Scene 1: The Silvers' House

Place: The Den

Situation: Donna (six months pregnant) and David are watching a woman giving birth on the television in preparation for Solomon's birth

David (disgusted): I think I am going vomit

Donna: I consider it to be the miracle of life

David: I don't understand how you can just sit here and act calm

Donna: I am hungry for knowledge

David: Can we please watch something else?

Donna (laughing): No

David: Why not?!

Donna (rubbing her stomach): We need to prepare ourselves for the birth

David: I am planning to skip the birth. I don't want to see you in pain.

Donna: You are the baby's father. You have to support me no matter what. My pain will only last for a short time.

David (with a sigh): You're right

Donna (walking toward the kitchen): I am thirsty. I am getting something to drink.

David (following behind Donna): I am right behind you

(A sharp pain strikes Donna as she opens the refrigerator door to get a bottle of water out)

Donna (rubbing her stomach): Ouch..

David (concerned): Whats the matter, honey?

Donna (hyperventilating, she collapses into David's arms): I can't breathe..

David (carries Donna outside to his car): Off we go to the hospital

Scene 2: The hospital

Place: Donna's hospital room

The Doctor (reading Donna's test results): Donna, you had a pulmonary embolism

Donna (gasps in horror): Pulmonary Embolism?!

The Doctor: Yes

David: Is the Pulmonary Embolism curable?

The Doctor: Yes

Donna (going into preterm labor, she starts having contractions): I think my water just broke. Is there anything to stop the labor?

Doctor (prepares for the birth): This is not good. The fall must've rushed the baby. A cesarean section must be performed asap.

David (squeezing Donna's hand): Don't worry, honey. Everything will be alright.

Donna (emotional): I believe you

Scene: The Emergency room

Special Event: Solomon's birth

The doctor (adding pressure Donna's stomach): This will hurt some

Donna (under anesthesia): Ok

David (assuring Donna): I am here

The doctor (pulling out the baby): Solomon has been born

Donna (worried): Why isn't Solomon crying? Why can't I see him or hold him?

The doctor: Solomon needs special extra care. You can see him in the nicu.

Donna (sobbing, she pleads): I want to see my son now

David (comforting Donna): We will see him soon

Donna: ok
