Time Period: A Flashback

Situation: Jo's labor and delivery with Mason

Phrase 1: The Labor

Action: Laurie lays in the bed with Jo who is in active labor. They are waiting for Dr. Hobbs' arrival.

Jo (experiencing painful contractions): OOH... AHH

Laurie (holding Jo very tightly): Slow deep easy breaths, Jo

Jo (shivering in Laurie's arms): Is it cold in our bedroom or is it the pressure that I am feeling down below?

Laurie (rubbing Jo's stomach): Maybe it is both

Jo (having a strong urge to push): I am in a lot of pain. I have to push so badly. What is taking Dr. Hobbs so long?

Laurie: Dr. Hobbs might be with another patient. Dr. Hobbs is on his way to our house. Please don't push quite yet. You must keep the baby inside you.

Jo (listening to her body instead of Laurie): Laurie, its time. I can't wait any longer. The baby is coming.

Laurie (hearing someone knocking on the front door and then rushing to answer the door): Thank God! Dr. Hobbs is now here. I'll be back.

Jo (trying to hold in the baby): Please hurry up, Laurie
