Christina (Sara Crewe): Okay.
Libby: Let's go searching!
(The kids go back under the water making Archibald chuckle then he goes over to Petunia who's laying on an inflatable mattress, relaxing)

Petunia: (Giggles) Don't mind at all.
(Archibald moves on top of the inflatable then cuddles close to Petunia)

(Archibald brushes a strand of Petunia's hair away)
Petunia: How about you?

(Archibald kisses Petunia's forehead)
Petunia: I'm looking forward to seeing our baby learn how to swim.

(Archibald looks down at Petunia's stomach then back up at her)
Archibald: And you know what else I'm looking forward to?
Petunia: What?
(Archibald kisses Petunia's nose)
Archibald: (Softly) Seeing our baby grow inside the woman I love.
Petunia: (Chuckles) So am I.
(Archibald looks down at Petunia's stomach)
Archibald: I can imagine it already, Petunia.
(Archibald kisses Petunia's stomach)
Archibald: Our baby's very lucky to have someone like you for their dad.
(Archibald lays his head on Petunia's stomach)
Archibald: (To Petunia's stomach, softly) Your mom is just as great.
Petunia: (Giggles) Oh? She is?
(Archibald moves back up to Petunia)
Archibald: She is, darling.
(Petunia smiles lovingly at Archibald then they kiss then suddenly Archibald is splashed with water then they look over and see Christina and Libby giggling)
Libby: Gotcha Dad!
Archibald: (Playfully) Oh, now you two asked for it.
(Archibald hops back in the pool then swims over to Libby and Christina then picks them both up)
Archibald: (Playfully) The penalty is...the helicopter game.
Libby & Christina: Yay!
(Junior's head pops out of the water)
Junior: Helicopter game? I'm in!
Archibald: (Chuckles) Hop on.
(Junior climbs on Archibald's back)
Archibald: Tight now. Ready for takeoff?
Kids: Yeah! Yes!
Archibald: Alright...
(Archibald begins spinning around and around making the kids squeal and laugh while Petunia watches on, smiling fondly)

Ellen: Well...
(Jimmy notices a chocolate smudge on the bottom of Ellen's dress)
Jimmy: (Concerned) And chocolate too?
Ellen: Jimmy...
Jimmy: (Concerned) Sweetie, why are you messy? Did you fall or something? Are you and the babies hurt? Did something spill on you?
Ellen: (Sighs) I can't tell you.
Jimmy: (Concerned) Why not?
Ellen: It really is nothing. It was only a joke.
Jimmy: A joke?
Ellen: (Sighs) I was in the bakery and...some teenagers came in and they began...teasing me. Calling me fat and all.
Jimmy: (Angrily) What?!
Ellen: And then they began throwing some of the treats at me.
Jimmy: (Concerned) They didn't hurt you, did they?
Ellen: No. Only laughed and threw things. Luckily, Scooter was passing by and stopped it.
Jimmy: Remind me to thank him.
(Jimmy kisses Ellen's forehead)
Jimmy: Why don't you go and take a hot bath and get into some clean clothes, okay, Cupcake? I'll meet you up there to give you some soap and towels.
Ellen: Okay.
(Jimmy kisses Ellen then she leaves the kitchen then Jimmy goes over to the phone)
Jimmy: Hello? Is this 'Potatotini's Bumblyburg Bakery'? Good. I'd like to make a small complaint. (Angrily) HOW COULD YOU LET SOME BULLIES TREAT MY WIFE LIKE THAT?! UP YOUR SECURITY NEXT TIME OR YOU'LL BE LOOKING AT A LAWSUIT AND STORE CLOSURE!
(Jimmy angrily slams the phone back into the wall then begins panting then Ellen clears her throat then he turns to her then chuckles sheepishly)
Ellen: Feel better?
(Jimmy kisses Ellen)

Archibald: To be honest...I noticed too.
(Archibald tucks Junior in some more)
Archibald: But...We shouldn't worry about that. Your baby brother or sister may just be a bit big.
Junior: (Concerned) Does that happen?
Archibald: Sometimes it does.
(Junior frowns)
