The story of Charlotte Temple in the modern day would have gone like so after Montraville found out Charlotte was pregnant with his child.
Today on Maury: Charlotte pregnant with Montraville’s child and he denies that it is his because he has been with another woman.
Maury: “Now Charlotte, tell us what happened between you and Montraville.”
Charlotte: “Well you see Maury that jerk got me pregnant and then left me for that tramp, then when I told him it was his he denied it because he doesn’t want to be paying child support and wants me to be living on the streets alone forever.”
Montraville: “Naw man that ain’t true. I have never done anything with that girl she just wants my money to pay for her baby that she claims is mine.”
Maury: “How do you feel about that Charlotte?”
Charlotte: “It’s all a lie and he knows it. I have never lied and I surely wouldn’t be lying about this.”
Montraville: “I’m telling you that ain’t true!”
Maury: “Well we will find out now. We have taken a DNA test and Montraville…..You are the father of Lucy.”
Charlotte: “I told you! I told you! I ain’t lying!”
Montraville: “Naw man that ain’t right, no way.”
Maury: “Now what’s going to happen between you two? Montraville will you come back to Charlotte because Lucy is yours or what will happen?”
Charlotte: “He better be helping me out in some way! Although that slut does take up all of his time now!”
Maury: “Montraville?”
Montraville: “Man I’m speechless right now! I guess I can help out with some money, but no way am I coming back to you, I got a new girl now.”
Charlotte: “Good you better be helping me out this your kid anyways!!”
Maury: “Well folks, looks like we have another father found and seems to be willing to help. If you would like to be on the Maury Show call us now at 1-866-99-Maury or 1-866-996-2879 .”

Wow, this was really creative! I like how you had Charlotte be more out spoken and demanding of Montraville. It makes the story more realistic and 21st century. I absolutely believe that Montraville would pay for the child support out of a guilty conscious. The only thing is I do not think that Montraville would have ended up on a TV show. No matter what he would not have wanted Lucy to know anything about Charlotte. Lastly, I think Charlotte is just to lucky in the end. Something should happen to cause her ultimate down fall (not that I am not happy that everything turns out ok for her). Other then that I think this was a really unique and well done story!
