never thought i'd be telling you this especially now but you're about eight weeks pregnant well like how can i'm too old i can't be i can't be are you still having periods yeah but sometimes i go for months you're still ovulating so you can still get pregnant i'm gonna have you meet with dr chang he specializes in high risk pregnancies high risk there's a one in four chance the baby will be born with an abnormality dr chang can run a test called a cvs how about one of those um amnio things well uh cvs can be done earlier so there's more time to make decisions i suppose i should ask if you and john want this child john we never talked about it as a matter of fact we never really even thought about it i'm gonna set up the appointment with dr chang and you talked to john be fine margaret i don't know if congratulations are in order but congratulations [Music] so hi hi i was just thinking about coming upstairs i thought maybe we could take a nice long hot bath together i saw dr davis today ah this doesn't sound good no no it's not bad actually it's it's it's not good either um in fact i don't know what it is well i won't either unless you tell me i'm pregnant [Laughter] are you all right yes i'm fine i'm pregnant but i'm fine i was wondering how you'd take it well i'm stunned that's how i'm taking i'm i'm just glad you're okay you are okay aren't you you're not just telling me that i am fine dr davis wants me wants us to go and see dr chang an obstetrician oh good yeah all right okay we should get this taken care of right away oh could we just keep this between us though i i don't want the kids to know i just hear them no i don't want to hear them oh john listen to me listen to me everything is going to be okay i'm so glad you're with me [Music] andy mom said you were coming got fired huh i wasn't fired my company's restructuring so i thought i'd look around what are you doing here i wanted the girls to spend more time with the family nice wheels thanks so old

there but you can sleep downstairs well i'm not sleeping on that couch bit well then you're gonna have to get used to the smell of my feet well just remember i'm here on business all right i won't be sleeping till noon and laying around the house all day this isn't vacation for me oh well i'll try to keep that in mind sir well uh cvs is normal you were carrying a healthy male fetus well that's good news how rare is a pregnancy like this it's rare but with changes in attitude towards health and better medical care it happens but there are still many things that could go wrong for the fetus as well as yourself such as for margaret there is a chance of developing high blood pressure and blood sugar problems having a miscarriage or going into premature labor are definite concerns if you decide to take this pregnancy to term your heart and lungs will be monitored and you will require more frequent office visits i understand and if you decide to terminate the pregnancy that should be done during the first trimester you have a few weeks right if you have any further questions please don't hesitate to call me thank you doctor okay well that was good news yeah i think we got to get this over with right away you know what we could take danny in andrew's room and make it into a nursery no the girls room was closer that would be easier to convert margaret hello you listening to me did you listen to dr chang we're not taking any chances where your health is concerned i'm in great health the baby and i are both fine no margaret there are a lot of things that could go wrong that's what he said john this is your son i'm carrying well that means something to me honey you're the only thing that means anything to me and you're all i'm worried about oh don't worry everything's fine no one is gonna hire a woman that they know has to leave in six months and you shouldn't feel obligated to tell them hey what do i have to say to get through to you whoever you are you're saving me from a lecture nick hi hi come in how did you find out where i live your driver's license remember i think you owe me an apology for what for dumping on me the other night get a grip you thought you were gonna wake up in my bed we just met what makes you think i wanted to sleep with you a woman knows well disconnect your intuition from your ego i'm just gonna go clean out the kitchen cabinets or something so are you gonna apologize as soon as you apologize for giving me the ticket you're being a pain anne shut up and clean cinderella if you broke the law all i did was ask you to dance now i think you owe me lunch i am not buying you lunch oh yes you are because i need some peace and quiet move now and put on something nice pregnant women i swear i hope i never deal with another see what

you're not listening to me again i am listening to every word you're saying i don't want to have an argument in the backyard for the kids to hear us sweetie i'm worried about what this pregnancy could do to you well i'm very appreciative of the fact that you're worried which you know hey have you filled that office position yet that angela left no what about mary huh you know she's a good worker and oh would she be grateful for john no i don't know i'm a nice family and i demand a lot for the people that work for me hey you guys guess what john's giving me a job you really are honey thank you john well this calls for a toast oh just water for me thanks make make that two waters what are you pregnant too so here is to the working women in the family cheers what's going on here oh the doctor

the one who didn't want to tell them uh hello we're still here i am pregnant well um here's to that i've already had my two took me years to get my figure back but your mother wasn't making a joke uh this can't be you're too old obviously not what about complications in the baby's health mom you don't want a baby a jury i think that's mom's decision think about this long and hard mom you just got rid of us then why are you still here i think this family needs to learn the difference between an announcement and a discussion this was an announcement it's not up for discussion got that yes we're looking for andrew becker what is this regarding i'd rather talk to mr becker about that mary who's there are you andrew becker could be maybe why well we received some papers from the courts of

told me maybe we could have avoided this i thought you uh needed a little bit more excitement in your life i'm not gonna take away my girls no they're not [Music] do we ever really know the people we're in love with i will otherwise there's a lot of married people out there waiting for a rude awakening [Music] i i was married really twice you were married twice well either you're a lousy judge of character you're hell on wheels a little about your sister tells me you're a creampuff yeah ignore her she's heavily stated [Music] you ever been married nope you ever been kissed twice how does that compare with the other kisses well they weren't near as good but lasted a lot longer you have to be patient so why'd you become a cop to me women my uncle who raised me as a cop i liked what it was about your folks dead no my mother's in los angeles my don't know [Music] when i divorced i moved here to live with my uncle neither of my folks were ready to be parents my dad was like that thank god for my mom [Music] i will always keep you guessing [Music] what are you doing oh i was gonna change because anne's bringing her new boyfriend over for dinner look what i found i haven't had this on since i was carrying a and i'm back in style margaret could we talk about this pregnancy how is mary working out great margaret we have to do this now we are nearing the end of the trimester john john this baby's a part of us having your son is it's a gift and just think how much we can give him you know when i raised my i was all alone this time i'll have you honey if you want to have a child we could talk about it we can adopt in the future after we've done some of the things we want to do but i am not willing to risk something happening to you now we can't adopt i'm too old i won't qualify this is our only chance john i didn't plan on this happening but it did i don't want to turn my back on it i'm pro-choice you know well i've made mine you know when we got married i thought the emphasis was going to shift from you and me to us you're still doing what you want to do not what's best for us well what about you margaret the risky part of the pregnancy is coming up i am worried about you about us this is gonna change our lives i thought you were happy with what we wanted for our future i don't know maybe we didn't know each other as well as we thought when we got married well i guess marriage does just bring a lot of surprises you you have to deal with them no margaret we have to deal with them and you're not making that possible [Music] wait a minute you met ann giving her a ticket your bad driving finally paid off huh have you ever shot somebody jersey no i haven't the night's still young though oh sorry i'm late i had to clean out some old files okay everybody let's sit up dennis come on to dinner nick yeah sit here next to ann yeah i thought we'd just sit him in the other room with a tv tray no honey we're saving that for you just in case it's nice to see she acts this way at home too i don't know if nice is the right word nick but she's consistent mom here's a check for room and board oh honey that's not necessary it is for me oh i guess it is for me too andy i gave mom a check because i think it's right if you have a guilty conscience do you guys mind uh we have company mom i'll give you money tomorrow i never asked either of you for money no if he's paying i'm paying i'm not gonna have denny accuse me of freeloading i didn't say anything about you you guys are upsetting your mother we're not upsetting her he has a chip on his shoulder i have a chip on my shoulder now you come strolling in here boys watch this i don't want money from either of you now got it fine now i know what you must have felt like when mom had you meet us and whose fault was that anne don't start denny mary what's the matter i was just thinking my baby's gonna have these jeans [Laughter] now she thinks she's having rosemary's baby john come here look at this i'm losing my waistline no margaret i'm tired of letting you manipulate me you're doing exactly what you want in spite of what the doctor said not to mention how i feel but the baby and i are both fine john raising my family was the biggest fulfillment of my life marrying you was the biggest fulfillment of my life i didn't mean that as a slight i just meant that raising my kids was something i'm really proud of and they run rough shot all over you making your decisions for you and you let this child do the same what the hell is left for us i'm sorry it wasn't fair margaret honey let's face facts you're a grandmother and basically you'll be this child's grandmother is that fair but john we can give this child love and a good home and education do you think it's fair not to welcome him into our lives not with the way you forced it on us not with the risks that are there for you for the child not with what we had planned for our lives and there's no way we can even discuss anything with your kids here all the time there's no time for us anymore john what are you doing i'm not a part of this a part of what a part of this decision a part of this family i feel like a guest in a house that was supposed to be ours your kids including this one have taken over our lives where are you going i don't know someplace where i can think i can't do that here are you leaving i don't count in any of this why stay listen you walk out that door you don't need to come back until you're ready to accept both me and the baby [Music] my [Music] foreign [Music] why don't you let me call him for you i wasn't thinking of him now you've been thinking of him for the past six weeks you'd feel better if you talk to him i don't need to talk to john john needs to talk to me i get out of here before i use this on you i mean it ann's right you pregnant women are a menace i need a favor i uh sold my condo and i need to borrow your truck so i can move out my personal stuff i mean like uh a notched headboard in your little black book right uh the headboard stays i sold the place furnished but i think if i get some help i could slide the little black book into the back of your truck yeah i don't know this truck's a pain breaks down a lot i'm the only one who can fix it forget it figure something else out daddy i'll take it i think i'm gonna have to take the shell off to get the book in very good everybody rest take a break how am i doing coach oh you're doing great don't go by me though you know when i had you kids they knocked me out which isn't a bad idea this is a lot of work oh it'll be worth it i'm glad you asked me to be your coach i was gonna ask anne but i haven't seen her much lately you're not complaining no practically i have the whole place to myself i know how that feels oh mom i don't like seeing you like this and i'm sure john is just as lonely in that little apartment i didn't throw him out you know he left i know i also know how hard it's gonna be for me my baby doesn't even have a father i'm terrified of every decision i make i didn't have a partner for a lot of the time you were growing up you came out okay one out of four ain't bad right but mom you have john and no offense but if i had a husband i'd rather be lying in his lap talking to him right now well i would rather be talking to a husband too but that's just not the way it is it's just you and me kid with our waddle walks and our weak bladders and our craving for rocky road ice cream uh-oh okay everybody ready for some more breathing yeah why not i haven't breathed this hard
