1:18 Echoing Female Voice: Alice.
1:23 Alice?
1:26 Look at this mess. Oh, look at my kitchen.
1:29 Sweetheart, what are you doing?
1:30 Oh, you're always making messes.
1:36 Let me see your hands.
1:37 Okay, go wash up. Stay in your room.
1:40 You make a mess out of everything you touch.
1:43 [ music fades ]
1:49 - Charlie, say something.
1:53 - I thought we were safe.
1:55 You know, you-you, you had protection.
1:58 When did this happen? How far along are you?
2:03 - Twelve weeks?
2:05 I don't know. Twelve or thirteen.
2:07 - [ moans ]
2:08 - Which means I'm having this baby in December.
2:10 [ laughs ]
2:12 Gonna go into my Spring Semester with a--a baby...
2:16 Charlie, I'm 20. I don't know how to be a mom.
2:21 - Do you even want to think about...options?
2:28 - I mean, I--I know I don't want to mess up
2:30 some poor kid's life.
2:32 - You're not gonna mess anything up.
2:34 All right? That's your mom talking.
2:36 - But we already screwed up the plan.
2:37 This wasn't supposed to happen first.
2:41 We're supposed to get married first. We're supposed to--
2:43 to have a few years together, you know.
2:46 My gosh, my mom's gonna kill me.
2:50 Babe, when I tell her, she's never gonna speak to me again.
3:00 Do you want to keep this baby?
3:04 - Only if it's a boy. - What?
3:08 Babe? - Listen--I'm kidding.
3:10 Come here. Give me your hands.
3:13 Listen.
3:16 [ exhales ] Okay.
3:17 [ music ] Look at me. Look at me.
3:19 Hey, hey. Okay.
3:21 This is not the worst thing that could happen, you know?
3:25 I'm--I'm--I'm--I'm half way through my 20's.
3:30 I think I'm ready.
3:32 Yeah. Yeah.
3:34 I do. And I think you're ready too.
3:36 We can do this. - [ laughing, crying ]
3:37 - We got this.
3:39 - Kay. - Okay?
3:43 - [ sighs, sniffs ]
3:47 - Cool.
3:49 - When I tell my mom that I'm having a baby
3:51 and we're not married, she's...
3:53 My parents are not gonna be happy with me.
3:55 - Okay.
3:58 Wha--let's do that, then.
3:59 - I--I wasn't--
4:00 - No, I-- - I promise, I wasn't trying
4:02 to talk you into anything. - I know, but I'm serious.
4:04 Let's get married. Right now.
4:06 Justice of the Peace.
4:08 - [ laughs ]
4:10 - Come on.
4:12 - What about a wedding?
4:13 My poor mother has been planning the thing
4:15 since before I was born.
4:17 - I'm--babe, I know. And--
4:20 Well, truthfully, I feel like we're kinda past that now right?
4:24 I mean, we--you-- we're having a baby.
4:27 - [ laughs ]
4:30 - And we gotta do it right.
4:33 - No, I know. You're right. You're right.
4:36 - So...
4:38 - But you haven't even proposed yet.
4:39 [ sighs ]
4:41 We can't just go to the court house.
4:42 There's a lot of girls-- - Will you marry me?
4:46 - Charlie. I love you.
4:48 - I love you. - We don't have to rush into--
4:50 - I'm not--um...
4:53 I got things a little out of order.
4:54 I realize that, but...
4:56 [ music ]
5:01 I'll be right back.
5:02 - Babe. Babe.
5:05 - How are you? - Fine.
5:06 - Fantastic... [ indistinct chatter ]
5:09 [ music ]
5:14 Can I have that? Excellent service. Thank you.
5:21 Yep. Okay.
5:24 - What are you doing? - Give me your hands.
5:25 - Babe. - Give me your hands.
5:31 - I'll live only for your happiness...
5:33 for your love, I would give my last breath.
5:38 Alice (whispering): Not here.
5:41 - As long as I live.
5:44 I will love you.
5:47 I promise you this.
5:49 There is nothing I wouldn't give from this moment on.
5:56 Ali, will you marry me?
6:00 - I hope you know what you're getting yourself into.
6:02 - Are you saying yes?
6:07 Yes, yes, I'll marry you. - Yeah? Ah. Okay. All right.
6:12 - Oh, baby, you don't have to put that on..
6:15 - This is gonna be great.
6:19 - [ laughs ]
6:20 - I mean, you're insane. I'm marrying a crazy person.
6:23 - Don't get too attached to that. Gonna replace that soon.
6:27 I really do love you..
6:30 - I really do love you too.
6:32 [ music ]
6:34 [ music stops ]
6:36 Did--did you just propose with Shania Twain lyrics?
6:40 - Yes. Yes I did. But you can't take it back now.
6:43 It's too late. She said "yes," everybody!
6:46 [ clapping ]
6:48 [ crying ]
6:52 Alice: Is he healthy?
6:54 - Mm-hm. Sure is. Sorry about the scare.
6:57 You have a nice-sized little boy.
6:59 [ laughs ]
7:00 And you're due?
7:01 - Oh, the doctor says eight weeks but...
7:04 I think he'll come early.
7:06 - Every first-time momma thinks they're gonna deliver early.
7:08 You're like, there's no way I can get any bigger
7:11 than I already am, but they do.
7:13 - Really? - Uh-huh.
7:15 - This scare just made me realize how much
7:17 I really do want him here.
7:19 - Yeah, there's nothing like the first time you see that baby.
7:22 - Oh, you have kids?
7:24 - Uh-huh. - How many?
7:25 - I have two. I just gave birth to my second.
7:28 A few months ago.
7:30 - I do want him to be here but then...
7:34 at the same time, I don't know what to do when is here, you know?
7:38 And more than anything, I just don't want to--
7:40 - Honey. you don't have to be afraid of a child.
7:43 You're going to a great mom.
7:46 You're gonna mess up, yes.
7:48 All you gotta do is love 'em.
7:49 And put the fear of God in 'em as they grow.
7:51 - I don't know.
7:53 I don't know what is about motherhood that just has me
7:55 so...I don't know.
7:58 Second-guessing myself, I just... I mean, I know I need
8:01 to get diapers and we need to finish safe-proofing
8:03 the house cause we're not done with that yet, but...
8:05 - I say you need Jesus more than all that stuff.
8:09 Do you go to church?
8:11 - I--I did when I was younger but, you know,
8:12 it's been a while.
8:14 - Tell you what.
8:15 Tell your husband that you're new friend Teresa
8:17 invited you to church.
8:19 Give me a call and tell me what he says.
8:22 - Yeah. Um, okay. - All right.
8:26 Whispering: Teresa.
8:28 - Why don't you finish getting cleaned up and take your time
8:31 and you better not forget to call me.
8:34 - Bye. - Bye.
8:36 [ music ]
8:50 Mother: You have to read it. You have--
8:52 - I'm not gonna read it and you can't make me!
8:54 - Christopher! I'm going to count to three.
8:56 And if you don't quit your whining
8:57 I'm gonna leave you here at the library.
8:59 Christopher: Stop pulling my arm!
9:01 Mother: That's one.
9:02 - No it's not. - Yes it is.
9:05 Woman: Did you get the books?
9:09 Your first? - Yeah.
9:12 - Exciting.
9:13 - You make it look so easy.
9:15 [ laughs ] - Yeah, well, it isn't. James?
9:18 Grab your sister's hand, stop by the front door please.
9:21 But it's worth it.
9:22 God gives us grace and strength,
9:24 and each child is a blessing.
9:25 You enjoy yours. - Thank you. I will.
9:30 - All right, kids. Inside voices.
9:34 [ music ]
9:42 - So, I feel like you got enough diapers for THREE babies.
9:46 Is there something you're not telling me right now?
9:48 - No. - No? Okay.
9:49 - We just have to be prepared.
9:51 This is a living human being we're having here.
9:53 - Yeah. It's a--it's a baby.
9:55 You know, we're not the first people to be parents.
9:57 The thing eats and sleeps and then pees and poops
10:00 in the first year and that's about it, right?
10:03 We got this thing outnumbered. It's like basketball. Right?
10:05 There's two of us, we're big people, two grown-ups
10:07 against one little bitty baby.
10:09 We got this.
10:23 - Does it not scare you at all to be a parent?
10:25 - Nope. Not really.
10:30 Okay, maybe a little bit.
10:32 But I figure it will just come naturally. You know?
10:33 We'll roll with it.
10:35 [ sighs ] - I just don't wanna turn out like my mom.
10:38 What if I screw up my kid?
10:40 - You are not your mom.
10:42 You never will be, and besides, I like how you turned out.
10:46 - [ laughs ] Yeah, 20 and pregnant?
10:49 Not sure how many people would agree with you on how I turned out.
10:51 Besides, doesn't everybody say they're not going to do
10:54 what their parents did and then they turn out just like them?
10:59 - Ali, moms have been raising babies for centuries
11:01 and you have all these books you've checked out,
11:03 all the magazines that you've bought
11:05 and the horrible talk shows you've been watching.
11:07 - Hey. - We'll figure it out.
11:10 Okay? And listen, worst case, if we got questions
11:13 we find somebody who has the answers.
11:15 - Yeah, a nurse who was doing the ultrasound today,
11:18 she's a mom of two and she was--she was awesome.
11:22 She gave me her number.
11:23 - See? Great. Call her. Take her to coffee,
11:25 pick her brain.
11:27 - She invited us to, uh, go to church.
11:32 - Hunh.
11:33 - I mean, some churches have mommy groups that
11:35 women can go to, or like a Mommy's Day Out program
11:41 It--it might--it might be a really good way to--
11:43 to get some help.
11:45 - Does it start early on Sundays, cause you know
11:48 I like to sleep in.
11:49 - That's not all you like to do on Sunday mornings.
11:51 [ laughs ] - Hey, look, I'm not the only--
11:52 - Anyways, your days of sleeping in are coming
11:55 to an abrupt halt, mister.
12:00 I can't do this alone.
12:04 I really think it might be a good idea
12:06 if we start going.
12:08 [ music ]
12:10 - Okay. - Thank you, sweetheart.
12:14 - I do have to finish this crib, otherwise this kid's
12:16 not gonna have a place to sleep.
12:18 - It looks like you're pretty much done to me.
12:19 - Yeah, does it? - Mm-hm.
12:23 [ music ] Alice: Hey, I need you to install the car seat...
12:40 - [ grunting ] - You all right?
12:47 All right, take some breaths and let's push it out.
12:49 - Push, push... Male Doctor: Push hard! Push hard!
12:54 You got it! That's it.
12:56 [ baby crying ]
12:59 [ music ]
13:06 [ crying ]
13:29 [ soft breathing ]
13:32 - Ronnie.
13:37 [ music ]
13:46 Charlie: He's beautiful.
13:50 [ music fades ]
14:01 [ music ]
14:15 - Hey, Christie, I'm here to pick up Kate, uh, Morris.
14:18 - Um, I'm afraid--Katie was a little out of hand
14:21 this morning. [ kids crying ]
14:24 She hit two of the other children with wooden blocks.
14:27 [ crying ]
14:29 - I'm so sorry.
14:31 - We tried to get her to calm down but she doesn't seem
14:35 to understand that you cannot throw wooden blocks
14:37 at other people, including me.
14:40 So I thought you might want to address that.
14:42 - Of course. Yeah.
14:43 - You know our policy is if kids keep hitting
14:47 then we have to have a parent stay with them
14:50 during the service or else the child has to sit
14:52 with mom and dad in, um, the big church
14:54 until their next birthday.
14:56 - I completely understand.
14:58 Um, I'll talk with my husband and--it won't happen again.
15:03 - Thank you.
15:04 [ music ] [ child crying ]
15:07 Boy: Mommy, mommy, I want to be an assassin when I grow up.
15:10 And then, I'm not gonna have a name so the police can't find me,
15:15 and then I'm gonna hack into the computer
15:17 and I'm gonna steal all the government's secret plans,
15:20 and then I'm gonna blow up a Death Star,
15:22 and then [ child crying ] destroy all the monsters in the ocean.
15:25 Hey, mommy, what do you want for your birthday?
15:28 - For you to not be a complete screw-up
15:29 for one day, Ronnie!
15:32 [ child crying ]
15:35 [ somber music ]
15:42 [ door slams ]
15:45 - Ali, you okay? [ crying ]
15:47 Alice: I just need a minute.
15:51 - Okay, hey, buddy. How you doing?
15:53 Kate's got poop on her back.
15:55 Alice: Yeah, well when is she not covered in poop?
15:57 - Daddy. Alice: Can you please just change her
15:59 so I can have five minutes alone.
16:01 Katie: Momma! - Okay.
16:02 Let's give mommy a second.
16:04 Let me go change her real quick, okay?
16:05 Then I'll come check-- oh, that's, that's awful.
16:09 Katie: Momma!
16:11 [ music ] [ Charlie groaning ]
16:17 Wipes... where...
16:20 [ Katie whimpering ]
16:23 Oh, Kate.
16:25 Stop. Stop moving. You've done enough.
16:28 - Hey. I'll do it. I'll do it.
16:30 - I got this.
16:31 - I don't want you changing when you're upset.
16:33 - Yeah, well you locked yourself in the bathroom
16:34 and said you needed help so I'm helping.
16:36 - I just needed a minute. I can do my job, thank you.
16:38 [ crying ]
16:39 Hey.
16:42 Hey, Teresa and Kenneth are gonna be here at 6:30.
16:44 How long do burgers take?
16:46 - (softly) Perfect night for company
16:47 (louder) Like 30 minutes, I'll get into it.
16:49 Hey, one more thing.
16:50 Can you come back here for a minute?
16:53 - Sure.
16:55 Tonight we need to talk about Kate.
16:56 She was--I guess hitting other kids in church yesterday
16:59 and they said that they might actually have to kick her out of nursery.
17:03 - Kick her out of nursery? That's crazy. She's two.
17:06 That's what 2-year-olds do-- - Yeah well, let's just talk about it tonight
17:08 after they have left.
17:11 Kate and Ronnie have been running the house lately
17:12 and it is--it is wearing me out.
17:15 - I'm sure it's a phase. She'll grow out of it.
17:18 Talk to Teresa about it.
17:19 - I don't think it's a phase.
17:21 The other kids are not hitting each other.
17:23 We are her parents. We're supposed to fix things like this.
17:25 I don't want to talk to Teresa. I want to talk to you about it.
17:29 I want to talk to my husband.
17:30 I want to hear your ideas.
17:32 I cannot do everything by myself.
17:35 - Okay, we'll talk about it.
17:37 - Great. I'm so glad you're interested in your kids' lives.
17:55 - Quiet out here.
17:57 - Yeah, I know--kinda nice, isn't it?
17:59 - Heh, tell me about it.
18:01 With three under six, the sound of nothing can be pretty sweet.
18:05 - I honestly don't know how you guys do it.
18:07 Ronnie and Kate are almost too much for Ali as it is.
18:11 - What about you?
18:12 - Oh, I'm fine with two.
18:15 - No, I'm talking about the stress.
18:18 Does it get to you?
18:19 - I just tune it out.
18:21 I know, man, but hey, I work and come home--I gotta unwind.
18:25 - You don't think Alice is tired, too?
18:27 - I'm sure she is, but I don't know, quick trips--I just--
18:29 I don't know, it takes it outta me, man.
18:31 - Well look, man, I get it, all right?
18:34 When it comes to raising kids, the days are long
18:35 but the years are short.
18:37 - Not short enough, if you ask me.
18:41 - You remember the challenge that Pastor Mark gave us on Sunday?
18:43 - Nah, I was outta town. - You were outta town.
18:46 Well, look--he, uh, quoted some guy that said,
18:48 "Children are the living messages that we send forth
18:51 to a time that we will not see."
18:55 - Hm.
18:57 - You should get the tape.
18:59 He talks about giving a vision for what God might have for your kids.
19:04 Something more than hoping that they grow up happy and healthy
19:06 and get a good job and get married.
19:08 - Ooh--I think I burned these.
19:13 Yeah, I hear you, man.
19:15 - It got me to realize that... our kids aren't the problem.
19:19 It's us, man.
19:22 Yeah, uh, you and me-- that's right.
19:24 - I'm the problem?
19:26 - Remember that verse that says,
19:28 "Without a vision, the people will perish?"
19:31 - Can't say that I do.
19:33 - Well, it applies to the family as well.
19:36 You can't run around living life one day at a time.
19:39 You gotta know where you're going, and then lead.
19:43 [ music ]
19:48 - All right.
19:50 - Gimme that ball.
19:52 - Unh.
19:54 - Literally pulls up from half-court and he makes it,
19:56 just actually, this is something I do all the time.
19:58 It was ridiculous.
20:00 - I saw the replay of that on the news.
20:01 - Did you? - It was unbelievable.
20:02 It was, it was crazy. - Excuse me--yes, son?
20:05 - I finished my food. Can I get a popsicle?
20:11 - Ms. Alice, John David has a question for you.
20:14 - Yes, John David?
20:15 - May I please get popsicles?
20:18 - Of course you can.
20:19 They're in the freezer, on the bottom shelf.
20:20 [ Kate babbling ]
20:24 Your little man has become quite the gentleman.
20:26 - I want a popsicle too.
20:28 - You can have one when all of your food's gone, buddy.
20:30 - But I can't eat it, it's too much food.
20:32 I want a popsicle like John David.
20:34 - Son, your mother gave you an answer.
20:36 You cannot have dessert until you finish your food.
20:39 Sit down, finish your food.
20:42 Do you--mind if I try something?
20:44 - Go ahead.
20:48 - Now, Ronnie, you know, your plate has to be empty
20:51 before you go get dessert, right?
21:06 - It looks like your plate's all empty, hon.
21:08 I guess that means you get dessert.
21:12 - Can I get a popsicle now?
21:13 - Yes, you may. Thank you for asking.
21:22 Kenneth: My dad did that with me once.
21:23 I never forgot it.
21:25 "That's the picture of grace," he would say.
21:29 Getting what you don't deserve because somebody else
21:31 did what you should have done for you.
21:35 Charlie: You just wanted to eat more hamburger, man.
21:37 Don't be--don't get all spiritual on me over there.
21:38 [ laughs ]
21:40 - You just remember that the next time
21:41 you're making these hamburgers out there.
21:43 - We got more if you need it. [ laughter ]
21:45 You don't have to eat my kid's food all the time.
21:48 Bring him a popsicle. [ laughter ]
21:50 Steal my kid's hamburger.
21:56 - Just five more minutes and I'll help you with those dishes.
21:58 - Oh, no, no, no, no. You sit and rest.
22:00 - No, I can't have you doing all that extra--
22:02 - Why do you wanna sit-- - Did you hear us talking?
22:05 - Excuse me, momma.
22:06 - You're excused.
22:08 - Ronnie wants to know can I--
22:10 - May I-- - May I play Frogger with him?
22:12 - What's that?
22:15 - Oh, it's just this little video game with frogs trying to, like, cross the road.
22:18 It's--it's totally harmless.
22:19 - Yes, you can play Froggy with Ronnie.
22:21 [ laughs ] - It's "Frogger," Mommy.
22:25 - Well, whatever it's called, yes, you can play
22:27 for about 10 minutes, and then we gotta go.
22:29 - Thank you. My mom said I can play!
22:32 - [ laughter ] Kids.
22:36 - Hey, I'm sorry about Ronnie tonight.
22:38 - What for?
22:40 - His manners, or his lack of manners, I should say.
22:45 - Well, how does he normally act?
22:48 - I don't know, I guess--I guess I just don't notice it,
22:50 you know, when it's just him and Kate.
22:52 But I--I don't know why he just seems to always decide
22:55 to act up whenever we have company around.
22:57 - John David used to be just the same.
22:58 - Really?
23:00 - Mm-hmm. It took us weeks to get him to learn
23:02 basic table manners.
23:03 - Because there ain't no kid gonna say things like
23:05 "please" and "thank you" on their own.
23:06 [ laughs ]
23:08 - Yeah, well, you're gonna have to, uh, lend me
23:10 whatever book you used to train him.
23:12 - Oh, you already got it, honey--and it's all in there.
23:15 In The Bible.
23:16 - Oh, well, I guess I missed the chapter on manners.
23:20 - Well, how much time do you spend reading Proverbs
23:22 or memorizing verses?
23:24 I mean; I have all my kids learn Proverbs 23:13-14
23:27 as soon as they old enough to talk.
23:29 "Do not withhold discipline from your children."
23:32 "Whom the Lord loves, he disciplines."
23:35 - Yeah, but I just--I don't know that I can intentionally hurt
23:38 my child, though?
23:39 - Alice, listen--some of the greatest lessons in life
23:41 come amidst pain.
23:43 If there's no sting, then what you get is a spoiled child.
23:48 And I know you don't want that.
23:54 [video game gun fire]
24:08 - Hon, your son is watching you play that game.
24:12 - Can you take him in the other room with you?
24:15 - I have--I have to run a bath for Kate.
24:16 Can you not just pause your game and please deal with him?
24:19 - Hey, bro, why don't you go put your pajamas on
24:21 and brush your teeth, and I'll-- I'll come pray with you in a minute, okay?
24:23 - But why?
24:25 - Because it's time to go to bed.
24:27 Got it--got him.
24:29 - But why can't I just watch for a few more minutes?
24:32 - Buddy, this is a grown-up game, okay?
24:34 I told you that before.
24:35 Now please, you gotta go to bed.
24:37 - Why?
24:38 - [ loudly ] Son, go to bed, now, please.
24:42 [ crying ]
24:44 - Honey. Charlie, I cannot believe you.
24:49 Come on. [ video game gun fire ]
25:00 [ music ]
25:08 [ drops controller ]
25:16 - I'm sure that you both realize that Ronnie's very bright.
25:20 We've been tracking his test scores over the past four years,
25:24 and he's in the 97th percentile in reading and language.
25:28 He's in the 99th percentile in math,
25:31 he's in the 99th percentile in science.
25:33 So even though Ronnie's a freshman, we would like
25:35 to encourage you to have him start taking the SAT now,
25:39 and once a year, every year.
25:41 I don't wanna create any false expectations, but students
25:44 with these kinds of early scores often go on
25:47 to become National Merit Scholars.
25:50 I'd imagine he will have his pick of college options,
25:54 and many of those options will likely come with some very
25:57 generous scholarships attached.
26:00 You both should be very proud.
26:02 - Ninety-ninth percentile.
26:03 Did you have any idea he was that smart?
26:05 - I knew he got good grades and didn't have to work at it very hard.
26:08 - Whew. - What do you think?
26:10 Free college? I--yeah, I'm into it.
26:13 - You know how he's been skipping youth group,
26:14 saying that he needed to study?
26:15 This whole time I thought he was making excuses
26:17 because it's boring and the--the leaders tell him--
26:20 treat him like he's in sixth grade.
26:22 But he's actually been studying.
26:23 Like, he's really smart.
26:25 - Yeah. He's "free college" smart.
26:28 I'm not sure we'll get that lucky with Kate--
26:29 or Josh or Faith.
26:31 - See you at home. - Love you.
26:33 [ music ]
26:42 [ clattering ]
26:45 - What are you doing with my mastazord set?
26:48 - Mom said I could use the Legos to build a fort for Freckle.
26:51 - That doesn't mean you take apart a mastazord
26:53 to build some stupid fort.
26:54 - It's not stupid, and Mom said I could.
26:57 - She didn't say that. Now give it back.
26:59 - Mom said I could play with it.
27:02 - She's not your real mom anyway.
27:03 - Yes, she is.
27:05 - Nuh-uh--your real mom couldn't handle you.
27:07 - That's not true!
27:08 - That's what mom told me when we got you.
27:11 - She did not! - Uh-huh.
27:14 - Here, take your stupid Legos. They're stupid anyway!
27:18 Mom!
27:24 [ ring tone ]
27:26 [ clattering ]
27:32 - Hey. You on your way?
27:35 - No, I'm not. I'm still at the office.
27:38 Hey, how was your day?
27:39 - How late?
27:42 How was your day is code for "I'm going to be late,"
27:45 so just tell me how late.
27:47 - Okay. Well, I--I do have another couple hours of work
27:50 to do on the Wilson project, and then I--
27:51 I should be able to get free.
27:52 - Charlie, really?
27:54 - Listen, I know, but, uh, if I work hard, I can get it done
27:57 by Friday and then no more late nights for a while.
28:00 - Yeah, well, I think this is, what,
28:01 the 10th project you've said that on now.
28:05 - Hey, are you okay?
28:06 - No. No, not really.
28:11 - Josh and Faith had a big fight today, and Josh
28:13 said some really horrible things to her.
28:15 - Like what?
28:17 - Like that I'm not her real mom.
28:21 She's not little anymore, and I--and I don't know
28:23 how to talk to her about her mom and why she ultimately gave her up.
28:30 I need you to be home before Josh goes to bed,
28:32 so you can talk with him.
28:34 He ignores me. He needs to hear it from you.
28:36 And I--and I don't know what to say to Faith either.
28:38 So maybe we can do that together?
28:42 - Yeah, okay--love you. [ typing ]
28:45 [ music ]
28:49 - Kids, dinner!
28:51 - Is Dad home yet?
28:53 - Um, that was--that was him on the phone.
28:56 Um, he's--he's stuck on a project, so he's not
28:59 gonna be back until late.
29:01 - He was supposed to take me to the mall tonight.
29:03 - Yeah, well, I don't think that's gonna happen, sweetie, I'm sorry.
29:07 - Can I call Dad and see if we can go?
29:10 - Yes, but, um, we need to eat dinner first.
29:13 Please go get the others. Tell them that it's time to eat.
29:17 Kate Yelling: Ronnie, Josh, Faith--dinner!
29:27 - Laundry belongs in the bin, not next to the bin.
29:31 [ sigh ]
29:33 I seem to make babies faster than I can pick up their laundry.
29:37 - How DO you make babies?
29:39 - What? - What?
29:42 - We're not talking about this. Go get your PJs on.
29:44 - But I need to go potty.
29:46 - Then go potty.
29:50 [ knocking ]
29:54 What you reading?
29:57 Something for a class?
29:59 - Nope, just for fun.
30:03 Hey, on Saturday, um, I was planning on going to a concert
30:06 downtown with some friends.
30:07 - What show?
30:09 - Uh, it's a band called Nihil Fit.
30:12 - Are they Christian? - Kind of.
30:13 Their band name is Latin for "Nothing Comes,"
30:16 and their music has some spiritual themes.
30:18 - Okay. Who would you be going with?
30:20 - I don't think you know them--Justin Booth
30:22 and Franklin Hauser?
30:23 They're juniors, so they can give me a ride to the show.
30:27 - I think that should be fine, but let me just--
30:29 let me just talk with your dad before I let you know, okay?
30:32 - Okay.
30:33 - Night. - Goodnight.
30:36 [ music ] [ phone ringing ]
30:41 - Hi, Daddy, it's Katiebug.
30:47 It's okay.
30:48 I know you have really important things to do.
30:53 I know the fair is Saturday. Do you think we could go?
30:58 Thanks, Daddy.
31:02 She's putting everyone to bed.
31:07 I love you too, Daddy.
31:14 - Okay, turn it off. - Okay.
31:16 - Put it up. - Okay.
31:17 - Now here you go.
31:19 So I wanna talk to you about the things that you said
31:21 to your little sister today.
31:22 - I was just kidding with her.
31:25 - Honey, it's--it's not kidding if you tell her
31:27 that I'm not her real mommy.
31:30 - Well, you're not. That's what you told me.
31:33 - Well, I'm not her birth mom, yes, but I am her real mommy.
31:38 God her planned for our family before she was even born.
31:41 - Well, why didn't he put her in your tummy?
31:46 God just has different plans sometimes, that's all.
31:51 Look, sweetie, I know that having a sister can be very,
31:53 very frustrating, but Faith needs you
31:57 to be a good big brother.
31:58 - Well, me and her don't even like the same things.
32:01 - Well, that's okay.
32:03 Maybe you can help her with things, you know?
32:06 You could maybe teach her cursive, because you're really good at your letters.
32:10 Or you could show her games on your iPad, or maybe show her
32:15 pictures and tell her stories about our family.
32:18 - I can show her the place in the garage Dad put
32:20 a hole in the wall when we were moving in.
32:22 - [ laughs ] Yes--yeah, you could--you could definitely
32:25 show her that.
32:28 You know what you need to do first, though?
32:29 - What?
32:31 - You need to tell her that you're very sorry and ask her
32:33 to forgive you for the things you said.
32:37 Do you remember how to do that?
32:40 What do you say first?
32:41 - I say "sorry."
32:44 - You say, "I'm sorry for--"
32:46 - I'm sorry for what I said.
32:50 I was wrong.
32:53 Will you-- - Will you please forgive me?
32:58 And then what do you do?
32:59 - Then I give her a hug.
33:01 - [ laughs ] Perfect.
33:02 We'll do that first thing in the morning, okay?
33:04 - Okay. - Night, little buddy.
33:07 - Good night, Mom. - Sleep good.
33:13 Alice: Josh, your shoes are by the door, hurry up!
33:15 Sweetie, we gotta leave in five minutes.
33:16 I've got an appointment at the office at 9:00.
33:18 Is your lunch almost packed?
33:20 - [ distracted ] Almost.
33:22 - Who are you texting this early in the morning?
33:25 - It's a friend. - And her name is?
33:27 - His name is Adam, Lauren's older brother.
33:33 - Hey, Adam can wait five minutes until your lunch
33:36 is packed and we are in the car.
33:39 - Hey, hey. Morning, baby.
33:41 How you doing?
33:43 Did you sleep good? Did you sleep good?
33:45 Did you sleep good? [ laughter ]
33:47 Hey, sweetheart.
33:49 - Hi, Dad. - Hey, baby, I gotta run.
33:50 Um, I know I said I'd pick up the kids later,
33:52 but I'm--I'm probably gonna have to work late.
33:53 - Babe--
33:55 I know. I'm finishing it, though, so this'll be
33:57 the last time for a while.
33:58 - Yeah, well, you said that last weekend.
34:01 - I mean it today.
34:03 - Okay. Well, just be off tomorrow.
34:05 The girls are counting on you.
34:06 - Oh--I wouldn't miss the fair with my girls.
34:10 You excited? - Yeah!
34:11 - Faith is coming?
34:13 - Yeah--Dad and the girls at the fair.
34:17 It's gonna be great.
34:19 What do you think, Faith?
34:20 You think we should get Kate to ride the teacups with us?
34:22 - Yeah.
34:24 - You up for-- - You know what, you guys
34:25 can just go ride the teacups together.
34:27 Um, I'm gonna just go with some friends from school.
34:32 It's probably a better idea anyway.
34:34 Mom, I'll be in the car.
34:39 - What's that about?
34:40 - Teacups?
34:44 - She loves teacups.
34:47 - Do you realize that she is 12 now?
34:51 Faith, come on. Let's go.
34:54 Josh, we're in the car!
34:58 [ music ]
35:06 [ birds singing ]
35:22 [ ring tone ]
35:28 - Yeah, I had them checked yesterday, they said they're fine.
35:31 Yep, spare too.
35:34 Yeah, I know. We can Skype.
35:36 I'll be home in like 11 weeks.
35:40 Mm-hmm. [ water pouring ]
35:42 All right, you too--see ya.
35:45 - Was that Dad?
35:46 - Mm--yep.
35:48 - You know, he tried to take an later flight so he could be here.
35:50 - No big deal--he was here for the party last night.
35:52 - Yeah, well, I can't believe that they wouldn't let him
35:54 miss a meeting so that he could be here to see
35:55 his firstborn son off to college.
35:57 - Mom, it's no big deal.
35:58 - Hey--you need help with your stuff?
36:00 - Got it.
36:19 - You know, your dad and I keep thinking that Dunwood is a mistake.
36:24 You had your choice of a dozen schools.
36:25 I--I don't see why you had to pick the most extreme.
36:28 - Mom, look, I know this is hard for you, letting go--
36:31 but you've done your job. You raised me, okay?
36:34 I stayed out of trouble, I got the grades,
36:36 I got the full scholarship, tuition, room and board.
36:40 You did good, okay.
36:51 - Where do you want these?
36:52 - Um, passenger seat.
37:14 [ music ]
37:23 Hey, are you looking through all my stuff?
37:27 - I was just looking at your baby picture, and--
37:29 - It's just a book, okay?
37:31 I mean, you--you can't really know what you believe
37:33 until you've read all the sides.
37:35 And he teaches at Dunwood?
37:40 - I'm not gonna do this again with you, okay?
37:42 The decision is made.
37:44 Classes start on Thursday.
37:45 Would you let it go?
37:47 - Ronnie, what are you-- - Mom, let it go.
37:51 - Okay.
37:53 Do you have your registration and everything
37:55 in your glove compartment?
38:00 - That belongs to Matt. He put it there the other night.
38:03 He just asked me to keep it for a few days.
38:06 - And you were just going to drop it off by his house
38:08 on your way out on Monday morning?
38:10 - Exactly, so--
38:12 - You are not leaving this driveway with drugs in your car.
38:16 Do you have any more of this stuff in here?
38:19 [ music ]
38:26 - Are you done?
38:28 - When your father finds out about this--
38:31 Yeah, okay, whatever. [ laughs ]
38:36 [ sighs ] Hey, you guys know where to find me, all right?
38:43 Look me up sometime.
38:46 Reed Hall--room 517.
38:55 [ engine starts ]
38:57 Bye, Mom. [ door alarm chime ]
39:02 Close the door.
39:04 [ music ]
39:10 - Ronnie--Ronnie!
