This scene opens up with Edmund and Brooke in her Tempo office. They are in a meeting discussing some of the articles for the next magazine. Brooke is behind her desk and Edmund is sitting right beside her.
Brooke: Has Aunt Phoebe submitted her "Dear Phoebe" letters for next months issue yet?
Edmund: (Edmund rifles through some folders) Yes, she gave them to me last night after dinner. She is really excited about this months article.
Brooke: Is it good, did you read it yet? Edmund: (Edmund smiling and jokes) Yes, one letter is about how a woman should listen to her nosey family members when it comes to nailing down a wedding date to marry the love of her life.
Brooke: (Brooke laughs and gives him a soft kiss on the lips) Can we be serious for just one moment and get this finished? We have put this issue off long enough.
Edmund: Okay, serious....well priorities first...do you think we could play hooky later on today at the Pine Cone?
Brooke: Edmund!
Edmund: Alright future wife and slave driver... when is the final draft due for my expose on Senator Touchy Feely?
Brooke: (Brooke opens up her calendar) Im going to say its due on Wednesday.(She has a huge grin on her face) I have be finished editing it by Friday and you know how much I love to butcher your stories. That takes time. Brooke does a double take and looks again at the calendar she realizes she is more than late, she has completely missed a monthly visitor. Her face goes blank.)
Edmund: I know, it looked like you cut a finger off and bled all over my last article. You are evil with that stupid red pen. (Brooke didnt hear a word that Edmund said. Edmund realized she is in her own world.) So Brooke, I was thinking about blue tuxs with the ruffly shirts for the grooms men. And pink bow ties. But I will be wearing a black tux, cause I really want to make sure I am the best looking man at my own wedding.
Brooke: That sounds fine. (She is still staring at the calendar and counting on her fingers.)
Edmund: And I think we should just have brownies instead of a wedding cake. And chocolate chip cookies. The kids love your brownies.
Brooke: Okay if you think that is best. (Brooke is oblivious to him)
Edmund: Brooke! Brooke! Hey what are you dreaming about baby? (He finally gets her attention)
Brooke: Oh I am sorry...I just realized I completely blew off an appointment. I have to leave right now. (She starts getting her things together)
Edmund: Well what about... (He is cut off by Brooke.)
Brooke: I am really late...for an appointment. Um, I have to go.
Edmund: (They stand up together) Well can you call me when you are finished and we can meet somewhere for lunch? What is this about?
Brooke: That sounds great. (She kisses Edmunds lips and quickly walks out the door.)
Later Brooke is with Jake Martin in the lobby of the hospital.
Brooke: Thanks again for getting me in to see the doctor without an appointment. I really appreciate it.
Jake: Well whats the point of being Chief of Staff if you cant use your doctors to do favors for family and friends? I am really happy for you Brooke, and everything is going to be fine.
Brooke: Thank you Jake. I better get going, I will see you soon.
(She gives Jake a kiss on the cheek and gets into the elevator dialing her cell phone to call Edmund.) (Phone Conversation, Brooke is excited and talking a little faster that normal.)
Brooke: Edmund, its me, lets do lunch. I have great news to tell you.
Edmund: What is it? Did you meet with the Senator...You found out who the Senators girlfriend is?
Brooke: Maybe I have her name, maybe I dont, meet me at the Valley Inn in 15 to find out. I love you so much Edmund, so much. Bye.
(Edmund looks at his phone, shrugs his shoulders and gets ready to meet up with Brooke.) (At the Valley Inn) (Brooke has the biggest smile on her face while she walks over to Edmund. Edmund stands up, pulls out her chair, and gives Brooke a kiss on the lips that lasts moments while he holds her around her waist. They both sit down.)
Edmund: Who was this...oh so important appointment with this morning? Did you get an exclusive? You dont smile like that unless you scooped me on my own story...or you have got really big news. Baby, look at you, you are practically glowing.
Brooke: You have no idea. I have got huge news Edmund. (They look at eachother, but their is silence.)
Brooke: What do you say we go upstairs?
Edmund: (Edmunds face goes from smile to sexually interested) You mean get a room? Are you serious, because I have been thinking about what you did to me last night...all morning long. (He starts to talk fast.) Meet me upstairs in a few minutes. (Edmund leans over to Brooke and kisses her, then he gets up and races to go get a suite.)
(Brooke walks in the room, where Edmund is waiting for her. He has a bottle of champaign on ice with two glasses poured, and the lights dimmed just a bit. Edmund hands Brooke the glass, which she thinks about sipping, but then puts the glass down.)
Edmund: (Edmund watches her put the glass down and wonders if he misunderstood Brooke and she wanted a room to talk shop in private because of her big story. He looks a little dissapointed) Oh, I am sorry, I didnt think we came here to talk about work. I thought you wanted to, you know, I thought...I assumed you wanted some afternoon romance.
Brooke: (Brooke smiles at him and puts her arms around his neck.)Dont worry I'm not here to talk about work Edmund.
Edmund: Oh...good.(He smiles then leans in to give her a long romantic kiss. He puts his hands on her shoulders and starts kissing her neck.)
Brooke: I have got more important stuff to talk about. News, about us. (Edmund slowly keeps kissing her neck, cheek, and ear, and rubbing the small of her back trying to get her shirt untucked.)
Edmund: (Without missing a kiss) Did you finally pick out a day to get hitched? (He is still kissing her all over and is unsuccessfully trying to unbotton her blouse one handed.) Tricky buttons.
Brooke: (Brooke has her eyes closed and is enjoying every kiss and touch Edmund has to give her.) No, its way bigger than that.
Edmund: (He stops kissing her and looks into her eyes with a small grin) Yeah um, what could be bigger news than the day you become Mrs. Edmund Grey?
Brooke: (Brooke smiles and stares into his eyes) How about the day I tell Mr. Edmund Grey I am going to have his baby?
(Edmund steps back with his hands on Brookes shoulders and looks at her, his jaw slightly dropped in amazement. There is a moment of silence, then Edmund smiles.)
Edmund: Im sorry baby, what did you just say?
Brooke: (She puts her hands on his face) I said...(she is a little choked up) I am going to have your baby
Edmund.
Edmund: Youre...you are pregnant? (Edmunds eyes are glossing over, they are holding eachother close.)
Brooke: Yes. (Edmunds face turns to worry for a second) And everything is going to be okay. I was completely checked out and Jake said all tests came back, everything is normal.
(Edmund gives Brooke several passionate kisses. He stops for a moment and puts his hand on her stomach.)
Edmund: I love you. I can't believe you are going to give me a baby...Well, now you have to pick a day to marry me. And soon, or the people of this town will start to talk. (He smiles and gives her another long romantic kiss and moves down to her neck.)
Brooke: Lets...lets go do it now. (Brooke is trying to catch her breath) Lets go to the court house and get married right now. (Edmund stops kissing and looks into her eyes.)
Edmund: No.....not yet, there is something that has to happen here first.
Brooke: But you just said...(Edmund cuts her off.)
Edmund: Brooke, I dont think I could waste this perfectly good room right now. Im not leaving her until after I have made love to you. (He starts to kiss her all over and take off her blouse. Brooke is in heaven.)
Brooke: Okay how about tomorrow...we can..we can get married tomorrow outside on Aunt Phoebes property, out by the lake, just her and the kids. (Edmund is consentrating on taking her clothes off. Then he stops and looks at her.)
Edmund: Will you be happy with that? Is that the wedding you really want? (Brooke is slowly unbuttoning Edmunds shirt.)
Brooke: Edmund...all I have ever wanted is to be your wife, and for us to be a family. I dont need a huge wedding, everyone in this town already knows that I love you... more than anyone has ever loved anybody before.
Edmund: (Edmund smiles)I am so in love you Brooke English, you have made me the happiest man.
(The two kiss and Edmund leans Brooke onto the bed.) Cameras Fade to Black. For goodness sakes this is daytime TV. The End
