PART 2E
 [Once again at the "lair" of Mac Douglas]
MAC:  You know what, Morgan?
MORGAN:  No, what
MAC:  [walks up to Morgan who is still tied to the chair.  He slides his hands up and down her arms as he stands behind her. He leans over and whispers]  They don't even realize my greatest pleasure is to see my self credited on T.V. and in the news for my for work.  I will be remembered for this.
MORGAN:  [sarcastic]  That must make you feel really proud
MAC:  Oh it does [stands back up and circles the chair]
MORGAN:  You're gonna get caught
MAC:  Oh--I plan on it.  But not before I--oh, so sorry, we have a little fun.
[In Isaac's van:  Isaac, Taylor, Delia, Rachel, Zac, Tori, Luke, Dan.  Isaac is driving.  Delia in passenger seat.  Middle seat, L-R:  Taylor, Tori, Luke. Back seat, L-R:  Dan, Rachel, Zac.]
DAN:  This is stupid
ZAC:  No comment
LUKE:  It's not stupid.  I feel like a detective in one of those old black and white movies.
DAN:  Well, I'm sure Zac feels like one of Charlie's Angels.
ZAC:  That was lame
DAN:  [taunting]  No comment
RACHEL:  Ugh
TAYLOR:  Would you two shut up.  Really!
ISAAC:  I know, I'm sick of it, too.
TORI:  Yeah, I'll admit it--I've had just about enough of the Marshall kid for one day.
DAN:  Victoria, no one cares
DELIA:  I do--cause I agree
RACHEL:  You guys, knock it off.  I like Dan.
DAN:  [under breath]  See
ZAC:  [flashes death glare to Dan] What about me
RACHEL:  I like you, too
ZAC:  See
DAN:  Rachel, you know you're gonna have to choose
RACHEL:  Now?
DAN:  No, not now.  But eventually
TAYLOR:  That's so unfair.  I would hat to be you.  I totally sympathize with you.
RACHEL:  Thank you, Taylor
TAYLOR:  You're welcome
DAN:  You hittin' on my woman
ZAC:  Your woman?
DAN:  Yes, my woman.
ZAC:  No, no, honey--I think you're mistaken
DAN: Did you just call me honey
ZAC:  So what if I did?
DAN:  Ewww, man--gross.  You're a freak.
RACHEL:  Now, Daniel
ISAAC:  Do I have to pull over?
LUKE:  NO!  If we pull over who knows what could happen to Morgan during the delay.  I fear its already too late.
DAN:  Good.  Maybe she's dead and my dad can take on the Olsen twins instead.
ZAC:  [jumps over Rachel and punches him]  Don't you be talking about the Olsen twins like that
RACHEL:  [through her teeth]  Zac. . .
ZAC:  That Mary-Kate, she's a cutie
RACHEL:  [through her teeth]  Zac. . .
ZAC:  I own all their movies. . .
RACHEL: [through her teeth] Zac. . .
ZAC:  The mysteries, and the ones when they're little and the newer ones. . .
RACHEL:  [through her teeth]  Zac. . .!
ZAC:  And I watch 'Two of a Kind' every day. . .
RACHEL:  Zac!!
ZAC:  What?!  I'm talking about my beloved Mary-Kate. . .
RACHEL:  Get off of me!
ZAC:  Oh [gets off]  Sorry. . .my beloved Rachel  [smiles]
DAN:  [punches Zac]  This is for punching me
ZAC:   [punches him]  This is for punching me back
[get into huge fight.  Rachel gets scared and climbs onto Taylor's lap.  Isaac is yelling at them to stop it.  Tori & Luke are cheering Zac on.  Everyone is screaming until Delia shrieks.]
DELIA:  Isaac!  [Isaac turns around to see a tree coming straight at him]
ISAAC:  Shit!  [slams on the breaks]  [The van stops just short of the tree]  Is everyone okay, is everyone okay!!!
DAN, ZAC: No!
ISAAC:  Well, that's debatable, but Shut up!  Luke help me check out the van
TAYLOR:  Why can't I
ISAAC:  Because you don't know anything about vehicles
TAYLOR:  Oh  [Isaac and Luke get out and Luke switches on his tiny little pen flashlight.]
[Walk out to see they only missed the tree by an inch]
ISAAC:  Shit!  Hey man, what's wrong.  You didn't make any smart remarks.
LUKE:  I'm scared for her, Ike
ISAAC:  Morgan?
LUKE:  Yeah, we don't know if she's scared or hurt or whether she's even alive
ISAAC:  I didn't even know you knew her
LUKE:  Well, I didn't until we met during a convention in Tokyo.  We talked the entire day and at the party we danced all night long, but then she had to leave.  I never thought that I'd see her again, but then I come back to the states and find out that she's missing.  I think I feel in love with her that day.
ISAAC:  Geez, man, I had no idea
LUKE:  Yeah, well, no one does.  We have to find her.  She's probably screaming for help and no one hears her. . .  [scream from van]  Morgan!
ISAAC:  [calm and voice distant]  No, that was Rae. . .
LUKE:  Rae?
ISAAC:  [alarmed]  Rae!  [run back to the van--get in]  What's wrong?
RACHEL:  [screaming]  I'm in labor, bastard!
ISAAC:  Are you sure?  Taylor did you have an accident.
TAYLOR:  No, her water broke.  But you might have an accident when I accidentally hurt you.
RACHEL:  Give me drugs. . .I need drugs!!!
ISAAC:  But we don't have any. . .
TAYLOR:  I do
ISAAC:  Shut up, Jordan
TAYLOR:  Did you hear that?!  He called me Jordan!
RACHEL:  Newsflash, Tay.  That's your name
TAYLOR:  But I don't like that name
RACHEL:  Well, I don't like Rachel either, but do you hear me complaining
TAYLOR:  Um. . .yes  [Rachel goes for his neck]  Ike, drive!  Drive!
[Isaac steps on the gas and runs into the tree.  Everyone stops and Isaac slowly backs up and turns, then steps on the gas and drives them to the hospital.]  [Drop Zac & Rachel off at the hospital and pull away]
[Walk into registration]
NURSE:  [cheery, smiling] What seems to be the problem
RACHEL:  Hi. . .[yells]  What do you think seems to be the problem?
NURSE:  [cheery, smiling] Are you hear about the weight loss program
RACHEL:  I need drugs!
NURSE: [cheery, smiling] Now drugs are no way to stop your eating problem
RACHEL:  Listen, Barbie.  I don't have an eating problem.  I am, however, pregnant and I want my freaking drugs!  [Grabs the nurse by the collar]  Do we understand each other.
NURSE: [cheery, smiling] Oh--of course.  [Hands her a stack of papers.]  Now, just fill these out.  Name?
RACHEL:  Rachel Heverling  [looks at papers]  What do you mean 'What's my great-grandmother's maiden name'?  [Doctor comes down the hallway]
DR.. MALONE:  Hello Rachel
RACHEL:  Drugs!
DR.. MALONE:  Oh--is it time?
RACHEL:  Ya think?
DR.. MALONE:  Now, Rachel, I don't appreciate that tone  [Rachel sits in wheelchair.  Wheels herself down the hallway.]
RACHEL:  Come on, Dr. Malone  [screams] Drugs!

KAREN:  Uh--yes?

KAREN:  Zac.  You called me collect?
ZAC:  Well, I didn't have any change.
KAREN:  You make so much money with your albums and you can't afford a 35 cent call.
ZAC:  Um--yeah.
KAREN:  You're pathetic
ZAC:  Thanks
KAREN:  You're welcome.
ZAC:  Now--how old are Robbie and Joey
KAREN: Why?
ZAC:  Well, cause I'm filling out these papers for Rae at the hospital and. . .Karen?  Karen?  How rude!  She hung up on me!
JOEY:  Hii!

JOEY:  She ran out to the car. . .and it squealed!
ZAC:  Crap!
JOEY: Crap? What crap?  Where's crap?  There's crap?
ZAC:  [hangs up]
[Back to the Van]
TORI:  What if we can't find her?
LUKE:  We will find her, keep your eyes open for any clues.
DELIA:  Ugh. . .Ike, where are we
ISAAC:  In a very "secluded" part of town
DELIA:  We're lost, aren't we?  You lost us!
ISAAC:  We're not lost
DAN:  [wakes up]  What?. . .where's Rachel?
DELIA:  She's at the hospital
DAN:  What!?
DELIA: Don't worry, Zac's with her
DAN:  What!?
TORI:  Shut up  [punches him]
DELIA:  [screams]  Isaac! Stop!
ISAAC:  What! What is it!
DELIA:  That car!  I remember that car! That's his car!
ISAAC:  Okay, people, everyone out  [All get out cept Dan. Taylor examines the car]
TAYLOR:  Nice. . .Good make, nice body
LUKE:  Taylor!  Think of Morgan!
TAYLOR:  Morgan's got a nice body too
LUKE: Taylor!  [hits him]
TAYLOR:  What was that for?  [Luke shrugs]
TORI:  Well lets go save her!
LUKE:  Wait, we need a plan of attack.
[Cut inside to Morgan and Mac]
MAC:  Honey, I'm home
MORGAN:  Oh great  [Mac comes up behind her and puts his hand over her mouth]
MAC:  Okay, I've had enough of your crap.  I've been really nice to you now its your turn to be really nice to me.
MORGAN:  [getting scared]  What are you implying?
MAC:  You know what I mean [comes around in front of her and starts sliding his hands slowly over her body.  Morgan stands rigid.]  Come on, loosen up.
MORGAN: Please don't do that
MAC:  Don't?  What?  Do this?  [unsnaps her jeans]
MORGAN:  Mac, please
MAC:  I've been waiting a long time for this
MORGAN:  For what?  I can't give you anything, I'm young, I'm not experienced. . .
MAC:  Then we'll have to do something about that, won't we  [slides his hands up her shirt then takes her shirt off]
MORGAN:  [starts to cry]  Please, Mac, don't hurt me
MAC:  I won't hurt you, I just want some
MORGAN:  Ah! Mac, No!  Please no!
MAC:  [moves his face closer]  Aww, what's wrong
MORGAN:  I'm scared
MAC:  Good. . .[tightens his grip on her arms and kisses her.  Morgan tries to struggle away but he knocks her on the floor.  He puts his knee on her stomach so she can't move then takes off her pants.  Keeps kissing her wherever.]
MORGAN:  [screams]  Help!  Help me!  Please someone help me!
LUKE:  Morgan!  Morgan, hang on!  [bursts through the door]  Morgan!  Get off her! [pushes Mac off Morgan and they start fighting]
MORGAN:  Oh my God!
LUKE:  Morgan, Run!  [Luke punches Mac hard]  Hurry!  Get out of here.  That's not going to hold him long
MORGAN:  Luke?
LUKE:  Oh here [takes off his coat and puts it around her]
MORGAN:  How?
LUKE:  Never mind, we have to get you out of here.  Come on [tries to take her hand but she pulls it away]
MORGAN: I can't
LUKE:  You have to trust me [holds out his hand]
MORGAN:  Don't. . .[looks back, screams]  He's awake!
LUKE:  Come on, follow me [he screams]  Run!  [They run down a series of hallways]
MORGAN:  [screams]  Ah!  NO!  Leave me alone!  NO!  Luke!  [Luke turns around and starts punching Mac]
LUKE:  Run!  Morgan!  Run outside!  Don't look back!  [Morgan runs followed by Luke being chased by Mac][As soon as all three get outside, Taylor drives the car into the wall of the building.]
MAC:  My car!
TAYLOR:  Hey man, I'm sorry.  I couldn't control it
MAC:  No matter, I'll just take Morgan back now [walks toward her.]
MORGAN:  [screams]  No!  No!  Please leave me alone.  No!  [Luke lunges toward him and Taylor hold up a gun]
 TAYLOR:  Hey!  Leave her alone!
MAC:  Be careful, that things loaded
TAYLOR:  Well, then leaver her alone and I won't shoot
MAC:  [pauses] [then grabs Morgan--Morgan is crying]  You won't do it  [Luke grabs Morgan.  Taylor pulls trigger at same time--shoots Mac in the thigh]
TAYLOR:  [Mac crawls after him]  It slipped!  It was an accident!  [Mac starts hobbling toward Morgan--Luke punches him in the nose and that's the end of Mac.  Morgan collapses on the ground sobbing.  Luke kneels beside her and she cringes away but Luke wraps her in his arms and they both cry while the rest stand around them]  Hey, Morgan, are you gonna be okay?  [Morgan doesn't answer]  [Delia and Tori walk over to her]
MORGAN:  [Looks from Delia to Tori]  Where's Rae?  [Everyone stops to think]
DAN:  [comes out of the van]  The hospital.  Where are we?  [sees mac]  What happened to him?
LUKE:  Loong story. . .[looks at Morgan]  Um. . .Morgan. . . [she smiles weakly]
DELIA:  We need out get back to the hospital for Rae  start getting in the van]
MORGAN: Tori, Delia, don't leave me!  [she climbs in after them]  [They drive to the hospital]
[Earlier that day. . .] [Karen pulls into hospital parking lot.  runs in to find Zac in tears]
KAREN:  Zac, what's the matter?
ZAC:  I don't even know her!
KAREN:  Who?

KAREN:  Zachary
ZAC:  Karen
KAREN:  Zachary
ZAC:  This could go on forever, ya know  [Nurse comes around corner]
NURSE: [cheery, smiling]  Zac, Rachel wants you
ZAC:  She said that?!
NURSE:  [cheery, smiling]  Actually, she said to get that little blond dick who impregnated her so she could kill him
KAREN:  Aww, Zac, see, she wants you
ZAC:  No, Karen, don't make me go
KAREN:  Zachary
ZAC: Fine!  But if she kills me, I want a nice, simple funeral.  Lillies and a nice comfortable coffin. . .make sure Mary-Kate Olsen is there. . .

ZAC:  [screams]  Ow!
RACHEL: [breathing heavily]  Sorry
DR.. MALONE:  It won't be long now
RACHEL:  [screams again] [yanks Zac's hair]
ZAC:  [screams]  Stop!
[Back at waiting area][Taylor, Isaac, Delia, Tori, Morgan, Dan, Luke enter hospital]
KAREN:  Morgan!  [jumps up]
DELIA:  Where's Rae?
TAYLOR:  And Zac?
[screaming from down the hall]
ZAC:  Damn it, Rae, let go!
RACHEL:  You bastard, you're gonna pay for what you've done to me!
DELIA:  Never mind.
DAN:  Glad its him back there getting mutilated and not me
TAYLOR: It wouldn't make much of a difference on your part
DAN:  Shut up
KAREN:  Okay, boys, that's enough. I'll be back.  [goes to pay phone]
JESSE:  Hello? Hello?!
KAREN:  Jesse, this is Karen
JESSE:  Oh--its just you
KAREN:  Nice to hear from you, too.  We have Morgan here with us.
JESSE:  Morgan!
SHARON:  Morgan?!  Where?
KAREN:  At the hospital.
SHARON:  Morgan--I'm coming baby!
KAREN:  No--wait!  [dial tone]  Morgan, honey, what happened
TAYLOR:  It was the guy with the big teeth
MORGAN:  They weren't real
TAYLOR:  Aww, wait 'til Zac hears this
LUKE:  Tay shot him
KAREN:  What?!
TAYLOR:  Well, well. . .I liked his car
KAREN:  So you shot him?
TAYLOR:  I'm not finished.  Okay  [Sharon, Jesse, and Marck and the police force run in]  Damn it!  I'm trying to tell a story here.
SHARON:  Where is he?  Oh, Morgan, baby.  [Sharon and Marck run over to Morgan and hug her]
LUKE:  Taylor shot him
OFFICER RILEY: What!
TAYLOR:  Okay, I'll tell you, but no more interruptions
OFFICER RILEY:  Fair enough
TAYLOR:  I liked his car, so I hot wired it.  I drove it, by accident, into the wall of the building just as he, Luke and Morgan were coming out.  He yelled at me, and then he was gonna hurt Morgan
MORGAN:  again
TAYLOR: Yeah, right, so I found this gun in his car. I though I would get it out and scare him with it so he would leave us all alone.  Then it slipped and I pulled the trigger and shot him in the thigh.  I didn't mean to do it.  But Luke killed him!
LUKE:  It was self defense
OFFICER RILEY:  I'm afraid we'll have to hear the story from Morgan as well  [Morgan bursts into tears]
LUKE:  Not now.
[Diana and Walker walk in with their kids and more cops]
DIANA:  We got a call from Sharon telling us to bring the police force
TAYLOR:  Hi, Mom
DIANA:  Hi sweetie
MORGAN:  Hi Diana
DIANA:  Oh, Morgan, you look terrible
MARCK:  No, she looks beautiful
OFFICER RILEY:  Your son shot him
DIANA:  Shot who?
OFFICER RILEY:  The man who kidnaped Morgan
MORGAN:  Uh-huh
DIANA:  Isaac, how many times do I have to tell you that guns are not toys.
ISAAC:  Actually, Mom, it was Tay.
DIANA:  Oh--Tay, honey, are you alright.  You must have been through a lot.
TAYLOR:  I'm fine, Mom.
[Zac walks in the waiting room.  His hair is matted and he looks like he isn't quite all there.]
ZAC:  Hi
DIANA:  Honey, what happened to you?
ZAC:  Whoa
TAYLOR:  Whoa?
ZAC:  That was weird, but it was cool
AVERY:  Eww. . .you're all yucky
ZAC:  Yeah, I know
ISAAC:  What happened
ZAC: Its a girl
TAYLOR:  What's a girl
ZAC:  Ember. . .
DELIA:  You mean. . .
KAREN:  Rachel. . .
ROB:  Just had the baby!
ZAC:  Yeah--
WALKER:  Oh, that is traumatizing.  I remember how I was after Isaac was born
ROB: Oh, I know.  I was really out of it after Delia was born.  It certainly is traumatizing. . .I can vouch for that.  And Zachary is so young
DIANA:  You two be quiet. Sweetie, are you okay?
ZAC:  That was so weird
DIANA: Oh--honey  [hugs Zac.  Dr. Malone comes in]
DR.. MALONE:  I'm sure Zac told you its a girl.  She's 6 pounds 7 ounces.  Mother and child are doing fine.
TAYLOR:  Wow--Rae's a mommy.
DAN:  [to Zac] And that means. . .
ZAC:  That either you or I is a father.
DAN:  Yeah--wow.
ZAC:  Her name is Ember Carisma Heverling
DAN:  Heverling?
ZAC:  Yeah, until she knows who the father is
NURSE:  Zac?
ZAC:  Yeah?
NURSE:  Rachel asked me to give you this [hands Zac a piece of paper.  Zac reads it]
DELIA:  What does it say
ZAC:  Rae wants me to sign the birth certificate
DAN:  What about me?
ZAC:  I don't know--she didn't mention you
TAYLOR:  Are you gonna do it?
ZAC:  yeah--I think I will.
DAN: But. . .
DIANA:  [interrupts him] Good for you, Zac to take responsibilities for your actions.
ZAC: [looking at the paper]  yeah, okay, Mom.  I'll be back  [heads to Rachel's room.  Knocks on door]
RACHEL:  Hello
ZAC: [looks in]  Hi, Mommy
RACHEL:  Hey, Zac  [Zac enters room] Hey, Dad, wanna hold your daughter
ZAC:  So, you've decided who the father is, I see
RACHEL:  Well, it may not be biological for certain, but I want you in Ember's life.  I should have made my decision long ago, Zac.  I should have followed my heart sooner
ZAC:  Oh--that's so sweet.  I think that's the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me.  What are we gonna do about Dan
RACHEL:  Well, Ember might biologically be her father, so if he is, he can see her. Otherwise, we're not going to do anything.  That was a mistake.  Ya know, a one night stand sort of thing.  I'm really sorry for that. . .well, unless Ember is his.  Then I guess it would be a blessing, huh.
ZAC:  Yeah. . .Its okay.  [takes Ember out of her arms]  She's beautiful. ..she looks like you
RACHEL:  You too  [Rachel and Zac smile at one another]
[In the waiting room]
DIANA: Well, I'm gonna go in and see how they are.  Well, that and I want to see my potential grand daughter.
KAREN:  I'll go with, all of you guys go home.  We'll be home and Rachel and Ember will be with us.
NURSE: Tomorrow--Rachel can go home tomorrow.
ROB:  Okay--well, I wanna see her.
KAREN:  Tomorrow, dear.  Diana and I will stay here tonight with Rachel and Ember and probably Zac.  We'll all meet at the Hansons' tomorrow.
DIANA:  Yeah, and you be sure to make Rachel comfortable.  [Walker and Diana hug.  Diana hugs her kids.  Karen and Rob hug and she hugs kids.  They all say goodbye.]
ROB:  You be sure to take care of our daughter and grand daughter.
KAREN:  I will, I love you Rob.
ROB:  Love you, too.  Bye, hun.
KAREN:  Bye
[all leave]
DIANA:  Hey, Karen
KAREN: Yeah?
DIANA:  Come on, lets go see that little baby girl  [Karen and Diana walk to Rachel's room.  Rachel is sitting on the bed holding Ember.]
DR.. MALONE:  Zac, you can sign the birth certificate tomorrow right before you all leave.
ZAC:  Okay
RACHEL: Hi Mom
KAREN:  Hi, Mom, yourself.  Oh--she's so cute
DIANA:  Aww. . .let me see her.
ZAC:  Mom, don't scare her.
DIANA:  I'm not going to scare her. . .I'm raising 7 kids, okay.  I'm not gonna frighten Ember.  You all turned out fine.
RACHEL:  Diana, have you met some of your kids?  I definitely think the word 'fine' is debatable.  I mean, Taylor is far from fine.
DIANA:  Rachel, I know my kids are a little odd, but I'm trying to make a point here.  Work with me.
RACHEL:  Sorry.  I'm so tired.  I think I'm gonna go to bed and sleep for a year.
DIANA:  You do that
KAREN:  Yeah, sweetheart.  Lay back and go to sleep.  Dr. Malone is taking Ember.  Diana, Zac and I will be here all night and until you leave tomorrow. We sent everyone home.  They all wanted to see you, but I told them that they could wait.  You're Daddy will be waiting for you tomorrow at the Hansons'.  Don't think they all snubbed you.
RACHEL:  Okay.  I was wondering why no one came in.
DIANA:  Well, we figured that you would be really tired and your Dad understood.
RACHEL:  Yeah, I am.  [lays her head back on her pillow and closes her eye.  Zac kisses her forehead]
ZAC:  Goodnight, Rae
RACHEL: 'Night, Zaccy
DIANA:  [teary eyed]  I need something to eat.  Wanna come, Karen
KAREN:  [teary eyed]  Sure  [to Diana, quietly]  That's so sweet.
DIANA:  [teary eyed]  I know  [both leave room]
[Next day at hospital.  Zac signing birth certificate.  Rachel holding Ember.] [Diana came and knock on door]
ZAC:  [signing it]  Who is it?
DIANA, KAREN:  Your mothers
RACHEL:  Come on it  [They enter]
DIANA:  Awww. . .she is so cute.  I can't get over how incredibly cute she is.  [takes Ember from Rachel's arms]
KAREN:  I still can't believe I'm a grand mother.  I'm not that old [laughs]  How are you doing today, sweetie.
RACHEL:  Pretty good. Tired, aching, exhausted. I think you get the picture.  I'm allowed to go home as soon as we get the papers signed.
ZAC:  All done.
DIANA:  Okay, then, lets go
DR.. MALONE: And this time, we'll roll Rachel down the hallway.
RACHEL:  You mean I can't roll myself.
DR..  MALONE:  Yeah, that's what I mean.
RACHEL:  Darn, oh well.  Lets go.  [Dr. Malone rolls Rachel down the hallway.  Diana, Karen and Zac follow. Zac holding Ember]  [leave hospital]
[Pull up to Hanson house] [Everybody in the house sitting around in living room waiting for them to arrive]
TAYLOR:  I hear a car in the driveway
DELIA:  [everyone jumps up]  Now remember, Rachel is probably tired and cranky, so be quiet.  And be nice, too.  And. . .
ISAAC:  Okay, Delia, enough
DELIA:  Well, just be quiet
[Rachel enters room with Diana, Karen and Zac holding Ember.]
DELIA:  [screams]  Oh she is so cute!!
ISAAC:  Well, that was quiet [rolls his eyes]  [everyone laughs]
DELIA:  Shut up, Isaac.  Oh--she is adorable.
TAYLOR:  Rachel, you sit right here next to me and Zac.
RACHEL:  Okay, thanks
DIANA:  Rachel, would you mind if we passed Ember around to everyone to hold.
ZAC:  Um. . .n [Rachel cuts him off]
RACHEL: Well, sure, why not. Just be gentle.  If you hurt my baby, I will kick your ass. [Rachel passes Ember to Taylor]
TAYLOR:  Aww, she's so cute.  And she really does look like you two.  [Ember starts crying] Okay, nice baby.  Now she's cranky. [hands her to Isaac]
ISAAC:  Oh, thanks, bro.
TAYLOR:  [smiles]  No problem
ISAAC:  She's so little.  Um. . .Delia, you can have her now
DELIA:  Okay, you just don't want her crying while you have her.  You have to be a girl to know what to cute.  [to Ember in a cutsie baby voice]  Aww, aren't you so cute.  Yes you are.
ISAAC:  Okay, Delia don't scare her.  You can pass her on, now.  Besides, I don't want you getting any ideas in your head.
[everyone laughs]  [Delia passes her to Morgan]
MORGAN:  She has big teeth, like Mac.  Take her away from me
ZAC:  Morgan, she doesn't have any teeth.  She's a baby.
MORGAN:  Oh--I guess I imagined them.
KAREN:  [takes Ember away from her]  Okay, Morgan's lost it.  We'll get to your little story a little after we pass Ember
ZAC:  you make her sound like a potato
[Ember passed to everyone in room.]
RACHEL: [holding Ember]  Where's Dan?
ISAAC:  He got pissed and left when he heard about Zac signing the birth certificate yesterday.  I dunno what happened after that
ZAC:  Ha
RACHEL: [giggles.  trying to be serious]  Zac
DIANA:  Okay, now that Ember is back to her mother, we can talk about Morgan's day
MORGAN:  [sarcastic]  Oh goody
TAYLOR:  Here we go again
MORGAN:  Hey, I'm a star.  I don't have to put up with this.  I could just leave and you won't even hear the story
TAYLOR:  Okay
MORGAN:  You are a bad bad man
TAYLOR:  You would think that this experience would have changed her
DIANA:  Taylor.  Sorry, Morgan.  Go ahead and tell your story honey
MORGAN: Well, maybe I don't want to now since Taylor was unkind to me.
TAYLOR:  Sorry, Morgan  [under breath]  not really
DIANA: Taylor!  You make one more comment and I'm sending you are going to be sent to you room
TAYLOR:  Well then, Morgan, if you. . .
DIANA:  Don't even try it, Taylor.  You are going to stay here and listen.
TAYLOR:  Mom, I don't want to hear this.  Its not a nice situation. . .and Morgan is my friend.  I don't want to hear what that jerk did to my friend.
MORGAN:  Taylor. . .I really need to talk about this.  If you aren't comfortable. . .I mean, I'm touched that that is the reason you don't want to hear it.
TAYLOR: Ya know what, go ahead, Morgan.  Tell the story.  I'll listen.
MORGAN:  Okay. . .Well, as you all know, it was Mac Dougl. . .[fade away to next scene.]
