Kate is so distracted that a large truck almost hits her. As Kate is driving home with Max in her car seat, she spots a young man with his child walking together. Max holds up a picture she drew and Kate says in sign language, that it's very beautiful. She is greeted by her and Jon's five-year-old daughter Max. Kate goes straight from Doctor Browning's office to a school for the deaf or hearing impaired. Doctor Browning says that she is able to resist that temptation, then she is most certainly able to hold her own as an adoptive mother. Kate says she didn't, but she was extremely tempted. She also says that she passed by the liquor store on the way to the office, Doctor Browning asks if she went inside. Kate says that perhaps the nightmares are happening because she and Jon are seeing children that same week, so they can adopt one. The next morning, Kate goes to see Doctor Browning, her therapist. She pops an anti-depressant pill into her mouth and then crawls back into bed with Jon. For a moment, she stares at the large incision scar that goes from her bellybutton all the way to her abdomen. Kate creeps out of bed, without waking Jon, and goes to the bathroom. Kate springs up in bed after her nightmare. After a few seconds, a baby's cry is heard and the nurse hands her a stillborn baby covered in a bloody blanket. Kate yells and screams as the doctor cuts into her, Jon walks into the room with a video camera and tells Kate that she is doing perfect. Before she has time to think, the doctor grabs his scalpel and begins to cut into Kate's stomach, Kate wants to be put to sleep but the doctor says there isn't time. Kate is in disbelief and tells them that the baby is alive. The nurse tells her that the baby is stillborn but they have to deliver it anyway. The doctor tells her to relax, but Kate knows something is wrong with her baby. In the delivery room, Kate is in a lot of pain and asks where Jon is, but nobody will tell her anything. The nurse pushes the wheelchair along as if nothing is happening, but the audience can see blood trailing behind the wheelchair. While Jon registers at the front desk in the lobby, Kate is wheeled towards the delivery room, but a painful contraction hits and Kate sees she is bleeding heavily.
