Time Period: A Flashback to a few hours earlier

Scene: A Hospital Delivery Room

Event: Lucky's birth

A nurse (listening to Lucky's declining heartbeat): The baby's heartbeat is in distress. Something is wrong.

The doctor (to the nurse): I thank you for informing me. The baby must be stuck in the birth canal.

Lucas and Peyton (worried): Stuck?!

The Doctor: Absolutely

Lucas (rubbing Peyton's stomach): How are you feeling right now, honey?

Peyton (experiencing painful contractions and an irresistible urge to push): I can't move right now. The contractions are coming really fast. The baby is super close. Can I still push her out?

The doctor: The baby is stuck, but I am sure you can push her out.

Peyton (feeling uncomfortable but trying to relax): What is the next step then?

The doctor (reaching for forceps): I am going to use forceps

Peyton: By whatever means necessary, please save my baby.

Lucas (touching Peyton's cheek): Are you sure about the forceps?

Peyton: Definitely

The doctor (inserting the forceps deep inside Peyton): Just breathe and relax

Peyton (crying and screaming out in pain): UGH...AHA...AHA

Lucas (sensitive to Peyton's pain and sorrow): Everything will be okay

Peyton (pushing hard against the forceps): GRR...AHA..AHA

A nurse (shifting the fetal heartbeat monitor on Peyton's round stomach): You got this, Peyton

Peyton (tired, she stops pushing briefly): I can't do this

Lucas (squeezing Peyton's hand): I believe you can do this

Peyton (actively and desperately trying to push out the baby): AHA...AHA...AHA...AHA...

The Doctor: Bear Down, Peyton, Push Harder. Use your contractions. They will help you to push out the baby.

Peyton (pushing along with her contractions): Hmmm..
