Scene 3
Setting: November 2012.
Charlotte and Cooper are Married one and a half years.
Seven months pregnant.
Takes place on the living room couch.
"Hey! That's not fair." Cooper complains.
"What?" Charlotte asks.
"Your piece of cheesescake is double the size of mine." Cooper says
Charlotte is amused. "I veto you. I'm eating for two."
Cooper steals a forkful of her cake.
"Hey! Your stealing food from your own child's mouth." Charlotte plays with him.
Cooper looks guilty and feeds her a forkful of his cheesecake.
"Better?" He asks
"Better." She smiles.
"I can't wait until little Cooper is here with us." Cooper says.
"I wonder who he'll look like?" Charlotte dreams.
"He's going to be one good looking baby if he looks like his momma." Cooper tells her.
"You're so cute when you're trying to butter me up." Charlotte smiles.
"I'm serious. You look great." Cooper tells her.
"I can feel him moving. He must like the cheesecake." Charlotte tells Cooper.
Cooper puts his hand on her basketball size belly. "I don't feel it."
"Just leave it there a few minutes. It come and goes." Charlotte tells him.
"Okay." Cooper obeys.
Cooper talks to the baby in a high pitched voice. "Hello in there little peanut. We can't wait to meet you little Cooper."
"I don't think we should call him little Cooper." Charlotte says.
"But we agreed he would be Cooper Junior a long time ago." Cooper tells her.
"I still like Cooper Junior but I want to call him C.J. instead of little Cooper. It makes him sound like his own person instead of a little you." Charlotte tells him.
"I like C.J." Cooper agrees.
"Good." Charlotte smiles.
"I feel him moving now." Cooper says.
"I told ya. You just have to wait a minute and he'll cooperate." Charlotte smiles.
Cooper rests his head on her basketball belly and waits for the baby to move again.
"Thank you." Charlotte says.
"For what?" Cooper asks.
"For loving me." Charlotte tells him.
"Always." He answers.
