Melissa-(baby crying)I know. It'll be ok. Daddy will be home soon.
Billy-(walking through door drunk)Where are you at Melissa? Melissa get out here!
Melissa-(walking out there)What???
Billy-What are you doing back there?
Melissa-Taking care of Lilly.Something you haven't been able to do because you aren't home enough to even know what she looks like.
Billy-Whatever.Well, I'm hungry so get your butt back there and fix me something to eat.Since i never get to see Lilly cause i'm so called "never home" i'll go play with her.
Melissa-(after a while walking in on Billy shaking Lilly)Wait! Stop! What do you think you're doing?
Billy-Shut-up (puts baby back in the crib)She started crying so I got her to shut-up.
Melissa-That's not how you get a baby to quit crying.
Billy-Shut-up (fake slaps Melissa)(she falls on the floor crying)You deserved that. I'm leaving. (she's still crying on the floor)
Billy-(walking through the door a few days later) Melissa? Please come here.
Melissa-(walking up to him slowly)What? (kinda covering her face like he's gonna hit her)
Billy-Stop.I'm not gonna hit you.I just wanted to say that I'm really sorry that I hit you the other day.I was drunk and I didn't know what I was doing. I had no right to do it and will u forgive me?
Melissa-Why should I believe you? You were hitting me in the stomach while I was pregnant with Lilly. Then you came back and apoligized and i accepted. Then you came back Monday night and shook Lilly like a mad man and then hit me. Then you left and didn't come back till 2 days later. How do I know you're sincere about this one?
Billy-Just give me one more chance. Please? I'm sorry. I'll try to change.I'll do whatever you want me to.
Melissa-Ok. ONE more chance.This is the last time.But, under one condition.
Billy-what is it?
Melissa-You have to go to church with me every Sunday morning and Sunday night.
Billy-Ok.Will do.
(exits stage)
(in church with a tape of a sermon playing or a preacher preaching. Billy starts nodding off and hits his head on the back of the pew.)
Melissa-(at home)Yeah you paid a lot of attention to the service today.
Billy-You said I have to go.You never said I had to pay attention.
Melissa-Well,now I am.You have to pay attention too.
(at church)
(preacher makes an alter call.Billy walks down and gets saved.)
Melissa-(at home)I'm proud of you.The way you walked down there and confessed of your sins like that.But, you do know that this means no more beer or drugs right?
Billy-Yes.I know. It's gonna be hard but I have a wonderful family that's gonna help me through it.Don't I?
Melissa-Of course.
(curtains close with Billy and Melissa hugging.)
