A daughter in the womb hears her mother sing to her. She starts to wonder what their life would be like and creates scenarios like buying a toy at the store, making food together and her mother doing her hair. But as the memories replay, we find that those memories were not all hugs and kisses.

The daughter cries to her mother, asking why she would ever do those things to her. But she soon starts to understand her mother. Although not fully forgiving her, she now understands that the love she had in the womb would never be the same as when she grows up.
