Archibald: How about if we name our daughter after my granny Gherkin?

Petunia: (Giggles) I don't think she'd like that.

Archibald: (Sighs) Probably right.

(Archibald beams then turns to Petunia)

Archibald: Why don't we name her after your grandmother, Hortensia?

Petunia: Hmm. Nope.

Archibald: (Sighs) Back to the drawing board.

Petunia: How about Dakota? We're already naming our boys Derek and Dylan.

Archibald: (Chuckles) Dakota?

Petunia: Mmm-hmm. I read that state names are-

(Petunia gasps then Archibald quickly turns to her then invisibly holds her close)

Archibald: (Concerned) Everything alright, darling?

(Petunia smiles then turns to Archibald)

Petunia: The babies seem to be waking up from their nap. They always let me know that by kicking. Here.

(Archibald sighs sadly then moves closer to Petunia's belly then carefully leans against it, still looking glum, then his eyes widen in surprise)

Archibald: (Quietly) This feels...(chuckles softly) I... I can't even describe it.

Petunia: (Giggling) I'm guessing you felt them kick for the first time?

(Archibald nods, now looking excited, then he lowers his head to her belly then presses a kiss to it causing Petunia to giggle then he looks up at her)

Archibald: So...do they only kick?

Petunia: Sometimes they'll kick or roll around or shift a little. They make all kinds of moves. They're definitely becoming stronger...and getting ready to meet us.

Archibald: (Sighs) Everything couldn't be better.

(Archibald moves closer to Petunia's belly, his nose and lips nearly brushing against it)

Archibald: (To Petunia's belly, softly) Hello in there, little ones. Daddy's here. Mommy and I love you more than anything and we can't wait to see you.

Petunia: (Giggles) You're silly. Adorable...but silly.

(Archibald kisses Petunia's belly then moves back up to her side)

Archibald: Our triplets surprise me each day.

(Petunia chuckles then presses her forehead to Archibald's)

Petunia: Oh, Archie. I can't wait to see how they are when they first meet you. They'll love their daddy the minute you first hold them.

Archibald: And they'll be just as loved and spoiled as Junior, Libby, Ellie and Christina.

Petunia: (Chuckles) Oh, no. We're in trouble then.

(They both laugh then Petunia kisses Archibald's cheek then rests her head against his shoulder)
