[bunniefuu]

I love you. I love you so much!

That's it, go ahead.

That's it.

That's it, love. That's it.

You'll make it. You're doing very well.

You're doing very well.

Breathe, breathe, breathe.

Our Little Star, our Little St-

Sit down for a while.

I'm here, I'm here, I'm here!

Go on, breathe.

I'll always be here!

Breathe.

I'm going to take good care of you.

That's right, Valentina. Go on!

She's coming, she's coming.

Here, look. I can feel it. She's coming!

She's coming!

EPISODE 07: ESTRELA

Mom, you have to wash your hands.
Ah!

Mom already washed them, my love.

Your little sister is beautiful, isn't she?

She is beautiful!

She's beautiful, our Little Star.

Our Little Star.

Congratulations. Congratulations.

Estrela is is beautiful, right?

She has a trait of your family.

No. Wait a minute, Roger.
The child has just been born.

You can't even see yet.

Oh, Luiza! Stop it.
She is very cute indeed.

Awe! My God!

Speaking of which...

will I ever get the chance to be a
godmother to any child in this house?

Because, you know... it's like
we already have a nursery here.

And Aunt Carol?
So far... nothing. Right?

So, Carol, um...

actually, I'm quite embarrassed
to tell you this, but...

Valentina had already promised
a childhood friend of hers.

Va... Valentina, she didn't-

Luiza, this child has just been born!
I know...

Honey, she's joking with you.

Really? Are you sure?

What an idiot!

Of course, you're going
to be the godmother, right?

You don't come with a kiss either!
Get out of here!

She was born chubby.

Just like you when you
were a child, daughter.

She's almost 7.7 pounds and 15.75 inches.

Wow, honey.
But how did the birth go?

I didn't think I could take it.

Hmm...

But now it's 100%, right?

I'm ready for the next one, Tico.

Seeing you like this, confident,
my daughter, makes me so proud.

You are capable of
anything in this life, Valentina.

I am so proud of you, my daughter.

Very proud.

Now will you let this grandmother
here have this beautiful granddaughter?

Oh, my God in heaven.

Look how beautiful!

So beautiful.

It's our little Estrela.

Did you see the gift I
got from Santa Claus?

I didn't see it. What was it?

A little sister!
A little sister?

Her name is Estrela.

Estrela? Wow, what a creative name!

Who gave her that name?
I love that... that name.

Did you like it too?
I love it!

Who chose that name?
It was me!

You?
I can't believe it!

My friend is very nice.
He's creative, isn't he?

Wow! You're really creative, aren't you?

You took after your godmother, I'm sure!

Which godmother?

Me!

But you're Luiza's son, aren't you?

You forgot that I'm your godmother!

Peixoto, tell him I'm the godmother!

She's your godmother, man. Are you crazy?

Did you forget that?
What's wrong with you, man?

And my little brother?

Your little brother is just sitting there.
Enjoying the fresh air, you know?

We enjoy it for him. He's there, soft.

I've run out of water.

Do those chocolate cookies taste good?
You have dirty mouths!

Making a mess, huh?

Do you want one, Mom?
No!

So, did the little one fall asleep?

Yes, he's asleep now.

Look what I've brought for us.

Hmm, our wedding album?
How beautiful!

Wow, we seemed so...

Radiant.

It was the happiest day of our lives.

Was I happy?

Very!

Why am I alone in this picture, Valentina?

I can't believe it!
You worked on our wedding?

Of course!

Or did you think you were
going to marry a photographer

and that I wouldn't take a
photo of the most beautiful bride

on the happiest day of my life?

I took a lot of photos!

But my favorite... It's this one!

But from here, you can see on
my face that I was angry with you.

Yes, you were. You were indeed.

Then there was a little argument and
you didn't want me to work anymore...

But look at that face. You're so
beautiful when you look like that...

Bravo!

I already know that phrase by heart.

Wow, it was really special.

I miss living that.

Igor, my son.

It's a good thing your business is
law and cooking, because gardening...

My God!
Not good at all.

You can't be wonderful at
everything either, can you?

There's no way.

"Oh, wonderful in every way."

Yes, Valentina, tell me...

And your surprise for Luiza?
Will it happen or is it fanfic?

Ah... Wait and see!

In fact, I had asked you two to do a little
business for me. Have you already done so?

For me, it was very difficult.

I felt very guilty about not
having that connection with Léo.

Ah, but you had a gap.
Didn't you, friend?

A huge gap.

What I had less of was
space with Francisco.

I feel so guilty for having
this feeling, you know?

But girls, don't be so hard on yourselves.

There are already so many
people out there judging us

on how we exercise our
motherhood, aren't there?

If it's hard enough for us...
imagine in your time, right?

Yes.

Yes, it was easier with
Igor, but with Valentina...

I ended up reproducing what they
said was "watch out for the girls".

But in reality, they
were acts of repression.

Wow, we really need to be very attentive.
Very attentive.

Ah, but I'm not going to let my
granddaughters go through that.

Amen!

Amen!

Wow! I'm exhausted, you know?

The day was good, but it was so tiring.

My back is k*lling me.

So, get ready because tonight I'm
going to give you a very special massage.

Is this good?
Uh-huh!

Right there!

Softer or harder?

Anyway you want.

Are you getting it right?

Look at the breakfast we've brought you.

That Estrela, mom, and I made!

And with lots of love. Right, little guy?

What a beautiful thing, people!

Let me try it. I'll try it, huh!

Wow!

What a delight!

Well, while you're enjoying your breakfast,

I'm going to get this little
guy here ready for school...

And can you stay with Estrela today?

I wanted to drop by the studio.

Of course. Yes, I will. But...

Have you resumed your schedule, Valentina?

Already. But it's quick!

It's OK.
It's OK?

Come on, little guy!
Uh-huh!

Turn around, turn around!

Say "bye" and blow a kiss to mom!

"Kiss, beautiful, wonderful mom!"

Love you!

What's up, Tech?
Hey there.

Look who I found outside buying coffee.

Manu!
I can't believe it!

Ahh!

I miss you, friend!
Sit here and tell me everything!

Oh, it's been so long!

How are you? How's the family?

Well, we're getting by.
Everyone's good. Right, Tico?

Good! Good!

What about you? Are you okay?
I'm good. Everything's going smoothly.

Hey! Do you remember Luiza?

From college, of course!
Yeah, that's the one.

Look here... they both got married, right?
Bullshit! Really?

Oh, friend, just like
you used to say, right?

That you were going to marry her.

Of course, I keep my promises, right?
That's the type she is!

Here, actually, let me show you...

As well as being married,
we have a very beautiful family.

No!

This is Léo and this is Estrelinha!

What perfection!

I want to know everything.
Can you update me?

How many years...
Do you have time? Let's get started...

Hmm... Catering?
Igor already said okay.

Um, guest list?

Carolina is just waiting for
a few confirmations to close.

Great! Sound and lighting?

Marcos managed to close the deal yesterday.

Perfect.
Now, photos and filming?

Hm...

Valentina! She's insisting on
taking the lead with her team.

Gosh, how is she going to manage that?

Duda, I don't know.

But if she says she
can do it, I believe her.

What a change!

Look, I actually wanted to
thank you for calling me to help.

And another thing, huh?

It's all good.
It's great that you're here

helping us produce this special event!

It just had to be you!

Janinha, when you retire,
you're going to be my assistant!

You're doing well, I like it.
Eh!

Just so I can boss you around!

Look, I like it. I like it, hit me!

You're cheating.
You're the one cheating!

How do you know?

No, that doesn't count.
Let's start over!

That's why, little guy...
More than you in the racing game!

That's why, little guy...

it's as important to know how to
lose as it is to know how to win.

Look, you two...

what's this mess?

I've just put Estrelinha to sleep.
She'll wake up to that noise!

He who doesn't know how to lose.

You don't know how to lose!

Ah!

Hey, hey, hey!
Next, a message for both of you now...

Ten minutes and bed!

Oh, what a drag!
What a pain!

Leonardo!
Valentina!

Ten minutes!

I won!
No, I did!

I won! Shush!
I won!

Léo and Estrelinha are already asleep.

Blessed afternoon nap!

Hmm...

A kiss for your thoughts!

Do you know what I was thinking?
Hmm...

I wanted to set up a social
project focused on art, you know?

With dance classes, poetry, music...

I thought about photography too!
For people who can't afford it.

You never change, Luiza.
What do you mean?

Well?
You've always had this dream. It's not new.

We even have it ready,
written all down on paper.

What?
Why didn't we move forward?

Ah, adulthood, work was increasing,

and we moved on to other priorities.

But there's nothing
stopping us from doing it now.

Shall we dance in the rain?

What do you mean, Valentina?

"Dancing in the Rain", that's
the name of your project.

Really?
Yep.

And why that name?

So, this happened a long time ago.

There was a day when
it was raining like hell...

Oh, I love this about us!

I love dancing in the rain with you!

We're going to catch the flu, Valentina!

If there's anyone who's
going to catch something here,

I'm the one who's going to catch you!

Oh, really? Hmm...
You're so hot!

I want to ask you something.

Me too.

So do it first!

No, let's do it together.

But first, close your eyes.
Don't open them!

Yes!

One, two, three!

Luiza, Luiza!

What is it?

Do you want to dance in the rain?

Will you marry me, Valentina?
