"We're Going to Go and See a Dinosaur"

Jax: Hey, how are you?

Viola: Good. How are you?

Jax: Thanks for dropping her off. Tell Alexis not to worry. Courtney and I will take very good care of her. Guess what we're going to do today, Kristina. Hey, we're going to go and see a dinosaur. That's right, a great big brontosaurus, right in the entry hall of the museum.

Ned: Hey.

Jax: Hey.

Ned: Whoa! Who do we have here? Kristina, hello.

Viola: Goodbye, Mr. Jacks.

Jax: Ok, I'll have her back by 8:00.

Ned: Don't you look pretty.

Viola: Have a good time, Kristina.

Ned: Where are you going?

Jax: Natural History Museum. Isn't that right?

Ned: Really? Just you and Kristina?

Jax: And Courtney. She's her aunt, and I'm kind of her honorary godfather, aren't I? We take her out sometimes for ice cream and to the park. You know, it's fun for all of us. Isn't it?

Ned: Yeah. You see her more than I do. I was her father for the first two years of her life, and now I have to pretend like it never happened.

Jax: Easier said than done?

Ned: Yeah, because once you become a parent, you love a child, you can't really stop.

Jax: Here we go. Yeah, I know. I'd rather be eating cookies, too, but I don't think Aunt Courtney would be very happy with me if I loaded you full of sugar and got you all wound up before we went to the museum. So, I'll do you a deal, ok? After we see all the exhibits and the dinosaur skeletons and skeletons of big whales and everything, then we'll stop off at Galliard's Chocolates and we'll pig out, ok? That's if Aunt Courtney remembers to meet us. Maybe she's stuck in a meeting or something. Oh.

Bridget: Hi, Mr. Jacks.

Jax: Hey, Bridget.

Bridget: Hi, Kristina.

Jax: You know, we're supposed to be meeting Courtney. Do you know where she is?

Bridget: Oh, sorry. She must be handling my paperwork.

Jax: Did she find you a new foster home?

Bridget: No, something much better. I've changed my mind about the adoption. I'm going to take back my baby and I'm going to raise her myself.
