"Yes?" "Mom?" "Oh, hi, honey?" "could you hang on a second?" "I'm sorry, it's a madhouse." "What's up?" "Nothing, I just wanted to say hi." "Oh, honey, hang on a second." "What is it?" "Do you need something?" "No, I'm fine." "Are you okay?" "Yes." "I'm exhausted." "No one has any idea what they're doing so I have to take care of everyhing." "I'm spread too thin as usual." " You should get some rest." " I'II rest when I'm dead." "Listen, my mileage isn't good anymore so I'II just wait until he's born and then I'II come out." "I just can't get away right now." "I'm up to my neck." "It's a bad time for me." "How are you feeling?" "Good." "Listen, honey, I should be going." "I'm glad you called." "I Iove you, honey." "I Iove you too." "Question." "How's your kegel?" "I said how's that KegeI going?" "I hate my KegeI." "Now I'm going to have to pee." "I'm really worried I am not doing enough KegeIs." "Do you really do them?" "well, I practice every night with KesseI." " You do?" " Yes, I do, Jean." "KesseI loves my KegeI." "He thinks it's really sexy." "Come on, Jean, home, the car, go!" "alright." "See you guys on Saturday." "I'm just saying good night!" " What's Saturday?" " It's the birthday party." " Who's?" " Barbie's michael." "Do you know what I was just thinking?" "I was just thinking how strange it is that we're born to our mothers then we become adults and we have babies of our own." "It's like everyhing comes full circle." "Yeah." "Can I use your deodorant?" "Shit, I just remembered I meant to be picking Russ up from the airport." "tell him bill wants to play ball this weekend, okay?" "How strange is it that men are born to their mothers as babies and then they stay that way?" "Are these your shoes?" "No." "They're probably Jean's." "She's a nervous wreck." "I'm going to take them." "Are you sure you're going to be alright?" "Yes." "Go." "Get your baby at the plane." " alright." "Bye." " Bye." "Angie!" "Judith?" "My water broke." "I don't think it's supposed to hurt this much!" "Do you want me to get your Mom?" "Can I come in?" "May I come in through here?" "Push." "Good." "One, two, three, push!" "He's over the crown." "I see an eye." "There's an ear." "Good, on three." "One, two, three, push!" "That's it." "It's a boy!" "congratulations." "He is bright pink." "We like that." "Scissors." "Come meet your Mom." "Oh!"

"So?" "Cake?" "Any takers?" "alright." "We're going to have some cake and then we're going to do the pinata and then we're going to open presents..." "And I'm going to relax, okay?" "That's how's it's going to be." "I'm going to start over here..." "Come on, he's shy." "well, you know he's cute." "That's the size of cake that Superman eats for his birthday..." "He put it right into, into my mouth, and it was his foot or his hand, I don't know which one it was, but it was like shut up, Dad." "I can't really tell you enough times how grateful I am." "Are you going to say it again?" "I can't tell you enough times how grateful I am." "This is silly." "It could have been anyone." "Anyone would have done exactly the same thing." "God was really looking out for you and that's why Angie was there." "Did you tell her yet?" "What?" "Judith wants you to be the Godmother." " No?" " Yeah." " But she's your sister." " I know, but she can get the next one." "Are you serious?" "No." "It was a big joke." "I'm not serious." " I don't know what to say." " well, say that you'II do it." "Of course I'II do it." "I'm honored." "Now we're all sisters." "She comes to the living room and he's standing there and says "Mom, can you get out here for a second?"" "And she says, "Are you doing something you shouldn't do?"" "And he finally says, "I pee-peed in the corner."" "She handled it great, she says..." ""What?" "well, do I have to put diapers on you again, Iike a baby?"" "He said, "No, I'II never do it again."" "But he's just trying to see what they can get away with." "Who is in?" " Are you going?" " It's pool time." "He's going to come down." "Yeah!" "Do it!" "Do it!" "Russ?" "Do you have your wallet in your pants?" "Where's your wallet?" "Russ, your underwear is showing!" "He's a natural!" "That's what you do when you have children." " What are you doing?" " Nothing." " I'm happy." " Why are you so happy?" "I don't know." "I feel really lucky." "I Iove our life, I Iove our friends." "I Iove you." "What happened?" " Nothing." " Angie, are you alright?" "Yeah, I'm fine." "Angie?" " Hey!" "How are you doing?" " Good." "It was good, huh?" "close your eyes." "close them." "Make a wish." " What was that?" " It was a kick." " Was that a kick?" " Yes." "Did you feel it?" "Oh, my!" "Good Lord!" "How is my mid-wife?" " I'm good." "How are you?" " Fine." "Care for a mint?" " Yeah." "Thank you." " Don't mind if I do?" "So, what's with the tie?" "Oh, my kids call me the great sperm raiser." "really?" "What does your wife call you?" "The great cell splitter." " How are you feeling today?" " I'm good." "I was a little bit sick this morning." "What do you hear from Judith?" "Is she adjusting to motherhood?" "She's good." "Functioning on 2 hours sleep a night." "really?" "Ethan's a bit of a night terrorist, is he?" "I think so." "Husband bill, I take it, the late comer, is he doing alright?" "Is that normal?" "Perfect." "90 over 60." "CouIdn't ask for better numbers." "Now, for my final trick, scoot up a little bit there." "Perfect." "Excuse me." "alright." "hold that there." "This little piggy went to market, this little piggy stayed home." "Good." "Why are we doing this?" "I always do this." "It makes me feel like a doctor." " Was that normal?" " Perfect." "Everyhing's perfect." "Are you sure?" "Positive." "Let's get this monster gear off you." "So, I will see you when your contractions get a bit shorter." "You stay off the booze." "How cute is this giraffe." "Yeah, my Mom sent it." "This is the cutest thing I ever saw." "It's adorable, Judith." "It's totally cute." "Barbie, do yourself a favor for once and just take a look at the cute thing, please?" "I'm pretty sure that I may actually be in love with that giraffe." "Look at it." " It's adorable, Judith." " It is very adorable." "I know." "When we finish this room I'm planning to move in." " I just had another fantasy." " Do share." "What about when they have sIeep-overs?" "Ladies, don't get too excited because they're a pain in the ass." "My child is not going to be a pain in the ass, Barbie." "I'm going to tell you something, angela." "AII children are a pain in the ass, particularly when they are not yours." "The best thing about a sIeep-over is when it's at somebody else's house." "Excuse me, ladies." "You're all talk, as usual." "You can't even handle it when michael's at school." "Yes, I can, because I still have the twins at home." "And then when they're gone, I'm going to have another one." " hello?" " Hi, how's it going?" " Good." "We're doing the room." " That's good." "This looks great." "Yeah." "I can't believe she made it." "She really made that?" "Yes." "She did." "I think it's beautiful." "I Iove you too." " Yeah?" " Hey, Mom?" "Hi, honey." "How are you?" "What time is it there, honey?" "I always forget the difference." " It's like 5." " Can I call you back?" " Yeah, sure." " Okay." "Thanks for calling." "Mommy, I'm thirsty, bring me a drink." "Can you make it a Scotch and water, Mommy?" "That's the hormones talking." "She doesn't mean it." "well, I don't know what to say." "Angie's been amazing." "We had a rough few weeks at the end of the first trimester when she wanted to repaint the whole house." "well, then just get it for her." "What is it, 1 00 bucks?" "So what?" "She'II have another baby, it'II fit again then." "swallow your pride." "They live in another world, it's like another dimension and with the hormones it doesn't help." "The Vouvray is like buttery, Iike a mango taste whereas your Muscadet is light..." "I'II call you back." "Angie?" "!" "It has been a Iong day, focus, Angie." "I know it's been a Iong day." "Come on, two, three, push!" "Good." "Rest." "Wait for the next contraction." "Get your breath, Angie." "You're doing great." "You're doing great." "Are you ready?" "I need 2 more out of you, Angie." "Look at me, I need you to concentrate." "On three I need a big push." "Are you ready?" "One, two, three, push!" "Look at me, Angie, look at me." "One, two, three." "There you go, Angie." "I see the head." "I see the head." "It's over the crown." "I need 2 more from you." "Big push for the shoulders." "We're almost there." "One two three, push!" "One more, Angie, one more." "Come on, breathe for it." "Now, there we are." "Here we go."

"One more." "Good." "There you go." "That's it, that's it." "This one is beautiful." "I am just so in love with him." "I'm so in love..." "I don't feel like this is real." "This is some joke." "I'm in another planet or something." "Do you mind taking our picture?" "How do you work this thing?" "This is not my jurisdiction." " Did he get an angel name?" " gabriel." "He's gabriel." " Yeah?" " Where have you been?" "They were having a dinner for me." "Something about woman of the year." "well, that's impressive." "Yeah." "It's nothing really." "well, here's something that's not nothing." "Ma, you're a Grandmother." "Oh, my God, that's wonderful, darling." "That's the greatest news." "congratulations." "He is a boy." "A boy!" "Oh, that is wonderful." "Oh, my, Tuesday." "I'II fly out Tuesday." "I am so happy." "I know." "So am I. He's perfect." "Oh, I'm sure he is." "Oh, this is wonderful." "Do you need anyhing?" "Just you." " I wish I couId be there." " I know." " Where are you?" " I'm in the hospital." "The hospital?" "That's where they take you when you have a baby, Mom." "I know." "Are you alright?" "I'm great." "I wish I couId be there right now." "I mean it." "I know." "Tuesday, honey." "I'II see you Tuesday." "Okay." "Bye." " One..." " Two... three... !" "I know, I should have listened to it." " Yours are the best flowers, Barbie." " well, nice thought." "Oh, stop!" "But I Iike these ones from Russ." "He's so sweet." "hello." "They're beautiful and romantic." " How much does he weigh?" " He's huge." " How much did he weigh, Russ?" " 8 pounds, 1 1 ounces." "Big baby." "girls, one last picture." "smile." "Over here." "Fantastic." "Did you know he was going to be a boy?" "I always kind of knew he was a boy." "Who cares what they are as long as they keep quiet." "Barbie, why don't you keep quiet?" "He kind of looked like Mark Spitz." " Who?" " The swimmer." "I was stopped at the light waving, at the dog." "Excuse me..." "He makes me roll down the window, introduces me to the dog..." "What's the matter?" "I don't know what to put for number 1 6." "Just leave it blank." "And so you just gave him your number?" " well, he was cute." " girl, you need to quit!" "And guess what the dog's name was?" " What?" " MarIon." "Hi." "I thought you would want this." "Thank you." " You know what I want to know?" " Sign." " Did you get along with the dog?" " What do you think?" "Good." "That's your pen." "I'd tell you the truth." "I do have fun." "It's a good life." "The time of birth was 1 0:32 p.m. May 4th, 1 999." "An 8 pound 1 1 ounce healthy male." "The expiration was 1 :28 p.m. of the following day." "statistically, male infants are slightly more susceptible to SIDS than females." "Characteristics such as prematurity Iow birth weight, which doesn't apply here maternaI substance abuse, smoking, which also don't apply are considered risk factors for SIDS." "70% of the infants who die of SIDS do not have or have not been exposed to any risk factors." "It's all right here." "I don't know how else to say it." "His heart stopped." "More children die of SIDS every year than of cancer heart disease, pneumonia, child abuse, AIDS cystic fibrosis and muscular dystrophy combined." "You just don't hear about it." "I don't know what else to say." "I know how you must feel." "I'm sorry." "I'm trying to be helpful here." "I'm telling you what is known." "I know." "The best advice I can give is to name the child, bury it, and move on." "We did name him." "You were there." "We should have another autopsy at another hospital." "There's nothing we can do, Angie." "Something must have happened, Russ." "Something went wrong and I want to get another opinion." "asshole!" "I was holding him and he was fine." "The doctor gave me these pills." "I was holding him and he was right there." "He was right there." "He was right there." "He was right there." "Shhh." "It's okay." "It's okay, baby." "It's okay." "Come, baby..." " Where are gabriel's things?" " In a storage." "Angie, I really want to make funeral arrangements." "I don't want to talk about it." "Has anyone talked to Angie yet?" "I ..." "I haven't." "You haven't?" "God." "That's one way of dealing with it, I guess." "What can I possibly say?" "I know." "I ..." "Maybe the best thing for her is to have some time." "Do you know what I mean?" "The Baptism's going to be really hard for her." "I couldn't deal with it." "I don't know how she gets up in the morning much less..." "Jesus!" "Maybe it wouId be a good idea if she didn't go." "She's the Godmother." "Yeah." "Judith, maybe she shouldn't be there." "Do you know what I'm saying?" "Maybe it's too much." "Sometimes it's better when things are out of sight out of mind." "I'm sure that the Iast thing on Angie's mind I mean the Iast fucking thing that she wants to do is go to a Christening." "Oh, God!" "I'm..." "AII I'm saying, Judith, Judith?" "AII I'm saying is maybe april is right, maybe she shouldn't be there." "Did you pick a caterer yet?" "Mr. Babbington." "Oh, my, snooty." "I know." "But I Iove his crepes." "I called a travel agent today." "Why?" "well, I thought it might be a good idea that maybe if we went somewhere..." "Where do you want to go?" "I was thinking about Aruba." "You always wanted to go to Aruba." "To the beach." "It might be nice." "It's off season." " The rate's good." " I don't think so." "I just thought maybe when we got back we'd feel better." "well, why don't you go to Aruba, Russ?" "Maybe you'II feel better." "Oh, that's mine." " That'II be 1 5 dollars, ma'am." " Do you take cards?" "This is express, we take cash only." "Okay, I've got..." "Here's 20." " Do you want paper or plastic?" " Sorry?" "Paper or plastic?" "Excuse me?" "What kind of bag do you want?" "I'II just take both." "Mrs. Lowery?" "Yeah?" "Your pictures are ready." "What pictures?" "The pictures your husband dropped off." "...first time in the supermarket." "We've got pictures!" "Hi, Dickerson." " Judith?" " Hi." " How are you?" " I'm fine." "I've thinking about you so much." "I can't believe how gorgeous you are." "hello." "I'm really sorry I haven't called you yet." "I thought maybe, I don't know what I thought, it's just..." "Oh, my God, I can't believe how cute he is." "You know what?" "We... we have to go to my mother's now and... we are late." "So... maybe we would..." "I'II call you, okay?" "It was really nice to see you." "I'II call you." "alright." "well, say hi to your Mom." "hello." "You're home." " Mom." " Are you alright?" "Yeah." "I just got in." "How's the baby?" " Angie?" " Yeah?" "How's the baby?" "Oh, he's beautiful." "Good." "Listen, everyhing has exploded here and I can't I just can't get away right now." "It's bedlam here and I feel terrible, but I swear that if I leave this place everyhing will faII apart." "alright, well, I'II send you a picture." "Take that." "It's nice, huh?" "That's nice." "What are you doing here?" "I just wanted to come visit you." "You don't know how to knock?" "You don't ring the bell?" "I didn't want to wake Ethan." "You scared the shit out of me." "What did you think I was doing?" "I don't know." "What were you doing?" "I just wanted to see if you're okay." "I was wondering if you needed some help." "No." "I don't want any help." "I just thought you might need me to baby-sit or something." "I don't want you to baby-sit." "That's not..." " I'm sorry." " I'm sorry too." "You just don't know how much you frightened me." "I think you should go." "I didn't mean to frighten you." "You did frighten me." "You really frightened me, I think you should go, alright?" "My God, please don't." "What is it?" "please, you're scaring me, Angie." "Just go." "Angie, please go, please, go." "Lowery..." "It's a transfer you say." "I just talked to you." "I called." "I remember." "The transfer." "The baby, right?" "I told you I remember." "Look, is this it?" "Yes, this is it." "I had it out already." "I'm sorry." "His heart stopped." "I understand that." "What I wanted to know is why." "Why?" "That's the question, that's always the question." "The truth is we don't know." "We don't." "Mrs. Lowery, there are still many unanswered questions in medicine." "This one, this Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, is one of the most painful." "Why?" "Because we don't know." "unfortunately there's nothing I can say that would make it any easier for you." "Nothing at all." "I'm sorry." "I'd Iike to see him." "It's a very invasive procedure." "I'm not sure you'd feel comfortable seeing him." "I want to see him." "Okay." "Are you ready?" "That's not my baby." " Sometimes it's hard to tell." " I know my own son." " After the procedure, they..." " No, it's not my baby." "Oh, I'm sorry." "Okay, here." "That's not my baby." "It is." "It's not my baby." "No, that's okay, watch your show." "I don't think we're going to be late." "It just makes me feel better knowing that you're here." "I've got the number for you in case you need to call Judith." "Otherwise Russ will give you a lift home, won't you honey?" "What the fuck is she doing now?" "Is she going to sit there and watch TV and I'm going to write her a check?" "It makes me feel better knowing someone's home." "Is that a problem?" "I don't get it." "You may be seated." "I now present Ethan Dickerson for baptism." "Do you renounce the spiritual forces of wickedness reject the evil powers of this world and repent of your sin?" "If so, say I do." " I do." " I do." "Do you accept the freedom and power that God gives you to resist evil injustice and oppression in whatever form they present themselves?" "If so, say I do." " I do." " I do." "And will you nurture Ethan in Christ's holy Church?" "He's hungry." "I now invite the God parents to come forward." "Pour out your holy spirit to bless this gift of water and he who receives it to wash away his sin and close him in righteousness throughout his life that dying and being raised with Christ he may share in his final victory." "In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the holy Spirit..." " Hey, how's it going?" " How's it going?" "What's going on?" "Good." "I'm okay." "Yeah." "Do you have a minute?" "Yeah, do you want to come in?" "I just got the new Gavi." "It's iced." " How about going for a walk?" " Do you want to go for a walk?" "Sure, why not?" "We've been friends for a Iong time, right?" " What is it, bill?" " Like 5 years I think." " 5 years, yeah?" " 5 years." "Yeah." "I mean I feel like you and Angie are part of the furniture." "But Judy is a wreck about the whole thing." "I'm sorry to hear that." "You know my heart goes out to you." "What is she a wreck over?" "You're not going to make this harder." "I mean the situation is like..." " Come on, you were at the Church." " You did that, bill." "You did that." "Look, man, we don't know what to do." "We don't." "I just, it's, I feel awful." "I feel..." "I mean it's hard on Judy with the baby." "Not sleeping, nothing, she's totally freaking out." "She is, about Angie and the accident, it's very..." " Very what?" " It's very difficult, man, it's like, it's awkward." "I'm sorry." "I just..." "I just feel like we shouldn't, you know hang around together." " You breaking up with me, bill?" " Or the girls either." "I'm just trying to be a good father." "I'm trying to be a good husband..." "Is that it?" "I don't know." "Things are different now." "They have to be." "It's not Iike they used to be." "No, it's not Iike they used to be." "You're right." "But you can call me anyime." "You should call me anyime." "Anyime." " At the office." " Sure." " What kind do you want?" " A squeezie." "blue." "A blue one." " I'm sorry about that." " Thank you." "Hi." "I'II take 2 of these." "A blue one and a red one." "Wait for me." "Wait for Mommy, Justin." "Look, mommy!" "They don't listen." " How old is he?" " Five." "No, this one." "Oh." "eleven months." " He's beautiful." " Thank you." "Look, mommy!" "Be careful." "He's a monkey." "What's his name?" "Justin." "No, the little one." "Oh." "raphael." " He really is beautiful." " Thank you." "Are you okay?" "Do you want me to hold him?" "Yeah." "Okay." "Thank you." "I'II get Justin." "Justin, what did you do?" "Oh, my God, Angie." " What are you doing?" " I'm just getting some things." "You look like you're almost ready." "should I be getting you something?" "I forgot, what was it, a boy or a girl?" "Angie, that's really not necessary, but, thank you though." "Hey, Barbie." "I couldn't find anyhing." "Who is this?" "Angie, I'm sorry." "I didn't recognize you." "What are you doing?" "She's getting some things." " Oh." "How is Russ?" " He's at work." "So, when are you due?" "well, any day." "Mommy said your baby died." "well, he did." "Do you want me to show you a picture?" "You see this?" "This is gabriel." "KesseI, I think that michael is getting kind of tired." "Maybe it's about time to get the boys to the car and start that up." "Okay?" "Sweetie, why don't you run out to the car with Daddy, okay?" " Go on, I'II see you in a minute." " You were just like him one day..." " You're getting tired?" " ...when you were small." " I'm not tired." " I'II see you in a minute." "Be good." "He's beautiful, Angie." "I'm sorry about michael." "Why?" "well, he's tired and I ..." "Okay, I'II call you, okay?" "Okay." "Okay." "alright." "Yeah." "Bye." ""What to get the mother who has everyhing?"" "How about a vacation?" "Oh, no, well, this is a scandal." ""A little something to break up the monotony"." "well, how about that?" " Put it on now!" " I don't know what to think." "I don't know that would be the best idea, under the circumstances." "Come on, you look sexy, Barbie." "Okay." "KesseI's going to blow a gasket..." "Lord, this hopefully isn't as scandalous as the Iast..." "That's beautiful." "Who is it from?" " hello, Mrs. Lowery." " Hey, roland." " Good news?" " always good news for you." " Here we go." "Have a nice day." " You too." "hello?" "hello?" "What happened?" "I couldn't do it." "Yeah, I couldn't either." "Lani, I'm going to the storage to get some baby's things." "I won't be long." "My name is Angie Lowery and I need to get into my container." "You got the key?" "I don't actually have my key, but I really need to get to my stuff." "Yeah, but you don't have the key." "No, I don't have the key, but I have the bill." "The bill doesn't open the door." "The key opens the door." "My name is on the corner of the bill." "Your name is Mr. RusseI?" " That's my husband." " well, maybe he has the key." "My husband is in the hospital." "He has a serious condition and he asked me to get something for him." "Why didn't he give you the key?" "He didn't give me the key because he forgot." "He's in the goddamn hospital." "He has more important things to think about than a stupid key." "Maybe you can call him?" "You know what?" "He's under heavy sedation." "And he wants his things out of the storage?" "How much do you want?" "That's it." "That's all I have." "only because he's ill." "You go down the yellow hallway go down to the third elevator, go down to level D make a right turn, go through 2 sets of metal doors and 3 intersections, make a right turn and you're there." "And here's the key." "hello?" "hello...?" " Angie?" " Ma?" "Angie, come to Mommy..." "Angie, wake up, baby..." "He's beautiful." "Mommy said your baby died." "He's beautiful, Angie." "He's beautiful, Angie." "Good Morning, how are you?" "Good." "We have multiple contusions to the face and head fractured collar bones, some torn ligaments in the neck and back." "A Iot of bruising." "Pretty much standard stuff for this type of thing." "plenty of rest and in a few days the bandages will come off and she'II be up and running." "She got hit pretty bad." "Do you have a good lawyer?" " Enough?" " Thanks." "So, did anyone called?" "No." "This is the new Gavi." "It should be good." " So, to us." " To us." "No, I'm really happy." "Are you okay?" "Does it hurt?" "No." "I Iove you."
