Scene One: Harper Memorial Hospital. Everyone, excepting Erica, is called from whatever they are doing to the hospital. DYLAN: What is going on, Rose? ROSEMARY: Natalya is giving birth. ALEX: What happened? ROSEMARY: Her water broke while I was talking with her. MICHELLE: Hope she is all right. AUDRA: I am sure she is. DYLAN: Where's Dad? ROSEMARY: He's on the phone with Cliff Atkinson. DYLAN: Hope it's nothing serious. ROSEMARY: Me neither. I am more worried about Natalya. DYLAN: She will be fine, Sis. Natalya is strong, like us. She may not have been BORN a Harper, but she's a Harper now. She fits in well with us. MICHELLE: Yes, she does. (The family waits and hopes) Scene Two: The Atkinson Home. Stephanie saunters in, unaware that Cliff had caught her cheating on him, and having had done so throughout the marriage. STEPHANIE: Good, nobody else is here. Nobody knows what I did, and nobody is the wiser! (Stephanie smiles to herself as she puts her stole in the closet. A door slams. She hears a yell!) CLIFF: STEPHANIE! I WANT YOU DOWN IN THE LIVING ROOM AT ONCE! STEPHANIE: Oh oh! (Her stomach sinking, she descends the staircase to find an angry Cliff; Mark; Liane and Jane glaring at her from all directions) JANE: You've made that mistake we warned you about. LIANE (sneering): A MAJOR one! CLIFF (in a deadly cold voice): Where were you tonight, Stephanie?! STEPHANIE: I was.....was at a charity function! CLIFF (angrier): Don't you dare lie to me, I will ask again, WHERE were you?! STEPHANIE: We should talk about this alone. CLIFF: What is to be said can be said in front of MY family! My children and the woman I STILL consider my mother in law! WHERE WERE YOU?! STEPHANIE: Where do you think I was?! CLIFF: I CAUGHT YOU IN A RESTAURANT WITH SOMEONE ELSE! STEPHANIE: You are crazy! Have you any proof?! CLIFF: You deny it?! STEPHANIE: I don't have to answer that. CLIFF (exploding): I CAUGHT YOU IN A RESTAURANT WITH SOMEONE ELSE! DO YOU DENY IT?! (Stephanie is frozen in fear.) Scene Three: WBOS. Erica, who ignored the summons to go to the hospital, is working on some paperwork. Her sister, Veronica stops in, while she is on her way to be with Michael and Natalya. VERONICA: Aren't you coming to the hospital? ERICA: I have no business at the hospital. VERONICA: What are you saying? Michael's wife is giving birth! ERICA: I don't count that slut as my sister in-law! I can't believe you are falling for her lies! VERONICA: She IS our sister in-law. She is married to Michael. Why are you being so brutal?! ERICA: Shelby should still be alive. I think she had her killed! VERONICA: You know that is not true, Erica. Shelby was murdered by someone else when she lived in Smythewood. ERICA: I don't care. That tramp took over Shelby's place as Mrs. Michael Harper! VERONICA: I have no time for this insanity, Erica. I am going to the hospital. Michael needs his family around him. I think you are being very selfish, Erica. (Veronica storms out of the room, Erica slams the door in rage) Scene Four: Harper Industries; Michelle Harper's office. Sydney is fielding calls because of Michelle being at the hospital. SYDNEY: No, no, Ms. Harper is out of the office. I will issue a statement regarding the Bennett prosecution as soon as she get back. I can't reveal anything, because Ms. Harper wants to reveal it herself, and I am not going against my boss. Thank you! (Sydney reclines back. The phones had been flashing all morning. Her personal cell rings, it's Michelle) MICHELLE (Split screen with Sydney): A mad house, I take it? SYDNEY: More so than you think. Everyone wants to know the news about Nigel's prosecution. MICHELLE: If you need to reveal the details, you follow your own discretion, ok? SYDNEY: I will, how is Natalya doing? MICHELLE: Nothing yet, Dr. Stevenson will let us know, and I will call you as soon as I know something. SYDNEY: Ok, keep me updated. MICHELLE: Hold on, it look like something is going on. Dr. Stevenson is in. SYDNEY: You want me to hold the line? MICHELLE: Yes, I want you to hear this. (Sydney is in anticipation) Scene Five: Another part of the waiting room. Sheila Watkins is with her sister, Anyssa, and their respective husbands, Allen and Bryan Forson. SHEILA: I think Mom has been given some news. Chris's murderer has been charged. ANYSSA: Thank heavens. Was Chris buried? SHEILA: Aunt Samantha had the funeral arrangements taken care of. She was given carte blanche to take care of things. ANYSSA: I am glad. Everything is all right now. SHEILA: They are empaneling a grand jury you know. The murderer will be extradited here to the states, possibly. ANYSSA: Who killed Chris? SHEILA: A former Harper Industries employee, Nigel Percival-Bennett. ANYSSA: Didn't he work in acquisitions in London? SHEILA: Yeah, nearly a major department head. He broke up Chris and Bill, and then he taunted Chris with lies. Drove him to kill himself. Then he had the nerve to try to break up Dylan and Alex. ANYSSA: So, it was murder. SHEILA: Yeah, not to mention he tried to steal a goodly amount of money from the company. ANYSSA: Look, here comes Mom, and she looks happy. MICHELLE: Girls, we have some good news. Natalya had her baby. The nurse said we can go to the nursery. (Sheila, Anyssa and their husbands go to the nursery with the rest of the family) (Voice of Cornelia Frances: "Harpers Falls: A New Beginning will continue in a moment, here on ONtv") Scene Six: Natalya's room. Everyone is in. Michael is with his wife, as she holds her new son. VERONICA: He is absolutely gorgeous, Mike. SHEILA: He certainly is. Hi there, little cousin. JASON: I think he's got his father's handsome looks. SANDRA: And his mother's bright eyes. NATALYA: Thank you, Sandra. PATRICIA: Where's Erica? VERONICA: She chose not to come. PATRICIA: A fine thing, her own nephew, and she chooses not to come! MICHAEL: That is neither here or there, Aunt Patricia, it matters that everyone else is. PATRICIA: Still I am going to have a few words with that girl. SANDRA: Let's not worry about it. Natalya, have you a name for the guy here? NATALYA: Yes, I certainly do. MARK: What is it going to be? NATALYA: Christopher Dylan Harper. SHEILA: Named after my late brother! NATALYA: That's right, Sheila; and named after his older brother, Dylan. (Dylan gets tears in his eyes) MICHELLE: Thank you, Natalya, at least I know Chris lives on in baby Christopher. NATALYA: Michael and I talked about it when I got pregnant. Before he was born, we had bandied about names. I never met your son, but I knew he was a fine young man, and to lose his life when he did was terrible. So we thought to honor him, and to honor Michael's son, in this manner, was only appropriate. DYLAN: Thank you, Natalya. I am moved and honored. (Dylan kisses Natalya on the cheek) NATALYA: Your dad said you were something special, and I knew he was right. Know that I am proud of you, just like your dad. DYLAN (blushing): Thank you, Natalya. (The family gives the new mother and baby love. Patricia goes out of the room. Sheila notices this) SHEILA: Aunt Patricia, are you all right? PATRICIA: I am fine, darling. Don't worry. I have to go to Boston. SHEILA: To talk to Aunt Erica? PATRICIA: To try to talk some SENSE into that woman. I could never fool you, could I, darling? SHEILA: Neither me or Dylan. PATRICIA: I will be back later. Let everyone know, ok? (Patricia kisses her great-niece, and she goes to her car) Scene Seven: The Atkinson Home. CLIFF: I am asking you once more! DO YOU DENY THAT YOU WERE WITH ANOTHER MAN AT THAT RESTAURANT?! STEPHANIE: Why don't you trust me?! CLIFF: I made that mistake once too often! You are NOT to be trusted, Stephanie. JANE: What about THIS?! (She thrusts two sets of papers at Stephanie) STEPHANIE: What are these? JANE: One is a copy of a will; one YOU forged! The other is a pre-nuptual agreement that you had nullified! STEPHANIE: So?! CLIFF: You were trying to fleece me out of everything that I had! STEPHANIE: I am your WIFE! MARK: No, you're not! STEPHANIE (glaring at Mark): You shut up! CLIFF: Don't you DARE speak to MY son in that manner! STEPHANIE: I am still your wife, and whatever crimes you think I have done, you still love me! CLIFF: The only think you ever REALLY loved is my money! LIANE (shooting her a deadly look): You are nothing more than a conniving gold-digging slut! (Stephanie loses her temper and slaps Liane across the face) STEPHANIE: You don't EVER call me a slut, you bitch! (Jane glares at Stephanie as she goes to her granddaughter. Cliff glares at Stephanie) CLIFF: You have one hour. One hour to get your bags and everything that you own out of this house! I don't ever want to see you again! STEPHANIE: You don't MEAN that! CLIFF: I most certainly do! I am going to my attorney tomorrow, and file for divorce. If you are still here, I am going to have charges filed against you for assault. STEPHANIE: Who did I assault? CLIFF: MY daughter! (Liane sneers at the hated Stephanie) STEPHANIE: You will pay for this! Mark my words, you will pay for this! CLIFF: I won't, you tramp! YOU will! As of right now, you are cut off from here without a cent! Get out of my house! I was so blind. I should have NEVER met you, let alone marry you! STEPHANIE: How dare you do this to me?! CLIFF: You did this to yourself! You lied to me from the first day we were married! I want NOTHING more to do with you! Get out within the hour! And I don't want to see you even in that time frame! LIANE: Oh, by the WAY, Stephanie! STEPHANIE (in anger): WHAT?! LIANE: I also let it slip about your secret. I told Dad all about it! MARK: What did you tell him, Sis? LIANE (smiling a nasty smile at her enemy): How she murdered an old boyfriend of her's in college! I think you are going to get a call from the police in Cambridge! CLIFF: And there is NO statute of limitations when it comes to murder cases! (Stephanie looks sickened. Her life is over, and she knows it) Scene Eight: Outside of Natalya's room. Michelle; Sheila and Anyssa are talking. MICHELLE: I talked with Sydney. She told me that Lonsdale has contacted the authorities in the UK. Nigel will be charged with Chris's murder. SHEILA: That is so good. ANYSSA: Will I be needed with prosecution? MICHELLE: Not unless he is extradited. SHEILA: Any word on that? MICHELLE: I don't think it will come to that. SHEILA: Here's hoping that happens. ANYSSA: I don't think we have anything to worry about. MICHELLE: At least that is taken care of. SHEILA: Yeah. ANYSSA: Let's get back in the room, and see the new baby. (Michelle, and her daughters, go back in the room to be with Natalya and her baby) Scene Nine: The Atkinson Home. Stephanie has her bags packed. The servants glare at her, as she grabs her bags. STEPHANIE: What the hell are you lot looking at?! (The head butler glares at her) BUTLER: We have our orders to get you out of here. SECURITY GUARD: Look forward and don't even look back! STEPHANIE: You lot will pay for disrespecting me! (Enter Cliff) CLIFF: You disrespected this marriage! You don't have any say about anything here anymore! STEPHANIE: I will make you pay for this! CLIFF: Shut up! The staff is doing my orders! They are doing what I told them! STEPHANIE: I hate you for this, Cliff! CLIFF: You brought all this on yourself. Don't blame me for any of this! STEPHANIE: I will win. You can't keep Stephanie Rendell down for long. CLIFF: By the way, I have some more news for you! STEPHANIE: I don't give a damn about ANYTHING you have to say! CLIFF (unfazed by Stephanie's nastiness): My friend, Michael Harper. STEPHANIE: What about that damned Harper? CLIFF: His wife, Natalya, had a baby boy! (Stephanie grabs her bags and storms out of the house!) LIANE: AND DON'T LET THE DOOR HIT YOU IN THE BUTT ON THE WAY OUT! (Stephanie glares at the house. She will NEVER be a part of this family again!) Scene Ten: WBOS. Patricia is allowed to see Erica. ERICA: Will whoever is there just go away?! PATRICIA: Not until you give me a few answers, young lady! ERICA (in fear): Aunt Patricia, what are you doing here?! PATRICIA: I want to know why you are acting like a cruel bitch, and you didn't go to see your nephew?! (Erica is shaking in fear now. The scene fades) (Voice of Vail Bloom: "On the next Harpers Falls: A New Beginning...") STEPHANIE (to Craig): Cliff Atkinson will PAY for humiliating me! JANE (to Cliff): You don't worry. Stephanie has been demolished and she has lost her leverage. ROSEMARY (to Stephanie): Well, well, well, it looks like you've been finally destroyed! Couldn't have happened to a better person. |
