We need to move you to immediate delivery.

Out at 11:48.
Mel, you're ok, you are all right.
Hello, buddy.
His color is good.
- He's not breathing.
- He isn't breathing.
Why isn't he breathing? What do you mean he's not breathing? It's OK.
It's all right.
What do you mean he's not breathing? You stay with him.
It's all right.
I will.
I will.
- Isis he OK? - He'll be OK.
They're giving him breath.
It's OK.
Buddy, come on! Here we go.
Here's your little boy.
I feel like I've waited my whole life just to be with you.
Hi, Doctor Chase.
You were gone a really long time.
Something wrong? His Edgar scores are normal.
He's healthy and responsive.
Everything seems to be fine.
Doc, is there anything you're not telling us? When we got to him, his pulse was low, his coloring was blue.
Everything pointed to some kind of obstruction or distress.
And then, before he even breathed on his own, his color flooded back.
I've never seen anything like it.
I think somebody's ready to celebrate.
He wants to nurse.
You are not just somebody.
Your name's Aiden.
Honey, my dad's name.
Are you sure.
Aiden Lucas.
He'll celebrate Sam, too, you know.
Two people who brought us this beautiful little life.
Thank you.
- That's normal.
- OK.
Another man's at home And we are gonna protect you.
We will always protect you.
OK.
Aiden Lucas just because it's almost your birthday doesn't mean you can leave your junk at a pile - Aiden, listen to your mother.
- OK.
OK.
I'm coming.
Hey, Aiden, Slow down.
I want a super huge cake with 5 candles and 5 spoons and plates for 5 cakes.
Well, you've got about five minutes to play with your dad before he goes back to the hospital.
Oh, here he comes.
Mom, did you invite dad to my party and Charlie and Rally and Gus? Is this what our lives will become to get the little man? One giant party? Yes.
Dad's gonna kill us! He's gonna kill us! Melinda.
In the bathroom.
Cross match 2 units of pack cells.
Start an I.
V.
lining.
Get some oxygen.
Wait a minute, did you just go to some place or did some one just come and visit us.
It was a nurse She was standing right there.
You know, is it me or this is happening more often these days.
Yeah, I guess in the last couple of years.
- She was asking for 2 units of pack cells.
- Blood.
Does she have anything to do with a ghost you're dealing with right now? - I don't think so.
But it fell from a layer.
- Good.
I hope she won't bother us anymore tonight.
Yeah.
Hopefully not.
Did you check on Aiden? Sound asleep.
Here we go.
Aiden look here is dad.
- Hey daddy.
- Hey birthday boy.
How are you doing? Good to see you, come on, it's so good to see you.
Can I start to slide you down? - Daddy.
No, not again.
- Yeah, please don't.
- Listen.
We are early but can you take a break? - It's a perfect time.
- Come on.
Let's go.
- Okay.
We brought a lot.
So you can share with your friends.
Hey, I'm sorry I am gonna miss your party with your friends but another doctor got sick so It's okay.
The next week on my day off I'm gonna come to school and I'm gonna take you out of there We are gonna go out to some cool wherever you want your choice - Just us guys? - Yeah.
Oh.
Fine if that's the way you two want.
Will Bitecreamers says he doesn't see ghosts.
He said we made them all up.
Did he used to see them? Yeah, not anymore.
Why am I gonna stop seeing them? Do you wanna stop? Did you? Sometimes.
What about you? You know, to tell you the truth I don't remember ever seeing them.
I mean I'm sure I did.
But then our old friend are grown up.
Probably came up to me and told me that I was imagining them.
So they lied to you? No I think they didn't understand.
Like Bitecreamers doesn't understand mommy? Can you still see them? Is that why we have to keep it a secret? Does this feel bad having to keep it a secret? It's fire I put on that ball, that was a bullet.
Does all the ghosts like your job? - Can ghost give birthday presents? - No.
She's the authority.
- Too bad.
- Yeah, too bad.
Is that Ned's girlfriend? No that's Del's daughter she just helping out.
Besides, Ned doesn't really have time for a girlfriend with all the coursework you give him.
I have him for one class.
And by the way I've seen him on campus.
He makes time of plenty.
Yeah.
So does this one.
I thought you were dating Steve.
No, at this point, we are more of just friends.
Okay, so I've met a few more people now that I have all these commercial listings.
I should have got my real estate license.
Is that actual paint on that tail.
No that is velcro.
But it doesn't mean that they won't find a way to take an eye on with it.
Yeah.
It's always a toss up, you know, do you order an icecream truck or an ambulance.
Don't you just miss the days that one couldn't turn over? Yeah.
I definitely missed it today.
Right.
The birthday Curse.
I don't know about that one.
Haven't you ever noticed that every year it's something? Yeah.
I mean last year Aiden fell off that bouncer and need the sticthes.
And before that I walked into that plainglass store Yep.
When he was 2 he was like that crazy high fever.
Oh look at him now.
Aiden's the best one.
He is so much cooler than the other kids.
- Even he can do tricks.
- All right.
Eli.
What the watcher said he has super power They said he would be powerful.
- You guys are talking about Aiden's super power? - Both of you, enough.
Okay.
But aren't you curious? I mean, he's five now.
Look at him, he's just so happy and normal.
Yeah.
You can imagine my concerns.
Cause what mother wouldn't want a happy normal kid.
Yeah.
But this is not about what you want.
He's life, he's gift makes him for a larger purpose.
- Who's gonna help me with the goodie bags? - I'm there.
Come on, you guys.
Hey guys.
Here you go.
Hey, Aiden these goodie bags are for guests.
Happy birthday to you.
Oh thank you.
Aiden loves that.
Happy birthday to Aiden.
It's okay that you don't have a present.
I have one for you.
Aiden, are you ready to come with me now? Aiden, come with me.
- Who are you? - Shouldn't you check up the baby? Aiden, Aiden, baby, what's up? Aiden.
Oh, God! Please! He is on oxygen, getting the fluids.
Squeeze my hand if you still feel ok.
The bandage comes off when the I.
V.
comes out.
Remember squeeze twice when you feel pain anywhere else.
How could she be doing this to him? Look, they'll want to run some tests on him tonight, it'll be ok.
They said his blood pressure is normal.
That his heart is fine.
- Melinda.
- They're not gonna find anything.
- Whare are we? - At the hospital.
Did we come to pick up daddy? You don't remember anything? Did I fall asleep in the car? No, baby.
Come here.
Do they really have to keep him overnight? It's good.
He'll get some sleep.
You know, there's gotta be a medical cause for this.
I am telling you it was a ghost.
I saw her.
You see a lot of ghosts, all right.
And I've seen you experience lot of hideous I'm the only one who experienced.
I know, in your vision, but it's over and you are fine.
So was Aiden.
Physically? I mean, he doesn't remember a thing.
This time, what if it happens to him? I don't know.
I don't know what the ghost does.
Does Aiden? - Mom.
- Hey, sweetheart.
- How are you doing? - Good.
Where is dad? He is doing his rounds.
And then we are going to have breakfast.
- Your dad is gonna take you home.
- Okay.
Then I'm going to figure out what you are sick.
But I'm not sick.
Aiden, do you remember anything about last night before you fell asleep? Did you see someone? - You mean, a ghost? - Yes.
Just a lady.
The one who sings to me.
- Sings to you? - Happy birthday.
- Have you seen her before.
- I see her every year.
- Do you know who she is? - No.
But she always remembers my birthday, always.
"She always remembers my birthday", how long is always to a little kid do you think? I bielieve him.
I mean, all the illness, the accidents, every year on his birthday something bad's happened to Aiden or Jim or me.
I think she's been there.
I mean she's been with us every year.
Yeah, but she's haunting Aiden or the whole family and why only on that day? What? Five second rule? If it is every year, how come he hasn't mentioned her until now? Because he sees ghosts all the time.
Yeah, and they didn't affect him, not like the way this one did.
Maybe she is feeding off his strength, maybe she knows that he is What? That he can see ghosts just like every kid at his age? Yeah, but he isn't like any other kid at his age.
Not according to the watchers and the book.
What about the book? You know, I've been studying the book for years now.
I was practically majoring in it.
When I heard about what happened last night, I went to the page with your name on it.
The one that predicted Aiden's birth.
You know, sometimes the book changes.
It actually changes.
There's been a new entry.
It's about your son.
Ok.
So what does that mean for Aiden? I don't know, but that writing, that is Latin.
It says, when the leaves fall, so will the innocent.
Maybe the ghost is a part of prophecy, maybe she's a part of what's supposed to happen.
What? To Aiden? Is that what we're really talking about right now? Because it not gonna happen.
And I want this ghost to stay away from my son.
Okay.
But we don't even know who she is.
Look, the--the clock stopped right right before Aiden got back last night.
And it happened once before, the night he was born.
Cross match two units of pack cells.
Start an I.
V.
lining.
Get some oxygen.
The patient was in blood.
I think she died at that hospital, the night my son was born, - Does Jim like working here? - Yeah, he loves it.
I'm just glad we didn't have to move for his residency.
But you feel it too, right? Everytime I treat a patient here, as soon as I walk into the building.
Yeah, I feel it.
Lost souls, you know, but it's a hospital, people die here.
You know, I worked at a lot of hospitals.
Something's different about this one.
This is her, Amber Heaton.
She was only 20 when she died at the aortic rupture as a result of child birth.
Don't you dare threathen my son? I don't have to.
It's already done.
He's mine.
How're we doing? Better since.
Look, this might not be the best time to tell you, but or I'll say maybe it's perfect.
Look, remember that I promised Aiden that I would take him anywhere he wanted to go, as I missed his party.
Look, I caved.
I told him that I would take him to Pickwick's Fun Factoria and Bowling Alley.
Pickwick's really? Yeah.
Look, and I told him that it was once in a life trip, and I also told him never to bother you about it again.
Jim, it is fine.
It's your party.
Pickwick's is fine.
Melinda, what's the matter? The ghost, I think she believes that her son's spirit went into Aiden.
What? Like what happened to me? Like a step in? It would explain why she showed me his body at the morgue.
Why she wrote "He is mine" in blood, It's not so impossible really.
I mean, we both had traumatic deliveries.
She died during child birth.
I'm sure if we stay in that morgue a little longer, we would have found out that her son died, too.
Yeah.
But how did he get into Aiden? Think about it.
Aiden was blue, his heart wasn't pumping, We don't know that he didn't died for a split second, but long enough for her son to go in.
Honey you don't believe it, do you? Not in my heart, no.
But it would explain some things, like why doesn't he have super powers, You know, you've just been talking to Eli too much.
You know, I would love him the same.
Either way, he's my son.
But I can't help wondering that maybe he'll be better off if he wasn't.
Why, why, becasue the book says.
When the leaves fall, so will the innocent.
Jim, I'm worried.
What if I don't know what's coming? What if I can't protect him? Hello.
Before I tell you what I got, will you just take a moment to appreciate how good a friend I am? Which you get? The moment I appreciated was a little longer than that.
But ok, I got all the medical records of your ghost.
How? Jim asked all the hospital contacts.
I treat people there.
I have my own system passwords.
I entered a patient name incorrectly, like illegally incorrectly, which is why I thought maybe thank you, you know Ok, thank you.
What did you find out? First of all, it's not a coincidence that the ghost is attached to you.
You are right.
She died in the O.
R.
, the delivery room right next to yours.
Ok, so what happened to Emily's baby? I mean, did he died? Almost.
His blood supply was cut off, and he coded.
But he was revived, no permanent tissue or brain damage.
Thank god.
Ok, so then what? Then what, what? If Amber thinks that her baby died and he came back as Aiden, which obviously he didn't.
So where is he now? With his adopted parents, yes.
Wait, it says in his medical records that he was adopted? They had to take him into custody.
Amber was dead.
Ok, do his parents have names? No nice.
Closed adoption.
Ok, we got it, we got it.
Out at 11:48.
- He's not breathing.
- He isn't breathing.
Why isn't he breathing? What do you mean he's not breathing? Jim.
Stay with him.
What do you mean he's not breathing? It's OK.
Amber, where are you? Amber? We need to talk.
I want my baby.
You tryied to take him away from me.
I'm not trying to take anything away from you.
You told him he doesn't have to see me if doesn't want to.
Oh, when I told him that he didn't have to see ghost? That's what got you upset? I'm his mother.
A child ought to be with his mother.
You really think that you are Aiden's mother.
What makes you so sure? There wasn't any time for pain medication.
So I still feel everything.
I was bleeding so badly.
My baby was dying inside of me.
They were racing to get him out, but even when they got him free, he was too weak.
He wouldn't breath.
I kept trying to tell them to show me my son.
They wouldn't let me speak.
I saw two nurses rushed him away, I couldn't fight any more.
One of the nurses came back.
She said something to the other nurse, I knew that my baby was dead, I kept screaming at them to tell me what had happened.
But they couldn't hear me.
I waited to take him into the light.
But he didn't come.
And then I heard him.
He was alive.
He might have delivered in another form.
But my son was alive, But you didn't see his spirit go into my son's body, did you? I didn't have to.
That child, the one you called Aiden.
He's mine.
If you are sure, then why would you hurt him? Why would you want him to suffer? I would never do that.
But you did.
You give him those symptoms.
No, I didn't.
I was just watching him.
I was just watching my son.
Amber, there is something that you need to know.
Your son's spirit didn't need anther child's body because he didn't die.
But those nurses They were probably talking about you.
That what a tragedy it was that you never got to hold your son.
I don't understand.
If he's still alive, where is he? He was adopted.
That can't be.
It's true and it's really good news.
He went straight to the family that you chose for him.
I choose? It was closed adoption.
That means there was a contract that you probably agreed to in advance.
- No.
That's no possible.
I didn't want that.
- What do you mean? - I can't do this.
I can't do this.
- Yes you can.
You have to.
Is that the adopted father? That message was for the nurses.
You changed your mind about the adoption.
You want to keep your baby.
They can't have him.
It's too late.
Your babe belongs to them now.
He belongs with me.
You're not gonna find them.
And closed adoptions, the birth parents, the adopt parents, - The record just sealed.
- Well, I have to find them.
I mean, you should see how angry she was.
- At you.
- No.
The adopted father, they were arguing.
Arguing, they should never even met.
What were they arguing about? She changed her mind, it sounds like he was threatening her.
You know, maybe he was gonna take her to court.
Yeah, but don't the adoption laws protect the birth mother, it always allows for a change of heart.
I mean, he would not have a leg to stand on it.
- Unless.
- Unless he has his own right.
Parental rights, like the kind you would get if you were the blood father.
Adopting your own kid, I mean, why would he do that? She was 20 years old.
He looked like he was in his late 30s and I guess married.
Yeah, how do they get involved? The girl's sealbag said she was an intern in Ufland Consulting.
There he is.
The guy she was arguing with, Dale Harmon.
- Hello.
- Hi.
My name is Melinda Gordon.
Listen, Dale's son goes to school with mine, does he have a minute? Oh, I'm sorry.
He's not here.
He's at his son's birthday party.
Oh, right, yeah, he's at Tyer's birthday party, of course.
- Tell him that Aiden is a guest.
- Right.
Right.
You know, we are supposed to be there.
But with lost the invite.
Can you tell me where the party is? Thank you.
What? What's wrong? They are at Pickwick's.
- So.
- That's where Jim took Aiden.
They're at the same place.
I'm so sorry, but just once, can you just watch the store? Yes, of course.
I still have my key.
But relax, Mel, that's a coincidence.
Yeah, I used to believe in conincidence.
What happened? I red a book that change my mind.
I thought we shouldn't go bowling.
You wanna tell me how you got so good on air hocky all of a sudden.
Sneaking down here with your mother, correct? Mom hates this place, you know that.
Dad, did you play your holidays? Yeah, I did.
Just about.
How hungry are you? - How about some birthday pizza.
How do you feel like that? - Yeah.
What's your name? Do you know who I am? You should know who I am.
Tylar, don't go too far.
- Leave me alone.
- Hey, what do you want on your pizza.
What is it? Ok, there you go.
Why don't you go barn some quaters while I wait for your food.
But stay while I can see you come out.
Ok.
Hi, honey , how are you doing? The couple that adopted the girl's child are there.
- They're here? - I need you to talk to them for me.
Keep an eye on their son until I can get there.
How can I tell who they are? Yeah, I'll describe the dad.
The father's tall, brown hair and the son is Aiden's age.
Why are you following me? Leave me alone.
Why won't you leave me alone? I thought you were dead.
Don't you know me? I'm your mommy.
No, you're not.
Who said that, sweet heart? Go away.
I don't like you.
Please don't speak to me that way.
He doesn't understand.
He's just scared.
Please, stop scaring him.
I'm his mother.
No, you are not.
They took him away from me.
Now, he hates me.
They made hime hate me.
I won't let them take him.
I won't let them take him.
Mel, hi, this is Dale and his wife Emily.
Hi, I'm She is not here.
Where's the son? I don't know, let's just say we can't find him.
Ok, what about Aiden? No, no.
It's all right.
He's right there by the I won't let them take him.
I won't let them take him.
I won't let them take him.
Get off him.
He is my son, don't take him away from me.
I swear he was right by the machine.
Ok.
Just check the kitchen.
All right, we'll take the lance and I'm gonna go this way.
Melinda.
Where are they? I'm afraid it's too late, you can't help them.
Are they in danger? Aiden isn't if he stays where he is.
What about Tyler? Aiden, please hear me.
Just stay where you are.
Ok, and make sure that Tyler stays with you.
- Come here.
- No, I'm scared.
You are not safe there.
How do you know? I don't know.
I just know.
Quick.
Grab my hand.
I got you.
- Tyler.
- Aiden.
Mommy.
Honey, are you ok? - Mommy.
- Aiden.
Tyler, come here.
Hold on, ok? Just hold on.
- Are you ok? - Yeah, I'm fine.
I mean, Tyler stays with me.
Like I was supposed to.
Who told you that you're supposed to? I don't know.
Did I make a mistake? No.
No, baby.
You did great.
- Are you OK? - Yeah.
- Ok, good.
-I'm Ok.
Mom.
How are you doing? Still a little rattled.
- Do you need decaf? - I think so.
All the boys seem ok.
Thanks.
I think Amber is ready to talk now.
Why don't I give your husband a hand with the boys.
I'm sorry about what I did in that place.
I didn't know I could do that.
She's sorry about what happened with the boys.
She didn't know her own strength.
Yeah.
Well, I'm I'm sorry, too.
Can you tell her why? I'm not pride of what I did back then.
It was a hard time for me and Emily, but that's no excuse.
So then what happened? They were trying really hard to get pregnant.
But it wasn't working out.
My wife and I were having problems.
I stayed late at the office and Amber was always right there just ready to listen.
It was a party to celebrete landing a new client.
There was some office party.
I know it's a cliche.
I never thought I could do something like that.
Is was one time, one time and I was pregnant.
I knew I had to have the baby, but I was 20 years old.
I thought I had my whole life in front of me.
Emily, she we really, really wanted children.
And we've already decided to adopt when Amber came to me pregnant.
So you thought a closed adoption would be prefect because then your baby would have a home.
Without anger or resentment and his wife will never know.
And then she changed her mind.
At the last moment I thought I could do it.
I can raise my son.
I didn't know what would happen.
I didn't know how she'd treat him if she ever knew the truth.
- Is she here? - Yeah.
It's Ok, Emily knows everything.
I told her that night.
When man you love, trusted, comes to you with something like this.
It could turn your heart to stone.
Unless you're holding a baby in your arms.
Watching him grow, knowing he needs you, He needs love.
He needed us.
Because Amber who left him and gave him my foster home.
I saw that before, but I felt so alone.
So scared for him.
But I know you are Ok now.
Aren't you, sweetheart? Tell them to be good to him.
To keep loving him.
She wants you to love him.
The way that she would have.
We will.
I think we always have.
And one day he was ready, I will tell him all about you.
She's gone.
I got it.
You catch me.
- Buy.
- Buy.
I've got company.
I will be inside.
OK.
So how long have you known? Konwn what? How long have you known what my son can do? You mean what you two can do together? Look, we're connected.
I've always known that somehow, but the visions I've had they've been from Aiden? How do they come to him? I mean, is he is he a sensitive? The words you're looking for is empath.
He can share other people's feelings.
Their experiences.
That's why he's sick and he gets better, Why he turned blue and couldn't talk.
It's like he's experencing something that somebody else has already been through somehow.
Like the day he was born? And every birthday since.
Her symptoms.
She relived them and he relived them right along with her.
And you relived some of the tell through him.
Tea.
You want a refill? I would love whisky sour.
Sometimes I just wish you were less of a watcher and more of a talker.
I mean, people almost got hurt.
That's how we learn.
All of us living and dead.
And besides, it's the rules.
God, you have an answer for everything.
If I did, there'll be no need for us to watch with there.
What are we gonna tell him? Nothing.
Not about this.
You don't want him to know he's connected to you.
No, if he did then he'd know that his dreams aren't really his.
I want his dreams to belong to him like any little boy.
I heard your voices.
I thought you were in my dream.
No.
But you're our dream.
I need your help.
You'v got to find that book.
That book It's special.
It shouldn't end up in the wrong hands.
The book is the one come and threat.
I mean, my dreams, the thief.
The book is the key to everything.
The book is always changeing.
New things are written.
Old things are erased.
I know this is about our baby, I just kown it.
- Will my son be able to do what I do? - No.
He'll be able to do much, much more.
I looked at the book last night And there was something really scary.
September 25th.
My due date.
Ok.
You've changed the sheets.
Yeah.
It gets dusty.
In one day? I think you need to get something to eat.
Ok.
Thank you, for painting the room again.
You are right, honey.
Bule is better, calmer.
I miss the yellow.
Don't, you're perfect.
It's perfect.
I'm just - I'm grumpy.
- No.
Moody! That's what I am.
I am just a big crazy pregnant moody lady.
- And you have exams.
- It's nothing, it's fine.
No, med school is nothing? It's huge.
Ok! And then you cooked, and you exchanged to correct the new one.
So much better.
By the way, I mean you've done such you couldn't have got my car fix? I remember they had to order the part.
Yeah, but did you tell them that we are stuck in your truck? Your ancient unreliable truck? I mean, did you tell them that this is an emergency? - What emergency? - This could be an emergency.
Look, I know that it's your due that the watchers predicted.
But you're not ganna have a baby tonight, 'cuz it's after 8.
It's the Book of Changes.
Ok, not the watchers, and it's been right about everything else.
Ok.
Do you really want it to be right about this.
I wanna be prepared.
- Easy.
- I got.
Let's go.
Hi, how are you holding up? Sixteen laps.
No progress.
- I can't do this.
I can't do this.
- Yes you can.
You have to.
Ok, you're gonna be ok.
Come on! Hey, honey.
The doctor is here.
We should go.
Thank you for not treating me like I'm crazy.
It's just the feeling, you know.
Doesn't sound like you're in labor.
But we'll just make sure everything is ok.
Ok.
Your baby is showing signs of fetal distress.
We need to move you to immediate delivery.
Get Dr.
Glasson.
Call the OR.
- Jim what's happening? - They have to get the baby out.
Something's obstructing the blood supply, could be the cord.
Is it ok? Is everything ok? Ok, was it ok? Jim? You need to do a C-section right now.
You're ganna be ok, Melinda.
I'm gonna be with you.
- I'll be right with you, I promise.
- Jim.
- Jim, I'm scared.
- Honey, I'm right here.
It will be ok.
You'll feel pressure, ok? You're doing great.
Here we go.
Here he comes.
We got you, little guy.
It's almost there.
This color is good.
Tell me what's gonna happen.
Is he gonna be ok? Is he gonna be born this day like the book said because that's his fate? Fate.
You made this happen, You end the book.
So that's how it works? Fate and freewill working together? I hope so, I'd really like to see your child live.
Ok, we got it, we got it.
Out at 11:48.
Mel, you're ok, you are all right.
Hello, buddy.
His color is good.
- He's not breathing.
- He isn't breathing.
Why isn't he breathing? What do you mean he's not breathing? It's OK.
It's all right.
What do you mean he's not breathing? You stay with him.
It's all right.
I will.
I will.
- Isis he OK? - He'll be OK.
They're giving him breath.
It's OK.
Buddy, come on! Here we go.
Here's your little boy.
I feel like I've waited my whole life just to be with you.
Hi, Doctor Chase.
You were gone a really long time.
Something wrong? His Edgar scores are normal.
He's healthy and responsive.
Everything seems to be fine.
Doc, is there anything you're not telling us? When we got to him, his pulse was low, his coloring was blue.
Everything pointed to some kind of obstruction or distress.
And then, before he even breathed on his own, his color flooded back.
I've never seen anything like it.
I think somebody's ready to celebrate.
He wants to nurse.
You are not just somebody.
Your name's Aiden.
Honey, my dad's name.
Are you sure.
Aiden Lucas.
He'll celebrate Sam, too, you know.
Two people who brought us this beautiful little life.
Thank you.
- That's normal.
- OK.
Another man's at home And we are gonna protect you.
We will always protect you.
OK.
Aiden Lucas just because it's almost your birthday doesn't mean you can leave your junk at a pile - Aiden, listen to your mother.
- OK.
OK.
I'm coming.
Hey, Aiden, Slow down.
I want a super huge cake with 5 candles and 5 spoons and plates for 5 cakes.
Well, you've got about five minutes to play with your dad before he goes back to the hospital.
Oh, here he comes.
Mom, did you invite dad to my party and Charlie and Rally and Gus? Is this what our lives will become to get the little man? One giant party? Yes.
Dad's gonna kill us! He's gonna kill us! Melinda.
In the bathroom.
Cross match 2 units of pack cells.
Start an I.
V.
lining.
Get some oxygen.
Wait a minute, did you just go to some place or did some one just come and visit us.
It was a nurse She was standing right there.
You know, is it me or this is happening more often these days.
Yeah, I guess in the last couple of years.
- She was asking for 2 units of pack cells.
- Blood.
Does she have anything to do with a ghost you're dealing with right now? - I don't think so.
But it fell from a layer.
- Good.
I hope she won't bother us anymore tonight.
Yeah.
Hopefully not.
Did you check on Aiden? Sound asleep.
Here we go.
Aiden look here is dad.
- Hey daddy.
- Hey birthday boy.
How are you doing? Good to see you, come on, it's so good to see you.
Can I start to slide you down? - Daddy.
No, not again.
- Yeah, please don't.
- Listen.
We are early but can you take a break? - It's a perfect time.
- Come on.
Let's go.
- Okay.
We brought a lot.
So you can share with your friends.
Hey, I'm sorry I am gonna miss your party with your friends but another doctor got sick so It's okay.
The next week on my day off I'm gonna come to school and I'm gonna take you out of there We are gonna go out to some cool wherever you want your choice - Just us guys? - Yeah.
Oh.
Fine if that's the way you two want.
Will Bitecreamers says he doesn't see ghosts.
He said we made them all up.
Did he used to see them? Yeah, not anymore.
Why am I gonna stop seeing them? Do you wanna stop? Did you? Sometimes.
What about you? You know, to tell you the truth I don't remember ever seeing them.
I mean I'm sure I did.
But then our old friend are grown up.
Probably came up to me and told me that I was imagining them.
So they lied to you? No I think they didn't understand.
Like Bitecreamers doesn't understand mommy? Can you still see them? Is that why we have to keep it a secret? Does this feel bad having to keep it a secret? It's fire I put on that ball, that was a bullet.
Does all the ghosts like your job? - Can ghost give birthday presents? - No.
She's the authority.
- Too bad.
- Yeah, too bad.
Is that Ned's girlfriend? No that's Del's daughter she just helping out.
Besides, Ned doesn't really have time for a girlfriend with all the coursework you give him.
I have him for one class.
And by the way I've seen him on campus.
He makes time of plenty.
Yeah.
So does this one.
I thought you were dating Steve.
No, at this point, we are more of just friends.
Okay, so I've met a few more people now that I have all these commercial listings.
I should have got my real estate license.
Is that actual paint on that tail.
No that is velcro.
But it doesn't mean that they won't find a way to take an eye on with it.
Yeah.
It's always a toss up, you know, do you order an icecream truck or an ambulance.
Don't you just miss the days that one couldn't turn over? Yeah.
I definitely missed it today.
Right.
The birthday Curse.
I don't know about that one.
Haven't you ever noticed that every year it's something? Yeah.
I mean last year Aiden fell off that bouncer and need the sticthes.
And before that I walked into that plainglass store Yep.
When he was 2 he was like that crazy high fever.
Oh look at him now.
Aiden's the best one.
He is so much cooler than the other kids.
- Even he can do tricks.
- All right.
Eli.
What the watcher said he has super power They said he would be powerful.
- You guys are talking about Aiden's super power? - Both of you, enough.
Okay.
But aren't you curious? I mean, he's five now.
Look at him, he's just so happy and normal.
Yeah.
You can imagine my concerns.
Cause what mother wouldn't want a happy normal kid.
Yeah.
But this is not about what you want.
He's life, he's gift makes him for a larger purpose.
- Who's gonna help me with the goodie bags? - I'm there.
Come on, you guys.
Hey guys.
Here you go.
Hey, Aiden these goodie bags are for guests.
Happy birthday to you.
Oh thank you.
Aiden loves that.
Happy birthday to Aiden.
It's okay that you don't have a present.
I have one for you.
Aiden, are you ready to come with me now? Aiden, come with me.
- Who are you? - Shouldn't you check up the baby? Aiden, Aiden, baby, what's up? Aiden.
Oh, God! Please! He is on oxygen, getting the fluids.
Squeeze my hand if you still feel ok.
The bandage comes off when the I.
V.
comes out.
Remember squeeze twice when you feel pain anywhere else.
How could she be doing this to him? Look, they'll want to run some tests on him tonight, it'll be ok.
They said his blood pressure is normal.
That his heart is fine.
- Melinda.
- They're not gonna find anything.
- Whare are we? - At the hospital.
Did we come to pick up daddy? You don't remember anything? Did I fall asleep in the car? No, baby.
Come here.
Do they really have to keep him overnight? It's good.
He'll get some sleep.
You know, there's gotta be a medical cause for this.
I am telling you it was a ghost.
I saw her.
You see a lot of ghosts, all right.
And I've seen you experience lot of hideous I'm the only one who experienced.
I know, in your vision, but it's over and you are fine.
So was Aiden.
Physically? I mean, he doesn't remember a thing.
This time, what if it happens to him? I don't know.
I don't know what the ghost does.
Does Aiden? - Mom.
- Hey, sweetheart.
- How are you doing? - Good.
Where is dad? He is doing his rounds.
And then we are going to have breakfast.
- Your dad is gonna take you home.
- Okay.
Then I'm going to figure out what you are sick.
But I'm not sick.
Aiden, do you remember anything about last night before you fell asleep? Did you see someone? - You mean, a ghost? - Yes.
Just a lady.
The one who sings to me.
- Sings to you? - Happy birthday.
- Have you seen her before.
- I see her every year.
- Do you know who she is? - No.
But she always remembers my birthday, always.
"She always remembers my birthday", how long is always to a little kid do you think? I bielieve him.
I mean, all the illness, the accidents, every year on his birthday something bad's happened to Aiden or Jim or me.
I think she's been there.
I mean she's been with us every year.
Yeah, but she's haunting Aiden or the whole family and why only on that day? What? Five second rule? If it is every year, how come he hasn't mentioned her until now? Because he sees ghosts all the time.
Yeah, and they didn't affect him, not like the way this one did.
Maybe she is feeding off his strength, maybe she knows that he is What? That he can see ghosts just like every kid at his age? Yeah, but he isn't like any other kid at his age.
Not according to the watchers and the book.
What about the book? You know, I've been studying the book for years now.
I was practically majoring in it.
When I heard about what happened last night, I went to the page with your name on it.
The one that predicted Aiden's birth.
You know, sometimes the book changes.
It actually changes.
There's been a new entry.
It's about your son.
Ok.
So what does that mean for Aiden? I don't know, but that writing, that is Latin.
It says, when the leaves fall, so will the innocent.
Maybe the ghost is a part of prophecy, maybe she's a part of what's supposed to happen.
What? To Aiden? Is that what we're really talking about right now? Because it not gonna happen.
And I want this ghost to stay away from my son.
Okay.
But we don't even know who she is.
Look, the--the clock stopped right right before Aiden got back last night.
And it happened once before, the night he was born.
Cross match two units of pack cells.
Start an I.
V.
lining.
Get some oxygen.
The patient was in blood.
I think she died at that hospital, the night my son was born, - Does Jim like working here? - Yeah, he loves it.
I'm just glad we didn't have to move for his residency.
But you feel it too, right? Everytime I treat a patient here, as soon as I walk into the building.
Yeah, I feel it.
Lost souls, you know, but it's a hospital, people die here.
You know, I worked at a lot of hospitals.
Something's different about this one.
This is her, Amber Heaton.
She was only 20 when she died at the aortic rupture as a result of child birth.
Don't you dare threathen my son? I don't have to.
It's already done.
He's mine.
How're we doing? Better since.
Look, this might not be the best time to tell you, but or I'll say maybe it's perfect.
Look, remember that I promised Aiden that I would take him anywhere he wanted to go, as I missed his party.
Look, I caved.
I told him that I would take him to Pickwick's Fun Factoria and Bowling Alley.
Pickwick's really? Yeah.
Look, and I told him that it was once in a life trip, and I also told him never to bother you about it again.
Jim, it is fine.
It's your party.
Pickwick's is fine.
Melinda, what's the matter? The ghost, I think she believes that her son's spirit went into Aiden.
What? Like what happened to me? Like a step in? It would explain why she showed me his body at the morgue.
Why she wrote "He is mine" in blood, It's not so impossible really.
I mean, we both had traumatic deliveries.
She died during child birth.
I'm sure if we stay in that morgue a little longer, we would have found out that her son died, too.
Yeah.
But how did he get into Aiden? Think about it.
Aiden was blue, his heart wasn't pumping, We don't know that he didn't died for a split second, but long enough for her son to go in.
Honey you don't believe it, do you? Not in my heart, no.
But it would explain some things, like why doesn't he have super powers, You know, you've just been talking to Eli too much.
You know, I would love him the same.
Either way, he's my son.
But I can't help wondering that maybe he'll be better off if he wasn't.
Why, why, becasue the book says.
When the leaves fall, so will the innocent.
Jim, I'm worried.
What if I don't know what's coming? What if I can't protect him? Hello.
Before I tell you what I got, will you just take a moment to appreciate how good a friend I am? Which you get? The moment I appreciated was a little longer than that.
But ok, I got all the medical records of your ghost.
How? Jim asked all the hospital contacts.
I treat people there.
I have my own system passwords.
I entered a patient name incorrectly, like illegally incorrectly, which is why I thought maybe thank you, you know Ok, thank you.
What did you find out? First of all, it's not a coincidence that the ghost is attached to you.
You are right.
She died in the O.
R.
, the delivery room right next to yours.
Ok, so what happened to Emily's baby? I mean, did he died? Almost.
His blood supply was cut off, and he coded.
But he was revived, no permanent tissue or brain damage.
Thank god.
Ok, so then what? Then what, what? If Amber thinks that her baby died and he came back as Aiden, which obviously he didn't.
So where is he now? With his adopted parents, yes.
Wait, it says in his medical records that he was adopted? They had to take him into custody.
Amber was dead.
Ok, do his parents have names? No nice.
Closed adoption.
Ok, we got it, we got it.
Out at 11:48.
- He's not breathing.
- He isn't breathing.
Why isn't he breathing? What do you mean he's not breathing? Jim.
Stay with him.
What do you mean he's not breathing? It's OK.
Amber, where are you? Amber? We need to talk.
I want my baby.
You tryied to take him away from me.
I'm not trying to take anything away from you.
You told him he doesn't have to see me if doesn't want to.
Oh, when I told him that he didn't have to see ghost? That's what got you upset? I'm his mother.
A child ought to be with his mother.
You really think that you are Aiden's mother.
What makes you so sure? There wasn't any time for pain medication.
So I still feel everything.
I was bleeding so badly.
My baby was dying inside of me.
They were racing to get him out, but even when they got him free, he was too weak.
He wouldn't breath.
I kept trying to tell them to show me my son.
They wouldn't let me speak.
I saw two nurses rushed him away, I couldn't fight any more.
One of the nurses came back.
She said something to the other nurse, I knew that my baby was dead, I kept screaming at them to tell me what had happened.
But they couldn't hear me.
I waited to take him into the light.
But he didn't come.
And then I heard him.
He was alive.
He might have delivered in another form.
But my son was alive, But you didn't see his spirit go into my son's body, did you? I didn't have to.
That child, the one you called Aiden.
He's mine.
If you are sure, then why would you hurt him? Why would you want him to suffer? I would never do that.
But you did.
You give him those symptoms.
No, I didn't.
I was just watching him.
I was just watching my son.
Amber, there is something that you need to know.
Your son's spirit didn't need anther child's body because he didn't die.
But those nurses They were probably talking about you.
That what a tragedy it was that you never got to hold your son.
I don't understand.
If he's still alive, where is he? He was adopted.
That can't be.
It's true and it's really good news.
He went straight to the family that you chose for him.
I choose? It was closed adoption.
That means there was a contract that you probably agreed to in advance.
- No.
That's no possible.
I didn't want that.
- What do you mean? - I can't do this.
I can't do this.
- Yes you can.
You have to.
Is that the adopted father? That message was for the nurses.
You changed your mind about the adoption.
You want to keep your baby.
They can't have him.
It's too late.
Your babe belongs to them now.
He belongs with me.
You're not gonna find them.
And closed adoptions, the birth parents, the adopt parents, - The record just sealed.
- Well, I have to find them.
I mean, you should see how angry she was.
- At you.
- No.
The adopted father, they were arguing.
Arguing, they should never even met.
What were they arguing about? She changed her mind, it sounds like he was threatening her.
You know, maybe he was gonna take her to court.
Yeah, but don't the adoption laws protect the birth mother, it always allows for a change of heart.
I mean, he would not have a leg to stand on it.
- Unless.
- Unless he has his own right.
Parental rights, like the kind you would get if you were the blood father.
Adopting your own kid, I mean, why would he do that? She was 20 years old.
He looked like he was in his late 30s and I guess married.
Yeah, how do they get involved? The girl's sealbag said she was an intern in Ufland Consulting.
There he is.
The guy she was arguing with, Dale Harmon.
- Hello.
- Hi.
My name is Melinda Gordon.
Listen, Dale's son goes to school with mine, does he have a minute? Oh, I'm sorry.
He's not here.
He's at his son's birthday party.
Oh, right, yeah, he's at Tyer's birthday party, of course.
- Tell him that Aiden is a guest.
- Right.
Right.
You know, we are supposed to be there.
But with lost the invite.
Can you tell me where the party is? Thank you.
What? What's wrong? They are at Pickwick's.
- So.
- That's where Jim took Aiden.
They're at the same place.
I'm so sorry, but just once, can you just watch the store? Yes, of course.
I still have my key.
But relax, Mel, that's a coincidence.
Yeah, I used to believe in conincidence.
What happened? I red a book that change my mind.
I thought we shouldn't go bowling.
You wanna tell me how you got so good on air hocky all of a sudden.
Sneaking down here with your mother, correct? Mom hates this place, you know that.
Dad, did you play your holidays? Yeah, I did.
Just about.
How hungry are you? - How about some birthday pizza.
How do you feel like that? - Yeah.
What's your name? Do you know who I am? You should know who I am.
Tylar, don't go too far.
- Leave me alone.
- Hey, what do you want on your pizza.
What is it? Ok, there you go.
Why don't you go barn some quaters while I wait for your food.
But stay while I can see you come out.
Ok.
Hi, honey , how are you doing? The couple that adopted the girl's child are there.
- They're here? - I need you to talk to them for me.
Keep an eye on their son until I can get there.
How can I tell who they are? Yeah, I'll describe the dad.
The father's tall, brown hair and the son is Aiden's age.
Why are you following me? Leave me alone.
Why won't you leave me alone? I thought you were dead.
Don't you know me? I'm your mommy.
No, you're not.
Who said that, sweet heart? Go away.
I don't like you.
Please don't speak to me that way.
He doesn't understand.
He's just scared.
Please, stop scaring him.
I'm his mother.
No, you are not.
They took him away from me.
Now, he hates me.
They made hime hate me.
I won't let them take him.
I won't let them take him.
Mel, hi, this is Dale and his wife Emily.
Hi, I'm She is not here.
Where's the son? I don't know, let's just say we can't find him.
Ok, what about Aiden? No, no.
It's all right.
He's right there by the I won't let them take him.
I won't let them take him.
I won't let them take him.
Get off him.
He is my son, don't take him away from me.
I swear he was right by the machine.
Ok.
Just check the kitchen.
All right, we'll take the lance and I'm gonna go this way.
Melinda.
Where are they? I'm afraid it's too late, you can't help them.
Are they in danger? Aiden isn't if he stays where he is.
What about Tyler? Aiden, please hear me.
Just stay where you are.
Ok, and make sure that Tyler stays with you.
- Come here.
- No, I'm scared.
You are not safe there.
How do you know? I don't know.
I just know.
Quick.
Grab my hand.
I got you.
- Tyler.
- Aiden.
Mommy.
Honey, are you ok? - Mommy.
- Aiden.
Tyler, come here.
Hold on, ok? Just hold on.
- Are you ok? - Yeah, I'm fine.
I mean, Tyler stays with me.
Like I was supposed to.
Who told you that you're supposed to? I don't know.
Did I make a mistake? No.
No, baby.
You did great.
- Are you OK? - Yeah.
- Ok, good.
-I'm Ok.
Mom.
How are you doing? Still a little rattled.
- Do you need decaf? - I think so.
All the boys seem ok.
Thanks.
I think Amber is ready to talk now.
Why don't I give your husband a hand with the boys.
I'm sorry about what I did in that place.
I didn't know I could do that.
She's sorry about what happened with the boys.
She didn't know her own strength.
Yeah.
Well, I'm I'm sorry, too.
Can you tell her why? I'm not pride of what I did back then.
It was a hard time for me and Emily, but that's no excuse.
So then what happened? They were trying really hard to get pregnant.
But it wasn't working out.
My wife and I were having problems.
I stayed late at the office and Amber was always right there just ready to listen.
It was a party to celebrete landing a new client.
There was some office party.
I know it's a cliche.
I never thought I could do something like that.
Is was one time, one time and I was pregnant.
I knew I had to have the baby, but I was 20 years old.
I thought I had my whole life in front of me.
Emily, she we really, really wanted children.
And we've already decided to adopt when Amber came to me pregnant.
So you thought a closed adoption would be prefect because then your baby would have a home.
Without anger or resentment and his wife will never know.
And then she changed her mind.
At the last moment I thought I could do it.
I can raise my son.
I didn't know what would happen.
I didn't know how she'd treat him if she ever knew the truth.
- Is she here? - Yeah.
It's Ok, Emily knows everything.
I told her that night.
When man you love, trusted, comes to you with something like this.
It could turn your heart to stone.
Unless you're holding a baby in your arms.
Watching him grow, knowing he needs you, He needs love.
He needed us.
Because Amber who left him and gave him my foster home.
I saw that before, but I felt so alone.
So scared for him.
But I know you are Ok now.
Aren't you, sweetheart? Tell them to be good to him.
To keep loving him.
She wants you to love him.
The way that she would have.
We will.
I think we always have.
And one day he was ready, I will tell him all about you.
She's gone.
I got it.
You catch me.
- Buy.
- Buy.
I've got company.
I will be inside.
OK.
So how long have you known? Konwn what? How long have you known what my son can do? You mean what you two can do together? Look, we're connected.
I've always known that somehow, but the visions I've had they've been from Aiden? How do they come to him? I mean, is he is he a sensitive? The words you're looking for is empath.
He can share other people's feelings.
Their experiences.
That's why he's sick and he gets better, Why he turned blue and couldn't talk.
It's like he's experencing something that somebody else has already been through somehow.
Like the day he was born? And every birthday since.
Her symptoms.
She relived them and he relived them right along with her.
And you relived some of the tell through him.
Tea.
You want a refill? I would love whisky sour.
Sometimes I just wish you were less of a watcher and more of a talker.
I mean, people almost got hurt.
That's how we learn.
All of us living and dead.
And besides, it's the rules.
God, you have an answer for everything.
If I did, there'll be no need for us to watch with there.
What are we gonna tell him? Nothing.
Not about this.
You don't want him to know he's connected to you.
No, if he did then he'd know that his dreams aren't really his.
I want his dreams to belong to him like any little boy.
I heard your voices.
I thought you were in my dream.
No.
But you're our dream.
