Theme- Her Other Little Prince and Stronghold
Time Period: A Flashback-Two months before Chance's birth
Scene: The Connor Reese House- The backyard
(Sarah (seven months pregnant) and John look on in wonder as Kyle and Kitty play catch)
John (sitting at the table with Sarah): He is so good with her. She makes him want to be a better person.
Sarah (choked up): They melt my heart
John: I wonder how Dad will treat the new baby
Sarah (rubbing her stomach): The baby is a boy. I am planning to name him Chance Joseph Reese. Chance has Down Syndrome. We should give him a chance like his name implies.
John: You are going to give birth to a very special baby. I will give him a chance. I am not ready to share you with Chance.
Sarah: I love you because you are my firstborn. I will love you and Chance equally.
John: I prefer to wait and see
(The Flashback ends)
Time Period: A Flashback
Date: 11-11-2011 (post Chance's birth)
Scene: Sarah's recovery room
Sarah (placing a newborn chance in John's arms): This is your little brother Chance
John (holding Chance): I see you instead of Winston in Chance
Sarah: Well thanks
John: I apologize for leaving you hanging. How was the birth?
Sarah: In your absence, your dad helped me through the easy and quick birthing process. I struggled to deliver the after birth. Chance and I almost never made it.
John: Who do you love more now, Chance or me?
Sarah: I don't have a favorite
(John leaves so that the rest of the family may spend time with Sarah and Chance. The Flashback ends.)
Time Period: The Present Reality
Time of Day: Nighttime
Place: The Connor Reese House
John (catches a nine year old Chance leaving his room): Why are you not in your bed?
Chance (holding his teddy bear): I can't sleep because of a nightmare
John: I understand, buddy
Chance (entering into his parents' room): Mommy, I can't sleep
Sarah (tending to Chance): I will read you a bedtime story, my little prince
(Hand in hand, Sarah accompanies Chance back to his room. John is torn between jealously and acceptance (tolerance)).
