Scene 1: A Church Service
A concerned female choir member (whispering to Olivia (age 16)): Liv, you are not singing. What is the matter?
Olivia (clutching her stomach, she quickly exits the stage and heads to the bathroom): I must go. I am sorry. Something is wrong.
Scene 2: The bathroom
Anne (checking on her daughter (Olivia)): Olivia, I can hear you crying. How may I help you?
Olivia (distraught, she exits the bathroom stall): Something is wrong with my baby. My bag of water has broken. I am afraid because my baby is arriving six weeks early.
Anne (embracing Olivia): We will get through this together.
Olivia (experiencing painful contractions): Mom, we must go to the hospital right now.
(Anne informs Stanley (her husband and the church's pastor) about Olivia's condition and the church service is put on hold until other wise)
Scene 2: The Car Ride to The Hospital
Deacon (speaking to the baby inside Olivia's stomach): Please stay inside your mother. Now is not the time for you to come.
Olivia (resisting the urge to push): I have been resisting the urge to push. I don't know how much longer my body can contain Sarah.
Anne: Olivia, we are almost to the hospital. Please hold on.
Olivia (contracting nonstop): UGH...Hurry Up
Deacon (rubbing Olivia's stomach): Just breathe and relax, honey
Olivia (crossing her legs): The pain and pressure are unbearable
Anne: OH MY GOD
Stanley: Do I need to pull the car over to the side of the road?
Olivia: Please keep on driving, dad.
Stanley: OK
(Olivia's sister Meredith and her husband meet the family at the hospital. Anne and Meredith join Olivia in the delivery room while the men wait in the lobby)
Scene 3: The delivery room
Olivia (transitioning over to the pushing stage yet again): Meryl
Meredith (holding Olivia's hand): Yes dear
Olivia (choked up): I apologize for letting you and Lewis down. You deserve a healthy baby.
Meredith: You haven't let us down: We shouldn't give up on Sarah quite yet. Lewis and I will adopt and love Sarah no matter what.
Olivia (holding her legs wide open and bearing down): AHA...AHA...AHA..
Anne (adjusting the pillows behind Olivia's back): You got this
Olivia (pushing along with her contractions): AHA...AHA...AHA...AHA
The Doctor (witnessing the baby crown): Thats a good push, Olivia
Olivia (exhausted): How many more pushes?
The Doctor: Just a few more pushes
(Olivia uses her remaining strength to push out Sarah. Olivia is torn between delivering the after birth and worrying about Sarah who has been transported to the NICU. Eventually Sarah (weighed five pounds at birth) does make a full recovery and goes home with her parents (Meredith and Lewis). Olivia and Deacon love their "neice" from afar).
