especially well-deserved.

and one
that is made more momentous

you guys are here.

She, of course, wanted to be

Ms. Fenmore.
Truly, this is such a privilege.

telling him all about you.

beginning.
And by that, I mean

whenever your life first started
getting interesting.

if we're going to go that
74
00:04:09,782 --> 00:04:13,119
far back, we all better settle
in and get some cocktails,

I was daddy's girl.
78
00:04:29,769 --> 00:04:32,505
My parents, they divorced
when I was very young,
79
00:04:32,572 --> 00:04:35,875
and my mother decided
she didn't want to be a mother.
80
00:04:35,942 --> 00:04:43,449
So, my father, Neil,
he raised me, and I adored him.
81
00:04:43,516 --> 00:04:48,921
My mother, Joanna?
Uh, not so much.
82
00:04:48,988 --> 00:04:52,525
>> Lauren: All I ever wanted was
for you to be proud of me.
83
00:04:52,592 --> 00:04:57,563
But you never were.
And I know why.
84
00:04:57,630 --> 00:05:00,833
Because you were trapped
in a marriage and a family
85
00:05:00,900 --> 00:05:03,603
that you wanted no part of.
>> Joanna: That same family
86
00:05:03,670 --> 00:05:05,672
turned around and wanted no part
of me.
87
00:05:05,738 --> 00:05:09,108
>> Lauren: But what did you
expect us to do?
88
00:05:09,175 --> 00:05:15,948
>> Joanna: Obviously, I expected
too much.

00:05:16,015 --> 00:05:20,086
Oh, Lauren...

00:05:20,153 --> 00:05:25,391
...if only I'd known
you were carrying this around
91
00:05:25,458 --> 00:05:30,663
all these years.
>> Lauren: And if you had?
92
00:05:30,730 --> 00:05:34,467
Would it have made a difference?
>> Lauren: Being raised by a
93
00:05:34,534 --> 00:05:38,204
selfish ice-queen mother
and an indulgent father
94
00:05:38,271 --> 00:05:40,673
who worked more hours
than he should have
95
00:05:40,740 --> 00:05:42,775
could have contributed
to the fact that I was such
96
00:05:42,842 --> 00:05:47,814
a handful as a teenager.
But I had passion.
97
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:52,819
And back then it was music.
And I was so excited to be able
98
00:05:52,885 --> 00:05:55,722
to sing with Danny Romalotti.

extraordinary time in my life.

was, like, the kindest,

to ask you what you feel about

107

no need to ask.

really mean that?

than I was back then.

And when I found out that there
was a rival for his affection,

whoo!
The mean girl in me

>> Lauren: Came out pretty good,

00:07:02,155 --> 00:07:04,157
didn't it?
A friend of mine took that
121
00:07:04,223 --> 00:07:06,559
at Danny's big rehearsal,
remember?
122
00:07:06,626 --> 00:07:08,895
>> Traci: Yes, I remember.
>> Lauren: And, naturally,
123
00:07:08,961 --> 00:07:11,831
Danny wanted a copy.
So, I got him one, too.
124
00:07:11,898 --> 00:07:13,800
>> Traci: He told you we wanted
a copy?
125
00:07:13,866 --> 00:07:16,202
>> Lauren: He didn't have to.
I'm getting to know Danny real

00:07:16,269 --> 00:07:21,340
well.
>> Traci: Yeah, I'll bet.

I was definitely

00:07:37,490 --> 00:07:40,226
You grew out of it.
>> Lauren: Not as fast as I
132
00:07:40,293 --> 00:07:42,795
should have.
Honestly, I mean,
133
00:07:42,862 --> 00:07:45,398
I had everything
a girl could ever want,
134
00:07:45,464 --> 00:07:52,605
and yet I was such a wild child.
Ironically, getting in trouble
135
00:07:52,672 --> 00:08:07,553
is how I met my first husband.
>> Paul: Alright,
136
00:08:07,620 --> 00:08:09,822
is how I met my first husband.
>> Paul: Alright,
137
00:08:09,889 --> 00:08:11,657
just a minute, sweetheart.
>> Lauren: What? I --
138
00:08:11,724 --> 00:08:13,993
>> Paul: I think you better come
with me.

00:08:14,060 --> 00:08:17,230
>> Lauren: No, but --
>> Paul: Come on.

>> Lauren: Paul is our chief
of police now.
141
00:08:20,333 --> 00:08:24,170
But back then, he was a private
detective.
142
00:08:24,237 --> 00:08:29,342
We shouldn't have made sense,
but we did.
143

>> Lauren: I thought
you were busy working on a case.
144
00:08:34,714 --> 00:08:39,151
>> Paul: Um, I changed my plans.
>> Lauren: Why?
145
00:08:39,218 --> 00:08:41,487
>> Paul: So I could be with you,
of course.
146
00:08:41,554 --> 00:08:44,190
>> Lauren: Hmm.
Well, then, I'm not going to
147
00:08:44,257 --> 00:08:48,194
complain.
>> Paul: You know, even 007
148
00:08:48,261 --> 00:08:50,830

in a while.

Well, in my opinion,
you're a perfect 10.

>> Trey: Sounds like a terrific
guy.
152
00:09:00,106 --> 00:09:02,708
>> Lauren: He is.
And his parents
153
00:09:02,775 --> 00:09:05,378
were salt of the earth.
His father, Carl,
154
00:09:05,444 --> 00:09:11,884
was a retired police detective.
And his mother, Mary [Laughs]

a devout Catholic, very
protective of her family.

how I went over.

158
00:09:21,560 --> 00:09:23,629
nothing wrong with not wanting
to have children,

nor is there anything wrong
with wanting to stay single.

But you have to be up
front about it.

none of your business.

something.
Paul and I

We have been through an awful

And so, if anybody is going

it's going to be me.

>> Lauren: You know, um, a few
181
00:10:32,965 --> 00:10:36,102
reasons.
First and foremost
182
00:10:36,168 --> 00:10:41,540
was this guy name Shawn Garrett.
When I met him, he was,
183
00:10:41,607 --> 00:10:44,577
you know, very kind.
He said he'd been to all my
184

concerts, and he wanted to start
an official fan club for me.
185
00:10:49,415 --> 00:10:52,618
And then he became obsessed
with me.
186
00:10:52,685 --> 00:10:58,224
He tried
to ruin Danny's career.
187
00:10:58,290 --> 00:11:02,561
And then he said
that he would kill Paul
188
00:11:02,628 --> 00:11:09,435
if I didn't divorce him.
So, I did.
189
00:11:09,502 --> 00:11:14,707
I did to protect Paul.
I tried to pretend
190
00:11:14,774 --> 00:11:19,345
to have feelings for Shawn,
but when he found out
191
00:11:19,412 --> 00:11:24,817
how I really felt?
To say that he lost it would be
192
00:11:24,884 --> 00:11:31,390

in there.

I was a total goner,

were a lovely young man
335
00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:26,418
who just seemed a little lost.
>> Kevin: I got it in my head
336
00:21:26,485 --> 00:21:28,620
that Lauren
was falling for me as hard
337
00:21:28,687 --> 00:21:31,256
as I was falling for her.
And when I realized
338
00:21:31,323 --> 00:21:36,762
I was mistaken,
I didn't handle it very well.
339
00:21:36,828 --> 00:21:39,998
>> Kevin: The day we met at the
boutique, you told me how rare
340
00:21:40,065 --> 00:21:45,871
it was to find somebody in this
world that was actually kind.
341
00:21:45,937 --> 00:21:49,441
And then you said that the older
people got,
342
00:21:49,508 --> 00:21:53,512
the less likely they were
to judge somebody before
343
00:21:53,578 --> 00:21:59,017
they really got to know them.
>> Lauren: Yes, I did.
344
00:21:59,084 --> 00:22:01,553
>> Kevin: So, is any of that
true, or is it just a bunch of
345
00:22:01,620 --> 00:22:05,223
empty words?
>> Lauren: No.
346
00:22:05,290 --> 00:22:10,562
That was sincere.
That's the truth.
347
00:22:10,629 --> 00:22:12,431
>> Kevin: Okay.
Because you didn't
348
00:22:12,497 --> 00:22:18,670
know who I was then.
Then I told you my name.
349
00:22:18,737 --> 00:22:21,039
You probably heard
all the stories, you know, and
350
00:22:21,106 --> 00:22:24,976
you just assumed they were true.
And you never even gave me
351
00:22:25,043 --> 00:22:28,613
a chance.
>> Lauren: I want to give you
352
00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:31,516
a chance now.
Come on.
353
00:22:31,583 --> 00:22:33,652
Let's work through this, please?
>> Kevin: No, no, no!

There's no way that's going to
happen --

out of me.

484
00:30:20,218 --> 00:30:23,788
So...
who do you want the father to
485
00:30:23,855 --> 00:30:27,625
be?
>> Phyllis: Um...
486
00:30:27,692 --> 00:30:29,861
how about Michael?
Is he available?
487
00:30:29,928 --> 00:30:32,730
>> Lauren: No. Taken.
>> Phyllis: Okay. Too bad.
488
00:30:32,797 --> 00:30:34,732
He's going to be such a great
father.
489
00:30:34,799 --> 00:30:36,801
>> Lauren: Yeah, he is.
>> Phyllis: Yeah.
490
00:30:36,868 --> 00:30:39,504
>> Lauren: Hey, why did you see
Dr. Thompson tonight?
491
00:30:39,571 --> 00:30:42,507
>> Phyllis: Oh, I, um, I was
spotting and...
492
00:30:42,574 --> 00:30:44,876
>> Lauren: Oh.
>> Phyllis: Yeah, but she wants
493
00:30:44,943 --> 00:30:48,246
me to do an amnio,
just, you know, to be sure.
494
00:30:48,313 --> 00:30:50,882
>> Lauren: You know, I had one
today.
495
00:30:50,949 --> 00:30:53,284
Do you want me to go with you?
>> Lauren: You know, it's easy
496
00:30:53,351 --> 00:30:57,322
to have friends during the good
times, but it's the one who
497
00:30:57,388 --> 00:31:00,925
really shows up
when things aren't so good
498
00:31:00,992 --> 00:31:05,563
that really counts.
>> Chloe: That is so true.
499
00:31:05,630 --> 00:31:09,267
>> Trey: Not just with friends.
>> Phyllis: Well, you two, watch
500
00:31:09,334 --> 00:31:12,303
and learn.
These two, their relationship
501
00:31:12,370 --> 00:31:15,673
goals -- you have an incredible
bond.
502
00:31:15,740 --> 00:31:19,677
I mean, they haven't
been, now, without conflict.
503
00:31:19,744 --> 00:31:21,212
That's for sure.
>> Lauren: [ Laughs ]
504
00:31:21,279 --> 00:31:23,047
No.
>> Phyllis: But how they've
505
00:31:23,114 --> 00:31:26,951
navigated through it, you know?
And they have a great
506
00:31:27,018 --> 00:31:29,721
relationship because
they rely on each other.
507
00:31:29,787 --> 00:31:31,956
When one of them falls down,
the other one leans down
508
00:31:32,023 --> 00:31:37,495
and picks them up.
>> Michael: Please, just end
509
00:31:37,562 --> 00:31:44,302
this.
>> Lauren: No, I won't do it.
510
00:31:44,369 --> 00:31:47,839
>> Michael: Don't make me say
things that will hurt you.
511
00:31:47,905 --> 00:31:49,741
>> Lauren: You don't think this
hurts?
512
00:31:49,807 --> 00:31:54,379
>> Michael: Oh, I know it does.
And I want the pain to end
513
00:31:54,445 --> 00:31:57,015
for both of us.
The only way
514
00:31:57,081 --> 00:32:01,452
that's going to happen
is if you accept the fact that
515
00:32:01,519 --> 00:32:10,862
I don't want to be with you.
I don't love you anymore.
516
00:32:10,928 --> 00:32:14,966
>> Lauren: I will not accept
that.
517
00:32:15,033 --> 00:32:21,139
What we have is real, and I
will never give up on us.
518
00:32:29,714 --> 00:32:34,686
>> Michael: My wife is the
bravest, fiercest human being
519
00:32:34,752 --> 00:32:39,223
that I have ever met.
And we're all the stronger
520
00:32:39,290 --> 00:32:42,427
for it.
521
00:32:53,237 --> 00:32:55,707
>> Michael: Thank you guys so
much for coming.
522
00:32:55,773 --> 00:32:57,342
>> Kevin: Thank you!
>> Michael: Love you, love you,
523
00:32:57,408 --> 00:32:58,876
love you.
>> Kevin: Congrats again!
524
00:32:58,943 --> 00:33:00,545
>> Michael: Kevin, call me.
>> Kevin: Love you all. Bye.
525
00:33:00,611 --> 00:33:02,180
>> Michael: Bye!
Thank you, Phyllis.
526
00:33:02,246 --> 00:33:03,648
>> Gloria: Bye, handsome son
number one.
527
00:33:03,715 --> 00:33:06,150
>> Michael: Bye, Mumsy.
>> Fen: Bye.
528
00:33:06,217 --> 00:33:08,953
And I think we're actually
going to check out Noah's club.
529
00:33:09,020 --> 00:33:10,154
>> Lauren: Alright.
>> Michael: Ah!
530
00:33:10,221 --> 00:33:12,123
>> Lauren: Expect to see you far
more often.
531
00:33:12,190 --> 00:33:13,424
>> Fen: I know. Yes, ma'am.
>> Lauren: Right?
532
00:33:13,491 --> 00:33:14,726
>> Fen: I love you.
>> Lauren: I love you.
533
00:33:14,792 --> 00:33:17,161
>> Michael: Thank you so much.
>> Lauren: So nice to meet you.
534
00:33:17,228 --> 00:33:20,732
>> Trey: You too.
>> Michael: Alright.
535
00:33:20,798 --> 00:33:23,000
Pleasure, Trey.
>> Lauren: Bye.
536
00:33:23,067 --> 00:33:32,443
>> Trey: Bye.
>> Lauren: I'm so grateful.
537
00:33:32,510 --> 00:33:35,747
>> Michael: Mm-hmm!
>> Lauren: Fen is back on
538
00:33:35,813 --> 00:33:40,051
track, and he's...
he's found love.
539
00:33:40,118 --> 00:33:42,220
>> Michael: I don't mean to be
self-congratulatory,
540
00:33:42,286 --> 00:33:47,959
but I think Phyllis got it right
when she talked about us setting
541
00:33:48,025 --> 00:33:53,197
a good example for others.
I mean, Lord knows
542
00:33:53,264 --> 00:33:56,934
we have faced obstacles that
would pulverize other couples.
543
00:34:06,010 --> 00:34:08,112
>> Michael: Lauren?!
>> Lauren: In sickness
544
00:34:08,179 --> 00:34:10,681
and in health!
Those were the vows that I took,
545
00:34:10,748 --> 00:34:14,452
and they weren't just words.
I meant every single --
546
00:34:14,519 --> 00:34:16,754
>> Michael: Alright,
neither of us expected this.
547
00:34:16,821 --> 00:34:19,056
>> Lauren: But that doesn't mean
that I walk out on you.
548
00:34:19,123 --> 00:34:22,260
I love you.
Cancer does not change that.
549
00:34:22,326 --> 00:34:24,395
>> Michael: No, no, no.
Cancer changes everything.
550
00:34:24,462 --> 00:34:26,798
>> Lauren: It doesn't have to!
>> Michael: It will!
551
00:34:26,864 --> 00:34:30,368
>> Lauren: You shut me down!
You drove me away!
552
00:34:30,435 --> 00:34:33,838
And you drove me to find
peace and comfort and support
553
00:34:33,905 --> 00:34:35,239
elsewhere.
>> Michael: In another man's
554
00:34:35,306 --> 00:34:41,579
arms!
>> Lauren: We made it this far
555
00:34:41,646 --> 00:34:45,149
because we pledged to love
each other forever.
556
00:34:45,216 --> 00:34:49,654
We meant it.
>> Michael: Do you remember what
557
00:34:49,720 --> 00:34:52,089
you were doing one year ago
today?
558
00:34:52,156 --> 00:34:54,091
>> Lauren: Let's see.
One year ago today.
559
00:34:54,158 --> 00:34:56,394
Ooh, my nails?
These poor things.
560
00:34:56,461 --> 00:34:58,329
>> Michael: Okay, fine.
If that's how you're going to
561
00:34:58,396 --> 00:35:00,731
play it, you're not getting
your anniversary gift.
562
00:35:00,798 --> 00:35:02,967
>> Lauren: [ Gasps ]
Gift? Gift?
563
00:35:03,034 --> 00:35:04,268
>> Michael: Well, too late,
too late.
564
00:35:04,335 --> 00:35:06,137
>> Lauren: Why didn't say in the
first place?
565
00:35:06,204 --> 00:35:07,538
>> Michael: I am so taking it
back to the store.
566
00:35:07,605 --> 00:35:09,073
>> Lauren: No, you are not.
>> Michael: Yes, I am.
567
00:35:09,140 --> 00:35:10,308
>> Lauren: Not if I can find it
first.
568
00:35:10,374 --> 00:35:12,543
>> Michael: No, no. Stop!
[ Laughing ] Stop!
569
00:35:12,610 --> 00:35:15,012
Stop it! Stop it!
>> Lauren: No, I'm gonna find
570
00:35:15,079 --> 00:35:16,280
it!
>> Michael: Alright, alright.
571
00:35:16,347 --> 00:35:18,382
Right there.
Go ahead. It's yours.
572
00:35:18,449 --> 00:35:19,884
>> Lauren: You gonna give it to
me?
573
00:35:19,951 --> 00:35:21,619
>> Michael: Yeah.
>> Lauren: Okay.
574
00:35:21,686 --> 00:35:26,657
>> Michael: Yeah.
>> Lauren: Oh.
575
00:35:26,724 --> 00:35:29,994
Michael.
I'm gonna pick yours up later,
576
00:35:30,061 --> 00:35:31,796
okay?
>> Michael: No, look.
577
00:35:31,863 --> 00:35:34,465
You have given me
the most precious gift in the
578
00:35:34,532 --> 00:35:39,770
world...and it's asleep!
Open.
579
00:35:39,837 --> 00:35:45,209
>> Lauren: Okay.
Oh!
580
00:35:54,685 --> 00:36:00,391
>> Michael: Lauren Fenmore
Baldwin...
581
00:36:00,458 --> 00:36:09,967
I promise to love and honor
and cherish you
582
00:36:10,034 --> 00:36:12,036
until the day I die.
