(Everyone goes to sit down…an hour later…after everyone has danced and eaten…the song “Back to Your Heart” comes on. Kevin gets up and walks up to Kayla.)
Kevin: (holding out his hand) Shall we?
Kayla: Yea…sure. (Gets up)
Elena: (whispering) Tell him…or I will.
Kayla: Doodie head. (Walks out with Kevin to the dance floor)
(They start out as the only couple on the dance floor…but slowly…Brian and Alexa, Elena and Guido, Nick and Trish, and AJ and Liz…get up and dance. Elena and Nick keep on staring at each other while dancing with their dates…Kayla and Kevin don’t talk…they just dance…the song ends)
Kayla: Good song…I wonder who wrote it.
Kevin: I hear it’s someone who was trying to get his lovely girlfriend back. (Smiles)
Kayla: (looks down) Kevin…we need to talk.
Kevin: (looks down to see the expression on Kayla’s face) Why don’t I like the sound of that?
Kayla: Come on…let’s get some air. (Takes Kevin by the hand and walks outside on the balcony and sits down on a bench)
(With Brian and Alexa…dancing away to “Waiting for tonight”…Alexa starts laughing hysterically)
Brian: What the heck are you laughing at?
Alexa: Oh…nothing…actually something that happened last night…but you’re not going to find out about it.
Brian: Oh…I see how it is.
Alexa: That’s right.
Brian: (grabs her hand and spins her around) So what is your take on this whole Nick/Elena thing?
Alexa: I have no idea what’s going on…one minute I’m really close with them…then I go off to study…then I’m left in the dark.
Brian: Well you were in your own zone for awhile there.
Alexa: That’s how I get when I have big tests coming up.
Brian: I’m not saying it’s bad…I think it’s kind of cute…but you did kick Elena out of the house.
Alexa: Yea…I know…I have apologized for that.
Brian: Good girl. (Kisses her forehead) Now what is up with Elena’s date?
Alexa: That’s Guido.
Brian: And where did she meet him?
Alexa: (laughs) In a very professional manner…he was stripping for us last night.
Brian: Oh my god…he was your stripper?
Alexa: Yea…she was a little wasted when she asked him…he came to the door and she was like…do I know you? And he’s like…you asked me to be your date…it was funny.
(Back to Kayla and Kevin…sitting there…in silence)
Kevin: Kay, what’s going on? It’s really starting to freak me out. You haven’t been the bright and chipper girlfriend I love so much since I got back from the Bahamas.
Kayla: Something happened while you were away.
Kevin: Something? What do you mean?
Kayla: Well…remember the end of our Hawaii trip...you know…when we never left the room?
Kevin: Yea…
Kayla: Well…remember that first time we…you know…made love?
Kevin: Yea.
Kayla: We didn’t use protection.
Kevin: Now that I think about it…we didn’t.
Kayla: Yea well…I was late.
Kevin: Late?
Kayla: Laaaaaaaaaate…so I went to the drug store…picked up a pregnancy test…and took it. (Starts to tear up)
Kevin: (puts his arm around her) And?
Kayla: It was positive.
Kevin: Oh god…are you saying I’m going to be a father?
Kayla: (starts to cry) Yes and no.
Kevin: Huh?
Kayla: I was pregnant…I called you to tell you…but the producer hung up on me…that night…my stomach was killing me…I was making breakfast…went to go tinkle…and…and…(breaks down into tears)
Kevin: What happened?
Kayla: I lost the baby Kevin. I had a miscarriage.
Kevin: (in shock)
Kayla: That’s why I kept on telling you I was so sorry at the airport…it just finally hit me that it happened.
Kevin: Why didn’t you tell me then?
Kayla: I tried too…(gets up) lord knows I tried…but everytime I went to tell you…I froze…or panicked.
Kevin: Oh sweetie…(gets up and walks over to her) come here. (Pulls her in for a hug) You could have told me…but I understand why it was hard for you.
Kayla: It was the hardest thing to happen to me…I wanted to tell you…I just couldn’t.
Kevin: Shhh…it’s gonna be ok.
Kayla: I need to ask you something.
Kevin: Anything.
Kayla: (Looks up at him) If I didn’t lose it…what would we have done?
Kevin: Are you kidding me? You know what we would have done.
Kayla: I would never do that Kevin…I could never get rid of it. (Pushes him away from her, anger and hurt in her eyes)
Kevin: Whoa…who said anything about getting rid of it? You actually think that I would think about getting rid of a child that I helped create?
Kayla: I…I…
Kevin: Kayla…I would never do that…you wanna know what I would have done?
Kayla: Uh huh. (Wiping away tears)
Kevin: First of all, I would have been jumping up and down for joy at the fact that the woman I am totally in love with is carrying my child. Then I would run out of the house…run to the closest jewelry store…found the prettiest ring and buy it immediately. I would go home…ask you to marry me…and we would raise our child together.
Kayla: (starts to tear up again) Oh…I get it…so the only reason why you would marry me is because we were stupid enough to have sex without protection…great Kevin.
Kevin: (smacks his head) That's not what I meant. Ok…hold on a second…I have to get something out of my jacket. (Gets up and runs to his jacket and pulls something out of his pocket and then runs passed everyone and back outside)
