[cheering and applause]
[man on PA] You've played an excellent game, Mrs. Crawford.
Would you like to see your prize?
Yes! Yes, please!
[man] Okay, then, let's show her what she's won!
-Does-does, does that mean I... -[horn blaring]
[man] We're giving the whole studio audience babies!
-[applause] -Oh, my God! Oh...
[man] You get a baby and you get a baby and you get a baby!
Wait. Wait. W-what about me?
I, I played the game fairly. W-where's my baby?
-[man] Oh. We ran out. -What?
[gasping]
-Oh, are you okay? -Uh, yeah.
-Come on... -I had a nightmare.
-Mm... -It was really crazy.
Oh.
[sighs]
[instrumental music]
[music continues]
-Hi! -Olivia.
Hi, Dr. Nori.
-Olivia, Olivia. -[Olivia chuckles]
I love what you've done with the magazines here.
Well, imagine when my next IVF cycle is successful,
I'll organize the whole office.
[Nori] Please. Sit.
So... have you and Brian considered taking a break
before you start your next cycle?
No way. I love these magazines too much.
Two miscarriages in three years suggests we might need
to change our approach a little.
I have some literature on gestational surrogacy
that I want Brian and you to take a look at.
Okay, last night I have a nightmare, right?
I'm on a game show, and I win a baby,
but before I get mine, they run out.
Was I your game-show host?
No, but, I mean, come on, Dr. Nori,
this whole thing is a bit like a game, you know?
It's the high stakes. We bet our money and take our chances.
And Brian and I know there are no guarantees,
but we are all in.
And I wanna carry my baby.
And I want you to have a healthy baby.
Olivia, I'm on your side.
All right. We'll do one more cycle of IVF.
And then depending on the results,
we'll look at other options.
Deal. Deal. Thank you, Dr. Nori.
All right.
♪ So let's have a night ♪
Benny. Benny, I'm a reasonable woman, right?
Okay? Well, then I...
This has already happened three times before.
♪ Just to be fair ♪
All right.
Okay, all I'm hearing are excuses.
You know my motto, either you're a problem solver
or you're a problem maker. Which one are you gonna be today?
Great. I knew we'd see eye to eye.
I'll see you in about an hour.
[Gabe] Let me see a mise en place offline, Steven.
[Anna sighs]
Two phones now, huh?
Three. I don't have enough pockets in this dress.
[chuckles] You are everything that dress needs.
-Mm-hmm. -Pockets are over-rated.
I got a call from the Journal today.
They wanna do an interview.
Oh, okay. I like interviews.
They wanna interview me.
They're doing a profile in the business section
about the brains behind the business.
-Uh-huh? -Mm-hmm. You hear that, guys?
I am the brains behind this business.
Well, I love it because, you know,
you don't get enough credit.
Oh? Can I talk to you for a second?
You're in a good mood.
[Anna] We're opening a restaurant,
we have good press coverage,
plus, we are meeting a new IVF doctor this week.
I just, I don't know, I feel like
everything is falling into place.
It just... Doesn't it feel that way to you?
-I do. I do feel that way. -Yeah. It's like work.
Family. We're unstoppable.
But I got to get ready for the dinner rush.
Oh, and I'm getting ready for morning monitoring,
and you know what that means.
No more sexy surprises?
No. No more.
So we got to make up
for all that sexy time...
[instrumental music]
[engine revving]
[dog barking]
[indistinct song playing]
[door opens]
Hi, baby.
You left so early this morning. I missed you.
Yeah. I didn't wanna wake you up.
-Darling. Wake me. -Hm?
-Always wake me. -You got it.
-[moans] Hey. -All right.
I made your favorite.
Oh, my goodness.
What did I do to deserve this feast?
Well, I went to see Dr. Nori today
and he approved us for another cycle of IVF.
So I'll just need help with my hormone shots later.
Dr. Nori concerned at all by the miscarriages?
I mean, a little, but, you know...
How little? How much is a little?
[chuckles] Look, he said we can do IVF one more time,
and if it doesn't work, we can consider surrogacy.
But, babe, we don't have to worry
about that right now, you know?
And I talked to his office, we can do a payment plan again
so that it'll take a little stress off.
You know what I was thinking? We sell the car.
Who needs it? I didn't like it anyway. What?
-Listen to me. -Yeah?
We don't have to keep doing this.
-You wanna give up? -No, no.
That's not what I'm saying at all.
I'm saying that if all this becomes too much...
we're enough.
-We're enough, okay? -Okay.
I'm hungry.
-Is this... -Yeah, that's you, baby.
-Enjoy. Hm. -Okay.
[exhales sharply]
[birds chirping]
[Nori] So, I've reviewed your files,
and looks like you've had trouble getting viable eggs
during past retrievals.
Unfortunately, the quality of your sperm morphology,
the shape of your sperm, makes it incapable of fertilization,
of creating the embryo.
W-we can cut to the chase.
It's my fault, so my sperm sucks.
Infertility isn't about fault.
We're here to overcome the odds
and solve potential problems together.
How exactly do we solve an issue like mine?
My treatment plan would involve donor cells.
Well, is using a donor our only option?
No, but given your history of repeated failures,
it's the option with the highest likelihood of success.
A donor?
It wouldn't be my baby.
[Nori] No, not biologically.
But there's more to being a father than biology.
Is there? Because it seems like a big part of it.
Yeah, but we said we'd do whatever it takes, right?
Whatever it takes to have a baby.
-Is this what you want? -Yes.
I really want a baby.
And I know this is not the way we thought it would happen,
but can you just keep an open mind for me, please?
Just for me?
I need to get back to the restaurant.
All right, then we're just gonna talk about this more at home.
-No. -No? Just no? Just flat out no?
-You don't wanna talk about it? -Let me finish.
We don't need to talk about it because I think we should do it.
Whatever it takes. Whatever it takes, right? Hm?
Hm?
Yeah.
Okay.
[instrumental music]
Mija, stop. You're making people nervous.
What people?
-Me. -You didn't have to come.
I'm just picking up some hormones.
I wanted to see the place where you're beginning
your special journey to motherhood.
[chuckles]
Plus, it's near the place with the good cocido.
Yeah, that's why.
[whispering] Ayi-yi-yi.
Please, go take a walk, shake a foot.
Why did you even come?
[door opens]
[instrumental music]
Ah, yes. Congratulations corner.
Kinda feels like a micro-aggression.
-Right? -Yeah. I mean...
Listen, it's great news for Rick and Steve, of course.
-But, uh, for the rest of us... -Sad.
Yup, they're in congratulations corner
and we're in Ooh, Try Again Town.
Uh, I'm Olivia.
-Hi, I'm Anna. -Hi.
Oh! Look at that one. Those cheeks, uh!
-I'm here for the hormone, so... -Yeah. Me, too.
[sighs] God. All I've ever wanted is to be a mom.
I mean, my mom died when I was young, but still I've just,
I've got this feeling like I'd be really good at it.
You know, I've just got all this love inside me
and no one to give it to.
I feel that way, too.
I've had this great career, but I can't get the one thing
that I really want.
Plus, I come from this huge family, so it's always,
"Where are the kids?" "Still no kids?"
My body's just not cooperating.
It's the questions that, they just make me feel broken.
-No, no, I get it. -I'm sorry.
No! No. Uh, you know what, um...
-Here you go. Sure. -Thank you.
This a dryer sheet?
Yes. Yes, it is.
Uh, I-I didn't have any tissues, and it-it was stuck in my pants.
-I, I panicked. -Okay.
It's crisp linen, so, you know.
-Is, uh, is that your mom? -Yeah.
She wants to be with me on my special journey to motherhood.
[Olivia] Aww...
Do you want one of those fancy candies from the front desk?
You know what, I do.
What? Oh, they're individually-wrapped.
We should get coffee. You're my kind of crazy.
Thank you.
-[Anna] Are we ready? -No.
-But we're gonna do it anyway. -We can't put it off again.
So tonight we're gonna pick our child's father.
-Sperm donor. -[Gabe] I know.
So I did a little research.
-To narrow it down a little. -How'd you do that?
They have profiles on the donors.
Like, they tell you what they studied in college,
what their hobbies are.
There's this one man who studied astrophysics in college.
-And he's a surfer. -A surfing astrophysicist?
Yeah, he also loves opera, and he has no cancer in the family.
-Oh, that's good. -Wanna see a photo?
-They have photos? -Yeah, they do.
They have photos of them when they were babies,
all the way to elementary school.
And if we like them, we swipe right
and put him on our favorites list.
-Like sperm dating? -Kind of.
[Gabe] Whoa-ho.
-This kid looks nothing like me. -Is that a problem?
Everybody's gonna know it's not my baby.
A-are we trying to hide the fact that we're using a sperm donor?
I don't think we should lie,
but the lesser questions, the better.
[sighs] Okay, baby, I want you to be comfortable.
-Then let's look at both. -Okay.
Anyone here look a little more like me?
Yeah, but we have to move fast 'cause the good ones go fast.
Uh-huh. Oh.
[Anna] This one. He looks like you.
He's got the same skin tone, he's got your eyes.
-Same oval head. -Oval head?
Baby, I love your oval head.
He's a, he's a firefighter and he was starting pitcher
on his high-school baseball team.
I'm listening.
[Olivia] My God, sperm dating? [Anna] I know!
-[Olivia] Ooh. -[cell phone ringing]
[Anna] Yeah, my mom keeps calling me.
She wants to be looped into the sperm choices.
I'm like, "Mom, I love you, but you don't get a vote in this."
[laughs] I mean, it's actually kinda sweet.
Oh, I gotta say, this whole thing
has really made me miss my mom.
Of course, what do you think she'd think
about all this IVF stuff?
-Oh, she'd be supportive. -Did she wanna have more kids?
Oh, I mean, she absolutely would have.
You know, her dream was to foster a house full of kids.
But, um, but she got sick before she had the chance, so...
Oh, she sounds like she had a big heart.
She did.
Oof! It's, uh, strange, grief, you know?
It's like this thing that's always in the background,
this faint static.
-Especially in big life moments. -Exactly.
I mean, I feel like I'm losing her all over again.
And I can't help but think, if I get pregnant--
When you get pregnant.
When I get pregnant,
my mom's not gonna be there.
And what if I'm bad at it or I need advice,
or, I don't know...
Well, first of all, you're not gonna be bad at it,
you'll be a great mom, and if you need advice,
my mom has enough advice for the both of us.
-I promise you that. -All right.
I was thinking, if I have a girl,
I'd name her after my mom. Mia.
Oh, that's beautiful. I love that name.
-Mia. -Yeah, Mia. Little Mia.
-Mia. -[cell phone ringing]
-Oh, wow. Okay. -You should take it.
-No, she might call the police. -You...
Actually, don't joke, because,
uh, she actually would do that.
Hi, mom.
No, I'm sitting here having coffee with Olivia.
Can I call you later? All right. Bye, mom.
-Bye, mom! -You see, she's saying bye!
-Bye, mom! -[Olivia chuckles]
-Oh, she sounds like fun. -Yeah. Oh.
-You're gonna love her. -Yeah. We're gonna get along.
Mom and I are gonna get along for sure.
[instrumental music]
Hi! Sorry, I'm here!
Oh.
-[Gail] Ah, you're late. -Ooh, yeah, sorry.
It took me a little longer to bike than I thought.
Is your car in the shop again?
No. We sold it to pay for more IVF.
Well, partially pay for it anyway.
-Oh, Olivia. -Oh, that reminds me.
-Can you cover me Tuesday? -Why?
They've got two viable embryos
and we're implanting on Tuesday.
Okay, so the word "implanting" creeps me out.
Are you sure you wanna try again?
Yeah, because kids are expensive and overrated.
Do not act like your kids are not your entire world.
-Is that a yes? -I can cover Tuesday.
Thank you. You're the best!
And if it doesn't work out,
I'll just give you one of my kids.
Perfect!
I worry about that one.
She should babysit my kids for a night.
She'd have thought twice about selling that car.
[chuckling]
[instrumental music]
[Olivia] Ugh, where's Brain?
Uh, thank you, guys, for taking me. Really.
I should have asked him to take the day off.
-[Anna] Don't be nervous. -I know. What am I doing?
It's your first time. I should be calming you.
Oh, please, I rarely get anxious,
but this one, he's a basket case.
I don't like doctors, hm.
[nurse] Olivia Crawford?
You know, let me go first.
-I'll go tell her. Yes. -What? Are you sure?
What if they won't let us switch?
You don't know my wife.
She always gets what she wants.
Hi. Do you think we could go first?
Like, these appointments happening together...
[laughs] that's the power of Anna.
Oh. Thank you.
I see why you love her.
[Nori] All right, Olivia. No more knock-knock jokes.
I'm done.
-Ready? -[Olivia] Yeah.
-Ooh. -[indistinct chatter]
-[nurse] Sorry. -No, it's okay.
-[nurse] Yeah. -[door opens]
[Nori] Okay, it's time.
[Olivia] Brian, where are you?
All right, Olivia, I was happy to get Ms. Ramirez in earlier.
-But I'm sorry. -Please, please.
He, I know he's gonna be here.
[Nori] We can't wait any longer.
Two more minutes?
[Olivia] Okay, oh, no, it-it's fine.
-You know the protocol. -Yup.
-State your name. -Olivia Crawford.
-Mm-hmm. -There we go.
[whistles]
[door opens]
-Oh, babe! -Hey, babe.
Honey, I thought something happened. Where were you?
No, no, no. I'm fine, I'm fine. No, no, no. I'm sorry.
I got stuck at the site and my phone died, as always.
[Olivia] Okay. [Nori] Just in time, Brian.
-I'll never miss this. -[Olivia chuckles]
You're beautiful.
[whistles] Okay.
-[Nori] That's it. -We did it.
-Good job. Good job. -Okay.
[Olivia] I came to play, guys. [Pete] Yeah. Yeah.
-She always does. -All right.
-Everyone gets five still. -Five still.
I think we should play for money.
[Brian] I think that's a good idea.
Do the bears on your scrubs know that you're a ruthless gambler?
Yes, and they support me, dad.
Oh, please tell me you don't take money from your patients.
I work in pediatrics. Plus, kids never bring their wallets.
-[chuckles] -That's a shame.
-That's not funny. -All right, let's see 'em.
Is everyone good putting your cards? Dad?
-Yeah, yeah. -Okay, ready?
[Pete] Yes, all right. There you go. Take 'em.
-Ooh! Full house! -Ooh...
-What? -I don't play. I don't know.
-No way! Oh. -I'm not gonna say.
But, dad, uh, speaking of a full house, uh,
Brian and I actually just finished another round of IVF.
I mean, you know, nothing official, of course,
but we'll know in a few days.
I didn't realize you guys were trying IVF again.
So many children in need of good homes.
Well, you already helped dad raise me.
-I didn't raise you. -You did, after mom died.
So I know you'd be a great mom.
-Oh, I love you. Thank you. -And I love you, too.
Have you guys considered fostering?
-Adoption? -Yup. Yup.
We've considered all those options.
And-and we are open
to all of those options, of course, dad.
You know, we just, we wanna try one more time.
And, you know, we really want a big family
and I wanna experience pregnancy.
And just with all this, it's just,
I kinda feel like I'm running out of time.
There's still time. I mean, I mean, you're young.
Oh, dad, I love you, we've been over this,
and fertility is a disease.
Mm-hmm, it can happen to anyone at any age.
Thank you.
I just hate to see you
experience so much heartache.
I tell you what,
why don't we talk about the cards?
-[Lily] Mm. -Good idea?
Yeah, that's about right.
[laughs]
[Nori] I have something to tell you.
I-is it, is it bad news? Oh, my God, it's bad news.
-It's not bad news. -I'm pregnant?
Yes, you're pregnant with twins!
-Oh... Oh, my God! -Wh... Uh, uh...
Are they, are they healthy? I mean, everything's going--
Brian, I know you're very nervous.
But even after recurrent pregnancy loss,
upwards of 77 percent of women
go on to have healthy pregnancies.
And so there's no reason for me to believe
that you won't be part of that majority.
Oh, my God!
Twins! Oh, my God.
Feeling good about this, mama. Exciting, but good.
Let's not get too excited 'cause we don't--
No, no, no, it's too late, it's too late.
-We got this. We got this. -Ah...
-Hey. -Hi.
-Gabe, Anna. -Are we pregnant?
Congratulations to you both.
-[laughs] -Oh, God! Oh, God! Oh!
-Oh, God! -Whoo!
I got to call my mom! I got to call my mom!
Oh, my God, where's my phone? Where's my purse?
-Uh... -Uh, right, I put it...
Thank you, doctor. Thank you.
[instrumental music]
[indistinct chatter]
-[Gabe] Okay, okay! -[indistinct chatter]
-Oh! -[Olivia] Thank you!
-Thank you! -That's good.
What is that?
All right, well, here's to being pregnant.
[all cheering]
[Brian] Cheers. [Anna] Salud! Salud!
-Cheers. -Oh.
Ah. I hope you're hungry.
Uh, we ate earlier.
There's, there's more to come, I promise you. Come on.
[Brian] Oh, you need my help? I'm coming.
[Gabe] Yes, yes.
I can't believe our babies are having babies.
-I wanna be happy for her. -Then do it.
She has enough of her own problems.
She needs her papa to support her.
So have you told anyone?
Just my dad and my sister. How about you?
Oh. Oh, God, I've told everyone. Gabe can't stop telling people.
He-he told the mailman this morning.
Oh, that's sweet.
Uh , Brian's too nervous to tell anyone
before the second trimester.
You know, just because you've had a miscarriage
doesn't mean that you'll have another one.
I know. I just, I wish I was confident as you about it.
Mm.
Well, I think we've sacrificed so much
that I kinda wanna just shout it to the world.
[Anna] Come on! Come on! [Olivia] What, what, what?
[Olivia] I have no idea what's happening right now.
-I don't-- -World, I'm pregnant!
-Now you go. -No, no, that's fine.
No, you should do it.
-World, I'm pregnant! -[Anna] Okay, louder.
Come on, that's lame. Louder.
[yelling] I'm having twins!
Hell, yeah! You are!
You two, come back inside. Come back inside.
-[Anna laughs] -This is a great day.
You're insane. That was crazy. Oh, I love it. Oh, my God.
[Pete] We should commemorate this, all right? Ready?
-Oh, yes, yes. -[Pete] Okay.
Okay, one, two, three, say babies.
[both] Babies!
-[applause] -Oh, I love it.
-Oh, my God. -Oh.
Come, come, eat.
[indistinct chatter]
[instrumental music]
[Anna] Oh... [Olivia] Tiny!
You know, I'm just gonna spoil my baby today.
I'm gonna spoil your babies today.
I might spoil everyone's babies today.
I shouldn't say that so loud. Okay. Look at that.
Oh, oh...
-Aww... -Look at this.
-It's so cute. But... -Mm-hmm.
What if it's a girl?
Girls can wear that.
-Hell, yeah, they can. -Yeah.
Oh, did we go upstairs? Is there an upstairs?
-[clerk] Yeah. -Oh, we got to do that.
[Olivia] Oh, look at that. [Anna] Oh, look at...
Another wonderful choice. How far along are you?
Sixteen weeks. We both are.
Well, we work with a local artist
and every book is handmade.
-Wow. It's gorgeous. -Yeah.
I need some of these. This is nice.
-Oh, my God! -What?
You chose the gender in advance
during the insemination and you didn't tell me?
-Shh! -You're having a boy?
[whispers] Yes, I'm having a boy.
I didn't wanna tell anyone, it's controversial
depending on your beliefs. And I don't wanna be judged.
Oh, Anna, I would never judge you. I-I think it's great.
I'm so happy for you guys.
Both of our embryos were boys.
Gabe's always wanted a son, he's never said that,
but I know he does.
You guys didn't wanna know the sex of your babies?
No, Brian and I thought it might be kinda nice
to have some element of surprise in all this.
Plus, can you imagine the upcharge for twins? Crazy.
[Olivia] Oh, my gosh, look-- [Anna] Look at that rainbow.
[Anna] You hungry? [Olivia] Are you kidding?
All I do is eat.
Well, there's an adorable bistro about a block away.
My treat, don't argue. Come on, we can drive.
Oh. No, don't be silly, We can walk.
Is it a long block?
-Okay. -Okay.
[Olivia] You got it? [Anna] Yeah, I got it.
[Olivia chuckles]
All right, now, are you sure you bought enough stuff?
'Cause I think there was, like, two things left in the back.
I told you I was spoiling this baby.
Oh, you know what, speaking of spoiling, my mom's
throwing me this huge baby shower at the restaurant.
Oh, that's great, well, ask her if there's
anything I can do to help.
-[groans] -What is it?
Oh, it, I just, it's a cramp.
Okay, you know what? Let's go sit down.
-Okay. Yeah. -Okay?
-All right. -There you go.
-Yeah, it's good... -Okay.
[groaning]
Okay, Anna, give me your keys, I'll take you to the hospital.
No, I just need some water. I just--
No, Anna, you need to go to the hospital.
-[panting] I know... -Come on.
[groaning]
-Oh, my God. -Oh, God...
-Okay, give me your bags. -Oh, my God...
-This can't be happening. -It's okay, it's okay.
Just get in the car. It's okay. Just give me the...
I'm gonna take you to the hospital, okay? It's okay.
Okay. It's o...
-Okay, just breathe, all right? -[Anna panting]
-Oh, my God. -[siren wailing]
[Olivia] Just breathe. It's okay. Just breathe.
-[groans] -It's okay. Just breathe, honey.
Just breathe.
It's okay. Look, this hospital is the best.
My sister works here, and I got a hold of Gabe.
He's gonna be here really soon, okay?
-Just wait, wait in the hall. -Her husband's not here yet.
-No, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. -Please. Please.
[woman on PA] Dr. Davis, telephone, please.
[sobbing]
[instrumental music]
-[Brian] Hi! -Hi!
-Are you okay? What's goin' on? -I'm okay.
I'm okay, I'm okay, the babies are okay.
It's, it's Anna.
Her baby?
-Well, what happened? -I don't know what happened.
-[indistinct chatter] -I don't know.
Is she okay? Are they okay?
[sniffles]
Anna?
Baby's gone.
No...
[sobbing]
[music continues]
[instrumental music]
Can I get you a fresh cup?
No, thanks.
-How about some French toast? -No, that's fine.
Um, aren't you leaving to work soon?
I thought maybe I could take the day off.
We could, uh, drive to the beach.
Gabe, you have to stop doing this.
You've been doing this for two weeks now.
What?
I don't wanna go to the beach. I don't want breakfast.
I don't wanna be placated, I don't wanna be distracted.
Then what do you want?
I'm gonna go lie down.
-I-I'll come with you-- -No. Please, just go to work.
[door shuts]
[sighs]
-Hey! -Hi.
-I appreciate you coming. -Oh, of course.
I'm so glad you called. This is from Brian.
-What's this? -Wind chimes.
He, um, he made 'em for me when we lost our babies.
And I love to hear the sound.
You know, makes me feel connected to 'em.
They're beautiful. Tell him I said thank you.
Of course.
-I-I just don't know what to do. -Oh, Gabe, I know.
But no one knows what to do.
And everything is an emotional landmine.
You know, I would, I'd go into the bathroom and run the faucet
so he wouldn't hear me crying, you know?
And when we finally broke down and talked about it,
he said he was doing the same thing.
I know it's tough.
Just be gentle with each other, okay?
When she's ready to talk, she'll talk.
Come here.
-Thank you. -Of course, darling.
I'm sure she'll love to see this.
-Yeah, I'll bring 'em in. -Door's open.
Okay.
[instrumental music]
[Olivia exhales sharply]
I'm sorry I didn't call you back.
Oh, I understand.
I was just waiting to feel normal again.
I know. It takes time.
H-h-how much time?
There are no rules.
And it's a lonely club.
You know, it's the part that no one talks about.
But I want you to know I am here, okay?
You can talk to me any time.
This would make a good workout room, don't you think?
Oh. Sweetheart, come here.
[sobbing]
-[instrumental music] -[indistinct chatter]
-Oh, these are so cute. -I know, right?
-[indistinct chatter] -I know. Hi! Good to see you.
I made them with my own two hands
because I love you so much.
Oh, you are the best sister. Hi!
Thank you for coming. Here's you necklace.
-For you! -Oh, hey!
-Mwah! You look... -Look at you.
[Bernie] You look gorgeous and you, too, look gorgeous.
Hello, I've got some necklaces for you guys.
-This is for you, dear. -Okay, so what the hell is this?
Okay, don't say the B word, or we'll take away your necklace.
Well, why would I call someone the B word?
At the shower, the B word is baby.
-Yes. -Oh, that's ridiculous.
Well, there are prizes for the person at the end
with the most necklaces, so keep your ears open.
Oh, okay, oh, and since I covered your shift for IVF,
I hope you'll be naming one of the twins Gail.
You know, if it's a girl, I'll consider it.
Do not encourage her, Olivia. Please.
All right, you can set your gifts under the bag.
We got plenty of food. I'm so happy you're here.
-Thank you. We love you. -Thank you, guys.
-See you later. Hi! Hello! -This is for you.
Yeah, this is for you. I'll show you where to put those.
Okay? Wanna follow me down?
-Thanks, Lil. -You're welcome.
All right, guys, we're gonna play some games,
so put your baby gifts on the table.
Oh, my God!
-Hi! -Hey.
-Oh, you guys came. Hi! -Yes. Hello.
Oh, I'm so glad you're here. Thank you for coming.
-Thanks for having us. -[Olivia] Of course.
-Thank you. -Blue and pink, huh?
Yeah, you know, thought we'd cover all our bases, so...
-Well, you look great. -Thank you.
I'll go look for Brian.
-Hi! -Oh.
-This is so beautiful! -Thank you.
You know, I totally would've understood
if you didn't wanna come to this.
No. I would never have missed it.
-I got you something. -Yeah?
-Yes. Yes, you can. -Can I open it?
[Olivia giggles] Okay.
Oh, Anna. You remembered.
It's extra-large, plenty of room to write everything
from their, uh, blood types to the first day of preschool.
Oh, my God, that was so thoughtful.
-Thank you. -You're welcome.
-Oh, I love it. -I'm glad you do.
Oh, it's gorgeous! Look at that.
Oh, hi, guys. Listen.
Um, there's drinks inside, lots of food.
Enjoy. I'll see you in a little bit, okay?
-Okay. Hello. -Thank you.
Hey, hi, thank you for coming.
[indistinct chatter]
[laughter]
[indistinct chatter]
[instrumental music]
How are you holding up?
[sighs] I feel like everything I'm doing is wrong.
Yeah. I've been there.
Liv, she went to these support groups,
you know, talked about it, helped her out a lot.
I'm not really that into that, so, uh, not for me.
So what did you do?
She gave me this journal. Put it in my truck.
Her therapist says that it may be easier for me
to write about it than talk about it, so...
-Was it? -I don't know. Maybe. Yeah.
Yeah.
I feel like it was the best time of our lives.
And... then boom.
Just gone.
[indistinct chatter]
[laughter]
[Olivia] Ready?
[indistinct chatter]
[people cheering]
[Brian] You know, grief, it's-it's complicated.
Tell me about it, one minute she's angry,
the next minute she says she doesn't want every conversation
to be about the miscarriage. I can't win.
I'm talking about your grief.
Ah...
I don't feel like I have the right to even talk about it
because it's so much worse for her, you know?
I know, grief is this invisible wrecking ball,
comes in, destroys your whole life, no one ever even sees it.
I shut down, stopped talking.
How did you fix it?
That's just it. I stopped trying to fix it.
I stopped trying to be the fix-it man for everything
and I started listening.
-[chuckles] -[door opens]
-Hey. Um... -[Gabe] Hey.
-[Brian] Hey. -I'm ready to go.
-Okay, how you feel? -Yeah, I'm f-fine. I just...
I'm ready to go. Yeah. Yeah, I'm ready.
-Okay, buddy. -Thanks so much for everything.
Hey.
-You wanna watch a little TV? -No, I'm gonna go to bed.
-I'll go to bed with you. -You go ahead.
You know, maybe I'll just, I'll read a little.
-Really? -Gabe, I just need some space.
I've given you nothing but space.
What about what I need?
We're not doing this.
[sighs] It has been over four months now.
When are we gonna start talking about this?
I'm hurting here, you know? He was my son, too.
He wasn't your biological son.
How can you say that to me?
You looked me in the eye and you told me
that biology didn't mean anything.
You told me being a father was about more.
-Was that all a lie? -No, I'm sorry.
It's not what I meant.
-Well, how could I-- -No, you just...
You just, you don't understand.
It's different when you're a mother.
How can I know how you feel if you don't even talk to me,
if we don't spend time together, if you don't look at me?
-Gabe, this isn't about you. -It should be about both of us!
I mean, it's crazy, I-I reach out to you
a-and you just pull away, over and over and over.
Stop. Really, stop complaining.
Stop telling me I'm a horrible wife.
Stop telling me all of these things
'cause you're not making it any better.
That's not what I'm saying. You are a wonderful wife.
I just don't know what to do anymore.
I just want to be alone.
-And I wanna be with you. -And I want to be alone.
Okay.
I give up.
-[Gabe sighs] -[door shuts]
[scoffs]
[mumbles]
Okay, so I'm not gonna try getting these boxes down
and unload them. They can do that themselves.
[grunts]
Hey, Gail, how many flats of water are down there?
I can't see past my feet.
Okay, let's see... One, two, three.
-Oh. Oh, water. -I got it!
No, no. M-m-my water just broke.
Oh. Bernie!
-We got a code baby! -Babies?
Are we having the babies? Are we having the babies now?
-Oh, my God, I'm coming! -I'm breathing. It's fine!
Having the babies? We're gonna have the babies here.
Okay, you're making me nervous, it's fine.
-I-I'm breathing! -Okay, okay!
Call Brian. Gail, you're in charge.
-[Gail] Got it! Breathe! -You're gonna have the babies!
We're gonna do it right here?
I'm in charge? I need wine.
Oh, Mrs. Kepler, good to see you. We're having the babies.
We're gonna go to the car, we're gonna go in the car,
and we're gonna have the babies, we're gonna have the babies
in the car, we're gonna have the babies in the car.
Breathe in, we're going to my car.
Okay, oh, God, I'm breathing--
-Keep breathing-- -You're making me nervous.
It's not birthing! Don't be nervous!
People have been having, women have had babies
a long time, and you knew this was gonna happen.
It's been almost nine months. You knew this was gonna happen.
That's true, I can have babies.
You're gonna have babies in the hospital,
not in my car. Get in my car!
Get in the car, Olivia, all of you
get in the car and don't come out!
[instrumental music]
[Olivia grunting]
[babies crying]
Oh, my God.
-[indistinct chatter] -We're parents.
Oh, my God.
[instrumental music]
Hi, buddy.
[indistinct chatter]
[Olivia] Whoo!
Ready?
One, two, whoo-hoo!
Ah! We're doing it! Okay.
Come here, guys. Okay.
[Olivia] Here we go, guys. Ooh.
Oh, Mia, hold on, baby, hold on. Sorry, she's fussy.
Can you, please, hold him for a second?
-Okay, Sammy, go see Anna. -Of course. Oh.
My goodness, look at this beautiful boy!
-Hi, mama. Ah. -Four months.
-I can't believe it. -I know. Me neither.
I mean, it's so weird, it feels like I just had them
and like they've been here forever.
Are, uh, you and Gabe thinking of trying again?
We haven't discussed it.
You know, um, Brian's been picking up extra shifts
so I can extend my maternity leave,
but, God, we're both just so exhausted.
[chuckles] Sammy.
-I can help. -What are you talking about?
You are the busiest woman I know.
Mrs. I Run Three Restaurants.
[chuckles] Yeah.
I'm not too sure I'm gonna go back.
Come on, you love your job.
You said it was just a leave of absence.
I just, I don't want people pitying me.
And Gabe is the superstar.
You know, he's the one that people come to see.
-He's the chef. -I bet he misses you.
Well, he's been working a lot lately,
so it's kinda been a blessing.
You know, you guys just need to reconnect.
No. I'm not feeling it.
Look, okay, here's what you got to do, all right?
You got to just, you got to start small, right?
Just, like, um, you know,
put on a sexy dress, surprise him at work.
-Oh, do the hair thing. -What hair thing?
You know, when you're like, "Hey there!"
And then you just do the sexy hair thing.
-Yeah, give him the heat. -No, actually, I don't know.
Put on some heels.
-[laughs] Come on, stop it. -Play some sexy music.
-[crickets chirping] -[dog barking]
[Brian groans]
-Thank God-- -[shushing]
[whispering] I just got them to go to sleep.
I didn't want them to...
[shushing]
[sighs] Okay.
I can go start dinner if you want.
No, no, no, no.
Let's just do takeout.
Oh, my God, I love you so much right now.
Okay.
[baby cooing]
Wait a minute. Watch this.
-Are you ready? Okay, watch. -Hm.
♪ Shout shout let it all out ♪
♪ These are the things I can do without come on ♪

[mumbles]
[engine revving]
[instrumental music]
I mean, that guy ate, like, six tacos and three burritos.
So crazy.
[Gabe] I mean, with everything that we have on the menu...
I mean, come on, all those wonderful dishes.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
No, no, no.
You should leave. Anna!
-Anna, wait. It's... -Ah, well!
-It's not what you think. -Yeah, okay.
-Nothing happened. -I don't believe you.
Uh, you saw her, she, uh, she was just helping me lock up.
It looked like she wanted more and it looked like
you were open to it.
No, I wasn't.
Y-you know I'd never do anything to hurt us.
We've been together 16 years, you know who I am!
Maybe I don't!
I come home and you look at me like you hate me.
Oh, so it's my fault. Yeah.
I can't believe you would do this to me, especially now.
Yeah, don't bother coming home.
-Get her out of here. -Anna, please. Don't do this!
[birds chirping]
Oh, you let me sleep all night. Best husband ever.
-Hey, mama. -Hi.
-Do we have any coffee? -We do. Fresh pot.
-Thank you. -How'd you sleep?
Oh, like a baby.
I mean, not like our babies, of course,
because I slept through the night.
Yeah, not like our babies. Sam never sleeps.
-You gotta sing the song. -The song! That's what I forgot.
♪ Shout shout let it all out ♪
-Mm... -I'm beyond exhausted, babe.
So how are you so calm with all this goin' on?
You know, at night when they're nursing...
they look at me like
they have all the answers to all the questions I've ever had
in my entire life, and...
I-I just, I love 'em so much, it hurts.
Babe, can we just eat bacon and stay in our pajamas all day?
-Oh, I could deal with that. -Mm.
-Cheers. -Thank you.
Mm, I got to finish the baby book.
Mm. Where was I? Mm, right.
You want some grapes?
-Um, I'm okay. Thanks, though. -[Brian] Okay.
-Okay. -More for me.
Mia is type O like me.
And Sam...
Hm.
Hey, babe, what blood type are you again?
O positive.
There must be a mistake. It says Sam's AB.
-So? -Well, it just...
That doesn't make any sense.
[Olivia] I don't understand. What are you telling us?
[lawyer] There's no easy way to put this,
but there was an error at implantation.
-Look, what happened was-- -No.
[lawyer] One of the embryos was not yours.
Stop. Stop. What are you talking about?
-Wait, hold, hold on, hold on! -How did this happen?
-I carried someone else's baby? -No--
The biological parents have been notified.
They're here and anxious to meet with you.
But you are under no legal obligation--
No, no way! We just found this out!
What do you mean as of yet? That is my... No, babe.
We're going home. Absolutely not, no.
-This is your fault. -Stop it, Brian. Stop it!
[Olivia] Stop it! Come on, we are leaving. Stop it.
No, we are not meeting with anybody.
We are going...
[instrumental music]
T-this is insane. How can something like this happen?
And what are they doing here? This is your fault, man.
-Guys, you have every right-- -Dr. Nori, stop!
Everyone should direct their questions to me.
They only thing that we know definitively
is that the male embryo that Ms. Crawford carried
and gave birth to belonged to Mr. and Mrs. Ramirez.
Okay, now he's talking real.
Yeah, now as far as custody of the child is concerned,
that would become a matter of the family courts.
-What? What the-- What? -No. Come on. Stop! Stop!
Stop it, okay? This is crazy! Okay.
Brian and Olivia are-are, they're our friends
and they're not gonna fight us for custody of our child.
[lawyer] Unfortunately, it's not that simple.
You'll have to sue for custody.
No, you want me to sue for custody of my own child?
A child that Olivia Crawford gave birth to and has been
raising with her husband for the past four months.
-His name is Sam! -That's right. He has a sister.
He's a twin, and you cannot separate them.
You can't let them take him.
Investigation or not,
our son is comin' home tonight.
-You're not taking him home! -Stop! Stop it!
He is our son, we are not giving up custody.
I've missed out on four months of bonding with my son.
You can't do this, Olivia, you can't keep a baby away from me.
You know what I've been through.
He is not an embryo anymore.
Sam is a real person,
a person we have been raising.
No, you know... Why are you doing this?
-[Gabe] Anna, Anna! -Back up!
Because I am his mother.
No, you're not his mother!
-I'm his mother! -Anna, Anna, Anna!
This is not over. You should be ashamed of yourselves.
-This is so disgusting. -To hell with you!
[door shuts]
[Anna] We should go over there.
[Gabe] That's a bad idea.
I mean, we're all pretty upset, you know?
-Upset? I'm devastated. -So am I.
Or am I not allowed to say that because
I'm not the biological father?
I'm sorry.
I never should've said that.
I can't live in a city where someone else
is raising my baby, I can't.
We should go home and talk to a lawyer in the morning.
This is not an excuse for you to come back home.
As far as I'm concerned, nothing has changed between us.
-Everything has changed-- -No, nothing. Nothing.
-Where you're concerned. -Well, I did not have an affair.
I did nothing wrong. I'm not...
How long you're gonna do this to me, huh? I mean...
Does it make you feel better that you're doing this to us?
Where you goin'?
I'm tired. We need some rest.
Okay, w-we're wasting too much energy fighting each other.
We should be fighting for our son.
Maybe she won't fight. You know, maybe she'll come to her senses.
-I know that she will. -I don't know about that.
She had some time to bond with him.
I don't care if they've bonded.
That's our child!
[sighs]
[wind chimes chiming]
[Olivia] You like it? [Lily] Yeah, I do.
Mm, I need to ask you by the way,
your friend Sarah, her mom's a lawyer, right?
She any good?
Yeah, I think so, she works a lot.
Okay. I need a real lawyer.
I mean, I have been doing custody research for weeks now,
but, ooh, I have hit a wall with what I can do on my own.
Research for what, there's gonna be a hearing
and you'll give Sam back.
Are you serious? That's not happening.
-Anna is the biological mother. -Okay, Lily.
There's a lot more to being a mother than genetics.
I mean, are you serious? It's practically kidnapping.
Lily, think about everything
Brian and I have gone through, they babies we've lost.
You're telling me that if you had a child, you wouldn't do
everything in your power to protect it?
Yeah, and think about what Sam would want.
Yeah, Sam would wanna stay with me, his mother and his sister.
Okay, if you kept Sam, how do you know
he wouldn't resent you for it?
Lily, you don't understand, because you're not a mother.
And as a mother, you do everything in your power
to protect your child, so, yes, I'm going to fight for Sam.
Are you gonna give me the number or not?
[cell phone beeps]
So there's a hearing scheduled for next week.
Family court moves fast, the judge wants to resolve this
as quickly as possible for the sake of the child.
Okay, how much is all this gonna cost?
W-we can't worry about that. Why would you even bring that up?
Well, we have another child we have to think about.
-Mia's future. -Well, sure, but, I mean...
The clinic isn't gonna want bad press, there'll be some kind
of financial settlement. We'll just use the money from that.
[Brian] Suing a clinic could take years.
We'll be bankrupt by then.
[Vanessa] These fights are not made for the faint of heart
or wallet.
Maybe it's a good idea to open up the lines of communication,
ease the heat on the situation a bit.
I spoke to the Ramirez' lawyer
and she think that's a good idea, too.
Like a cease fire, a friendly meeting first.
-Just to talk. Yeah. -[Vanessa] Exactly.
'Cause then, then they may actually see
that we're better for Sam, and do the right thing.
Okay. Yeah. Yeah, let's do it.
-Absolutely. -Good idea.
-Set it up. -Great.
[instrumental music]
[sighs]
This is insane. It's a total nightmare.
I know, and I, I don't know what I was thinking the other day.
-I'm very sorry. -No, i-it's okay.
I-I'm sorry, I was so upset, and it just...
I'm hoping that we could work this out together.
Yeah, s-so do I.
I-I wanted to talk about visitation.
Okay, I mean, I haven't spoken to Gabe,
but I'm sure that he'd be open to you and Brian
having some sort of informal visitation.
I don't think there's a problem with that.
Um...
I actually wanted to offer you and Gabe visitation.
-Are you joking? -No.
Until we figure out how to move forward.
You said you didn't wanna hurt me.
I don't. Anna, think about what is best for Sam.
We are all he knows.
I know for a fact you don't have enough money
to fight a custody battle.
You're right, I don't,
but I would rather sell my house than give away my son.
Your son is my son. Olivia, don't walk away from me.
-Don't walk away from me! -Get your hands off my client.
-[indistinct chatter] -[Anna sobbing]
[Anna sighs]
[instrumental music]
[sighs]
Okay.
I got this. Oh.
-You got it? -Yup. Go it.
-Anna Ramirez? -Yeah?
You've been served.
A restraining order?
Who does she think she is?
Did you get physical with her?
No, I grabbed her arm, oh, because she was pissing me off
with all that you-can-visit- your-own-baby BS.
-This has to stop. -Yeah, I know it does.
-We go to court tomorrow. -No.
You, Anna. You have to stop.
The anger, kicking your husband out, quitting your job.
Now is not the time to let your emotions get the best of you.
Did Gabe talk to you? Did he ask you to talk to me?
No! I speak for myself. I'm your mother.
Well, what kinda mother kicks her daughter
when she's already down?
Mija, you're only down there
because you won't stand up.
So that's it?
I've hit the amount of grief and anger that I'm allowed to have?
I know you've suffered pain no person should have to endure.
-But that's what women do. -Oh.
We survive.
-We don't blow up our lives. -Oh, God!
You think you know everything, you don't!
You don't know how I feel.
A terrible thing has happened to you and your friend.
But now you're acting unhinged, self-indulgent, selfish.
I didn't raise you to behave like this.
You're stronger than this.
What if I'm not?
I have faith when all of this is done,
that little boy will be in your arms.
But what kind of mother will he be coming home to?
Get yourself together before you lose everything.
[instrumental music]
[attorney] When the babies were born, they didn't look alike.
Were you surprised?
[Olivia] Twins don't always look identical.
And my mother had dark hair.
But you had to be suspicious.
I mean, looking at Sam next to Mia...
No. I-I-I wasn't.
Your argument for keeping the child is that
you've had him for longer than four months?
Did you consider getting a DNA test earlier?
[chuckles] Why would I do that?
[attorney] Because the child did not look
like you or your husband.
Had you followed up with the test earlier,
we could've avoided all of this.
[chuckles] Parents do not get DNA tests of their own children.
I mean, come on, it's unthinkable that something
like this could even happen in the first place.
Or maybe... you didn't wanna know.
You saw the baby's darker complexion
and you decided to lie to yourself.
You basically stole this child
because of your willful ignorance.
-Objection. -Sustained.
More questions and less editorializing, please.
Your Honor, until an official ruling is given,
we'd like the court to consider a motion for visitation.
We are opposing that request.
Ms. Crawford has a restraining order against Anna Ramirez.
[attorney] An order without merit
that's expiring in less than a week.
Sam has never spent time with anyone
outside of his parents. It would be detrimental.
[instrumental music]
We'll start small.
I'll grant two hours of supervised visitation
with a court monitor per week.
[music continues]
[Gabe] So what are we lookin' at?
He fell asleep ten minutes after he got here.
And I feel like she did it on purpose,
like she wanted us to have a miserable visit.
I don't think Olivia has the Jedi power of mind control.
[Anna] That social worker keeps writing in her notebook,
like she's grading me.
I think you're being paranoid.
Can't I just pick him up?
Oh, I-I see what you're saying.
It's like having a prison monitor in my own home.
Well, this is hardly a prison.
-Oh, oh, what are you doing? -Hug me.
I don't think she should know that we're separated.
Hug me. Is she looking at us?
We should look like we're a loving couple.
[Gabe] Stop, you look scary. [Anna] Hug me!
-And I look like a hug hostage. -Okay, fine. Fine.
-I'm picking him up. -No, he might wake up.
[Gabe] It's a risk I'm willing to take.
Our son.
Hold our baby.
[instrumental music]
Oh, my God.
Look at his tiny fin-fingers.
He's beautiful.
We've reached the end of our visit.
I'll be back next week at the same time.
Can we ask Olivia to change the time for the next visit
so it's not his nap time?
Of course.
[Gabe] I'll show you out.
[music continues]
[door opens]
[door shuts]
[Gabe] This has been hell for my wife and I.
What are the consequences for what Dr. Nori
and his staff have done?
Not much.
But, look, the investigation is still ongoing.
Here's what has been discovered.
[attorney] Your wife and Mrs. Crawford were scheduled
for consecutive IVF transfers on the same day.
Both embryos were ready for transfer
when the embryologist was informed
of a switch in the patient order.
[man] Last-minute change, Ramirez is up next.
[attorney] So Mrs. Crawford's embryonic fluid
was mixed into the same syringe
that was used for Mrs. Ramirez.
The Crawford embryo was accidentally loaded
into the syringe while the embryologist
was distracted.
Okay, human error, human error cost us our child.
I'm sorry, you know, I-I really wish I could tell you
you were the last couple this could happen to,
but there is no federal oversight.
No industry standard and labeling.
It's a real problem.
[instrumental music]
-Hey. -Hey, baby.
-How was your day? -Exhausting.
Is the garbage disposal making a sound?
-Yeah, um, seems fine. -Mm.
You okay?
Yeah. Yeah. All great.
You know, you can tell me if you're not.
I know.
Um...
Vanessa called me today.
She said you had questions about another meeting
with Anna and Gabe.
No, just getting more details, you know?
Now that that restraining order has lapsed.
W-why?
Because, maybe
they'll offer us visitation
if we lose custody.
Some time with our son is better than no time at all, baby.
And if this doesn't go our way...
I don't wanna lose our son forever.
[sobbing]
[Gabe] Anna and I spent most of our 20s building our careers.
Our restaurants were our children.
-Did you try IVF right away? -[Gabe] No.
We just figured it, it wasn't a big deal.
I mean, if you can't get pregnant, you do IVF,
you get pregnant automatic, you know?
-But it doesn't work that way. -No. It's very expensive.
And chances of it working past 35 aren't great.
Was she angry when she couldn't get pregnant?
She was frustrated. We both were.
-Does she gets angry often? -I wouldn't say that.
Well, didn't you have to step between her and Ms. Crawford
recently?
-Emotions were running high-- -Well, especially Anna's.
Are you aware that Ms. Crawford has a restraining order
against your wife?
It was temporary.
Didn't you have to step between
your wife and Ms. Crawford
because you were afraid that your wife
would put hands on Ms. Crawford again?
You know, I-I don't know.
Your wife is an angry woman.
That kind of anger can get volatile.
-Dangerous even. -No!
[chuckles]
Are you currently living with your wife?
What?
Did your wife kick you out of the house?
How does that matter? I don't see how that's important.
Okay, one last question, Mr. Ramirez.
Are you the biological father of this child?
No. We used a donor.
But you see him as your son? You are his father?
Absolutely.
So biology has nothing to do with being a parent?
No!
Yeah, we think so, too.
What if Anna Ramirez is unfit to be a parent?
-Objection! -Your Honor.
Who wouldn't be angry after
everything that we've suffered? Really!
-Who wouldn't be angry? -[judge] All right, all right.
-That's enough. -Just I...
Yeah, okay.
I'm requesting Ms. Ramirez meet
with a court-appointed therapist.
That's not necessary.
This isn't punitive.
I'm giving your client the opportunity
to express her emotions in a more controlled environment.
We'll take the therapist's recommendation into account
when deciding custody.
-Court is adjourned. -[gavel bangs]
[instrumental music]
I don't know what to say. I don't really believe in therapy.
[therapist] What do you believe in?
Yelling. But in a good way. I'm passionate.
-You're not angry? -I didn't say that.
Nobody dealing with infertility can say that.
You own three restaurants, you're clearly driven, smart,
used to getting what you want.
Infertility can't be controlled.
No.
That'd make me angry.
But you were able to get pregnant?
Yeah. I lost the baby.
Look, you couldn't control that either.
A miscarriage can be a profound loss.
My anger is not a bad thing all the time, you know?
It keeps me moving forward.
Makes me really good at kick-boxing.
It's a part of me. It is me now.
What if it's not?
-What if it's protecting you? -From what?
From experiencing emotions that are harder to process.
Maybe anger feels safe.
I'm just here to offer you some tools
to help navigate complicated feelings.
Was it a boy or a girl?
A boy.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
[instrumental music]
[door closes]
[Gabe] I let myself in.
I can see.
-I was worried. -I'm fine.
I wanna apologize for what happened in court.
Don't. You told the truth.
-They were twisting my words. -No, I'm not so sure they were.
[sighs] I haven't been myself for a while.
And I've been making excuses.
And I can't live like that anymore.
I don't wanna live like that anymore.
I... am so sorry
for everything that I said.
We both said a lot of things we regret this year.
Well, not just this year.
[Gabe chuckles]
You used to hug me like this on my way out the door.
Hm.
And every day I'd smell your perfume on me.
And I loved it.
I miss it.
And a thousand other little things about you.
We didn't ask for these awful things to happen to us.
And I don't know what's gonna happen in court.
All I do know is that my life...
it doesn't mean anything without you.
[instrumental music]
Please come home.
Thank you.
[Sammy cooing]
You're my big man forever, baby.
I love you so much, you'll always be mine.
I know, buddy, I know.
[sniffles]
You're always mine.
Always be my little boy. Always be my boy.

Today is our last day of testimony
and I'm confident we'll have a decision on Monday.
I believe we'll be hearing from Ms. Ramirez first.
Thank you.
You never think something like this will happen to you.
You dream about getting married and having babies,
but you never dream about IVF,
about shots and harvesting eggs,
of medical procedures and loss.
And you never, for one moment, think
the doctor's office you trust
will make a mistake like this.
You don't know how you'd react
because the concept doesn't even exist.
Mistakes like this aren't supposed to happen, but it did.
It happened to my husband and me.
And yet, people are judging my...
reactions and my emotions as if it's a window into my soul.
But it's only a window into my pain.
What would you do? How would you react?
There's nothing extraordinary
or excessive about my feelings.
I'm angry about losing four, now five months
of bonding time with my child. I won't deny it.
But I'm also heartsick.
I'm tired.
And mostly, I'm afraid.
I'm afraid that you can take my baby away forever
and I'll always be a mother without a child.
And I can't control any of it.
Not his name, not his birth,
not your opinion of me.
And I can't control whether he gets to go home in my arms
when all of this is over.
So I'll ask you again. What would you do?
How would you prove your worthiness as a parent?
Because I am worthy.
My husband is worthy.
And none of this is our fault.
Please let us take our baby home.
Do we need a recess?
[attorney] No, Your Honor.
[judge] We'll hear from Ms. Crawford next.
Thank you, Your Honor.
Um, A-Anna's right.
This isn't her fault
and it's not mine
and i-it's not Sam or Mia's fault either.
I carried the babies and gave birth to them.
And everything Brian and I have done up until this point
is to protect them.
I wanna try to give Sam a voice today.
It's his custody hearing,
but, uh, you don't know much about him.
He, uh...
He-he's so curious about the world
and his sister and us and...
He just wants to stay awake all the time and explore it.
And he's quite vocal.
Even at 2:00 in the morning, he...
we have long talks, he and I.
And every time I place him on the floor next to Mia...
he always finds her hand...
like it's an extension of his own.
I don't know what he would do without her.
And-and Sam, he...
he said his first word.
He said "Ma."
And he said that word to me.
Sam would be scared without me.
He cries every time I put him down or leave the room.
He doesn't know about DNA.
He only knows that I am the person
who keeps him safe in this world.
He only knows that I am his mother.
[whispering] I love you. It's gonna be okay.
[instrumental music]
[sobbing]
I-I can't. What if I don't see him again?
-What if they take him away? -Stop. Stop.
[sobbing]
[music continues]
[Olivia] You see your sister and grandpa? Yeah.
-There they are. Hi, Mia. -Oh, boy.
You wanna say hi? Yeah.
Oh, there she is. Yeah, you've got her.
A foot... He's got a little foot tap there.
Oh, the littlest feet in the world.
[mumbling]
Hi, guys.
[mumbling]
-Okay, I hate to be a hog. Hi! -Okay. Oh, oh, look who's here.
-Hi. But I'm stealing you. -Oh...
-My Mia. -You need some daddy time?
-You need daddy? -Yeah, come on, daddy.
Oh, no, bubba. Who's your daddy?
♪ Shout shout let it all out ♪
[chuckles] How are you?
Well, I've been better, you know?
I just, I wish mom were here.
I wish she could tell me if I'm doing this right.
Your mom would be so proud of you.
Now, a mother fights.
You're doin' it right.
That's my baby girl.
-I wanna go see my grandbabies. -Yeah, they're yummy.
-Hey. -Go get 'em.
[Lily] Hi, grandpa.
[indistinct chatter]
[instrumental music]
This was a difficult decision.
Even with the expedited process, there is now
a five-month-old child to consider.
Limited-case law favors the biological parent,
but nothing is set in stone.
We must consider the length of time
the child has been living with the Crawford's
in deciding who the legal parents are.
[sighs] There are no winners here.
Two families have been torn apart.
After reviewing all of the testimony...
I rule in favor of the plaintiffs.
[Anna gasping]
[Gabe] Anna.
[whispering] Thank you.
Your Honor, we are requesting
mandatory visitation.
Olivia and Brian Crawford will not receive
court-mandated visitation.
It's time to give Sam and his biological family some peace
and to give yourselves the time you need to heal.
[instrumental music]
Hi, sweetheart.
[Sammy crying]
It's okay. It's gonna be okay, I promise.
It's okay.
[shushing]
[Sammy crying]
[indistinct chatter]
-[Anna chuckles] -There he is.
[Gabe laughing]
-Hi. Oh, no, no, no... -[Sammy bawling]
[Anna] Oh, no, no, no...
I know, I know, I know... Oh, look.
-Look, look, look. Oh! -Yeah, he likes that.
-Hi. Hi. -Come here, come here, come...
-No. -It's all good.
[water sloshing]
-Oh. Hi, baby. -Hi, baby.
I put your lunch right there.
Oh, yes, this I will not be needing today.
I think you and me, we're going to lunch.
-Take the day off. -What? Why?
Yeah, I don't know, I just think
we should spend some time together.
What? Why?
-Are you sick? -No. No, I'm not sick.
I just wanna spend some time with you, talk about our future.
Uh... okay, but, you know,
talking isn't exactly your favorite thing to do.
I know. Come here.
What would you say
if I was home every weekend?
[gasps] Oh, my God! Did you lose your job?
No! Babe, no.
Quite the opposite. I think I got a new one.
Amazing, I'll be home every weekend.
[indistinct yelling]
God, I'm so happy for you.
Brian, this is wonderful.
Well, thank you, baby. I know, I know.
I did it for us, but the most important thing is
I want my life to be about you and Mia
and... and maybe our future children.
Really? You've been thinkin' about future kids?
Mm-hmm. Yeah. A lot.
And this new job,
it's got comprehensive health insurance.
-Oh, you know how to turn me on. -Mm...
Say it again.
Comprehensive health insurance.
[instrumental music]
[Sammy bawling]
Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay.
I'm sorry, baby.
-[Sammy bawling] -Baby, what's the matter?
Tell me.
Okay.
[groans] Ah!
[Sammy bawling]
Okay, okay, I'm sorry.
-[Sammy bawling] -I'm sorry.
[doorbell rings]
One sec.
[Sammy crying]
Hi! Hi, what are you doin' here?
He cries for you. He cries just all the time.
And then when he falls asleep, I'm afraid to put him down
because I'm afraid he's gonna wake up,
and I'm scared I don't know what I'm doing.
Come here, come here.
[Sammy bawling]
Hi. Hi, Sammy.
Uh, sometimes it helps to sing that song Shout.
-You know that... -No.
♪ Shout shout ♪
♪ Let it all out ♪
♪ These are the things I can do without come on ♪
-Really? It's working. -Every time.

[instrumental music]
Oh.
[indistinct chatter]
Yes, look at this.
[laughing]
[Olivia] Oh, yeah. There you go.
[kids squealing]
[indistinct chatter]
You wanna go see Uncle Bernie? Go see Uncle Bernie.
Oh, my... Look, there are just way too many presents here.
Look at all this. Hi, how are you?
Well, the kids only have their first birthday once.
Oh, Gabe got these, uh, banana cupcakes made.
All natural ingredients.
No sugar added. They're pretty amazing.
This whole thing is pretty amazing.
-Are you kidding? -Thank you.
Gabe, look at this. I mean, come on.
-He made a lot of this. Yup. -You did?
-Mm! -Gabe, what are you doing?
What? The kids can't even count.
They don't know what date it-it is today.
They're supposed to be for them.
Well, you should try it. It's delicious.
-No, I don't want it. -[Pete] Hey, hey, hey.
Picture, picture, picture.
Everyone get in together.
All right. On three.
One, two, three.
[all] Babies!
-[Gabe laughing] -Thank you, dad.
I'mma go get some more drinks. I'll be back. Come on.
I love these cupcakes.
-You know what I love? -Hm?
-A happy ending. -Aww...
-You look beautiful. -Thank you.
-Can I tell you something? -Yes.
We really want a cupcake.
[indistinct chatter]
Now that I'm eating for two again, that's two cupcakes.
[instrumental music]
Yes, cupcakes for everyone.
