Date: 11-7-2011
Scene: Kyle and Sarah's bedroom
Situation: Sarah is 46 and nine months pregnant with Chance. The doctor has ordered for her to stay on bed rest.
Action: Sarah is reading a book when Kitty (one ongoing two) enters the room
Kitty (runs into Sarah's arms): Mommy?!
Sarah (stroking Kitty's hair): How may I help you, princess?
Kitty: I want to see my little brother
Sarah (places a hand on her stomach): Chance is due any day from now. You will see him very soon.
Kitty (talks to the baby inside Sarah's stomach): I love you
Sarah (delighted): I bet Chance loves you too
Kitty: Really?!
Sarah (laughing): Yes
Kitty (runs out the room): I am going to draw a picture for Chance
(Carrying a present, Kyle enters the room and sits down at Sarah's bedside)
Kyle (offers the gift to Sarah): This gift is for you
Sarah (excited, she tears off gift wrapping): Thanks. I wonder what you brought for me?
Kyle (placing a diamond ring on Sarah's finger): I brought you a ring
Sarah (admiring her diamond ring): I love the ring
Kyle: The ring is suppose to be a push gift
Sarah (taken a back): A push gift?
Kyle: A push gift, this is an item given to expectant mothers.
Sarah (laughing): I understand
Kyle (studying Sarah): You can give birth any day from now
Sarah: I remember Kitty didn't come on her original due date. She was born on December 20. Her birth took a real toll on my body. Hopefully, Chance will come on his due date. November eleventh will change our lives forever. All that I want to have is a safe, smooth and easy birth experience. If any complications arise during the birth, you must save the baby's life instead of mine.
Kyle: What do you fear the most, giving birth or raising a child with special needs?
Sarah (choked up): I fear I won't be strong or good enough
Kyle (holding Sarah's hand): You are a warrior, a survivor of many things. You are a wonderful mother. I love you just the way you are.
Sarah (crying): I remember Winston raped me nine months ago. I am now pregnant with his baby. Chance has Down Syndrome. After all this time, you still love me. I thank you for giving me a second chance. What did I do to deserve your trust and love?
Kyle: I will never move on from you. You are stuck with me forever. My heart belongs to you and noone else.
Sarah (feeling a sharp pain, she grabs hold of her stomach): Ouch...
Kyle (concerned): What is the matter?
Sarah (places Kyle's hand on her stomach): The baby just kicked. Can you feel him move?
Kyle (amazed): Wow, Chance is very energetic
Sarah (talking to the baby): I can't wait to see you, my little prince

Scene: Sarah's nightmare
Situation: Sarah has a nightmare about her archenemy, Winston. Winston is also Chance's father.
Scene 1: The Connors' house-Sarah and Kyle's bedroom
(Sarah awakes to find her hands tied up to the bedpost in ropes. Winston walks into the room catching Sarah off guard)
Sarah: I thought that I killed you a long time ago. How can you still be alive? How did you get into my house? Where is my family?
Winston(approaching Sarah): I sent your family away, they are out of town on a vacation.
Sarah: They will kill you when they return home
Winston(sitting down at Sarah's bedside): I'll doubt it
Sarah: You will die if you touch me
Winston(taking a knife out of his coat pocket): My wife has always wanted a baby
Sarah(frightened): So what?
Winston(pulling up Sarah's dress to her knees): I want your baby
Sarah(hysterical): You are not going to have my baby
Winston(digging the knife into Sarah's stomach): You have no choice, you are mine now
Sarah(giving into her pain, she starts screaming): AH..AH..AH..AH
Winston(making another incision from Sarah's stomach to her lady parts): Please shut up and be cool
Sarah(starting to bleed crimson all over the bed sheets and covers): I am bleeding and possibly dying, its all your fault
Winston(becoming dying, he puts the knife back into his coat pocket): Thats enough drama for one day
(To make sure Sarah doesn't escape, Winston lays down at the door blocking the entrance way. Sarah breaks loose the ropes around her hands and then silently tiptoes over Winston's sleeping body. A trail of tears and blood follows behind her downstairs and into the outside world)
Scene 2: Kacey's house
Sarah(crying, she bangs on the door): Kacey, please open the door
Kacey(opening the door): Hello, Sarah
Sarah(stumbling through the doorway): I am in trouble and I need your help
Kacey(helping Sarah onto a couch in the den): You need to take it easy in your condition
Sarah(laying down on the couch): definitely
Kacey(taking notice of Sarah's bloodstained dress): OH MY GOD, Sarah, you have blood all over your dress
Sarah(in the mist of having a contraction): Its complicated, Winston is the name of the man who did this to me.
Kacey(crying): Don't worry, Sarah, I will protect you
Sarah(becoming unconscious): Please save my baby
(Unaware of what to do next, Kacey calls 911 for an ambulance to take Sarah to the hospital)
Scene 3: The hospital waiting room
Kyle: I thank you so much for calling me
Kacey: No problem, you needed to know what was going on since you are the baby's father.
Kyle(anxious, he begins pacing back and forth): I will be lost without Sarah
Derek: Sarah is strong enough to make it through anything
Kacey: I wonder who can do such a horrible thing to Sarah
John: Winston, he is certainly on the list
Cameron: I thank you for explaining
Doctor(approaching everyone): Hello, folks
Kyle(fearful): How was the surgery?
Doctor: We had to perform an emergency cesarean section on Sarah. The baby had trouble breathing so oxygen had to be put into his lungs. Sarah is resting in a recovery room at the moment.
Scene 4: Sarah's hospital room
Kyle(talking to Sarah's spirit): You have given birth to a very beautiful son. I love you so much for giving me the gift of life. It would be a miracle if you would wake up.
(Sleeping, Sarah remains unresponsive. Meanwhile, a maternity nurse walks into the room carrying baby Chance in her arms. Chance is wrapped up in blue blankets)
Nurse(placing Chance in Kyle's arms): I do believe this beautiful baby boy belongs to you
Kyle(holding Chance): He does belong to me, well thanks
Nurse(smiling as she leaves the room): God bless you
Kyle(speaking to Chance): Sweetheart, you are surely a very big boy
(Chance just cooes making Kyle laugh and cry tears of joy)
Sarah(waking up from her coma): Reese...
Kyle(giving Kitty to Sarah to hold): This is our son
Sarah(crying as she holds Chance): Hello baby, I love you so much. You are my little precious angel.
(The dream ends and Sarah wakes up to find her dress soaking wet. She realizes her water just broke)
Date: 11-11-2011
Sarah's p.o.v
The sound of popping champagne bottles awake me. OH, how do I miss drinking champagne. I look down and realize my gown is soaking wet. I had mistaken the
sound of popping champagne bottles for my water breaking. A "bloody show" soon follow afterwards. The bloody show refers to the release of a blood-tinged mucous
plug from my cervix. The blood is caused by tiny blood vessels rupturing as my cervix begins to thin and dilate. Painful, contractions make it hard for me to move. My
loud intense sobs interrupt Kyle's peaceful sleep. He acknowledges that Chance is on his way. We grab our suitcases and and immediately head for the hospital.
Date: 11-11-2011
Situation: Chance is born
Scene: The delivery room-Sarah is giving birth
Situation: Sarah is in labor with Chance
Sarah (having a contraction): AHA...AHA..AHA
Kyle (massaging Sarah's shoulders): Just breathe
Sarah (crying out in pain): Everything just hurts. Whenever will my pain end?
Kyle (talking to the baby within Sarah's stomach): Please calm down in there
Sarah (grabbing hold of Kyle): Here comes another contraction
Kyle (stroking Sarah's hair): I wish I could take your pain away
Sarah (screaming): AHA...AHA...AHA
Kyle: You have been in labor for twelve hours. The birth should be happening very shortly.
Sarah (sobbing): I thank you so much for being my laboring coach. I thank you for helping me through the pregnancy.
Kyle (with a smirk): no problem
Sarah (crying, she screams from contractions): AHA..AHA..AHA
Kyle (squeezing Sarah's hand): Please don't lose hope for your agony will be over soon
Sarah (exhausted, she starts to lose all of her strength): Please never let me go, love
Doctor (to Sarah): Just more push and the baby will be out of you
(Sarah pushes one more last time and a baby's cry fills the room. Joyful, Kyle and Sarah are so in love with Chance that they forget he has Down's Syndrome. Sarah learns to forget about both Winston and her rape)
Doctor (waiting for the placenta): The afterbirth should occur any second from now
Kyle (confused): I thought Sarah was done with giving birth
Doctor: Sarah needs to deliver the placenta
Sarah: Should I push the placenta out?
Doctor: No, the placenta should just fly out
Sarah (In pain, she moans): I am placenta is stuck somewhere deep inside my vagina.
Doctor (massaging Sarah's uterus): I am going to get your uterus back to its normal size. I will pull the placenta out of you.
Nurse (kicking Kyle out of the delivery room): Please wait outside or go home, mister
Date: 11-15-2011
Situation:Sarah is being discharged from the hospital
Sarah (passing by the nursery in a wheel chair): OH, look at all of the pretty babies. I don't see my baby anywhere, where is my son?
Kyle (pushing Sarah's wheel chair toward the exit door): Here he comes
Nurse (placing Chance into Sarah's arms): He is surely a miracle
Sarah (smiling): I know
Nurse (walking away from Sarah and Kyle): God bless you
Kyle (helping Sarah into truck): Our family is now complete. We are going to have a party when we get back home.

Kyle (escorting Sarah through the front door): Please don't be afraid, I will protect you
Sarah (wearing a blindfold, she walks down the hallway carrying chance): I can't see anything
(All of a sudden Kyle turns on the light switches and Everyone shouts out surprise)
Sarah (shocked and confused): What the hell?
Kyle: Sarah, we are at your homecoming party
Sarah (yelling at Kyle): I thought that I told you I didn't like surprises
Kyle (laughing): I am sorry
John: Mom, what took you so long at the hospital?
Sarah (holding Chance dear to her heart): The doctor wasn't sure if we were going to make it
Kitty (to Chance): Hello, Little brother
Derek (hungry, he is agitated): I am hungry so let us eat right now
John (rubbing his stomach): Derek, I know how you feel
