Time Period: A Flashback

Date: 12-13-2010

Place: The Doctor's office

Scenario: An Ultrasound test

Lucas (annoyed): My wife and I visited you three days ago

The Doctor: I wanted to see how the baby was doing again

Peyton(anxious): Do you have any more important news for us?

Doctor (examining the baby): All is well for now

Lucas: For now?!

Doctor: The baby has a slight chance for survival. There are a lot of health issues associated with Down Syndrome. Surgery or a medicated abortion, which one will be best for you?

Lucas (appalled): Are you really discussing abortion right now? Is abortion necessary or legal at this stage of the pregnancy?

Doctor: I am just keeping you informed

Peyton: I want to have a medicated abortion

Lucas (livid, he yells): PEYTON!

Peyton (shouting): Its my body. It's my choice.

(Frustrated, Lucas leaves the room. He slams the door right behind him. He never wanted to terminate the pregnancy. Peyton joins Lucas for a long silent ride back home. She notices a March of Dimes event day sale happening at Clothes Over Bros. Lucas drops her off here without making amends first).

Place: Clothes Over Bros

Action: With a heavy heart, Peyton enters the store. One hug from Brooke turns her frown into a smile.

Brooke (looking Peyton up and down): You are surely blossoming

Peyton (excited): I am pregnant

Brooke: Thanks for coming to Clothes Over Bros. I have maternity clothes for you.

Peyton: I love March of Dimes. A friend of mine is expecting a baby that has Down Syndrome.

Brooke: Are you talking about yourself?

Peyton (choked up): Yes

Brooke (sympathetic, she hugs Peyton again): I got you

Time Period: A Flashback

Scenario: Peyton is considering a medicated abortion

Lucas' p.o.v

The doctor has given Lucky a death sentence. She is not expected to survive inside nor outside

the womb. Unlike me, Peyton has lost all hope. She is just only seven months pregnant. She has

considered having a medicated abortion. I wonder if abortion is illegal at this stage? Without

Peyton's permission, I consulted with my mother about our situation. Mom suggested I support

Peyton no matter what. Peyton decided not to go through the abortion in the end.

Time Period: A Flashback-taking place during Lucky's birth

Peyton (pushing hard against the doctor's forceps): GRRR...AHA..AHA

Lucas (squeezing Peyton's hand): You are doing an amazing job, honey
