Listen, April needs to pay for college, right? He can take care of that for her! Her younger brother? Trent can make sure he gets into the best private school. April is freaked out, flat-out refusing him, though Trent quickly assures her that she doesn't need to be in LOVE with him! He's just asking her to be the vessel for his daughter. Instead, he says that he hopes that April can be the one to give him a daughter. When April asks where Claire is now, Trent dismisses the question. Desperate to rebuild his family, they made an arrangement in hopes of Claire giving him a daughter, but he got two other sons instead. But who's Claire? Trent explains that Claire, the sweet young woman in that drawing, was a wet nurse for his son in that first year, someone he came to know very well in those dark days, and like April, she was someone with great maternal instincts. April is wary, but moved by his plight, and says she's sorry for his loss. Even though he loves his son, he wished he'd been given a daughter because that's what they've always wanted. She did, anyway, but passed away giving Trent their firstborn son. Then one day, they finally got lucky, though the doctor told her not to take the baby to term. He begins to tell her a sad story about how he and his wife had been trying to have a baby for YEARS. April hurries to get out of there, but before she's out the door, Trent blurts, 'Have you ever had someone just DIE on you?' April pauses, painfully remembering her parents' deaths, and remains, letting him have a chance to explain himself. 'Listen, I can explain.' he starts, begging for her to just hear him out. April's startled, demanding to know what the hell is going on in this house? She points to the page on her phone with his wife's obituary - why is he lying?! Trent looks devastated as grief washes over him, though he shakes it off. Trent is looming in the doorway, looking menacing. She hears movement behind her and whirls around. She quickly finds an obituary for his wife. She pulls up a search engine and searches Trent Perry's name. Curious, she takes out her phone and does some research. She's a little unnerved, putting the paper back down on the table. 'What does this mean?' April murmurs to herself as she tries to make sense of the picture. There's another woman off to the far side labeled 'Mom.' She is smiling too but a dark crayon has scribbled her out. There's a man labeled 'Dad' and a woman next to him labeled 'Claire.' They are surrounded by three kids, the boys. As soon as she gazes at it, her brows furrow with confusion. 'Aw, I wonder what they drew.?' she says to herself as she picks up the drawing. She sets the toys aside and smiles to herself. She picks up a few toys then moves to a table where there are crayons and a drawing. TITLE PLATE CUT TO hours later, and April is tidying up the living room after having put the kids to bed. 'One hell of a mother.' he says under his breath. As she does, Trent walks behind her with a longing gaze. Anyway, is April ready to meet the kids? April smiles and says that she is and heads off down the hall where she's directed. He simply says that she won't be coming home. When April asks when the wife will be home, though, Trent gets a bit dodgy. He's just going to be gone for a few hours, so hopefully she won't have issues with them.
Trent seems intrigued and says, well, there's no shame in working for it! April then asks where the kids are and he says they're in the playroom. When it comes to school, she admits that she wants to go into fashion, though money's a bit tight since she didn't get a scholarship. What nationality is she, is she a gymnast, how's school going? April politely answers all the questions the best she can, even if she's uncomfortable. Trent is sympathetic, though he moves onto asking her questions that seem a little beyond small talk. Her parents passed away, so it's all on her now. April moves into the living room with Trent, making some small talk where it's revealed that she's raising her younger brother. April beams, saying that she's pleased to meet him and that she can't wait to meet the boys. However, it looks like the man living in this home is well off because the place is HUGE! She knocks on the door and a pleasant man (Dick Chibbles) greets her. Another job and a few more dollars in her pocket, which she really needs. April (Alina Lopez), a teen babysitter, climbs the front steps of a residential home.
