00:00:26Her body's having trouble creating oxygen in her blood.

00:04:51mr chapman
00:05:13you all right
00:05:16never better
00:05:17let's talk about my favorite part of business
00:05:22the customer
00:05:23there is no more important relationship than the one that you share with your customer
00:05:28how do you gain the trust of a customer
00:05:31honesty
00:05:34brand loyalty is a two-way street
00:05:40they give us our business and in return we provide a consistent positive experience
00:05:44but they're not always with us
00:05:47so the question remains
00:05:49how do we show that we care
00:05:51from afar
00:05:52consistent communication
00:05:55are you kidding me
00:05:57this is a safe place for discussion
00:06:04actually you know what i think we could all benefit from a healthy debate
00:06:09anna was it would you mind coming up here please
00:06:12not at all
00:06:14so
00:06:20you disagree with my thesis
00:06:22well no
00:06:22i think communicating with your customers regularly is essential
00:06:26oh well that was a short
00:06:28but i do believe that your love for your customers is
00:06:31disingenuous
00:06:33disingenuous
00:06:35it means insincere
00:06:36i know what it means
00:06:37i'll have you know my love for customers is not only built on honesty
00:06:40but genuine compassion
00:06:41yeah
00:06:41a weekly meme filled newsletter always makes me feel loved
00:06:45well it seems to work for my company
00:06:47we've seen an exponential increase in first-time users this past quarter
00:06:50what about your long-term users
00:06:51what do you do to maintain your customers who have supported you for years
00:06:55you know you're great at reaching out to customers and inserting yourself in their lives
00:07:00but what about when they try to contact you
00:07:03i think any loyal customer will find my company very easy to reach
00:07:08this is your customer service line
00:07:11i've been on hold for almost five minutes and i still haven't spoken to a single human being
00:07:16is that how you show you care
00:07:18you know growth doesn't mean anything when you abandon the people who got you there
00:07:28i think that's a fair point
00:07:33very well
00:07:35argued
00:07:36and exactly
00:07:39the kind of well-researched and confident points
00:07:41that i like to see in the boardroom
00:07:42let's give it up for anna
00:07:43all right i think we all learned something today

00:11:32it's okay to take a little help from the millionaire
00:11:36this is not about money
00:11:37this is about whether or not james can actually commit to something
00:11:40you know i can't even imagine james getting through one round of candy land with olivia
00:11:44it's it's not worth the trouble
00:11:46i can't risk her getting really close to him

00:13:27hmm
00:13:41hmm
00:13:57Thank you, again, for the extra shifts.
00:14:02You know, the restaurant's really been cutting my hours
00:14:04this month.
00:14:05Anything I can do at the bakery would be a huge help.
00:14:27How was your day?
00:14:30Huge debate about Peppa Pig vs. Bluey today.
00:14:33I was the moderator.
00:14:35God, sometimes I miss being six.
00:14:37So nice.
00:14:39That's my girl.
00:14:42All right.
00:14:43What do you want to do today?
00:14:46We could go to the library.
00:14:50We could race to some ice cream.
00:14:52I'm too tired.
00:14:53You're too tired? For ice cream?
00:14:55Usually you're bouncing off the walls after playgroup.
00:15:01And you're feeling a little bit warm.
00:15:04Okay, let's go home, yeah?
00:15:06Let's get ice cream on the couch.
00:15:09Mom, who's that man watching us?
00:15:14Um, you know what?
00:15:16I think it was one of my classmates, okay?
00:15:18Let's not worry about it.
00:15:19Let's go home.
00:15:25All right, and remember to study for your exam on Wednesday.
00:15:29Good work today.
00:15:31Hey, Leanna, can you hang back for a second?
00:15:34Won't your fiancé be waiting for you?
00:15:38I have an opportunity for you.
00:15:41Is this a kind of joke?
00:15:42It's not a joke.
00:15:43I really don't have time to be made fun of right now.
00:15:45Will you let me talk for a second?
00:15:48So, a friend in New York owes me a favor and said they could hook you up with a job.
00:15:52Just some basic data entry stuff, and you could even do it remotely.
00:15:56Oh, wow, that's very sweet.
00:15:59Where is this coming from?
00:16:00I know your secret.
00:16:03How do you know?
00:16:04Wait, what are you?
00:16:05What?
00:16:06I know you're working multiple jobs.
00:16:07Your professor told me.
00:16:09Professor Lyndon told you about the bakery.
00:16:12And the nannying, the restaurant.
00:16:13Nannying?
00:16:14The girl you're taking care of?
00:16:16Wait.
00:16:17Were you following me yesterday?
00:16:19What? No, I just...
00:16:20Oh, my God!
00:16:21I just don't think you've been very open with me.
00:16:23Being open with you? What do you mean?
00:16:24You want me to give you all this information so you pity me?
00:16:26I'm not trying to pity you.
00:16:27I just want to help.
00:16:29I don't want your help.
00:16:31Why do you have to be so stubborn?
00:16:32I'm not being stubborn.
00:16:33I don't want any handouts.
00:16:34I don't want to have to owe you anything.
00:16:35Okay, have you considered that maybe I'm not trying to screw you over?
00:16:38That maybe, just maybe, I'm a good person?
00:16:40Oh, you're a good person?
00:16:42No, no, no.
00:16:43You just feel guilty about the way that you left me.
00:16:45Oh, my God, Anna.
00:16:46Which is it?
00:16:47That I abandoned you when you needed help?
00:16:49Or that you never want any help from me for the rest of your life?
00:16:51Because you can't have both.
00:16:52I never want to see you again.
00:16:58James?
00:16:59Shit, I don't know what to do.
00:17:00I won't have a call.
00:17:01What? What is going on?
00:17:02What? What?
00:17:03I need to go to the hospital right now.
00:17:05Okay, I'll take you.
00:17:11Anna, wait up.
00:17:13What is going on?
00:17:14I will tell you later.
00:17:15You don't think I deserve any kind of explanation?
00:17:16James, you are the last thing on my mind right now.
00:17:18Is it your mom?
00:17:19Will you just shut up?
00:17:20For two seconds.
00:17:21Right.
00:17:22Yeah, sorry.
00:17:23Hi.
00:17:24I'm Anna Johnson.
00:17:25I'm here for Olivia Johnson.
00:17:26What room is she in?
00:17:27Sure, let me take a look.
00:17:29512.
00:17:30Okay, thank you.
00:17:31Johnson?
00:17:32Do you have a sister I don't know about?
00:17:33She's my daughter.
00:17:44What happened?
00:17:45Tell me everything.
00:17:46A kid pushed her on the playground.
00:17:47Not even that hard.
00:17:48And it left this huge bruise.
00:17:50Then I filled her forehead and she was burning up.
00:17:53Oh God.
00:17:55Why didn't I check my phone?
00:17:56I had my phone with me.
00:17:57I don't know why I didn't check it.
00:17:58Hey, this isn't your fault.
00:18:00None of this is your fault.
00:18:02All that matters is you're here now.
00:18:05Mom?
00:18:06Hi.
00:18:07Honey.
00:18:08It's okay, alright?
00:18:09I'm here now.
00:18:10Everything's gonna be fine.
00:18:11The doctor's gonna get you all better.
00:18:12Mom?
00:18:13Who's that?
00:18:15Oh, uh, hi.
00:18:16I'm James.
00:18:17I'm in front of your mom's.
00:18:18So then, why didn't you just come and say hi yesterday?
00:18:22Why were you hiding behind that tree?
00:18:25Olivia?
00:18:26Hi, I'm Dr. Sherman.
00:18:27I'll be helping you feel better today.
00:18:29So we got some fever and fainting.
00:18:31There were also some chest pains on the way over here.
00:18:34Aw.
00:18:35Am I gonna die?
00:18:36No.
00:18:37Honey.
00:18:38No.
00:18:39You're not gonna die.
00:18:40That is why we're here, okay?
00:18:41Mm-hmm.
00:18:42We've already got her on some acetaminophen, just to bring the fever down.
00:18:46But I'd like to do more tests.
00:18:48I'll need her full medical history and the history of both parents.
00:18:51Oh no, I'm not the father.
00:18:53Oh, my apologies.
00:18:54Do you have the father's full medical history?
00:18:56Uh.
00:18:59Yes.
00:19:00I can contact the father, um, later today.
00:19:04Perfect.
00:19:05I'll be back to check on Olivia in a bit.
00:19:07Okay.
00:19:10Anna, can I talk to you in the hallway for a second?
00:19:13Not now, Becca.
00:19:14Yes.
00:19:15Now.
00:19:16Or would you prefer we have this discussion in front of everyone?
00:19:19Let's go inside.
00:19:26So, are you, like, obsessed with my mom or what?
00:19:30What was that?
00:19:31I don't know.
00:19:32I panicked.
00:19:33I'm gonna figure out his medical history somehow.
00:19:35Anna, this is your daughter.
00:19:37We don't have time to wait for you to figure out how you feel about James.
00:19:40Either you tell him the truth right now, or I will.
00:19:48You're right.
00:19:49I have to do this.
00:19:52Shit.
00:19:53It's gonna ruin everything.
00:19:54No.
00:19:57You're going to make things right.
00:20:01Favorite pizza topic?
00:20:02Uh, pepperoni.
00:20:04A classic.
00:20:05Favorite dog breed?
00:20:06Golden retriever.
00:20:07We are really not going for creativity, are we?
00:20:13Hey, Olivia, how old are you?
00:20:15Um, um, James?
00:20:17Could I speak with you outside for a second?
00:20:19Is everything okay?
00:20:21Um...
00:20:23Do you want to go get some lunch first?
00:20:25Yeah, please.
00:20:27Tell me.
00:20:28James.
00:20:31You're the father.
00:20:37Yeah.
00:20:38I know.
00:20:39I found out two weeks after you and I broke up.
00:20:40But because of the way we ended things, I just decided to raise Olivia on my own.
00:20:46What about your parents?
00:20:47Oh, they kicked me out of the house.
00:20:48You know, the Bible hates teenage pregnancies.
00:20:50Who knew?
00:20:51Anna.
00:20:52Yeah, I know.
00:20:53It's okay.
00:20:54It was fine.
00:20:55My mom's best friend, well, now ex-best friend, Becca, she took me in.
00:20:57And she made me go back for college.
00:20:58And I've just been juggling all this ever since.
00:21:02I can't believe that you would be so selfish.
00:21:05Excuse me?
00:21:06I had every right to know about my kid.
00:21:09I don't care whatever post-breakup teenage angst you were dealing with.
00:21:13That is my fucking kid.
00:21:15I do not have the time to deal with your bullshit.
00:21:18I'm gonna go talk to the doctor.
00:21:19You're not without me or not.
00:21:27Anna, your friend Becca already submitted your family's complete medical history.
00:21:31Oh.
00:21:32Wow.
00:21:33Okay.
00:21:34As for you, James, can you tell me anything about your family?
00:21:36Is there a history of cancer, lung disease, blood disease?
00:21:39Uh, my aunt had breast cancer a while back.
00:21:42And my grandma had anemia and thalassemia.
00:21:47Okay, so what can we do next?
00:21:48We're just gonna have to run more tests.
00:21:50Do whatever you need to do.
00:21:51I'll pay for all of it.
00:21:52Money's not an issue.
00:21:53James, no.
00:21:54I can cover this.
00:21:55Jesus, Anna, be serious.
00:21:56Do you have any idea how expensive medical procedures can be?
00:21:58Oh, I'm so sorry.
00:21:59Are hospital bills expensive?
00:22:01I really had no idea.
00:22:02Thank you so much for enlightening my dumb little brain.
00:22:04Don't put words in my mouth.
00:22:05Don't talk down to me.
00:22:06What's important here is Olivia's well-being.
00:22:09Both physically and emotionally.
00:22:11This is a scary time.
00:22:13It's important that we all put up a strong united front.
00:22:16Can you do that?
00:22:27So, how are we gonna tell Olivia?
00:22:29Whoa!
00:22:30Wait, whoa.
00:22:31We're not telling Olivia anything until she's older.
00:22:33Why wait?
00:22:34She's probably dreamed of having a father her whole life.
00:22:36She's been doing just fine without one.
00:22:40And you know what the last thing Olivia needs is?
00:22:42Is to get really close to someone who's just gonna flake on her when she needs him the most.
00:22:46How do I know I can trust you?
00:22:51Because I'm here.
00:22:53You told me everything I need to know.
00:22:56And I'm still here.
00:22:57What about your fiance?
00:22:59She'll understand how important this is to me.
00:23:04Because once we do this,
00:23:06once I tell her,
00:23:09there's no going back.
00:23:11Are you sure that you can handle this?
00:23:18I've hung out with her for five minutes.
00:23:20I can already tell she's a great kid.
00:23:23I promise.
00:23:24I will do whatever it takes to give her the best life possible.
00:23:38Olivia,
00:23:39I have something to tell you, okay?
00:23:43Uh,
00:23:44James is not just my friend.
00:23:46He is also ear fogger.
00:23:49Oh my God.
00:23:50This is amazing!
00:23:52Um, yeah.
00:23:54I have so much to catch you up on.
00:23:56Do you read?
00:23:57Because I have a lot of recommendations.
00:24:00Well, I can't wait to hear them.
00:24:02You know, I have a feeling you're my dad.
00:24:04When I was asking all these questions,
00:24:05you were scratching your ear.
00:24:07And I do that too!
00:24:09I'm nervous!
00:24:10Do Grandma and Grandpa do that?
00:24:11Do Grandma and Grandpa even want to be called Grandma and Grandpa?
00:24:14Maybe Gigi and Papa?
00:24:16Oh, this is so surreal.
00:24:17She looks so happy.
00:24:19Isn't it nice to stop keeping secrets for once?
00:24:24I guess you're right.
00:24:25James!
00:24:26Astrich?
00:24:27How did you find me?
00:24:31Well, you were an hour late to lunch.
00:24:34I thought to check the location and it said you were in the hospital.
00:24:38I was worried sick.
00:24:39I'm sorry, everything happened so fast.
00:24:42You could have been dead.
00:24:44I'm sorry.
00:24:45I had to take Anna to the hospital.
00:24:47We had to make sure Olivia was okay.
00:24:49Olivia, who's...
00:24:50Hi.
00:24:53Hello.
00:24:54Hello.
00:24:56Wow.
00:24:58Friendly.
00:24:59I guess we found a new babysitter.
00:25:04Well, now that this one's all happy,
00:25:07maybe, uh, shouldn't we be going?
00:25:11Um, listen, you can head out whenever, but I need to stick around.
00:25:16Um, James, don't you think you're kind of intruding on family time?
00:25:22I should...
00:25:24Can we talk outside?
00:25:28A child, James?
00:25:32You have a child?
00:25:34Astrich, I'm sorry.
00:25:35I just found out today.
00:25:36I was going to tell you later tonight.
00:25:37Oh, yeah.
00:25:38I'm sure you would have.
00:25:39It's a lot to process, I know.
00:25:40I mean...
00:25:42I'm still processing it myself.
00:25:44Oh, my God.
00:25:45This cannot be happening.
00:25:47It's not going to be easy.
00:25:50But she's a really special kid.
00:25:53Let me guess.
00:25:55You're paying for everything?
00:25:58I offered.
00:25:59Oh, my God.
00:26:00You are so gullible.
00:26:01It's embarrassing.
00:26:03What are you talking about?
00:26:04So the woman who broke up with you in high school all of a sudden needs a ton of money for a sick kid days after she finds out you're a millionaire.
00:26:15Don't you think this is a little convenient?
00:26:17Anna wouldn't do that.
00:26:18How do you know, James?
00:26:19I mean, you knew her in high school.
00:26:32You don't know what kind of person she is now.
00:26:34I can't believe you would say this.
00:26:36My child is sick.
00:26:37Your child.
00:26:42Wasn't she with someone else when you two were together?
00:26:44I mean, how do you even know she's yours?
00:26:47She's yours.
00:26:59Dad, do you want to join us?
00:27:00We just started a new game.
00:27:01An hour now, Olivia.
00:27:02Anna, can I see you outside?
00:27:12Well?
00:27:13She likes to see you.
00:27:14Anna, I...
00:27:16Oh, really?
00:27:17Yeah.
00:27:18Well, actually, what she said is she thinks you're smart, which for her is the highest praise you could receive.
00:27:21Well, I'm honored.
00:27:22But, um...
00:27:23But what?
00:27:24Running away from us already?
00:27:26James?
00:27:27I think we need to take a paternity test.
00:27:41Are you kidding me?
00:27:42I just think we need to make sure, especially if medical histories are going to be a factor.
00:27:45Oh my god!
00:27:46Oh my god, I knew you were going to do this.
00:27:47Of course you're doing this.
00:27:48I just think logically.
00:27:49Logically?
00:27:50No, logically, you would not have waited until after you told my...
00:27:53our kid before you started pulling this shit.
00:27:56I'm not pulling anything.
00:27:57I just think it's all a little...
00:27:58A little what?
00:27:59No, no, a little what?
00:28:00Suspicious?
00:28:01Do you think I'm lying to you for some free blood tests?
00:28:03Who else would it fucking be?
00:28:04I don't know how many losers from our hometown you used to spend your little nights with,
00:28:07Anna, but maybe none of them run a corporation.
00:28:10You're disgusting.
00:28:12You know, the only reason I told you any of this was for the well-being of my daughter?
00:28:17I do not want your money.
00:28:18I will take care of this like I take care of everything else.
00:28:21No, take your stupid test.
00:28:22I don't care.
00:28:51Dr. Sherman.
00:28:52I'm the father, aren't I?
00:28:53Anna.
00:28:54Jesus, James!
00:28:55What are you doing here?
00:28:56I went to the hospital, but they said...
00:28:57Yeah, they cleared us to go home, so we went home.
00:29:12She's such an asshole.
00:29:13So you got the results back, huh?
00:29:17I'm sorry I even questioned it.
00:29:19I...
00:29:20With everything you're going through, I'm...
00:29:23I'm sorry.
00:29:25Yeah, well, if Olivia's happy, I'm happy.
00:29:30I...
00:29:31I'm so happy to be here, Dad.
00:29:34I really am.
00:29:36And...
00:29:37I promise...
00:29:39I will be as much of a part of her life as you want me to be.
00:29:43What's wrong?
00:29:44Wait, stop.
00:29:45I don't know.
00:29:46I don't know what's happening.
00:29:47I'm sorry.
00:29:48I think it's just been...
00:29:49A lot.
00:29:50I know.
00:29:51It's getting late, James.
00:29:52I think you should go home.
00:29:53I don't know what's happening.
00:29:54I don't know what's happening.
00:29:55I don't know what's happening.
00:29:56I'm sorry.
00:29:57I think it's just been...
00:29:58A lot.
00:30:00I know.
00:30:09It's getting late, James.
00:30:10I think you should go home.
00:30:23Oh, God.
00:30:37James won't stop texting me about spending a day with Olivia.
00:30:41This time his excuse was it would give me time to focus.
00:30:44Not studying.
00:30:45Wouldn't it?
00:30:46Well, of course it would.
00:30:47But I'm not gonna cart Olivia off to...
00:30:48Her father?
00:30:49Anna.
00:30:50Anna.
00:30:51Sweetie, it's been weeks.
00:30:53He's obviously sticking around.
00:30:55Come on.
00:30:56When was the last time you took any time off?
00:31:02I mean, I guess you're right.
00:31:06Okay, fine.
00:31:08Fine.
00:31:09You win.
00:31:15She loves Candyland.
00:31:17Or should we teach her Monopoly?
00:31:19Is Monopoly too mean of a game?
00:31:22What about...
00:31:23Solitaire?
00:31:27What?
00:31:28I'm kidding.
00:31:30Thank you for being so supportive with all this.
00:31:32I know it's been a lot, but...
00:31:35I really think Olivia's gonna love our new home.
00:31:38Yeah, I'm...
00:31:39Surprised you actually committed to buying this place.
00:31:42It's such a...
00:31:44podunk town.
00:31:45Why?
00:31:47Well...
00:31:48Sweetie...
00:31:50New York City's our home.
00:31:51This is...
00:31:53Just a...
00:31:54Place for you to...
00:31:55Play dad.
00:31:56Couple times a year.
00:31:57This is not a part-time thing, Astrid.
00:32:00I fully intend to be a part of Olivia's life.
00:32:05Oh, James.
00:32:06I love you, but you are...
00:32:09Not dad material.
00:32:12You're gonna get sick of this in like...
00:32:14A couple hours.
00:32:15She's my daughter, Astrid.
00:32:17I'm not going anywhere.
00:32:21It's really important to me...
00:32:23That you try to connect with her.
00:32:25You will try, won't you?
00:32:26Mm-hmm.
00:32:32So it's a magical school where your powers come from what instruments you play.
00:32:36The violinists are the popular kids.
00:32:39But Julie, our protagonist...
00:32:41She's an orphan, by the way.
00:32:43She plays the oboe.
00:32:45Huh.
00:32:48Hey, how about...
00:32:50Music?
00:32:51Do you like music?
00:32:53I bet you're a Swifty.
00:32:56Favorite era?
00:32:58Favorite what?
00:33:05Okay, so.
00:33:06These are for the morning.
00:33:07Before any food.
00:33:09This is once every four hours if she mentions any pain.
00:33:12Got it.
00:33:13And what about these?
00:33:14This is for the evening.
00:33:15Okay?
00:33:16Um, with food.
00:33:19Wait, wait, wait.
00:33:20Hang on.
00:33:24No.
00:33:25This is in the morning before food.
00:33:26This is...
00:33:27What is happening?
00:33:28I literally labeled these so that I could organize them and I think that they're all messed up.
00:33:31And it's...
00:33:32It's okay.
00:33:33No, it's actually not okay because I actually can't mess this up.
00:33:36It's just like so much.
00:33:38I know, I know.
00:33:39Hey.
00:33:40Take a breather.
00:33:41Okay?
00:33:42If we can...
00:33:43Sweat these out in a minute.
00:33:44You're doing great.
00:33:45I'm sorry.
00:33:46It's just been so non-stop.
00:33:47I know.
00:33:48Olivia's so lucky to have you.
00:33:51I'm sorry.
00:33:52It's just been so non-stop.
00:33:53I know.
00:33:54Olivia's so lucky to have you.

00:43:41it is looking like a rare blood disease called thalassemia

00:48:21someone actually bore through time
00:48:35oh my god
00:48:38i cannot believe she lied to me like that
00:48:39i know she never liked me in the first place but
00:48:42this is next level
00:48:44and she went through all of that just to kick me out of the house like a month later
00:48:49i can't believe she would do that to me
00:48:51i can't believe i would be so stupid
00:48:53hey trusting your mother as a child is not stupid
00:48:58but it ruined everything
00:49:00maybe it didn't
00:49:02oh no james james come on
00:49:04i think this is probably a bad idea
00:49:07maybe it is but
00:49:09there's clearly a connection between us
00:49:12we owe it to ourselves to try again
00:49:15but what about
00:49:19exactly
00:49:20i mean what's stopping us
00:49:22your fiance
00:49:23ex-fiance
00:49:25who dumped me partially because of her fear of olivia
00:49:29but mostly
00:49:32because of the way i look at you
00:49:33yeah
00:49:34but what about
00:49:35the cheating
00:49:36that didn't happen
00:49:41you are my professor
00:49:42for the semester
00:49:47well then
00:49:51i guess i have no more excuses
00:49:57good
00:49:57but
00:50:00we're gonna have to be
00:50:05really
00:50:07thoughtful about this
00:50:10definitely
00:50:11yeah of course
00:50:14we're gonna take this really
00:50:18slowly
00:50:18right
00:50:20right
00:50:22like
00:50:24a snail's bait
00:50:27well i'll follow your lead
00:50:31step
00:50:33by
00:50:35step
00:50:45nice
00:51:09and
00:51:1112
00:51:11Oh, my God, James.
00:51:41Did you bring a...
00:51:43It's your phone.
00:51:48So let me get this doctor.
00:51:53I hope I wasn't interrupting anything.
00:51:56No, nothing.
00:51:58Not at all.
00:51:59Is everything okay?
00:52:01The transfusion was successful, but it's not enough.
00:52:04She'll have to keep getting them unless we treat the root cause of the problem.
00:52:08Anything would be better than having an 8-year-old go back and forth from the hospital again and again.
00:52:12Exactly.
00:52:14If you want, I can put her on a waiting list for a stem cell transplant,
00:52:18which should eliminate any more future transfusions.
00:52:21That would be incredible. How long is the wait?
00:52:22Another 10 months to a year.
00:52:24Jesus, that long?
00:52:25Finding a donor to match takes a lot of time.
00:52:28Our best shot at finding anybody quickly is to receive a donation from a family member.
00:52:33So, this is the kitchen, in case you forgot.
00:52:43I know where the kitchen is, Becca.
00:52:46Just wanted to check since it seems like you've been at James' every night for the past month.
00:52:50It's been that long?
00:52:52Wow, I don't even know what day of the week it is.
00:52:54Has the hospital called?
00:52:56Did you get the results back?
00:52:57Not yet.
00:52:58James really wants to be the one to do it, but I got tested too, of course.
00:53:04I really hope one of us is a match.
00:53:06I don't know what we're going to do if we're not.
00:53:08It's going to work.
00:53:10And Olivia will be out of the hospital in no time.
00:53:16I don't know how I could do any of this without you.
00:53:19You're going to make me cry.
00:53:25Let's eat.
00:53:27Come on.
00:53:29A lot of pickles in here.
00:53:32And watermelon?
00:53:34Yeah, I don't know.
00:53:35My diet's been really off lately.
00:53:36I've just been craving a lot of pickles and watermelon.
00:53:39It's kind of weird, right?
00:53:41Sweetie.
00:53:47Could the timing be any worse?
00:53:48You know, maybe there's a chance you're not pregnant.
00:53:51Maybe it's just stress that's making you buy four bags of triple sour gummy worms.
00:53:57Jesus, Anna.
00:53:58Olivia's going to be really excited.
00:53:59She's always wanted a sibling.
00:54:01And at least this time you won't be raising them by yourself.
00:54:04You'll have James.
00:54:04Oh, shit.
00:54:05What am I going to tell James?
00:54:06James is crazy about you.
00:54:09He'll support you no matter what.
00:54:10Are you sure about that?
00:54:12We just now found a sense of normalcy.
00:54:14Now all this new shit's happening.
00:54:16Honestly, I can't take on anything else.
00:54:18It's positive.
00:54:25Well, aren't you two just a recipe for fertility?
00:54:34Here we go.
00:54:35Okay.
00:54:36All right.
00:54:36I'm not peeking.
00:54:37I'm not peeking.
00:54:38All right.
00:54:39You ready?
00:54:40Yes.
00:54:40Oh, James.
00:54:46This is very sweet.
00:54:48It's been three months since you came back into my life.
00:54:51I want to celebrate.
00:54:53Okay.
00:54:54I actually have something I really want to talk to you about, too.
00:54:56So.
00:54:57All right.
00:54:58A little wine for the lady?
00:54:59Oh, no.
00:55:03Okay.
00:55:04Um, well, I did get some of your favorite sushi.
00:55:07Yeah, I can't have any of that either.
00:55:10Can't.
00:55:12Um, okay.
00:55:13I can whip us up a little charcuterie gourd.
00:55:15James, stop.
00:55:16I'm pregnant.
00:55:33I don't know what to say.
00:55:35Right.
00:55:35Of course.
00:55:35Because this was so unplanned.
00:55:37I know.
00:55:37And it's really okay if you don't want to be a part of it at all.
00:55:40It's completely fine.
00:55:40Well, so is that a goodbye forever kiss or?
00:55:47Anna, I'm not going anywhere.
00:56:00A little brother or sister?
00:56:02This is the best day of my life.
00:56:04Just wait till the baby gets here.
00:56:06I'm going to be the best big sister in the world.
00:56:09I promise.
00:56:09I know you will, honey.
00:56:12I'm not going to be one of those bossy big sisters.
00:56:14This baby is going to be my best friend.
00:56:17I'm going to read them all my favorite books.
00:56:19It's going to be perfect.
00:56:21Sorry to interrupt.
00:56:22James, Anna, may I see you in the hall for a moment?
00:56:29We got your results back for the stem cell transplant.
00:56:33Neither of you can donate.
00:56:36Oh, okay.
00:56:37Well, we're her parents.
00:56:38So genetically, one of us must be a match.
00:56:40Well, technically, Anna is a match.
00:56:42Then what's the problem?
00:56:43Performing this procedure while you're pregnant would be dangerous to both you and the baby.
00:56:46I can't recommend it.
00:56:48Okay, well, what are our options?
00:56:49I mean, wait on the wait list for years?
00:56:51Since Anna is a match, our best bet is to do testing on relatives.
00:56:55Do you have any siblings?
00:56:56None.
00:56:57Could you reach out to your parents?
00:56:58No.
00:57:06There's, there's, there's no way that I'm talking to my parents.
00:57:11Look, I know this is hard for you, but...
00:57:12But what?
00:57:13I can't go to the woman who, at 17 years old, kicked me out of my own house, and the man who just stood there and watched it all happen.
00:57:20Think about Olivia.
00:57:21I am thinking about Olivia.
00:57:24I'm always thinking about Olivia.
00:57:27Olivia is everything that's good in this world.
00:57:31I don't want my parents anywhere near her.
00:57:34I don't want my parents anywhere near any of my children.
00:57:38Listen, you know I'm not a fan of your parents either.
00:57:42But we can't let our baggage get in the way of our daughter's treatment.
00:57:45I just can't believe that, after everything that they've done, I'm going to have to come crawling back to them and ask them for something.
00:58:02But you won't have to do it alone.
00:58:05I'll be by your side the whole time.
00:58:08Okay?
00:58:08Okay?
00:58:15You ready?
00:58:23No.
00:58:24It's okay.
00:58:25We can wait.
00:58:29What did Becca say when you told her you were coming here?
00:58:32Oh, God, I didn't tell her anything.
00:58:34Yeah, if she knew we were coming here, she'd probably spray paint the word traitor on the front door.
00:58:38Fair.
00:58:42Maybe we'll take a few steps to the door?
00:58:44Right, yeah, okay.
00:58:46Okay.
00:58:52Hannah.
00:58:53Oh, you meant, like, right away?
00:58:55I know.
00:58:57You're the strongest person I know.
00:58:59If anybody can handle this, it's you.
00:59:01What if they say no?
00:59:03And when have you ever turned down a debate?
00:59:06Okay.
00:59:07You're right about that.
00:59:08Okay, let's do this.
00:59:09Okay.
00:59:14There's a car in the driveway.
00:59:28Yeah, they must be home.
00:59:31Hello?
00:59:33Hello?
00:59:35Maybe they went for a walk or something?
00:59:37I know you're in there.
00:59:44Maybe we should just go.
00:59:45No.
00:59:45Do you know what?
00:59:46I'm so sick of doing everything on her terms.
00:59:49You ruined my life!
00:59:50I hope that you know that!
00:59:54I could have gone to college on time with everybody else.
00:59:58I could have had the support to get a good job and provide for my daughter, but I couldn't.
01:00:03I couldn't do any of that because I couldn't fit into whatever stupid vision you had for me.
01:00:08Actually, no.
01:00:12No, you know what?
01:00:13I did.
01:00:14I did fit into the mold.
01:00:15I did every single AP class, every single after-school activity, and every community service event.
01:00:21I was such a good daughter, and I loved you so much.
01:00:29But I guess you didn't know how to love me back.
01:00:32Excuse me.
01:00:46If you don't leave, I'm going to call the police.
01:00:49What?
01:00:49That won't be necessary.
01:00:50This is a misunderstanding.
01:00:51We're very sorry.
01:00:52No, but the Johnsons live here and my parents live here.
01:00:54Okay, Anna, we clearly have the wrong house.
01:00:56We're very sorry.
01:00:57Come on, let's go.
01:00:57I think I don't own my own house.
01:00:59I'm so sorry.
01:00:59Can you please help us?
01:01:00Um, are you renting a room from them or something?
01:01:03No.
01:01:05I've lived here for the past six years.
01:01:09Six years?
01:01:11Parents sold the house six years ago?
01:01:12They didn't tell me?
01:01:14Okay.
01:01:19I'm sorry.
01:01:21Honey, can I get you some water or something?
01:01:23That's not necessary, thank you, but we should go.
01:01:26Come on, Anna, let's go.
01:01:28Anna, are you okay?
01:01:31I don't feel good.
01:01:32What?
01:01:33Hey, it's okay.
01:01:34Hey, hey, hey, hey!
01:01:36Hey, hey, hey, Anna!
01:01:37Anna!
01:01:38You okay?
01:01:39Hey!
01:01:39Hey!
01:01:49I can't believe they would move and not tell me.
01:01:51I can.
01:01:52Why'd you go over there?
01:01:53Why'd you even go over there?
01:01:55I don't know.
01:01:56It was a stupid idea.
01:01:58James and I can't donate stem cells to Olivia.
01:02:00But the doctor said that odds are my parents would be matches.
01:02:06Really?
01:02:08Yeah.
01:02:08I should have known that going to them would only lead to more drama.
01:02:13I mean, I could never trust them before.
01:02:15I don't know why I thought I could trust them now.
01:02:17Anna?
01:02:17Did you know that my mother lied to James and I?
01:02:22She said that we cheated on each other.
01:02:26What kind of mother would go out of her way to break up a high school relationship
01:02:30because, what, it was, like, such an affront to her Bible study group or whatever?
01:02:34I mean, you'd think that, like, a little part of her would want to fight for me.
01:02:43Anna?
01:02:46Your mother acted that way because she's not your mother.
01:02:56What?
01:02:58What do you mean she's not my real mother?
01:02:59Your real mother was a teen mom who couldn't raise you on her own.
01:03:07So your parents offered to adopt you.
01:03:11And you knew about this?
01:03:13For how long?
01:03:14It was a closed adoption, Anna.
01:03:16Legally, I couldn't say anything until you were 18.
01:03:19What about when I wasn't 18?
01:03:23I am so sorry.
01:03:25I was so afraid if I told you the truth after all this time.
01:03:31I'd lose you forever.
01:03:32Becca.
01:03:35What is the truth?
01:03:37Please.
01:03:37I'm your real mother.
01:03:53I was young and irresponsible.
01:03:56Your mother offered to keep you out of the system.
01:04:01My daughter's life was in danger.
01:04:04And you didn't tell me this?
01:04:05No, that's why I went to the doctor and told her your real family's medical history.
01:04:10And I didn't say anything when you were looking for a match because...
01:04:14Well, I thought you or James would be matches.
01:04:16So if James was a match, you just wouldn't have told me ever?
01:04:22Anna, this is all of it.
01:04:24There's no more secrets.
01:04:25I can get tested to save Olivia and everything can finally be normal.
01:04:30Normal?
01:04:32Are you kidding me?
01:04:33We never had a shot at normal, did we?
01:04:36Anna, please.
01:04:38I am so sorry.
01:04:41I need to go to James' right now.
01:04:44Okay?
01:04:44I need to be alone and I need to think about this.
01:04:47Hey.
01:05:09Hey, hey.
01:05:11Hey, what's wrong?
01:05:12Will you promise me something?
01:05:19Anything.
01:05:22No more secrets.
01:05:25If there's anything that you're keeping from me from now on, you please just tell me.
01:05:31Deal.
01:05:31Deal.
01:05:36Well, there is one thing.
01:05:38I love you.
01:05:54I love you, too.
01:06:02I love you.
01:06:08Good morning.
01:06:24Do you want some coffee, James?
01:06:26If that guy really wants some coffee.
01:06:28You're pregnant.
01:06:28You can't drink coffee.
01:06:29Do you want the coffee or not?
01:06:34What is going on?
01:06:36I'm sorry.
01:06:36I'm sorry.
01:06:38I'll leave you alone if that's what you want.
01:06:41I'll leave you alone forever after the transplant.
01:06:46My test results just came back.
01:06:49I'm a match.
01:06:52Oh, my God.
01:06:53Oh, this is amazing.
01:06:57Oh, my God.
01:06:58Oh.
01:06:58Oh.
01:06:58Oh.
01:06:58Oh.
01:07:08I'm a little surprised to find you here.
01:07:15Yeah.
01:07:15I just wanted to go someplace quiet until after the surgery was over.
01:07:19Good plan.
01:07:26Hey.
01:07:29Remember when we said we'd tell each other everything?
01:07:30What's going on?
01:07:32What's going on with you and Becca?
01:07:38She's my real mom.
01:07:41Oh.
01:07:43Um.
01:07:44Yeah.
01:07:46That's a lot.
01:07:47How are you doing?
01:07:48It hurts.
01:07:53You know, when I had Olivia, I felt hopeless too, but I never would have given her away,
01:08:00especially to people who don't even care.
01:08:02Well, when you had Olivia, you had support.
01:08:05What are you talking about?
01:08:07I was kicked out of my house.
01:08:10And then Becca took you in.
01:08:12No questions asked.
01:08:14I mean, sure.
01:08:15She might have not been able to make the right decision when she was 17.
01:08:21But she stepped up.
01:08:22So that you wouldn't have to make the same decision that she did.
01:08:32Hello?
01:08:34Okay.
01:08:35We'll be right there.
01:08:39Olivia's surgery's over.
01:08:42It was a success.
01:08:47I need to come to the church more often.
01:08:54Here it is.
01:08:56The extra jello from my favorite nurse.
01:09:00Oh.
01:09:01It's you.
01:09:02How's our girl?
01:09:12Olivia's surgery was a success.
01:09:14She can come home tomorrow.
01:09:18How are you feeling?
01:09:19I know stem cells are supposed to be important, but to tell you the truth, I can't feel much of a difference without them.
01:09:28I love you.
01:09:34I love you, too, kid.
01:09:39I love you, too, kid.
01:09:39I love you, too, kid.
01:09:41I've said it once, and I'll say it again.
01:09:54You are definitely an autumn, my darling.
01:09:57Oh, well, well.
01:09:58Look who's back up and running.
01:09:59Well, it's an honor to be back.
01:10:01Where's your prettier half?
01:10:03That is with a doctor checking in on the baby.
01:10:05Is he going to be a girl or a boy?
01:10:06Well, we don't know yet.
01:10:08To surprise.
01:10:08Well, that's silly.
01:10:10If it's a surprise, then how will I know how to make the perfect gift?
01:10:15I'm sure whatever you make for the baby will be perfect.
01:10:18Yeah, maybe.
01:10:19Hey, now that I have you both here, I want to talk to you guys.
01:10:23I've been thinking a lot about your mom and us and family.
01:10:31I want to ask for your blessing.
01:10:32Oh, my God.
01:10:35Are you serious?
01:10:36Of course you're serious.
01:10:37Why wouldn't you be serious?
01:10:38I...
01:10:38How do you want to do it?
01:10:39Balloons.
01:10:40No, that's tacky.
01:10:41Flowers.
01:10:42Roses.
01:10:43You'll need roses.
01:10:45I don't get it.
01:10:46What's the blessing for?
01:10:48Well, when two people have been going out for a while, and one of them wants to get married,
01:10:55they ask the other person's parents for their blessing so they can propose marriage.
01:11:00You want to marry, Mom?
01:11:02Yes, I do.
01:11:03Well, you definitely have my blessing, without a doubt.
01:11:06And I know Anna loves you with her whole heart.
01:11:09You're going to make each other so happy.
01:11:11That's very sweet, Becca.
01:11:13But there is one more person I need their blessing from.
01:11:16Me?
01:11:17Of course.
01:11:18You're Anna's whole world.
01:11:20If we're going to be a family, I want to make sure it's something that you want, too.
01:11:23Of course I want you guys to be together, Dad.
01:11:25And I have the perfect ring.
01:11:27Oh, I already bought it.
01:11:28Yes.
01:11:29Oh, my gosh.
01:11:38Perfect.
01:11:46James.
01:11:48Why did you bring me here?
01:11:50Anna.
01:11:50These last few months have been a whirlwind.
01:11:57But being by your side, being with your family, our family, has made them the best months of my life.
01:12:06Who's that?
01:12:15Well, I bought you a diamond.
01:12:16Okay.
01:12:17But Liv insisted you prefer pink.
01:12:21It's perfect.
01:12:23Anna.
01:12:24Will you make me the happiest man alive and marry me?
01:12:31Yes.
01:12:31Come on.
01:12:40Gay mom.
01:12:43Did you like the ring?
01:12:45I love it.
01:12:47We're finally going to be a real family.
01:12:49I can't wait.
01:12:51You won't have to.
01:12:53I don't want to waste another moment.
01:12:55Let's get married today.
01:12:56What do you say?
01:12:57I mean, we're already in a chapel.
01:12:59Yes.
01:12:59Let's do it.
01:13:00I'll go find a priest.
01:13:09Given the circumstances, I'm assuming you're the types that would like to say your own vows?
01:13:20Anna.
01:13:21It's been a long road to get here.
01:13:23But no matter what the world throws at us, we'll always find a way to come back to each other.
01:13:30I can't wait to be a part of your family.
01:13:33I promise to never leave your side.
01:13:36James, thank you for your honesty and for your love and your support and for helping me find the strength to trust again.
01:14:02Even though I literally fought you every single step of the way.
01:14:07I love you.
01:14:15James, do you take this woman to be your wife?
01:14:18I do.
01:14:20Anna, do you take this man to be your husband?
01:14:23Yes.
01:14:26You may now kiss the bride.
01:14:44Now, time to get you out of that sheet.
01:14:48Oh, and onto these sheets.
01:14:52You are such a dork.
01:14:54Yeah, but I'm your dork forever.
01:15:00I love you.
01:15:03I love you too.
01:15:04God, I never want to go back to that hospital ever again.
01:15:12Get a baby coming through.
01:15:13Move, move, move.
01:15:14Everybody go.
01:15:15Hey, it's okay.
01:15:16Baby coming through.
01:15:17Here we go.
01:15:18Here we go.
