Forever and a Day

[Gemini16]

Yet ANOTHER EastEnders script. All about Steve and Mel Owen!

part 1

(Mel is washing up in the kitchen, suddenly she feels a twinge.)

Mel: Ouch!

(3 hours later the pain is much worse, Mel realises she's in labour! Mel calls an Ambulance, then she calls
Steve, at E20.)

(Over at E20 Beppe Di Marco answers the phone.)

Beppe: E20.

Mel: Beppe, is Steve available at the moment?

Beppe: Hang on, I'll just get him.

(There is noise in the background as Mel waits for Steve to answer. A shoot of pain goes through Mel's stomach;
she tries to breathe through the pain. Steve answers.)

Steve: Hello, Steve Owen, speaking.

Mel: Steve, (gasp), it's Mel...

Steve: Are you alright, babe, you sound as if you're in pain?

Mel: Steve, listen to me, I need you to come home..(gasp)... quickly.

Steve: What's wrong, are you hurt?!

Mel: No..(gasp)..no.

Steve: Then what?

(Mel's voice becomes choked with tears of happiness.)

Mel: Well...I'm about to have our baby!

PART 2

(Steve's just got off the phone. He rushes into the office to grab his coat and keys. As Steve rushes out he bumps into Beppe.)

Beppe: Whoa! Slow down, Steve, mate. Where's the fire?

Steve: Beppe, are you okay on your own?

Beppe: Yeah, sure. What’s the matter?

Steve: Mel’s in labour.

(Steve hurries out to his car and drives to Walford General.)

(In the Delivery Suite.)

Midwife: Right, Melanie, you’re almost fully dilated.

Mel, (in pain.): Steve Owen when you get here I’ll kill you!

(Downstairs Steve rushes to reception.)

Steve, (hurried): I’m looking for Melanie Owen, she’s having a baby.

Receptionist: You are?

Steve: Steve Owen, her Husband.

Receptionist: Okay. (Types Mel’s name into the computer.) Right, she’s in Maternity. You go into lift up to Level 2 and turn right, she’s delivery room 3.

Steve: Thanks.

(Up in delivery room 3.)

Midwife: Okay, Melanie, you’re doing really well, just relax...

(Knock at the door.)

Midwife: Just a minute.

(The Midwife opens the door. Steve explains who he is.)

Midwife: There’s a visitor for you, Melanie.

(Steve walks over to Mel.)

Mel, (breathless.): Steve.

Steve: Babe, how are you?

Mel, (laughing): I’ve been better.

(30 minutes later.)

Midwife: Okay, Melanie, I can see the head. On the next contraction push really hard for me.

Mel: (starts to cry.) Acccccccccccccccccch!!

Steve, (gently mops Mel’s brow with a cool flannel.): Alright, babe.

Midwife: Well done, the head’s out, one last push.

Mel: Acccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccch!!!!!!!!!!!!

(A baby starts crying.)

Midwife: Congratulations, Mr &Mrs Owen, you have a healthy baby girl.

(The midwife gently cleans the baby then wraps her in a blanket.)

Steve: It’s finally happened, Mel...we’re parents!

(The midwife hands the baby to Mel.)

Mel, (choked with tears of happiness.): Oh Steve, isn’t she beautiful?

Steve: Just like you.

(Steve and Mel kiss.)

(A while later.)

Mel:, (looking down at her baby.): Well, little one, I think we should call you.... Lydia.

Steve, (curious): Why Lydia?

Mel: I used to know someone at school called Lydia...she was a really sweet girl, a few years younger than me.

Steve: Fair enough.......how about Jacqueline for her middle name?

Mel: After Jackie?

.(Steve nods.)

Mel: Perfect
.
Steve: Lydia Jacqueline Owen...our daughter
