I want a baby
INT. ALEX’S HOUSE- ALMOST MIDNIGHT
(Rere enters her bedroom and she sees Alex working on his laptop)
Rere: hey
Alex: hey (without looking up. Rere enters the closet and starts to remove her shoe, Alex comes into the closet) I want a baby
Rere: (looking confuse) what?
Alex: I want a baby
Rere: (laughing) where is this coming from?
Alex: if you can’t be with me then give me a part of you
Rere: are you serious right now?
Alex; have I never been
Rere: is this about your friends?
Alex: this is about you not having my time
Rere: (in annoyance she walks to their bedroom) I am busy and you know that
Alex: I am busy too Rere, but each time you say you need me, I make time for you
Rere: so you think the solution to me not having your time is having a baby
Alex: yes
Rere: well am not having a baby for you because we never talk about having children
Alex: are you kidding? What happened to you giving me three to four kids?
Rere: I said that in the heat of the moment
Alex: can you even hear yourself Rere?
Rere: (in a loud angry voice) enough Alex, have had enough of your whining
Alex: so now am whining
Rere: I have a hard and stressful job as it is, I can’t do this with you (she goes back to the closet and picks her bag)
Alex: (follows her) no one is asking you to do that job
Rere: (sighs as she wears her shoes) I am trying my best here Alex. No matter how hard my job is, any time am not outside Abuja, I try my best to come back home to sleep
Alex: and you call that a marriage
Rere: if am lucky I have get three hours of sleep a day, unlucky I don’t get any sleep and today, I am lucky, I can’t waste my time hearing you whine like a child every chance you have got (she walks out of their bedroom)
Alex: Rere where are you going? (He follows her. Rere give no response as she walks out of the house into her car and she starts her car engine) Rere, where are you going? (He taps on her car. Rere drives out of their compound) Rere Rere. Shit

He's running out of logical and rational options to keep rere with him. He's down to the baby factor
