Theme-Baby John

Time Period: The Present

Place: The Highway

Situation: Sarah (Linda) pulls the jeep over to the side of the road because the jeep has a flat tire. Dany watches on in awe as Grace replaces the flat tire. Sarah discovers an old baby picture of John in the backseat. This is the only picture that she has of him.

Dany (looking over Sarah's shoulder): The baby in the photo is cute. What is his name? What is his relationship to you?

Sarah (becoming emotional as she shows Dany the picture): His name was John and he was my son.

Dany: You barely speak about your son. I thank you for sharing. Who was John's father and whatever happened to him?

Sarah (to Grace): Are you done with replacing the tire?

Grace: Yes

Sarah: I thank you for replacing the tire

Grace: You are welcome

(And Then The Lovely Trio continue on with their road trip)


Time Period: Flashbacks-Before and After John's birth

Scenario: Sarah's braxton hicks and push gift

Scene: Sarah and Kyle's bedroom

Kyle (Jai Courtney) (enters the room bearing a push gift for Sarah)): I have a push gift for you, honey

Sarah (Emilia Clarke) (pregnant and on mandatory bedrest) is experiencing false labor pains): Ouch...

Pops (checking on Sarah): Are you okay? How can I help you?

Sarah: I am fine. I don't need your help.

Pops (leaving the room): ok, sweetheart

Sarah: Ouch...

Kyle (nervous, anxious, and excited all at once): I assume you are having those braxton hicks again

Sarah (rubbing her huge stomach): Yes, I am indeed having braxton hicks again. They hurt so much. I can barely leave the bed. Our son's arrival is imminent.

Kyle (giving the gift to Sarah): Before you give birth, please open your push gift.

(Sarah opens her gift and it is a ring. Sarah hugs and kisses Kyle.)


Scenario: John's actual birth via an emergency cesarean section

Place: The operating room

Sarah (fully awake and emotional, she lays on the operating table): I hope and pray John is okay. I can't lose him.

Kyle (becoming emotional because of Sarah): We will not lose our son

A doctor (performing the surgery): Please hold on. Your son is almost out.

(Minutes-seconds later John enters the world weighing nine pounds. Sarah, Kyle, and Pops take great delight in him.)


Time Period: Between a flashback and the present reality

Situation: John (Thomas) and Sarah (Lena) discuss John's infancy over breakfast

John: What do you remember about me as a baby?

Sarah: You cried a lot as a baby

John: Is that all?

Sarah: We are eating breakfast. I know you don't want to discuss your birth.

John: I don't mind if you talk about my birth. You barely speak about it.

Sarah (choked up): I had a hard time with giving birth to you. You refused to come out the old natural way. An emergency cesarean section saved our lives. You were my miracle baby. The doctor said I couldn't have anymore babies after you. A second pregnancy would've killed me.

John: I understand. Thanks for sharing.

Sarah: You are welcome
