Time Period: Brenda's flashback
Date: 12-20-1990
Special Event: Kennedy's birth
Brenda ( holding the bed railings, she screams and pushes): Grr..AHA..AHA..AHA
The doctor (preparing to deliver baby A): Brenda, you are an excellent pusher
Brenda (desperate): Is baby A crowning yet?
A nurse (applying pressure to Brenda's stomach): Yes, dear
(Brenda pushes one more time and Kennedy immediately becomes the center of attention. Painful, contractions reshift Brenda's focus.)
Brenda (experiences a pain unlike before): This pain feels different than before
The doctor (examining baby B's position): Baby B is stuck underneath your pelvic bone
Brenda: I want a cesarean section
The doctor: A cesarean section can't be performed because baby b has already begun her descension
Brenda (yelling, she clutches her stomach): ouch...Ouch...OUCH!
(To ensure baby b a safe smooth passage, the doctor and his nurses have Brenda lean on a stretcher for support.)
Brenda (screaming): AHA...AHA...AHA
The doctor (trying to pull out baby B): Brenda, the baby is almost here. Keep pushing.
Brenda: AHA...AHA..AHA...AHA
The doctor ( gives the deformed dead baby to a nurse): Take care of her
The nurse (takes the baby out of the room): I will
(Brenda's pleas to see the baby overshadows the doctor and nurses' worst fears. Tears and one photograph sums up Dawn's brief time with Brenda. The flashback ends.)
