And Baby Makes Five, Part 1

SCENE 1

Characters: Vicky, Paulina, Allie, and extras
Setting:
Carlino's supper time

Allie:
[sitting on one of the stools near the bar] Paulina can I get a hot fudge sundae with sprinkles and extra hot fudge on it.

Paulina: Sure, sweetheart. First, tell me what's up.

Allie: Nothing! Why does everybody ask me that? I come back to Bay City and everybody has the same thing to say. Do you all talk about me behind my back?

Paulina: Don't flatter yourself, Allie. You just ordered the same thing you always do when you are upset.

[enter Vicky]

Vicky slams her purse down on the counter and sits on the stool next to Allie. She places her elbows on the table and her right hand under her chin and loudly sighs.

Vicky:[mutters under her breath] Of all the times he has to work late.

Allie and Paulina look at Vicky with the same know-it-all expression and simultaneously say:

Allie and Paulina: What did Jake do now?

Vicky:[looking at Allie and Paulina with her big blue eyes] What makes you two think it is Jake?

Paulina: Who else could make you that flustered and angry?

Allie:[hoisting a spoon of dripping chocolate fudge sundae to her mouth] He has a knack for it!

Paulina, Allie and Vicky all laugh together.

Vicky:
He certainly does! I had this big romantic evening planned for the lump and he phones and says that he has to work late. I swear the next time, I burn down the Herald.

Paulina: I know what will cheer you up. How about some ice cream. I just made Allie a sundae, I could make you one.

Vicky: No! I think I'll just have a salad.

Paulina stares in shock and Allie drops a spoonful of sundae on the counter.

Vicky:
What? I have a craving(smiling devilishly) for some salad.

Allie: Do you feel alright? Are you sick? I can call Jake to come get you?

Paulina:[eyes light up, starts smiling and giggling madly] Are you?

Vicky: [smiling back, her eyes sparkling and a glow comes to her face. Biting her nails and laughing] Uh huh!

Allie: She's what! I'm missing something here.

Vicky: I'm pregnant.

Characters:
Jake, Chris, extras
Setting:
Herald

Chris
[knocking on Jake's office door, sees Jake sleeping]Jake...Jake...Rise and shine. JAKE!

Jake:[Jake startled and looking worn down.] I'm up, I'm up. What is it, Chris?

Chris: I think you're getting too old for this.

Jake[fidgeting with his undone tie.] Oh, funny man. I hear NBC is looking for a comedian to fill Seinfeld's time slot. I'll give you some time off for you to try to reach your dream.[Jake smiles] Like maybe forever. .

Chris:[Hits Jake with a folder and his news book on top of his head.] Why aren't you with the ball and chain?

Jake: [leaps out of his chair and looks Chris straight in the eyes] Hey!! Nobody calls her that except me.

Chris: Right, like you call her that to her face.

Jake: What you think I'm suicidal? Of course not.

Chris: Here are the figures you wanted for the business meeting tomorrow.

Jake: Thanks

Chris: You should go home and be with your ball and chain [Chris looks at Jake-laughs and runs out the door as Jake throws a crumpled up ball of paper at him.

Jake: I wish I could be with her, but I have to figure out who is trying to take over my paper.

SCENE 3

Characters:
Vicky, Paulina, and Allie
Setting:
Carlino's

Vicky, Paulina and Allie are all eating hot fudge sundaes at a closed up Carlino's at a table.

Paulina:
So how were you going to tell Jake?

Vicky: Well it was going to be a romantic dinner with baby corn, baby carrots, baby back ribs.

Paulina: They make that in a frozen T.V dinner?

Allie and Paulina laugh together. Vicky just looks over with smugness.

Vicky:
No. I ordered it. Maybe I will just go over there and tell him straight out. The last time I told him he was so cute. He cried.

Allie: [almost spitting out the sundae] I have it. I know how you should tell Jake.

Vicky: I must be desperate. I'm actual going to entertain the idea of a 15 year old.

Allie: Hey! I know Jake probably as well as you two do.

Paulina: She's got you there Vicky.

Vicky: Yeah, but so does Buster the turtle.

Allie: Give him a mystery to solve.

Paulina: What?

Allie: It solves both her problems. Jake is too busy to spend time with her at home, right?

Vicky: Right!

Allie: Give him a story that will involve his work and more importantly-- you.

Vicky: I always knew there was a reason Jake liked you so much. You both are hopeless romantics. I think I know how you can help pull this off too.

Vicky picks up her cell phone and places a call.

SCENE 4

Chris working hard at his desk on a story for the Herald Paper. The phone rings.

Chris:
Chris Madison speaking.

Chris: I understand, he's not her...e

Jakes walks by and through the doors to the elevator.

Chris:
You better believe I'm in on this girlfriend. Anything to get Jake off my back and back home. How can I help?

Chris leans back in his chair with his hands behind his head.

Chris:
A little Jake McKinnon. That guy is going to be whipped even more than he is now.

Characters:
Vicky, Allie and Chris
Setting:
Outside Carlino's near a bench on Center Street.

Allie:
[starting to walk away] See you later, Vicky.

Vicky: [chasing after her and grabbing her by the arm]Where do you think your going? You started this and now you are going to help me see this through.

Allie: My mother is expecting me home, and I have to feed Buster.

Vicky: Buster is dead!

Allie: I meant Busterina. The one that Jake tried to pawn off as Buster.

Chris walks up behind Allie as she is trying to walk away. Allie runs into him.

Vicky:
Perfect timing Chris. As far as you having to go home Allie. Call your mom and tell her you are staying late at my house watching old movies with Jake and I.

Allie: Oh, that will go over really well with Mom. I barely see her as it is now, because of Cameron.

Chris: Tell me she is not flaking on us.

Vicky: I think she doesn't think Jake is good enough to have a surprise for.

Chris: I know I don't!

Allie:[mouth drops open in shock] Hey! I love Jake.

Vicky: Sure, sure. I don't believe that for one minute.

Chris: I don't think she likes Jake, let alone Love him.

Allie:[hands on her hips and a smug look on her face] If I didn't love him as you say I do. Then why was I the first woman to propose to him.

Vicky: [eyes grow wide and mouth open] You what!

Allie: [Allie with a cocky attitude now] Gave him a ring and everything.

Chris:[rolling his eyes] Good grief! Can we not get into this right now? Jake's probably wondering where I went to and how that mysterious letter got on his desk.

Allie: What's the matter Vicky? Jealous.

Vicky: Are you going to help or not?

Allie: Yes. Tomorrow. It's 12:00 am. Mom's probably got the Sinclair's after me.

Chris: Don't worry they couldn't find their way home. Safe bet that they won't find you. Tomorrow will be fine Allie.

Vicky: Yeah, gives me time to also nail Jake on this little bomb that you threw at me.

SCENE 6

Characters:
Vicky and Jake
Setting:
Herald, Jake's office

Vicky walks into Jake's office about to blow up at him for not telling her that Allie proposed marriage. She looks around the main office of the Herald and Jake was nowhere to be found. So she decides to head to his office. She knocks on the door.

Vicky:
Jake... Jake... Jake are you in there?

Vicky enters the office to find Jake asleep in his chair and head on the desk. She proceeds around his desk and puts her arms around him. She bends down and places her head onto his and whispers in his ear.

Vicky:
Jake. Jake time to wake up. Jake.

Jake moves a little but is still asleep. Vicky tries kissing him awake. She trails kisses on the back of his neck and cheek.

Vicky:
Jake, wake up Sweetie.

Jake is faking his sleep as Vicky moves to his side. Jake grabs her and takes her in his lap. Vicky screams a little in fright.

Jake:
I love waking up like that.

Vicky: I know what else you love too. [Vicky puts both arms around his neck and proceeds to give him a tender kiss] Maybe we can do some of the huckle buck when we get home. But first we have to air out a dirty little secret that you have hidden from me. [places another kiss on his lips]

Jake: [Jake has a surprised and yet little worried look on his face] Secret? I don't have any secrets from you, Alice Blue.

Vicky: [places her index finger on his lips] Shh...Are you sure?

Jake: O.k you got me. I didn't eat the dinner you gave me last night. I gave it to the dog.

Vicky: [gets up out of his lap and looks at him and punches him in the arm.] You're not going to tell me are you?

Jake: I have to stay away from that right hand. What are you talking about?[gets up and walks to get his mug on Chris' desk]

Vicky: I wasn't the first.

Jake: [laughing] I think you were the first, even in my adolescent dreams.

Vicky: Not that, you jerk! Not being the first woman to propose to you.

Jake drops his coffee mug on the floor and turns around in shock.

Vicky:
So I was right. That look says it all.

Jake: [stumbling out] I.. I..I

Vicky: You what, Jake?

Jake: I told Allie that I couldn't marry her. I never thought Allie would betray me like this. I told her I was going to marry you and it literally broke her heart in a million places ,Vicky. Besides, I married you, didn't I?

Vicky walks up to him and gives him a kiss on the cheek and a hug.

Vicky:
I know, but I wanted to see the look on your face. Allie and I were talking at Carlino's and I kinda of bugged her about her new boyfriend and she threw the proposal in my face.

Vicky and Jake head to the door on their way home in each others arms. On the way out we see the mysterious letter on Jake's desk.

Jake:
I shouldn't be going home, I still haven't figured out why all the sponsors are leaving my news paper. Oh. . Vicky?

Vicky: Yeah

Jake: What boyfriend?

Setting:
Vicky and Jake's bedroom, early morning

Vicky sleeping in her black satin covered bed and rolls over to find an empty side, instead of her sleeping hubby Jake.

Vicky
[groggily] I have to blow up that damn newspaper. Jake has a baby now and the other one, known as the Herald, must go. He didn't even wake me up and say good morning, or for that matter goodbye. Knock on the door and Steven and Kirkland enter the room with Breakfast in Bed for their mom.

Vicky:
[sits up in her bed] What's this?

Steven: Jake cooked it for you, but he had to go to the Herald.

Kirk: He asked us to bring it in for you.

Vicky: Is that right? Well, thank you very much. Now give me a morning hug.

Steven: Mom. I heard you through the door. I couldn't quite make out what you said, but it sounded like baby.

Vicky: [shocked and her mouth full of pancakes] You heard correctly.

Steven: You mean we are going to have another baby brother or sister.

Kirk: We are? I don't have to be the baby anymore?

Both kids are on the bed next to their mother and excited by the news.

Steven:
You will always be the baby.

Kirk: Will not

Steven: Will to

Steven and Kirk begin to shove each other playfully.

Vicky:
O.k you two. Stop it. I need your help. You have to keep this a secret from Jake.

Kirk: Why?

Vicky: Because me and a few of his friends are going to plan a little surprise and mystery for Jake to solve.

Steven: Can we help?

Vicky: You bet.

Steven: This is going to be awesome! Let's go and start picking out names, Kirk.

Kids shoot out the door before Vicky can talk to them

Jake and Secretary, plus extras
Setting:
Herald

Jake enters the Herald with a glint in his eye and hop in his step.

Jake:
Good morning one and all. Tell Chris that I need to see him right away.

Secretary: Chris called in sick [Jake walks right by into his office]

Jake: [walks back out the door and looks at his secretary] He what?

Secretary: Called in sick

Jake: {Jake blows a gasket] HE CAN'T CALL IN SICK

Secretary: Well, he did, and told me to tell you that he won't be in for the rest of the day and maybe tomorrow.

Jake: Just great. He calls in sick and he tells me last night that I was too old for this job.

[Jake's arms are swinging wildly and the letter falls out of his jacket.] Jake picks up the envelope and is confused at how it got in his inside pocket of the jacket. He proceeds to open it and is shocked at its contents.

Jake:
I have to go out. I won't be back for a couple of hours, maybe even the next couple of days. Call in Amanda and ask her to fill in for me. Brava isn't off the ground yet, and she still owns some this paper. Jake leaves in a hurry.

Characters:
Chris and Vicky
Setting:
Vicky's cottage living room.

Knock on the door and Chris enters the house.

Chris:
Vicky?

The sound of pots crashing and dishes breaking in the kitchen are echoed through the house. Vicky comes out with her fingers in her ears and jumping out or the kitchen.

Chris:
I never believed all the stories Jake told at the Herald about you in the kitchen, but.

Vicky: Don't start with me. Did he find it?

Chris: Well good morning to you too.

Vicky: I'm sorry. Good morning Chris. Did he find it?

Chris: Found it, ran out of the office into his car and sped off. He isn't here?

Vicky: Of course he isn't here. I told you he wouldn't be.

Chris: I thought if the house that you grew up in Lassiter was going to be torn down that he would come to tell you.

Vicky: [sits on the couch with a bag of potato chips] He won't tell me until I would have to really worry about it. I know him. He is going to be the knight in shinning armor.

Chris: Then why did Allie think of it?

Vicky looks at Chris with a look that would kill him as she munches on a potato chip.

SCENE 10

Characters:
Paulina, Allie, Amanda
Setting:
Cory Mansion

Allie sneaking down the stairs hoping not to get caught by anyone. Amanda comes from the living room to catch her.

Amanda:
Where do you think you are going this early?

Allie: Paulina is taking me shopping.

Amanda: I thought we were going to go shopping together as Mother-Daughter time.

Allie: We can go tomorrow?

Amanda [getting a little mad]: I think it is best if you stay home and try to like Cameron, instead of ignoring him all the time.

Allie: I'm not ignoring him, I just don't like him.

Door bell rings and Allie opens the door with Amanda standing speechless.

Paulina:
Ready to go, Allie?

Amanda: No, she just found out she was grounded.

Allie: For what? Telling the truth?

Amanda: Until you understand that crack you made about Cameron hurts me as much as grounding you.

Paulina: What crack?

Allie [arms crossed and pouting] It was the truth, I don't like Cameron. I'd rather see my mom marry Grant again.
Amanda:
Allie! Up to your room.

Paulina: Amanda, we had plans with Vicky and Chris.

Amanda: She should have thought of that before she decided to let her lips flap.

Paulina and Allie exchange glances and know what to do. Allie runs upstairs and Paulina sighs deeply.

Amanda:
I don't know what I am going to do with that kid. You think she would like Cameron. Afterall, he is exactly like Jake.

Paulina: [laughing] No offence Amanda, but Cameron is nothing like Jake. Besides, there is only one Jake Mckinnon and Allie's heart belongs to him.

Amanda: What does she see in Jake?

Paulina: I don't have time to answer all of that. I have to go and meet up with Vicky and Chris.

Paulina leaves and shuts the door. She turns around and Allie is standing right before her eyes.

Paulina:
[jumps back in surprise and fright] You scared me. What are you doing out here?

Allie: I went out the back. Besides it's for Jake. He's been there for me and I'm going to be there for him.

Paulina: Why can't you like Cameron the way you like Jake?

Allie: You met them both. What do you think? Enough about Cameron, let's go.

Allie leaves and Paulina is slow to follow, shaking her head.

Paulina:
She is going to be in trouble when she gets home.

Jake, Contractor, and a set of neighbours.
Setting:
Lassiter, Vicky and Bridget's old house.

Jake wanders through the streets of Lassiter at night. He stumbles upon the house that he, Vicky, and Bridget grew up. He sees a bull dozer and a crane and quickly runs to the house only to be stopped by a contractor.

Contractor:
[Pushing and keeping Jake at arms length.] Sorry fella. I can't let you go into that house. It is set to come down tomorrow at nine o' clock sharp.

Jake: You don't understand. I need to keep that house standing. I grew up in that house and so did my wife.[Jake runs his hand through his hair]

Contractor: Sorry pal. But it comes down, I have a contract to keep.

Jake: I thought somebody bought that house in 93. They sold it already?

Contractor: You must have the wrong house. Nobody has lived in this house for 15 years. It was a landmark, but the politicians decided to vote to tear it down.

Jake: They can't do that! [trying to push his way through]

A neighbor watching across the street comes into the picture.

Neighbor:
Excuse me. Are you Jake McKinnon?

Jake: Yes, I am.

Neighbor: This letter is for you then.

Jake: Again with the letters. Who gave this to you?[Jake turns back around to see the neighbor going back into the house]

Jake looks at the letter and is stumped with a question about where he painted the town red before Christmas 96. Also included in the large envelope was a picture of Tom Selleck and a audio cassette tape.

Jake:
Sorry pal, I think somebody was playing a trick on me. The house was the next one over.

Jake has that look we all know when he suspects something is up.

SCENE 12

Characters:
Vicky, Paulina, Allie and Jake
Setting:
Vicky's cottage.

Allie:
I wonder if mom noticed that I was gone.

Vicky: What do you mean?

Paulina: She was supposed to be grounded. She snuck out.

Allie: I couldn't let Vicky think she was the only one that would break the rules for Jake.

Vicky: Watch it kid!!

Allie: There's that word again. I hate that word. I'm not a kid.

Paulina: O.k Alli-babba.

Allie: Hey! Only Jake can call me that.

Vicky: (sitting by Allie and nudges her] Yeah, Cupcake.

Paulina is left speechless.

Paulina:
Yeah well... What is Jake's nickname for you anyway?

Vicky: Oh, take your pick. The most beautiful woman in Bay City, the world, or just call me Mrs. Huckle Buck.

Allie: Huckle Buck?

Paulina: Don't even try to explain that to her.

Allie: Did Chris deliver the other letter to Sassy's yet?

Vicky: Yep, I still don't understand the answer to the question though. I understand the Tom Selleck part, but the tape and the question I have no clue.

Paulina: You were off with Bobby at the time, but Jake sort of...Let's say did a tango at Sassy's and landed in jail.

Allie: That's putting it mildly. He destroyed the place.

Vicky: He what?

Paulina: How did you know that?

Allie: He told me.

Jake barges in with a know-it-all look on his face. Vicky, Paulina and Allie all look at each other.

Vicky:
What's wrong, honey?

Jake: [walks down the small step to the living room] As if you didn't know!

Allie: I think we should be going right about now.

Allie trys to step around Jake but he is blocking her. She tries the other way, but he blocks her again. They do this for awhile and it looks like their dancing.

Jake:
Trying to leave so soon. What's the matter Princess? Don't want to save the last dance for me?

Paulina: It's late and she snuck out of the house while she was grounded.

Jake: Oh, so it must have been important for her to be here then.

Vicky: No, we just went shopping. [giving Jake a hug]

Allie and Paulina try to sneak off.

Jake:
Hey Allie! I have a little riddle for you. I couldn't solve it and maybe you could.

Allie freeses in mid step and looks a little worried that the surprise is ruined.

Jake:
What do you never do to a con-man?

Allie: I don't know?

Jake: Paulina?

Paulina: No clue, Jake.

Jake: The most beautiful woman in the world? [staring and Vicky]

Vicky: Never try to con a con-man.

Jake: Especially when he is better then you.

Allie: Jake, I didn't want to do it, but they made me.

Paulina: You little twerp!

Jake: Do what, Allie?

Vicky: Don't you dare Allie!

Jake: Allie, we have no secrets from each other. Or, do we now have some Alli-babba?

Jake turns to face Allie

Jake:
How's that turtle that I kept for you all those years that you left for France doing?

Paulina: Oh..That is low even for you Jake.

Vicky is behind Jake giving the cut sign across her neck, hoping Allie won't give in.

Jake:
Allie?

Allie: Dead.

Jake: O.k, then there is no secret that your hiding. You can go if you want to.

Paulina and Allie quickly leave and Vicky and Jake are alone.

Vicky:
Oh, I'm tired. Time for bed. You coming up?

Jake: In a minute.

Vicky goes upstairs but hides behind the corner.

Jake:
[whispers to himself] I still can't believe that she thinks she can con me. I'll play her little game, only I am the one who is going to throw the surprise at the end. [Jake louder] Who sent me this letter and why?

Vicky smiling watching Jake try to figure the question out.

Jake continues his sweet wake up seduction, by trailing kisses to the arms and back of her neck.

Jake:
Vicky, it is 1:00 oclock. You are late to meet Chris at the destination.

Vicky quickly tosses the covers off and goes to the closet to get her clothes on.

Jake:
So, Chris is involved in this set up to.

Vicky: (Quickly turns around and sees Jake laughing) You jerk!

Vicky quickly comes to the bed and grabs a pillow and throws it at him. Jake removes the pillow from his face and laughs even harder.

Jake:
Let's see now. Allie, Paulina and you. Then we have Chris. These little ducks that you lined up Vicky, I have to admit, are pretty loyal to both of us. However, there is a weak link.

Vicky: Who?

Jake gets out of bed and bends down to Vicky eye level and gives a little cocky smile.|

Jake:
I'm not telling!

Vicky: You still haven't figured out that first clue yet! Jake goes behind Vicky and grabs her arms and starts kissing her neck.

Jake: No, but I bet if I keep this up I will.

Vicky: You may be good, but not that good.

Vicky goes into the bathroom and Jake hears the shower running.

Jake:
[talking to himself] Gets in the shower right about now [Vicky screams] to find No hot water left.

Steven: No, he couldn't sleep very well last night.

Jake: O.k, can you at least get your walkman for me. The tape deck in my car has broken down.

Steven: Sure. [closes the door]

Jake listens to the door and hears both Kirk and Steven talking.

Jake:
[to himself] Too many people are in on this, Vicky.

Steven opens the door and hands Jake the walkman. Jake puts in the tape and plays it. The song is "Jail House Rock". Jake finally puts together the question of where he painted the town red.

Jake:
[to himself] Sassy's and then to jail. Vicky didn't know about that, so it must be Chris' question. Now what on earth does that have to do with Tom Selleck? Time to work on the weakest link.

Cameron:
Going somewhere?

Jake: Yeah, past you.

Cameron: I don't think so.

Jake: [looks straight at Amanda] What? Is this your new blonde watch dog? No wonder Allie hates him so much.

Amanda: You can't see her, Jake.

Jake:[playfully laughing] Okay, you just tell her I called, and when she can come out to play have her phone me. O.k?

Kirk: I like Kevin.

Vicky: Jake has a half-brother named Kevin, so I don't think it will fly with him. Besides, what if it's a girl?

Steven: Bridget.

Vicky: [tears starting to well up in her eyes and hugs Steven] I think that is a good idea, but Bridget was one of a kind.

Steven: Maybe as a middle name.

Vicky: We still have plenty of time to name this baby. Although, Jake is up to no good trying to spoil the surprise and we need to stop him.

Kirk: How?

Vicky: He said that there is a weak link in this group of people that know the secret. Do you have any idea who he is talking about?

Kirk: Steven.
