When John's happy-hour habits threaten their chances of conceiving, Gwen must confront him with a painful truth that could either save their relationship or shatter their dreams of a family forever.

SYNOPSIS:

Gwen discovers she's pregnant and is filled with joy after waiting so long, finally feeling complete. She believes John has been moderating his drinking, inspired by their future family. Gwen plans a special dinner to tell John the news. When he arrives seemingly sober, perhaps a little tired, but genuinely happy to see her. The announcement is met with tears of joy and promises of a brighter future. They share a romantic evening, reinforcing the image of a loving, supportive partner.

Montages of Gwen's pregnancy and John being attentive and caring begins. There might be subtle hints of tension or John's drinking, but Gwen dismisses them or rationalizes them. She’s blinded by her happiness and her desire to believe in him. John is present, supportive, and overwhelmed with emotion when the baby is born. He cradles the child, promising to be a good father, but promises sometimes get broken.
