In the Movie/Game Room at the other end of the house, Jackson has a visitor...
JACKSON- âSymia? I wasnât expecting you, everything okay?â He reaches over and pecks her with a kiss on the cheek.
SYMIA-Â âI suppose I am okay. The game was really awesome last night. You and Gabe were amazing out there!â
JACKSON-Â âYeah 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.â
SYMIA-Â âRowan was pretty excited too. Listen, Jack, we need to talk about something...â
JACKSON- âSure babe, anything. My mind and attention are all yours now that football season is finally over.â
SYMIA-Â âI never thought you let football get between us, Jack. You are always willing to listen to me, but this is important.â
JACKSON-Â âOkay, I am listening, seriously...â
SYMIA-Â âI am sorry Jack, but I didnât tell you the truth last week. I didnât want anything to effect the game, or get you distracted so I lied...â
JACKSON-Â âOkay, 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 wouldnât get distracted? So which is it, Symia?â
SYMIA-Â âKeep your voice down, please... I just didnât want anything I did to pull your concentration from the game and this would have.â
JACKSON- âOkay, fine. What is it? What is so important that you couldnât tell me the truth??â
SYMIA-Â âI 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 didnât tell you the truth because...â
JACKSON- âBecause you didnât think I could handle it? Or because you didnât 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, Donât you think I would eventually have realized it !? Why, why would you tell me you werenât when you were!? I canât believe you did this Symia!!â
She breaks down in tears...
SYMIA-Â âI know..I am sorry. I just... I didnât know what to do...Please donât yell at me...â
