"Maybe you weren't, but it certainly felt this way, and you ignored everything I said, so I'm not sure how you could want to understand. You asked me if they asked for special treatment, and I told you that they received it regardless. You made it sound like we ask who knows what from a doctor, who's not even a real doctor since she cut up dead people, when we asked the same exact thing from April. She was ridiculed for her science like me for my religion, seriously? First it sounds like she said that. Second, there are plenty of women who are doctors. If she was ridiculed, it's because she likes to talk like an encyclopedia and make people ask for explanation, but you know what? People don't like to feel stupid, so I can't really blame them for making fun of her.
"I liked her like I like everyone else. I talk, I interact, I don't let things bother me, except that we kept talking, and I realized that I don't like her. She's mean, arrogant, presumptuous." She snorted. "I can't believe she expected me to trust her as a doctor when I have to research half of what she says and ignore the other half. She's the doctor, I see her, but trust her? What has she done for me to trust her? She's just like the family she married into, except that Bud and Elaine care enough to fake it. Don't think I don't know that they are acting, but at least they pretend that they don't think you're an idiot.
"And Jenna? We lost her too. You remember that, right?" she said, barely refraining from crying, because she wouldn't give him the satisfaction. "She's dead and you're talking about how she didn't do the right thing for Douglas. Those two-" She shook her head. "She did what she was supposed to do when it was someone who mattered, someone we could trust, someone who's stuck by us since we got here, not someone who left as soon as they had the chance. I don't care how their lives where, what their parents said or did. I'm not going to listen anyone, you included badmouth her to defend those two. I don't get it, Marty. Why would you even do that? What have they done that makes you go to bat for them against your own family? And maybe that's why I'm so fixated on this. It's not them. I don't care if they live or die, and I'd be very happy if they decided to stay here, but in the end, I don't care enough about them. It's you. I don't understand you and why you'd even say all of those things, making it sound like they are so great and disparaging people that mean something to me in the process. You've stepped on two years of friendships and relationships and basic tenants of how things run to defend them, and I really don't understand why I and people I care about mean less than three total strangers."
Savannah wiped her face off. So much for not crying. "No, there really aren't any options this time around. We can't go to a hospital. We can't reach out to April. There are no doctors. If something goes wrong, then no amount of trust is going to give people the medical knowledge. The only person I'd trust for this is not here. Would I like for us to find Sam before I give birth? Sure, but that's not planning. That's dreaming."
