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
