Time Period: A Flashback
Date: 1-28-2011
Place: A Doctor's office
Situation: A Conference
Doctor (reading over paperwork): The baby has down syndrome
Peyton (rubbing her stomach): Correct
Doctor: You will have to take many precautions. She will never be normal.
Peyton (fighting back tears): I know the risks
Doctor: She will never be successful
Peyton (crying): How dare you say that about my baby
Doctor: You are better off sending her away
Lucas (offended, he yells at the doctor): You know nothing
Doctor: I am preparing you for what is to come
Lucas (escorting Peyton out of the doctor's office): Come on, Peyton. Lets go home.
Scene: The Hallway-Outside the doctor's office
Peyton (sobbing): She will never be normal. What if the doctor is right?
Lucas (holding Peyton): Kids with special needs are successful
Peyton (rubbing her stomach): I will wait and see
Lucas (kissing Peyton): I love you and Lucky
(Afterwards, Lucas and Peyton visit a local special needs school where anything is possible)
Time Period: The Present
Date: 2-16-2011
Scene: The Hospital-Peyton's recovery room
Action: Resting in bed, Peyton is drawing pictures when a nurse walks into the room. The nurse has medication for her.
The nurse: Aren't you that woman with the down syndrome baby?
Peyton (smiling): Yes
The nurse: She will never be normal
Peyton (shocked): Excuse me..
The nurse: She will never be pretty, good, or smart enough. She will never be successful.
Peyton (yelling): Get out of my room
The nurse: I need to give your medication
Peyton (still yelling): I don't want my medication. Please leave me alone.
The nurse (becoming angry): I will give it to you regardless
Peyton: I want another nurse
(The situation becomes so bad that Peyton's blood pressure goes sky high. A visit from Lucas helps Peyton to stay calm. Eventually, she takes her medication and gets a new nurse. )
