Her Only Choice (2018) - full transcript

Hey Tasha, do you want

to go to the playground?

We've been sitting here

all day.

So?

Let's go inside and

play on my Game Boy.

No Bernie, I just

wanna sit here.

Look at what we got here.

Let me see this.



Give it back!

Give it back to him!

Go home and cry to

your sickly mother!

Don't you ever

say that again!

Tasha!

Come here.

Come all the way here, baby.

What's wrong?

Nothing.

What happened?

You and Bernie get mad

at each other again?



I see, somebody bothered you?

Who was it?

It was William.

He was being mean.

William?

Oh girl, that boy ain't

nothing but trouble.

I'll go handle this.

Uh Mama, lay back down.

No, I can't have that, baby.

I guess as much as I wanna get

up I can't, baby. I...

I just can't.

It's okay, Mama.

Go on stand in the

middle of the floor.

Go on.

Now what?

All right, I want you

to ball your fists up

as tightly as you can, and I

want you to spin 'em around

like a windmill.

Huh?

You know, like the big

windmills we see on the farm.

Why?

Because when something or

somebody bothers you, sweetie,

you gotta fight back.

I'm not always gonna be

around to defend you.

No, uh uh. Don't do that.

Pick your head up.

All right? Now on

the count of three,

I want you to spin your

arms as wild as you can

until you knock 'em down, okay?

- Mm-hmm.

- One, two, three.

Spin 'em Tasha, there you

go, there you go, baby.

I'm dizzy.

All right, come here.

Get up here with me.

You see Tasha, strength

isn't just physical,

it's mental and emotional too.

And I need you to be strong.

All right? You understand?

You promise?

Promise.

Come here.

intelligent wife ♪

the toilet seat down ♪

Oh God Bernie!

You woke me up when I have

15 minutes of sleep left.

Well, so what?

It's your birthday.

♪ Happy birthday to you ♪

Oh sing, my Barry White. Sing!

So go ahead.

Make a wish and blow

out that candle.

Yeah, oh.

My goodness, baby.

What?

Ohhh, I hope your wish

was for fresher breath.

- Bernie.

- Goodness, woman.

You need to use all of the

toothpaste this morning.

Are you serious--

And the mouthwash and

you need to floss too.

And you need to get

a pack of Tic Tacs

on your way to work.

Shut it, Bernie.

I'm just saying.

Would you shut up?

Anyway, uh, me and Tony

we gotta go lay a carpet

at that new office

complex on Blakely Road.

It's not that far. I

should be back in time

to head out to your

dad's for dinner.

Is that tonight?

Your birthday on another

night we don't know about?

No, it's just, you know

I was just trying to think

if maybe we could

skip all the dramatics

and just spend a nice quiet

evening just the two of us.

Like he's going to allow that.

Melvin ain't the boss of me.

No, he's just the

boss of your birthday.

- Hmm, he is isn't he?

- Hmm.

Fine.

You know, I'm going back to

sleep for ten more minutes then.

You got a little

icing right there.

Mmm, thank you.

You get your last ten minutes

of sleep birthday girl.

All right my Barry White.

- And I'll see you later.

- I heard you.

♪ Happy

breath day to you ♪

Stop, stop.

Boys and girls, I need you

to be writing these math--

Math equations in

your notebooks.

Enough with all the giggling.

Okay, what did I te--

Happy

birthday, Mrs. Jackson.

Oh, would you look at this.

Thank you, that was so kind

and thoughtful of each of you.

Now if you would, please line up

and place your beautiful

cards on my desk.

I will enjoy them later.

Single file line everyone,

single file line.

Thank you, my dear.

Thank you so much.

That's so thoughtful.

Ew!

Kids, if-- If you could excuse

me for a moment,

Take your seats.

Take your seats. Okay.

You know I threw

up in front of the kids

and grossed them out today?

Yes, yes you

told me several times.

I got my usual morning coffee

but... maybe the milk was sour.

Yeah, maybe and you

told me that too, look.

We just stay a little while

then we leave, all right?

Hour tops.

You promise?

Yeah, I'm not trying to

stay here all night.

Come on, let's get

this out of the way.

Why is it so dark in

here, man. It's nighttime.

Turn the lights on.

Surprise!

There's

my birthday girl.

Were you surprised?

Surprised is an

understatement, Daddy.

You really didn't have to

go through all this trouble.

It was Brenda's idea.

Melvin get that

camera out of her face,

the girl just got here.

Happy 30th birthday, Tasha.

Thank you so much, Brenda.

Somebody make Tasha a plate.

She's the birthday girl.

She gets served first.

And put a heap of my

mac 'n' cheese on

there, not Carol's.

You don't want any of

Carol's mac 'n' cheese,

she don't use the right

cheeses or seasonings,

and I don't even know

why she brought it

when she knows mine is the best.

Oh, trust me, I don't need a

heap of anything tonight, okay?

Of course you do, look at

you, you're skin and bones.

What you have against

hips I'll never know.

Wait are you serious,

have you seen my, mmm.

Okay, well put it there.

Uhhh, uhhh.

One more.

Uhhh.

- All right now.

- All right now.

Wow what a spread

we got tonight, huh?

Hi.

Everybody come on in

here and get some food.

Okay, 'cause after

this we're gonna watch

Tasha's birth video.

No, Daddy not tonight.

Please, can we skip the

birth video this year?

You talking crazy.

We watch that video every

year since you was born.

But we can skip this year.

How about--

Help me.

Hi everybody.

Daddy, we really gotta

upgrade you on that camera.

It's the best investment

that I ever made this camera.

VHS?

Get that God damn

camera out of my face

and help me you idiot.

- Screw you!

Oh my God.

Baby, hey, Tasha.

- Baby, hey, hey.

- What happened?

Could

somebody get some water?

Tasha?

- Hey listen.

- Hmm.

- Um...

- What?

I think you should

take one of those

home pregnancy tests.

Oh, Bernie. Honey for what?

Seven years of being told

that my eggs aren't fertile?

Bernie, a baby isn't

possible for us.

Well, babe I get

all that, but look...

You threw up at school,

you passed out at the party

and your cycle is late.

Isn't that what happen to a

woman when she's pregnant?

It's impossible.

Okay, how late are you?

- Two weeks.

- See, two-- Come on.

- What?

- Just take the test, baby.

Honey, if I am pregnant, I

need a doctor to confirm it.

Honey, listen it's almost

time for my annual exam,

I'll just get the

full work up, okay?

- Yeah?

- That work?

- That works.

- Good.

Good, all right.

Get some rest.

Okay, fine so

let's play what if.

Are you ready?

Do I have a choice.

- No. Okay.

- Okay.

What if, by some divine

intervention, I am pregnant?

- Hmm.

- Mm-hmm.

Would you want a baby

boy or a baby girl?

Well...

Yeah, I don't know. It

doesn't really matter.

I just want a healthy baby.

Boy, stop playing.

You know you want a boy. You

know you want a baby boy.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I

mean, I admit I would...

have a little more

in common with a boy.

Mm-hmm, just a little.

Just a little bit.

- If he was anything like me

he'd have that throwing arm.

- Mm-hmm.

I'd train him all

the way up to the NFL.

Aww.

And he could buy us a

big house in the Hamptons.

Where all the rich people live.

We could go to all

the dinner parties,

and sip on our wine, and um...

I would develop an accent,

and I would go

around saying things

like um... "Lovely weather

we're having, darling."

Right, right?

"How do you do?

How do you do?

How is the weather; Crisp

and clean and fresh?"

- Right.

- You see I talk well?

Yeah, yeah you

gonna talk like that?

You gonna have to do that on

the other side of the room.

Oh. And you don't

drink wine so...

- I bet I would start.

- Right.

When you're paying a hundred

dollars a bottle, or a sip?

- Shoot.

Okay so, what if we had a girl.

Oh, a baby girl?

She'd be so cute.

Yeah.

I don't know maybe she

would become president.

Yes.

And bring about world peace.

I like that.

- You like that?

- Mm-hmm.

Mmm.

Oh.

Namaste.

I'm pretty sure your using

that word in the wrong context.

I told you I just like

saying it, joy stealer.

All right, you keep saying

it. Say it real low

'cause I'm going to sleep.

Stop.

- Go to bed lady, goodness.

- Whatever.

Well Tasha, we're all done

with your annual physical,

we have your blood work,

but because of your family's

history with breast cancer...

Ah, let me guess, you

need me to go to radiology

next door for my mammogram?

Precisely.

I've been getting mammograms

for the past five years

Doctor Bailey, I

know the routine.

But those machines, oh my God,

they are so uncomfortable.

I know that mammograms

can be uncomfortable,

but because you carry the

mutated gene for breast cancer,

it's really important

that you get your checkups

at this early age.

Understood.

But what if I am pregnant?

I mean is it okay for me to

get a mammogram right now?

With all that radiation,

it's just-- I don't--

Normally, mammograms

are safe during pregnancy

because the amount of

radiation is minimal.

But Tasha, I don't want

you getting your hopes up.

Your chances are less

than five percent

of becoming pregnant.

Your eggs just aren't fertile.

I got it.

I know.

Are you gonna be okay?

I will be.

Okay well, get dressed

and we'll talk soon okay?

Thank you, Doctor Bailey.

So we get the carpet

out, ready to install it,

and I unroll it and

I see all these cuts,

all through the whole roll,

a whole bunch of

cuts on the carpet.

Yeah, it was completely

ruined. Couldn't use any of it.

The customer was unsatisfied,

of course, for obvious reasons.

And it set me and

Tony back two days,

we'll have to get new carpet

and still have it

installed on time.

- Hmm.

- It's crazy.

Tasha?

Baby?

What's up?

Have you listened

to a word I said?

Yeah, you said, "carpet,

slices, pushback."

Right.

It's this funny thing about me

though, you know, it's like

when I talk to someone, I like

when they interact with me, so.

- Honey, I'm sorry.

- Hmm.

I don't know. I've just been

having so much on my mind

and of course I'm tired,

I don't know what's

going on with me.

Well, thinking about

the test results

is not gonna make the

phone ring any faster.

Yeah.

Well, it did make something

ring now didn't it?

- Mm, mm, mm.

- Yeah, you're funny. Not really.

- Be right back.

- Mm-hmm.

We have a guest.

Hey.

Just thought I'd come by

and see how she was doing.

Oh, I'm doing good

Daddy, much better.

How you doing, young man?

I'm good man, we

just having dinner.

Good.

'Cause I am hungry.

Oh, I'll get you a bowl.

So, Bernie informed me

that the other night

you got some really

great video footage.

- I always get good

video footage.

- Mm-hmm.

Well, she says

that she can't stand

the fact that you always

gotta video tape everything.

I don't video everything.

I just video the

important stuff.

So, me passing out at

my party was important?

Well, yeah.

Daddy, come on,

that is embarrassing.

Don't show that video to anyone.

When you say

anyone, you mean what?

Anyone.

Fine.

But one day, you're gonna

look back at that footage

and you gonna appreciate it.

And then you gonna realize

why I video everything.

Because life is precious, baby,

and I capture those moments

so that you have

something to hold onto.

You even hold onto your

mothers memory because of it.

Yes, Daddy, and I

do appreciate it,

but video of me fainting

needs to be destroyed.

Have you gone to

the doctor to find out

why you passed out?

Yes, and we're

waiting on the results.

Well, Brenda and I think it's

because you don't eat right.

You seriously gonna

start that tonight?

Well, just look at

this for example, huh?

I mean, what is this okay,

this "egg poo young" nonsense?

It's egg foo yong, Melvin.

"Poo young". Whatever it

is, okay? It's not a

wholesome meal.

You know what you

need to do, right?

Take some cooking classes.

Exactly.

Excuse me?

I didn't say nothing.

You didn't marry me for

my cooking, now did you?

Mm. No ma'am I did not.

Excuse me, I ain't trying

to hear all that now, all right?

What, Daddy?

That we have sex?

Tasha.

♪ Let's get it on ♪

I tried to have

that talk with you

when you was a little girl.

That talk with you about sex?

You didn't want to

hear nothing about it.

Now look at you.

Tasha. Tasha.

Yeah?

I want to talk to

you for a minute.

Brenda suggested that

maybe you stay home today.

You know since you, well you

know, started menstruation.

God Dad, don't

say that out loud.

I'm sorry, okay? I don't

know all the rules.

Um, did she teach you about

those little pads?

Please let this to

be the end of the talk.

Or my life.

Do you want me to

take you to the store?

Do you need something?

No.

So, do you have any questions?

No.

Tasha, you know, since you are

becoming a woman as of today,

I don't know, I thought maybe

you might have a few questions.

Questions about what?

What do you know about sex?

I'm not having

this talk with you.

Yes you are, okay.

Your mother is not

here, okay so,

who else are you gonna

talk to about it but me?

Dad.

Look Tasha, I am

serious about this okay?

When I was a kid, no one

told me anything about sex.

Everything I learned about sex

was from a song called

"Let's Get It On."

Hmm.

Have to look that one up.

No you don't.

Look many years from now...

maybe when you're 60 or so,

you know you're

gonna wanna have sex.

60 dad?

Come on.

All right, 40, 45,

something like that.

I'm not waiting that long,

and let me save us both

from this devastation.

I've already had

sex ed at school.

I know about sex, the vagina,

penis, egg, and sperm.

Sexually transmitted

diseases, all that.

- Okay, but there's more--

- But nothing, Dad.

Stop stressing. I'm gonna wait

till I get married to have sex.

I want to have a

beautiful wedding,

just like you and Mom had.

I want a house full

of children, five.

Five?

And I have their

names picked out too.

Patricia, after Mom of course.

Candice, so I can

nickname her Candy.

Oh wait, that sounds like a

stripper name. Scratch that one.

And Alfonzo is gonna be amazing.

Okay. I see you have this

all planned out, all right?

We don't have to go through

every single detail.

Great. Now I

gotta go to school.

Good talk, huh?

I hope.

Great work, Zinobia.

All right class, I need

to return a quick call,

but I will be right at

the door if you need me.

You may talk. Quietly.

Hello?

Yes, this is Tasha Jackson

returning your call.

Okay, so my results aren't in?

Oh, they are?

Well, why can't you just give

them to me over the phone?

Oh, of course my husband

and I will be there

if Dr. Bailey insists.

I apologize for the delay.

It's all right.

Mr. and Mrs. Jackson,

Tasha's results are in

but I wanted to speak

with you personally

because her results are

well, delicate in nature.

What is it, Doctor?

I thought about

how to tell you this

but there's only one

way to say it so,

I'm just gonna come out with it.

You have defied the odds, Tasha.

You're pregnant.

- Oh my God!

- Are you serious?

Oh my God!

Oh, Bernie.

Are you serious?

Nine weeks along.

A baby.

Wow.

But a mass was found

on your mammogram.

- Wait.

- What?

Wait no, no, no. I've been

getting my mammogram for years,

and my results have

always been clean.

I know, and I'm sorry,

but unfortunately

this result was not.

Whoa hold on a second, wait.

Just so I can

understand you clearly,

are you saying my wife

has breast cancer?

No, I'm not saying that at all.

A biopsy will have to be

preformed to determine that.

What I'm saying is

that Tasha has a mass,

and as you both already know

she carries a mutated gene.

The BRCA1 she inherited

from her mother.

This mutation causes

a greater risk

of developing breast cancer.

Okay, but...

but, she can get the biopsy back

and find out the

mass isn't cancerous,

and she and the baby

will be fine, right?

Yes, of course.

The mass can be benign.

And what if it isn't?

If it's malignant,

then your oncologist will

talk to you about

the next steps.

No, no, Doc, you could

just tell us right now.

You're a doctor, you have

an idea of what'll happen.

Please.

I'm sorry I...

Listen, we've been wanting

this baby for a long time.

Yes.

Right, we've been through

too much so just, just tell us.

Okay normally, in a case such

as this, with the pregnancy

in it's early stages, if the

mass is indeed malignant,

depending on the

stage that it's in,

then your

oncologist might suggest

that you terminate the pregnancy

and receive treatment

immediately.

Terminate the pregnancy?

God. Bernie.

Tasha.

If it's between

you and this baby...

I mean, it's no... real choice

in the matter, you know?

Are you serious?

Just, we have options.

Right?

Tasha let me order the biopsy

and let's look at the results

before you get yourself upset.

I mean, in your condition

it is very important

that you remain calm.

Oh God, I can't.

Tasha, baby.

I can't!

Thank you.

Tasha.

Tasha.

Don't you speak to me.

Wait, don't use that

teacher voice on me.

How dare you say

that if it's between me

and the baby there's

no other choice?

My body, my choice.

Hey, wait a second,

you're my wife, okay?

- I have a say in this.

- No, you don't, Bernie.

Yes, I do, Tasha!

I do have a say! Okay?

Why is this happening to me?

Why is this happening to us?

Listen.

What?

Let's not do

this to each other.

Not right now.

The biopsy could

come back benign

and everything will be okay.

All right?

- Okay.

- Okay.

- Come on.

- I'm sorry, Bernie.

No, that's okay, come on.

It's gonna be all right.

Daddy.

It's malignant.

Damn it.

My baby, my baby, my baby.

When I had that biopsy done,

I just knew that everything

was gonna be okay.

But the oncologist

said that I have...

I have invasive ductal

carcinoma stage two.

It's an aggressive

form of breast cancer.

I know. It's what your

mother had, stage four.

Yeah so, Melvin,

Brenda will you please

help me talk some

sense into her?

Please?

The oncologist said that we

should terminate the pregnancy

now so that she can

start her treatment.

Terminate the pregnancy?

Yes.

This is our baby, Bernie.

How many times do I have

to remind you of that?

That's our baby.

Tasha honey,

this is your life.

Yes. Yes. This

is my life. Mine.

Who around this table

understands that?

What is there to understand?

Huh?

The oncologist said that

her cancer's treatable

if we start now, Tasha.

Did you ask the

doctor what would happen

if she's waits till

after the pregnancy?

Yeah, and if she waits

until the baby is born,

then the cancer could grow

and it may be too late

to do anything about it.

Tasha, baby, what

do you want to do?

I want to have our baby.

Look, whatever time I

have left on this earth

I would rather spend it

having a baby to love,

than without one.

Daddy, this is a miracle.

This baby is a gift from God.

What part about that don't

you understand, Bernie?

You know what, I'm not gonna

sit here and listen to this.

So what, you're

just gonna walk away?

You're just gonna walk away?

Let him go. He has

a lot to process.

Trust me, I know.

The thought about

losing the only woman

that you've ever loved...

It's a lot to deal with.

So what?

You two gonna gang up on me too?

Is that it?

We're not gonna

gang up on you, Tasha,

but if your doctor is urging

you to terminate the pregnancy,

then you need to listen to him.

I seen what this disease

can do first hand

and baby, I don't

wish that on you.

Hey, come here.

Come over here with us.

My girls.

♪ And I try to care from

an angel made for me ♪

♪ Made for me ♪

♪ Made for me ♪

♪ Made for me ♪

Patricia.

Patricia.

Tasha, call 911 like

we practiced, come on.

Tasha, now!

Patricia.

Even though I

saw how much pain this

disease caused her,

I was equally hurt

that you had to grow up

without her guidance.

Hey Tashy,

you wanna come out

and get something to eat?

I know you must be hungry.

I'm not hungry.

You sure?

You know, Tasha you can

talk to me about anything.

Just like your momma did.

I mean, I wasn't her

best friend for nothing.

Okay.

I'm here if you need me.

Hey, Tasha.

Hey, Bernie.

Your mommy's

gone to Heaven, huh?

My dog Split went to heaven

too, guess it's a good place.

That's what they say in church.

Remember the day

of the funeral?

How could I forget? Yeah.

Heard your mom kicked

the bucket, shrimp.

When I pulled you

out of that fight...

Tasha, stop!

Tasha, I said stop!

...I knew right then and there,

I could only do so much for you.

You really need to think

about the possibility

of this child growing

up without you.

Now come on, Daddy's

gonna take you home.

I mean one minute we

can't have any kids.

The next minute...

You know?

It's all so much all

of a sudden, man.

Yeah, I know.

I mean, I can't pretend I never

wanted children, you know?

Hmm.

But when we found out

Tasha couldn't have any,

I was cool with that, you know.

I wasn't going

anywhere. I love her.

Yeah, I get it.

I don't want this baby, Tony.

It might not be right

but, that's how I feel.

You'll come around.

I doubt it.

- She needs you man.

- Mm-mm.

Bro, she don't need me.

She got it all figured out.

She's so damn stubborn.

Yeah.

I tucked her in just like

I did when she was little.

She was spent.

I'm sure.

I can't believe

this is happening.

Not to her.

Can I get a cup of tea?

What?

You mad at me?

I don't know, am I?

What does--

What's that

supposed to mean.

It means... When will I

be enough for you, Melvin?

I don't know what the

hell you talking about.

All these years I've been here,

I feel like I'm

invisible to you.

Invisible?

You're standing

right in front of me.

Do you see me?

'Cause I feel like I'm

standing in Patricia's shadow.

Nothing I do is ever

good enough for you.

Not when I helped you take care

of my best friend

until her death.

Not even when I

helped you raise Tasha

while I'm raising my own boys.

Not once have I ever

felt appreciated.

We're in a relationship Brenda,

that's not enough for you?

No, it's not.

Then what do you

want from me, huh?

A thank you?

Do you love me?

My only child

just walked in here

and told me she

has breast cancer

and she's foregoing treatment

for a child she may never raise.

Every bit of love,

every bit of support,

every bit of strength,

everything I have in me

is going to my daughter.

You either accept that, or not.

I'm going to bed.

Tasha baby,

please open the door.

Tasha's in the bathroom,

she won't come out.

I didn't know what to

do so I called you.

It's fine. She's 12 years old.

If she's not coming out of the

bathroom it's for one reason.

Sanitary napkins. She's

crossed over into womanhood.

How could I not know that?

Don't beat

yourself up about it.

Tasha honey, it's Brenda.

Can I come in?

I'll be in the kitchen.

It'll be fine.

Yeah.

She's growing up.

Best to let her stay

home from school today.

Experiencing that

for the first time

can be a little traumatic.

Thank you, Brenda.

Mm-hmm. No problem.

You know,

with Patricia

gone I just feel as though

there's so much

she's missing out on

that I can't give to her.

Well, I'm not her mother,

but I'm always here

to help you with her.

I don't want to burden you.

It's no burden.

I can help her.

And you.

- I can't.

- Yes, you can.

Melvin.

You're a man with needs.

I'm a woman with the same needs.

My needs are taken

care of just fine.

Oh, I see.

So, you can be with other

women, just not me. Is that it?

Brenda, it's not

easy for you and me.

You were her best friend.

It's been four years.

You think I don't know that?

She's gone Melvin, and

I'm here, and I love you.

And that little girl upstairs,

- I love her like she's my own.

- I know that.

Then why?

I just-- Look I

just can't, okay?

Can't is not a reason.

Why don't you just

consider the fact that--

Look, I'm still in

love with my wife, okay?

Look, I don't want

to hurt you, Brenda.

I took care of her

when that cancer

was just eating her away.

I did everything I

could to keep her here.

Because Tasha needed her mother.

I took care of her too.

I was right there with you.

So you expect me to just

make love to her best friend?

Yes.

You just don't understand.

I can't betray

Patricia like that.

You can't betray a dead woman.

I didn't mean that. I'm sorry.

Look, I know she's dead, okay?

And she's not coming back.

And you're a beautiful

woman. Any man would be

lucky to have you.

But I'm not gonna sit here

and pretend that I want any

more from you than friendship.

I don't need anymore friends.

I can't do this anymore.

Brenda, don't leave.

Tasha needs you.

If only you needed me too.

Hey.

Hey.

I have a sonogram

appointment this morning.

You think you could make it?

Um, yeah, I don't think so

babe. I don't think I can.

Could you try?

I gotta work.

All right. Okay, thanks

for telling me. Okay.

That was Tasha. She has

a sonogram this morning.

What? You still

not talking to me?

For what?

I don't have anything to say.

Then don't say

anything.

We just uh...

make up.

Aren't we a little

too old for make up sex?

I don't know.

Tell me when we're finished.

The gel is warm.

Okay.

Oh.

All right, here we go.

There.

It looks like a

little kidney bean.

Yes, that's what it's supposed

to look like at this gestation.

Wow.

Well, is everything okay,

is the heart beating?

Heart beat is strong.

You're about 11 weeks along.

Miss Jackson, are you okay?

I wish my husband

was here is all.

We'll print a

picture out for him.

No one wants to do

the first... ya know,

sonogram alone, you know?

Oh yeah, I understand.

Did we miss it?

Oh my God, you're here?

Oh, Brenda and Daddy.

Oh, here you go.

We would have been

here earlier but um--

Traffic.

- Yeah.

- We were caught in traffic.

Yeah, caught in traffic, good

traffic-- I mean, big traffic.

Yeah.

Okay?

All right, let's fire this thing

up so I can see this baby.

Oh, yeah, sure thing.

Oh, yeah.

Look, I got the baby

on film before it's even here!

I know. It's so tiny.

Okay, here goes nothing.

Hello there, um... well, today

has been all in all, uh...

Oh my God.

What the hell am

I trying to say?

Oh, I got it.

All right, um... Hey there

little person, whoever you are.

My name is Tasha, Tasha Jackson

and um...

I recently turned 30 and um...

Damn it. This thing's

not even recording.

Okay, okay here we go.

Hello, little one.

I am your mommy, Tasha,

and right now you

are in my tummy, see?

Um, I am recording this

because apparently

your grandfather Melvin

had it right all along.

Important things should

be captured on film.

So here I am recording

this just for you.

So, I am 11 weeks

pregnant with you

and I also have breast cancer.

Just like my mom.

But I want you to know

that no matter what

happens, I chose you.

You are loved,

and I will always,

always be here with you.

Tasha.

That's your loud daddy.

Yeah?

Breakfast.

What's all this?

What do you mean,

it's breakfast.

Well, I can see that, it's

just your idea of breakfast

is usually cereal.

Yeah, well.

Not today.

Bernie, don't do this.

Do what?

Start doing all this

extra unnecessary stuff.

It's just breakfast, Tasha.

No, it's not, it's um...

"You know I think you're

gonna die soon,

so let me start doing this

extra stuff to compensate

for what I should have

been doing all along."

That's not fair, Tasha.

Okay? I made breakfast

because I wanted to.

So this is the

part where we start

talking about what's fair?

No, you don't want to

have that conversation

with me right now, trust me.

Oh, yes I do. I do want

to have this conversation.

All right, let's have

the conversation.

How are you gonna

convince me or anybody else

that you're being fair to

yourself and your husband

by keeping this baby instead

of saving your own life?

Hmm? Explain to me how

that's fair. I'm listening.

Bernie, this is not 25 years

ago when my mother had cancer.

There are new treatments

and medicines...

You are acting as if you're

about to plan my funeral.

I might have to.

Do you understand that,

Tasha? I just might have to.

God, you don't think

that I'm afraid of that?

I am, God knows I wanna live.

Then do what needs

to be done, okay?

God.

You are so damn

stubborn and naive.

And what if I lose you, huh?

Hmm? What then?

What do I do?

I've loved you my

entire life, Tasha.

Oh Bernie, I am so sorry.

I am so--

I am so sorry.

Ok, um...

Look, you ready to go?

Oh my God, my feet

are killing me.

You're walking around

campus all day

and then you come

here work at night,

I bet your feet do hurt.

Don't expect no foot

rub or nothing, though.

Thanks for coming all

this way to pick me up.

It aint nothing, you know,

that's what best friends

are for, right?

Yes.

Why

am I picking you up?

Because I asked you to.

I know that, your dad

couldn't pick you up?

- I'm trying to surprise him.

- Aww.

Ain't that sweet.

Why are you coming home now?

It's not a holiday or

a break or anything.

Tomorrow's the

anniversary of Mom's death.

I don't like leaving

him home alone you know?

Yeah, I bet that.

That's what's up.

Don't act like you

ain't gonna put no money

in my gas tank, though.

So what, you broke again?

What?

Girl, you got jokes.

Nah, I ain't broke.

I got a little

something happening.

Doing what?

Don't look at me like that.

I ain't doing nothing

illegal, Tasha.

Hey yo,

for real, I'm not.

I got a job at this

carpet company.

Bernie, you the dude

that can barely vacuum.

Well, I guess that's something

we got in common then.

Well, good for you then.

Take care of you

too, if you let me.

Okay, you see Bernie that's

what I'm talking about.

You play too much.

Brenda, hey. It's been a while.

Melvin, hi.

Yeah, what five years at least.

Six years to be exact.

What are you doing here?

Well, you know a

little market like this

is the best place to

get a good steak.

It's the best market in town.

I was just picking up my

seasonings for my jerk chicken.

Ah, your jerk chicken, yeah.

I remember that.

So, how's Tasha?

- She's in college now.

- Wow.

Yeah, actually I was

hoping she'd come home

in a few days, for you know...

Uh, but she's busy studying.

Tomorrow's the anniversary

of Patricia's passing.

Yeah. What's going on

with you? You married?

You not married? What?

No, no, no. Been

there done that.

Yeah, I remember you having

a hard time with your divorce.

Oh, no not really. He

was a lying, manipulative,

narcissistic, weak example of

a man. Easy to walk away from.

Damn, tell me how

you really feel.

Well, listen, it was

good to see you Melvin.

Give Tasha my love and

tell her I miss her.

What about me? I mean, do

you miss me even a little?

You were such a constant

in our lives for years,

and these past years without

you, I really regret it.

If I could go back I

would-- Well it's not important.

I really miss you, Brenda.

I'm not Patricia, Melvin.

I know that.

I was never trying

to take her place.

I was just trying to be there

in whatever capacity I could.

I realize that, and I took

you for granted and I'm sorry.

Yes, I do miss you.

Well, what are you

doing tonight?

Are you busy?

Would you like to have dinner?

Remember, I cook a mean steak.

Thank you, but um...

I'm gonna pass on dinner.

You take care of yourself, okay?

Melvin.

I like my steaks rare.

Okay.

Cabernet?

Daddy!

Daddy, I'm home!

Daddy!

Brenda?

Oh!

Oh my God, I can't believe this.

And on the anniversary

of my mother's death?

That is totally disrespectful.

Well, technically it's

not on the anniversary.

That's tomorrow, but I mean--

To me, your dad and Brenda

makes sense, you know?

Really, Bernie?

She was my mother's best friend.

Yeah I know, but I mean...

What do you mean?

What do you mean?

Look, it's not like he's

cheating on your moms, you know?

And Brenda, I mean, I'm just

saying-- I'd hit it.

Ow, hey come on

stop hitting on me.

No, not when you

say dumb crap like that.

Come on Tasha, are you serious?

What, you think your dad's

gonna go the rest of his life

without gettin' some?

Come on man, you

need to chill out.

I don't need to do anything,

but go back to school right now.

No. no. Right now?

- Yes.

- No, no.

We're not going back right

now, we just got here.

I'm not turning around and

taking you all the way back.

Fine.

Can I spend the night

at your house then?

I really don't want

to got home tonight.

Are you finished yet?

Bernie, I told you not to look.

I'm not looking,

all right? I'm just tired.

You know, it took me four

hours to come get you

and four hours to come back.

Okay, I'm done.

Thank you.

Bernie, what are you doing?

I'm not sleeping

in my clothes.

Oh, man.

No, no, no, no, no,

you sleep on the floor

and I'm gonna sleep in the bed.

Tasha, I am not sleeping

on the floor okay?

I'm tired. I just wanna

get in my own bed.

Ain't nobody gonna

touch you girl, move.

But, what if your mom comes in?

She's not coming in here.

She works the night shift now.

Bernie?

Huh?

How many girls

have you been with?

What?

Tasha, you crazy girl,

go to bed.

Did you love any of them?

No.

So, you've never been in love?

Well, yeah.

With who?

With you.

Me?

You can't be in love with me.

I'm your best friend.

That's more the reason, right?

Make love to me, then.

What?

Nah.

What do you mean, "nah"?

No.

What, is there

something wrong with me?

No, there's nothing

wrong with you I'm just...

Okay, well then why not?

I'm not making love to

you until I marry you, okay?

Marry me?

Bernie you are so stupid

sometimes. Oh my gosh.

Marry me.

No, I'm not stupid, Tasha.

I'm gonna marry you one day.

I'm serious.

But, for right now I'm gonna

get some sleep. All right?

Goodnight.

Come on in and take a seat.

We're just getting started.

Okay. Thank you.

I know we are

all going through

a lot of emotion right now.

Ranging from fear

to self pity to, well,

feeling less than a woman.

But your focus should

not be on those things.

Your focus should be

sharing your information

and your resources

to help one another.

Black women are more

likely to be diagnosed

with breast cancer, and

have more aggressive forms

of the disease than white women.

Each of you have your own

set of unique circumstances,

but we are dealing with a

disease that can be cured

if monitored and

treated properly.

We need to give our breasts

the attention they deserve.

So, does anyone want to share?

Anybody?

Oh yeah, Denise.

Well, I just had day 30 of

my chemo, I'm almost done.

I know, what a wonderful thing.

And I feel good today.

I'm strong.

I know I can beat this thing.

How wonderful for you, Denise,

but some of us don't

have enough time left

to think about next year.

Let me just remind you

that we were just at Jasmine's

funeral last weekend.

I mean, she was just sitting

here with us, now she's gone.

I haven't forgotten

about Jasmine.

Yeah, well, some of us are

barely hanging on to hope.

But y'all wanna post your

little pictures on social media

of your bald heads

and your smiles,

like this isn't killing women.

Women do that to

encourage one another;

to let each other know

they can get through this.

I'm angry.

I'm hurt.

And I hate...

that this

is happening to me.

My cancer is terminal.

I have kids for God's sake.

What are they gonna

do without me?

Tell me that?

Look, I know that

you are so angry--

You're damn right I am.

I wanna live!

Oh, God, we all want that.

I'm sorry, excuse

me? What did you say?

You wanna talk?

Tell me your name.

I'm Tasha Jackson and

I was simply agreeing

with the fact that

we all want to live.

Well, the great news is

that I just found out

that I'm pregnant

with my first child.

A baby that I have wanted and

prayed for my entire life.

A baby that, clinically

speaking, I was never supposed

to be able to conceive

because I'm infertile. I was.

On the flip side is the

reason we are all here.

I too have been diagnosed

with breast cancer.

My doctor has advised that

I terminate my pregnancy

in order to begin

treatments immediately.

But sacrificing my

child's life in order

to save mine is a decision

that I simply cannot make.

Adopt a baby.

Terminate your pregnancy

and save your life.

Take it from someone who

isn't gonna beat this thing.

Charlene, please.

Can you tell me, why

is it so important

that you would risk your

own life for this baby?

Do you have children?

Yes, I have three.

Would you risk your life

in order to protect them?

Would you die to save them?

Of course I would.

Even though my child

is still inside of me,

I feel that exact same way.

Okay ladies, I'll

see you next week.

Uh, Tasha.

This is Dr. Lopez's card.

I know you think

you're the only woman

who has cancer while

pregnant, but you're not.

Go see him.

I was told that you

could help me Dr. Lopez.

There has to be another option.

Now, I have received all

of your medical records

that were transferred

to my office,

and I cannot say that

terminating your pregnancy

at this juncture was the wrong

advice from your oncologist.

In fact, it's normal practice

to suggest termination

in the first trimester when

there's cancer present.

You need treatment Mrs.

Jackson, you need it now.

You have an aggressive

form of breast cancer.

Hormones that your body's

producing during your pregnancy

will only cause the tumor

to grow and possibly spread.

You cannot afford to wait.

What I can't afford

is to abort my baby.

Then I will do

everything in my power

to keep your baby safe

while you receive treatment.

You will?

I will.

But this will be

a long hard road,

nothing about this will be easy.

What do we need to do?

Well, the first step is a

mastectomy of the left breast

with a partial

reconstruction, immediately.

I understand your concerns.

Surgery is always a

risk, pregnant or not.

And the closer the

surgery is to the uterus,

we run the risk of a

spontaneous abortion.

However, I feel certain that

we can preform the surgery

and keep the baby safe.

So that's it?

We do the surgery now,

while I'm pregnant,

and the chemo after?

You will be receiving chemo

during your pregnancy

Mrs. Jackson.

What?

How on earth is that possible?

Dr. Lopez, I saw first hand what

that chemo did to my mother

and it sucked the

life out of her.

How could I go through

something like that

while I'm pregnant? How

could my baby survive that?

While there are certain

types of chemo that would harm

the baby, there are other

types that will be harmless,

spread out over a period of

every three weeks for six

months,

and I will connect

with your obstetrician.

We will monitor both you

and the baby very closely.

I'm sorry, but this

is a lot to process.

I must tell you that

while I am certain

that we can keep the baby safe,

I cannot be certain of

how the cancer will react.

So what you're

telling me is that

I could go through all of

this and still won't be cured?

Yes.

The reality is we can

give you this treatment

and it will not work.

Even as doctors we cannot

ignore the possibility

that your husband would raise

this child, your child, alone.

The choice is yours,

Mrs. Jackson.

But I promise to be with

you every step of the way.

I see that you're married too.

What would you tell your wife

if she were the one

that was sitting here?

I'd tell her to keep that baby

and to start her treatment now.

This is the...

This is the lobby.

All right, this

must be upstairs.

Yeah.

I hope they got

the AC up there.

I know, this

heat is killing me.

You ain't lying.

And this is the extra for...

I don't even know

what this is for.

We got room

for the other one.

Hey.

I need to talk to you.

Hey, Tony.

Hey, Tasha.

Bernie told me about the

baby, congratulations.

Thanks.

What?

You mind giving us a minute?

I'll be inside.

Good seeing you, Tasha.

Bye.

What do you gotta tell

me that couldn't be--

couldn't be said

on the phone Tasha?

All right, first you need to get

rid of your little attitude.

I'm working babe, okay?

What is it?

I went to see a new

oncologist this morning

to get a second opinion.

So, you went to the

doctor without me?

Yes.

I mean, it's not

like you were there

for my sonogram appointment,

so what's your point?

Babe, you're really

pushing it, all right?

Just tell me what happened.

He said that I

can keep the baby

and begin treatment for

the cancer right now.

That he could keep

our baby safe.

He said that?

Yeah.

But in addition to the chemo,

I also have to have a surgery.

What kind of surgery?

A mastectomy.

That I have to have my left

breast removed immediately.

But Bernie, the point is,

we can keep our baby.

Yeah, yeah.

That's exactly what

we're gonna do.

Oh God, I was hoping

you would say that.

My big announcement is...

my husband and I are

having a baby.

Now, because I will

need plenty of rest,

I am going on leave after today,

and you all are getting

a substitute teacher.

I know, I will miss each

and every one of you

very, very much.

Yes, Aubrey?

But your tummy isn't big.

That's because the

baby is still growing.

KJ.

How did the baby

get in your stomach?

We all know the

stork doesn't drop off

the baby at the hospital.

Mm-hmm.

Okay, let's change

the subject, shall we?

If you all could open up your

science readers to page 11,

and not that kind of science.

Okay mammals, that's what we're

gonna talk about, mammals.

Bernie honey, come on,

come on and sit down.

You gotta think positive.

I'm sure Tasha and the baby

are gonna get through

the surgery just fine.

And what if they don't?

You know, cause if

Tasha wakes up,

and finds out anything

happened to that baby.

She'll never forgive

herself, or me.

None of this is your fault.

It is my fault, Melvin.

I should have done something

else, I don't know.

Mom and baby are fine.

Mrs. Jackson did great.

We were able to get her

left breast and the tumor.

Thank you, Doc.

Thank you.

Your welcome.

Hey, you'll be able

to see her soon.

Okay.

Listen.

If there's one thing I know

how to do it's beat a face.

Yeah.

All right, here ya go.

Oh.

Do you like it?

Oh, I look just like Mama.

Yeah, ya do.

Brenda, I miss her so much.

Me too, but she would

be so proud of you.

And so happy about

that grandbaby.

I know.

Brenda, I know for

the first two years

I was very upset

about you and Daddy.

Oh, listen that's water

under the bridge girl.

I know that I was young,

and I just didn't understand.

But, I want you to know

how beyond grateful

I am that he has you.

And even though he may be a

little complicated at times...

-...know how much he loves you.

- Well,

I can certainly

say I love him.

Now, let's get that dress on.

We are going to

shower you with gifts.

Aw.

That is so adorable.

Look at these booty shorts.

Baby booty--

Come on man.

Look at this!

The little-- Who did this one?

Oh my God, that

is so beautiful.

Oh. Precious. Isn't

that sweet, Carol?

It's so precious.

Oh, we're not gonna have

to buy clothes for years.

Thank you so much.

A diaper bag.

You can use that.

Oh, let's see if I

can put it on now.

Oh, look at that.

That is so great.

Nice.

Oh, get up off the floor.

What is wrong with you?

Would you get up off the floor?

You are out of your mind.

Get up off the floor, would you?

You are in the way.

Daddy gets every shot--

Oh, here we go again.

Here we are again bro.

Melvin.

Here we go. Look.

Today, I am 33 weeks pregnant,

and we also had

your baby shower.

The biggest news, is that

you are gonna be here

in about, oh just

a few short weeks.

Oh honey, see the

doctor's gonna perform

what they call a C-section.

And that means he's gonna

cut you outta mommy's tummy.

Now, I know that may sound gross

and it may be too

much information,

but the point is that you

are going to be here soon

and safe.

Keep on doing what you're

doing girl, you are so strong.

And promise me that you're

always gonna be that way.

Oof!

My goodness, time

for a potty break.

Mommy can't keep going like this

with a three pound

Patricia on her bladder.

All right.

How do I get out of this chair?

Okay, here goes.

Oh my God.

Bernie? I think my

water just broke!

The baby's here.

She and Tasha are

doing just fine.

Congratulations, Daddy.

Ah, thank you. Oh, my God.

She's uh... She's a

little small, but they say

she's doing good.

Amazing.

- Yeah.

- And how's my baby girl?

She was a champ bro.

Melvin, she was a champ.

Oh, that's my baby.

Thank God. Thank God.

I cannot believe this.

I'm a papa.

Yes, you are.

And uh...

you're a proud grandpapa.

Yeah, uh, okay. I guess I am.

Congratulations.

Baby, you did so good.

Oh yes, we just saw

the baby in NICU.

Daddy, could you stop?

I look a mess.

What you talking about?

You look great, I

mean considering.

Tasha's a mommy. You did it.

I did, didn't I?

Yes, you did, baby.

She's healthy and wonderful.

Yeah, she is.

Knock knock.

Oh, Dr. Lopez.

Your OB called my office

and let me know you

delivered the baby last night

and everything went well.

Thank you.

No thanks needed. I'm just

glad she arrived safely.

Yes.

A little earlier

than we would have liked.

A little early.

What about Tasha?

Well, she has two

more chemo sessions.

And then we'll get the

MRI, see if she's cleared.

Could we not talk

about that right now

and focus on celebrating?

Well, you do that and

I will see you later.

Everybody take care. Huh?

- Thank you.

- Thank you.

Well, I don't know about ya'll,

but I can't wait to

get that baby home.

Now listen, you don't have

to worry about a thing.

I'm gonna come over. I'm

gonna sleep on the couch.

I'm gonna fix the formula.

I'm gonna change the diapers.

I'm gonna get up in the middle

of the night with the baby.

I know Bernie don't know nothing

about taking care of no baby.

I was praying

you would say that.

I don't know what we would

do without you, Brenda.

I don't think Bernie knows

how to change a diaper.

I don't think so either.

Look who's here.

Oh, honey.

I know, I know.

Oh my God, would you

look at that girl?

Look at this big old baby.

Oh.

- Hey, little mama.

- Oh.

- Come here.

- How precious is she?

Come here, what

you smiling at?

- Hi.

- Huh, what you smiling at?

Come on.

- I know, I know, I know.

- It's okay.

- Come to Mama.

It's okay.

Patricia, it's fine.

It's all right, baby.

Don't cry, honey.

Here you go.

It's okay.

- Here you go.

- There you go.

That's what that girl wanted.

Good job, Daddy.

And Mommy can't wait

to get up from here

and take care of you herself.

Mommy needs to

give it some time.

I know.

All right, don't over do it.

You just finished your

last chemo session,

and you need your energy

to celebrate this

little lady coming home.

Hey, baby.

Oh, wow.

Honey, could you

please take her?

Hm?

Take her I can't.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I got you. I got you.

When are, um, Daddy and Brenda

supposed to get here?

Um, they said they should

be here within the hour.

Okay.

Did you make that last

bottle before you left?

I'm doing it right now.

Baby, are you sure you

got it? 'Cause I don't...

Yeah, sure, yeah.

You don't sound too convincing.

I got it.

Okay, okay, Mommy's coming.

Mommy's coming, baby.

Don't cry, honey.

Okay.

Just give Mommy some time, okay?

Mommy time.

Oh, Patricia don't cry, baby.

Okay?

Okay, I'm coming baby.

I'm coming. Just give

me some time, okay?

Okay, I'm coming, baby.

Okay, I'm coming.

Here we go. I don't know if

this is gonna be enough, but...

Tasha!

Between the chemo

and the pregnancy,

she's extremely anemic.

She's losing blood

flow to her brain

and it's caused her

to slip into a coma.

Now, there are different

medicines we are trying,

but a blood transfusion

may have to be performed.

Without proper blood

flow to her brain,

her organs could shut down.

And if that happens, there's

not much that we can do.

Mrs. Jackson needs to fight.

Did you know you were

named after your grandmama?

That's right.

I loved me some her.

She was my bestest friend

in the whole world.

I had just moved

to the neighborhood,

and I didn't have one friend.

For weeks I sat up on my porch

and watched her playing

jump rope across the street.

Finally one day, she

marched over to me

and said, "What's

wrong with you?

Get off that porch right now

and come and play with me."

And from that day forward we

were connected at the hip.

Until the day she passed.

I never heard that story about

how you and Patricia met before.

I didn't hear you come in.

How's Tasha?

Nothing's really changed.

I mean, she had a...

pregnancy,

a mastectomy, chemo,

delivered a baby

safely, all for what?

So she can get laid up in a

hospital fighting for her life?

Anemic?

And we still don't know

if the cancer's gone

into remission yet.

I know.

It's so unfair. I wish

I could go see her.

You can. I can sit with

the baby.

No, she'd want me to stay

here and take care of Patricia.

I was thinking that uh...

we should get married.

I've been waiting a long

time to hear those words, but...

But what?

You're scared

right now, Melvin.

You don't know what's

gonna happen with Tasha,

and you want me to stick around.

That's not it.

Yes, it is.

I left once and you're

thinking maybe I'll leave again.

And you don't like to be alone.

Don't tell me what I'm

feeling and what I'm thinking.

I asked you because I love you.

And yes, I know what I said

to you when I found out

about Tasha was harsh,

and I'm sorry for that.

But I really do love you.

And you've taken care

of my family for me.

You think I do

all this for you?

I take care of all of

you because my best

friend isn't here

to take care of you herself.

I'm taking care of the baby

and trying to make sure

Bernie has a hot meal

when he gets home.

I don't have time to think

about marrying you right now.

Tasha.

Wake up.

Patricia needs you, baby.

I need you.

I'm sorry. It'll be over...

It'll be over soon. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

Oh my God, I'm sorry.

Oh my God. I know.

I know, I'm sorry.

Tasha.

Tasha.

Mama?

I thought I

taught you to fight?

You did.

Well, why aren't you

fighting this, baby?

Mama, I fought the

good fight, but I can't.

- I'm tired.

- Oh, you fight anyway, honey.

You ball your fist up and

you swing at this thing

with everything you got, honey.

- But, I can't--

- No buts.

Don't give up.

You can't give up.

- Mama.

- You got it.

Mama, wait.

Mama, wait don't go.

Mama.

Mama, don't leave

me again, please.

Bernie, wake up. She's awake.

Baby!

I'm gonna

go get a nurse.

Okay. Hey, hey look

at me, hey baby look,

you have a tube in your throat.

Somebody's coming to get it.

Melvin went to go

get someone, okay?

Relax.

They'll take it out, okay.

Go ahead. Make a wish.

All my wishes have come true.

Yes.

Where's that little munchkin?

She's finally asleep, right

as we're about to leave.

Oh, course she is.

You know what, um, I've been

playing with this for a while.

This short hair's

not so bad is it?

I think you look

gorgeous either way.

Gorgeous and cancer-free.

Gorgeous and cancer-free.

Yes.

So what, you're just

gonna eat my cupcake?

You gonna eat this?
