Nina: Eddie! (hugs him) It's so nice to see you again!
Eddie: Yeah, it's nice to see you too! (looks at Cam) Who's this?
Cam: Mommy…(jumps into Nina arms and wraps herself around her and hides her head behind Nina's neck) That guy is staring at me…
Eddie: M-mommy?
Nina: No, you don't understand…how about we have a cup of tea then I'll explain everything?
Eddie: Sure, no prob.
(Nina and Eddie sit down on the couch, enjoying a nice cup of tea while Cam continues to watch the movie)
WITH FABIAN AND THE OTHERS
(The others notice Fabian is lonely)
Amber: (whispers) Hey guys…don't you think Fabian's kinda…lonely?
(They all look at him and see him away from the others, looking at the shops)
Patricia: I feel bad for him
Alfie: Yeah, he's lost without Nina
Jerome: I don't think we should've invited him to watch a movie with us
Amber: I'll go talk to him (walks over to Fabian) Hey…
Fabian: (perks up) Huh? Yeah?
Amber: You okay?
Fabian: Yeah sure…of course…why wouldn't I be?
Amber You just look like you're kinda lonely. Out of place. Everything alright?
Fabian: Yeah…sure! It's just…I don't know what to get for Nina and my si-daughter…?
Amber: Oh…um, there's a toy store upstairs…you can go there if you want then we'll just meet you at uh… Cinnabon?
Fabian: Yup, sure. (leaves)
(Amber goes back to the others and they all go to "Cinnabon")
WITH NINA, EDDIE, AND CAM
Eddie: Wow. Camille's life will be at steak?
Nina: No! (laughs) At stake! S-T-A-K-E!
Eddie: Oh, sorry…that's really sad
Nina: Yup
Eddie: So uh, where's your "husband"?
Nina: Oh Fabian He went with the others to the mall so they can watch a movie
Eddie: Why didn't you come?
Nina: (shrugs) I don't know…lazy I guess?
Eddie: Haha, so you're alone with Camille? That's sad…
Nina: Why?
Eddie: He left you alone…
Nina: That's okay…
Eddie: Uh, is it okay if I stay here with you and Camille until Fabian comes home? I mean, I don't wanna leave you two alone late at night…
Nina: Sure! Let me introduce you to Camille, so she'll get used to you
Eddie: Okay!
(They go to the living room and see Camille eating with the T.V. off)
Nina: Hey Camille, this is Eddie. He's one of my friends. He's the one who caught you before you fell to the ground in the airport when you were asleep…say hi
Cam: (shyly goes over to Eddie) H-hi…(smiles)
Eddie: Hi! I never knew you were so cute! (pinches her cheek)
Cam: (runs and hides behind Nina and giggles)
Nina: (laughs) She likes you…well, I'm gonna go and cook some dinner…
Cam: Can we come?
Nina: Sure…
(All three of them enter the kitchen. Nina starts cooking, while Eddie stands beside her and helps her while Cam sits on the counter, watching them)
Cam: Mommy, what do I call Eddie?
Eddie: Uh, you can just call me Eddie
Nina: No, you're part of the "family"! (turns to Cam) Call him grandpa
Cam: (giggles) Grandpa Eddie! (giggles again)
Nina: (bursts out laughing) Hahahahaha!
Eddie: If you guys call me that one more time, I swear I'll-
Nina and Cam: GRANDPA EDDIE! (bursts out laughing then runs away)
Eddie: That's it! (starts to chase them)
Nina: (screams) Ahhh! Run! Run for your life!
Cam: (squeals) Hahahaha!
Eddie: (catches Camille) Gotcha!
Cam: (squeals louder then laughs) run mommy! RUN!
(Nina runs and runs then hides)
(Cam is sitting on Eddie's shoulders and they both try to find Nina)
Eddie: Nina…Nina…where are you? Come out come out wherever you are…
Cam: Where are you mommy?
(They hear a small giggle from the closet)
Eddie: (opens the closet and grabs Nina) AHA!
(Cam jumps off Eddie's shoulders then hugs his leg)
(Eddie carries Nina and puts her on his shoulders-like a little kid riding on his dad's shoulders at the mall-then he carries her to the living room while Cam hugs his leg)
Nina: Put me down! PUT ME DOWN!
Eddie: No! Say you're sorry!
Nina: NEVER!
Eddie: I'm waiting!
Nina: Alright! I'm SORRY! THERE! Now let me go!
Eddie: What's the magic word?
Nina: NOW!
Cam: Let go of my mommy!
Eddie: Alright, you asked for it! (throws Nina on the couch playfully)
Nina: (screams) Ah!
(Eddie is on top of Nina while she's facing him, down the couch, wrestling and they are both breathing heavily, 'cause they're tired)
(Then Nina and Eddie look at each other in the eyes)
Cam: (sees smoke from the kitchen and sees the dinner is still cooking. Then she touches the pot, jerks her hand away from the extreme heat. There is a big long line of redness on her hand then she starts to cry)
(Nina and Eddie look away from each other's eyes then Nina runs to Camille)
Nina: What's wrong?
(Cam continues crying)
Eddie: Look at the palm of her hand!
(They see a long red line)
Eddie: She burned herself
Nina: Oh no! I left the pot still cooking! (holds Camille's burned hand) Does it hurt?
Cam: (nods) I-it's ouchy….
Eddie: (gets a small face towel and wets it then hands it to Nina) Here, use this to cool it off
(Nina tries to sits Cam on the counter)
Eddie: Oh, I got it…(gets the towel) You just put away the pot for now and I'll take care of her
Nina: Ok, thanks (puts the pot away) Hey, can you watch her while I got out and get a first-aid kit?
Eddie: Sure, that's cool
Nina: Thanks Eddie! (hugs him then kisses Cam on her forehead) Be a good girl okay? Mommy's just gonna head out to buy a first-aid kit for you…listen to Eddie okay? I'll be back. Be brave.
Cam: (hugs her tightly) I love you mommy. Be safe!
(Nina leaves)
Eddie: (dabs Camille's hand with the wet towel) Are you okay?
Cam: (crying softly) M-mh-mm…
Eddie: Don't worry, everything will be okay…Do you need anything?
Cam: (nods)
Eddie: What?
Cam: My mommy and daddy….
Eddie: Don't worry, your mommy's gonna get something and your daddy will be here in 5 more hours…(get a glass of water for Cam) Here, drink this. You'll feel much better
(Cam drinks the water)
Eddie: Feel better?
Cam: (sadly nods)
Eddie: Stop crying…it'll go away
Cam: I-it hu-rts…
Eddie: (wraps the wet towel tightly but gently around her hand) There…what do you wanna do while your mommy's not here?
Cam: (Yawns)
Eddie: Oh! You're sleepy…(holds out his arms to carry Cam)
Camille: (goes to his arms, wraps her legs around his waist, her arms around his neck, and she rests her head on his shoulder, then closes her eyes halfway)
(Eddie carries Camille, shakes around gently, sways to the side, moves around a bit, making Cam fall asleep while humming a tune)
Cam: Eddie?
Eddie: Yeah Cam?
Cam: (faces him) You're the best uncle…thanks for taking care of my mommy…you're like my daddy…(kisses him on the cheek then rests her head on his shoulder)
(Eddie gets touched with her words and continues to move around and hum a tune. Then he suddenly falls asleep with Cam in his arms on the couch)
(Nina comes home and sees them sleeping)
Nina: Aw…
(She wakes up Eddie)
Eddie: (wakes up) Huh? Oh, Nina, you're home…
Nina: Sorry if I took too long…
Eddie: No, it's okay…
Nina: I got the first-aid kit
(They put some medicine and alcohol on her wound and then they wrap gauze around her hand)
Nina: Thanks, Eddie…for everything
Eddie: No prob. I would've have a good friend, if I never met you…(smiles)
Nina: Aw, thanks. You know, you really look familiar!
Eddie: Yeah, I know you won't remember but, we used to be childhood friends
Nina: Huh! (tries to remember) Oh! You were the one who saved me from that bully!
Eddie: Haha, yeah
Nina: I can't believe you still remember me
Eddie: Why wouldn't I? You were the one who saved me from going to that princess make-up party
Nina: Haha, yeah! (starts to get sleepy)
(Nina lays down with her head on Eddie's lap-she didn't know she did it-and Camille is sleeping upstairs in the room she slept in last time then Eddie falls asleep)
AT 12 O' CLOCK
(Fabian rings the door)
Eddie: (wakes up and gets the door) F-Fabian?
Fabian: What are you doing in my house!
Eddie: Nothing! I'm just a friend of Nina-
Fabian: Nina! Where is she?
Eddie: She's sleeping on the couch-
(Fabian barges in and goes to the couch and wakes up Nina)
Fabian: Nina! Wake up! Are you okay?
Nina: (wakes up) Fabian!
Fabian: Oh good you're okay!
Nina: (stands up) Why wouldn't I be?
Fabian: How could you let a stranger in our house?
Nina: He's no stranger! He's the one who caught your sister in the airport and he's my childhood friend!
Fabian: And so you slept on his lap?
Nina: I didn't know I ended up on his lap!
Fabian: Oh right sure…
Nina: Well, what about you? You said you would be home at 8 o' clock sharp! And it's 12 o' clock at night!
Fabian: I was busy!
Nina: Well, why didn't you call or text me that you'd be home late?
Fabian: I told you, I was busy!
Nina: I don't care!
Eddie: Hey guys, I could leave now…you know…Nina, it's really okay if I can't stay here…
Nina: No no! You can stay here as long as you need to
Fabian: Woah wait! He's staying here with us! And you let him!
Nina: He wanted to stay with me and Camille for the night cause I was alone with her and unsafe! Is that a problem?
Fabian: Yes!
Eddie: Hey guys, Camille's asleep and you'll wake her up
Fabian: Shut up! I'm not talking to you!
Nina: Don't talk to him like that!
Fabian: Why? Because you love him?
Nina: (gasps) You think I'm cheating on you, don't you! How dare you think that!
Fabian: It's pretty obvious that you like him!
Nina: I don't! He's practically like my big brother!
Fabian: I DON'T CARE! WHATEVER HE IS, HE'S STILL NOT ALLOWED IN THIS HOUSE!
Nina: WHY NOT! IT'S MY HOUSE TOO! I CAN ALLOW HIM IN THIS HOUSE!
Fabian: NOT WITHOUT MY PERMISSION!
Nina: STOP BEING SUCH A JERK!
Fabian: STOP DEFENDING EDDIE!
Nina: YOU PROMISED ME YOU'D BE A NEW MAN! AND THAT YOU'LL NEVER HURT OR SHOUT AT ME!
Fabian: YOU'RE LYING! I DIDN'T!
Eddie Guys, please, don't fight…Camille's sleeping
Fabian: Stay out of this!
(Eddie backs away)
Nina: WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO ME AGAIN! (starts crying) W-why! (Buries her face in her hands, and falls down to her knees crying) What did I ever do to you…
(Eddie rushes to Nina)
Eddie: Hey, it's okay…don't cry…hey, (starts chuckling) this is just like the time you were crying 'cause of the bully…
Nina: (glares at him)
Eddie: I should shut up…
(Nina goes back to crying)
(Cam comes down, with a sleepy and tired face)
Cam: I heard shouting again…why is mommy crying?
Fabian: Nothing, just go back to bed
(Camille goes over to Nina)
Cam: Mommy, are you okay?
Nina: (wipes her tears and faces Cam) Y-yeah…go back to bed. Everything's okay
Cam: But mommy…
Fabian: Did you hear what I said? I said GO BACK TO BED!
Nina: Camille, go to bed before daddy gets madder
Cam: I don't want to sleep anymore
Fabian: GO BACK TO BED NOW!
Cam: No!
(Fabian slaps her across the face)
Nina: Fabian!
(Camille is on the floor, unconscious while Nina carries her and she and Eddie try to wake her up)
Eddie: Dude! How could you do that to her? She's only six! Why?
Fabian: W-what am I doing!
Nina: That's it! This is the third time you've done it!
Fabian: Nina! I-I'm sorry! I wasn't thinking!
(The others come in)
Amber: Woah.
Patricia: What just happened?
Jerome: What'd we miss?
Alfie: What's going on here?
(Nina storms upstairs with Camille)
(Fabian goes out somewhere)
Amber: Eddie? What are you doing here?
Eddie: I came to visit Nina but then…they started fighting
Alfie: Why?
(Eddie explains the whole thing)
Jerome: Wow. I told you guys we should've have not asked Fabian to come along!
Amber: I'm gonna go and check on Nina, since I'm her best friend
Patricia: I'm going too!
(They leave)
(Jerome, Alfie, and Eddie just try to solve everything)
WITH NINA
(Amber and Patricia walk in and they see Nina, packing and Camille is unconscious on the bed next to Nina)
Patricia: Hey…
Amber: Are you okay?
Patricia: We heard about you and Fabian
Nina: I'm going to stay away from here
Amber: What do you mean?
Nina: I mean, away from you guys, Fabian and this state
Amber: You mean you're going to go out of the country?
Patricia: What? You can't! Not by yourself
Nina: Don't worry, I can manage by myself
Amber: Bring Camille with you
Nina: I am
Patricia: Okay…just be careful out there Nina…you know Fabian won't be there to protect you
Nina: That's okay
Amber: When will you leave?
Nina: As soon as Camille wakes up and gets better
(They chat and chat while Nina continues packing then they go down)
WITH THE BOYS
(They see the girls come down with many bags and suitcases with Nina holding Camille and carry a medium bag with a suitcase)
Alfie: Woah woah! Are you guys leaving us?
Jerome: (gets down on his knees) I'm so sorry Patricia, for everything! I swear I didn't do anything! Please! Please don't leave me…
Patricia: Calm down slime ball! We're not leaving…Nina is. We're just carrying her bags and suitcases for her!
(Jerome gets back up)
Jerome: Oh. Never mind then.
Eddie: Nina, are you sure about this? I mean, you'll be alone…in a place so far away from your friends
Nina: Hopefully I'll see someone that could help me
Eddie: I'll come with you
Alfie: Yeah! Eddie can go with you, since he's your childhood friend
Patricia: Now I think I know why we can't come with Nina
Jerome: Why?
Patricia: Cause Fabian will track us, which will lead him to Nina
Amber: But we'll visit once in a while
Eddie: I'm gonna go to my house and pack (leaves)
(Nina is falling asleep on the dining table, and Cam is on the couch, still unconscious)
Alfie: (whispers) Hey guys, Nina is falling asleep
Jerome: Should we wake her up?
Amber: I don't know…she'll be embarrassed if we interrupt her when she's falling asleep
Patricia: Too late. She's fully asleep
Jerome: I'll just carry her
Alfie: Not yet. Just wait for a few more minutes when she's deeper in her sleep
(The others decided to chat about Fabian until Nina is fully asleep)
Amber: Nobody tells Fabian that Nina is gone or wherever she went. Okay? And don't make it obvious!
Patricia: Just ignore him and just be quiet. When he enters the room, just stop talking
Jerome: Okay. But what if he finds another girl?
Alfie: Who cares? We'll just text Nina, you know, tell her everything that's happening…
Amber: Good idea Alfie! But keep your cell phones with you, so Fabian won't read the messages
Jerome: Great. But where is Nina staying?
Patricia: She's staying in America, not with her Gran 'cause her Gran is on a business retreat. So she's staying with Eddie, so he can take care of Nina and Cam
Alfie: Oh, so she's taking Camille?
Jerome: But she can't. That's Fabian's sister! Camille isn't a relative of Nina, so she can't take her
Amber: Nina said Camille is safer with her, 'cause if she's with Fabian, he'll hurt Camille
Alfie: Hey guys, I think it's time to let Jerome carry Nina
(Jerome carries Nina, lays her on the couch, Amber puts a pillow behind Nina, and puts the covers on her, and they do the same to Camille)
Cam: (wakes up groggily) W-what happened?
Amber: (whipers) Let's be gentle…hey Camille, you feeling okay now?
Cam: I-I think…
Patricia: Are you in pain?
Cam: My ankle is sore…and cheek stings and hurts and I have a big headache…
Jerome: Don't worry…Alfie will get you some ice and a wet face towel (looks at Alfie)
Alfie: What? Oh! Right…yeah, be right back! (leaves)
Amber: Can you remember anything?
Cam: Um…I-I remember hearing shouting…then Fabian was shouting at me then mommy was crying…then I…I…I don't remember anything after that
Patricia: Well, don't freak out but, Fabian slapped you then you were unconscious
Cam: (tears start falling) N-now I remember…
Jerome: Yo, don't cry. You and your mommy will be far away from us. You guys will move to America with Eddie…
Cam: Why?
(They explain everything)
Cam: Oh…
Alfie: Okay, I got the ice and towel
(Amber uses the wet towel to dab Camille's forehead, Patricia uses the ice to cool Camille's cheek, Jerome and Alfie use the other ice for her ankle)
Cam: So where's Nina now? (falling asleep)
Amber: She's sleeping on the couch
(Eddie comes in with some bags and suitcases)
Eddie: I'm here!
Everyone except Cam: Shhh!
Eddie: (lowers his voice) Sorry…
Alfie: You'll wake up Nina and Camille!
(Eddie sits next to Camille and bends down to kiss her forehead)
Eddie: Hey sleepyhead…
Cam: (fully awake) Eddie! (hugs him)
Eddie: Okay okay…are you okay?
Jerome: She doesn't look okay
Eddie: (checks her ankle) Your ankle isn't broken, it's just sore
Cam: It's feeling much better now…thanks Jerome and Alfie
(Jerome and Alfie stop putting ice on her ankle)
Jerome and Alfie: No prob.
Eddie: And your cheek is red, but it'll go away in a few…
Cam: But I have a headache and it hurts (a tear rolls down her cheek) Make it go away…
Amber: I don't know any cure for a headache
Patricia: Just stay relaxed and don't worry about anything
Jerome: Or maybe you need a nap
Alfie: Yeah, take a nap, and you'll feel better
Eddie: Want me to take you to sleep?
Cam: (holds out her arms) Mhm…
Eddie: (carries her and tries to make her sleep) Wait, I need a cup of milk, so she can sleep
Jerome: I got it! Wait, what cup do I use?
Alfie: A kiddie cup…you know, like a tippy cup
Jerome: Oh, okay (leaves)
Amber: Why does Camille need to drink milk to fall asleep?
Patricia: You know, milk makes babies sleep right?
Amber: Oh…and what's a tippy cup?
Alfie: It's the cup toddlers or little kids use after bottles. They need to use tippy cups, not bottles if they're like, maybe 2 and up?
Amber: Oh, now I get it
(Jerome comes back with strawberry milk in a tippy cup)
Eddie: Thanks man…(holds Cam like a baby and holds the cup for her but she cries and doesn't drink)
Patricia: What did you do?
Jerome: Make her stop crying!
Alfie: What should we do?
Amber: I know! Wake up Nina!
(Amber shakes Nina)
Nina: (wakes up) What! I'm sleeping!
Amber: Camille's crying…we don't know what to do!
(Nina goes to Eddie)
Nina: Pass her to me
(Eddie passes Camille to Nina and the cup. Nina carries Camille like a baby and Cam holds the cup as she drinks and starts to fall asleep)
Eddie: Wow. She only drinks and falls asleep if Nina does it
Nina: (yawns)
Amber: Sorry for waking you…
Patricia: If EDDIE didn't make Camille cry, then you wouldn't be awake
Eddie: Wha-what! It's not my fault!
Alfie: Is too!
Jerome: You made her cry
Nina: Guys, guys it's okay…look, she's falling asleep
(Cam drinks the last sip, passes the cup to Nina, and she falls asleep)
Amber: Nina, where will you stay in America?
Nina: Um, maybe at a hotel then I'll find a house then me, Cam and Eddie can settle in
(Nina hears a voice)
"Don't worry Nina…we have provided a home for you in America…92592, Temecula California…good luck with your trip…"
Amber: Hello? Did you hear what I said?
Nina: What? Oh, we'll be staying at Temecula, California 92592 instead
Alfie: Oh, ok be careful
Eddie: Nina, I think we should leave now
Nina: Wait! We still have to pack Camille's milk, tippy cups, her juice, whatever…
Eddie: Okay, I'll pack it then you just get the blankets and pillows and snacks… (leaves)
Jerome: Why do you have to bring blankets, pillows and snacks?
Nina: Cause, we're not gonna use an airplane, we're gonna drive to America
Alfie: Why?
Nina: So Camille won't have fever again
Patricia: What car?
Nina: Eddie has a RV, not the old kind though, and it's big enough for the three of us
(Eddie comes back with a bag full of tippy cups, strawberry milk, etc.)
Eddie: Ok, I'm all done…time for you to do the snacks
Amber: Nina, I'll carry Cam for you (carries Cam)
Nina: Thanks Amber (leaves to make some snacks)
Eddie: I'm gonna put the stuff in the RV (leaves)
Amber: (holding Camille) Wow! She's really light! She's not heavy, as I thought she would be…
Patricia: Can I hold her? (Amber passes Cam to Patricia) Woah! You're right! She's light as a feather!
Jerome: Can I? (Patricia passes Cam to him) Hm! She's a lot lighter than Alfie!
Alfie: Yeah right! (holds Cam) Ugh! She's heavy!
Jerome: She's not!
Alfie: I can barely carry her! (struggles to carry Cam)
Patricia: You need to work out! And eat more!
Amber: Watch out Alfie! You're gonna drop her!
(Alfie accidentally drops Camille and she wakes up crying)
Nina: (comes back, wearing an apron and sees Cam crying on the floor) What happened? (rushes to Camille and holds her)
Cam: Somebody dropped me! (cries)
Nina: (looks at Amber)
(Amber points at Patricia, who points at Jerome who points at Alfie then Alfie holds up his arms, as if being arrested)
Alfie: It wasn't my fault! She was too heavy!
Nina: (picks up Cam) It's okay Alfie…(turns to Cam) Go back to sleep okay?
Cam: I wanna say goodbye to everyone instead
Nina: (sets her down) Okay…(leaves to make snacks)
Amber: (hugs Cam tightly) Don't forget us…
Cam: (smiles) Never!
Patricia: (hugs her) We'll miss you so much!
Cam: (Laughs) Don't worry, I'll keep in touch somehow
Jerome: (hugs her and spins her around) Agh! I'm gonna miss those big brown eyes!
Cam: (giggles) I'll miss your pranks!
(She goes to Alfie and they act weird)
Alfie: Uh…(sticks out his hand to shake) It was nice meeting you…
Cam: (smiles, grabs his hand and hugs him) I'll miss you Alfie! You're a nice friend and "uncle"…
Alfie: Yeah, thanks…
(Nina comes back with a picnic basket full of food and a cooler full of drinks)
Nina: Camille, it's time to go…
(Everyone go to the front porch, and they all say their goodbyes)
Nina: (hugs everyone) I'll miss you guys!
Everyone: Us too!
Cam: Wait! I forgot…(gets out four small boxes from her bag) Theses are for you (passes each one to Amber, Patricia, Alfie and Jerome)
(Inside are necklaces with each of their names and Cam's name. Like, "Amber and Camille")
Amber: Aw, thanks Cam!
(They wear it and give something to her, Nina and Eddie)
Patricia: Open it when you're in America…
Eddie: (straps the stuff on the side of the RV, under a big "box" thingy) Well! That's all! Time to leave
(Nina, Cam and Eddie get inside the RV and they wave)
Nina: Bye!
Everyone else: Buh Bye!
(The RV drives away and Nina starts to tear up)
Eddie: (rubs Nina's shoulder) Hey, don't cry…it's okay. We'll see them sometime
Nina: (wipes her eyes) Yeah…(turns to Cam) Alright, it's gonna take a very long trip to America, so you might as well take a nap
Cam: (yawns) Okay…
Nina: (passes a tippy cup of strawberry milk to Cam) Here, drink this so you'll fall asleep
Cam: (gets the bottle and drinks as she begins to fall asleep)
(Eddie and Nina chat and chat until around 5 in the morning)
Eddie: Why don't you check on Cam?
(Nina goes to the back, and sees Cam sleeping on one of the beds, with the cup still in her mouth, so she removes the cup and puts the blankets on her and goes back to the passenger seat)
Nina: She's sleeping
Eddie: Oh
Nina: So, how much longer?
Eddie: Well, since we left early and there's no traffic, we'll be there in a day…tomorrow maybe
Nina: (yawns) Okay
Eddie: Why don't you sleep for a while? You seem sleepy
Nina: Yeah, I am…but what about you?
Eddie: I'll sleep later, when we stop by somewhere
Nina: Okay (goes to the back and sleeps on one of the other beds)
3 HOURS LATER…(6 o' clock a.m.)
(Nina wakes up and sees Cam still sleeping. She goes to the passenger seat and sees Eddie drinking a cup of coffee)
Eddie: Hey Nina! You're finally awake!
Nina: How long did I sleep?
Eddie: Practically 3 hours!
Nina: Really? I never napped that long before!
Eddie: Yeah…want some coffee? There's a cup for you right there
(Nina gets the cup of coffee in front of her and drinks some)
Eddie: So uh, how's Camille?
Nina: She's still sleeping
Eddie: Well, at least she sleeps longer than you
Nina: Yeah!
Eddie: Sure she's okay?
Nina: Yeah, I think so…
Eddie: Oh…she seems uncomfortable and sick
Nina: I'll check on her later…she's probably not used to moving away from the others and her brother
Eddie: Oh ok…I'm gonna pull over in a parking lot later, so we can eat lunch since we never ate breakfast
Nina: Okay!
(Cam walks in, stands between them with a sleepy exhausted face and rubs her eyes)
Eddie: Hey sleepyhead! Finally you woke up…
Nina: You feeling okay?
Camille: Not really…
Eddie: Why not?
Camille: (slump her shoulders up and down) I don't know…I just don't feel good
Nina: You feeling sick?
Camille: Uh huh…
Eddie: Don't worry, you'll feel better later. I'm gonna pull over in a parking lot so we can eat
Cam: Okay…(sits next to Nina and leans on her then starts closing her eyes)
Nina: You feeling sleepy again?
Cam: (nods) Yeah, I'm tired
Nina: Okay, just sleep for a while then we'll wake you up when we're gonna eat
Cam: Okay (falls asleep, laying on Nina's lap)
Eddie: So, do you still have any feelings for…Fabian…?
Nina: Uh…I don't know…maybe?
Eddie: Oh…
Nina: Why?
Eddie: Nothing…it's just…I thought you like someone else and he might break your heart…?
Nina: Well of course not! And I got you…you can protect me from them right big brother?
Eddie: Haha, but I'm not "big"!
Nina: Fine, biggest?
Eddie: No! I am in perfect shape!
Nina: Fine!...super mega big? (starts laughing)
Eddie: Argh! You'll regret that!
Nina: NEVER! (remove Cam from her lap carefully and runs to the back and hides)
Eddie: Grrr! (puts the car on Auto mode and runs after Nina) Come out, come out wherever you are!
(Nina jumps on his back)
Nina: BOO!
Eddie: (gets Nina off his back, pins her down to the floor and starts tickling her) Bwuahahaha! Got you now!
Nina: Ah! Stop it!
Eddie: After you apologize!
Nina: Stop being an idiot and stop it!
Eddie: (pauses) Did you just call me an idiot? (pushes her to the small bathroom and locks her in there while she tries to get out)
Nina: Gah! (tries to get out) Let me out! Let me out!
Eddie: No no no no….I think you have to apologize…
Nina: EDDIE! I can't breathe in here! I'm suffocating! LET ME OUT NOW!
Eddie: Tick tock…tick tock…
Nina: EDDIE!
Eddie: I'm waiting…
Nina: Alright! I'm sor-….
Eddie: Nina?
~SILENCE~
Eddie: Nina, I'm not joking!
…..
(Eddie opens the bathroom door and sees Nina passed out on the floor)
Eddie: NINA! Oh gosh…what did I do? (brings her to the bed she slept on earlier) Nina, wake up! (shakes her)
(Nina is still unconscious)
Eddie: Oh man, what am I gonna do? Uh…(looks around) I got it! (uses his fingers to hold Nina's lips apart) Alright, this is for you sis…(puts his mouth ovr hers and gives Nina mouth to mouth)
(Eddie pumps her chest then gives mouth to mouth then repeats over and over again until…)
Eddie: (puts his mouth over hers and gives mouth to mouth)
Nina: (gasps for air) Uhh!
Eddie: (stops) Nina?
Nina: (opens her eyes halfway and coughs) E-eddie?
Eddie: Oh Nina! You're okay!
Nina: (coughs) W-what hap-pened?
Eddie: Uh, you tripped and got knocked out…
Nina: Oh…my throat hurts…I feel like I've been suffocating
Eddie: Yeah well…Ooh! There's a parking lot, I'll pull over
(Eddie pulls over then Nina wakes up Cam then the three eat on the table in the RV)
Cam: Mommy, are you okay? You seem tired
Nina: Uh…don't worry about me, eat your cookie
Cam: Okay (eats)
Eddie: So uh, we'll be there in a few so…gear up your stuff
Cam: How much longer?
Eddie: About 2 more hours
Nina: Hey Cam,-uh, is it okay if I call you sweetie?
Cam: Yeah
Nina: Okay sweetie, are you sure you're not sick?
Cam: I think I am
Nina: What hurts?
Cam: My head, my shoulders, my knees and my toes, my head my shoulders my knees and my toes…(singing)
Nina: Camille!
Cam: Huh? Oh sorry…my forehead, my ankle, my cheek and my throat
Nina: You poor baby! I'll get a wet cloth for your forehead, ice bags for your cheek and ankle, and some water and a thermometer for your throat after we eat
Cam: Okay…
Eddie: Looks like we're done eating! I'll do the dishes…(gets all the dishes goes to the kitchen to wash them)
Nina: Cam, you lay there, on your bed while I get the stuff
Cam: Okay…
(Nina leaves then comes back with the stuff and puts it where they're supposed to be)
Nina: Alright…now, I'll go make you some strawberry milk then I'll come back to check your thermometer
Cam: Okay…
WITH NINA AND EDDIE IN THE KITCHEN
Eddie: (washing the dishes) How is she?
Nina: (making strawberry milk) She's fine, I'm just making milk for her
Eddie: Oh…hey I was wondering…what would you do, if you really like someone, but she doesn't know you like her? I mean, me and her, we've been in a relationship for a really long time and I really love her. What should I do?
Nina: Hmm…I don't know…ask her to marry you?
Eddie: Oh…okay I think I'll do that!
Nina: Great! Who's the lucky girl?
Eddie: Um…
WITH CAM
*Agh! My head hurts! It won't go away! I wonder how long mommy's gonna be gone? I'll just check…*-Cam's POV
(Camille removes the ice bags and the cloth but still keeps the thermometer in her mouth and eavesdrops on Nina and Eddie)
WITH NINA AND EDDIE
Eddie: Nina, I've been wanting to tell you this, I really like you. I liked you ever since childhood. I want to be with you forever. I would never break your heart. Please, be with me and we'll have the happiest relationship of our life!
Nina: I-I don't know what say Eddie…
Eddie: You don't have to say anything…just say yes
Nina: Say yes to what?
Eddie: (gets down on his knees and opens a small box, revealing a ring) Will you marry me?
(They both hear a loud shattering sound, like a glass shattering and breaking)
Nina: What was that?
Eddie: (gets up) I don't know!
(They see Camille fainted on the floor with the thermometer on the floor)
Nina: (gasps) Camille! (rushes to her and shakes her) Wake up! Wake up!
Eddie: What happened?
Nina: I don't know…she must've passed out
Eddie: By what? Maybe she was shocked about something…or maybe she's sick…
Nina: I don't know…(sees the thermometer) Ah! Her thermometer! (checks it and gasps)
Eddie: What? What's the temperature?
Nina: It's 72.9
Eddie: Woah! That's way down!
Nina: When I got fever, I think it was 101.9…when means I was too hot…but now Cam's too cold!
Eddie: What if she has pneumonia?
Nina: Don't say that!
Eddie: Sorry! I'll call for help outside (goes outside then comes back in) Okay, the owner of the store called the ambulance…
Nina: (starts crying)
Eddie: (puts an arm around Nina) She's gonna be okay, I'm sure
(The ambulance people come and they put Cam on a gurney and Nina rides along with her while Eddie follows them in the RV)
AT THE HOSPITAL
(Nina waits outside the operating room while Eddie tries to find a parking space in the parking lot)
Nina: (texting)
Hey guys…we're all fine but Cam's in the hospital…she just passed out somehow and her temperature is 72.9 and she's in the operating room, for some reason. I miss you guys so much! How's everyone? And Fabian...? Text back as soon as you get this! 3 Nina
(Nina waits and waits for Amber to reply)
Hey Nina! Everything's fine and we're okay. Camille's in the hospital? Oh no! I feel terrible for you…operating room? She's getting an operation? Fabian's okay and he misses you…a lot! He's been asking us about you, but we keep our lips sealed. Gotta go! Xoxo, Amber
Hey Amber…I really wish you and the others are here with me now… 3 Nina

(Nina looks up and gasps)
Nina: Amber? Patricia! Alfie? Jerome!
Them: NINA! (they run to her)
(They all hug)
Nina: What are you guys doing here?
Amber: Well, we were driving around for a bit then when you texted me that Cam was in the hospital, we were close to America so we decided to visit…?
Nina: Aw, you guys are truly the best!
Jerome: I know I am! (laughs)
Patricia: (tries to look inside the window) So, where is she?
(They all sit down)
Nina: I don't know…they had to send her in there…I don't know why…I wish the doctor would come out now!
(The doctor comes out)
Amber: I was right! Wishes do come true!
Doctor: Ms. Martin?
Nina: (stands up) That's me
Doc: Come here please
(Nina goes to the doctor)
Doc: She is quite fine and kinda of healthy….
Nina: So what's the problem? Why was she rushed to the operation room?
Doc: Well, we checked her. Like did tests on her and something wasn't right about her tests
Nina: What do you mean?
Doc: I have good news and bad news
Nina: Oh no, she's gonna die isn't she?
Doc: No no no! Of course not! That could never ever happen to a child like her!
Nina: Oh, whew…I thought she was gonna die! She almost did last time when we were in England!
Doc: The bad news is that she needs an operation
Nina: What!
Ooh! Camille needs an operation! How will Nina react? Who's the lucky girl that Eddie is gonna surprise? Has Fabian got over Nina and found someone else? Find out in my next story!
