Scene 9
November 2015: Married four and a half years
CJ (Cooper Junior) is almost three years old
Ella(Charlotte Elizabeth) Is one and a half years old.
Charlotte is seven months pregnant with baby # 3.
Setting: Charlotte and Cooper's house.
It's seven pm and Charlotte walks in the front door of her house after a long day at work.
"How are you feeling Char?" Cooper asks.
Charlotte sits down on the couch and puts her feet up on the magazine table. "My feet hurt. It's been a long day." She stretches out on the couch.
"I made the kids dinner. I saved you a plate if your hungry."
"What is it?" Charlotte asks.
"Macaroni and cheese."
"I'll have some. Can you bring it in here. I don't think I could get up again." She tells him from the couch.
Cooper brings her the plate of macaroni and cheese and some mild to drink.
"Thank you." She smiles.
"I'm going to give the kids a bath and put them to bed then we can watch tv or talk."
"That sounds nice." Charlotte tells him as she eats her macaroni.
Cooper starts the water and puts both kids in the same tub.
Five minutes later the phone rings. Charlotte answers it. She listens to the person on the other end and sighs. "Cooper! It was the ER. Your patient, the Brady boy with the bad asthma is in the ER."
Cooper yells back to her. "I have both kids in the tub. You're going to have to watch them."
Charlotte pulls her seven month pregnant belly up from the couch and waddles on swollen ankles to the bathroom.
"Sorry Char but I'm going to have to go see him in the ER." Cooper hand her the baby shampoo.
"Duty calls." Charlotte groans.
Cooper leaves for work.
"Hi momma." CJ tells her as she shampos his hair. "Are you tired momma?"
"Yes CJ. Momma's tired." She rinses his hair.
She finishes washing two kids hair and dries them off. She puts their pajama's on and reads them a story until they fall asleep. She's exhausted and thinks somethings got to give soon! What will it be?
