Melanie Nicholls-King: Amelia

Quotes 

• Sarah Manning : What's going on?

  Mrs. S : Sarah, this is Amelia.

  Sarah Manning : Hi.

  Amelia : Look at you. Sarah. I'm your birth mother.

• Amelia : I was only 22, in a new country. A wealthy couple asked me to be their in-vitro surrogate. They paid me, provided a flat in London, a legal arrangement. But something was off. The medical tests were excessive... and I overheard the couple talking with the doctors, about a child unfettered by tradition, an advanced evolution, of some kind.

  Sarah Manning : Neolution?

  Amelia : Yeah. But they weren't a couple at all. They were scientists. The child I carried wasn't meant for them. I realized the life inside of me was in danger, so I ran, I hid, and gave birth to the two of you in secret.

  Sarah Manning : The two of us?

  Amelia : Yes, I had twins. I knew I couldn't keep you, so I hid you away. One to the state and one to the church.

  Sarah Manning : Helena.
