Kiss Me Forever

Part 5

ESTHER

Don't be ridiculous. That's impossible. What are you basing that on?

Wednesday looks at Enid. Her eyes are filled with tears, she's shaking her head at Wednesday in fear

WEDNESDAY

Nothing. Just a hunch and an instinct

ESTHER

Do elaborate

WEDNESDAY

Well... a wolf knows their cub right? If there was 10,000 werewolves outside right now, all howling, you'd locate your 6 instantly right>

Esther and Murray both nod

ESTHER

Of course. It's our nature to protect our young

Wednesday walks over to the boys and holds the baby so they can see her

WEDNESDAY

Michael when you look at her, what do you see?

MICHAEL

A baby? A cute one?

WEDNESDAY

Murphy?

MURPHY

It's a baby

WEDNESDAY

Ok, and the rest of you? You see just a baby right?

They all nod in agreement. She stands up and walks over to Enid, slipping the baby into her arms

WEDNESDAY

and what do you see Enid? Look at her. What is she?

Enid looks down, as she blinks the tears rolls down her cheeks

ENID

Everything

WEDNESDAY

Would you die for her?

ENID

In a heartbeat

WEDNESDAY

Would you kill for her?

ENID

Without question

WEDNESDAY

Is there anyone in this whole world that is more important than her

Enid shakes her head, she doesn't take her eyes off of the baby

ENID

She IS the whole world

WEDNESDAY

Enid? Is this your baby?

Enid shakes her head and begins to cry

ENID

Stop. Please don't do this. I watched her come out of you Wednesday... it's impossible...

WEDNESDAY

If I took her off you right now, walked out of that door and never came back, what would you do?

Enid stares into Wednesdays eyes, her tears streaming

ENID

I'd walk the earth until I found you again

WEDNESDAY

And w-

ENID

Both of you. I need BOTH of you

Enid looks at her mother and then back at Wednesday

ENID

Whatever it is you know. Say it.

WEDNESDAY

Enid... we spoke about this...

ENID

I know, but that was before she was born and we have to do what's best for her, even if it does make things awkward or uncomfortable for us. Do you think this is related to Friday night?

Wednesday slowly nods. She takes a step away from Enid, stroking the baby's head as she does so. She takes a breath and addresses the room

WEDNESDAY

I think we can all agree that the boys are of the hook? It's the best if they leave now, they don't need to hear what I'm about to say

The boys stands and exit the room without hesitation. Each Sinclair as relieved as the next, that they aren't directly tied to the Addams family for the next 18 years

ESTHER

And you honestly think that somehow my daughter got you pregnant? I hope that you're planning to explain yourself

WEDNESDAY

Run the test first, then I'll explain everything

The swabs are taken and Miss Álvarez leaves quickly. Enid hands the baby to Murray and the girls sit themselves down on Enid's bed.

WEDNESDAY

I hope you know that by telling you this I'm exposing myself greatly. Not only to you but also to Enid

She turns to Enid and takes her hand

WEDNESDAY

I hope you understand my intentions and know it was never my intention to deceive you
