Place: Rachel's Hospital Recovery Room
Brooke (carrying Baby True, she enters the room): Rachel, I received both your text and voice mail messages. I remember you said you were in the hospital. What happened to you?
Rachel (resting in bed): Can I please hold your beautiful daughter?
Brooke (placing True in Rachel's arms): Yes of course
Rachel: Thanks
Brooke: I want to know why you are in the hospital
Rachel (choked up): I was contemplating suicide until I experienced complications with my pregnancy. I was bleeding heavily in my bed. I contacted 911 assuming I was losing my baby. Thankfully, my sixteen week fetus is alive and thriving well. It is a girl.
Brooke: Why did you want to kill yourself?
Rachel: My daughter has Down Syndrome. I blamed myself for her Down Syndrome.
