00:00:00Oh, just in time.
00:00:05All right.
00:00:06Anna, you've got this.
00:00:09You're going to go in there.
00:00:10You're going to wow the fancy CEO guest lecturer.
00:00:13And you're going to be so amazing that he offers you a job on the spot.
00:00:16Hello, everyone.
00:00:17Welcome to the foundations of business.
00:00:20My friend, Professor Barnes, has invited me to be a guest lecturer for the semester.
00:00:25My name is James Chapman.
00:00:29Anna?
00:00:53Come on, we don't need to do anything.
00:00:54James, James, James.
00:00:56James, I need to focus.
00:00:57Just because you got into NYU doesn't mean I don't need to study anymore.
00:01:01Whatever happened to my success is our success.
00:01:04Um, okay.
00:01:05How about next year when I get into Columbia?
00:01:07Then we can goof off all that we want.
00:01:09That's your plan?
00:01:11Radio silence until you're an official Columbo?
00:01:14That is not what I said.
00:01:15We will talk every day.
00:01:17I promise.
00:01:18Biggie promise?
00:01:22You're a child.
00:01:23Mm hmm.
00:01:45How was class?
00:01:46Did you finally learn the secret to starting the perfect business?
00:01:49No.
00:01:51I didn't go.
00:01:52You cut class?
00:01:54That lecturer must have been.
00:01:55It was James.
00:01:57You're kidding.
00:01:59What happened?
00:02:00You know, Becca, how to cheat on your girlfriend and move a thousand miles away and start blocking her phone calls wasn't exactly in the lesson plan, so.
00:02:08I am so sorry, Anna.
00:02:12It's been almost nine years.
00:02:15There's so much I wanted to tell him about.
00:02:17You know, I haven't even had the chance to tell him about.
00:02:19About what, Mom?
00:02:22She forgot to tell you about a very special dessert we have planned for after dinner.
00:02:30Cupcakes?
00:02:32I don't know.
00:02:33We're going to have to wait and see.
00:02:34Sweet.
00:02:36Mom, can we meet on the couch?
00:02:38Absolutely.
00:02:39Just give me a second, OK?
00:02:43You, my friend, are the best honorary mom a girl could ask for.
00:02:47Anything for my perfect class-cutting honorary daughter.
00:02:55You know, the best thing my mom did was break up with James for me.
00:02:59Cruel as she is, she always knew he was bad news.
00:03:03Anna, I know you have a lot of complicated feelings about James, but you need to tell him about Olivia.
00:03:10She's his daughter.
00:03:11It's only right.
00:03:13Mom, where are you?
00:03:16I'm coming, sweetie.
00:03:19I am not telling him anything.
00:03:22BELL RINGS
00:03:30Look who decided to join.
00:03:32Listen, I don't know why you're here, why you're deciding to torture me, but...
00:03:37I can assure you me being here has nothing to do with you.
00:03:39This class is important to me.
00:03:42Just please promise me you'll behave yourself.
00:04:04Mr. Chapman?
00:04:07Are you alright?
00:04:09Never better.
00:04:11Let's talk about my favorite part of business.
00:04:14The customer.
00:04:16There is no more important relationship than the one that you share with your customer.
00:04:21And how do you gain the trust of a customer?
00:04:25Honesty.
00:04:29Brand loyalty is a two-way street.
00:04:32They give us our business, and in return, we provide a consistent, positive experience.
00:04:37But they're not always with us.
00:04:40So the question remains.
00:04:42How do we show that we care from afar?
00:04:45Consistent communication.
00:04:48Are you kidding me?
00:04:54This is a safe place for discussion.
00:04:58Actually, you know what? I think we could all benefit from a healthy debate.
00:05:01Anna, was it? Would you mind coming up here, please?
00:05:05Not at all.
00:05:10So, you disagree with my thesis.
00:05:12Well, no. I think communicating with your customers regularly is essential.
00:05:17Oh, well, that was a short...
00:05:19But I do believe that your love for your customers is... disingenuous.
00:05:24Disingenuous?
00:05:25It means insincere.
00:05:26I know what it means.
00:05:28I'll have you know my love for customers is not only built on honesty, but genuine compassion.
00:05:32Yeah. A weekly meme-filled newsletter always makes me feel loved.
00:05:36Well, it seems to work for my company.
00:05:38We've seen an exponential increase in first-time users this past quarter.
00:05:41What about your long-term users?
00:05:43What do you do to maintain your customers who have supported you for years?
00:05:46You know, you're great at reaching out to customers and inserting yourself in their lives.
00:05:51But what about when they try to contact you?
00:05:54I think any loyal customer will find my company very easy to reach.
00:05:59This is your customer surface line.
00:06:02I've been on hold for almost five minutes, and I still haven't spoken to a single human being.
00:06:07Is that how you show you care?
00:06:15You know, growth doesn't mean anything when you abandon the people who got you there.
00:06:22I think that's a fair point.
00:06:24Very well... argued.
00:06:28And exactly the kind of well-researched and confident points that I like to see in the boardroom.
00:06:33Let's give it up for Anna.
00:06:38Alright, I think we all learned something today.
00:06:41And I think...
00:06:46You know, I think we can end class early.
00:06:49Yeah, good work.
00:07:03Anna! Anna! Wait up!
00:07:04What?
00:07:05I want to talk to you.
00:07:07About us.
00:07:09Well, late to ask me to prom, don't you think?
00:07:11What are you even doing here anyway?
00:07:13Aren't you a little too old to be in a college class?
00:07:15I didn't go after high school.
00:07:16Ah, didn't get in anywhere.
00:07:19And I'm sure everyone else is to blame.
00:07:22I don't owe you an explanation.
00:07:24I don't actually owe you anything after what you did.
00:07:26What do you mean?
00:07:27You're the one who iced me out.
00:07:29Iced you out?
00:07:30You changed your number, you blocked me on everything.
00:07:32You know, I can't remember what I ever saw in you.
00:07:34You were sort of always like gliding through life without ever having to work for anything.
00:07:38That is so rich.
00:07:39Coming from the person who can't even break up with her own boyfriend by herself.
00:07:43You're such an asshole.
00:07:45You ran out of the classroom the moment you saw me.
00:07:48Like a child.
00:07:49I mean, not to mention that customer service shit you pulled in there.
00:07:53That's why you chased me out here.
00:07:55You're jealous because I beat you in a debate.
00:07:58Anna, I'm the CEO of a Fortune 500 company.
00:08:01I could care less about a classroom exercise.
00:08:03Bullshit!
00:08:05No matter where you go, no matter how high up the corporate ladder you climb,
00:08:09with daddy's help, no doubt,
00:08:12you know I'll always be smarter than you.
00:08:14Just like I was in high school.
00:08:16And you hate it.
00:08:18Admit it, James.
00:08:20It's Professor Chapman, too.
00:08:22Now wouldn't that just turn you on?
00:08:27There you are.
00:08:29I've been looking for you all over campus.
00:08:34Um...
00:08:37This is Astrid.
00:08:39Hi! Is this one of your students?
00:08:43We're not hiring any interns at the moment. Sorry.
00:08:46No. Uh, this is Anna.
00:08:49The one I told you about.
00:08:51Anna.
00:08:52Oh! The Anna! Like from high school.
00:08:56You know, I was gonna say you looked a little old to be a student,
00:09:00but I didn't want to be rude.
00:09:02Yeah. Well, I'm glad you didn't say that.
00:09:05So you're James' girlfriend?
00:09:07Oh. No. Uh...
00:09:10I'm his fiancé.
00:09:12God, I love saying that.
00:09:15Oh. Wow.
00:09:18Congratulations. To both of you.
00:09:21Thank you. We are very excited.
00:09:25Sorry.
00:09:30So I've gotta run.
00:09:32It was nice meeting you.
00:09:42He's engaged.
00:09:43Engaged? What? Since when?
00:09:46I don't know, but I'm definitely not telling him about Olivia now.
00:09:49Why not?
00:09:50Because he's an asshole.
00:09:52And I don't need Olivia waiting around for him to find the time to make a phone call
00:09:55from whatever stupid corporate retreat he's on.
00:09:57Anna, you're the one juggling two jobs and a college degree,
00:10:01taking the bus everywhere.
00:10:03He needs to take some responsibility.
00:10:05I'm doing fine on my own.
00:10:07Olivia's really happy. You're happy.
00:10:09You barely get enough sleep to function.
00:10:12You're stretching yourself far too thin.
00:10:15It's okay to take a little help from the millionaire.
00:10:17This is not about money.
00:10:19This is about whether or not James can actually commit to something.
00:10:22You know, I can't even imagine James getting through one round of Candyland with Olivia.
00:10:26It's not worth the trouble.
00:10:28I can't risk her getting really close to him and getting her hopes up
00:10:31just for him to take off when times get tough.
00:10:36Anna, are we still talking about Olivia?
00:10:39Or are we talking about you?
00:10:43She was cute.
00:10:46Who?
00:10:48Anna.
00:10:51Why'd you end things? Anyway.
00:10:54It's not important.
00:10:58Come on.
00:11:01It's been forever since I heard some high school gossip.
00:11:05Please?
00:11:07It's stupid.
00:11:10Try me.
00:11:17Okay.
00:11:20So, I went over to her house one day.
00:11:23And her mom answers the door.
00:11:26And says that she's breaking up with me.
00:11:29Because she's in love with someone else.
00:11:32Her mom told you?
00:11:34Yeah.
00:11:36That's brutal.
00:11:39Yeah, that was the worst part.
00:11:41I mean, we told each other everything.
00:11:44Or at least I thought we did.
00:11:46That's so high school.
00:11:49What'd you say to her when you found out?
00:11:51Nothing.
00:11:53This was right before I left for college, so I just blocked her and everything.
00:11:58Started a new chapter.
00:12:01But all that matters is that I moved on.
00:12:05And met someone really special.
00:12:07Oh yeah? Who's that?
00:12:36Hmm.
00:12:56Thank you, again, for the extra shifts.
00:12:58You know, the restaurant's really been cutting my hours this month.
00:13:01Anything I can do at the bakery would be a huge help.
00:13:11How was your day?
00:13:13Huge debate about Purple Pig versus Bluey today.
00:13:15I was the moderator.
00:13:17Guys, sometimes I miss being six.
00:13:19So nice.
00:13:22That's my girl.
00:13:24Alright.
00:13:26What do you want to do today?
00:13:29We could go to the library.
00:13:32We could race to some ice cream.
00:13:34I'm too tired.
00:13:36You're too tired? For ice cream?
00:13:38Usually you're bouncing off the walls after playgroup.
00:13:44You're feeling a little bit warm.
00:13:46Okay, let's go home, yeah?
00:13:48Let's get ice cream on the couch.
00:13:51Mom, who's that man watching us?
00:13:55Um, you know what?
00:13:57I think it was one of my classmates, okay?
00:13:59Let's not worry about it.
00:14:00Let's go home.
00:14:07Alright, and remember to study for your exam on Wednesday.
00:14:10Good work today.
00:14:12Hey, Deanna, can you hang back for a second?
00:14:16Won't your fiancé be waiting for you?
00:14:20I have an opportunity for you.
00:14:22Is this some kind of joke?
00:14:24It's not a joke.
00:14:25I really don't have time to be made fun of right now.
00:14:26Will you let me talk for a second?
00:14:29So, a friend in New York owes me a favor
00:14:32and said they could hook you up with a job.
00:14:34Just some basic data entry stuff,
00:14:36and you could even do it remotely.
00:14:38Oh, wow, that's very sweet.
00:14:40Where is this coming from?
00:14:41I know your secret.
00:14:44How do you know?
00:14:45Wait, what do you...
00:14:46What?
00:14:47I know you work in multiple jobs.
00:14:48Your professor told me.
00:14:50Professor Linden told you about the bakery.
00:14:52And the nannying, the restaurant.
00:14:54Nannying?
00:14:55The girl you're taking care of.
00:14:56Wait, were you following me yesterday?
00:14:59What? No, I just...
00:15:00Oh my God!
00:15:01I just don't think you've been very open with me.
00:15:03Being open with you?
00:15:04What do you mean?
00:15:05You want me to give you all this information so you pity me?
00:15:07I'm not trying to pity you.
00:15:08I just want to help.
00:15:09I don't want your help.
00:15:11Why do you have to be so stubborn?
00:15:12I'm not being stubborn.
00:15:13I don't want any handouts.
00:15:14I don't want to have to owe you anything.
00:15:16Okay, have you considered that maybe I'm not trying to screw you over?
00:15:18That maybe, just maybe, I'm a good person.
00:15:20Oh, you're a good person?
00:15:22No, no, no.
00:15:23You just feel guilty about the way that you left me.
00:15:25Oh my God, Anna, which is it?
00:15:27That I abandoned you when you needed help?
00:15:29Or that you never want any help from me for the rest of your life?
00:15:31Because you can't have both.
00:15:33I never want to see you again.
00:15:38James?
00:15:39Shit, I don't know what to do.
00:15:40I don't want to have a call.
00:15:41What? What's going on?
00:15:42What? What?
00:15:43I need to go to the hospital right now.
00:15:45Okay, I'll take you.
00:15:51Anna, wait up.
00:15:52What is going on?
00:15:53I will tell you later.
00:15:54You don't think I deserve any kind of explanation?
00:15:56James, you are the last thing on my mind right now.
00:15:58Is it your mom?
00:15:59Will you just shut up?
00:16:00For two seconds.
00:16:01Right, yeah, sorry.
00:16:02Hi, I'm Anna Johnson.
00:16:04I'm here for Olivia Johnson.
00:16:06What room is she in?
00:16:07Sure, let me take a look.
00:16:08512.
00:16:09Okay, thank you.
00:16:10Johnson?
00:16:11Do you have a sister I don't know about?
00:16:13She's my daughter.
00:16:17Okay.
00:16:23What happened?
00:16:24Tell me everything.
00:16:25A kid pushed her on the playground, not even that hard.
00:16:28And it left this huge bruise.
00:16:30Then I felt her forehead and she was burning up.
00:16:33Oh, God.
00:16:34Why didn't I check my phone?
00:16:36I had my phone with me.
00:16:37I don't know why I didn't check it.
00:16:38Hey, this isn't your fault.
00:16:39None of this is your fault.
00:16:41All that matters is you're here now.
00:16:44Mom?
00:16:45Hey, honey.
00:16:47It's okay, all right?
00:16:48I'm here now.
00:16:49Everything's going to be fine.
00:16:50The doctor's going to get you all better.
00:16:51Mom, who's that?
00:16:53Oh, hi, I'm James.
00:16:55I'm a friend of your mom's.
00:16:56So then why didn't you just come and say hi yesterday?
00:17:00Why were you hiding behind that tree?
00:17:03Olivia?
00:17:04Hi, I'm Dr. Sherman.
00:17:05I'll be helping you feel better today.
00:17:08So we got some fever and fainting.
00:17:10There were also some chest pains on the way over here.
00:17:13Mom, am I going to die?
00:17:15No, honey, no.
00:17:17You're not going to die.
00:17:18That is why we're here, okay?
00:17:20Mm-hmm.
00:17:21We've already got her on some acetaminophen
00:17:23just to bring the fever down.
00:17:24But I'd like to do more tests
00:17:26on either her full medical history
00:17:28and the history of both parents.
00:17:30Oh, no, I'm not the father.
00:17:31Oh, my apologies.
00:17:33Do you have the father's full medical history?
00:17:35Uh, yes.
00:17:38I can contact the father, um, later today.
00:17:42Perfect.
00:17:43I'll be back to check on Olivia in a bit.
00:17:45Okay.
00:17:47Anna, can I talk to you in the hallway for a second?
00:17:51Not now, Becca.
00:17:52Yes, now.
00:17:54Or would you prefer we have this discussion
00:17:55in front of everyone?
00:17:56Let's go inside.
00:18:03So are you obsessed with my mom or what?
00:18:07What was that?
00:18:08I don't know. I panicked.
00:18:10I'm gonna figure out his medical history somehow.
00:18:12Anna, this is your daughter.
00:18:14We don't have time to wait for you
00:18:15to figure out how you feel about James.
00:18:17Either you tell him the truth right now,
00:18:20or I will.
00:18:25You're right.
00:18:26I have to do this.
00:18:28Shit!
00:18:30It's gonna ruin everything.
00:18:31No.
00:18:34You're going to make things right.
00:18:37Favorite pizza topic?
00:18:39Uh, pepperoni.
00:18:41A classic.
00:18:42Favorite dog breed?
00:18:44Golden Retriever.
00:18:45We're really not going for creativity, are we?
00:18:50Hey, Olivia, how old are you?
00:18:52I'm, um, James.
00:18:54Could I speak with you outside for a second?
00:18:56Is everything okay?
00:18:58Um...
00:19:00Do you want to go get some lunch first?
00:19:02Anna, please.
00:19:04Tell me.
00:19:05James.
00:19:09You're the father.
00:19:14Yeah, I know.
00:19:15I found out two weeks after you and I broke up,
00:19:17but because of the way we ended things,
00:19:18I just decided to raise Olivia on my own.
00:19:22What about your parents?
00:19:23Oh, they kicked me out of the house.
00:19:25You know, the Bible hates teenage pregnancies.
00:19:27Who knew?
00:19:28Anna.
00:19:29Yeah, I know. It's okay. It was fine.
00:19:30And my mom's best friend,
00:19:31well, now ex-best friend, Becca,
00:19:33she took me in,
00:19:34and she made me go back for college,
00:19:35and I've just been juggling all this ever since.
00:19:39I can't believe that you would be so selfish.
00:19:42Excuse me?
00:19:43I had every right to know about my kid.
00:19:46I don't care whatever post-breakup teenage angst
00:19:49you were dealing with.
00:19:50That is my fucking kid.
00:19:52I do not have the time to deal with your bullshit.
00:19:55I'm gonna go talk to the doctor.
00:19:56You're not without me, you're not.
00:19:58Anna, your friend Becca already submitted
00:20:00your family's complete medical history.
00:20:02Oh. Wow. Okay.
00:20:04As for you, James,
00:20:05can you tell me anything about your family?
00:20:07Is there a history of cancer, lung disease, blood disease?
00:20:10My aunt had breast cancer a while back,
00:20:13and my grandma had anemia and thalassemia.
00:20:17Okay, so what can we do next?
00:20:19We're just gonna have to run more tests.
00:20:21Do whatever you need to do.
00:20:22I'll pay for all of it.
00:20:23Money's not an issue.
00:20:24James, no, I can cover this.
00:20:26Jesus, Anna, be serious.
00:20:27Do you have any idea how expensive
00:20:28medical procedures can be?
00:20:29Oh, I'm so sorry.
00:20:30Are hospital bills expensive?
00:20:32I really had no idea.
00:20:33Thank you so much for enlightening
00:20:34my dumb little brain.
00:20:35Don't put words in my mouth.
00:20:36Don't talk down to me.
00:20:37What's important here is Olivia's well-being,
00:20:40both physically and emotionally.
00:20:42This is a scary time.
00:20:43It's important that we all put up
00:20:45a strong, united front.
00:20:46Can you do that?
00:20:56So, how are we gonna tell Olivia?
00:20:58Whoa, wait, whoa.
00:21:00We're not telling Olivia anything
00:21:01until she's older.
00:21:02Why wait?
00:21:03She's probably dreamed of having
00:21:04a father her whole life.
00:21:05She's been doing just fine without one.
00:21:09And you know what the last thing
00:21:11Olivia needs is?
00:21:12Is to get really close to someone
00:21:13who's just gonna flake on her
00:21:14when she needs him the most.
00:21:17How do I know I can trust you?
00:21:20Because I'm here.
00:21:23You told me everything I need to know,
00:21:25and I'm still here.
00:21:27What about your fiancé?
00:21:29She'll understand how important
00:21:30this is to me.
00:21:34Because once we do this,
00:21:36once I tell her,
00:21:39there's no going back.
00:21:43Are you sure that you can handle this?
00:21:47I'll hung out with her for five minutes.
00:21:49I can already tell she's a great kid.
00:21:52I promise I will do whatever it takes
00:21:55to give her the best life possible.
00:22:05Olivia,
00:22:06I have something to tell you, okay?
00:22:10Uh, James is not just my friend.
00:22:14He is also your father.
00:22:17Oh my God.
00:22:18This is amazing!
00:22:21I have so much to catch you up on.
00:22:24Do you read?
00:22:25Because I have a lot of recommendations.
00:22:28Well, I can't wait to hear them.
00:22:30You know, I have a feeling you're my dad.
00:22:32When I was asking you all those questions,
00:22:34you were scratching your ear,
00:22:36and I do that, too.
00:22:37I'm nervous.
00:22:38Do Grandma and Grandpa do that?
00:22:40Do Grandma and Grandpa even want
00:22:41to be called Grandma and Grandpa?
00:22:43Maybe Gigi and Papa.
00:22:45This is so surreal.
00:22:46She looks so happy.
00:22:48Isn't it nice to stop keeping secrets for once?
00:22:53I guess you're right.
00:22:54James!
00:22:55Astrid.
00:22:56How did you find me?
00:22:58Well, you were an hour late to lunch.
00:23:00I thought to check the location,
00:23:02and it said you were in the hospital.
00:23:04I was worried sick.
00:23:06I'm sorry.
00:23:07Everything happened so fast.
00:23:09You could have been dead.
00:23:11I'm sorry.
00:23:12I had to take Anna to the hospital.
00:23:14We had to make sure Olivia was okay.
00:23:16Olivia, who's...
00:23:17Hi.
00:23:20Hello.
00:23:21Hello.
00:23:24Wow.
00:23:25Friendly.
00:23:27Guess we found a new babysitter.
00:23:31Well, now that this one's all happy,
00:23:36shouldn't we be going?
00:23:39Listen, you can head out whenever,
00:23:41but I need to stick around.
00:23:44James, don't you think you're kind of
00:23:47intruding on family time?
00:23:50Actually, can we talk outside?
00:23:53You have a child, James?
00:23:57You have a child?
00:23:59Astrid, I'm sorry.
00:24:00I just found out today.
00:24:01I was going to tell you later tonight.
00:24:02Oh, yeah.
00:24:03I'm sure you would have.
00:24:04It's a lot to process, I know.
00:24:06I mean, I'm still processing it myself.
00:24:09Oh, my God.
00:24:10This cannot be happening.
00:24:12It's not going to be easy.
00:24:15But she's a really special kid.
00:24:18Let me guess.
00:24:20You're paying for everything?
00:24:23I offered.
00:24:24Oh, my God.
00:24:25You are so gullible, it's embarrassing.
00:24:27What are you talking about?
00:24:28So the woman who broke up with you in high school
00:24:32all of a sudden needs a ton of money
00:24:34for a sick kid days after she finds out
00:24:37you're a millionaire.
00:24:39Don't you think this is a little convenient?
00:24:43Anna wouldn't do that.
00:24:45How do you know, James?
00:24:48I mean, you knew her in high school.
00:24:51You don't know what kind of person she is now.
00:24:54I can't believe you would say this.
00:24:56My child is sick.
00:24:59Your child.
00:25:02Wasn't she with someone else when you two were together?
00:25:05I mean, how do you even know she's yours?
00:25:18Dad, do you want to join us?
00:25:20We just started a new game.
00:25:22Not right now, Olivia.
00:25:23Anna, can I see you outside?
00:25:29Well, she likes you.
00:25:31Anna, I...
00:25:33Oh, really?
00:25:34Yeah.
00:25:35Well, actually, what she said is she thinks you're smart,
00:25:37which for her is the highest praise you could receive.
00:25:39Well, I'm honored, but, um...
00:25:40But what?
00:25:41Running away from us already?
00:25:45James?
00:25:47I think we need to take a paternity test.
00:25:51Are you kidding me?
00:25:53I just think we need to make sure,
00:25:55especially if medical histories are going to be affected.
00:25:57Oh, my God! Oh, my God!
00:25:58I knew you were going to do this.
00:25:59Of course you're doing this.
00:26:00I just think logically...
00:26:01Logically?
00:26:02No, logically, you would not have waited
00:26:03until after you told my... our kid
00:26:06before you started pulling this shit.
00:26:07I'm not pulling anything.
00:26:08I just think it's all a little...
00:26:09A little what?
00:26:10No, no, a little what? Suspicious?
00:26:12Do you think I'm lying to you for some free blood tests?
00:26:14Who else would it fucking be?
00:26:15I don't know how many losers from our hometown
00:26:17you used to spend your little nights with, Anna,
00:26:19but maybe none of them run a corporation.
00:26:21You're disgusting.
00:26:23You know, the only reason I told you any of this
00:26:25was for the well-being of my daughter.
00:26:28I do not want your money.
00:26:29I will take care of this like I take care of everything else.
00:26:32Go take your stupid test. I don't care.
00:26:42Okay.
00:27:08Dr. Sherman?
00:27:11I'm the father, aren't I?
00:27:15Anna.
00:27:16Jesus, James, what are you doing here?
00:27:18I went to the hospital, but they said...
00:27:19Yeah, they cleared us to go home, so we went home.
00:27:24I was such an asshole.
00:27:27So you got the results back, huh?
00:27:29I'm sorry I even questioned it.
00:27:32With everything you're going through, I'm...
00:27:35I'm sorry.
00:27:38Yeah, well, if Olivia's happy, I'm happy.
00:27:43I'm so happy to be here, Dad.
00:27:46I really am.
00:27:48And I promise...
00:27:52I will be as much of a part of her life as you want me to be.
00:28:02What's wrong?
00:28:03Wait, stop. I don't know.
00:28:04I don't know what's happening.
00:28:07I'm sorry, I think it's just been...
00:28:10A lot.
00:28:12I know.
00:28:21It's getting late, James. I think you should go home.
00:28:37God.
00:28:38James won't stop texting me about spending a day with Olivia.
00:28:40This time, his excuse was it would give me time to focus on studying.
00:28:44Wouldn't it?
00:28:45Well, of course it would.
00:28:46But I'm not going to cart Olivia off to her father.
00:28:49Anna, sweetie, it's been weeks.
00:28:53He's obviously sticking around.
00:28:55I know.
00:28:56I know.
00:28:57I know.
00:28:58I know.
00:28:59I know.
00:29:00I know.
00:29:01I know.
00:29:02I know.
00:29:03I know.
00:29:04I know.
00:29:05I know.
00:29:06You shouldn't stick around.
00:29:07Come on.
00:29:09When was the last time you took any time off?
00:29:14I mean, I guess you're right.
00:29:18Okay. Fine.
00:29:20Fine.
00:29:21You win.
00:29:26She loves Candyland.
00:29:28Or should we teach her Monopoly?
00:29:30Is Monopoly too mean of a game?
00:29:33It's about...Solitaire.
00:29:38What? I'm kidding.
00:29:41Thank you for being so supportive with all this.
00:29:44I know it's been a lot, but I really think Olivia's going to love our new home.
00:29:49Yeah, I'm surprised you actually committed to buying this place.
00:29:54It's such a podunk town.
00:29:57Why?
00:29:58Well, sweetie, New York City is our home.
00:30:03This is just a place for you to play dad a couple times a year.
00:30:09This is not a part-time thing, Astrid. I fully intend to be a part of Olivia's life.
00:30:16Oh, James, I love you, but you are not dad material.
00:30:23You're going to get sick of this in, like, a couple hours.
00:30:26She's my daughter, Astrid. I'm not going anywhere.
00:30:32It's really important to me that you try to connect with her.
00:30:36You will try, won't you?
00:30:38Mm-hmm.
00:30:42So it's a magical school where your powers come from what instrument you play.
00:30:47The violinists are the popular kids, but Julie, our protagonist...
00:30:52She's an orphan, by the way. She plays the oboe.
00:30:56Ah.
00:30:58Hey, how about music? Do you like music?
00:31:03I bet you're a swifty. Favorite era?
00:31:08Favorite what?
00:31:15Okay, so these are for the morning, before any food.
00:31:19This is once every four hours if she mentions any pain.
00:31:23Got it. And what about these?
00:31:24This is for the evening, okay? With food.
00:31:29Wait, wait, wait. Hang on.
00:31:34No, this is in the morning before food. This is...
00:31:37What is happening? I literally labeled these so that I could organize them, and I think that they're all messed up.
00:31:42Anna, it's okay.
00:31:44No, it's actually not okay, because I actually can't mess this up.
00:31:46It's just, like, so much.
00:31:48I know, I know. Hey, take a breather, okay?
00:31:51Okay? We can sort these out in a minute. You're doing great.
00:32:08Sorry, it's just been so nonstop.
00:32:11I know. Olivia's so lucky to have you.
00:32:19James?
00:32:21Join me in the bedroom? Now?
00:32:25Yeah.
00:32:30We need to talk.
00:32:39I didn't sign up for this.
00:32:42It's too much. You must see. It's too much.
00:32:46It's an adjustment for all of us.
00:32:48I'm sorry I don't fit into your perfect little fairy tale, but I don't want to end up being some evil stepmother.
00:32:56I mean, you could be a nice stepmother.
00:32:59You're missing the point. I don't want to be any kind of stepmother.
00:33:07We talked about this.
00:33:09We didn't want kids.
00:33:11Kids?
00:33:13We've planned a whole life together, and you're just going to throw all of that out the window for some fling you had when you were a teenager?
00:33:21You know it's more than that, Astrid.
00:33:23And I'm sorry, I know this was completely different than anything we were expecting, but they're my family.
00:33:29They're my family.
00:33:40You can play perfect family. That's fine.
00:33:46But I'm not going to be a part of it.
00:33:50You have to choose.
00:33:52Me, or them.
00:34:00Don't make me choose, Astrid.
00:34:03Oh my god.
00:34:05I'm sorry.
00:34:08You can't be serious.
00:34:11After everything we built together, you're just going to choose a stranger?
00:34:16She's my daughter, Astrid. I've already missed so many years of her life. I can't miss any more.
00:34:22You promised me forever.
00:34:25And I still do.
00:34:27So let's make it work. Let's be a family. We can all be together.
00:34:32All of us together? You mean Anna, too?
00:34:36Of course. She's Olivia's mother.
00:34:38So I just have to hang out with your ex for the rest of my life?
00:34:42There is nothing going on between us.
00:34:49I'm not going to stick around and hope that you're right.
00:34:57Goodbye, James.
00:35:01We're done.
00:35:07I'm sorry she left this, but thank you for taking such good care of it.
00:35:11Absolutely.
00:35:14So how'd it go?
00:35:16We had so much fun. She took all her meds, and she kicked my butt at Candyland.
00:35:21Yes, she's very good at that.
00:35:23Yeah. So what test did you have today?
00:35:26Financial accounting.
00:35:28Oh, God. So we'll be pouring the good stuff then, huh?
00:35:37What happened between you and Astrid? I saw her storming out.
00:35:41Honestly, it's over.
00:35:45Oh my God. I'm so sorry.
00:35:49It's okay.
00:35:51You know, for so long, I tried to convince myself I didn't want kids.
00:35:55Because Astrid didn't.
00:35:59It made me wonder how many other things I convinced myself I wanted because of Astrid.
00:36:08You know what? Let's open that wine.
00:36:14I mean, she really is just like you.
00:36:16Very sure of what she wants.
00:36:18Every round of Candyland included a ten-step plan to ensure victory.
00:36:23You know, people think that it's all luck.
00:36:26Really, there's so much more strategy.
00:36:31You know, she's actually a lot like you, too.
00:36:36She is.
00:36:39She's really good at picking up tension in a room and diffusing it.
00:36:43Like, any time that I'm stressed, she finds a way to make me laugh.
00:36:48Funny. I thought I was always the one causing stress.
00:36:56Did you really think that Astrid was the one? Like, how did you know?
00:37:03I don't know.
00:37:06I guess I was just comfortable with her.
00:37:08I guess I was just comfortable with her.
00:37:10And then time went on, and I was still comfortable with her.
00:37:15So we just...
00:37:19Always the romantic.
00:37:22What about you? Anybody ever...
00:37:25No, no, no, no. Never.
00:37:29Although, there was a high school boyfriend.
00:37:33Yeah, but he was so good at everything that no one could ever compare.
00:37:38Hey, I tried my best, okay?
00:37:42I read a lot of Cosmo articles.
00:37:44Oh, Cosmo articles.
00:37:46You know, that was probably the first time in your life you ever did your own research.
00:37:49I had some moves, alright? Like, watch this. Ready?
00:38:00Nothing.
00:38:02Was that, like, that was the whole move?
00:38:04Yeah. Okay, it's like I'm looking at your lips.
00:38:08And you're like, oh my god.
00:38:11Does he want to kiss me right now?
00:38:13What does this mean?
00:38:15It's mysterious. It's cool.
00:38:17It's very, very cool.
00:38:27So what is it, Ben?
00:38:34Do you want to kiss me?
00:38:39No.
00:38:48Was that okay?
00:39:00Wait.
00:39:02Was I going too fast?
00:39:04No.
00:39:08I miss the city.
00:39:10Sorry, yeah.
00:39:38I love you.
00:40:08Hey.
00:40:30Morning.
00:40:32Um, it's actually getting a little late. I think, I think I need to go.
00:40:34Go.
00:40:37Anna.
00:40:39Is everything okay?
00:40:41Yeah. That was fun. Obviously.
00:40:44But don't we owe it to ourselves to be, like, a little responsible here?
00:40:49We were drunk.
00:40:51You just got out of a relationship with a woman that you were about to marry.
00:40:54Anna, you're not some random woman I met at a bar last night. We have a history, too.
00:40:58A history of making each other miserable.
00:41:00You're scared. Is that what this is about?
00:41:02I— Come on. Can't you just admit that this is too messy for my daughter?
00:41:05Our daughter?
00:41:09Anna, are you seriously not going to—
00:41:11It's the hospital.
00:41:13Hello?
00:41:15Yes?
00:41:17Okay. We'll be right there.
00:41:19What's wrong?
00:41:21They found something.
00:41:24I was looking through Olivia's blood work, and we noticed some irregularities in the hemoglobin levels of her red blood cells.
00:41:30Is it cancer?
00:41:32No. But based on the other tests and James' family history, it is looking like a rare blood disease called thalassemia.
00:41:39Is she— What does that mean?
00:41:42Her body's having trouble creating oxygen in her blood. She'll need a blood transfusion as soon as possible.
00:41:47How soon?
00:41:49Tonight.
00:41:52We're getting it through this together.
00:41:54We're getting it through this together.
00:41:57No, James. James. I'm sorry. There is so much going on right now.
00:42:04I can't think about us two. I just need to be alone right now.
00:42:11Can you just go?
00:42:24Okay.
00:42:35Honey, you look like shit.
00:42:39Wow. Thank you.
00:42:46You need to sleep too, you know. You can't just stare at her forever.
00:42:51Well, now she's gone.
00:42:54Not me. And her father.
00:42:58No. No, no, no. It's too complicated.
00:43:01Enlighten me.
00:43:05We hooked up.
00:43:07Oh my gosh!
00:43:09She is sleeping. This is incredible.
00:43:12No. No, it's not. It's incredibly messy. He just got in a relationship.
00:43:15With someone who was real.
00:43:16Yeah?
00:43:18She was...
00:43:20It doesn't matter what she was. I'm not going to be anyone's rebound.
00:43:24I think if we look at the full timeline, she was the real rebound.
00:43:28God, you are enjoying this way too much.
00:43:32I just want you to be happy.
00:43:34It's a drunken one-time thing. We were caught up in a moment. It was a huge mistake.
00:43:39Sounds like a fun mistake.
00:43:42You know, he already abandoned us once before.
00:43:44Who's to say he's not going to do that again?
00:43:47I need to show you something.
00:43:49Follow me.
00:44:07James? James?
00:44:09Hey. Hey. What happened? How's Olivia?
00:44:12She's fine. The treatment went really well.
00:44:15She's just resting.
00:44:17Oh, good. Thank God.
00:44:20How long have you been here for?
00:44:23I haven't left.
00:44:26Oh, James.
00:44:28Come on. Okay, look. This whole camp out grand romantic gesture thing, it's...
00:44:32It's very cute.
00:44:34But just be real with me.
00:44:36This is not what you want.
00:44:38Of course it is.
00:44:40I want you, Anna.
00:44:42It's always been you.
00:44:44No, it hasn't. How could you say that to me after you cheated on me?
00:44:48Whoa. What?
00:44:50Cheated on you? When? Who said that?
00:44:53And you're sure it was him?
00:44:56Yes, sweetie.
00:44:58Right there in the middle of the mall like he didn't even care who saw them together.
00:45:05But I...
00:45:08He loves me.
00:45:09You know I always said there was something wrong with that boy.
00:45:14I'm sorry, honey.
00:45:16I wish I wasn't right about this.
00:45:20Mom, I don't know what to do.
00:45:23I don't want to see him ever again.
00:45:26Don't worry, honey.
00:45:28I'll take care of it.
00:45:40There's someone else.
00:45:42From church.
00:45:44Someone actually worth her time.
00:45:55Oh, my God.
00:45:57I cannot believe she lied to me like that.
00:46:00I'm sorry.
00:46:02I'm sorry.
00:46:04I'm sorry.
00:46:06I'm sorry.
00:46:07I cannot believe she lied to me like that.
00:46:09I know she never liked me in the first place, but this is next level.
00:46:13And she went through all of that just to kick me out of the house like a month later.
00:46:18I can't believe she would do that to me.
00:46:20I can't believe I would be so stupid.
00:46:23Hey, trusting your mother as a child is not stupid.
00:46:27But it ruined everything.
00:46:29Maybe it didn't.
00:46:31Oh, no, James. James, come on. I think this is probably a bad idea.
00:46:35Maybe it is, but there's clearly a connection between us.
00:46:40We owe it to ourselves to try again.
00:46:43But what about...
00:46:47Exactly.
00:46:49I mean, what's stopping us?
00:46:51Your fiancé.
00:46:53Ex-fiancé, who dumped me partially because of her fear of Olivia,
00:46:57but mostly because of the way I look at you.
00:47:02But what about...
00:47:03the cheating?
00:47:05That didn't happen?
00:47:09You are my professor.
00:47:11For the semester.
00:47:15Well, then...
00:47:19I guess I have no more excuses.
00:47:25Good.
00:47:28But...
00:47:29We're gonna have to be really...
00:47:34thoughtful about this.
00:47:36Definitely.
00:47:38Yeah, of course.
00:47:40We're gonna take this really...
00:47:44slowly.
00:47:47Okay?
00:47:49Like...
00:47:51a snail's pace.
00:47:54Well, I'll follow your lead.
00:47:55Step...
00:47:57by...
00:47:59step.
00:48:25This...
00:48:27ends...
00:48:29well.
00:48:56Oh...
00:49:04My God, James.
00:49:09Did you bring a...
00:49:11It's your phone.
00:49:15It's Olivia's doctor.
00:49:17I hope I wasn't interrupting anything.
00:49:20No. Nothing.
00:49:22Not at all.
00:49:23Is everything okay?
00:49:24The transfusion was successful.
00:49:26But it's not enough.
00:49:28She'll have to keep getting them,
00:49:30unless we treat the root cause of the problem.
00:49:32Anything would be better than having an eight-year-old
00:49:34go back and forth from the hospital again and again.
00:49:36Exactly.
00:49:38If you want, I can put her on a waiting list
00:49:40for a stem cell transplant,
00:49:42which should eliminate any more future transfusions.
00:49:44That would be incredible. How long is the wait?
00:49:46Another ten months to a year.
00:49:48Jesus, that long?
00:49:50Finding a donor to match takes a lot of time.
00:49:52Our best shot at finding anybody
00:49:54quickly is to receive a donation
00:49:56from a family member.
00:50:00So, this is the kitchen,
00:50:02in case you forgot.
00:50:06I know where the kitchen is, Becca.
00:50:08Just wanted to check,
00:50:10since it seems like you've been at James'
00:50:12every night for the past month.
00:50:14It's been that long?
00:50:16Wow. I don't even know what day of the week it is.
00:50:18Has the hospital called?
00:50:20Did you get the results back?
00:50:22Not yet. James really wants to be the one to do it,
00:50:24of course.
00:50:27I really hope one of us is a match.
00:50:29I don't know what we're going to do if we're not.
00:50:31It's going to work.
00:50:33And Olivia will be out of the hospital in no time.
00:50:39I don't know how I could do any of this
00:50:41without you.
00:50:45You're going to make me cry.
00:50:48Let's eat. Come on.
00:50:50A lot of pickles in here.
00:50:53And watermelon?
00:50:55Yeah, I don't know.
00:50:57My diet's been really off lately.
00:50:59I've just been craving a lot of pickles and watermelon.
00:51:01It's kind of weird, right?
00:51:03Sweetie.
00:51:07Could the timing be any worse?
00:51:09You know, maybe there's a chance
00:51:11you're not pregnant.
00:51:13Maybe it's just stress that's making you
00:51:15buy four bags of triple sour gummy worms
00:51:17Jesus, Anna.
00:51:19Olivia's going to be really excited.
00:51:21She's always wanted a sibling.
00:51:23And at least this time you won't be raising them by yourself.
00:51:25You'll have James.
00:51:27Shit, what am I going to tell James?
00:51:29James is crazy about you.
00:51:31He'll support you no matter what.
00:51:33Are you sure about that?
00:51:35We just now found a sense of normalcy.
00:51:37Not all this new shit's happening.
00:51:39Honestly, I can't take on anything else.
00:51:41It's positive.
00:51:43Well.
00:51:45Aren't you two just a recipe for fertility?
00:51:54Okay.
00:51:56I'm peaking.
00:51:58I'm not peaking.
00:52:00Alright, you ready?
00:52:02Yes.
00:52:04Oh, James.
00:52:06This is very sweet.
00:52:08It's been three weeks.
00:52:10Three months since you came back into my life.
00:52:12I want to celebrate.
00:52:14Okay.
00:52:16I actually have something I really want to talk to you about too.
00:52:18Alright.
00:52:20A little wine for the lady?
00:52:22Oh, no.
00:52:26Okay.
00:52:28Well, I did get some of your favorite sushi.
00:52:30Yeah, I can't have any of that either.
00:52:32Can't?
00:52:34Okay.
00:52:36I can whip us up a little charcuterie board.
00:52:38James, stop.
00:52:40Okay.
00:52:46I'm pregnant.
00:52:54I don't know what to say.
00:52:56Right, of course.
00:52:58Because this was so unplanned, I know.
00:53:00And it's really okay if you don't want to be a part of it at all.
00:53:02It's completely fine.
00:53:04Well.
00:53:06So is that a goodbye forever kiss?
00:53:08Anna.
00:53:10I'm not going anywhere.
00:53:21A little brother or sister?
00:53:23This is the best day of my life.
00:53:25Just wait until the baby gets here.
00:53:27I'm going to be the best big sister in the world.
00:53:29I promise.
00:53:31I know you will, honey.
00:53:33I'm not going to be one of those bossy big sisters.
00:53:35This baby is going to be my best friend.
00:53:37I'm going to read them all my favorite books.
00:53:38It's going to be perfect.
00:53:40Sorry to interrupt.
00:53:42James, Anna, may I see you in the hall for a moment?
00:53:48We got your results back for the stem cell transplant.
00:53:51Neither of you can donate.
00:53:54Okay, well, we're her parents.
00:53:56So genetically, one of us must be a match.
00:53:58Well, technically, Anna is a match.
00:54:00Then what's the problem?
00:54:02Performing this procedure while you're pregnant
00:54:04would be dangerous to both you and the baby.
00:54:06I can't recommend it.
00:54:08Okay, well, what are our options?
00:54:10I mean, wait on the wait list for years?
00:54:12Since Anna is a match,
00:54:14our best bet is to do testing on relatives.
00:54:16Do you have any siblings?
00:54:18None.
00:54:20Could you reach out to your parents?
00:54:26No.
00:54:28There's no way that I'm talking to my parents.
00:54:30Look, I know this is hard for you, but...
00:54:32But what?
00:54:34I can't go to the woman who, at 17 years old,
00:54:36kicked me out of my own house
00:54:38because of what happened.
00:54:40Think about Olivia.
00:54:42I am thinking about Olivia.
00:54:44I'm always thinking about Olivia.
00:54:47Olivia is everything that's good in this world.
00:54:51I don't want my parents anywhere near her.
00:54:54I don't want my parents anywhere near any of my children.
00:54:57Listen.
00:54:59You know I'm not a fan of your parents either.
00:55:02But we can't let our baggage
00:55:04get in the way of our daughter's treatment.
00:55:09I just can't believe that,
00:55:11after everything that they've done,
00:55:14I'm gonna have to come crawling back to them
00:55:17and ask them for something.
00:55:19But you won't have to do it alone.
00:55:22I'll be by your side the whole time.
00:55:25Okay?
00:55:35You ready?
00:55:37No.
00:55:39It's okay.
00:55:41We can wait.
00:55:45What did Becca say when you told her
00:55:47you were coming here?
00:55:49Oh, God, I didn't tell her anything.
00:55:51Yeah, if she knew we were coming here,
00:55:53she'd probably spray-paint the word
00:55:55traitor on the front door.
00:55:57Fair.
00:55:59Maybe we'll take a few steps to the door?
00:56:02Great, yeah. Okay.
00:56:04Okay.
00:56:07Okay.
00:56:10Hannah.
00:56:12Oh, you meant, like, right away?
00:56:14Hannah.
00:56:16You're the strongest person I know.
00:56:18If anybody can handle this, it's you.
00:56:20What if they say no?
00:56:22Then when have you ever turned down a debate?
00:56:24All right.
00:56:26You're right about that.
00:56:28Okay, let's do this.
00:56:30Okay.
00:56:37He's a car in the driveway.
00:56:39Yeah, well, he must be home.
00:56:42Hello?
00:56:44Hello?
00:56:46Maybe they went for a walk or something?
00:56:49I know you're in there.
00:56:54Maybe we should just go.
00:56:56No, do you know what?
00:56:58I'm so sick of doing everything on her terms.
00:57:00I know.
00:57:02I know.
00:57:04I know.
00:57:06You ruined my life.
00:57:08I hope that you know that.
00:57:11I could have gone to college on time with everybody else.
00:57:15I could have had the support to get a good job
00:57:18and provide for my daughter, but I couldn't.
00:57:20I couldn't do any of that
00:57:22because I couldn't fit into whatever stupid vision
00:57:24you had for me.
00:57:27Actually, no.
00:57:29No, you know what?
00:57:31I did. I did fit into the mold.
00:57:33I did every single AP class.
00:57:34Every single after-school activity
00:57:36and every community service event.
00:57:38I was such a good daughter,
00:57:40and I loved you so much.
00:57:46But I guess you didn't know how to love me back.
00:57:55Excuse me.
00:57:57If you don't leave,
00:57:59I'm going to call the police.
00:58:01What? No, that won't be necessary.
00:58:02This is a misunderstanding.
00:58:04We're very sorry.
00:58:06No, but the Johnsons live here.
00:58:08My parents live here.
00:58:10Okay, Anna, we clearly have the wrong house.
00:58:12We're very sorry. Come on.
00:58:14I don't own my own house.
00:58:16I'm so sorry. Can you please help us?
00:58:18Are you renting a room from them or something?
00:58:20No.
00:58:22I've lived here for the past six years.
00:58:24Six years?
00:58:26Parents sold the house six years ago.
00:58:28They didn't tell me?
00:58:30Okay.
00:58:32I'm sorry.
00:58:34Honey, can I get you some water or something?
00:58:36That's not necessary. Thank you.
00:58:38We should go. Come on.
00:58:40Anna, let's go.
00:58:42Anna, are you okay?
00:58:44I don't feel good.
00:58:46What? Hey, it's okay.
00:58:48Hey, hey, hey, hey!
00:58:50Hey, hey, hey! Anna! Anna!
00:58:52Are you okay? Hey!
00:58:59I can't believe they would move and not tell me.
00:59:02I can.
00:59:04Why'd you even go over there?
00:59:06I don't know. It was a stupid idea.
00:59:08James and I can't donate stem cells to Olivia.
00:59:11But the doctor said that odds are my parents would be matches.
00:59:16Really?
00:59:18Yeah. I should have known that going to them would only lead to more drama.
00:59:22I mean, I could never trust them before.
00:59:25I don't know why I thought I could trust them now.
00:59:27Anna.
00:59:28Do you know that my mother lied to James and I?
00:59:33She said that we cheated on each other.
00:59:36What kind of mother would go out of her way to break up a high school relationship
00:59:41because what, it was such an affront to her Bible study group or whatever?
00:59:45I mean, you'd think that a little part of her would want to fight for me.
00:59:51Anna.
00:59:54Your mother acted that way because she's not your mother.
01:00:02What?
01:00:04What do you mean she's not my real mother?
01:00:06Your real mother was a teen mom who couldn't raise you on her own.
01:00:13So your parents offered to adopt you.
01:00:17And you knew about this? For how long?
01:00:19It was a closed adoption, Anna.
01:00:22Legally, I couldn't say anything until you were 18.
01:00:25What about when I wasn't 18?
01:00:29I am so sorry.
01:00:32I was so afraid if I told you the truth after all this time, I'd lose you forever.
01:00:38Becca.
01:00:40What is the truth?
01:00:42Please.
01:00:50Please.
01:00:56I'm your real mother.
01:01:00I was young and irresponsible.
01:01:04Your mother offered to keep you out of the system.
01:01:08My daughter's life was in danger.
01:01:11And you didn't tell me this?
01:01:13No, that's why I went to the doctor and told her your real family's medical history.
01:01:17And I didn't say anything when you were looking for a match because I thought you or James would be matches.
01:01:23So if James was a match, you just wouldn't have told me ever?
01:01:29Anna, there's no more secrets.
01:01:33I can get tested to save Olivia and everything can finally be normal.
01:01:37Normal?
01:01:39Are you kidding me? We never had a shot at normal, did we?
01:01:42Anna, please. I am so sorry.
01:01:47I need to go to James's right now.
01:01:50Okay? I need to be alone and I need to think about this.
01:01:54Hey, hey, hey.
01:01:57Hey, what's wrong?
01:02:02Will you promise me something?
01:02:05Anything.
01:02:09I love you.
01:02:11I love you.
01:02:13I love you.
01:02:15I love you.
01:02:17I love you.
01:02:19I love you.
01:02:21I love you.
01:02:24No more secrets.
01:02:26If there's anything that you're keeping from me from now on, will you please just tell me?
01:02:33Deal.
01:02:38Well, there is one thing.
01:02:48I love you.
01:02:54I love you too.
01:03:14Good morning.
01:03:16Do you want some coffee, James? I really want some coffee.
01:03:19You're pregnant. You can't drink coffee.
01:03:21Do you want the coffee or not?
01:03:23What is going on?
01:03:25I'm sorry.
01:03:27I'll leave you alone if that's what you want.
01:03:29I'll leave you alone forever after the transplant.
01:03:32My test results just came back.
01:03:35I'm a match.
01:03:37Oh my God.
01:03:39This is amazing.
01:03:46I'm a little surprised to find you here.
01:03:49Yeah, I just wanted to go someplace quiet until after the surgery was over.
01:03:54Good plan.
01:04:01Hey.
01:04:03Remember when we said we'd tell each other everything?
01:04:06What's going on with you and Becca?
01:04:13She's my real mom.
01:04:15Oh.
01:04:17Um.
01:04:18Yeah.
01:04:20That's a lot.
01:04:21How are you doing?
01:04:24It hurts.
01:04:27You know, when I had Olivia, I felt hopeless too, but I never
01:04:32would have given her away, especially to people who don't even care.
01:04:37Well, when you had Olivia, you had support.
01:04:40What are you talking about? I was kicked out of my house.
01:04:42And then Becca took you in.
01:04:44No questions asked.
01:04:46I mean, sure, she might have not been able to make the right decision when she was 17,
01:04:52but she stepped up so that you wouldn't have to make the same decision that she did.
01:05:03Hello?
01:05:05Okay.
01:05:07We'll be right there.
01:05:12Olivia's surgery's over.
01:05:15It was a success.
01:05:20I should come to the church more often.
01:05:27Here it is.
01:05:29The extra jello from my favorite nurse.
01:05:33Oh.
01:05:35It's you.
01:05:37How's our girl?
01:05:43Olivia's surgery was a success.
01:05:46She could come home tomorrow.
01:05:49How are you feeling?
01:05:51I know stem cells are supposed to be important, but
01:05:55to tell you the truth, I can't feel much of a difference without them.
01:06:04I love you.
01:06:08I love you too, kid.
01:06:13I love you too.
01:06:24I've said it once, and I'll say it again.
01:06:27You are definitely an Autumn, my darling.
01:06:30Well, well, well, look who's back up and running.
01:06:32It's an honor to be back.
01:06:34Where's your prettier half?
01:06:36That is with a doctor checking in on the baby.
01:06:38Is it going to be a girl or a boy?
01:06:40Well, we don't know yet. To surprise.
01:06:42If it's a surprise, then how will I know how to make the perfect gift?
01:06:47I'm sure whatever you make for the baby will be perfect.
01:06:50Yeah, maybe.
01:06:52Hey, now that I have you both here, I want to talk to you guys.
01:06:55I've been thinking a lot about your mom and us and family.
01:07:02I want to ask for your blessing.
01:07:04Oh my God, are you serious?
01:07:07Of course you're serious. Why wouldn't you be serious?
01:07:09How do you want to do it? Balloons?
01:07:10No, that's tacky. Flowers.
01:07:12Roses? You'll need roses.
01:07:15I don't get it. What's the blessing for?
01:07:18Well, when two people have been going out for a while,
01:07:22and one of them wants to get married,
01:07:25they ask the other person's parents for their blessing,
01:07:29so they can propose marriage.
01:07:31You want to marry, Mom?
01:07:33Yes, I do.
01:07:35Well, you definitely have my blessing, without a doubt.
01:07:37And I know Anna loves you with her whole heart.
01:07:40You're going to make each other so happy.
01:07:42That's very sweet, Becca.
01:07:44But there is one more person I need their blessing from.
01:07:47Me?
01:07:49Of course. You're Anna's whole world.
01:07:51If we're going to be a family,
01:07:53I want to make sure it's something that you want, too.
01:07:55Of course I want you guys to be together, Dad.
01:07:57And I have the perfect ring.
01:07:59Oh, I already bought it.
01:08:01Come on.
01:08:09It's perfect.
01:08:16James, why did you bring me here?
01:08:19Anna, these last few months have been a whirlwind.
01:08:26But being by your side, being with your family,
01:08:30our family,
01:08:32has made them
01:08:34the best months of my life.
01:08:43What's that?
01:08:45Well, I bought you a diamond.
01:08:47But Liv insisted you'd prefer pink.
01:08:51It's perfect.
01:08:53Anna, will you make me the happiest man alive
01:08:57and marry me?
01:09:00Yes.
01:09:03Come on.
01:09:09Hey, Mom.
01:09:12Did you like the ring?
01:09:14I love it.
01:09:16We're finally going to be a real family.
01:09:18I can't wait.
01:09:20You won't have to.
01:09:22I don't want to waste another moment.
01:09:24Let's get married today.
01:09:26What do you say?
01:09:28I mean, we're already in a chapel.
01:09:30I'll go find a priest.
01:09:36Given the circumstances,
01:09:39I'm assuming you're the types that would like to
01:09:42say your own vows?
01:09:47Anna,
01:09:49it's been a long road to get here.
01:09:51But no matter what the world throws at us,
01:09:54we'll always find a way to come back to each other.
01:09:57I can't wait to be a part of your family.
01:10:01I promise
01:10:03to never leave your side.
01:10:17James,
01:10:19thank you
01:10:21for your honesty
01:10:23and for your love
01:10:25and your support
01:10:26and for helping me find the strength
01:10:29to trust again.
01:10:31Even though I literally fought you every single step of the way.
01:10:38I love you.
01:10:41James,
01:10:43do you take this woman to be your wife?
01:10:45I do.
01:10:47Anna,
01:10:49do you take this man to be your husband?
01:10:51Yes.
01:10:53You may now kiss the bride.
01:11:12Now,
01:11:14time to get you out of that sheet.
01:11:16Oh, and onto these sheets.
01:11:19You are such a dork.
01:11:21Yeah, but I'm your dork forever.
01:11:27I love you.
01:11:29I love you too.
01:11:34God, I never want to go back to that hospital ever again.
01:11:39We got a baby coming through.
01:11:40Move, move, move. Everybody go.
01:11:42Hey, it's okay.
01:11:43Baby coming through. Here we go.
