Oh, man!

F*** me.

Okay.

Calm down.

Just chill.

Dogs, yeah, right house.

Back, back.

Hey... no, back guys.

One second.

Who was that guy?

Hey. Wrong house, I think.

Is Robyn here?

Yes. Yeah, you

Yes. And you are?

I'm Alex.

Oh, hi. And you're...

I'm Briana's husband.

Oh, the new daddy.

Yes, yes. Hey, do you want me to...

Congrats... no. I got it.

I got it.

All right.

I'm totally cool.

Well, nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you, too.

Yeah.

Wow! So, how old

is the baby now?

Oh, three months. About three months.

Krisha?

- Krisha!

- Robyn, hi.

Oh, my god. I was beginning to worry.

Hi, honey, I'm so sorry.

I... just don't even ask.

I can't believe you're here.

I know, honey.

I'm kinda sweaty, you don't wanna hug

me too tight. Oh, I do wanna hug you.

I want to look at you.

It's been so long.

Oh, god! Just crazy,

I'm so sorry that I'm late.

The GPS totally lied to me.

She's a totally lying b*tch.

What do you mean... She was

out to get me, you know.

And my phone was broken and...

Hi, hi. Good to see you. I'm sweaty, sorry.

How are you?

Can we take that for you?

No, no. I got it. I got it.

Vicki.

Vicki, look who's here.

I'm going to get out the way here

and let you guys have a hug.

Oh, my god.

I missed you.

You look beautiful.

Oh yeah, I look old and fat.

But thank you.

You are not, you look beautiful.

Oh, no! No! You've got a

lot of people to see.

Oh, where did the

blond hair go, dude?

When did the beard happen?

Just this morning.

Just this...

Oh... oh, no,

this is not a thing.

Oh, my gosh... oh, honey...

Hi.

Isn't it awesome?

Everybody's growing up.

I knew you would.

Hi. So good to see you.

You, too.

Hey, mom, where's dad?

Oh, Briana...

It's so good to see you.

Honey...

You look so beautiful.

Hi.

She's just waking up.

She's so little.

Isn't she beautiful?

Good job, Alex.

Thank you.

Isn't she cute. Little baby rose.

Aw, look at her smile.

That's so sweet.

Oh, hey, Doyle.

Hey.

How are you, Krisha?

You look so well preserved.

What?

Ever Doyle.

What happened to the gate?

Oh, I kind of broke it

when I was letting Krisha in.

- Sorry, let me put this down.

- You can fix it, right?

Krisha, did you want some water

or something? Yeah, ice.

Ice water?

Hi.

You want me to get your bag? No.

No, it's fine. I'll put it in

your room right up here. Okay.

You all right, sweetie?

You all right?

He's so big.

I know.

I'm good.

Yeah, I've got to run to the car and

get some stuff. Be right back, okay?

Yeah, no. I'm good, David.

I got it. I got it.

I got it. No. I'll be right back.

I'll be right back.

Who did this?

Did you do this?

That's a good boy.

Now, don't look at me that way, okay?

It's only for a few days.

There we go...

Gonna be mama's good boy.

Chase, dude,

game's on, game's on.

Dude, I'm trying

to hit the ceiling.

Chase, what do you think I'm

going to ask you to stop doing?

What do you think any parent

on god's green earth is going

to ask their child to stop doing? What

they should not be doing in the house?

Stop bouncing that ball!

- Come on. Come on.

- Go outside

with one of those

hairy-looking a**holes.

Hey Krisha, how's it looking?

It's perfect.

Okay, you feel like we got everything?

You have, you did a great...

Oh, my gosh. Sweetheart,

what are you doing over there?

I have an entire cabinet full of

Tupperware and there is no lids.

Honey, second shelf.

I see it. Just grab it.

It's right there. I got it, I got it.

I'm sorry.

What's the matter?

I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

Enjoy yourself, okay?

Oh, I'm getting a call.

You're getting a call. Okay.

Do you want me to help you?

It's vibrating.

Well, get it.

You can call them back if you

miss it, it's not that...

Oh, my gosh, honey!

I lost it.

Okay, okay, you can call them back.

Go, go on...

Oh, hello? Steve?

Steve? Yes.

Oh, my god, sorry.

That's my husband

for you. Okay, all right.

Okay, so secret ingredient.

Yes.

And the red onion.

Yes, because of the smell.

Aunties.

Oh.

Sorry, Krisha. She's a little jumpy.

She lives by herself.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Yeah, I'm hiccy-uppy.

Oh, you're doing laundry?

Yeah, Darks.

Do you have any? I have Darks.

I have workout clothes.

Oh, perfect, I just need

to fill out the load.

Aunt Krisha, you don't have anything?

No, no, I'm good.

I'm wearing my Darks.

First and ten!

First and ten! First and ten!

Ooh! Sorry, love.

Sorry. Eventually we'll get this done.

One single most...

important question...

That's what I'm

talking about, baby!

Dude!

What?

Don't hit me with

a pillow, it hurts.

The pillow has buttons on it

and when it hits you...

This is like a mutant.

I know. It's huge.

But we have... Look at the people.

I know, it's time.

And I was late. I was late,

so I get it.

Mutual respect for

personal space.

Oh, my god, okay.

They are way loud.

Okay. Hey, BB, Augustine, come here, guys.

I've got to tell you all something.

Okay listen,

this is super important.

Um, we, Vicki and I,

are going to pick up GG

and so it's going to take us,

like, several hours.

We got to get down there,

we got to dress her.

I mean, it's a holiday,

we got to bring her back.

So, Krisha, if you realize you're

missing an ingredient, you call.

Oh, wait, your phone

doesn't work...

I have a phone.

Will you call?

Yes.

I think we got everything.

But, you know, if we're

missing anything.

Or one of these lazy boys

can go to the store.

Okay? Krisha, it's going

to be all right, right?

I'm good. I'm good.

You wanted to do it.

I do. It's important to me.

Okay. I appreciate it, I really

do, but I gotta go get GG.

You want her here, right?

Yeah.

Okay, all right. I'll see you

guys in a little bit. Okay.

Hey, Dave, babe,

did you find the bottle?

Just ask them now.

I... I'll ask. I'll ask.

Do you have everything you need?

Who goes out and picks up

dog sh*t in nice boots?

Come here. Come here, you. Good boy.

Come here. Who's a big guy?

Come here, sweetie.

All right, you got it.

Oh, lord loves a working man,

that's slimy as all get out.

You ready? You ready for this?

You ready?

One, two, three.

Oh! God, I'm sorry,

that was me there...

Stay.

Stay.

See you guys later.

It's all good.

You ready?

You ready, chase?

Yes.

Positive thinking.

Oh!

Just grab a mug.

You know, you could always

model for baseball trophies.

You know, you're about

the right size or whatever.

I could see you just popping

up on top of a mantle.

Hey, Krisha, wait, wait, wait.

Whoa!

Let me help you.

Let me help you.

It's way heavier than I thought.

It's like 30 pounds.

All right, now, you hold
