"Lullaby"

Scene 1: The Mason's House. Morning

Spinner is in the kitchen going through the mail with a look of frustration. Emma slowly walks into the kitchen and notices that Spinner is not in a pleasant mood. She approaches him and tries to cheer him up by wrapping her arms around him.

Emma (worryingly): Do you want to talk about it Spin?

Spinner (irately): Talking about it will not fix that we're broke Emma! We are behind in our bills and now that Jack is living here and you're pregnant not making it any better.

Emma steps back with disappointment. Spinner turns around realizing what he had said to his wife.

Spinner (apologetically): I am so sorry Em. I didn't mean for that to come out like that. I just have a lot on my plate.

Emma: Spinner I did not ask to be six months pregnant. You're not the only one with a lot on their plate. I work just like you do Spin.

Jack comes into the kitchen as Emma quickly brush pass him. Spinner takes a deep breath and walks out the kitchen leaving Jack confused.

Jack: What is wrong with everybody?

He grabs a banana from the fruit bowl on the counter and proceeds to leave out the front door.

OPENING CREDITS

Scene 2: Hallways (Lockers). Morning

Caleb is escorting Chloe to her locker. She is talking about something but he is not paying attention to her.

Chloe: Are you listening to me? I have a real problem here and I would like if my boyfriend could pay attention.

Caleb (frustrated): I'm tired of paying attention Clo! It's always about you and what you want but you never ask about me or care to even consider me in anything.

Chloe (confused): Where is this coming from Caleb? We've been dating for a while now and you never mentioned this before.

Caleb: Because you don't listen. How can I?

Caleb shakes his head feeling frustrated and walks away from her leaving her puzzled. She watches as he walks down the halls.

Scene 3: The Gym. Afternoon

The Power Squad is practicing one of their routines. Chloe stands in front of them observing and making sure everything is perfect. She notices Taylor walking into the gym with her band. She dismisses the girls to take a break. She walks towards the stage and pulls out a bottle of water from her bag. Taylor approaches her.

Chloe: Don't worry. I know its your scheduled time for the gym. We'll be out in a few moments.

Taylor: What's wrong with the Ice Queen? No snappy banter today? I actually come to expect it by now.

Chloe: Like I said we will be gone in a few minutes. The gym is all yours.

Chloe grabs her bag and begins to proceed to walk towards the gym doors. Taylor sprints behind and catches up to her.

Taylor: I heard about the argument with the Mister, but I don't think you should let that put you down. You're Chloe Armstrong the resident ice queen of Degrassi.

Chloe (smiling): Why are you being nice too me? I thought you hated me.

Taylor: You kind of grew on me.

Taylor smiles and begins to walk backwards before turning around and returning to her band. Chloe smiles and walks out the gym.

Jack walks into the Dot. He scans around the area and notices Spinner at the counter. He walks over towards him and takes a seat. Spinner notices Jack waiting for him.

Spinner (wiping the counter): What's up bud?

Jack: I know you and Emma haven't been getting along lately and I feel like it's my fault.

Spinner: Jack you shouldn't feel that way man. Marriage is not perfect. You might not understand that right now, but in the future, you will. Your sister and I just have to work through a few problems that's all.

Jack: But ever since I been there you two have been struggling and it's all my fault.

Spinner: Listen to me Jack. We are happy that you're staying with us. And don't worry about us. One thing I know is Emma and I will make it work. How about something to eat?

Jack nods his head and smiles. Spinner walks over to the grill behind him and begins preparing something.

Chloe walks through the woods looking around trying to find somebody. She notices Caleb with a group of guys drinking beers. She becomes uncomfortable, as she gets closer. Caleb notices this and leaves his friends. He grabs her by the arms and begins to pull her towards the exit.

Caleb (angry): What are you doing here? Do you know what these people would do to a girl like you?

Chloe: I don't like when we fight Cal. I know that I'm spoiled and I don't appreciate you, but I love you.

Caleb calms down and releases Chloe's arm. They share a kiss.

Scene 6: Mason's Home. Day

Emma is lying on the bed with tissues in her hands as she wipes the tears from her eyes. Spinner slowly walks into the room with the feelings of guilt and shame. He takes a seat on the edge of the bed.

Spinner (softly): Emma, I am so sorry that I ran out. I guess I just got so overwhelm because we're about to be parents and I feel like I'm letting you down.

Emma turns around and re-positions herself to sit next to Spinner on the bed.

Emma: How could you ever think that you're letting me down Spinner. You're my husband and through better or worst we will get through this together.

Spinner (jumping onto his feet): Exactly Emma! I am your husband. I should be able to provide you with everything that you need. You shouldn't have to work while you're pregnant. We shouldn't be struggling to pay bills.

Emma: I told you years ago when I gamble, I only bet on a sure thing. My love for you is a sure thing and I will bet on that from now until we die. (Spinner laughs)

Spinner: I love you Emma Nelson- Mason.

Emma (laughing with a mixture of crying): I love you too

They kiss each other. Emma steps back feeling the back kick. She grabs Spinner hands and places it on her stomach. Spinner looks down and smiles after feeling the baby moving around.

Spinner: I can't wait too meet you little man.
