onChesapeake Shores...
[Jess] So, you and Mom...
What's going on there?
We're just, you know,taking it slow.
Cheers.
This is nice.
It is, isn't it?
[Emma] It's not every dayyou meet someone
who makes you feel safe.
[woman] We're hereto check in.
What? Now?
This says we're open already.
We'd love to havea wedding reception here,
for bothof our families.
[Mick]Well, that's great.
I got you a present.
Really?
It's okay if you didn'tget me anything.

Thank you all for comingto our grand opening.
We really appreciatecelebrating this
with all of you.
Um, can you officially havean official grand opening
when the place has alreadybeen officially opened?
[Abby] Well, I think
if it was unofficially openedby mistake, then it's fine.
Well, considering it's stillcalled the Inn at Eagle Point,
can you have a thirdgrand opening?
Let's just hope the termitesdon't find this one too.
[gasps, laughter]
What? Too soon?
-Too soon!-Way too soon.
Scissors.[clears throat]
Um...
Oh, here,we forgot the scissors.
I'll be right back.
Okay.
[♪]
[clears throat]
[Kevin] Technically,it's a re-grand opening.
[Connor] Or a re-grandopening once removed.
[gasps]
I can get the scissors!
I got 'em!
This drawer sticks.
It's sticky.
We need to fix it.
Yeah, good idea.
So...
big day.
Yeah.
One that'll changeour lives forever.
Right.
Let's get to it.

Hey.
Hello.
Listen, thank youfor helping out.
Of course.
It's fun.
It's like "Bring Your DaughterTo Work" Week.
[chuckles]
What if we made ita full-time thing?
You running O'BrienConstruction with me.
What?
Not as an employee,but a full-time partner.
Wow, I mean, I...
[chuckles]
I don't know what to say.
Well, would you think about it?
Yeah, yeah, of course.
Want some more coffee?
I'm good,thank you.
Okay, think about it.
Bye.
[chuckling] Bye.
I'm trying to planthe third course.
Do you suggestan antipasto or a salad?
So much for Kevin'swedding dinner being low key.
Uh, Dad, when have we everdone anything low key?
[Nell] Anythingworth doing
is worth overdoing.
A strongO'Brien motto.
Tickets...for opening night...
That's exciting.Thank you.
...and Gran, here are yoursfor the matinee
with Carrie, Caitlyn,
Jess, and David.
Oh, thank you.
Bree, have you readthis review of your play
in the Tribune?
Someone must have cometo the preview.
Oh, no, no,I don't read reviews.
If you took the good,you have to take the bad.
That's too bad.
It says your dialogue sparkles.
Really?
It also says thatsome of your characters
are out of touchwith reality, but--
Really?
[Jess] I'm not hereto talk about my life.
I just need paprika.
There are thingscalled grocery stores.
Oh, but then I wouldn'tget to see your pretty faces.
"Out of touch"?
I say, "true to life."
Right.
Okay, I also needcinnamon and cardamom...
all the "mon" spices.
I'm going to needanother cup of coffee.
Hey, Connor, are yougoing to join us for--
No time, Dad.
Uh, I gotta grab my other suit.I got a big meeting today.
It's so niceto have the family
all together again,isn't it?
Hey, Gran.
Darling, your lunchis right there on the counter.
Don't you knowthey have grocery stores?
Well, Sarah's family ismeeting us at the station.
And Kevin and I aredomestically challenged.
Does anybody in this familyknow how to cook?
[cell phone ringing]
[family] No!
Yeah, hey.
Yeah, yeah, I'm justabout to head out now.
-Hi, Megan.-Hi.
Okay. All right.
[Megan]So I'm here to help.
Hi, honey.
I can't waitfor the party.
Oh, we can help too,
but I'm taking the paprika,
so no paprikash.
Paprikash...
Only one?
[chuckles]
So you're not hereto ask me to leave?
Strange as itmay sound...
I actually havea solution.
Let me guess.
It involvesme and Emma.
I just let her know.
I'd like to recorda few of her songs,
and I want youto produce.
No, how many timesdo I gotta tell you?
I'm not going backto Nashville.
You weren'tlistening.
If the Riley can'tcome to the mountain,
the mountainwill come to Riley.
You can do it right herein Chesapeake Shores.
I'm not set up here
to record anythingprofessionally.
Trace, you'rejumping the gun.
Now, I wouldn't bemuch of a manager
if I didn't make itworth your while.
I'll pay you to produce,
and that shouldcover the cost
to installyour own studio
right here at the Bridge.
Now, that's always beenyour dream, hasn't it?
And if everything works out,
Emma will be the first of many.
I think I justhooked a fish.
[chuckles]
More likecircling the bait,
but I have to think about it.
Think about what?
Producing?
Or producing for Emma?
[Megan] And look at these.
Two perfect brushes.
[Mick] I can't rememberwhen you looked this happy.
[Megan chuckles]
There's beena few times,
but I haven'tbought paints for myself
since I waspregnant with Bree.
That's funny.
Why did you stop?
I don't know.
You were working,
Abby and Kevin weretaking up all my time,
and there justwasn't room for it.
I'm sorry.
I'm not.
I like to think
that what happensis supposed to happen.
There's a timingfor everything, Mick.
Yeah...
including whento retaliate.
What?
Congratulations,Bree O'Brien.
And to you, Hannah Urso.
Well, I hope you poureda glass for me.
Never.
[chuckles]
That's okay.I brought my own.
I hopeyou don't mind.
My agent wantedto meet you.
Oh... sure.
Brian Higgins, UCA.
You know,since I've known Hannah,
she always hasa glass of champagne
the day before opening,
and she never offers me one,
so I alwayscome prepared.
[chuckles]
It's very niceto meet you, Brian.
You too.
[chuckling]
Hannah, can I botheryou for a minute?
Yeah, yeah.
Uh... I'll beright back.
Remember,he only gets 10%.
[chuckling]
Thank you.
Mm-hmm.
So who are yourepped by?
No one.
You're... you're kidding.
You've done all thison your own?
A best-selling noveland three produced plays?
Honestly, I don't even knowwhy I'm talking to you.
What?
Well, you seem to be doingpretty great on your own.
I...
I-I am.
[stammering]I am, thanks so much.
So... what do youwant to do next?
[sighs]
Everybody keeps asking me that,
and, um...
I don't have a plan... yet.
Okay.
Then we should do lunch.
Do people actually say that,"do lunch"?
They say itwhen it's more about business
and not even about lunch...
Hmm.
[laughs]
...but we can eatif you want.
Yeah?
[chuckles] Cheers.
So let's narrow it downto just the offense.
Mm-hmm.
Average costof raising a child?
Don't forget aboutfootball pads
and Band-Aids.
How about college and food?
All right, fine, be that way.
Well?
[sighs]
Okay, so I'm thinkingthat we have 2.5 kids.
[chuckles]
Don't thinkit works that way.
I had no idea kidswere this expensive.
Sarah, Kevin.
Good to see youagain, sir.
Hey, it's Dad now.
Oh.
Yeah, goodto see you, Dad.
So, are you guysenjoying the fire hall?
This placeis awesome, yeah.
Ah, you know,
it could use a good cleaning.
[scoffs]Just ignore him.
So, how's marital bliss?
Jess, I have a question.
Why, yes, David Peck.
You can ask.
Right.
Should we leave roomfor tulips or begonias?
Begonias.
I'm sorry.
This can't wait any longer.
I know.
I'm ready.
Just ask.
Okay. Sure.
I was thinking...
that we should have peoplepark alongside the house
rather thanin the driveway.
What do you think?
I think that'san excellent proposal.
Excuse me.I have a question.
You had guests herelast week, right?
Uh, yes, uh...
It was crazy.
We were so not prepared,but, you know,
it worked outperfectly, sort of.
Sorry, who are you?
Rob Crone.
I work with the city
small businesslicense division.
I'm here becauseour tourism office
has received rave reviewsabout an inn
that wasn'tsupposed to be open.
According to our records,
your occupancy permitdidn't go into effect
until yesterday.
Well, I think that
I can explain that.
See, there was a mistakewith the dates,
so we had tolet people in early.
Right.
There weren't any complaintsor anything, were there?
I don't know.That's not my department,
but I do know
you were operatingan inn illegally
without a license.
Well, I'm sure that we canpay any fine there is.
Well, it's prettysubstantial...
municipal code 31-A,paragraph two.
Wow...
That is substantial.
Mm.
Yeah.
Uh, wha--
So what do you think?
It sounds perfect.
Emma, about that...
You can produce,
maybe writesome of the songs,
and we can do it allright here.
That's not it.
It's just...
I've been thinking
maybe you'd be better off
recording withanother producer.
But the whole reasonthis is happening
is because Mark thinkswe work well together.
Well, if there's one thingI've learned in my career,
it's to not mixbusiness with pleasure.
Trace...
Besides,
to get a recording studioup and running,
it takes time.
Well, I don'tmind the wait,
and I could use the practice.
I just...
can't think of anyone betterto produce my first single.
Trace, come on.
Would you at leastthink about it?
Yeah.
[Abby] It's notthat I hate the idea...
[Jay] Right.
...and it's not thatI'm not excited, but...
Mm-hmm?
You know, I justnever thought
that I might be runningthe family business.
It's not really a typicalfamily business, is it?
No, I guess it's not.
Hmm.
And what do your brothersand sisters think?
Ooh, I don't know.
I haven't told them yet.
So I'm the first?
Wow, I mean,that's kind of special.
Okay, I seewhere you're going with this,
and I'm still debating
if I'm going to acceptyour friend request.
Oh, ouch!
You are cold, Winters.
Oof!
[laughing]
Okay...
Oh, this is not good.
Abby, um...
Plymouth Rockis important why?
Because it's wherethe Pilgrims landed.
Mm-hmm,
but according toone of my students,
it's where Pocahontaslearned to sing.
[laughing]
Well, hey, you know?
That could be true.
Oh, you're way too easyof a grader.
[laughing]
So, what do you think?
Maybe we could go out sometime
without takingour homework with us?
Yeah, that'd be nice.
Great.
[♪]
[laughing] Okay, so wait,
the hummingbirds aren'tactual hummingbirds?
No, no, they are!
They're just alsoa metaphor, okay?
They're derived from
two separateliterary references,
one fromancient Greece.
What?
You overthink everything,including overthinking.
Yes, I do,
which is why I'm notgoing to think about
what I'm going to sayto Brian Higgins.
Who?
Oh, just an agent...
who asked mefor lunch...
-Ooh.-...and he's going to ask
all kinds of hardpersonal questions, probably.
Well, what's wrongwith that?
You've alreadygiven away
our entire family'slife history of secrets.
[chuckles] This is true...
Although, wait.
I have somethat you don't know.
Dad just asked meto work with him full time...
and Jay also asked me on a date.
Whoa, whoa,whoa, wait.
You're going towork with Dad?
Well, I haven't decided yet.
[Jess]Bigger wait...
You've already beenon a billion dates with Jay.
[chuckles]
Yeah, but this onedoesn't involve working.
Oh, Mama,you need help.
What? You did thatall the time with Simon.
All you did was write.
Well, and youown an inn with David.
Yeah.
Oh... right.
Well, then, well, we allneed to get a life.
Yeah.
[clearing throat]
Uh, ring finger...
[gasping]
You're gettingengaged? What?!
Not yet,but I found the ring...
[gasping]
...but David's justobsessed with this permit
and this fine,
so future Jess has to wait.
Oh, my gosh!What does it look like?
It's really big!
It's beautiful,I love it!
I know,can you imagine it?
You know,we weren't surprised.
What, aboutKevin and Sarah?
No, you and Megan.
When Megan came back,
Robin and I just figuredit was a matter of time.
Yeah, well, I guesswe're slow learners.
Well, it takes a while
for you to smooth outthe rough edges.
Well, I just hope
we're not makingthe wrong choice.
I don't think the familycould take it.
Oh, I thinkyou'll be fine.
Oh, Megan and Iwill be fine.
It's justthat other thing.
What, Dilpher?
Yeah, yeah.
How you holding up?
Well, as of today,I'm firing back.
I've got three lawsuitsagainst him and his company.
If you need any help,let me know.
Oh, thanks,I appreciate that,
but I know you and Connorare real busy.
I'll be okay.
What do you mean?
Well, he said he hada big day today.
Really?
I purposely have been giving hima light workload.
Don't tell him,but next month,
I'm giving him first chairon the Hubert case.
Oh.
I think he'sgoing to love it.
It's out of New York.
Oh, that's great.
He'll never come back.
Mick, is there somethingyou're not telling me?
Always.
Connor,
you're lookingdeep in thought.
I'm more like
drowning in conflictinglegal theories.
Trying to pinpoint
where these otherlawyers went wrong.
Is there anythingI can do to help you?
[chuckles]
Well, unless you want tothrow me a life jacket,
I think I'm okaysinking on my own.
[laughing]
No.
You know, I really could useDanielle right now.
Well, now,
you miss her,don't you?
Of course,
because you always bouncedeverything off of her.
That is very true.
She's the very firstperson I would call
when I want to talk law.
That's right.
Hey.
-Oh, hey.-Hi!
What are youup to?
I am going to gosketch at the beach.
Well, that sounds lovely.
I'd love some company. Huh?
You? Nell?
Oh, I'm gettingmy driver's license renewed.
It expired.
Everything expires.
Yeah.
Relationships...
Yeah.
...and everything.
Gran, you are a genius!
[chuckles in confusion]
Yes!
[chuckling]
Any ideawhat that was about?
I haven't a clue.
[Sarah] On the plus side,he didn't break your hand.
[Kevin] No,but I do think
that he crackedone of my vertebrae.
[laughing]
It was nicehaving him here,
but between you and me,
there was not a speck of duston that fire engine.
Yeah, he told me.
He said he did it
just to give youa hard time.
[chuckles]
Seeing themmade me realize
how much I miss them.
So is that why
you organizedthe tour of the bay?
We used to go onthese road trips
all the timewhen I was a kid.
Kevin, I loveliving here with you,
but seeing themjust made me realize
I want them to bepart of our lives too.
All right, we just needto lose that handshake.
I mean, does your dadever let up?
Only ifhe doesn't like you.
Well, then he mustlove me.
I just don't understand
why you're suddenly so eagerto send me to Nashville.
You know I'm not ready.
Emma, you are.
Besides, you're nevergoing to feel completely ready.
You've justgot to go for it.
That's exactlywhat I'm trying to do.
You helped mefinish my song, and...
I really thoughtwe had something.
We work welltogether, Trace,
and you've told methat doesn't happen often.
And I really like workingwith you, too, Emma.
So what's going on?
Why are you suddenlypulling back?
Hey, Trace?
How's it going?
Jay.
Hey, Abby.
Hey.
Uh, Emma,you remember Jay.
I know you.
Schoolteacher.
That's right, yeah.
And this is Abby.
-Nice to meet you, Emma.-Hey.
Trace.
Yeah.
[♪]
So...
that's her.
Hmm?
You still have feelingsfor her, don't you?
It's just, uh...
It's not that simple.
You know,we grew up together.
I mean, we've known each othersince we were kids.
So, wait, you did thisvoluntarily?
Well, it seemed likea good idea at the time.
Brothers' weekend,
bonding,
but by mile five,covered in mud,
and climbingup a rope ladder...
So, uh,when you get to Nashville,
I'd look into some open mics.
It's a great wayto test out new material.
...I was beginning to think...
[Trace] ...I know theowner of the Palace Station...
What did yourbrothers think?
Well, Pete thoughtit was hilarious,
and Nate, he didn'ttalk to me for a week.
I'd start withthe Bluebird Cafe,
but there's also Puckett'sand Douglas's Corner,
and there's the Mercy Lounge...
Hey, do you wantto get out of here?
Maybe grab a biteat Giovanni's instead?
I would love that.
Thank you.
All right.
Take it easy, Trace.
Yeah, you too.
Bye.
So...
where were we?
Thank you.
So, what do you want?
I think I'm going to gowith the garbanzo bean salad
with the honey vinaigrette.
Sounds delicious.
I think I'm going to go withthe chicken club and fries,
but that is notwhat I was asking.
Oh, it wasn't?
No.
What do you wantin your career?
Well, um, I mean,
I'd like to write a seriesof short stories, and...
I have another play in mind.
Right, I know,
and you're already doingall those things on your own.
Listen, Bree,you are successful,
and what you've donewithout an agent,
it's pretty amazing,
so if you likeyour life right now,
you don't need me.
You'll stay here,you'll keep writing,
and you'll continueto be successful.
Okay.
So... why do I need you?
[laughing]
Ha ha, right,
because I am notabout the next book.
I'm about the next 10 years.
[exhales nervously]Okay, so you should know
that I can barelyhandle tomorrow.
[chuckles]Which is why you need me.
While you worry about you,
my job is to worryabout the future you.
Hmm.
Oh, and that's the questionyou want me to answer, right,
the "where do I see myselfin 10 years?"
Yeah, but you don't needto know the answer right away.
I just need to know
that you're willingto ask the question,
because I canonly take you
as far as you're willing to go.
I'm going to have togive up some things too,
though, right?
Yeah, that's the price.
So, Bree...
what do you want?
So, are you readyto dazzle me?
We'll see.
Connor, we've lostthis case once,
so if you've come backwithout knowing how to win it,
I'm not sure whatyou're bringing to the table.
Linda, when is the lawnot the law?
Just because a lawis cited and obeyed
doesn't mean thatit actually exists.
Okay, I'm intrigued.
Go on.
You and the prosecution
presumed that previouslegal findings were actionable,
but you failed to considera simple sunset clause.
Laws expire.
We looked into that.
You did, but onlywith city laws,
not the supersedingcounty laws.
You tried to protecta hospital's lease,
but you readily accepteda zoning issue
that no longer existed.
The county'szoning restrictions
had a sunset clause,
and had your team known that,
the case would've beenthrown out.
It should've nevergone to trial.
[chuckles ruefully]
What tipped you off?
My grandma'sdriver's license.
It expired...
and so didmy last relationship...
and it dawned on me
that everything hasan expiration date.
The trick is knowingwhen it is
and beingprepared for it...
because they sneak up on you...
and, in the end,
you have to realizewhen something's over,
even when you don't wantto let it go.
I've always believed
that a good lawyerunderstands not just the law
but people, too.
I'll see you on Monday.
We start at 8:00.
Thank you.
[Megan] It was wonderful.
I got off work,went to Remmey Beach,
and did some sketches.
Anything that mightbe a painting?
I'm not sure yet.
I can't really do anything
until I getmy studio set up.
Are you asking for help?
Nah...
Okay, yes.
[chuckles]
You did offer.
No, I did,and I want to help.
So, what'son the agenda?
Okay, now,picture this...
hardwood floorsin the second bedroom,
replacing the windowsfor better light,
and raising the ceiling.
Oh, is that all?
Mm-hmm.
I'll cook you dinner.
Oh, that's good.
Hey!
Hey.
Where's Sarahand her family?
Oh, they're just takinga drive along the shore.
Well, I'm excitedto meet them,
but it's nice to have justa moment with you, Kevin.
Yeah, yeah, it'll be nice,
a little weird.
I guess I'm just gettingused to being married.
Is it that different?
I don't know.
Sarah and I have beentalking about having kids,
and she's probably right.
Just have two or three.
So you did the math?
Yeah.
That's why I'm still working.
[laughing]
Oh, who are youkidding, Mick?
You work becauseyou love it.
[♪]
Are you goingto share?
No! Give me that back.
[Bree] How are things here
with the, um...
you know, the ing-ray?
Not a word on the ing-rayor the engagement-ay.
It's okay. It's okay.It's gonna happen.
Yeah, eventually,
when the feng shuirealigns
with municipal code 31-A,paragraph two.
Ever since, David'sbeen at city hall,
arguing with them,
saying it's notabout money.
It's about principle.
[chuckling]
You guys really areperfect for each other.
I know it sounds silly,
but when I sawthe ring,
I didn't justsee the ring.
I saw David,
and it felt likemy whole life made sense,
and I always thought
that I would be on the outsidelooking in
at you and Abbybeing happily married,
which...
I'm sorry, no offense.
No, Jess...
of all the people in the world,
you deserve this most.
Thank you.
[laughing happily]
Hey, did it work?
In order to waive the fine,
I have to filefive different appeals.
I'm going to be up allnight doing paperwork,
and then we have to waitfor city council to review it,
which could take a month
or two.
Wait?
For two months?
I don't think so.
It's already been24 hours,
and I have beenpatiently waiting,
and it's killing me.
I'm not just goingto stand idly by
while a city officialstops me
from a lifetimeof happiness and love.
I'm going to findthis Rob Crone
and tell him that he'sstanding in the way
of my "happily ever after."
It's about the feng shui.
[♪]
You brought me...
an eclair.
[chuckles]
That is incrediblysweet of you.
Well, it's notas sweet as you think.
It was the last one,
and there was thisvery nice elderly couple
who were tryingto order it,
but I pulled itfrom the counter.
There's no bite marks.
Yeah, I figuredyou'd prefer it unchewed.
[chuckles]
So, that was, uh,awkward yesterday.
[chuckles]
Yeah.
Um...
it's over with Trace.
Yeah, I know.
Just becausewe have history
does not meanthat we have a future.
Yeah.
I know that too.
Yeah.
It's just that,you know, sometimes
the past has a wayof sticking around.
Yes, and in a small town,
it's especially hardto avoid it.
Oh, very true.
So...
what do we do now?
I think we take it slow...
or we couldtake it fast,
but nobody reallysays that, do they?
[chuckling]
No, they don't.
Uh... but...
Abby, I understand.
Really, I do.
No matter whathappens with us,
it'll always be differentbetween you and me,
and I'm okay with it.
So...
slow, then?
Like turtles.
Or molasses.
Oh, good one.
[chuckles]
Come here.
[♪]
A list of some friendsin Nashville,
people you can trust.
You really thinkI'm ready?
I really do.
What aboutyour recording studio?
I'm stillgoing to build it.
For you?
Yeah, for me.
Hopefully I can finishwhat I started here.
Thank you.
[chuckling]
For what?
For believing in me.
Emma, you're talented,
and right now, you needto follow your dreams,
and I needto follow mine.
You're goingto be great.
I hope it works outfor you too.
You're one ofthe good ones, Trace.
Come here.
So have you officiallytaken the job?
Yeah.
Yeah, I officiallytook it.
And listen,Uncle Thomas,
I really want to let you know
how much I appreciate
everythingyou did for me,
and the responsibilitythat you gave me
when I first started out.
But it was time to move on.
Exactly,it's time to move on.
I just...
I really want to see
what I can do on my own,you know?
Hey, you don't haveto explain it to me.
Denzer, Lewis,and Phelps
is a great firm.
Linda Nelson isa tough attorney,
but...
and I hope you don'tmind me saying this,
have you thought aboutwhy they wanted you?
Uh, what do you mean?
Look, Connor, any firmwould be lucky to have you.
You have a great feelfor the law,
but Nelson is a shark,
and she'll attackwhen you least expect it.
[chuckles]
Isn't that what attorneys do?
Not againsttheir own team.
Uncle Thomas?
If you think you canpersuade me
by any and all means,Miss O'Brien,
you aresadly mistaken.
I am a rock,
standing...
nay, sitting, firm
against a seaof impropriety.
Rob...
have you everbeen in love?
Yes.
Yes, I have.
Chickpeas and garbanzo beansare the same thing.
It's not that complicated.
Do you know what elseisn't complicated?
Love...
marriage...
finding the person
you're meant to be with...
I mean, unless you're notwith the person
that you're meant to be with.
Then it isabsolutely complicated,
but you don't have that excuse.
No, I guess I don't.
Mm-mm.
So what's stopping you?
Congratulations.
I am so happyfor you.
[Jess crying]
Good luck.
[sniffling]
[front door closes]
We're back in business.
[laughing]
Yeah!
Yes!
So either carsare getting smaller,
or my brothersare getting bigger.
[chuckles]
I think your brothersare getting bigger.
But it was worth it,
because my dad evenstarted singing "Kokomo."
[chuckles]
Your dad is a fanof the Beach Boys?
Mm-hmm.
It's why I learnedhow to surf.
Hawaii.
I love Hawaii.
Oceanand mountains.
For our honeymoon?
It's perfect.
I was alsothinking that...
we should go to your family'sfor Christmas.
Really?
Yeah.
I don't want to take youaway from your family,
and I want to be a Merceras much as you are an O'Brien.
So you're as sweetas you are mildly cute?
Again withthe "mildly cute"?
I love you.
I love you too.
Wow, no hesitation.
None at all.
You going to eat that?
They're all yours.
I can feela shift coming...
a monumental shift.
No, you'recheating.
What?
You're cheating.You...
It's...
It's like you'vealready time-traveled.
You know thatthere's a ring,
so it's not, in fact,a monumental shift.
It is a tiny shuffle.
I'm not talkingabout me.
I'm-- Well,I'm, a little bit,
but I'm talkingabout you guys.
Something bigis going to happen,
for both of you.

the families you have,
and those that you will have.
