Speaker 4: on the first floor coming from Karen's bedroom. The younger

19
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:02,800

27
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:26,560
Speaker 3: ready to be a dad, but she's grateful for the

28
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:29,520
Speaker 3: blessing he gave her. Karen continues to care for the

29
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:33,280
Speaker 3: siblings alongside her baby boy, but after his birth, the

30
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:36,039

36
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:53,920
Speaker 3: looks strikingly similar to their oldest son. Their daughter's reaction

37
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:57,240
Speaker 3: to that comment sparks an interrogation, and she gives them
