You know, sometimes, when we're all sitting at dinner, I feel like there's someone missing, and now that place will be filled by our son.
I don't know why you have to keep saying that. We don't know for sure if it's going to be a boy.
Because I want a boy, for you.
Well, I don't! Not if it means nine months of misery.
You built this cradle for our son.
Caroline, I built the cradle for our child!
I've seen you with Andy, working together.
Exactly! If I want someone to help me around the farm, I'll hire him! I don't have to father him!
You don't understand.
All right, what if you weren't pregnant? If you weren't pregnant, then we wouldn't have anything to worry about, would we? Caroline, when we had the girls, all we cared about was having a healthy, happy family. That's all.
Well, of course I want him to be healthy!
HIM! Why does it always have to be "him?" Caroline, we had a son, and he died. It's over. God, you're... you're as bad as Carrie with her dead eggs, trying to give birth to chicks!
