Malorie realizes that there never was a Frank and that Gary had been lying to them all from the beginning. Soon, she and Olympia hear screams from below then Gary enters the attic. Terrified, she shouts for them, but they do not tell her what is going on below. While Malorie gives birth, she hears Don and the others fighting below. Tom and the others scramble to help the women deliver their babies in the attic, the safest room in the house. On a stormy night, the 2 women enter labor at the same time. When Malorie brings this evidence to the group, the others vote Gary out of the house over Don's protestations. Suspicious of Gary, Malorie sneaks into his room and finds Frank's notebook, the book in which he wrote of his beliefs. Slowly, a divide forms in the group between Don and Gary and the others. As time passes and the women near their ninth month, Gary begins to convince Don of Frank's logic. He tells the group of how a crazy man named Frank in his old house pulled the blinds down because he believed the creatures could not affect him. After a vote in which Malorie broke the split, they allow Gary into the home. Since the house is full, the group debates whether to allow Gary into the home. Soon after, another, equally pregnant woman named Olympia arrives at the house and after her, a man named Gary knocks on the door. The housemates accept Malorie into their home. There, she meets Tom, Jules, Cheryl, Don, and Felix who live in the house. Distraught, the pregnant Malorie answers an old advertisement in the newspaper about a safe place. 3 months after the outbreak, Shannon kills herself in the bathroom after accidentally seeing a creature. With this discovery, people lock themselves in their houses and blindfold their eyes when they must go outside. Soon, people identify that the way that creatures affect humans is through sight. As these incidents spread, the sisters cloister themselves in their apartment in the hope of surviving the end of the world. Alongside this discovery, a wave of news reports comes about strange occurrences of murder-suicides. She and her sister Shannon find out that Malorie, in her early 20's, is pregnant. Josh Malerman's novel "Bird Box" begins with Malorie inspecting her stomach.
