Place: The Hawkins' house

Action: Quietly, Nic returns home from Walgreens where she brought a pregnancy test

Conrad (making a sandwich in the kitchen): You brought a pregnancy test?!

Nic (anxious): I am late

Conrad: You're late?

Nic: I might be pregnant

Conrad: When are you going to take the test?

Nic (going into the downstairs guest bathroom): Right now

Conrad: I will be here when you're done

Devastating Heartbreaking moment: Anxiously and patiently, Conrad and Nic wait for the test results. The test results turn out to be negative. They cherish Alexandria and take care of her until otherwise.


Place: The hospital

Situation: A False Alarm

Scene: A room

Action: Nervous, Nic waits for her test results. Conrad is with her.

Nic (rubbing her stomach): I have been experiencing symptoms of pregnancy. What if it is a false alarm?

Conrad (holding Nic's hand): Your test results will be positive

Nic (nervous): I do hope so too

A Nurse (walks into the room bearing Nic's test results): I have your blood test results for you

Nic (hopeful): I am pregnant?!

A Nurse (reading Nic's test results): No, you are not pregnant. It was just a false alarm.

Conrad (choked up, he squeezes Nic's hand): We will try again, honey

Nic (devastated): If I am not pregnant then whats wrong with me?

The Nurse: Do you have any stress in your life?

Nic: I blame all the stress on my infertility problems. My husband and I have been trying to get pregnant.

The Nurse: It is possible for stress to decrease your chances of getting pregnant. You need to take time out to rest and relax.

Nic: Relaxing, its not quite that easy

The Nurse (leaving the room): Don't worry, you will get pregnant soon

(Solemn, Nic and Conrad return home where they find comfort in each other's arms)
