maybe for you it is."
Max: "I could tutor you, if you want?"
Emily: "No, I don't want to bother you."
Max: "You didn't bother me with it before."
Emily: "I'll-I'll consider it. Thanks."
Max: "Okay."
(They hang up the phone. Back at Nicholas' house, Michelle and Nicholas are staring at each other & are about to kiss when Michelle pulls back)
Michelle: "S-So, uh, um, where do I sleep since I guess I'm spending the night here?"
Nicholas: "You can sleep in my room on my bed."
Michelle: "Where-where will you sleep?"
Nicholas: "I have some extra bedrooms. I'll sleep in one of them."
Michelle: "Okay, then. G-Goodnight."
Nicholas: "Goodnight, Michelle."
(Michelle heads upstairs. Nicholas gets ready for bed. He goes to sleep in one of the spare rooms. Michelle notices the room where Nicholas is in is open a little. She peaks inside. She then walks by him & leans toward him)
Michelle: "I shouldn't have pulled back. I DID want to kiss you, Nicholas."
(She leans back & goes back to her room)
