Time Period: An Alternate Universe or Flashback
Date: December 2009- Nine months later after prom
Situation: A teenage Kara encounters a fellow celestial being named Lydia at birthing class. Lydia is Kara's also classmate and friend. Carol Danvers and Alex are hosting the birthing class at their house.
A teenage Alex (inserting a DVD into the DVD player): We are going to watch a woman give birth now
Kara (nine months pregnant): Bring it on
Alex (playing the video): The birthing process will be different for you, girls.
Lydia (seven months pregnant): How so?
Alex: You two will be giving birth to celestial beings
Lydia (to Carol): Mrs. Danvers, I thank you for inviting me over to your house. I would prefer to be around my peers in a normal setting.
Carol: I understand, but you nor your unborn baby are ordinary
Lydia (choked up): Mrs. Danvers, you are right.
Carol: You are not getting out watching the video that easily
Lydia: You figured out my plan. You are very smart.
Carol: Well Thanks, Lydia. I know you like I know my own daughters.
(The DVD movie plays and it doesn't affect Kara. Lydia becomes nauseous and vomits into a bag. Alex stops the movie immediately.)
Alex: I am so sorry, Lydia
Lydia: Its ok, Alex
Carol (gives bottled water and a peppermint to Lydia): You can have these condiments, dear
Lydia: Thanks
Kara (rubbing Lydia's back): OH MY Poor Friend
Lydia (chewing on a peppermint): Why aren't you affected by the video?
Kara: I have seen the video a lot of times. I vomited when I first watched the video. I was in the early stages of my pregnancy back then.
Lydia: I recall you were gang raped on prom night. I was date raped two months later. I am thankful for your support during my pregnancy and beforehand.
Kara (hugging Lydia): The feeling is mutual
Alex (choked up): You two have touched my heart
Carol: Mine too
Lydia: My son Zen is due in February. Kara is super close to giving birth. I wonder what can I do if something goes wrong during my child's birth.
Carol: What is your birth plan?
Lydia: I am an orphan. My parents sacrificed their lives for me. They sent me away shortly before our home planet was destroyed. They died in the explosion. I was in foster care until I turned eighteen this year. I am currently living in an apartment. I obtained this apartment with the help of my job and resources that I received from a homeless shelter. I am planning to have a home birth.
Alex: Why a home birth?
Lydia: No doctor will be able to handle my case. I am a seraph or an angel after all. I can deliver Zen on my own.
Carol: I admire your determination, but childbirth will be hard for you. There is a slight chance that you may die.
Lydia: But Still..
Kara: Alex is going to be my midwife. She will be able to handle your case. Have you ever considered giving birth at my house?
Alex: Kara is right
Lydia: I will think about your offer.
