Kirsten: So did you have any luck Sandy?
Sandy: No, nobody has seen him.
Kirsten: Oh Sandy, what are we going to do now?
Sandy: All we can do is wait.
Kirsten: We've been waiting for three weeks Sandy!
Ryan: Don't worry Kirsten; he'll turn up.
Sandy, Kirsten and Ryan sat back down at the kitchen table, while Marissa took her coffee mug over to the sink.
Marissa: I think I should get home…deal with my mother.
Ryan: You sure?
Marissa: Yeah, it will be okay, I'll be back later.
Back in Chino, Theresa is still in her room crying over Ryan, and Theresa's mom is standing in the kitchen doing the dishes. Suddenly, she hears the doorbell ring. Theresa's mom stops what she is doing and goes over to the door and opens it.
Theresa's Mom: Eddie.
Eddie: Hi, is Theresa –
Theresa's Mom: She's upset Eddie, you should come back later.
Theresa's mom tries to close the door on Eddie, but he pushes the door back open and steps into the house.
Eddie: What is going on?
Theresa's Mom: Nothing, I don't think she wants to see anybody.
Eddie: (Annoyed) I'm sure she'd see Ryan…
Theresa's Mom looks down at the floor avoiding eye contact with Eddie.
Eddie: …Where is Ryan?
Theresa's Mom: He had to go back to Newport.
Eddie: That's why she's upset, isn't it.
Theresa's Mom doesn't say anything and Eddie is obviously pissed off, he stormed down the hall and burst into Theresa's room, and sees her laying on the bed crying.
Eddie: Theresa!
Theresa: Get out of here Eddie!
Eddie: No!
Theresa gets up from the bed and stands in front of Eddie.
Theresa: I want nothing to do with you.
Eddie: Yeah well I think our baby that is growing inside of you would say different.
Theresa: (Yelling) As far as I'm concerned it is not your baby!
Eddie: (Yelling) How can you say that!
Theresa: Because I want the baby to be Ryan's.
Eddie clinched his hands into fists.
Eddie: This baby is not Ryan's. You slept with Ryan once, how many times have we slept together over the past couple months, it is million to one odds that that baby is Ryan's!
Theresa: Yeah well I'll take my chances! God knows you're going to make one hell of a father!
Before Eddie knew it, he had careened back and slapped Theresa across the face. Theresa let out a scream and was spun around and falling back by the force of Eddie's slap. Theresa's stomach crashed into the corner of the footboard of the bed and she fell to the floor. Theresa's mom ran into the bedroom after hearing Theresa's scream, she saw Theresa laying on the floor and Eddie standing over her. Theresa's mom grabbed Eddie's arm and tried to pull him back but Eddie shook her off of him and pushed her into the wall.
Eddie: Bitch!
Eddie ran out of the bedroom and then out of the house smashing everything around him as he left. Theresa's mom immediately went over to Theresa who was laying on the floor in a fetal position crying and clutching her stomach.
Theresa: (Between tears) The baby…the baby.
