Scene 6
May 2014- Settting- Third year wedding anniversary.
CJ is 16 months old
Charlotte is eight months pregnant with baby number 2.
At the park.
Cooper pushes CJ on the toddler swing at the park while Charlotte is watching.
"I need to sit down on the bench a for a little bit Cooper. My ankes are getting all swollen standing here." Charlotte tells Cooper.
"OK. CJ has been in the swing long enough. We'll come sit with you." Cooper tells her.
"It feels so good to sit." Charlotte relaxes.
Cooper rubs her leg. "Only one more month of this Char until you pop her out and get your body back." Cooper holds CJ on his lap and feed him goldfish crackers.
"One month can't come soon enough." Charlotte eats some goldfish crackers.
"Look! There's Violet and Lucas." Cooper calls them over.
"Hi guys!" Violet says. "You look tired Charlotte."
"I am." Charlotte answers.
"Not too much longer to go now." Violet says looking at Charlotte's huge round belly. "Have you picked out a name?" asks Violet.
"Yes." Cooper replies. "Her name is Charlotte Elizabeth the second but we are going to call her Ella." Cooper says to Violet.
"That's pretty. Is Ella short for Elizabeth?" Asks Violet.
"Yes. Charlotte says. "Since we named CJ after Cooper we're naming this one after me. We're calling her Ella because it would be too confusing if we called her Charlotte." Charlotte tells Violet.
"I never knew your middle name is Elizabeth." Violet tells.
"Why would you?" Charlotte giggles. "I don't know your middle name either." Charlotte tells Violet.
"Her middle name is Rose. Violet Rose." Cooper tells Charlotte.
"Your mother must have been a florist." Charlotte jokes.
"No. She just loves flowers and flower names." Violet answers.
"Lucas is running down the hill." Cooper tells her.
"I better go after him. You two take care." Violet chases after Lucas.
"Violet likes the name we chose." Charlotte smiles at Cooper and hands more goldfish to CJ.
"Good thing your middle name is Elizabeth so we could shorten it to Ella and not something like Wilma." Cooper grins.
Charlotte laughs. "Then we would have to call her Willie."
Cooper grabs some Goldfish. "I can't wait to meet Ella."
"I keep wondering who she's going to look like." Charlotte dreams.
"I hope she looks just like her momma." Cooper says.
"You're sweet but I hope she looks just ike her daddy."
"I hope not." Cooper chuckles. "Poor thing will have a hairy chest then."
Charlotte laughs. "So are we done? We have a boy and soon a girl. Are we closing up shop after she's born?" Charlotte asks.
"Do we have to decide right now?" Cooper asks. "Can we wait a little longer and see how it goes before we close up the shop."
"We can wait." Charlotte smiles.
"Swing swing. I want swing." CJ points.
"Ok rest." Cooper tells Charlotte. "I'm going to push CJ on the swing for a little while.
Charlotte watches him and thinks maybe she'll have just one more after Ella.
