Morning
[the hospital]
*Nathan walked into the room where baby Natalie stayed in. Nancy sat up on the couch and he leaned down to kiss her.*

Nathan: Hey.

Nancy: Hi.

Nathan: You know you don't have to sleep here every night with her, right?

Nancy: Of course I do.

Nathan: At least let me stay here tonight with her.

Nancy: You go home and sleep in our bed tonight. I really don't mind staying here with her. I want to.

Nathan: Maybe we both can.

Nancy: I'm already sleeping on a tiny, hard couch in the hospital. No offense but I really don't need another person on the couch. You can sleep on the floor, though.

Nathan: I'm good. Come on, let's get breakfast.

Nancy: Their breakfast isn't even cooked all the way, it's so gross.

Nathan: No I mean let's go out, have a decent meal. Let's just leave this dark and depressing place for a couple hours. Get some fresh air. Nance, she's fast asleep. It'll be totally fine.

Nancy: Okay. I think there's a "Snooze" right down the street.

Nathan: Now you're talkin.

*He put his arm around her as they walked out.*

Later

[Jo and Tuckers house]

*Jo sat, scrolling on the computer, looking at job openings.*

Jo: This... is... impossible. There are no good jobs out there. None.

Tucker: It's January, the holidays are over, it's the slowest month of the year for most businesses.

Jo: Why did Chuck have to fire me?!

Tucker: Because he's a crabby old man.

Jo: I mean I did mess up, but he showed no mercy. I am unemployed. How depressing.

Tucker: You'll find something else.

Jo: How? I have no school diploma or degree, and I don't have any experience in the real world besides what? Four years at the local grocery store? How can my resume be so depressing?

Tucker: It's not. You should totally add your years of being an influencer and social media personality. You can say you were a content creator, a video editor... you could totally get a job in technology since you have so much experience there.

*Jo was totally tuning him out.*

Jo: When do you work next?

Tucker: Saturday.

Jo: Ask Chuck to hire me again. Tell him he won't regret it this time. Convince him.

Tucker: Jo-

Jo: Or don't help at all, whatever.

*He sighed.*

Tucker: I'll see what I can do.

Jo: Perfection. Now go finish packing.

Tucker: Right.

*He ran into his bedroom.*

Tucker: My buddy George is gonna come by to help me carry boxes down.

Jo: Sounds good.

Tucker: He's got this big house. It'll be good.

Jo: How old is he?
