Place: Lyrica's home office
Situation: An ultrasound test
Cami (having contractions): My back hurts. I think I am in labor.
Lyrica (checking Camille's cervix): You are fully dilated. I can feel Nicholas' head. He is just too eager to come out.
Klaus: It is too early for the birth. Is it safe for Cami to deliver the twins naturally?
Lyrica (checking the babies' heartbeats): Your daughter appears to be well. Your son's heartbeat is in distress.
Cami (concerned): Why?
Lyrica: Your son's organs are growing on the outside
Klaus (choked up): Nicholas is going to die
Lyrica: We must accept that reality
Cami (sobbing in Klaus' arms): My heart can't take this
Lyrica (preparing Cami for Surgery): Nicholas needs to be delivered asap. I will perform a Cesarean Section.
The Same Day-The Emergency Room-The Cesarean section
Cami (emotional, she is under a lot of pressure): Ouch..
Klaus (comforting Cami): Everything will be ok
Cami (feeling discomfort): Ouch..
Lyrica (pulling the baby out of Cami): Cami, I apologize for your discomfort. I am trying to get the baby out.
(Silently, Nicholas enters the world. Ingrid remains inside Cami's womb. Lyrica work hard to revive Nicholas)
Cami (still holding onto hope): Has my baby been born yet? If so, why isn't he crying?
Lyrica (closing Addison's womb): Nicholas is dead. I am sorry for your loss.
Cami (crying uncontrollably): I miss my son
Klaus (consoling Cami): We still have Ingrid
Cami (having contractions again): Ingrid wants to see the outside world
Lyrica (running to get her assistant): Don't push yet. I am going to get my assistant.
Cami (screaming, she clings onto Klaus): AHA...AHA...AHA..AHA
Klaus (stroking Cami's hair): Who knew we would befall this?
Lyrica (returning with her assistant named Dawn): This my assistant Dawn
Dawn (to Klaus and Cami): Hello
Klaus (still holding onto Cami): Nice to meet you
Cami (hyperventilating): Ingrid will not wait. I need a warm and safe place to give birth asap.
Klaus (carrying Cami in his arms): Is there a bedroom somewhere in the house?
Lyrica (escorts Klaus and Cami to a nearby bedroom): The bedroom is right here
Dawn (helping Cami onto the bed): You can rest here, sweetheart
Cami (determined): I don't need any help. Ingrid will slip right out. I will deliver her. Please stand back. Let my body release the baby. Y'all can wait outside in the hallway.
Dawn (checking the baby's heartbeat): I don't know about that
Cami (preparing to give birth): If I could survive the pregnancy then I can survive the birth
Klaus: Cami, you are so brave and strong
Cami: I am super woman
Lyrica: Cami, you are my friend and yet you are still my patient. You are not going to deliver Ingrid on your own.
Cami: I surrender. You win.
Action: Tirelessly, Cami labors on. Cami's labor has been long and difficult so far. She rocks back and forth on a ball in the present time. Klaus holds her very tightly. This exercise has been one of many attempts, different positions to make the baby move further down the birth canal.
Cami (cries into Klaus's arms): This hurts
Klaus (stroking Cami's hair): Your pain is temporary
Cami (feeling sensation down below): I have to push
Lyrica's Assistant Dawn (taking away the ball): We won't need this thing anymore
Klaus (helps Cami back onto the bed): Here we go again
Cami (pushing): So it begins
Lyrica (counting): 1...2...3
Cami (screaming and pushing hard with every contraction): AHA...AHA...AHA
Lyrica: It seems as if the baby doesn't want to come out
Cami (exhausted): Please get it out
Dawn: Stay strong, sweetheart
Cami: I don't know how long I can carry on this way
Lyrica: Camille, don't push too hard
Camille: Why not?
Lyrica: The baby's shoulders are stuck
Klaus (overcome with emotion, he thinks about what could possibly go wrong during the birth): OH MY GOD
Camille (panicky): Will my daughter be alright?
Lyrica (trying to pull the baby out of Camille): Your daughter will be alright, trust me
Camille (overcome with pain and pressure, she screams as she begins to cry): AHA..AHA..AHA
Dawn (using towel to clean up Camille's bloodshed): Camille is losing a lot of blood. She could possibly be tearing.
Klaus (overcome with emotion): OH MY GOD
Lyrica (still trying to pull the baby out): Thats not good, this baby needs to be delivered as soon as possible
Camille (hyperventilating): I can't breathe
Lyrica: All you have do is push one more time and the baby will be out of you
(With one final push, Camille brings a lifeless baby girl into the world. Uncontrollably, Camille and Klaus grieve over their stillborn baby whose name is Ingrid Seraphina Mikaelson)
Place: An Infirmity
Event: The Twin's birth
Themes: Loss and Recovery
Camille (crying as she holds her stillborn twins): They are as pretty as a porcelain doll. They had so much potential.
Klaus (choked up): Who knew we would befall this?
Camille (sobbing): I don't know if I will ever recover
(Sorrowfully, she hands the twins over to Lyrica and Dawn. Lyrica and Dawn "get rid of them")
Klaus (erasing Camille's memory): You will not remember today. You will start over fresh tomorrow.
Camille (hypnotized): I understand
