(Chris makes sure he's calmed down enough to tell Mariska about his relationship with Rachel. She kisses his chest to comfort him and just waits for him.)

Chris: She wanted to move back home.

Mariska: How long have you two been together?

Chris: Six years.

Mariska: I take it you didn't want to go back?

Chris: No, it's not home anymore. My life is here and she just wanted different. She followed me down here a few months after I got established. Everything was great until a few months before you all got here. We were talking about marriage and having kids together, living happily ever after. Well, I found out she was talking to another guy whom she had been fucking for four months. She also told me that she was pregnant but we hadn't had sex in a month.

Mariska: Oh my god, Chris I'm so sorry.

Chris: I'm not, I figured maybe I wasn't what she was looking for. It's been a hard road coming to terms with it and right now I'm just trying to figure out myself. I don't want to jump into a relationship too fast, but I feel a special connection to you.

Mariska: (smiles) Me too, and I'm having fun.

Chris: Come on let's get up from here and go out.

Mariska: Can we go to the beach?

Chris: (kisses her) We can go anywhere you want.

Mariska: I'm hungry too, I've worked up an appetite.

(He moves on top of her as she spreads her legs to make room for him. She cups his face and pulls him down kissing him. She slips her tongue inside his mouth and they both moan with excitement.)

Chris: If we don't stop, we will never leave this bed.

Mariska: (thrust up) I just love kissing you.

Chris: (groan) You're so evil.

(She pecks his lips once more before she slides from beneath him. She looks back and smirks at him as she strutted to the bathroom.)

Mariska: Are you coming, no need to waste hot water.

Chris: (gets up) You bet your gorgeous ass I am.

(She takes off running as he chases her into the bathroom. She turns the shower on and then goes to stand in the mirror to pin her hair up. She gets in the shower and stands under the spray letting the water hit her skin. He comes to stand behind her wrapping his arms around her.)

Mariska: Can you wash my back, please?

Chris: (kiss her shoulder) Yeah hand me the soap.

(He squeezed some on her bath sponge and lathered it before washing her back. He moves it over her body as she closes her eyes enjoying this moment.)

Chris: Turn around.

Mariska: OK, but you have to let me do you too.

(She grabs another sponge lathers it up and washes him as he does her. Soon the touches turned heated, hungry kisses, and next thing they were having steamy shower sex. Afterward, they finally got something to eat and took a long stroll on the beach.)

(Mariska had decided to extend her residency because she wasn't ready to leave yet. It was also going to make good on her resume for when she's finished. Her parents weren't too thrilled but they wanted what was best for her. She didn't tell them about Chris because it wasn't serious but they did really like each other.)

(Three months go by and things between Mariska and Chris have become deeper. They agreed on the relationship being just two friends who scratch each other's itch. But deep down inside they both were falling and falling fast.)

(It was a Monday and it was also one of the worst days of Mariska's life. Today she woke up with the worst cramps ever and had bled through her sheets. Instead of going in, she sent Chris a text to let him know she wasn't going to make it.)

(TEXT)

Chris: Hey gorgeous everything ok?

Mariska: No, I just want to die.

Chris: Hold on let me go into my office.

Mariska: No, you don't have to do that.

(Five minutes later he was calling her. She groans before she answers and the first thing she hears is.)

Chris: What's wrong?

Mariska: You didn't have to call Chris, I'm fine really.

Chris: Is there something I could do?

Mariska: No, just the usual PMS. I'm fine really Chris its just bad cramps, I'll survive.

Chris: You sure?

Mariska: I'm sure, sorry I worried you.

Chris: Hey I'm going to always worry.

Mariska: (blush) Your sweet.

Chris: I need to get back, I'll talk to you later.

Mariska: OK, and tell the kids hi for me.

Chris: OK, bye.

Mariska: Bye.

(After she hangs up with Chris she gets up and almost has to hold on to her bed from feeling dizzy. She gathered herself and walked to the kitchen for her pain pills and a bottle of water. After she takes the medicine she goes back to bed because it will make her sleepy.)

(Hours passed and she was still knocked out from the medication when Chris came knocking. He knocks for a good five minutes before he starts to panic. Using the key she gave him for emergencies, he let himself in and noticed how dark and quiet it was.)

Chris: Mariska your here?

(He looks and sees her purse and cell phone on the kitchen counter. Really starting to freak out she heads toward her bedroom. He opens the door and that's when he sees her in bed sound asleep. He slowly walks over to her and sits next to her before he touches her arm calling her name.)

Chris: Marsha.

(Nothing.)

Chris: Mariska wakes up.

(She groans but doesn't move.)

Chris: Mariska baby I need you to wake up for me.

(He pulls her covers back and that's when he sees the blood underneath her. He gets up and grabs her arm to turn her so he can see her face and she barely moves. He taps her face to arouse her from this deep sleep she's in causing her to frown and moan in pain.)
