Act One, Scene two
Exterior: Lucy's backyard
(Same day)
(Lucy and the kids are playing together in the backyard.)
NATE3
Hey, Lucy! Hey kids!
LUCY
Nate? You're back?
NATE3
For a bit, yeah.
LUCY
What happened with...um...Kim?
NATE3
Well, she left.
LUCY
She left?
NATE3
For another guy. Yep. Sucks, huh?
LUCY
Yeah, sorry to hear that. She doesn't deserve you!
NATE3
Heard you have made some...changes to, huh?
LUCY
Um, yeah.
NATE3
For the better, Lucy, for the better.
(Nate exits granny unit.)
If it isn't my buddy, my name-sake, Nate!
NATE
Hi.
NATE3
Why the long face, man?
LUCY
What's up, Nate? You okay?
NATE
Just got some really weird news earlier and...you know, kind of miss Laura.
Adam
Nate, push me on the swing!
NATE
Okay, buddy, here I come.
LUCY
Weird news?
NATE
Yeah, I don't think I should say.
NATE3
Suit yourself.
NATE
How are you doing, Lucy?
LUCY
Hanging in there, best I can. Just trying to get some time with my little men.
NATE
Yeah, that's awesome.
LUCY
The only men I really need in my life! They'll never let me down.
NATE
True.
LUCY
Well, there's you. My Stephen, My Adam, and My Manny. That's all the guys I need.
NATE3
And me?
LUCY
Oh, yes, my neighbor.
CUTAWAY: Kiyah's living room.
(Kiyah sits in arm-chair, reading. Samantha lays on the couch, looking at her phone. There is a knock at the door.)
KIYAH
Who is it?
ASHLEY
Its me!
KIYAH
Come in, Ashley!
(Ashley enters and collapses on the floor near the couch.)
You okay, hon?
ASHLEY
I just had to do the hardest, weirdest thing ever.
SAMANTHA
Yeah? Was it waiting for the guy you've been sleeping to text you while pretending you aren't waiting?
ASHLEY
Um, no. Not that at all.
SAMANTHA
Oh. I see.
KIYAH
You want to talk about it, hon?
ASHLEY
I don't know...no, not really.
KIYAH
Okay. But if you do?
ASHLEY
Got it.
SAMANTHA
We could do some pre-production stuff on the show. Laura should be back in a few days, we'll be able to start shooting some scenes with her and Nate--
ASHLEY
Her and Nate.
SAMANTHA
Yeah, they're like a thing now. Its pretty awesome.
ASHLEY
Well, that's just swell.
SAMANTHA
Yeah, it is. So, I was thinking we could start with all the interior scenes, using this place here for the main living area, what say you?
ASHLEY
How long have they been a thing?
SAMANTHA
Not long. I mean, its really new and then she had to go down south for her dad's funeral. But, yeah, whatever, I thought you were cool with it. You don't think you like him now, do you?
ASHLEY
No, no.
SAMANTHA
Then?
ASHLEY
Um, yeah...I don't know. I'm happy for them, I guess.
SAMANTHA
Okay. So, anyway, I was making some notes and came up with a shot list
(She sits up and picks up binder on coffee table, opens it.)
So, if you want to just check this over and let me know what you think.
ASHLEY
(looks over notes in binder for a few minutes)
I think I'm pregnant!!!!
KIYAH
What the hell?
SAMANTHA
Yeah, what the hell?
KIYAH
Is it...Nate's?
ASHLEY
Who else would it be?
KIYAH
Right. That little bastard.
SAMANTHA
Does he know?
ASHLEY
Yeah, I told him. Just now.
KIYAH
And?
ASHLEY
He seemed kind of like he wanted to just take care of it, you know.
KIYAH
That little---
SAMANTHA
Guess the praying the Nate away wasn't that effective.
Fade into: Lucy's backyard, kids are playing in the backyard, Nate is pushing Adam on swing, Nate3 is standing behind fence, watching and laughing with them.
(Kiyah's car pulls into driveway. Kiyah gets out, along with Samantha, and then after a minute, Ashley.)
KIYAH
Where is he? Where is that little---
LUCY
Who? What is it, Kiyah?
(Kiyah sees Nate pushing Adam on swing.)
KIYAH
Nate, come over here this minute.
NATE3
Me?
NATE
Me?
LUCY
What is it, Kiyah? Why are you talking to my manny like he's a misbehaving kid?
KIYAH
Why don't you tell him, Nate?
(Ashley and Samantha get out of the car and starts walking towards them. Ashley sees Nate3.)
ASHLEY
Nate?
NATE AND NATE3
Ashley?
