Chapter 2
Meeting The Future Mother In Law, and Choosing A Ring
Next Morning, Tuesday June 3 2003 10:00 am
Babe is lying in to JR; he has his arm wrapped around he; Babe lifts his arm off her, and goes to take a shower 10 minutes later JR is in there with her
JR – good morning cheese puff!
Babe – cheese puff?
JR – I like it…
Babe – it's okay, but don't use it all the time
JR – agreed…can you pass the shampoo
Babe hands him the shampoo
JR - so that was awesome last night!
Babe – yes it was, and to think when we finally get to go all the way it will be much better
Babe turns around and looks at him; he has shampoo on his hands
JR – so are we going to get you divorced, so we can finally test out that theory?
Babe – you bet…(she goes behind him now; he rinses off his hair; and gets the shampoo off his face) oh darling can you pass me the shampoo?
Babe - (JR passes her the shampoo) thanks honey!
JR – I like darling, but don't use it all the time!
Babe – well then we need to choose "pet names" for each other
JR – well sweetheart, good luck with that…because I would call you babe but your name is Babe, you can see the difficulty in that…right?
Babe – yeah, but we'll find something better then babe, does that mean your letting me choose both the names…thanks sweetie!
She stands in front of him now and washes her hair out; she gets it all out and he is staring at her
JR – haven't you realized we just found names that we can call each other…those are fine!
Babe – very true… (She opens her eyes and is looking at him; and smiles) okay so what do you want for breakfast?
JR – what do you usually have?
Babe – oatmeal and coffee
JR – cool, I'll take some of that!
Babe walks a few inches and puts her hands on his chest; she stands up on her toes and kisses him on the lips…and pulls away
Babe – I'll see you in a bit darling! (She winks)
JR – I am almost done, then will eat and get you divorced cheese puff!
Babe bites her lip, she walks out of the shower and wraps a towel around her, she then wraps her hair in one she goes and changes into a jean mini skirt and a halter-top along with her flip-flops and puts on herClinque Happyperfume, and allows her hair to dry naturally which will result in wavy hair.
10 minutes later JR walks out of the bathroom, wearing a blue t-shirt and black jeans along with his K-Swiss strip shoes, his hair is a messy spiked… he smells like Babe's yogurt and rose petal body wash; because there was no other option?
He walks up to kiss Babe and Babe kisses back, the coffee machine beeps and the kettle boils
JR – I'll pour the coffees
Babe – I'll make the oatmeal
They do that then they sit on the couch and turn on the View, they eat for 15 minutes then they go to the justice of peace, and get Babe's marriage annulled, but she needs Paul's signature so she calls his cell and asks him to get down here, he arrives within 20 minutes and then signs the papers and it's official they are no longer married. Paul leaves and Babe meets JR at the dock were he went to go quit his job with the cargo ship.
Babe walks up to the dock and looks out at the ocean, JR walks up behind her and wraps his arms around her waist…
Babe – what do you want too do now?
JR – well even though I am showered I would like to change my clothes plus the motel was being paid for by the captain of the ship, so I have no place to live.
Babe – let's go get your stuff and come back here
Babe and JR walk to the motel holding hands, they pack his bag and they go to the Manager Desk and return the key, then they go to Babe's apartment and sit on the sofa and talk.
JR – I want to marry you!
Babe – when?
JR – it's up to you, but I love you and I want you to be my wife
Babe – I love you too, I would love to get married to you!
JR – so let's do it…
Babe – are you sure…that's it's not too fast?
JR – honestly…I've never been surer of anything in my life, because you're the one…I feel it!
Babe – I feel it too, okay! Were getting married…
JR – this is going to be awesome, where going to have a wonderful life together!
Babe – yaye! I get to be married to the best man in the whole wide world…and I get to love him forever
JR – and I get to love the best woman in the world forever
Babe (smiles) we are perfect for each other…I can't wait to tell mama about you!
JR – I would like to meet her!
Babe - you will I promise!
JR – okay good, have you talked to her at all?
Babe – nope, I was planning on calling her at 12 because she'll be up by then she works the night shifts
JR – cool, what do you want to do?
Babe – just sit, and hold me
JR – I can do that…
JR and Babe sit, and order a movie, when the movie ends at 12:30 Babe calls her mom while JR makes lunch
Krystal – Hi baby doll…
Babe – Hi momma, I have to give you an update!
Krystal – I am listening? But first I am coming home on Wednesday June 11
Babe – oh my god! Really?
Krystal – yes…
Babe – that's awesome, I can't wait for you to meet JR!
Krystal – what…what happened to Paul?
Babe – we got our marriage annulled this morning but last night I met JR and we fell in love and momma this time it's the real thing. He's from Pine valley, Pennsylvania …I love him!
Krystal – your daddy's from there!
Babe – really, he's not a Chandler right…
Krystal – no…
Babe – Thank god! Because I would have trouble if he was…
Krystal – so he's the one!
Babe – yes, I can't wait for you to meet him and he wants to meet you!
Krystal – I am sure I would like him, as long as my baby doll is happy I am happy
Babe – good…hold on
Babe covers the receiver with her hand
Babe – do you want to say hi?

JR gets the phone
Babe – call her Ms. Carey…(Babe smiles a evil smirk)
JR – Hi Ms. Carey, It's JR
Krystal – Hi JR, please call me Krystal…
JR – okay Krystal, I can't wait to meet you…Babe has told me lots about you and you sound really cool
Krystal – why Thank-you, I can't wait to meet you.
JR – okay, I got food on the stove…here's Babe
JR hands Babe the phone, and walks towards the stove
Babe – Hi momma, so?
Krystal – he sounds nice, and cute
Babe – no, he's not cute he's ugly! like the ugly duckling...
JR sticks out his tongue at her, Babe does the same!
Krystal – the ugly duckling turns in to a beautiful swan
Babe - amybe as he ages...he'll become that beautiful swan!
Krystal - he's hot isn't he?
Babe – oh yeah…
Krystal – okay darling, I am going to go I have stuff to do…love you sweet pea!
Babe – I love you too momma, bye!
They hang up
JR – so what was that about Chandler?
Babe – my dad's from pine valley, and I was making sure we weren't related
JR – and were not…right?
Babe – nope…
JR – thank god! Cause I would die!
Babe – I know what you mean… I couldn't imagine life without you
JR – neither can I
Babe – momma's coming home on Wednesday June 11
JR – you must be psyched!
Babe – I am…can I ask you a favor?
JR – sure…
Babe – can we live in Pine Valley? I want to live in the town you grew up in, all your family's there, my dad's there and I want to raise our future children there, and tell them that in that baseball field your daddy hit his first home run there, or something like that…
JR – well we are able to do that, I did hit my first home run in the baseball field
Babe – so does that mean…Yes?
JR – Yes! And I think Krystal should come with us to Pine Valley…we'll help her out financially if she needs help!
Babe (smiles) thank-you (she kisses him) now where's my grub?
JR – right here! (He walks up holding a tray that has two sandwiches and 2 soups) don't blow your top…
Babe- that's not the only blowing I'll be doing…(winks)
JR (smiles) you're a little vixen aren't you?
Babe – oh yeah! Do you disapprove?
JR – not at all...
Babe – good! (They eat)
Wednesday June 11 2003
11:25 am, At Airport
Krystal walks off the plane, Babe & JR are standing there having a conversation
JR – Airports make great Kodak moments…
Babe – honestly…families and friends reuniting after being away
JR – so how long has it been since you've seen your mom?
Babe – since August 11 2002…I can't wait to see her
Krystal walks into view; she looks for Babe she spots her in the corner talking to JR and agrees he is hot! She walks towards them, Babe turns and sees her…she grabs JR's arm then lets his arm go, she runs to her mom.
Babe – momma!
Krystal – oh baby doll, (Krystal gives her a big hug and holds on to her) I missed you
Babe – I missed you too…
JR stands next to the two woman, who are still embracing
Krystal (pulls away) you must be JR
JR – and you must be Krystal (he sticks out his hand)
Krystal (shakes her head, and pulls him in to a hug) handshakes are too formal…
JR (they pull away) I agree
Krystal – It's good to finally meet you!
JR – yes it is…
Krystal – come on baby, let's get out of here and go to Bea's
Babe – okay, I got a rental car
Krystal – nice…So JR tell me about yourself (and they walk towards the exit)
JR – well…
Bea's Diner
Krystal sits across Babe & JR
JR – I recently started working on a cargo ship, and I docked here and I was walking one night and I met Babe, it was love at first sight…
Krystal – very interesting…
Babe – we have plans of getting married!
Krystal – oh really, when is the big day?
JR – well I was kind of hoping to propose to her first, then we could set the day but I don't want a huge wedding and I'll get that if we go to Pine Valley
Babe – how big?
JR – probably 200 people...or more!
Babe – yeah…no! I don't want that many people at my wedding
JR – exactly!
Babe – so tell me again when are you proposing too me?
JR – soon enough, darling!
Babe – but cheese puff…there has to be a specific date that you plan on sticking a beautiful princess diamond on platinum band, on my little ol' fingers!
JR – sure…I got to go, I'll see you in an hour…here or your apartment
Babe – the apartment
JR Kisses Babe
Krystal – where are you off to in such a rush?
JR – well I forgot I needed to return a book to the library… I am taking the car!
JR leaves and is out of sight
Krystal – he's going to buy you the ring!
Babe – I know he needed to know what I liked, plus he didn't seem too surprised when I said that…I bet he had an idea of what I liked
Krystal – he is for real, please don't loose him it would be a shame he looks like he really loves you…not to mention you look really happy and I haven't seen you this happy in a long time
Babe – I know I wont, and he makes me happy, I really love him
Krystal – am I aloud to crash at the apartment?
Babe – yup, and your coming to Pine Valley with us also
Krystal – I was planning on following you anyways…so, what are you going to say when you see your daddy?
Babe – I don't know…maybe Hi
Krystal – let me talk to him first, and then you can talk to him
Babe – fine, but what's his name?
Krystal – David, David Hayward!
Babe - really? (Looks shocked)
Krystal (looks confused) yes, do you know him?
Babe – JR and David have quite a past
Krystal – I heard something about that when I was with your daddy in San Antonio, but update me what else has "gone down" between them…
Babe – his mother cheated on his step dad with David…did you know that?
Krystal – David is always the person who breaks up people…
Babe - Not to mention JR broke into David's Pine Valley Room, and his stepfather has a personal vendetta against him because of his mother and their affair, and JR assaulted David.
Krystal – that boy has a beautiful past…
Babe – Momma, everyone learns from there mistakes, you did…and I did, he changed …he left Pine Valley so he can start over
Krystal – your right…we have all left the shadow of our pasts behind
Babe – out of the people in Pine Valley, my father and fiancé hate each other…how does that make sense!
Krystal – listen to me…He loves you and he'll be okay with it, we just have to get your daddy to be okay with it!
1 Hour At The Apartment
JR walks in; Babe and Krystal are sitting on the couch looking at him
Krystal – did you return the library book in time?
JR – what…oh yeah…it's returned
Babe looks at her mom and smiles
JR – what are you watching?
Babe – Pretty In Pink, it's almost finished…but were watching Breakfast Club next
JR – do you guys want popcorn…chips…drinks?
Babe – chips and a drink
Krystal – I'll have the same…do you want some help? (She is about to stand up)
JR – nope it's handled, sit…relax, and I'll get it!
JR walks into the kitchen, and looks at Babe & Krystal whispering, he walks to them with a big bowl of chips and three soda's
Babe – thanks honey…
JR – no problem
Krystal – thanks darling…
JR – your welcome
They sit and watch movies, all afternoon till decided they want to go and eat dinner
Krystal, JR, and Babe stand up
Babe – I'll be back
Krystal – okay kiddo…spill!
JR – what?
Krystal – you lied about were you went...I know you bought her a ring
JR – yeah, but I am not proposing to her yet…but I did want to ask for your permission!
Krystal – well, first...(in her best motherly voice) what are your intentions with my daughter?
JR – to love her always and forever, to respect her, and to be a loving husband and treat her like she is the world, Krystal I hope you see that what I feel for your daughter is real…and I am extremely happy that I met her.
Krystal (has a tears coming down her cheek) I do and I can't wait for you to be my son in law, welcome to the family Junior…(she puts her hand on his shoulder)
JR – you know about my family don't you?
Krystal – of course I do, I was with David for 3 weeks…and he talked about your family all the time, he called you Junior…so I heard you assaulted David!
JR – It was in 2001, and I was screwed up back then I needed to leave Pine Valley so I could start fresh and not be a addicted to drugs or alcohol, but I've been clean since June 1 2001
Krystal – we all have done things in the past that we aren't proud of, but when we finally learn that we should never do them again it makes a difference.
JR – yes, it does and it makes you a better person…
Krystal – so how are you proposing to my beautiful baby doll?
JR – take her to the place she really wants to go to, and while were standing there enjoying the views I hold her and kiss her and whisper in her ear "Will You Marry Me"
Krystal – that is so romantic, I wish I could get proposed to like that?
JR – you will…everyone is meant to find that one person they belong with
Krystal – I agree…
JR – speaking of marriage, and true love…if you don't mind my asking! Do I have a father in law?
Krystal – no…but I am looking for the kind of love, you and Babe have found in each other!
JR – my great Aunt Phoebe, had a motto "Never Surrender, never retreat" when it comes to what you truly want out of life, you win if you follow that motto…
Krystal – thank-you, I'll try to remember that (Krystal hugs him, and Babe walks into view)
Babe – okay, I want to join in…
Krystal lifts one arm, and Babe comes and joins in to the hug
Babe – you all smell really nice…
They pull away
Krystal – so do you baby cakes, you to Junior
JR – thanks…were all smelling good!
Babe – yes we are…and may I add were all looking good!
JR – I am going to go get my wallet and cell
JR leaves the room and walks in to there room
Babe – how did you know about people calling him Junior?
Krystal – I heard about his family from your daddy
Babe – ah…does that mean your keeping in contact with him?
Krystal – no, it was around the time you were conceived
He walks in to view
JR – you all ready to go?
Krystal – you're starting to talk red neck…
JR – you guys are rubbing off on me…
Babe – come on darling I am starved…(she grabs his hand and drags him along with her momma)
Bea's Diner
Babe – I need to tell you something JR…
JR (looks at Babe) okay
Babe – I found out who my dad is!
JR (smiles) if I am not correct…its David Hayward
Babe – ah! So you know…but how?
JR – your mom said she knew about my family, and David is the only one who calls me Junior, and I put it together
Babe – I know you have a past with him, but I would like it if my dad and me could have a relationship, it would be even better if my husband and father can try to be civil to each other
JR – I'll try if he try's...
Babe – that's all I ask, thanks Baby…I love you!
JR - I love you too babe…you know I mean babe, not your name Babe…
Babe – I know…
JR – okay good! Oh yeah Krystal… I realize it's up to you who you love but if it's David, he isn't involved with anyone
Krystal – um…I am not too sure if David is my "cup of tea" but thank-you
JR – understandable…he's a hard guy to like… that means he got to be hard to love!
Babe (smiles) very funny…you have quite the sense of humor!
Krystal – if you knew your daddy…you'd be agreeing with Junior, cause it's true!
Babe – really!
Krystal – yeah!
Babe – oh well in that case, your pretty awesome for caring that my mother ends up finding love!
JR – thanks, the way I see it, it's only fair! Krystal deserves to be happy! So if it isn't David that you have your eye on…who is it?
Krystal – at the moment no one!
Babe – don't worry Momma in Pine Valley there has to be a few decent guys who are single...
JR – will find you one!
Krystal – I can't wait (being sarcastic)
Babe – nice…sarcasm!
JR – what's up with that?
Krystal – two 20 year olds are trying to find my soul mate? Where is the justice in that?
Babe – well we maybe only 20 but we already found our soul mate in each other, so honestly what do you have to loose?
JR – exactly…
Krystal – fine!
JR – great! This is going to be fun…(sarcasm)
Krystal – hey…I invented Sarcasm, you are not allowed to be sarcastic!
JR – oh please…I come from a family of Sarcastic people, my father is older then you which means…he invented Sarcasm!
Krystal – phooey…
JR – (laughs) I am going to love being part of this family! You guys are a barrel of laughs...your also kind of fun!
Babe (laughs) you're too cute!
JR – I'd prefer Sexy…but I'll take cute
Babe (smiles) so what is everyone going to order?
