Did you hear that?
I think he just said "Dana"! Did you say "Dana"? He's just over the moon whenever he can be with you!
-- You love being with Dana, don't you? == And Momma One is always over the moon to see Momma Two, isn't she?
Especially when she has a big favour to ask of me, right?
-- Me? I'd never do that! == No, of course not! So, what's up?
== Well, here's the thing...I'm taking three hours off, tomorrow, because I have to go to the doctor's to get Maxi vaccinated. - And...?
There's a party at the NoLimits, tonight...I'd just love to party all night, once more, dance, flirt, meet someone...
I understand, also that you'd like to sleep in, once again. The two of us, we get up early, anyways, don't we? I'll take you to the doctor, then.
Really?
Dana, you're made of gold! Gold, gold, gold!!
I just hope the doctor won't stress because you're not his biological mother.
Maybe you could just print one of those letter-of- authorization- thingy for me, once more.
I'll do that.
This whole bureaucracy really sucks, though, doesn't it?
Well, we've talked plenty about that, already. If we want to share custody, I have to adopt Maxi and that's not so easy...I've done some research. Look.
Stepchild-adoption.
== That sounds perfect for us, though! -- Yeah...
We should do that, right away, even if it means we have to fill out about a thousand forms, once more.
Well, first of all, we'd have to go to the registry office, as I can only adopt Maxi if the two of us get married.
== Get married?! -- Yup.
These administrative idiots have completely lost their minds! Just because we're not queer, you can't adopt Maxi?!
The people from the adoption office just want to make sure Maxi grows up within a stabil, commited relationship.
== So, what shall we do? -- We'll pretend.
Yet, we still have to get married?
Just on paper. Jeez, Jessica, I don't want to go to bed with you!
However, in order to adopt Max, we have to get married and therefore, everyone must believe we're a couple!
Dana's right.
Christian and I had to go through all of this, back then, when we wanted to be Lilly's foster parents.
Was it a problem, back then, that you were a same-sex couple?
Dana, we are not a same-sex couple!!
You don't have to be.
The Child Protection Service won't look into your bedroom, still, it would be good if they thought you were a happy couple.
For how long would we do this? Days, weeks?
Longer, I'm afraid.
Forget about it, Dana! I won't pretend to be a lesbian for months, that's totally weird!
Well, thanks!
NO! I don't mean being homosexual I mean pretending to be!
If I pretend for months to be a lesbian, I'll never pick up a guy again!
== I wouldn't be quite so pessimistic. -- Easy for you to say! You don't have to get a flattop haircut or wear a lumberjack shirt!
Jesus! I'll be at the NoLimits. Bye!
That's nonsense and nobody expects that from you! Jessica, it's the only way for me to adopt Maxi!
No, sorry.
Where is that stupid fish?
It was still there the last time we gave Maxi a bath.
If we don't find it, Maxi is never going to stop screaming again.
== I think I've found it! -- You're my hero!
No, you are mine!
Thanks for taking Maxi to the doctor's, tomorrow, even though I don't want a lesbian wedding.
That's okay. It would have taken much getting used to. Maybe we gonna find any other solution.
Until then, we can keep going with the letters of authorization.
Oh, I'd almost forgotten that!
Hold on...
here's my insurance card, my ID, Maxi's vaccination certificate, his examination file and the authorization.
== In the office I printed this scrap of paper from the internet, I hope that's allright. - Thanks.
My little one, you're going to splash around with the fish and Momma Two, okay?
Then, tomorrow, you'll get a teeny tiny little pinprick in your botty and you can show Momma Two what a brave little fellow you are. Bye, cutie!
Allright, I'm sure the doctor's going to accept the letter of authorization. So now, beat it! Go party, Momma One!
Bye!
== You can't even imagine how much catching up I've got to do! -- Go for it!
"Hereby, I, Jessica Stiehl, grant Miss Dana Wolf to substitute for me at the vaccination appoinment of my son." Substitute...listen to that.
Now you're all cleaned up.
So that tomorrow, the doctor won't wonder who your mommy gave the authorization to.
I would do everything for you, my darling.
Even if you were my own child, I couldn't love you more.
I would even adopt you, but then I'd have to marry your mommy and she doesn't want to.
The little guy is really lucky you're his mom.
I feel like his mother, yet... in the eyes of the law, I'm nothing.
I can understand you're worried about Maximilian and that you want to protect him.
To be honest, he was the only reason I could go on...without Hagen.
I'm just scared that I might lose him, too, one day.
If it hadn't been for Maxi, I would't have made it a day longer. All this fear and uncertainty...
The little one was just there...
he wanted to live, be looked after...
that's beautiful.
It was the same with Timo.
If a child enters your life, no matter whether or not it's your biological child, it changes everything.
For the non-Spanish people: "As if a new star was born into the sky."
Uhm...I'm sorry, I couldn't help but eavesdrop, earlier. Would you really marry Jessy?
If it's the only way I can adopt Maxi... do you find that very strange?
== That guy's got a nice ass. -- True. He's about to turn around.
So much for that.
== Never mind, I can see a lot of cuties, around here! -- That's right!
You know...they want me, I want them. Why should I be the one to marry a woman?
== Hello! -- Hi!
Hey!!
Normally, I would have bought you a drink. However, if you want to marry a woman...
What? No, no, no! I'm not a lesbian! I'm Jessica Stiehl and I'm thirsty, very thirsty.
Allright, well in that case I shall have whatever Jessica here's having, twice, please.
Two Sex on the Beach, coming right up.
== You wanna dance? -- Sure!
Sure, it would be proforma and only because of Maxi. Do you think that's reprehensible?
No, why? You'd be married in the eyes of the law, but you'd still be able to do whatever you want.
Exactly! Try to explain that to Jessica.
She's going to realize it, in time.
I hope so.
We'd still have a different problem, then... well, it's my problem, really.
I'm still Hagen's wife.
To be able to marry again and adopt Maxi...
I'd have to pronounce him dead.
Just imagine anything were to happen to Jessica. What would happen to Max?
Yeah, you see? Which is exactly why I have to adopt him! And that won't work without marrying!
I know...
I'd have to pronounce Hagen dead.
I don't want that, but there's no way around it.
I have to go, Christian, Jessica's coming back, uhm... maybe I'll catch her on the right foot, now! Okay, bye!
== Not at this time of day! -- They're all asleep!
No, they're not.
== Hi! -- Hey!
Won't you introduce us?
This is Dana, Julian. Julian, Dana.
Allright, now that you've met, let's go!
== Is that the lesbian friend who wants to marry you? -- Pssst!
Okay!
== Morning! -- Hi!
I'm sorry about what Julian said, yesterday. We were just so drunk and crazy.
No problem, I wasn't mad.
It's not even so bad, being taken for a lesbian, now and then.
== You got a minute? -- Sure.
What's this?
With this... I can pronounce Hagen dead.
Sorry, I don't understand.
This whole time, you didn't want that, so why do you want it, now?
Believe me, it is the last thing I want to do, yet, if I don't let go of Hagen, I can't be there for Maxi.
If I don't pronounce Hagen dead... I'm never going to be able to adopt Maxi.
But you're not doing this so we can get married after, are you?
== I know you still got a problem with that, now, but... -- Hold on a minute! Stop!
== Jessica, if I can do THIS, you can also... -- Just because you make a sacrifice, I have to nearly die of awe and do whatever you want?!
== That's blackmail! -- No, it's not! I'm only doing this for Max!
== Sorry if I'm interrupting anything... -- You're not.
It does look as though you have to clarify something with your friend.
Friend?!
She's not a friend! She's just the wife of the missing man who impregnated me!
