Theme- A New Different Normal: The Quarantine Life
Theme 2020 Saint Patrick's day and The Corona Virus part
Scene: Sarah and Kyle's bedroom
Kyle (forcing himself deeper inside Sarah's lady parts): I love you so much
Sarah (grabbing a hold of Kyle's "little friend" underneath the sheets): Please don't stop, my love
Kyle (playfully fondling and pinching Sarah): Humm..
Sarah: Why are you pinching me?
Kyle: Today is Saint Patrick's day. You are not wearing green.
Sarah (pinching Kyle back): You are not wearing green
Kyle (getting out of bed to put on clothes): I must check on my sick brother. He has the corona virus. He has been residing in the basement.
Sarah (getting out of bed to put on clothes): Kitty and Chance are out of school because of the corona virus. I will have to home school them today.
(Kyle and Sarah wash their hands before leaving the bedroom.)
Scene: The Basement
Situation: Kyle is spending time with Derek who has the Corona virus
Kyle (entering the basement with his guitar): Hello my dear sick brother
Derek (laying down on the couch): Please don't come near me. Please don't touch me. I have the Corona Virus. The CDC has instructed for us to practice social distancing.
Kyle (approaching Derek): What is social distancing?
Derek: We should keep distance between us. I am sick and its all your fault. You transferred your sickness onto me.
Kyle: I apologize for getting you sick. I should've used precaution especially after banging Sarah. We have started to wash our hands after making love.
Derek (disgusted): Even from afar, you smell like her. You are wearing her perfume. You must've banged her.
Kyle (laughing): Yes
Derek: You are very crazy and nasty
Kyle: I don't understand how I am crazy and nasty for sleeping with my wife.
Derek: You and Sarah are beyond my jurisdiction
Kyle: Today is Saint Patrick's Day and you are wearing green pajamas. I can't pinch you.
Derek (pinching Kyle): I can pinch you because you are not wearing green.
Kyle: Whatever happened to social distancing?
Derek: I changed my mind. It is your turn to be sick.
(Suddenly Kyle starts playing a song (one that he wrote) on his guitar. Derek feels better physically and mentally briefly.)

Scene 1: Kyle and Sarah's bedroom
Action: Kyle and Sarah are passionately making love in the bed when Sarah's cellphone rings. It is not normal for her cellphone to ring.
Sarah (on her phone): Hello, this is Sarah. Who is this?
Kacey (in a weak frail voice): Its me, Kacey.
Sarah (delighted): Hello Kacey
Kacey: I am pregnant. I have the corona virus. I am in the hospital because I am dying and about to deliver my baby. I want to see your face. Can we talk on face chat?
Sarah (on face chat): Hello again, Kacey. You are so beautiful.
Kacey: Well thanks, Sarah. It is so good to see your face and to hear your voice. You are beautiful and amazing from the inside out. Trevor has been laid off his job due to the corona virus. Please look after him and our children in my absence. I love you like a sister.
Sarah (choked up): Kacey, I love you too. You have been my one and only true best friend. Please don't die.
Kacey (hanging up the phone): I have to go. Goodbye and Godspeed.
Sarah (crying and yelling into the phone): KACEY!
(Sarah hangs up the phone quite shaken, broken, and depressed)
Kyle (putting his arm around Sarah): Kacey is in good hands
Sarah (sniffling): I do hope so
Kyle (kissing and hugging Sarah): I love you
Sarah: Aren't we supposed to be practicing social distancing?
Kyle: Oh I forgot about that
Sarah: I love you anyway
(Sarah and Kyle wash their hands. They get dressed and then head downstairs to eat breakfast.)
Scene 2: The dining room-breakfast
Kyle: Your pancakes are delicious
Kitty: I agree too
Sarah: Well thanks
Chance (reaching out to touch Sarah): Mommy, please hug me.
Sarah: I know how much you love my hugs, but I can't hug you.
Chance (pouting): Why not?
Cameron: Your mom doesn't want to infect you with the corona virus
Chance (frightened): The corona virus?!
Sarah (yelling at Cameron): CAMERON!
Cameron: I am sorry, Sarah
Sarah: I don't forgive you
Cameron: But I am sorry
Sarah: Your apology doesn't change anything
Kitty (to Cameron): If my mom is your mom then why do you call our mom by her first name?
Cameron: Its complicated
John (posting a fb live video of his family): We are going to be famous
Kyle (to John): There are no cellphones at the table
John (reading a comment): Everyone in your family is hot. You have good genetics. Where is that sexy uncle of yours?
Kyle (yelling at John): JOHN CALEB KYLE CONNOR REESE!
John (putting away his cellphone): ok. I am putting away my cellphone.
Sarah: I don't want you to use facebook live anymore. You are exposing us to the authorities and perverts.
John (laughing): sure
(After breakfast Kyle checks on Derek (recovering from the corona virus and living in the basement). Kitty and Chance participate in home schooling. They communicate with their teachers via Zoom. Sarah, John, and Cameron take turns with tutoring the kids. They treat the kids to movie or story time for a treat. Occasionally Kyle would sing and play songs on his guitar for them. In her free private alone time, Sarah would listen to one of James' online sermons or check on Kacey. According to Trevor, both Kacey and the baby survived the disease and delivery).
Date: 4-3-2020
Scene 1: Sarah and Kyle's bedroom
Kacey (on face chat): Hello my beautiful amazing friend. I miss your hugs and our in person conversations.
Sarah (on face chat): Hello Kacey
Kacey: I apologize you for scaring you two days ago. I was knocking on death's door at the time. Thankfully, my life was spared. My baby and I have been discharged from the hospital. We are now safe at home.
Sarah: I forgive you. I thank you for the update. We are in this thing, quarantine
life together.
Kacey: Since I have been home, I have been able to check my social media pages. I love the videos that John has posted. He posted two videos of the family. One video, a Facebook video, displays the family eating dinner. A second video, a TickTock video displays the family having a dance contest.
Sarah (angry as she hangs up the phone ): I have to go. Please excuse me. I have to deal with a certain young adult.
Kacey (trying to hold back her laughter as she hangs up the phone): I understand. Goodbye.
Scene 2: John's bedroom
Sarah (livid as she enters John's bedroom): JOHN CALEB KYLE CONNOR REESE!
John (shocked and caught off guard): Is the problem really that serious?
Sarah: Kacey said you posted videos of our family online. What the hell would possess you to do such a thing?
John: I am really popular online. I almost have a million to a trillion followers.
Sarah: I don't care if you are popular online. You have put our security in jeopardy.
John: I remember you said once that Skynet was no longer hunting us. I assumed I was free to live a normal life.
Sarah: But still we have to use caution
(Kitty and Chance enter the room. As usual, they distract Sarah and take her attention off John. Kitty and Chance help Sarah to cook and prepare dinner. They celebrate Christmas all over again with Christmas Hallmark movies. John feels a little left out but it is what it is. He finds other random things to do with Kyle, Derek, Cameron or even himself.)

Scene 1: The Den
John (sitting on the couch): Can I join y'all for movie time?
Sarah (speaking on behalf of the kids and herself): No
John (totally shocked and caught off guard): Mom..
Sarah: John, you heard me. Please go away. This is my time with Kitty and Chance.
John (jealous and angry all at once): I miss the good old days when it was just you and me. You used to love spend time with me. Why do you love my siblings more than me?
Sarah (yelling at John): Not now especially in front of the children
John (blocking the tv): No. I want to talk right now.
Chance (whining): I can't see the tv
John: I don't care
Kitty: I am missing a very important part of the movie. Please move.
John: I am still not moving
Sarah (very heated): JOHN CALEB KYLE CONNOR REESE
John: I will move if you admit you love my siblings more than me
Sarah (yelling for Kyle): KYLE
Kyle (rushing to the scene): Yes my love
Sarah: Please deal with your son. He is being disrespectful, disobedient, and rude.
Kyle: What is the problem?
Sarah: He is blocking the television screen. He has interrupted my time with our precious babies and little angels.
Kyle (requesting nicely): Please don't block the television screen. Listen to your mother, John.
John (turning off the television screen): The television is off now
(Everyone is flabbergasted and appalled by John's actions)
Kyle (charging at John): Boy, what the hell?
John (avoiding Kyle): I am not a child. I am an adult.
Kyle: You are my child no matter what. You have gone mad and crazy.
John: I am not your main priority anymore. You and mom love my siblings more than me. You treat them differently. You have no time for me. I have become the black sheep of the family.
Sarah (reaching out to hug John): You are my firstborn. You are special to me. I will always love you.
Kyle: I agree with your mom
John (exiting the front door): You need to stop lying to yourself. Goodbye for now.
Sarah (emotional, she follows John): John, I love you.
(Cameron follows John outside. They encounter Derek who has recovered from the virus and considering rejoining the family).
Derek (walking pass John and Cameron in the driveway): Hello John and the machine
Cameron: Derek..
Derek: What?!
John (trying to practice social distancing): Hello, Derek. It is good to see you again.
Derek: I am virus free. I am considering rejoining the family.
John: We are still practicing social distancing
Derek. I understand. I don't give out hugs or handshakes that much.
John: ok
Derek: I will talk to you later
John: If mom or dad ask about my whereabouts, please tell them that I am taking a stroll with Cameron.
Derek: I will
Scene: Inside The House
Derek (entering the house): The sick and the dead have risen
Kyle: Welcome back home, Derek
Derek: I felt as if I was in prison in the basement
Kyle: I apologize for pushing you away
Derek: I forgive you
Sarah: You can watch Hallmark movies with us if you want to
Derek: No thanks
(John and Cameron return from their run or walk. All is well again).
Time Period: A series of flashbacks occurring at the hospital
Situation: Third and final day of Sarah's long hard labor with John
Sarah (nauseous, she clutches her stomach): I have to vomit
A nurse (gives a bucket to Sarah): You can vomit in this bucket
Sarah (between vomiting in the bucket): Thanks
(And then the kind nurse offers Sarah a peppermint and bottled water. Sarah tells the nurse thank you again).
Sarah (struggling through a contraction, she grabs hold of the nurse): Ouch..this hurts and my baby's father is dead
The nurse (rubbing Sarah's back): I am here for you, sweetheart
Sarah (shivering and shaky): I am cold
The nurse (feeling the baby move within Sarah): Maybe you are experiencing pressure down below. The baby is preparing for birth.
Sarah (desperate): My labor has lasted for three days. It is about time for the baby to be born.
A Doctor (entering the room): Lets see if you are fully dilated
Sarah (having a strong urge to push): The baby is coming. I have to push. I must push.
The Doctor (checking Sarah): You are fully dilated ten centimeters
Sarah (feeling uncomfortable): Its starting, the birthing process. I can feel it moving down. Can I push now?
The doctor and nurse: yes you can
Action: The Actual birth
Sarah (crying, screaming, bleeding, and tearing all at once): AHA...AHA..AHA..AHA...AHA
The doctor: Sarah, you must relax your muscles. Bear down, Sarah, push harder.
Sarah (becoming tired and yet attempts to change birthing positions): I can't do this, but I have to get him out.
Nurse (cleaning up Sarah's bloodshed): You are losing a lot of blood
Sarah (giving into her pain again, she grabs hold of the bed railings): GRR...AHA...AHA...AHA
Doctor: You are doing a great job, Sarah
Sarah (sweating and gritting her teeth): AHA...AHA...AHA
Nurse (applying pressure on Sarah's stomach): Please come out baby
The Doctor (monitoring and listening to the baby's declining heartbeat): It has appeared that all the pushing is not working. The baby is refusing to come out the old natural way. His heartbeat is going down. An emergency cesarean section must be performed to save both you and your son.
Sarah (trying to catch her breath and regain her strength): I understand
Nurse (preparing Sarah for surgery): Don't worry, Sarah. Everything will be okay.
(Soon after the surgery (John's birth) the doctor tells Sarah that she can't have anymore babies. A second pregnancy could kill both her and the baby. This news is bittersweet for Sarah. The flashback ends.)
Time Period: The Present Reality- The Quarantine Lifestyle- Sarah makes amends with John by spending time with him. They even walk around the neighborhood together.
Date: 4/9/2020
Action: Sarah and John are walking and running around the neighborhood. They encounter a wild loose dog.
Action: Barking uncontrollably, the dog charges at Sarah and John. The dog takes their attention off Kacey who is waving hello on the front porch.
Sarah (startled and frightened by the dog): AHA..AHA
John (yelling and beating the dog with a stick): GO AWAY
(Obediently the dog leaves Sarah and John alone. Sarah and John go on their merry way).
Sarah (hugging and kissing John): John, you are my hero. I thank you. I love you.
John (blushing and beaming with pride): I love you too
Francis (a figment of Sarah's imagination (the young adult version of Sarah's aborted baby) runs pass Sarah and John): Come on, Mom and John. Lets have a running contest.
Sarah (stuck between reality and fantasy): Yes of course we can have a running contest, Francis.
John (breaking through Sarah's fantasy world): Who is Francis?
Sarah: I had an abortion when I was a teenager, perhaps sixteen ongoing seventeen. I aborted Francis before you born. He could've been your older brother.
John: I remember when you told me about your abortion. In an alternate universe, Francis did exist. He was apart of our family.
Sarah (choked up): Francis has been haunting me. I am a murderer for killing an innocent life. You probably think I am a hypocrite or a monster.
John (wiping a tear off Sarah's face): You are not a hypocrite or a monster. You are my mother.
Sarah: After the abortion, I assumed I was barren. I never knew I was fertile again until I became pregnant with you. You were my miracle baby even at nineteen years old.
John: I have put you through hell though
Sarah (stroking John's hair): You always be my heart
John: I have a great idea for Easter that you and my siblings will love
Sarah (getting excited): Please tell me your idea
John: You, Dad, Derek, Cameron, or I can buy Easter eggs and candy from the store. We hide the Easter eggs in the backyard. Kitty and Chance can have an Easter egg hunt in the backyard.
Sarah: I love your idea. Lets share your idea with your dad, Derek, and Cameron.
(Once home, John shares his idea with Kyle, Derek, and Cameron. They work on the project until Easter Sunday. Besides the Easter egg hunt and dinner, Kitty and Chance enjoy an online sermon by James Ellison. Francis continues to linger in the background of Sarah's mind. She can't stop thinking what life would've been like if Francis lived).
