Twenty Four Weeks - Episode 24 - "Thirty Five" (PG)

By James David Denisson

Twenty Four Weeks
Episode 24- "Thirty Five"

Judd makes a decision about his future... Quinn and Judd rush to hospital... Judd makes a terrible discovery...
“Are you okay?” I ask her, but it is a stupid question.
“More contractions,” she tells me. “Worse than before.”
“Are you bleeding again?” My blood is running cold. We are here again. Eight months. Too early.
She shakes her head as another contraction takes her.
“I think she's coming..."

Still reeling from the shock of discovering his wife's infidelity, Judd Altman learns that he has lost his father and will be one himself. His soon to be ex-wife, Quinn, is pregnant with his child.
After almost losing the baby, Wade (Judd's old boss and Quinn's lover) realizes the truth about himself and his relationship with Quinn and leaves her. Judd, in the face of Quinn's situation, forgives her, but cannot reconcile their marriage.
With nothing but a stolen Porsche, Judd drives to Maine with limitless possibilities. A man with nothing has nothing to lose, and a man with nothing to lose can do anything.
Twenty Four Weeks begins with Judd's time of reflection in Maine and his eventual decision to return to New York City, to take back the life that has been so cruelly taken from him. Sometimes humorous, this bitter-sweet tale is full of hope, love and forgiveness.
With characters and back story based on the novel "This is Where I Leave You" by Jonathan Tropper, Twenty Four Weeks is set after the events of the movie of the same name.

Previously…

She takes me in her arms and holds me, rocks me gently. She kisses my forehead, pulls my face to her and kisses my lips. I feel my tears wet our lips as we kiss, harder by the second. I taste the saltiness of my tears. I feel her hand reach around and cup the side of my face tenderly.

She pulls away and takes a deep breath. I’ve got to stop doing that to myself.

Why? I ask her.

I keep telling myself that this is right and that everything is going to be fine. Then I kiss you and I feel my love for you get stronger and I can’t make love to you and it hurts. It hurts so much.

I know.

"You keep saying that, but you’re still not in my bed. You keep promising that you’ll make love to me soon, and you don’t. And every day I just need you more and I’m going to burst."

I say nothing. I want to say that we’re walking through the consequences of our actions, but she’s not going to hear that. She’ll hear that I’m blaming her for my mental impotence, but I’m blaming myself
