till we'd been married nine months.

Come on, guys, get your coats.

Let's go tell some people.

I can just see Cole

breaking out the champagne.

Cole don't have to know about it.

I been in Cole's house a thousand times

without him knowing about it.

Yeah, well, I guess you do have to have

a few more people congratulate you.

- Getting an entire woman pregnant.

- I like how you put that.

Johnny says Cole's been on the warpath

all week.

- Hurry up, it's Cole.

- Ssh!

Open up!

What the hell's going on?

Will you guys be a little more hospitable

here? We got our common law articles.

- Hey, boy or girl?

- Boy.

- What does he weigh?

- I don't know what he weighs.

Kid just got born, man.

We put him on a diet already?

- How about a little celebration?

- Yeah! Give me that!

I'm gonna go get Jamie.

- Keep it down. My Dad's still up.

- Oh, I ain't scared of Cole.

Well, good, Mace.

I'll tell him you're here.

Hey, Jamie.

- Oh, I thought you were Johnny.

- Well, I ain't.

- Jamie, are you in bed?

- Cut it out.

Get in the closet.

Yes, Dad?

Jamie, what was that noise?

I think the wind blew the door shut.

- I told you to leave the window closed.

- I can't sleep when it's closed.

Well, you won't be able to sit if you

don't. You leave this shut, you hear?

I'm not deaf, Cole.

Good night.

Hey, you do have a reason for being

in my bedroom in the middle of the night?

I... Well...

Don't look so scared. I got my nightgown.

I'm not scared. Scared of what?

Getting what you came for.

Oh, no, no. See, Lem showed up.

He's over in Johnny and Bob's room.

Oh, yeah? Boy or girl?

- It's a boy.

- Ah!

I'm sitting there and this nurse comes in.

She goes, "Hey, are you gonna be

like her coach in there?"

And I says, "Her coach? What is this now?

A sport or something?"

"Compete against the other moms,

who can have their kid first?"

I said, "I'm sitting in that waiting room,

and I'm gonna read some old Time

magazine 20 times before I go in there."

- Hey, Jamie.

- Hey, Lem. Congratulations.

- Thank you.

- You get caught in a storm on the way?

You're just lucky she didn't have it

loaded with ink this time.

No, what he's lucky

is that I didn't have my BB gun with me.

No, where I'm really lucky

is Cole didn't catch me over there.

Whoa! Instant death.

You are a little young

to be hiding men in closets.

I wouldn't mind

if most of them stayed hid.

- So, you had a boy?

- You're damn straight.

If it'd been a girl, you could have kept

on trying till you got what you wanted.

Oh, Jesus! Don't get her started

on that femalism stuff.

Feminism.

Boy, I'm glad

Connie don't mess around with that stuff.
