Dr. Abbott, it's Jackie Coulson. I need to get a hold of you immediately.
Dr. Abbott
Dr. Abbott
Jackie what's wrong? I can't speak on the phone right now.
Jackie
Jackie
It happened.
Dr. Abbott
Dr. Abbott
What happened?
Jackie
Jackie
I can't say over text.
Dr. Abbott
Dr. Abbott
This is a secure line.
Jackie
Jackie
The radicals won't get a hold of these messages?
Dr. Abbott
Dr. Abbott
They won't.
Jackie
Jackie
Are you sure?
Dr. Abbott
Dr. Abbott
I am the only government appointed OB/GYN. I can assure you this line is absolutely secure.
Jackie
Jackie
I bought a pregnancy test off the black market.
Jackie
Jackie
It came up positive.
Dr. Abbott
Dr. Abbott
Those tests are engineered to fool you. People are so desperate these days, they'll buy into anything.
Jackie
Jackie
I took 17 of them. They all came up positive.
Dr. Abbott
Dr. Abbott
That doesn't mean anything.
Jackie
Jackie
I read about morning sickness online...I think that's what's happening to me. I also skipped my period.
Dr. Abbott
Dr. Abbott
None of this means anything. When I get back from Germany in a couple of weeks, we can discuss.
Jackie
Jackie
No, Dr. Abbott, I need to know now. Can't you come back to New York?
Dr. Abbott
Dr. Abbott
If I leave, the radicals will notice. They'll track my movements. They'll find you.
Jackie
Jackie
Can you send me some sort of test? Anything?
Dr. Abbott
Dr. Abbott
I'll see what I can do. I have to go now.
________
Dr. Abbott
Dr. Abbott
I'm sending you a specialized test in the mail. It will be disguised in a box of thermometers.
Jackie
Jackie
When will it get here?
Dr. Abbott
Dr. Abbott
Couple days. But there's only one, so don't screw it up.
Jackie
Jackie
Do I pee on it like the others?
Dr. Abbott
Dr. Abbott
Yes, but you have to be precise with it. Have you told anyone?
Jackie
Jackie
No
Dr. Abbott
Dr. Abbott
What about your husband?
Jackie
Jackie
Not even him. I want to know for sure.
Dr. Abbott
Dr. Abbott
Let me know what happens.
_______
Jackie
Jackie
I just got the test. The delivery man seemed suspicious. Wanted to know why I need so many thermometers.
Dr. Abbott
Dr. Abbott
Let me know what the test says.
Jackie
Jackie
Hold on, I'm gonna go down some water.
Jackie
Jackie
Okay, taking the test now.
Jackie
Jackie
Dr. Abbott
Dr. Abbott
Dr. Abbott
Yes?
Jackie
Jackie
It's positive.
Dr. Abbott
Dr. Abbott
Oh my God.
Jackie
Jackie
Holy shit.
Dr. Abbott
Dr. Abbott
You're sure?
Jackie
Jackie
No doubt about it.
Dr. Abbott
Dr. Abbott
Do you realize that you are the first woman in 23 years to become pregnant?
Jackie
Jackie
What do I do?
Dr. Abbott
Dr. Abbott
I'll be back in 6 days. Until I get there, do not leave your house, do not call anyone you wouldn't ordinarily talk to, and do not tell a soul. Not even your husband. I need to do a blood test to confirm absolutely.
Jackie
Jackie
Then what?
Dr. Abbott
Dr. Abbott
Then you go into hiding.
Jackie
Jackie
From the radicals...
Dr. Abbott
Dr. Abbott
These people will do anything to keep the human race from populating. So we have to do anything to protect our only chance for survival.
Dr. Abbott
Dr. Abbott
Until then, no drinking. Eat healthy foods, lean meats, vegetables. Rest often.
Jackie
Jackie
Thank you Dr. Abbott.
________
Jackie
Jackie
Dr. Abbott, I’m scared.
Dr. Abbott
Dr. Abbott
Why? What’s wrong?
Jackie
Jackie
What if I’m not up to this? What if something goes wrong?
Dr. Abbott
Dr. Abbott
With the pregnancy?
Jackie
Jackie
I was reading about miscarriages.
Dr. Abbott
Dr. Abbott
Don’t read about that stuff.
Jackie
Jackie
But it’s a possibility, isn’t it?
Dr. Abbott
Dr. Abbott
Yes, but there’s no use in thinking about it.
Jackie
Jackie
But I’m really afraid. Humanity is relying on me. On JUST me.
Dr. Abbott
Dr. Abbott
But Jackie, if you are fertile, then there’s a chance that others are fertile. And that your children will be fertile!
Jackie
Jackie
You think so?
Dr. Abbott
Dr. Abbott
Of course! In this world of ours, we need to have hope.
Jackie
Jackie
I can already feel her.
Dr. Abbott
Dr. Abbott
Her?
Jackie
Jackie
It’s a girl. It has to be a girl.
Dr. Abbott
Dr. Abbott
Let’s hope she’s a healthy girl.
Jackie
Jackie
When are you returning from Germany?
Dr. Abbott
Dr. Abbott
3 days. I’ll be back in the morning, and I’ll send a car to your home going straight to my office.
Jackie
Jackie
Could I possibly get some security around my home?
Dr. Abbott
Dr. Abbott
No, it’ll attract attention.
Jackie
Jackie
Right, okay. See you in 3 days.
___________
Jackie
Jackie
Oh my God, they know
Dr. Abbott
Dr. Abbott
Who knows?
Jackie
Jackie
The delivery man---he was a radical! They've been around my house, I see them through the windows.
Dr. Abbott
Dr. Abbott
Does your husband know?
Jackie
Jackie
No, and he's confused...should I tell him?
Dr. Abbott
Dr. Abbott
Yes. You'll need his protection.
Jackie
Jackie
Okay I told him. He's in shock. Won’t speak.
Dr. Abbott
Dr. Abbott
Do you have a saferoom, someplace you can go?
Jackie
Jackie
No...only the basement.
Dr. Abbott
Dr. Abbott
Go down there. Lock all the doors and windows.
Jackie
Jackie
Okay we're down in the basement. My husband is freaking out!
Dr. Abbott
Dr. Abbott
Calm down. I'm going to contact the police.
Jackie
Jackie
It's too late for that!!
Dr. Abbott
Dr. Abbott
Just concentrate on keeping you and your baby safe.
Jackie
Jackie
Someone just shot through the basement window!
Dr. Abbott
Dr. Abbott
Where are you??
Jackie
Jackie
I'm hiding in the bathtub, in the basement bathroom
Dr. Abbott
Dr. Abbott
The police are on their way!
Jackie
Jackie
My husband is dead oh my god
Dr. Abbott
Dr. Abbott
Keep calm, they won't find you.

Dr. Abbott

Dr. Abbott
No they aren't. Stay with me Jackie!
Dr. Abbott
Dr. Abbott
Jackie?
Dr. Abbott
Dr. Abbott

Jackie
Jackie
Jackie can't text you anymore, Dr. Abbott. Face the facts: our disgusting race will soon be extinct. And there's nothing you can do.
Dr. Abbott
Dr. Abbott
What did you do?!?!
Jackie
Jackie
Goodbye, Dr. Abbott.
