"There you go again, Lester this is all your fault. When Steph has this baby you are to never touch her again. That's an order." yelled Ranger.

"Getting a might touchy are we Ranger. That is probably your pregnancy hormones speaking. AND by the way, that order will never be followed."

Said Steph. "Suck it up."

"This is impossible"

"It can't be done!"

"Well, I can't seem to coordinate the breathing and the hissing."

"It's not hissing it's sh..sh..sh it's supposed to be cleansing breaths."

"Lester, I'm going to clean your clock if you don't shut up."

"Ranger, you've had a child – don't you remember any of this?"

"YES, I remember I wasn't there !"

"Well, I am going to be there. Little Santos is going to see me there smiling."

"Most likely with two black eyes if I have anything to do with it!"

"Ranger, your pregnancy hormones are flaring again!"

"Shut up Brown! Where are Tank and Hal?"

"In the bathroom again."

"I think they are using that as an excuse. No one has to go that much…."

Whistle blowing and Lula shouts..

"Will you listen to yourselves! I have never heard such whining and complaining…TANK! HAL! Get your asses out here NOW! Are you trying to hide in the bathroom …Don't make me come in there and get you! I Will Come in there and I will bring Hector with ME! GET OUT HERE NOW! I'M Coming in….."

"Lula Baby…"

"Don't Lula Baby me Tank. Get your asses down on that floor and start breathing! We are on a schedule. Don't you roll your eyes at me Mr. Brown-this is your exercise and your schedule."

"Now just a minute Lula, I own this company…."

"Are you sure you want to start something with me Mister Ranger Manoso. I would think about that if I were you ….I think I know someone who would be willing to teach you a thing about respect."

"Are you threatening me Lula."

"In the words of all our mothers, that is not a threat Mister! That is a promise!"

"Mothers? Did she say Mothers?"

"Are you afraid of your mothers Gentlemen?"

"Hell Yes!" they shouted in unison.

"Good! Now Mr. Brown you are going to demonstrate the forward and backward pelvic thrust exercises."

"Do I have to?"

"Your program, your exercise , yes you are going to demonstrate."

Steph and Cal run into the gym… "Bobby, there is something wrong with Lester.. He's just laying there in a fetal position muttering…"

"M… fau…I'mmmm…s….m….fau….

"What's he saying Bobby? What's wrong with him?"

"I don't know Bomber. He seems to be in some sort of breakdown. Let's check his blood sugar." said Bobby reaching for his medic bag that Cal was holding.

"M…I'mmmmm…s…..m….fau….."

"His blood sugar is low…"

"It's probably because of your pineapple upside down substitution…a man can't live on sugar free lime jello….maybe you ought to check all of us" yelled Tank.

"Stifle it Pierre!" yelled Ranger.

Next thing Tank and Hal are trying to have a fight but their bellies are in the way and they are just rolling around the floor. Hal lands on his back and can't roll on his side. Tank starts to sit and point to Hal who looks like a turtle who can't right himself. Lula tries to help but starts to laugh.

Steph kneeling by Lester's side starts to sob loud sobs with tears streaming down her face. Ranger just sits and shakes his head and then….

There is a gym full of women led by Ella. It is ….

The MOTHERS!
