Scene 14: Hospital. Cassie is lying in bed, hooked up to all sorts of medical equipment. Troy is by her side. Thelma comes in.

Thelma: Oiy, why didn't you wait for me?

Cassie: Troy um, could you go get me some ice chips or something. I'm really parched.

Troy: Sure I'll be right back. (He leaves)

Cassie: I couldn't wait for you.

Thelma: I'd just gone for a bite to eat. I came back, your door was open and you were no where to be seen. What happened to your lamp anyway, it was shattered all over the bed and floor. Don't tell me that. . .

Cassie: Thelma! Listen to me, Ella attacked me tonight. I was reading in bed, waiting for you to come back for a chat and I heard someone at the door. Before I knew what was happening, she was in the room with a knife. I managed to knock her out with the lamp, and as I was running away, I bumped into Troy. Then promptly went into labour. What was I supposed to do, tell Troy, "Oh, can you hold on for a sec, I need to go back to my room, don't mind the assassin unconscious on my bed, I have to leave a note for my ghostly best mate to tell her I'm off to hospital?"

Thelma: Ok I get it. What are we going to do?

Cassie: I was planning on giving birth. I don't know what you're going to do.

Thelma: About Ella, what are we going to do about Ella? She's obviously not unconscious anymore because she was not on your bed when I got back.

Cassie: Oh God. . . I dunno. You don't think that she would try to kill me in a hospital?

Thelma: I doubt it. Not with all of the resuscitative equipment about. It'd be pointless really.

Cassie: Is everything a joke to you?

Thelma: Not everything. . . I don't find Jerry Seinfeld funny at all. (Cassie shakes her head) I'm going to have a look around the hospital. Make sure she's not lurking about. Will you be alright?

Cassie: Yes, I'll be fine. Troy will be back any minute.

Thelma: He's really taking good care of you isn't he?

Cassie: Yeah he is. Go; make sure we haven't got a supernatural hit woman around.

Thelma: OK (Thelma leaves)

(Cassie rolls over, away from the door. A few moments later you see a hand touch her shoulder.)

Cassie: (As she rolls back over) Troy, that was quick. . . (It's Azazeal standing over her) What the hell are you doing here?

Azazeal: Did you really think I'd miss the birth of our child? I've been waiting for this moment for 500 years.

Cassie: I don't want you here.

Azazeal: I don't know why you hate me so much.

Cassie: Take a minute to think about it.

Azazeal: Cassie, we're going to make such a wonderful family, you, me and our son.

Cassie: How can I get it through your head? I don't want you. We don't want you. You need to leave us alone. I have someone who really loves me and my baby.

Azazeal: You can't possibly love him. After what we had together.

Cassie: Is that before or after you possessed me? I was out of my head when I was with you. You need to leave now.

Azazeal: Very well. I'll be back . . . Soon. (He kisses Cassie's hand and then leaves, passing Troy on the way out)

Troy: Who was that?

Cassie: That was Azazeal. I had hoped he wouldn't find out that I was here.

Troy: How did he? Who told him you're here?

Cassie: I don't know. It doesn't matter really. I just hope he stays away. I don't want him anywhere near my baby.

Troy: Don't worry about it. I won't let him touch this little one. (He sits on the bed beside her and puts a hand protectively on her belly).

Cassie: Thank you.

(The doctor comes in)

Dr. Surtees: OK, let's check you out, see how you're doing.

Troy: I'll be right outside

Cassie: OK

(Troy leaves and the doctor starts his examination)

Dr. Surtees: Hmmm. . . .

Cassie: Is something the matter?

Dr. Surtees: (To a nurse) please bring in a sonogram machine.

Cassie: What's wrong? Please tell me! Is there something wrong with my baby?

Dr. Surtees: (The nurse comes back in with the machine and the doctor starts the scan) Ms. Hughes, it seems your baby is breech. We will have to do a cesarean section to ensure a safe delivery.

Cassie: Oh God, I won't be unconscious will I?

Dr. Surtees: No, an anesthesiologist will be in shortly to give you an epidural. There's nothing to worry about. This really is a very routine operation.

Cassie: Thank you Dr. Surtees. (Troy comes back in)

Troy: What's up?

Cassie: The baby is breech. I have to go into surgery.

Dr. Surtees: Will anyone be coming into the operating room with you?

Cassie: I dunno. Troy, will you come in with me? I don't want to go in alone.

Troy: Absolutely.

Dr. Surtees: Right, well Troy, come with me and a nurse get you suited up.

Troy: I'll see you in there. (He and the Dr. leave and Thelma sneaks in)

Cassie: Thelma, I'm scared.

Thelma: Don't worry, you'll be fine. Troy will be there, holding your hand.

Cassie: Will you be in there too?

Thelma: I wouldn't miss it.

Cassie: Good.
