Situation: Mikaela's funeral

Minister (reading from the bible): Psalm 23: 1-4 says the lord is my shepherd, I shall not be in want. He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside quiet waters, he restores my soul. He guides me in paths of righteousness for his name sake. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil for you are with me. Your rod and your staff, they comfort me.

Lucas (crying): I miss my mother

Kyle(whispering to Derek): How are you holding up, brother?

Derek (choked up, he is in denial): Mike is dead, she is never coming back to me. Why should I feel anything for her?

Kyle: You are right, you are more better off forgetting about Mike

Derek (heartbroken, he starts crying out loud): I miss you, my beloved queen

Kyle (catching Luce before he falls out of Derek's arms and hits the ground): Derek, you need to be careful. how can you be so lazy?

Derek (hysterical): My heart is broken and I am in mourning, why can't you see that?

(Luce starts crying bringing Derek's mind back to reality. Mikaela's spirit watches from a far studying Kyle and Derek)

Flashback: Mike

Date: 7-24-10

Scene 1: Mike's jeep-The highway

Mike (singing along with the radio): I see your true colors and thats why I love you

(Two month old Luce is sleeping in her car seat in the back seat. Feeling lightheaded, Mike blacks out and the unthinkable happens, a car crash)

Scene: The Lobby-Hospital

(Ten Minutes later the doctor approaches Derek and Lucas bearing heartbreaking bad news)

Doctor: Hey, are you Mikaela's husband?

Derek (standing out of his chair): Yes

Doctor (reading Sarah's test results): Your girlfriend is alive, but remains in critical condition. The baby survived the car crash as well.

Derek (shocked, he is on the brink of fainting): Thank God

Luke: God is good

Doctor: You can see her if you want to

Scene 2: The hospital-Mike's hospital room

Mike (waking up from her coma): Reese..

Derek (sitting down at Mike's bedside): Here I am

Mike(taking Derek's hand in hers): How did I ended up here in the hospital?

Derek: You fell asleep at the wheel and a truck hit your jeep

Mike (becoming sad at the thought of Luce): Our daughter is dead

Derek(touching Mike's cheek): Luce is not dead

Mike (crying, she begs anyone): I want to see my baby, I want to see my baby.

Nurse(placing Luce into Mike's arms): Here she is

Mike (checking out Luce): You have a few bruises and thats good

Derek: The situation could've been a whole lot worse. You should be more careful with Luce, do you know what I mean?

Mike (referring to her brain tumor): When you have brain tumor, it kind of makes living hard to do.

Derek: When are you planning to tell Luke about your brain tumor?

Mike (choked up): I don't know

Lucas (angry, he walks into the room): You have a brain tumor, mom, what the hell?

Mike (crying): Luke, I was planning to tell you soon

Lucas(yelling): Mom, I hate being the last one to know stuff. It was very stupid of you to drive your jeep when you knew you had a brain tumor. You almost killed Luce and yourself today. How can you be so stupid, lazy and careless? Your driver license should be provoked until the tumor is gone.

Derek (angry,he yells at Luke): Young man, you don't talk to your mother that way

Lucas (yells): Mom knows I am right

Derek (yelling at Lucas): Young man, please be quiet or else

Mike (crying, she begs Derek and Lucas): Please stop fighting, I am not in the mood for drama

Lucas (walking out of the room): I have had enough of this crap

Derek (turning to Sarah): What is Luke's problem with you?

Mike: Lucas is afraid to lose me. He uses anger as a way to express his grief.

Derek (choked up): I am afraid to lose you as well

Mike (feeling guilty): You probably think I am a bad mother

Derek : You are not crazy, you are just misunderstood
