(Darla hunches over and leans against a post.)

ANGEL: Hey - Darla? We should - get going. I feel a storm coming. You okay? Another contraction?

DARLA: No. It's something else.

(...)

(Angel supports Darla as he's leading her down the stairs.)

ANGEL: Just a few more steps. That's it. Okay. All right. Guys. A chair. Chair.

(Wes pulls a chair out for Darla.)

GUNN: Jeez, what happened?

ANGEL: (helping Darla sit) Easy.

DARLA: Thanks.

(Gunn looks from Angel to Wes. Angel motions with his head to the corner of the room and he and Wes walk away.)

CORDELIA: (surprised) You're welcome.

FRED: You gave us quite a scare. But, I guess you're used to that, what with being a scary thing and all.

DARLA: Yeah. I'm sorry about that. I don't know what got into me.

(Darla starts to laugh a little insanely)

ANGEL: She's in a lot of pain.

WESLEY: How frequent are the contractions?

ANGEL: It's been... I don't know, maybe an hour?

WESLEY: An hour? She was well into the active stage of labor. I don't understand.

ANGEL: I don't either. She just... stopped having them.

WESLEY: But the pain she's experiencing?

ANGEL: She says she's experiencing something else.

WESLEY: That's worrying.

(Darla suddenly hunches over with a moan of pain.)

CORDELIA: Angel!

(Angel hurries to her side.)

ANGEL: Darla?

DARLA: Angel!

LORNE: Let's get her into my bedroom. Come on. Easy. Easy now. Come on, sweetheart. We'll get you right in there.

(Fred looks down at the chair Darla was sitting on as notices a little puddle of dark blood on the seat.)
