Sweet Baby
Part IV
The next morning Maddie wakes to find that David never made it home the night before.
Maddie thinks to herself "Where could he be?"
The phone rings.
Maddie: "Hello."
Sam: "How are you this morning?"
Maddie: "What do you want Sam?"
Sam: "I know you are probably mad about my conversation with yesterday."
Maddie looks totally shocked. "You had a conversation with David?"
Sam: "What? You mean he didn't come crying to you about how I'm going to steal you away from him?"
Maddie: "Sam, what is this?"
Sam: "What's this?"
Maddie: "I've never known you to be so cold and arrogant and really, you're being a jerk."
Sam: "I know what I want Maddie. I can't afford to be nice right now."
Maddie: "Sam, I've got to go."
Sam: "Let's have lunch."
Maddie: "What? No I can't Sam."
Sam: "I'll pick you up at your office at 11:30."
Maddie: "No, Sam."
Sam hangs up the phone.
Maddie thinks, "Well at least I know why David didn't come home. I should have come clean with him yesterday. It's too late for that now. Not exactly a good way to start off a marriage."

Maddie walks into Blue Moon before anyone else has arrived. Or so she thinks. She looks at David's office door and walks over and opens it.
David's office is a wreck (much like it was in I'm Curious… Maddie). Maddie hears water running in David's bathroom. She looks at the door for a second, and then she returns to looking at David's office.
The bathroom door opens.
Maddie turns to David and asks, "Are you okay?"
David looks around a bit. "Me? Sure I just couldn't find any paperclips. I hate it when that happens."
Maddie: "I missed you last night."
David: "You did? Well, I had some things I needed to do."
Maddie: "So I heard. You want to talk about it?"
David stares at Maddie.
Maddie: "David, I don't know what was said between you and Sam yesterday…"
David: "I'm going to kill Bert."
Maddie a bit confused. "What does he have to do with anything?"
David: "What?"
Maddie: "David, Sam called this morning. He told me that the two of you talked yesterday."
David: "We've got to change our number."
Maddie: "David this is serious. You two talked, then you didn't come home."
David: "Are you surprised?"
Maddie: "About what? That you talked to Sam or that you didn't come home?"
David: "Take your pick."
Maddie: "I was surprised that you didn't come home until Sam called. Then I knew why."
David looks at Maddie. "So why didn't you tell me?"
Maddie looks at the floor. "I didn't think it would matter."
David yelling, "you didn't think it would matter?" David starts pacing around his cluttered office. "What the hell do you mean you didn't think it would matter?"
Maddie: "David, please…"
David still yelling, "the space man shows up to claim his child, you decide we need to get married, we get married and you think that the fact that he's here doesn't matter to me? How can you do this Maddie? Everything was going great for us. We were actually getting along. Then you lie to me?"
Maddie: "I didn't lie to you."
David: "Well you sure as hell weren't being honest with me!"
David try's to clam down.
David: "Maddie don't you see you are still running."
Maddie: "Running from what?"
David: "Life, decisions, confrontation."
Maddie: "What?"
David: "You couldn't handle our relationship so you ran to Chicago. You couldn't handle the thought of having my baby so you married Walter. You didn't want Sam to have control over this situation so you married me."
Maddie a little defensive, "I married you because I love you. I'm sorry you can't handle that. And I'll have you know I have never ran from confrontation in my whole life."
David: "Yeah I know you are the Queen of Confrontation, until now."
Maddie: "You really think I had ulterior motives for marring you?
David: "I think you were scared."
Maddie: "Maybe I was. I am. If this is Sam's baby he is going to try to take it away from me."
David: "I will not let that happen. Besides I have a feeling that Skywalker is not the father."
Maddie grins. "I hope you are right." Her grin falls, "That is why I felt like we needed to get married now. I mean, what judge would take a child from a two parent home and give it to a single father."
David: "Well, this is California."
Maddie: "I may have rushed us into this, but I do intend for it to last. I hope I haven't ruined it."
David: "You haven't. I intend for it to last too. I just wish you had told me about Sam."
Maddie: "Had I told you, would you have still married me?"
David: "I think so. I knew something was up."
Maddie: "So, are we okay?"
David: "A-okay."
David walks over to Maddie and kisses her. There is a knock on the door.
David sighs. "Come in."
Agnes sticks her head in and looks around at the mess in David's office.
David: "Yes Ms DePesto?"
Agnes: "Umm. Walter and Terry are here."
David: "Thank you Ms DePesto. Show them to Ms Hayes' office please."
Agnes closes the door.
Maddie looks at David. "I think it's time that we share our news with the world."
David smiles at Maddie and opens the door. "After you."
COMMERCIAL
In Maddie's office. David is playing with little Walter. Maddie, Walter and Terry are watching David.
Walter: "We were wondering if the two of you would like to join us for an early lunch?"
Maddie looking at the clock, which read 10:50 "Sure, I'm starving."
David: "Sounds great."
Scene fades.
David and Maddie are in the car. David is driving.
Maddie: "David, there is something I didn't tell you earlier."
David: "What's that."
Maddie: "I think Sam is going to be at the office at 11:30 to take me to lunch. I mean I told him no, but I think he was going to show up anyway."
David grins. "No wonder you were so anxious to go to lunch with Terry and Walter."
Maddie: "No I really did want to go to lunch with them. I have a feeling they have something they want to say to us. And I really didn't want to go to lunch with Sam. I have nothing to say to him."
David: "Nothing?"
Maddie: "Nothing."
David: "He doesn't know we're married."
Maddie: "He doesn't?"
David: "No."
Maddie: "You didn't tell him?"
David: "No, and I take it you didn't either."
Maddie shakes her head.
David: "I didn't feel like it was my place to tell him."
Maddie sincerely says, "Thank you."
Sam sees Maddie and David pass going in the opposite direction from the agency.
Sam: "Where is she going? She knows I was going to meet her at 11:30." Sam starts to steam. "Addison"
Sam does a quick U-Turn and begins following David and Maddie who are too into their conversation to notice.
David puts on his blinker and turns into the parking lot right behind Walter and Terry.
Sam drives on to the next parking lot entrance keeping an eye on Maddie's BMW. Sam finds a park and gets out of the car to see David and Maddie holding hands, and Walter and Terry with little Walter.
Sam thinks. "This is going to be a bad scene. Maddie is going to be mad, David may even try to hit me again." Sam giggles. "He punches like a sissy."
Sam walks into the restaurant and sees Walter and Terry smiling at David holding and Maddie talking to little Walter.
Walter: "Terry and I have something we want to share with you too." He smiles at Terry. "Since you are responsible for us meeting, we thought you should be the first to know."
David: "Shoot."
Maddie: "Then we have something we want to share with you."
Terry: "Walter and I are getting married!"
David and Maddie say simultaneously. "That's great."
David: "So, when's the big day?"
Terry: "After the first of the year. We thought we would wait until after Maddie had her baby."
Maddie smiles, "David and I have some news too…"
Sam: "Maddie."
Maddie: "Sam, what are you doing here?"
Sam: "I did a little detective work of my own. It wasn't that hard."
Maddie: "No, I mean what do you want?"
Sam: "I thought we were going to have lunch."
Maddie: "You thought wrong."
Sam looks at Walter and Terry and sticks out his hand. "Hello, Sam Crawford."
Walter: "Walter Bishop and this is Terry…"
Little Walter begins to cry. David hands him to Terry.
Maddie looks at David. "I'm not feeling much like lunch anymore. Can we go?"
David: "Sure."
David gets up and helps Maddie out of her chair. "Walter, Terry sorry we have to run. Congratulations."
Maddie says to Walter, "We'll talk again later."
Terry motions for David to come over to her.
Terry whispers to David. "I got the feeling that you two wanted to tell us something. Are you two getting married?"
David looks at Maddie for a second. Then he whispers to Terry. "Already done."
Terry smiles and gives David a hug.
David: "We'll see you kids later."
Sam: "We're going to have dinner tonight."
David: "Do I get to pick the restaurant?"
Sam is disgusted. "I was talking to Maddie."
Maddie: "I'm not feeling well. I'll talk to you later, Sam."
David and Maddie leave the restaurant and get into the car.
David looks at Maddie. Maddie is looking a little green. "You okay?"
Maddie: "I think my water just broke."
David stares at Maddie with a shocked expression.
Maddie: "Addison! To the hospital."
