I thought my mom would
have let my dad move back

by now.

My old man
split when I was 10.

It was the same after as before.

Not for me.

Love me, leave me

Darling, you want me

Please me, tease me

Hug and caress me

Feel me, touch me

Never release me

I'm your forever girl

Love me, need me

Tell me you want me

If my dad wanted
to live with us again,

I think I would like...

Does your brain ever
hurt thinking so much?

Feel me, touch me

Never release me

I'm your forever girl

When I see you walking away

Do you think I disappear?

Is it clear to you

Why I think this way

When it's losing you I fear

Maybe your pain...

Don't say you love
me if you don't.

Anyway, you
can't say what you need

You want me to confide in

Love me, need me

Tell me you want me

I'm you forever girl

Forever girl

Please me...

Stop feeding him!

Mom, Rachel's letting Angus beg.

Blabbermouth.

It's not sanitary.

Neither is your room.

Girls, quit arguing.

Rachel, please do not
chew with your mouth full.

If she tried
that, she'd never...

Adam, your
breakfast is ready.

Angus!

Come on, Rachel, don't feed him!

Tina, please hurry.

Do not miss your bus.

Because you can't
feed him off the table.

How come Adam gets
to live with dad?

Because he is messing up.

Adam, get down here!

Joan.

Hello, Evie.

Sorry.

OK, anybody been by yet?

Well, no one you
like, just Norman.

Oh, great.

Oh, before I look at
inspection assignments,

could I have a see at
any pending violations?

Good morning, Evie.

That new nursery just
off the interstate

still hasn't complied with
the correct ramp width yet.

Now I talked to the
contractor on Friday,

and he claims that the work will
be done before the final notice.

I'll make sure it is, OK?

Yeah, here.

Thank you.

Oh, no, no, no, no.

Then, should
I start all over?

Oh.

Oh, let me see!

Thank God.

I saw him.

He's very cute.

He's so cute.

Oh, my god.

Let me see that.

I said, "I hope Tina can make
it through her 15th birthday

without Cal."

Can you?

I don't know.

He really broke my heart.

And I asked Cal on Friday...

OK, I told Cal on Friday
to deal with Adam.

I mean, the kid lost his
job at Parks and Recreation,

and it was a volunteer position.

And then suddenly
I realized, you

know, I didn't
want them together,

having pizza for breakfast,
making him laugh,

shooting hoops together.

You don't want
Cal to have any fun?

No, I want him to suffer.

At least you've
got your girls at home.

Yeah, like, that's a break.

You know, they've been fighting
with each other even more

than usual.

You'd feel worse if you
didn't have them to annoy you.

I wish Laurie would move back
home, let me worry about her

and Allison.

She's stubborn.

Yeah, well, that's a
sign of independence.

Supposed to mean you
were a really good mom.

I don't care what they call me
if I could just get along better

with Laurie.

We can call Christie's
mom when you get home.

And if she says it's OK...

All set, Adam?

Look, Mom, it's no biggie.

I'll still help you out
with the trash and stuff.

I'll look after your
car magazines for you.

Dad, we're going
to be late again.

This is all right with you?

As long as Adam doesn't
walk in on you and Leanne.

It's over, Evie.

I told you that.

Look, I'd never... I'd
never let the kids visit

if I was still seeing her.

I thought you wanted me to
help straighten Adam out.

Maybe you should try and
straighten yourself out first.

Oh, Evie, for God's sake.

Let's not drag
God into this, Cal.

Come on, Dad.

Let's go.

Got your toothbrush?

Deb, can
you give us a ride?

Come on, guys, let's go!

Moving out!

Don't forget!

Let's go!

Hi.

Let's ride.

That's crazy.

Yeah.

Here you go.

Oh, that's good.

That was freaking cool.

Give me some.

Oh, look.

You first.

Me next.

You guys want to take off?

We got to talk.

Uh-huh.

I'll catch you later.

Let's go, guys, out.

All right.

Where's everybody going?

I got rid of him so we
could be by ourselves, just

you and me.

Don't, no... that's
not what I meant.

Look, we got to slow
this thing down.

Coach told me he'd
give me another chance.

Oh, that's so great.

I'll cheer for you
at all the games,

and I'll try out for
cheerleading next...

I want to chill a little.

I can't hang out with
you right now, comprende?

For how long?

I don't know, just...

through football
season, I guess.

I thought we were going
to be together forever.

Look, July to October,
that's almost forever for me.

It's not like I'm
seeing anybody else.

I'll talk to you later.

Ray, come on, man.

What you doing?

We're waiting for you.

We got to go.

They're having a sale.

Over there.

Do you like this?

You know, they...

Laurie, come here.

I've got to talk to you.

What's going on?

What's the matter?

Is that guy Ray?

Did you guys break up?

I thought we'd be together
for a really long time.

Now he doesn't want
to hang out so much.

He says it's like
football season.

You're not pregnant, are you?

No!

Are you sure you're OK?

Yeah, I'm fine.

I skipped my period last
month, but when I told Ray,

he said he'd never leave me
because he loved me so much.

Thank God I got it today.

Did you guys use condoms?

Once, in church group.

Reverend McClay said if
you use birth control,

it's really bad because
then you're admitting

you're planning to do it.

So you didn't bother?

I thought I was finally
going to have a real boyfriend

for my birthday.

That's really good.

That's... yeah.

Hi, baby.

Allie, your mom's here.

Hi, Laurie.

You ready to go?

Mama's so glad to see you.

Let's go home.

Thank you.

Come on.

All right.

- Bye-bye.
- I got your rain coat.

Hi.

Bye-bye.

Say bye-bye.

Be gentle.

OK, Allie, we'll be home soon.

My stomach still feels
kind of jumpy, Laurie.

I don't know why.

I really hate looking fat.

Do you think Ray will,
like, really want me back

after football?

I want my Mommy!

Can you try and do
something for her, Tina?

I want my Mommy!

Aw, it's OK.

I want my Mommy!

Mom's right here.

Don't worry.

I want Mommy!

But He
is our childhood's pattern

Hi, Mom.

Day by
day, like us He grew

He was little,
weak, and helpless

Tears and smiles like us He knew

And He feeleth for our sadness

And He shareth in our gladness

Hello.

How is the Spangler
clan, Calvin?

Huh?

Tina's voice is a
gift from the angels.

Well, thank you, Reverend.

You're welcome.

CHOIR Where
a mother laid her baby

In a manger for his bed

Hey.

Cal, what are you doing here?

I came to pick them up.

It's my turn.

You brought them, I get them.

OK, honey, I'm sorry.

I'm...

I've got to take Adam home.

He promised to do...

I'll pick Adam up later.

Just scoot over a second.

Let me sit down till the
Reverend stops watching.

Tina, did you borrow
my baggy pants again?

You call those baggy?

Shut up.

All righty, then.

Shut up!

Are we kind of overreacting?

Stop it, you two!

Adam, I do not know what
you are talking about.

But Tina, I'm telling you, you
are not borrowing my things

again without asking.

I won't borrow them again, OK?

I promise.

I didn't have
anything else to wear.

Well, maybe you should
try helping with the laundry.

Now why do you think Tina
doesn't want to have a birthday

party?

Because she doesn't
have a boyfriend.

Well, that is ridiculous!

She's too young for a boyfriend.

Don't yell at me.

I don't want one, ever.

You mean you're going
to stay perfect for me

even after you
become a teenager?

Surprise!

Oh, happy birthday, honey.

I remember
the night you were born.

I was so excited.

What was Daddy doing?

Well, he stayed by
your side for 24 hours.

And the nurse got
really agitated.

Open the presents.

Oh, it's from Daddy.

It's beautiful.

Oh, Mom, is this one from you?

Now, gray is as close to
black as I'll go for 15.

I love it!

Happy birthday, honey.

I'm going upstairs
to put it on.

OK.

I'll get it!

I've got to go!

Tina, what's going on?

You're going to miss your bus.

I already did!

I'm just hanging out with Dad.

Please, wait and drive me?

Oh, honey, that
is really cute.

But aren't you
supposed to tuck it in?

If I can't wear it the way I
want to, you can have it back.

Topic this morning,

teenage pregnancy
reaching epic proportions.

Shirley from
Beaverton, you're on.

Good morning, Larry.

You know, I just wanted
to say that in my day,

children were not
allowed to have babies

in the seventh
and eighth grades.

Well, what happened to them

if they did get pregnant.

Shirley?

Well,
that's just my point.

They never did.

I mean, maybe
there was one girl,

but she was already in the
12th grade and got a really bad

reputation on account...

Tine... have you or
anybody you know, or you...

been sexually active?

How old were you when
you first had sex?

20.

Why?

Because I don't know if Tina
just admitted having sex herself

or just knowing girls that do.

You're surprised?

Yes!

I mean, I thought maybe
these pimply little boys just

stuck their tongues
down girls mouths

or felt around under
their sweaters,

but actually making love?

Where have you been?

Remember Laurie?

Laurie was 17 and
whole lot more mature.

Almost 17, and I don't call
getting pregnant "mature."

You know, I don't believe you.

Don't you remember
how I cried about it?

Yeah.

Well, look how well
she's handling it.

As a
salesgirl at the mall,

taking a couple of
courses at Van Buren.

Do you think that's all
Laurie is capable of?

That is my point.

Laurie is smart.

She is focused.

She will make
something of her life.

Tina has always been immature.

She has never done
well in school.

If Laurie is so
smart, then how

come she graduated
with an infant?

If she hadn't had the baby,
there's no telling what she...

How can you say that?

That is murder.

Because I don't think it is.

I love Allison to pieces.

But if Laurie wasn't saddled
with a two-year-old right now,

she'd be living out
one of her dreams.

I don't know.

I thought I was OK, but
then it was spotty and only

lasted two days.

That's OK, Tina.

That's why we're here.

I don't know how
I really could be, but...

I don't know.

Look, we'll find out for sure.

Oops.

Here we go.

Any time soon.

Stay tuned.

When we come back, we'll be
joined by Channel 3's own Lida

Lee with 10 great ideas for
family fun this weekend.

Does she always go that much?

It's just poop.

What does she eat?

Applesauce, mostly, pureed
vegetables, breast milk

at night.

Life,
what a beautiful choice.

What a
beautiful crock.

The guy's really cute.

Oh, yeah.

When I had Allison, I didn't
get a handsome hunk or a field

of flowers.

Tina Spangler?

This is Lida Lee...

Hi, Carmela.

This is my friend Tina.

The first
step we have for you, a fall...

You got to tell him.

Ray already, like,
totally disappeared.

I left three messages
at his house.

Every thought I had since
July was about me and him,

and all the things
we'd do together.

Now, what do I get?

I don't know.

One of these?

Let me see your
tootsies for a second.

Mm.

Where are the girls?

What's all the mystery?

It's five weeks since
I've even seen Laurie.

And all of a sudden, she and
Tina had to cook us dinner.

I want to
go out the back door!

I want to go out the back door!

Oh, here comes
precious angel.

She looks wonderful, honey.

Aw.

But isn't her
ribbon too tight?

Stop fussing with her, Jane.

Well, it's
pulling her hair.

Look, leave her alone.

I know how to dress my own baby.

You better start talking.

I can't take much more of this.

I'm pregnant.

Hello?

We're
in real trouble now.

You better get over here.

I'm sorry
to let you down, Daddy.

No, no, no.

I didn't mean to hurt you.

Shh.

I know.

I know.

It's OK.

You're still my little girl.

And I'll stand by
you no matter what.

I know you've got a paper due,
so I brought my astrology book

to look up the baby's sign.

Cancer, I think.

She's sleeping.

We have to be quiet.

What am I going to do?

You didn't tell Ray yet?

You don't have to have it.

I would never do that!

I think that's the most
horrible, wrong gross thing you

can do!

OK, just stop shouting,
because if she wakes up,

we're finished, totally.

You could give the
baby up for adoption.

Why didn't you?

I'm not really sure.

I wish I had never
slept with Ray.

When I think of, like,
how it was, I mean,

everybody must be lying
about it, because I thought

it hurt a whole lot.

He kind of pushed me into it.

But I totally wanted to, partly
just to get it over with.

Will I have to give up soccer?

Does she always do this?

Try every other day.

What do you think?

Oh, God, try to
go back to sleep,

Allie, just a little
longer, please.

I don't care what Mom said.

What did you say?

I said, still planning on
singing your solo in church

tonight?

Things aren't bad enough around
here without you messing up.

You're not exactly
the top of the food chain.

All righty, then.

Why don't you move in some unwed
mothers' home or something?

Then I can move back from
Dad's and take over yours.

Stop it!

Tina, it's not his fault!

You should have told us instead
of making Mom and Dad do it.

How do you expect me
to face my teen group?

Everything isn't
about you, Rachel!

How could it be?

Everything's always about you!

You'll probably get away with
more now that you're pregnant.

Maybe that sympathy
stuff works on Mom and Dad,

but don't expect us
to feel sorry for you.

Come on.

What do you think was
going to happen hanging out

with that greaser?

Your forever girl

Love me, need me

Tell me you want me

Please me, tease me

Hug and caress me

Feel me, touch me

Never release me

I'm your forever girl

Love me, leave me

Tell me you love me

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry I sinned.

Feel me, touch me

Never release me

I'm your forever girl

Tina?

Come down for lunch.

Are you all right?

I can't go to
church tonight, Mom.

I can't sing.

Just tell everybody I...

I got the flu, please.

I don't want you in
the house by yourself.

Then you'll have to hire a
sitter to watch me and my baby.

When you were little, I
could always tell your cry,

even on the playground,
from all the other children.

How did this happen?

How could you get kissed
and me not even know it?

I didn't
do it to hurt you.

Hey, Mom, look at this!

Adam!

I'll get it.

Angus!

Angus!

You can watch your
game upstairs, Adam.

I was getting ready
to practice the piano.

No, spank you!

I should have stayed at Dad's.

Mom!

Move it.

It's Grandma!

Who wants to talk first?

Me!

Angus!

Don't tell
her, Mom, please!

And don't let Rachel or
Adam tell her either!

You don't have
to worry about me.

But Dad probably
already told her.

You know how nosy she is.

Tina?

Rachel, go upstairs and
check on your sister.

I don't want to.

I'm hungry.

Angus!

Merry Christmas, Ms. Spangler.

I'm Ray Wood.

How are you doing?

How am I doing?

Is, uh, Tina here?

We are having
Christmas dinner.

You can come back and
see Tina tomorrow.

Who was at the door?

Your friend Ray.

I told him to come
back tomorrow.

How could you?

You had no right!

Under the circumstances,
I have every right.

Ray!

Ray!

I'm still trying to figure out
why after years of sex education

and Tina going to
church her entire life,

she still knows nothing
about safety or sin.

When Walter
died, Laurie was 8,

so I rationalized it was
not having a man around.

When he died, I'd hold her
so badly, she caved right in.

I don't know about Tina.

Cal's always been a
tender dad to her.

He's been great with her,
never critical or judgmental.

Right from the start,
when we left your house,

he came right over.

He told her how he felt.
So sensitive, so kind.

Once upon a time, he
treated me that way.

Maybe he will again.

That's why I never remarried.

Not that there
were so many offers.

But Walter was
just so good to me.

Of course, I didn't have
him around all that long.

You never know how things
might have turned out.

What's Cal think?

He says it's Tina's decision.

But he thinks we should
consider adoption.

He's right.

Tina says she'd
never gave up her baby.

You know, a part of me wants to
comfort her, but a part of me

wants her to really suffer
the consequences, too.

Have you discussed
doing anything?

Please, let's not
talk about that again.

Nobody's in favor
of abortion, Evie.

But sometimes a lousy choice is
better than no choice at all.

I don't think Tina expects
anything from this guy,

really, although you should have
seen the way she acted when he

came over to our house.

You know, she's
going to miss so much,

and she doesn't even realize it.

Hey, but what do I know?

I was going to be free, have
a different kind of marriage

than my parents, lots
of hugging and kissing,

uninhibited sex, candid talk.

Then I saw Cal in those
bib overalls, his cute butt

on that tractor,
polishing that seat.

And that was it for me.

Until Leanne.

Girls do die in childbirth.

I read it in Time magazine
in my Mom's doctor's office.

I still don't believe it.

It's true.

It said 20%.

I think they keep it a secret
because no one would have babies

at all.

And then there wouldn't
be any more people.

Good.

It'd be better if
we just had dogs.

Did you spend Christmas
with your mom or your dad?

My mom's house, but
mostly with Angus.

Didi's folks got divorced.

She spends Christmas
Eves with her mom

and Christmas days with her dad.

But she gets presents twice.

Where are you going?

To live with Dad.

You can't just run
away from it, you know.

Why not?

You've got to find
a way to accept it.

I don't want to.

And I don't want to live
in the middle of this mess.

That is not the way sisters
behave in nice families.

Nice families don't have
pregnant 15-year-olds.

Hello?

I'm ready to go.

You didn't talk to your
mother about this, did you?

Wait outside on
the porch, Rae.

Please?

Fine.

Rachel came up with
this idea herself.

And that lets you
completely off the hook?

Is this really
about Rachel, Ev?

Don't you think we need to talk?

What... what are we doing here?

About what?

"About what?" what?

Tina, us, pick one.

I don't want to
talk about either.

I don't think I
have the strength.

Well, I do.

Now, what's this
boy prepared to do?

He's 16!

What's he going to do, take
her away on his skateboard?

Maybe we should
try his parents.

By the look of him, I don't
think he has any parents.

I checked records down
at work, county records.

He lives with his mother
and two younger brothers

out by the old mill on 16.

Is Tina really sure she
wants to keep this baby?

Tina is 15.

She is hardly capable of
making major life decisions.

Looks to me like
she already made one.

Now, why don't... why don't you
talk to her about adoption?

I cannot believe
we disagree on this.

I could not have one of my
children or grandchildren

being raised out there in
the world by total strangers.

Well, just who'd
you have in mind?

I don't know.

I haven't gotten that far yet.

Well...

you and Tina could probably
raise this child on your own.

If you're going to do
that, would you at least

consider letting me help?

No!

Don't even ask me that yet.

I don't know if we'll
ever be together!

But... thank you for wanting to.

She moved away.

Leanne did.

Before Christmas, she,
uh, went to Tucson.

She's got family there.

I only just heard
about it at Denny's.

No, Mama...

I know, honey.

Look, I'll be back soon, OK?

Look, you're going to have
fun with Rosalie and Ian

and Cassandra and Jack.

It's OK.

Yeah?

It's OK.

I want my blue blanket.

I want my blue
blanket and my Mommy.

I want my Mommy.

I hate Mondays.

I have three classes and
six hours at the mall.

And Allie's stuck
there till almost 7:00.

I hope I'm as good
a mother as you.

You remember how I
flipped out at Jane's?

I try not to scream, but
sometimes I just lose it.

I even gyp her.

I buy cheesy diapers
just so I can get myself

some makeup or something.

I mean, kids aren't cheap.

And when they need something,
you've got to get it.

What happens if she gets sick?

I miss school,
and I miss work.

I already have two incompletes
from last semester.

And I've got to keep
my grades way up so I

can get that scholarship money
and transfer out of here.

I'm going to do
something with my life.

I mean, maybe become
an art historian.

I might get to study in Paris.

I don't know.

What's wrong with
sticking around here?

There, it's the great Trans Am.

Look, don't expect
too much, you know.

He's just a guy.

He let you down before.

What am I going to say to him?

That you're having his baby.

Look, here, take this just in
case you need to take a cab.

You can pay me back later.

Thanks for bringing me here.

I used to ride my
bike out here, but...

not the way I look now.

Sooner or
later we're going to know

What people are feeling in

But whatever you do

Make sure I'm told

Before you plan to leave

Your old lady's as
big a bitch as mine.

Am I someone

Let's go and make you happy

Look, I came
over on Christmas.

That was 10 days ago!

I called you seven times.

I heard about the kid.

Love me, need me

Tell me you want me

I'll be a better
father than my old man.

Hug and caress me

Feel me, touch me

Never release me

You're not mad?

I'm not doing that
much with my life.

Might as well have a kid, right?

I'm really glad we're
having them young, too.

That way, we won't
be too old to, like,

take them to the
playground and stuff.

We can dig the same
rides at the fair.

We can grow up together,
just the three of us.

Hey, hey, hey.

Take it easy.

I didn't say we were
getting married or anything.

Tell me you want me

Please me, tease me

Hug and caress me

Feel me, touch me

Never release me

Oh, my god, Tina!

Are your parents
letting you keep it?

All right, ladies, let's
zip it up and get it outside.

We have a lot to cover today.

Come on.

Let's go.

Let's go!

Come on.

Let's see some energy here.

Come on, let's go!

Good pass!

Come on, stay open!

Move the ball, Tina.

Come on, let's move the ball.

Stay open for it, Cindy.

Get a shot!

Come on, set it up!

Tina, Zoe's open!

Here!

Zoe's going
to catch... shoot!

Oh, yeah!

I am sorry, Mr. Spangler.

Tina's never fully worked
up to her potential.

But we expected
more from her, too.

What's happening here?

This is junior high.

We used to attach an enormous
stigma to unwed mothers.

I'm not so sure that was
altogether a bad thing.

Tina!

What happened?

Oh, my gosh.

Hey, wait.

Give her some air.

No, Coach is there.

Mrs. Knapp
runs an excellent program

for teen mothers.

We will transfer Tina
over there immediately.

And if she applies
herself and works hard,

then maybe we'll be able
to see that she finishes.

No, no, there's
no "maybe" about it.

Tina is going to finish
high school, college, too.

Did it ever occur to
you that maybe you're

making it too easy for
these kids to have babies?

Then maybe you should
be teaching them

about what it's like
to really parent

a child instead of what happens
between a sperm and an egg?

And what are you teaching her?

You're her father.

I'm sorry to
interrupt, Mrs. Crawley.

I was told Mr. Spangler
was in your office.

Yes, Mary.

What is it?

Mr. Spangler,
your daughter just

fell out on the soccer field.

She's on her way down
to the nurse's office.

Is she all right?

Oh, I'm sure
she'll be fine.

Um,
we're here to see.

Dr. Ross.

I can't hear you.

Would you please speak up?

Um, my daughter,
Tina Spangler,

is here to see Dr. Ross.

The teen center called?

Age?

46.

Tina's age.

Oh, um...

15.

Date of her last period?

OK, Tina, I haven't
done anything yet.

Oh.

I thought you did.

Would you like your
parents to wait outside?

Um... I'll wait outside.

Let your mother stay.

Don't be mad, Mom.

But it would be better
if you left, too.

Well, she's just 15.

Uh, come on, Evie.

Tina, we'll be
right outside, OK?

They were beginning
to make me nervous.

Would you like to hear
your baby's heartbeat?

Sure.

I... I called the counseling
center when I couldn't reach

you.

I didn't know what to do.

Should I have taken
her to Doc Carlson?

I'm ashamed to take her there.

I mean, this woman seems fine.

Do you think our health
plan will cover Tina?

If they turn us down, I...

I guess we'll just, you know,
have to dip into our savings.

Tina's college fund?

All right.

Right through here.

Oh, I, uh...

I met Ms. Crawley.

She said Tina has to start
the teen mothers program.

She doesn't have a choice.

Oh.

Well, when I was in
high school, a girl

got pregnant our senior year.

I mean, she just vanished
off the face of the earth.

Nobody knew where she went.

Nobody dare ask.

I mean, she certainly didn't
get to finish high school

in plain sight.

This is in plain sight?

They're trying to hide us.

If our bellies didn't stick
out, nobody would even

know we're over here.

I'm just trying to tell
you how it used to be.

Great!

Thanks.

Do you want me
to come in with you?

Don't bother.

And in addition
to trying to keep up

with our regular
academics, we'll

explore what's happening to
your bodies, how it affects you

and your loved ones.

We have a unique opportunity
to help support one another.

I like to think we're a
community, a kind of family.

And I'd like you all to
be able to speak freely

about your feelings without
fear or humiliation.

Tina.

Do I know you?

No, but I'm a sub
on your soccer team.

Well, I was.

Oh, that's why
you look familiar.

When's your baby due?

June.

How are your
parents taking it?

It's just my mom, and
she's not taking it at all.

She threw me out.

That makes my mom
sound like a saint.

My friend Linda,
her mom is a saint.

She's letting me stay
with her till the baby.

Melody!

There's my boyfriend, Paul.

I got to go.

Mine's coming tonight.

See you.

Hey.

Mm!

How are you doing?

How's my little baby?

Well, my family's all boys.

Mm, I still hope
it's a little girl.

It won't be
a little anything.

My old lady's babies
are 9 and 10 pounds.

My brother Sean was 11.

Hey, Ms. Spangler,
you want me to drive?

No.

If I crack the
window, can I smoke?

No.

Oh, I got a call.

Welcome.

Thanks for coming.

Now, I know that some of you
are very frightened by what's

happening to you
now and what's going

to happen to you in the future.

I want to tell you first that
pregnancy is not a disease.

And that none of you, despite
how you may be feeling

this first trimester, are ill.

Now, there are lots of
myths about childbirth.

I'm sure you've heard
some of them by now.

And most of them involve
labor and delivery.

Yeah.

I... I heard that sometimes you
poop when you're having a baby.

Yeah, sometimes.

Uh, late contractions or pushing
may cause bowel movements,

but it's nothing to worry about.

I've never known a doctor or
a nurse to get grossed out.

And your babies won't
hold it against you.

OK, now, this first
chart is a side view

of the female
reproductive organs.

This is the cervix, the vagina,
fallopian tube, ovary, uterus

and bladder.

Any questions?

OK, this is a head-on
view of the vulva

or the outer
reproductive organs.

Now, I suggest that each
of you squat over a mirror

when you have plenty of privacy
and light available and educate

yourselves about your bodies.

I swear to God, Jane, when
he walked behind my van,

I wanted to run over him.

You should
have put it in reverse.

I really considered it.

And the way Tina looks
at him makes me sick.

Come on.

Don't you remember
what that felt like?

Such an innocent time.

Well, then,
why are they in this mess?

She's just a kid, Evie.

Cut her some slack, will you?

You
know I really want

to but I want to kill her, too.

Evie, calm down.

OK.

You're right.

I will.

OK, so... where can I get the
hippest maternity clothes?

There is no
such thing as hip maternity

clothes.

But try the Emporium
out at the mall.

Do you remember your
great-aunt Virginia,

born in 1902?

Now, she was the first
woman forest ranger.

And I mean, that
was before women

were allowed to be anything.

I mean, she lived all alone
in the Appalachian Mountains,

fighting off the elements,
staving off bears.

She lived quite an adventure...
excuse me, adventurous life.

Everyone in your family
always refers to her as "Poor

Aunt Virginia, the
childless one, the virgin."

You miss my point.

You can grow up to
be anything you want.

I just want to be a
good wife and mother

and make my husband happy.

Ugh, look at this stuff.

It's disgusting.

Well, I thought that's why
you wanted me to bring you here

to buy maternity clothes.

Are you crazy?

It's bad enough being
pregnant without having

to look like a total loser.

Well, you should have thought
of that before you had sex.

You should have seen the
stuff she thought I should wear.

The only maternity
clothes I need

are three pairs of overalls.

You'd think it was
going to bust her.

Mm.

That's why I like
having my own money.

Look, have something to eat.

I feel too sick.

I throw up every morning,
sometimes in the shower,

sometimes when I brush my
teeth, as soon as I take

those nasty prenatal vitamins.

I'm afraid I'm going
to puke my baby out.

Worse things are coming.

How come being pregnant
gives you pimples?

All the girls in my class
have faces like pizzas.

Isn't getting
fat bad enough?

I don't know.

It's some hormonal thing.

That's all they
talk about in class.

And they make you
sit at these tables.

I guess nobody's stomach
fits under a desk.

I wish this whole
thing would make

Ray want to clean up his act.

It sure helped me.

I'm not smoking or drinking
at all, no matter what.

I wish I could tell
my mom I cleaned up,

make her feel a little better.

She had no idea I was
into anything before.

Oh, Ray says he's going to
marry me after the baby's born.

Yeah, that's exactly
what Woody said.

Why are you in
such a bad mood?

Look, when you've been up all
night long with your kid's ear

infection, ask me again.

Take a look.

Little baby.

Do you want to
know the gender?

Sure.

Are you sure you
really want to know?

OK, then.

It's a big, strong, healthy boy.

Thanks, Dr. Ross.

I just love guys.

Hi.

Let's ride.

Ray's got a new job, Mom.

He has to work late, but
he'll be here in a while.

He's really excited
it's a little boy.

Oh, hey.

What's going on?

What am I going to do?

Paul dumped me.

This is
Karen Gotatus, and she

wants to share with you what
it's like to be a teen mom.

I really appreciate
her coming down.

She's still pretty
tired, just getting

used to four-month-old Tiffany.

So you might find her
story pretty terrifying.

But I think it's important
that you hear it from Karen's

perspective because she's been
there and sat where each of you

is sitting tonight.

When my boyfriend said
he was going to marry me,

I believed him.

I was sure we'd make
a perfect family,

have a little house of our
own with a Christmas tree.

And we were going to decorate
it any way we wanted.

But he split.

We haven't seen or heard a word
from him since Tiffany was born.

Maybe if she'd have been a boy.

But now I gets to live his
life, play sports,

sleep late, party.

I spend my time changing
diapers, filling bottles,

and washing
nasty-smelling clothes.

She never sleeps
when I want her to.

Sometimes I beg her to.

We're both always tired.

And all she ever does
is cry and cry and cry.

And I don't even know why
she's crying half the time.

I get to stay up all night, work
two dead-end minimum wage jobs,

so I can pay $250 a
month for babysitting.

I have no money.

I'm lonely, and I'm exhausted.

I have only one friend
left from before the baby.

And it's about to
happen to all of you.

And you have no idea.

I've got it!

I've got it, Ma!

Where were you?

Are you sure
you never did it before?

You would, like,
ask me that now?

Well, Joe
says everybody says you...

I don't care what he said!

It was my first time!

Denise, too.

How would she know?

You lied to me.

That's not true!

Get rid of it.

No, it's way too late.

Try.

Never!

No!

Then I'll see you.

You can't.

Ray?

Little boy.

This is your mom.

Nobody wants you born but me.

Hi.

You were so badly
behaved on the bus,

they refused to feed you?

All that sodium, there
wasn't one fresh thing

in those fast food places.

Oh, my, you do favor
your grandfather.

Oh!

Well, where is everybody?

Evie and Tina think they can
hide from me for two weeks, huh?

We could open a donut shop at
the mall and get really rich.

Oh, that sounds tempting,
spending my days in a shopping

mall and my nights
counting money.

Don't talk with
your mouth full, either.

I'm not kidding.

I mean it, for reals.

Well, we'll see.

When you're ready, I'll
give you the family recipe.

Do you love your sister?

Which one?

Clever boy.

I imagine you love them both.

But I'm asking about Tina.

I guess so.

Then you
start acting like it.

Your Tina's brother.

You can start helping
your mom out more, too.

You want to grow up to
be a man, don't you, hmm?

Well, men help their
mothers and their sisters.

And not because they have to.

Because it's the thing to do.

And it's as simple as that.

Tina?

How's it going?

I'm trying to cure gaposis
because nothing fits anymore.

I look like a fat pig.

No, you don't.

How do you feel?

Huge, but at least I
finally stopped puking.

I want to throw you a
baby shower, Tina, OK?

How about the
end of the month?

I'll invite
everybody I know.

I'll get everything
my baby needs.

Thanks, Jane.

Pick a Saturday and call me.

You know, your friend here
forbid me to do it for her,

so I'd be thrilled.

I'll tell your mom
it's all set, then.

TINA: OK.

How come you didn't let
her give you a baby shower?

I don't know.

I think I was too
ashamed, you know,

and Woody had split by then.

Ray didn't show up
at the last meeting.

He promised he would.

Look, forget him.

I know he cares about me.

I guess he just got
scared or something.

And I don't think you should
get married just for the baby

if you can't get along.

I thought Ray was really cool.

He probably has a new
girlfriend already.

As a matter of fact, I saw
Ray with somebody at the mall.

You did?

What'd she look like?

Cheesy, really skinny.

Ray's a loser.

Of course, you should
definitely defend

Tina against Cal's mother.

She'll need protecting.

I've never been able to
protect Tina from anything.

The deed is done.

If you give up on her,
she'll run away from you,

just like Laurie did from me.

Tina's getting pregnant
is not your fault.

It can't be because then
what happened to Laurie

would have to be mine.

Here, come to Grandma.

Want to see Grandma?

Good girl.

Oh, what a precious angel.

Hey, baby.

It's time for your nap.

Come on.

Let's go, Jane.

OK, there you go.

Thank you all.

Thank you for coming by.
Thanks for having us.

Bye.

Bye, Allison.

Bye.

See you tomorrow.

Bye.

Be careful.

Thanks.

Bye.

Where's Dr. Ross?

I'm Dr. Warshaw, Tina.

Everybody disappears.

Mama, I want Dr. Ross.

Dr. Ross
went back to Boston

to train in neonatology.

I don't even get
to say goodbye?

I'll be handling your
pregnancy from now on,

so just try to
relax and lay back.

It's OK, Tina.

A lot of patients waiting.

All right.

Let's see.

I wish Dad had brought me.

So do I. But he's busy trying
to keep your grandmother out

of our hair.

Well, young lady, between
the development of the placenta

and your low weight
gain, I want you from now

on only to attend
morning classes

and rest in the afternoons.

I'll give you a note.

And start getting
some more weight.

What?

I look like a blimp already.

If I get any fatter, I'll
never go swimming again!

Hello?

Why didn't
you send one of these shower

invitations to any
of my relatives?

Why should I?

It's my kid, too.

You dumped me first.

My old lady's
buying a stroller, a car seat,

and a swing for us.

She is?

Oh, Ray, that's so cool.

So, it was your idea
to keep this baby, huh?

Tina and I agreed
from the start

that we would just not be
comfortable with one of our own

out there in the
world somewhere.

This baby will grow up
with problems of his own.

Your love for infants is
getting in your way, Evelyn.

This is Tina's baby, not yours.

At some point, the child
will live with that fact.

Maybe you should, too.

So just because I
have failed with Tina

means I shouldn't be
allowed to raise any more?

Girl, you're
not thinking clearly.

You've already got one family
and a marriage of your own

to save.

I... I just don't
think that any of you

are equipped to
take on this baby.

She's just a young girl, Evelyn.

She thinks she knows
everything at 15.

She gets older, she's going
to realize just how much she

doesn't know.

Maybe she needs a kitten.

Look, there's a little
boy inside Tina's stomach

that's coming out this summer.

And there's just nothing I can
do about it, except try and make

the best of it.

I hate you, Ray Wood!

I never want to see you again!

That won't be a problem.

He'll get you pregnant
and leave you, too.

Ooh, Tina, You
don't look so good.

And all of you totally go for
that mother thing, don't you?

My old lady's in the store
right now buying it out.

You're really going to score
big at your baby thing.

When did you get so tough?

Getting over you.

Move back
home and take command.

Well, this isn't Vietnam.

I can't just charge in.

It's not making any sense.

And I still haven't figured
out why you separated

in the first place.

Evie and I are living
apart on purpose,

to give each other some time...

In eight months, have you
decided if you love Evie?

It's not about loving her.

Then get
on with it, Calvin.

It's not that simple, Mother.

You operating without
all the facts.

Oh, what are the facts?

I'm trying to
earn Evie's respect.

Stop trying so hard,
Calvin, and just do something.

Evie's your wife.

It's the same conversation
we had at Christmas.

Do you have to talk
to me like I'm 12?

You forget about
yourself for a second.

You all have too many feelings.

The family you created,
Calvin, is a mess.

One is stuffing her problems
back with carbohydrates.

Another is hiding under
those head things.

You're staggering around.

Evie's about to erupt.

And Tina, the one who's
supposed to be in trouble,

is in better shape than the rest
of you, though I don't know how!

Because no one has
given that child

any real guidance or limits.

That's enough.

Let me come live
with you on the farm.

I'd be no trouble.

I'd work really hard.

Oh, darling, I'll
love having you, Rachel.

And you'll come soon.

But right now, your
mother and your sister...

Oh, Tina never thinks
about anybody but herself.

Why can't she give the baby
to some couple who can't

have children and need a kid?

I agree with you, darling.

But even if we
can't convince them,

they still need your good
sense and strong faith.

And you'll feel
better about yourself

if you try to help them, OK?

Mm.

Can I take that for you?

Thank you.

Can I have a receipt?

Look, mother, I
know it's hard for you

not to be able to solve
every problem we have.

But that's not the only thing
we want or need from you.

As soon as you leave, we just go
back to flapping around, making

our own messes.

There's nothing you can do.

Well, I'm just sorry you're
mad at me for speaking my mind.

But I can't just
stand by and watch.

No, you've never been
one to stand by and watch.

You've always spoken your mind.

Regardless of how you
want us to live our lives

or how well-intentioned
you are, we really

are trying to do
the best we can.

I know you're trying hard.

Try harder.

I was just remembering one
New Year's Eve, when you were 6

and I was 9.

You wanted to stay up till
midnight, but you couldn't.

I still
have that problem.

Not for long.

When you're about 35, you'll
get to sleep in again.

That old?

Yeah, unless your kid
falls in your footsteps.

And then you'll become the young
grandmother who raises his.

You still won't get any sleep.

From my calculations,
that'd make you about 55

before you get any sleep again.

Oh, so old!

Oh!

I need my produce.

Hurry up, Laurie.

Get me my prune juice.

Come here.

Oh, I haven't
seen you in so long.

Sit down.

Oh!

Oh, my butt hurts.

It's getting late.

Where is everyone?

I'm sorry about your party.

I know how much you were
looking forward to it.

You worked hard on
the decorations.

I'm glad Melody and
Linda could come.

Sometimes people can be
unintentionally cruel.

I do wish it had turned out
exactly the way you'd want it.

Don't you think I know it
wasn't supposed to be like this?

I just wanted to protect
you from all the bad things.

And I just wanted
to be excited

about all the good things.

I don't want to feel so bad.

Maybe I am wrong for
sleeping with Ray.

And maybe it is a
sin against God.

But being pregnant gives me
something to finally really look

forward to that's all mine.

Is that what you needed?

I... I wanted to,
like, know what love is,

how it feels inside,
especially when you're not sure

if I'm looking around you.

I mean, you and
Dad were always fighting.

And then you threw him out.

But to me, it looked
like he was a good dad.

Well, things aren't
always that simple, Tina.

Well, then explain it to me.

Well, I can't.

Well, I'm going to be able
to explain things to my kid.

Well, I hope you can, Tina.

All I can say is that I
am so sorry you could not

feel our love for you.

I thought I wanted
to feel loved by Ray,

only the whole world
was so hung up about it.

I thought it would
help me keep him.

And what do you think now?

I don't know, really.

Everybody thinks it's bad
for me to have a baby.

But at least I'll have someone
to love, who'll love me back.

Babies take a lot more
love than they give, Tina.

I don't know, Mom.

Sometimes it seems like
there's nothing else to do.

Hi, Mom.

Angus and me want
to come back home.

Is that OK?

How come?

Grandma told me to.

I just feel so bad for Tina.

No one's interested in her baby
or glad or excited for her.

How can we be?

At the doctor's office,
she started bragging

about how she was
going to breastfeed.

Instead of being proud
of her for making

an intelligent decision, I,
uh...

I went to hide.

Our daughter is going to
start high school as a mother.

That's a fact we
can't change, Evie.

How we deal with it,
that's something else.

I forgot how good you
are at the emotional stuff.

You know, I've been thinking
how we switched roles

in this crisis.

But it's always been that way.

Do I deserve some
kind of credit for that?

Yes, I really think you do.

I want to come back, Evie.

Are you ready to
let me come home?

I'm not sure I'll ever really
be able to trust you again.

Oh, I know Leanne left town.

But then there's always...

I didn't say it'd be easy.

There's going to be
another child in the house

for you to worry about, somebody
else for you to pay more

attention to than me.

You'll have to give
me a little more time.

I mean, his mother probably
made him swear on the Bible.

I was so nervous
myself, I could hardly

focus on Rachel's coming home.

I hope she didn't feel ignored.

How was Cal?

Nice.

And we started out shaky,
but it ended up nice.

He wants to come home.

You're going to let him?

Oh, I hope I can.

I do miss him.

Did you...

No, we have children
staying at both our houses.

Where would we?

Those are for the young
lady in green dress

and the one with maroon top.

Yes, sir.

I, uh... I want this to be
special for Tina, so let me,

uh... let me make a
fuss over her, OK?

Do you mind?

No.

OK.

Here you are.

Adam.

Happy Mother's Day.

Oh, thank you.

And for the beautiful
mother-to-be.

Oh, thanks, Dad.

I can't wait till my little
guy does stuff like this for me

on Mother's Day.

Mm.

Is there anything
else I can get you?

One of the girls in
my class had her baby.

She said it hurt like hell.

10 and 1/2 pounds, a boy.

He's sort of cute, but so fat.

And he has really ugly hair.

You're so lucky that
Allison's beautiful.

I won't be able to handle it if
Caleb comes out creepy-looking.

Look, it won't be that
important, I promise.

Oh, you're not going to
start lecturing me, are you?

I'm so tired.

Oh, will you give me
a root beer, Laurie?

I'll pay you back.

You're welcome.

You're starting to
sound like my mom.

Look, ever since your doctor
told you to take afternoons off,

I mean, I've kind of been
waiting for you to offer

to take care of Allison for me.

And you could be saving me
a ton of babysitting money.

You never asked me.

Well, how come it
never crossed your mind?

I mean, I was hoping that
it would occur to you.

You're not my leader.

I don't act and think like you.

Well, it wouldn't
be so terrible

for you to be a little less
shallow, maybe a little bit more

responsible.

You're not that
great either, you know.

Allison could use
a man in her life.

I don't want her growing
up depending on some guy.

I want to teach Allison to
be strong and independent and

responsible.

Good for you!

But I'm not your kid, so
don't lay your trip on me.

You're way too self-centered
to be a mom, Tina.

You just wait and see
how selfish your baby is.

Everybody thinks
I'm so stupid.

Don't you think I know this
baby is going to change my life?

Rachel
fractured her ankle.

In two places.

I was lying there, Rachel.

I'm supposed to be resting.

Well, go upstairs and rest.

I can't move around too well.

You probably fell
because you're so fat.

Look who's talking.

At least I have an excuse.

Oh, some excuse.

Be careful.

For God's sake...

Get off of my couch.

Ow!

Rae, are you all right?

Dad.

I'm not kidding, Dad.

She just marches in here
and takes over my couch.

Would you please
make Tina go upstairs?

It's too hard for me.

Rae, Tina's pregnant.

Oh, like everyone can't tell?

Come on, Rae.

Let us take you upstairs.

No, that's it!

I don't want to be in
this family anymore.

The day school gets out, I'm
going to go live with Gram!

Rachel.

There won't even
be room for me in your van

when you add the baby seat.

I've always been
the fifth wheel,

and I can't wait
to get out of here.

Rae, you're upset.

We'll talk about this later.

None of you should be
allowed to have kids.

The three of you should start
worrying about where you're

going to spend eternity.

We're really going to
let her go to the farm?

I don't know.

Maybe it'll help.

Tina will be so upset if
Rachel misses Caleb's birth.

And that she wants to take
a bus alone to Kansas.

I would never have done
anything like that at that age.

Well, I think she's just
braver, a little more honest

than the rest of us.

It'll all work itself out.

We just have to have faith.

How come you're
always so certain?

She's ready.

Give yourselves
around of applause.

Look how far you've come.

You're all on the finish line.

You've almost made it.

Next week, we'll tour
the maternity ward.

Come on in, you two.

Hi.

Come on.

I'll meet you
downstairs in five.

Melody?

What's going on?

You need a gown if
you're going inside.

She's not coming in.

I had him Tuesday.

He's almost four weeks early,
so he's got to stay here.

His name is Andrew,
which means strong, but...

he looks kind
of weak, doesn't he?

Laurie, I know you probably
never want to talk to me again.

I'm such a little jerk.

No, you're not.

Your hormones are
just screwed up.

Oh, I'm getting so
scared about giving birth.

Melody's baby came
early, and he's so tiny.

You'll drive yourself crazy
worrying about all the things

that can go wrong.

But what if Caleb's sick?

Caleb will be fine.

Oh,
you really think so?

I'm sorry for what I
said to you, Laurie.

And I promise I'll
babysit for Allie.

I want my Mommy!

She woke up again?

I got... I got to go.

Yeah, OK.

Thanks.

Bye.

There
she is, folks.

At just 14, she's the
youngest US National champion.

And she's going to have to
really nail her long program

to hold on to her title and
have a shot at the world's.

He's been skating strongly
in spite of last month's knee

injury.

All this pressure...
all these hopes...

all weighing in on
these young shoulders.

Can she stand up
to the pressure?

We'll soon find out.

You've got to eat more, Tina.

Remember what Dr. Warshaw said.

I've got to go visit Melody
and her baby at the hospital.

Mom won't have time.

She's taking me to the doctor.

Who asked you?

Laurie taking me.

I think it is so great
you were there for Melody.

Tina, I am very proud of you.

Anything I can do to help?

Be one of those ice
skating champions.

I'd like a big sister
who's really famous,

not just for getting
pregnant at 14.

If you want
to be an ice skater,

you should go for it, Rae.

Choose what you want.

Like you?

I didn't really choose this.

It just happened.

It didn't just happen.

You let it happen.

You'll see, when you
have your first boyfriend.

I'll never have a boyfriend,
and not because I'm fat.

I don't want one.

OK.

I'm never having
any babies, either.

You might.

Don't say never.

People die having babies.

Where did you hear that?

Your church youth group?

Holly read it at her
mother's doctor's office.

20% of women die
while giving birth.

Holly's a twit.

She's my best friend.

Are you scared I might
die, or are you just hoping?

Is... is it time?

Oh, no.

Tina's just fine.

I... I just had to drop
Norman at a nearby site.

And I hadn't been
here in so long.

Good to see you.

Uh, sit down.

Want some coffee?

Are we going to be able
to afford this baby?

The hospital alone is $2,000.

Well, we could always
go against Ray Wood.

I think legally we
could attach his assets.

What, his Trans
Am or his pompadour?

Let's leave him out of this.

I don't even want him around.

Well, I, uh...

I told Tina she had to think
about getting a part-time job,

along with finishing high school
as a condition to our letting

her and the baby, live with us
at home until she graduates.

Are we going to
throw her out, then?

You're something, Ev.

You OK, Ev?

Do you remember how happy we
were when we ran this business

together, before you could
afford to hire anyone?

I could always give
your old job back.

I think you
have a lot more fun down

at the building
department, those guys.

I do enjoy those guys.

You know, the
closer I get to 50,

the more I understand that
I can't do everything,

have everything, be everything
to... to you, the kids,

my mother, me.

No matter how much I want to.

Mom, what's all that stuff?

Oh, I don't know.

I was just letting
myself get excited,

thinking I would make my first
grandson a quilt for his crib.

You know, Mom, if
you can forgive me,

I bet you could
forgive Dad, too.

OK, I'll see you.

Don't forget about Angus.

Hey, Rae, you know
we love you, right?

Look, call us later, OK?

OK.

Adam, put those tools
back in the garage, will you?

Sure, Dad.

Did you really have to
bring your mother's lamp back,

Cal?

I didn't miss that one bit.

My mom said it's wonderful

Oh, wow.

How's Andrew doing?

Oh, bye!

The doctor says it's
going to be OK, but...

I just don't know about me.

Oh.

Will you start high
school in the fall?

I don't know.

Well, they let you
bring your baby to school.

How will we do homework?

My friend Laurie brings
the car seat inside,

puts it on the
floor near her desk

and rocks the baby
with her foot.

Has Paul seen his baby yet?

I called his mom and
told him about Andrew

being early and
all, but I haven't

heard from her or anything.

How's Ray?

He's totally gone.

But I think I'm, like,
just about over him.

Welcome,
parents and graduates...

Do you feel bad about
missing your real graduation?

It's just one of a lot of
things I could feel bad about.

All you Clover
Lake graduates, you made it.

Let's party!

May I have this dance?

Don't be weird.

I'm way too fat to dance.

I Like trying

Not to me.

I think you're beautiful.

I don't
like airplanes

I like the way things used to be

I guess I'm slow to change

Because I'm still loving you

Yes, I'm still loving you

I like old dirt roads

I don't like inner state

Calvin Spangler, you are
the sweetest dad on Earth.

I hope some day Tina has a man
that loves her as much as I love

you.

Because
I'm still loving you

Yes, I'm still loving you

You want to feel him kick?

It's really cool.

All righty, then.

Feels pretty weird.

Does it hurt to have your skin
stretched and shiny like that?

Nah, you just get these creepy
looking things called stretch

marks.

But Laurie gave me some cream
that, like, helps get rid

of them.

I'd hate to never
wear a bikini again.

Don't you think Ray should
have to do something for having

his kid living inside you?

Like, pay rent?

I'm sorry, Tina.

But if I got a girl in trouble,
I swear I'd stand by her.

I really would.

You know what, Adam,
you really are a twit.

But you're a totally nice twit.

OK.

I haven't smoked in 11 years.

But I suddenly realized
after a year of being alone,

I'm really terrified.

Cal came home to save Tina.

Can't you just be
glad to have him back?

I didn't know
how lonely I was.

I'm happy for you.

Are you?

Thanks.

Aw, look, Mom.

It's so cute.

Aw, look, the little
stuffed animals.

Look!

Aw.

I love that,
and a penalty.

Oh, this is $10.

Look, Mom!

This one makes music, though.

OK, now, I have to rest.

I never had that much energy
when I was that far along.

I always have
energy for shopping.

Oh, look at the
little carriage, Mom.

Come on.

I want it.

Oh, look.

Aw.

Oh, look at it, Mom.

It's so cute.

Look.

Oh!

Oh, I love it.

Look.

See how it works.

It does.
It works.

OK, good.

Here...

Oh, I love it so much.

Aw, come on, let's go.

I got it.

Oh, it is beautiful in here.

Cal, when did you have
time to do all this?

Adam did most of it
this morning while...

while Tina was watching Allison.

You know... oh, Laurie had
some kind of exam to take.

You know, Caleb will be the
sixth baby to use this bassinet.

Hey, look what I got downstairs.

Here.

And we could set
it by the window.

And then she can look out here.

That'd be nice, don't you think?

Yeah.

Oh, dear.

Did you get your grades?

Yeah, I got three As.

Oh, that's so great.

Where's Allie?

Oh, she's downstairs
with your folks.

They look like
they're rehearsing.

It's so sweet in here.

My dad and Adam did it.

But my mom put her
rocking chair here for me.

I washed all the new
clothes, the bedding.

What if I forget to breathe?

Oh, I thought I
was going to die.

All I wanted was Jane.

I was screaming for her.

You were?

You know, we're really lucky
to have our kind of moms instead

of Melody's.

Well, part of me
always have to love Ray

because it's our baby.

You know, I think
of Woody sometimes

when I can't stand how
hard it is to do it alone.

And sometimes Allison,
she even looks like him.

But I don't think that Ray would
have been much help to you.

I mean, he's not good enough to
love either you or your baby.

You're dilated 2 centimeters.

You're 80% effaced.

But the baby's heart
rate is a little uneven.

What
does that mean?

That's very normal
in young mothers, no reason

to be concerned.

It just means your water
probably won't break by itself.

If you haven't gone into labor
by Monday, I want to induce.

Sounds OK to me.

I'm ready to let this guy out.

Will you be in
the delivery room?

There's a good chance.

But still, it depends
on who's on call.

I got your stuff.

Thanks, Mom.

Don't forget this.

All right, let's go.

Come on.

Alley-oop.

Call your
grandmother right away.

It's OK.

It's OK, breathe.

Breathe.

Good.

Just slowly, breathe.

That's good.

I can't!

I can't!

You're doing great, honey.

Come on.

Shut up!

Oh, I can't!

It hurts!

It's OK.

It's OK, just push.

Yes, you can.

Mm, good.

That's it, girl.

There, huh?

There you go.

What a good girl.

My girl.

It's OK.

It's OK.

Don't worry.

Oh, no.

Get out.

Hey, hey, it's my kid, too.

Not today.

Sperm doesn't
entitle you to much.

Now... now you and your friend,
you go wait in the room

down the hall.

The nurse will bring
him out for you to see.

Ray, what's going on?

I'll tell you in a minute.

Push, good.

Push, honey, push.

Push.

Oh, come on.

Tina, hold on.

You are about to meet Caleb.

Let's breathe, OK?

Good, Tina, good.

1, 2, 3, 4,
5, 6, 7, 8, 9...

It hurts!

I know it, but push again.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6,
7, 8, right there.

One more, baby.

1, 2, 3...

All right,
help me out now.

One big last push, and you'll
bring your son into the world,

OK?

One more.

Push, push, push.

Yes,
yes, good, good.

Good.

There you go.

Hey.

Oh, there.

Oh, my baby.

Look, baby.

Look, baby.

Look, baby.

Look, baby.

Look, baby.

Look.

Is he all right?

He's... he's OK.

Oh!

Oh, Caleb.

Hi, baby.

Hi, Caleb.

Oh, oh, little Caleb, hi.

Hi, Caleb.

Oh, he's perfect.

You did good.

You seem perfect.

You're perfect.

Yes, he is.

Good girl.

Caleb Spangler,
it's quite a mouthful.

I wonder where
she came up with that.

She said it's on
account of the Bible.

But I believe it's
because of you.

She wanted another
"Cal" in her life.

I cannot imagine a bigger
day, except maybe her wedding.

I wish that had come first.

Me, too.

I can't stop thinking how
everything will turn out

for her in the end.

I cannot believe Tina went
through labor and delivery

before she drove a car.

And I...
I can't believe we

all came through
it in one piece.

Hi, Mom.

Oh, we got a baby.

Hi, Grandma.

Hi, darling.

Hello.

Oh, look.

Hi.

You look thinner.

So do you.

Oh!

How about this,
little Adam, huh?

Come on, Rachel.

Look at that.

I was so afraid he'd
come out goofy-looking.

Yeah, but he's goofy-looking.

You think so?

Yeah.

Do you think so?

I don't
have any idea what's

going to happen to me.

But for the rest of my life, I'm
going to be somebody's mother,

whether I want it or not.

Babies are nice,
if you're ready.

But it takes a lot to
care about somebody else,

more than you care about
yourself, especially when you're

still a kid.
