00:00 There was a fire at St. Jerome's home for children last night.
00:05 This is so sad.
00:06 I know.
00:07 Those poor kids.
00:09 It's a real shame.
00:11 You and your dad should take some in.
00:13 Some? No. No way.
00:15 Why not?
00:17 I don't like kids, Maggie.
00:19 I don't want to take care of any kids.
00:22 We're not running a hotel.
00:23 Jess.
00:24 And this is the first Christmas without Mom.
00:26 The last thing we need is a kid running around here, going through all of our stuff, eating all of our food, expecting us to entertain it.
00:33 Jess!
00:34 What?
00:36 Meet Abigail and David.
00:40 They'll be staying with us for a while.
00:43 Can you at least try to be more nice?
00:54 I am nice.
00:56 Yeah, but he's like us now.
00:59 He doesn't have a mom anymore.
01:02 It's not a foster kid.
01:04 He has a family.
01:06 And?
01:08 They're letting us become part of it.
01:11 For now.
01:12 Do you always sleep this late?
01:16 No.
01:18 I usually work.
01:20 Can you finish your coffee and get ready at the same time?
01:23 I prefer not to.
01:26 It's okay, David.
01:27 Grown-ups take a lot longer than us to get ready in the morning.
01:31 What's that supposed to mean?
01:32 Oh, nothing.
01:34 Just, you're not young like us.
01:37 You take longer to get your energy.
01:41 Go get your coat on.
01:42 People only want to adopt babies.
01:45 That can't be true.
01:46 Well, the ones who want to adopt older don't want to.
01:49 And I'm not going anywhere without my brother.
01:52 How about we plan a Christmas party at your house for them?
01:55 That's a great idea.
01:57 I don't know.
01:58 I'll help you.
01:59 It'll be fun.
02:00 Maybe I'll swing by your Christmas party.
02:03 Sorry, it's only for the families that are fostering kids from St. Jerome's.
02:07 Oh, my mom's taking a kid.
02:09 I really don't want her to hear that.
02:11 I don't blame you.
02:12 She's bad news.
02:13 I tell you the truth, neither do I.
02:15 No one wants me.
02:17 Don't you get it?
02:18 What do you mean?
02:19 Tonight, after they go to sleep, I'm leaving.
02:22 I'm running away.
02:23 I'll come back when I make tea.
02:24 Don't worry.
02:25 I'm coming with you.
02:26 Maggie!
