♪

I promised I'd say something witty right now.

If I wasn't so stunned.

You kind of just did.

[Tasha laughs]

♪

Will you do me the honor of being my wife?

Yes!

♪

I don't want to do this.

It's the right thing to do.

You don't think it's too much?

It's the most highly effective option.

Yes, I know the statistics, Alexander.

I am a doctor after all.

This just feels unnecessary.

[Jan] Now...

Inhale slowly through your nose.

Pause.

[Jan] And exhale slowly through your mouth.

Follow me.

[everyone in room - big inhale]

[everyone in room - big exhale]

Very good, everyone!

[King Edward on tablet] Oh for heaven's sake Blevins!

Hold the camera steady!

Yes, sir. Very good, sir. Sorry.

[King Edward] You're making me seasick.

[Tasha struggles]

[King Edward } Very nice form, Tasha!

It just feels a little silly, Your Majesty.

But of course it's not silly.

This is for the future King of San Savarre, after all.

King or Queen.

Yes. We could have a boy or girl, Father.

You know we'd like to keep it a surprise.

Oh I can tell you most assuredly it will be a King.

The Cavalieri line has only ever produced male heirs.

But seriously, what if we have a girl?

You won't.

You realize there's a 50 percent chance we'll have a girl.

And you must realize that I am 100 percent certain

it will be a boy.

Yes Your Royal Highness?

Can I borrow this for a second?

Of course.

Thank you.

[slams shut]

Did you just hang up on the King?

No. She hung up on her Father-in-law.

[Jan] Well done, Your Royal Highness.

Indeed.

[Bella] Extra security will be provided

once we land in New York

and will escort us directly to our hotel.

I should hope so, Bella.

They'll be at our disposal for the entire North American tour.

I've streamlined the itinerary to no more than

10 ribbon-cuttings per city,

and one overnight in each location.

It's a full schedule.

At least we get to see my brother Jeff and all the kids

at the hospital on the last stop.

I can't wait to see him!

I can't wait to see Jeff either, Your Royal Highness.

There will be the ribbon-cutting

at the new wing of your old hospital.

I just wish we could stay longer.

But you're not going anywhere Your Royal Highness.

What?

Unfortunately Blevins is correct.

There's no "we" on this trip.

I can safely travel up to seven months.

Longer, actually.

We'll be back in San Savarre in no time.

I think it's best if you stay here and rest.

These trips are very hectic, rushing from event to event,

not to mention how sore one's cheeks get

from all those photos.

I haven't been able to work at the hospital much

since my pregnancy, and at least this way

I can still be of service to this country.

It's my duty.

-Blevins. -Uh huh.

Isn't it tradition for the Princess

to travel with the Prince on international tours?

Ah, as an outsider, or relative newcomer to San Savarre,

I'm not certain you're the ideal ambassador just yet.

But, um, you are correct. It is tradition.

And maintaining this country's tradition is essential, right?

Then it's decided!

Just, once moment...

It's decided.

Very well, then.

All right! That settles it.

I think it will be a lot more fun with you there.

It is a lot of work, Your Royal Highness.

How complicated could it be?

♪

[phone ringing]

[Jeff] Hey! What's up?

You don't usually call when I'm on shift.

Everything all right?

How's my little niece or nephew to be?

The baby's fine and I'm ecstatic.

Well I'm glad to hear that!

So what's up, Your Royal Highness?

Why doesn't it sound respectful when you say it?

Because I didn't mean it to.

We're coming for the opening of the new wing.

What?

Ah ah, say that again!

The Prince and Princess of San Savarre will be present for

the opening of the new pediatric wing!

[Kids cheer]

Needless to say, we're all pretty excited,

ah, Your Royal Highness.

That's half-sister-doctor-royal- highness to you.

Ah, that will take too long to say.

Hey, so, um, how is such an important royal person

as yourself needs to travel with a lot of royal security.

Ah, yeah.

Can you think of anyone in particular

who'd be suited for the job?

Come on, Tash.

Is she coming or isn't she?

Who, Bella?

Huh, let me check the itinerary.

You really are wicked, you know that.

Like, wicked awesome, right?

Jeff, of course she's coming!

She is? Yay!

Wow! That's hurtful.

You're more excited to see Bella than you are to see me.

Yes! Well, no.

Well, for different reasons.

[whispers] I'm thinking of proposing!

What? You are?

Yeah, I already have Grandma's ring.

I have so much planning to do!

I know. Me too.

Turns out I have a lot of learning to do

before I can become an ambassador for San Savarre.

You'll be great.

So will you.

[squealing with delight]

[clears throat]

[serious voice] All right. We'll talk later.

Now...

Which one, Your Royal Highness?

Ah ah!

Incorrect! Again.

Why are there three spoons?

Dessert, tea and soup, darling.

So I've been eating soup with a teaspoon this entire time

and no one's corrected me?

[crashing sound]

-Oh dear! -What?

You may grab a dinner roll with your bare hands

in North America,

but in San Savarre, we tend to use the tongs provided.

Okay.

Oh!

What?

Oh right.

And posture!

Oh! Those look good.

Okay! I'm hungry.

I'm craving everything right now.

And thank goodness you are.

You're eating for two now darling.

See.

-Oh! -What?

I'm not supposed to pour my own water.

And that's not a water glass.

Perhaps we should move on to something else?

Now, the press will throw you curve balls and try to tempt you

with leading questions leading into answering

in an inappropriate manner.

But you must always remain one step ahead of them,

at all times.

[giggles]

The best course of action is to turn the tables on them,

and ask them a question in return.

I'm sorry Your Royal Highness. Am I boring you at all?

[stifles a giggle]

[Alexander and Tasha laugh]

Your interview technique is absolutely awful.

Now, at least we can make you look the part.

For a two weeks trip, a Princess traditionally requires

a minimum of 38 unique ensembles.

[Tasha] Seriously?

Where the style of the Royal Family is concerned,

I'm always serious.

Sporting attire, formal attire, interview ensembles,

lunch-ready looks, gowns, ball gowns, red carpet eye-catchers,

respectable cocktail hour style, wardrobe for teas,

conservative business looks for diplomatic photos,

active wear for planned candid outdoor walk photos,

and that's just for the first three days.

Ideally all with an additional dozen as backup,

just in case of emergency.

[Tasha] Emergency?

Besides a spill, what could happen?

With you, Ma'am, I believe anything is possible.

Aw...

[Tasha] Well, I'm sure I can figure something out

with the clothes I already have.

What do you think?

Hmmm.

How do you feel?

Um, well...

Like I might need some help.

That's what I'm here for, Your Royal Highness.

Let's get to work!

Oh!

How do you feel now?

I feel ready.

What do you say, Blevins?

We've done all we can.

Time to go!

For my beautiful wife on her first royal tour.

Oh Alec!

It's beautiful.

You're such a fabulous husband.

Only because I have a fabulous wife.

[Alexander] Darling,

[Tasha laughs] That's easy for you to say!

You just need a few suits and a tuxedo.

You're forgetting about my military jacket

with all the medals and ribbons.

It's very heavy.

[Tasha laughs]

I'm so glad that you're here.

How are you feeling?

I'm excited!

A little tired.

But mainly I'm craving a big old American cheeseburger.

Now the first stop is the ribbon-cutting

of the new San Savarre wing at the Natural Historical Society.

No, the first stop is Burger Cave.

Ummm...

One of the many reasons I love you.

On behalf of the country of San Savarre,

I'm sorry you had to witness that spectacle.

It's so good. So good!

Uh huh.

Will we be getting a sneak peek at the baby bump,

Your Royal Highness?

[music ends]

The Princess is tired.

I think we all are.

This tour has been a whirlwind.

I think our next stop will give us a much-needed boost.

[tablet rings]

It's the King!

Up and at 'em everybody!

Greetings and salutations, Your Majesty.

Blevins!

Put the Prince and Princess on the phone, if you will.

Ah yes, Sir. Very good, Sir.

[King Edward] It's been brilliant!

Oh, I must congratulate both of you

on your extraordinary diplomatic skills.

You have far exceeded my hopes and expectations.

You have endeared yourselves and, by extension,

all of San Savarre to North Americans everywhere.

It's been our pleasure, Father.

[King Edward] The reviews and reports have been exceptional.

Oh and Tasha, your personal touch, well,

may be a little non-traditional, has worked like a charm!

Well done!

You're very welcome, Father-in-law.

So, just one last stop,

and then we have to get you on that plane back to San Savarre!

I was actually hoping we could spend a little extra time

in my hometown.

I'm just, I'm so excited to see my brother Jeff.

Yeah, I know it's important to Bella too.

She has some personal time booked while we're there.

Oh. Is that so?

Um...

I think.

Do you think it's wise to delay your departure?

Tasha is carrying a very important part

of San Savarre with her.

I'm sure she's eager to get our heir home

as soon and as safely as possible.

Well I...

I can assure you, Sir,

that I will escort the Prince and Princess onto the plane

in accordance with our original time line.

And before any potential flight restrictions for the Princess.

Time is of the essence!

You don't want to let the country down, do you Tasha?

You absolutely must get home on time.

[Dr. Gonzales] I thought you hated tea.

[Jeff] Oh, I do.

It tastes like dirty dishwater.

But Bella loves it.

And, I put a ring inside.

Because today's the day that I'm gonna...

No, don't care.

We've got enough going on with this whole Royal production.

All this planning and protocols are taking me away from my...

and making me lose my patience.

Ha! I see what you did there, Dr. G. Good one!

Doctor Gonzales.

But surely you're excited about the new wing they're opening?

Of course I am.

I just think it would be so much easier

if they didn't have to come here to open it.

[Mel] They're here!

They're here!

[Blevins] Make way!

Pardon me. Coming through! Coming through.

Royals coming through!

What are you doing?

Get over here!

It's so good to finally see the little boy or girl!

-Good to see you, brother! -Hey, brother!

Or should I say, Dad-to-be?

Hello. What can I do for you?

Excuse me Prince Alexander.

May we please show you something we made in the craft room?

I would love that.

Lead the way.

'Craft room' is not on the itinerary!

Okay, come on now. Come on then.

Here we go.

[slurping]

Hey.

Hi.

It is so great to see you.

It's nice to see you too.

Come here!

-Ahem. -Oh right.

Hmmm.

Well, it seems like you're holding down the fort over here.

Yeah, yeah.

Dr. Gonzales still isn't a big fan of my hilarious jokes,

but she's seems to be coming around on my nursing skills.

Well, that's because you're great at what you do.

Minus the jokes, of course.

Very nice.

Ah, how about you? How are you doing? Really?

I'm good. Yeah. I'm, I'm really good!

Okay. Now, I know that face.

What's going on?

It's just...

I slowed down my work schedule

when we found out I was pregnant.

King's orders.

And, I miss practicing.

I really miss the kids.

There are so many of them that need help.

Can you believe that there isn't a dedicated children's hospital

in San Savarre?

I just wish I could be more helpful.

It's just for now. It's not forever.

You know that?

I don't know about that.

I don't know if I can handle having a family and

Royal duties, while maintaining a career that I love.

You can handle anything you put your mind to, Tash.

That's always been true.

You really think so?

I know so.

And I might be able to help.

Ah, there's this special case that only

your outstanding doctoring abilities can help with.

Would you be willing to take a look?

Yes. Absolutely.

Right this way.

-Scalpel. -Scalpel.

-Forceps. -Forceps.

-Felt. -Felt?

Yes, felt. It's the only thing that will do.

Felt.

Buttons.

You really do things differently in San Savarre.

Just pass me the buttons, Nurse,

and I'll have the patient recovering in no time.

Buttons. You're the boss.

Is Peanut all better?

Yes ma'am. All better.

Thank you Dr. Tasha.

Hey, Verity. What about me?

What about you, Jeff? She's the boss.

-That's true. -No respect.

No respect, I tell ya.

She's actually having a really tough time.

That's the closest to a smile I've seen since she got here.

Really? What seems to be the problem?

She just isn't responding to treatment how we'd like.

I mean, the treatments themselves are working fine,

but she's just so down.

Hmm.

Mind if I look at her chart?

Yeah. Go ahead. It's right there.

The treatment seems right.

She's in room 104?

Yeah, why?

That room doesn't get very much natural light.

Try supplementing a sun lamp in there.

I bet she perks up a little.

Anyone ever tell you you're pretty clever?

We sure miss having you around here.

I miss practicing here. I miss practicing there.

I miss making a difference on a daily basis, actually.

You're still working part-time in San Savarre,

and that's just for now.

How do you know?

Cuz you're the best.

The world needs more doctors like you.

You always know exactly what to say.

Hey, speaking of...

When are you going to propose?

Oh! I have to read the tea leaves first!

You know, I think a sticker might look quite good here.

Yes! Wow!

What do we think? We like this, right?

You know I think a sticker might also look good...

Here.

[Kids laugh]

I think I might also need one...

Right here.

Perfect.

-What about this giant one? -Yeah.

Like an earring.

Where'd he go? Where'd he go?

Now, how about more on the card.

I think we need to decorate this guy a little bit more.

-Okay. -Yeah?

I'm sure the Queen is going to love chocolate.

She's going to love it. Here we go.

Oh wow.

Ah. Ring a ding ding.

Jeff?

[ring clatters down drain]

We have to go.

Oh okay? Where are we going?

No, the "Royal we". I mean that literally.

What? Already?

Right after the ribbon-cutting.

I'm doing security for three now,

so the King is motivated to have everyone home safe and sound.

But you can't, uh, you can't leave just, just yet!

I don't want to.

We'll spend more time together soon, okay.

Look, I know this whole long distance thing is hard.

But I promise you, it will be worth it.

It already is.

[alarm beeping]

Oh!

Ah, yes. I just need to let everything sink in.

Okay.

It's truly an honor to be present

for the opening of the new wing.

At the place where I first interned,

the place where I became an attending pediatrician,

and the place where I reunited with the charming man

who is now my husband.

The staff here are like family to me.

Well, I should hope so!

I'm her brother.

All this to say, is I'm very proud of where I come from.

It's made me who I am.

And I hope that this new wing will help the children

who need it the most.

Thank you.

All right Your Royal Highnesses,

if you'd like to say your good byes and we'll get on the road.

It'll be all right.

Yeah.

I'll have to meet my little niece or nephew.

That's true.

And there's a little unfinished business

that I still need to attend to.

Right.

All right brother.

Good luck.

Hi.

Will you give this to the Princess, please?

It would be my honor. Thank you.

Next time.

I'll see you soon.

See you soon.

[Blevins] Time is not on our side!

We must get going at once! Come along Bella.

Come along! Chop chop! Come on.

[Dr. Gonzales] Let's go everybody! Party's over.

Sorry!

It's all right.

I'll see them again before too long.

No, sorry, can you move please?

Oh, sorry.

[Mel] Someone's got to clean this up!

I'm getting back to work, Doctor G.

Yeah, you better be. [clears her throat]

So. Did you pop the question?

Because I didn't see a ring on her finger.

No, unfortunately the plans kind of went down the drain.

Speaking of which,

I need to call maintenance and request a plumber.

[Blevins] Looks like we'll make it to the airport

just in time.

[Tasha moans]

It's not that bad, is it?

I thought it was rather cute.

No, it's just... I have a cramp.

A cheeseburger cramp, perhaps?

It's just a little ache.

I'm not due for another two months.

[moans painfully]

Turn the motorcade around.

We have to go back to the hospital immediately.

[Blevins] But we don't have time!

If that baby is coming, we need to get you on the plane!

He must be born on San Savarran soil!

What? San Savarran soil? Since when?

Yeah, since when?

Since always.

That's always been the law!

Don't you think you should have shared

this important information earlier?

I thought everyone understood!

Look, if your father...

It's okay. It's okay. Just breathe, just breathe.

You're okay.

Everything's going to be fine.

The Royals are back!

The Royals are back?

[Mel] The Royals are back!

Did you miss me?

What's going on? What's happening?

She's having pains.

[Dr. Gonzales] Nurse Jeff, get the patient a wheelchair.

We'll admit her.

And do a thorough examination immediately.

Get the Prince in the private waiting room.

Okay.

Thanks for bringing her back.

Hey, hey. Look at me.

She's going to be just fine. Okay?

Just fine.

It's perfectly normal to experience these kinds of pains

at this stage in your pregnancy.

It's just a little scare.

Thank goodness!

Everything is fine Tasha.

I'm just going to need you to stay on bed rest now.

Well, that simply isn't possible.

Sure it is.

Certainly we can find some kind of private jet

with a bed for her.

No. She's in no condition to travel.

Well you just said she was fine!

She is fine.

As long as she's placed on bed rest.

[Blevins] Let's say we agree to this.

How long will it be until she can travel?

Well, there's no way of knowing

if we're talking about days or weeks.

Which is why we're going to be monitoring her closely.

And for the record,

I don't need your permission to do right by my patient.

Look, we need to return to San Savarre immediately

in order for the Royal line of succession to remain intact.

No! You look, little man.

I don't care about your Royal "traditions".

I do care, however, about the health and safety

of my patient and her baby.

Which is why Tasha will remain on bed rest.

That is the final word.

Well, I'm going to...

I'm going to tell the King about you!

So there!

Do that! I have words for him myself.

I'm letting the entire country down.

You are doing no such thing.

In fact, by taking better care of yourself, you are taking

responsibility for the future of San Savarre.

What am I going to tell your father?

Don't worry about that.

I will talk to him.

[Plumber] Ah! There you are.

You slippery sucker.

Connie! Did you find it?

Oh!

[British accent] Why Connie, I don't know if I can accept.

Father would never approve!

You don't deserve me.

I do not want to do this.

What?

You don't?

Who told you?

Blevins.

How did he know?

I presume the King told him.

Well how did he know?

What are you talking about?

What are you talking about?

The King is calling momentarily

and it is not going to be pleasant.

Ohhhh! [chuckles]

He is not going to be pleased.

Bella, you can handle it.

You can handle anything.

You're such an incredible person.

I've never known anyone as strong, or as singular as you.

You care for people not because it's your job,

but because it's part of who you are.

You're a protector. And I...

[Bella's phone rings]

Your Majesty!

Yes, that is...

[whispers to Jeff] What are you doing?

Yes, no, I'm here.

Well the problem...

He hung up!

This is a disaster.

Yeah. Yeah it is.

[stretching] Oh. That's nice though.

Listen to me!

You have to get Tasha back here at once!

I will not risk the health of my wife or my child.

Then this child will not be a San Savarran citizen,

much less an heir to the throne!

Tradition dictates he will no longer be

in the line of succession.

Why do you keep saying "he"?

She could be a girl, for all we know.

The Cavalieri family always has boys.

There's never been a female heir to the throne.

Not that it would matter either way if the child

is not born here!

My wife's life is at stake. My child's.

I will deal with this

and I will have their best interests in mind.

You will find a way to have that child born in San Savarre!

Now that is an ord...

Did you just hang up on the King?

No. I hung up on your Father-in-law.

[Tasha] Blevins. Come on.

It's o... Are you okay?

[music ends]

This is impossible.

There just isn't a way to make this plan work.

The King is going to banish me.

I just wish we could take the hospital

and put it in San Savarre.

That's it!

Is the hover boat back in play?

No!

We may not be able to take the hospital to San Savarre,

but we can bring San Savarre to the hospital!

Are you feeling all right, Your Royal Highness?

I think he's lost it.

No no. Don't you understand?

We can have the hospital declared

sovereign San Savarran territory.

There have been a few precedents.

Other royal families have been granted

the same opportunity in the past.

Of course!

And then the royal baby would technically be born

on San Savarran soil,

and the traditional line of succession would be intact!

But, is this even possible?

Leave that to us.

I will call the ambassador.

I guess I'll clean up.

Look Mel, I'm really sorry for how I spoke to you earlier.

It was uncalled for.

I'm just not used to being on this side of things.

It's all right.

I know you're under a lot of stress and

we just don't want you to feel stress.

Thanks for understanding.

Of course...

Your Royal Highness.

Okay. There's no need for that, Mel, it's just me.

Dr. Tasha, if I were a princess,

I would make everybody around me bow and curtsy.

Your life must be the best!

Well, I don't get to work as much as I'd like to.

I just get dragged to all these fancy dinners,

and galas, and gown fittings.

Boring stuff like that.

Yeah, that sounds awful.

Now, I would love it if you could please drink some water.

That pitcher is almost completely full still!

No!

Sorry! I'm sorry!

Wow. You're a good doctor but a really bad patient.

I know. I need to work on that.

How are you feeling?

Much better. Thank you Dr. Tasha.

More importantly, how is Peanut doing?

All better!

He's a much better patient than me, huh?

[giggles] Yeah.

You know, I wanna be just like you when I grow up.

A Princess?

I wanna be a Princess and a doctor!

Being a doctor is cool because you get to help people.

But being a Princess is also cool because

you get to help people in other ways, like charities and stuff.

And you get to play dress-up too.

You know, you're pretty clever, Verity.

When I grow up, I want to be just like you.

Come here.

According to our ambassador, all we have to do is convince our

American diplomat colleague to temporarily declare Tasha's room

"sovereign San Savarran soil",

and all of our problems are solved.

Hold on.

There are other powers that be that need convincing first.

Like who?

[sniffs]

Oh right. No, yes. Of course.

We would absolute need your approval first.

I'm not so sure you're going to get it.

Dr. Gonzales, why ever not?

Well because our ward has it's own set of

protocols and standards that need to be upheld.

Not to mention there would be a whole river of red tape to make

something like this happen.

And I am but only one chief.

Would monetary remuneration be an incentive?

What are we talking about here?

Well, if the hospital is willing to cooperate,

Tasha's room will qualify for the very generous funding

of the San Savarran health system budget.

Money can't solve all problems, Your Highness.

But it can provide a worthy hospital with much needed

and brand new medical equipment.

Doctor, I'm not trying to bribe you.

But you'll need increased staff to help move patients,

extra security to help deal with the media,

that sort of thing.

We would more than compensate the hospital

for the inconvenience.

Would this about cover it?

Welcome home, Prince Alexander!

What percentage of the hospital

does San Savarre intend to assume?

The Princess' room is

four hundred and thirty-two square feet.

We would require no more and no less.

Is the attached restroom included in that square footage?

Indeed, Ambassador McDavid.

And is that absolutely necessary?

I should say so, Ambassador McDavid.

Huh! Very well.

Next order of business.

How will the San Savarran health system budget contribute to the

betterment of the hospital room in question?

Well we have here is a detailed and itemized list

including all the innovations and improvements.

For not just the Princess's room but to all the maternity suites.

The total's at the bottom there.

This is in San Savarran dollars, I presume?

US dollars.

Well, I'm surprised to admit it,

but your requests are completely reasonable,

and your contributions are more than generous.

I believe we can come to an agreement.

Very good.

On behalf of San Savarre,

to mark this momentous, historic occasion,

I should like to bestow an annual gift upon your country.

A small thank you, if you will, for the generous hospitality

which you are showing the Prince and Princess.

Completely unnecessary, Blevins.

I must insist.

5,000 San Savarre fir trees will be shipped every year

on this precise date and planted near your nation's capital.

Hmmm.

Playing hardball I see. Very well.

In that case, 5,000 waffles, baked in accordance with the

secret San Savarran recipe, will be delivered to you every year

for Waffle Day.

Waffle Day?

You don't celebrate Waffle Day in North America?

It's not a major holiday.

I fear they would spoil

before we were able to distribute them, anyhow.

You're firm but fair, Ambassador McDavid. Firm but fair.

Very well.

My final offer then is inspired

by the Princess's passion project in our homeland.

We shall deliver to you 5,000 baby boxes on this occasion.

Starter kits with everything a newborn needs.

Diapers, clothing, sleeping bundles, outdoor wear, etc. etc.

The one where the shipping box turns into the baby's first bed?

Of course.

In fact there is a small mattress inside every box.

Just the thing to give little ones

the right start in life.

We could help a lot of new parents.

Is that a 'yes'?

Throw in some toys and it will be.

Toys are included, in the 'etc. etc.'

We will also require a gift certificate.

Hmmm...

Your countrymen are rather fond of Burger Cave, are they not?

Not that kind of certificate.

Should we require your assistance,

we can call upon you at any time.

A perfectly elegant solution.

You were right from the beginning.

I shouldn't have never come on this trip.

Everything has gone wrong!

I just, I wanted to make San Savarre proud.

I wanted to make you proud.

I have never been more proud to be your husband, Tasha.

I know things haven't gone quite as planned,

but we're making it work.

Are we?

Our child won't be heir to the throne, and it's all my fault.

Papers, please.

What's going on, Alexander?

We may not be able to take you to San Savarre...

But we can bring San Savarre to you.

Welcome home.

I don't understand.

The government of the United States,

along with the hospital board of this revered institution,

represented here by Dr. Gonzales, has reached

a diplomatic arrangement with the Principality of San Savarre.

I'm hereby delighted to announce that as long as you are in this

room, you are on San Savarran soil.

So, our baby...

Will be heir to the throne.

Oh!

Pretty clever, huh?

No.

My water just broke!

It's happening.

It's really happening!

[Dr. Gonzales] Prince Alexander?

Prince Alexander?

Alec!

There you go.

No no no! Don't try to get up.

Have a sip of this first.

There we go. How's that?

Thank you. I apologize.

I think I got a bit overwhelmed.

That's normal. Come on. Let's get you up.

[baby cries]

It's a girl!

[baby cries]

Uncle Jeff has a niece!

Ho ho ho. Not so fast. Not so fast.

We're not done yet.

[baby cries]

And a boy?

Tw -- Twins!

Twins!

[babies crying]

Well done.

[babies crying]

[babies cooing]

Ah! You're awake, Your Royal Highnesses.

It is indeed a day to celebrate.

Your first born child was a boy.

And the natural heir to the throne.

The King will be pleased!

Back that up, Blevins.

Tasha's first born was a girl. I was there. Don't test me.

Oh, never mind that. He's the next male heir to the throne.

And the heir has always been a male.

That doesn't really seem fair.

Our daughter was born first.

Oh, it's not about fairness, Your Royal Highness,

it's about tradition.

The King would like to speak to both of you

as soon as it is convenient.

We'll schedule something later with him today.

He's available now.

Ah, congratulations, my boy!

Well, you're not a boy anymore, are you?

You have a boy of your own.

And an heir to the throne!

Our son wasn't the first born, Father.

No, our daughter was.

Shouldn't she be the heir to the throne?

We can quibble about the details later.

The important thing is that you get that

little girl and little boy back here as soon as you can!

I suppose we can't keep calling them

"little boy" and "little girl" much longer.

No, I guess you're right.

We had it figured out when we thought it was just one,

but I guess we'll have to rethink.

Well, they'll be named according to family tradition!

After my great grandparents: Englebert and Gertrude!

Well, we can quibble about the details later!

[slams tablet shut]

Did you just hang up on the King?

Again?

No, I hung up on our children's grandfather.

[tablet ringing]

Your Majesty?

I don't know what happened there.

Must be going through a tunnel or a black spot, or something.

Did Mommy just hand up on Grandpa?

Ah! She did!

[baby cooing]

[light music, chattering]

It's a "Mom-Mo-Sa".

Pretty good, huh?

Jeff has been waiting his entire life to be an uncle.

Well, he's a natural at it.

Jeff! You didn't have to get us a gift!

Oh! Well that's a relief, because I didn't.

This is way better!

It's a suggestion box filled with baby names

from everyone at the hospital!

Oh!

"The men's bathroom needs nicer hand soap"?

Oh? Oh! I used the suggestion box from the staff room.

That was my idea.

I think it's been really helpful, too.

Right Mel?

There's a suggestion box in the staff room?

Yeah, I suggest you check it out!

Sorry, I should have probably emptied it out.

Here, why don't you keep digging, Tash.

Okay.

"Cutey Cute Sweetums".

Yeah. The kids were allowed to put some in too.

Ah, yeah.

"Peanut".

I bet I know who that one's from.

You got me! That one is mine!

"Spaghetti".

And... "Donna".

What do you think, Spaghetti, Donna?

I think it's time for your nap.

Jeff. Thank you.

This is everything I could have hoped for.

Yeah. I'm terrific.

[chattering]

-Congratulations! -Thank you. Thanks for coming.

Hey. You're the best.

Well done.

[babies cooing]

You know, I've always loved the name Grace.

[baby gurgles happily]

[Alexander] What do you think about that, my love?

Do you think you're a "Grace"?

Well all right then, Grace it is.

You know...

I've always thought the name "Albert" was rather regal.

What are your thoughts on that, young Prince?

[baby gurgles happily]

Well, then it's decided!

Grace and Albert.

Albert and Grace.

Built-in best friends for life.

[Alexander sniffs]

All right, which one of you did it?

Oh no!

-Both of them? -Uh hm.

Yeah. They're ganging up on us already, huh!

Aren't you ready yet?

We haven't prepped for your interview with Gabriella Kahn.

It's your first engagement of the day.

I'm so sorry, Blevins. I completely forgot.

I'm a little exhausted.

We'll prepare first, then we'll tuck you in.

Now tomorrow morning, first thing,

we do the exclusive with Gabriella Khan about the twins,

and then...

We travel home.

San Savarre can't wait to meet it's two newest Royals.

Duty calls!

Yeah, well... Ugh...

Doody also calls.

So, I'll go get ready.

And you take Albert? Thanks Blevins!

Albert?

So. You have a name, do you?

Come over here, Blevins.

Grace and I will show you how it's done.

It's very dandy Warhol, isn't it?

[show opening music] [audience applause]

Here you are,

at the end of your unexpectedly extended North American tour.

I would say it's been a raging success.

[audience applause]

How do you feel about it, Prince Alexander?

San Savarre couldn't have asked for a better ambassador

than my beautiful wife.

We're both very grateful for the warm welcome.

Princess Tasha...

Oh, you can call me Tasha.

Tasha.

You have been photographed on red carpets eating cheeseburgers

and hugging grumpy politicians.

For anyone else, this would have been spun into bad press.

What is your secret?

I don't actually know.

Honesty, I suppose.

Alexander and I don't do anything as a PR stunt.

We are who we are,

and we just hope that the people we meet feel that.

Well they certainly seem to.

Now, you've had a few 'baby bumps' along the way,

but you don't seem any worse for the wear.

How are you two managing?

Are you exhausted?

[both together] Yes!

Gabriella, I have never been more tired.

I've also never been happier.

I'm in awe of my wife.

I have a healthy baby boy and girl.

I'm living in a dream.

And your father, King Edward, has just announced

the date of the christening,

where your son is going to be named heir to the throne.

Oh, that hasn't been decided yet.

Well, it certainly seems as if His Majesty thinks it has.

Did you know about that?

No. No I didn't

We'll sort it out.

Well, I just don't want "His Majesty"

to sort it out without us.

I'll fix it.

Well, you heard it here first.

Good night and tune in again tomorrow.

[audience applause]

[babies cooing and gurgling]

I can't believe you did this to us!

He's just a bit of a traditionalist.

It comes with being a monarch.

Do you think he's right?

Shhh!

[Alexander] I think there's value in some traditions.

But I want both of our children

to be loved, honored and respected!

I want that for them too!

Then you need to stand up for us!

[Jeff] Shhh!

[quietly] Then you need to stand up for us!

I would. But you're always standing up to him first!

He doesn't listen to me!

I don't think he listens to me either, Tasha.

So what do we do?

We talk to him together.

Come on.

[Tasha] I wish we could stay longer.

But, looks like we've passed our medical checks.

I get it. It's time to go home.

Listen Jeff.

Thank you. For everything.

I couldn't have done any of this without your help.

Well, yeah. What else is new?

Oww!

You got that mom strength.

It was hard enough saying goodbye last time.

Now it's not only my sister and my best friend and my girlfriend

and the snooty guy, but also my favorite two little bunnies!

I'm gonna miss you all so much.

I know.

We're going to miss you too.

You better.

-Take care. -You too.

Sorry we didn't get to spend much time together.

Me too.

When I'm back, we can plan a real trip, start that countdown.

And we can be on the phone every night until then.

Every night.

Every night.

-Bye. -Bye.

-Making a break for it! -Bye.

Look at you. Hi!

[cooing]

-He's so tired. -I know.

Your Royal Highnesses, King Edward heard about

your little outburst on the Gabriella Kahn show.

He's requesting a video call with you both.

Well, you can tell the King that we'll talk to him

when we're good and ready!

Oh! Hello, Your Majesty.

What was that you were saying, Tasha?

Um. Well I, ah...

We...

We're concerned that you're making plans

ahead of time for the twins without including us.

And we don't like that you've arbitrarily decided

that our son will be the heir.

Of course he's the heir.

He's the first born child of the Prince!

Technically, our daughter was the first born.

[King Edward] The heir is always male.

Why does it have to be our son?

Why not our daughter?

[King Edward] I understand that some of our ways

may seem antiquated to you, a "modern woman",

but traditions are there for a reason.

The San Savarran crown has passed down through

the male line for centuries.

Okay, but don't you think that San Savarre should,

I don't know, move along with the times?

It's just tradition! It's not the law.

Yes, well as far as I'm concerned, tradition is the law,

and that's all I want to hear about it!

Did the King just hang up on you?

Yes.

Yes he did.

[babies fussing]

Hey, you're awake.

[babies fussing]

[Alexander] Mean old king.

Are you happy to be going home to San Savarre?

When's your next royal tour?

I think I can safely say that there's no place like home.

Princess Tasha, what's it like being mother to twins?

I think it means double the diaper changes

and double the love.

Can you comment on your Royal disagreement

between you and His Majesty?

We're not at liberty at this time to talk about that.

And yet, we will.

Yes.

The simple fact of the matter is that there was a disagreement.

We're a family.

Differences of opinion happen.

It's not juicy gossip, we're just

overdue for a heartfelt discussion.

And I'm very much looking forward to it.

Right! Thank you.

Um, moving on.

Home at last!

[Tasha] Finally.

A little time to ourselves.

We haven't had much of that

since Gracie and Albert came into our lives, have we?

I don't think I've ever had that.

Good point.

Heavy weighs the crown and all that.

[baby fussing]

Oh, I think she's fussing because she wants the crown.

Do you want the crown, Gracie? Hmm?

Oh I'm not done with that fight yet.

I would expect nothing less, my love.

Oh, please, come in!

Well, no sleeping on the job! There's much to be done.

There's documents to sign and a baptism to plan.

Chop chop!

There's no place like home, huh?

Yeah, welcome back.

[Blevins] These are formal thank you's

that require both of your signatures.

[baby gurgling]

Albert wants to help.

Yes, well, if you could tell Albert not to help,

that would be very helpful.

It's just a lot harder without an extra pair of hands.

Jeff made it so much easier.

Well, yes.

But you do have an entire staff at your disposal, Your Highness,

ready and willing to assist.

Thank you, Blevins.

It's just not the same as family.

Oh here.

Hey Blevins.

Since Albert is going to be presented to the country as

heir, I was wondering if you'd be willing to share

how succession in the Royal Line actually works.

It's good of you to take an interest in matters of state.

Yes. You're blossoming into your role here very well.

Ah, well. It's my duty, isn't it?

It is indeed!

San Savarre has always followed the principles of

"primogeniture".

This means that the monarch's eldest, and his descendants,

take precedence in matters of succession.

The first born becomes the heir apparent, and so on so on so on,

down the line.

-That's fascinating! -Yes indeed!

So fascinating that Grace and Albert have fallen asleep.

Yes, I would of thought it was be of the utmost interest to you

Your Royal Highness, as father to the rightful heir.

Of course it is, isn't it sweetie?

Ah, yes. It is fascinating, in its own way.

Where can I learn more?

The library holds many historical documents about

the little history of our little hereditary monarchy.

Heirs apparent, patrilineal continuity, and, well of course,

that one time King Leon the Third passed away

without having named his successor.

That caused quite a headache, I can tell you!

Well I'm sure!

Well, I must say I had no idea this would

hold such interest for you, Ma'am.

His Majesty will be very pleased!

Now, when you finish signing all this,

there are hundreds more in the antechamber.

And I'll go and get them.

And perhaps... A cheeseburger?

Oh!

What's gotten into you?

Well, a cheeseburger, soon enough.

You're scheming.

You've that scheming look on your face.

It's just an idea.

Hmm.

[Tasha reading] Heir male or heir general...

There you are.

Ahem!

His Royal Highness requests your immediate presence for, ah,

baby bath time.

Is it bath time already?

Yes.

Alexander?

[Alexander] We got started without you

and it got very wet very quickly in here.

I recommend you stay outside and save yourself.

[Tasha] Are you sure?

[Alexander chuckles] Positive.

Clever girl.

I found something in the library.

It's important.

[Alexander] Oh?

So, technically,

Meaning that it has a hereditary line of succession in which

the heirs male or heirs general are stipulated.

[Alexander] Heirs male or heirs general?

Meaning the oldest child succeeds the throne.

Regardless of gender!

So Gracie could be the heir!

Exactly.

Although...

I'm pretty sure someone's going to need some convincing.

I'm sure these two could convince him.

Going to bring out the big guns, huh?

He's already fast asleep.

[Bella] The Archbishop will be presiding over the event

with only immediate family in attendance.

No media will be allowed.

Save for the Royal photographer.

We'll release the photos the day after the baptism

at a scheduled media event,

so we can circulate the images of Grace and Albert

in their gowns while keeping the actual event a private affair.

Uh, yeah, it sounds like you have everything under control!

I just really miss you, Jeffy. I wish that you were here.

Surprise!

Hi!

You didn't think I'd miss the big day, did you?

You're here!

Now that's more like it.

-I missed you. -I missed you too.

[Bella's phone buzzes]

Duty calls.

Okay. Take me to your leader!

The King?

Oh, right. No, ah, I meant:

Take me to my sister!

Of course.

-Come one! -Okay.

[babies fussing]

I can't believe you're here.

Well, I thought you'd need this,

and it was the fastest way to get it to you.

Okay, what hilarious thing are you going to prank me with?

No joke.

Here.

They were yours and mine.

I found them in the attic.

Oh Jeff. Thank you.

I'm so glad you're here.

It's been a little hard looking after these two

without your help.

Aw, you're a natural, Tash.

I see the same spark in you now

as when you're treating patients.

Do you think it's bad to admit that I'm kind of sad

to have left that part of my life behind?

But, do you really have to?

I mean, what about opening a children's hospital

here in San Savarre?

Well, you know how it is.

the schedule of a working doctor a little difficult.

Maybe you can take a more passive approach

until you're ready.

Like what?

Well you open the hospital,

and then until you're ready to run it yourself,

you just fill it with people you trust and love.

Yeah, like you?

Oh!

Yeah! Yeah, like me.

Wait, really?

Are you saying you'd be willing to stay here in San Savarre?

Move your entire life here?

Well, I mean, with Bella and you and Alec and the babies,

I mean, my entire life is kinda here already.

The promise of a job, it'd be hard to keep me away!

It could be fun.

Could be!

The Jeff Memorial Hospital.

Okay, no no no no.

Oh! Gorgeous, isn't it?

It's traditional and it's appropriate.

Oh!

Change of plans.

I absolutely adore them!

Perfection.

It's a new tradition!

But the King will have to approve.

[babies fussing]

[tablet ringing]

The King!

Ah, the King is calling.

[tablet ringing]

Father, we wanted to talk to you before the baptism.

[King Edward] Oh!

I haven't been this excited since, oh I don't know,

since your wedding, I suppose!

So, where are they?

Show me those little bundles of bliss!

[Tasha] Jeff brought the outfits.

They were ours when we were christened.

What do you think?

[King Edward] Absolutely charming!

It's a wonderful new tradition, Tasha.

Many thanks to your brother for his inspired contribution.

Thank you, Father.

[King Edward } Ah yes, Tasha, I thought as much.

So I've been doing my research...

Oh I am well aware.

Blevins has informed me of your little digging expedition.

And he has shared with me

some of the relevant history, actually.

Tasha...

You weren't exactly the 'traditional' choice of bride

for my son, and no one could consider your

'cheeseburger diplomacy' exactly traditional.

But every step of the way you have taught me that, well,

that traditions are what we make of them.

It takes bravery to step away from the old path

and forge a new one,

and thanks to you, well, I'm beginning to understand

the value in both the old and the new.

Thank you.

[King Edward] However.

There are certain traditions that must be honored

no matter how 'old-fashioned' they might appear.

Which brings me to the future of San Savarre,

and the naming of its eventual heir.

But, Father...

Don't you "but Father," me, my boy.

[King Edward } The fact is...

Tasha was correct.

The "Hereditary Line of Succession" book does not

strictly stipulate that the heir to the throne has to be male.

Blevins here was good enough to point that out to me.

[King Edward] And if the founders of our great land

decided it was unnecessary to so stipulate, then...

Who am I to do so?

So, you're saying that...

Today we will christen and present

the very first female heir and eventual successor to the throne

the future Queen Grace of San Savarre.

Thank you, Father. Thank you.

Um, I'd actually

like to ask your permission for one more thing.

Well, you've got me in a very good mood right now,

so you might as well proceed while you're ahead.

Well...

I'd like to open up a children's hospital here in San Savarre.

And I recognize that my plate is very full with Albert and Grace,

along with my Royal duties.

Yeah, I think...

And I know I can't do it on my own, and I don't plan to.

But the fact of the matter is looking after all children,

not just my own, is more than a job to me.

It's, it's my entire life.

Yes, Tasha I think that...

A very young, wise patient, Verity, once reminded me

the benefits of being both a Princess and a doctor.

And I'd like to be like Verity.

I'd like to be both, but on my own terms.

And that's it.

Now you can tell me why that's such a terrible idea.

Tasha, if you'll just let me get a word in edgewise,

I was going to say that I think

it's an absolutely wonderful idea.

Thank you.

Wait. What?

Well, it's not going to be easy,

but then wonderful things seldom are.

But it's a terrific goal to work towards.

[King Edward] And you have my full support.

Thank you so much!

No. Thank you, Tasha.

Now, I have to finish getting ready for the ceremony.

[King Edward] I'll see you both before long.

Goodbye for now!

-Goodbye! -Goodbye!

[Alexander] Imagine that.

A perfectly civilized end to a phone call for once.

Darling, I am so proud of you!

Look at what you've accomplished.

No. What we've accomplished.

Yes, yes, you're both terrific.

Now let's get a move on!

We've got a Royal baptism to attend!

Who is this McDavid, again?

We met her on the tour.

She worked with her government to allow the babies

to be born in San Savarre.

Oh right.

I like her.

She put a little piece of your hometown in the middle of mine.

She's thanking you for sending 10,000 baby boxes?

You sent 10,000 baby boxes?

It seemed right.

I'll always be grateful that your country helped our babies.

The least we can do is help some of theirs.

I love you.

I love you, too.

[babies gurgle happily]

[bells ringing]

-[Bella] All good? -[Alexander] Uh huh.

Well?

Oh yeah. Bella loves baptisms.

She says there's less people to wrangle.

You know that's not what I meant.

I'm gonna do it today.

After the babies are baptized.

I can't wait any longer.

I'm just so nervous!

No. Don't be.

You can do it.

You can do anything.

Thanks for being here, brother.

Half brother.

I'll be back.

It's time! Ready?

Come on. Come on.

This is the best Christmas gift I could have ever hoped for.

[babies cooing]

The babies' first Christmas.

♪

[Jeff] You guys made history today.

One day, a Queen, your daughter, will rule San Savarre.

See Tash, I told you you could do anything.

Well, you can too, you know.

[Tasha] Go on.

[Alexander] Go for it!

Well. Here goes nothing.

Hey! Hi.

-Hey. -Hi.

Hi.

Ah, do you have a minute?

Yes.

Um. Okay.

This is something I've been wanting to...

[both say together] What are you doing?

[both say together] Proposing to you!

I've been wanting to do this since the Royal tour,

and now you're going to scoop me?

Well, I guess we're starting a new tradition today.

Are you seriously...

Jeff, I love you so much.

Your corny jokes make me laugh,

your sweet empathy makes me feel like I could cry if I need to,

and I want to spend the rest of my life

laughing and crying with you.

Jeffy, will you marry me?

Yes! Yes! Of course I will!

Welcome to the family!

You know, I've always wanted a sister,

and I couldn't think of a better one.

We've actually never hugged before, have we?

No we have not, Your Royal Highness.

But seems like we have forever to figure that out.

Congratulations.

[Jeff] Let's go show Blevins.

I think they're going to live happily ever after, don't you?

Uh huh.
