INT. HOUSE - NIGHT

 

Edison and Brittaney lie in bed. Next to them, Christina lies asleep in her crib. She awakens and states crying. Edison and Brittaney wake up. 

 

EDISON

I got it.

 

Morning

 

The group sit at the dining table eating breakfast. Brittaney is holding Christina.

 

Andrew yawns.

 

BRITTANEY

I’m sorry if Christina is waking you all up. 

 

ANDREW

Don’t apologize. We are all prepared for this.

 

MEGAN

Yeah don’t worry about us. 

 

PAIGE

How are you doing in your classes?

 

BRITTANEY

Thankfully, I have very understanding professors. I got extensions on most of my assignments.

 

EDISON

I offered to do her homework.

 

BRITTANEY

And I appreciate that but I’m really trying to maintain a good GPA. Speaking of classes, I have a quiz today. Edison, can you watch her?

 

EDISON

Of course. My class got cancelled. Professor got a DUI.

 

SARAH

Seriously?

 

ANDREW

Yeah. Turns out he was drunk during our lectures as well. 

 

INT. HALLWAY - DAY

 

Brittaney exits her classroom and answers her phone.

 

BRITTANEY

Edison what’s wrong?

 

EDISON

Hey, so Christina has a rash, and it looks kind of bad. Do we have anything in the apartment for it?

 

BRITTANEY

No. Take her to the pediatrician.

 

EDISON

Really? You sure?

 

BRITTANEY

Yes, look I got to get back to class. Text me after okay.

 

EDISON

Got it.

 

Later.

 

INT. HOUSE - DAY

 

Brittaney enters the house. Edison in on the floor playing with Christina. 

 

BRITTANEY

Hey, how was the appointment?

 

EDISON

I Splurged a little and got the full workup. 

 

Edison lifts his and Christina’s feet. 

 

EDISON

Don’t we both look nice.

 

BRITTANEY

What the hell are you talking about?

 

EDISON

I did what you told me to do. 

 

BRITTANEY

And that was?

 

EDISON

I took her to get a pedicure.

 

BRITTANEY

Edison, I told you to take her to the pediatrician? The baby doctor.

 

EDISON

Oh. I guess I heard you wrong.

 

BRITTANEY

You know, sometimes you do some really stupid stuff, but this takes the cake.

 

EDISON

Hey, this parenting thing is hard, give me a break.

 

BRITTANEY

A break! Edison, I’M THE ONE WHO NEEDS THE BREAK! I’m balancing a bachelor’s degree and taking care of Christina.

 

Brittaney starts hyperventilating. Edison puts Christina in a car seat and goes over to her. He holds her. 

 

EDISON

I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I know I messed up and I’m sorry. I’ll be better I promise.

 

BRITTANEY

I’m sorry.

 

EDISON

It’s okay. Look, I was going to wait to surprise you but… the group… they’ve agreed to help you in your classes. 

 

BRITTANEY

What?

 

EDISON

Well, mostly Paige. She really likes homework.

 

BRITTANEY

Edison, I… Thank you. 

 

EDISON

Britt, you’re not alone. WE are not alone. We have friends. Christina has the best extended family that anyone could ask for.

 

END.
