MELODY
I’m scared.
TONY
Hey. Do you want me to call?
MELODY
…
No. I need to get to sleep.
TONY
I’ve been told I have a soothing voice.
MELODY

…
TONY
What are you scared about?
The ultrasound?
MELODY
Yeah.
What if they find something wrong?
TONY
If they do, you call me immediately and we talk about it. With whoever’s there with you.
That’s what speaker phone’s for.
MELODY
I don’t flip out like this.
TONY
…
I’m glad you texted me. I’d rather be there with you. So much.
I’m sorry I can’t be there for you.
MELODY
Ana’s going with me.
TONY
Good. You should have someone there with you.
Everything will be okay.
Whatever happens, good or bad, we’ll figure it out.
MELODY
Thank you.
TONY
If they offer the glam shots, get them. We’re going all out for this kid.
MELODY
TONY
Believe me, if they offer a glam shot and my mother finds out we didn’t get it, I’ll never stop hearing about it.
MELODY
Good night.
TONY
