Baby Mama Page #2

Synopsis: Successful and single businesswoman Kate Holbrook has long put her career ahead of a personal life. Now 37, she's finally determined to have a kid on her own. But her plan is thrown a curve ball after she discovers she has only a million-to-one chance of getting pregnant. Undaunted, the driven Kate allows South Philly working girl Angie Ostrowiski to become her unlikely surrogate. Simple enough ... After learning from the steely head of their surrogacy center that Angie is pregnant, Kate goes into precision nesting mode: reading childcare books, baby-proofing the apartment and researching top pre-schools.

Either way it's your baby.

And here's my baby.

Hello, my sweetheart.

Hello, little one.

Oh, yes.

What a good girl. Yes.

Everyone deserves this.

That's why I wanna remove

the stigma from surrogacy.

There's no wrong way

to make a family.

And you're proof of that.

How do you mean?

Just that you have this

beautiful baby using surrogacy.

Oh, no.

My husband and I conceived

Sabrina the old-fashioned way.

- But you're so...

- Old?

You wouldn't think so

if you saw my uterus.

But you know what really made

this little angel possible?

A time machine?

A positive attitude.

You may not have

my fertile body,

but with my help

you can still be a mother.

Make the cracks break

Shake it till they drop

Make the booty go

wah, wah, wah

Make the cracks break

Shake it till they drop

Make the booty go

wah, wah, wah

Nice.

Yo, who you waiting on again?

Her name's Angie. Well, she

might be my surrogate mother.

That's right. You got

your baby mama coming.

You know I got

two baby mamas, right?

No, this is different. You had

relationships with those women.

No, I had no relationships

with those women.

I had relations

with those women.

No. I'm paying her. This

was set up by an agency.

There are contracts involved.

It's strictly business.

You pay the bills, she have the

baby. That's called a baby mama.

You ask any black man

in Philadelphia.

Yo, what if that's

your baby mama?

I don't think that's her.

Here come your baby mama

Riding a Suzuki

I wanna spend

about 15 minutes here,

then I wanna get my picture

taken punching the Rocky statue.

Yeah, well, you're gonna

have to sketch it,

'cause I didn't

bring a camera.

Okay, you did that on purpose,

didn't you? Trying to sabotage my art.

- This might be them.

- All right, I'm an artist.

- Oscar, this might be them.

- I want it to look artistic.

You told me to tell you when

you were sounding ignorant.

You're sounding ignorant.

- Angie?

- What?

I'm Kate.

Hi.

Nice to meet you.

This is Carl, my husband.

Common-law.

He always says that.

Well, please,

come on in.

Thank you.

Listen, shut her down in

drive and slam it into park

or it'll start smoking, okay?

And I'll be back with this.

So, how long have

you two been together?

We met the summer after I

discontinued high school.

And we've been

together ever since.

He never officially

asked me to be his wife,

but he never asked me

to not be his wife either,

so things are going

pretty good.

Wow. The place is amazing.

Let me...

Beautiful.

Kind of looks like Kate

Hudson's New York pied--terre.

She read that somewhere. I don't

think she's saying it right.

No, she's saying it right.
