SYNOPSIS:
Olivia (Kenzie Taylor) and Jacob (Eric Masterson), a nervous couple, wait anxiously in an office. Jacob is quietly assuring Olivia that everything will be okay. The door opens and Dr. Cross (Tommy Pistol), a fertility doctor, enters with test result papers in hand on two identical clipboards. With his back turned to the couple as he closes the door behind him, he grins darkly to himself.
TITLE PLATE
Dr. Cross sits down and thanks them for coming in. The couple looks anxious but excited until he puts on a solemn face and tells them that he has bad news: Jacob is infertile. They are shocked, with Jacob especially feeling terrible. They tearfully ask what they can do. Dr. Cross kindly and resolutely tells them that there are some options and that he will do everything he can to help them.
Dr. Cross suggests traditional fertility treatments but Olivia and Jacob can't afford any of them. As the couple fret, trying to comfort each other, Dr. Cross is slightly grinning to himself, unnoticed, feeding off their misery. As Olivia clutches Jacob, burying her face into him and letting out a choked sob, Dr. Cross says that there is ONE solution he can propose. Olivia lifts her head, the doctor having their full attention.
Dr. Cross takes a deep breath and levelly says that he can have sex with Olivia to impregnate her on their behalf. Olivia is stunned but Jacob is outraged, coming at Dr. Cross. Kenzie holds Jacob back as he cools down and the couple discusses their options, with Dr. Cross silently revelling in their misery. They are still heavily conflicted and seem about to say no, but Dr. Cross continues his scare tactics. Finally the anguished couple agree.
What Dr. Cross is about to do may have seemed inconceivable to Olivia and Jacob earlier that day, but now they're all out of options...
