that some are born with the

material instinct and others are not.

The little girl tending her

doll collection is no more a

natural-born mother than

the tomboy down the street.

There is no standard.

There are no rituals.

Hello, Diana.

Very fetching.

You might want to rethink the earnings.

I'm glad you came.

- I started to wonder if I'd see you again.

- I needed some time to think.

And?

It's so unfair what you've done.

This is monumentally unfair.

- Will you forgive me?

- Don't be asking anything from me.

I totally understand if you

never want to see me again.

- I'll take responsibility for the baby.

- Wait!

Can we just get one thing straight

here? This is my baby, too.

- Don't you ever forget that!

- I won't.

- I'm the mother. You're the father.

- Yes.

- Is that clear?

- Yes.

We'll have to find an intelligent

way of sharing the responsibilities.

Creating security and

a home life

and a normal upbringing!

All this is

very complicated.

- I know it is.

And I thought that I would be

that I would be the...

You are.

I want us to do this together.

Do you have a private room?

Yes. Why?

Call me old-fashioned, but I'm not having

a child with a man I never slept with.

So, where is it?

You coming?

I'd better get out of

here before anyone sees me.

If everything is satisfactory,

please sign all copies where tagged.

Once we have European approval,

the FDA will agree to testing.

- Leave it to us.

- Potential for your drug is remarkable.

- We'll be rich.

- Loaded.

That's got a nice ring to it. Loaded.

What's the matter?

Would you put this call

through to California?

Sure, Dr. Arbogast.

Over there.

I should call the

doctor just to be sure.

I just need to lie down.

Damn it.

Lyndon's coming in as partners.

This will push us through the FDA.

Are you okay?

Set up an emergency

C-section for tonight.

I want everybody out of the

building except you and Louise.

You want to do an operation

with just the two of us?

Just us. We're the whole team.

You can't do an emergency C-section

without an anaesthesiologist.

We can handle it. Bye.

She didn't come down for lunch.

- You better call Dr. Talbot.

- Right.

Hurry. I need you.

I'm coming! Okay?

- I need the car. I need the keys.

- On the desk.

You said to let you know if

something was going on here.

Something's definitely going on.

They're sending everybody home.

An emergency C-something.

Does that mean anything to you?

- Open the door, please.

- I want my Larry.

In the meantime, let's have

our doctor take a look at you.

There is nothing to worry about. I

think it's important that I see you.

I don't want to see you!

- Where is he?

- He? Who?

He, my, she, my wife!

She's upstairs. Thank God you're here.

Pumpkin?

- Back! Excuse me!

- Thank God you're here.

Honey, open up. It's Larry, open up.

I can take care of her.

- Okay, okay. Just breathe.

- Oh, my God! Here it comes!

I feel the baby. The baby!

Oh, sh*t!

Are you all right?

What the hell are you doing here?

What am I doing here?

It's my baby, not yours!

- I put it in there.

- My egg.

- Your egg doesn't make you the mother.

- Shut up!

Take me out of here!

- Do we have to bounce so much?

- Just a couple of miles like this.

You okay, Alex?

Feels like Junior kicked

a hole through something.

I want to talk to Sneller.

- I want to die!

- Breathe.

- Stop blowing at me!

- Sorry.

I'm, about a half hour away.

Tell me what is going on.

Someone from the University

has a bunch of media out front.

- Damn it! Can you get rid of them?

- I don' think so.

- What's this?

- I don't want to talk on the cellular.

- Just meet us outside!

- What's going on?

Somebody tipped the press.

- What are we going to do?

- I don't know. I'm thinking.

Better be big.

You pulled me away from dinner with

the University's largest benefactor.

This is big, Edward,

literally and figuratively.

Ladies an gentlemen, may I

have your attention, please?

Thank you for waiting.

I'm Noah Banes

director of Lufkin's

Biotechnology Research Center.

This is Edward Sawyer,

president of Leland University.

We are here to announce a momentous

breakthrough in medical science.

Under my personal

guidance and supervision

and with the aid of a

new wonder drug, Expectane

Dr. Alexander Hesse of my

staff will be arriving shortly

to give birth to a child he

has himself carried to term.

- Are you saying he's pregnant?

- Yes.

I am saying he's pregnant.

- I see him! There they are.

- What perfect timing.

Here he is now, ladies and gentlemen. I

give you the world's first pregnant man.

What is it?

What are you doing here?

This is my building.

Get out of here. I got

a medical emergency.

Go on. Back off.

Hi, mom.

What is this?

It's just a woman.

That's my wife you're talking about.

Hey, Ned. Thank you.

All right, okay, baby.

Watch your step.

- Okay.

- Up here.

Up! Upsy-daisy.

I've got you.

Give me room. Ned,

let's get her in there.

- You told us there was a pregnant man.

- There is a pregnant man.

He's having a baby, Edward. I swear it.

You're fired.

- Why are we stopping on two?

- It's a surprise.

- I prepped the operating room upstairs.

- Good. You did good.

- Thank God. Not yet.

- Are they here?

Who's here?

Enough with the

huffing. We're all alone.

Imagine a tranquil...

Little birdies.

- In here!

- Cheep.

- Forget the birdies.

- Thank God! Are you okay?

- Up out of there.

- Larry, what is this?

- It's our patient.

- What's the matter with him?

My best guess, his baby's

tangled in the large intestine.

His baby?

Oh, God!

- Is the room prepped?

- Yeah, it's prepped.

Go on, Louise, open the door!

Relax. Just relax.

Get him undressed!

Look at the belly on that guy!

- Please, let me do something!

- Look.

This is dangerous

both for Alex and the baby.

I don't know what will happen.

There's nothing you can do.

Just go outside with Angela,

okay? Keep her company.

What?

- Not you? Not now? No.

- Yes.

- I'll get someone.

- I want Larry!

Easy.

Okay, look.

Let's imagine a garden with

trees and birds cheeping. Cheep...

Let's imagine drugs.

- What can I do?

- Have the baby for me.

You feel that?

- What?

- Feel that?

The drugs are working.

We gave you an epidural.

You'll be awake through

this. It's safer that way.

Just try and stay calm.

- Here we go.

- Just relax. Think about the baby. Okay?

- Blot.

- Blot.

That's good. I'm not leaving you.

- Hold on. I'll check.

- Oh, God!

This is hard.

- Where are you?

- I'm here.

Do you think he's all right?

- It's tangled up in the intestines.

- Transverse colon's got it.

- There's a lot of fluid.

- It's clear.

Suck it down there.

- Now push here. Push.

- Ready?

That's your baby.

It's a girl! Seven pounds, six

ounces. She's got her mother's looks.

- Father and daughter are doing fine.

- I have a girl?

- What?

- Another delivery.

Go in there! Talk to me.

- He's coming, honey.
