(The next scene is inside the hospital, in the waiting room. Mr. Nezzer and Esther are sitting in chairs waiting then Mr. Nezzer turns and sees Esther looking distracted causing him to frown in concern)
Mr. Nezzer: (Worriedly) Is anything wrong, Essie?
(Esther turns to Mr. Nezzer)
Esther: Oh, no Nebby, nothing's wrong. I've just been thinking about something strange...
Mr. Nezzer: What's that?
Esther: Well, since I'm in the 7th month of my pregnancy, the baby should start to kick and move around more. (Looks down at her belly) But...it hasn't done that yet.
Mr. Nezzer: Huh.
(Mr. Nezzer leans over towards Esther's belly then kisses it)
Mr. Nezzer: (To Esther's belly, cooing) Well, maybe you're just a little bit delayed in doing that, babykins. But that's okay. You know why? Because you're our little baby-boo and we love you. Yes, Daddy and Mommy love you a lot.
(Mr. Nezzer sits back up then kisses Esther's cheek)
Mr. Nezzer: I think for now we should focus on being excited that we're gonna find out if we're having a daughter or son.
(Esther smiles then leans against Mr. Nezzer)
Esther: I couldn't have said that better myself.
(The nurse comes into the waiting room)
Nurse: Mrs. Nezzer?
(Mr. Nezzer stands up then helps Esther stand up)
Nurse: Welcome back. If you'll just follow me again to the ultrasound room.
(Esther and Mr. Nezzer follow the nurse down the hall to the ultrasound room)
(The next scene is inside the ultrasound room, Esther is already laying down on the exam table with Mr. Nezzer at her side and Mrs. Clark beside the ultrasound machine)
Mrs. Clark: So, Esther dear, this is your 7th month follow-up, am I right?
Esther: That's right, Mrs. Clark.
Mr. Nezzer: (Hopeful) Will we finally be able to see if we're having a boy or a girl?
Mrs. Clark: For sure. Let me just squirt the gel on you Esther and we'll figure it out.
(Mrs. Clark invisibly rolls up Esther's top enough to expose her swollen belly then Mr. Nezzer leans over to it)
Mr. Nezzer: (To Esther's belly, cooing) We're about to find out, sweetie.
(Mr. Nezzer gently kisses Esther's belly then goes back over to Esther's side then kisses her then her forehead)
Esther: (Exhales) Here we go.
Mr. Nezzer: Here we go.
(Mrs. Clark squirts the gel onto Esther's belly making her shiver slightly then Mr. Nezzer kisses her forehead then Mrs. Clark turns on the ultrasound machine then places the probe onto Esther's belly then begins moving it around)
Mrs. Clark: Looking for the womb now. And...There we go. Alright. Now let's see if we can find the baby.
(Mrs. Clark continues circling the probe around Esther's belly then she turns to Esther and Mr. Nezzer smiling)
Mrs. Clark: Look at your baby now, my dears.
(Esther and Mr. Nezzer look up at the ultrasound machine then stare at in awe when they see a small zucchini shaped blob then Esther turns to Mr. Nezzer)
Esther: Looks like someone's gonna take after their Daddy when they're born.
(Mr. Nezzer continues staring at the screen)
Mr. Nezzer: I...I can't believe how much the baby has grown.
(Mr. Nezzer looks at Esther then kisses her)
Mr. Nezzer: Our baby still looks so amazing, Essie.
(Mr. Nezzer presses his forehead to Esther's)
Mr. Nezzer: And their Mom is just as great.
(Mr. Nezzer and Esther look back over at the ultrasound)
Esther: It's just so cute, Nebby.
Mr. Nezzer: Mmm-hmm.
Mrs. Clark: Well, would you like to know if the baby's a boy or a girl?
(Mr. Nezzer and Esther look over at Mrs. Clark then nod)
Mrs. Clark: Then let's see.
(Mrs. Clark circles the probe around Esther's belly slightly then she stares at the ultrasound)
Mrs. Clark: Hmm.
Mr. Nezzer: (Worriedly) Mrs. Clark, is everything alright?
Esther: (Worriedly) There's not a problem, is there?
(Mr. Nezzer invisibly holds Esther close while they continue looking over at Mrs. Clark who's still staring at the ultrasound then she smiles then chuckles then turns to the two)
Mrs. Clark: Everything is okay. I just needed to see some more of the womb so that I could find out for sure. Mr. Nezzer, Esther...(looks over at the ultrasound) it looks like you're gonna be parents to a little girl.
Mr. Nezzer: (Happily) A girl?
Esther: (Happily) Are you sure?
Mrs. Clark: Everything on the picture adds up to it being confirmed. Congratulations.
(Esther turns to Mr. Nezzer)
Esther: Nebby, we're gonna have a daughter.
(Mr. Nezzer kisses Esther)
Mr. Nezzer: I'm gonna have two special girls in my life now.
Mrs. Clark: Alright Esther, we're all done.
(Mrs. Clark turns off the ultrasound machine then cleans up Esther)
Mrs. Clark: And I suppose you would love to have a photo of your baby girl.
Esther: Yes, thank you.
Mrs. Clark: I will get to that right now.
(Mrs. Clark leaves the room then Mr. Nezzer helps Esther up then he helps Esther invisibly roll her top back down then Esther turns to Mr. Nezzer then kisses him)
Esther: Can you imagine it, Nebby? A girl.
Mr. Nezzer: I think this calls for a celebration. How about tonight I take you to dinner?
(Esther giggles then kisses Mr. Nezzer's cheek)
Esther: That sounds great.
(Mr. Nezzer helps Esther off the exam table)
Mr. Nezzer: Shall we go, Mrs. Nezzer?
Esther: (Chuckles) I'd love to.
(The two leave the ultrasound room)
(The next scene is at Jimmy and Ellen's house, inside an empty room. Jimmy looks around it then turns to Mr. Lunt and George)
Jimmy: Okay, fellas, you ready to get started on Operation Nursery Surprise?
George: 10-4 on that, Jimmy.
Mr. Lunt: It's gonna take a little while to make this room into a nursery, Jimmy. You think we're up to it?
Jimmy: It may take a few days and nights but if we get the job done, I'm sure it's gonna be the greatest-looking nursery ever.
(George holds up a paintbrush)
George: Then let's get started, boys.
(The next scene is at Mr. Nezzer and Esther's house, Mr. Nezzer opens the door then takes off Esther's coat then Esther kisses his cheek)

Mr. Nezzer: Mmm-hmm. (Looks down at Esther's belly) I kinda had a feeling though.
Esther: Dad's intuition?
Mr. Nezzer: Yep.
(Mr. Nezzer leans over towards Esther's belly)
Mr. Nezzer: And now all we need is a name for our little cutie.
Esther: It'll come to us some time.
Mr. Nezzer: (To Esther's belly, cooing) Now, is our princess hungry?
Esther: (Giggles) She is.
(Mr. Nezzer kisses Esther's belly then stands back up then kisses Esther's cheek)
Mr. Nezzer: Why don't you go into the living room? I'd be glad to massage your back after lunch.
Esther: Okay. (Kisses Mr. Nezzer) Sounds great to me.
(Esther goes into the living room then sits down on the couch then sighs then begins to close her eyes then suddenly opens them then looks down at her belly then gasps)
Esther: Nebby! Come in here!
(Mr. Nezzer quickly moves out of the kitchen then over to Esther, panic-stricken)
Mr. Nezzer: (Worriedly) Essie, what's wrong? Are you okay? Is something wrong with the baby? Do we need to go back to the hospital?
Esther: Nope.
Mr. Nezzer: (Worriedly) Then what is it?
Esther: Sit beside me.
(Mr. Nezzer nods then sits beside Esther)
Mr. Nezzer: Okay.
Esther: Move towards my tummy.
(Mr. Nezzer moves closer to Esther till her belly is against his side)
Esther: Now feel.
(Mr. Nezzer waits then his eyes widen when he feels something press against him then he looks down at Esther's belly surprised then up at her)
Mr. Nezzer: (Hopeful) Sweetheart, was that...our baby?
Esther: She's finally saying 'hello' to us, Nebby.
(Mr. Nezzer leans down towards Esther's belly then presses close to it)
Mr. Nezzer: (To Esther's belly, cooing) Hi, baby. Hi, sweetie. You're an energetic little thing. We're so happy that you're kicking.
(Mr. Nezzer kisses Esther's belly)
Esther: (Giggles) A Daddy's girl already.
(Mr. Nezzer presses close to Esther's belly then looks up at her)
Mr. Nezzer: You have no idea. Essie, feeling our daughter move for the first time...it's nothing short of awesome. There's nowhere I'd rather be than here to witness this happening.
(Esther leans back then looks down at Mr. Nezzer who kisses her belly then presses close to it)
(The next scene is at Archibald and Petunia's house, inside Junior's bedroom. Junior is all tucked in while Archibald sits on the bed)
Archibald: So, how was school today?
Junior: It was great. But...Gordon kept teasing us that our baby brother or sister hasn't moved yet and probably never will. (Worriedly) What if he's right about that, Dad?
Archibald: Gordon may be older than you but he doesn't know everything. (Looks up) Only One has the best source of knowledge. (Looks down at Junior) Don't mind what Gordon says. The baby will start kicking before you know it.
Junior: Something tells me you're also looking forward to that.
Archibald: I must admit I am also getting rather eager about it. Trust me, when the baby starts to move, you and your sisters will be the first ones we tell about it.
Junior: Okay, Dad.
Archibald: Now, you close your eyes and get some sleep.
(Junior yawns then Archibald tucks him in some more then he gets off the bed then leans over to Junior)

(Petunia nods then Archibald goes over to the chair then kisses Petunia then her belly then invisibly plays with a strand of Petunia's hair)
Archibald: Still awake?
Petunia: I couldn't sleep so I thought I'd stay up for awhile.
(Archibald looks at Petunia concerned)
Archibald: (Worriedly) You and the baby are not uncomfortable, are you?
Petunia: No. Nothing like that. Maybe it's because I'm excited about tomorrow.
(Archibald invisibly brushes away some of Petunia's hair from her eyes)
Archibald: I can't believe it's the last appointment before the baby arrives.
Petunia: I know. Neither can I.
(Archibald and Petunia kiss then Archibald looks down at Petunia's book then over at her)
Archibald: What are you reading?
Petunia: A book I'm supposed to read to the class next week.
Archibald: Ah.
(Archibald kisses Petunia)

(Archibald looks up at Petunia smiling warmly)
Archibald: And I'm glad it did.
(Archibald then presses closer to Petunia's belly then begins humming a lullaby, the slight rumble sound against her causes Petunia to giggle)
Petunia: (Whispering) What are you doing?
(Archibald looks up at Petunia)
Archibald: (Whispering) I've read that the baby can hear when you sing or hum to them.
(Petunia feels two small kicks from the baby then looks down at Archibald)
Petunia: (Cooing) Archie, it's working, the baby's listening.
(Archibald chuckles then nuzzles Petunia's belly lovingly then stands back up then kisses Petunia's forehead)
Archibald: Shall we move over somewhere else?
Petunia: Sure.
(Archibald picks up Petunia then she leans her head against his then Archibald carries her over to the sofa then carefully sets her down then he sits down beside her then looks over at her smiling lovingly)

Petunia: Hmm. Only about three times today.
Archibald: (Chuckles) Let's make it four then.
(The two kiss romantically then Petunia leans against Archibald then Archibald kisses her forehead)

Ellen: Why do you have paint marks on your face?
Jimmy: Huh? Oh, that. Well, it's kind of a surprise for you. For you (looks down at Ellen's belly then kisses it then looks back up at Ellen) and our babies.
Ellen: Oh...A surprise? What is it?
Jimmy: Wait. I need to blindfold you first.
