OUT OF THE SHADOWS
[Todd and Tea are in Tea's bedroom...the same room she slept in during her first marriage to Todd. Todd is stretched out on the bed, watching Tea as she nervously paces back and forth.] Tea: Why aren't you pacing? Todd: Would it make you feel better if I did? Tea: Yes. It would feel normal. Todd: This isn't quite normal here, Tea. Tea: Aren't you nervous? Todd: Either you are or you aren't. I can't do anything about that right now. Tea: You're too calm. Stop it. (pause) How much longer? Todd: Less than a minute. Tea: It already feels like it's been an hour. Why is time going so slow? Todd: Because you want it to go fast. At least you didn't have to stand outside the bathroom door waiting for your...ex-wife...girlfriend...well...whatever you are...to do something so simple yet apparently very complicated. Tea: I was nervous, okay? It's hard for me to do that when I'm nervous and I know someone's standing outside the door waiting for me to do it. Todd: I was more than willing to stay downstairs. Actually, I'm kind of surprised you didn't do it before. Tea: I was pretty sure what the results would be. Todd: Then why are you so nervous now? Tea: I don't know. This will make it real, I guess. So, far it's just been a suspicion. A suspicion with so much physical evidence it has to be true. Todd: Well, it's time, if you want to find out for sure. [Tea and Todd both enter the bathroom, where Tea left the test kit. They stand in the doorway staring at it from a distance.] Tea: You look. Todd: Are you sure? Tea: Yeah. [Todd moves forward and looks at the results. When he turns around to tell Tea what the results are she's gone.] Todd (returning to the bedroom): Tea? Tea: I don't want to know. Todd: Tea... Tea: No. I'm serious. I don't want to know. If I am, well, I'll gain a lot of weight and I'll figure it out. If I'm not... Todd (interrupting): You are. Tea (looking at his eyes for confirmation): I am? [Tea knows from the joy, tears and fear in his eyes that she is pregnant. She immediately rushes toward him and hugs him tightly. After crying into Todd's shoulder for several minutes, Tea ends their hug.] Tea: Where did you park your motorhome? Todd: Why? Tea: I want to go there right now and make love. Todd (gesturing toward the bed): What's wrong with there? Tea: I want to make love where we conceived this child. Todd: Well, that could be, let's see, a clump of trees in a public area, a picnic table, the hood of your car, that elevator... Tea: Wait. What elevator? Todd: Haven't we done that yet? I guess that one must still be just a dream. Tea: We can't allow dreams to go unfulfilled. (gently touching his face) Are you sure you're okay with this? Todd: We knew that first night that this would happen. Well, the tree was unexpected so we weren't thinking about that. I know I wasn't, anyway. Tea: Neither was I. Todd: When we got up to my RV park, though, and you brought it up and neither of us wanted to stop to go somewhere to get stuff to take care of that, we knew what we were agreeing to. Tea: But, it was a passionate moment. Later, maybe... Todd: I know I haven't been doing anything to stop it from happening all the times since then. I just assumed you weren't either...that you wanted this with me. Tea: I did. I do. I just think that maybe we should have talked about it instead of both of us assuming. Todd: We didn't need to. We both understood. We didn't need the words. I thought maybe you were figuring that out in the last couple of months. We say a lot without talking, Tea. Tea: There are some things we need to say out loud. Todd: Does it have to be now? Because, I was all set to make love to you for the next two hours but you've been chattering away and eating into our time here. Tea: I didn't realize there was a deadline. Todd: We can't be up all night doing stuff anymore. You need to sleep. Tea (moving toward the nightstand): I need to set my alarm so I won't be late for court in the morning. Todd: So, we're staying here tonight? [After setting her alarm clock, Tea sits down on the bed and looks toward Todd.] Tea: Actually, this would be one of my dreams come true. Todd (climbing onto the bed next to her): Really? Tea: I spent so many nights in this bed dreaming about you and wishing you would come in here and... Todd: I did come in here. So many nights I watched you sleep and I wanted so much to touch you. So, I guess, this will be one of my fantasies coming true too. Tea: Then what are we waiting for? Todd: You to stop talking. [Tea grabs his shirt and pulls him toward her, kissing him deeply. They do nothing but kiss for several minutes until Tea starts to moan so much that Todd knows she's so excited she wants, and needs, to move on. Reluctantly, Todd removes his lips from Tea's mouth and quickly removes his own shirt before just as quickly removing Tea's shirt. He spends several minutes showing Tea how much he adores her breasts before moving down and kissing her stomach. As Todd continues down Tea's body, he opens her pants and kisses her through her underwear before pulling down her pants, leaving her panties on. Todd moves back up her body and kiss her again for several more minutes as Tea explores Todd's upper body with her hands. Soon, Todd is on his back and Tea is straddling him as she kisses his neck for a while before moving down to his chest. Tea lingers at his chest, knowing that he enjoys the feeling of her lips exploring his chest. She can't resist herself, though and soon moves further down his body, quickly moving passed his stomach. Having noticed earlier that he wasn't wearing any underwear under his jeans, she knows what to expect as she undoes his pants. She licks his flesh for a few moments before moving further down the bed and pulling his pants off, along with his shoes and socks, leaving him completely naked in front of her. Very slowly, Tea crawls back up his body, kissing his legs as she goes. When she takes him into her mouth and begins to suck, it's Todd's turn to moan. Todd expects her to stop like she has in the past but she surprises him by continuing until he climaxes. Tea moves up his body and lays her head on his chest, allowing him some time to recover.] Tea (after Todd starts to caress her body again): Was that okay? Todd: Are you kidding? Tea: I mean, did that bother you? Gross you out? Make you uncomfortable? Todd: No. You didn't have to do that if it wasn't what you wanted, though. Tea: Don't expect it every day. Once in a while...on special occasions... Todd: Well, I do have a birthday coming up. Tea: I'll keep that in mind. Todd: Right now, though, I think I should return the favor. [With Tea on her back, Todd caresses her through her panties for several minutes as he plays with her breasts with his mouth. After removing her panties, he uses his mouth to bring her to several intensely pleasurable orgasms. Finally, their mutual need for his body to be inside hers is too great and he moves back up her body and enters her as they continue to make love.] TO BE CONTINUED
