great so i'll pick you up around 12 30.

sounds good see you then bye

thanks for lunch jake it was really sweet of you to pay for me

you didn't have to do that it's my pleasure

here have a seat i want to give you your present okay

now it's not fancy or anything but i hope it shows you how special you are to

me thanks jake i think you're special too

not the best present ever but i wrote you a song

you did jake that's wonderful

no one's ever written a song for me before

don't get too excited you haven't heard the song yet i'm sure

i'll love it now remember it's not perfect

i haven't really had time to jake it'll be great

please just play the song okay

thank you jake

that was beautiful you're welcome

okay it's my turn what's this open it you'll find out

a drawing of me playing the guitar wow

allie did you draw this yes do you like it

it's great thank you i didn't know you could draw

i didn't know you could write songs i guess there are lots of things we

don't know about each other hey in your song you promised to always be

honest with me did you really mean that

yes i did good

then may i ask you a question sure

how do you feel about me well

you're a great girl and

if i'm going to be honest i like you a lot

i like you too jake except except you're not ready to date anyone

right now right that's okay allie i understand

i'm not sure i'm ready to date either you're not no

i like you a lot and

i do want to date you but

i don't want to rush into anything i'm so glad to hear you say that

it's better to take things slowly that way we can be careful not to hurt

each other right

so what do we do now well let's keep getting to know each

other better as friends that's a good idea and then

maybe in a few months if we're still interested

we can start dating exactly

that sounds good to me and in case you're wondering don't worry

i'll still be interested i hope so

hi erin hi mom's meeting me here for coffee she

says she has a surprise for me what do you think it is

i don't know but mom says i'll like it hi mom

so what's the surprise you can't wait can you

no okay

we're going to take a trip to europe europe i've always wanted to travel to

europe i know when are we going where are we going how

long can we stay we'll go during your christmas vacation

we'll stay about a week but where will we go

dad says you and i can decide wow

let's go to paris rome london

wait a minute we'll only have a week for sightseeing

that's right you can't see all the famous places in one week so we should

choose one place yes

okay what do i want to see in europe

paris is famous for great art museums london also has some great museums

and we can speak english there so how are we going to decide

why don't you look on the computer good idea

let's see which cities have things we really want to see

there are so many places to go in europe let's just choose two cities and decide

between them that would be easier

we can each choose one where do you want to go

paris i think why

i want to go to paris to see the louvre what about you amber i want to go to

london there are lots of attractions there

though you'll decide between paris and london

right there are some cool castles in london

i know those would be fun to see

so let's go to london but i would love to see the eiffel tower in paris too

which city is easier to get around both cities have subways

that would be the best way to travel around this isn't going to be an easy

decision paris and london both have interesting

attractions and delicious food

and cool stores and they're both expensive you can't choose the cheaper

place how are we going to decide

well let's go home and talk to dad

right we'll just have to tell him tell him what

tell him we need a longer vacation hi honey

what did the doctor say mia

you look like you're in shock is it something serious

the doctor said i'm not sick then why have you been so sick to your

stomach jeff

your dream has come true we're going to have a baby

i'm pregnant really

are you sure yes

the doctor said i'm already five weeks pregnant

wow you're going to be parents

we already are parents i know

mia i know this isn't what you wanted right

now i do want this

this is wonderful

but it's really a surprise isn't it

we didn't plan to have children for two more years

right i love my job

i don't feel ready to give it up to be a mom

well we always said you'd stop working when

we had kids but if you don't jeff

yes i will stop working at the newspaper

when we have the baby are you sure

yes this is hard

and i may not feel ready for it but

i know that every life is a gift even one that wasn't planned

so i'll be the best mom i can be

i know you will that's why i love you mia

this is such wonderful news i can't wait till your baby's born

when is the baby due in june

when can you find out if it's a boy or a girl

probably in january i hope it's a girl

daughters are great well

i'm really happy for you too thanks thanks

mia this is exciting but

i thought you wanted to wait longer before you have children

we did i really enjoy my job

but life doesn't always go the way we plan

that's true i'm worried about how my boss will react

he might not understand why i want to stay home with the baby

well i think it's great that you want to you'll be wonderful parents

thank you honey

you amaze me i do

yes you work so hard to become an editor

but you're willing to give it up for our family

well you amaze me too really

yes you've wanted a baby for so long but all day you've thought of me first

thank you you're welcome

i love you and i love you little baby

i love both of you too but jeff

are you sure i can't have any coffee baby

what do you think thanks for lunch kara

no thank you liz

my music store has really turned the corner really

that's great news i'm so thankful for all your help you're

welcome i'm really happy for you my dream is finally coming true

i have my own business and it's profitable

it's also good that you like what you do that's true

i love my music store it must be fun to do something you love

it is don't you like working at the stop and

shop it's not bad

but it's not easy i always have to compare prices with

other stores i know what you mean

every month i'm figuring out what our prices should be

right you're always asking yourself

are prices too high what would happen if prices were lower

right it's not fun

and it's hard to compete with large discount

stores it is

i wish i could just have a nice little store with no problems

i don't like worrying about being profitable every month

that's business but it's also exciting right

it has been but i've thought about doing something

else really

what would you like to do managing the stop and shop isn't an

adventure but

managing profit and loss margins every month

can be exciting you really think so

i have to admit liz i like business

really i like it almost as much as i like music

wow that's great so what are you going to do

nothing the stop and shop might not be exciting

but it's a good business besides what else would i do

i don't know what do you like

i like adventure i loved brazil

well business is an adventure

maybe one month is a down month the adventure is trying to do better the

next month right right

some months i just break even but even that's fun because i know i did

lose money you're right it is an adventure

doing business can be fun are you two girls doing well

we're fine what about you becca how are your profit margins

how are my profit margins actually the net cafe has been doing

really well that's wonderful

in fact the people at headquarters might want me to work there

wow yeah it would be an adventure

that's fun adventure

what are all these things on the floor they're things to recycle

i cleaned the apartment this afternoon and now i'm tired

i can't stop yawning why don't you take a nap before dinner

i think i will can you be quiet

of course i can be very quiet i won't even turn on

the tv okay thanks

i think i'll sleep for about two hours do you want me to wake you up
