Did I let you?

On the first date?

I was bad.

You were so bad

that you were, oh, so good.

John.

I want to.

Having them here...

...it just brings it all back.

- I understand.

- I'm sorry.

It's okay. It's okay, babe.

It's all right.

We're gonna do this, aren't we?

She's the one.

Ready?

All right, hold still.

It's gonna feel like a little stick.

All right. Don't move.

I'm placing the embryo. Don't move.

You're doing good.

And there.

All right. Here we go.

- I'll take that.

- Thank you.

All right, we're done. You did great.

Thank you.

Good job.

People always talk about

how they know the moment...

...when their child was conceived.

A wedding night or a special date.

But I will know for sure...

...it was this moment.

The baby could be starting

its life right now.

It's strange.

It just keeps hitting me

how strange it is.

I mean, it's against the law

to pay someone to have sex...

...but you can pay a woman to get

pregnant with your child?

- Imagine how it is for the boyfriend.

- She said she loves him.

She doesn't hesitate,

doesn't question it...

...she just loves him.

She asked if it was the same with us.

But it wasn't, was it?

We worked hard.

And we hung in there.

But it was worth it.

Yeah, it was.

When I was working on this room...

...sometimes I would just...

...close my eyes

and imagine you in here...

...playing with our baby.

It's gonna work this time.

Hey.

We're gonna have a family.

We need to do more research

on that section of pollution, 11.62.

Once we have that going on...

- You guys go ahead. I gotta take this.

- All right, John.

- Hey, babe. Just got out of court.

- John.

John, you're gonna be a father.

What?

Anna's here and...

She took a home test.

She took three of them...

...and all three of them were positive.

Oh, my God. I'm gonna be a father.

Anna's sitting here watching me

bawl my eyes out.

- Babe.

- Yeah.

- Hey, Mama.

- Hey, Daddy.

- I want her to go to Yale.

- No, no. He is gonna go to LSU.

- Law review.

- First female president.

Okay.

Anna's in the shower. She's gonna

come say hi when she's done.

- Okay. You guys going to yoga together?

- Yep.

I didn't know how I'd feel

about somebody else's body...

...going through everything

but I really like this girl.

I really like you.

- I really like you.

- I really love you.

I didn't know he was here.

- He came home early.

- No, Anna, this is... Oh, it's...

This is great news.

It's great news.

This is good work, John.

If this is right, they got nowhere to run.

Well, unless they draw

Judge Steve Paulson.

He doesn't believe in

corporate negligence.
