[Backyard of a house; camera pans to 2 children, a girl, 4, and a boy, 1, in a sand box]

Girl: Mommy! Come help me build a sand castle!

(Voice from offscreen): Coming Anna. [camera pans to Robin] But I have to pit some more sunscreen on you first.

Anna: Okay! (Runs to her mother)

Stone: Hey honey..where's the baby's swing? [Stone enters, picking up boy, Mark]

R: In the living room next to the play pen. Give him to me. Let me put some sunscreen on him.

S: That's okay, babe. Let me do it.

R: Felicia should be here pretty soon. She always gets so excited when we ask her to babysit the kids. She's always telling me I baby sat for Maxie and Georgie all the time so she owes me.

S: Why are we going out tonight anyway? Not that I mind a night alone with you at all. (smiles, then kisses Robin. Anna sees them and laughs)

R: Anna, would you run inside and get Mark's swing please?

A: Sure Mommy! (runs inside)

R: Well, I have some pretty big news to tell you.

S: Why can't you tell me now?

R: It's a special surprise. Just wait till tonight. [doorbell rings, Robin goes to answer it; it's Felicia]

R: Hi Felicia! (hugs her) Thanks so much for taking the kids.

F: It's no problem! You know I'm happy to do it whenever you need a night off. I miss having children running around the house! And you can pick them up whenever you want to tomorrow, no hurry.

R: Thank you so much.

F: So what's this news you plan to tell Stone tonight?

R: It's a secret right now, but I'll tell you as soon as he knows.

F: Sounds big.

R: It is. Really big. [Fade out]

[In red bedroom, Robin is gathering her things]

R: I still can't believe you convinced me to paint this room red.

S: Oh yeah? Well you got to pick the colors for every other room. I'd say that was a fair compromise. And have you forgotten how many nights it took me to convince you that it doesn't matter what color the room is because you wouldn't notice it anyway? (smiles slyly, Robin comes over and kisses him) Anyway, would you like to give me a little hint as to this beg secret of yours?

R: Nope. you're just going to have to wait.

S: (Looks at his watch) What time did you say the reservations are for? R: 8:00, why? (Stone smiles suggestively) Honey, I'm dressed already.

S: (kisses Robin on the neck) So I'll help you put it back when we're finished. [Fall back on bed, fade out]

[At the table at the restaurant]

S: Okay, the suspense is killing me. What's the big secret?

R: (smiling) What do you think it will be this time, a boy or a girl?

S: You're pregnant? Again?

R: Isn't it a surprise? I took the test yesterday.

S: Are you sure?

R: What's wrong? I thought you'd be happy.

S: I am, believe me I am. But I've gotta go on the road in a couple of months with Miguel. Don't you remember?

R: Yeah, so?

S: So, I won't be aroung to help you and everything.

R: Don't worry about that. I'm taking a sabbatical from the University and I've got Felicia, and Mac, and Brenda to help me. I'll be fine.

S: Are you sure?

R: Of course. But are you really okay with this? I know we were planning to wait before having another one.

S: Yeah but Mark's almost 2 and Anna's 5. Besides, what oculd be greater than the love of my life having me child? I love you, babe. [Kisses her across the table, fade out]"
