- Jeffery,
Can you come with me?
Kelsey is in stable condition right now,
but it is touch and go from here,
Her vitals are fading fast,
The cancer cells have become metastatic,
And the chemotherapy has no effect,
Her body is unresponsive,
Jeffery, we are keeping her heavily sedated right now
so she doesn't feel any pain,
But in a couple hours it will wear off,
You need to make a decision before it's too late,
I know it's difficult
I'm a father too,
But I wouldn't want my child to suffer,
She's fighting, but her body can't take much more,
- Can I see her?
- Of course, come with me,
- Hi sweetie,
It's me Daddy,
Are you ready to go home?
You know I love you,
And mommy loves you too,
I'm sorry she couldn't be here,
But I'm here,
- Mr, Douglas, she needs her rest now,
- I'm sorry, we did all we could do,

- What are you doing here?
- Where have you been?
- Out,
- Out?
- And even drinkin',
You know you're not supposed to be drinkin',
- I wasn't,
- What's it been, two years since ya--
- Three!
- What, ever since she died you--
- Don't even say it,
- Relax,
It's a party,
Why don't you have some cake,
- So, what are doing here Jeffery?
- I figured we needed a day for ourselves,
- Ourselves, huh,
- You know with work and school,
We just needed a day for us,
- Day for us,
Are you trying to seduce me?
- Now why would I go and do a thing like that,
- I know how you are,
- You think you know who I am,
But you don't,
I'm full of surprises,
- Yeah, I know what you're full of,
- Really Jennifer?
Really?
- Yes really,
It's a really nice day though,
- Have I told you how beautiful you look today?
- Not today, but you could tell me 100 times, it's okay,
- I have something important to tell you,
- Uh oh,
Should I be worried?
You've got that face,
- No,
We search all our lives for that special someone
that we may never find,
But today I believe that I have,
I guess what I'm trying to say is,
- Oh my God,
Will you marry me?
- Yes!
- Looks familiar doesn't it?
I remember taking that picture,
She's is beautiful isn't she?
It was right after you proposed to her,
You two were so in love,
Jeffery you have to stop blaming yourself for what happened,
- I should have been there,
- There was nothing you could do,
You can't stop God's plan,
It was her time to go,
I stopped by the hospital the other day to see Kelsey,
How is she doing?
- She's still the same,
No response,
No movement,
No nothing,
She'll pull though,
Just keep your faith Jeffery,
- Faith can't help me,
The doctors say there's is no hope,
My only hope now is a miracle,
I wish Jennifer was here, she would know what to do,
- Jeffery, we are here,
And we're all praying for you,
Don't worry,
- I'm not the one who needs it,
- Uncle Jeffery?
- Hey, what's up little buddy,
Are you enjoying your party?
- Yeah,
- I see you got a lot of presents,
What's your favorite?
- The basketball, I want to be just like LeBron,
- Really like King James?
You're gonna have to practice a lot,
- I will,
Uncle Jeffery?
Is Kelsey going to be okay?
Me and mommy went to see her and she's sleeping,
When will she wake up?
I want to play with her again,
- She's,
she's gonna be all right,
She's just resting right now,
Don't worry she'll be awake soon,
I promise,
- Okay,
- Brent, Mommy needs you inside,
Look, Annie told me about Kelsey,
I'm so sorry man,
If there's anything that I can do you let me know all right,
- Why does everyone keep saying that?
Don't feel sorry for me,
That's life!
You live and you learn right!
- What's wrong with you, man?
You know, bless her heart, but ever since Jennifer died,
you've been acting like a straight,
A straight grouch,
Blaming everyone for your mistakes,
Feeling sorry for yourself,
You need to grow up,
- That's easy for you to say,
You still have your wife, your child,
I don't have anything right now!
- You still have life my brother,
Or at least what's left of it,
- What's life without a family?
You get to come home to your wife, your child,
I get to go home to a house full of memories
that I used to have,
- Listen the path we are put on it's never a straight one,
God puts us on this earth for a reason,
Everyone has a purpose--
- Don't give that church stuff right now,
I feel like he's punishing me for something I did,
- How can you say that?
God blesses us with life every day,
He can take it away with the blink of an eye,
- Whatever,
You won't believe who I ran into today,
- Who?
- Cindy Tate,
- Oh wait, you're serious?
She's in town!
- Yeah, I saw her at a bar,
I meant a restaurant!
I was ordering takeout,
- So, what she say?
- She gave me her number,
said she wanted to catch up or something,
Better than what I'm doin' now,
- You're not seriously thinkin' about that are you?
- Why not?
She's free, she's a woman and she's sexy,
- Yeah, She is also bad news,
You know why Annie don't talk to her anymore,
- No,
Why?
- She slept with her Sally's husband, what's his name?
- Carl?
- Yeah, she slept with Carl,
That's the reason why they got a divorce,
Left Sally with the mortgage, kids,
Not to mention she sleeps with everybody,
- So, what do I have to lose,
- Wow, your dignity!
Hell I'm lonely tonight,
- I'm telling you man, she's the devil,
Be careful!
You play with fire you'll definitely get burned,
Annie!
- Can we go down, and that one has to wait,
- Well how do you get it to go down?
- And you have to wait - And corn is also
- til they go down, - on the straight,
Oh my gosh, look, I just got a dairy machine!
So I can make like yogurt and stuff!
- Okay, so that's how you make more money,
- Uh huh, - Okay,
- Sorry babe, game's on, - A lot, a lot more,
- Thanks sweetie, okay, - Hi Daddy,
- What's up buddy,
- Okay so then if the two red ones touch, right,
- Yeah,
- You want to go play tag?
- Yeah,
- All right,
- C'mon man,
- Cheaters bee, - I got you, I got you,
- No you don't, - Brent!
- No you don't,
- Here
- Brent! - Yes Dad,
- You and Kelsey go outside and play,
- Okay,
- You two be careful okay?
- Okay Mom, - Okay,
- All right,
Honey I want to make dinner, okay?
- Okay,
- All right,
- Got you!
- Kelsey, you okay?
- Yeah, - Okay, let's go and play,
- So where we spending Thanksgiving this year?
Your parent's house?
- Well, my parents are taking a cruise,
- Yeah?
Maybe we should go too,
- I don't know,
Thanksgiving on a cruise?
That's not how I imagine things,
I want to keep our family tradition,
family time at the holidays,
I want Brent to be close to his family,
- No,
- I just want to invite Jeffery and Kelsey over, you know,
He's been so tore up ever since Jennifer died,
Haven't really been around family much,
It might do him some good,
- Got you!
Kelsey?
Kelsey!
Are you dead?
Kelsey!
Kelsey, wake up!
Mom!
Somebody help!
- I don't know,
he's always so depressed when he comes over here,
He just needs to let go,
I feel like he's blamin' himself for what happened,
- Sweetheart, you have to understand
that when a man loses his wife, he's never whole,
She's the backbone of the relationship,
I mean, how do you think I'd feel if I lost you?
- Well, besides not having someone to cook and clean,
I believe you'll be just fine,
- Oh, you got jokes,
- Mommy, Mommy!
Kelsey, fell, she's not breathing!
- What!
- Come on!
- Kelsey!
Kelsey, Kelsey!
Kelsey, wake up!
She's not breathing,
Call an ambulance,
Brent, go get some water, hurry up,
Kelsey, Kelsey, wake up sweetie, wake up,
Please, Kelsey,
- Hello, I need an ambulance,
- Kelsey, Kelsey,

I panicked,
I didn't know what to do,
- Jeffery,

- What is that?
- It's a type of cancer of the blood
where there is an abnormal increase in white blood cells,
- How did she get it?
- As with any form of cancer, it's unknown,
- Is there a cure?
- There are various treatments we can try,
But with any medicine there will be risks,
- Is she gonna make it?
- Let's hope for the best,
- Hello?
- Hi, Cindy?
Yeah, it's me Jeffery from earlier,

You're hurting me,
- What was that for!
- You called me Jennifer!
- What!
- I'm not your wife!
Leave,
- I'm sorry,
- Get out,
- I can't do this,
- Get out!
- I can't,
- Jennifer,
- In the bathroom,
Honey, so I was thinking that maybe we should celebrate
New's Year Eve here at the house,
What do you think?
What are you doing?
- I have to work today,
- I can't believe you Jeffery,
It's Christmas Eve, why do you have to work,
- I have too,
It's not my call,
- It's not your call?
You promised me a few weeks ago
that we would spend Christmas Eve together,
Now you're going back on your word,
- Don't start with this,
you know I don't need this right now,
I'm this close to becoming Captain,
- That's all you think about now,
Your precious job,
You haven't even been to any of our lamaze classes,
- You think I don't want to be there?
I'm doin' this for us,
Me, you, our daughter,
So we can have a better life,
- I don't want a better life,
I just want my husband,
- Look, I have to go,
I'll see you when I get home,
- It's gonna be okay,
- I need Jeffery,
My husband,
I need my husband,
- I need to call, I need phone,
Just let me call him please,
- Concentrate on your breathing,
You're doing good,
That's good, that's good,
- Not answering!
Please, you need to get ahold of him,
- Where is she?
Where is she?
- Sir, calm down, who are you looking for?
- My wife,
She's in labor,
- What's her name,
- Jennifer, Jennifer Douglas,
- Mr, Douglas your wife is in room 212,
Um, Dr, Clark this is Mr, Douglas,
- Mr, Douglas follow me,
We're prepping her now for delivery,
Down here on the left hand side,
- Don't worry Jennifer, you're gonna do great,
- Jeffery, please, I need my husband,
- Her blood pressures 160 over 100,
- Where's Jeffery?
- All right guys, how's she doin'?
- My husband, please,
- Jennifer, he'll be right here okay,
- Ready?
- How far is she dilated? - Where's my husband,
- I need my husband, - He'll be right here,
- Baby you made it, - I'm here,
- All right Jennifer, this is the hard part,
Ready?
Push,
Come on Jennifer,
One more push, give me one more push,
All right Jennifer, here she comes,
Here she comes,
- You just gotta have faith,
Everything's gonna be all right
You just gotta have faith,
- Jeffery, Bobby,
- Where is she,
- Jeffery, I need to tell you something,
- Where's my wife?
- This isn't easy,
But your wife is dying,
- What?
- She suffered a complication during her delivery,
and is bleeding internally,
She's already lost a lot of blood
and we are unable to stop it,
I ordered a blood transfusion for her,
But her blood platelets are low and will eventually fail,
Her organs are beginning to shut down,
And she is becoming very weak,
- She was fine yesterday,
I need to see her!
I'm sorry, we did all we could do,
Right now, just be with her, comfort her,
- I need to see her, - It's gonna be okay,
All right we're here for ya, it's gonna be all right,
- Where's Kelsey?
- She's in the nursery,
- Why are you crying?
- It's gonna be okay,
Doctor said I'm gonna be fine,
- No,
- Jeffery,
Look at me,
I need you to do something for me,
Promise?
I want you live,
For our daughter,
I know you're gonna be a great Dad,
You don't have to take care of me anymore,
I have God now,
If you ever need me, I'll be right here,
- Don't go,
Don't go,
Kelsey,
Kelsey!
What happened?
- I'm sorry Jeffery,
- Kelsey, sweetie,
Did I ever tell you the story about how I met your Mom?
- No Daddy,
- It was my first year in college,
I was taking a math class,
Then she walked in,
She was so beautiful,
She wore a white dress
and she had long black hair, just like you,
And I knew right then and there, we were gonna be together,
So I asked her out,
She said, no at first,
But that didn't stop me,
So I made her a promise,
I said, if you give me a chance,
I promise I will always love you,
And that's the same promise I'm gonna make to you,
I promise that I will never leave you,
I miss your Mom too,
But I get to see her every single day,
she has your eyes, she has your nose, and your smile,
So anytime you ever want to see her
all you have to do is look in the mirror,
- I love you Daddy,
- I love you too,
- I understand, I'm on it, okay,
Yeah, okay,
Yeah, and that's affirmative,
Jeffery,
Jeffery, I'm dealing with the situation right now,
Yeah,
Yes, right,
Yes,
That's affirmative,
Yeah, okay,
Jeffery,
- You wanted to see me sir?
- Yes,
It's been brought to my attention
that you haven't been performing up to our standards
and the city is cracking down on us
and we have to make some cuts,
- What are you talking about?
- I'm talking about your last call?
- What do you mean my last call?
- The fire we put out last week?
You remember that?
You nearly killed that lady,
And you put Jordan in danger
with that little stunt you pulled, all right,
Now you didn't go by the book on that call,
You know that,
You acted irresponsibly,
No, I don't want to hear it,
Listen,
There's no room for that in this department,
do you understand me?
- Sir,
- No, and now the woman is sueing the city for millions,
- I saved that lady,
- I don't see it that way,
And I don't want to hear any excuses,
- Chief, I haven't been the same since my wife died
and now my daughter's in the hospital,
- Look, I' sorry about your situation,
okay, I truly am, all right,
But, you've become a problem,
All right, I can't have you jeapordizing this department
with your irresponsible behavior,
You're bringing negative attention on us, all right,
I have to let you go,
- Chief, this is my life, this is my job,
I have nothing,
- I'm sorry, but you have to go,
Clean out your locker,
- Sir, you're makin' a huge mistake,
Jeffery's one of the best
if not the best fire fighter in this department,
- My decision is final,
Listen he put us all at risk with that stunt he pulled,
Okay, we work by the book,
That's how you were trained,
All right, now he acted irresponsibly
with that crazy little stunt he pulled
and he damned near got a woman killed,
I will not have that on my conscience,
- Sir, with all due respect
you know damn well you would have done the same thing
if you was in his situation,
- Bobby,
- Chief,
Look, we can't fire Jeffery man,
We need him,
There has to be something we can do,
Call the Mayor, something,
We really need him,
- The decision has been made and it's final,
Get back to work,
- So it's like that,
- Yes,
- You left me!
What am I supposed to do now!
I'm ready,
- Jeffery, where are you man?
I've been tryin' to reach you all night,
Look Kelsey's vital signs are failing,
the doctors need a decision,
We're at the hospital,
- Have you been drinkin'?
- She'll pull through, she'll pull through,
- You need to make a decision before it's to late,
- Promise, promise, promise,
- But I can tell you
these things is just a day by day thing,
You know, you don't, can't really tell,
- What's goin' on?
- Jeff where have you been?
- Excuse me for one second,
I've been calling you man, why haven't you answered,
They need a decision,
- A decision on what?
- On Kelsey,
Look, I'm sorry man,
I know you're in a difficult situation,
and we all feel for you,
But she's sufferin',
You got to let her go man,
- That's easy for you to say,
You still have your wife, your child,
What do I have?
- You still have your life,
- This will change everything,
- Jeff, what the, what are you doing man,
Jeff, what are you doin'?
Jeffery, stop, please stop,
Jeffery, listen to me,
Okay,
You don't have to do this,
Trust me,
Just listen to me,
This is the easy way out,
You can control it,
You need to live,
For your wife and you need to live for your daughter,
If you do this,
You will never see them again,
You don't want to do this,
Don't do it,
Give it to me,
Come here man,
It's gonna be all right, I'm here, okay,
Me, Annie, we're here,
It's gonna be all right man,
- Where are you God!
You took my wife,
Now you want my daughter!
Well you're not gonna get me,
- Daddy?
- Kelsey,
You're awake?
- Yes, Daddy, I am,
- Am I dreaming?
The doctors said you were gonna die,
- No Daddy,
I'm going to live,
- How do you know that?
- An angel told me so,
- Angel, what did they give you?
- No, Daddy, she's over there,
- I don't see anything,
- Daddy, you have to look with your heart, not your eyes,
Hi Mommy,
- How do you know?
- She has always been with me,
She has always been in my heart,
- Why did you leave me?
I couldn't handle this all by myself,
- Jeffery, I never left you,
You forgot about me,
I have always been here,
- No, I thought about you every day,
- You lost your faith when I died
and you have been blaming God for it this whole time,
- No,
- Yes, you have my love,
We're all God's children,
and when He's ready for us He'll call us back,
- I didn't mean to, I just,
I just couldn't go on without you,
- That's why he blessed you with a daughter,
To remind you of me and that you have a purpose,
My time is almost up,
It's time for you to reclaim your faith,
- Help!
Somebody!
My daughter's dying!
- Calm down sir, where's your daughter?
- This way,
- I'm getting no pulse, compressions,
- One, two, three, four, five
- Come on, stay with me, come on,
- Six, seven, eight, nine, 10,
- Still no pulse, no pulse, compressions, compressions,
- One, two, three, - C'mon gotta stay with me,
- Four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10,
- I'm, I've got nothing, compressions,
- One, two, three, - Compressions!
- four, five, six, - Come on,
- Seven, eight, nine, 10,
- Jeff,
Jeff, Jeff, wait,
Jeff!
Sorry, sorry,
- Jeffery, wait, - Sorry,
- What happened?
- I'm not sure, I'll come back for you,
Jeff,
Jeff!
Wait!
You don't got to do this man!
- I've lost everything,
She said she was gonna live,
- Who?
- Kelsey!
- Listen man, she's gone,
- No, it was real,
I felt her,
- Jeff, Jeff, wait,
It was all in your mind,
- He's taken 'em,
He's taken 'em both,
- Who?
- God!
- What are you talkin' about Jeff!
- Well he's not gonna get me,
- Jeff, stop, listen to me man, listen,
Listen okay, Jeff, don't do this!
Jeff, just listen to me,
Jeff!
Listen to me!
Jeff, don't do this man!
Watch out!
- Pull, pull,

- Pressure in the 90s, pressure in the 90s,
- There's no pulse,
- Losin' him,
Got no pulse,
C'mon,
- Doctor just got here, let me call you back,
