Mothers and Daughters Page #8

Why didn't you tell me this was

what you were working on?

I happen to be pretty good at

launching hot, new designers.

Really?

I don't know.

I thought what if

you hated them?

What if you thought

that I sucked at this?

I wanted to earn your praise,

not be entitled to it.

Well...

Hm...

This is the one.

It's sleek.

It's architectural.

It's classic.

It's you.

I like this one, too.

I, um...

I can't tell if I get it

from her or from you.

So...

Why didn't you just tell

me you wanted to meet her?

I didn't think I did.

When Trisha got sick, it

made me wanna know more

about my medical history,

so I sent a letter.

And then when Trisha died,

I thought what if that were me.

Oh, honey, it's not...

No, mom, I mean it.

I thought what if I go

my entire life without

getting a chance to

just look at her?

I mean, I can't describe

it, but you have no idea

what it's like to not know

a single person who has

your hands or your eyes

or your crooked teeth.

I just...

I just wanted to see her.

Are you mad?

No.

It's...

it's as natural as breathing.

Honey, everybody wants to

know where they come from.

You know, I'm always so

amused that I have that

same crinkle here in

my nose like grandma.

And then I sit in the car

with my purse on my lap

just the same way.

She lives in my building

and she's working with you.

I mean, that's a

weird coincidence.

Oh, it's not a

coincidence.

I think it's a mother's instinct

to search for her child.

I am sure that someway she was

looking for you her whole life.

Thanks, mom.

And anyway, I'm just...

I'm just so

dang impressed.

I'm so proud of you.

I love you, mom.

Oh!

More than, well...

Just more and more.

[laughing]

I love you, too.

[soft music]

-Surprise!

-Surprise!

[laughs]

We know it's Mother's Day, but

can I still call you Beth?

Oh my god.

You did all this?

Well, I had help.

So much for

soccer practice.

And you!

Aw!

Mm!

Alright, who

wants champagne?

-I do.

-I do.

Can I have some?

-No!

-No!

Come on, you guys.

Here, help me.

Come on.

I missed you so much.

I missed you, too.

And I'm sorry it's

been so long, I just...

You needed time.

I did.

I really did.

You know, I'm just...

I'm just lucky

to have you.

No more secrets.

No!

No more secrets.

Alright, toast time.

For you. For you.

No, you get

the little one.

No, that's for you.

To mothers, who by any

other name, just as sweet.

Thank you.

-Cheers.

-Cheers.

[upbeat music]

[exhales]

[sirens]

Hey.

How you doing?

You okay?

Mhm, yeah.

I'm good.

I'm okay.

I can do this,

Doctor Conrad.

Call me Andrew.

You're gonna do

great, Rigby.

But I gotta tell

you something.

Hm.

I can't be your

doctor today.

What are you

talking about?

Now?

Now.

Why do doctors keep

doing this to me?

[exhales]

Listen, just

listen to me, Rigby.

I'm not married.

I've never been married.

I don't have any kids.

I use the ring to keep a

professional distance from

my patients, but with

you, it didn't work.

I don't know if you have

any feelings for me, but

if there's even the

slightest chance.

I can't go into that

delivery room with you.

-Really?

-Yeah.

I think I have to be the

keeper of the mysteries.

Is that okay?

You're gonna go great.

Hi, Rigby.

I'm Doctor Barnard.

I'll be bringing your girl

into the world today.

[upbeat music]

[inaudible whispering]

Going to see grandma.

You ready?

[baby crying]

Lydia.

Meet Lydia.

[baby crying]

I'll take her out.

It's okay, baby.

It's okay.

[baby crying]

I just...

I need to tell

you I'm sorry.

Mom.

I love you.

I love you.

[soft crying]

Mom.

[soft music]

I had my daughter, mom.

She's just starting to

look like something that

might turn into a person.

I was so scared.

But now looking back on

all the lives and stories

of others, I know

it will be alright.

Some people can't see the

love they have until they

see it through

someone else's eyes.

Some people

have no mother.

And others have

more than one.

Others don't see that mothers

come in all shapes and sizes.

Sometimes there

for just a moment.

And sometimes they

remain for a lifetime.

Her name is your name.

So that when mine

dissolves into Mom,

yours can come to life again.

Every time I call to her.

Lydia.

I hope your last thought

before you slipped into

the darkness of your mind

was that I would remember

everything about you.

Everything.

[R&B music]

I would never let a tear

fall from your eyes

No, no, no, no

'Cause everything

you are to me

Ooh, I could never

let you hurt inside

You mean so much and

I'm so thankful that

you're in my life

And I appreciate your love

and all your sacrifice

Without you by my side,

I never could survive

I wouldn't be the woman

standing here before your eyes

You've taught me strength

and you gave me guidance

Whenever faith was lost,

you were there to find it

And all because a mother's

love is unconditional

With all my heart and all my

soul I wanna let you know

That I thank you,

I thank you

And I love you,

I love you

And I will never place

anyone above you

Said I thank you,

I thank you

And I love you,

I love you

And I will never, ever

place no one above you

You have given me life

And I just want

you to know

That you're the

reason I'm here today

I will never let go to

everything that we share

And nothing can compare

I thank you,

I thank you, I thank you

Here's what I'm sayin'

See, I've been blessed to be

raised by a woman so strong

Cause even when I

did things wrong

You would show me just the

way that I should carry on

You kept me safe, and you

protected me with all you had

And any time I was in need

you gave your very last
