At that Tally and Harry walk back in, Tally strops about like a prima-Dona, Harry however sidles himself back to Selena.
Harry: you two ladies have a good chat
Selena: yeah we set a few things straight didn’t we...
Lara: (snidely) yes...
Selena: what about you two
Tally: obviously not, I mean come on....
Harry: Tally...
Tally: okay....
Harry: good... (To Selena) you feeling okay
Selena: (hand on tummy) yeah, just feeling a bit tired
Harry: (putting his arm around her) aww
Selena: you still love me though, like this, fat and boring
Harry: Selena... I’ll love you know matter what, and you’re not boring especially...
Tally: oh that’s sick
Harry: what
Tally: you two... never did this with mum be all sweet and loved up
Harry: Beth was different... she didn’t like that kind of stuff much.. your mum was more of a quiet person, who just loved children
Tally: and what you two are just based on fun loving and accidental pregnancy’s.. please
Lara: she right.... you know.. Harry you and Beth were sweet, good parents there was love there, but you and Selena, is wrong, I don’t see nothing between you apart from Lust I say come on Harry a woman you had a affair with is really the love of your life...
Selena: (really stressing) can you just shut up! Why are you talking as if I’m not here and that it’s my fault... have you ever actually gave it a thought... this is our life now, not yours ours and if me and Harry want to be together then that’s our decision not yours now I love Harry and he’s everything to me... I just can’t understand why you hate this... and if its Beth then you need to get over it she’s dead. We’re in love... (Putting her hands to her head)
Harry: Hey, hey, hey... there’s no need for this, this is not good for your health Selena, seriously you should be taking it easy in your condition
Tally: save the pity she don’t deserve it
Selena just burst out crying, Lara laughed under her breath, and Tally looked evilly at her
Harry: (hugging Selena) you should go and get some rest
Selena just wiped her tears and nodded and walked away,
Once Selena had gone, Harry took a turn for bad temper; he had that angry look upon his face
Harry: What on earth do you think you were doing?
Tally: I weren’t doing anything, just saying the truth that’s all
Harry: The truth.... both of you don’t know the truth.... and Lara I thought you’d have known better
Lara: Better, I could be saying the same to you
Harry: don’t start, look just leave both of you
Tally: we’ve got no-where to go, you can’t just throw us out like this, I’m your daughter
Lara: Come on Harry
Harry: I’m sorry I can’t, this is Selena’s home now as much as it’s mine
Tally: here we go again
Harry: Just stop this... I’m marrying Selena, we’re going to bring up our baby, and we will be happy
Tally: and I’m going to be forgotten about
Lara: and what about you’re other kids, what will you do about them
Harry: Of course, I won’t forget, it’s just our baby is going to come first... you’ve had your time, and now I’ve moved on and so should you
Lara: that’s hardly fair
Harry: Fair...what’s not fair is you’re not letting me be happy, just please try and except Selena, she isn’t a vain woman who is here to take over everything, she is a beautiful caring woman now I want you to see that, so I’m letting you stay but anything such as I foot over the line you’re out of here, and I mean that
Tally: (Hugging Harry) thanks dad I knew you wouldn’t have me out on the streets
Harry: well you are my daughter
Tally: I’m going loo now you got me all excited
Tally runs out of the living room and goes to the upstairs bathroom, Lara walks over to Harry and touches his shoulder
Lara: Thanks.... I always knew that you would let us stay
Harry: (moving away) I’m doing this to show Tally I care... Selena will understand, she’s that sort of person
Lara: she’d best or she’ll have me to answer to
Harry: Lara don’t... you’ll make things worse... I know you two don’t get along, but you could at least have shown some compassion
Lara: she ruined your life
Harry: no, Selena didn’t... I love her Lara and not even, you can change my feelings towards her
Lara: sure about that
Harry: positive
Meanwhile, Tally was making her way upstairs to supposedly use the bathroom, when she stopped outside Harry and Selena’s room Tally peered in trying not to be noticed and there she saw Selena sitting on the bed, crying. A small sense of guilt ran through Tally and she watched the tearful pregnant woman. Tally slowly walks into the bedroom and sits on the end of the bed
Selena just looked at her through the tears with an evil glare; Tally was one of the reasons as to why she was crying. Tally tried to look all-innocent but that look didn’t work
Selena: (Crying) what
Tally: you okay
Selena: (still crying) what would you care... I tried to be nice but all you did was treat me like ****
Tally: I’m only asking, look dad is letting me and Lara stay so I’m sorry for what I said
Selena: (crying) what you said hurt me and Lara... I love Harry, and I always have, you know I do.... you’re the one who got our relationship broadcast around the hospital
Tally: yeah my mum had been dead for two weeks
Selena: (crying) and we were together for 5 weeks, I loved him and still do, and if I’ve lost everything because of you then I hope you’re happy
Tally: he wouldn’t do that to you, I’ve realised that I can see he loves you, but I still can’t accept this as of my mum.... but he said if she was still alive.... he....he would chose you ... how do you think that makes me feel, my family was torn apart
Selena:(Calming down) you can’t choose who you fall in love with and it was instant with us maybe not first time round but on that drugs trial I realised how much I liked him and I didn’t care that he was married as long as I could have him, and now that I do, I don’t want it ruined
Tally: you can’t always get what you want
Selena: I’ve got Harry and that’s all I want, nothing else... I wouldn’t dream of treating Harry bad, have an affair, or anything.. I love him to much to do that Harry is the only man that has ever been good towards me, so what we have is special.. Just don’t wish it to be taken away, from your dad please
Tally: alright, but it wont make me forget what you did... what both of you did, look I’m sorry for being funny about it but, it’s just....
Selena: Don’t worry about it, I know what it’s like to see someone you love and care about with someone else, but we’re happy just let it stay that way... do you really want to see Harry down again loosing everything.. That he wanted
Tally: no... But
Selena: you can’t hate me forever... I’m not even going to try and take the place from your mum, I wouldn’t dream of doing that, I will have my own child to look after, all I’m doing is becoming your dads wife... nothing else, so all I’m asking is to be happy that he has someone.. Who loves him... if not for us than just do it for Harry
A single tear ran down Selena’s face, Tally was sat in thought
Tally: look, I don’t know, maybe... it depends...
Tally left the bedroom leaving Selena, hoping she had said the right things
