A Deadly Adoption Page #2

Synopsis: Living in the small town of Storm Lake, married upper middle class couple Robert and Sarah Benson faced a life changing incident five years ago when a freak accident led to a then pregnant Sarah, an organic hobby farmer, losing the baby and not being able to conceive children anymore. Feeling guilty for not fixing their broken dock which caused the accident, Robert, an author of personal financial management self help books, took to the bottle, although he has now been sober for six months. Robert dotes on their only child, six year old Sully, and constantly worries about her diabetic condition. They are pursuing adoption as Sarah believes another child would bring a much needed balance into their lives, especially in getting Robert out of his funk. He has been in this state specifically since his last book tour, about which he does not remember much due to his drinking and hard partying.

mother they want us to meet.

Robert's hated

them all, right?

Yeah. I mean,

I haven't been too crazy

about

any of them either,

but apparently

this woman

is really just jumping at

the chance to meet us, so...

Well, maybe she's the one.

I hope so. I really

think another baby

will bring

the old Robert back.

I remember that guy.

He used to dance around this

kitchen to corny old music.

Yeah.

Seems like

a million years ago.

Well, we pulled

that off, another year.

All those kids.

She never stopped

running around.

No wonder she passed out

like a log.

A happy log.

You seem distracted.

Oh, it's this deadline.

I have to get the book

to the publisher

by the end of the month.

So it's just

the book then?

Okay, Sarah,

you know it's the day.

It always

has this effect on me.

Yeah, but maybe every

year gets a little easier.

That's just it.

I think it's actually

getting worse.

I can still picture the

accident like it was yesterday.

You shouldn't-

I knew the dock was rotten.

Robert, stop beating

yourself up.

You know what happens.

I'm trying.

I believe you.

It's not just you

I'm thinking about.

Don't you think I know?

It's Sully.

I can't stop

worrying about her.

The diabetes.

Did she eat too much cake

when I wasn't looking?

Is she too active?

It's driving me insane.

Well, hopefully, you'll like

this birth mother tomorrow.

I think having a second

baby around here

will really restore

the balance.

I know.

And we've tried

everything.

You know

I can't have children.

You're right.

I think it's the day,

this book.

It's just

all too much stress.

Well, you know, I know an

old-fashioned remedy for stress.

- Really?

- Mm-hmm.

Old family secret?

Oh, yeah, it's been

in the family for years.

I'm all yours, doctor.

- Hello, there.

- Helen, hi. Welcome.

Don't mind me.

I was just watering.

This is Bridgette.

Hello.

I thought houses like this

only existed in the movies.

Oh, thanks. Yeah, we're

really proud of it.

Come on in.

Is Robert here?

Yeah, we're expecting

both of you.

Can I get you anything?

Coffee for me.

My husband should

be down in a second.

- Here you go.

- Thank you.

You sure I can't

get you anything?

Yeah. I just had a shake and

some fries before I got here.

Your daughter?

Yeah. Sully.

She's our world.

- She's beautiful.

- Oh, thanks.

You like children?

Oh, yes.

One day, I want to have

a really big family.

I mean, when I'm ready.

Of course.

Hello, everyone.

Robert,

this is Bridgette.

Bridgette...

Bridgette Gibson.

- Hello.

- Hi.

Oh! Oh, look what I did!

It's quite all right.

No, no. I'll go get a broom.

I'm so stupid.

I don't want you
