Do you know how deeply in love with you I am? All this is going on and I still can’t be attracted to anyone but you.
*Sam Hawkins kisses her husband*
The baby is going to change some of our priorities and behaviors.
Sam Hawkins nods
I know I’m not your father, but can curfew be at 1:30am is that agreeable to you my angel?
You know from now on you have to be careful what you put in your body. Right.
Then we are all set! I’m going to go look at baby furniture and stuff, I’ll be here when you get home from work. Ok?
*Sam Hawkins waits for him to leave*
*Ronald drives away*
**Ronald leaves* takes a deep breath*
*Ronald and Sam wake up in the morning n each other’s arms.
*Sam Hawkins stretches*
*Ronald, arm around his wife stares at the ceiling fan feeling contemplative*
*Sam Hawkins sits up and rubs her eyes*
Tommy Mason is a pilot for the Airliners.
I’m in pretty good shape, don’t you think?
have you seen Tommy lately?
I wish I was as jacked as that guy.
when was the last time you saw Tommy?
Have you seen Tommy in the last few years?
Uh Oh! *Ronald smiles* have you seen him in the last few weeks?
Back in the day, did he dump you?
Does it hurt not being in love with someone these days?
Oh shit! *Ronald laughs genuinely.* Are you in love with someone now??
If I guess will you tell me?
*She nods*
I have two guesses.
Gino at the bank, or Malibu Bruce our biker friend.
Is that wonderful laugh a no on both?
Ok I give up, just give me a first name.
Say it for me Sam.
Would you like to save our marriage?
would you like to save our marriage?
As long as you come home to bed with me every night, and continue giving me the time with you that we have been enjoying now, and you are willing to tell me every detail of your affairs…and nothing else changes….. Do what you want with your time,
Do you agree?
One more thing.
*She listens*
I don’t know what that kid’s gonna look like or who the biological father is, and I don’t care but….
As long as that baby doesn’t bark. It’s mine – you dig?
*Sam Hawkins nods*
*Sam Hawkins kisses her husband*
I know I’m not your father, but curfew at 1:30 am fair?
Then we are all set! I’m going to go look at baby furniture and stuff, I’ll be here when you get home from work. Ok?
*Sam Hawkins waits for him to leave*
*Ronald drives away*
*Sam Hawkins takes a deep breath*
*Ronald turns on the car radio, “every breath you take”*
*Samantha is home alone*
*Ronald’s waiting at the house for Sam who isn’t quite late but he’s mumbling to himself* Why did I agree to the two weeks notice? that’s too much rope… *Ronald hears motorcycles outside the house*
*Sam Hawkins is brought home on time by a biker gang and limps into the house*
*Ronald watches as the bikers help her off the bike and each one thanks her and gives her a careful hug and kiss.*
*Sam limps into the bedroom, disrobes immediately and falls onto the bed spread eagle*
*Ronald sees bruises and some abrasions and a trickle of blood* What the fuck happened?
A black eye? and they were gentlemen enough to bring you home? Was this planned?
So you agreed to a gang bang?
*She nods*
I remember the motorcycles dropping you off before… wow babe, you’ve done it a bunch of times!
This time they got a little too rough huh?
*She nods*
*Ronald realizes the possible consequences* Oh shit! The baby! Any blows to the body? Is your tummy ok?
Were they apologetic? Were they careless? Drunk?
Do you need medical attention?
I’ve seen bruises on you before just never on your face.
*Sam Hawkins laughs* That’s kind’a my fault, I was standing up facing the wall and receiving from behind and I should have kept my balance but he was driving to hard and fell and hit my face. Stupid *Sam Hawkins laughs painfully.*
What can I do for you baby?
*She whimpers*
Take off your shirt.
*Sam Hawkins nods, carefully removing her tank top.*
*Ronald runs to the bathroom and grabs a plastic case and quickly returns*
This is morphine, You’ll be feeling better soon. *Ronald expertly shoots up Sam*
Thank you for making it home. As long as you come home to bed with me every night, and continue giving me your companionship. And tell me what happened no matter how bad or embarrassed it makes you feel. We’re good.
Do you agree?
*She nods*
*She listens*
I see you are in pain, but you don’t seem mad or acting victimized. I want you to know I am concerned, but except for your face plant this is nothing new and something you accept as part of the job. Right?
*She nods*
Are they still going to be your clients after this Baby?
*She nods*
So you are not afraid of them?
*Sam Hawkins seemingly speaking only when necessary looks at Ronald* As long as Lucas is leading it, I’ll be ok, It just got a little crazy and clumsy this time. I love Lucas and he’ll make sure this doesn’t happen again. One of the guys was methed-out, mean and angry. Lucas took care of him.
*Ronald considers the whole event* This is one of the reasons you must be comfortable telling me every detail. If you hadn’t in this case, I might be out there right now ready to fight a biker gang! I promised to protect you, but I also promised to let you handle your job issues on your own.
*Sam Hawkins nods appreciatively.*
Is the pain medicine working?
*Ronald turns on the car radio, “every breath you take”*
*Samantha is home alone*
*She sighs*
