Time Period: A Flashback- An Alternate Universe

Scene: A Medical Office Inside the DEO

Situation: Kara discovers Icarus has Down's Syndrome

Alex (greets Kara and Marcellus): Welcome to my office, Kara and Marcellus

Kara (worried, she sits down in a chair): Your voice mail message said you received the amino test results.

Alex (sitting down at her desk): You are correct

Marcellus (squeezing Kara's hand): Everything will be alright

Kara (choked up): What if the baby isn't fine?

Alex: Please let me read the test results first

Kara (anxious): What are amino test results?

Alex (fighting back tears as she reviews the test results): Your baby has Down's Syndrome. I am so sorry.

Marcellus (angry, he leaves the room): This is all your fault, Kara

Kara (breaks down crying in Alex's arms): I can't do this, I'm not strong enough.

Alex (comforting Kara): The baby's Down's Syndrome is not your fault. You are carrying and will give birth to a svery special baby. I will help you.


Time Period: A Flashback

Scene: Kara's apartment

Situation: Alex visits Kara while Kara is contemplating abortion. Kara contains in her possession a bottle of pills that can possibly end her pregnancy.

Alex (enters the apartment with bags of baby items): Kara, I have brought items for the baby.

Kara (depressed, she sits on the couch and looks over the bottle of pills): The baby has Down's Syndrome. Whoever said I wanted to keep and have the baby?

Alex (joining Kara on the couch): I apologize for assuming you wanted to keep and have the baby.

Kara (shows Alex the bottle of pills): I am planning to have a medicated abortion.

Alex: I recall you said Marcellus could kill you if you had an abortion.

Kara: Marcellus has changed his mind. He has given me permission to terminate the pregnancy. He will not hurt nor kill me.

Alex: Do you want to terminate the pregnancy?

Kara (choked up): I want to have an abortion, but something inside me disagrees

Alex: I can take the baby items back to the store if you want me to

Kara (rubbing her stomach): You can leave the baby items here at my apartment. I might need and use them.

Alex: Are you considering keeping the baby?

Kara: Yes. I am not from Earth and yet you have accepted me. Raising a baby with Down's Syndrome will be hard, but it is what it is.

Alex (discarding the pills): You won't need these pills anymore then

Kara (pushing as she leans on a metal bar): AHA..AHA..AHA

Alex (acting as Kara's doctor): Keep on pushing, Kara. You must bring this baby down.

Kara (exhausted, she collapses on her pillow): I can't do this, I'm just strong enough.

Alex: You can rest. You have been pushing for a long time.

Kara (feeling pressure and the urge to push again): I must push

Alex (kissing and rubbing Kara's big swollen stomach): Okay

Kara (getting into the birthing position): Icarus is coming. I can feel him.

Alex: Do you want to squat or stay on the bed?

Kara: I can't move. I will stay on the bed. Icarus is very close.

Alex: You can go ahead and push then.

(Kara pushes until she feels a great release. Icarus is born with wings).
