Ellen: (Giggles) Don't worry, Jimmy. It's kinda important I eat like this.
Jimmy: Why?
Ellen: Well, I guess now is as good time as any to tell you.

Jimmy: You guys wanna join us? The more, the merrier.
Larry: Wish we could but we're taking our food to go since we've got to get Moe over to the daycare while I'm over at my job interview.
Ellen: Oh, so you're going to have a job now instead?
Vicki: We figured it'd be better if we switched things around since Larry's starting to look thrashed nowadays.
Jimmy: (Chuckles) A toddler'll do that to ya.
Ellen: Y-Yeah. (Turns to Larry) Larry, can I talk to you for a second?
Larry: Okay.

Ellen: Yeah. I found out yesterday.
Larry: Congratulations, Ellen. How far along?
Ellen: About 2 months.
Larry: Wow. Have you told Jimmy yet?
Ellen: I was about to (sighs) now I'm beginning to have doubts whether he's ready or not.
Larry: Jimmy would make a great dad, Ellen.
Ellen: But he just said having a toddler will make you exhausted.
Larry: Aw, that doesn't mean nothing. I'm sure Jimmy's gonna be excited about this.
(The two look over and see Moe squirming in his seat and babbling then Jimmy picks up Moe's rattle from the table then shows it to him)
Jimmy: (Cooing) Is this what you're looking for, buddy?

Larry: See? He's a natural.
Ellen: (Sighs) I just hope he can handle two.
(Larry's eyes widen then Ellen nods then they continue looking over at Jimmy distracting Moe)
Vicki: Gee Jimmy, it's almost like you were made to be a dad.
Jimmy: (Chuckles) Well, it has always been a dream of mine. Me and Ellen have been praying to be parents for quite awhile.
(Ellen gasps quietly then Larry turns to her)
Larry: (Whispering) It sounds like he's more ready than ever. Go on Ellen. Tell him.
Ellen: (Sighs) Okay.
(Ellen and Larry go back over to the table then Vicki stands up then picks up Moe)

Jimmy: Thanks, buddy.
(Larry and Vicki leave the diner then Jimmy turns to Ellen)
Jimmy: (Sighs) If only it were so. Don't worry Cupcake, it'll happen.
Ellen: Actually, Jimmy, I...
Jimmy: Oh, no. I just remembered. I gotta take Jerry's shift over at the construction site.
Ellen: Jimmy...
Jimmy: I'm really sorry I gotta cut our almost anniversary date short, babe. I promise I'll make it up to you tomorrow. We'll do whatever you want.
Ellen: But Jimmy...
(Jimmy quickly pecks Ellen on the lips)
Jimmy: I need to go. Love you.
Ellen: I...love you too, sweetie.

(Petunia stands up then groans)
Christina: (Worriedly) Mom, maybe it's better if you see the doctor today instead of tomorrow
Petunia: No. I'm okay, sweetheart.
Libby: Really, Mommy, you've got to. We're big enough to cross over the street by ourselves.
Junior: I think what's important right now is finding out what's wrong with you, Mom.
Petunia: (Sighs) Alright. Tell your Dad I might be a little late getting home.
Junior: Okay, Mom.

Bob: Woo-hoo!
(Bob hops on the stool then reaches up and kisses Katrina romantically then kisses her nose)
Bob: (Chuckles) I guessed a lot of things adding up to your symptoms but I didn't think about this.
Katrina: Me neither. We didn't exactly talk about it yet. (Sighs) I didn't even know if you wanted another kid since we already have Laura.
Bob: Sweetheart, this is what I've been dreaming about since we first got married.
Katrina: You mean that?
Bob: I do.
