Expectant

Julie, is that you?

-Julie? -Julie?

It's me. Are you okay?

Julie?

Julie, we're worried about you.

Open the door.

Open the door.

-Julie, open the door. -Go away, you psycho!

-Open the door. -Come on, open the door.

-Julie, open the door. -Open the door!

(knocking and pleading continues)

Let me out!

Let me out, I want to get out!

Julie, you have to push for the baby, Julie.

Okay?

No.

Count to three, okay?

One, two...

No!

No!

Push!

Now push!

So, have you been taking your prenatals

like we talked about last time?

Ah, I was actually gonna go get them today, so...

Please do, Tracy, it's really important.

And how have you been feeling?

Um, fine. Yeah.

Yeah? The nausea is gone?

Mm-hm, yeah, for the most part.

Well, I have to tell you,

you look great for 21 weeks.

Do you want to know what it is?

Um...

Yeah, you know, I prefer not to know.

So you want to keep it a surprise, huh?

Yeah, it was a surprise all right.

Here.

Tracy, is everything okay at home?

Uh, yeah, it's fine.

You know if you're in trouble,

there are people who can help you.

I'm okay. It--it's okay.

Really.

You know what? I've got to go.

Okay, hey.

Don't forget your picture.

Oh.

You know, all right.

What is it?

It's a girl.

All right.

Thanks.

That'll be $25.

We accept credit cards or personal checks, too.

Okay.

I don't suppose I can make it out to cash, can I?

No, sorry, it has to be to the clinic.

Ugh, okay.

-Your shoes. -Oh, I forgot my shoes.

Um...

Wow, look who decided to show up for work.

Where's your uniform?

I need to talk to Ed.

Yeah, Ed's busy.

-What's going on? -Becca, please, it's important.

I need to talk to him.

You know, we were short-staffed this morning.

Hey.

Yeah, Tracy just got in.

Mm-hm. She said she wants to talk to you.

Okay.

He says go back.

Yeah, next time call ahead so I can get a replacement.

Useless.

Come.

Hey, Trace.

Grab a seat.

What do you have in the bag?

Oh, this?

It's just stuff.

Okay. So what's going on?

Ed, I have to go.

Go? Go where?

Um, I don't know.

What do you mean you don't know?

You're having trouble with Bobby again.

I'm pregnant.

I've been trying to hide it for a couple of months.

Just to figure out what I'm gonna do,

but I'm gonna start to show soon,

and if Bobby finds out, he's gonna kill me.

I mean, he's told me a million times

that if he finds out I'm pregnant, he'll shoot me.

I told you before.

What he's doing to you is not right.

-You should press charges. -What for?

He may not be a cop anymore, but that doesn't mean

they're not all buddies.

So, where you gonna go? You got family? Friends?

A place to stay?

No. I'm all alone.

But that's why I need your help.

Well, my place is pretty cramped right now,

-but I can talk to... -Oh, no, Ed, I don't want

to stay at your house.

Um, I need an advance.

Okay.

Give me a couple of days and I'll see what I can do.

No. I can't wait.

If Bobby finds out...

You know what?

Thanks anyway.

Wait, wait.

Maybe this can hold you over for a couple of days.

It's--that's all I have left.

Thanks, Ed. I appreciate it.

Hey, baby.

Where you goin'?

Taking out the trash.

What, does it look like I'm going to the beach?

Why aren't you wearing your uniform then?

It got dirt on it.

What do you care anyways?

Did you want to help me?

You know, I, uh, didn't hear you leaving this morning.

It's probably because you were passed out on the couch.

Don't talk to me like that.

Let go of me.

Hey, look at me. I love you.

Yeah, yeah, I know.

It's just sometimes, you know, you--you...

Hey, baby, I'm--I'm sorry.

Hey, come here.

It's my fault. Okay?

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, baby.

Maybe you want to go see a movie later?

-Yeah. -Yeah?

That'd be great.

Okay.

All right, $60 a night.

In advance. Cash money.

No smoking, no pets, and no guests.

I'm not a prostitute.

Yeah, right.

Did I say 40? It's 60.

Nice try.

All right.

You're in Room 17,

right outside to the right.

And don't be calling me about the leaky shower head.

I already know it.

Have a nice stay.

Hm.

Hey, kiddo.

Can I call you kiddo?

You know, that's what my dad used to call me.

So, you're a girl.

That just means things are gonna be harder for you.

I'm sorry about that.
