Minutes after the wedding, the adoption agency tells Amy and Lino to come to the hospital. They meet the birth mother and take their daughter, Idalia, home. They adjust well to parenthood, and Amy returns to work to support the family while Lino stays home with Idalia.

In the fall of 2011, Idalia begins preschool. Work has kept Amy from spending more time with Idalia. She admits she feels like a bad mom and is jealous of Lino’s relationship with Idalia. Lino begins offering cooking classes, and Amy spends more time with Idalia and works on her art.
