RACHAEL: (wakes up)

JOE: Morning Rach. 

RACHAEL: Oh, hi Joe.

JOE: Did you sleep alright? 

RACHAEL: Yes, thank you for letting me stay here.

JOE: No problem.

RACHAEL: Listen, about last night... 

JOE: No, it's okay, you don't have to explain, if anything, I'm sorry. 

RACHAEL: Joe, don't apologize. I had a really nice time. 

JOE: Me too. 

RACHAEL: Well, I guess I should go. 

JOE: Ok. Listen, if you ever need anything at all... Just let me know. 

RACHAEL: I will. (hugs him tightly) (leaves) 

58: INT. HOTEL ROOM DAY

Rachael confronts Steven. 

RACHAEL: (comes in)

STEVEN:  (slowly opens his eyes) Oh, hey baby. 

RACHAEL: Hi... 

STEVEN: What's wrong? 

RACHAEL: (bites her lip and hesitates) I... I know about the pills. 

STEVEN: What are you talking about? 

RACHAEL: Steven, Joe told me everything... I know you're taking your pain pills again.

STEVEN: (looks down ashamed) 

RACHAEL: Steven, you need to stop this. 

STEVEN: Listen, it was Tim. He's been sneaking me pills. 

RACHAEL: You need to get rid of him. 

STEVEN: Rach, I can't. He's our manager. 

RACHAEL: Steven, wake up! He doesn't care about you! He's only making your addiction worse! Please stop this! (tears well up in her eyes) I need you... I love you. 

STEVEN: (gets up and embraces her) Hey, shh... Don't cry. 

RACHAEL: (sobbing) Steven, I told you I will not sit here and watch you die! 

STEVEN: (strokes her hair) I know baby... I'm so sorry. I don't deserve you. 

RACHAEL: (caresses his cheek) Steven... This is your last chance... If you don't get help... I'm gonna leave... For good. 

STEVEN: (looks deeply into her eyes) I will. I promise. For you... For Mia. 

RACHAEL: (kisses him) And for our baby. 

STEVEN: (looks up at her in shock) Wh- what? 

RACHAEL: I'm pregnant again. 

STEVEN: (completely breaks down and holds her tighter) Oh my God... Rach, I'm so sorry, I'm so, so sorry! 

RACHAEL: It's okay... Just get the help that you need... I love you. 

STEVEN: I love you so much more. (kisses her passionately)
