PHILIP
No that can't be possible, my baby can't be dead (tears roll down his cheek) doctor what's the sex of the baby.

DOCTOR
It's a boy

PHILIP
(Sadder) my wife wanted a baby boy, now he's dead. I kill him, I killed my child, my son(crying) I can't believe I killed my flesh and blood with my hands(looks at his hands)

ISABELLA
Philip put yourself together, it's not your fault

PHILIP
Then whose fault is it, if it's not mine I hate myself now for killing my child?

MIRANDA
Doctor, can we visit her now, Yvonne will be waiting for us.

DOCTOR
Of course, you can, but she doesn't need stress and needs a lot of rest.

MIRANDA
OK, does she know about what happened to her baby?

DOCTOR
No, like I said she doesn't need anything that will stress her For now, don't tell her about the death of the baby, I will take my leave now.

YVONNE

ISABELLA
Yes, how are you feeling? are you feeling okay?

YVONNE
I'm fine, but I'm so weak and tired (touch her stomach) I can't feel my baby moving, where is my baby? (Held Isabel tightly)

MIRANDA
Don't stress yourself too much, go back to bed and rest. you need enough rest, don't worry your baby is doing fine we talk about it when you get better.

PHILIP
Yvonne, How are you feeling (try to touch her)

YVONNE
Don't touch me, I don't want to see you. Let nothing happen to my baby, all else I will never forgive you and also make you pay, I promise you that.

PHILIP
Yvonne, I am so sorry(trying to be strong)

YVONNE
I said I don't want to see you, get out(shouting) I said get out, get out.

MIRANDA

PHILIP
OK I'll leave, but I come back to see you again (left)

YVONNE
Don't you ever come back here, I don't want to see you again(crying)

MIRANDA
Yvonne takes it easy, you knew you have not recovered and also had an operation, Do you want the cuts to reopen?

YVONNE
No mom, but the one I am feeling in my heart is more painful than the one I'm feeling in my belly.

ISABELLA
Yvonne, don't be hard on yourself. I know you're hurt, but you must take things easy.

YVONNE
Thank you Isabel and Miranda for making me feel better.

MIRANDA
Your welcome, go back to sleep my dear you need to rest.

YVONNE
Okay I will(goes back to sleep)

YVONNE
Isabella since I have been discharged, and brought back home, I haven't seen or heard about my baby. Why do I have a bad feeling about this? Is my baby doing fine?
