My daughter is about to deliver

and I need to get her in.

I don't want her to feel any pain.

I want the baby to be healthy. Get it? Good.

- If I could get you to fill out...

- I wouldn't mess with her if I were you, OK?

Right.

- Wow.

- She's having a baby.

Stay calm! Can we get a chair over here?!

- Get me in a wheelchair.

- I need a wheelchair, stat!

Get the chair!

- Oh, my God. Oh, my God.

- Good luck.

It must be this way.

That way. All right.

Family only in the delivery room.

- Whoa, whoa! You're all family?

- Yes.

- Help me out here.

- I'm her mother.

- Of course.

- Kate.

Do your thing.

- OK, come on. Let's go.

- Tom, actually, we'd like Lorraine to come.

We want you to be the godmother.

Really?

Whoa! Having a baby here!

- We'll try to get you a linebacker, Tom.

- Come on, everybody. Come on.

This is a hospital. You guys have to be quiet.

Tom.

You mind if we wait with you?

That'd be great.

They're good kids, Jimmy. All of 'em.

And you're saying we have

nothing to do with it?

They're born hard-wired.

- Look what we found.

- Check it out.

Hey. Just be sure and disinfect them.

It's a bedpan, Kenny. Take it off.

- So your kid gets my kid to wear a bedpan...

- I didn't tell him to do it.

You look in the face of a six-month-old

and that's the way they are.

- Hey.

- Hey.

You, uh... Iook like

you have something to say.

I'm done with the city, Dad. I'm gonna open

up my own garage and I'm moving up here.

And I wanna audit art classes at Madison.

- Pardon me?

- Dad, I wanna be an artist.

- Oh, I don't think that's gonna happen.

- Dude, dude.

Jimmy.

Although it does sound pretty exciting.

- Sweetheart, is this what you really want?

- I'm sure.

You know, Annie,

I was just trying to be a good father.

I know.

- What do you think?

- Sounds like you got your mind made up.

I do. You OK with that?

Yeah. I think I am.

Excuse me. Tom?

You wanna meet your grandson?

Yeah.

You did a good job, honey. Really good job.

That's a big boy. Too bad

he wasn't there to help us win the cup.

He'll get a chance.

Mike Romanow gave me a deal.

Now we own the big house at the lake.

It'll be nice having you

in the neighbourhood, Bud.

You Murtaughs better start cranking out

grandkids if you wanna compete.

You guys. My godchild is trying to snooze.

So, any ideas on names?

I think we're going to go with "Tom".

Cos you taught us

that there's no way to be a perfect parent,

but a million ways to be a really good one.

And you're about as good as they get.

Say hi to Grandpa.

Go on.

OK.

You're so beautiful.

Tom. Hey, Tom.

Welcome to family.

(# "Sunday Morning" by Maroon 5)

# Sunday morning rain is falling

Letting go is the hardest thing

you can do as a parent.

You have to settle with the past,

engage in the present,

and believe in the future.

That vacation at Lake Winnetka reminded Tom

and me that we 're always learning as parents,

and that the bond is forever.

Even as the kids grow up

and venture out on their own,

we 'll always be with them

and they'll always be with us.

Because life is a voyage

that's homeward bound.

# That someday it would lead me back to you

# That may be all I need

# In darkness she is all I see

# Come and rest your bones with me

# Driving slow on Sunday morning

# And I never want to leave

# My fingers trace your every outline

(# "Express Yourseif")

# Express yourself

# Express yourself

# Well, you don 't ever need help

from nobody else

Is this my normal face?

Yay!

Hi, Poo-poo. You want a treat?

Oh!

Can I redo that?

What are we gonna do?

She'll never walk again, I'll tell you that.

# Some people handle everything

and then other people don't

# But everything don't mean a thing

Well, if it ain't the thing you want

# Express yourself

# Express yourself

# Do it, do it, do it, do it, yeah

# Do, do, do, do, do it now

# You can do it

# Put your mind to it,

everybody wants to do it now

# Express yourself

# Express yourself

# Do, do, do, do, do, do

# You can express yourself now

# Express yourself

# Don 't settle for nothing less

# Express yourself

# Come on, yeah, get it on

# Express yourself

# That's right

# Well, express yourself

# Well, express yourself

# As you can do it, express yourself

(# "What if" by Gina Rene)

# Hey, it's funny how

# Everything is changing

# Trying to figure it out

# So these passive days

# You and me together

# Going separate ways

# And everything I see is a blur

# What if we could stay like this?

# Sun coming down, everything's perfect

# What if we never miss another day?

# Would time forget?

# What if we

# What if we stayed like this?

# What if we stayed like this?

# Although as time passes

# We get stronger

# What if we could stay like this?

# Sun coming down, everything's perfect

# What if we never miss another day?

# Would time forget?

# What if we

# What if we stayed like this?

# What if we stayed like this?
