Return to New York by Sharon
Chapter Five
Natalie: You're WHAT?
Jessica: Natalie, please listen. It's not how it appears.
Natalie: Then HOW THE HELL CAN YOU MY DEAR SISTER BE CARRYING HIS CHILD? HOW? HOW CAN YOU DO THIS TO ME?
Cristian: She didn't do anything, Nat. You had just married Mitch. She had just lost Seth. We both wound up in some bar drowning our sorrows.
Natalie: (to Jessica) You? In a bar? I really can't picture that.
Jessica: It wasn't a pretty sight, believe me. But when you and Cristian got back together I agreed to bow out. That's why I left town. I really couldn't promise not to throw myself at him again because I couldn't stop thinking about him. And I refused to do that do you. But when I found out I was pregnant, things had to change.
Natalie: Yeah, I guess. There must be a reason why your telling me this. I know you wouldn't hurt me unless you had to. So what is it this time? What is this life or death situation.
Cristian: Our daughter. Natalie, she needs a transplant. That means we have to give her a brother or sister.
Natalie: Oh my god. I don't believe this.
Jessica: Natalie?
Natalie: No. I hope you'll be very happy. You have my blessing. (She runs away in tears)
Cristian: Natalie. Wait. Can't we discuss this?
Natalie: Theirs nothing to discuss. We're over.
After she leaves, Jessica goes to Cristian.
Jessica: I'm sorry, Cristian. You know I hate what my problems have done to you.
Cristian: We'll get through them together angel. We always do.
Jessica: You ready to get started.
Cristian: Can you give me an hour? If we're going to conceive a baby, I want it to be special. This time, its not going to be some drunken tyrst.
Jessica: Your so sweet.
Cristian: I know. See you in an hour.
Jessica: See you in an hour.
