Chapter 2:Love
Nicole:Hey, isn't it a little too early for the girls to be in bed?
Drake:Probley.
Nicole:What are you thinking?
Drake:I don't know.
He leads her to the living room where there's a fire going in the fireplace.
Drake:I thought we could use some alone time. We've been so busy these past couple of months.
Nicole:That is so sweet.
Drake sits down by the fireplace.
Nicole joins him.
Drake:I love you.
Nicole:I love you too darling.
Drake:I'm sorry about this morning.
Nicole:I'm sorry I snapped at you.
Drake:Your pregnant, you have a right too.
Nicole:I might be pregnant, but that's still no excuse for being crabby lately.
Drake:It's all part of the process sweetheart, there's nothing you can do about it. At least you're not as crabby as Mindy was.
Nicole:I wouldn't say that to her.
Drake:My mouth is shut.
Nicole:Anyhow I'd never slam a door with your hand in the way.
Drake:Thanks.
Nicole:Your welcome.
Drake:So what are you doing tomorrow?
Nicole:You mean other then going to the doctor?
Drake:Yes.
Nicole:I was thinking of taking the girls shopping. Other then school do you have anything else planned for tomorrow?
Drake:No.
Nicole digs through his pockets.
Drake:What are you doing?
Nicole:Looking for your phone.
Nicole tickles him.
Drake laughs.
Nicole:Shh! Your wake the girls.
Drake:Sorry. Why are you looking for my phone?
Nicole:You'll see. Where is it?
Drake:I left it in the car.
Nicole gets up.
Drake:I'll get it. You just sit back down.
Nicole sits back down.
Drake goes out to the garage & gets his phone from his car.
Drake:Here.
Nicole:Thank you.
Drake sits back down.
Nicole gets into his voice mail.
Nicole:Your mom called. Cookout tomorrow night at their house. Your dad calling to tell you "If you don't call your Mother back, who's so very worried about you. He'll hunt you down & kill you." Megan called wanting to know if she can use the garage Saturday for her band practice. Josh called wanting to know if you want to do lunch?
Drake:When?
Nicole:Last Monday. Elizabeth called asking if you want to do something this weekend just the two of you? Mindy called She wanted to tell you I fainted today, Hi! She told me she wouldn't call you! Josh again, Josh, Josh, Josh, Josh, Josh, Josh. No wonder he called me today.
Drake:Why did he call you?
Nicole:Because he couldn't get through to you & he asked me to delete all your messages.
Drake:He did not call you.
Nicole:Are you calling my bluff?
Drake:Yes.
Nicole:I can prove it to you. Call him.
Drake:Fine. I'll call him.
Drake takes his cell phone, & dials Josh & Mindy's home number.
Mindy:Hello?
Drake:Hi Mindy. It's Drake. Is Josh there?
Mindy:Hi Drake. Just minute. I'll get him.
Drake:Thanks.
A minute later.
Josh:Hi Drake.
Drake:Hi Josh. I have a question.
Josh:Ok.
Drake:Did you ask Nicole to delete all my messages of my phone?
Josh:Yes I did, because you never listen to them, & it was better then Megan's idea.
Drake:What was Megan's idea?
Josh:She thought we should get you a pager & pager whenever we need you.
Drake:Thank you for not going with that. I don't think being paged during classes would set a good example for the kids.
Josh:How's Nicole?
Drake:She fainted when making dinner & tell Mindy thanks for calling.
Josh:I will.
Drake:Bye.
Josh:Do you want to do lunch tomorrow?
Drake:Sure, just no cafeteria food.
Josh:Deal. Bye.
They hang-up
Nicole:Well?
Drake:You were right.
Nicole:Could you say that again?
Drake:Don't push it.
Nicole pouts.
Drake kisses her.
Nicole kisses him.
Nicole:This go to bed.
Drake:Let me lock up first.
Nicole:Ok, I'll meet you in there.
