legs. Collectively.

We absolutely have to begin in 3

minutes. Your guy better get here.

I promise

he'll be here.

He'll be here.

It's gonna be great.

I don't know what's

keeping him so long.

It'd be really fun

to have you back again.

When we come back,

"I'm So Over This,

What It's Really Like to Be

Pregnant. " So stick around.

I need four asses

in those seats now.

Oh, my God, Lisa.

What are we gonna do?

You're gonna go.

What?

I don't wanna go.

How are you?

Thank you. Loved the book.

Come on in. Hello,

little baby. Come on up.

Hi. Hello.

Wow, Laura.

What an amazing story.

I cannot believe that beautiful

baby was born at the DMV.

So Thea,

any kids?

No, never

been pregnant.

So why another pregnancy book?

Isn't the market a bit flooded?

Well, this

one's different.

It's not a how-to book or a

bunch of rules and recipes.

These stories are ultimately

about the birth of a new love.

We're late.

I can't believe she

booked with Vista.

It can be messy but in the

end you're much stronger

for having

gone through it.

Even if you did

something you may regret.

And to be honest,

I was just helping out.

You know, I shouldn't even really be

sitting up here. It was Nick Steinwald

who's sitting in

the audience right now.

He's responsible

for the whole thing.

He believed in the book

from the beginning and...

believed in me.

And I really can't thank

him enough for that.

Stand up!

Get him a mike.

She sings your praises. What is

about the book that appealed to you?

Um, well, uh...

I thought Suzie's book had a fresh

and funny perspective on pregnancy.

Thea was right when

she said it was a book

about how love can

see you through anything.

And how...

if you love someone,

you can forgive

them for all of the...

crazy and idiotic

things they do.

Because love

is a leap of faith.

And...

sometimes you just

have to jump.

Don't you?

Wow. Okay. I'm gonna

jump in here for a second

and, uh, thank you both so much.

Again, the book is "I'm So Over This,

What It's Really

Like to Be Pregnant. "

There's a link on

our website, TheVista. Com

One last thing, Nick. Do

you know how cute you are?

Uh, no.

No, he

doesn't, does he?

Okay, thank

you very much.

Hey. Guess what?

The producer said there's

been over 100,000 hits

on the show's link

to your book. Yeah.

That's fantastic.

Thanks, Claire.

Thank you.

Hey.

Thank you.

It's the least

I could do.

I meant what I said about

I can't thank you enough,

you know, now

that it's all over.

What's over?

Working together,

being together, just

togetherness in general.

It doesn't have to be.

We made a good book together.

We can make another one.

Would you

wanna do that?

Yes. Yes, I would.

Still feel backed up?

Thanks, Greg.

Should it

freak me out

that he knows more about

your bowels than I do?

Uh, maybe that's

a good thing.

If I've been timing these

right, and I'm sure I have,

you're up in ten,

nine, eight, seven...

Ow!

Yesl Just six

seconds off.

What I'd miss?

We're contracting

every half hour.

You okay?

We're gonna kick

this puppy out at 0900.

They should

head out now.

No one's

going anywhere

the doctor said to

wait until every 15...

Wait. You're way off.

That one was not good.

Jesus. She's

having a baby. Now!

What do you mean?

Okay. No, no, no.

What the hell

are we going to do?

Move! Move!

My baby got ten

on the APGAR scores

your baby's maybe

like a seven or a eight.

If it's a boy, feel

free to name him Carl.

I forgot. Okay.

Get the epidural.

Don't screw this up.

Are you ready?

Let's hope.

I Love you.

I love you, too.

It's your fault.

Semper Fi.

Push!

Oh, not yet.
