No.

No, you breastfeed the baby, Jason.

I have another call.

Maggie? Too late, Jason. I already
scrubbed my own back.

Honey, do you know what time it is?

Hi. Hi.

We're going to do this again, and this
time we really need to believe your

confusion. All right?

In five seconds. Four, three, two,
and...

Who was that?

And what are these TV cameras doing in
our bathroom?

I feel so good.

Honey, you're not pregnant.

Of course I'm not pregnant.

But you were last night. You've been
pregnant for the last four months.

Excuse me, honey. You're blocking my
shot.

Honey, you're pregnant for four months
and suddenly you step into the shower

now you're not?

Oh, Jason, you must have dreamed all
that.

That couldn't be, honey. That only
happens on television.

Bad television.

Look at this.

I'm going to tell the studio I want that
hairdresser fired.

I don't care how many kids she's
supporting.

Oh, Jason. Jason.

What? What? Look at me. What? Look.

Oh, I'm pregnant.

I know.

I was there when it happened.

Oh, it was a dream.

Thank you.

Not that. What I dreamed.

Oh. What did you dream?

I stepped out of the shower and suddenly
I wasn't pregnant.

Everything that had happened in the last
four months had been changed.

Oh, that only happens on television.

Bad television.

Not necessarily.

dream could mean that you have some
mixed emotions about being pregnant oh

i am thrilled about having another baby
i am happy i am proud i want the whole

world to know can't tell i'm pregnant in
this can you i mean i can't even tell

you're a woman in there so you hate it
no no no no it's nice you're lying well

you didn't say you were going to look at
some nice maternity clothes

Jason, how can I buy maternity clothes?
I have no time between work and home and

getting the nursery ready. Yeah, when's
your boss going to let you slow down a

little bit after the baby's born?

Well... What did he say when you told
him you were pregnant?

Well, not that much, really. Uh -huh.

Uh -huh what? You still haven't even
told him, have you? Oh, Jason, you think

you know me so well. Yes, I do.

Okay. It just hasn't been the right time
yet. Well, I'll tell you when the wrong

time will be. It'll be next week when
you're in a leotard doing your series on

aerobics. Oh, so you prefer I wear
something baggy?

Oh, honey, I just... You know what I
think? I think you are the one who's

uncomfortable with me being pregnant.

What? How else do you explain your
dream?

It was your dream.

Oh.

I think the sooner you tell your boss
you're having a baby, the better.

You're right. Good. I will definitely
tell him today. That's my girl.

If I see him. Oh.

Boy, this is great. We get a whole
school day off.

I love teacher conferences.

Yeah, we need more of them.

What do you think those teachers talk
about all day?

You, Ben.

What?

Morning.

School books on a holiday? Even nerds
don't do that.

To your information, these happen to be
books of names. I'm preparing a list of

suggestions for my new sister.

Sister? Carol, you're wasting your time.
It's going to be a boy.

If it's another boy, you can name him
whatever you want. I'm leaving home.

You promise?

Come on, relax.

I was just kidding. Those teachers
aren't talking about you.

Oh, it's going to be so neat.

Dressing her in cute little clothes,
taking her for a walk.

Having him barf on you.

Babies do that? Yeah, it's one of the
nicer things that they do.

Did I do that when I was a baby?

Yeah, all over me.

Put her there, bro.

Just wait. When the new baby gets here,
you both... they're going to have to

clean up your acts. Big deal.

You'll think it's a big deal when Mom
can't save you with that baby defense

anymore. Baby defense?

Yeah, you know.

Oh, Jason, go easy on him. He's our
baby.

And face it, Ben, you do a lot of dumb
baby things. You take that back!

Ben, don't play with your food. You're
not a baby.

Your father's right, Ben.

You better have more than that. You're
eating for two.

So has Ben.

Thank you, Jason.

Bye, kids. Enjoy your day off. And don't
you forget, today's the day... Yes, I

will talk to my boss. I promise. You
want it written in blood?

Sorry, I've got to go.

Well, your mother's feeling a little
tense.

A little? Good thing she didn't have a
gun.

Well, she's pregnant, tired, and
overworked. Who isn't?

I understand.

I mean, it must be very difficult to
have a baby in the autumn of your life.

Ooh, don't you ever, ever, never say
that to your mother.

Gotcha. I wish there was something we
could do for her. You know, make her

good. She's been so worried lately about
getting ready for the baby, decorating

the nursery. Dad, that's it.

Dad, we could decorate the nursery
today.

That's not a bad idea.

Thank you.

But, Dad, I had big stuff to do today.

Wouldn't you like to do something nice
for your mother?

Do I have a toy? No.

Sure. What about you, Mike?

Well, actually, I was planning on
spending the entire day studying.

I'd love to help.

But great.

This is really going to cheer her up.
We're going to take that guest room,

it into the best -looking nursery she
ever saw.

Come on, let's go.

Good thinking, Carol.

Thank you.

Yeah, good thinking, Carol. Now you just
ruined the whole day for all of us.

That was my plan.

Twelve.

What's...

Well, I never thought of this before,
but the guest room's all the way down

hall. So?

Well, your mom and I have to be much
closer to the nursery.

But all the other rooms are taken.

Well, we just might have to do some
rearranging.

I'll be right back.

Rearranging? Oh, no. Who's going to lose
their room?

What?

Mike, what matters is what's good for
the baby.

Good. Then you give up your room.

Well, if that's the decision, then
that's the decision.

Carol, telephone.

Betty, look, we've got to move fast
here. Move? You mean we're out? No, no,

no. I just mean that we've got to make
sure that you don't wind up in the guest

room. Why would I wind up in the guest
room?

Well, think about it, Ben. Whose room is
closer to Mom's than Dad's?

Yours.

Okay, but between the two of us, which
has the least physical damage?

Mine. Right.

Oh, no.

Yeah, and I bet Carol is pointing that
out to Dad right now.

I would do anything to get out of that
guest room.

Me too. It's got fruity wallpaper and
smells like grandma.

I just wish that there was some way that
we could make sure that... Oh, wait a

minute.

Oh, now that's too crazy.

No, it isn't. Let's do it. What is it?
Okay, all right. You volunteer to give

your room.

It is too crazy. Betty, Betty, listen
here. Now, Dad will be so touched.

that you offered your room to the baby,
that he'll reward you and let you pick

any other bedroom in the house.

Great, I'll take yours.

Come on, think about it. Who has the
biggest bedroom in the house?

Mom and Dad.

Okay, second biggest.

Carol. Right.

I know this is an ugly thing to do, Ben,
but with the baby coming, these are

ugly times.

Okay, where were we?

Dad, I want the baby to have my room.

Oh, that's very unselfish of you, Ben.
I'm touched.

I just want what's ever best for the
baby.

You mean that?

Cross my heart.

Well, you know, your room and Mike's are
both so close, that was going to be a

toss -up.

It was?

Yes, but your generosity, Ben, has made
a tough decision easy for me.

And I want you to know that just as soon
as we finish the baby's room, we'll get

to work on fixing up the guest room for
you.

Okay?

All right, Benny, we tried.

Oh, come on.

Thelma, will you tell me the minute Mr.
Tittlevich is off the phone?

Yeah, it won't be long. He's just
talking to Shauna about when she's

from maternity leave.

Oh, how's her baby?

Shauna says that he's finally sleeping
through the night. Oh.

You sure you're up to going through all
that again?

Oh, definitely. It's all part.

Of course I know.

It's Shauna all over again.

Wearing baggy clothes, running to the
bathroom every five minutes.

Saying, oh, every time somebody mentions
the baby.

Freaking out about telling Mr.

Sidlovich. Oh, I am not freaking out. I
was just waiting for the right time.

This is the right time.

You know, when Shauna finally told him
about her baby, he was thrilled.

Really? Maggie, he's a family man
himself. He's a pussycat.

Mr. Sidlovich, I just need one moment of
your time. Maggie, one second.

Thelma, send out a memo.

Shauna Small will not be returning to
the Channel 19 anchor desk having

to stay at home with her new baby, if
you can believe that garbage.

Effective immediately, any woman who
works at Channel 19 who gets pregnant

be fired.

Cordially, Sid Sidlovich.

Sir, you can't do that.

I don't want to do it. I just wanted to
say it.

Well, Maggie, what did you want to see
me about?

Oh, I just wanted to say, uh, have a
nice day.

Isn't she sweet?

All right, guys. Great job.

Just bring those paint cans out to the
garage. when you're finished. Wait till

your mom gets up. She sees it. She's
going to be so happy. She's going to cry

like a baby.

So, you're never going to talk to me
again?

Never. You just did.

Starting now.

You did it again.

Stop it, Mike.

All right, all right. Come on, Benny.
Here, look. Now, consider what I've done

to you a valuable lesson in learning how
to look out for yourself once you've

been replaced as the baby in the family.

I'm going to tell Dad.

Tell Dad what?

Ah, nothing, nothing. He's
hallucinating. I think he's been into

phase.

Mike said that if I gave up my room, Dad
would give me yours.

What? Well, all he was doing was fixing
it, so his room was getting more and

more stuff.

Hold it, hold it, hold it. Whatever this
is about, it can wait. Now, your

mother's on her way up the stairs. When
she gets here, we all yell surprise,

okay?

Jason? Yes, we're up in Ben's room.

Not anymore.

Surprise!

Yeah, yeah.

You did all this? Yeah, well, not just
myself. It was everybody.

Everybody?

Except me.

Honey?

She loves it.

I just don't get it. I thought you'd be
so pleased we picked up the nursery. Oh,

with a nice gesture, Jason.

Even with the hideous drapes.

But what kind of a mother am I going to
be if I don't even have time to take

part in getting the nursery ready?

You're a great one, honey, a sensational
one.

She just doesn't have any taste in
drapes.

A great mother would have been able to
tell her boss she was pregnant.

What?

I chickened out.

Honey, why are you so afraid to tell
him? I am not afraid. I know what it is.

I'm just...

Well, what are you so afraid, so scared
of?

Well, I don't know. That he'll treat me
like I'm pregnant and things are going

to change. I mean, of course things are
going to change. But I don't want them

to change. I'm finally fitting in at
work, doing a great job.

But, sweetheart, we just have to face
it.

Now, we're going to have to make some
adjustments.

What adjustments?

Well, like reducing my patient load.

Can you do that? Of course I can.

I just have to start curing those
nutso's fast.

What? It's a joke, honey.

But we've never talked about you scaling
down your practice before.

I just never thought of it before. Well,
shouldn't you have thought of it

before? I guess. I don't know. Oh,
great. This kid doesn't have a chance.

He's got a terrible mother and a
thoughtless jokester for a father.

All right, Benny, I'll admit it. My plan
didn't work out perfectly.

Oh, sure it did.

Hey, come on, Benny. I got the best of
motives here. I mean, I wanted Carol to

get the short end of the stick.

Ben, you see what happens when you trust
Mike?

You end up in the guest room.

A guest in your own home.

And boy, you might as well just go rent
an apartment or something.

Not bad,

Carol. Not bad.

When Mom and Dad find out about this,
and I promise you, They will.

You will be in deep, deep trouble.

Look, don't start blaming Ben's housing
problems on me.

Whose fault is it?

I think we both know the answer to that
one.

You're blaming this on an unborn child?

Hey, let's look at the facts here,
Carol. I mean, so far, this kid, who I

personally don't even know yet, hasn't
said everybody.

It is going to be a girl.

Mike, I'll pray for you.

Look, Carol, I mean, nobody bothered to
ask me how I felt about having a new kid

around this house.

Well, so nobody asked Ben or me either.

Well, all I'm saying is, I mean, if we
have family meetings about vacations,

shouldn't we have had one about this?

You're right.

Yeah. You know what I think?

I think Mom and Dad are trying to sneak
this new kid by.

Well, Mike, we should still have a
family meeting. I mean, we obviously

lot to discuss.

I bet Mom and Dad will think it's a
great idea, too.

They love it when we want to
communicate.

And I'll be the one who proposed it.

Okay, okay, here's the answer to that
problem.

When the baby cries at night, I'll be
the one who gets it. No, no, no, no. You

have to look good in front of that news
camera. When you sleep, you look like

death warmed over.

A nice death.

But, Jason...

Jason, you have to get your sleep, too.
You have patients every morning.

Oh, sure, but when I look like hell in
the morning, my patients feel better

about themselves.

Isn't that my job?

Oh, but what if you resent scaling down
your practice? What if you resent me?

What if you resent the baby?

Oh, Maggie.

Mom, Dad, we need to see for a family
meeting right now. I fear for the future

of this family.

Mike, we're a little busy. Yeah, but
Dad, we need to... Another time, Mike.

Mom, Dad, we really need to see for a
family meeting immediately.

Trust me.

Carol, let your mother just explain to
Mike. Absolutely, Carol. Let's go.

What? Come on, Ed.

You heard your mother?

Living room, kitchen, one burr.

What the heck's a burr?

Hmm. Swimming pool, TV, refrigerator.

No laundry! All wrong!

What?

But, sweetheart, why?

Well, as long as I've locked my room, I
might as well get something nice without

flowers on the wall.

Well, how are you going to pay for this?

No problem. See, most of these ads say
first month's rent free. Well, I'll just

move every month.

I'd like to call the Seaver family
meeting to order.

I move that we talk about how Mike
conned Ben out of his room.

Carol, you have not been recognized. In
fact, I'm not even sure that's you at

all.

Mike, what did you do to Ben?

Dad, I don't believe that's the purpose
of this meeting here today. I think what

we should be talking about is this baby
man.

Baby man?

Mike, this baby is a blessed event.

With a sergeant in arms, please escort
this lady out.

Mom, Dad, Mike hates the baby.

What? No, no, no, no. You have me
confused with Ben.

Ben? I just want my room back.

But you volunteered to give it up,
didn't you?

This meeting is adjourned. Thank you
very much for coming.

It is not.

Mike, get back in here.

Kids, this new baby is going to change
things around here, and some of them are

going to be wonderful, some of them
aren't. All you two can think about is

yourselves. Personally, I'm going to
love everything about this baby.

Even coming home straight after school
to help out?

Of course.

This wouldn't be every day, would it?

No, but Carol, are you ready for things
like changing dirty diapers?

Oh, I thought Ben would do that.

Why me? Because my instinct tells me
you'd be good at it.

Dink is right.

Carol, you will be doing your share of
changing dirty diapers.

Ew.

Let the record show that Miss Blessed
Event here said, quote, ew.

All right, now every member of this
family is going to have to make some

sacrifices here.

Me too? Yes, you too.

You're going to have to get used to the
new stereo policy.

Okay, okay, all right. My show will be
turned off every night by 11 p .m.

1 a .m. tops.

That's not what we had in mind.

Okay, midnight it is. You can count on
me.

There will be no music while the baby is
asleep, day or night.

Day or night? What's left?

Ben, how do you feel about making
sacrifices?

Fine with me. I'm going to be hanging
out in my duplex.

I'm still not clear how Ben lost his
room.

Mike conned me out of it.

Let the record show Mike and I will talk
later, during moonlighting.

You have to suffer when you're the one
having the baby.

Ben, you kids aren't the only ones being
asked to sacrifice around here. Your

father's going to rearrange his whole
practice.

And your mother's going to take time off
from a job she's just getting used to.

Well, if this baby's messing everybody
up, then why are you having it?

Why?

Yeah, why?

Yeah, well, I never thought about
putting it into words.

That's not easy to do.

So you guys don't know either?

Oh, no, no, no. We know. Well,

I guess because the baby is as close to
a miracle as we're ever going to get.

And having each one of you was the most
wonderful thing to ever happen to your

father and me.

Thank you, Mom. That's really beautiful.

Especially the way you include Mike.

Carol. Does that answer your question,
babe? No.

No. Jason?

Yes, well, uh, well, Ben, uh, your
mother and I, we believe there's nothing

the world more important than our
family. We sure do.

Not work, or losing sleep.

Not me reducing my patient load.

Nothing.

Oh, honey, why didn't we come up with
all this upstairs? I don't know.

Oh, Jason, this baby's gonna be great.

That doesn't answer my question either.

I think what Ben's trying to ask here
is, what's in this baby deal for us?

What's in it for you?

It was Ben's question.

Why, everything.

The same that's in it for us.

Now, you guys insult each other more
than anybody I know, but I'd also bet my

soul that deep down underneath all of
that, each one of you loves each other.

Now, Carol, how would you really feel if
there were no Mike?

Huh?

And Ben, how would you really feel if
there were no Carol?

Huh?

And Mike, what would you really feel
if... Don't you say one word as far as

sense of humor goes.

I just think we are all going to have a
new person to love.

And once he or she is here, we'll wonder
how we ever lived without her.

Or him.

Ben, does that answer your question?

I think so.

when Mom had the baby, we're all
pregnant?

Well, you couldn't be more right, Ben.

This is so sweet.

Mike, are you crying too?

No, it's your feet.

I

can't

remember when I was more proud.

Yeah, they are finally, truly excited
about the baby.

And you were wonderful.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Honey, who are you calling at this hour?
Oh, my doctor, it's time. What?

Just kidding.

My boss.

Why don't you call him tomorrow?

No, I don't want to put this off
another... Hello, this is Maggie.

I'm calling to tell you I'm pregnant.

I'm four months along, but if you still
want to put me in a leotard next week...

I'm game.

This isn't 5 -5 -5 -1 -2.
