[bunniefuu]

Is that the look of shame?

[scoffs]

I shouldn't have done that.

But you did.

I know what that kiss was.

Oh. Oh, here we go.

Please don't hold back, Dani.

Please, expound on
the meaning of the kiss.

Standard macho ownership.

What was yours stays yours.

Oh. Well, I didn't
hear any objections.

Old habits.
But I'm changing those

with the assistance of
my new husband,

and we are having the most
wonderful time doing it.

What's up, Celine?

On your way to another late
night out at a Paris soiree?

You what now?

Yeah, send the link.

Wow. Uh, yeah, that happened.

I guess the Duprees'
superpowers of persuasion

got lost in translation.

Uh, yeah, we decided to
go public international,

despite their efforts
to keep things quiet.

Oh, no, no, you're heading out.

It's okay.
I don't want to keep you.

Mm-hmm. Au revoir.

Hey.

I was hoping the rumors
were a fever dream,

but here you are.

Still.

Hello to you too, Naomi.

-Your mom's not here, but, um--
-Good.

Then there won't be
any witnesses

to see what's about to happen.

♪ ♪

I'm not sure
how I can help, Jacob.

Like I said, Doug left
his position here a while ago.

Tell me more about that.

Well, a simple resignation
of his own volition.

Top cardiac surgeon
just steps down

from a position
he's held for years?

Yeah, I'm not privy to the
official story, I just know--

Look, you were more
than just a colleague, Ted.

You and Doug
were lifetime friends.

Yeah, since med school.

Look, I just want
to do right by him.

I don't know
what happened at the end.

Hell, I don't even know
if you two

were even still tight anymore.

I'm just looking for answers.

Doug's not here
to defend himself.

I don't want
to speak out of turn.

What you tell me
will stay between us.

I just need to understand
how it all happened.

They said it was a DUI.

You saying there's more to it?

There's nothing to indicate
that at this present time.

Interesting choice of words.

JOEY:
Joey Armstrong.

Donnell McBride.

Doug's son, of course.

Oh, what a difficult time
to lose your father

in such an unexpected
and devastating way.

I can't imagine
what you're going through,

But you believe
that I'm responsible

for your father's death.
Exactly how?

Online, they said
my father's blood alcohol

was twice the legal limit.

On a level like that,
someone had to have

noticed how out of it he was.

Staggering, slurring.

But someone
kept serving my father

and didn't take
any responsibility.

Well, just a minute.

You're the owner of this place.

Your employee was reckless
and overserved my father.

My family's filing a wrongful

death suit against you,
the bartender

and the whole casino,

and we're not stopping
until we shut you guys down.

It's nothing official.
Wife of the victim

is asking questions,
and I don't want

to put anything to bed until
I've done my due diligence,

nothing more.

Mm.

So, Doug left his position here?

Well, he wasn't fired,

but there had been
some incidents,

erratic behavior.

Uh, but to be clear,

no patients were harmed.

Was he drinking on the job?

I never saw any signs of that.

Surgeons are under an
inordinate amount of pressure.

Lives on the line. I get it.

Every second.

Was there trouble at home?

Not that he mentioned to me.

Interesting choice of words.

[scoffs]

They had an unusual marriage.

Uh, unusually...

open.

Vanessa, oh, my heart's
been breaking since I heard.

Mine, too.

He was such a good man,

and the way he loved you
and the kids.

Thank you for the text.

I meant every word.

He meant so much to all of us
and gave surgeons a good name.

How are you holding up?

Not.

I keep waiting
for someone to tell me...

Planning a service for him,
it just... it doesn't feel real.

I'm sorry, Shanice.

I've become one of those
horrible people who overshares.

No, no, you're a widow now.

If you need a hand
to hold at the service--

Actually...
I know it's last minute,

but if you could
say a few words...

I'd be glad to.

Truly honored.

I'm actually surprised you asked

after I ran my big old mouth
the way I did.

What do you mean?

Just telling Donnell his father

wasn't working here anymore.

Doug and I should have told
the twins long ago, but...

he wanted
to explain the situation

to Donnell and Deanna the next
time they both came home,

and I was hoping he would
get bored with early retirement

and go back to work and
wouldn't have to bring it up.

Well, I hope Donnell
wasn't too upset.

There's so much I don't know
how to explain to my son.

You're supposed to have
policies put in place

where you cut people off.

-We do.
-You just didn't enforce them?

If I had been
on the floor that night,

things would have
turned out differently.

I've had a strong
conversation with my staff

and we're changing
protocols across the board.

But...

someone should have
arranged for a car

to take your father home.

Is that what you plan on
saying on the stand?

Well, if there was such
a thing as legal liability

in this state for bartenders
who overserve their customers.

But there is no such law.

-That you're aware of.
-No, you should

talk to a lawyer. That's a fact.

So no one pays for
what happened to my father?

He was intoxicated and alone.

And no one helped him.

Sometimes, when there's
no legal road to closure,

justice can be found
off the beaten path.

Which means...

That dumb
son of a b*tch bartender,

the one who served Dr. McBride.

I can have him here
in five minutes.

To do what?

Well, that's up to you.

You were his son.

And you won't ever see him again
thanks to that dumb bartender.

I'll get him here.

Just to talk.

[door closes]

I don't like that smile.

I'm just enjoying this
so very much.

Oh, the kiss?

How crazy it's making you
that I am with someone

who's better for me
in every possible way.

[scoffs]

Well, maybe
a picture-taking playboy

is better than nothing,

but he's light years away
from "better for you."

You know, the light
from "better" won't even touch

that man until he
reaches his full height.

And Dani, he doesn't
even know you, okay?

He can't possibly know you.

And then, for him
to lure you away

while our daughter was
in the middle of a crisis?

-Come on.
-The night I went to Vegas,

we were both supposed
to have dinner with Chelsea.

You told me
that we were spending

too much time together,
so I backed off.

That was your doing, Bill.

And that's why you eloped, hmm?

To get back at me,
to prove a point? [scoffs]

No, no, please,
don't stop there.

I'm just dying to hear
how me marrying someone

who loves me is all about you.

Oh.

I thought you'd never ask.

You're absolutely right.
The whole wedding

was my bright idea.

In reaction
to Ashley's engagement.

-Ashley isn't--
-You wanted

to show her that you
never needed her, right?

Never even crossed my mind.

I know there was something
going on between you two.

For a minute,
but then she got cold feet

and went back to the fireman.

-Got engaged.
-Mm.

Yeah, that must have been
a big blow to your ego.

I wish them
nothing but the best.

And what's best is Derek.

Are you asking my opinion
or giving it to me?

I think that's
Ashley's decision to make.

How I feel about the matter
shouldn't matter.

Exactly. Agreed.

-Yeah.
-You were on the rebound...

-Hey, wait a minute--
-...and when you
felt like you lost,

you went to the next best thing.

Dani Dupree Hamilton Richardson

isn't anybody's second option.

She's the main character,
number one, no equal.

Well, of course I concur.
My mother's a wonderful woman.

No one like her.

And for a long time,
she wasn't feeling the whole

return back to
a long-term commitment thing.

So, what changed?

I don't know, I'm having
too much fun to dissect it.

Listen, I know how it must look
like looking from the outside--

Okay, Ashley is my best friend,

and your... wife is my mother.

Hayley was my best friend,
and her husband is my father.

Are you seeing
the parallels here?

Is my relationship with
my mother about to explode,

or do I need
to find a new best friend?

You need
to tell her about Ashley.

Dani already knows.

She knows about you and Ashley

and this unrequited,
insane waste of time?

Well, I wouldn't categorize it
like that, but yeah,

Dani knows it all,

including the part
about it being over.

I have nothing to hide, Naomi.
I'm not your dad.

And Dani's been
real clear about why

that is a plus.

You sure I can't
offer you anything?

No, no, please, dive in.

I can tell from
all your preening, posturing

and parading that you've been
preparing for this moment.

Why would you ever
imagine such a thing?

Because I know you.

Mm. Well, I know you, too,

Dani Dupree
Hamilton... whatever.

And we both know
this well-groomed homunculus

isn't worthy of
a fully actualized creation

such as yourself.

Careful, that's my husband.
What's that saying,

beware the man who will
cut you off at the knees

so he appears to be king?

Come on, please.

I've been head and shoulders
above the crowd

since I could walk.

Let's talk about
what the real problem is, hmm?

You flew out to Vegas
as an emotional reaction

to the things
I said to you that day.

My marriage has absolutely
nothing to do with you.

Dani, would it
k*ll you to be quiet

long enough for me to apologize?

[scoffs] I'd have
to give you the Heimlich

to keep you from
choking on the words.

Apologize for what?

For being too--

Oh, no, no. No, no, no, no, no.
You have to start

at the beginning. "Dearest Dani,

I humbly beg
your forgiveness..."

Yeah, that's the
"in your dreams" version, okay?

Look, here's the real deal.

I'm sorry for being so...
harsh with you.

I see the error of my ways.

Yeah, when Chelsea was gone,
it was us against the world.

You know? You and me.

Had everybody ready
to step up and help, but...

...all I wanted was you.

And you were the only one
who understood, the only one

who could speak for us
when my words fell flat.

My own secret superpower
in the storm.

And you're mine.

Were.

I finally felt like
I could trust you.

Let you see me at my...

less than best.

And then you shut me out?

Knife to my heart.

Sticks and stones,
yeah, they're dangerous,

but words, Bill?

I... I didn't want
any misunderstandings.

I still love my wife.

I had to make that clear.

Because your wife told you to.

I could have been kinder, yeah.

Maybe then you wouldn't
have spun out of control

and grabbed that child
to help you make things stop.

Look, you were searching
for stability and you failed.

It happens.

Yeah, Andre is young.

In all the most
wonderful, toe-curling ways.

But make no mistake,
he is every inch a man.

Oh, here we go,
the diatribe of how

illuminating the sex has been.

You know, it's a good thing
I didn't know

what I was missing
when we were married.

You never gave me
what I deserved.

And when you get less,
you start to take less.

And think you're worth less.

-Save it for your memoir.
-Andre

has shown me that I have
boundless appetites,

worlds within me
that I never knew existed,

that you never bothered
to explore.

Yeah, your girl
likes a bit of adventure.

And I have never felt this...

impulsive and-and fearless,

not since I was Dani Dupree.

I missed her.

I like her.

I like her, too.

You don't know this version.

This version has claws
because of you.

Andre doesn't mind.

We work around them.

Well...

...he might know you now...

...but I loved you then.

And I understand you still.

-Then why are you so threatened?
-I'm not.

Because nothing will
ever replace us, Dani.

I mean, when you've been
with someone who knows you,

who helped build
your walls and remembers

all those untapped universes

deep inside you,

all those dreams just
waiting to come true--

Do not...

...do not do this.

I became invisible to you
years ago.

Why wouldn't I want
what Andre is offering me?

Freedom to be myself?

To be fully seen, to be loved?

Why wouldn't
I want a lifetime of that?

Vanessa.

How are you?

Hanging in.

Donnell came home
sooner than expected.

Dr. McBride would be happy
you have each other to lean on.

I haven't seen Donnell
in a long time.

Yeah, you-you'll have a chance
to catch up with him

after the memorial. I...

He's taking
some time off from school.

May I take you to my office?

Thank you.

While I've got you, Shanice,

I was wondering,
did Dr. McBride ever talk about

his personal life much?

He raved about the twins,

tennis at the club,
vacations, but not much else.

Okay. I also wanted
to check in about Derek.

My patient?

Now, you know
I can't discuss his care.

Ah, probably why
he felt safe letting you know

he's getting feeling
back in his legs.

Huh.

And you didn't have
to say a word.

Two weeks from now--
no, two years--

Ashley becomes available.

Why?

-Hypothetical.
-Hmm.

What's the hypothetical reason
Derek's disappeared?

'Cause here's the thing.
It'd take an act from God

for her to leave that dude.

You asked?

A guy knows.

But what if?

Look, I'm not gonna
break Dani's heart, okay?

It's never happening.

Despite your international
man of mystery reputation?

Because Dani's never let me
get in that far to begin with.

And that's not to say that
we don't understand each other,

but here's the thing
that sets Dani apart.

She's good
with or without a man.

Okay, then why would she elope?

Look, looking at it
from the outside in,

I know that it might
seem reckless, but trust me.

Emotionally, Dani is guarded
and she's careful.

She still is your mom, Naomi.
You and Chelsea.

You guys are still number one.

Well, obviously,
you rank high enough for my mom

to be less than cautious
with her feelings.

I'm not the one you should
be worried about, Naomi.

Your dad, he waltzes
in and out of her life

like he still owns the place.

That's who you need
to be worried about.

Look, I do not begrudge you
the happiness

that you've managed to find
with your seat filler.

-You did not.
-Come on, Dani. I got

a protective streak a mile long.
You used to love that about me.

I have the same streak,
and I know how to use my words.

You just can't hear the truth

when it comes
to wife number two.

Your truth.

Heard it. Ignoring it.

You might want to rethink that.

Seriously, I was always open
to adopting another child.

You didn't have to marry one.

[chuckles]

Jealousy, thy name
is first wife.

She's got nothing
I need to envy.

Wore the ring, had the children,

gave you the ride of your life

before she was
in her training bra.

There is absolutely nothing
in the world that woman could do

that I haven't already done
better.

-Damn.
-I'm not finished.

I had your back after the
stroke, and nothing's changed.

I am still speaking the truth.

That woman played us, Bill.

You, me, and Naomi.

You may have
a blind spot for her,

but that doesn't mean
I have to close my eyes.

Hey, look, okay.

Hayley is young
and might be a little insecure.

Or is she pretending to be

because she knows
how protective you are,

how far you'll go
to make her happy?

Don't be fooled, Bill.

She's weaponizing
that sweetness.

[sighs]

You're reading her wrong.

You've seen it.

You've clocked it.

She has this fascinating way

of being so junior
and uncultured

while being
so fantastically busy.

She's like
this beautiful black swan,

just gliding on the surface,

so serene and distracting.

But what you don't see
right under the surface--

those little flippers,

paddling so fast,

working so hard,

doing the most to make it seem

like she is doing
nothing at all.

You really are threatened
by her, aren't you?

I should be happy.

I have a front row seat
and popcorn,

watching D.C.'s own
puppet master

blinded by love.

But all it does
is break my heart.

You wanted to speak to the man

who last served
your father alcohol?

There he is.

You're the bartender?

I'm a dealer.

Say that again
so we know we heard you right.

You overserved my father

when you should've turned away.
What the hell were you thinking?

I didn't think
he was that drunk.

What the--

What is it? What's wrong?

That's my father's watch.

That's my father's watch.

-You're sure about that?
-I'd know it anywhere.

He never took it off.

You got something to say?

The watch?

What about it?

It's mine.

JOEY:
Well, then you wouldn't mind
taking it off

so we can be sure.

"Love, V."

My mother gave this
to my father.

Well, I'm sure
there's a logical explanation.

What, you got answers?

How'd you get the watch?

I didn't steal it.

The guy lost it in a poker game.

What was I supposed to do?

Have some compassion,
for starters.

This is a casino,
not a slaughterhouse.

The man was our guest.

What happened to him
was a tragedy.

Look, I'm sorry it happened,

but fair is fair.

You're fired.

There's the door.

[sighs]

I had no idea.

That watch.

That one of my employees
was enabling.

You have every right
to be angry.

I'm okay.

[sniffles]

Losing a father at any age--

devastating.

Well, thank you.

For bringing that guy in.

Thought I was gonna want
to tear him apart,

take from him
what he took from me.

But you didn't.

Most sons in your situation--

Going off on him
would've disappointed my father.

You know, he always said,

"Anyone can lose their temper.

Real strength is when
you know when not to."

Sounds like a good man.

Damn few left.

Your father was
a famous cardiac surgeon?

He was everything to me.

I'd love to hear more about him.

I guess I have a minute.

[chuckles softly]

I've been meaning to drop
that box off at your place.

Just some things
Doug left behind.

Thank you
for holding on to them.

We were friends a long time.

But, lately...

I just wish I'd paid...

closer attention.

Me, too.

I keep replaying
conversations...

...phone calls, things I could
have said so he'd still be here.

Don't do that to yourself.

Trust me,

guilt is a horrible place
to live.

Rent's too high and...

neighbors are awful.

Go easy on yourself.

[sniffles]

You're still here?

I've got one more question.

You know
I can't discuss specifics

about Derek's medical status.

But I've never told
a patient to lie

about the progress
they're making or not making.

Yeah, you don't strike me
as the type.

But you do always seem
to know everything

that's going on here
at Garland, am I right?

Derek found out today
about Andre eloping

with your mother-in-law.

Interesting.

Well, do you think
learning something like that

might change his perspective
on telling Ashley the truth?

Anything's possible.

I know better than you do

the mind games
my dad plays with my mom. Okay?

And if I thought
she was genuinely moving past it

and trying to have
something healthy with you,

that'd be one thing.

But to me, it sounds like she's
rebounding as hard as you are.

Now, you may not know this,

but the night
you and my mom went to Vegas...

Oh, I do know.

Dani told me
everything Bill said,

including her reaction.

Oh, so did that feel
like an opportunity for you?

Naomi, it's not like that.

Me and your mom,
we're real with each other.

We don't pretend that what
we have is more than what it is.

And that's what makes it great.
It's a mature relationship.

-Well, in that case,
the mature, realistic thing...
-Mm-hmm.

...would be to sign a postnup.

[scoffs]

That's fine.

Draw it up. I'll sign it.

Hopefully that will convince you

that I'm really looking out
for her best interests.

-Well, then, another thing...
-No.

That's enough.

I'm through
defending my marriage.

If you Duprees want to gather
at the country club

and sit in judgment
and stare down on people,

that's fine.

Do it.

I married a woman who makes life

feel like the good part
of the movie.

Can a brother be happy
for a minute?

Say something good
about the occasion.

-Damn!
-Okay.

Well, forgive me
for caring about my mother.

It's no shock

that a lawyer would want to
cross-examine everything here.

Look, I care about Dani, too.

And just because we didn't do it
like you would have

doesn't mean that it...

doesn't mean that it's not real.

And Dani makes me laugh.

[chuckles]

Then, by all means,
do not sit next to her

at a special occasion.

-Mm.
-Wedding, funeral,

graduation, fashion show.

Yeah.

Why? What'd she do?

There was this one time

my grandparents were sitting
on either side of her,

nudging her to shut up 'cause
she couldn't stop laughing.

The most horrible woman
in Fairmont Crest walked in,

and her wig was just a little...

-a little askew.
-[chuckles]

And... [chuckles]
No, laughing,

laughing was wrong.
It was wrong.

And my mom did go up to her,
whispered to her

to straighten it out.
But... [chuckles] my gosh.

See? You're still laughing.

That's what Dani gives me
every day.

And I hope I give it right back.

One thing I know for sure

is life is gonna life.

And so you'd better celebrate
the good parts.

There's no telling when
they're gonna come back again.

When I...

When I brought up the postnup,

I wasn't thinking about...

-Yeah.
-I'm sorry, Andre.

Yeah.

I made my money
the old-fashioned way.

I inherited my fortune,
unfortunately.

Yeah, lived on my own
for a few years,

worked, made more money.

So I'm self-sufficient.

I already had a name for myself.

But this is just so wrong.

That's because you're hung up on
what it's supposed to look like.

Sometimes you just got
to let it be.

You know what happens
when you put

two like-minded people together

who are creative
and connected and unafraid?

[scoffs]
No.

Neither do I.

But me and Dani are
gonna have fun finding it out.

-I'm a super skeptic.
-Yeah.

You'll either do right
by my mom or you won't.

And in that case

you'll have to deal with me.

And I-I think you should know

I inherited
my parents' worst qualities.

-I'm vindictive...
-Mm-hmm.

-...ruthless, and ferocious.
-[sighs]

Understood?

Yeah.

Good.

Welcome to the family.

Thanks.

[chuckles]

-Let's call a truce.
-Ha.

You wouldn't know how.

You might be right.

Why call a truce when there are
so many wonderful places

to bury the hatchet?

-Hmm.
-Let's do this.

I will zip my lip
about your marriage,

and you can do the same for me.

You really intend
to stay married to him?

I do.

It's a mistake.

Lots of foul-ups
going around these days.

Who knows?

Maybe Andre and I beat the odds.

Yeah, well, good luck.

Don't need it.

I got a good man.

That remains to be seen.
And, um,

we'll pretend
that this kiss never happened?

You couldn't if you tried.

The questions Jacob was asking,

were they about Doug?

He wanted to make sure there
was nothing he was missing.

I'm the one
who wasn't paying attention.

All the signs were right in
front of me, and I ignored them.

You were busy.

You have a business and children

-and a life of your own...
-Did you know

he went to Nicole

for help to stop gambling?

No, I'm sorry, I didn't.

Don't apologize.

I didn't know either.

Was I just not paying attention?

Look, speaking from experience,

you can get...

really good at hiding
what shames you.

Even from the woman
you lay next to.

I know what that does
to a family--

the secrets and shame.

It's... a toxic recipe.

He-he said he'd moved past it.

I-I wanted to believe it.

And I'm sure Doug did, too.

You know, it's hard when you
have a compulsion like that,

a... addiction
to something so self-destructive

yet so...

irresistible.

-[phone chimes]
-[clears throat]

Um, I better check this.

Of course.

Thank you so much.

Hope everything
will be all right.

So do I.

[phone buzzing]

Hey.

Let me take you to dinner.

Your choice.

Well, I'd love that,

but I'm actually feeling
a little run-down.

Must have been
something I ate for lunch.

Well, if you ask me,

it's because you found out
online

that your new stepfather
is your aunt's nephew.

News like that'll turn anybody
inside out.

Wait till you hear
about the conversation we had.

That's what did it.

-Wait, you actually...
-[chuckles] Yeah,

someone had to talk
some sense into them.

Look, just find something
to soothe your stomach,

crawl into bed,
and I'll see you soon.

Love you.

[sighs]

-[Dani squealing]
-[Andre moaning]

[Dani laughing]

[both moan]

Well, I missed you, too,

but that kiss had
extra exuberance.

Care to share with the class?

Uh, relief that you weren't
yet another new in-law

coming to interrogate me.

Who'd I miss?

Naomi.

[chuckles] Her outrage
was downright biblical.

Yeah. The law degree
really made her lethal.

Yeah, there's
a simple explanation.

This marriage flies in the face

of everything I have drummed
into their beautiful,

-dutiful skulls.
-Ah.

If the situation were reversed
and they ran off

to God knows where to gallivant

with the most wonderful man
on God's green earth,

I would be serving them both
doses of holy hell

for the rest of their natural
lives and twice on Sundays.

[chuckles]
Okay, the passion.

Dupree curse.

When we love, we love hard.

-Mm.
-And forever.

And don't cross us.

-Because a grudge like that?
-Hmm.

It's eternal.

Hey, honey?

Sorry I'm late.

Hey.

So, um...

Why don't I take you to dinner?
Hmm?

Your choice.

Seafood place in Silver Spring?

Whatever you want.

Unless you know a magic way

of making the day
change course...

[sighs]
Look.

I'm sorry that we argued.

Okay? Really, I am.

[sighs]

If you'll let me make it up
to you...

That's not what's bothering me.

Well...

not entirely.

Okay, then what's wrong?

I have bad news,

and I know
it's gonna break your heart.

And never count
on getting a second chance,

so you better make every beat
of your heart mean something.

Well, he was a giant among men.

His loss is tremendous.

Not just to your family
and friends

but to medicine.

Think of the lives
he could have saved

-if he could have only saved
his own.
-[scoffs]

[footsteps approaching]

Hey.
[chuckles softly]

Mom.

How did you know I was here?

Joey texted me.

You two know each other?

Mm.

My children will be
the death of me,

-but they also give me life.
-Mm.

What did Naomi say?

Ooh. The way she tells it,

I'm the big bad wolf who's out
to grab everything I can get.

Felt like that this morning.

You weren't complaining.

-I was not.
-Mm.

Had them believing
in all kinds of fairy tales.

As if all a man could want
from their mother is her money.

If you tell them
what you want from me, Andre,

I swear...

What? You're gonna deny me
all of this?

-[laughs]
-Hmm?

[chuckling]

Come here.

My mother told me that I needed
to burn some bridges.

-So I told Bill...
-Mm.

...that I've never met
a man like you,

that you've brought me back
to life,

that being with you
is a revelation,

and that you have helped me
realize that

I have needs
that haven't been met in years.

You did not.

Kind of slipped out.

Huh.

I bet Bill loved hearing that.
[chuckles softly]

How'd the rest
of this conversation go?

What's got you so upset?

I took a-a pregnancy test,
and...

I guess I'm just late.

-[sighs]
-Okay. Sweetheart, hey.

Hey, it's okay.

It's best not to rush
these things.

I'm not rushing.

I'm excited to start a family.

-And I thought you were, too.
-Okay, hey, hey.

Look, show me
another man around here

who wants a baby
as much as I do.

Hmm?

Come here. Look.

[sighs]
I'm only saying...

that once your body

and both of our hearts have
finished healing from the loss,

then... we'll have the baby.

I know how much it means
to you to start this family,

your best family.

And I can't wait
to give that to you.

I promise,

I am going to make you
a father again...

very, very soon.

Hey, babe.

You look cozy.

How you feeling?

Miserable.

Well, I got just the thing--

chicken soup from Orphey Gene's.

It won't help. I'm not sick.

I'm pregnant.
