She looks down has the tears fell.

Christine: Honestly... I expected him to be mad and upset. I just wasn't ready for the pain it would cause. I know he don't understand, and he has been bounced around all his life cause of me. I knew this day would come where he would finally dispise me. It just hurts having your own flesh and blood... my first born... act like this. They all seem to like you pretty well but of course Scotty. I have tried to do everything right for him... and I guess I have done everything wrong.

Just then Abbey come out and goes over to Christine.

Abbey: Mom... are you ok?

Christine: Not yet... but I will be. Thank you hun.

She looks at John.

Abbey: My brother and I know how Scott feels. We lost our mom when we were about his age or so. Christine has taken us in as hers and loved us when she didn't have too. I hate to see her like this.

Christine: Come here Abbey.

She gives her a hug.

Christine: Your growing up to be a beautiful young lady. I am very proud of you. Will you promise me you will help Jewel take care of the others. And I promise to come see you all and spend time with you all... that is is Scotty will let me.

Abbey: Daddy will talk to him. I know he will come around. All Jamie and I had was daddy for a long time just as Scott just had you. Now I think he is just scared and hurt.

Christine: Do you understand why I am doing this?

Abbey nods.

Abbey: I remember when Dad's monster came out. It was scary and I know you are trying to protect us from yours. I respect you mom for doing that. I know if I need you... all I have to do is call.

Christine smiles.

Christine: Exactly hun. I will still be here for you all. I just can't stay here. And John... you can trust him. He is a really nice guys and he helped me when I couldn't help myself. He has been here for me when I was scared and didn't know where to turn. And... he has helped me keep the monster way. Trust me... I know me looking at your dad... it makes her angry cause she can't let go of what he did. But hun... I still care about your dad and I want to see him happy and I want to protect him so nothing else happens.

Abbey: I know. I love you mom.

Christine: I love you too. I will be in soon.

Abbey hugs Christine and then hugs John before walking inside. Christine looks at John.

Christine: At least I did one thing right. Well make that two. I fell for a man that has made me special, loved, like I am someone special when I feel like nothing. Thank you John... Thank you baby.

She leans over and gives him a kiss and holds his hand. She looks up at him and smiles as he wipes her tears.
