What to Expect When You're Expecting Page #3

Synopsis: Five couples' intertwined lives are turned upside down by the challenges of impending parenthood. Over the moon about starting a family, TV fitness guru Jules and dance show star Evan find that their high-octane celebrity lives don't stand a chance against the surprise demands of pregnancy. Baby-crazy author and advocate Wendy gets a taste of her own militant mommy advice when pregnancy hormones ravage her body; while Wendy's husband, Gary, struggles not to be outdone by his competitive alpha-Dad, who's expecting twins with his much younger trophy wife, Skyler. Photographer Holly is prepared to travel the globe to adopt a child, but her husband Alex isn't so sure, and tries to quiet his panic by attending a "dudes" support group, where new fathers get to tell it like it really is. And rival food truck chefs Rosie and Marco's surprise hook-up results in an unexpected quandary: what to do when your first child comes before your first date?

MARCO:
Well, I asked you to prom first,

all right. And then you said, "Maybe"

- so I decided to ask someone else.

- No, I didn't...

Yes, you did. So I asked someone else.

Then you said, "Yes."

So I tried to take you both.

What's so wrong with that?

- I'm not saying it worked.

- Fine.

I blocked out most of high school anyway.

Hey. Where'd you get this guy?

I fought a grill and the grill won.

Why'd you fight the grill?

It always wins.

- "Chef hands." Occupational hazard.

- Yeah, guys love it, though.

- Do they?

- Guys love burned hands.

Yeah? Check this out. Okay.

First time breaking down a pig

when I was 16.

- Five stitches. Five. Yeah.

- Five?

- That is adorable!

- I wasn't asking your opinion, that's okay.

- That is adorable!

- All right, I wasn't asking your opinion.

Look. A deli slicer

nearly took my whole thumb off.

All right. Second-degree burn.

Making caramels.

- Your own fault.

- Yeah, I know.

Home-made is the best, though.

- So good for you for trying.

- Never again. Never again.

- Julienning shallots.

- Julienning shallots?

'Cause Julianne, ex-girlfriend, right there,

she got me.

- Julianne. I see what you did there.

- I know.

- That's good.

- Yeah? It was good, right? I saved it for you.

Whoever she was, you probably deserved it.

What? You are so mean.

Are you always this mean?

- Always.

- Is that your gift?

Always?

Okay.

Okay, Trouble. I'm gonna go.

- You're gonna go?

- I'm gonna go.

- It's been super real.

- Where do you think you're going?

- It's been great catching up with you...

- Yes! Uh...

Oh. Formal handshake. Good to see you.

Maybe I'll see you on the truck line

- again sometime, right?

- Yeah.

Yeah, Rosie Brennan.

- Your hands are on my waist.

- They are on your waist, aren't they?

How did they find themselves there?

I don't know.

This is really awkward, isn't it?

Well, if you don't stop me,

I'm just gonna kiss you.

Is that gonna be okay?

This is me getting in my car.

This is you waving goodbye.

(ALARM BLARING)

(BOTH CHUCKLING)

GARY:
My zipper's stuck.

Is that our alarm?

What?

- Yeah. Definitely.

- No, I think our car's that way.

GARY:
No, it's this way.

JULES:
Water feels so good.

Good, baby.

Do you want some tea?

Uh, no.

Are you sure you're not freaking out?

Seriously, I mean, just say so.

I can handle it.

Freak out's a little strong.

I really thought I had a bum fallopian tube.

- I just don't wanna force it.

- Hey, Crazy.

I wanted to be with you

before you were pregnant.

This just speeds things up a little.

- A lot.

- So?

We're old enough. We love each other.

What's to figure out?

Apart from what are you gonna do

about your show?
