Sweet Baby

Part II

We see Maddie's kitchen with bacon frying on the stove and we hear David singing "Sugar pie, honey bun you know I love you. Can't help myself, I love you and nobody else."

Maddie is smiling and standing in the doorway. "Good morning to you too."

David looks up and smiles. "You just get more beautiful everyday."

Maddie looks down at stomach and says "Please."

David: "You are glowing with beauty."

Maddie smiles she knows that he is being honest with her.

David walks over to Maddie and kisses her.

The phone rings.

Maddie pulls away and rolls her eyes as she goes to answer the phone.

Maddie: "Hello." Pause "Yes Mr. Viola, he's here."

Maddie hands the phone to David.

David sighs looking a little perplexed.

David: "What?" He listens "Yes Bert, that is weird, that is very weird. See you in 20 minutes."

David hangs up the phone and looks at Maddie.

David: "Bert has a new lead on the Ensolmo case." He pauses looking at Maddie. "Why don't you stay home and rest this morning." "I noticed that you were more tired than usual yesterday afternoon."

David looked at Maddie who was wearing a semi-frown on her face. David thinks, "oh great I've made her mad."

David: "It was just a suggestion." Trying to climb out of the hole he was sure he had just dug himself into.

Maddie gave him a quick smile. "I was thinking the same thing although I thought that you could stay with me, but it looks like you have to go."

David sadly says "Yeah." Then he smiles at Maddie, "can I have a rain check?"

Maddie smiles, "you sure can." She looks at the clock. "You had better hurry, Viloa will be here in a minute."

David gives Maddie a quick kiss and walks out of the kitchen.

The doorbell rings.

Maddie opens the door.

Mr. Viola: "Good morning Ms Hayes."

Maddie: "Mr. Viola." She turns to the stairs and calls for David.

David: "I'm coming." He walks up behind Maddie and looks at Bert. "I'll be there in a minute Bert."

Taking the hint, Bert goes and waits in the car.

Maddie looking at David, "I'll be in the office this afternoon."

David: "I'm taking you out to dinner tonight." He smiles. "I've already made reservations."

Maddie smiles at David and gives him a long kiss.

David pulls back and looks at Maddie. "I love you Maddie Hayes."

Maddie: "I know."

David smiles "see you later."

Maddie calls out to David as he is getting in the car, "I love you too."

Their eyes lock onto one another for a moment and David gets into Viola's car and they drive away.

As David and Viola drive away the camera focuses in on a red mustang. Behind the wheel we see none other than Sam watching David drive away. Sam puts his car into gear.

Maddie's doorbell rings.

Maddie hears the doorbell and thinks. "He must have forgot his keys."

She walks to the door with a smile on her face. "Forget something?" as she opens the door. She is shocked to see "Sam!"

Commercial

Sam: "Hello Maddie."

Maddie: "Sam, what in the hell are you doing here?"

Sam: "I heard that you were pregnant. I see that that is indeed the case." Looking at her stomach.

Maddie: "Come in and have a seat. Would you like a cup of coffee?"

Sam: "Maddie, I'm not going to dance around here. So here it is. I want to be a father to my child and I want to raise it with its mother. So..."

Maddie: "So what?"

Sam: "Let's get married."

Maddie is shocked. "You can't be serious."

Sam: "I am very serious Maddie. I understand the pride that has kept you from telling me about this. I forgive you for not telling me about this. I even forgive you for running to David."

Maddie looks very disgusted. "You have some nerve showing up here saying you forgive me and presuming that you know anything about what is going on in my life."

Sam: "I know you Maddie. I know you would have to be pretty desperate to turn to David. Well, you don't have to do that anymore. I'm here and I'm here to stay."

Maddie is furious. "Get out!" She starts walking to the door. "You have no idea as to what is going on here. I love David." She turns to Sam. "This may not even be your baby."

Sam looks a little shocked. "You love him? Well okay Maddie, if you want to short change yourself on him that is your choice." He moves closer to Maddie. Eye to eye "I will not allow an ass like David Addison to raise my child." Pause. "It's your choice Maddie."

Sam walks out the door and turns back to Maddie. "I will be in LA until the baby is born. I want a paternity test as soon as possible."

Sam begins to walk away and turns back to Maddie. "We'll talk about the wedding afterwards."

Maddie: "You are so arrogant."

Sam: "I know what I want Maddie."

Maddie: "As do I. There will never be a wedding. Not for us, Sam."

Sam: "We'll see." Sam gets into his car and drives away.

Commercial

Maddie is driving her car still furious over Sam's arrogance. "We'll see. I'll show you." Her anger is overwhelming, but underneath her anger is fear. Fear that Sam will make good on his threat. "He's not going to take my baby from me." She pats her stomach. "David is your father not Sam."

Maddie arrives at the office.

Agnes: "Good afternoon Ms Hayes. Mr. Addison just got in, he's in his office."

Maddie: "Hold all his calls for a minute." She looks around the room and sees Mr. Viola standing in the corner. She smiles and walks in David's office.

David: "Hey beautiful." He smiles at her.

Maddie: "I take it the lead on the Ensolmo case didn't pan out."

David sighs "You take it right. It was a lead. A cold lead." He smiles at Maddie. "So, are you all rested up for dinner?"

Maddie: "David" She looks at him for a second. She smiles. "Let's do it."

David: "What? Right now? Here? In my office with the employees on the other side of the door listening?"

They hear sound of people moving quickly back to their desks.

Maddie smiles. "No David, not that." She walks over to him and looks him in the eyes. "Let's get married."

David is dumbfounded. He looks as though someone knocked the wind out of him. He is speechless.

Maddie, after waiting a few moments. "Earth to David."

David shakes his head. "I'm sorry. Wow! You really know how to keep a guy on his toes."

Maddie: "I'm sorry. I know I sprung this on you."

David: "Yeah." He looks deeply at Maddie. "Are you sure this is what you want?"

Maddie: "Do bears bear? Do bees bee?"

David smirks and they hug and kiss.

David still holding Maddie "where and when?" Hoping she would say, "let's hop the next flight to Vegas." He knew that would be too spontaneous for Maddie.

Maddie: "I'm ready now."

David can't believe this. "What?"

Maddie: Here's our tickets, we go to Vegas, get married and be back in LA in time for a late dinner."

David nods his head slowly with a blank look on his face.

Maddie: "Let's go."
