Alex (timing Kara's contractions): You are having contractions. Remember to breathe.
Kara (talking through the painful contractions): Whenever will my suffering end?
Alex (checking Kara's cervix): You are dilated ten centimeters at last. You can push now.
Kara (exhausted from undergoing three days of long and hard labor): I am not strong enough. I am going to die.
Alex (runs out into the hallway to get Marcellus): Kara is fully dilated! She needs you asap!
Marcellus (rushes to Kara's bedside): Here I am, honey
Kara (clutches her stomach): Our son is coming
Marcellus (touching Kara's stomach): It won't be long now
Alex (instructing Kara): Push, Kara, bear down
Kara (crying and screaming as she begins to push): AHA..AHA...AHA..AHA
Marcellus (a little concerned): Is the baby crowning yet?
Alex: No
Kara (still crying and screaming): AHA..AHA..AHA..AHA
Marcellus (gives Kara extra body support): I got you, sweetie
Kara (pushes with extra force and determination): AHA..AHA..AHA..AHA
Alex: I see the baby's head
Kara (begging Alex): GET IT OUT! GET IT OUT!
Alex (carefully, she pulls the baby out of Kara): Icarus is here. There are bumps on his back.
Marcellus: He was born with wings
Time Period: The Present Reality
Place: Kara's Condo
Special Event: Icarus' birthday party
Action: Solemn, Kara meditates on outside on the balcony. The setting sun reminds Kara of her failed romantic relationship.
Icarus (concerned, he joins Kara on the balcony): Mommy, what is the matter?
Kara (pulls Icarus close to her): I wish your father was here to celebrate your birthday
Icarus (notices a white dove flying overhead): Mommy, daddy has sent us a dove. Maybe the dove is his messenger.
Kara (reads and keeps the paper message provided by the dove): Happy birthday Icarus love your father
Icarus (ecstatic): Daddy didn't forget about my birthday after all
Kara (escorts Icarus back into the house): Its time for you to cut your cake
