What to Expect When You're Expecting Page #5

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?

Wendy?
- Wendy?
- Huh?
- Are you dead?
- Oh...
Hey.
Man, I was dreaming
that I had a kangaroo pouch.
That sounds awesome.
It was like a purse.
I could hide my snacks in it.
You're like a human-kanga hybrid.
(CHUCKLES)
Ow.
I like to rub my breasts, too.
(GASPS)
Gary! Gar Bear!
Gar! Gary! Gar Bear! Gar! Whoo!
- Wendy!
- We're pregnant!
I'm with child! We're pregnant!
- Oh, my God!
- We did it!
My balls work! My balls work! Oh, my God!
Keep it in your lane, people.
- (SCREAMS)
- I did it! I did it!
- WENDY:
We did it! We're gonna have a baby!
- We made a baby!
Sh*t!
Rosie, hurry up!
I need my lucky bra for my interview.
- Ro!
- (TOILET FLUSHING)
Two seconds, that's all I wanted.
Whoa. What's her deal?
I thought she finally got laid.
I don't know.
HOLLY:
I love these hardwood floors!
This is it, baby. It's so perfect.
This is the one.
Are you insane?
We're not buying, we're just looking.
You want the house or the baby?
I want the house for the baby.
We can't afford it.
- Hi.
- Hi.
Hi.
Look, this is it.
This is the one we have to get.
We're just looking.
WENDY:
Stop worrying.
GARY:
Okay, okay.
It's just, he gives me a hard time
when I'm late, you know.
(RINGS DOORBELL)
Don't let him get into your head.
Yeah. Okay. You're right.
He can't ruin this. Not today.
No.
So, Dad.
Wendy and I have
a little announcement to make.
- We're pregnant!
- We're pregnant!
Oh, my God!
Isn't that great?
(ALL LAUGHING)
- So are we!
- What?
You're... What, are you... Are you kidding?
Yeah, hell's bells.
I guess it's congratulations to all of us.
Holy... I had no idea
that you guys were even trying.
- Uh-uh. We weren't!
- No.
Now, look, son,
there's no blanks in this pistol.
Boom!
You guys, you've been trying
for quite a while.
What two, three months?
Something like that?
Two years.
Not everything's a race, Dad.
- Gar.
- RAMSEY:
No.
- Yeah. Right?
- No. Not everything.
Only things where you can come in first.
- Okay.
- RAMSEY:
Oh, come on.
Gary, let's celebrate.
Let's go to Margaritaville.
- I don't wanna go to Margaritaville.
- Come on.
I don't wanna go to Margaritaville.
Oh, everybody wants to go to Margaritaville.
- I don't wanna go.
- Come on!
I'm gonna break out
the Don Julio "Blank-o."
"Blanco," Dad. "Blanco."
That's how you pronounce it.
And it's 11 :
00 a.m., kind of early for shots.
- It's 5:
00 somewhere.
- True.
- Don't be a p*ssy.
- You know what?
RAMSEY:
Margaritaville is
abierto for business.
Wendy, I just have to say, I am just
so happy to have a baby expert in the family.
- Oh...
- Are you feeling anything yet?
Joy.
- Yeah.
- Some exhaustion.
