She asked to come in for “some coffee” after a perfect kiss—until my front door swung open and my little girl appeared. The woman thought I’d been hiding a child (and maybe a wife), and left in shock and anger. I couldn’t let the misunderstanding stand, so the next day I went to her office to tell the truth about my daughter’s mother—and about the life I’ve been trying to rebuild. This is a story about second chances, a single dad’s honesty, and whether one conversation can save what felt like fate.

00:00Bye, actually, Mike.
00:04It's our first date, and I wouldn't mind.
00:08Look, I have to wake up earlier tomorrow for worse.
00:11So maybe some coffee?
00:14Hey, Daddy.
00:20Is he a daughter?
00:22Yeah.
00:23I'm Mia.
00:30Introduce me to your wife next time, okay?
00:34What?
00:36Monica!
00:39And you know what, Mia?
00:42Your father is a narcissistic, hypocritical, stinking liar.
00:46What?
00:47I thought I'd never see her again.
00:50My name is Mike, and this is my love story.
01:01Yeah, but what do you think about it?
01:03Because, because, what the hell?
01:06See you, Rich, okay?
01:14I'm all ears.
01:17Yesterday you told my girls that I was narcissistic, hypocritical, stinking liar.
01:23Wow.
01:25Girls, I'm so sorry your father isn't stinking.
01:29I don't have a wife, and I didn't lie to you, so take what you say back.
01:34Then, where's their mom?
01:35Huh?
01:36She's dead.
01:43Mia, let's go home.
01:49Mike.
01:51Mike.
01:52Mike, Mike, Mike.
01:54What?
01:54Why didn't you tell me right away about your daughters?
01:59Guess why.
02:02Yeah, but if you would tell me, I would be okay with that.
02:06And...
02:07Look.
02:08And...
02:08Never mind.
02:09And...
02:09We have to go.
02:10Mike.
02:13You are not a liar, and I'm the one who is idiot here.
02:17I-D-E-Ut.
02:22Damn.
02:23Damn.
02:27She learning quickly.
02:31How can I apologize to you?
02:33Buy some ice cream.
02:34Right.
02:39That's a good idea.
02:40I like ice cream, and you, Mike, do you like ice cream?
02:43Okay, I got it.
02:47Ladies, wait here.
02:49It seemed like Monica and I had a chance.
02:54But before I could even think about it...
02:56Where's Monica?
03:01She's gone.
03:10Where she goes?
03:13Well, she kind of thought about it again, and she realized...
03:17She didn't want to raise other people's children.
03:26I think we'll have pizza.
03:33You can fly.
03:38You have very beautiful dress.
03:41Yes.
03:42Girls, go wash your hands.
03:44Pizza's almost ready.
03:45I love you, Daddy.
03:48I love you too, Monica.
03:51Okay.
03:52Come on.
03:56Dad.
03:57Huh?
03:59You know we'll always be there for you, right?
04:03Of course.
04:05Until you do grow up.
04:07It's all your fault.
04:28Shut up.
04:28You make Daddy sad, and you know it.
04:31Yeah, where is Phoebe?
04:51Phoebe?
04:54Phoebe?
04:55My daughter hadn't picked up the phone for an hour, and I didn't know what to think.
05:01And then...
05:02Phoebe!
05:04Where have you been?
05:06Where's your phone?
05:07Bring another plate.
05:08We have a special guest.
05:13All right.
05:15What are you doing here?
05:18Phoebe invited me.
05:20Phoebe?
05:20Yes, she said you were having pizza for dinner.
05:27I couldn't help myself.
05:29I also have two daughters at dinner, and it turns out you don't want to raise them.
05:38Okay.
05:40Yeah.
05:40I haven't planned on raising them yet, but...
05:45Actually, I wouldn't mind.
05:47I don't mind.
05:47Phoebe?
05:53Okay.
05:54Wait a minute.
05:58I thought you'd be honest, and you lied to me.
06:02Why?
06:02Because I remember how upset you were with our mother, and I just don't want this to happen
06:06again, Dad.
06:07Mike, it's understandable.
06:08She's just worried about you.
06:11Hey, babe.
06:12It's okay.
06:13Totally.
06:13Monika was protecting my daughter the way her mother should be.
06:19But...
06:20If he yells at you, you're telling me, and we're gonna beat him up.
06:25Okay?
06:33I brought a plate for Monika.
06:37Okay.
06:37Let's have pizza.
06:43Wonderful.
06:44Now, there were always four plates on our table.
06:49Within a week, Monika had moved in her toothbrush and pajamas, and she fell asleep with the girls
06:56before I had time to read the story.
06:59Unfortunately, Monika didn't know the biggest secret about my wife yet.
07:23Is that her?
07:50Let me put it away.
07:57Babe.
07:58You're still upset about losing her, right?
08:03I was worried about my daughter's growing up without a mom.
08:06Did she?
08:07Yeah, but...
08:09Why do you always avoid this?
08:11You can tell me.
08:12I'm here for you, and...
08:14Tell me what happened to her.
08:16No.
08:19Just never mind.
08:20Hey, why doesn't anyone come to meet mom?
08:28Huh.
08:33Rachel?
08:36You're supposed to be in Chicago.
08:38Yeah, but now I'm here.
08:40And who is this?
08:43Monika.
08:44Monika, you made a kid lie about her mom's death?
08:52No.
08:52No, please.
08:54Wait, please.
08:56Death?
08:57That's the kind of story you tell about me, Mike.
09:00Rachel, why did you come?
09:02Sorry.
09:03I don't want to know who you brought into our house, but we need to talk.
09:09Look.
09:10Dad?
09:11Who's this?
09:14Mia?
09:15Our mom.
09:16Kinda.
09:17Hi, girls.
09:21Look, you're so big.
09:25Don't touch her.
09:26Oh, hello.
09:30Look, guys.
09:31Please, unpack.
09:33Okay.
09:33And I'm going to get some rest from my trip.
09:36Okay.
09:36So, it is children's room.
09:43It's been a while since I've been in here.
09:47Maybe this way?
09:49I realized that Monika wanted to forget me and erase me from her memory.
09:54And that she would never want to talk to me.
10:02But I couldn't let her go.
10:04Monika, wait.
10:06Monika.
10:16Mia, what are you doing here?
10:18Monika, please listen to him.
10:23Phoebe, why?
10:24So your father can lie about your mom again?
10:27She's not our mom anymore.
10:30I was in line when I said that she's dead.
10:33She died to us as a mother.
10:35Hey, Rachel really isn't their mom.
10:39She left her so long ago that Mia doesn't even remember her.
10:42She has no parental rights.
10:45And she's here only to take money off me.
10:49That's it.
10:50Mommy should be here.
10:53By the way, your candidacy is good.
10:56I didn't think that anyone could give them as much warmth and love as me, but you did.
11:15I feel the same way about you.
11:17If you have love and kindness in your heart,
11:28you will find your happiness for sure.
11:34The next day.
11:35You're welcome.
11:35You
