Reva and Jeffrey are at the hospital now. Reva is trying to hurry him up and says, Come on, we're already ten minutes late, I can't believe it took you so long to change your clothes, we'll just kind of slip in quietly. Jeffrey says in a calm tone, We really shouldn't be going at all. Reva says in an innocent tone, We're not that late......Jeffrey asks, Are you gonna pretend.....like this, all day long? Are you gonna pretend that this isn't something critical, right up till the last minute? Reva says, I'm not having the c-section. I'm gonna take this birthing class, and I'm going to prepare myself for when the baby is ready to come! Now you can come with me, or not! She ends her words in a strong and determined tone. She walks away to go inside the class. Jeffrey just closes his eyes and then stares at her direction in frustration. Reva slips in the class to sit down, while the woman is talking. She's talking about the final stages of labor and contractions and the methods that can be used to make them more comfortable. Jeffrey comes in and sits beside Reva, and is very tense. Reva is asking a question, while Jeffrey is resting his lips to his hand and closing his eyes in frustration and a rising anger at Reva wanting to ignore their situation. Reva asks, Are their showers in the birthing rooms? Jeffrey says, This is ridiculous, that's a ridiculous thing to ask! Reva stares at him in some shock at his conflicting comment. She then tries to paint on a smile and says, Actually honey, it's not. I will be the one in labor, so if I wanna take a shower, I will. Or, if I wanna take a walk on a treadmill, I'll do exactly that, cause, the decision is up to me, on how this baby actually comes into the world. Jeffrey is just trying to bite his tongue and restrain his anger. Reva reaches over and gives him a slight rub on his back. The instructor says, It is important to make sure your wife is comfortable. Reva in agreement says, Yeah, as she gives him a forced smile. Jeffrey, clearly frustrated and angry with Reva's wanting to ignore their situation, says, I need some air and gets up and leaves. Reva ignores his leaving and asks the instructor, .....As far as birthing tubs, I've been doing some reading about that, are there, birthing tubs in any of the rooms? The instructor, murmers, Huh-uh. Reva smiles and looks around at all the other parents, still ignoring that Jeffrey walked out............
Jeffrey is sitting outside the birthing class. He has a very unhappy look on his face. The class is over and the parents are coming out. Reva comes out, talking to the instructor praising her book, and saying that even though she's been through it before, her book has helped make her feel better. The instructor says she's glad that it helped, and wishes her good luck with her baby. Reva thanks her. The instructor walks away and Reva turns to Jeffrey and still is ignoring their situation and starts going on about the class saying, It is your loss, you know what, they do have birthing tubs, here in some of rooms. It's a little weird, but they lower the lights and they play this beautiful music, it's very peaceful. Jeffrey is very stoic and stands up and hands her a folder and says, These are for you, admitting papers. You're scheduled for 3'oclock. Reva looks at him surprised and says, I'm.....I'm not signing those, as she slaps the folder back into his chest.
Jeffrey says, Well, they're already filled out and signed. Reva says, That's not legal. Jeffrey says, I have your power of attorney, remember? Reva sighs and says, This is not your decision to make. He says, It's my baby too, Reva. He gently slaps the folder back onto her and says, Let's go home and pack your bags. He walks away leaving Reva, angry and throwing the file down and seeming like she is following after Jeffrey..........
Jeffrey is outside now, walking to the car. It's snowing and Reva runs after him yelling in anger, Just hold on, stop a minute! You are so out of line! Jeffrey says, I'm trying to keep my wife alive, that's my first priority! Reva says in determination, Well, I'm not going home to pack a bag! Jeffrey says, Alright, fine. We'll check you in now, and then we'll go home and get your bag, after you have the baby. Reva says, I am not going in there! Jeffrey says, Okay, then we'll go home and get your bag and come back here! Reva says, No, I am going to go home and you're.......she pauses in frustration and then yells, I can't have this arguement again! She gets in the car into the driver's seat and Jeffrey asks, Where are you going? Reva says, I just........I am gonna go home, without you, and you're gonna go somewhere else, as she slams the door! Jeffrey yells, Reva.........as he leans on the car door, What are you doing? She yells through the window at him, We need some time apart! She drives off leaving Jeffrey frustrated and staring up into the falling snow............
Reva is at home in the kitchen, and there's a knock at the door! She yells, NO! DO NOT COME IN! I TOLD YOU TO GO AWAY! YOU NEED TO FIND SOMEPLACE ELSE TO SLEEP TONIGHT! There's another slight knock and she sighs, thinking it is Jeffrey and start to tell him, Don't......Just then, Josh peeks in. She says, Hi, I'm sorry, as she gives a chuckle He asks if this is a bad time? She says in a bit of an angered tone, Well, that depends, what do you want? He says, Uh, I just had lunch with Billy, we have some paperwork for you to sign before we can file taxes. She asks, You have a pen? He says, I think you keep the pens in that drawer over there. She says, I knew that! She goes to retrieve the pen as Josh takes off his coat and is watching her in confusion at her angered state. He asks, You mind if I grab a beer? Reva asks, You're honestly going to drink a beer, in front of me? He says, Uh, yeah! Every drop, actually. She says, In the fridge, as he starts to read over the papers. He says, Thank you as he goes to get the beer..........
Doris is in the courtroom and Jeffrey comes in saying, Doris, the clerk said I could find you here. Doris says in anger, Well, here I am! What do you want? You've got ten minutes, I'm having a really bad day! (Grady was a no show in helping her and Buzz up to nail Alan) Jeffrey says, Thanks. Um.....I'm looking for precedence......um, a husband forcing his wife to have a procedure, to deliver a baby, prematurely, due to health reasons. Doris asks, Is your baby in danger? Jeffrey says, No, Reva is...........
Jeffrey is in his office, looking over some papers and lays his head in his hands in frustration and moans. He reaches into his desk and takes out a bottle of booze and kind of looks to see if anyone is coming in and then pours a little bit into his cup and then takes a swig out of the bottle and flinches as he swallows it and puts the bottle away. He then goes back to working.........
Reva is at home sitting in the chair relaxing reading and rubbing her belly talking to the baby saying, You gotta take it easy little guy. She sighs and says, Your mommy is not gonna stay mad at your daddy forever. It will all be over, once he realizes, that I'm right! There's a knock at the door and she says, Bar's closed to ex-husbands! There's another knock and she gets up in a bit of frustration to answer the door. A young guy asks, Reva Shayne O'Neill? She says, Yeah, that's me! He says, These are for you. They're from the DA's office. She seems confused and asks, Are you sure they're not for Jeffrey? She looks at the name on the envelope and says, That's me, alright as she gives a smirk, and a chuckle as she thanks him and signs and gives him a tip and he leaves. She opens the envelope and takes out the papers and reads. It's a subpeoena saying Jeffrey is suing Reva! She looks at it and mumbles, That bastard! She sighs in anger and frustration.............
SHOW OVER!
Jeffrey is not shown in the previews, but Reva is. Reva is pacing in the den, as Lillian is telling Reva, You're supposed to go to court today and face Jeffrey. Now flash to Colin and Doris in Jeffrey's office and Colin saying, (I guess to Jeffrey)..........That's the worst idea I have ever heard. Now flash to Reva on the phone calling Mel, saying, Hi, It's Reva O'Neill......I need a lawyer.
