INT. HOME - NIGHT
Brittaney and Edison are sitting on the couch watching “Euphoria”.
EDISON
Britt, you do realize that no acts like this in high school.
BRITTANEY
Maybe not your high school.
EDISON
This show makes no sense.
BRITTANEY
Oh, and Star Wars does. I mean seriously Edison; the Force makes no sense.
EDISON
That’s because you’ve only seen one Star Wars movie.
BRITTANEY
I don’t want to watch nine movies.
EDISON
It would only be six. I love you too much to make you sit through the sequel trilogy.
BRITTANEY
Oh my gosh, Edison you’ve got to move on from the sequel trilogy.
EDISON
No, they had one job. Conclude an epic saga but apparently that was too hard.
BRITTANEY
(Sigh)
You know, I’m too tired to finish this episode. I’m just gonna go to bed.
Brittaney gets up.
EDISON
Britt, wait.
Edison stands up
EDISON
I’m sorry. Euphoria is a good show. Despite being inaccurate. I know this month has been hard because you know… everything that’s happened.
BRITTANEY
Edison, it's okay. I’m just tired. You know with homework and Christina I just… I need a break.
EDISON
Yeah, me too. You know, we never had a honeymoon.
BRITTANEY
Are you… saying what I think you’re saying?
EDISON
We are gonna have a honeymoon. Spring Break’s in two days and I’m sure Megan will let us use her beach cabin.
BRITTANEY
Sounds fun. Wait, who will watch Christina?
EDISON
Oh yeah. Megan and Paige are visiting Sabrina.
BRITTANEY
What about Andrew and Sarah?
EDISON
Oh yeah, they don’t exactly have lives right now so it works out.
Two days later.
Edison and Brittaney are wearing beach attire and are carrying a suitcase. Sarah is holding Christina and Andrew is standing next to them.
BRITTANEY
There’s formula in the fridge and remember, don’t hesitate to call us. We'll only be gone for a week.
SARAH
We’ll be fine. Go have fun.
ANDREW
Have fun you two.
Edison and Brittaney leave.
ANDREW
So, uh how do you want to do this. Take turns?
SARAH
It’s okay, I can do this by myself.
ANDREW
What?
SARAH
Look it’s just… you’re not…
ANDREW
You think just because I don’t want children means I can’t take care of Christina?
SARAH
Andrew I…
ANDREW
Okay. Okay you got this. I’ll just… be here if you need me. Doing nothing.
INT. HOME - NIGHT
Andrew walks into Edison and Brittaney's room. Sarah is rocking a crying Christina.
ANDREW
What time is it?
SARAH
2 A.M. She won’t go back to sleep. I’ve tried everything. I even tried telling her about Space Wars.
ANDREW
Star Wars.
SARAH
Oh, like there’s a difference.
ANDREW
Let me hold her.
Sarah nods defeatedly and hands Christina over to Andrew.
ANDREW
Hey there aren't you tired? I know you miss your parents and I’m sure they miss you too, but they’ll be back soon. All you got to do is close your eyes.
Christina stops crying and slowly falls asleep. Andrew places her in her crib. He and Sarah step out into the hallway.
SARAH
You are amazing.
ANDREW
Not really.
The couple stands in silence.
ANDREW
Well, I should go back to my room.
SARAH
Same.
The couple stare at each other. There’s something there. A spark. A spark that has not appeared in some time.
END.
