Part 37

Ario: Grace, no, (holds Grace tighter) I'm not taking your heart. I won't allow it
December: yeah, we should just wait it out. See what happens. Grace, whatever you're thinking, please stop
Grace: why not, my heart is just as good as anyone else's. Ario let me help you
Ario: that's not helping me. You taking your life isn't helping me. I could not live, knowing that you're not alive with me
Grace: but I want you to live, (starts to cry) I love you Ario but I rather give you my heart than seeing you die. Please Ario
Ario: I love you too, and I rather die than not to be with you (kisses Grace) please don't do this. I need you with your family. What about Darian and Juana? What about your parents? You have so much more to live for
Grace: they're gonna lose a sibling either way so why can't it be me. Ario I'm gonna do it, I know you love me and that's all I need to know (gets up) you'll be happy I already know it. I just a got a feeling you'll be happy even after I'm gone
Ario: mom!
Eliah: Grace, there's a process. You have to be tested. See if your heart is the right size, and then, there's a risk that his body might reject your heart. Then, we'll lose both of you
Ario: see! You can't do this.
Grace: we can try, Ario let's try I wanna try (walks out)
Darian: dios me ayude por favor y gracia salir de esto (puts head down)
Ario: I'm not doing it. I'm telling the doctor that right now (leaves)
Juana: I don't know. I want Ario to live, but I don't want Grace to die in the process
Eliah: I'm pretty sure Grace isn't even the same blood type, right, Julian?
Julian: I gotta call April (walks out)
December: wait, I know I'm O+. I'm perfectly healthy, and my heart should be the right choice
Juana: no, December, you definitely can't do it.
December: I know that Darian wants his sister and I want my brother. A choice has to be made, it's either Grace or me or Ario dies.
Darian: December don't do it. I don't wanna end up losing you too
December: (grabs Darian's face) I know how much your sister means to you, more than I ever could. You'll move on, baby, but you can't move from Grace
Eliah: I would do it, but I'm not eligible. I have an idea. Demetrius is my only hope! (walks out)
Darian: I have my dad's blood type. Ugh, December you're gonna be the last girlfriend I have. I don't wanna go through this feeling again.
Grace: (comes in crying) Ario! Just let me do it! (Puts back up against the wall and falls to the floor)
Darian: Grace
(Outside the room)
Eliah: Demetrius, please. He's our son. He needs to live on. You're his father.
Demetrius: what about Kendra?
Eliah: honestly, I'm more worried about OUR son than YOUR second time wife. You don't care if your daughter gives her heart or your daughter-in-law?
Demetrius: (chuckles) okay, I have to make a will now though.
Eliah: thank you, Demetrius. I love you for this
Demetrius: you better make sure I have the best funeral ever.
Eliah: (smiles) of course. Thank you
Demetrius: yeah, whatever, lets hope this work. (Hangs up)
Ario: (walks up) Momma, wassup?
Eliah: I think we found a heart.
Ario: really?
Eliah: yeah, but we have to make test runs first
Ario: (hugs Eliah) thank you, Momma!
Eliah: (smiles) okay
(In the room)
Darian: (sits next to Grace) everything will be okay (starts wheezing then coughs) damn
Grace: (looks up) you okay?
Darian: (nods) mhm, it'll pass like last time
Grace: is it your asthma?
Darian: we both know what come with asthma, just chill it'll pass in time
Grace: how long have you been wheezing like this?
Darian: few days now but only cause I couldn't find my pump. But I got a new one so I'll be fine
Ario: (comes into the room and sits next to Juana) are you okay, little sis?
Juana: I think the babies are ready now
Eliah: wanna call the doctor?
Dr. Bryce: (comes in with nurses) no need, I'm here to see how far along are you? (Checks and smiles) you're ready. Okay, everyone, except two people, leave. She's ready to push
Eliah: I'm staying (stands next to Juana)
Ario: I'll leave (leaves)
December: me too (leaves)
Julian: tyrrell you wanna stay?
Grace: (leaves with Darian)
Tyrrell: yeah, (holds Juana's hand) I'll stay
Juana: I'll see you guys!
Eliah: (hugs Julian and smiles) we're going to be grandparents soon enough, yay!
Julian: (leaves)
(Outside)
Ario: (kneels in front of Grace) are you mad at me?
Grace: (shakes head) I'm frustrated
Ario: my mom said she thinks that they think found a heart for me. I don't know much though
Grace: (grabs Ario and hugs him)
Ario: I'm hoping this heart is good
Grace: me too
Darian: (starts coughing)
Grace: you alright?
Darian: yeah sorry I was trying to hold it in cause I didn't wanna ruin that moment
Ario: man, you need a doctor if your pump isn't working
December: yeah, I'm starting to worry, Darian
Darian: I'm fine don't worry bout me (waves hand)
December: you've been coughing like this all day. Now, either you go see a doctor, or imma call your mom and she'll make you
Darian: you don't wanna call her
December: why?
Darian: she's at the clinic getting some business done. Let's not interrupt her
December: (glares at Darian) go see the doctor now
Darian: for what I'm fine. It was just a simple cough, see look (takes pump) see (holds in cough)
December: Go see one or I'm leaving you. I'm dead serious too
Darian: dammit why you gotta take things so far (gets up) I said I was fine (leaves)
Grace: I don't understand why he thinks ignoring an asthma attack is okay
December: I think he caught Ario's stupidity
Ario: Grace, go talk to him. You've been ignoring him and he misses you a lot.
Grace: to be fair I was ignoring everyone including you. But okay (gets up and leaves) hey Darian
Darian: hm?
Grace: wait up, you're not supposed to go anywhere without your twin
Darian: (smiles) come on then
Grace: (catches up)
December: Ario, I don't know what to do
Ario: oh my god, what is it?
December: I changed my mind about the baby
Ario: (rolls eyes)
December: but I don't know what to do about Darian. I don't think I could raise a child with him. I love him, but...
Ario: so you're going to keep him from his baby?
December: maybe, I don't want to but at the same time
Ario: you wanna be with hin?
December: yeah, but I don't wanna be a family with him
Ario: why?
December: look at him, he's not ready for fatherhood. He's barely ready for marriage and that's what I want. It's so frustrating
Ario: (nods) yeah, just do what your heart tells you
(W/ Grace)
Doctor: Darian imma need you to breath in and out for me (puts stethoscope onto Darian's chest)
Darian: (breathes in and out)
Doctor: alright you had a mild asthma attack but you'll be fine after you take this
Darian: uh what is it?
Grace: don't question her just take it
Darian: uh I like to know what I'm putting in my mouth
Grace: well I'm about to stick my foot down your throat
Doctor: (chuckles) it gonna make the swelling go down on your breathing tube and make the mucus that's stuck in your wind pipe dissolve
Darian: oh uh well thanks
Doctor: no problem (winks)
Grace: (looks at the doctor then Darian) ew lady come on (grabs Darian's hand) lets go
(W/ December)
December: (sees her doctor) Hi Dr. Lee
Dr. Lee: hey, is this your brother?
December: yup, Ario, this is my doctor.
Ario: hello
Dr. Lee: so you decided on what you're doing with the fetus?
December: (nods) I'm most definitely keeping it
Dr. Lee: are you sure? Does the father knows?
Ario: (points to Darian and Grace) he does now
December: ah shit
Darian: you're keeping it?
December: yeah, I'm keeping it, but I'm raising it on my own.
Ario: (covers December's mouth) sis, no, don't stress him out
Darian: wait what? Why?
Ario: she doesn't mean that
December: (bites Ario's hand) you're so irresponsible. You had me threatened you to see a doctor. I don't think you're ready for a baby. I'm sorry. I'm going to deny you your child, but I'm also not going to raise it with you unless you can prove to me you're ready.
Darian: basically you're breaking up with me?
Grace: (raises a brow) whoa whoa whoa, what's going on?
Darian: December is pregnant with my baby
Grace: ooo, mamá gonna be piss
Darian: for what December clearly doesn't want me in their life
Grace: she said until you can prove you're ready
Darian: Grace I'm 18 I'm not ready to prove anything to anybody. December's right I'm irresponsible
Grace: you're still young and simple minded (pats Darian's back)
Darian: aye
December: I said what I said. If he doesn't wanna prove that he can be an adult, I won't make him. (Sits down)
Ario: but at the end of the day, he's still the father.
December: (gets up and rolls eyes) you don't know that (walks away)
Darian: I can't believe her, she wants me to prove myself for a baby that might not be mines (starts wheezing)
Grace: calm down Jesus (rubs his back)
Darian: stop it (moves away)
Grace: take the medication the doctor gave you
Darian: (gets up)
Grace: where you going?
Darian: the doctor (leaves)
Ario: did he just accuse my sister of cheating? And what the fuck is he about to do?
Grace: well you're sister implied that it may not be his baby. But don't worry he's not gonna do what we both think, he's to hurt to do it.
