Kem? They're gonna come down and take us to our new room soon. And when they come, they're gonna take the baby, and we're never gonna see him again... I don't know what the right thing is to say. I don't know what the right thing to do is [he starts to cry]... It was an accident! [Kem sobs silently] It was nothing that you did wrong, it was nothing that we did wrong. It just happened. I love you, and I wanna spend the rest of my life with you. But we have to say goodbye to our son now. I have to help you to do that, and I don't know how to do that. Please help me. Please. [long pause, then Kem nods slowly] Okay?... [he gently picks up their stillborn son, brings him over, and puts him in Kem's arms; Kem bursts into tears again when she looks at the baby's face] He's beautiful. [Carter puts his arms around Kem and cries with her as she rocks the stillborn back and forth] I love you so much.
