PART 2B
[Zac is holding Rachel in his arms as the walk out the door.
On the way to the clinic.]
RACHEL: Zaccy, I'm scared.
ZAC: Me too, honey.
RACHEL: What if I am. . .ya know. . .pregnant
ZAC: We will get through it together. I will never leave
your side, even if it is Dan's child and he won't take responsibility for
it.
RACHEL: Aww. . .you're so sweet.
[BACK AT THE HOUSE]
TORI: I hope everything turns out alright.
ISAAC: Me too. How could he. He's only fourteen.
MORGAN: Well, usually in soap operas. . .
TORI: Morgan!
DELIA: She's right. We will have to learn from this.
TAYLOR: Man, I will be an uncle, jeez.
ISAAC: That's so weird.
DELIA: Since we are going out, it sorta considers me an aunt
and Tori, you would be. . .
TORI: A second cousin?
ISAAC: Probably not, you're only a friend, not family. But
Delia, you would be an aunt anyway cuz you're Rae's sister.
DELIA: Oh yeah
MORGAN: You know what?
TAYLOR: If its about something that happened in a soap opera,
we don't want to hear it
MORGAN: Its not!
TAYLOR: Fine then, what?
MORGAN: Since we are all of Rae's friends, we are going to
have to help her through he nine months bit.
TORI: But we can all do it, right?
TAYLOR: [irritated] Shut up
TORI: What? I'm just trying to help [Tori runs out of
the room]
DELIA: Look what you did. She's probably crying by now.
Thanks a lot
TAYLOR: Sorry, I'll go see if she is okay
[AT THE CLINIC]
NURSE: Rachel Heverling
RACHEL: I'm here. Can he come with me.
NURSE: Sure [smiles]
RACHEL: Come on, Zac
ZAC: I'm right by your side.
NURSE: You can follow Pat, and she will take you to your room
PAT: Please follow me. The doctor will be with you shortly
[ZAC & RACHEL SIT DOWN IN THE ROOM WAITING]
[BACK AT HOUSE]
TAYLOR: Tori? Are you okay? I didn't mean to yell
at you.
TORI: I was just trying to look at the bright side of things.
I mean, wouldn't you if you were Rachel?
TAYLOR: I sure would, but you really wanna know something
TORI: What?
TAYLOR: Well, really, I am scared out of my mind.
TORI: Really?
TAYLOR: yeah, I mean, Zac looks up to me and Isaac and I'm
afraid he'll ask me questions and I won't know the answers. I mean,
he's only 14.
TORI: I know, and I am Rae's best friend. Whe is only
15. I'm gonna have to have help her with everything and so will Delia
and Morgan. I'm really starting to get scared Taylor.
TAYLOR: [Hugs Tori] It will be alright. As you
said before, we'll all help her out, plus we can all do it together.
[Tori laughs. Tay kisses her on her forehead.]
[AT CLINIC]
DR. MALONE: Hello, Rachel. I'm Dr. Malone. How
can I help you?
RACHEL: I think I'm [pauses] pregnant [swallows hard]
DR. MALONE: Okay, and you are? [looking at Zac]
ZAC: One of the possible fathers
DR. MALONE: Okay, how that we know who everyone is.
Rachel. . .
RACHEL: [cuts her off] Rae.
DR. MALONE: Rae--you can come with me and we'll run some tests.
Zac, can you please wait here.
ZAC: Sure [whispers to Rachel] It'll be alright
[Rachel smiles. Dr. Malone and Rachel leave the room while
Zac waits nervously.]
[Back home with Tay and Tori. In each others arms]
TAYLOR: This will all work out in some way
TORI: Tay? [looks at him in the eyes]
TAYLOR: Yeah girl?
TORI: Whenever we both get stressed out, we should come to
each other.
TAYLOR: I agree. It will sure help to talk to someone
who is going through the same thing.
TORI: We better go see if Rachel got back yet with the news.
TAYLOR: And to see if Zac is okay
[Taylor and Tori leave the room]
[At Clinic. Back with Rachel and the results]
RACHEL: Dr. Malone said that she will be right back with the
results.
ZAC: [short & quick] okay
RACHEL: Its going to be okay, Zac. I'm really scared
too.
[DR.. MALONE ENTERS THE ROOM]
DR.. MALONE: Okay, I have the results [sits down by Rachel]
RACHEL: Yeah. Am I pregnant?
DR.. MALONE: Well, I guess I shouldn't beat around the bush.
. .yes you are.
RACHEL: [draws in a quick breath] Oh gosh [drops head into
hands] Do you know who the father is
DR.. MALONE: Well, if you want to issue a paternity test,
we can wait until after the baby is born. In the meantime, I can
make an educated guess by asking a few questions. I just need the
person that you think is the father.
ZAC: That would be me.
DR.. MALONE: Okay, come with me.
ZAC: Okay [smiles to Rae]
[Dr. Malone and Zac leave the room.]
[a few minutes pass. Zac and Dr. Malone return to the room]
DR.. MALONE: Okay then, I have good news. Zac you are
most likely the father.
RACHEL & ZAC: [sigh of relief]
DR.. MALONE: Now, I am going to give you some numbers and
pamphlets about teen pregnancies. Please come back in a month and
I will talk to you about check ups.
RACHEL: Okay.
ZAC: Thank you
DR.. MALONE: You're welcome
ZAC & RACHEL: Bye
[Rachel and Zac walk home in each others' arms again] [BACK AT HOUSE]
TAYLOR: [Enters room] Hello
TORI: [Enters right behind Taylor] Hi ya all.
Did Rae. . .
TAYLOR: [interrupts] and Zac get back yet
[Front door opens]
DELIA: Is that them? Hello?
KAREN: It's mom.
DELIA: Oh, okay mom. Hi.
KAREN: Hi, hey I forgot something at the store. I'll
be right back [leaves]
DELIA: [To everyone] We have to keep this whole thing
a secret
TAYLOR, ISAAC, MORGAN, TORI: Agreed
[Walking]
ZAC: Rae?
RACHEL: Yeah, sweetie
ZAC: Maybe we should keep it to ourselves about who the father
is. . .
RACHEL: First of all, Zac, we don't know for sure. Second--I
don't understand what you're saying. Aren't you happy that it is
most likely you?
ZAC: Oh, don't get me the wrong way. I'm thrilled.
I certainly don't want it to be Dan. But with my music career, and
all of the publicity and fame. . .I don't want you and our child to be
introduced to that. Especially if it ends up being Dan's child.
RACHEL: [stops and looks at him] Wow. . .you really are thinking
about everything that gets involved with having a child. I must admit,
I'm impressed. [starts walking again] I am really just sinking in
the fact that I'm going to be a mother.
ZAC: Maybe we can say that Dan is the father? Ya know,
just to be safe.
RACHEL: That would be good. Are we going to tell Dan
that?
ZAC: I don't know yet. . .we can tell everyone at your house
that it is most likely me since they already know about the situation.
RACHEL: Sounds good to me. Ya know, Zac, I remember
a few years ago, I would hear about all of these teenagers having kids
and I was totally against it. I thought those teens were throwing
away their lives and were nothing but whores. I never thought that
I would be one of those girls.
ZAC: Rachel, everything is going to be alright. I'm
here for you. And so are Morgan, Tori, Delia, Ike and Tay.
[arrive in front of the Heverling house] Well, here we are.
[WALK IN THE DOOR]
DELIA: [Gives Rachel a hug] How did everything go?
RACHEL: [Zac puts his arms around her] I'm pregnant
TAYLOR: That sucks
ISAAC: Who's the father.
ZAC: Well, we're gonna take a paternity test after the child
is born just to be sure, but . . .
ISAAC: But what?
ZAC: But, Dr. Malone says that I am most likely the father.
MORGAN: [goes to speak] Never mind. . .I was going to mention something
I saw on "The Bold and the Beautiful", but I changed my mind.
TORI: Thank you, Morgan
DELIA: Ike, sweetie
ISAAC: Yes?
DELIA: I think you and Tay should take Zac home and. . .you
know.
ISAAC: Oh, lets go Tay. Come on, Zac.
ZAC: Okay. [They all get up.] [hugs Rachel]
See ya. I'll call you. [They all leave]
DELIA: Come on, lets all go up to my room and talk.
[In Delia's Room]
DELIA: Rae--What happened when you went?
RACHEL: Well--I got checked and I told her about Dan and Zac.
So she asked a whole bunch of questions, then she asked Zac a whole bunch
of questions. Then she just told us.
MORGAN: Wow. Are you okay?
RACHEL: I'm fine, just a little scared.
DELIA: That's understandable.
TORI: How's Zac?
RACHEL: Really calm on the outside--nervous wreck on the inside.
MORGAN: Aww
RACHEL: Listen, due to the fame and all, we're gonna say its
Dan's child.
DELIA: Rachel, are you sure that's what you want to do.
RACHEL: It may not be the way I want it, but it will be the
best way for everyone.
TORI: Well, except for Dan.
MORGAN: Yeah. . .
RACHEL: I know its not fair to Dan. . .but what can I do.
. .
MORGAN: I know, hun. Ya know, when this happened on
"All my Children". ..
DELIA, TORI, RACHEL: [cuts her off] Enough, Morgan
MORGAN: Sorry. Its okay, Rae, I'm here for you
RACHEL: Thanks, Morgan
MORGAN: Sure hun
DELIA: This is gonna be so weird. . .when are you going to
tell Mom and Dad?
RACHEL: I'm not sure.
DELIA: Well, you won't be able to hide it very long
RACHEL: I know, I'll tell them
TORI: Actually, there was this one episode of Jerry Springer.
. .
MORGAN: If I can't comment on my soap operas, I don't want
to hear about talk shows. Yeah--and it had better be soon.
I mean, like Delia said. It'll be difficult to hide it.
RACHEL: Yeah, I know. I guess I should tell her soon.
The longer I wait, the more angry she'll be.
DELIA: Yeah. you're right. I know Mom and it'll probably
be best to tell her early. If you really want to go through with
saying it's Dan's, then tell her that. Don't even mention Zac.
RACHEL: Okay, is Mom home? If I don't do it soon, I
might never be able to.
DELIA: I don't think [pauses as they hear downstairs door
open and Karen calls upstairs to the girls]
KAREN: [from downstairs] I'm home!
DELIA: Never mind [calls down to Karen] Okay!
RACHEL: [inhales deeply, then quickly exhales] Okay,
wish me luck. Here I go. [Walks downstairs to living room where
Karen is sitting reading Cosmopolitan.] Hey Mom. . .
KAREN: Yes, hun?
RACHEL: I need to tell you something important. Now,
before you freak out on me, may I remind you that I am and always have
been a very bright and responsible child. I was and still am a prodigy,
after all.
KAREN: What is it, Rachel?
RACHEL: Oh jeez. . .okay, here I go. I slept with Dan
and now I'm pregnant. [to herself] well, that was easy.
KAREN: You did what?
RACHEL: Oh, Mom! Please don't make me say it again.
Delia is the one who made me get checked and I knew I had to tell you soon,
otherwise you would have been much more angry then you probably are now.
KAREN: Rachel, I must admit I don't know what to say.
RACHEL: You're disappointed in me
KAREN: I never said that
RACHEL: Mom, I am really sorry if I'm disappointing you. .
.it just happened.
KAREN: I thought I would react differently if one of my girls
told me that they were pregnant. I'm not upset, though. I don't
know why, Rachel, but I feel that you're ready and you understand what's
going on.
RACHEL: Yeah, I think I do. I don't really think I'm
mentally prepared, though. I really screwed up.
KAREN: Well, Rachel, I think you're just going to have to
learn from this. Have you told Dan, yet?
RACHEL: Ummm. . .no
KAREN: Well, I think you should soon
RACHEL: Okay. I think I'll call him. [Goes up
to her room] I'm gonna call tell Dan.
MORGAN: Ooo--let me do it.
RACHEL: Why
MORGAN: Well, he is my agent's son. Plus I'm a professional
actress. You must let me do it.
RACHEL: But he's my boyfriend.
MORGAN: Oh come on. Trust me.
RACHEL: Ummm. . .okay, Morgan. If you really want. .
.
MORGAN: Yippie [Grabs phone and dials]
KEN MARSHALL: [on phone] Hello?
MORGAN: Hi, Big K!
KEN: Hey, Morgan. What's up?
MORGAN: Can I talk to Dan?
KEN: Morgan, are you okay?
MORGAN: I'm fine.
KEN: But--you hate Dan.
MORGAN: I know. Its important. C'mon Ken.
KEN: Okay--Dan! Telephone!
DAN: [in background] Who is it?
KEN: Morgan. I think she's ill.
DAN: [cheery] Really?
MORGAN: Daniel Bradley Marshall, you betta check yo'self before
you wreck yo'self.
RACHEL: I love that saying
DAN: Jeez, Morgan, I'm here. What's up.
MORGAN: Listen, Dan, this is a matter of life and death. .
.kinda.
DAN: [happily] You're dying
MORGAN: [dryly] No. This is in regards to Rachel.
I hear you knocked her up.
DAN: What?!
MORGAN: Ya know--ya sent the little soldiers in.
DAN: Huh?
MORGAN: You mean. . .you didn't know Rae was pregnant?
[Tori laughs] [a thud is heard]
KEN: [on phone] What on Earth did you tell him?
MORGAN: What happened to him?
KEN: He passed out.
MORGAN: [happy] Really? Cool!
RACHEL: What happened?
MORGAN: Dan passed out! [Tori laughs harder]
RACHEL: He what? Give me the phone
MORGAN: No
RACHEL: Give me the phone
MORGAN: No!
RACHEL: Give me the phone, woman!
KEN: Morgan?
MORGAN: Quiet! I'm in the middle of a fight. [to
Rae] No, no, no!
KEN: Are you winning?
MORGAN: Shut up!
KEN: That's my girl!
MORGAN: I meant you
KEN: Oh
RACHEL: Morgan Renée Beshore. You Give me the
Phone right now!
MORGAN: You're not my mother, so no!
TORI: Now, Rae. Calm down. you have to be careful
of stress now
RACHEL: You're right. . .Morgan. . .dear. Please give
me the phone.
MORGAN: Let me think. . .NO! My phone!
RACHEL: Morgan, you're acting like a child and I'm gonna lose
my child if you get me stressed out!
KEN: Child? Wait. . .Rae. . .Dan. . .Child? [another
thunk is heard]
MORGAN: [screams] Oh my God!
TORI, DELIA, RACHEL: What?
MORGAN: [yells into the phone] Big K? K?
Ken? Hello Ken? Captain Morgan requesting response from Ken
Marshall. . .This is not good.
TORI, DELIA, RACHEL: What?
MORAN: Big K passed out, too!
RACHEL: Oh that's just great--
[Tori & Delia are laughing so hard that tears are forming]
MORGAN: [starting to cry] Its not funny! What
if he hit his head? What if he's slowly bleeding to death?
I mean, I need Big K. He's so important for. . .what if. . .what
if. . .no, I can't even think about that--its. . .its too gruesome!
RACHEL: Aww, what is? [Delia & Tori are calming
down at the sight of Morgan's pathetic face]
TORI: You can tell us, Morgan
DELIA: Yeah, we're there for you
MORGAN: Okay [takes a deep breath] What if he can't
set up acting gigs for me anymore?
RAE, TORI, DELIA: Morgan!
MORGAN: What? he was so good at that.
RACHEL: Your hopeless
TORI: Maybe we should go check on the. Just to see if
they're okay.
MORGAN: Yeah, I guess you're right.
KAREN: [from downstairs] Morgan! Jesse's here!
MORGAN: Jesse!? My Jesse! Yippie [jumps
up and chucks the phone] [Runs down stairs--girls follow] Jesse!
[gives him a hug and kiss]
JESSE: Hey, baby.
MORGAN: I thought you were going to Paris.
JESSE: I was but I talked my parents into letting me stay.
A whole summer away from you would be so empty. [kisses her]
RAE, DELIA, TORI, MORGAN: Aww. . .
TORI: Hey, what about Dan and Big K
MORGAN: Who?. . .oh! right. . .They'll live [Isaac,
Taylor, and Zac come in]
TAYLOR: Hey, Jesse, my man
ISAAC: Yo, bro
ZAC: Yo, Jay, sup man?
JESSE: Hey amigos [guys do their "handshake"]
Anything new?
ISAAC, TAYLOR, ZAC: Yeah!
}(at the same time){
MORGAN, DELIA, RACHEL, TORI: No!
JESSE: Was that a yes or a no?
MORGAN: A no. Definitely a no.
ISAAC: Aw, come on. He can know.
ZAC: Yeah, Jesse's my man. . .[everyone gives him a strange
look] Well, ya know.
RACHEL: I don't know, Zac.
TAYLOR: Aw, come on. He wouldn't tell. . . [pinches
Jesse's cheeks together. speaks in a baby voice]
JESSE: Taylor, now you're just scaring me.
TAYLOR: [lets go] Oh sorry, man
RACHEL: Okay, but he's the last person
ZAC: Cool with me
RACHEL: Okay, to make a looong story very short, I'm pregnant
and Zac's the father. . .well, he's most likely the father.
JESSE: yeah, Zac. Way to go!
MORGAN: Jesse!
JESSE: Oh sorry. so are you okay, Rae?
RACHEL: yeah, I'm fine but we're saying its Dan's.
JESSE: Ewww, you slept with the Marshall kid? Yuck girl.
MORGAN: Jesse! A little support here.
JESSE: Right. . .I'm here for ya one hundred percent, Rae.
RACHEL: How thoughtful of you, Jesse
JESSE: I know
TORI: Okay, people. We really better go check on the
Marshalls.
ISAAC: What happened to them?
TORI: To make that looong story very short, they both passed
out when Morgan told them about Rae's delicate position [Isaac, Taylor,
Zac and Jesse laugh]
RACHEL: Come on guys. . .
ISAAC: Okay, I'll drive. We'll take the van.
MORGAN: Ewww, not the ugly one
ISAAC: That van is not ugly
RACHEL: Yes it is
ISAAC: Shut up
[All walk out the door arguing--A figure is seen lurking in the
bushes]
[Cut to Marshall house] [Jump out of van. Morgan runs
to the door--lets herself in.]
MORGAN: Big K are you alright?
KEN: Morgan?
MORGAN: Oh Ken, you've got a big bump on your head.
Let me get some ice for you
KEN: Don't you want to know if Dan's alright.
MORGAN: Not really [Jesse, Taylor, Isaac, Delia, Rachel
and Tori walk in]
RACHEL: Is Dan, okay?
MORGAN: Don't know and don't care.
KEN: At least we know she's not sick
DAN: Ow, my head [sees Rachel and faints again.
Taylor catches him.]
TAYLOR: Oh wait. . .this is the Marshall kid. [drops
him]
RACHEL: Taylor! [runs over to Dan] Dan, Dan are
you alright. Speak to me, Dan.
TORI: Rachel Leanne. . .STRESS! Your condition, hint,
hint.
RACHEL: Riight. . .come on Dan, honey, talk to me.
DAN: Hi Rae. . .
RACHEL: Oh he talked! He's okay, oh Danny
ZAC: [offended] fine [Isaac elbows him] ow!
[Jesse claps his hand over his mouth] [Zac struggles but Isaac and Jesse
put him in a body lock--stops struggling--muffled] Sorry.
DAN: Yes, Rae. Listen to Tori. Calm yourself.
RACHEL: Calm myself? how can I calm myself. [starts
breathing heavily]
MORGAN: [In a mother-ish tone.] Now, Rachel, dear, you
aren't having the child yet.
DAN: [groans] Child [starts breathing heavily]
MORGAN: Daniel, you'll never have a child. [pauses]
I hope
DAN, RACHEL: Hey! [look to each other] Child [both
start breathing heavily] [Tori smacks Rachel over the head and Morgan smacks
Dan over the head]
DAN: [rubs head] Ow.
MORGAN: [in a ditzy tone] I've wanted to do that ever
since I met him.
RACHEL: [frowns] Morgan! [hugs Dan] Oh Dan, are
you alright. I was so worried.
MORGAN: I wasn't. . .about Dan, anyway.
DAN: Morgan, one day you're gonna need my help and I won't
give it to you.
MORGAN: Ha! Unlikely!
DAN: Shut up.
[Zac spazes out. Makes his body shake uncontrollably.
Pretends to loose control. Isaac and Jesse let him go.]
ISAAC: Shit!!
JESSE: I can't believe he did that [Zac runs out the door]
DELIA: Clarke Isaac! Language!
ISAAC: Sorry
DELIA: I was so proud of you, but then you went and apologized.
[smacks him]
JESSE: Lets get him! [They run to the door--Isaac and
Jesse. Hear a scream. Zac comes running back in. Jesse,
Isaac and Zac collide.]
ZAC: There's a weird guy out there. he's got big hair
and red eyes, and big teeth and two holes in his head and big teeth.
DELIA: You already said big teeth.
ZAC: Oooh--well, he does. My butt hurts [wipes off his
butt. Rachel stares intently]
DAN: Rachel! [Zac looks up] You were checking him out.
[Zac smiles]
RACHEL: What!? You check out Morgan all the time
MORGAN: [screams] Ewww! [runs out the door--screams
and runs back in] There is a weird guy out there. And he knows
my name! [starts to cry]
JESSE: Aw baby, its okay [holds her]
ZAC: I told you. He has really big teeth.
MORGAN: I didn't see the teeth.
ZAC: Well, neither did I. I just assumed they were there.
MORGAN: His voice squeaked [imitates] Hello Morgan.
And, and. . .it was horrible. And, and he knew my name.
KEN: But he's supposed to know your name. You're a star.
MORGAN: Riight. . .I'm a star [smiles ditzily]
RACHEL: Hey! I thought that I'm the one that's supposed
to get all the attention.
KEN, DAN, ZAC, ISAAC, JESSE, TORI, DELIA, MORGAN, TAYLOR:
Rachel! Stress!
RACHEL: Would you all stop doing that!
DELIA: Lets forget about Morgan's "stalker" and focus on Rachel
TORI: And her "condition"
DAN: Oh, yeah. That.
RACHEL: What do you mean, "that"? Its called a child!
DAN: I know what its called. But now does everyone know
bout me and you. . .ya know.
MORGAN: She told us
DELIA: [Pipes in to make it sound good] When she said
she wasn't feeling well
RACHEL: Yeah, you didn't want me to feel bad, did you.
DAN: Of course not
ZAC: Yeah, rig. . .[Isaac grabs him and puts him in a body
lock again]
ISAAC: Sorry about him. . .he's ummm. . .
TAYLOR: Hungry
MORGAN: [laughs. to herself] hungry. . .
ISAAC: [takes Zac out of house with Taylor] we are taking
him out to eat now, we'll be back later. . .maybe.
MORGAN: did you see that. Oh no! Its my stalker.
Hide! [She ducks under a table]
KEN: I'll get my shot guns
DAN: No one is going to shoot him. . .
DELIA: Its probably a cat or something lurking in the bushes
TORI: Yeah, that's it [scared tone]
RACHEL: Well, back to me again
DAN: Rachel! Stress! We don't want to go through
déjà vu again.
RACHEL: Okay, fine then! I will sit down on the couch.
Is that okay with you, Daniel
DAN: Its fine. [sits down next to her. holds her]
Lets talk about this
RACHEL: Okay
MORGAN: [whispers to Tori] Glad Zac's not here
TORI: ditto
DAN: So, when did you figure out that you might be. . .ya
know--
RACHEL: Can't you say pregnant? What kind of guy are
you if you can't say pregnant.
DELIA: Rachel Leanne
RACHEL: Sorry
MORGAN, TORI: [look to each other] hormones
DAN: Fine, when did you figure out you were pregnant.
RACHEL: Well, I wasn't feeling well in the stomach and I added
some weight
DELIA: When she told us, we figured that she should go get
checked.
RACHEL: And so I went and the Doctor said I was pregnant.
DAN: Okay, well I guess we can go from there.
RACHEL: Sure
TORI: We better go
DELIA: Right
MORGAN: Bye Dan
RACHEL: Bye Dan
DAN: Bye sweetheart
TORI: Oh please
[leave the house and walk to the Hansons' to see if Zac is there]
MORGAN: Oh my! Did you hear that?
TORI: Its probably just a rabbit or something
DELIA: Yeah, don't get all bent out of shape, Morgan. [a dark figure
is watching and listening to them as they walk in the door to the house
through a bush]
MORGAN: Well, at least we're safe now
DELIA: You have so much sarcasm
TORI: That's good for her fans
MORGAN: That's right. . .I'm a star.
[Taylor walks down the stairs]
TAYLOR: Hello ladies
TORI: Hey swee. . .Taylor
DELIA, MORGAN: Hello Tay
RACHEL: Where's Zac?
TAYLOR: Our room
RACHEL: Thanks [leaves and goes to Zac's room]
DELIA: Where is everyone?
TAYLOR: Mom was out with everyone when Zac, Isaac and I got
back from Dan's.
TORI: Oh
DELIA: That was smart to take Zac out of the house
MORGAN: He would have blown up at Dan.
TAYLOR: Oh?
TORI: Yeah, Dan sat down on the couch holding Rae
TAYLOR: [long] Oooohhh
DELIA: Well, I better get home, I have to cook dinner
MORGAN: Me too, my mom wanted to go out to eat
DELIA: Can you send Rachel home when she's done
TAYLOR: Sure
MORGAN: [looks at Tori] Comin' Tori?
TORI: Yeah, just a minute, I'll catch up later
DELIA: Well, I have one block to go and a minute for you is
long, so I will see you tomorrow.
TORI: [laughs] Okay, Peace Out
MORGAN: ditto Tori, Bye or Peace. . .whatever
TORI: It's peace out, Morg. Peace out
MORGAN: Okay, bye
[Delia & Morgan leave house]
[Tori and Taylor are left alone in the living room]
TAYLOR: You wanna sit down?
TORI: Sure [silence]
TAYLOR: There was a reason why you stayed, wasn't there?
TORI: Yes, I don't know what to do about Rachel. Like,
how I'm supposed to help. I've never been a mother.
TAYLOR: Well, I think you should just try and be a friend
first. her mother should help her out with everything else.
TORI: Is that what you are going to do with Zac?
TAYLOR: Yeah, I think so, anyway. I think he is going
to go hysterical soon
TORI: [laughs] Aw, poor Zac. I guess I better
get home.
TAYLOR: I'll walk you home. [imitates Morgan] You never know
what's out there.
TORI: Yeah, really [they walk hand-in-hand to Tori's front
door when suddenly John jumps out from the front door]
JOHN: hey there, people
TAYLOR: Hey buddy
TORI: What are you doing out here?
JOHN: Mom was looking for you?
TAYLOR: [laughs] What did you do now?
TORI: John, tell mom that I will be right in
JOHN: Okay, bye Taylor
TAYLOR: Bye John
TORI: Sorry about him, but I guess that's expected with family.
How do you handle yourself, Tay?
TAYLOR: Patience. That's all it is. Patience
TORI: Oh, well, I'll see ya tomorrow
TAYLOR: [Gives her a hug and kisses her forehead] See
ya, sweetheart. [tori goes inside and shuts the door. tay walks
home]
[Meanwhile, Rachel is up in Zac's room]
ZAC: Sorry, Rachel, I didn't mean to get so upset. I
just really care about you, so seeing you and Dan together. . .it makes
me kind of crazy.
RACHEL: That's so sweet. Look, its not too late to pull
back and tell Dan the truth.
ZAC: I'd love to do that, but we just can't.
RACHEL: I feel horrible doing this to you. I care about
you but I can't be with you and Dan at the same time.
ZAC: I know, I'll try to control myself. I really wish
that there was another way.
RACHEL: Me too. I better go before my mom figures us
out [hums 'Mission Impossible' theme]
ZAC: [smiles] Bye, Rae. [They hug and Rachel leaves]
