Scene One: The Maternity ward of Massachusetts General Hospital. Mass General is one of the pre-eminent hospitals, not only in the Boston metropolitan area, but also in the whole country. Here, Rosemary Harper Wilson is wheeled into a room. Mark Wilson is worried; as is her best friend, Stephanie Rendell. Patricia Wheeler, her aunt, is with the two. Dr. Abby Stevenson, the chief of Staff at Harper Memorial Hospital, a satellite hospital of Mass General, goes back with Dr. Steven Lowndes, a noted OB/GYN. PATRICIA: I hope she is all right. MARK: Damn Erica and her letters! STEPHANIE: She just has to pull through. She HAS to. MARK: I know, Stephanie. PATRICIA: Can you two wait here for me. I have to make some calls. MARK: To the family, right? PATRICIA: Right. MARK: OK, we'll be here. (Mark and Stephanie wait while Patricia takes her cell phone and calls the other family members.) Scene Two: Sheila Watkins Designs. Sheila and Christina are looking over some new designs. SHEILA: These are your best yet. This fashion show will be great. CHRISTINA: I know. These are the showstoppers if there ever was any. (Sheila's desk phone rings. Christina answers it, and listens. A look of worry crosses her face) SHEILA: What's wrong, Christina? CHRISTINA: It's your cousin Rosemary. She's been taken to the hospital. SHEILA: Which one? Harper Memorial? CHRISTINA: No, your aunt said it was Massachusetts General in Boston. SHEILA: Did they say what it was? CHRISTINA: Her water broke. She's giving birth. SHEILA: I'll call Allen on the way there. C'mon, Christina, we're driving there. CHRISTINA: I'm not family, Sheila. SHEILA: To me, you are. C'mon. (Sheila and Christina leave instructions with one of the other designers, and they go to Sheila's Mazda.) Scene Three: Dylan and Alex's guest house. Dylan is busy emptying the dishwasher when the phone rings. It's Dylan's aunt, Velda. Velda was considered an aunt to the family, due to their adopting her blood niece, Anyssa. DYLAN: Hello? VELDA: Dylan, darling, it's Aunt Vel. DYLAN: What can I do for you, Aunt Vel? VELDA: Have you heard anything from the rest of the family? DYLAN: Is something wrong? VELDA: I got a call from Patricia. Rosemary is in the hospital. DYLAN: Oh, my goodness. (Enter Alex and Audra) VELDA: Are you on your way there? DYLAN: We will be momentarily. (Dylan hangs up the phone) ALEX: What did Aunt Vel want? AUDRA: Are you all right? DYLAN: Rosemary is in the hospital, in Boston. ALEX: I talked with Anyssa. She and Bryan just got the call too. AUDRA: What are we to do? DYLAN: Get to Mass General. Aunt Patricia told Aunt Vel that they were all congregating in the Maternity Ward waiting room. AUDRA: I talked with Anyssa too, I told her and Bryan to come here, we'll drive in the new Montana. ALEX: Thank heavens that we were able to buy Sheila's old Montana. AUDRA: Sheila and her assistant are driving up there. Allen and his family are driving up there with the rest of his family. ALEX: Let's get up there. (Alex; Audra and Dylan, along with Anyssa and Bryan, get into the Montana and drive up to Boston.) Scene Four: Astrid McIntyre's apartment. She and Amy are preparing her new bedroom. AMY: You don't have to do this, Astrid. ASTRID: I want to. You had no place, and I have the room. AMY: Plus you work with Adam and Aaron. ASTRID: And they put in a good word for you. (Phone rings) AMY: I got it, Astrid. ASTRID: Thanks, Amy. AMY: Hello, Amy Smythe. STEPHANIE: Is Astrid McIntyre there? AMY: I can get her, this is her roommate. STEPHANIE: This may affect you as well. This is Stephanie Rendell, Rosemary Harper Wilson's best friend. She is in the hospital. She is at the Mass general maternity ward. Can you guys get there? AMY: I am sure we will. STEPHANIE: Can you put her on, please. AMY: Sure. (She covers the phone) Astrid? It's Stephanie Rendell. ASTRID: Thanks, Amy. Hello? STEPHANIE: Astrid? Your Aunt Patricia told me to call you. ASTRID: How bad? STEPHANIE: She is in a delivery room right now. There may be some issues. ASTRID: We're on our way. STEPHANIE: Ok. (Astrid hangs up. She looks at Amy) ASTRID: We need to get to Mass General maternity ward. Rosemary is giving birth. AMY: Do you need me to stay here? ASTRID: No, you come with me. AMY: Ok. And Astrid? ASTRID: Yes? AMY: Thank you for allowing me to stay with you. ASTRID: That is what friends are for. (Amy and Astrid hug one another, and then they grab their coats and go to Astrid's car) Scene Five: The Haller guest house. NICHOLAS: That was Allen, Aunt Victoria. VICTORIA: I know. Rosemary is in the maternity ward. NICHOLAS: It sounds more serious. VICTORIA: I will get the others and we will go. Allen was in Boston, visiting Robert, and they will come to the hospital straight away. NICHOLAS: I should get Jacqueline. VICTORIA: What about Taylor? NICHOLAS: I called Taylor and told her. She and Ashlyn are on their way there. She closed the store for a few hours. VICTORIA: OK, I have Nicky here. We'll stop off and get Jacqueline at her job. Then we'll head on there. NICHOLAS: I called Adam at the Beanpot. He and Aaron allowed her to clock off. VICTORIA: That is good. NICHOLAS: Let's go. (Victoria takes Baby Nicky and gets him situated in the car. Nicholas and Victoria drive off to get Jacqueline from work.) (Voice of Barbara Windsor: "Harpers Falls: A New Beginning will continue in a moment, here on ONtv.") Scene Six: Erica's Apartment. ERICA: Awesome work, Hartselle. The letter arrived. My friend at the post office told me. HARTSELLE: I still think this is kind of brutal. ERICA: It may be brutal, but Rosemary will thank me for this later. HARTSELLE: I just hope that I am not around when Rosemary finds out what you did. ERICA: How will she find out? I covered all my tracks. HARTSELLE: Maybe so, but someone COULD find out. ERICA: Don't worry, Hartselle. I will lie my way out of it. HARTSELLE: Ok, I just hope you know what you are doing. ERICA: I do. You don't worry about it. You go and take a month's vacation. You did fine work. HARTSELLE: Thank you, Ma'am. (Erica hangs up the phone) ERICA: Hehehehehe! You're going to shower me with thanks, Rosemary. I am only protecting you from the hassles of a baby. (Erica smiles wickedly) Scene Seven: The Atchley Mansion. HANNAH: Craig! CRAIG: What is it, darling? HANNAH: My sister, Rosemary. CRAIG: What is it? HANNAH: She is at Mass. General. CRAIG: She's giving birth? HANNAH: Yeah, I think so. CRAIG: I will send for the car. Maybe you should bring Maggie. HANNAH: I will. (Hannah gets Maggie in her car seat, while Craig calls for the car. They go down to the front walk.) Scene Eight: Harper Mansion. Vivienne gets the call. Wendy is with her. VIVIENNE: Right, Michael. We're on our way. We'll bring Velda with us. WENDY: What is going on, Viv? VIVIENNE: Rosemary is in the hospital. Mass. General. WENDY: Her water break? VIVIENNE: Yes. WENDY: Are we to go there? VIVIENNE: Yes, we are. We are to take Velda with us. (Enter Velda) VELDA: I called a car, Ma'am. VIVIENNE: We're on our way. (Velda, Vivienne and Wendy get to the car, and are on their way to the hospital) Scene Nine: Outside of the Hospital. ANYSSA: Where is everyone? DYLAN: They're coming, Nyssa. BRYAN: Don't worry, hon. Everyone has to have heard. (Enter Sheila and Christina) CHRISTINA: We're all called. SHEILA: Are we late? DYLAN: Nope, we just got here. ALEX: Where's Michael? (Enter Michael, he is with Cliff Atkinson) MICHAEL: We just got here. I talked with Wendy. She, Vel and Vivienne are on their way. CLIFF: We were at my club when the call came. DYLAN: How about your family, Mr. Atkinson? CLIFF: Liane, Jane and Mark will be at the house. ALEX: Ok. (Enter Patricia.) PATRICIA: Where is everyone else? DYLAN: They are coming. (Enter Astrid and Amy; followed by the Haller family; Allen and then Hannah and Craig) AMY: We just got here. PATRICIA: Mark and Stephanie are in the waiting room. (Enter Wendy; Vivienne and Velda) VELDA: I called India. She was at a charity event that she couldn't get out of, not that she didn't try to. PATRICIA: I talked with her too, and I told her that I would keep her updated. (Enter Michelle and Sydney) SYDNEY: How is she? PATRICIA: We will find out soon enough. (The family goes in together) Scene Ten: Everyone is gathered together. ABBY: Dr. Lowndes is out here. PATRICIA: Doesn't sound promising. DR. LOWNDES: I am afraid you are right there, Ms. Wheeler. MICHAEL: Doctor, what is going on with my daughter? DR. LOWNDES: We are doing the best we can, Mr. Harper. MARK: Her water broke. DR. LOWNDES: Yes, it did, Mr. Wilson. But we have a problem. ANYSSA: What is it? DR. LOWNDES: The baby is premature. About two months. MARK: Oh no! SHEILA: What does this mean? DR. LOWNDES: The baby hasn't developed enough. There could be complications. DYLAN: God, no! AUDRA: Is there ANYTHING that can be done? DR. LOWNDES: Yes, there is. There is perhaps only one foreseeable way of saving her and the baby. STEPHANIE: What is that? DR. LOWNDES: She will have to undergo a caesarian section. (The family is stunned in silence. The scene fades) (Voice of Kate Ritchie: "On the next Harpers Falls: A New Beginning...") ERICA (to Hartselle): Things are working well for us! ADAM (to Aaron): I am hoping that Rosemary is all right. DR. LOWNDES (to the stunned family): I am sorry, we tried all we could. |
