Okay, uh, will you excuse me?
I just need to make a quick call.
- What's happening?
- I just wanna make sure
you're not gonna end up in the hospital.
- But the baby.
- Everything is fine.
I just need to consult
with my specialist for a moment.
- I want to leave.
- No, no, no, no.
You need to lay still right now, darling.
I don't like this.
I'm scared.
I know, it's a very scary feeling.
But you're in the best of hands,
all right?
- I promise you.
- I don't believe you.
She's been through a lot.
- No.
DR. GREEN: Yes.
Let me go, I'm leaving.
- No, you have to try not to move now.
- No, no, let me go.
- Okay, you can't move now.
- No. No.
- Lance?
- I'm leaving... no.
No, no, no, no!
[SHOUTING]
No! Ty!
Let me go! No!
Ah! Stop!
No!
Oh my God!
- [EMMA SHOUTING]
- Dad, I need you to hold her.

[EMMA GASPING LIGHTLY]
Dad...
Dad?
Dad?
Dad.
- Dad, help.
- Hey, hey, shh.
- Help.
- Emma, hey.
It's okay.
He's gonna come back,
he just had to take care of something.
No.
- Dad, help me!
- Hey, it's okay.
Everyone's just trying to help you.
No, I don't want to...
[GROANING]
Emma.
Dear, you need to settle your body.
All right, listen,
you are very, very close
to losing this baby.
We need to make sure
you don't move too much, all right?
Please.
That's it.
That's a good girl.
You just need to stay calm, all right?
Now, I've explained all this to Dad
while you were asleep,
but I think that it's very important
that you should understand
what's going on
inside your body right now.
You need to listen to her, Em.
You have experienced
a partial placental abruption.
Now, what that means
is the placenta
has begun to detach
from the wall of the uterus,
which can lead to massive hemorrhaging.
You can bleed out.
The baby can die.
Unfortunately, just as a precaution,
we're gonna need you
to be on bedrest for these final days.
Any heavy movement, even walking,
can jeopardize the life
of your daughter.
You mean, I have to...
stay here like this?
We can take these restraints off
as soon as you can prove to us
that you can stay calm.
- I'm calm.
- Okay, dear.
Maybe in a little bit.
[SIGHING]
Ty.
Wait, hey.
Don't... don't leave me like this, please?
Don't.
Please, I just...
I want to call my dad.
Please?
I just wanna call my dad.
- Just rest.
- Just let me call my dad, please.
No. No!
No, please, let me, Doc!

Ty.
Hey.
How you doing?
- Super hungry.
- Good.
That's good, right?
Maybe.
The... the vending machine has Fritos,
the original kind you like.
Know what I'm really craving?
- Hm?
- One of your omelets.
Don's right down the street.
True.
You have your keys.
Okay.
Let me see what I can do.
