Episode 3.11
“Honeymoon”
Open to the end of last episode: Carmen is in Rayne’s arms in his hospital room, talking.
Carmen: Some redhead shape-shifting bitch that allied with Feora happened.
Rayne: I can’t believe I missed that…
Carmen: Yeah… But those Watcher people sure helped.
She snuggles in closer to Rayne, who smiles and strokes her hair.
Carmen: Arthur?
Rayne: Yes, Carmen?
Carmen: I’m pregnant.
Rayne stops stroking her hair. He pushes her off her, she rolls onto the ground. Rayne overthrows the chair in a rage.
Rayne: You’re what?
Carmen: I’m pregnant! We’re pregnant!
Rayne: Oh God… no… this is bad… no!
Rayne turns away from Carmen and begins to cry. Carmen gets up and goes over to comfort him.
Carmen: Baby, its ok. I reacted similarly to it as well, but it’ll all be -
Rayne begins to laugh evily. He turns around and has a pistil aimed at Carmen. She backs away, suddenly in her wedding dress, looking eight months pregnant.
Rayne: You thought you could do this to me, didn’t you bitch.
Carmen: Arthur, no!
Rayne fires the gun at Carmen’s stomach, she flies back and lands on the floor, no longer able to move. Rayne then puts the fun to his head and pulls the trigger.
Carmen(Off Screen): No!
As the trigger gets pulled, cut to Carmen lunging forward in her bed, screaming. Rayne lays next to her, still bandaged up from his wounds. Carmen looks around as she calms down. Her breathing slows. She gets up and goes to the curtain. It’s a dark day, rainy and gray. The sun is about to rise. She opens the window and the wind blows through her hair.
Carmen(Voice Over): A week he’s known. Just one. Yet it feels like the pregnancy is not new to him.
Rayne wakes with a grunt and sits up in bed, looking at Carmen. She continues to stare out the window.
Carmen(Voice Over): He comforts me, but it isn’t enough. When is it ever enough? Why isn’t it enough? Our wedding vows… they should have assured me more… but instead they gave me nothing but cold, cold comfort.
The sound of wedding bells is heard as the screen fades to a church on a sunny day. Rayne and Carmen burst through the doors, some wedding guests behind them. Slowly back away to have the light in the background, but up close it is grey and rainy. The view of the wedding is beyond the window now; Carmen looking through at herself. She begins to cry as she watches her own happy self get into a white limo and drive off.
Carmen(Voice Over): Reminiscing about it is the worst. So happy… we were so happy.
The image of the wedding goes back to just a gloomy early morning. Rayne stands up and hugs Carmen from behind, kissing her hair.
Carmen(Voice Over): Well… one of us still is, anyway.
Cut to: Rayne and Carmen kissing in the back of the limo. Champagne glasses in their hands. They pull themselves away, smiling, almost crying for joy.
Rayne: So we’re married…
Carmen: We are!
She snuggles next to her husband.
Carmen: We’re finally settling down together… officially.
Rayne: No more worries about the big day. No troubling the guests to come, and how to seat them or where they will stay.
Carmen smiles and kisses Rayne softly once more.
Carmen: No more of that. For I am now legally Mrs. Carmen Elizabeth White-Rayne!
Rayne: Yes you are. And for taking on such a name, you get a present!
Carmen springs up, giddy. She claps her hands.
Carmen: Ohh a present! I love presents!
Rayne: You’re very materialistic, you know that?
Carmen: Well it’s a tad late to be bringing that up, Arthur!
Rayne: I could just take them back!
Carmen: What back! Take what back?
Rayne pulls out two plane tickets from his tux pocket. Carmen takes them from him, mesmerized by them.
Carmen: How did you afford these?
Rayne: Never you mine. It’s for our honeymoon. Your honeymoon!
Carmen: Oh Arthur! I’ve always wanted to go to Puerto Vallarta!
Carmen grabs him and kisses him again… and then it clicks.
Carmen: What will happen to my store?
