(light orchestral music) - WOMAN: All right, ladies, we're gonna go ahead and shift into our four-point kneel. Make sure that your hands are under your shoulders and that your knees are directly under your hips. On an exhale, let's go ahead and round up. Shifting your gaze to your inner thighs as you round the spine into your cat position, inhale nice and long as you extend into your cow position breathing deep to give the baby space. Exhale, arch up, shift your gaze. Inhale, lengthen out nice and long feeling that neutral pelvis. All right, we're gonna go ahead and lift into our plank. You can either hang out here if that's comfortable for you or you can drop down into your chaturanga. Inhale, lift back up. We're gonna go ahead and bring our right foot forward, anchor into your heel. Make sure that your knee is directly over your ankle as you lift up. Go ahead and pull in your abdominals to activate that pelvic floor to anchor you. Let's go ahead. Open up into our warrior two. - Yes. - Inhale, exhale. (keys clack) - "Thank you so much." - Inhale, exhale. - "Need to mention it to my wife, but I will get back to you as soon as possible." - Inhale, exhale. - "Thanks again. David." (exhales sharply) (chuckles) - Go ahead into our downward dog, and then drop our knees down and sit all the way down. Bring your knees around, and let's relax bringing your fingertips to touch. One more inhale, one more exhale. (exhales deeply) Taking in all that good energy for the baby. All right, guys, that's all for today. Thank you so much for visiting. And all my new pregnant mommas out there, make sure that you subscribe so that you can get the entire prenatal yoga programme. - Namaste. - Amazing. Eight months pregnant and still rocking those yoga pants. - Yeah, and I'm still more flexible than you. Ooh. - Yeah, I don't doubt it. - (sighs) (groans) (camera beeps) - Hi. - Hi. Mm. That was great. - Thank you. Mm. - Maybe we could have our own little private yoga session, no? - Oh, yeah. No, you don't want all of this sweatiness right now. Besides, I have to shower before we go to Dr Rupp's. - Come on, the shower is the perfect yoga studio. - (chuckles) Is it? - Yes. - I don't think so. - You'd be surprised. - I do appreciate your persistence, though. But even I have some limitations with, uh, all of this. Maybe... Maybe tonight, I could teach you some private yoga moves. - I'll hold you to it. - I can be convinced to that. - Convinced? - So it's like 25,000 in one week, which is super-exciting. - Wow. - (chuckles) I know. - Crazy. So, I finally heard back from that campaign I told you about. - OK. And? (chuckles) - And... I got it. - Oh my God! Are you serious? Babe, that's so great! Oh, congratulations! Wow! - Thank you. It's sort of a good-news-bad-news scenario. - OK. What do you`? What do you mean by that? - Well, they push the timeline up, like, big time. They want me to fly out tomorrow. - Tomorrow? To Glasgow? - You know, technically, the Scottish country side outside of Glasgow, but, yeah. - OK. Oh, wow. Um, uh, well, that's really fast. We only have two weeks before any of this. And now` - No, I know, I know, I know. Look, I... It's crazy, right? - Yeah. - No, I probably shouldn't go. I won't go. - No, no. You've been working too hard for this. (sighs) How fast can you get home? - I mean, at least a week before your due day. - OK. - Really? Are we really considering this? - Well, yeah. I mean, it's gonna be huge for you. And, honestly, Nana left this needing so many repairs. I mean, we really need the money. - Yeah. I'm just worried about you, though. I mean, I can have my mom come out early. Probably help you on the` - No, nope, nope. (chuckles) I don't need that. I'm gonna be fine. We're gonna be fine. I promise. - Really? - Really. Yeah, you gotta go. You gotta do this. - You sure? - No. But this is as sure as I'm gonna be. - God, I love you. Come here. - Yeah, you should love me. (exhales sharply) We can do this. OK, come on, we're gonna be late. I have to go shower. - Yeah. (birds chirping) - The heartbeat looks good. Everything looks normal. I think we're in good shape here. - That's great. (chuckles) - Have you felt anything out of the ordinary since your last visit? - No. No, I think everything's been fine. - Great. If things keep going this smoothly, the next few weeks should be a breeze. - That's wonderful. - Of course, I'll need you to come on in the next two weeks just to be sure. - It's actually just gonna be me. - Yeah, I gotta leave town for business. Uh, is that`? Uh, is that OK? - Yes, I think we're in great shape here. - Well, that's a relief. - Yeah. - (chuckles) - Well, thank you so much. - Yeah. - Well, I guess I will see you soon. - Ah, take care of that baby. - I will. - Ah, that's good. - Yeah, it went very well. - You gotta feel a little relief. - Oh, yeah. Leaving town, peace of mind. - (chuckles) No, you're not gonna expl` - Whoa, whoa, are you OK? - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - Hey, watch out! - Jeez. - That was rude. - Yeah. - What happened to all my hours? - Irene, I warned you what would happen. - I need those hours. You can't cut me back like this. - Yes, I can. And if you keep yelling at me, we can upgrade to a suspension. - This is ridiculous. - Three times, Irene, inventory has gone missing, not signed out, and you've been on duty every time. - That doesn't mean anything. - Yeah, well, you know, it's enough for me to cut back your hours and see if the problem stops. Now, is there anything else I can help you with? Or can I get back to doing my job? - Why start now? - Have a blessed day. You're suspended. A week! - (sighs) David! Do we have any more tea? - I think I drank the last one. - You drank my ginger pregnancy tea? - Uh, yeah. Didn't know it was pregnancy tea. Do you want me to go get more? - No. No, it's OK. You gotta pack. I gotta do these things myself. - OK, if you're sure. (dramatic orchestral music) - (groans) - You should try that red raspberry. Helps with delivery. - Oh, thank you. - Let me guess. 36 weeks? - 37. How did you know that? - I'm sorry. I'm a maternity nurse. I guess I'm just always on duty. - Oh. - I'm Katy. - I'm Tricia. So good to meet you. - Nice to meet you too. - So, red raspberry, huh? - Yeah. - Never heard of that. - Oh, yeah. You will thank me when the baby comes. Gets the lady parts ready. - Oh, that's important. - Yeah. (chuckles) It shortens labour. Just drink three cups a day. - OK. Well, thank you. - Hey, wait a second. Are you Yoga With Trish? - I am. Yeah. You watch my channel? - I'm a huge fan. My patients, they love your videos. - Oh my God! That's awesome! Thank you! - Sure. That must be Little Hope that you're always talking about. - Yeah, that's her, the, uh, little bowling ball that's been making yoga, oh-so-much-fun lately (!) - (laughs) I didn't know we had a celebrity in our neighbourhood. - Oh, please. No, I'm not a celebrity. - Yeah. - So, what street do you live on? - Mockingbird. - I live on Mockingbird. - (laughs) I'm 558. It's the blue house by the church. - Oh my gosh, my husband and I just moved in to 337 right down the street. - No way! I'm gonna give you my number. If you have any questions about anything just don't hesitate, OK? Maybe we could even get together some time. - I would love that. I don't know anybody here yet, so I'm gonna take you up on that. - OK, hope so. - OK. - And, you know what ` don't forget to drink that tea. That'll really help you out. - I'm going to. - OK, great. - Thank you. - It was good to meet you. - Yeah, good to meet you too! OK. (groans) (exhales sharply) (breathes heavily) - DAVID: Hey. - Hi. (grunts) (exhales) (sighs) - You OK? - Yeah. I'm just tired. I made a new friend today. - Oh, yeah? - Yeah. At the drug store. Her name is Katy. She lives in that blue house down the street. - Oh, yeah. - Oh! And she's a maternity nurse. - No way. - Yeah. - Well, maybe we can bribe her into helping out while I'm gone. - Yeah, don't think that thought didn't cross my mind. Do you think everything's OK? - You heard what Dr Rupp said. Why? Is something wrong? - No. - Cos, listen, babe, I can` I can still turn that job down. - No. No, no, no, no, no, no. That's... That's silly. I think it's just nerves, you know, I mean, I've never given birth to a watermelon before, so... - All right. Everything... is going to be great with our baby. I'm gonna leave. You're gonna get a nice break from your annoying husband. - (chuckles) - Then I'm gonna come back, and we're gonna start the most beautiful family this neighbourhood has ever seen. Huh? - Yeah, I'd like that. - Now, how about that private yoga lesson? - Oh, you still want that, huh? (chuckles) - Mm-hm. - DAVID: All right, I'll call you as soon as I land, all right? - TRICIA: Promise? - Yes, promise. I get in at 2am, so,... 7am? Yikes. - How are we gonna do this five-hour time difference? - Neither time nor 5000 miles will keep us apart. (both chuckle) - That was good. - That was really cheesy. - It was good. It was cheesy. - Super cheese. - But I like it. It's romantic. - Whenever you're ready. - Yeah, be there in a minute. OK, remember, if you're going to labour early, all right, I will hijack a plane and I will get back here on time, OK? - You better. (engine starts) Mm. OK. Go. Provide for our child. - I love you. - I love you too. Say bye! (sighs) (toy rattles) - DIGITAL VOICE: Here's the draw. (frog ribbits) - Daddy will be happy you're here. So Daddy's not landing for five more hours. Ah, we need to get some sleep. (suspenseful orchestral music) (groans) (gasps) (pants) (phone buttons click) (line rings) WHISPERS: Please pick up. Please pick up. (pants) Oh God. (phone beeps) OK. (grunts) OK. (pants) OK. (sniffles) (groans) (breathes heavily) (groans) (pants) Hi, Katy. It's Tricia. I need your help. (siren wails) Katy. - You're gonna be OK. - We got a 27-year-old female. Approximately eight and a half months pregnant. Two, three. Lift. ECHOES: So, you see, I've got an IV, it's about 200... - ECHOES: Thank you. What about cramp? - ECHOES: Is the baby OK? - ECHOES: How's your pain? Are you having any cramping? - Is my baby OK? Is` Is the baby OK? - Get that over to the lab. Stat. (overlapping voices) (machine beeps) - You're a lucky girl. - (gasps) (exhales) - You're OK. Your baby's OK. You lost a lot of blood. - What? - Your placenta is partially obstructing your cervix. It's causing the bleeding. - What does that mean? What do`? What am I`? What do I do? I gotta call my husband. I gotta call David. - I've already spoken to your husband. He tried calling you not long ago. - OK, what did you`? What did you tell him? - I told him that you are stable and everything's fine. What you had is called placenta previa. The good news is that it's not too close to your cervix, so we may not have to do C-section. - Oh thank God. OK. OK, is this, um... Is it dangerous for the baby? - No, not immediately, no. But you will need to take it easy for a couple of weeks. Any strenuous activity could be harmful for you and the baby. So, no stairs, no heavy lifting, as little physical activity as possible. - I don't know how I'm gonna do that. I'm taking care of myself. David's halfway across the world. I don't` - I've already called the Home Care office. They're assigning a nurse to help you until David gets back. OK? I promise you everything is under control. Hey, you're gonna have the best help. - OK. - You're in good hands. - Thanks. Oh God. (exhales deeply) - So, you said you needed the hours, right? - I do. But I was hoping to get back into a hospital. - Well, you should've thought about that before swiping medication. - Adele, you know I didn't do that. The charge nurse has it out for me. - Yeah, you told me that before, and here we are again. Unfortunately, Irene, I just can't get you back in a hospital. (sighs) I'll tell you what ` what I can do... is assign you to Tricia Rosen and get you paid. But if that doesn't interest you` - No, no. I'll take it. - Good. You'll need to pick her up from Milton General. - Milton? Are you kidding? - Don't worry. They're not gonna throw you out of the building. I just need you to pick her up and take her home. - Any chance I can have the night shift? - Sorry, I have to fill the day shift first, cos we're short-staff. - But you'll reassign me if you find someone? - If we get some day slots available, we'll let you know. - OK. I'll make it work. Thanks, Adele. - Irene, be nice to this one, OK? - I am always nice. (siren wails in distance) Don't get your panties in a twist. I'm just here for a pick up. Tricia Rosen? - Yeah. - I'm Irene. - Hi. Um... I don't know who you are. I'm sorry. - From the home care service. I'm here to get you home. - Oh, great. Thank you. - No need to thank me; just doing my job. Let's get our big-girl pants on and get dressed, shall we? - Take it easy. - (grunts) Thank you. (groans) Sorry about the mess and the boxes. We're still moving in. - I've cleaned more bed pans than you can count. Your dirty laundry isn't gonna bother me. (sighs) All set? - Yeah. Thank you. Actually, um, could I get a glass of water? Sorry, I don't know if you do that. I don't` I don't know how this works. - No, that's fine. I can do water. But let me be clear ` I'm your nurse, not your maid. Besides medical care, I'll make meals and do dishes. That's it. - OK. Yeah. Fair enough. - Good. I'll get your water. - (sighs) (water pours) (telephone rings) - TRICIA: Irene? - Yeah, I can do the phone too. Just give me a sec. (telephone rings) It's your husband. - Thank you. David? I know. I'm so sorry. No, I think my battery died. Yeah. No, no, no. I'm fine. No, we're fine. We actually, um... We just got home, and the nurse is taking care of me. We're all settled. No, no, no, no. I don't want you to do that. Everything is, uh` Everything is taken care of. OK? Look, I'd tell you, honestly. Yeah, yeah. I don't want you to worry about us. I want you to focus on what you're doin'. Yeah, we're OK. I will. It's kinda the only thing I can do right now. Yeah. I love you too. OK. Bye. (sighs) OK. (doorbell rings) - Hi. I was looking for Tricia. - Who are you? - Oh, I'm sorry. I'm Katy. I'm her neighbour-slash-friend. (chuckles) - Well, she's resting right now. - OK. I made her this zucchini and carrot casserole. So` - I'll see that she gets it. - Oh, you know, I'm gonna give it to her. I'm just gonna check on her. I'll just be a minute. OK? - Whoa, wait. - Thank you so much. - Hey, hang on. - KATY: Tricia? - Yeah, I'm in here. - Hi! Can I come in? - Yes, of course. Please. - OK. - Sorry. I told her you were resting. - Oh, it's OK. She can come in. She's the one that took me to the hospital. - Please, I just did what any nurse would've done. - You're a nurse? - Yeah. Maternity. Mostly home care. - Oh, so you know Adele. - Adele. - From the Home Care office? - Right. Yes. Adele, of course. You know, this casserole should really go in the fridge. I whipped you up some power food. - Oh, that's so nice. - Yeah. Would you be a dear and take this to the fridge? Please? - Do you mind doing that, Irene? I'm sorry. - Thank you. - Thank you, Irene. - She's a real ray of sunshine, huh (?) - Uh, she's a little stiff. - (chuckles) Yeah, a little. It's too bad. I mean, bedside manner is just as important as medical knowledge. - Yeah, I know. - I guess it's just hard to find good help, huh? - I guess. - So, is everything OK with the baby? - You know, I don't know. Yeah, uh, apparently I have something called placenta previa. - Oh no. Poor baby. - No, no, no. The doctor said I don't have to have a C-section, so that's good. - Yeah. - And that I don't have to be worried about it, because now they know. I just have to take it easy, I guess, before the delivery. - Well, good. - Is that true? I mean, is it OK? I mean, do I need to worry about this? - No, it's totally fine. The baby's gonna be totally fine. You don't have to worry. Yeah, you just rest. - That's good. - Wow. It's really pretty out there. - Yeah. I love this place. It's practically perfect except for there's no tulips! - Tulips? - Yeah. This place used to have tons of tulips. This is David's grandmother's house. - Oh. - Yeah. There is no tulips, so I was gonna plant some while I was pregnant, but obviously that's not gonna happen. Unless I can convince David to do it when he gets back. - David, that's your husband? - Yeah, yeah. He's great. He's, um, gone for the next two weeks, though. - Two weeks? He left you alone for two weeks? - Well, he had to. Hence, Irene. But that's OK. He'll be home soon. Oh, I never asked you. Are you married? - No. Sort of. (chuckles) It's complicated. - Oh. God, I'm sorry. - Oh, no. No, it's fine. It's just` We had bad timing. I better let you get back to resting. - OK. - I just came by to make sure everything's under control. - IRENE: It is. - Ah, great. - We're fine. - OK, great. - Thank you for stopping by. - You're welcome. I'm gonna come back and bring more power food soon. - OK, yeah. - Yeah. (chuckles) Yeah, I can see myself out, so it was really great to meet you. - Mm-hm. - Bye. - Bye. - (sighs) - (clears throat) - I'm sorry you got stuck with her. - Ah, she's not that bad. Actually, Irene's pretty helpful. You know, she's, uh` she's just not the most cheerful person. I wish she was more like Katy. - This Katy sounds like a godsend. - She really is. She's so great. Oh, you're gonna love her so much. I can't wait for you to meet her. You know, I actually think she's gonna stop over here a lot, at night-time, you know, when Irene's off. - Uh-oh. How's the, uh, ice queen gonna feel about that? - Oh, I think she'll be fine. I don't know. Katy's just a friend. She's just helping out. - Yeah, and also a rival nurse that could be stepping on Irene's toes, yeah. - I guess I hadn't really thought of that. - Babe, it's 2am. You better get to bed. - I know. I just didn't wanna get off the phone yet. But I guess you're right. - I miss you. - I miss you too. I love you. - Love you too. - OK, I'll talk to you soon. - Yeah, be safe. - Bye. (ominous orchestral music) (doorbell rings) - Hi. Me again. - I'm assuming you aren't just here to drop that off. - You assume correctly. You're not gonna make me force my way past you again, are you? Would you please just hold that for a second? Please? I just wanna... Here we go. Take this stuff off. Great. Thanks. Excuse me. - (sighs) (knocks on door) - OK, if I come in? - Hi, yes, of course. - Hey. Oh, how precious. This is perfect for a little girl. - Yeah. - Yeah. Aww. Ah! Go hedgehogs! (chuckles) - Yeah, that would, uh` that would be David's contribution to the nursery. Yeah, he, uh` - Aww. - Yeah, he's already decided Hope is going to UE like her daddy, so, guess we're gonna start it early. - That is so sweet. I got you a little something. - What? Aw! - (chuckles) - Well, I mean, technically it's for Hope, but, yeah, Macy's was just having a huge sale this weekend, and I just couldn't help myself. - You're so sweet. - (chuckles) It's nothing really. It's nothing. Ta-da! - Oh, wow! Katy. - I know. - Oh, that is so adorable. - I know. - Oh. Thank you. - You're welcome. - No, I mean that. Katy, thank you. For everything. You've just been doing so much. - Well, you're welcome. It's nothing. - I know, I just` I don't want you to feel like you have to keep stopping by here and wrecking your day. - It's not wrecking my day. It's fine. I want to. - Really? - Yeah. You're the only person I want to hang out with in this whole neighbourhood. - Really? - Yeah. Well, I mean, you're carrying precious cargo there. It'll be like offering, like, an extra set of hands every now and then, that's nothing. It's no big deal. - You love doing this, don't you? - Yes, I really do. - Well, it just means you're gonna be a wonderful mother someday. - Actually, I'm` I'm not, I... - What do you mean? - I can't have a baby. - Katy... - It's OK. It's OK. I was pregnant once years ago, but... I lost my baby. - Come here. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. - (sobs) - I'm so sorry. - It's OK. It's OK. Afterwards, the doctors told me I had something called balanced translocation, so I can get pregnant, but (sniffles) the chances of carrying a baby to term aren't good. - I'm really sorry, Katy. - It's OK. It was years ago, and then I got my job as a maternity nurse, and it helped so much because it's like every baby that I bring into the world, it's like I'm their mother too. (sniffles) - Yeah. - So I wanna help you, and it's not just because you need it, and you do. (both chuckle) - (sniffles) - But I need it too. - I can understand that. I am a hot mess. (both laugh) - I'm a mess too right now. Hey. - Hi. - Are you sick of this yet? - Umm, no. I like it. - Can I feel? Yeah? Hi. - No, she's over here. - (scoffs) (gasps) - That is too mean! - Well, it happens, I'm not the only one that is straining. - Hey! - I know just what you want right here, right now. - Oh, I think this is. - Drink more water. Get those giggles in. - (giggles) - (hums) - (chuckles) Wow. You are really burning the candle at both ends, aren't you? - I don't know what you mean. - You're here every morning when I get here. And every night when I leave, all without pay. I'm just curious. How does a nurse find herself with so much free time? - You know, I could ask you the same question. OK, I know you're not so fond of me being here. There's no need to be jealous. - Oh, I'm not jealous. - OK. If you say so. You know, if you actually tried to be... pleasant, maybe you'd find your patients more receptive to your help. - (scoffs) - Hey. - Hi. - More tea. - Oh gosh. You read my mind. (chuckles) - How you feeling? - You know, I don't know. I` Lately, I've just been feeling really... foggy. - (scoffs) That's just Mommy brain at work. That is completely normal. - Yeah? - Yeah. - OK, it just` It feels more than that. You know, like I feel like I can barely function. - Well, I mean, that's what I'm here for. I'm here to take care of you. You don't have to worry about anything. (gasps) That reminds me. Irene said it's time for your medication. Is it these over here? - Yeah, whatever those are over there. - OK. Oh my God. - What? - Are you`? Are you taking this Baclofen? - Yeah, I've been taking whatever's over there, like, like one a day. - How long have you been taking this? - I-I don't know ` about a week. Why? Is it bad for the baby? I didn't know that. - If it's just a week, it's OK because I caught it in time, but you should not be taking this. She should know better. - Oh my... - Are you new? She can't have these. - What? What's wrong? - Look at this date. These were prescribed before she was pregnant. - What? No, those weren't in the prescriptions I picked up. - Then how did they end up with the rest of her medication? - I don't know. - You don't know. I guess I'm gonna have to check all of them in case there's anything else you don't know that could harm her baby. This is exactly why I'm here so much. I guess I'm gonna have to keep an eye on everything you're doing. How about I report this to your supervisor? You think they're gonna let you stay on after that? That's what I thought. - DAVID: So... - OK, bye. - I love you. - (chuckles) OK. - Hey, I found you. I thought you might have made a break for it. - I tried, see how far my little legs could take me, but, uh, nice little vacation to the office. - (chuckles) Time for your medicine. You know, we didn't take 'em before. - Right. - Got distracted. Hey, is that David? - Mm. Mm-hm. - Aww. - Yeah, that's him. You just missed him. - Oh, yeah, yeah. I heard you guys talking. I just didn't wanna intrude. - No, please intrude. I want you guys to meet. - Oh, we can meet when he gets here in person. It's not like I'm goin' anywhere. (chuckles) - Hmm, true. Hey, thank you for catching that, and just keeping eye on everything. - Sure. - No, I really mean it. I mean, you've saved my life, and, God, I just don't know how I would get through this without you. - You don't think you would have survived under Nurse Ratchet's reign of terror. - Hmm, it might have been a little more difficult, but... (chuckles) Well, I'm here. And if she ever gets to be just too much for you to handle, I am a maternity nurse. Just sayin'. - No, I appreciate that. It's really sweet. But no, I don't` I don't think I can do that to her. Besides, I really do think it was just a honest mistake. I mean, it happens to the best of us. Oh. Can you do a favour for me? - Sure. - So, I went to the hospital for my check-up with Irene. And I left my phone there. - Oh, yeah. - I've been working on my laptop. But it's` it's` - Oh, yeah, I know. I get it. I can't go an hour without my phone. Irene wouldn't just go back and get it for you? - I asked her, and she said going back into Milton would be difficult or` - Really? - Yeah, something like that. I don't know. I didn't wanna press it. - Weird. Huh, yeah. No, I'll totally do that. - Really? - Yeah, oh, yeah. Absolutely. Are you done with these? - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - All right, then I'll go get that phone. - Thank you. - Sure. - You're the best. - What are you doing? - What do you mean? - I heard you talking to Tricia. - Wow. Eavesdropping. Another point in your column. - Are you trying to get me fired? - I'm trying to look out for an unborn child. Sorry if that conflicts with whatever you're trying to do. - Just stay out of my way. - No. You stay out of my way. You're lucky you're even still around here. But don't worry. You won't be for long. Excuse me. - (exhales) - Excuse me? Hey! A friend of mine came in yesterday for an appointment, and she thinks she left her phone. Her name's Tricia Rosen. She's a patient of Dr Rupp. - Yeah. We've been holding on to it for her. - Great. Thank you. - How do I know you're not just looking to score free phone? - (chuckles) You can call her if you want. Tricia Rosen. I think you know her home care nurse. It's Irene Warnick. - Ooh, her. - Yeah. (chuckles) She's really something, huh? - You have no idea. - Really? - After the stunt she pulled, I'm surprised she found work until her suspension is up. - Huh. She mentioned something about that, but she didn't really elaborate. What'd she do? - You know I can't tell you that. - Oh, yeah. But do you really wanna cover for somebody like her? I mean, she's taking care of my friend, so I really need to know. I mean, I get the confidentiality thing cos I'm a nurse too. You can tell me, you know, just one nurse to another. - Tricia, I'm here. What's going on? - Irene, were you suspended for stealing medication? - How did you`? You told her. - So it's true? Is that what you've been doing here? Have you been stealing from me, and then lying about it? - No. - Then how do you explain this? This bottle was half full when I threw it away yesterday. - It wasn't me. Tricia, you have to believe me. - No, this just isn't gonna work. - No, no. I haven't done anything. Tricia, you need someone to take care of you. - Yeah, she does. She has me. And I can be trusted to do my job. - Shut up. - OK. Irene, there's nothing left to talk about. I'm sorry. - Please, I know what this looks like, but I can't lose this job. Tricia, I'm taking care of my mother. She's sick and doesn't have insurance. I can barely afford the medication. - She's lying. That's disgusting. - Katy. - Do you think I like living like this? Having to steal to take care of my mother? Tricia, please. Please, don't report me. I can do better, I promise. Just please, please keep me on. - I'm sorry about your mom. I really didn't know. OK, maybe we can try to work something out. - Tricia! This is your baby's safety we're talking about. You don't know if she's telling the truth. Would you really risk your baby to someone you can't trust? - (sighs) I'm sorry, Irene. Katy's right. I-I can't trust you to take care of us any more. I'm gonna have to let you go. (sighs) - It's OK. - It's fine. (sighs) - (sobs) - Rachel? - I don't keep any drugs in there. - I wasn't` - Of course you were. (scoffs) You are really pathetic, you know that? - Look, I don't know what your deal is, but I promise you, I'm going to find out. - No, you're not. Wanna know why? Because you're a desperate, lying thief who can't afford to be out of work. And if I report you, I'm gonna make sure your nursing licence gets revoked. - (scoffs) Good luck taking care of your mom when nobody will hire you. - (gasps) You're a monster. - No. I'm just very protective. Don't... ever... show your face here... again. (door shuts) Hey. - Hey. - I know you're still feeling guilty, but it had to be done. - I know. I know. I just guess I just feel so bad for her. You know? - Don't. I mean, somebody like that shouldn't be allowed to take care of anybody. - I know. You're right. I know. - All right, but now that she's gone, I can finally make sure that you and Hope get the best care possible. - What are you talking about? - Oh, well, you're due a little over a week, right? So we want to make sure everything is set for Hope. - What is that? What are you doing over there? - It's a speaker. We're gonna play classical music on it, so that Hope can enter a soothing, familiar world. OK, and I got some prenatal supplements. These are fantastic. - What are they? - Don't make me pronounce them. You'll take 'em in the morning. OK. - Katy, is that a breast pump? - Yeah. (laughs) You want me to pump before I even deliver? - Well, if you can, so not all moms have milk before delivery, but anything you can do would be so fantastic for Hope, even if it's just a little bit. So, we'll give it a shot? - Katy, I don't think that's necessary. I don't even think that that's normal` - Tricia, I understand you're anxious. It's your first child. And I have helped hundreds of moms with their babies. I know what I'm talking about. Trust me. OK? - OK. - OK. All right, I'm gonna let you get started. I'll give you some privacy. I'll be right out here if you need me. (suspenseful orchestral music) (keys clack) (computer beeping) - Katy? - Hey. Hey, what's up? - Do you know what happened to the internet? - No. It's not working? - No, it's not. It just shut itself off. - Oh. Oh, I'll take a look. I'm not very technical, though, so bear with me. OK? - I just really need this. It's my only way to talk to David, and I really need to post on my channel, and, honestly, it's for my sanity. I feel so disconnected right now. - Don't be silly. You have me, but, you know, I will totally take care of that for you. OK? - Oh, did you get my cell phone when you went to the hospital? I completely forgot to ask you when Irene was here. - I asked. They didn't have it. I'm so sorry. But I'll keep asking in case they find it. OK? - OK. - OK. You get to pumping. - Adele! - Nah-uh! You just turn around. I don't have time for this right now. - Adele, listen to me. - No, you listen to me. I just got a call from Tricia Rosen. Said she had to let you go. Wouldn't tell me why, but she didn't sound too pleased. - (sighs) I knew you wasn't ready for another job. - No, I didn't do anything. - Just like you didn't do anything at Milton General to warrant a suspension. - (groans in frustration) - Irene, if you're looking for another job, you can forget it. - That's not why I'm here. - (sighs) - Actually, I need a favour. - Wow. I wish I had your optimism. - Please, this isn't about me. I'm worried about Tricia and her baby. She has this friend who's been helping around the house. Katy Lyle. A maternity nurse, but working off the clock. I have no idea why, but she's been trying to push me out since day one. And today I found this. - You found this? OK. An expired licence. - Not just that. Look at the name. She's been lying about who she is. Now, I'm guessing Katy Lyle won't pop up as a registered nurse anywhere. But I was wondering if you could check the system and see what comes up for Rachel Daumler? Come on, aren't you a little concerned? A woman posing as a nurse taking care of a mother and her unborn daughter? - (sighs) - Thank you. - It's not for you. It's for them. Hmm. - What? - Well, according to this, her licence isn't just expired. It's been revoked. (suspenseful orchestral music) - Oh God. - Katy. - I told you not to come back here. - You hypocritical little bitch! - Excuse me? - You heard me, Katy. Or should I call you Rachel? - I don't know what you're talking about. - I think you do. I looked up your file. Your licence was revoked over a year ago. - You're delusional. - You know what was listed under the reason? "Patient abuse and neglect". - I have heard enough. Leave now or I'm calling the police. - No, you're going to leave. The police are going to know that you've been practising without a licence. And first, Tricia is going to know who the real liar is. And you are never going to be alone with her again. (grunts) - Oh my God! (gasps) Oh. (sobs) (suspenseful orchestral music) OK. Oh. - What is she dragging? - Maybe it's a dead body. - (pants) (grunts) (sighs) (grunts) (pants) (telephone rings) - DAVID: Man, I can't believe you had to fire her. - Oh God, I know. I really feel bad about her mom. It was so awful. - Thank God Katy's there. I don't know what we would have done. - (sobs) - I'm so sorry I'm missing all this. I feel terrible. - No, babe. (scoffs) I'm the one that told you to go. And things with Katy are... good. - (breathes heavily) - Really? - Yeah. Mostly. I don't know. Actually, since Irene's been gone, she's been kinda... kinda different. - (sobs) - Oh, I really miss you. I hate that I can't see your face. - We miss you too. I know. I wish I could see you. This stupid internet is still down. Katy said she called someone, and I would try to fix it. It's just... - (sobs) Kinda feel like I'm on an island right now. - (sobs) - OK. You know what ` that does it. I'm getting on the next flight I can, and I'm coming home. - What? Babe. - Yeah, yeah. No, you're not going to talk me out of this. All right? I'll find someone to cover me for the last couple of days. Not gonna risk missing our daughter being born. - OK, OK. Well, then I can't wait to see you. - (breathes heavily) - I love you. I'll see you soon. - I love you too. OK? - OK. - I'll see you soon. Bye. - Bye. (phone beeps) - Katy? Katy? (crickets chirp) - Hi. - Hi. Oh my gosh. I have the best news. That was David, and he's coming home tomorrow. I know. So you can get back to your life. - Wow, that's great. - Yeah, yeah. Oh. What, uh` What happened to you? - I was, I was gardening. I planted your tulips. - You were gardening? In the middle of the night? - Yeah, yeah, I just, you know, I just needed something to do, and I` those tulips needed to be planted. - OK. Um... Are you, uh` Are you doing OK? - Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm sorry. I'm just kinda just feeling a little anxious, you know, about the baby coming, and that's silly, but, I just, I keep thinking about my baby. It's just so unfair to have something that's such a big part of you just taken away like that. - Kate, I'm` I'm so sorry. - It's OK. I'm OK now. Because for the first time since I lost my daughter, I feel hopeful. - Well, that's good. - I'm gonna go to the store. I need to pick some stuff up. And you need to rest. - You're gonna` You're gonna go to the store right now? - Yeah, yeah. Well, I gotta get some stuff, and you need to rest. You need to stay in bed. You don't wanna do anything to risk the baby this close to labour. - Katy, I have like a week left. It's OK. - Doctor's orders. I'm just gonna charge this, OK? Rest time. (telephone rings) - Katy? (suspenseful orchestral music) - ANSWERING MACHINE: Hi, you've reached the Rosens. Leave us a message and we'll get back to you as soon as possible. (machine beeps) - Hi, Tricia. This is Adele over at the Home Care office. I just wanted to call and apologise about everything that happened with Irene. I'm sure Irene has talked to you by now. But as I haven't heard from her, I just wanted to make sure everything was OK with Rachel, or Katy, whatever she was calling herself. Please, call me back. A nurse who lost her licence due to patient abuse should not be your only option. Give me a call, and we'll make sure you get the help` - Hello, Adele! (dial tone beeps) Please, no, no. Please. Katy, what is she talking about? - I told you not to get out of bed. - I don't understand. - I have been making a lot of sacrifices for this baby. I have been doing things that I did not wanna do. - What are you talking about? - And now David's coming home, we have even less time to work with. I've tried to speed things along. The tea, the pumping ` none of it's working. - What? Were you drugging me? - Nothing that would hurt Hope. - Why? Why are you doing this? I don't` - This is what any good mother would do. - What is this? Stop, no! Why? Stop it! (grunts) - (grunts) Stop! - (Tricia groans) (kettle whistles) - If you scream for help or try to struggle, I will cut her out. Do you understand? Do you understand? - (sobs) - What's happening? Why am I having contractions? (breathes heavily) - It's Pitocin. Shouldn't be long now. - What? No, Katy, you can't do this! She's a week early! Please, don't do this! She's not ready! She's not ready. - She's fine. She's my little miracle baby. - Have you lost your mind? What are you talking about? She's not your baby. - I have not lost my mind! She is my baby! I deserve her! I need her more than you! You have no idea what it's like to lose a daughter. You have no idea what it is like to deliver baby after baby after baby, and no matter how much love I gave every single one, I would have to hand it over to somebody else! No matter how little they deserved it! And then they all turned on me. They said I was too attached. They accused me of abuse and neglect! I got my licence revoked! - (Tricia pants) But you know what? Not this time. It's my turn. I'm finally gonna have my baby. Push! - (Tricia screams) - (Hope coos) - Hi! Oh! Such a sweet little angel. - (Hope coos) - You are absolutely perfect. Are you hungry? Oh no. It's OK. Mommy will take care of it. OK? I'll be right back. - (gasps) (groans) (sobs) Oh, you ready? You ready to eat? Oop. Oop! There we go. (hums) Oh my goodness. You're so perfect. (sniffles) - (sobs) - I love you. Yes, I do. It's nothing.

Tricia? - (muffled grunting) - Are you in bed? - (Tricia screams) David! David! - Oh my God! Trish, what the... - She has her. - What? Who, who? - Katy. She took Hope. I don't know where she went. You have to find her. - Your friend that was helping` - Yes! - OK, why? - I don't know. - KATY: Because I'm her mother. Hi, David. - Rachel? - It's been so long. - Wait a second. You guys know each other? - Yeah, yeah, we dated` we dated in college. What the hell are you doing here? - It's a miracle. We finally get another chance. - Wait. Your miscarriage. David, you were the father? - Yeah, it's taken 10 years to put our family, this family back together. When I heard you're having another little girl, I knew it was a sign. - OK, this is crazy. You're crazy, all right? Give us our daughter. Give us our daughter! - What are you talking about? She's our child. This is our chance. This is our chance for us to be together. You and me and Hope ` we all go` we go together. We can leave right now. We can have the life that we always wanted to live. David, this is it. - Katy, please, I'm begging you. Please, do not hurt her. - I would never hurt her. - Then put her down, please. Just put her down. We can talk about this. All right? Just give me my daughter. Give me our daughter. OK. - David. It's OK. You can go with her. You need to. It's the only way. And you can't abandon her. She needs her father. You have to go. - OK. - Katy, please, can I hold her? Please, let me hold her. Just once. I have to say goodbye. You can understand that. - OK, just untie one arm. Just` Just one arm. Then we'll go, OK? - Thank you. - I know. - Bring her` Bring her to me. - Step back please. Just for a minute. - (Hope coos) - Hi! - (sobs) Katy, I understand why you did this. I get it. It was for her. I know. David, you can't abandon her. It's the only way. - Are you sure? - She needs her father. - OK. OK. Uh, well, I mean, I'm sorry. - Yeah. - You know, I took so long for our family to finally get back together. - This doesn't matter now. - And I'm so sorry. - (Katy screams) - (Hope cries) - (Katy grunts) - David! No! No! - (sobs) - Did you kill him? - (Hope cries) - (sobs) - It's fine. We don't need you. You did the important part. I can take care of her by myself. - No! Leave her. - No. You can have David. But she is mine. - No, no! Katy! (sobs) - OK. It's OK. Oh, it's OK. Oh no. - (Hope cries) It's OK. It's OK. It's OK, sweetie, angel. It's OK. Oh, I know. It's OK. It's OK. There you go. All snug and tight. - (Tricia sobs) I'll find you! (sobs, screams) I'll find you! (Tricia screams) (breathes heavily) (grunts) - Hi. - David, you alive? Are you OK? (sobs) You're alive! You're OK. (keys jingles) (car alarm blares) - (screams) - (breathes heavily) (both grunt) - You can't take her away from me! (grunts) No! (screams) - (Tricia breathes heavily) It's OK. (Hope coos) (door opens) David, it's all right. - DAVID: Thank God. - ON LAPTOP: Hey, ladies, I'm sorry. No video today. Um, I know you've been wondering where I've been. And I wanted to say thank you for all of your emails and your comments. They mean the world to me. I feel very loved. It's been a rough couple of weeks, to say the least, but the most important thing is that my baby girl is born. And she's happy, and she's healthy and mommy spent way too much time in bed, so it's time to start living. But we'll be back next week. And in the meantime, just remember that everything you need, your courage, your strength and your love is always inside of you. Namaste. (sighs) - (Hope coos) - (whispers) - How you doing, buddy? Hmm? - Hi. - Hi. - Aw, I can't stop looking at her. - Yeah, me neither. (both sigh) - What are we gonna tell her when she asks about the day she was born? - (chuckles) Well, I think we'll tell her the truth. And we'll tell her that she was worth every little bit of it. (sighs) Oh, hello. Hello. You want a brunch day with daddy? - The usual spot? Huh? - Say, 'Yeah, Dad. Always.' - OK, I'll go make some tea. - OK. Hey, anything but red raspberry. We don't like red raspberry, do we? No. No. - Tulips are coming in nice. - Oh, yeah. Guess it's the one nice thing she actually did for us. - Yeah, they look great.
