The scene opens to the Wilk household on a Friday morning and it’s all quite busy as Nathaniel Nitro, Mina Wilk, Maria Wilk and even Almira Wilk are all packing stuff up for their move to where Nate lives in Stamford, Connecticut. Nate can be seen making his way down the stairs carrying a couple of bedside tables in each hand, one from Mina’s bedroom and the other from Almira’s. As soon as he sets them both down, a knock is heard at the door and Nate looks over to the front door before turning his attention to Mina.
Nate: I’ll get it. Probably the removal guys…
Nate grabs the door handle and opens it up to find a gaunt man standing there. Tats up both arms creeping up his neck and more piercings than one could count. Dressed in a black hoodie with a cutoff plaid shirt overtop of it, he’s startled at the sight of Nathaniel standing there.
Nate: Are you one of the removal guys?
?: Nah, man. I’m Dave, I’m here to see Mina. Who you?
Nate’s a bit unsure of the man so he refuses to answer and glances back towards where Mina is busy packing.
Nate: Mina?! There’s some guy here to see you!
Mina comes up the hallway and seeing Dave, she stops cold and tenses up. Maria, who’d been standing on the stairwell, motions Almira to go upstairs and whispers to Nate ‘it’s Almira’s father’.
Mina: Fuck you doing here?
Dave: Heard you were moving. Where you going?
Mina: None of your damn business, Dave.
Dave looks past Mina into the house, obviously looking for Almira.
Dave: You know damn well anything that pertains to my daughter, I need to know about.
Mina crosses her arms over her chest and can’t help but start laughing.
Mina: So… the daughter you’ve never cared to see or helped me with, and now you’re trying to be all Daddy Dearest?
Dave staggers a little at the door, obviously high.
Dave: About that, how much do I owe you again?
Mina: Let’s see? Three years, five months, so that’s forty-one months, at six hundred a month, about twenty-five THOUSAND by now? Or, you can sign your rights away. We’ve had this talk before. You ALSO know you can’t come around whenever you want to.
Dave: I want to see her…
Mina can smell the alcohol on his breath as well and blocks the door again.
Mina: Dave, you have two options. You can leave willingly or I call the cops. Again.
Nate: Or there’s option number three…
Suddenly, Nate grabs Dave by the scruff of his top and slams him against the wall, Mina looking worried goes to intervene but Nate turns to her and looks into her eyes with a sincere expression on his face.
Nate: It’ll be okay, Mina… trust me.
He then turns his attention back to Dave and now the sincere look has now transformed into a snarl.
Nate: Let me ask you a question, boy… are you familiar at all with the Shieldmaidens and the Chrome Dragons?
Dave, in his lack of wisdom, tries to toughen up while he’s being held up on the wall.
Dave: They’re those damn dyke biker wrestling chicks, right? Wait, YOU are threatening ME with a bunch of fake wrestler carpet munchers? Fuck outta here son. Let go of me.
Nate immediately smashes his head into Dave’s nose before grabbing his right arm and twisting it up behind him, slamming Dave stomach first into the wall he was previously driven into.
Nate: That fake enough for ya?! See… I know someone who is a Shieldmaiden… as a matter of fact? She’s family. And she knows Mina very well and they’re real close. And considering how you’ve shown how much of a bitch you are instead of a real man… by abusing such a wonderful woman like Mina… and abandoning such a sweet kid like Almira? Your third option is simple. I might ‘accidentally’ give this family member of mine a call and tell her about the things you’ve done…
Nate wrenches Dave’s arm even more as he screams in agony.
Nate: ...and then she might ‘accidentally’ tell her fellow Shieldmaidens and her Chrome Dragons brethren… and believe me, boy… they’ll hunt you and your gang down…
He then leans in closer to Dave’s ear and whispers.
Nate: ...and they’ll put you six feet under. Do you understand?
Dave tries not to scream, and tries to break free. After a minute he sighs and resigns himself to his predicament.
Dave: What do you want, man?
Nate: I want you to leave Mina and Almira alone and never bother them again. You screwed up your chance to be a partner and a father and they want nothing to do with you.
Keeping hold of Dave, Nate turns his attention to Mina.
Nate: Anything you want from this son of a bitch that I haven’t already mentioned, babe?
Dave tries to look over Nate’s shoulder and read Mina’s face but she’s offering no mercy as she could burn a hole through him with her eyes if she had that ability.
Mina: Much as I won’t see the money, I’ll have my lawyer send the parental waiver form to your mother’s place for you to sign. And you WILL sign it. Are we clear?
Dave struggles again, and before he has a chance to argue, Nate wrenches his arm again.
Dave: Yeah… yeah, ok. I’ll sign it.
Mina: I didn’t want this to get to this point, Dave. Also, if any of your boys come looking for me, or trying to show your faces around just to be around? My man here isn’t lying. There would be close to forty Harleys coming to your hood looking for you. You don’t want that. Consider this the last time we see each other. Now leave.
Nate then finally releases his hold on Dave and the guy swiftly takes his leave as Nate and Mina both watch. As soon as he disappears around the corner, without saying a word, Nate walks up to Mina and embraces her in a hug, softly rubbing her back as he breathes angrily through his nose.
Nate: You have no idea how badly I wanted to beat his punk ass into the ground, Mina. The one thing that stopped me from doing it was the thought of getting thrown back into prison again and losing you guys forever.
Mina squeezes him, and looks up into his eyes. The anger fading from her as she sees the fear and anger in him.
Mina: Babe, listen to me. The only reason I would have stopped you is because Almira would have seen it. You’re not losing me that easily. I’d be at every visit I could book if I had to, but truth be told, I’d much rather have you here. I’d be your prison ol’ lady for life if I had to, you’re stuck with me.
As the two are still in their embrace, Maria and Almira come down the stairs. Almira runs over and hugs Nate’s leg.
Almira: Stuck with us, Mama.
Nate smiles and strokes his hand through Almira’s hair as he shares a kiss with Mina before they all make their way back into the house to finish packing as the scene fades.

The scene re-opens later in the day in the evening to Nate’s home as Mina stands in the doorway of Almira’s new bedroom with her arms folded and a large smile on her face as she stares at Nate and her daughter who are both fast asleep. Almira under her blanket cuddling into Nate who is lying on top of the blanket and his arm around Almira as an open children’s book is resting on his chest. Mina takes her phone out, mutes the shutter sound and takes a picture of them, smiling like a dork and trying not to cry.
Mina: I have never seen her like this before.
Mina comes into the bedroom and picks up the book and places it on the shelf. She kisses Almira’s head before going to the other side of the bed and kisses Nate on the lips, waking him up softly.
Mina: Hey, how many times did she get you to read the story to her?
Nate blinks a few times to properly wake himself up before he slowly lifts his arm so as to not disturb Almira and stands to his feet and lets out a silent yawn.
Nate: I lost count…
He looks down at the little sleeping angel and smiles.
Nate: She’s definitely gonna grow up into a stunner… just like her Mom.
Mina blushes and sighs.
Mina: Still not used to the compliments, the sincere ones. I checked on Mom, she’s settling in well. I think it’s hitting her harder than me, this move. She’s strong, she feels like she’s in luxury and she is. I don’t think she ever expected to see that or experience it herself.
Nate: It’s going to take a while for us all to get adjusted to everything, all of us have gone through big changes. I’m still getting used to being a Dad now… I mean… Almira’s guardian. I don’t know why I said Dad, it kinda just slipped out… I shouldn’t have assumed like that… it’s Almira’s decision not mine. I’m sorry.
Mina wraps her arms around him from behind and kisses his shoulder.
Mina: Babe, you’re practically Dad. Actually, Almira asked me earlier today if she can call you Papa Nate. I told her what I’m going to tell you. If it’s how you feel in your heart, then that is what you are. She’s NEVER let anyone be with her in bed besides Mom and I. Not that she’s had opportunity as I’ve always kept her sheltered. So her being able to trust you like this is huge. You don’t have to be nervous.
Nate: I guess the nerves are just part of me getting used to this whole thing… it still feels like it’s one big dream.
Nate and Mina decide to leave Almira’s room and they make their way downstairs.
Nate: So, how do you like the house? Yeah, it’s a bit of a man’s pad but… now that I have three ladies living with me now, I’m sure that will change soon.
Mina: I knew it was a man's pad when I first visited, remember? Truthfully, I wouldn't change a thing. You'll have pictures on your fridge by tomorrow morning guaranteed. Then it'll feel like home. It IS a big change, I'm putting on maybe a braver face than I let on, but as you've said, they deserve it. We deserve it. Our families grew so quick and yet seamlessly, I still have trouble with that. I guess the next big issue is potentially having to fight each other soon. Sure you can keep me on my back, Wolfman?
Mina smirks and winks at him as they sit on the couch, before Mina straddles his lap and faces him.
Mina: Thank you again for dealing with Dave. And I am going to get that form sent to him. I don't want him anywhere near Almira, ever. He was the sperm donor, tonight you became her father.
Nate: I… well… I hope I can live up to the role of being her father. That scumbag never deserved to be her father, and that’s all that’s left to be said about him.
He then chuckles a little, remembering what Mina said prior to that.
Nate: As for keeping you on your back? I do have some tricks up my sleeve… I just don’t think they will be allowed to be broadcasted on television.
Mina mock-slaps his arm.
Mina: Two could play just as dirty, you know. In all seriousness, I love the house. I love how safe Almira feels here, how I feel here and below me, and above all of that, I love you. And I don’t care where you’ve been, or how you got here, just that you ARE here because I never, ever, EVER, want to be anywhere else with anyone else. I don’t know what your feelings on soul mates are, astrology and all of that, but first minute I saw you, I knew right away you were exactly what I needed in life.
Nate: Truthfully, I don’t know what I believe in when it comes to things like that. But I know that I believe in this… I believe in us. And that’s all that matters to me.
The couple then share a passionate kiss with one another as the scene fades.
Nate: I’ll get it. Probably the removal guys…
Nate grabs the door handle and opens it up to find a gaunt man standing there. Tats up both arms creeping up his neck and more piercings than one could count. Dressed in a black hoodie with a cutoff plaid shirt overtop of it, he’s startled at the sight of Nathaniel standing there.
