Scene 1: The Connor Reese House-the bathroom
Situation: Kyle catches a pregnant Sarah vomiting in the toilet. She has been dealing with severe morning sickness.
Kyle (agitated, he yells): OH NOT AGAIN
Sarah (coughing): What?!
Kyle: That demon is making you sick again. You need to get rid of it.
Sarah (touching her stomach): Are you talking about the baby?
Kyle (helps Sarah back to her feet): Yes
(Speechless, an emotional Sarah exits the bathroom)
Scene: The Kitchen
(Well refreshed, Sarah is busy with cooking pancakes when Kyle appears on the scene)
Sarah: I visit the doctor today
Kyle (uninterested): So What?
Sarah: Its time for my annual ultrasound test
Kyle: I am not going to the hospital with you. I predict the doctor is going to tell you to have an abortion. I remember I have been trying to tell you the same thing.
Sarah (choked up): I am pregnant with your baby. How could you hate your own flesh and blood?
Kyle (choked up): You have cancer and you are pregnant, thats a terrible combination. I want you to be around for a very long time. I think you should terminate the pregnancy.
Sarah (offers Kyle a plate of pancakes): Here is your breakfast. I hope you will enjoy the pancakes.
(Hungry, Kyle sits down at the dinner table and begins eating. He forgets to tell Sarah thank you or I love you.)
Place: The hospital-Doctor's office
Situation: The Ultrasound test
Doctor (preparing to examine Sarah): Where is the baby's father?
Sarah (feeling let down): He's not coming
Kyle (walking into the room): Here I am
Sarah (surprised and confused): Kyle...
Kyle (squeezing Sarah's hand): You are carrying a little life inside of you. This is the time when you need me the most.
Sarah (crying tears of joy): I love you
Kyle (smiling): I love you too
Doctor (shows Sarah and Kyle an sonogram of the baby): This is your baby
Kyle: Wow
Sarah (panicky): Is there anything that I need to be concerned about?
Doctor: No. The baby is in good perfect health.
Sarah (relieved): Thats good
Scene: Outside the doctor's office
Kyle (feeling broken): I am torn
Sarah (scratching her head): Why are you so indecisive?
Kyle: I am happy that the baby is healthy. The baby deserves to live after all. ON the other hand, you are slowly dying.
Sarah (holding a mob of hair strands): I am growing bald
Kyle (frightened): OH MY GOD
Sarah: I am going to cut off my hair when we get home
Place: The Connor Reese House
(Sarah uses a razor to cut off her hair. Bundles of dark brown curls fall into the sink. Kyle can't hear Sarah crying from within the bathroom. Anxious, he waits to see
her in the bedroom. Feeling comfortable living in her skin, Sarah embraces the outside world. Kyle considers Sarah to be beautiful even without hair or make up)
