A/N: I know that I have been making Dr. Cox a little bit mellower then he would normally be. I am trying to bring across that he had a lot of pent up anger at himself with the whole issue with Andrea and not being there for her. And now that they have fixed their relationship he is a little more laid back. I'm not trying to change his character and in the next up coming chapters I will be bringing back his bite. So please bear with me. I hope you enjoy this next installment. Please r & r!

INT. ANDREA AND JD'S APARTMENT. J.D. IS IN THE KITCHEN MAKING BREAKFAST. HE HAS A TRAY OUT AND BEGINS TO PUT THE FOOD ON TO IT. HE PICKS THE TRAY UP AND WALKS BACK INTO THE BEDROOM WITH IT.
J.D.: Everything in Andrea's and I relationship was finally going well. We were living together and not driving each other nuts. All of my friends were getting along with her and work was going great. Nothing could stand in our way.
ANDREA IS LYING IN THE BED WITH A SMILE ON HER FACE AND HE COMES OVER AND GIVES HER THE TRAY.
J.D.: yup nothing could stand in our way.
Andrea: Your cell phone was ringing so I answered it.
J.D.: Who was it?
Andrea: Your mom
J.D.: (nervously) and what did she want?
Andrea: You didn't tell me she was coming to visit!
J.D.: That's because ever since I got here she never had. What?
Andrea: You didn't know?
J.D.: No!
Andrea: Hmm… How come you never told me about your mom? She seemed to know a lot about me.
J.D.: Oh, we don't talk about you a lot.
Andrea: J.D., she told me where my 'spot' is.
J.D.: crap! We like to share everything with each other.
Andrea: And you were wrong… that's not my 'spot'
J.D.: Well then, you shouldn't pretend like it is…
Andrea: I only do so we can hurry up so I can watch Leno. Anyway, she will be coming Wednesday.
J.D.: What that's like two days away!
Andrea: And she will be staying here.
J.D.: Yup, like I was saying it couldn't get any worse.

INT. NURSES STATION CARLA IS SITTING DOWN AT THE DESK AND TURK IS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE COUNTER LOOKING AT PATIENTS CHARTS
Carla: It's three weeks late now… I think I'm just going to start pushing and maybe it will get a hint.
Turk: Baby, you can't do that you might hurt yourself.
Carla: It's going to hurt it more then its going to hurt me.
Turk: This isn't a race about who can have a baby first.
Carla: It's not fair, Dr. Cox and Jordan already have one kid, now they have two and we don't have any!
Turk: It'll come when it's ready.
Carla: Oh I am going to have this baby induced if it doesn't come out by tomorrow. (Gets up and runs to the bathroom)
Turk: (holds his hands like he is praying) Please God, just let it come tomorrow so I can have my wife back.
J.D.: Turk, I need some advice man.
Turk: Not, now J.D. I have to go ask Elliot to induce Carla. (Begins to walk off)
J.D.: She is already three weeks late; she can wait another five minutes.
Turk: (turns around and walks back to him) you're right. So what's up?
J.D.: My mom is coming into town in two days.
Turk: (excited) Mama Dorian is coming into town? I haven't seen her since the funeral (trails off)
J.D.: Yeah well I have a feeling the only reason she is coming here is to meet Andrea.
Turk: So, you love her right.
J.D.: yeah
Turk: And this has been one of your longest relationships.
J.D.: yeah
Turk: Then what's the problem?
J.D.: I'm afraid my mom is going to hate her.
Turk: Every mother hates their son's girlfriend. My mom and Carla still don't get along.
Carla: (walks back up) yeah she said that even if we do get the baby baptized it won't save it from hell because I'm satin.
Turk: See and you already know her parents.
J.D.: That's because I worked with them for five years.
Turk: And Dr. Cox still hates you.
J.D.: He doesn't hate me. He's my mentor.
TURK AND CARLA LAUGH
Turk: Just take the two of them out to dinner one night and then be done with it.
J.D.: Andrea offered to let her stay at our place.
Carla: Ooh… tough luck Bambi.

JORDAN'S EXAMINING ROOM
Elliot: So no one ever gave you a baby shower. Do you want me to throw one for you?
Jordan: You can't have one after the baby is born.
Elliot: We just thought that Carla was going to have hers first, you didn't find out till after her shower.
Jordan: Yeah I was three weeks pregnant then and the baby was premature.
Elliot: She was?
Jordan: Yeah but so was Jack, they'll be okay.
Elliot: How can you be so sure?
Jordan: Because this is the least of their problems. They have Perry and me for parents.
Elliot: True. But do you want any gifts or anything?
Jordan: Can you sneak me in some liquor? I haven't had any in nine months.
Elliot: I meant for the baby.
Jordan: Oh, well I could give her some too… make her sleep more and not keep me up all night.
Elliot: I'm not sure Dr. Cox or anyone else at the hospital would like that too much.
Jordan: I'm on the board of trustees, I run this hospital. And Perry won't care… Jack's already gotten drunk twice now and he is only three.
Elliot: Yeah…. I don't think so.
Jordan: Could you at least get me some sedatives?
Elliot: You'll have to talk to Dr. Matthews about that.
Jordan: (brightens up) Well send him in!
ELLIOT ROLLS HER EYES AND LEAVES.
Jordan: And make it snappy! I don't want him walking in while I'm breast feeding!

Perry: Tomorrow morning.
Andrea: Oh good, then J.D.'s mom can meet her.
Perry: J.D.'s mother is coming to visit.
Andrea: Yup, in two days
Perry: And you are excited about this?
Andrea: yeah, she is even going to stay at our place.
Perry: You think that is a good idea?
Andrea: Why not? I mean you and Jordan like J.D.
Perry: No, we tolerate him. And that is because we knew him alooooong time before you started shacking up with him.
Andrea: Well what should I do?
Perry: Well just tell him that his mom has to stay at a hotel.
Andrea: But I was the one that talked to her on the phone.
Perry: Well then you are screwed. Lauren, learn a lesson from your big sister. Don't ever shack up with one of the doctors here. Hell don't even let them treat you.
Andrea: Well if I am going to suffer so are you. We are going to have a big family dinner on Thursday night.
Perry: You can't make me.
Andrea: No but Jordan can.
Perry: Jordan would never agree to that.
Andrea: Oh I can make a deal with her… I know what sedatives she likes and what doses.
Perry: you are evil. Sometimes I can't tell if Jordan or you are worse. Wow, and now I have another daughter. Poor Jack, he is going to be tortured now that he has got one of you around his age.
Andrea: I'm sure that he is going to have a mouth on him like you once he starts talking more.

Turk: That's really smart… You know Carla and I used to do that.
KEITHS PAGER GOES OFF.
Keith: Yeah except when you ask them to place an IV in the guys arm and it ends up in his chest. Gotta go!
Turk: Wait!
Keith: Yeah?
Turk: Do you think you could induce Carla? She is driving me crazy.
Keith: You should really talk to Dr. Matthews about that.
Turk: I can't, that guy is so man pretty that I just want to deck him.
KEITH'S PAGER GOES OFF AGAIN.
Keith: I really got to go man.

Turk: I paid him off.
Elliot: Men are so stupid sometimes!
Andrea: So, J.D. I decided it would be a good idea to have on big family dinner on Thursday.
J.D.: Yeah… I don't think so.
Andrea: (angry) Why not?
J.D.: Uh… think fast, come up with any excuse. Because my brother won't be able to make it so it won't be much of a dinner.
Andrea: Oh I took care of that already. Dan is flying in with your Mom! Isn't that great?
J.D.: I have to work Thursday.
Elliot: I already told Andrea I would cover it for you.

ANDREA GOES INTO JORDAN'S HOSPITAL ROOM
Andrea: I got a deal to make with you.
Jordan: What is it?
Andrea: I know how bad you want those sedatives.
Jordan: I'm listening.
Andrea: I'll give them to you if you can get Perry into going to a family dinner with J.D.'s mom and brother.
Jordan: Do I have to go?
Andrea: I would like it if you could be there with Jack and Lauren.
Jordan: Deal.
ANDREA INJECTS SEDATIVES INTO JORDAN'S IV
Jordan: jokes on you though, I would have made him go even if you didn't give me the drugs.
Andrea: Not really, this stuff is going to knock you out until you are released from the hospital. So you stop bothering Elliot and the nursing staff.
JORDAN FALLS ASLEEP AND ANDREA SMILES

Elliot: And that's why I'm covering for you.
J.D.: (to Andrea) it's always going to be like this isn't it?

Janitor: so you going to do anything to embarrass him? Cause I got tons off stuff you could use. Just say the word and I'll help.
Perry: Nah, that's okay. He has been getting it hard enough from Andrea lately, he needs a break.
Janitor: Since when do you care how he feels?
Perry: Since he started dating my daughter. But don't tell him that.
Janitor: Why would I want to tell him anything that would make him happy?

Elliot: So… um… when am I going to meet your family?

Elliot: Yeah! We have been dating longer then Andrea and J.D. and I think that if we are really serious about us that it would be a good idea.
Keith: Well… you could come home with me for Christmas.
Elliot: I would love too!

DOCTORS LOUNGE
Andrea: Alright J.D. I know you aren't happy about my parents meeting your mom. But I didn't do it because I was trying to scare you… its just that I am nervous about meeting your mom and I thought if Perry was there it would take some tension off of me. And with you being nervous about me meeting your mom is making me more nervous.
J.D.: I really never thought that my actions were going to influence her so much. And then I thought about what Turk said and I really didn't care anymore. My mom might have high standards, but I'm happy with you and that's all that matters. If my mom loves me, then she will love you.
Andrea: Aww, that's like the second cheesiest thing you have said in the past month!
J.D.: (puts his arm around her) but I am getting better.
Andrea: (nods) Yes you are.
J.D.: Then I realized that I wasn't scared about her meeting my mother, I was scared that I never thought I was ever going to have a girl to meet my mother.
