AN OFFENSIVE FOUL, ,,
EXCITING GAME?
UM, ,,NO, NOT REALLY,
CHICAGO IS KICKING THE HELL OUT OF THEM,
I'M NOT MUCH OF A BULLS FAN,
GOOD THING I'M FROM NEW YORK,
YOU A SPORTS FAN?
DEPENDS ON THE SPORT,
MAYBE WE GOT ONE IN COMMON, WHAT DO YOU LIKE?
HUNTING,
WE DON'T HAVE MUCH TIME,

IT DIDN'T WORK,
WHAT?
I DID WHAT I PROMISED,
BUT I FAILED,
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

YOU ARE ABOUT TO EXPERIENCE THE AWE AND MYSTERY
WHICH REACHES FROM THE DEEPEST INNER MIND
TO THE OUTER LIMITS,
IT IS SAID THAT THROUGH OUR CHILDREN
WE ATTAIN A KIND OF IMMORTALITY,
AN UNENDING CHAIN OF LIFE
IN WHICH MOTHER AND CHILD ARE FOREVER LINKED,
CARRYING IN TURN THE BURDEN OF HUMANITY,
IT'S GOING TO BE ONE OF THOSE DAYS,
ISN'T IT?
I JUST TALKED TO MY SISTER,
IS SOMETHING WRONG?
WHATEVER COULD BE WRONG IN CINDY'S LIFE?
SHE'S MADE PARTNER,
SHE AND JOHN JUST BOUGHT A NEW PLACE,
AND NOW SHE'S GOING TO HAVE A BABY,
THAT'S GREAT, THAT WILL MAKE YOU AN AUNT,
I'M HAPPY FOR HER, I REALLY AM,
BUT IT JUST SEEMS SO UNFAIR
WITH EVERYTHING ELSE THAT SHE HAS,
THAT SHE CAN HAVE CHILDREN AND I CAN'T,
WHY CAN'T THAT HAPPEN TO US?
IT JUST ISN'T IN THE CARDS FOR US,
BESIDES, WE'RE BLESSED IN OTHER WAYS,
SHE WANTS ME TO TELL MOTHER
BECAUSE SHE CAN'T DEAL WITH MOM'S CONDITION,
SHE PROBABLY THINKS YOU CAN GET ALZHEIMER'S OVER THE PHONE,
GRADY, THAT'S NOT FAIR,
SAM'S READY TO CUT INTO THAT GIRL
THAT DIED AT JIMMY'S,
SURE COULD USE SOME HELP,
SAYS HE'S NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT BEFORE,
MAKE SURE YOU'RE READY FOR THIS,
IT'S TIME YOU GAVE ME SOME CREDIT, SAM,
I'VE BEEN A DOCTOR NOW FOR 10 YEARS,
AH, TRUST ME, THIS IS NOT
YOUR BASIC KID WITH THE FLU,
I DON'T WANT ANY FAINTING IN MY MORGUE,
I CAN HANDLE IT,
OKAY,
JIMMY SAID THAT SHE TRANSFORMED FROM A YOUNG WOMAN TO THIS
RIGHT BEFORE HIS EYES,
DON'T SAY I DIDN'T WARN YOU,
WHAT HAPPENED TO THIS POOR WOMAN?
THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION,
NECROTIZING FASCIITIS,
THE FLESH-EATING DISEASE?
YOU'VE BEEN WATCHING TOO MUCH TELEVISION,
WHAT ELSE COULD IT BE?
HAVE YOU RULED OUT
ALL THE OTHER GROUP-A STREPTOCOCCUS?
AS THE CAUSATIVE AGENTS
I'VE RULED OUT ALL BACTERIAL AND VIRAL INFECTION,
BUT THIS WOMAN WAS RACKED WITH A BEVY OF OTHER DISEASES
LIKE I'VE NEVER SEEN,
OSTEOPOROSIS, HEART DISEASE,
THREE DIFFERENT KINDS OF CANCER,
ALZHEIMER'S,
THEN THE CAUSE OF DEATH IS, ,,?
ALL OF THE ABOVE, AND ALL AT ONCE,
HOW OLD WOULD YOU SAY SHE IS, CHRISTINA?
WELL, AH, ,,I DON'T KNOW,
JIMMY SWEARS SHE'S ABOUT 25,
BUT TWO OF THE CANCERS SHE DIED OF
ARE NORMALLY VERY SLOW TO DEVELOP,
WHICH POINTS TO AN OLDER WOMAN?
MAKES SENSE,
WELL, IF WE DON'T THINK IT'S CONTAGIOUS,
WHAT DO WE DO NOW?
I'D SAY WE SHOULD JUST WAIT, SEE IF ANY OTHER CASES TURN UP,
I BET NONE DO,
WHAT A HORRIBLE WAY TO GO,
OH, I DON'T KNOW,
SOMETIMES I WONDER IF WE WOULDN'T BE BETTER
TO BURN OUT FAST THAN FADE AWAY SLOWLY,
HELL, YOU DIDN'T EVEN KNOW HER NAME, JIMMY,
I CAN'T BELIEVE I HAVE TO LECTURE YOU ON PROMISCUITY,
YOU KNOW ME, GRADY,
I DON'T PICK UP STRANGE WOMEN LIKE THAT,
THERE WAS SOMETHING ABOUT HER, SOME MAGNETISM,
I JUST COULDN'T RESIST,
I WASN'T THINKING STRAIGHT,
IT WAS LIKE I WAS TOTALLY DRUNK,
WERE YOU?
NO, I ONLY HAD THE ONE BEER,
YOU'VE NEVER SEEN HER BEFORE?
I WOULD HAVE REMEMBERED SOMEONE LIKE THAT,
OKAY, OKAY, CALM DOWN,
NO I, D, ?
NO,
HOW ARE YOU FEELING, JIMMY?
LIKE A DEER CAUGHT
IN THE SIGHTS OF A GUN,
WELL, UM, I THINK YOU CAN RELAX A BIT,
THE RISK OF CONTAGION IS MINIMAL,
I'D LIKE YOU TO REST FOR A FEW DAYS...
MONITOR YOUR TEMPERATURE, THAT SORT OF THING,
IF YOU CAN SRE HIM,
DO I HAVE A CHOICE?
IF YOU'LL EXCUSE ME, I'M GOING TO GO VISIT MY MOTHER
WHILE I STILL HAVE THE STRENGTH,
HI, SYLVIA,
MOM DIDN'T WANT TO SIT WITH YOU TODAY?
I'M GOING BACK INTO THE LIGHT,
OKAY,
UM, ,,
YOUR SON MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO COME SEE YOU FOR A WHILE,
JIMMY'S A POLICEMAN NOW,
YES, I KNOW,
AND HE'LL BE BUSY, SO IF YOU DON'T SEE HIM, ,,
OH, I WILL,
I'M GOING BACK INTO THE LIGHT
AND THEN I'LL SEE HIM AGAIN,
SURE YOU WILL,
I'M GOING TO GO SAY HI TO MOM NOW,
( knocking )
MOM?
WHO ARE YOU?
IT'S ME,
IT'S CHRISTINA, YOUR DAUGHTER,
CHRISTINA?
HI, CHRIS,
HI, UNCLE JERRY,
HOW'S SHE DOING?
FINE,
HER SPIRITS HAVE BEEN UP LATELY,
I'M FIXING HER HAIR THE WAY SHE LIKES IT,
YOU'RE SO GOOD TO HER,
I REALLY APPRECIATE IT,
WELL, I PROMISED MY BROTHER TO TAKE CARE OF HER,
THAT'S WHAT I'M GOING TO DO,
I'M SURE DAD APPRECIATES IT,
I'LL LET YOU HAVE A FEW MINUTES ALONE TOGETHER,
JERRY?
NO, NO, IT'S ALL RIGHT, HELEN,
I'LL BE BACK PRETTY SOON,
BUT I DON'T KNOW THIS WOMAN,
HELEN, ,,
CHRISTINA IS YOUR DAUGHTER,
SHE LOVES YOU VERY MUCH,
YOU BE NICE TO HER, HMM?
ALL RIGHT,
OKAY, I'LL BE RIGHT BACK,
DO YOU WORK HERE IN THE HOSPITAL?
YOU'RE NOT IN A HOSPITAL ANYMORE,
THIS IS YOUR HOME NOW,
I CAME TO TELL YOU THAT
YOUR DAUGHTER CINDY IS GOING TO HAVE A BABY,
BUT I THOUGHT YOU SAID
YOU WERE MY DAUGHTER,
I AM, BUT CINDY'S YOUR DAUGHTER TOO,
AND YOU'RE FINALLY GOING TO HAVE A GRANDCHILD,
THAT'S NICE,
DO YOU HAVE ANY CHILDREN?
NO,
WHY NOT?
I DON'T KNOW,
HERE, LET ME FINISH YOUR BRAID,
JERRY DOES MY HAIR,
JERRY'S A WONDERFUL MAN, DON'T YOU THINK?
YES, I DO, MOM,
I'M GLAD YOU HAVE EACH OTHER,
I'M GOING INTO THE LIGHT,
SYLVIA MENTIONED THE LIGHT,
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
THE LIGHT THAT SURROUNDS YOU,
I STILL REMEMBER,
IT FILLS YOU WITH LIFE,
WHAT LIGHT?
IT'S ALMOST MY TURN,
MOM, NOW YOU'RE SCARING ME,
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
WHO ARE YOU?
YEAH, SHERIFF, IT'S RIGHT OVER HERE,
WHO FOUND IT?
THOSE KIDS,
YEAH, IT LOOKS LIKE SHE BROKE HER ANKLE,
I'D SAY SHE'S BEEN LAYING HERE A COUPLE DAYS,
ISN'T THIS PART OF
THE OLD ANDERSON ESTATE?
YEAH, IT'S BEEN DESERTED FOR YEARS,
WHAT SHE WAS DOING OUT HERE, I DON'T KNOW,
ANY I, D, ?
I DON'T NEED IT, I RECOGNIZE HER,
MRS, VIRGINIA MASTERS,
SHE'S BEEN STAYING AT A NURSING HOME
SINCE HER HUSBAND PASSED AWAY,
HER ROOM IS JUST BEYOND THAT ROW OF TREES,
SHERIFF, UH, ,,
IS THIS SOME SORT OF PLAGUE?
I DON'T KNOW,
( Christina ) HAVE YOU TOLD THE CDC ABOUT THE SECOND DEATH YET?
I'D LIKE TO AVOID THAT,
I'VE BEEN INVOLVED IN ONE CDC CASE BEFORE
IN ANOTHER TOWN,
BROUGHT IN THE FRIGGIN' ARMY,
TANKS, HELICOPTERS, THE WORKS...
QUARANTINED THE TOWN,
SCARED THE BEJEEZUS OUT OF EVERYONE,
PUSHED US LOCALS AROUND,
THEN AFTER ALL THAT,
GUESS WHO FIGURED IT OUT?
YOU?
BINGO,
NOW TELL ME,
WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF THIS CASE?
HOW IS IT DIFFERENT THAN THE LAST ONE?
THE FIRST WOMAN WAS IN HER 20s,
ACCORDING TO JIMMY,
AND VIRGINIA MASTERS WAS IN HER 70s,
SO IN THIS WOMAN
THESE DISEASES MAY BE NATURAL OCCURRENCES?
I DON'T THINK SO, SAM,
I WAS HER DOCTOR AND SHE WAS IN RELATIVELY GOOD HEALTH,
THE ODD THING IS THAT THERE WERE
TRACES OF SEMEN IN THE FIRST WOMAN,
WELL, OF COURSE, FROM JIMMY,
BUT WAS ALSO SEMEN IN THIS WOMAN,
SO, SAM, A 75-YEAR-OLD WOMAN
HAD INTERCOURSE 48 HOURS BEFORE HER DEATH,
I KNOW, I ALREADY FOLLOWED THAT LEAD,
IT GETS STRANGER,
TAKE A LOOK AT THIS,
BOTH OF THESE WOMEN
HAVE A DEFECT IN THEIR UTERUS,
IT'S ALMOST LIKE A THIRD OVARY,
WELL, THE ODDS OF THESE TWO WOMEN
HAVING THE SAME ABNORMALITY IS, IS ASTRONOMICAL,
HI,
I'M GLAD YOU'RE HERE,
WHAT? WHAT'S WRONG?
SYLVIA MIDDLETON JUST WENT MISSING,
HI, MOM,
IT'S CHRISTINA, YOUR DAUGHTER,
MY DAUGHTER'S NAME IS CINDY,
CHRIS IS YOUR DAUGHTER TOO, HELEN,
MOM, DO YOU KNOW WHERE SYLVIA IS?
SHE'S GONE INTO THE LIGHT,
WHAT LIGHT?
WHERE IS THIS LIGHT?
WHERE IT'S ALWAYS BEEN,
VIRGINIA WENT TO IT, AND LUCY TOO,
LUCY, WHO'S LUCY?
AND SOON IT'S GOING TO BE MY TURN,
I WANT TO SEE IT AGAIN,
FEEL IT AGAIN,
PLEASE, TELL ME MORE ABOUT THIS LIGHT,
BUT I DON'T KNOW YOU,
OH, YES, YOU DO,
I'M CHRISTINA, YOUR DAUGHTER,
CINDY'S MY DAUGHTER,
I DON'T KNOW YOU,
PLEASE LEAVE,
MOM, I NEED TO KNOW MORE ABOUT THE LIGHT,
PLEASE LEAVE!
( door opening )
WHO'S THERE?
( door closing )
IT'S ONLY ME, JIMMY,
DO I KNOW YOU?
HOW'D YOU GET IN HERE?
I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU STILL HAVEN'T FIXED
THE LOCK ON THE BACK DOOR,
ARE YOU, ,,
A FRIEND OF LUCY'S?
YOU KNOW, I KNOW YOU FROM SOMEWHERE, ,,
I CAN'T QUITE PLACE IT,
I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU STILL HAVE THIS PIECE OF JUNK,
EVEN IN ITS DAY IT WAS TACKY,
I THINK YOU'D BETTER LEAVE,
MA?
I LOVED YOUR FATHER SO,
IF ONLY HE WERE STILL HERE,
STILL YOUNG,
THEN IT WOULD BE EASY TO FULFILL MY PROMISE,
( knocking )
JIMMY, OPEN UP, IT'S ME, GRADY,
JIMMY!
IT'S ABOUT TIME,
I THOUGHT YOU'D DIED IN THERE,
NO, I WAS JUST SLEEPING,
LOOK, THERE'S BEEN A BREAK-IN AT BEN REILLY'S STORE
A FEW HOURS AGO,
YOU'LL CHECK IT OUT TOMORROW?
I'LL BE THERE,
I'M AFRAID THERE'S NO WORD
ON YOUR MOTHER, THOUGH,
I KNOW YOU'RE WORRIED,
BUT SHE PROBABLY WANDERED OFF... MIGHT EVEN SHOW UP HERE,
SURE,
EVENING, MA'AM,
CAN I OFFER YOU RIDE?
NOW THAT'S FUNNY, COWBOY,
BECAUSE I WAS JUST GOING TO OFFER YOU THE SAME THING,
( Christina ) I'M NOT SURE I WANT TO STAY IN PRESCOTT, GRADY,
I THOUGHT YOU WERE HAPPY HERE,
WE BOTH THOUGHT IT WOULD BE SUCH A GREAT PLACE, ,,
TO RAISE A FAMILY?
I WASN'T GOING TO SAY THAT,
BUT YOU WERE THINKING IT,
THAT'S OKAY, I WAS TOO,
I'M SO LUCKY TO HAVE YOU, BUT SOMETIMES I, ,,
I WONDER IF THIS IS ALL THERE IS,
YOU KNOW, IF ALL THE OPTIONS THAT WERE OPEN ONCE
ARE CLOSING OFF,
IF I'M GOING TO END UP A MINDLESS OLD WOMAN
WHO NEVER MANAGED TO ESCAPE,
MY MOTHER SPENT HER LIFE HERE
AND WHO'LL REMEMBER ANYTHING SHE EVER DID?
YOU WILL,
SHE DOESN'T EVEN KNOW WHO I AM,
SHE'S SICK,
BUT EVEN BEFORE,
I MEAN, I WAS NEVER CLOSE TO HER THE WAY CINDY IS,
I SPENT MY WHOLE LIFE TRYING TO GET HER TO NOTICE ME,
AND NOW SHE LIVES IN A WORLD I CAN'T BREAK INTO
EVEN IF SHE WANTED ME TO,
( door opening and closing )
WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?
I'M SORRY,
BUT THERE WAS SOMETHING THAT I HAD TO DO,
IT'S OVER NOW,
WHAT IS?
WHAT'S THE MATTER?
IT DIDN'T WORK,
I DON'T KNOW WHY,
IT JUST DIDN'T,
I HAVE A FEELING, IF IT HAD BEEN YOUR FATHER,
SOMEONE I REALLY LOVE, ,,
BUT IT DIDN'T WORK,
MA,
JERRY, WAKE UP,
HMM?
HELEN,
HELEN, IT MUST BE PAST MIDNIGHT,
YOU SHOULD BE IN BED BY NOW,
OH, NO, JERRY, IT'S TIME TO GO,
WHY ARE YOU DRESSED LIKE THAT?
I'M GOING BACK INTO THE LIGHT,
NOW YOU KNOW THAT YOU CAN'T LEAVE,
OH, YES, I CAN,
HELEN, I, ,,
I CAN'T LET YOU GO,
IT'S NOT GOOD FOR YOU,
I'M GOING BACK,
I HOPE YOU'RE COMING WITH ME,
WHERE?
WHERE DO YOU WANT TO GO?
TO PARADISE, JERRY,
I'M TAKING YOU TO PARADISE,
COME ON, JERRY, COME ON,
HELEN, THIS IS CRAZY,
WE OUGHT TO GO BACK,
NO, NO, IT'S NOT VERY FAR, REALLY,
TRAIPSING AROUND THE COUNTRYSIDE, ,,
OH, PLEASE,
WE SHOULD NEVER HAVE LEFT THE PLACE,
OH, IT'S THIS WAY,
OVER HERE,
OH, THIS IS IT!
THIS IS IT!
OH,
HOLD MY HAND,
HELEN, WHAT ARE WE DOING?
I TOLD YOU,
WE'RE GOING INTO THE LIGHT,
NOW CLOSE YOUR EYES,
HELEN, YOU KNOW I PROMISED
TO TAKE CARE OF YOU,
BUT THIS IS GOING BEYOND ANYTHING, ,,
( giggling )
WHAT'S HAPPENING?
IT'S WONDERFUL,
BUT HOW?
WHY?
IT'S A GIFT, JERRY,
IT'S A GIFT FROM THE STARS,
PLEASE, I DON'T UNDERSTAND,
OH, YOU DON'T HAVE TO,
ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS ENJOY IT,
( phone ringing )
YEAH?
JIMMY?
JIMMY, HOLD ON, I'M LOSING YOU,
JIMMY, I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE SAYING, ,,
YEAH, WELL, JUST CALM DOWN, I'LL COME RIGHT OVER,
( beep )
AH, THAT WAS JIMMY NOT MAKING ANY SENSE,
WHATEVER IT IS, HE'S REALLY SPOOKED,
MAYBE I SHOULD COME TOO,
JIMMY!
JIMMY,
MY GOD, SHE'S STILL ALIVE,
JIMMY, YOU'VE GOT TO LET GO OF HER,
HELP ME,
JIMMY,
JIMMY, LET HER GO,
COME ON, LET CHRIS DO HER JOB,
IF YOU CAN HEAR ME, HANG ON,
I'M GOING TO GET YOU TO A HOSPITAL,
I'M GOING TO NEED A PARAMEDIC UNIT HERE STAT,
SHE KEEPS CHANGING,

YOU'RE KIDDING,
NO, IT'S RIGHT HERE,
SHE WAS PUT IN JAIL FOR TRESPASSING ON
THE OLD ANDERSON PROPERTY,
ISN'T THAT WHERE YOU FOUND VIRGINIA MASTERS?
YEAH, IT SEEMS THAT A GROUP OF YOUNG WOMEN
SNUCK IN THERE ONE EVENING,
OLD BEN ANDERSON FOUND THEM,
SAID THEY WERE ALL INTOXICATED,
THERE WERE FOUR OF THEM,
SYLVIA, VIRGINIA, LUCY

I THINK IT'S MY MOTHER,
IT'S ALMOST TIME, I CAN TELL,
YOU'RE FULLY DILATED, ARE YOU IN PAIN?
NO MORE THAN WITH YOU OR YOUR SISTER,
YOU WERE THE WORST,
YOU JUST DIDN'T WANT TO COME OUT,
YOUR FATHER MUST HAVE SMOKED A CARTON WAITING FOR YOU,
SEEMS LIKE YESTERDAY,
I'M GLAD YOU REMEMBER,
SO AM I,
OH,
( panting )
BUT I HAVE TO TELL YOU...
IT'S SO IMPORTANT THAT YOU KNOW,
SOMETHING HAPPENED HERE 50 YEARS AGO,
SOMETHING EXTRAORDINARY,
IT HAPPENED TO FOUR OF US,
WE WERE PLANNING A PICNIC IN THE PARK
AND WE WERE DRAWN TO THE OLD ANDERSON FARM,
AFTER THAT NIGHT OUR WHOLE LIVES CHANGED,
WE COULDN'T TELL ANYONE
BECAUSE THEY WOULDN'T UNDERSTAND,
BUT WE COULD WAIT,
AND WE WAITED 50 YEARS FOR THIS VERY MOMENT,
SHE GAVE US FOUR CHANCES,
CHANCES TO DO WHAT?
TO CONCEIVE,
TO CREATE A VERY SPECIAL BABY,
A MIRACLE,
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
WHAT CAME FROM JERRY IS HUMAN, ,,
BUT THE EGG ISN'T,
OH, MY GOD, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?
THIS CHILD COULD TEACH US ALL SO MUCH,
I CAN'T, ,,
LISTEN TO ME!
LIKE US, THEY LIVED IN A PARADISE,
ANOTHER WORLD OF BEAUTY,
WHO?
SHE WAS THE LAST OF THEM,
I DON'T UNDERSTAND,
WHO ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
SHE CHOSE US BECAUSE WE WERE THE SAME AGE,
STILL INNOCENT AND HEALTHY,
SHE WAS YOUNG LIKE US, ALONE AND FRIGHTENED, ,,
VISITING OUR EARTH,
HER STORY MOVED US
SO MUCH THAT WE AGREED TO WHAT SHE WANTED,
( gasping )
WE LET HER IMPLANT
AN ALIEN EGG IN EACH OF US,
IT WAS REALLY QUITE PAINLESS,
WE WERE TOLD
TO LET IT GROW INSIDE OF US
UNTIL IT WAS READY FOR FERTILIZATION,
BUT IT TAKES THEIR EGGS
50 YEARS TO MATURE, THAT'S WHY SHE LEFT THE LIGHT,
THE LIGHT? WHAT THE HELL IS THE LIGHT?
SHE LEFT IT FOR US TO BECOME YOUNG AGAIN,
BUT ONLY LONG ENOUGH TO CONCEIVE,
( groaning )
WE KNEW SHE WAS LEAVING TO DIE,
ALL THAT'S LEFT
OF HER RACE NOW IS IN THIS BABY,
( gasps of pain )
THEN WE'LL HAVE TO MAKE SURE
IT COMES INTO THE WORLD SAFELY,
PUSH,
( groan )
( scream )
OH, MY GOD,
WHAT? WHAT?
WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE?
PLEASE,
( baby crying )
SHH, IT'S OKAY,
HONEY?
( baby crying )
LOOK, MOM, SHE'S SO BEAUTIFUL,
SHE IS BEAUTIFUL, ISN'T SHE?
HELEN, YOU'RE RIGHT,
WE MADE A MIRACLE,
HEY, SHE'S GOT, ,,
SHE'S GOT YOUR EYES, CHRISTINA,
SHE ALSO HAS YOUR MOTHER'S EYES,
OH,
NO,
I HAD SO MUCH I WANTED TO SAY TO YOU BEFORE, ,,
IT'S ALL RIGHT, CHRISTINA, YOU STILL CAN,
REALLY?
YOU KNOW WHO I AM?
YES,
THEIR GIFT TO ME,
I WON'T GET TO SEE IT ALL,
I WON'T BE ABLE TO WATCH HER
GROW UP WITH YOU,
DISCOVER THE WORLD,
FALL IN LOVE,
BUT I KNOW YOU'LL BE A WONDERFUL MOTHER, CHRISSY,
SHE'LL ALWAYS BE THE ONE PERSON
YOU THINK ABOUT MORE THAN YOURSELF,
AND THOUGH YOU MAY NOT SAY IT WHEN YOU SHOULD,
YOU'LL ALWAYS LOVE HER,
YOU'LL ALWAYS WORRY ABOUT HER,
AND YOU'LL ALWAYS BE SO PROUD OF HER,
AND NO MATTER HOW OLD YOU GET,
SHE'LL STILL BE YOUR LITTLE GIRL,

THE LOVE OF A MOTHER AND CHILD, ,,
IT IS ONLY FROM THESE PLACES
