A couple of days later. Dorian and Jack are in the living room. They are
watching a Wiggles tape and dancing and singing along. Viki comes to the
living room door and peers in. She watches Dorian and Jack and smiles.
The song ends and Viki claps.
Dorian (startled): Viki. What are you doing here?
Viki: The maid let me in. Hi, Jack.
Jack holds him arms up for Dorian to pick him up. She does and he buries his head in her chest.
Dorian (to Jack): Are you being shy today? Why don't you go in the kitchen and see if Starr will share some of the cookies she and your mom are making. (She puts Jack down and he heads for the kitchen.)
Viki (teasingly): I didn't know you liked The Wiggles.
Dorian: Captain Feathersword is one handsome man.
Viki (laughs): Is that all you think about?
Dorian (mock seriously): Yes. Did you go to the doctor yet?
Viki: Yes, that's why I'm here.
Dorian: I knew it was serious. What did he... (She stops suddenly and gets very pale. Viki grabs her and guides her to the couch.)
Viki: Are you okay? Maybe you should see a doctor yourself.
Dorian: I'm fine. I've just had a little stomach flu since we got back. Now, what did the doctor say?
Viki: My kidney is failing.
Dorian: Oh, my God.
Viki: I only have one since I donated the other one to Megan. The doctor said the treatment for my breast cancer damaged the one I have left and I'm going to need a transplant.
Dorian: Oh, no. Is anyone in your family a match?
Viki: No, they were all tested for Megan and they didn't match her so they won't match me.
Dorian: What about Jessica and Natalie? Jessica was too young then and Natalie wasn't here. And Todd too.
Viki: They are being tested. Hopefully one will match.
Dorian: I'll be tested too. And so will David.
Viki: Thank you. (changing the subject) How was your trip?
Dorian: It was great. I think next time we'll just go somewhere around here though. As few times as we left the hotel room, there's no need to spend that much money.
Viki: Okay, I didn't need to know that.
Dorian: You are married to a younger man. You know what kind of stamina they have.
Viki (smiling): That's true. Listen, I have to go. I have a meeting at the university. I just came by to thank you for insisting I see a doctor.
Dorian: You're welcome. Don't worry. Everything will be fine.
Viki (skeptically): Yeah, I'm sure you're right. I hope you feel better.
Dorian: Thanks, same to you.
Dorian (startled): Viki. What are you doing here?
Viki: The maid let me in. Hi, Jack.
