you're lucky.

Why don't

I need sun-screen?

'Cause your skin can't burn,

it's already brown.

It's so incredible

what your mother did.

She must be a saint.

She did it for herself.

She was lonely.

Still,

it's so much work.

I don't know anyone who would

adopt a kid at that age.

She saved that girl's life.

She does do a lot for her.

- Okay.

- Okay.

Maddy:
Look, Mommy,

look at me.

That's nice, honey.

That's good.

That's so good.

Is she all right?

She's playing.

Oh.

She can hold her breath

a long time.

Yeah, she just

wants our attention.

Annie?

Annie!

Stop it.

What!

That's not funny.

You made us nervous.

Sorry.

It was definitely the hardest thing

I've ever done.

But I felt like I really

accomplished something.

I asked for the epidural

when I wasn't even dilated.

I didn't mind the pain.

I felt like a different person

when it was over.

If I could tolerate that,

I could tolerate anything.

- Donna:
You made it.

- Hey, guys.

- Hi, sweetie.

- Hi, Daddy.

I had no idea your brave wife

did natural childbirth.

- She's phobic about medication.

- Donna:
(laughs)

That's not why.

They sell wrapping paper

already made, you know?

This is handmade

wrapping paper.

Let's go visit Mom.

She's still in recovery.

We'll go later.

I want to be there

first thing.

We have to wait

for Bill to get back.

Where is he?

He went to help Donna

get a stereo.

- I want to go now.

- No, later.

You're not the boss of me.

I am too,

when Mom's not here.

F*** you.

F*** you.

(phone rings)

Hello.

Oh, hi.

Is she out yet?

Hi, Mama.

Is it over?

Yeah.

- How do you feel?

- Nauseous.

I hurt so much.

I never should have done this.

How are we doing,

Jane?

I might throw up.

It hurts too much.

You're gonna

feel better soon.

We're gonna have to keep

your mom here a couple of days.

Because she's nauseous?

She needs IV fluids

for the dehydration

which resulted from fluid shifts

that occurred during the surgery.

It's not uncommon.

I did...

I'm happy to tell you...

remove 10 pounds

of fat.

I think you'll be

very pleased.

You're welcome.

I thought it was supposed

to be outpatient.

Supposedly,

it's not that big a deal.

Lots of patients

have to stay over.

It sucks because Mom said

the nurses don't want

to pay attention to her because

she had cosmetic surgery.

Her doctor's gorgeous.

Mom's lying there

and you're looking at her doctor?

It's not like I can't do

two things at once.

Still.

There's no still.

Thank you.

This food

looks disgusting.

I think it looks good.

That's so weird.

He should be home by now.

I know, yeah...

Don't worry,

I'm sure everything is fine.

He probably just went
