In the Movie/Game Room at the other end of the house, Jackson has a visitor...
JACKSON- “Symia? I wasn’t expecting you, everything okay?” He reaches over and pecks her with a kiss on the cheek.
SYMIA- “I suppose I am okay. The game was really awesome last night. You and Gabe were amazing out there!”
JACKSON- “Yeah it was. Glad to end with a win and a winning season. Makes it all worthwhile I suppose. Dad was happier than I was I think.”
SYMIA- “Rowan was pretty excited too. Listen, Jack, we need to talk about something...”
JACKSON- “Sure babe, anything. My mind and attention are all yours now that football season is finally over.”
SYMIA- “I never thought you let football get between us, Jack. You are always willing to listen to me, but this is important.”
JACKSON- “Okay, I am listening, seriously...”
SYMIA- “I am sorry Jack, but I didn’t tell you the truth last week. I didn’t want anything to effect the game, or get you distracted so I lied...”
JACKSON- “Okay, and you just said that you never thought I let football come between us, and now you are saying you kept something from me so that I wouldn’t get distracted? So which is it, Symia?”
SYMIA- “Keep your voice down, please... I just didn’t want anything I did to pull your concentration from the game and this would have.”
JACKSON- “Okay, fine. What is it? What is so important that you couldn’t tell me the truth??”
SYMIA- “I am pregnant, Jack. I lied about the results of the pregnancy test. I bought three of them to make sure, and they all showed positive. I didn’t tell you the truth because...”
JACKSON- “Because you didn’t think I could handle it? Or because you didn’t think I should know the truth? How long do you think you could have kept this from me Symia?? I mean you are pregnant for watchers sake, Don’t you think I would eventually have realized it !? Why, why would you tell me you weren’t when you were!? I can’t believe you did this Symia!!”
She breaks down in tears...
SYMIA- “I know..I am sorry. I just... I didn’t know what to do...Please don’t yell at me...”
