Mom, what are you doing? What's going on? Naomi, what is going on? I need you to give Maya an abortion. What? Nay. Mom, no, I don't want an abortion. I don't care what you want. But mom! Give her an abortion. So, we're here. Okay. Is everybody, uh, sure about this? Just do it. The entire procedure won't take long. I'm going to use this instrument attached to suction to remove the pregnancy. You'll have some cramping for a few seconds. You understand? Maya, it's really important that you tell me whether or not you understand. No, I don't understand. Okay. Ask me anything you want to know. I'm 15 years old. Which is why you shouldn't have been having sex in the first place, because you are pregnant. Maya, I know this is hard. An unimaginably difficult grown-up decision, but you did a grown-up thing. So now, it doesn't matter what I believe or what your mother believes. What matters is what you believe. It's up to you. It's the law, Maya. Your body. Your choice. I didn't do it. What? I'm not having an abortion. Mom! Stop! What are you doing? Help me! Oh! Come in, you better be taking pictures! Is that what you want? You have no idea what you want. Look at that one. Look at that! But look at that. Mom! Mom! Mommy I can I sorry I can Nate this isn the end of the world You will get past this I hear you. Don't do this. You don't want to turn your back on your child. You just shut up. Just for once. Just shut up. For a minute. For now. Shut up. What are we doing here, Dink? I could just cut to the chase. And if I'm going to be a good father, then I need to learn to stand up to you and say what's on my mind. We've talked, Maya and me. We want to get married, sir. I've come to ask for your daughter's hand in marriage. You know me? I need to talk to you. Dink came over to see me. I don't want to talk about anything with the name of Dink. Well, we need to talk because Dink, he wants to marry Maya. I'm sorry, I have a patient. We need to figure out what's going on with our daughter who is pregnant, in love, and wants to get married. I can't. Not now. I've been doing the same thing ever since Dink mentioned the word marriage. Corinne Davis. Sam Bennett. Is Maya's mother going to join us? Ah, no. She's tied up. I know this is all awkward and awful, but she's lovely, your daughter. Funny. I do love seeing them together. You know Maya. All the time she spends at her house. They came to me after you said no, and we talked. And I have a guest house in the back. It's not huge, but they could move in there. I work during the week. We're going to have to figure out some kind of daycare. Between the three of us and you and your, well, Maya's mother, and whatever you're willing to do, I think that we can try to help them. So then you're behind this. You're behind two 15-year-olds getting married and playing house. Thank you.
