Esther: (Whispering) Nebby? Nebby, wake up.
(Mr. Nezzer yawns then looks at the clock then turns to Esther sleepily)
Mr. Nezzer: (Yawns) Esther, sweetheart, it's 2:00 in the morning. What's going on?
Esther: We're-We're gonna have to go to the hospital.
(Mr. Nezzer opens his eyes fully then looks slightly concerned)
Mr. Nezzer: The hospital? Why?
Esther: Well...because my water broke.
(Mr. Nezzer's eyes widen then he quickly sits up)
Mr. Nezzer: (Panicked) What?!
(Mr. Nezzer rolls off the bed)
Esther: Are you okay?
(Mr. Nezzer quickly gets up)
Mr. Nezzer: I'm fine, don't worry about me.
(Mr. Nezzer quickly goes over to Esther then helps her stand up)
Mr. Nezzer: How far are the contractions?
Esther: Not too close together.
(Esther bites back a groan then doubles over then Mr. Nezzer quickly holds her steady)
Esther: Maybe they're a little closer than I thought.
Mr. Nezzer: (Worriedly) Alright. Don't-don't panic. Just-just remember your breathing exercises. Where's the bag? I-I need to call the hospital...
Esther: Nebby. Relax. The's bag's already packed and in the closet. Try and get Bob or Larry to call 9-1-1. Let's go ahead and drive over there, okay?
(Mr. Nezzer nods)
Mr. Nezzer: (Sighs) Okay.
(Esther suddenly groans then Mr. Nezzer holds her steady then Esther looks over at Mr. Nezzer with a pained smile)
Esther: Nebby?
Mr. Nezzer: (Worriedly) Yes?
Esther: We're...we're having a baby.
(Mr. Nezzer then smiles warmly then looks down at Esther's belly then back up at her then kisses her then nods)
Mr. Nezzer: We're having a baby.
Esther: I love you.
Mr. Nezzer: I love you too.
(Esther and Mr. Nezzer kiss then Esther quickly pulls away then yelps in pain)
Mr. Nezzer: We'd better get you to the car. I think our baby wants out.
Esther: Good idea.
(Esther opens the closet door then gives the bag to Mr. Nezzer then nods)
Esther: Let's go.

Archibald: The kids are all tucked in.
Petunia: (Giggles) They could barely keep their eyes open. Probably too much fun from the party.
Archibald: (Chuckles) I don't blame them.
(Archibald gets on the bed then moves over to Petunia)
Archibald: I'm pretty tired myself.
Petunia: Same here.
(Archibald kisses Petunia's cheek then looks down at her belly then back up at her)
Archibald: How are you feeling, darling?
Petunia: Fine. (Sighs) But the baby's kicking is sort of starting to hurt.
Archibald: (Worriedly) Are you sure it's not contractions?
(Petunia shrugs then shakes her head)
Petunia: Doubt it. The doctor said I'm not due till two more weeks.
(Archibald eyes Petunia skeptically)
Archibald: I don't know...maybe we should go to the hospital.
Petunia: Archie, relax, I'm okay, we're both okay.
(Petunia kisses Archibald slowly then pulls away then they press their foreheads together)
Petunia: You worry too much sometimes.
(Archibald brushes Petunia's hair away from her eyes)
Archibald: I know but I wouldn't if I didn't love you or our baby so much.
Petunia: (Giggles) We love you too.
(Archibald and Petunia kiss then Archibald moves one of his pillows behind Petunia's back)
Archibald: All better?
Petunia: (Sighs) Much.
(Petunia kisses Archibald's cheek)
Petunia: Thanks.
Archibald: Anytime.
Petunia: But I do actually wish they were contractions. (Looks down at her belly, smiling) I just can't wait to meet them.
Archibald: (Chuckles) I know the feeling.
(Archibald scoots closer to Petunia then kisses her belly then presses close to it)
Archibald: (To Petunia's belly, softly) Do you hear that, you? We're ready to meet you, dear. Anytime now. You're starting to make Mommy uncomfortable and we also just can't wait to hold you.
(Petunia looks down at Archibald near her belly smiling lovingly then she gasps quietly and winces then Archibald looks up over at her)
Archibald: (Worriedly) Petunia? Are you alright, darling?
Petunia: Y-Yeah. The baby's kicking's just starting to escalate, that's all.
(Archibald eyes Petunia concerned then moves back down to her belly then presses close to it then he feels the baby kick then looks up at Petunia flinching then frowns then moves back up to Petunia)
Archibald: Sweetheart, maybe we should go ahead to the hospital.
Petunia: (Sighs) I told you Archie, I'm fine.
Archibald: Love...
(Petunia suddenly groans loudly then doubles over then Archibald quickly holds her steady then looks at her panicked)
Archibald: What is it? What's going on?
Petunia: (Groans) The baby's kicking won't stop now.
(Archibald quickly pulls off the covers then he and Petunia look down and gasp when they see a large puddle of water)
Archibald: (Panicked) Dear, that wasn't kicking at all, those were contractions, you're in labor!
Petunia: But...but the baby's not due yet.
Archibald: Well, apparently, somebody's not waiting any longer.
(Archibald quickly gets off the bed then goes over to Petunia then helps her stand up)
Petunia: Archie...I'm scared. What if something's wrong with the baby?
(Archibald presses his forehead to Petunia's)
Archibald: (Softly) Nothing is going to happen to our baby. Everything's going to be alright.
(Petunia nods smiling then Archibald kisses her)
Archibald: I'm going to wake up the kids. Will you be alright till I get back?
Petunia: Yeah. But hurry.
(Archibald quickly pecks Petunia on the lips)
Archibald: I'll be back in a few seconds, if you need me, I'm down the hall.
Petunia: Okay.
(Archibald kisses Petunia's forehead)
Archibald: I love you.
(Archibald quickly leaves the room then Petunia looks down at her belly then shakes her head amicably)
Petunia: (To her belly) You just couldn't wait two more weeks, could you?
