the procedure's a bust, what then?

- It'll work.

- You can't say that with certainty.

Look, no-one can say anything

with any certainty.

Even a routine pregnancy is fallible.

But if I can speak plainly

what more do you have to lose?

Her. Jessie.

She's pinned every hope in the world on this.

And I won't let her down, or you.

You have my word on that.

Is this for real?

For now.

I can't believe this place.

Hey.

- Look at this.

- What is it?

Oh, my God! Paul!

Do you know what we could put down here?

Darkroom?

- How you feeling?

- I'm OK.

Jessie!

Hon?

I'm back!

I'm home to our...

...big home!

Hey!

Hi.

You said we'd never have a party in here.

- Come on, come on, push it, push it.

- I can't!

No, it hurts!

You're fully dilated.

The head's already crowning.

Something's wrong!

- No, no, no.

- Something's wrong!

It's coming out. You can see the head.

- Push, push, push, push!

- Keep pushing.

Push. Push.

- Come on, push, push, push.

- Come on, come on.

Oh, there we go. OK.

All right. All right.

We're out. We're out.

It's OK.

Let me just hear you.

Let me just hear you scream.

Come on. Come on.

It's great. He's all right.

It's great.

I just need some breath from him.

- He's all right.

RICHARD:
OK. How long?

- We'll have to bag him.

What's wrong?

- 39...

- 40 seconds.

- Come on, come on.

- 42, 43...

Oh, baby. Oh, baby.

That was the same as last time

remember?

It's him. You wanted to give us

a scare, didn't you?

Oh, thank you, God.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Here you go, kiddo.

Good night, Adam.

My little boy.

I still think it's a little strange.

It's his name.

It's always been his name - Adam.

Here you go, buddy.

- Who wants cake?

- Uncle Richard!

Happy Birthday, Adam.

So how's work going?

It's good. It's good. Nice kids.

Bright, too.

I don't know. Sometimes I feel like

I'm teaching fish to swim.

At a Club Med.

You don't still miss your old school?

No, no. It's...

It's more like I miss missing it.

Uncle Richard!

Wanna help me fly it?

Let's get it up there.

Keep it away from the trees.

So what was this word you said?

Ree-servoier.

It's a science word, Uncle Richard.

We've been learning about

natural resources in school.

Oh, you mean a reservoir.

Well, that's a lot like a lake

only it's a man-made lake.

But I thought God made everything.

In a way he did

if you believe he created those people

who figured out

how to make a reservoir, right?

Hey, kiddo!

Why don't you come on inside?

Say goodbye to your friends.

Thank you, Adam.

- Bye.

- Bye, Paul.

Adam!

Bye!

Hey!

Birthday boy!

How many times I gotta tell you?

You can't leave your toys around.

Somebody's going to trip and...
