FADE IN:
CLOSE -- KATE COLEMAN (MID 30S )

wearing a hospital gown. A heart rate monitor BEEPS. She touches
her swollen belly, flush with excitement, her eyes full of wonder.MAN'S VOICE (O.S.)

Harsh lights overhead. -THUNDER rumbles outside. Kate's on a.

BLADES and CURETTES, NEEDLES and FORCEPS. Kate is stricken. She
tries to sit up.KATE
