Chapter 7

It's been a long day for Charlotte and Cooper as they have been organizing the house around for Cooper's mom coming to stay. Its 9pm at night and Charlotte is sitting up in bed reading a book. Cooper is in the bathroom. We hear the bathroom sink water tap running and then it stops.

CHARLOTTE AND COOPER"S NEW HOUSE - BEDROOM

Cooper enters the bedroom and climbs in right next to Charlotte.

Cooper: So Char, what you reading?

Charlotte: Just a book I found on the bookshelf. It's one of the books that I remember momma reading to me as a kid.

Cooper: Called?

Charlotte: Little Woman

Cooper: Oh so it's a girly one then aye.

Charlotte nods her head in agreement. But she is so concentrated on reading the book she doesn't look at him. Cooper looks restless and decides to annoy Charlotte by talking to the babies.

Cooper rests his head on Charlotte's 4 and a half-month pregnant stomach and starts to talk to the babies.

Cooper: Hello babies. Daddy loves you so much. I'm going to play with you all the time and momma is going to get so jealous. But we love momma and we think she is going to be the best momma ever. Don't we?

As soon as Cooper finished those last words, the babies start to kick in agreement.

Charlotte jumps in surprise over them kicking, and turns to Cooper to give him a beaming smile.

Cooper sits up and looks at Charlotte.

Cooper: (excited) Did you feel that Char?

Charlotte: (smiles with happiness) I sure did.

Cooper: So we are all in agreement then. Char, you're going to be the best momma ever!

Charlotte: Don't make me wipe that grin of yours off.

Cooper: Or what?

Charlotte looks in his eyes with passion and desire. At that moment she wanted him so bad. 'Heck it's been 4 months since they had sex and he's been so patient', Charlotte thought to herself.

All of a sudden Charlotte pounces on Cooper's lips like a lion spotting its prey. Cooper looks stunned and pulls away for a second.

Charlotte: (upset) What Cooper? What's wrong?

Cooper: Char… (Charlotte cuts him off)

Charlotte: Don't you want me anymore? Am I too fat for you?

Cooper: No Char, You're hotter than ever. Of course I want this, I mean I love this, what we have and our dirty, dirty sex but Char do you really want this? (Pause) I mean are you sure you're ready to do it again?

Charlotte looks hurt, upset and feels embarrassed too.

Charlotte: All you had to do was say no Coop!

Charlotte throws her book on the ground lies down in bed and rolls away from Coop. Cooper places his hand on her shoulder and rubs it.

Cooper: Char, please don't do this. I want us to talk about it.

Charlotte: I have nothing to talk about.

Charlotte is softly crying and hoping Cooper doesn't hear her, but he does.

Cooper: Don't cry Char. I'm sorry okay. Please just roll back over so we can talk about it?

From the moment she got engaged to Cooper, she promised to herself that she would talk about whatever is on her mind and to tell him everything. That's why Charlotte gives in and decides to roll back over.

Charlotte: (mumbles) Fine!

Cooper stares into Charlotte's eyes and gets lost in them.

Charlotte: What do you want to talk about?

Cooper: Why do you want to? I mean why now Char?

Charlotte: You don't think I haven't wanted to Coop? I have wanted you since the last time we had sex 4months ago. I love our intimacy, because when we do it, it makes me feel so much closer to you and I feel safe in your arms. (Pauses)

Cooper: I love what we have together too, and I'm glad I make you feel safe. Life without you would be boring and it would make me want to kill myself.

Charlotte: Please Coop, I'm telling you now I'm ready now

Cooper: Are you sure?

Charlotte: Positive.

Cooper: Well I'll go slowly, and I'll be extra gentle with you.

Charlotte: (grins) Not too slow I hope.

Cooper: Come over here woman.

Charlotte pounces on him like she hasn't seen him years. Cooper looks at Charlotte with the biggest smile and she returns the smile back.

4 HOURS LATER

Charlotte: Wow!

Cooper: I know! That was so… (Charlotte cuts him off)

Charlotte: Good. I can't believe we lasted that long.

Cooper: (joking) I told you I was going to be gentle.

Charlotte: You were more than a gentleman to me.

Cooper: Well I couldn't resist the sexy French housemaid to come and clean my house.

Charlotte: Keep that thought for tomorrow night and maybe I will let her identical twin know how amazing you really are.

Cooper: okay you do that. (Pause) Okay you need your beauty sleep. (He kisses her passionately on the lips) Good Night Char, (kisses Charlotte's stomach) Good Night munchkins. Daddy loves you and Momma so much.

Charlotte: Night Coop.

THE NEXT DAY

CHARLOTTE AND COOPER"S NEW HOUSE - LOUNGE

Charlotte is home alone as Cooper is at work. She is sitting in the lounge reading her book.

Charlotte starts to rub her stomach and talks to the babies.

Charlotte: Don't tell daddy this okay. He doesn't know that we have our little chats. You two seem like you're having fun in there. I wish I could give you a big cuddle and kiss right now but in about 4months time I can.

A knock on the door interrupts Charlotte. Charlotte starts to waddle towards the front door. She unlocks it and opens the front door. When she opens the door her face shatters into a million pieces and starts to shake.

Charlotte: (scared) What? What? (Pause) What are you doing here Joe?

Joe: (aggressive) I've come to see you of course!

Charlotte tries to shut the door but Joe is too strong for her and forces it back open.

Charlotte: (scared and crying) What do you want from me? I don't have anything you would want.

Joe: You know what I want Charlotte, and I want it now!

Joe walks towards her with evil in his eyes. Charlotte is mortified and wishes to god that Cooper or Violet would come through the front door before something bad happens.

Joe walks to Charlotte and grabs her arm with one arm and by the shirt with the other arm.

Charlotte: (pleads) Please Joe don't do this, anything but this. I'm having twins and they are innocent human beings. Please don't hurt them. I don't care if you hurt me, but please don't hurt them.

All of a sudden Joe turns off the light so all that Charlotte could see was darkness.

A few seconds later we hear Charlotte scream and Joe saying…

Joe: Now we will see who's in control Char.
