We
open up in the city of Miami, Florida, on the property of residents Vince and
Kimberly McMahon. Their daughter Jennifer is out in the guesthouse where she
currently resides. The time of day is morning and Jennifer is lying in bed with
a very upset stomach. She places her hands on her stomach and tries to massage
it in order to stop the nauseous feeling. She sits up in bed and throws back her
white goose down comforter as well as the other sheets. She twists her body so
now her feet are on the carpeted floor. She is wearing a pair of white Joe Boxer
shorts and a spaghetti strap white top with a yellow happy face on the front.
Her natural blonde hair is down and straight. She gets out of bed and grabs a
black hooded sweatshirt that says ‘WWE’ New York’ across the chest. She
throws it on and slips on a pair of Adidas black flip-flops. She leaves the
guesthouse and walks through the yard to her parents’ house where she knows
that they are having breakfast. She gets to the back patio and opens up the
French doors. Her father Vince McMahon is sitting at the kitchen table with his
morning cup of coffee as her mother Kimberly is getting their breakfast ready.
Jennifer comes in and kisses Vince on the cheek and then walks over to Kimberly
and does the same.
Kimberly:
Good morning Sunshine, we’re having eggs, toast, bacon, sausage, hash browns,
and fruit. So what’ll you have?
Jennifer: Actually I’m not really
hungry Mom, so just some juice.
Kimberly: Jennifer Lynn McMahon sit
your butt down and eat some breakfast. I will not have one of my babies going
out into the world hungry and unfed.
Vince:
Listen to your mother Kitten.
Jennifer: ~laughing~
Okay, you guys win.
Jennifer
grabs a plate and fills it up with Kimberly’s good cooking. She then takes a
seat next to her dad at the kitchen table and begins to eat. The nauseous
feeling that has been with her through the morning has stayed and is starting to
become worse. She gently clutches her stomach under the table and finishes her
food.
Vince: You okay Kitten? You’re
looking kind of pale.
Jennifer: Yeah, I’m fine I
promise. I just didn’t sleep too well last night. I kept waking up and stuff.
All I need is a long hot shower and a trip into town for the day.
Kimberly: Are you sure you’re up
to it? I don’t want you parading around Miami if you’re half-asleep.
Jennifer:
I’m fine Mom, I promise. I have some stuff to take care of anyway. Well Mom I
gotta say today’s breakfast was one of your best.
Kimberly: Well thank you very much
Sweetheart.
Jennifer: All right well I am
heading on out.
Jennifer stands up and takes her plate to the kitchen sink where she cleans it
off and puts it in the drainer. She hugs Kimberly and then does the same with
Vince. She then leaves the house and walks over to the guesthouse. As soon as
she steps in the house, the phone begins to ring. Jennifer walks over and
answers it.
Jennifer:
Hello?
Voice: Jennifer, it’s your aunt
Lillian, I just wanted to call and tell you that we have the results of the
tests we ran two days ago. I want you to come in so we can talk about them okay?
Jennifer: Wait why would I need to
come in unless they were pos…~sighing~
One came out positive didn’t it?
Lillian: Well that’s what I want
to talk to you about. I don’t have anybody scheduled for appointments at noon
so if you want to come in…
Jennifer:
All right, I’ll be there…
The two say their goodbyes and Jennifer hangs up. Jennifer takes a hot shower
and then changes her clothes. She changes into a pair of gray fleece pants with
maroon and white stripes up and down the sides of the pants, a white wife beater
tank top, a matching gray fleece hoody jacket, and last of all a pair of black
and white Adidas sneakers. She waits about an hour before grabbing her Louie
Vitton white handbag and grabs her car keys. She walks out to where her black
SUV is at and she opens the front door. She gets inside and starts it up. She
slides on a pair of Oakley sunglasses and pulls out of the driveway. It takes
her twenty minutes to drive to her aunt Lillian McMahon’s office and she parks
in the parking lot. She walks inside and is greeted by the receptionist. The
receptionist soon leads her to the back in order to see Lillian. Jennifer walks
into the office where her aunt is seated behind a mahogany desk. Lillian smiles
at her niece and stands up to give her a hug. She then takes a seat across from
her aunt and nervously sets her purse down.
Jennifer:
All right Aunt Lilly, can you tell me what my test results were?
Lillian: Well as you know I was very
concerned with how you haven’t been feeling well lately and I ran a pregnancy
test amidst the other tests I ran. Jennifer to cut to the chase, which is the
test that came back positive. Sweetie you’re about two months along.
Jennifer:
~tearing up & looking at the ground~
I had a feeling that I was but I guess I just couldn’t admit it to myself. ~wiping
them away & trying to smile~ Oh
boy this is unexpected, but not really. You didn’t tell Uncle Doug did you?
Lillian: I couldn’t even if I
wanted to, I would not breach your confidence like that. Now listen to me, I
know this news is hard to deal with but don’t worry about it okay? Telling
your mom and dad is going to be hard but they will understand. Vince and
Kimberly love you and your brother and your sisters more then anything else in
the world. They will understand.
Jennifer: I know they will, I just
hate that I am going to have them disappointed in me after I tell them. I love
my parents so much and they are going to be upset.
Lillian: At first yes but after you
give them some time they will be okay. They love you and they will be there for
you every step of the way. Honey I have to ask you something. I guess you can
say that it is for my piece of mind.
Jennifer: What is it?
Lillian: Is Cole Macyntire the
father of that baby?
Jennifer: No…He broke up with me
and the night that he did, I went to Riley’s Bar and Grill and I umm…I met
up with Sonny Corinthos, you know he has done business with Daddy in the past. I
am also pretty good friend with his sister Riley, anyway we got to talking. One
thing led to another, I went back to his penthouse and we slept together. Now
I’m pregnant.
Lillian: Wait a minute, Sonny
Corinthos the Mob Boss? He’s the father of the baby?
Jennifer:…Yeah.
Lillian:
~shrugging~ Well as long as it
isn’t Cole then I am happy. Honey you not being with that guy is the best
thing that could have ever happened to you. He was bum who was never nearly good
enough for you. I can’t even refer to him as a man because he isn’t one.
Please tell me that you don’t still love him.
Jennifer: I don’t still love him I
promise.
Lillian: Good to hear, now I have a
prescription for some vitamins you are going to need as well as some other
things.
Jennifer stands up as Lillian gives her what she needs. They say their goodbyes
and Jennifer walks out of the office building. She gets to her SUV and as soon
as she is there, she gets inside and sits in the driver’s seat. She knows that
she has to go and see Sonny and tell him. She drives her SUV over to the
building where Sonny’s penthouse is. She parks the SUV and gets out, and walks
into the building. She takes the elevator up to the floor where she knows that
Sonny is located on and gets off. She walks to the door of his penthouse, which
is being guarded by the bodyguard Johnny.
Johnny:
May I help you?
Jennifer: Yes I am Jennifer McMahon
and I am here to see Mr. Corinthos, is he in?
Johnny: Mr. Corinthos is out
conducting business for the day and won’t be back until late tonight. I can
let him know you stopped by though.
Jennifer: Thank you very much,
please make sure you do.
Jennifer turns and goes straight to the elevator. She leaves the building and
goes straight to her SUV. She is going to go home and try to think of a way to
tell her parents about the predicament she has gotten herself into. Hopefully it
will come to her.
Jennifer
has decided that she is going to go to Riley’s in order to maybe see if Sonny
will come. She has dressed herself carefully this evening as well as nicely. She
is right now sitting at Riley’s in a booth waiting to see if Sonny has
arrived. She told Riley that as soon as Sonny arrived she desperately needed to
see him. She sits there sipping on a glass of water; soon she feels a hand
gently touching her shoulder. She turns and looks up to see Sonny.
Jennifer:
Hey Sonny.
Sonny:
Riley said that you wanted to see me, is everything all right?
Jennifer: Actually that is going to
depend a lot on you. Is there somewhere more private we can go and talk?
Sonny: Yeah, come on.
He takes her hand and helps her up. He then leads her into his sister Riley’s
office and shuts the door. He motions for her to have a seat and she takes it.
She sits on the couch and gently rests her hands in her lap. Sonny takes a seat
on the couch beside her and offers her a smile.
Sonny:
So what’s going on?
Jennifer: Sonny do you remember that
night a while ago where I was here at the club and you came in?
Sonny: Which night are you talking
about; there have been quite a few of those throughout the year?
Jennifer: Well the night we slept
together.
Sonny looks at her and gets a small but warm smile across his face.
Sonny: Yeah I remember. How could I
forget, it was one of the best nights of my life. So what’s going on?
Jennifer: There is no easy way to
say this, so I am just going to blurt it out. I’m pregnant Sonny.
Sonny looks at her in shock, unsure of what to say. Jennifer looks at him very
nervously as he starts to stand up and pace. He paces back and forth, all the
while Jennifer has tears in her eyes and they are streaming down her face.
Sonny: Wh…when did you find out?
Jennifer: Earlier today, I haven’t
told anyone but you…
Sonny:
Well what do you want to do? Because whatever you want to do I will support you
one hundred percent.
Jennifer: I want to keep it, I
don’t want to get an abortion, and if I gave it up for adoption I would always
be wondering where it was.
Sonny: All right so you’re going
to keep it. There is nothing wrong with that.
~running a hand through his hair~ When
do you want to tell your parents.
Jennifer: I want to tell the whole
family tomorrow. I am just so scared of how they are going to react. I know they
aren’t going to hate me or disown me, but I am so afraid of disappointing
them. I love my family so much and this is the last thing I want to do.
Sonny looks at her and takes a seat back beside her. He takes her hands in his
and gently kisses them.
Sonny: Your family is going to
understand okay? I am also going to be there for you every step of the way; I am
not going to turn my back on you. Trust me okay? I am going to take care of you
and my baby.
He leans in and gently kisses her cheek and hugs her. She smiles gently and
returns the hug, resting her head on his shoulder. He gently runs his hands
through her hair and continues to comfort her.
Sonny; Tomorrow we’re going to go
and tell your parents. I don’t want you keeping this from them for long. They
need to know. Now come on, let’s get you home okay? I want you in bed and
resting.
Jennifer smiles gently and nods. Sonny helps her to her feet and puts an arm
around her tenderly. He takes his suit jacket and puts it on her shoulders. He
leads her out of the club and he goes to take her home. Tomorrow they would be
telling her parents, hopefully everything would go okay.
