Alan. Hi, honey.

Hey. Hey, girl.

Congratulations, honey. Mister Rossa. She

doesn't need to hear that now. Why? All

babies are a blessing. Yeah, I know that,

but she doesn't need to hear that right

now. Okay? I'm sorry.

Alex,

how are you? Is Brad here?

Yes. Where is he?

Well, he left, honey.

Did he see the baby?

Yes.

Did he say anything?

He said, but no, he didn't.

Did you see the baby?

It's so beautiful. Honey, he is.

Alex, have you seen him? I don't want

to see him. Hey, Alex,

how angry was Brett?

Beyond.

He could use a little time. Don't lie.

Don't lie. That's not gonna help. I'm not

gonna lie, sweetheart. He was furious.

Natalie. No, it's not the time. Can you

stop? What? Why are

y'all sugarcoating this? You don't have to

be so damn blind. Yes, the hell I do.

Look, the doctor already told us not to

upset her. I'm just telling the truth.

When you've had a baby before, you know

what it's like. This is not the time.

Okay, she's dark. Okay, okay. All right,

fine. You know, just y'all do it y'all

way. No, no,

she's right. This is my

reality. No, no, no. That is not true.

Okay, I know you feel like all is lost,

but I will get better.

Listen, okay? Callie's right. It will.

How can it? Time, honey.

Time will.

Time make me want to see that child.

That child.

I couldn't even look at him.

My own child, and I hate him.

Alex, you don't mean that. No, I do.

No, I hate him. Oh, sweetie, it's just all

the hormonal changes you're going through.

No, I know what I'm saying. Stop. Alex,

you don't know what you're saying. I know

what I'm saying. Stop it now. When you

let something come out of your mouth, you

cannot take it back. Okay, now, maybe it's

not the hormones. Maybe it's postpartum or

whatever it is. You need to stop. Don't

say that again. You need to stop.

I just. We are not gonna let you do this.

We're not. We're gonna be right here with

you every step of the way, okay?

My husband isn't. We'll come. Where else?

I don't want that child. Alex,

wait. Stop trying to stop me from speaking

my heart. Alex, you don't mean that,

okay? You don't. Let her speak her truth,

Natalie. No, let her speak it so she

can hear herself.

Go on. Go on. Alex.

How am I supposed to look at that baby

every day?

How am I supposed to look at him?

Reminding me of what I did wrong and what?

How I ruined my marriage? How much

I hurt Brad?

What are other people gonna say?

God, what is my family gonna say? Your

family will come around. They will.

You know my family, Alex. I know your

family. And I'm sure. I'm positive I can't

keep him. So what are you gonna do?

Give him up for adoption or something?

Alex, you can't do that. Why not?

Because it's your child.

He's yours.

But you can't treat him that way because

he's black.

I am not treating him that way because

he's black.

I am giving him up because maybe

somebody else can love him.

Maybe once some adoptive parent looks in,

they won't see what I see.

They won't see all of the pain that I have

put all of us through.

I can't.

I can't. I won't. Alex, wait a minute.

Just. At least let's talk about it soon.

I was wondering why we were getting spikes

on this machine at the nurse's station.

Her blood pressure is dangerously high.

Ladies, now, I told you you couldn't see

her. And I need you to leave.

We love you. Okay?

Don't make any decisions without talking

to us, okay?

We love you. We're here for you,

Alex. Okay?

Okay. Okay. Come on.
