Bird and I were talking and we thought it would be remiss of us if we let this day go by without a Happy Birthday tribute to Jake!

There were so many great moments leading up to and including his birth. Bird graciously provided us with the transcripts of Elizabeth first meeting her son.

Jason: How -- how is she?

Epiphany: Well, r condition is guarded right now, but if there aren't any other complications, she should be fine. Elizabeth and the baby would've died if you hadn't brought her in. Did you call lucky?

Jason: No. I mean, I found her on the floor with blood, all I wanted to do was get her help.

Epiphany: Then I have some calls to go make.

Jason: You did great. The baby's fine. I saw him. We have -- we have a son. Nurse: He's doing just fine. We thought his mom would want to hold him when she wakes up.

Jason: Hey.

[Baby fusses]

Jason: Oh, come here. It's ok, it's ok. It's ok. Hi. Whew. Hey. I'm -- I'm your father
[Baby coos]

Elizabeth: Jason?

Jason: Are you ok?

Elizabeth: I must be. How's my son?

Jason: How -- how'd you know?

Elizabeth: The blanket kind of gave it away. I had a feeling all along.

Jason: Oh, man, he's -- he's beautiful. Here you go. Oh, be careful.

[Baby cries]

Jason: Oh, it's ok.

Elizabeth: Hi, baby. Oh, my goodness.

Jason: It's ok.

Elizabeth: Oh, my goodness. Hi, baby boy. Jason, look at him.

[Baby fusses]

Elizabeth: Hi, love. Hi, love.

Jason: I'd forgotten how tiny they are, you know? He's -- he's so light.

Elizabeth: Well, you weren't carrying him around for nine months. And it was worth every second. I'm already in love with him.

Jason: I -- I know what you mean.

Elizabeth: I guess you're in the habit of saving our lives.

Jason: How are you feeling?

Elizabeth: I'm tired. I just had a baby, you know.

[Elizabeth chuckles]

Jason: I'll put -- I'll put him back.

Elizabeth: Ok. Mommy loves you. I love you, my little pumpkin.

Jason: "Pumpkin"?

Elizabeth: Huh. I -- I promise I'll stop before he gets too old to remember.

Jason: I'm going to -- I'm going to remember every minute of this.

I thought BH played that so well. She was very believable as a woman who had just given birth, and who was meeting her son for the first time. I loved it!

What were your favorite moments?

So Happy Birthday Jake! :)
