Time Period: A Flashback to before John's birth
Scene: Sarah and Kyle's bedroom
Pops ((Arnold) entering the bedroom): Sarah, I heard you ringing the bell. How can I help you?
Sarah ((Emilia) heavily pregnant and on mandatory bed rest): Kyle is currently at work. My shoulders are stiff. Can you please massage my shoulders?
Pops (massaging Sarah's shoulders): Yes of Course
Sarah (breathing heavily): Thanks
Pops: You are welcome. You are breathing heavily. Are you in labor?
Sarah (rubbing her stomach): I have been experiencing a few false contractions, but I am not in labor. My water has to break first. By the rate that I am going, I will give birth on your birthday. I recall your birthday is on July 30th.
Pops: Your will give birth before my birthday. John's birthday is in February instead of July. Your due date, February 28th is almost here. I am looking forward to meeting and holding my grandson.
Sarah: I have such a tiny body frame. I am unsure if I will survive John's birth.
Pops (touching Sarah's cheek): You will survive. I see you in his future.
Sarah: Do you see Kyle in John's future?
Pops: Yes

Sarah (to Pops): John will not be born on your birthday after all
Pops (rubbing Sarah's stomach): John deserves his own personal special day
Sarah (focusing on pushing the baby out ): GRR..AHA...AHA..AHA
The Doctor (witnessing the baby crown): The baby is emerging
Sarah (exhausted and yet determined): AHA...AHA...AHA
The Doctor (places the crying baby on Sarah's stomach): Say hello to your little prince
