All right, eat, eat, eat. [Alexis
sighs] Alexis:
I know you miss Molly -- I miss her, too -- but we're going to see
her real soon. Kristina:
When? Alexis:
Now. We're going to go over there this morning, ok? Because we can
go over whenever we want, so we're going to be there a lot. And
you can go see her new room and you can play with her toys, and
then after that, Mommy's going to have to go over to the hospital
again. Kristina:
Why? Alexis: Because I got to take some more of that yucky medicine. Hey, hey -- listen to me. Oh, boy. You have to take a lot, don't you? Come here, come here, come here, come here, come here -- ooh!
Now,
you know if I don't take the medicine, I'm not going to get better,
so, really, the medicine isn't so yucky, it's good for Mommy. And
as soon as I feel all better, we're going to bring Molly home. Kristina:
Promise? Alexis: I promise, promise, promise that you, me, and Molly are all going to be together again, ok? Ric:
All right, come on, just one bite. Oh, please, one bite? Oh, good
-- oh, I know -- come on, one bite. Yeah, it's -- I know it's not
the best in the world. I know, honey. Look -- oh, I know you're
having a tough time getting used to everything -- a new house, a
new nanny. It's going to take some time getting used to, but I swear
daddy's going to be much better at this, I promise, I promise. But
right now, just -- just go ahead and eat. You'll feel a lot better.
Oh, honey, don't cry. Don't cry -- here, you want that? Here it
comes -- huh? Oh, mmm. That's better. Ok? Ok -- oh, too much here.
Let me get that out of there. All right, we're going to get that
right out of here, ok. [Phone
rings] Ric: Oh -- oh. All right, you know, you stay -- you chew, ok? Just keep chewing. Keep chewing, all right? You ok? I'm right over here. See, look, daddy's right over re, ok? And now he's going to answer the phone, that's all I'm going to do. That's all I'm going to do, ok? A few seconds. I'm just going to grab the phone right here. I swear, I'm going to grab the phone here, ok? I got it, and -- ok.
[Ring]
Ric: All right, ok -- all right, you're not -- you're not going to make this easy on me, are you? All right, all right, just -- just hold it -- hold it just -- just a second, baby, all right? Yes, hello? No, I already told the mayor that I'm not coming in today. I don't -- I don't care who's been arrested, all right? I -- I told you before, this is my daughter's first day in her new house, and I am not leaving her.
Ric:
Hey, Kristina. How are you, sweetheart? Oh, Molly has been waiting
to see you, but you know what? She's taking a nap right now, so
why don't you just go sit over there and wait, ok? Come on in. Alexis:
Thank you for letting us come. Ric:
I said "anytime." Woman:
I'm looking for Molly's bunny. Oh -- Ric:
Alexis, this is Sally. This is Molly's new nanny. This is Molly's
mother, and this is her big sister, Kristina. Sally:
It's nice to meet you. Alexis: Hi. Nice to meet you. Mr. Bunny's a godsend, huh? Sally:
That's what I hear. Alexis:
She also has a pink blanket, likes as much as Mr. Bunny, but she
just holds onto the tag, and -- and she just likes it over her body
-- Alexis:
Exactly. Sally:
Mr. Lansing told me. Alexis:
Yes, I'm sure he did. Ric:
So, Kristina, what do you think of the new house, huh? You like
it? Alexis:
It's very nice. It's not exactly what I thought it would be. Ric:
Why do you say that? Alexis:
Well, because you hated the commute from the lake house -- you thought
it was too far -- and yet you bought a house that's even farther
away than that. Ric:
Well, I just thought that Molly needed a house that she could grow
into. You know, it's really perfect. You should see the backyard
-- it's huge. There's enough space for a swing set and a stable.
I know it's a little early for Molly to be riding a pony, but, you
know, I figured enough space -- Alexis: Uh -- can I ask you to take Kristina in to check out Molly's room? I'm going to be in there t spend some time with her alone, if you don't mind? Sally:
Sure. Alexis:
Go ahead, honey. Sally:
Kristina. Alexis:
I -- I just want to ask you something -- if you can maybe not talk
that way in front of Kristina. Ric:
What way? What, the pony? What's wrong with a pony? Alexis: Kristina didn't know that Molly was going to live here long enough to be able to ride a pony, and neither did I. Alexis: I want to ask you something. Do you remember when you said to me that all you ever wanted for Molly was for her to live in a stable home with a mother well enough to take care of her? Ric:
With all due respect, Alexis, you're not well enough. Alexis:
I'm having chemo again today. Hopefully, it will be the last one.
And with any luck, I will be cancer-free by the end of the year.
So if you meant what you said, you will have no problem with Molly
coming home to live with her sister and her mother. Ric:
Look, I hope that you do beat this cancer. But it's not going to
change our living arrangements, ok? Judge McCormick awarded me full
custody, Alexis. I have no intention of
giving up Molly. This is her home now. Alexis:
Neither -- neither do I. Ric:
Look, I didn't -- I'm not keeping you away from her, all right?
You can come visit her anytime you like. Alexis:
That's not the same thing and you know it. Ric:
Alexis, I'm not going to fight with you on this, ok? It's not good
for you, and it's definitely not good for our daughter, all right?
Molly doesn't need -- Alexis:
Kristina! Ric:
Why don't you just leave Kristina here, ok? She can play with Molly
-- Alexis:
No. No. Ric:
You can relax now -- Alexis:
Kristina, please, come on, let's go. [Alexis
sighs] Alexis:
Hi -- all right, why don't you put your coat on, sweetie, and give
Molly -- hi, baby -- [Molly
cries] Alexis:
A big kiss, ok? We'll see her later? We're going to see her tomorrow.
I know, baby. [Molly
wails] Alexis:
Give her a kiss, come on. All right, baby. Oh, honey -- it's all
right, baby. Ric:
Shh, shh, shh, shh. Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh. Alexis:
Come on. Ric:
I know. [Door slams] Alexis:
Which one of these books are you going to read, because you are
such a good reader. Which one? Kristina:
I want that one. Alexis:
I love that one. That's a good one. [Car
horn honks] Kristina:
Beep-beep. Alexis: Guess what -- that beep-beep? The cab -- I have to go to the hospital. Hey -- hey, hey, hey. I'm doing everything I can to get better for you and Molly. Viola:
Are you leaving? Alexis:
Yeah, I'll be back at 7:00. I mean it. I love you. [Alexis
sighs] Kristina:
Mommy? I love you, too. Ric:
Toot-toot-toot-toot Molly you like that, honey? Oh, baby, I know
it's hard for you right now. I know -- I know you want to see Kristina
and mommy, but you are definitely -- toot-toot -- going to get to
toot-toot -- see them all the time, just not in the same way as
you did before, you know? [Ric
sighs] Ric:
Look, I know it's a big adjustment for you, for everybody, but in
the long run it's best -- but for you, especially. Let me see --
for you especially, sweetheart. Because what you need -- toot-toot
-- what does Molly need? Tell me, tell daddy what Molly needs. Molly
needs somebody who's going to treat her and make her feel like what
she is, and that is the most special, perfect, and important person
in the entire -- the entire world. Because that's what you are to
daddy -- toot-toot -- and you always will be.
