00:00So, how was school?
00:02Well, Mrs. Rosati showed us pictures of her baby.
00:06He is so cute.
00:08I'll bet you're happy to have Mrs. Rosati back, huh?
00:11So glad.
00:13Especially since Mr. Horton's a kidnapper.
00:17No, honey, we don't know that.
00:20Everyone is innocent until proven guilty, okay?
00:23We just have to hope that Stephanie will be found and that she's safe.
00:27No, I am hoping that.
00:30And praying for her, too.
00:33It's so horrible that she's missing.
00:35It is. It is.
00:38And look, if you, uh...
00:40If this is on your mind, you want to talk about it,
00:43I'm sure Dr. Fuller can help you out today.
00:48Okay.
00:49I'll talk to her about it.
00:54And can we say hi to Sarah while we're there?
00:57Yeah.
00:58Yeah, that'd be nice, actually.
01:00Although I don't...
01:01I don't think she's working today.
01:04Oh, sorry.
01:24Whoopiha, it's me, Melinda.
01:27finally
01:32what's going on why have you been blowing up my phone
01:37because you haven't responded to any of my texts well i do have a life you know and other clients
01:43i know i know and i'm sorry if i'm being impatient but did you do what i asked
01:49did you find a way to contest johnny and chanel adopting my baby
01:57you know what will go pretty well with this croissant right now pickles that's that's a new
02:05one no i'm dead serious okay well you want me to run the store go get some you know i
02:10will
02:10no maybe later um right now i think we should probably focus on getting to our appointment
02:19with the specialist because i do not want to be late especially considering how long it took us
02:23to get it yeah right we should uh yeah you're nervous aren't you no it's just uh i mean the
02:33words
02:34high risk pregnancy specialist i know i know it's it sounds it sounds kind of scary but
02:42we just have to take this extra precaution because of what happened last time
02:47all right and and after this is over we can both rest
02:51it's a lot easier once we know that everything is fine
03:00i wish more drug stores had self-checkout
03:03i mean did you see that cashier's judgy glare when i bought this pregnancy test it was like
03:08i robbed a bank or something holly i'm sure you're just imagining it let's just
03:12figure out some place that you can take the test
03:14okay okay and tate if i'm pregnant just let's just wait until we know okay one way or the other
03:31i know victoria was happy to see your crown but oh god i'm so grateful to your mom for
03:36holding down the forted titan so i can stay here
03:40are you sure she's gonna be okay i mean ammonia has snow picnic but victoria's case is relatively mild and
03:55with the antibiotics already kicking in yes she she should be up and running like her old self in no
04:01time
04:05it's just
04:08with all the adrenaline wearing off i'm having this moment of being a mom and not a doctor and just
04:15seeing her in distress like that like
04:32like sands through the hourglass
04:34so are the days of our lives
04:48sorry i'm sorry i don't want to worry you victoria will be fine i don't
04:54i don't know why i'm falling apart like this
04:58you don't have to explain to me i i know exactly how you feel
05:07sofia i never agreed to help you contest the adoption
05:11last time i was here i think i made it pretty clear why i didn't think that was a good
05:15idea and
05:15you said you understood that
05:19i do understand
05:22i understand that you do not agree with me about what i think is best for my child
05:27and i understand that the one person who i thought that i could rely on isn't even on my side
05:31anymore
05:32i am on your side always that hasn't changed then help me look even if i did agree to help
05:39your
05:40maternal rights were forfeited 14 days after you left the baby at the fire station and that was months
05:45ago you have no legal right to this child sophia and aaron signed away his paternal rights also
05:53any avenues that we could pursue are are an extreme long shot so what everything in my life has been
05:58a
05:58long shot and i want to do this please melinda okay would you know would you fight for me please
06:06sophia you are a young woman with your entire life ahead of you so stop pouring your energy into
06:13something that is not going to help you with your recovery you need to focus on the future this is
06:18so
06:19you keep saying but this is this is about my baby not me and and i want him to have
06:23the future that he
06:24deserves and i know that that is not with johnny and chanel no there's no way i'm taking this test
06:31on one of the communal bathrooms on campus right no of course not okay what about my grandma's place
06:37she and my aunt are at the hospital with victoria yeah but that's kind of far my dad's apartment is
06:42much closer and no one's home are you sure yeah positive my dad's with rachel at therapy and kristin's
06:48visiting alone great hey hi hey you got it hi wow uh how's uh how's uh how's trey doing i
06:58haven't
06:58seen him in a while oh he's great yeah thanks um he's uh he's home right now sir yeah and
07:04we actually
07:04have some news trey is going to be having a little brother wow congratulations thank you thank you
07:15uh chanel how are you feeling oh well exhausted uh but uh also thrilled i'm just happy that the
07:23morning sickness is finally over and uh that now i have moved on to the ravenously hungry stage of
07:31pregnancy i don't know i'm sorry i'm i don't know i've just been i'm just starving these past few days
07:40and when i'm not i'm feeling a little queasy well i'm glad you don't have morning sickness anymore
07:48and you're not nauseous ah me too it is such a relief not to have to survive on saltines and
07:54chicken
07:54broth and i'm sure johnny will be happy when my hormones start to level out right babe then you won't
08:01have to deal with me being so moody oh well that sure sounds like a trap so no comment
08:09well it was great seeing you guys congrats again we gotta go yes congratulations
08:23sophia i understand that johnny put you in a very difficult spot when he initially backed out of the
08:28adoption but now that he's demonstrated that he's truly committed to being a father to trey i don't
08:34see what the problem is i've already told you what the problem is he is not a good person and
08:41he he
08:41changes his mind like like holly jonas changes crop tops and i know now that his wife is pregnant that
08:47he is going to lose all interest in my baby once his precious biological child is born oh my god
08:52are we
08:53really going there again yeah we're going there again because it's the truth and why would would
08:59chanel and johnny having another baby have any bearing on what kind of parents that she and johnny will be
09:04towards trey isn't it obvious he is going to become an afterthought to them once their own flesh and blood
09:13is born sophia you and i have been through a lot together and i care about you and i want
09:24what's best for
09:25you and as we discussed before i know that what's best is for you to just let go and move
09:33on
09:36we have been through a lot together melinda you're right
09:40you've been very good to me for the most part which is why i would hate to get you into
09:46any trouble by
09:47me i don't know telling the bar about all of the unethical things you did to help during my pregnancy
10:01okay so once you're done at the bathroom i will set the timer
10:09holly
10:11sorry i just sound up tired i need some coffee
10:20tate hi you're home hi yeah home what are you guys doing here
10:31well i've reviewed your medical records the blood work and ultrasounds and i agree with
10:36dr horton's assessment your pregnancy is progressing normally and the odds of cancer recurrence are low
10:42so wow that is that is such a relief and i'm glad to hear that your morning sickness has subsided
10:49yeah yeah it definitely has good now are there any other questions um yeah actually i i do have one
10:57um
10:58i just i don't understand why all of our doctors made such a big deal about us waiting for chanel
11:04to
11:04get pregnant since now that she is pregnant everything everything seems like it's fine it kind of feels like
11:11they freaked us out for no reason i can understand why you might feel that way but it wasn't exactly
11:16for no reason
11:22xander um i just wanted to say i was touched by that very sweet moment you shared with victoria earlier
11:34she's she was so happy you're here it means a lot to me to be here
11:42um and uh i think um it's just i'm starting to realize now how much
11:54she misses her father she misses her father well i miss her too terribly
12:02and i do
12:06you know now that things
12:11aren't so fresh and raw after what happened between us i'm
12:18i'm just really starting to feel like i can't keep you away from her forever
12:28it's it's not fair to her
12:32it's not fair to you
12:43i'm just uh i'm surprised you guys are home so early i thought you were taking rachel to her
12:47appointment though uh we we were but dr fuller had to cancel due to some emergency or something
12:54well are you two here because you thought that rachel and i were going to be gone no no no
12:58not at all we
12:58were just i'm honestly just surprised to see you both that's all uh holly and i we were uh
13:04in the neighborhood i had to use the bathroom
13:08yeah right
13:10i bet you guys are making out just like you were last night rachel
13:15all right all right give your brother a break enough of that
13:19this is your place too you you are welcome to come
13:22and go as you please um i heard from aunt sarah that you you're rushing a sorority
13:30um how's that how's that going i didn't get in
13:36i'm sorry sorry
13:39oh it's their loss sororities are stupid anyway thanks rachel you know i totally agree
13:53look the only reason why you would have been advised to hold up from pregnancy chanel and i'm sure you
13:57already know this is that once there is a pregnancy our ability to monitor for cancer recurrence is
14:03limited yeah we do know that yeah but chanel's had all these ultrasounds and tests and and wouldn't
14:10you guys be able to tell if there's a tumor no we would not it would only be detected after
14:15the
14:16placenta was delivered or if there was an extensive metastasis during the pregnancy
14:20but let's focus on the present your most recent ultrasound results chanel are very reassuring
14:27and given the low risk of recurrence we're not overly concerned okay so when you say that my
14:35pregnancy is progressing normally what does that actually mean it means that we see healthy fetal
14:42development and that you don't have another molar pregnancy so at this point we have every reason
14:48to be very optimistic
14:54sarah
14:56what are you saying
15:01um i'm saying that i think it's time we revisit our custody agreement
15:06to amend it so you have visitation rates
15:11i do i think that that's what's best for all of us especially our little girl oh i i i
15:18agree
15:18yes what would you want in return in return um for you to continue therapy well i'm gonna do that
15:32that
15:32that goes without saying would you want me to stop seeing gwen
15:44would that be a deal breaker no i wouldn't but
15:50is that really what you're asking me
15:57no i'm that would hardly be fair because you're not walking away from brady because it's not about
16:04anybody else but our daughter and what's her best interest so um should we call the lawyers
16:17well justin is dealing with a family emergency obviously so maybe we should wait until stephanie
16:23is back home safe oh okay but i don't have to i i can just call melinda trust
16:29before we change your mind i'm not gonna change my mind i'm sure that this is what's best for our
16:37daughter
16:40so yeah yeah call melinda let's do it
16:44you know i would think long and hard sophia before backstabbing the only person that's been in
16:50your corner this entire time i guess you shouldn't have turned your back on me then wow
16:58you're really not the person i thought you were and who did you think that i was
17:04a poor innocent helpless oh no i never thought that but i also didn't think that you were vindictive
17:14spiteful and i actually felt sorry for you because i understood what it felt like to have an unwanted
17:18pregnancy but you know what none of that matters because you're bluffing you're gonna call the bar
17:28on me really and here i thought you couldn't talk i can make an exception in this case and i'll
17:36tell
17:36your doctors you have a phone and how will they punish me take away my library privileges
17:45where is you you will be disbarred you will never practice law again
18:02melinda trask melinda hi um i don't suppose you have a minute to come and meet with
18:07sarah and me do you uh sarah's just told me that she's willing to revisit the terms of our custody
18:14agreement great really that's great news you know actually i'm free right now where do you want
18:22to meet uh the hospital if you don't mind unfortunately victoria has pneumonia oh my god
18:28but don't worry she's on the mend sarah and i just don't want to leave her sides you know of
18:33course
18:34i'll be right there

18:57homework
19:02listen i've before you guys go i just want to let you know you are you are welcome here

19:23that she saw us making out but that is it we were just in the living room hanging out after
19:29she went

20:25miss her
20:28it's her favorite candy my mom used to bring them all the time and i was sharing them with rachel

20:49well i'll get out of your hair um listen son i trust you holly i trust you i trust you
20:57both
20:58see you later dad bye mr black all right oh have you heard from my aunt i've been needing to
21:04text
21:04her for an update on victoria what victoria what about her oh well she's in the hospital with
21:12pneumonia what yeah i think she's gonna be totally fine but aunt sarah seemed pretty freaked out about
21:18oh go be with sarah we'll stay with rachel yeah i'm gonna do that okay i won't be long all
21:24right bye bye
21:28well that was awkward yeah tell me about it
21:36so you ready to take the test
21:58so okay let me see if i have this straight basically if the cancer were to come back
22:05which is highly unlikely there'd be no way for us to to know until the baby arrives i mean wouldn't
22:13chanel be showing any symptoms or or no but we'd watch for any red flags like cramping or bleeding
22:20she's had cramping well just a little and dr horton said that that is very common during early
22:26stages of pregnancy and that i shouldn't worry i agree with dr horton it's common and it can have
22:32many causes but chanel how often are you having the cramps and how intense are they well i've had
22:39them more frequent recently but they've been brief and not too intense and no bleeding no okay well
22:50that's good but just to be safe i'm gonna order just a few additional labs in an ultrasound but i
22:55just
22:55had one is there something that you're worried about it is just a precaution i'll be right back
23:08i'll be fine
23:12hey oh thank you
23:16i sure i needed this yeah i bet you were up all night huh
23:21yeah i was god i just i wish i would have brought her in right when she started coughing
23:27kicking myself about it oh stop doing that yeah you got it here just getting the treatment that she
23:35needs now let's just be glad to that right
23:41right
23:44all that matters is our little girl's gonna be okay
23:51of course she will be
23:54and how lucky she is to have such a loving caring mom not to mention a great role model
24:04thank you for saying that it's true and i thank god every day that my daughter has such an amazing
24:11mom
24:23and just like that she's out again
24:27it's good she needs plenty of sleep while she's recovering
24:32don't you think maybe her mom could use some rest too
24:36maybe later
24:39hey there sarah xander i'm so sorry that your daughter is sick
24:44oh she's on the mend she's sleeping this still a good time oh it's very good time yeah thanks for
24:50coming so quickly oh of course
24:52about that custody arrangement um tell me exactly what you two have decided
25:03well that was uh informative a lot both yeah i gotta say though i do uh
25:13i do feel like i have a little bit better understanding of the situation now yeah yeah me too
25:19and uh dr crawford didn't seem like the type of doctor that would sugarcoat it if she really was
25:26concerned i agree and and i'm willing to take a tiny risk for the huge amount of joy that this
25:35new child
25:35is going to bring us me too yeah yeah
26:01hey why do you hang up on me last night oh i'm so sorry nurse natty was coming in so
26:06i had to like
26:07hide my phone oh okay what's up uh i was just calling because i'm sending you those vitamins to take
26:16to holly
26:16but i never said for sure that i'd give them to her oh my gosh rachel would you stop being
26:23so
26:23suspicious i told you you can check her socials she loves these things she says it makes her skin
26:28like so dewy yeah i saw that why can't i say that they're from you it's awkward to just randomly
26:39be
26:39like hey holly i bought these for you with my allowance she'll probably think i'm obsessed with
26:45her or something well you don't have to pretend that they're from you you could always just like
26:52slip it in her purse when she's not looking okay that's super weird okay well i was just trying to
27:01do
27:01something nice for somebody but if you don't want to help me with that that's fine i just figured that
27:06you
27:06know after everything that we've been through together asking you to do one little act of
