Here's the TV Guide ad for The Bachelor's Baby. The film was based on a true story. You can find more about this real life drama at the Bachelor Baby website. |
|
|
|
This was their first scene in the movie. Zachary showed up on the doorstep of his father's home with his mom. |
|
Jack, Zack's dad, told him that he wanted him to be his son, but he wasn't sure he was his father, because his mom might of been with someone else. Zack just smiled at him. |
|
|
|
Jack went to visit Zack at a children's home, after the state took him away from his mom. Jack called the room where the babies slept a "baby prison." |
|
|
|
Jack was holding Zack as he pulled out a picture of himself when he was a baby. He said to Zack, "Looks like we might be related kid." Jonathan/Thomas had the sweetest look on his face. |
|
|
|
Zack grabbed the picture and began to wrinkle it up as his dad held him very tightly. |
|
|
After Jack got approved for custody of Zack, he baby proofed everything. This was his golf cart. Zack was securely fastened in the car seat and it was attached to the golf cart. |
|
|
|
Zack had regular visits with his mom. She was too unstable to care for Zack. |
|
|
|
Jack took Zack to the park on a regular basis. Zack enjoyed playing ball with his dad. Jack was a little worn out after all the playing as you can see, but Zack was still ready to go. |
|
|
|
Zack wasn't hungry when his dad was trying to feed him. He would make funny faces and push the food away. |
|
|
Zack dropped his toy on the floor. As his dad went to get it, Zack pushed his food off the table. It was a bullseye hit, right on his dad's back. |
|
|
Zack thought this was pretty funny, he was cracking up. |
|
|
|
This was another time in the park. Jack was running up to Zack and tickling him. Zack seemed to love it. |
|
|
|
All that playing calls for a nap. |
|
Jack was getting ready to give Zack and bath when he heard the dog barking. He went to check on the dog and left Zack by the tub. Zack crawled over and closed the door. |
|
|
|
Jack ran outside to see if he could get into the bathroom from the window, because when Zack closed the door, the door locked. Zack was trying to get his turtle out of the water. |
|
|
Jack opened the door with a crowbar. As he ran in and grabbed Zack, he scared him. Zack was crying up a storm, tears and all. |
|
|
|
Jack was putting on a really good show for Zack, jumping all around. Zack watched in amazement. |
|
|
|
Zack really started laughing when Jack fell to the floor, he thought that was just the funniest thing. |
|
Jack was giving his son a bath. When he put him on the floor to dry him off, Zack crawled away, then stood up and walked out of the bathroom. These were his first steps. Jack was trying to catch his son with the video camera. |
|
|
|
This was one of Zack's milestones, so Jack wanted to make sure he had it on tape for his mom to see. It was a big mistake. He almost lost his son for it, because Zack was naked. Zack's uncle tried to say that Jack was making child pornography with his son. |
|
|
This was the last scene, when Zack was being pulled by his mom all over the backyard in a wagon. He was having lots of fun. |
|
|
|
This was Jonathan and Thomas' biggest role. They played a major part in the movie. Now if only DAYS would give them half as much airtime. |
