00:16Oh, you can't?

00:17Let me help you then.

00:18Along with that confetti,

00:20all my plans and dreams came crashing down

00:23because those balloons held a secret

00:26that would change my life forever.

00:30Sorry.

00:33Seems like you're having a girl.

00:35Not me.

00:41Boss?

00:42Honey, was it a balloon?

00:45Who the hell did this?

00:47She did.

00:51What?

00:52Yeah.

00:54Yeah, I did it.

00:56Because it was mine, my balloon.

00:59I'm pregnant too.

01:01You're pregnant.

01:02Yeah.

01:03Yeah, it's such a nonsense.

01:05Everybody knows you're single.

01:07No, I have a boyfriend.

01:11Right here.

01:12I'm...

01:13I'm not...

01:14Baby.

01:15Baby, I'm so happy we're gonna have a girl.

01:27Two gender reveals in one day.

01:29Wait.

01:30But...

01:31If that was your balloon,

01:33where's ours, darling?

01:35I'm gonna call the delivery guy because this is nonsense.

01:37Oh, no need.

01:38No need.

01:39I'll handle everything.

01:40I'm your assistant.

01:41Everything will be fine.

01:42Don't worry.

01:43I'll handle everything.

01:44What the hell?

01:45You're playing my boyfriend.

01:46I'll pay you whatever you want.

01:49Everyone has to believe that I'm pregnant and I'm having a girl.

01:52Okay?

01:53Okay.

01:54Two girls.

01:57Why two?

02:02Hey.

02:03I was missing you already, little princess.

02:06Thanks for watching her.

02:07Yeah, sure.

02:08You're okay.

02:10Wait, wait, wait.

02:12I don't need two daughters.

02:14I only need one.

02:15Well...

02:16Good luck with that.

02:17Okay, wait.

02:18Wait, two?

02:19Okay.

02:20Just...

02:21Take off that stupid jacket, please.

02:24What makes you think I won't play in your game?

02:27I don't care what you need.

02:28So leave me and my daughter alone.

02:31But...

02:32No, wait.

02:34And just when I was about to hit rock bottom, I was saved.

02:39By a rabbit.

02:41Well, you're that sweet girl's mom, right?

15:31Feeling every silence, every touch, every glance.

15:37I didn't even notice when he became more.

15:43And just a stranger.

15:47Do you have a dream?

15:49Yeah, I dream of getting her hearing back.

15:53I want her to hear that birds, music, laughter.

15:58Is it possible?

16:00Yeah, it takes a lot of money.

16:03Even then, there is no guarantee.

16:06Enough about that.

16:08Okay.

16:09What's your dream?

16:10You know, until today, all of my dreams were about my job.

16:16But now...

16:18Now what?

16:19Now it's like all of my old dreams disappeared.

16:22But I don't know yet what the new ones are.

16:28The truth is, I did know.

16:35I was just too scared to say it out loud to him or even to myself.

16:42And then the morning came.

16:44Okay.

16:44Is that okay?

17:00That means good.

17:02Yeah.

17:02Hmm.

17:03Oh, uh, I'll get the door.

17:18Can you keep an eye on the pancake, honey?

17:20I'll just...

17:22I mean...

17:24Yeah.

17:25I'll keep an eye on the pancake, honey.

17:28Okay.

17:29It smells amazing, Fiona.

17:45Hope we're not too early.

17:47Wow.

17:48The perfect moment juggling everything.

17:52Uh, didn't you tell your other half we were dropping by?

17:57Fiona, I hope you at least told him about your promotion.

18:02Well, uh, it's great to have you here, but...

18:06Olivia and I, we were just...

18:07Liv, I'm sorry.

18:11Please don't go.

18:12Please let me explain.

18:14What's to explain?

18:16Your career is more important than anything.

18:19I already knew that.

18:20And now I just know how much that...

18:23Yes.

18:23Yes, I did it all for myself.

18:27For my job.

18:28But it was back then, before I...

18:30Don't.

18:31Please, don't say it.

18:32You already got everything you wanted.

18:34No need to lie anymore.

18:38You know, I spent my whole life dreaming of getting Olivia...

18:43her hearing back.

18:44But now...

18:46I'm glad that she can hear this.

18:49So you're not actually a family?

18:51No.

19:00I knew it.

19:01I knew this all along.

19:04You are one ruthless, career-obsessed woman with no principles.

19:11Yeah.

19:13You're right.

19:14Everything that you've ever told me about me was right.

19:18But it was before I met them.

19:21Do you know what I realized just now?

19:24If you can step on people like that...

19:28That's exactly what I want for this position.

19:31Yes.

19:31You do deserve it.

19:33And even if I can't stand you, the job is still yours.

19:36Well...

19:38You've got it when you want it.

19:43No, wait.

19:44I'm resigning.

19:58Oh, come on.

19:59Don't be ridiculous, Fianna.

20:01You've worked so hard to get it.

20:03And I've lost everything because of it.

20:08Oh, I know.

20:09You want more money, right?

20:11I can pay you more.

20:12I want all of my bonuses paid.

20:14And I want both of you out of my house now.

20:27Hi.

20:28Why are you here?

20:30If that's because of the money I already told you over the phone,

20:33then I won't take them back.

20:35It's for Olivia.

20:36Olivia, so I don't want to hear anything.

20:40Bye.

20:47If you let me speak,

20:50you really want to hear this.

20:55She won't know.

20:56She...

21:01Yeah.

21:03She can hear.

21:07Thanks to you.

21:08Oh, my God.

21:10I'm so happy.

21:13I'm so happy.

21:16I'm not.

21:17Why not?

21:22It was your dream.

21:25Sometimes,

21:26when a dream comes true,

21:29it means another one can't.

21:31What's that?

21:33To be with you.

21:34You have no idea

21:36how alone I'm dreamt about this.

21:38It's your dream.
