Date: July 1997

Event: Callie's birth

Place: A Hospital Delivery Room

Jen (aggressively pushing and screaming): AHA..AHA..AHA

The doctor, Helen, and Jack aka Robert (cheering on Jen): Push, Jen, you can do this

Jen (still desperately trying to bring forth the baby): AHA..AHA..AHA

The doctor (places a crying baby girl in Jen's arms): You have a daughter

Jen (extremely exhausted but happy): Her name will be Callie. I shall raise her on my own.

Helen and Jack (alarmed): Jen, you are crazy!

Jen (yelling at Jack): You have lost my trust. You have kept too many secrets such as your real name from me. I never knew your real full name was Robert Jack Quinn Mcphee. Your sexual orientation has confused me as well. I never knew you were bisexual. Callie doesn't deserve a liar as a father.

Jack (disappointed, he leaves the room): I wish you good luck

Jen: Ok, whatever

Helen: Jennifer Lindley Ryan, that wasn't the nice Christian thing to do!

Jen (feeling somewhat guilty): I am sorry, gramps

Helen (embracing Jen): I forgive you
