The Shattered Wine Glass

Ethan: Get away from my wife right now, Chloe!

Chloe: Ethan, you don't understand! She threw her glass at me first!

Ethan: Don't touch her! Move back against that wall!

Ethan dropped down on both knees next to Maya, wrapping his arms around her upper body to support her back.

Ethan: Maya, honey, talk to me. Are you hurt? Where does it hurt?

Maya: Ethan... my stomach... she pushed me so hard...[cite: 1]

Ethan: I know, baby, I'm right here. Keep breathing softly for me. Just keep breathing.

Chloe: Ethan, listen to me! I was just coming down the hallway to check on the catering!

Ethan: Shut your mouth, Chloe! Don't say another word!

Chloe: She slipped on her own wine! I tried to catch her arm when she stumbled!

Maya: She's lying, Ethan... she raised her heel right over the baby...

Ethan: I know she's lying. I saw her feet move right as I opened the doors.

The double doors clicked open again, and two mansion security guards ran down the hallway toward the broken glass[cite: 1].

Guard Thomas: Mr. Vance! We heard glass smashing from the security desk!

Ethan: Thomas, detain my sister right now! Do not let her leave this hallway!

Chloe: Detain me?! Thomas, you work for my family's estate fund! You can't put your hands on me!

Guard Thomas: Ma'am, please step away from Mrs. Vance immediately.

Chloe: My father pays your salary! Ethan, tell him to let go of my arm!

Ethan: My father died six months ago, Chloe. I run the estate trust now, not you.

Maya: Ethan... the pain is getting worse... please hurry...

Ethan: Thomas, tell the front gate to open for the ambulance! Where are the paramedics?!

Guard Thomas: They just pulled into the driveway, sir! They are walking through the main lobby right now!

Chloe: Ethan, you are ruining our family gala over a misunderstanding!

Ethan: Misunderstanding? You raised your heel over a pregnant woman's stomach!

Chloe: I lost my balance! I was reaching down to help her off the floor!

Ethan: We have high-definition audio and video on these ceilings, Chloe. You spoke directly to her.

Chloe: The audio isn't hooked up to those ceiling domes!

Ethan: I updated the whole home security network last week after the break-in attempt. Every word was recorded.

Chloe stopped struggling against the security guard's grip, her breathing turning shallow as panic set in.

Maya: Ethan... the baby is moving... I can feel a kick...

Ethan: That's good, sweetie. That's so good. Hold on just a few more seconds.

Two Dallas emergency medical technicians rushed down the corridor carrying a orange backboard and trauma bags.

Paramedic Dan: Sir, step back slightly so we can assess her.

Ethan: She was pushed backward onto the hard floor[cite: 1]. She is seven months pregnant with twins.

Paramedic Dan: Ma'am, can you tell me your name?

Maya: Maya... Maya Vance...

Paramedic Dan: Okay, Maya, keep your head still. My partner is going to check your pulse and blood pressure.

Chloe: See? She's speaking fine! She isn't even injured! This is a setup to embarrass me!

Ethan: Take her out to the holding room near the garage, Thomas. Keep her there until the police arrive.

Chloe: You wouldn't dare call the Dallas police on your own sister!

Ethan: Watch me.
