00:02:00what happened you know becca how to cheat on your girlfriend and move a thousand miles away and
00:02:07start blocking her phone calls wasn't exactly in the lesson plan so i am so sorry anna
00:02:12it's been almost nine years there's so much i wanted to tell him about you know i haven't even
00:02:20had the chance to tell him about about what mom
00:02:22she forgot to tell you about a very special dessert we have planned for after dinner
00:02:32cupcakes i don't know we're gonna have to wait and see
00:02:36sweet mom can we meet on the couch absolutely just give me a second okay
00:02:42you my friend are the best honorary mom my girl could ask for anything for my perfect class-cutting
00:02:52honorary daughter
00:02:53you know the best thing my mom did was break up with james for me
00:03:00cruel as she is she always knew he was bad news
00:03:04anna i know you have a lot of complicated feelings about james
00:03:08but you need to tell him about olivia she's his daughter it's only right
00:03:14mom where are you i'm coming sweetie
00:03:19i am not telling him anything
00:03:24look who decided to join listen i don't know why you're here why you're deciding to torture me
00:03:38but i can assure you me being here has nothing to do with you this class is important to me
00:03:43just please promise me you'll behave yourself
00:03:50mr chapman
00:04:07you all right never better let's talk about my favorite part of business
00:04:15the customer there is no more important relationship than the one that you share
00:04:21with your customer and how do you gain the trust of a customer
00:04:25honesty
00:04:27brand loyalty is a two-way street they give us our business and in return we provide a consistent
00:04:36positive experience
00:04:38but they're not always with us
00:04:40so the question remains
00:04:42how do we show that we care from afar
00:04:46consistent communication
00:04:49are you kidding me
00:04:50this is a safe place for discussion
00:04:57actually you know what i think we could all benefit from a healthy debate
00:05:02anna was it would you mind coming up here please
00:05:05not at all
00:05:07so you disagree with my thesis
00:05:13well no
00:05:14i think communicating with your customers regularly is essential
00:05:18oh well that was a short
00:05:20i do believe that your love for your customers is
00:05:23disingenuous
00:05:25disingenuous
00:05:26it means insincere
00:05:28i know what it means
00:05:28i'll have you know my love for customers is not only built on honesty
00:05:31but genuine compassion
00:05:33yeah
00:05:33a weekly meme filled newsletter always makes me feel loved
00:05:37well it seems to work for my company
00:05:39we've seen an exponential increase in first-time users this past quarter
00:05:42what about your long-term users
00:05:43what do you do to maintain your customers who have supported you for years
00:05:47you 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
00:05:55i think any loyal customer will find my company very easy to reach
00:06:00this is your customer service line
00:06:03i've been on hold for almost five minutes and i still haven't spoken to a single human being
00:06:08is that how you show your care
00:06:10you know growth doesn't mean anything
00:06:18when you abandon the people who got you there
00:06:20i think that's a fair point
00:06:24very well
00:06:26argued
00:06:27and exactly
00:06:30the kind of well-researched and confident points
00:06:32that i like to see in the boardroom
00:06:33let's give it up for anna
00:06:34all right i think we all learned something today
00:06:42and i think
00:06:43you know i think we can end class early
00:06:49yeah good work
00:06:51anna anna wait up
00:07:05what
00:07:06i want to talk to you

00:09:47but i'm definitely not telling him about olivia now
00:09:49why not
00:09:50because he's an asshole

00:09:55from one of her stupid corporate retreat he's on
00:09:57anna
00:09:57you're the one juggling two jobs and a college degree

00:10:08you're happy
00:10:09you barely get enough sleep to function
00:10:11you're stretching yourself far too thin
00:10:14it's okay to take a little help from the millionaire
00:10:17this is not about money
00:10:18this is about whether or not james can actually commit to something
00:10:21you know i can't even imagine james getting through one round of candy land with olivia
00:10:25it's it's not worth the trouble
00:10:27i can't risk her getting really close to him and getting her hopes up just for him to
00:10:31take off when times get tough
00:10:35anna
00:10:36are we still talking about olivia or are we talking about you
00:10:40she was cute

00:21:58Olivia, I have something to tell you, okay?
00:22:07James is not just my friend.
00:22:10He is also your fogger.
00:22:13Oh, my God.
00:22:14This is amazing.
00:22:17I have so much to catch you up on.
00:22:20Do you read?
00:22:21Because I have a lot of recommendations.
00:22:24Oh, I can't wait to hear them.
00:22:26You know, I have a feeling you're my dad.
00:22:28When I was asking all these questions, you were scratching your ear.
00:22:31And I do that, too.
00:22:33I'm nervous.
00:22:34Do Grandma and Grandpa do that?
00:22:35Do Grandma and Grandpa even want to be called Grandma and Grandpa?
00:22:38Maybe Gigi and Papa.
00:22:40This is so surreal.
00:22:41She looks so happy.
00:22:43Isn't it nice to stop keeping secrets for once?
00:22:48I guess you're right.
00:22:49James!
00:22:50Astrid, how did you find me?
00:22:53Well, you were an hour late to lunch.
00:22:55I thought to check the location, and it said you were in the hospital.
00:22:59I was worried sick.
00:23:01I'm sorry.
00:23:01Everything happened so fast.
00:23:04You could have been dead.
00:23:06I'm sorry.
00:23:07I had to take Anna to the hospital.
00:23:09We had to make sure Olivia was okay.
00:23:11Olivia, who's...
00:23:12Hi.
00:23:13Hello.
00:23:16Ooh.
00:23:17Oh.
00:23:18Wow.
00:23:20Friendly.
00:23:21At least we found a new babysitter.
00:23:25Well, now that this one's all happy, shouldn't we be going?
00:23:33Um, listen, you can head out whenever, but I need to stick around.
00:23:38Um, James, don't you think you're kind of intruding on family time?
00:23:44I should...
00:23:45Can we talk outside?
00:23:47A child, James?
00:23:51You have a child?
00:23:53Astrid, I'm sorry.
00:23:54I just found out today.
00:23:55I was going to tell you later tonight.
00:23:56Oh, yeah.
00:23:57I'm sure you would have.
00:23:59It's a lot to process, I know.
00:24:00I mean, I'm still processing it myself.
00:24:04Oh, my God.
00:24:04This cannot be happening.
00:24:06It's not going to be easy.
00:24:09But she's a really special kid.
00:24:12Let me guess.
00:24:15You're paying for everything?
00:24:17I offered.
00:24:18Oh, my God.
00:24:19You are so gullible.
00:24:21It's embarrassing.
00:24:22What are you talking about?
00:24:23So the woman who broke up with you in high school
00:24:26all of a sudden needs a ton of money for a sick kid
00:24:30days after she finds out you're a millionaire.
00:24:34Don't you think this is a little convenient?
00:24:37Anna wouldn't do that.
00:24:40How do you know, James?
00:24:42I mean, you knew her in high school.
00:24:46You don't know what kind of person she is now.
00:24:48I can't believe you would say this.
00:24:50My child is sick.
00:24:53Your child.
00:24:54Wasn't she with someone else when you two were together?
00:24:59I mean, how do you even know she's yours?
00:25:02Dad, do you want to join us?
00:25:15We just started a new game.
00:25:16Not right now, Olivia.
00:25:17Anna, can I see what's at?
00:25:23Well, she likes you.
00:25:25Anna, I...
00:25:27Oh, really?
00:25:28Yeah.
00:25:28Well, actually, what she said is she thinks you're smart,
00:25:31which for her is the highest praise you could receive.
00:25:33Well, I'm honored, but, um...
00:25:34But what?
00:25:35Running away from us already?
00:25:41James?
00:25:42I think...
00:25:43we need to take a paternity test.
00:25:45Are you kidding me?
00:25:48I just think we need to make sure,
00:25:49especially if medical histories are going to be effective.
00:25:51Oh, my God.
00:25:51Oh, my God, I knew you were going to do this.
00:25:53Of course you're doing this.
00:25:54I just think logically...
00:25:54Logically?
00:25:55No, logically, you would not have waited until after you told my...
00:25:59our kid before you started pulling this shit.
00:26:01I'm not pulling anything.
00:26:02I just think it's all a little...
00:26:03A little what?
00:26:04No, no, a little what?
00:26:05Suspicious?
00:26:06Do you think I'm lying to you for some free blood tests?
00:26:08Who else would it fucking be?
00:26:10I don't know how many losers from our hometown
00:26:11you used to spend your little nights with, Anna,
00:26:13but maybe none of them run a corporation.
00:26:15You're disgusting.
00:26:17You know, the only reason I told you any of this
00:26:19was for the well-being of my daughter?
00:26:22I do not want your money.
00:26:24I will take care of this like I take care of everything else.
00:26:26Go take your stupid test.
00:26:27I don't care.
00:26:45Dr. Sherman.
00:27:03I'm the father, aren't I?
00:27:08Anna.
00:27:08Jesus, James, what are you doing here?
00:27:10I went to the hospital, but they said...
00:27:11Yeah, they cleared us to go home, so we went home.
00:27:16I was such an asshole.
00:27:19So you got the results back, huh?
00:27:21I'm sorry I even questioned it.
00:27:24With everything you're going through, I'm...
00:27:26I'm sorry.
00:27:28Well, if Olivia's happy, I'm happy.
00:27:35I'm so happy to be here, Dad.
00:27:38I really am.
00:27:40And I promise...
00:27:43I will be as much of a part of her life as you want me to be.
00:27:47What's wrong with you?
00:27:55Wait, stop.
00:27:55I don't know.
00:27:56I don't know what's happening.
00:27:59I'm sorry.
00:28:00I think it's just been...
00:28:01A lot.
00:28:03I know.
00:28:13It's getting late, James.
00:28:14I think you should go home.
00:28:17Oh, God.
00:28:41James won't stop texting me about spending a day with Olivia.
00:28:43This time, his excuse was it would give me time to focus.
00:28:46Not studying.
00:28:47Wouldn't it?
00:28:48Well, of course it would.
00:28:49But I'm not going to cart Olivia off to her father.
00:28:52Anna.
00:28:54Sweetie, it's been weeks.
00:28:56He's obviously sticking around.
00:28:58Come on.
00:29:00When was the last time you took any time off?
00:29:05I mean, I guess you're right.
00:29:09Okay, fine.
00:29:11Fine.
00:29:12You win.
00:29:12Hey, she loves Candyland.
00:29:19Or should we teach her Monopoly?
00:29:21Is Monopoly too mean of a game?
00:29:24What about...
00:29:25Solitaire?
00:29:29What?
00:29:30I'm kidding.
00:29:32Thank you for being so supportive with all this.
00:29:35I know it's been a lot, but...
00:29:36I really think Olivia's going to love our new home.
00:29:40Yeah, I'm surprised you actually committed to buying this place.
00:29:44It's such a podunk town.
00:29:47Why?
00:29:50Sweetie, New York City's our home.
00:29:53This is just a place for you to play Dad a couple times a year.
00:29:59This is not a part-time thing, Astrid.
00:30:02I fully intend to be a part of Olivia's life.
00:30:07Oh, James.
00:30:09I love you, but you are not Dad material.
00:30:14You're going to get sick of this in, like, a couple hours.
00:30:18She's my daughter, Astrid.
00:30:19I'm not going anywhere.
00:30:23It's really important to me that you try to connect with her.
00:30:27You will try, won't you?
00:30:29Mm-hmm.
00:30:33So it's a magical school where your powers come from what instruments you play.
00:30:38The violinists are the popular kids.
00:30:40But Julie, our protagonist, she's an orphan, by the way.
00:30:44She plays the oboe.
00:30:47Uh-huh.
00:30:49Hey, how about music?
00:30:52Do you like music?
00:30:53I bet you're a Swifty.
00:30:57Favorite era?
00:30:59Favorite what?
00:31:06Okay.
00:31:07So, these are for the morning, before any food.
00:31:10Uh, this is once every four hours if she mentions any pain.
00:31:13Got it.
00:31:14Now, what about these?
00:31:15This is for the evening, okay?
00:31:17Um, with food.
00:31:20Wait, wait, wait.
00:31:22Hang on.
00:31:25No, this is in the morning before food.
00:31:27This is...
00:31:29What is happening?
00:31:29I literally labeled these so that I could organize them, and I think that they're all messed up.
00:31:32And it's...
00:31:33It's okay.
00:31:33No, it's actually not okay, because I actually can't mess this up.
00:31:37It's just, like, so much.
00:31:39I know, I know.
00:31:40Hey, take a breather.
00:31:42Okay?
00:31:42If we can...
00:31:43Sweat these out in a minute.
00:31:44You're doing great.
00:31:45Okay.
00:31:45I'm sorry.
00:31:59It's just been so non-stop.
00:32:01I know.
00:32:03Olivia's so lucky to have you.
00:32:10James?
00:32:10Join me in the bedroom.
00:32:14Now.
00:32:16Yeah.
00:32:17Yeah.
00:32:21We need to talk.
00:32:30I didn't sign up for this.
00:32:33It's too much.
00:32:34You must see.
00:32:35It's too much.
00:32:36It's an adjustment for all of us.
00:32:38I'm sorry I don't fit into your perfect little fairy tale,
00:32:43but I don't want to end up being some evil stepmother.
00:32:47I mean, you could be a nice stepmother.
00:32:49You're missing the point.
00:32:50I don't want to be any kind of stepmother.
00:32:57We talked about this.
00:33:00We didn't want kids.
00:33:03We've planned the whole life together.
00:33:05You're just going to throw all of that out the window
00:33:09for some fling you had when you were a teenager?
00:33:11You know it's more than that, Astrid.
00:33:14And I'm sorry.
00:33:15I know this was completely different than anything we were expecting,
00:33:18but they're my family.
00:33:20You can play perfect family.
00:33:34That's fine.
00:33:37But I'm not going to be a part of it.
00:33:40You have to choose.
00:33:43Me or them.
00:33:45Don't make me choose, Astrid.
00:33:53Oh, my God.
00:33:56I'm sorry.
00:33:59You can't be serious.
00:34:02After everything we built together,
00:34:04you're just going to choose a stranger.
00:34:06She's my daughter, Astrid.
00:34:08I've already missed so many years of her life.
00:34:10I can't miss any more.
00:34:11You promised me forever.
00:34:15And I still do.
00:34:18So let's make it work.
00:34:20Let's be a family.
00:34:21We can all be together.
00:34:22All of us together?
00:34:24You mean Anna, too?
00:34:26Of course.
00:34:27She's Olivia's mother.
00:34:28So I just have to hang out with your ex
00:34:30for the rest of my life?
00:34:32There is nothing going on between us.
00:34:34I'm not going to stick around
00:34:41and hope that you're right.
00:34:47Goodbye, James.
00:34:51We're done.
00:34:57Sorry she left this,
00:34:58but thank you for taking such good care of it.
00:35:01Absolutely.
00:35:01Yeah.
00:35:04So how'd it go?
00:35:06We had so much fun.
00:35:07She took all her meds
00:35:08and she kicked my butt of Candyland.
00:35:11Yes, she's very good at that.
00:35:12Yeah.
00:35:14So what test did you have today?
00:35:16Financial accounting.
00:35:17Oh, God.
00:35:19So we'll be pouring the good stuff then, huh?
00:35:27What happened between you and Astrid?
00:35:29I saw her storming out.
00:35:31Honestly,
00:35:33it's over.
00:35:35Oh, my God.
00:35:37I'm so sorry.
00:35:39It's okay.
00:35:41You know, for so long,
00:35:43I tried to convince myself
00:35:43I didn't want kids
00:35:44because Astrid didn't.
00:35:49It made me wonder
00:35:50how many other things
00:35:51I convinced myself I wanted
00:35:52because of Astrid.
00:35:58You know what?
00:36:00Let's open that wine.
00:36:01I mean, she really is
00:36:05just like you.
00:36:07Very sure of what she wants.
00:36:09Every round of Candyland
00:36:10included a 10-step plan
00:36:11to ensure victory.
00:36:13You know, people think
00:36:14that it's all luck.
00:36:17Really, there's so much more strategy.
00:36:18You know,
00:36:23she's actually a lot like you, too.
00:36:27She is.
00:36:30She's really good at picking up tension in a room
00:36:32and diffusing it.
00:36:34Like, any time that I'm stressed,
00:36:36she finds a way to make me laugh.
00:36:38So.
00:36:39Funny.
00:36:40I thought I was always
00:36:41the one causing stress.
00:36:42Did you really think
00:36:49that Astrid was the one?
00:36:51Like, how did you know?
00:36:55I don't know.
00:36:57I guess I was just
00:36:58comfortable with her.
00:37:00And then time went on
00:37:01and I was still
00:37:03comfortable with her.
00:37:05So we just...
00:37:09Holly's the romantic.
00:37:10What about you?
00:37:13Anybody ever...
00:37:14No, no, no, no.
00:37:16Never.
00:37:19Although,
00:37:21that was a high school boyfriend.
00:37:22Oh.
00:37:23Yeah.
00:37:23But he was so good at everything
00:37:25that I just...
00:37:26No one could ever compare.
00:37:27Hey.
00:37:28Hey.
00:37:29I tried my best.
00:37:31Okay?
00:37:31I did a lot of Cosmo articles.
00:37:33Oh, Cosmo articles.
00:37:35You know,
00:37:35that was probably
00:37:36the first time in your life
00:37:37you ever did your own research.
00:37:38I had some moves.
00:37:39All right?
00:37:40Like, watch this.
00:37:40Ready?
00:37:41Mm-hmm.
00:37:50Nothing.
00:37:50Was that like...
00:37:51That was the whole move?
00:37:53Yeah.
00:37:54It's like...
00:37:55Okay.
00:37:55It's like I'm looking
00:37:56at your lips.
00:37:57Okay.
00:37:57Right?
00:37:58Uh-huh.
00:37:58And you're like,
00:37:59oh my God.
00:38:01Does he want to kiss me
00:38:02right now?
00:38:03What does this mean?
00:38:04It's mysterious.
00:38:05It's cool.
00:38:06It's very,
00:38:07very cool.
00:38:08So what has it done?
00:38:20Hmm?
00:38:24Do you want to kiss me?
00:38:25Was that okay?
00:38:37Okay, or...
00:38:39Wait.
00:38:49How's that going too fast?
00:38:50No.
00:38:57You taste the same.
00:39:00So do you.
00:39:00Late in the evening
00:39:10When the stars come out
00:39:15It's just me and him
00:39:19In a perfect moment
00:39:21That I can't live without
00:39:25Hey, Mother Nature
00:39:28I need a favor from you
00:39:31Oh, sunrise
00:39:35Promise you'll take your time
00:39:41If you kiss the sky
00:39:44With your golden light
00:39:46I'm not ready to call it
00:39:49I'm not ready to call it a night
00:39:50So sunrise
00:39:52No need to rise
00:39:58The warmth of his touch
00:40:01Is more than enough
00:40:03I think I've fallen in love
00:40:06Sunrise
00:40:08Hey, morning
00:40:20Um, it's actually getting a little late
00:40:22I think
00:40:22I think I need to go
00:40:24Anna
00:40:26Is everything okay?
00:40:29Yeah
00:40:30That was fun
00:40:32Obviously
00:40:33But don't we owe it to ourselves
00:40:35To be like
00:40:35A little responsible here?
00:40:38We were drunk
00:40:39You just got out of a relationship
00:40:41With a woman
00:40:41That you were about to marry
00:40:42Anna, you're not some random woman
00:40:44I met at a bar last night
00:40:45We have a history too
00:40:46A history of making each other miserable
00:40:48You're scared
00:40:50Is that what this is about?
00:40:53I...
00:40:53Come on
00:40:53Can't you just admit
00:40:54That this is too messy
00:40:55For my daughter?
00:40:56Our daughter
00:40:57Anna, are you seriously
00:41:01Not gonna...
00:41:01It's the hospital
00:41:02Hello?
00:41:05Yes?
00:41:06Okay
00:41:07Uh, we'll be right there
00:41:08What's wrong?
00:41:11They found something
00:41:12I was looking through Olivia's blood work
00:41:16And we noticed some irregularities
00:41:18In the hemoglobin levels
00:41:19Of her red blood cells
00:41:20Is it cancer?
00:41:22No
00:41:23But based on the other tests
00:41:24And James' family history
00:41:25It is looking like
00:41:27A rare blood disease
00:41:28Called thalassemia
00:41:29Is she...
00:41:31What does that mean?
00:41:32Her body's having trouble
00:41:33Creating oxygen in her blood
00:41:35She'll need a blood transfusion
00:41:36As soon as possible
00:41:38How soon?
00:41:39Tonight
00:41:39We're getting it through this together
00:41:44No, James, James
00:41:47I'm sorry
00:41:49There is so much going on right now
00:41:51I can't think about us two
00:41:54I just need to be alone
00:41:56I just need to be alone right now
00:41:57Can you just go?
00:42:01Honey
00:42:06You look like shit
00:42:25Wow
00:42:26Thank you
00:42:28You need to sleep too, you know
00:42:35You can't just stare at her forever
00:42:37Yeah
00:42:38Well, she's gone
00:42:40She's got me
00:42:42And
00:42:43Her father
00:42:45No
00:42:45No, no, no
00:42:47It's too complicated
00:42:48Enlighten me
00:42:50We hooked up
00:42:54Oh my god
00:42:55She is sleeping
00:42:56This is incredible
00:42:58No
00:42:59No, it's not
00:42:59It's incredibly messy
00:43:01He just got in a relationship
00:43:02With someone who was real
00:43:03Becca
00:43:03She was
00:43:06It doesn't matter what she was
00:43:09I'm not gonna be anyone's rebound
00:43:11I think if we look at the full timeline
00:43:13She was the real rebound
00:43:15God, you are enjoying this way too much
00:43:18Just want you to be happy
00:43:20It's a drunken one-time thing
00:43:24We were caught up in a moment
00:43:25It was a huge mistake
00:43:26Sounds like a fun mistake
00:43:28You know, he already abandoned us once before
00:43:32Who's to say he's not gonna do that again?
00:43:35I need to show you something
00:43:36Follow me
00:43:38James
00:43:55James
00:43:56Hey
00:43:57Hey
00:43:58What happened?
00:43:59How's Olivia?
00:44:00She's fine
00:44:01Yeah, the treatment went really well
00:44:03She's just resting
00:44:04Oh, good
00:44:05Thank God
00:44:06How long have you been here for?
00:44:11I haven't left
00:44:12Oh, James
00:44:15Come on
00:44:17Okay, look
00:44:17This whole camp out
00:44:18Grand romantic gesture thing
00:44:19It's
00:44:20It's very cute
00:44:21But just be real with me
00:44:23This is not what you want
00:44:25Of course it is
00:44:27I want you, Anna
00:44:29It's always been you
00:44:31No, it hasn't
00:44:32How could you say that to me
00:44:33After you cheated on me?
00:44:34Well, what?
00:44:36Cheated on you?
00:44:37When?
00:44:37Who said that?
00:44:40And you're sure it was him?
00:44:43Yes, sweetie
00:44:44Right there in the middle of the mall
00:44:47Like he didn't even care who saw them together
00:44:49But I
00:44:52He loves me
00:44:56You know, I always said
00:45:00There was something wrong with that boy
00:45:02I'm sorry, honey
00:45:04I wish I wasn't right about this
00:45:07Mom, I don't know what to do
00:45:11I don't want to see him ever again
00:45:14Don't worry, honey
00:45:17I'll take care of it
00:45:19There's someone else
00:45:36From church
00:45:37Someone actually worth the time
00:45:39Oh my god
00:45:52I cannot believe she lied to me like that
00:45:55I know she never liked me in the first place
00:45:57But
00:45:58This is next level
00:45:59And she went through all of that
00:46:01Just to kick me out of the house
00:46:02Like
00:46:02A month later
00:46:04I can't believe she would do that to me
00:46:06I can't believe I would be so stupid
00:46:09Hey
00:46:10Trusting your mother as a child
00:46:12Is not stupid
00:46:13But it ruined everything
00:46:15Maybe it didn't
00:46:18Oh, no
00:46:19James
00:46:19James, come on
00:46:20I think this is probably a bad idea
00:46:22Maybe it is
00:46:23But
00:46:24There's clearly a connection between us
00:46:26We owe it to ourselves to try again
00:46:29But what about
00:46:32Exactly
00:46:35I mean, what's stopping us
00:46:37Your fiancé
00:46:38Ex-fiancé
00:46:40Who dumped me partially because of her fear of Olivia
00:46:43But mostly
00:46:45Because of the way I look at you
00:46:48But what about
00:46:49The cheating
00:46:50That didn't happen
00:46:52You are my professor
00:46:57For the semester
00:46:58Well then
00:47:03I guess I have no more excuses
00:47:08Good
00:47:12But
00:47:15We're gonna have to be
00:47:19Really
00:47:20Thoughtful about this
00:47:24Definitely
00:47:25Yeah
00:47:27Of course
00:47:28We're gonna take this
00:47:30Really
00:47:31Slowly
00:47:33Right?
00:47:36Mm-hmm
00:47:36Like
00:47:37A snail's pace
00:47:40Well, I'll follow your lead
00:47:43Step
00:47:46By
00:47:48Step
00:47:49Step
00:47:50Step
00:47:51Step
00:47:53Step
00:47:54Step
00:47:55Step
00:47:56Step
00:47:57Step
00:47:58Step
00:47:59Step
00:48:00Step
00:48:01Step
00:48:02Step
00:48:03Step
00:48:04Step
00:48:05Step
00:48:06Step
00:48:07Step
00:48:08Step
00:48:09Step
00:48:10Step
00:48:11Step
00:48:12Step
00:48:13Step
00:48:14Step
00:48:15Step
00:48:16Step
00:48:17Step
00:48:18Nice and slow.
00:48:48My god, James.
00:48:56Did you bring a...
00:48:57It's your phone.
00:49:02So let me just talk to her.
00:49:04I hope I wasn't interrupting anything.
00:49:06No. Nothing. Not at all.
00:49:09Is everything okay?
00:49:11The transfusion was successful, but it's not enough.
00:49:14She'll have to keep getting them unless we treat the root cause of the problem.
00:49:18Anything would be better than having an 8-year-old go back and forth from the hospital again and again.
00:49:22Exactly.
00:49:24If you want, I can put her on a waiting list for a stem cell transplant,
00:49:28which should eliminate any more future transfusions.
00:49:31That would be incredible. How long is the wait?
00:49:32Another 10 months to a year.
00:49:34Jesus, that long?
00:49:35Finding a donor to match takes a lot of time.
00:49:39Our best shot at finding anybody quickly is to receive a donation from a family member.
00:49:43So, this is the kitchen, in case you forgot.
00:49:52I know where the kitchen is, Becca.
00:49:55Just wanted to check since it seems like you've been at James' every night for the past month.
00:50:00It's been that long?
00:50:01Wow. I don't even know what day the weekend is.
00:50:04Has the hospital called?
00:50:05Did you get the results back?
00:50:06Not yet.
00:50:08James really wants to be the one to do it, but I got tested too, of course.
00:50:13I really hope one of us is a match.
00:50:15I don't know what we're going to do if we're not.
00:50:17It's going to work.
00:50:19And Olivia will be out of the hospital in no time.
00:50:21I don't know how I could do any of this without you.
00:50:31You're going to make me cry.
00:50:34Let's eat.
00:50:36Come on.
00:50:38A lot of pickles in here.
00:50:41And watermelon?
00:50:43Yeah, I don't know.
00:50:44My diet's been really off lately.
00:50:46I've just been craving a lot of pickles and watermelon.
00:50:48It's kind of weird, right?
00:50:49Sweetie.
00:50:54Not pregnant.
00:50:55Maybe it's just stress that's making you buy four bags of triple sour gummy worms.
00:51:01Jesus, Anna.
00:51:02Olivia's going to be really excited.
00:51:03She's always wanted a sibling.
00:51:05And at least this time you won't be raising them by yourself.
00:51:07You'll have James.
00:51:08Shit, what am I going to tell James?
00:51:10James is crazy about you.
00:51:13He'll support you no matter what.
00:51:14Are you sure about that?
00:51:16We just now found a sense of normalcy.
00:51:18I know all this new shit's happening.
00:51:20I honestly, I can't take on anything else.
00:51:27It's positive.
00:51:29Well, aren't you two just a recipe for fertility?
00:51:32Here we go.
00:51:38Okay.
00:51:39All right.
00:51:39I'm not peaking.
00:51:41All right.
00:51:42You ready?
00:51:43Yes.
00:51:47Oh, James.
00:51:49This is very sweet.
00:51:51It's been three months since you came back into my life.
00:51:54I want to celebrate.
00:51:55Okay.
00:51:56Okay.
00:51:56Um, I actually have something I really want to talk to you about, too.
00:51:59So.
00:52:00All right.
00:52:01A little wine for the lady?
00:52:02Oh, no.
00:52:06Okay.
00:52:07Um, well, I did get some of your favorite sushi.
00:52:09Yeah, I can't have any of that either.
00:52:13Can't.
00:52:15Um, okay.
00:52:16I can whip us up a little charcuterie gourd.
00:52:18James, stop.
00:52:27I'm pregnant.
00:52:35I don't know what to say.
00:52:37Right.
00:52:37Of course.
00:52:37Because this was so unplanned.
00:52:39I know.
00:52:39And it's really okay if you don't want to be a part of it at all.
00:52:42It's completely fine.
00:52:43Well, so is that a goodbye forever kiss, or?
00:52:49Yeah.
00:52:51I'm not going anywhere.
00:53:02A little brother or sister?
00:53:04This is the best day of my life.
00:53:06Just wait till the baby gets here.
00:53:08I'm going to be the best big sister in the world.
00:53:11I promise.
00:53:11I know you will, honey.
00:53:14I'm not going to be one of those bossy big sisters.
00:53:16This baby is going to be my best friend.
00:53:19I'm going to read them all my favorite books.
00:53:21It's going to be perfect.
00:53:23Sorry to interrupt.
00:53:24James, Anna, may I see you in the hall for a moment?
00:53:30We got your results back for the stem cell transplant.
00:53:34Neither of you can donate.
00:53:37Oh, okay.
00:53:38Well, we're her parents.
00:53:39So genetically, one of us must be a match.
00:53:41Well, technically, Anna is a match.
00:53:43Then what's the problem?
00:53:44Performing this procedure while you're pregnant would be dangerous to both you and the baby.
00:53:47I can't recommend it.
00:53:49Okay, well, what are our options?
00:53:50I mean, wait on the wait list for years?
00:53:52Since Anna is a match, our best bet is to do testing on relatives.
00:53:55Do you have any siblings?
00:53:57None.
00:53:58Could you reach out to your parents?
00:53:59No.
00:54:07There's, there's, there's no way that I'm talking to my parents.
00:54:10Look, I know this is hard for you, but...
00:54:12But what?
00:54:13I can't go to the woman who, at 17 years old, kicked me out of my own house,
00:54:17and the man who just stood there and watched it all happen.
00:54:20Think about Olivia.
00:54:21I am thinking about Olivia.
00:54:22Olivia, I'm always thinking about Olivia.
00:54:27Olivia is everything that's good in this world.
00:54:31I don't want my parents anywhere near her.
00:54:34I don't want my parents anywhere near any of my children.
00:54:38Listen, you know I'm not a fan of your parents either.
00:54:41But we can't let our baggage get in the way of our daughter's treatment.
00:54:52I just can't believe that after everything that they've done,
00:54:57I'm going to have to come crawling back to them and ask them for something.
00:55:02But you won't have to do it alone.
00:55:05I'll be by your side the whole time.
00:55:08Okay?
00:55:08Okay?
00:55:11You ready?
00:55:22No.
00:55:23It's okay.
00:55:24We can wait.
00:55:28What did Becca say when you told her you were coming here?
00:55:31Oh, God, I didn't tell her anything.
00:55:33Yeah, if she knew we were coming here,
00:55:34she'd probably spray paint the word traitor on the front door.
00:55:37Fair.
00:55:38Fair.
00:55:41Maybe it was like a few steps to the door?
00:55:44Great, yeah.
00:55:44Okay.
00:55:45Okay.
00:55:51I know.
00:55:52Oh, you meant like right away?
00:55:54I know.
00:55:56You're the strongest person I know.
00:55:58If anybody can handle this, it's you.
00:56:00What if they say no?
00:56:02And when have you ever turned down a debate?
00:56:05Okay.
00:56:05You're right about that.
00:56:07Okay.
00:56:08Let's do this.
00:56:09Yeah.
00:56:23There's a car in the driveway.
00:56:25Yeah, they must be home.
00:56:26Hello?
00:56:31Hello?
00:56:33Maybe they went for a walk or something?
00:56:36I know you're in there.
00:56:42Maybe we should just go.
00:56:43No.
00:56:43Do you know what?
00:56:43I'm so sick of doing everything on her terms.
00:56:46Hey, you ruined my life!
00:56:49I hope that you know that.
00:56:50I could have gone to college on time with everybody else.
00:56:56I could have had the support to get a good job and provide for my daughter.
00:57:00But I couldn't.
00:57:01I couldn't do any of that because I couldn't fit into whatever stupid vision you had for me.
00:57:08Actually, no.
00:57:10No, you know what?
00:57:11I did.
00:57:12I did fit into the mold.
00:57:13I did every single AP class, every single after school activity, and every community service event.
00:57:19I was such a good daughter, and I loved you so much.
00:57:27But I guess you didn't know how to love me back.
00:57:37Excuse me.
00:57:38If you don't leave, I'm going to call the police.
00:57:41What?
00:57:41That won't be necessary.
00:57:42This is misunderstanding.
00:57:44We're very sorry.
00:57:44No, but the Johnsons live here, and my parents live here.
00:57:47Okay, and I'm clearly have the wrong house.
00:57:49We're very sorry.
00:57:49Come on, let's go.
00:57:50If I don't own my own house, I'm so sorry.
00:57:52Can you please help us?
00:57:53Are you renting a room from them or something?
00:57:56No.
00:57:57I've lived here for the past six years.
00:58:01Six years?
00:58:03Parents sold the house six years ago?
00:58:05They didn't tell me?
00:58:06Okay.
00:58:07I'm sorry.
00:58:12Honey, can I get you some water or something?
00:58:16That's not necessary, thank you, but we should go.
00:58:18Come on.
00:58:19Anna, let's go.
00:58:21Anna.
00:58:22Are you okay?
00:58:23I don't feel good.
00:58:25What?
00:58:25Hey, it's okay.
00:58:26Hey.
00:58:27Hey, hey, hey.
00:58:28Hey, hey, hey.
00:58:29Anna.
00:58:30Anna.
00:58:31You okay?
00:58:32Hey.
00:58:32I can't believe they would move and not tell me.
00:58:38I can.
00:58:40Why'd you even go over there?
00:58:42I don't know.
00:58:43It was a stupid idea.
00:58:45James and I can't donate stem cells to Olivia.
00:58:47But the doctor said that odds are my parents would be matches.
00:58:53Really?
00:58:54Yeah, I should have known that going to them would only lead to more drama.
00:59:00I mean, I could never trust them before.
00:59:02I don't know why I thought I could trust them now.
00:59:04Anna.
00:59:05Did you know that my mother lied to James and I?
00:59:09She said that we cheated on each other.
00:59:13What kind of mother would go out of her way to break up a high school relationship
00:59:17because what, it was like such an affront to her Bible study group or whatever?
00:59:21I mean, you'd think that, like, a little part of her would want to fight for me.
00:59:30Anna.
00:59:33Your mother acted that way because she's not your mother.
00:59:39What?
00:59:41What do you mean she's not my real mother?
00:59:44Your real mother was a teen mom who couldn't raise you on her own.
00:59:50And so your parents offered to adopt you.
00:59:54And you knew about this?
00:59:56For how long?
00:59:57It was a closed adoption, Anna.
00:59:59Legally, I couldn't say anything until you were 18.
01:00:02What about when I wasn't 18?
01:00:07I am so sorry.
01:00:10I was so afraid if I told you the truth after all this time, I'd lose you forever.
01:00:15Becca, what is the truth?
01:00:20Please.
01:00:28I'm your real mother.
01:00:32I was young and irresponsible.
01:00:36Your mother offered to keep you out of the system.
01:00:38My daughter's life was in danger.
01:00:43And you didn't tell me this?
01:00:44No, that's why I went to the doctor and told her your real family's medical history.
01:00:49And I didn't say anything when you were looking for a match because...
01:00:53Well, I thought you or James would be matches.
01:00:55So if James was a match, you just wouldn't have told me ever?
01:00:57Anna, this is all of it.
01:01:03There's no more secrets.
01:01:05I can get tested to save Olivia and everything can finally be normal.
01:01:09Normal?
01:01:11Are you kidding me?
01:01:13We never had a shot at normal, did we?
01:01:15Anna, please.
01:01:17I am so sorry.
01:01:20I need to go to James' right now.
01:01:23Okay?
01:01:24I need to be alone and I need to think about this.
01:01:26I need to be alone and I need to be alone and I need to be alone.
01:01:42Hey.
01:01:43Hey, hey.
01:01:44Hey, what's wrong?
01:01:49Will you promise me something?
01:01:52Anything.
01:01:56No more secrets.
01:01:58If there's anything that you're keeping from me from now on, you please just tell me.
01:02:04Deal.
01:02:10Well, there is one thing.
01:02:12I love you.
01:02:20I love you.
01:02:27I love you, too.
01:02:28Good morning.
01:02:47Do you want some coffee, James?
01:02:49I feel like I really want some coffee.
01:02:50You're pregnant.
01:02:51You can't drink coffee.
01:02:52Do you want the coffee or not?
01:02:54What is going on?
01:02:55I'm sorry.
01:02:57I'll leave you alone if that's what you want.
01:03:00I'll leave you alone forever after the transplant.
01:03:03My test results just came back.
01:03:06I'm a match.
01:03:09Oh, my God.
01:03:10Oh, this is amazing.
01:03:11Oh.
01:03:17I'm a little surprised to find you here.
01:03:18Yeah, I just wanted to go someplace quiet until after the surgery was out.
01:03:26Good plan.
01:03:33Hey.
01:03:35Remember when we said we'd tell each other everything?
01:03:38What's going on with you and Becca?
01:03:39She's my real mom.
01:03:48Oh.
01:03:49Um.
01:03:50Yeah.
01:03:52That's a lot.
01:03:53How are you doing?
01:03:55I don't know.
01:03:56It hurts.
01:03:59You know, when I had Olivia, I felt hopeless, too, but I never would have given her away,
01:04:06especially to people who don't even care.
01:04:08Well, when you had Olivia, you had support.
01:04:12What are you talking about?
01:04:13I was kicked out of my house.
01:04:15And then Becca took you in.
01:04:17No questions asked.
01:04:19I mean, sure, she might have not been able to make the right decision when she was 17,
01:04:25but she stepped up so that you wouldn't have to make the same decision that she did.
01:04:29Hello?
01:04:38Okay.
01:04:40We'll be right there.
01:04:44Olivia's surgery's over.
01:04:46It was a success.
01:04:47I used to come to the church more often.
01:04:58Here it is.
01:05:00The extra jello from my favorite nurse.
01:05:03Oh.
01:05:06It's you.
01:05:08How's our girl?
01:05:15Olivia's surgery was a success.
01:05:17She could come home tomorrow.
01:05:18How are you feeling?
01:05:23I know stem cells are supposed to be important, but to tell you the truth, I can't feel much
01:05:30of a difference without them.
01:05:36I love you.
01:05:37I love you, too, kid.
01:05:55I've said it once, and I'll say it again.
01:05:58You are definitely an autumn, my darling.
01:06:01Well, well, well.
01:06:01Look who's back up and running.
01:06:03It's an honor to be back.
01:06:04Where's your prettier half?
01:06:06It's with a doctor checking in on the baby.
01:06:08Is it going to be a girl or a boy?
01:06:09Well, we don't know yet.
01:06:10It's a surprise.
01:06:12Well, that's silly.
01:06:13If it's a surprise, then how will I know how to make the perfect gift?
01:06:18I'm sure whatever you make for the baby will be perfect.
01:06:21Yeah, maybe.
01:06:22Hey, now that I have you both here, I want to talk to you guys.
01:06:26I've been thinking a lot about your mom and us and family.
01:06:33I want to ask for your blessing.
01:06:35Oh my god, are you serious?
01:06:37Of course you're serious.
01:06:38Why wouldn't you be serious?
01:06:39I...
01:06:40How do you want to do it?
01:06:41Balloons.
01:06:41No, that's tacky.
01:06:43Flowers.
01:06:44Roses.
01:06:44You'll need roses.
01:06:46I don't get it.
01:06:47What's the blessing for?
01:06:49Well, when two people have been going out for a while, and one of them wants to get married,
01:06:56they ask the other person's parents for their blessing so they can propose marriage.
01:07:01You want to marry mom?
01:07:03Yes, I do.
01:07:04Well, you definitely have my blessing, without a doubt.
01:07:07And I know Anna loves you with her whole heart.
01:07:11You're going to make each other so happy.
01:07:13That's very sweet, Becca.
01:07:13But there is one more person I need their blessing from.
01:07:18Me?
01:07:18Of course.
01:07:20You're Anna's whole world.
01:07:21If we're going to be a family, I want to make sure it's something that you want, too.
01:07:24Of course I want you guys to be together, Dad.
01:07:27And I have the perfect ring.
01:07:29Oh, I already bought it, yes.
01:07:30It's perfect.
01:07:46James, why did you bring me here?
01:07:50Anna, these last few months have been a whirlwind.
01:07:55But being by your side, being with your family, our family, has made them the best months of my life.
01:08:14Who's that?
01:08:15Well, I bought you a diamond.
01:08:16Okay.
01:08:17But Liv insisted you prefer pink.
01:08:21That's perfect.
01:08:22Anna, will you make me the happiest man alive and marry me?
01:08:33Come on.
01:08:39Gay mom.
01:08:42Did you like the ring?
01:08:44I love it.
01:08:46We're finally going to be a real family.
01:08:48I can't wait.
01:08:50You won't have to.
01:08:51I don't want to waste another moment.
01:08:54Let's get married today.
01:08:55What do you say?
01:08:56I mean, we're already in a chapel.
01:08:58Yes.
01:08:58Let's do it.
01:09:00I'll go find a priest.
01:09:07Given the circumstances, I'm assuming you're the types that would like to say your own vows?
01:09:13Anna, it's been a long road to get here.
01:09:22But no matter what the world throws at us, we'll always find a way to come back to each other.
01:09:28I can't wait to be a part of your family.
01:09:31I promise to never leave your side.
01:09:34James, thank you for your honesty and for your love and your support.
01:09:55And for helping me find the strength to trust again.
01:10:01Even though I literally fought you every single step of the way.
01:10:05I love you.
01:10:11James, do you take this woman to be your wife?
01:10:15I do.
01:10:17Anna, do you take this man to be your husband?
01:10:19Anna, do you take this man to be your husband?
01:10:21Yes.
01:10:22You may now kiss the bride.
01:10:41Now, time to get you out of that sheet.
01:10:45Oh, and onto these sheets.
01:10:48You are such a dork.
01:10:50Yeah, but I'm your dork.
01:10:52Forever.
01:10:57I love you.
01:10:59I love you too.
01:11:04God, I never want to go back to that hospital ever again.
01:11:08Get a baby coming through.
01:11:10Move, move, move.
01:11:11Everybody go.
01:11:12Hey, it's okay.
01:11:13Baby coming through.
01:11:14Here we go.
