Description: The scene opens on two young women, Gia and Alex, as they sit close together on Alex's couch cuddled under a blanket. The pair have been secretly seeing each other for over almost two years but, in the conservative small town they live in, their kind of love is not accepted. Gia is engaged to the town's deputy major, Gabriel Dwight. Well known in the community, Gabriel was Gia's high school sweetheart: captain of the football team, all state in track, and now the expecting father of her baby. The woman kicks off the blanket, revealing her belly, and slowly slides her feet over to Alex's lap. Alex is busy looking at real estate listings back east. She seems determined and serious while Gia drifts in and out of a baby name book. The camera shows Alex scrolling through the listings, while trying to ignore Gia's footsies. Finally, she shuts her laptop, a smile sneaking across her face. 'Did you get any callbacks on the resumes you sent out?' She asks. Gia shakes her head, adding that it's only been a few days. 'But you did make at least copies of the forms, right?' Alex adds. Gia sits up and puts her arms around her lover. 'Yes baby,' she says. 'I did everything you asked. I filled out the forms, I sent them and the copies to the court clerk in New York. We just have to schedule a hearing when we get there and then they will legalize the name change.' Alex looks relieved. She's been planning their exit for months now, ever since she found out that Gia was pregnant. Alex knew it wasn't her girlfriend's fault. Gabriel was controlling and manipulative. But now they have the perfect opportunity to leave and make a family somewhere more accepting. 'I'm going to marry you as soon as we hit Virginia!' She says proudly. Gia hugs and kisses her, teasing her for being such a goldstar before crawling onto her lap and pulling out some paint samples. They start looking at options for their future baby's room when Gia gets a call from Gabriel, ordering her to come home immediately. The happiness drains from her face as she submissively agrees. Alex looks furious. She hates him so much, but she knows it'll only be a couple more weeks before everything is ready for them to run away. She assures her girlfriend to stay strong and act like everything is normal. He can't suspect a thing. They share a passionate kiss and Gia hurriedly exits Alex's apartment.
