(The kids give the diving sticks to Archibald)

Archibald: 1, 2, 3...go.

(Archibald drops the diving sticks in the water)

Christina (Sara Crewe): Wanna help us find them, Daddy?

Archibald: Next round, sweetheart. I think I'd better check on your mother.

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)

Archibald: Mind if I come up?

Petunia: (Giggles) Don't mind at all.

(Archibald moves on top of the inflatable then cuddles close to Petunia)

Archibald: The kids are really enjoying themselves.

Petunia: They're not the only ones.

Archibald: I figured that.

(Archibald brushes a strand of Petunia's hair away)

Petunia: How about you?

Archibald: (Quietly) I'm enjoying myself very much.

(Archibald kisses Petunia's forehead)

Petunia: I'm looking forward to seeing our baby learn how to swim.

Archibald: So am I.

(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)

Jimmy: (Sheepishly) Yeah.

Ellen: Good. Now, how about that bath?

Junior: Well...Mom's only 6 months. But...she looks...well...a month ahead.

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)

Archibald: Your mom and little sibling are healthy, Junior. This probably doesn't mean anything.

(Junior smiles)
