Theme: What if Sarah was pregnant and then gave birth during the corona virus pandemic?
Time Period: A Flashback-Nine Months Earlier
Date: 3-24-2020
Sarah (nauseous, she gets out of bed and runs to the bathroom): OH! NOT AGAIN!
Kyle (preparing to go to work, he listens to Sarah vomit inside the bathroom): Honey, I can stay home from work if you want me to.
Sarah (secretly taking a newly brought home pregnancy test): I am fine. You can go to work.
Kyle (leaving the room): Bye. I love you. I will see you later.
Sarah (waiting for the test results): Ok, bye. I love you too.
(Kyle leaves the house before Sarah can tell him that she is pregnant)
Scene: The Kitchen
Action: Sweaty and dirty, Derek comes in from running around the neighborhood. He grabs a beer out of the refrigerator. He sits down in a chair and drinks his beer. His unpleasant odor increases Sarah's nausea. Derek doesn't know that Sarah is pregnant.
Derek (observing Sarah): You look unwell
Sarah (trying to hold in her vomit as she cooks pancakes): You have an unpleasant odor. Please take a shower.
Derek: I need more time to rest
Sarah (begging Derek): Please
Derek (leaving the room): Ok. I will take a shower.
Sarah: Thanks
(As soon as Derek leaves, Sarah turns off the oven. She vomits in the downstairs guest bathroom. Regular bottled water and a peppermint cleanses her mouth. She doesn't know that John and Cameron heard her vomiting.)
John (rubbing Sarah's back): Cam and I heard you vomiting in the bathroom
Sarah: So what?
Cameron: Kacey vomited when she was pregnant. Are you pregnant?
John (to Cameron): What the hell, Cameron?
Cameron (checking Sarah's body temperature and blood pressure): Your body temperature and blood pressure are elevated. This is not normal.
Sarah (places a hand on her stomach): I took a pregnant test earlier. The test results were positive. I am indeed pregnant.
(John and Cameron are shocked but happy about the new baby. A cleaned Derek walks in on their sweet bonding moment. Eventually he gets a clue about what is going on. They float on cloud nine until a depressed Kyle comes home early because he has been laid off from his job. Sarah's pregnancy announcement brings him little joy. Hope for a better tomorrow enables the Connor Reese Family to navigate through the corona virus pandemic (aka their lives in quarantine)).
Time Period: Nine Months Later
Date: 11-24-2020
Event: Hope Reese's home birth
Sarah (heavily pregnant, she labors in the birthing pool): OH HE
Doctor Derek Reese (checking Sarah): You are fully dilated
Sarah (relieved): Finally
Kyle (providing extra body support for Sarah): I got you, sweetheart
Sarah (giving into her pain): AHA...AHA..AHA...AHA
Derek (witnessing the baby crown): The baby's head is emerging
Sarah (experiencing a burning ring of fire): It hurts and burns. I can't do this.
Kyle (to Sarah): You are a very strong woman. You can do this.
Sarah (crying and screaming): AHA..AHA..AHA
John (witnessing his mom give birth): OH MY GOD!
Cameron: Hope shall be her name
John: How do you know the baby is a girl?
Cameron: I met her in the future
(Sarah is exhausted but happy when she sees and holds her daughter Hope for the first time. Hope was worth the pain, sacrifice, and anything else that the Connor Reese Family experienced during the corona virus pandemic.)
