Mariska Hargitay

And what Nelson said to me when he first told me that night, when I asked him about my father, was that when they spoke, my dad said, Nelson, you don't have to tell me

who the father of this baby is.

And Nelson said to Mickey, you're the father of this baby because you're the one that wakes up with her in the middle of the night.

You're the one that takes care of her.

You're the one that will be there when she cries.

And that was so beautiful and so extraordinary because they did have an agreement.

And I think it was so honorable of Nelson never

to say anything, but the fact that there was this acknowledgement between the two men, so beautiful.

It was truly extraordinary to me and, you know, noble in that way.

And the irony is...

I feel like everyone made the right decision for me, and I have nothing but gratitude.

I look at how my father loved me, and I was his daughter.

I was his daughter, and I felt like that.

I'm the one who's most like him in my family.

I mean, all the kids are like him, but I've really adopted it in a way.

And then I look at Nelson, who I used to, again, just

Say, are you not thinking about me?

Do you not know about me?

Do you not care?

How can you not see me and see that we look exactly alike?
