Bayley knows Finn thinks she's a sentimental fool.


When Sami and Kevin offer to babysit for a long weekend, they're eager to accept. Time away from their kids is a rare treat. As much as they love their little brood- it's always nice to get away and just be together.


He offers her the world. Barbados? The best hotel in New York City? Paris? They can go anywhere- and he wants her to choose.


Bayley chooses Orlando.


She doesn't think he gets it. He just keeps asking her if she's sure. He'll take her anywhere and she chooses Florida?


She just nods, saying yes, she wanted to take Finn to Orlando.


Bayley wants to relive the beginning. They're as much in love now as they were then but life's changed. Priorities have shifted. Their kids come first.


She wants to remember what it was like when it was just the two of them- dreaming of the day they'd make it. That apartment had been small and shitty- but it had been their respite from the world.


Finally, the day arrives. They drop the kids off- there are a few tears but Kevin's so good with them that they soon stop. Then, it's off to the airport.


They avoid the theme parks. Finn's never been big on Disney, and if they're going to do that- he wants the kids with them. Bayley doesn't blame him. She wants to share that wonder with them.


Instead, they go back to their old haunts. He lets her lead, laughing at the sappiness of it all. They're on vacation with a huge suite at the city's best hotel... and yet, she has them driving through their old apartment complex.


As they turn out of the parking lot, she swears she catches a glimpse of their younger selves, walking down the paths they'd once known so well.


She hopes they know their hard work will all be worth it.


One day, they'll laugh at the life they used to lead.
