Time of Period: A Flashback

Scene: Birthing Class

Situation: Sarah (pregnant with Kitty) is on edge because her due date (December 14th) is approaching

The Instructor: Men, I want you to massage your partners' shoulders

(All the men begin massaging their partners' shoulders)

Kyle (massaging Sarah's shoulders): Your shoulders are stiff. You should relax.

Sarah (whispering): You should try being pregnant in your forties. You will realize so many things can go wrong.

Kyle (still massaging Sarah's shoulders): Men can't get pregnant. If I could, I would trade places with you. I understand you are on edge because your due date is approaching.

Sarah (anxious and nervous): You are correct

The instructor (to Sarah): Please don't worry about giving birth. You will do fine. Congratulations by the way.

Sarah (rubbing her big swollen stomach): Thanks

Kyle: The baby will not take you away from me

(The flashback ends)

Sarah (crying and screaming as she pushes): AHA...AHA...AHA

A Doctor and Nurse: Thats a good push, Sarah. Keep on pushing.

Sarah (quickly losing her strength): Whenever will it be over?

Kyle (real sensitive to Sarah's pain and sorrow): I never expected for childbirth could hurt this much

Sarah (struggling through contractions): I am forty-four and in the high-risk category afterall

A Nurse (shifting the fetal heartbeat monitor on Sarah's stomach): The fetal heartbeat sounds good. You will give birth to a healthy baby girl.

(True to the nurse's words, Sarah does give birth to a healthy and beautiful baby girl (Kitty) with minor complications. The flashback ends).

Sarah (choked up): Please look after Chance in my absence.

John: I understand you are on edge because your due date is approaching

Sarah: Chance has Down Sydrome, add this on top of everything else.

Story : Theme- When She did Her Best

Time Period: A Flashback

Place: The Pascenda Mental Hospital- Sarah's room

Situation: Sarah has a emotional breakdown after being forced to terminate her parental rights

Sarah (sobbing hard into her pillow): I am a bad mother. John is going to hate me. What have I done?

Kyle ((a ghost) rubs Sarah's back): You are not a bad mother. You did your best to raise him.

Sarah: They forced me to terminate my parental rights. They recorded me signing away my rights. Now I will never get our son back.

Kyle: Don't worry, Sarah. We will get him back soon.

Sarah (perking up): How so?

Kyle (hearing John coming): Maybe John is closer than you think

(John helps Sarah to escape from the mental hospital. Sarah completely forgets about signing away her parental rights. The rest is history. The flashback ends.)

Time Period: The Present Reality

Situation: It is the night before Kitty and Chance are taken away by child protective services

Scene: The Den

Action: John is watching the tape that shows Sarah signing away her parental rights

Sarah: I thought I destroyed that tape. What is your fascination with the tape?

John: I wonder how we got to where we are today.

Sarah: I blame it all on the government, cps, and noisy neighbors

John (hugging Sarah): I love you. You are not a bad mother. You did the best you could to raise me. I forgive you for signing away your parental rights.

Sarah (choked up): I love you too

John (taking the tape out of the vcr): Tonight is your last night with the kids. You should spend time with them.

Sarah (fighting back tears): You are right

(Kyle and Sarah make sure that the kids are well prepared for their "vocation" one last time. Kitty and Chance can't understand why their parents and other family members aren't going with them. And then Sarah woke up.)
