Away We Go Page #4

to go to the steakhouse,

he took me to Long John Silver's.

That's being attentive to your needs

and your desires.

Who is this guy?

Grace, this guy sounds

like a goddamn champ.

He sounds awesome.

I need you to know something.

I really think you guys should get married.

Gotta take this.

Ned! Yeah.

Surprised you aren't

hiding under a rock,

the way your Padres

played last night.

Sorry.

Yeah. Well, what was it?

Yeah. Yeah.

I thought so.

Look at him.

I'm about to have a baby that might

have 3 hands or a shovel for a head,

and the thing he is

most concerned about

is whether or not

I'm gonna keep my b*obs.

I think that's sexy.

Yeah. Yeah.

You got lucky, sister.

Yeah, I know.

Yeah. No, I did.

What is it?

I'd put a wager on it.

So what are you looking for?

A Jacuzzi-type thing? Or a "tub" tub?

Jacuzzi.

So how do you feel?

Do you feel different?

No. No, I feel the same.

Maybe I should feel different.

Maybe it's just late coming to me.

Like everything else.

Join the club.

Can you believe Mom was just 25

when she had you?

Get in.

I don't need to get in.

It's a nice tub.

Come on. I'll wash your hair.

If I can get in.

It's nice. I like it.

So when was the last time

you went back home?

You know it's been a long time.

When are you gonna

sell that place, anyway?

You mean, when are we gonna sell it?

I don't know. Not yet.

We've had good luck

with renters.

Selling it just seems

like the last thing.

Can you imagine how excited Mom and Dad

would be if they could see you now?

Stop. You're doing it again.

What?

You're just getting all...

Trying to get me

to talk about them.

It's only because

you never do.

I do. You know I do.

I just did.

I just want to talk more.

You're the big sister.

You remember more.

Fine. What do you

want to know?

You know that baby's gonna have

something of them in her.

I mean, what if she's got Mom's

crazy green eyes or something?

What if it's one of those features

that skipped you and me

and jumps onto the face

of that little baby?

You're bringing them back, you know.

In a little way.

I know.

Are you trying to make me cry

in a bathtub?

In a bathtub showroom?

You're gonna be a great mom.

Like our mom.

Hi.

Hello.

You know you can't fly after

Oh! I'm only 6 months.

Dana, come here for a second.

Do you have a note

from the doctor?

What? Really?

It's okay. You're supposed to

have a note from the doctor

if you want to fly

after 8 months.

But I'm only 6 months, so...

Carrie?

You got a minute?

She says she's only 6 months.

Can you turn to the side?

I think this is better, actually.

This is the railroad.

The romance of the rails.

'Rona, it's like Casey Jones

or Thomas the Train.

Hey, you know what?

We might see some buffalo.

I'm so tired of being big.

I'm tired of not having sex.

Do you want to have sex?

No.

We haven't done it in a month.

And you don't want to now?

No.

I just... I feel so ugly.

No, no, no. Don't be sad.

You're not that big.

You're still super-sexy.

Hot, even.

Oh! No. Honey... Hey.

I'll always love you.

Even if you're enormous.

Even if it takes you months

to lose this weight. A year.

Even if you gain weight

after having the baby.

Even if you gain so much weight

that I can't find your vagina.

You go ahead and write

that in stone in your heart.

I will love you.

Even if I can't find your vagina.

Her heart rate's pretty slow.

What is it?

It's like 115.

That seems normal

enough, right?

Well, it's supposed to be

between 120 and 160.

She's just mellow.

Mellow's good.

I don't want mellow now.

I want lively now, mellow later.

I think it's fine.

That's 'cause you

don't want to fight.

We should fight more,

just get riled up.

Didn't we fight last night?

No, we discussed.

We need to fight.

You never raise your voice.

Okay.

You've done something wrong,

and I'm really bothered by it.

Man, am I cross.

Real mad.

No, it has to be convincing.

Like, should I swear?

No, just raise your voice.

You cuntsucker!

I didn't mean now.

But the element of surprise

is so crucial.

You've never heard me say

"cuntsucker" before, have you?

No.

See?

And I will get that heart rate up.

I know what I'm doing.

Wow, look at this.

This is really nice.

Yeah, it is.

So, is Ellen a full

professor or an associate?

And wait, which side is she on?

She's a first cousin, right?

She's not technically

my cousin, actually.

Her mom was an old friend of my dad's.

I've no idea how.

Anyway, they started calling us

cousins when we were kids.

She always used to make me

take pictures of her.

Excuse me.

Yes?

Do you know where Ellen

Fisher-Herrin's office is?

Ellen Fisher-Herrin.

Yes, I do know.

As a matter of fact,

she's in William Stone Hall.

Room 340, about halfway down.

Thanks.

Yeah.

She'll be the mom

without the stroller.

She doesn't have a stroller?

I thought you said she got

some sort of big trust fund.

She did. Here it is.

I thought her name was Ellen.

What does "L-N" stand for?

No!

Don't say anything. Please.

It's open.

Here we go.

Hello.

Welcome.

Come on in.

Come on in. Okay.

Okay.

Mama's gonna put

her booby back in.

All right.

I'll give it right back.

So great to have you.

It's good to see you. Hi.

How are you?

I'm good. I'm good.

You remember Verona?

Hi.

Of course.

How can I forget

such a gorgeous woman?

Verona, you just look beautiful.

Thanks.

Look at your hair.

Yeah.

And, well, it's a boy.

A girl.

No.

Really? With those hips and that shape?

Who told you it was a girl?

Well, the doctor and the sonogram...

Well, we'll see.

Right.

Should we go?

Yes.

Sorry we're late.

I tried to call.

Oh! Right. Yeah, I don't answer

the phone when I'm nursing.

It's not fair to the children.

I gotta get this one to crafting.

We got directions from this really

nice lady who seemed to know you.

She was... Had brown hair,

wearing a blazer and glasses.

She had a baby.

Ruby.

Poor Ruby. She hates me.

I breastfed her baby.

Pardon?

Can you do that?

Well, I was baby-sitting and

the child was fussing. Starving.

Wouldn't take the bottle. So I fed him,

and he took to me right away.

But, you know, I think my mistake was...

I shouldn't have told her.

She's got lactation problems,

and she couldn't appreciate it.

And now she won't let me baby-sit,

she won't let me near her husband,

and I think there's something

strangely paranoid about that, right?

So, dinner. Should we go out,

or do you want to eat in?

Let's eat in.

We've had train food all day.

Train food.

Okay, let me think.

What do I have?

Let us get the food.

We have a car.

We can get the groceries.

I mean, it's the least that we can do.

Look at you, so helpful.

Oh, Burtie.

I'm really proud of you, babe.

And I have to say I'm so glad

you guys got pregnant so easily.

I was concerned when I heard

about your tilted uterus.

You told her I have a tilted uterus?

I don't know.
