00:00:16,976 --> 00:00:20,151
Oh.

4
00:00:25,218 --> 00:00:29,424
Oh...
(Exhales)

5
00:00:39,573 --> 00:00:44,439
Hey. Yeah.
(Whistles)

6
00:00:46,810 --> 00:00:49,510
Oh, yeah. Yeah.

7
00:00:50,477 --> 00:00:52,043
Did something happen to our
garage?

8
00:00:52,713 --> 00:00:54,245
No, it's just when working
there too early, I get

9
00:00:54,281 --> 00:00:55,516
complaints from next door.

10
00:00:55,918 --> 00:00:58,055
Totally. Yes.

11
00:00:58,357 --> 00:01:01,589
I imagine waking up to that
sound could be really jarring.

12
00:01:01,658 --> 00:01:04,190
Look, I just I promised Andrew
I'd get these to the theater so

13
00:01:04,225 --> 00:01:05,592
the kids can rehearse with them.

14
00:01:07,899 --> 00:01:09,465
I mean, it's really cute.

15
00:01:09,767 --> 00:01:11,335
Yeah? Yeah? Yeah.

16
00:01:11,371 --> 00:01:14,138
Almost as cute as the stack of
candy canes in here and in the

17
00:01:14,174 --> 00:01:16,809
dining room. The stockings
hanging in the shower.

18
00:01:16,844 --> 00:01:18,341
Yeah, those are probably dry by
now.

19
00:01:18,942 --> 00:01:20,409
Oh, Kelly.
Yeah.

20
00:01:20,845 --> 00:01:22,181
Christmas is everywhere.

21
00:01:22,850 --> 00:01:25,116
Baby, you love Christmas
decorations.

22
00:01:25,152 --> 00:01:27,783
Yeah, I love ours, which are
still in the attic.

23
00:01:27,819 --> 00:01:30,089
Exhibit A: Our tree.

24
00:01:32,352 --> 00:01:33,620
You're right. It's very sad.

25
00:01:34,155 --> 00:01:35,457
It's very, very sad.

26
00:01:36,957 --> 00:01:39,296
Okay. We need to get this place
decorated before the invasion.

27
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:41,727
Not the invasion.

28
00:01:43,832 --> 00:01:47,034
Hosting both of our families for
Christmas is a really big deal.

29
00:01:47,403 --> 00:01:50,772
And ultimately,
I don't care what our place

30
00:01:50,807 --> 00:01:51,473
looks like.

31
00:01:52,740 --> 00:01:55,145
You know that's not true,
right? Oh, absolutely.

32
00:01:55,181 --> 00:01:58,943
Your mother, my mother,
six siblings between us.

33
00:01:58,979 --> 00:02:01,616
And then we've got spouses and
partners and kids. That's a lot

34
00:02:01,651 --> 00:02:04,520
of opinions in a house whose
halls have not been decked.

35
00:02:05,289 --> 00:02:07,058
We definitely got to finish that
tree today.

36
00:02:07,093 --> 00:02:09,624
Well, today is already
overbooked as it is,

37
00:02:09,660 --> 00:02:13,995
so I have to hop in the shower
because I have a standing coffee

38
00:02:14,030 --> 00:02:15,997
date to get to.
Really?

39
00:02:16,032 --> 00:02:17,732
Mhm.
Anyone I know?

40
00:02:18,101 --> 00:02:19,270
Oh you've seen her around.

41
00:02:23,438 --> 00:02:25,804
Hello? That was even faster than
usual.

42
00:02:26,776 --> 00:02:27,410
Hello.

43
00:02:31,785 --> 00:02:33,252
Good morning, Mr. Seltzer.

44
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:35,287
We agreed that you wouldn't
start before ten in the morning.

45
00:02:35,322 --> 00:02:37,684
We did not agree to that. It's
just a thing that you said.

46
00:02:37,752 --> 00:02:39,951
You also said that I should stop
by two in the afternoon.

47
00:02:40,020 --> 00:02:42,861
So if I come by your schedule,
I'm going to get the set for the

48
00:02:42,897 --> 00:02:44,190
Christmas show finished by
Easter.

49
00:02:44,259 --> 00:02:45,660
It's not just me, you know.

50
00:02:46,029 --> 00:02:47,496
The noise upsets my dog.

51
00:02:48,032 --> 00:02:49,434
Never heard Daisy complain.

52
00:02:49,737 --> 00:02:50,761
I can see it in her eyes.

53
00:02:50,796 --> 00:02:52,835
You know what? Why don't you
think of it as

54
00:02:52,871 --> 00:02:54,105
supporting the arts?

55
00:02:54,140 --> 00:02:55,266
I'd be happy to give you a
couple of free

56
00:02:55,302 --> 00:02:56,406
tickets to the show.

57
00:02:57,506 --> 00:02:58,804
Great. Maybe I can get some
sleep there.

58
00:03:00,479 --> 00:03:01,874
Okay. You know what? We're gonna
head out for a few hours so

59
00:03:01,910 --> 00:03:03,979
you'll have a bit of peace and
quiet. You have a great Sunday

60
00:03:04,015 --> 00:03:05,547
now, Mr. Seltzer. Bye bye.

61
00:03:09,356 --> 00:03:12,088
I mean, I don't get it. He's
just so grumpy all of the time.

62
00:03:12,123 --> 00:03:14,125
You know what my mom
would say?

63
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:16,255
We should bring him a hot dish,
a lasagna,

64
00:03:16,291 --> 00:03:17,659
stuffed shells, something.

65
00:03:18,061 --> 00:03:19,429
Tis the season.
No.

66
00:03:19,464 --> 00:03:22,327
Mr. Salter's behavior does not
warrant a hot dish.

67
00:03:22,362 --> 00:03:23,529
Good morning. Ladies.

68
00:03:23,598 --> 00:03:25,534
Good morning. Your orders coming
right up.

69
00:03:27,906 --> 00:03:29,338
My phone is at 10%.

70
00:03:29,373 --> 00:03:30,801
I guess I forgot to charge it
last night.

71
00:03:30,836 --> 00:03:32,540
You never remember to charge
that thing.

72
00:03:32,575 --> 00:03:34,477
Chocolate croissant and two
latte. Thank you.

73
00:03:36,343 --> 00:03:37,744
How can I help you?

74
00:03:37,812 --> 00:03:39,818
Paxton called in sick,
so I'm gonna have to go to the

75
00:03:39,853 --> 00:03:41,284
store and help Sheryl close up.

76
00:03:41,319 --> 00:03:42,882
Honey. Is that gonna leave you
enough time?

77
00:03:42,918 --> 00:03:48,026
Yes. Yes, I will have more than
enough time to help you decorate

78
00:03:48,094 --> 00:03:50,961
the theater. Then I'll go into
work,

79
00:03:50,996 --> 00:03:53,197
get the important shipments out,

80
00:03:53,232 --> 00:03:55,495
and then I'm gonna meet you at
the gala.

81
00:03:55,530 --> 00:03:57,135
Okay, look, I brought
everything.

82
00:03:57,171 --> 00:03:59,196
I got my dress. I'll get ready
at the store.

83
00:03:59,465 --> 00:04:01,369
Honestly. Super simple.

84
00:04:01,404 --> 00:04:02,901
Sounds like a lot of moving
parts.

85
00:04:02,970 --> 00:04:08,140
Well, then, aren't you lucky
that you married a masterful

86
00:04:08,175 --> 00:04:09,644
multitasker?

87
00:04:14,613 --> 00:04:19,385
Okay. Are you ready for tonight?

88
00:04:19,420 --> 00:04:21,187
I'm ready for the opportunity.

89
00:04:21,656 --> 00:04:24,021
You've earned this.
I have earned this.

90
00:04:25,198 --> 00:04:27,266
Oh, I'm just glad somebody
finally noticed.

91
00:04:29,503 --> 00:04:32,667
Cute.

92
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:35,274
Jealous?

93
00:04:35,908 --> 00:04:37,034
Not even a little bit.

94
00:04:39,273 --> 00:04:40,543
Happy back here.

95
00:04:45,547 --> 00:04:47,380
Okay, Erin, your side is too
low.

96
00:04:47,882 --> 00:04:49,821
How is this just us.
What happened to all the other

97
00:04:49,857 --> 00:04:51,048
volunteers from the board?

98
00:04:51,083 --> 00:04:53,217
That's the problem with
volunteers. Participation isn't

99
00:04:53,253 --> 00:04:54,156
mandatory.

100
00:04:54,191 --> 00:04:55,156
Okay, wait.
No, no, Kelly,

101
00:04:55,191 --> 00:04:56,357
your side is too high.

102
00:04:56,626 --> 00:04:59,093
Andrew, do you want to hop on up
here and maybe

103
00:04:59,128 --> 00:05:00,057
I can take a look?

104
00:05:00,801 --> 00:05:01,592
No, I think this is it.

105
00:05:01,660 --> 00:05:03,901
No. No Erin's side is too low.

106
00:05:03,936 --> 00:05:04,868
Why'd you move? What?

107
00:05:04,904 --> 00:05:06,271
I didn't know I did.

108
00:05:06,340 --> 00:05:08,340
Hey, can one of you guys feed my
cats over Christmas?

109
00:05:08,375 --> 00:05:10,568
I got a free couple nights at
the casino in Saratoga.

110
00:05:10,603 --> 00:05:12,438
I redecorated their restaurant.

111
00:05:12,473 --> 00:05:14,906
You're spending Christmas alone?

112
00:05:14,975 --> 00:05:17,313
Do you have to say it like that?
Come to our place.

113
00:05:17,348 --> 00:05:19,145
With both your families family's
there?

114
00:05:19,647 --> 00:05:21,782
Yeah. Do you have to say it like
that?

115
00:05:22,716 --> 00:05:24,855
Yes, yes. Ladies,
this is perfect.

116
00:05:24,891 --> 00:05:25,922
Hang it right there.

117
00:05:25,990 --> 00:05:27,585
Nobody move! Yeah!

118
00:05:27,620 --> 00:05:29,957
Oh. Look at all these old toys.

119
00:05:30,526 --> 00:05:32,123
Oh. Were these yours when you're
younger?

120
00:05:32,726 --> 00:05:34,091
Exactly how old do you think I
am?

121
00:05:35,569 --> 00:05:35,862
Yeah.

122
00:05:37,300 --> 00:05:38,733
Okay. No. One of you moved.

123
00:05:46,774 --> 00:05:48,706
You should be getting ready and
heading out,

124
00:05:48,742 --> 00:05:50,344
or you're gonna be late.
I know.

125
00:05:50,379 --> 00:05:53,451
Have the most wonderful time.

126
00:05:53,486 --> 00:05:54,811
I will. Do you have a cell phone
charger I could borrow?

127
00:05:55,314 --> 00:05:58,152
No, no, no, I can barely keep
one in the house before the kids

128
00:05:58,188 --> 00:06:00,021
steal it. So. Night.

129
00:06:00,057 --> 00:06:00,359
Night Sheryl.

130
00:06:01,592 --> 00:06:03,088
Why don't I ever remember to
charge this phone?

131
00:06:03,357 --> 00:06:04,627
Okay. All right.

132
00:06:09,462 --> 00:06:12,563
Oh, hey.
Hey.

133
00:06:12,598 --> 00:06:13,663
Oh, don't we look sharp?

134
00:06:13,732 --> 00:06:16,006
Don't we? Um. Where's Erin?

135
00:06:16,408 --> 00:06:20,374
She's on her way. I'm sure.
I should call.

136
00:06:20,409 --> 00:06:21,912
You should call. I'm gonna call.

137
00:06:21,948 --> 00:06:23,910
I'm just gonna call.

138
00:06:26,346 --> 00:06:27,914
Oh, okay.

139
00:06:29,387 --> 00:06:31,949
Ah. I am almost ready,
I promise.

140
00:06:31,984 --> 00:06:35,488
Erin? Kelly!
Everybody is sitting down.

141
00:06:35,523 --> 00:06:37,321
I am practically out the door.

142
00:06:37,390 --> 00:06:38,859
Okay, well.

143
00:06:38,895 --> 00:06:40,365
Listen, you're right at the
front with Travis, and I'm

144
00:06:40,401 --> 00:06:42,566
gonna look right at you,
and I accept, okay? Okay.

145
00:06:42,601 --> 00:06:44,733
Now you're just slowing me down.
Gotta go. Love you. Bye.

146
00:06:47,700 --> 00:06:49,002
She isn't gonna make it, is she?

147
00:06:49,738 --> 00:06:52,107
Yes she will. This is way too
important.

148
00:06:52,642 --> 00:06:54,810
Oh, really? I'm here to make it
interesting.

149
00:06:54,879 --> 00:06:56,774
Oh. 20 bucks she's in that seat
before Kelly accepts the award

150
00:06:56,810 --> 00:06:58,780
You. Oh, I will,
so take that bet.

151
00:06:58,815 --> 00:07:01,649
Andrew, you want in? Oh,
I direct children's theater.

152
00:07:01,717 --> 00:07:03,818
Do you think I can spare an
extra 20 bucks?

153
00:07:04,991 --> 00:07:06,018
He's right. He's broke.

154
00:07:08,620 --> 00:07:09,860
Sheryl? That you?

155
00:07:10,129 --> 00:07:11,089
Did you forget something?

156
00:07:12,559 --> 00:07:13,960
Sorry. We're closed.

157
00:07:15,066 --> 00:07:17,502
(Baby crying)

158
00:07:18,365 --> 00:07:20,703
What the...

159
00:07:30,147 --> 00:07:33,452
Oh oh. Wow. Okay.

160
00:07:34,219 --> 00:07:39,557
Hello? Okay. Where's your mama?

161
00:07:40,290 --> 00:07:43,726
Huh? Anyone in here?

162
00:07:48,199 --> 00:07:49,864
Oh, this is so not okay.

163
00:07:51,036 --> 00:07:52,067
This is not okay.

164
00:07:52,570 --> 00:07:54,572
Oh. Your mother must be here
somewhere.

165
00:07:57,845 --> 00:08:01,139
Hello? Hello.

166
00:08:10,882 --> 00:08:14,119
Oh, hi. Why are you at my store?

167
00:08:14,453 --> 00:08:19,762
Okay.

168
00:08:23,229 --> 00:08:26,868
Kelly and Erin. I know you'll
take good care of him.

169
00:08:27,635 --> 00:08:29,435
What? His name is Nicholas.

170
00:08:29,470 --> 00:08:31,609
I'm sorry I tried.

171
00:08:38,613 --> 00:08:41,916
Hi. Hello there, Nicholas.

172
00:08:43,785 --> 00:08:45,888
Hi, there. This is Kelly leave a
message.

173
00:08:46,257 --> 00:08:48,286
Hey, babe. It's me.

174
00:08:48,321 --> 00:08:52,531
Um, I'm just wondering if by
chance you agreed for us to take

175
00:08:52,566 --> 00:08:55,395
care of a baby and,
uh, somehow forgot to tell me

176
00:08:55,463 --> 00:08:56,764
because the baby.

177
00:08:56,799 --> 00:08:59,271
He's here with me at the store
right now,

178
00:08:59,306 --> 00:09:02,974
Oh, great. My phone is dead
again.

179
00:09:03,710 --> 00:09:06,443
Okay, you know what? I'm sure
Kelly knows what's going on.

180
00:09:06,812 --> 00:09:09,773
Um, sure. This is just a big
misunderstanding or a very,

181
00:09:09,808 --> 00:09:11,011
very vivid nightmare.

182
00:09:13,285 --> 00:09:18,922
Oh, no no no. Hey hey hey hey,

183
00:09:18,957 --> 00:09:22,257
I didn't mean you're a
nightmare.
You seem like a great baby.

184
00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:25,960
Yeah, I just literally had this
exact nightmare.

185
00:09:28,135 --> 00:09:29,326
Oh, it's okay, it's okay.

186
00:09:31,632 --> 00:09:34,705
Oh. Are you hungry?

187
00:09:35,306 --> 00:09:37,837
Are you wet? Oh,
okay.

188
00:09:37,872 --> 00:09:39,811
Please don't spit up on this
dress.

189
00:09:40,213 --> 00:09:43,882
Okay. Hey. Oh, you like walking,

190
00:09:43,951 --> 00:09:45,509
don't you? Okay.

191
00:09:45,812 --> 00:09:47,950
Yeah. Let's keep walking.

192
00:09:48,286 --> 00:09:49,516
Let's keep walking.

193
00:09:49,852 --> 00:09:53,520
Okay. Yeah. That's what we're
gonna do.

194
00:09:53,522 --> 00:09:55,990
Yeah, yeah, this is good.

195
00:09:58,297 --> 00:10:00,157
Okay. Yeah. That's what we're
Hello. Hello and good evening.

196
00:10:00,193 --> 00:10:02,700
If I could ask everyone to
please be seated.

197
00:10:03,299 --> 00:10:04,130
Thank you.

198
00:10:06,268 --> 00:10:07,969
Oh.

199
00:10:10,138 --> 00:10:12,336
My Our first honoree,
spends her days as a production

200
00:10:12,372 --> 00:10:16,043
designer right here at the
Historic Community Theater.

201
00:10:16,078 --> 00:10:19,651
Now, this past spring,
she graciously agreed to lend

202
00:10:19,686 --> 00:10:22,145
her talents to a temporary
installation at the State

203
00:10:22,180 --> 00:10:24,849
Museum, The fish of the Hudson
River.

204
00:10:25,351 --> 00:10:31,056
Now. I'm delighted to announce
that in the coming year,

205
00:10:31,391 --> 00:10:35,492
Miss Townsend will lend her
skill and imagination to a new

206
00:10:35,527 --> 00:10:39,297
permanent installation at the
Museum of Upstate New York.

207
00:10:41,237 --> 00:10:41,871
Yes.

208
00:10:43,843 --> 00:10:47,878
And so, for her service to
humanities and education in

209
00:10:47,913 --> 00:10:52,083
Albany, it is my pleasure to
present the Civic Spirit Award

210
00:10:52,152 --> 00:10:53,377
to Miss Kelly Townsend.

211
00:11:01,888 --> 00:11:04,656
Wow. Thank you. Congratulations.

212
00:11:04,724 --> 00:11:05,855
Thank you so much.

213
00:11:05,891 --> 00:11:08,059
Thank you. Um. Wow.

214
00:11:08,094 --> 00:11:11,199
This is just such an incredible
honor.

215
00:11:11,234 --> 00:11:12,902
I'm...

216
00:11:20,272 --> 00:11:22,614
My phone was dead. Time was
running out.

217
00:11:22,683 --> 00:11:25,582
I didn't know what to do,
so I brought him here.

218
00:11:25,617 --> 00:11:26,848
Am I in shock? I think I'm in
shock.

219
00:11:26,883 --> 00:11:29,020
It's okay. I'm breathing. We're
drinking.

220
00:11:29,456 --> 00:11:31,151
Oh, my husband is gonna be so
mad.

221
00:11:31,186 --> 00:11:33,517
He's at home. I mean,
who just leaves a baby at a

222
00:11:33,586 --> 00:11:34,723
store?

223
00:11:34,758 --> 00:11:36,090
I mean, I was hoping you might
know.

224
00:11:37,723 --> 00:11:39,795
You think I forgot to mention
someone was loaning us their
kid?

225
00:11:39,830 --> 00:11:41,700
The note doesn't indicate this
is a loan.

226
00:11:42,034 --> 00:11:42,228
Huh?

227
00:11:43,335 --> 00:11:45,363
Okay, let's see here.

228
00:11:46,438 --> 00:11:49,937
Hi, people. Who are you calling?

229
00:11:50,006 --> 00:11:52,308
No, I'm googling what to do if
you find a baby.

230
00:11:52,376 --> 00:11:53,207
What does it say?

231
00:11:53,610 --> 00:11:56,014
Uh. Let's see. Baby birds.

232
00:11:56,083 --> 00:11:57,547
Baby squirrels.

233
00:11:57,583 --> 00:11:59,281
Baby squirrels are called
kittens.

234
00:11:59,317 --> 00:12:00,281
Just like cats.

235
00:12:00,716 --> 00:12:02,150
Okay, interesting. Not helpful.

236
00:12:02,486 --> 00:12:04,287
I don't know Jennifer.

237
00:12:04,356 --> 00:12:05,482
I mean, you're a lawyer.

238
00:12:06,192 --> 00:12:06,956
What do we do?

239
00:12:08,322 --> 00:12:09,290
I'm a real estate attorney. Is
the baby applying for a

240
00:12:09,359 --> 00:12:09,992
mortgage?

241
00:12:11,325 --> 00:12:13,025
Okay, well, I think it's well
past time to call 911.

242
00:12:13,327 --> 00:12:16,263
Thank you. But we we don't know
what will happen to him.

243
00:12:16,299 --> 00:12:19,838
Yes. What will happen is that
somebody who is trained to make

244
00:12:19,906 --> 00:12:23,569
Decisions on behalf of this
little boy is going to come and

245
00:12:23,604 --> 00:12:26,239
help. Erin,

246
00:12:27,005 --> 00:12:28,340
this is what he needs.

247
00:12:31,447 --> 00:12:33,114
Okay. Okay.

248
00:12:41,788 --> 00:12:44,659
Hello? Oh, okay.

249
00:12:44,962 --> 00:12:48,166
Who is Miss Pinelli and who is
Miss Townsend?

250
00:12:48,201 --> 00:12:50,166
Hi. Erin Pinelli.

251
00:12:50,435 --> 00:12:52,034
And Kelly Townsend.

252
00:12:52,069 --> 00:12:54,300
I'm Betty Mitchell from the
Department of Children,

253
00:12:54,368 --> 00:12:57,171
Youth and Families. I'm sorry
you had to wait so long.

254
00:12:58,278 --> 00:13:00,177
Oh, isn't he handsome?

255
00:13:00,713 --> 00:13:03,945
Yeah, he, um, he has a good
appetite.

256
00:13:04,181 --> 00:13:07,677
Uh, we gave him five ounces of
formula about an hour ago.

257
00:13:07,980 --> 00:13:09,413
And a diaper change.

258
00:13:09,449 --> 00:13:12,586
Oh well, it sounds like he's
been in good hands.

259
00:13:12,621 --> 00:13:16,392
Yeah. Here. Okay,

260
00:13:16,461 --> 00:13:17,455
I miss you already.

261
00:13:19,794 --> 00:13:21,063
We certainly tried.

262
00:13:21,697 --> 00:13:24,836
Um, so what happens now?

263
00:13:24,871 --> 00:13:27,504
I'll take him to the children's
hospital for assessment.

264
00:13:27,539 --> 00:13:28,869
He'll stay there overnight.

265
00:13:29,171 --> 00:13:31,606
During that time,
he'll remain in my custody.

266
00:13:32,276 --> 00:13:35,313
Then tomorrow, we'll place him
with a foster family while we

267
00:13:35,382 --> 00:13:36,575
try and locate the mother.

268
00:13:37,111 --> 00:13:38,916
Any clues to help us out on
that?

269
00:13:39,448 --> 00:13:39,950
Well.

270
00:13:41,788 --> 00:13:46,019
Just this note. Oh,
um, Betty, will you have.

271
00:13:46,087 --> 00:13:49,828
A difficulty finding a foster
family?

272
00:13:49,896 --> 00:13:52,358
Oh, no. There's always a waiting
list for healthy babies.

273
00:13:52,958 --> 00:13:54,228
Is that his bag?

274
00:13:54,595 --> 00:13:55,361
Uh, yes.

275
00:13:56,864 --> 00:13:58,966
Um, but the note said...

276
00:13:59,002 --> 00:14:00,567
The note put you under no
obligation,

277
00:14:00,603 --> 00:14:01,367
Miss Pinelli.

278
00:14:03,075 --> 00:14:05,239
I promise. Nicholas is safe with
me.
Come on little guy.

279
00:14:06,340 --> 00:14:10,047
Thank you. Oh, and if the
mother contacts you,

280
00:14:10,082 --> 00:14:13,651
or if you hear from the family,
please give them my number.

281
00:14:13,719 --> 00:14:15,612
Okay. Tell them I am just here
to help.

282
00:14:16,289 --> 00:14:17,383
Again. Thank you.

283
00:14:18,225 --> 00:14:18,948
Happy holidays.

284
00:14:18,984 --> 00:14:20,089
Happy holidays.

285
00:14:21,591 --> 00:14:23,822
Okay. All right.

286
00:14:23,891 --> 00:14:27,358
Here you are. I'm sorry.

287
00:14:27,427 --> 00:14:31,733
Your big night was overshadowed
by everything.

288
00:14:31,768 --> 00:14:33,731
Hey. No, we we did a good thing,

289
00:14:33,766 --> 00:14:34,268
right?

290
00:14:35,434 --> 00:14:37,106
I'm just glad Nicholas is going
to be okay.

291
00:14:38,375 --> 00:14:38,976
Yeah.

292
00:14:41,645 --> 00:14:44,448
What's wrong? Nothing.

293
00:14:45,150 --> 00:14:47,879
Erin, how many times are you
gonna make me ask before I get

294
00:14:47,947 --> 00:14:49,019
an honest answer?

295
00:14:50,683 --> 00:14:54,222
Nicholas's mother clearly wanted
him to come home with us.

296
00:14:55,288 --> 00:15:00,262
Yes, but she also neglected to
ask us.

297
00:15:00,297 --> 00:15:03,330
Well, what if she changes her
mind mine and comes back.

298
00:15:03,365 --> 00:15:07,169
What if this is someone we know
and she needs our help?

299
00:15:10,870 --> 00:15:12,175
Hey, T.J..

300
00:15:12,511 --> 00:15:13,571
He's all set for now.

301
00:15:15,213 --> 00:15:16,711
You mind if I catch a couple
hours sleep in the on call room?

302
00:15:16,747 --> 00:15:17,911
You're more than welcome.

303
00:15:17,946 --> 00:15:19,949
Thanks. Your night's not over.

304
00:15:19,985 --> 00:15:21,749
You have a couple. You're asking
about the baby.

305
00:15:21,784 --> 00:15:24,285
Oh my goodness. Where?

306
00:15:32,658 --> 00:15:36,433
It's a bit of a gamble,
but there is a process in place

307
00:15:36,835 --> 00:15:38,729
for emergency placement with
fictive

308
00:15:38,765 --> 00:15:43,107
kin, non relatives who have a
preexisting relationship with a

309
00:15:43,176 --> 00:15:43,737
child.

310
00:15:43,772 --> 00:15:45,207
But we. We don't.

311
00:15:45,242 --> 00:15:47,271
We're not even sure if we know
who his parents are.

312
00:15:47,340 --> 00:15:49,310
Yeah, that's what makes it a
gamble.

313
00:15:50,145 --> 00:15:52,077
Now it would only buy us a few
days.

314
00:15:52,112 --> 00:15:54,547
So if you're thinking longer.

315
00:15:55,082 --> 00:15:56,885
I mean, it's a rigorous process.

316
00:15:56,920 --> 00:15:59,023
Background checks,
home study.

317
00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:02,158
This being the holidays,
I'm not even sure I can make
them.

318
00:16:02,194 --> 00:16:04,395
That won't be necessary. No,
we're just looking to be a

319
00:16:04,431 --> 00:16:05,722
temporary placement.

320
00:16:07,328 --> 00:16:12,168
Mm. Are you equipped to bring a
baby home?

321
00:16:14,137 --> 00:16:17,604
I think so. We have many nieces
and nephews.

322
00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:18,939
We've got a baby gate.

323
00:16:18,974 --> 00:16:20,775
Basement. Practicing plates.

324
00:16:20,810 --> 00:16:22,441
Lullabies. She can tap.

325
00:16:22,477 --> 00:16:26,083
So we've got this,
Mrs. Mitchell. Call me Betty.

326
00:16:29,586 --> 00:16:31,816
Okay. Okay.

327
00:16:32,085 --> 00:16:33,619
Let's. Let's try it.

328
00:16:33,655 --> 00:16:34,124
Uh.

329
00:16:34,991 --> 00:16:37,087
All right. Now,
you girls have.

330
00:16:37,123 --> 00:16:38,756
Some homework here.

331
00:16:38,791 --> 00:16:42,493
Okay. And I have to send out
about a dozen emails before

332
00:16:42,561 --> 00:16:45,301
sunrise. If we're going to go to
court today,

333
00:16:45,337 --> 00:16:47,931
and we have to find time for you
to go home before you see the

334
00:16:47,966 --> 00:16:48,468
judge.

335
00:16:49,601 --> 00:16:52,235
Why is that? Well,
you might be slightly

336
00:16:52,270 --> 00:16:54,210
overdressed for court.

337
00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:57,240
Okay, I'll see you.

338
00:16:57,275 --> 00:16:59,149
Oh my gosh. We agree.

339
00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:01,547
I think we look great.

340
00:17:02,587 --> 00:17:03,615
We do look great.

341
00:17:06,192 --> 00:17:08,622
And that nice judge said we
could spend Christmas right here

342
00:17:08,657 --> 00:17:09,560
with us.

343
00:17:09,596 --> 00:17:11,162
Isn't that the best news?

344
00:17:11,197 --> 00:17:13,263
Jennifer, we can't thank you
enough for bringing all this.

345
00:17:13,299 --> 00:17:15,426
Oh, I'm just glad that I still
had stuff to offer. Joe and I

346
00:17:15,461 --> 00:17:17,365
donated most of it a few years
ago.

347
00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:18,102
Oh.

348
00:17:19,164 --> 00:17:20,368
How cute. Oh.

349
00:17:21,701 --> 00:17:23,307
Thank you. I found your
Christmas presents in the hall

350
00:17:23,342 --> 00:17:23,635
closet.

351
00:17:25,344 --> 00:17:26,672
Wait, what are you doing with
that? That is for our family.

352
00:17:26,740 --> 00:17:29,107
Oh, I'm wrapping your gifts
because I'm a good friend and

353
00:17:29,143 --> 00:17:30,543
your house is a disaster.

354
00:17:32,185 --> 00:17:33,078
You too own the store. You've
got access to the security

355
00:17:33,147 --> 00:17:34,580
footage. What did you see?

356
00:17:34,649 --> 00:17:36,515
Well, only the front door
camera caught her puffy jacket

357
00:17:36,550 --> 00:17:38,720
and a stocking cap,
just like everyone else in

358
00:17:38,755 --> 00:17:39,823
upstate New York.

359
00:17:39,859 --> 00:17:41,826
Have you guys, um,
told your moms?

360
00:17:41,861 --> 00:17:44,254
No, no, there will be no telling
of moms.

361
00:17:44,289 --> 00:17:45,622
No. Understood. What?

362
00:17:45,657 --> 00:17:47,594
But Erin's mom lives,
like, a mile away.

363
00:17:47,629 --> 00:17:49,632
What happens when you run into a
grocery store and you've got

364
00:17:49,701 --> 00:17:50,765
this unexplained baby?

365
00:17:50,834 --> 00:17:51,898
She's right. We should.

366
00:17:51,934 --> 00:17:53,301
Doordash. Doordash!

367
00:17:53,370 --> 00:17:55,070
Speaking of family,
does the social worker have any

368
00:17:55,105 --> 00:17:56,871
leads on who this baby came
from?

369
00:17:56,907 --> 00:17:59,137
Not yet. Could be anyone.

370
00:17:59,173 --> 00:18:01,706
It could be, but it isn't.

371
00:18:02,475 --> 00:18:04,180
I bet it's someone who knows
you.

372
00:18:04,216 --> 00:18:06,414
Has any pregnant customers
come into your store?

373
00:18:06,450 --> 00:18:09,313
I mean, sure, but no one who
seemed to be sizing up my

374
00:18:09,348 --> 00:18:11,155
potential parenting skills.

375
00:18:14,561 --> 00:18:15,720
Andrew, take notes.

376
00:18:17,295 --> 00:18:18,660
You've got better handwriting.
Come on, come on. Okay.

377
00:18:19,129 --> 00:18:20,762
This is good. This is good.
Okay.

378
00:18:20,997 --> 00:18:23,297
Um, somebody from the theater.

379
00:18:23,332 --> 00:18:25,398
Someone from the museum. Or a
neighbor.

380
00:18:25,434 --> 00:18:28,198
I think of places you frequent,
like ice rink,

381
00:18:28,267 --> 00:18:29,740
restaurants, the gym.

382
00:18:29,808 --> 00:18:31,072
I wouldn't say frequent the gym.

383
00:18:31,108 --> 00:18:32,401
Maybe one of your delivery
drivers.

384
00:18:32,470 --> 00:18:34,245
My dentist just had a baby.

385
00:18:34,914 --> 00:18:37,043
You think Nicky's mom is your
dentist?

386
00:18:37,679 --> 00:18:40,547
No, no, I'm just saying that
maybe it's a weird connection.

387
00:18:40,582 --> 00:18:43,121
Someone you wouldn't necessarily
run into all the time.

388
00:18:44,054 --> 00:18:45,519
Stop writing Jennifer's
dentist.

389
00:18:45,554 --> 00:18:47,653
I thought we were exploring all
of our options. No.

390
00:18:49,393 --> 00:18:51,388
Who's afraid of Virginia Woolf?
I don't know who?

391
00:18:51,957 --> 00:18:56,164
No, it's it's the play I did
scenic design for last April.

392
00:18:56,199 --> 00:18:58,829
Did you guys remember the
costumer?

393
00:18:59,398 --> 00:19:01,233
Um. Ali. Ali with the nails.

394
00:19:01,268 --> 00:19:04,303
With the nails. She was intense.

395
00:19:04,572 --> 00:19:06,903
Sold mail order skincare
products on the side.

396
00:19:06,938 --> 00:19:09,042
She was always trying to get me
to buy that eye cream.

397
00:19:09,111 --> 00:19:10,207
Yeah, and she was pregnant.

398
00:19:10,242 --> 00:19:11,879
She was pregnant!

399
00:19:11,947 --> 00:19:12,849
She was pregnant?

400
00:19:12,884 --> 00:19:14,516
I mean, the timeline lines up.

401
00:19:15,285 --> 00:19:16,814
I could see her doing something
like this.

402
00:19:21,620 --> 00:19:23,728
I've looked through all social
media.

403
00:19:23,763 --> 00:19:25,192
So the web search is a bust.

404
00:19:25,228 --> 00:19:27,793
The name Ali Rogers is too
common.

405
00:19:27,828 --> 00:19:30,733
Uh, why don't you try to look
her up using that skincare

406
00:19:30,802 --> 00:19:31,796
company she worked for?

407
00:19:32,264 --> 00:19:33,502
Mm. Brilliant.

408
00:19:34,238 --> 00:19:36,604
Oh, but before you dive too deep
into that,

409
00:19:36,940 --> 00:19:37,901
I thought of something.

410
00:19:39,244 --> 00:19:40,805
I've got this cousin who lives
in Schenectady.

411
00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:43,713
Mom said this cousin was
expecting and that there was

412
00:19:43,748 --> 00:19:45,283
some family drama.

413
00:19:45,685 --> 00:19:46,712
I'll call her and ask.

414
00:19:47,787 --> 00:19:49,551
What are you gonna ask her?

415
00:19:49,587 --> 00:19:52,017
Hey. Any chance there's a cousin
in Schenectady who needs us to

416
00:19:52,086 --> 00:19:52,850
raise her kid?

417
00:19:53,659 --> 00:19:54,588
I can be subtle.

418
00:19:55,728 --> 00:19:56,727
Angie's coming over.

419
00:19:56,763 --> 00:19:58,091
No she won't. Don't worry.

420
00:19:58,160 --> 00:19:59,461
Mom won't suspect a thing.

421
00:20:01,563 --> 00:20:05,932
Hi, mom. Seriously,
you called Kelly's mother?

422
00:20:05,968 --> 00:20:07,205
Of course I did.

423
00:20:08,505 --> 00:20:10,039
I can't believe I had to
hear about this from Angie.

424
00:20:10,075 --> 00:20:11,468
And I can't believe she told
you.

425
00:20:11,503 --> 00:20:13,040
Joyce and I have an agreement.

426
00:20:13,075 --> 00:20:14,139
One of us hears news.

427
00:20:14,174 --> 00:20:15,304
We tell the other.

428
00:20:15,340 --> 00:20:16,440
No exceptions.

429
00:20:16,475 --> 00:20:18,379
Well. That's terrifying. No.

430
00:20:18,415 --> 00:20:21,978
That's family. You girls needed
a mom rescue.

431
00:20:24,218 --> 00:20:25,685
Let's go see that baby.

432
00:20:25,953 --> 00:20:26,455
Oh.

433
00:20:28,353 --> 00:20:29,188
And subtle, huh?

434
00:20:29,223 --> 00:20:30,756
I really thought I was.

435
00:20:31,691 --> 00:20:34,496
Girls! You haven't decorated
your tree.

436
00:20:36,031 --> 00:20:36,861
Here we go. Yeah.

437
00:20:38,603 --> 00:20:44,534
Oh, he is so handsome.
Not like the other babies in our
family.

438
00:20:44,837 --> 00:20:48,012
Same! Babies in our family are
never this cute.

439
00:20:48,047 --> 00:20:51,110
Mom! Honey, you're all
adorable later.

440
00:20:51,446 --> 00:20:53,309
After you grow into those
ears.

441
00:20:53,345 --> 00:20:54,516
Right, Nicky?

442
00:20:55,582 --> 00:20:57,085
Maybe we don't give him a
nickname.

443
00:20:57,120 --> 00:20:59,889
Why? He is clearly a Nicky.

444
00:21:00,225 --> 00:21:02,122
Yeah, but I just want us to be
aware of,

445
00:21:02,157 --> 00:21:03,789
you know. Attachments.

446
00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:07,156
Point taken. Thank you.

447
00:21:07,191 --> 00:21:12,100
I will do my best to maintain a
casual relationship with the

448
00:21:12,135 --> 00:21:14,164
cutest little baby in the world.

449
00:21:14,533 --> 00:21:15,972
Great. Aren't you? Are you?

450
00:21:16,007 --> 00:21:17,640
Are you gonna call me Joyce?

451
00:21:17,676 --> 00:21:18,507
I'm Joyce.

452
00:21:19,540 --> 00:21:22,379
What's this? Your list of
suspects?

453
00:21:22,846 --> 00:21:23,674
So to speak.

454
00:21:23,709 --> 00:21:26,284
Jennifer's dentist,
Virginia Woolf.

455
00:21:27,182 --> 00:21:28,378
This is a strange list.

456
00:21:28,681 --> 00:21:30,351
How are you girls doing on
diapers?

457
00:21:30,420 --> 00:21:32,083
Oh, no. We're fine. Social
worker gave us,

458
00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:33,049
like, 24.

459
00:21:36,425 --> 00:21:38,528
We are definitely going
shopping.

460
00:21:39,197 --> 00:21:41,164
When is the last time you two
ate?

461
00:21:41,199 --> 00:21:44,094
I don't know, maybe 2 or 3 years
ago.

462
00:21:44,563 --> 00:21:46,436
Okay, we'll get some food too.

463
00:21:46,871 --> 00:21:48,104
I'm starving.

464
00:21:48,173 --> 00:21:50,405
Not you, Erin. Finish that
crib.

465
00:21:50,708 --> 00:21:53,876
One of the advantages to the two
parent family is the ability to

466
00:21:53,912 --> 00:21:55,143
divide and conquer.

467
00:21:55,178 --> 00:21:56,576
No, no, we are not parents.

468
00:21:56,611 --> 00:21:59,183
Oh, sweetheart,
you are feeling all the joy,

469
00:21:59,218 --> 00:22:01,884
all the stress and spending all
your money,

470
00:22:01,953 --> 00:22:03,151
even if it's temporary.

471
00:22:03,186 --> 00:22:05,048
You are definitely parents.

472
00:22:06,353 --> 00:22:07,523
I'll get you take out.

473
00:22:08,155 --> 00:22:08,821
Thank you.

474
00:22:13,426 --> 00:22:14,996
Hi, Kelly. Welcome back.

475
00:22:15,031 --> 00:22:16,666
Thank you. Thanks.

476
00:22:16,701 --> 00:22:17,060
Come on.

477
00:22:18,937 --> 00:22:20,097
That elf knows you.

478
00:22:20,599 --> 00:22:22,839
Yeah. We come in here a lot.

479
00:22:23,241 --> 00:22:24,773
Should I ask her if she
recently...

480
00:22:25,109 --> 00:22:26,235
No, please do not do that.

481
00:22:26,271 --> 00:22:26,806
Mhm.

482
00:22:27,639 --> 00:22:30,372
Oh, look. Pancakes with Santa.

483
00:22:30,975 --> 00:22:34,043
Oh how cute. You guys should
bring Nicky.

484
00:22:34,079 --> 00:22:36,649
Yeah, well, listen,
it's not until next week and

485
00:22:36,685 --> 00:22:38,686
he's going to be with another
family by then.

486
00:22:40,822 --> 00:22:46,692
Of course. Taking you five kids
to go visit Santa every

487
00:22:46,727 --> 00:22:48,627
year. That was always an event,
wasn't it?

488
00:22:48,662 --> 00:22:50,063
I don't know how you and dad did
it,

489
00:22:50,132 --> 00:22:51,396
I really don't.

490
00:22:51,465 --> 00:22:53,269
Five kids, it was Christmas.

491
00:22:53,672 --> 00:22:56,736
We just stretched ourselves in a
thousand directions to make that

492
00:22:56,772 --> 00:23:00,378
magic happen. But I tell you,
seeing your faces,

493
00:23:01,474 --> 00:23:02,773
that was all worth it.

494
00:23:02,808 --> 00:23:06,978
Sweetheart, you know, I. I have
to ask.

495
00:23:08,348 --> 00:23:09,585
Go ahead and ask.

496
00:23:11,150 --> 00:23:15,756
Have you and Erin considered
honoring the mother's request?

497
00:23:16,189 --> 00:23:16,790
Mom.

498
00:23:17,790 --> 00:23:20,090
Our life is not set up for a
baby.

499
00:23:20,125 --> 00:23:23,363
Our life is very intentionally
not set up for a baby.

500
00:23:23,732 --> 00:23:25,863
I mean, there's so many
unanswered questions.

501
00:23:25,898 --> 00:23:27,700
We don't even know who we're
doing this for.

502
00:23:27,736 --> 00:23:29,770
Of course you know who you're
doing it for.

503
00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:36,680
Am I supposed to take care of
this tree all by myself?

504
00:23:37,183 --> 00:23:40,716
Sorry, I can't stop staring at
him.

505
00:23:41,052 --> 00:23:42,948
Aren't these beautiful?

506
00:23:44,719 --> 00:23:47,085
Oh, yeah. Kelly's grandmother
made these.

507
00:23:47,121 --> 00:23:49,825
The eldest kid gets all the best
stuff because they set up the

508
00:23:49,894 --> 00:23:50,659
house first.

509
00:23:51,294 --> 00:23:53,057
I gave you the cookie press.

510
00:23:53,525 --> 00:23:54,732
And I treasure it.

511
00:23:54,801 --> 00:23:55,958
I would hope so.

512
00:23:55,993 --> 00:23:57,931
That came from a Pampered Chef
party.

513
00:23:57,966 --> 00:23:59,866
You can't just replace those
things. You have to wait for

514
00:23:59,901 --> 00:24:02,165
another party. And I don't have
those kind of contacts.

515
00:24:03,205 --> 00:24:03,969
Wait wait wait.

516
00:24:06,176 --> 00:24:07,445
He's just dreaming.

517
00:24:10,315 --> 00:24:11,546
What do you think he's dreaming
about?

518
00:24:11,581 --> 00:24:13,517
Same thing any of us dream
about, I guess.

519
00:24:14,018 --> 00:24:15,586
Feeling comforted.

520
00:24:15,621 --> 00:24:19,853
Feeling loved. What's blessing
is that he's found that here

521
00:24:21,257 --> 00:24:22,526
for the time being.

522
00:24:23,291 --> 00:24:25,526
Mhm. Yeah, right.

523
00:24:25,595 --> 00:24:27,459
Cause you and Kelly have always
been clea

524
00:24:27,494 --> 00:24:28,664
about what you wanted.

525
00:24:30,164 --> 00:24:33,965
Right. But, but that was before
there was an actual baby in the

526
00:24:34,001 --> 00:24:37,006
house. You don't know how you're
gonna feel until.

527
00:24:37,041 --> 00:24:38,567
Until it happens.

528
00:24:38,836 --> 00:24:41,003
I know you were a surprise.

529
00:24:41,239 --> 00:24:43,908
A wonderful surprise,
but a surprise nonetheless.

530
00:24:43,944 --> 00:24:46,750
We never thought we'd be raising
four children.

531
00:24:47,452 --> 00:24:50,147
But then there you were. And it
was perfect.

532
00:24:51,488 --> 00:24:54,154
Well, for couples like Kelly and
I.

533
00:24:54,823 --> 00:24:57,325
A wonderful surprise doesn't
happen that often.

534
00:24:57,360 --> 00:24:58,826
Yes, I suppose that's true.

535
00:25:02,932 --> 00:25:06,763
Nicky's mom thought that we
could set up a loving home for

536
00:25:06,798 --> 00:25:10,134
him. And I just keep thinking.

537
00:25:10,603 --> 00:25:11,773
What if she was right?

538
00:25:15,211 --> 00:25:16,173
It's getting late.

539
00:25:17,679 --> 00:25:19,242
You seem to have this under
control.

540
00:25:19,752 --> 00:25:20,045
Yeah.

541
00:25:28,558 --> 00:25:31,492
Are you ready for your milk?
Yeah.

542
00:25:31,861 --> 00:25:36,066
Here you go. What made you
excavate the cookie press?

543
00:25:36,101 --> 00:25:37,333
I forgot we owned one.

544
00:25:37,636 --> 00:25:40,065
Well, today I learned it was
basically my dowry.

545
00:25:40,766 --> 00:25:43,406
Um, so I talked to Sheryl.

546
00:25:43,642 --> 00:25:45,836
She said she can cover morning
shifts at the store.

547
00:25:45,872 --> 00:25:47,972
So even in a worst case
scenario,

548
00:25:48,008 --> 00:25:50,407
you will have mornings and
evenings to work.

549
00:25:50,776 --> 00:25:51,942
One week before Christmas.

550
00:25:51,977 --> 00:25:54,248
You are not going to be finished
by six.

551
00:25:54,317 --> 00:25:55,883
Well, I will staff up.

552
00:25:55,918 --> 00:25:58,249
People always want extra shifts
during the holidays.

553
00:25:58,318 --> 00:25:59,455
Right.

554
00:25:59,490 --> 00:26:00,617
I mean, it's only a couple of
days.

555
00:26:00,653 --> 00:26:01,992
Yeah. I can manage.

556
00:26:02,028 --> 00:26:02,726
Of course you will.

557
00:26:02,762 --> 00:26:03,523
Oh.

558
00:26:03,558 --> 00:26:05,026
You're here. Take this one.

559
00:26:05,061 --> 00:26:05,455
Let me.

560
00:26:05,491 --> 00:26:06,190
Help you.

561
00:26:06,799 --> 00:26:07,227
Thanks.

562
00:26:07,263 --> 00:26:08,560
Oh. What's this?

563
00:26:08,862 --> 00:26:12,963
Uh, that is Hudson The Holiday
Halibut.

564
00:26:13,232 --> 00:26:15,306
He's the newest addition at the
museum gift shop.

565
00:26:15,341 --> 00:26:17,870
I thought Nicholas might like
it.

566
00:26:17,905 --> 00:26:20,905
Oh, yeah. I mean,
this kid has a taste.

567
00:26:20,973 --> 00:26:23,779
And Hudson is a very charming
fish.

568
00:26:24,179 --> 00:26:24,846
Yes.

569
00:26:26,046 --> 00:26:27,184
You know, girls,
I can help you organize these

570
00:26:27,219 --> 00:26:28,718
cupboard so that it makes sense.

571
00:26:28,986 --> 00:26:29,246
Uh.

572
00:26:30,885 --> 00:26:34,552
Joyce, we had eyes on both of
you all day.

573
00:26:34,988 --> 00:26:36,958
When did you have time to make a
casserole?

574
00:26:37,026 --> 00:26:39,155
Oh, I brought that from home
this morning. I always have a

575
00:26:39,191 --> 00:26:41,731
few extra in the freezer in case
of an emergency.

576
00:26:42,065 --> 00:26:42,600
Wow.

577
00:26:44,730 --> 00:26:45,735
I think you've done.

578
00:26:47,433 --> 00:26:47,968
Oh.

579
00:26:54,146 --> 00:26:55,272
This is a good baby.

580
00:26:56,346 --> 00:26:57,410
He's pretty perfect.

581
00:26:57,445 --> 00:27:00,411
Yeah. Okay. Okay.

582
00:27:00,447 --> 00:27:01,414
Nicholas.

583
00:27:01,450 --> 00:27:03,679
Nicholas boy. Okay.

584
00:27:03,715 --> 00:27:08,956
Okay. Alright! Okay. You've had
your bottle.
Your diaper is clean.

585
00:27:10,225 --> 00:27:13,194
Does it help to know that all
your needs have been met? No.

586
00:27:13,263 --> 00:27:15,226
Okay. Okay. Ah.

587
00:27:17,265 --> 00:27:17,866
Hello?

588
00:27:18,937 --> 00:27:19,395
Hello?

589
00:27:20,338 --> 00:27:22,002
I'll be right back. Okay.

590
00:27:30,743 --> 00:27:32,277
Hi there, Mr. Seltzer.

591
00:27:32,313 --> 00:27:33,217
Hi.

592
00:27:33,252 --> 00:27:34,245
Why is there a baby crying?

593
00:27:35,748 --> 00:27:36,846
I don't know. Okay.

594
00:27:36,882 --> 00:27:39,223
Because he's a baby. So...

595
00:27:39,258 --> 00:27:42,253
Why is there a baby at all?

596
00:27:42,888 --> 00:27:44,055
It's a friend of the family.

597
00:27:44,090 --> 00:27:46,057
Listen, my mom had to leave,
but Erin's mom,

598
00:27:46,092 --> 00:27:47,696
she's going to be here later
this afternoon.

599
00:27:47,732 --> 00:27:49,627
So not interested in the
distribution of labor.

600
00:27:49,696 --> 00:27:51,099
How long is it staying?

601
00:27:51,401 --> 00:27:53,000
A couple. Days. Tops.

602
00:27:54,100 --> 00:27:56,572
And then back to the
construction noise. Yes.

603
00:27:56,607 --> 00:27:59,006
You gals don't have any quiet
hobbies,

604
00:27:59,307 --> 00:27:59,941
do you?

605
00:28:01,643 --> 00:28:03,142
Well, it's been fun. Okay.

606
00:28:03,645 --> 00:28:06,079
You have a nice afternoon.

607
00:28:13,556 --> 00:28:17,191
Kelly. Kelly? What's wrong?

608
00:28:17,527 --> 00:28:19,026
Why did you wake the baby?

609
00:28:19,828 --> 00:28:21,994
Uh, well, that wasn't my
intention.

610
00:28:22,029 --> 00:28:23,999
Could you do something I don't
know? Uh.

611
00:28:24,068 --> 00:28:24,729
Quiet.

612
00:28:24,798 --> 00:28:26,664
No. Erin. No, no,
I can't.

613
00:28:26,733 --> 00:28:29,170
Okay. I'm so far behind.

614
00:28:29,739 --> 00:28:31,236
Baby, we are not set up for
this.

615
00:28:31,304 --> 00:28:34,942
I got it, okay? Look,
uh, mom and I will take Nicky to

616
00:28:35,011 --> 00:28:37,281
the store tomorrow,
and he can spend the day there.

617
00:28:37,316 --> 00:28:38,546
He doesn't nap in the house.

618
00:28:38,581 --> 00:28:39,747
But you think he's gonna nap?

619
00:28:39,783 --> 00:28:41,546
Better at a Pack And Ship at
Christmas.

620
00:28:41,582 --> 00:28:42,918
Erin. Come on.

621
00:28:43,982 --> 00:28:45,789
I don't know what else to offer.

622
00:28:46,355 --> 00:28:51,487
Uh. Okay.

623
00:28:54,033 --> 00:28:55,227
Look, um.

624
00:28:57,232 --> 00:29:00,434
Betty has been looking for
Nicholas family for five days.

625
00:29:00,470 --> 00:29:01,598
Okay? We have zero.

626
00:29:01,633 --> 00:29:02,267
Leads.

627
00:29:03,743 --> 00:29:08,405
Nicholas deserves a stable,
consistent solution.

628
00:29:10,580 --> 00:29:13,047
Nicholas. He's a great kid.

629
00:29:13,082 --> 00:29:17,814
And we are an amazing,
amazing choice for a temporary

630
00:29:17,849 --> 00:29:19,583
placement. Right?

631
00:29:19,652 --> 00:29:20,483
Temporary.

632
00:29:21,489 --> 00:29:22,992
We have got.

633
00:29:23,027 --> 00:29:27,358
To think about what's best for
Nicholas and us long term.

634
00:29:28,660 --> 00:29:29,294
Okay.

635
00:29:35,535 --> 00:29:36,701
So, um.

636
00:29:36,736 --> 00:29:37,867
He likes the fish.

637
00:29:37,903 --> 00:29:39,370
Oh, I'll tell them.

638
00:29:40,546 --> 00:29:42,346
Really, there's no cause for
worry.

639
00:29:42,381 --> 00:29:43,676
This is a wonderful family.

640
00:29:43,745 --> 00:29:45,145
I work with them for years.

641
00:29:47,116 --> 00:29:50,447
Well, it's a bit of a drive,
so we better get going.

642
00:29:51,023 --> 00:29:51,382
Okay.

643
00:29:52,687 --> 00:29:54,017
Merry Christmas,
Betty.

644
00:29:54,052 --> 00:29:55,925
Oh, merry Christmas,
girls.

645
00:29:58,863 --> 00:30:00,930
The world could use more people
like you two.

646
00:30:09,701 --> 00:30:10,871
Erin.

647
00:30:10,907 --> 00:30:13,338
Erin, wait. Look,
I know this is hard,

648
00:30:13,407 --> 00:30:16,946
okay? But this is the most
practical decision for his sake.

649
00:30:18,250 --> 00:30:19,212
I love you, Kelly.

650
00:30:20,678 --> 00:30:22,545
But what's practical is not
really comforting right now.

651
00:30:46,342 --> 00:30:46,943
Cute.

652
00:30:48,611 --> 00:30:49,642
Last night was rough.

653
00:30:50,111 --> 00:30:51,981
I thought reindeer pancakes
might help.

654
00:30:53,215 --> 00:30:57,987
Good call. There is real solace
in adorable food.

655
00:30:59,420 --> 00:31:02,084
Hey, do you want to just skip
Jennifer and Joe's stocking

656
00:31:02,119 --> 00:31:03,388
stuffer party tonight?

657
00:31:04,022 --> 00:31:06,429
Ah, I forgot about that.

658
00:31:06,464 --> 00:31:07,831
Um, no, we should go.

659
00:31:07,867 --> 00:31:10,496
It's for charity,
and I already got everything on

660
00:31:10,532 --> 00:31:11,132
the list.

661
00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:12,496
Okay. We'll go.

662
00:31:15,468 --> 00:31:18,634
Yeah, we should bring all that
stuff your mom bought.

663
00:31:19,774 --> 00:31:21,109
Teething rings. Toys.

664
00:31:21,909 --> 00:31:24,010
No, we don't have to do that.

665
00:31:24,012 --> 00:31:25,410
There's no reason to keep it
here.

666
00:31:28,082 --> 00:31:29,882
Don't equate this with regret,
No, we don'tbut I,to do that.

667
00:31:30,451 --> 00:31:35,290
I miss him. I'm just not really
sure how to feel about that

668
00:31:35,359 --> 00:31:36,124
feeling yet.

669
00:31:41,927 --> 00:31:46,762
Hey. And I feel

670
00:31:47,932 --> 00:31:52,075
a little less alone knowing you
don't know how to feel about
that

671
00:31:52,144 --> 00:31:52,536
feeling?

672
00:31:58,209 --> 00:32:01,512
I love you. I love you,
too.

673
00:32:03,848 --> 00:32:06,121
We're gonna have a great time
tonight. Oh, yeah. Jennifer and

674
00:32:06,157 --> 00:32:08,325
Joe. They really know how to
overdo a Christmas party.

675
00:32:08,961 --> 00:32:12,322
Do you remember that ice
sculpture of that angel that

676
00:32:12,357 --> 00:32:15,064
looked exactly like that Diana
Ross?

677
00:32:15,531 --> 00:32:16,329
Yeah. Yeah.

678
00:32:18,066 --> 00:32:21,065
Um, you're at the theater today,
right?

679
00:32:21,100 --> 00:32:23,565
I am, we're loading in the set.

680
00:32:23,634 --> 00:32:27,344
Ooh. Does that mean that I get
our house back?

681
00:32:27,379 --> 00:32:28,510
Oh. You do. Yeah.

682
00:32:28,546 --> 00:32:29,509
Until the next show.

683
00:32:29,778 --> 00:32:32,443
Yes. Hey, you know what?

684
00:32:32,512 --> 00:32:35,183
We're doing a craft for the set
with the kids today.

685
00:32:35,850 --> 00:32:36,954
Do you want to swing by?

686
00:32:39,389 --> 00:32:39,682
Sure.

687
00:32:45,924 --> 00:32:48,528
Good job.

688
00:32:48,930 --> 00:32:51,531
Okay. Straight to the sink.

689
00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:52,464
Let's go.

690
00:32:53,537 --> 00:32:55,170
What? Yeah. Okay.

691
00:32:57,407 --> 00:32:58,041
Okay.

692
00:32:58,938 --> 00:33:00,409
Okay. Ready? One.

693
00:33:00,444 --> 00:33:01,176
Two. Three.

694
00:33:11,615 --> 00:33:14,985
Oh, wow. Wow. That's not what I
was saying.

695
00:33:15,053 --> 00:33:17,758
I hope it is. Oh.

696
00:33:18,194 --> 00:33:20,556
Oh, thank goodness the childless
people are here.

697
00:33:20,591 --> 00:33:22,131
You know,
not every story about a kid is a

698
00:33:22,199 --> 00:33:24,428
winner. Sometimes your moppet
mispronounces a word,

699
00:33:24,463 --> 00:33:26,399
and it never needs to become an
anecdote.

700
00:33:27,870 --> 00:33:30,268
Mm. Do I smell apple cider.

701
00:33:30,303 --> 00:33:32,073
Oh, yeah. There's a line. Follow
me.

702
00:33:32,108 --> 00:33:34,277
Oh, um, I think I'm gonna do the
stockings.

703
00:33:34,346 --> 00:33:36,013
Okay. Okay.

704
00:33:43,213 --> 00:33:45,622
Erin, you made it.

705
00:33:45,657 --> 00:33:47,554
Hi. Yeah, we wouldn't miss it.

706
00:33:47,589 --> 00:33:48,550
Hi. Hi.

707
00:33:48,585 --> 00:33:50,218
Thanks so much for coming. Of
course.

708
00:33:50,254 --> 00:33:51,292
How you holding up?

709
00:33:51,957 --> 00:33:53,756
I'm fine.

710
00:33:54,533 --> 00:33:56,700
Oh, so we brought a lot

711
00:33:56,769 --> 00:33:59,128
of, uh, goodies for the
stockings.

712
00:33:59,197 --> 00:34:00,470
Perfect. Can we help?

713
00:34:00,506 --> 00:34:02,501
Sure. Uh, toddlers.

714
00:34:03,034 --> 00:34:04,470
Um, tweens.

715
00:34:04,505 --> 00:34:09,079
And, uh. Yeah. Just a few things
for under six months.

716
00:34:09,415 --> 00:34:10,575
This is great.

717
00:34:11,108 --> 00:34:12,544
Uh, Erin.

718
00:34:12,579 --> 00:34:15,017
I'm sorry I couldn't be there to
see Kelly get her award.

719
00:34:15,086 --> 00:34:17,614
And then Jennifer came
home with that story.

720
00:34:17,650 --> 00:34:19,518
Oh, Joe, maybe she doesn't want
to talk about it.

721
00:34:19,951 --> 00:34:21,587
Sorry.

722
00:34:21,656 --> 00:34:23,987
I can't even imagine just taking
your kids to some random store.

723
00:34:24,023 --> 00:34:24,988
And just going.

724
00:34:25,023 --> 00:34:25,722
Here you go.

725
00:34:26,664 --> 00:34:28,197
Well, it wasn't random.

726
00:34:28,862 --> 00:34:29,594
Sorry. What?

727
00:34:30,801 --> 00:34:33,829
It wasn't random, Joe. The baby.

728
00:34:34,705 --> 00:34:35,803
His name is Nicholas.

729
00:34:36,105 --> 00:34:39,307
He was, um, healthy,
well cared for.

730
00:34:40,107 --> 00:34:44,014
Someone loved him. Loves him.

731
00:34:44,083 --> 00:34:47,481
They were overwhelmed,
and they made a desperate

732
00:34:47,550 --> 00:34:53,022
choice. When this person tried
to think of a safe and loving

733
00:34:53,057 --> 00:34:56,285
home for their child,
they, they pictured.

734
00:34:56,321 --> 00:34:58,627
Kelly and I, and and it's,

735
00:34:58,662 --> 00:35:02,099
uh. It's humbling.

736
00:35:03,568 --> 00:35:04,563
I'm sure it was.

737
00:35:05,066 --> 00:35:06,837
Um. And lucky he had you.

738
00:35:06,872 --> 00:35:09,300
I'm. I'm sorry. That was
insensitive.

739
00:35:09,369 --> 00:35:11,504
No, no, I don't need to
apologize.

740
00:35:11,572 --> 00:35:14,474
I'm just gonna get some fresh
air. I think I'm sorry.

741
00:35:15,347 --> 00:35:15,607
Yeah.

742
00:35:27,285 --> 00:35:29,524
May I join you? Yeah.

743
00:35:29,560 --> 00:35:30,226
Of course.

744
00:35:31,363 --> 00:35:31,722
Yeah.

745
00:35:36,566 --> 00:35:37,233
Just.

746
00:35:39,231 --> 00:35:41,666
Need a minute? Yeah.

747
00:35:44,439 --> 00:35:48,237
Years from now,
this will just be a funny story

748
00:35:48,273 --> 00:35:49,608
you tell at parties.

749
00:35:50,540 --> 00:35:53,881
That baby we found it Christmas.

750
00:35:53,917 --> 00:35:57,253
I wonder what he's up to.

751
00:35:59,389 --> 00:36:02,423
You're always going to be a part
of Nicholas's life.

752
00:36:04,158 --> 00:36:05,520
Betty is gonna keep us updated.

753
00:36:05,555 --> 00:36:07,758
I mean, he can help in any way.

754
00:36:09,998 --> 00:36:10,695
What does that mean?

755
00:36:11,403 --> 00:36:11,828
Help.

756
00:36:12,971 --> 00:36:15,634
I mean, buying him savings
bonds.

757
00:36:16,136 --> 00:36:17,606
Oh, yeah. We could.

758
00:36:17,875 --> 00:36:19,374
Those are very practical.

759
00:36:21,213 --> 00:36:24,212
Why do you keep coming back to
that...Practicality?

760
00:36:24,247 --> 00:36:28,449
Like, it's the highest possible
goal. I...

761
00:36:30,580 --> 00:36:34,257
I don't get it. You love kids.

762
00:36:36,694 --> 00:36:37,659
I do, yeah, I.

763
00:36:37,695 --> 00:36:38,892
Do, I love kids.

764
00:36:38,928 --> 00:36:40,957
Um, but growing up.

765
00:36:41,660 --> 00:36:44,097
I mean, it was just an endless
to do list

766
00:36:44,165 --> 00:36:45,936
of homework and potty training.

767
00:36:45,971 --> 00:36:49,168
I had absolutely no personal
space.

768
00:36:49,404 --> 00:36:51,775
Well, I'm not suggesting we have
five kids.

769
00:36:51,810 --> 00:36:52,968
I'm talking about this kid.

770
00:36:56,212 --> 00:36:57,974
Is that what we're talking
about?

771
00:36:58,343 --> 00:36:59,975
Adopting, Nicholas?

772
00:37:02,647 --> 00:37:08,758
Maybe. Erin.
Erin, Erin, Erin...

773
00:37:08,794 --> 00:37:10,890
we have talked about this.

774
00:37:10,926 --> 00:37:12,222
So many times.

775
00:37:12,291 --> 00:37:13,890
I am aware of that.

776
00:37:14,326 --> 00:37:15,593
Before we got married.

777
00:37:15,628 --> 00:37:18,766
You told me you didn't want to
have kids.

778
00:37:19,102 --> 00:37:22,767
I did, I tell you that,
but...

779
00:37:24,969 --> 00:37:29,906
Nicholas is. He just woke
something up inside of me.

780
00:37:31,244 --> 00:37:32,777
With Nicky. My life was

781
00:37:35,016 --> 00:37:37,914
bigger. Fuller.

782
00:37:41,825 --> 00:37:43,352
That is our life,

783
00:37:43,721 --> 00:37:45,790
but that is just the two of
us.

784
00:37:47,865 --> 00:37:49,024
Is that enough for you?

785
00:37:50,097 --> 00:37:52,965
Yeah. Of course.

786
00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:54,799
I love you.

787
00:37:56,272 --> 00:38:00,640
I am. I just need some time with
this.

788
00:38:01,806 --> 00:38:05,381
I never thought we'd be in this
position,

789
00:38:05,416 --> 00:38:09,946
so I'm a little underprepared
and figuring out how to

790
00:38:12,057 --> 00:38:14,015
let it go.
Well, I am right here.

791
00:38:14,051 --> 00:38:16,788
I'm right here with you.
Right here beside you.

792
00:38:17,456 --> 00:38:21,093
I know you are. Thank you.

793
00:38:21,762 --> 00:38:27,166
Oh. Hey, do you think that maybe
you could be beside me,

794
00:38:27,201 --> 00:38:29,031
like, inside the house?

795
00:38:30,168 --> 00:38:30,901
Yes.

796
00:38:31,877 --> 00:38:33,569
Yes, please. I'm freezing.

797
00:38:33,604 --> 00:38:35,744
And the buffet looked amazing.

798
00:38:35,780 --> 00:38:37,941
It really did.

799
00:38:40,819 --> 00:38:42,319
I love you. I love you.

800
00:38:57,899 --> 00:38:58,599
Hello.

801
00:38:59,333 --> 00:39:00,431
Hey, girl. It's Ali Rogers.

802
00:39:00,466 --> 00:39:01,965
I got your message on Insta.

803
00:39:02,905 --> 00:39:04,502
Uh, Ali. Hi.

804
00:39:04,938 --> 00:39:07,873
Um, I wondered how long it would
be until I heard from you.

805
00:39:07,908 --> 00:39:10,378
I knew once you figured out that
I was no longer working as a

806
00:39:10,414 --> 00:39:12,574
costumer, you would only be a
matter of time.

807
00:39:12,609 --> 00:39:14,110
You are a smart cookie.

808
00:39:14,145 --> 00:39:17,681
Oh, Ali, I can't even imagine
what you've gone through.

809
00:39:17,749 --> 00:39:19,620
You're so sweet. But I really
think,

810
00:39:19,689 --> 00:39:22,086
though, that it is the best
decision I could have made.

811
00:39:22,121 --> 00:39:23,624
Yeah.

812
00:39:23,692 --> 00:39:26,155
Oh, wow. Well, listen,
I'm glad you feel secure in that

813
00:39:26,190 --> 00:39:29,299
and Erin and I. We only want
the best for you. But really.

814
00:39:29,368 --> 00:39:31,830
You need to sort of decide what
comes next. So...

815
00:39:32,399 --> 00:39:34,100
Well, that's not really true.

816
00:39:34,869 --> 00:39:38,375
I can't move forward until I
know what I can count on from

817
00:39:38,410 --> 00:39:41,073
you. Really? Ellie,
there's no one else I would even

818
00:39:41,109 --> 00:39:42,477
think of asking.

819
00:39:42,513 --> 00:39:44,642
I mean, you're fun,
but levelheaded. People feel

820
00:39:44,677 --> 00:39:46,443
reassured when they're around
you.

821
00:39:46,479 --> 00:39:48,913
Okay. I guess I hope that.

822
00:39:49,247 --> 00:39:49,914
Yes.

823
00:39:50,281 --> 00:39:50,915
Really?

824
00:39:53,156 --> 00:39:55,184
Yes. Yes. You know what,
Ali?

825
00:39:55,853 --> 00:39:57,486
You're right, you're right. Erin
and I,

826
00:39:57,555 --> 00:39:59,792
we we want to do this.

827
00:40:00,093 --> 00:40:00,529
Oh.

828
00:40:01,729 --> 00:40:04,000
Okay. I knew you were the right
person to ask.

829
00:40:04,035 --> 00:40:05,530
I had a gut feeling about it.

830
00:40:05,866 --> 00:40:09,102
This is going to be amazing for
you and your wife.

831
00:40:09,138 --> 00:40:11,233
For me, for my son.

832
00:40:11,302 --> 00:40:12,572
Yeah.

833
00:40:12,608 --> 00:40:14,672
Yeah. You know what? I just have
sort of like,

834
00:40:14,707 --> 00:40:18,012
uh, like a few,
uh, lingering, lingering

835
00:40:18,081 --> 00:40:19,843
concerns. You know.

836
00:40:19,879 --> 00:40:22,278
I am happy to answer any
questions you've got,

837
00:40:22,313 --> 00:40:23,046
right?

838
00:40:24,455 --> 00:40:26,183
I mean, listen,
some of my fears are sensible.

839
00:40:26,652 --> 00:40:28,455
And then, you know,
there are

840
00:40:28,490 --> 00:40:30,791
these huge unanswered questions,
like,

841
00:40:30,826 --> 00:40:32,954
like, how am I supposed to
reconcile the fact that that the

842
00:40:32,989 --> 00:40:35,828
person I know I was created to
be like,

843
00:40:35,896 --> 00:40:40,800
I know down to my toes,
I was created to be in my heart

844
00:40:40,835 --> 00:40:45,366
and who I love. How am I
supposed to reconcile that that

845
00:40:45,402 --> 00:40:48,871
person still lives in a world
where complete strangers just

846
00:40:48,906 --> 00:40:52,043
look at me and think that I'm
wrong?

847
00:40:53,113 --> 00:40:56,414
But how am I supposed to raise a
child to live in a world that

848
00:40:56,449 --> 00:40:58,114
even I don't understand?

849
00:41:03,423 --> 00:41:04,857
Ali. Whose baby is that?

850
00:41:05,592 --> 00:41:07,761
Oh, this is my son,
D'Angelo.

851
00:41:08,097 --> 00:41:10,995
You're...What?

852
00:41:11,835 --> 00:41:12,397
Yeah.

853
00:41:12,432 --> 00:41:14,133
Oh, he is the sweetest.

854
00:41:14,168 --> 00:41:15,065
Yes you are.

855
00:41:16,106 --> 00:41:17,133
You're raising your son.

856
00:41:17,709 --> 00:41:18,101
Yeah.

857
00:41:19,244 --> 00:41:21,940
And you want me to sell skin
care?

858
00:41:22,509 --> 00:41:23,744
That would be so great for you.

859
00:41:29,713 --> 00:41:31,086
You guys look great.

860
00:41:31,121 --> 00:41:32,185
Okay. We're at places.

861
00:41:32,221 --> 00:41:33,317
Go find your spots.

862
00:41:33,353 --> 00:41:34,216
Okay. Have fun.

863
00:41:44,835 --> 00:41:45,128
Hey.

864
00:41:46,669 --> 00:41:48,505
Do you, uh. Did you forget
something, Santa?

865
00:41:49,270 --> 00:41:50,837
I don't like it.

866
00:41:52,205 --> 00:41:53,037
You, um.

867
00:41:54,705 --> 00:41:55,743
You don't like what?

868
00:41:57,147 --> 00:41:58,845
There's too many people.

869
00:41:59,378 --> 00:42:01,248
Uh oh. Okay.

870
00:42:01,284 --> 00:42:03,216
Well, hey, you know what?

871
00:42:03,484 --> 00:42:04,647
All of those people out there.

872
00:42:04,682 --> 00:42:06,281
They are. They are so

873
00:42:07,157 --> 00:42:09,020
excited to see Santa.

874
00:42:09,288 --> 00:42:09,856
Right.

875
00:42:10,523 --> 00:42:12,529
I'm not really Santa.

876
00:42:13,358 --> 00:42:14,528
No.

877
00:42:14,563 --> 00:42:17,425
Um, I know, but tonight in the
play,

878
00:42:17,461 --> 00:42:21,767
you. You get to imagine what
it might be like to be Santa.

879
00:42:21,835 --> 00:42:25,674
So come on you just
get on out there,okay?

880
00:42:26,439 --> 00:42:27,742
I don't want to.

881
00:42:29,407 --> 00:42:29,876
Uh.

882
00:42:31,415 --> 00:42:33,116
Hey there, Mister gingerbread
man.

883
00:42:33,151 --> 00:42:35,115
Are you ready to see Santa?

884
00:42:35,151 --> 00:42:36,615
No way, Snowman.

885
00:42:36,684 --> 00:42:39,215
I heard Santa loves milk and
cookies.

886
00:42:41,623 --> 00:42:44,055
I think I hear him now up on the
rooftop.

887
00:42:48,193 --> 00:42:51,659
You know what? Why don't we
practice your line?

888
00:42:51,695 --> 00:42:54,664
Right. Ho Ho Ho

889
00:42:54,699 --> 00:42:56,573
Surprise party for me?

890
00:42:58,101 --> 00:43:00,910
No?
I know what to say, Miss Kelly.

891
00:43:01,379 --> 00:43:03,712
I just don't want to say it by
myself.

892
00:43:04,882 --> 00:43:05,582
Um.

893
00:43:11,948 --> 00:43:15,724
Hey everyone. Here comes Santa.

894
00:43:20,863 --> 00:43:26,735
Here's Santa, with me.
His favorite tallest elf.

895
00:43:27,268 --> 00:43:30,706
Surprise!!

896
00:43:34,643 --> 00:43:37,878
Ho ho ho! A surprise party for
me?

897
00:43:43,754 --> 00:43:48,255
But merry Christmas to all and
to all a good night.

898
00:43:48,991 --> 00:43:53,025
Wait. We can't end the party
without my favorite dance.

899
00:43:53,592 --> 00:43:55,126
You got it. Santa.

900
00:43:56,099 --> 00:44:00,164
Let's dance!

901
00:44:05,101 --> 00:44:06,368
Something amazing is
happening.

902
00:44:15,684 --> 00:44:17,786
You've got to teach me that
dance.

903
00:44:19,785 --> 00:44:22,558
Baby. I. I have some moves.

904
00:44:22,594 --> 00:44:24,588
Moves that you have never,
ever seen before.

905
00:44:24,624 --> 00:44:29,325
Oh, okay. Congrats.

906
00:44:30,035 --> 00:44:31,063
Thank you. Yeah.

907
00:44:34,599 --> 00:44:38,037
Um. Okay.

908
00:44:38,769 --> 00:44:40,270
Hey. What's wrong?

909
00:44:43,713 --> 00:44:47,510
What if it was fate that brought
Nikki to us?

910
00:44:48,179 --> 00:44:50,181
What if this whole thing was
meant to be?

911
00:44:53,625 --> 00:44:57,858
And what if. What if we brought
Nicholas home,

912
00:44:57,894 --> 00:45:02,397
and then one day,
his mother or his his father,

913
00:45:02,432 --> 00:45:03,892
or some actual fictive kin.

914
00:45:03,928 --> 00:45:05,933
Just shows up at our door.

915
00:45:09,768 --> 00:45:14,805
Okay. Um. Uh, okay.

916
00:45:14,840 --> 00:45:17,043
Uh, so. So that's the problem.

917
00:45:20,811 --> 00:45:21,850
Meaning what?

918
00:45:23,217 --> 00:45:24,947
Um. I thought Nicholas was
keeping you from your work.

919
00:45:25,249 --> 00:45:27,953
Uh, or was it the invasion of
our moms,

920
00:45:27,988 --> 00:45:30,660
or it was all the
money we were spending?

921
00:45:30,695 --> 00:45:33,663
I get it, I do. I,
I completely understand what

922
00:45:33,732 --> 00:45:37,965
you're saying, but,
Erin, my concerns are valid.

923
00:45:38,734 --> 00:45:40,265
Yeah. I'm not saying they're
not.

924
00:45:40,300 --> 00:45:43,401
I guess I'm I'm just wondering
why there is always another

925
00:45:43,436 --> 00:45:44,973
excuse.

926
00:45:45,041 --> 00:45:46,634
I guess. Because ever since
Nicholas came into our lives,

927
00:45:46,669 --> 00:45:50,039
it is like every synapse in my
brain that is hardwired for

928
00:45:50,075 --> 00:45:52,474
worry is just running on
overdrive.

929
00:45:56,847 --> 00:46:01,758
Okay. Got it. Um.

930
00:46:02,956 --> 00:46:04,893
I'm glad you won't have to worry
anymore.

931
00:46:05,923 --> 00:46:08,424
Oh, Erin, don't do that.

932
00:46:10,764 --> 00:46:11,994
I'm going to stop by the shop.

933
00:46:12,029 --> 00:46:15,134
I'm gonna be late. Love you.

934
00:47:11,162 --> 00:47:11,828
Yeah, yeah.

935
00:47:16,830 --> 00:47:18,197
Please. No complaints tonight.

936
00:47:18,799 --> 00:47:20,936
The garage light was on,
so.

937
00:47:23,839 --> 00:47:25,506
I haven't heard a peep over here
all day.

938
00:47:25,542 --> 00:47:27,239
Why isn't the baby crying?

939
00:47:30,678 --> 00:47:32,607
What? What's happened?

940
00:47:36,617 --> 00:47:37,953
He's not here.

941
00:47:41,854 --> 00:47:43,453
I'm gonna go get Daisy.

942
00:47:44,428 --> 00:47:45,428
Let's go for a walk.

943
00:47:45,463 --> 00:47:46,796
We'll go and see the lights.

944
00:47:46,865 --> 00:47:49,129
I think the cold night air might
do you some good.

945
00:47:49,830 --> 00:47:51,098
Are you being nice to me?

946
00:47:52,767 --> 00:47:54,233
Let's not make a habit of it.

947
00:47:55,700 --> 00:47:56,368
Okay.

948
00:47:56,703 --> 00:47:57,467
Go get your coat.

949
00:48:06,678 --> 00:48:10,179
You know, I wasn't planning to
get a dog when Daisy came along.

950
00:48:10,648 --> 00:48:13,219
Mr. Seltzer, please do not
compare the baby to your dog.

951
00:48:15,422 --> 00:48:17,586
Humane society said they were
having a hard time finding a

952
00:48:17,621 --> 00:48:22,162
place for her. Turned out I was
just what she needed.

953
00:48:23,028 --> 00:48:24,560
And she was just what I needed.

954
00:48:27,772 --> 00:48:30,303
Okay, I see what's what's
happening here.

955
00:48:30,372 --> 00:48:33,371
You're one of those curmudgeon
that secretly does nice things.

956
00:48:34,038 --> 00:48:35,175
Shows what you know.

957
00:48:35,777 --> 00:48:37,443
All these books that I brought.

958
00:48:37,445 --> 00:48:38,178
Terrible.

959
00:48:39,516 --> 00:48:40,642
All I'm on to you, Seltzer.ght.

960
00:48:43,319 --> 00:48:43,645
Oh.

961
00:48:44,915 --> 00:48:46,384
Oh. Come on.

962
00:48:48,993 --> 00:48:51,861
Look, Kelly, only you and Erin
know what you want here.

963
00:48:51,896 --> 00:48:54,664
But I can tell you,
I had 43 years of my life.

964
00:48:54,699 --> 00:48:57,329
And if it had only ever been
just us,

965
00:48:58,030 --> 00:48:59,463
we may have been very happy.

966
00:48:59,764 --> 00:49:00,332
But.

967
00:49:00,798 --> 00:49:01,333
Ah.

968
00:49:01,900 --> 00:49:03,033
It's always a But.

969
00:49:03,268 --> 00:49:07,236
Our love was adorable enough to
share.

970
00:49:07,272 --> 00:49:09,772
So we decided to grow our
family,

971
00:49:10,608 --> 00:49:13,213
and raising our daughter was the
best thing we ever did.

972
00:49:18,822 --> 00:49:21,089
You seem like a really great
dad.

973
00:49:28,128 --> 00:49:32,232
No, I'm not a really great dad,
Kelly.

974
00:49:35,265 --> 00:49:38,370
We just don't communicate.

975
00:49:39,843 --> 00:49:41,637
My wife was always our
translator.

976
00:49:42,447 --> 00:49:43,738
But you don't talk?

977
00:49:46,047 --> 00:49:47,643
It falls away easier than you
think.

978
00:49:49,252 --> 00:49:52,615
A few weeks turns into a few
months and then just stops.

979
00:49:53,216 --> 00:49:54,650
And it's all so foolish.

980
00:49:56,392 --> 00:50:01,193
She's still the same miracle to
me that she was on the day she

981
00:50:01,228 --> 00:50:06,297
was born. I wish that she were
in my life,

982
00:50:06,333 --> 00:50:09,401
but I'm just so glad that she's
in the world.

983
00:50:13,211 --> 00:50:18,143
You know, today I thought that I
was being asked officially if

984
00:50:18,178 --> 00:50:20,544
Erin and I wanted to adopt
Nicholas.

985
00:50:22,482 --> 00:50:26,550
Despite all that fear.
My gut instinct was to say

986
00:50:29,687 --> 00:50:31,786
just how much am I supposed to
trust my gut here?

987
00:50:32,964 --> 00:50:35,790
Don't live your life in fear of
being afraid.

988
00:50:40,000 --> 00:50:41,433
You give very good advice.

989
00:50:43,641 --> 00:50:45,701
When I'm well rested. Yeah.

990
00:50:55,617 --> 00:50:58,481
I am so glad you guys are still
open. You do gift wrapping
right?

991
00:50:58,517 --> 00:51:01,057
I made earrings for all
of my sorority sisters.

992
00:51:01,688 --> 00:51:02,322
Sheryl.

993
00:51:03,189 --> 00:51:04,588
Uh, could you join me,
please?

994
00:51:13,068 --> 00:51:14,730
I went for a walk with Mr.
Seltzer.

995
00:51:17,001 --> 00:51:18,140
Unexpected.

996
00:51:20,941 --> 00:51:22,804
Can we talk? Please.

997
00:51:24,713 --> 00:51:25,675
Go. I got it.

998
00:51:36,527 --> 00:51:37,357
Kelly, what's up?

999
00:51:38,190 --> 00:51:39,590
I want Nicky to come home.

1000
00:51:47,366 --> 00:51:53,502
I I I I get that. I understand
you

1001
00:51:53,537 --> 00:51:55,641
not wanting to get attached to
Nicky,

1002
00:51:56,010 --> 00:51:59,115
but why not just tell me that?

1003
00:52:01,886 --> 00:52:03,450
Because I didn't want to share
you,

1004
00:52:04,019 --> 00:52:07,217
Erin. I didn't. I know,
I know,

1005
00:52:07,252 --> 00:52:09,525
that sounds really childish.

1006
00:52:09,560 --> 00:52:11,127
Very selfish, but,

1007
00:52:13,460 --> 00:52:17,131
all my life, I had to compete
for everything.

1008
00:52:17,166 --> 00:52:22,270
My space, my stuff,
my parents attention.

1009
00:52:24,434 --> 00:52:25,970
And I love that in our marriage,

1010
00:52:26,039 --> 00:52:27,743
it is just you and me.

1011
00:52:27,778 --> 00:52:31,147
You know. I'm enough for you.

1012
00:52:31,648 --> 00:52:32,644
I mean, you are.

1013
00:52:33,313 --> 00:52:35,349
You are so more than enough for
me.

1014
00:52:37,152 --> 00:52:41,354
Maybe I meant it when I said
you,

1015
00:52:41,390 --> 00:52:45,557
what we have is beyond more
than enough for me.

1016
00:52:46,729 --> 00:52:47,788
But I miss him.

1017
00:52:47,857 --> 00:52:50,827
I do, I miss him like,
every second of the day.

1018
00:52:50,863 --> 00:52:53,034
I mean, I had to throw out all
of his stuff because it was just

1019
00:52:53,069 --> 00:52:54,603
way too hard to look at all of
it.

1020
00:52:55,306 --> 00:52:57,439
Don't worry, it's still in the
garage. I kept everything.

1021
00:52:57,474 --> 00:52:58,435
Okay.

1022
00:52:58,470 --> 00:53:01,474
but, um. I feel like he's our
family.

1023
00:53:01,509 --> 00:53:07,342
Yeah, yeah. The way I see it,
love isn't divisible.

1024
00:53:07,411 --> 00:53:10,346
It is infinitely shareable.

1025
00:53:10,648 --> 00:53:14,651
So, yes, our our our schedules,
our life.

1026
00:53:14,720 --> 00:53:17,787
Uh, it would all change a lot if
we became parents.

1027
00:53:18,222 --> 00:53:21,027
But you and me,

1028
00:53:21,062 --> 00:53:23,595
Our love it would only grow,

1029
00:53:24,830 --> 00:53:29,667
I believe you. Oh, you want to
try and get our boy back?

1030
00:53:30,036 --> 00:53:31,473
Yeah, I really do.

1031
00:53:31,542 --> 00:53:32,472
Yeah? Yeah.

1032
00:53:37,141 --> 00:53:39,546
Hey, you've reached Katie,
please
leave a message after the tone.

1033
00:53:39,882 --> 00:53:41,811
Hi, Katie, it's dad.

1034
00:53:43,117 --> 00:53:44,484
You're probably still at work.

1035
00:53:45,551 --> 00:53:47,523
I know it's been a while since
we talked.

1036
00:53:48,159 --> 00:53:51,887
Everything's fine. Well,
everything's not fine.

1037
00:53:53,164 --> 00:53:55,627
I miss you, and I. I wish that
we were closer.

1038
00:53:56,832 --> 00:53:59,565
So call anytime.

1039
00:54:02,199 --> 00:54:02,997
I love you.

1040
00:54:09,108 --> 00:54:09,905
I don't know.

1041
00:54:15,820 --> 00:54:16,978
There you go, little guy.

1042
00:54:19,190 --> 00:54:21,719
Special delivery. Just in time
for Christmas.

1043
00:54:22,287 --> 00:54:23,853
Right here. Thank you.

1044
00:54:24,755 --> 00:54:27,593
He's awake. And he does love
that fish.

1045
00:54:29,699 --> 00:54:30,794
Hi, baby.

1046
00:54:31,702 --> 00:54:32,664
Oh. He's home.

1047
00:54:35,172 --> 00:54:37,603
I hope the foster family was
understanding.

1048
00:54:37,839 --> 00:54:38,637
Actually.

1049
00:54:40,137 --> 00:54:42,176
I told them all along that he'd
probably only be there a couple

1050
00:54:42,211 --> 00:54:44,412
days before you girls came back
around.

1051
00:54:46,312 --> 00:54:47,712
Hey, I'm not always right.

1052
00:54:47,747 --> 00:54:50,550
But I'm right often enough to go
ahead and plan for it.

1053
00:54:51,515 --> 00:54:54,919
I like her.
Oh, hello.

1054
00:54:54,955 --> 00:54:55,885
Hi, Joyce.

1055
00:54:56,186 --> 00:54:56,820
Angie.

1056
00:54:57,660 --> 00:54:57,953
Betty.

1057
00:55:01,193 --> 00:55:02,761
Oh. All right.

1058
00:55:02,796 --> 00:55:05,263
I won't lie to you. This next
part is going to be tricky,

1059
00:55:05,833 --> 00:55:08,396
but I'm going to try and call in
some favors and get you a home

1060
00:55:08,465 --> 00:55:09,969
study before Christmas.

1061
00:55:10,004 --> 00:55:11,472
Oh, that is great.

1062
00:55:11,507 --> 00:55:14,140
Thank you. Betty. Um,
you've got to try and continue

1063
00:55:14,175 --> 00:55:15,505
your art projects,
honey.

1064
00:55:15,740 --> 00:55:18,309
I've been telling her that her
entire life.

1065
00:55:18,344 --> 00:55:19,574
Really? Not the time,
mom.

1066
00:55:19,609 --> 00:55:21,142
Girls, it's not just clean up.

1067
00:55:21,178 --> 00:55:24,078
There are different expectations
regarding what you have on hand

1068
00:55:24,113 --> 00:55:28,122
with a temporary placement
versus permanent. Meaning?

1069
00:55:28,191 --> 00:55:30,585
Meaning furniture,
baby proofing,

1070
00:55:30,620 --> 00:55:32,725
bath supplies, visual stimuli.

1071
00:55:32,794 --> 00:55:35,959
Okay, okay, so we just have to
pay for an entire nursery full

1072
00:55:35,994 --> 00:55:39,731
of furniture and baby proofed
the whole house in a week.

1073
00:55:40,938 --> 00:55:42,701
Ah, sooner would be better.

1074
00:55:43,702 --> 00:55:46,200
I'm sorry. I know it's a lot to
ask, but...

1075
00:55:46,469 --> 00:55:48,543
Um. Oh, Betty.

1076
00:55:48,945 --> 00:55:50,478
We can make a few calls.

1077
00:55:53,643 --> 00:55:55,514
We got a rally for your sister.

1078
00:55:55,550 --> 00:55:58,313
Every cupboard,
every drawer, every outlet and

1079
00:55:58,349 --> 00:55:59,851
every toilet.

1080
00:55:59,919 --> 00:56:01,754
Look, if you can find somewhere
out of the way to put these

1081
00:56:01,790 --> 00:56:04,824
things. Betty says we only have
a couple of days before the home

1082
00:56:04,859 --> 00:56:05,493
study.

1083
00:56:06,793 --> 00:56:08,424
Oh, okay, gentlemen,
take it to the nursery upstairs.

1084
00:56:08,693 --> 00:56:13,001
Oh, Travis, where did you say?
Nursery.

1085
00:56:13,069 --> 00:56:14,863
Oh, no, we don't have a nursery.

1086
00:56:14,932 --> 00:56:16,868
Yes you do. What you don't
have is an office.

1087
00:56:16,903 --> 00:56:19,474
We're moving your work to the
bedroom with exquisite care.

1088
00:56:20,607 --> 00:56:21,971
Close your mouth. You look like
a pelican.

1089
00:56:24,377 --> 00:56:26,109
Yeah, it looks good, right?

1090
00:56:26,411 --> 00:56:28,648
It's fine, it's fine.

1091
00:56:29,213 --> 00:56:30,914
Oh. Oh.

1092
00:56:35,155 --> 00:56:37,553
Hey baby. Hey.

1093
00:56:38,123 --> 00:56:40,495
Looks like you might be short
circuiting a little bit. Yeah, I

1094
00:56:40,530 --> 00:56:43,125
think that I am. Okay,
maybe we should take a break.

1095
00:56:43,494 --> 00:56:45,096
I think we should. Yeah.

1096
00:56:45,665 --> 00:56:48,766
Okay. Well, why don't we
go get Nicky.

1097
00:56:48,802 --> 00:56:52,508
At Mr. Seltzers and all of us
can go to Deville.

1098
00:56:52,543 --> 00:56:55,244
You know, that sounds like a
whole situation, so I don't,

1099
00:56:55,279 --> 00:56:59,210
uh. Alright, well,
if we're gonna try this,

1100
00:56:59,246 --> 00:57:00,880
let's really try it.

1101
00:57:01,349 --> 00:57:03,078
Incorporate him into our
routine.

1102
00:57:04,282 --> 00:57:05,851
Okay. Okay.

1103
00:57:05,920 --> 00:57:06,180
Easy.

1104
00:57:06,657 --> 00:57:07,082
Easy.

1105
00:57:07,790 --> 00:57:08,149
Yeah.

1106
00:57:11,126 --> 00:57:13,561
Okay. Yeah. Um. Whoa.

1107
00:57:14,095 --> 00:57:14,694
Sorry about that.

1108
00:57:15,798 --> 00:57:16,190
Okay.

1109
00:57:16,634 --> 00:57:16,960
Um.

1110
00:57:17,694 --> 00:57:19,666
All right. Uh, you got that.

1111
00:57:19,934 --> 00:57:20,568
Right.

1112
00:57:22,038 --> 00:57:25,969
Oh, I got this here.

1113
00:57:26,402 --> 00:57:26,706
Oh.

1114
00:57:28,473 --> 00:57:29,911
Okay. Hey. It's okay.

1115
00:57:30,179 --> 00:57:32,907
He's okay. Hey hey hey hey hey.

1116
00:57:32,976 --> 00:57:36,848
Sorry. Oh, wow. We're that
couple
now?

1117
00:57:38,418 --> 00:57:41,787
No, we're that family now.

1118
00:57:45,025 --> 00:57:45,461
Oh.

1119
00:57:46,327 --> 00:57:48,728
Come on. Let's get out of here.

1120
00:57:50,463 --> 00:57:53,128
Here we go. Yeah,
baby.

1121
00:57:53,935 --> 00:57:54,470
Oh!

1122
00:57:55,103 --> 00:57:56,802
Oh my goodness.

1123
00:57:57,839 --> 00:58:01,709
Yeah. Maybe things aren't
supposed to be the way they

1124
00:58:01,777 --> 00:58:06,878
always were. Because of him,
we'll see things differently.

1125
00:58:13,350 --> 00:58:13,885
Hmm.

1126
00:58:14,651 --> 00:58:16,085
Yeah. What do you say?

1127
00:58:26,597 --> 00:58:28,335
Mamas are gonna work.

1128
00:58:28,371 --> 00:58:30,869
Mr. Seltzer is gonna babysit
you.

1129
00:58:31,271 --> 00:58:33,905
Yeah. You go.

1130
00:58:36,010 --> 00:58:36,743
To bed.

1131
00:58:46,618 --> 00:58:48,051
Everything you need is in here.

1132
00:58:48,120 --> 00:58:50,557
Formulas, diapers. And if you
want to keep these in the

1133
00:58:50,593 --> 00:58:52,559
freezer because he's battling a
tooth coming in.

1134
00:58:52,595 --> 00:58:55,322
We used to let Katie just chew
on green onions.

1135
00:58:55,391 --> 00:58:57,762
Oh, okay. You know what? Maybe
just stick to the teething

1136
00:58:57,831 --> 00:59:00,099
rings. Yeah. Oh,
uh, babe, do you know where that

1137
00:59:00,135 --> 00:59:00,761
stuff is for?

1138
00:59:00,796 --> 00:59:01,864
Yeah. Sheryl don't know.

1139
00:59:01,932 --> 00:59:03,572
The rules for the application.
Oh, uh,

1140
00:59:04,108 --> 00:59:05,635
a coffee table. Oh. Okay.

1141
00:59:05,671 --> 00:59:07,804
Great. There you go.
Alright.

1142
00:59:08,206 --> 00:59:10,409
Alright, so I should be down
this meeting by 11, and then

1143
00:59:10,444 --> 00:59:12,110
I'll be able to pick them up.

1144
00:59:12,179 --> 00:59:14,676
Alright. No rush. Nicholas and
I enjoy the same Christmas
shows.

1145
00:59:14,712 --> 00:59:15,778
Okay. We gotta run. Yeah,

1146
00:59:15,814 --> 00:59:17,577
let's go. Do you need your
stuff?

1147
00:59:17,613 --> 00:59:18,415
Yes! Yeah.

1148
00:59:18,483 --> 00:59:20,351
Okay. Okay. Okay.

1149
00:59:20,386 --> 00:59:21,482
Have a great day.

1150
00:59:21,551 --> 00:59:22,618
Okay. Okay.

1151
00:59:22,653 --> 00:59:24,220
Okay. Thank you. Okay.

1152
00:59:24,256 --> 00:59:26,989
Call us if you need anything.
Okay. Thank you. Thanks again.

1153
00:59:27,025 --> 00:59:30,260
Okay. Okay. Come on.
Bye. Bye. Say bye. Bye.

1154
00:59:30,329 --> 00:59:30,962
Have fun.

1155
00:59:32,866 --> 00:59:36,534
I feel like we're finally
finding our routine,

1156
00:59:36,569 --> 00:59:41,204
our rhythm. And thanks to Mr.
Seltzer.
I mean, Kelly is actually able
to get

1157
00:59:41,239 --> 00:59:44,012
her work done. Oh. In fact,
she's presenting her concept art

1158
00:59:44,048 --> 00:59:45,273
at the museum today.

1159
00:59:45,308 --> 00:59:47,481
Oh that's wonderful.
I hope it goes smoothly for you.

1160
00:59:47,516 --> 00:59:49,381
I know it can be a really long
process.

1161
00:59:49,650 --> 00:59:52,416
Yeah, but, you know,
I feel good.

1162
00:59:52,418 --> 00:59:53,853
You know, confident.

1163
00:59:53,921 --> 00:59:56,019
I think we're ready for the home
visit tomorrow. Oh, uh,

1164
00:59:56,055 --> 00:59:58,422
speaking of which,
the stuff we need notarized is

1165
00:59:58,491 --> 01:00:00,255
in that folder. Yeah.

1166
01:00:01,857 --> 01:00:04,259
Oh, Erin, are you sure?

1167
01:00:11,602 --> 01:00:12,608
What on earth.

1168
01:00:16,344 --> 01:00:18,944
Do, do, do, doody do do.

1169
01:00:22,449 --> 01:00:23,685
Mommy's home early.

1170
01:00:29,519 --> 01:00:30,252
Hi, dad.

1171
01:00:32,225 --> 01:00:32,826
Hi.

1172
01:00:33,391 --> 01:00:34,025
Katie.

1173
01:00:36,062 --> 01:00:38,426
I got your voice mail,
and I was going to call you

1174
01:00:38,495 --> 01:00:41,637
back, but all I really wanted to
do was get in the car and tell

1175
01:00:41,672 --> 01:00:43,837
you that I love you,
and I miss you, and I just...

1176
01:00:44,969 --> 01:00:47,038
I'm sorry. Dad. Whose baby is
that?

1177
01:00:48,542 --> 01:00:50,008
Come on in. I'll catch you up.

1178
01:00:51,210 --> 01:00:53,715
I'm trying something new. I'm
being nice to the neighbors.

1179
01:00:54,214 --> 01:00:54,914
Really?

1180
01:00:56,151 --> 01:00:58,751
Ah....Hey.

1181
01:00:59,120 --> 01:01:02,658
Hey, babe. So I just presented
our tax returns and our criminal

1182
01:01:02,726 --> 01:01:06,558
background checks to the Office
of Cultural Education.

1183
01:01:06,627 --> 01:01:08,125
Babe, no no no no,
don't worry,

1184
01:01:08,160 --> 01:01:10,626
I explained everything. They
were so nice about it.

1185
01:01:10,662 --> 01:01:12,393
Babe.
What's up?

1186
01:01:13,601 --> 01:01:15,229
So, as you know,
I am at work.

1187
01:01:15,264 --> 01:01:18,668
And the water main burst in the
building,

1188
01:01:19,037 --> 01:01:20,873
which also somehow knocked out
the power.

1189
01:01:20,908 --> 01:01:23,172
So all the tenants,
we've all been evacuated.

1190
01:01:23,208 --> 01:01:27,616
So. And I have two full
truckloads of deliver by.

1191
01:01:27,685 --> 01:01:31,250
Christmas deliveries on their
way here by 4:00,

1192
01:01:31,286 --> 01:01:32,384
and obviously.

1193
01:01:32,453 --> 01:01:33,519
They can't come here.

1194
01:01:33,554 --> 01:01:35,652
Well, what are you gonna do?

1195
01:01:35,687 --> 01:01:37,086
So funny you should ask.

1196
01:01:37,121 --> 01:01:40,387
You and I, we are essentially
good, right?

1197
01:01:40,423 --> 01:01:43,631
I mean, I know we've been
through a lot lately,

1198
01:01:43,666 --> 01:01:46,260
but at the end of the day.
We are solid.

1199
01:01:46,563 --> 01:01:50,035
So if I had to make a decision
that I know would only add to

1200
01:01:50,070 --> 01:01:53,237
your stress. I mean,
you know that that I am going to

1201
01:01:53,306 --> 01:01:57,144
be there for you and you would
forgive me and we would still be

1202
01:01:57,179 --> 01:01:58,413
okay. Right?

1203
01:01:58,716 --> 01:01:59,976
You're not asking
if you could send the trucks to

1204
01:02:00,011 --> 01:02:02,017
our house, are you? I'm telling
you,

1205
01:02:02,086 --> 01:02:06,188
I already did.

1206
01:02:06,924 --> 01:02:10,257
Dad, if the recipient's name is
a business and a person's name,

1207
01:02:10,292 --> 01:02:11,056
where does it go?

1208
01:02:12,293 --> 01:02:13,695
Business.

1209
01:02:13,764 --> 01:02:14,727
You guys are good at this.
You should have seen us

1210
01:02:14,762 --> 01:02:16,325
on Girl Scout cookie
distribution.

1211
01:02:19,501 --> 01:02:21,503
Hi. I got an email alert.

1212
01:02:21,538 --> 01:02:23,405
To pick up my packages here.
Great.

1213
01:02:23,474 --> 01:02:24,867
What's the name?
Elizabeth Horne.

1214
01:02:24,903 --> 01:02:32,407
A package for Horne.
Horne?

1215
01:02:33,809 --> 01:02:34,912
Hi, there.

1216
01:02:34,947 --> 01:02:36,445
I'm not sure I'm in the right
place.

1217
01:02:36,481 --> 01:02:38,614
Yes, we've been getting a lot of
that today. But you found us.

1218
01:02:38,650 --> 01:02:39,448
What's the name?

1219
01:02:39,784 --> 01:02:41,014
Thayer. Jeffrey Thayer.

1220
01:02:41,050 --> 01:02:43,157
Okay. Package for Thayer.

1221
01:02:43,193 --> 01:02:43,825
Right this way.

1222
01:02:45,458 --> 01:02:47,461
I think there's been a
miscommunication. Are you Miss
Spinelli?

1223
01:02:47,496 --> 01:02:48,861
No. Miss Spinelli is over there.

1224
01:02:48,896 --> 01:02:51,231
She's plunking in cardboard. I'm
her wife.

1225
01:02:51,267 --> 01:02:52,130
Miss Townsend.

1226
01:02:53,064 --> 01:02:54,600
Yes.
I'm Jeffrey Thayer from the.

1227
01:02:54,635 --> 01:02:56,068
Department of Families, Children

1228
01:02:56,103 --> 01:02:58,400
and Youth. Guessing you didn't
get my voicemail about

1229
01:02:58,435 --> 01:03:06,243
rescheduling. I'm here to do
your home inspection.

1230
01:03:08,152 --> 01:03:09,444
This is so bad.

1231
01:03:09,513 --> 01:03:12,254
Our living room looks like an
Amazon fulfillment center.

1232
01:03:12,289 --> 01:03:13,552
It's okay. It's okay.

1233
01:03:13,621 --> 01:03:15,619
It's okay. Hi. Uh,
please.

1234
01:03:15,655 --> 01:03:16,754
Please take a seat.

1235
01:03:16,789 --> 01:03:19,053
I'm so sorry about the mess.

1236
01:03:19,088 --> 01:03:20,627
When my wife and I were dating.

1237
01:03:20,663 --> 01:03:22,425
She gave me a key to her
apartment.

1238
01:03:22,461 --> 01:03:25,059
I decided to surprise her one
night by sneaking in and making

1239
01:03:25,094 --> 01:03:26,527
dinner while she was at work.

1240
01:03:27,169 --> 01:03:27,803
I, um...

1241
01:03:28,701 --> 01:03:30,238
I started a grease fire.

1242
01:03:30,307 --> 01:03:32,165
Oh? Yeah. Fire trucks.

1243
01:03:32,201 --> 01:03:34,035
Uh, completely destroyed
kitchen.

1244
01:03:34,070 --> 01:03:36,009
All of her neighbors outside.

1245
01:03:36,844 --> 01:03:40,310
Ladies. Today was your grease
fire.

1246
01:03:41,317 --> 01:03:43,082
Yeah. Sure was.

1247
01:03:44,148 --> 01:03:46,652
Mr. Thayer, I'm so sorry for for
today.

1248
01:03:46,687 --> 01:03:48,251
The mess, and I just cannot...

1249
01:03:48,487 --> 01:03:51,022
Circumstances notwithstanding,
it's clear you've done a great

1250
01:03:51,057 --> 01:03:53,026
deal to prepare your home for
Nicholas.

1251
01:03:54,056 --> 01:03:55,896
I mean, we have,
um.

1252
01:03:55,932 --> 01:03:58,126
We'd like to think we're
preparing for the future.

1253
01:03:58,595 --> 01:04:01,133
I won't keep you long. I know
you have pressing business

1254
01:04:01,168 --> 01:04:03,271
downstairs, and I've read
through everything you've

1255
01:04:03,340 --> 01:04:04,534
submitted online so far.

1256
01:04:04,603 --> 01:04:05,571
Oh, great.

1257
01:04:05,606 --> 01:04:06,835
You've been married for.

1258
01:04:06,903 --> 01:04:07,935
for 5 years, but,

1259
01:04:07,971 --> 01:04:09,240
but together for 8.

1260
01:04:10,540 --> 01:04:12,078
Had the two of you ever
considered raising a child?

1261
01:04:13,650 --> 01:04:18,480
Um, honestly, not until we met
Nicky.

1262
01:04:23,060 --> 01:04:25,690
Miss Townsend, I don't have a
personal statement from you yet.

1263
01:04:25,725 --> 01:04:27,461
Yeah, I know, I'm I'm.

1264
01:04:27,496 --> 01:04:28,589
I'm still working on it.

1265
01:04:30,298 --> 01:04:32,829
Well, why don't you tell me a
little bit about why you want to

1266
01:04:32,864 --> 01:04:34,133
be a parent to Nicholas?

1267
01:04:35,233 --> 01:04:38,401
Oh, Ah, that's a big question.
Isn't it?

1268
01:04:39,508 --> 01:04:40,876
A rather essential one.

1269
01:04:43,473 --> 01:04:46,973
You know, I've,
I've been studying a lot about

1270
01:04:47,009 --> 01:04:48,682
underwater life.

1271
01:04:48,751 --> 01:04:51,585
For for work. Um,
and there's this

1272
01:04:51,620 --> 01:04:54,682
fish. It's called a
cichlid.

1273
01:04:54,717 --> 01:04:59,561
It digs its burrow by moving one
grain of sand after another.

1274
01:04:59,630 --> 01:05:03,064
Just one. One. It's takes
forever.

1275
01:05:03,934 --> 01:05:07,034
Um. And they hide their young
inside that burrow.

1276
01:05:07,902 --> 01:05:10,169
And then if the burrow is
destroyed,

1277
01:05:10,238 --> 01:05:12,939
which can happen if a single
grain of sand moves out of

1278
01:05:12,975 --> 01:05:16,906
place, they move their young to
another burrow,

1279
01:05:17,576 --> 01:05:20,579
and those little baby fish are
taken on and cared for by that

1280
01:05:20,615 --> 01:05:22,445
set of mates. Yeah.

1281
01:05:22,514 --> 01:05:25,647
They just they just pick up and
make it happen and make a

1282
01:05:25,682 --> 01:05:29,551
family. Just like everybody was
always supposed to be there.

1283
01:05:31,261 --> 01:05:32,026
Fascinating.

1284
01:05:33,459 --> 01:05:35,891
And, you know, that's kind of
how Nicholas came into our

1285
01:05:35,927 --> 01:05:38,360
lives, right? Yeah.

1286
01:05:38,695 --> 01:05:42,029
Um, somebody couldn't give him
the care that he needed for.

1287
01:05:42,065 --> 01:05:43,334
For whatever reason.

1288
01:05:43,868 --> 01:05:48,141
Um. But we could.

1289
01:05:50,142 --> 01:05:51,947
Actually, I didn't know that I
could.

1290
01:05:53,049 --> 01:05:56,347
I didn't think that I could love
anyone this much.

1291
01:05:57,682 --> 01:06:02,054
I mean, the things that I would
do for that little boy. Nobody

1292
01:06:02,123 --> 01:06:04,356
warned me about this feeling,
Mister Thayer.

1293
01:06:04,425 --> 01:06:07,194
I honestly, I don't I don't know
if I would have believed them if

1294
01:06:07,229 --> 01:06:13,597
they had. And I know that
Nicholas doesn't belong to us.

1295
01:06:13,866 --> 01:06:15,162
Not. Not yet, at least.

1296
01:06:15,198 --> 01:06:19,733
But. But I belong to him.

1297
01:06:21,537 --> 01:06:24,739
It is simultaneously the most
terrifying.

1298
01:06:25,776 --> 01:06:28,610
And one of the greatest things
that has ever happened to me.

1299
01:06:32,820 --> 01:06:34,583
Thank you, Miss Townsend.

1300
01:06:36,860 --> 01:06:45,330
I'm going to need you to write
that down.

1301
01:06:46,131 --> 01:06:49,230
Okay. What's our gift
budget?

1302
01:06:49,265 --> 01:06:52,271
Oh. Our gift budget is gone.

1303
01:06:52,972 --> 01:06:55,902
Gone? Diapers. Baby wipes.

1304
01:06:55,937 --> 01:06:59,446
Formula. That nasal aspirator
that really freaked me out.

1305
01:06:59,515 --> 01:07:02,149
Erin. Should we?

1306
01:07:03,246 --> 01:07:05,150
Oh, we definitely should.

1307
01:07:05,185 --> 01:07:07,854
We don't have a photo of the
three of us yet.

1308
01:07:07,890 --> 01:07:09,286
Alright, well,
who have we here?

1309
01:07:09,321 --> 01:07:13,328
Oh, this is Nicky and Erin,
and I'm Kelly.

1310
01:07:13,597 --> 01:07:15,189
Um, we're his foster moms.

1311
01:07:15,458 --> 01:07:17,731
Oh. Foster families are such a
gift.

1312
01:07:17,766 --> 01:07:19,293
Come on, come on,
come on.

1313
01:07:19,328 --> 01:07:20,895
Are you ready? It's affordable.

1314
01:07:20,930 --> 01:07:21,630
Oh, hi.

1315
01:07:23,472 --> 01:07:24,832
Oh, yeah.

1316
01:07:24,901 --> 01:07:25,900
Yes.

1317
01:07:25,935 --> 01:07:26,602
Baby.

1318
01:07:26,938 --> 01:07:27,606
Merry Christmas.

1319
01:07:27,675 --> 01:07:28,308
Merry Christmas.

1320
01:07:28,377 --> 01:07:28,571
Oh!

1321
01:07:32,008 --> 01:07:32,707
Ho ho ho.

1322
01:07:34,249 --> 01:07:36,812
Ho ho ho ho. And what would you
two like for Christmas?

1323
01:07:36,848 --> 01:07:37,448
Oh, well.

1324
01:07:38,748 --> 01:07:40,655
We already got everything we
could have asked for.

1325
01:07:40,690 --> 01:07:42,422
It's not the life we expected.

1326
01:07:42,925 --> 01:07:44,521
But it's what you needed it to
be.

1327
01:07:47,893 --> 01:07:48,989
He liked that.

1328
01:07:49,058 --> 01:07:50,131
I think so.

1329
01:07:52,500 --> 01:07:52,727
Mm.

1330
01:07:54,032 --> 01:07:57,336
Oh. Oh. It's Betty.

1331
01:07:59,036 --> 01:08:02,037
Hey, Betty. Yeah.

1332
01:08:02,106 --> 01:08:03,945
Now, is is a great time.

1333
01:08:03,980 --> 01:08:06,609
We actually just took Nicky to
meet Santa.

1334
01:08:08,116 --> 01:08:11,879
Um. Okay. Betty,
can you hold on one second?

1335
01:08:12,482 --> 01:08:17,818
Thanks. Um, Nicky's mother
called.

1336
01:08:25,262 --> 01:08:26,662
Remind me again what Betty said.

1337
01:08:26,697 --> 01:08:31,432
A woman named Stephanie
Callaghan called the hotline and

1338
01:08:31,501 --> 01:08:33,472
she is apparently Nicholas's
mother.

1339
01:08:33,941 --> 01:08:35,071
She mentioned both of us.

1340
01:08:35,106 --> 01:08:36,507
by name. That is good.

1341
01:08:36,575 --> 01:08:39,010
Yes. Okay. She was then
redirected to Betty's voicemail

1342
01:08:39,078 --> 01:08:41,342
because Betty is the caseworker.

1343
01:08:41,377 --> 01:08:43,080
And then Betty called her back.

1344
01:08:43,115 --> 01:08:45,551
And now we are just waiting.

1345
01:08:45,887 --> 01:08:47,518
Just waiting, waiting for

1346
01:08:49,218 --> 01:08:52,457
the call back. Alright. Are you
doing
that for you or for the baby?

1347
01:08:53,597 --> 01:08:54,529
I think both of us.

1348
01:08:54,564 --> 01:08:55,724
Okay. Yeah. Just.

1349
01:08:57,701 --> 01:08:59,631
Okay. It's gonna get sick.

1350
01:08:59,667 --> 01:09:00,228
Erin, she.

1351
01:09:00,263 --> 01:09:01,061
Can't do this. We don't.

1352
01:09:01,097 --> 01:09:02,666
Even know.

1353
01:09:02,735 --> 01:09:04,199
This person. And now she's just
gonna show up weeks later and

1354
01:09:04,235 --> 01:09:05,805
and call dibs on the kid.

1355
01:09:05,840 --> 01:09:07,538
She is not calling dibs.

1356
01:09:07,606 --> 01:09:10,073
She's his mother. Then she
should have acted like it.

1357
01:09:10,109 --> 01:09:11,606
Hey, you don't mean that.

1358
01:09:11,941 --> 01:09:16,347
No, I don't. I feel like we have
been incredibly patient this

1359
01:09:16,382 --> 01:09:18,987
entire time, throughout this
entire process,

1360
01:09:19,022 --> 01:09:21,382
and. And I feel like I am
entitled to get

1361
01:09:21,417 --> 01:09:23,086
properly mad at least once.

1362
01:09:23,122 --> 01:09:25,424
Yes you are. Yes,
yes.

1363
01:09:25,959 --> 01:09:29,560
Here. Feel better now?

1364
01:09:32,867 --> 01:09:34,334
Yeah. A little. Okay.

1365
01:09:34,369 --> 01:09:38,668
Yeah. Look, Betty is not gonna
send Nicholas back to an

1366
01:09:38,703 --> 01:09:40,967
unhealthy situation,
but you acknowledge that Betty

1367
01:09:41,036 --> 01:09:44,273
could send him back. Yes,
yes, we have always acknowledged

1368
01:09:44,308 --> 01:09:48,377
that. It's not what we want.

1369
01:09:48,646 --> 01:09:53,183
No it isn't. Look,
you're not gonna make any

1370
01:09:53,218 --> 01:09:55,089
decisions tonight and tomorrow.

1371
01:09:55,125 --> 01:09:57,586
It might be the last day that we
have with him.

1372
01:09:57,621 --> 01:10:00,460
So our whole family is going to
be together.

1373
01:10:00,496 --> 01:10:05,664
And I think we should just make
it as wonderful as possible for

1374
01:10:05,699 --> 01:10:06,432
our son.

1375
01:10:11,100 --> 01:10:11,734
Okay.

1376
01:10:21,545 --> 01:10:25,385
Hi. Yeah. Did you have a nice
bath?

1377
01:10:26,221 --> 01:10:30,852
Today is going to be
a great day. Yes.

1378
01:10:32,561 --> 01:10:32,953
Yes.

1379
01:10:36,095 --> 01:10:39,158
Are you ready? Ready?

1380
01:10:39,194 --> 01:10:39,630
Hey!

1381
01:10:51,911 --> 01:10:53,347
Hey! Hey.

1382
01:10:53,714 --> 01:10:54,249
Hey.

1383
01:10:55,183 --> 01:11:01,121
Um. You should probably get one
of

1384
01:11:01,156 --> 01:11:02,884
your sisters to hold Nicki for a
minute.

1385
01:11:03,859 --> 01:11:06,089
Why? What's up? Um.

1386
01:11:06,458 --> 01:11:08,191
I just got off the phone with
Betty.

1387
01:11:08,226 --> 01:11:09,462
She's on her way over.

1388
01:11:10,500 --> 01:11:10,859
Yeah.

1389
01:11:11,935 --> 01:11:12,894
I told her we'd meet her
outside.

1390
01:11:14,163 --> 01:11:14,797
Okay.

1391
01:11:15,497 --> 01:11:17,668
I know, baby. Okay.

1392
01:11:20,802 --> 01:11:22,940
She seems like a perfectly nice
girl.

1393
01:11:23,676 --> 01:11:29,579
Sweet but sad. She was relieved
to hear that Nicholas is

1394
01:11:29,615 --> 01:11:32,287
back with you both. What do you
think she wants?

1395
01:11:34,890 --> 01:11:35,950
She wants to see him.

1396
01:11:36,859 --> 01:11:37,886
She wants to see you.

1397
01:11:39,322 --> 01:11:40,361
Do we have to?

1398
01:11:40,828 --> 01:11:41,494
You don't.

1399
01:11:42,994 --> 01:11:44,931
Stephanie surrendered Nicholas.
And you are the temporary foster

1400
01:11:45,000 --> 01:11:46,298
care appointed by the court.

1401
01:11:46,633 --> 01:11:51,405
So for the time being,
you have the right to say no.

1402
01:11:52,271 --> 01:11:53,506
You don't think we should?

1403
01:11:54,540 --> 01:11:56,443
Whenever there's room for a
kindness,

1404
01:11:57,011 --> 01:11:58,212
I'm in favor of it.

1405
01:11:58,248 --> 01:12:00,447
Do you think she's looking to
restore custody?

1406
01:12:02,281 --> 01:12:04,614
I don't know. I don't know.

1407
01:12:04,850 --> 01:12:08,888
What do you think? I think our
mothers are going to have

1408
01:12:08,924 --> 01:12:09,984
opinions about this.

1409
01:12:10,927 --> 01:12:12,390
No. I'm not okay with that.

1410
01:12:12,459 --> 01:12:14,157
She can make an appointment or
something.

1411
01:12:14,193 --> 01:12:15,157
It's Christmas Eve.

1412
01:12:15,192 --> 01:12:16,331
We're busy.

1413
01:12:17,798 --> 01:12:20,233
Mom. If we want to know whether
or not Nicky can even be a part

1414
01:12:20,302 --> 01:12:22,664
of our lives, this is how we
find out.

1415
01:12:22,733 --> 01:12:26,036
But what if what you find out is
bad news?

1416
01:12:26,338 --> 01:12:29,271
Well, then we won't be alone.

1417
01:12:29,306 --> 01:12:30,543
We'll be with you.

1418
01:12:32,043 --> 01:12:33,310
You always say there are times
when a girl needs her mother.

1419
01:12:33,345 --> 01:12:34,877
This is one of those times.

1420
01:12:35,180 --> 01:12:37,185
Oh. Clever girl.

1421
01:12:37,253 --> 01:12:40,282
Using my exact words and leaning
against me.

1422
01:12:40,317 --> 01:12:41,853
What do you need?

1423
01:12:42,389 --> 01:12:44,855
We need a totally calm
environment.

1424
01:12:45,390 --> 01:12:46,761
Where are you gonna go for that?

1425
01:12:47,163 --> 01:12:48,762
Here, mom, we need that in our
house.

1426
01:12:48,798 --> 01:12:49,957
There are like.

1427
01:12:49,993 --> 01:12:52,496
30 people downstairs,
half of whom are children,

1428
01:12:52,531 --> 01:12:54,367
hopped up on Angie's Italian
dessert.

1429
01:12:54,402 --> 01:12:56,097
Angie, I told you it was too
much espresso.

1430
01:12:56,132 --> 01:12:58,940
I didn't hear any complaints
from you after you had your

1431
01:12:58,975 --> 01:13:00,942
second helping of tiramisu.

1432
01:13:00,977 --> 01:13:04,638
Mom, ladies, we really need

1433
01:13:04,674 --> 01:13:06,407
you to rally the troops,
okay?

1434
01:13:06,442 --> 01:13:09,879
No one has to worry about being
perfect, but there can be no
mistakes.

1435
01:13:10,247 --> 01:13:11,012
Yeah, well.

1436
01:13:11,514 --> 01:13:13,146
Perfect. We can do.

1437
01:13:15,150 --> 01:13:17,392
Come on,everybody,
gather round and listen up.

1438
01:13:19,023 --> 01:13:23,058
Right now, we just need a
completely calm and peaceful

1439
01:13:23,094 --> 01:13:25,328
environment. And as much as we
love all of you, it could be a

1440
01:13:25,364 --> 01:13:26,993
little intense as a crew.

1441
01:13:27,362 --> 01:13:30,500
Yeah. So you can just you can go
in the kitchen, you can walk on

1442
01:13:30,536 --> 01:13:32,173
upstairs or hide in the
bathroom.

1443
01:13:32,242 --> 01:13:34,304
You want me to hide in the.
Bathroom?

1444
01:13:34,573 --> 01:13:36,769
No, mom.
It was just a suggestion.

1445
01:13:36,804 --> 01:13:38,746
That was a terrible suggestion.

1446
01:13:39,048 --> 01:13:40,640
We got you, Kelly. We got it.

1447
01:13:40,675 --> 01:13:42,081
Okay. Everybody scatter.

1448
01:13:42,116 --> 01:13:43,982
Just find a cozy spot.

1449
01:13:44,051 --> 01:13:45,178
Just stay quiet.

1450
01:13:46,384 --> 01:13:47,881
Hey, it's gonna be okay.

1451
01:13:47,949 --> 01:13:49,656
Okay. We could go home if you
want.

1452
01:13:49,724 --> 01:13:53,355
Are you kidding? I'm invested.
I want to see how this ends.

1453
01:13:53,390 --> 01:13:55,325
I think so. Okay.

1454
01:13:55,360 --> 01:13:58,064
Thank you. Wait,
uh, mom.

1455
01:13:58,133 --> 01:14:00,194
Here. Can you take Nicholas?

1456
01:14:00,530 --> 01:14:01,931
Oh. Will you stay close?

1457
01:14:02,331 --> 01:14:02,933
Yeah.

1458
01:14:03,268 --> 01:14:05,539
Okay. There we go.

1459
01:14:08,205 --> 01:14:08,839
Okay.

1460
01:14:14,079 --> 01:14:14,647
Okay.

1461
01:14:18,280 --> 01:14:24,123
You were right when you said
someone could just show up on

1462
01:14:24,159 --> 01:14:25,384
our doorstep and take him.

1463
01:14:26,054 --> 01:14:29,528
And now it might actually be
happening.

1464
01:14:29,563 --> 01:14:31,332
No, no, no. But remember what
Betty said,

1465
01:14:31,367 --> 01:14:34,331
right? That would be the
beginning of a much,

1466
01:14:34,367 --> 01:14:35,834
much longer conversation.

1467
01:14:35,902 --> 01:14:40,234
So right now, all we can do is
just acknowledge that fear.

1468
01:14:40,302 --> 01:14:45,876
We we, we look at right in the
face and we lead with love.

1469
01:14:52,781 --> 01:14:58,493
I love you. I love you,
too.

1470
01:15:01,995 --> 01:15:02,629
Okay.

1471
01:15:05,065 --> 01:15:05,830
Hi, girls.

1472
01:15:06,930 --> 01:15:11,264
Hi. I'd like you to meet
Stephanie Callahan.

1473
01:15:14,239 --> 01:15:15,136
Oh my gosh.

1474
01:15:16,144 --> 01:15:19,910
We we know you. Deville.

1475
01:15:21,812 --> 01:15:23,881
Chocolate croissant
and two lattes.

1476
01:15:24,548 --> 01:15:26,521
Every Sunday morning.

1477
01:15:31,094 --> 01:15:33,155
I thought about adoption.

1478
01:15:33,657 --> 01:15:36,861
For months. The father is...

1479
01:15:37,561 --> 01:15:38,929
He's not in the picture.

1480
01:15:39,496 --> 01:15:40,899
But my roommates.

1481
01:15:41,168 --> 01:15:42,763
They're amazing.

1482
01:15:42,798 --> 01:15:44,365
Best friends you can imagine.

1483
01:15:45,168 --> 01:15:47,002
They said they'd support
whatever decision I made.

1484
01:15:47,071 --> 01:15:52,074
And when he was born,
I decided I wanted to try.

1485
01:15:53,314 --> 01:15:54,747
I wanted to be good at it.

1486
01:15:56,149 --> 01:15:56,981
For Nicolas.

1487
01:15:57,317 --> 01:15:58,950
Yeah. Of course you did.

1488
01:15:58,986 --> 01:15:59,554
But.

1489
01:16:01,555 --> 01:16:03,184
I'm putting myself through
school,

1490
01:16:03,993 --> 01:16:05,219
working two jobs.

1491
01:16:06,629 --> 01:16:09,330
We were all taking turns
figuring out our schedules with

1492
01:16:09,365 --> 01:16:14,668
classes. I just wasn't ready for
this.

1493
01:16:15,701 --> 01:16:18,672
But I love him so much,
I promise I do.

1494
01:16:19,701 --> 01:16:21,105
Oh, Stephanie.

1495
01:16:21,141 --> 01:16:21,840
That was.

1496
01:16:22,539 --> 01:16:23,809
Never for debate.

1497
01:16:25,742 --> 01:16:26,977
There's this fish...
No.

1498
01:16:29,918 --> 01:16:34,113
I kept picturing him in a house
with a family who cares about

1499
01:16:34,148 --> 01:16:38,191
him and do all the things I wish
I could.

1500
01:16:38,827 --> 01:16:41,659
And I guess because I love
watching you when you come in

1501
01:16:41,728 --> 01:16:45,259
the home. I started picturing.
is yours.

1502
01:16:45,802 --> 01:16:46,062
Wow.

1503
01:16:48,003 --> 01:16:48,603
Thank you.

1504
01:16:49,870 --> 01:16:51,901
I knew the name of your store
from your uniform,

1505
01:16:51,937 --> 01:16:54,474
and I came down there planning
to have this,

1506
01:16:54,509 --> 01:16:57,376
this whole conversation with you
and ask.

1507
01:16:57,946 --> 01:17:01,008
But then I couldn't figure out
what I would say. I panicked and

1508
01:17:01,043 --> 01:17:03,211
just just grabbed a sheet of
paper.

1509
01:17:04,780 --> 01:17:06,817
I'm so sorry. It's okay.

1510
01:17:06,852 --> 01:17:10,652
Stephanie, honey,
getting overwhelmed is

1511
01:17:10,721 --> 01:17:12,355
completely understandable.

1512
01:17:13,091 --> 01:17:16,458
And if being Nicholas's parent
is what you want, honey.

1513
01:17:16,994 --> 01:17:19,161
There are resources available to
help you.

1514
01:17:22,968 --> 01:17:26,036
I'm not sorry. I asked them to
take Nicholas.

1515
01:17:26,403 --> 01:17:27,037
Okay.

1516
01:17:28,409 --> 01:17:30,007
I just regret the way I did it.

1517
01:17:30,880 --> 01:17:31,371
Okay.

1518
01:17:32,541 --> 01:17:33,175
Okay.

1519
01:17:36,615 --> 01:17:40,314
So, is this what you want?

1520
01:17:47,392 --> 01:17:48,256
Pretty sure.

1521
01:17:53,434 --> 01:17:56,671
Could I, um. Could I see him?

1522
01:17:58,637 --> 01:18:02,677
Um. Of course, of course.

1523
01:18:04,105 --> 01:18:09,843
Oh. This is, uh,
my mom, Angie

1524
01:18:09,878 --> 01:18:11,578
and Kelly's mom,
Joyce.

1525
01:18:11,614 --> 01:18:15,151
Thank you.

1526
01:18:16,156 --> 01:18:16,449
Oh.

1527
01:18:22,958 --> 01:18:28,362
Hi. Sweet boy. You're so happy.

1528
01:18:29,967 --> 01:18:31,464
Betty, I swear he's gotten
bigger.

1529
01:18:32,333 --> 01:18:34,436
And I hear he's got a tooth
coming in too.

1530
01:18:34,471 --> 01:18:34,973
Yeah.

1531
01:18:35,274 --> 01:18:35,908
Yeah.

1532
01:18:36,741 --> 01:18:37,976
He's handling it like a champ.

1533
01:18:38,709 --> 01:18:41,111
Gosh. Oh my goodness.

1534
01:18:41,918 --> 01:18:42,211
Hey!

1535
01:18:45,188 --> 01:18:46,721
I love you so much.

1536
01:18:48,120 --> 01:18:51,957
And I would do anything for you
in the whole world.

1537
01:18:53,823 --> 01:18:55,257
I want you to know that.

1538
01:18:57,459 --> 01:19:00,167
You would tell him that,
wouldn't you? That I want him to

1539
01:19:00,236 --> 01:19:01,433
have a wonderful life.

1540
01:19:01,468 --> 01:19:03,432
Of course, of course.

1541
01:19:04,168 --> 01:19:08,436
And, you know, we all live in
the same town.

1542
01:19:08,472 --> 01:19:13,407
I got accepted to a school in
Pennsylvania for next semester.

1543
01:19:14,682 --> 01:19:19,149
I think what I like is a fresh
start,

1544
01:19:20,150 --> 01:19:22,889
but it means a lot that you
would offer.

1545
01:19:24,324 --> 01:19:25,023
Thank you.

1546
01:19:30,593 --> 01:19:31,260
Okay.

1547
01:19:37,266 --> 01:19:40,137
I'm gonna try to do it right
this time.

1548
01:19:43,073 --> 01:19:48,974
Erin. Kelly. Are you willing to
make

1549
01:19:49,010 --> 01:19:50,785
a home for Nicholas?

1550
01:19:53,582 --> 01:19:58,317
Becoming Nicholas's parents
would be one of the greatest

1551
01:19:58,352 --> 01:20:00,421
Christmas gifts we could ever
ask for.

1552
01:20:01,927 --> 01:20:04,997
Kelly, you already are his
parents.

1553
01:20:10,306 --> 01:20:11,333
Thank you, stephanie.

1554
01:20:23,646 --> 01:20:24,082
Yes.

1555
01:20:31,185 --> 01:20:34,554
Okay. Can I give you a hug?

1556
01:20:35,496 --> 01:20:37,062
Yes. I'd like that.

1557
01:20:38,893 --> 01:20:39,493
Thank you.

1558
01:20:43,703 --> 01:20:45,335
So what happens now,
Betty?

1559
01:20:46,037 --> 01:20:49,939
Well, for now, just enjoy
Christmas.

1560
01:20:50,375 --> 01:20:52,842
We can formalize all of that so
everyone's comfortable and

1561
01:20:52,877 --> 01:20:54,412
knows exactly what to expect.

1562
01:20:54,448 --> 01:20:56,378
Okay. Thank you.

1563
01:20:57,079 --> 01:20:58,682
Glad both your moms are here.

1564
01:20:58,717 --> 01:20:59,813
That was lucky timing.

1565
01:21:00,349 --> 01:21:04,058
Well, actually,
our entire family is here.

1566
01:21:04,360 --> 01:21:05,852
Um, like all of them.

1567
01:21:05,888 --> 01:21:07,286
Yeah. Like here.

1568
01:21:07,322 --> 01:21:09,525
Here. They're here for
Christmas.

1569
01:21:10,395 --> 01:21:13,200
Yeah. We told them to hide
because we didn't want them to

1570
01:21:13,236 --> 01:21:14,129
overwhelm you.

1571
01:21:14,164 --> 01:21:15,466
But they don't have to keep
hiding.

1572
01:21:15,502 --> 01:21:16,799
Please, just,

1573
01:21:16,835 --> 01:21:18,136
get back to your holiday.

1574
01:21:18,737 --> 01:21:20,774
Okay? Everyone come out.

1575
01:21:20,810 --> 01:21:35,120
Come down now! You don't have to
hide anymore.

1576
01:21:37,025 --> 01:21:40,158
You did good. I'm proud of you.
Thank you. Betty.

1577
01:21:42,594 --> 01:21:51,433
Oh, yeah.

1578
01:21:54,070 --> 01:21:55,305
Don't you want to say goodbye?

1579
01:21:58,979 --> 01:22:02,576
This is exactly what I want to
remember.

1580
01:22:04,045 --> 01:22:14,228
Yeah. Come on.

1581
01:22:14,297 --> 01:22:23,998
Yeah. Come on.

1582
01:22:24,033 --> 01:22:29,603
Merry Christmas, Kelly.

1583
01:22:30,908 --> 01:22:32,144
Merry Christmas, Erin.

1584
01:22:34,343 --> 01:22:36,214
Merry Christmas. Merry
Christmas.

1585
01:22:38,048 --> 01:22:43,056
Not the life we expected.

1586
01:22:44,922 --> 01:22:54,930
Just the life we needed.

1587
01:22:54,965 --> 01:23:04,973
Just the life we needed.

1588
01:23:04,975 --> 01:23:15,484
Just the life we needed.
