Cancel the cytotec.

Schedule an ultrasound to confirm

the presence of a stone.

- Maybe you should just pull over.

- Where?

A**hole.

Are you okay?

Do you hear that?

Madeline:

She isn't moving.

Call Patricia.

Shelly:
The police are

coming with an ambulance.

She won't go.

She needs to go

to a regular hospital.

They'll induce her.

She won't go.

The baby's dead, Patty.

Patty:
She'll deliver

on her own in three weeks.

Shelly:
She can't make

that decision right now.

She doesn't know what she wants.

She knows exactly

what she wants.

Henry?

What's the matter?

- What?

- This room is a pigsty.

- It looks okay to me.

- Pick up your room!

Clean up!

Vivian, it's okay.

Don't.

Thank you.

Henry?

Henry?

Michael... Michael.

Michael's voice on answering machine:

Hi, you've reached the Mathesons.

Before you know it, we're gonna

have a teenager on our hands,

so leave a message

while you can still get through.

Madeline, it's Patty.

We should talk soon

about the delivery.

You should try to get out. It's not good

for you to be too stationary right now.

Um, call me, okay?

Did you find

what you were looking for?

Miss?

All right, Mad, you're doing great.

See me, see me, see me.

Look look look.

Look here, right here.

Breathe breathe.

It's okay now. You're gonna be okay.

You're gonna be okay.

Madeline, we're gonna

move you now.

- Up we go, smooth motion.

- Traveling traveling.

And shifting.

Coming around.

Get the arms around her.

The baby's descended.

We've got to put her in the tub.

She's in too much pain.

In the tub, in the tub.

Melissa, you need

to bring her back here.

- She's too tight.

- I've got her.

- I've got left... up!

- Okay, come on, get her back in.

Give me the left. We've got you,

we've got you, we've got you.

Shifting!

You'll be okay, all right.

All right, all right.

Get her head.

- Ow, I'm tearing!

- No no no.

You're not tearing, baby.

Push push push.

Can I hold her?

Please?

Suction.

Suction.

Do it now.

You're so little.

Do you know how much

I want you to stay?

Please stay.

Madeline, you can't

will a baby back to I...

...life.

It's Grace.

Her name is Grace.

Did you put those photos aside?

Vivian on phone-

Did you put those photos aside?

Madeline:
It's been hard packing

his things, Vivian. I'm sorry.

Vivian:
I can stop by today

if you'd just put them in a box for me.

I'll spend some time with the baby.

I'm sure you could use the help.

- Ow.

- Was that the baby?

- What's wrong?

- Nothing. She's fine.

Let's make an appointment

for you to see a doctor.

Vivian, I have to go.

Why not just go in

and see Dr. Sohn?

Because Dr. Sohn isn't my doctor.

I know you've been seeing your friend,

but a midwife isn't a doctor.

- She is a doctor.

- If you can't get out to his office

I can ask him to stop by for a visit.

Vivian, this is a bad time.

I have to go.

- I will be leaving work a little early.

- My mother-in-law.

Vivian:
It would be great

to have a little time with her.

I'm sure she'd love to see her

grandmother

and I know Henry is just

dying to see her.

And I'm sure you'd love

an opportunity to retrench.

- Patty:
Hey, there.

- No, I can take care of her.

- Bye, Vivian.

- Don't forget the photos.

She breast-fed Michael

till he was three years old.

She misses him.

Um, I'm sorry.

Can I use your bathroom?

Oh, I got these.

I realized that I never gave you

a congratulations gift.

It's like a women's version

of a cigar, I guess. Heh.

Idiot.

The pressure is applied

intermittently between bleedings

to preserve the animal's blood

in its own body and ensure

the freshness of samples.

The blood must be centrifuged

before clotting begins...

Pleasant.

Animal Channel... I'm hooked.

It's like a vegan horror movie.

- Thanks for coming.

- Yeah, of course.

Oh, hey! You know what?

I got her something.

Um, here.

PachelBaby's my favorite.

Oh, and...

- You didn't have to do all this.

- Sure, I did.

Toy:

I love to hug my kitty.

- Patty:
God, she's beautiful.

- She hardly ever cries.

- How are you doing?

- No complaints.

Nipples hurt a little bit.

Keep those things stimulated,

you'll be able to nurse till you're 60.

- Neuroendocrine reflex.

- You got it.

- How was the blood work?

- It was all normal.

Of course it was.

Madeline, I know that you do not

want to take her to the hospital,

but there are some tests

that can help us understand...

We're not a case study.

- I don't need to understand a miracle.

- Madeline...

If it were up to them

she would be dead.

You said you could take care of anything

she needs. If you don't want to help...

- No, all right, I get it.

- ... I'll find somebody else.

Oh, Dr. Jones!

The prominent

North American rat surgeon lives.

Oh, he's huge.

Do you remember what Tracey Sullivan

used to call the three of us?

Ma and Pa and Baby J.

Don't.

I'm sorry.

How about this?

Grace, okay okay.

All right, out you go.

Oh my God!

Oh, Jonesy.

All clean!

No more bugs, no more stinky.

Hi, my girl.

Come on.

# The stars in heaven #

# Tucked in the sun #

# And each little flower #

# Knows this day is done #

# And one lonesome bird sings #

# A quiet good night #

# My sweet little angel #

# It's time for good night #

# So sleep and dream #

# Just close your eyes #

# And I'll be here waiting #

# The moment you rise #

# So sleep little angel #

# It's time for good night. #

Baby, bath time's over.

Don't cry. I'm sorry.

Machine:

You've reached Nature Birth.

Leave a message and we'll

get back to you after the miracle.

Grace has a really bad rash...

she smells funny.

I don't know.

I put her in the tub...

I really don't know what happened.

The temperature was fine.

Maybe it was the soap.

I don't know, can you call me back?

Oh, piece of crap.

I know, okay okay okay.

I know, sweetie.

I know, I know.

Let's have a nice snack.

Shh-hhh.

Shhh. Here we go.

Here we go.

All right, all right.

Come on, Gracie.

Okay, let's lay down.

Are you okay?

Yeah.

- Are you going somewhere?

- No.

Uh, well, I don't know.

I thought it might be fun to go

for a road trip or something.

You know, get away?

- From me?

- No, of course not.

She's sick.

Whatever you had with her

is over.

Are you ready for a snack?

Oh, honey.

Okay.

Gentle, honey.

Ahh!

Ow!

Ow.

Sweetheart.

You have to eat something.

Oh...

Please, honey.

You need to eat something.

Baby, please.

Okay, Mommy needs a break.
