chapter 3
*becky wakes up a few hours after the last scene had ended, for no reason(that happens sometimes, to me at least). she glances over, and is suprised to find that jesse still was not there beside her. she, ahlf asleep gets out of bed, and stumbling, makes her way, down to the recording room, and peeks in. jesse and joey are still at it, talking over ideas, now barly awake. she almost opens her mouth to say something, but decides not to bother, becasue she knows that he will ignore her anyway. so instead she makes her way back to bed*
becky(thinking):i have never seen him so busy before. so busy, that he can't even think of giving his wife a kiss goodbye in the morning, or a kiss goodnight, when she goes to bed. and when was the last time i heard him say i love you? i seriously can't remember.*
*she sighs, as she climbs back into bed, and closes her eyes.*
*the next morning, becky comes down to the kitchen, very lost in thought. this time, knowing the result, she doesnt bother to greet jesse good morning*
danny: good morning becky
becky: ah......what....oh, good morning danny.
Dj: are you ok, aunt becky, you seem preoccupied?
danny: agian.
becky: huh? ah, no, i'm fine, really. *cracks a smile, then looks over at her husband. jesse is falling asleep over the table*
becky: jess?....jess?...jesse!
jesse(jerking his head up): huh? oh, good night hun.
becky: jess, it's 7:30 in the morning!
jesse(yawning): oh, it is, how did that happen?
becky(crossing her arms): you and joey were up all night working on your show! by the way where is joey?
*the scene flashes down in the recording room, joey is fast asleep on the floor*
becky: well, i'm ganna go now,i'll see you there danny.
danny: umm ok, but it's awfully early.
becky: i will stop for some breakfast on the way then, i just need some time alone to think.
danny: ok sure, i'll see you at work then.
becky: bye girls, have a good day at school. and stef, great job at the club last night.
stef: thanks, bye aunt becky.
Dj: bye
michelle: bye
*later that morning, becky stops at a restruant, and after buying herself a begal to munch on, she picks up the pay phone outside the restuarnt, and makes a collect call to her sister connie, in Nabraska.*
becky: hi, connie, it's becky.
connie: becky? hi, my gosh, i was just arriving at work, how are things?
becky: well ok, it's just i needed to ask you a question, i know that's kind of a lousy reason to make a long distance call, but i am kinda desperate.
connie: sure, what is it?
becky: well, it's jesse...
connie: what? is he hurting you, the creep, i'll kill him!
becky: NO!, ah no, no, nothing like that.
connie(sighs): oh, thank god!
becky: acually, hes been more occuiped then usual lately, with his work, and hes not noticing me much anymore, he hasn't even kissed me, since i don't remember when, or said i love you.
connie: oh you poor thing, *scoffs* men! it's might be just a phase, oooh, umm, beck, i gatta go, ok, try not to worry, and i will call you tonite, k?
becky: ok, sure, bye.
connie: bye, love you sis.
*all through work, becky, can't get jesse out of her mind, she worries about his recent behavior, and just how long it will last. she tries hard, throughout the day, to push the thought away, by constantly repeating her sister's words in her head, "it's just a phase, it's just a phase". later that evening, becky decides to try out a new idea of hers*
becky: so jess, how's work going?
jesse: oh, fine honey, everything is so crammed together, i am barly handling it. allyson, doesn't like our current idea for the show, so joey and i have to come up with another one. (throughout explaining this, becky notices, that her husband, never once looked at her, pacing the room tensely)
becky(worried): you mean you guys are ganna be up all night working on the show agian?
jesse: well....no, not all night,....well, maybe most of it, well...don't worry hun.(still no glance up at her, as he leaves the room).
*becky sighs, and looks sadly down at her feet. later at dinner, her mind is so much on jesse, that she can barly eat*
danny: becky, are you ok, you've barly touched your dinner?
Dj: yeah, what's wrong aunt becky?
jesse: is everything ok, sweetheart?
becky(finally looking up, at her husbands first focused words to her): oh, so now, that we are at dinner, and there's nothing to distract you, you are FINALLY noticing me!
jesse: huh, what do you mean, honey?
becky: oh you know exactly what i mean, mr. Katsopolis!
jesse: no, i don't think i do, mrs. Katsopolis!
becky: you know what?! of course you don't, becasue you've been too busy with all your work to know!
*she slams her napkin down on her plate,and storms off, more upset, and hurt, than mad*
jesse: honey!
nicky: why mommy mad?
jesse(sadly): i don't know boys.
*a few minutes after becky reaches her room, adnd sits on the bed, the phone rings. she picks it up*
becky: hello?
connie: hi beck, it's me, i said i'd call back. so hows everything going with jesse?
becky: oh hi connie,*sighs* well, jesse and i just got into a tiff, at the dinner table, becasue he has no idea why i am upset, when the answer should be right in front of his nose. (wipes a tear away).
connie: oh god, what a jerk!
becky: i know, i'm beginning to wonder how much he really loves me, he barly even knows i'm alive anymore, or the boys. it's like hes starting to love his work, more than me, or the boys. *shes's beginning to cry*
connie: oh beck, sure he loves you, i mean, not that i am totally on his side or anything, but work does stuff like that to people. sometimes.
becky: i guess. but how can i tell how much he really loves me.
connie, well the way i see it, there's only one way to know.
becky: what? is it in his eyes, the way he looks at me?
connie: noway, that can be diciving.
becky: then is it in his face.
connie: that's just charms. if you really, REALLY wanna know how much he loves you, theres one way, to be sure, and ONLY one way.
becky: well what is it?
