N: Felicity?

F: Hey.
N: Hey, how are you feeling?
F: Im fine. Um this girl here needs to talk to you so
Ill just leave you two alone.
(Felicity leaves)

Um what can I do for you?
A: Im having sort of this crisis. And I think youre

N: Okay, well what can I do for you?
A: Um...

A: I think that youre my father!
N: You what?
A: I said, I think youre my father!
N: Excuse me? Ive only been married for 5 years and
Felicity and I are just expecting our first child in about 7
months.
A: Do you remember a Ruby Wheaton?
N: Yeah. She was a freshman at N. Y. U. and we dated. A few
months later she got pregnant. But it wasnt
mine.
A: She was wrong, we took some tests and they matched up with
you.
N: Wow! Okay um, well....
A: Look I seem to have put a lot of pressure on you. Ill
come back in a couple of days.
N: Okay.
(Alexia leaves. Noel goes to talk to Felicity)
F: Hey, what was that all about?
N: That girl thought she was my daughter.
F: What?
N: Shes Rubys. Anyway, its a long story.
Ill tell you about it this evening. So, how are you
feeling?
F:Queesy!! But, okay.
N: Oh look at the time, wed better hurry if were
going to meet Ben and Julie for dinner.
(Noel and Felicity leave and meet up with Ben and Julie for
dinner)
J: Hey you guys. How are you ?
F: Hey. Im fine. Ugh, I have such important news to tell
you guys.

N: Hey.
(They hug and sit down)
F: Okay, so you guys go first.

Ben and I are getting married!
F: Are you serious?
B: Yup.
N: Congratulations! Well, we have some important news too!
F: Yes! (excitedly) were going to have a baby!
(Later that evening they finish dinner, leave and go home)
(The next day)
(Ben and Julie at Bens apartment. Ben wakes up to look
across at Julie lying there asleep, she looked almost
innocent)
(Julie wakes up)
J: Um....Ben? Oh good morning. How did you sleep?
B: For the time I slept very well. Do you know how cute you look
when youre asleep?
J: You know, you cant always sweet talk me. Eventually
youre going to have to tell me the truth, but for now
Im
okay with youre sweet lies.
(Goes to Meghan and Greg)
M: Hey Greg, get off of me. You weigh a ton!
G: Dont you know what sleep is? Besides its not like
I was on top of you or anything.
M: Yeah, well do you know what personal space is? Its
something I like and am used to.
G: Fine, you like personal space so much then Im outta
here!
(Greg leaves abruptly and Meghan is left feeling astounded)
(Goes to Felicity and Noel)
(Noel wakes up)
N: Good morning.
F: Hey...(pause)
(felicity runs to the bathroom because she is nauseated)
N: Well that was romantic! (Sarcastically)
(about 10 minutes later)
F: sorry! (Sympathetically)
N: Thats okay, I was just not expecting it. This is a first
time for me, remember that!
F: Not according to Alexia!
N: Even if she is mine, I wasnt there for all that stuff.
(Pause) I love you Felicity.
F: I love you too! Now if you dont mind we have to get up
because its getting late and youre already late for
work.
N: Aw, theyll understand once they find out were
going to have a baby!
F: We? Im the one whos hungry and um... nauseated all
the time! Speaking of hungry, do we have any eggs and
pickles?
N: Thats just sick! (Noel says with a laugh)
F: What did you expect?
N: I didnt know what to expect, but eggs and pickles?
Interesting! So anyway, care to join me in the shower?
F: Im hungry not dirty! Go by yourself!
(Felicity finishes making breakfast and Noel comes down stairs)
N: How can you eat that?
(Noel disgusted with Felicity eating eggs and pickles)
F:I have no idea. But my mom used to eat worse!
N:What did she used to eat?
F:Biscuts with chocolate and melted cheese. Which doesnt
sound that bad now
N:Ugh!
(Noel cringed at the though of all those foods together as one)
F: Oh shit!
N: What? (Pause) Oh my gosh Im late for work!
(Noel finishes breakfast and gets ready to go)
N:Bye.
(They kiss for about 5 minutes)
N: Okay I really have to go now!
F:If you have to!
(Sounds upset)
N: Well I suppose I could always call in sick?
F: Okay!
(Answers without hesitation)
(Noel calls in sick and stays home)
F: Since Im done, want to join me in the bedroom?
N: Im busy not tired!
F: Okay I get the picture. So do you?
N: hmm the bedroom you say?
(Raises an eyebrow)
(Felicity takes him by the shirt collar and drags him into the
bedroom)
N: Hey watch the shirt!
F: You know I hope the baby turn out just like you!
N: Oh you do, do you?
F: Yeah!
(Moments later you see Felicity and Noel go into the bedroom and
shut the door)
(Goes to Ben and Julie)
J: Hey wheres Sean?
B: I call in sick to stay here with you and all you care about is
wheres Sean? Yeah that makes sense.
J: Geepers what cat bit your butt?
B: Im sorry!
J: Thats okay. One thing though.
B: What?
J: Why do you keep calling in sick all the time? Youre
gonna get yourself fired.
B: And why does that matter to you anyhow?
J: Because we need the money to buy a house. Gosh! We cant
just live here all our lives after we get married!
B: Okay, okay! Come on lets go for a walk.
(Ben and Julie go for a walk)
(Goes to Felicity and Elena on the phone)
E: Im so happy for you!
F: Thanks
E: So how have you been feeling?
F: I feel nauseated all the time!
E: Anyway, so whats the gossip?
F:Ill tell you the rest tomorrow because theres a lot
to talk about.
(Noel walks in)
N: Felicity?
F: Im in here...(Goes back to the phone) Elena, I Gotta Go
Noel just got home
E: Ugh! Okay well later!
F: Bye
(Felicity hangs up the phone with Elena and goes to see Noel)
(Felicitys eyes start to water)
(Noel sees Felicity)
(kiss)
N: Whats wrong?
F: Im just so...happy!
(Starts to cry)
(Noel goes and hugs Felicity)
F:Im just having a long day. (Pause) Im also just not
used to all these hormones and stuff
(later that evening)
(Knock on door)
(Felicity answers the door)
(Julie enters)
J: Hey!
F: Hey, how are you?
J: Um, Im okay. Oh hey so Ben and I pushed the wedding up

F: Why?
J: Oh well we just both wanted to be together sooner! Anyway I

F: Okay, bye!
J: Bye!
(Julie leaves)
(Felicity goes upstairs and into her bedroom. Climbs in bed with
Noel)
(The next day with Felicity and Noel)
N: Good morning!
F: Ugh!
(Felicity runs to the bathroom)
N: oh well, at least this time I was prepared!
(About 20 minutes later)
F: I feel like crap
N: Here rest.
(Noel helps Felicity back into bed to rest)
N: Ill go make breakfast
(Felicity comes downstairs moments later looking flustered)
N: Whats wrong?
F: I just remembered that I have a doctors appointment yesterday
and that Elenas coming here today at 1
oclock to stay for a week
N: Good thing I have today off!
F: Again?
N: Oh yeah I ran into my boss yesterday and told him about us, so
he let me have today off too!
F: Thats good now I dont feel so bad!
(Goes to Meghan and Greg)
( Greg wakes up to find Meghan gazing up at him)
M: Good morning!
G: Whats wrong with you?
M: Gosh what bit your butt! Cant a girl just be sweet every
once in a while?
G:Nothing its just that you sort of have this reputation of
being a .....
M: What? Being a bitch? Yeah its because ever time I do try
and be sweet and nice to people they never take
me seriously!
G: Sorry! I didnt mean to release the pitbull out of you. I
was just placing a statement.
M: Look I have to go. Call me when you arent so pissed off!
God!
(Meghan leaves)
(Goes to Ben and Julie)
B:Hey where are you going?
J: Um, I have to go to the....store!
B: okay then, see you in a little while.
J: Whatever!
(Julie leaves. Ben gets confused)
(Sean enters)
S: hey, wheres Julie?
B: The store. But she seemed a bit on edge.
S: Why would she be on edge?
B: Um, well we wanted to tell you together, but, she bailed so,
(pause) Were getting married!
S: married? (A little confused) um...congratulations. So, do you
have a chef?
(Ben has a look of thoughtful confusion)
B:Youll have to talk to Julie about it, shes in
charge of all that stuff.
