Riley and Auggie Matthews

June 2002

In Philadelphia

Amy: I'm glad you guys are here, but aren't you busy with school

Cory: Yeah, we are, but we decided to come pay you guys a little visit

Alan: I feel like you're going to tell us something important

Rhiannon: Did something happen with Law school Topanga

Topanga: No, Mom everything is fine than, but I might have to take a little break from becoming a lawyer

Jedidiah: Why would that be?

Topanga: Well.....*looks at Cory*

Cory: Topanga and I are going to be parents in 6 months

Amy, Alan, Rhiannon, and Jedidiah: *eyes widen*

Topanga: Uh Oh

Amy: You're pregnant *looks at Topanga*

Topanga: Yes, Ma'am

Rhiannon: Topanga how... How.. how could you be...

Jedidiah: So Stupid

Topanga: *surprised at what her parents said* What?!?!?

Jedidiah: You're 22 years old.. What about school

Topanga: I'm still in school just right before the baby comes I'll have to stop and I won't go back until I'm settled

Rhiannon: That could be 10 years from now

Alan: Cory

Cory: Look guys. Topanga and I know we're young and we didn't mean for this to happen, but we're going to be the best parents we can be. I'm done with school I just have to take a few more courses and I'll start off as a substitute teacher than make my way into being an actual teacher. Topanga's internships are bringing in a lot of money so we can save that for the baby and Shawn has a good paying job

Amy: Shawn is still going to live there when you have the baby

Cory: Where else would he go?

Amy: OK

Rhiannon: Babies need a lot of stuff

Topanga: We have money saved that we were going to use to my a second car and a house for the future, but we're just going to use it for the baby

Jedidiah: You're too young you live in another state

Topanga: I'm keeping this baby and I'm going to raise it. You be wonderful Grandparents or you can just leave and I'll never speak to you again

Rhiannon: *signs*

Rhiannon and Jedidiah stand up

Jedidiah: We're sorry Topanga we need some time *they leave*

Topanga: *burst out crying*

Amy gets up and hugs Topanga tightly

Cory: I'm sorry Topanga

Alan: We're always here for you guys, but once the baby comes we're going to give you some space so you understand the responsibility

Cory: We understand Thank you guys

Amy: Come on Topanga let's go lie down *walks with Topanga upstairs*

Cory: Why would Topanga's parents do that. They ruined her life once now they won't know their Grandchild

Alan: It may be hard for them. Topanga's family is "perfect" they expect a lot from one another and I guess having a baby this young was what they expect

Cory: I understand that, but we got married at 19. Moved away at 20. If we can do all that I believe we can handle a baby.

Alan: They just need space

Cory: I'm going to go check on Topanga

Alan: OK

Cory walks upstairs and see's her Mom walking out of the bedroom

Cory: Is she OK ,Mom

Amy: *shakes her head* No, I don't think she'll ever be OK with this

Cory: *signs*

Amy: She's resting. Before you leave call Topanga's parents make sure this is really what they want

Cory: OK Mom, Thank You

Amy: No problem *walks back downstairs*

Cory walks into the bedroom

Cory: Hey Topanga *calm whisper voice*

Topanga: *sniffling* I'll never see my parents again will I?

Cory: Don't say that, they'll come around and hopefully it's before the baby comes

Topanga: *hand on her belly* I want our baby to always be loved

Cory: They will be *kissing Topanga's head*

Topanga: I Love You

Cory: *smiles* I Love You, too
