Baby Love Page #4

---

I'll be a dad!

Thank you.

What's the matter?

I dreamt I had a malformed baby

and you abandoned me.

A common nightmare

for pregnant women.

You won't abandon me?

No, don't worry.

Back to bed.

I'm scared down there.

Can I stay a bit?

Sure.

Hop in.

I'm shivering.

I'm cold.

Then snuggle up.

I feel good with you.

And you?

Likewise.

You what?

Why?

I dunno.

That's wild.

So, how was it?

It was...

That's wild.

And...

do you feel love for her?

I don't know...

I adore the girl.

I find her touching.

Even physically, I like her.

You mean...

you may be a closet straight?

Don't be silly.

Be right back.

Cathy, everything okay?

Yes, fine.

Are you sure?

It's too bright in here.

Well, time to go.

Don't want to stay a bit longer?

We could chat.

About what? I've told you all.

It's late.

Tomorrow's another day.

You could sleep here.

Too late for the metro.

Cathy,

I'm driving.

Of course.

Bye.

Thanks for dinner.

See you tomorrow.

Can I have a word?

I've really important news.

I'm listening.

Fina is pregnant.

I'm really happy for you.

Amazing, well done.

I really wanted to thank you.

And...

also to tell you that...

Carlos.

Hi.

Fina and I are getting married

Saturday at 11 .

Why not come along?

It'd be nice.

Both of you.

There's no problem.

Well, I won't keep you.

Goodnight.

I fell asleep.

What time is it?

You know...

What happened last night

was very sweet,

very tender,

but it can't happen again.

You understand?

Sure.

There's Paris!

How pretty.

- That's Paris?

- Yes, Dad.

- Look at this garden...

- It's beautiful.

So, this is your room.

- Looks lovely.

- Yes, very pleasant.

Darling, we're so thrilled

to see you.

We want to hear it all.

How you met,

how long you've been together.

We want to know everything!

What's the matter, darling?

It's the emotion.

What's wrong, my pet?

Don't worry.

Your mother couldn't stop crying

on our wedding day.

Yes, I remember.

Mr Emmanuel Franois Xavier Bernier,

do you take as wife

Miss Josefina Maria Paredes

here present?

I do.

Miss Josefina Maria Paredes,

do you take as husband

Mr Emmanuel Franois Xavier Bernier

here present?

Miss?

Miss Paredes?

I do.

I hereby declare you

husband and wife.

The kiss.

Long live the happy couple!

Philippe!

How are you?

Glad to see you.

It was getting a bit straight.

Thanks. You okay?

Glad you came.

Don't jump to conclusions.

I only came to please Mom.

Right.

I'm glad you came.

Didn't think you would.

Here I am.

- How are things?

- Fine.

Well, you seem happy.

I can't complain.

You didn't come with

your new boyfriend?

No, he ditched me.

Really? Why?

He said I was...

How did he put it?

"Old" ...

and "sinister" .

No kidding!

But maybe.. .

he's not all wrong.

No.

Goodnight.

Goodnight, Mrs Bernier.

Not too late?

Cute place you've got.

Yeah...

It's cute.

I wish you every happiness,

my darling.

I'm so happy. He's so elegant, so

well-mannered. And you, so radiant.

My darling!

And now...

you give us

pretty grandchildren!

We will, I promise.

Bon voyage.

You'd better hurry.

Bye.

Hurry up! We'll be late.

Bye. Safe home!

Come on, quick!

What's up with you?

How could you do that

on our wedding day?

Under my parents, nose!

Have you no respect?

Get real.

It was a marriage of convenience.

You had to get laid the same night?

No need to be gross.

I didn't get laid,

I saw Philippe again.

But you said it was over?

I thought it was.

So?

So...

Philippe may be moving back in.

What! And me?

It changes nothing.

You stay until the birth,

like we said.

We didn't say

you'd flirt with your ex!

- What does it change?

- Everything!

Fina, what is this?

All you're short of

is the rolling pin.

Are you jealous?

You guessed!

Fina...

Dammit!

What's going on?

Wanna know?

Then I'll tell you!

I've fallen in love with you.

But I thought we'd made it

perfectly clear?

Sure.

That's why we slept together.

That day I was all mixed up.

My joy at being a father,

my gratitude to you...

You're really special to me,

believe me.

But I'm gay

and always will be.

I was wrong, Manu.

I can't have this baby without love.

I'm sorry.

I guess we really messed up.

What do you want to do?

We should put a stop to this.

Don't you think?

You may have tummy-aches

and slight bleeding.

But it's nothing serious,

it'll pass.

Okay?

If not, call me.

Okay.

I'm sure it's for the best.

Fina?

What we'd like

is to take the time

and not rush into this.

Right.

See each other often,

spend weekends together.

Great.

Make sure we agree

on everything beforehand.

Leave as little as possible

to chance.

Sure, chance is...

We'd like alternate custody.

Only problem is,

we live in Orlans.

Yeah...

We noticed on the site.

It's far.

So in the interest of the child...

Excuse me.

I don't know if Manu told you,

he'll be the dad,

me too, I'm the genitor...

It's me.

Me? Who's me?

Fina.

Where are you?

At the Bleuets clinic.

I'm waiting for you, hurry up!

At the Bleuets clinic?

- Miss Parades?

- Caps, please!

Push, push...

Great. Now rest.

Hello.

- You okay?

- I'm thirsty.

Quick, water.

Contraction on the way.

Open your mouth.

Ready.

Breathe in, hold it.

Now push!

Encourage her!

I can't.

You can.

She can't.

You're doing great.

I can't.

Be brave, Fina.

You can do it.

Ready, contraction!

Deep breath, hold it.

Push, push...

We can see the head!

Stop pushing!

It's a little girl.

A pretty little girl!

Look, a little girl.

You were great.

She's so tiny...

So tiny.

Who's the dad?

- He is.

- I am.

Chosen her name?

For a girl I'd thought of Zlie.

Yes, Zlie sounds nice.

She's so tiny!

Hi, I'm Manu. I'm your dad.

And this is Philippe.

He's your dad too.

She looks so like you,

it's incredible.

She's got your nose, I swear.

Can we do the paperwork?

Here, you take her.

Nice and easy.

Mind her head.

That's right.

Me too, I'm your dad.

And you're my princess.

What a voice you've got.

You'll be a singer.

Easy does it.

Can you walk okay?

There he is!

What's up?

I'm not coming.

I don't get it.

You take Zlie and go home.

- That was our contract.

- Are you kidding?

Our contract's over.

Not for me.

Listen, take your time.

We go home, you rest up

and we talk.

No need.

You go your way, I go mine.

Don't be silly!

You wanted her.

I can't look after her,

I've my life to live.

I need to forget you.

I don't understand.

So why did you keep her?

I don't know.

For her.

Please, don't make it harder.

Just go.

And promise not to look for me.

I'll come to you, okay?

Promise me.

Now go.

Go!

I beg you.

When you change her,

put on these pyjamas.

And if she doesn't sleep,

do a 5/10/15...

Let her cry for 5', go see her.

Then for 10', go see her.

She usually sleeps.

If not, there's a problem.

If so you must call me.

Don't over-tighten the bottle,

or it doesn't flow.

But under-tighten and it spills.

And check the milk

on the back of your hand.
