[calming music]

And then I m just like,

But I m having a good time.

You know? I m really enjoying it.

It s a journey that s never gonna end, you know?

Like it just continues even afterwards

so I m looking forward to it.

Okay, so we start with our quote

and then we go downstairs to a balcony shot.

You love a good balcony.

I knew it was gonna happen.

[calming music continues] [camera shutter clicking]

I m looking forward to being a teacher

but mostly being a student

cause I think I m gonna be learning

more from my kid than I could ever teach them.

My God, this is- - Historic.

[Rihanna laughing] [calming music continues]
