When the Bough Breaks Page #5

- I guess I fell asleep.

- No problem.

I fall asleep there all the time.

I'd like a cup of coffee.

Doctor says I'm allowed one cup a day.

Okay.

- One cup.

- Thank you.

- God, it's so old.

- Miss Havisham.

She's not old, she's ancient.

I was never really a cat person,

but Laura loves her.

All these years, she treated that cat

just like she was her baby.

But when the real baby comes...

...we'll have to see how old

Miss Havisham reacts then, huh?

I told Laura she's lucky to have you.

A husband who really loves his wife.

Well, I like to think

that I'm the lucky one.

I knew you would say something like that.

Do you wanna feel?

Here. Give me your hand.

I'll show you what it feels like.

Wait, I shouldn't say "it."

It's not an it.

He's your baby boy.

You think it's a boy?

I know it's a boy.

I can feel him.

He isn't even an inch long yet.

But you can feel where

my tummy's starting to change.

Feel that?

How it's harder?

Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I can feel it.

He's growing.

Changing every day.

Can I admit something to you?

It's a little weird that

I'm pregnant with your baby.

That you're inside of me...

...in that way.

Yeah, yeah, that is strange, isn't it?

Yeah.

But we're grateful for that.

Because without you,

we couldn't do any of this.

I like it.

Yep.

Hey, listen, next week we're

having our annual charity event...

...here at the house. You should join us.

- What's it for?

- We like to raise money...

...for the Boys and Girls Club of America.

You're amazing. Yes, I will come.

What's so important?

Good to see you too.

I missed you, baby.

I'm so glad you miss me.

You look nice.

I mean, living up there in that beautiful

big house, that must be nice.

Did you know that you have

their only embryo?

- It's a baby now.

- And they don't have any more.

And in the eyes of the law...

...since it's inside of you,

it belongs to us.

We can decide to keep it for ourselves

anytime we want.

- But I... I thought...

- Don't think.

It's not your thing, baby.

I'm the brains on this.

You're just the uterus.

So here's what you're gonna do.

Every single month, you're gonna say...

...that you're changing your mind,

and you're keeping it.

And they'll pay.

Maybe four grand, maybe more.

Mike.

They've been really good to me.

John really wants to be a father.

Does he?

Does he really?

You're into him.

What do you think is gonna happen, Anna?

You'll live happily ever after

with him in that big house?

He doesn't care about you.

You are like a cow to him.

I'll do it. I'll do it, Mike. I'll do it.

I know you will.

I'll do it. I'll tell them.

I'll do it for you, baby.

Anything you want.
