Narrator: Here it comes…Oh, no it’s not…Oh, here it comes again…Oh false alarm!
Misty: …Oh man, it’s midnight. What’s going on? (Winona screaming) What the…? (In the living room)
Winona: (Panting) Steven!
Steven: I’m here.
Winona: Get the car keys! (The door opens)
Misty: (Yawns) Huh? Winona!
Winona: (Pants) Oh man, these contractions are getting closer.
Steven: We’ll leave as soon as I find the car keys. (Misty walks in the room)
Misty: Is everything okay?
Winona: (Sarcastic) Oh yeah! Everything is just peachy! I’m on top of the world! (Screaming) I’M HAVING A BABY! Steven, have you found the keys yet?
Steven: Not yet! I could have sworn I put them on the table. (Misty opens the front door)
Misty: Oh Steven! They’re right here!
Steven: My bad! (Winona growls)
Misty: You really need to stop leaving your keys in the front door.
Steven: I’ll put that on my to-do list! Come on Winnie, let’s go to the hospital!
Misty: Go on, guys! I’ll take care of Wallace. (They leave) Great and I have class tomorrow morning. (The next morning in Misty’s room)
Wallace: Aunt Misty! Aunt Misty! (Misty snoring) Wow, she’s loud. Aunt Misty, wake up! (She opens her eyes and groans) Mommy isn’t in her room.
Misty: Huh? Oh, little guy. Your mom went to the hospital late last night while you were still sleeping. She went to have your baby brother or sister.
Wallace: Really? When will they be back? Do you know what it is yet?
Misty: I don’t know anything yet, kiddo. (Car pulls up)
Wallace: That’s Mommy! (Looks out the window) That’s Steven’s car! They brought my new brother or sister!
Misty: No way! That’s impossible! (Thinking) Although, considering how Wallace was out of her in a matter of mere hours, she could have had this baby in no time.
Wallace: I gotta see! (He runs out the door)
Misty: Hold up Wallace! (Outside the building)
Steven: Careful Winnie!
Wallace: Mommy, you’re back!
Misty: Slow down Wallace!
Winona: (Weakly) Hi honey.
Wallace: Huh? Hey, where’s the baby?
Steven: No baby yet kiddo!
Winona: The baby just wasn’t ready to come out.
Misty: False alarm. Did the doctor say when it would be ready?
Winona: Unsure. I was sure I was going to have it last night with the contractions. Plus, I’m already a week past my due date.
Steven: Well since I’m back here, I’m gonna wash up and get ready for work.
Winona: Didn’t you tell your boss that I was nine months pregnant?
Steven: He really doesn't care. All he wants is for me to be at work and said I’m not the one who’s giving birth. (Winona groans)
Misty: I’ll help you out Winona! I guess I can miss classes today.
Winona: Now Misty, don’t go skipping classes because of me. Go to class.
Misty: Are you sure? I don’t like the idea of you being in the apartment all day with a noisy three year old!
Winona: Misty, just go to class.
Misty: Okay. Just call me if you need anything. (Later at the University)
Grace: Misty, wake up. (Misty groans) Come on now. Class hasn’t even started yet and you’re already sleeping.
Misty: Oh man.
Grace: Wow, you’re never this tired.
Misty: I didn’t get much sleep last night. Winona was having contractions. (Yawns)
Grace: Did she have the baby yet?
Misty: No. She and Steven came back and said it was just a false alarm.
Grace: Rough. I just hope you have enough time to balance the test we’re having next week.
Misty: Oh man, you’re right. We are having a test next week. Hopefully she’ll give birth in a couple of days, so that’ll leave me a few days before she comes home from the hospital and the apartment becomes a danger zone. (Phone rings) Oh man, Winona’s calling me! (She walks out of the room)
Grace: She acts like she’s married to Winona. (Later at lunch)
Brock: You look terrible.
Marisa: You wouldn’t be looking pretty yourself if you found yourself waking up at three in the morning and working ten-hour days at a job you despise.
Brock: Nope. I actually enjoy my job and Suzy isn’t so rough on me.
Harley: She might not be so rough on you on the job, but what about in bed?
Brock: HARLEY?!
Marisa: I’m surprised. I’d expect Ash or Marcus to say that, but not you.
Brock: We haven’t reached that point in the relationship.
Harley: In other words, she’s not giving you anything?
Brock: You’ve got that right! (Marisa yawns) Man, you really look tired.
Marisa: I hope I can stay awake for my last class. (Puts her head down) Ouch! (Misty walks up)
Brock: Whoa and I thought Marisa looked bad. (Marisa picks her head up)
Marisa: I’d slap you right now, but I just don’t have the energy.
Misty: Work killing you?
Marisa: You don’t even know the half of it. What’s up with you Misty?
Misty: It’s Winona. I shouldn’t have told her to call me if she needed anything. She already called me twice in my journalism class and made me late to my math course.
Brock: She’s not having the baby yet, is she?
Misty: No. She’s only calling me because Steven, Lanette, and Bebe are at work and have to turn their phones off. Every time she calls she wants something different. Remind me to never have kids.
Marisa: Right behind you on that one. (Phone rings) I’m hearing ringing sounds again!
Brock: That’s a phone!
Marisa: I know what it is, dumbass! God damn it! They always call me at that job because someone keeps calling out sick.
Harley: Well, that seems unfair to always go to you since you’re working and going to school.
Marisa: Well yesterday, it was my boss…I bet the son of a bitch was hungover. But that’s life! Huh? My phone wasn’t going off!
Misty: No, it’s mine…AGAIN! I need to take this. (She gets up)
Brock: I sure hope Winona is okay. But as long as I don’t have to see her give birth again, I’ll be fine.
Marisa: You’re preaching to the choir!
Brock: Hey Marisa, I was wondering how Tracey and Marcus are doing? You know I don’t see them that often.
Marisa: They’re fine. Tracey’s been working at a hotel as a bellhop.
Harley: I can just imagine the hot-sex role-play!
Marisa: You know Marcus said the same thing.
Harley: What’d you say when he said that?
Marisa: I beat him with a book and told him to shut up. (Picks up a book)
Harley: (Nervous laugh) So how is the old boy?
Marisa: Marcus is working on a new production, so that’s keeping him pretty busy.
Harley: You should think about going back into theatre. You were good in high school.
Marisa: Not with my work schedule. (Misty walks back)
Misty: Sorry you guys, I have to cut it short today. I have to pick up some items for Winona at the store. I’ll see you later. (A little later at the apartments)
Winona: Oh, you’re back. I hope I’m not bugging you.
Misty: (Slowly) No…Not at all.
Winona: I really appreciate it Misty.
Misty: I’m going to take a bath before going to work. (She goes into the bathroom) Peace at last. (Starts the water) What a day! (Thinking) But the day isn’t even over yet. At least I’ll be somewhere away from Winona…Just as long as she doesn’t call me at work too. I shouldn’t be that way towards her. She took me in and has put up with me for the last couple of months. The least I could do is help her out. She can’t have more than a few more days left of this pregnancy. (Knock on the door)
Wallace: Aunt Misty! Aunt Misty! Mommy needs help! Mommy needs help! Aunt Misty!
Misty: (Sighs) I should just drown myself in this tub! (She puts on her robe and leaves the room)
Wallace: Aunt Misty! Aunt Misty!
Misty: Stop screaming! I’m here!
Winona: Sorry about that Misty. I was getting something from the ground and now I can’t get back up. Really embarrassing!
Misty: Say no more, I understand. (Groaning and helps Winona off the ground) I would have thought by now you would know your limits.
Winona: I apologize again!
Misty: (Sighs) I’m going to the bathroom. (Jiggles the handle) Huh? Who’s in there?
Wallace: Sorry Aunt Misty! I had to go! (Misty groans)
Misty: Please tell me he made a number one! (Sighs) I thought I had at least some time to take a bath. (Steven walks inside)
Winona: Hi honey!
Steven: How are you doing? Was there any trouble?
Winona: No trouble at all today. I’m just very tired.
Misty: (Thinking) She’s tired? (The door opens)
Wallace: Bathroom is all yours! (They sniff and groan)
Steven: What is your mother feeding you?
Misty: Ugh! Well, it wasn’t a number one. Oh man! I have to go to work. If anyone wants to use the bathtub, feel free to use it.
Steven: Okay. Eh…I’ll just wait until that smell leaves the room. (A little later at the diner)
Theresa: Break time!
Misty: I’ll join you! (They go outside)
Theresa: Oh man, I need one so bad. (Lights up a cigarette) Oh yeah, that’s heaven! Misty, you look like you need a puff too.
Misty: I need more than just a cigarette to take away the pain from today. Maybe a shot of tequila!
Theresa: What’s the matter?
Misty: It’s Winona! She and that baby are driving me nuts!
Theresa: She had the baby?
Misty: Not yet. She had a false alarm last night and has been driving me nuts all day. I know I have no right to complain. She’s having a baby and she’s already a week late, but this is nuts. I had to go to the store twice today to get her some cheese because she had a craving.
Theresa: I thought the crazy cravings stopped at one point.
Misty: No. Thank God Steven is back so he can watch her for the rest of the night.
Theresa: Well, that’s rough. I just saw Winona about a week ago and she looked like she was ready to pop.
Misty: No kidding. I just know that I have a big test worth 20% of my entire grade coming up and God knows I won’t have any peace over there. (A little later)
Abigail: Thank you and come again. (The door closes) It’s been pretty slow today.
Theresa: Don’t jinx it, Auntie!
Abigail: Hey, we need our customers to make a living, you know. Your generation is full of slackers that don’t know the true meaning of a little hard work.
Theresa: Don’t go dissing our generation!
Abigail: And it wouldn’t hurt for your generation to start using actual words that are in the dictionary and not words made up by rappers. (The door opens) Oh, welcome!
Steven: Hi ladies!
Theresa: What are you doing here Steven?
Steven: Misty, do you think that Wallace can stay here at the restaurant with you until your shift is over? Winona started having contractions again and it might be time that she gives birth.
Misty: I can’t keep an eye on a three year old during my shift. Why didn’t you take him to Winona’s parents?
Steven: It’s out of our way, you know that! Plus, Lanette and Bebe aren’t home yet. Please Misty!
Misty: (Sighs) I’ll do it!
Steven: Thanks again Misty. I have to go to the hospital…Again!
Misty: What has my life become?
Abigail: I could let you off early today Misty.
Misty: I would greatly appreciate it, Miss Abby. And I promise that this won’t be a full-time thing. (Horn honking)
Theresa: Don’t be alarmed you guys, but there’s a double-decker bus outside. And there’s a bunch of old ladies coming out!
Abigail: And we’re back in business today!
Theresa: They must have come back from the casino across town.
Abigail: Sorry Misty, but I think we may need you for this one. We’re kind of understaffed today. If you could stay an extra couple of hours, I would greatly appreciate it. (Later that night back at the apartments)
Misty: What a day! (Thinking) Maybe now I can get some rest!
Wallace: Aunt Misty, can I watch Barney?
Misty: (Thinking) Oh right, I’m watching over Wallace! (Aloud) Wallace, it’s time for a bath and then time for sleep.
Wallace: I don’t want to! I want to watch Barney!
Misty: Well now, it’s bath time! You can watch Barney tomorrow!
Wallace: I want Barney NOW!
Misty: Bath…NOW!
Wallace: I want Barney! (Later that night)
Misty: Relax Misty, don’t lose your cool! You still have a little bit of study time. It’s only 11:00pm! Damn it all! Who knew a three year old could have a straight-up temper tantrum for three hours! What am I saying? Three year olds are prone to doing three-hour tantrums. Thank God he tired himself out! (Phone rings) Who is it now? (Picks up) Hello.
Ash: Hey Misty.
Misty: Ash! What are you doing calling at 11:00pm?
Ash: I don’t know. I just got off from my shift and I thought you’d be up. How was your day?
Misty: I’ve had better.
Ash: If you’d like, you could come over tomorrow. I’m off and I’m sure you could use a break from Winona.
Misty: Well, I only have one early morning class tomorrow, but I’ll see what I can do. (The next morning)
Steven: What a night! (Misty yawns)
Misty: You’re back?
Winona: (Annoyed) Yes, we’re back once again.
Steven: Another false alarm. That baby just doesn’t want to come out. I am exhausted!
Winona: (Angry) You’re exhausted? You’re not the one who has to squeeze out a human from your body!
Steven: I’ll just shut up now.
Misty: (Annoyed) I’m going to school now.
Winona: Misty, I want to thank you for yesterday, putting up with me and Wallace. I really do appreciate you and all you do.
Misty: (Thinking) There, a little appreciation. At least she appreciates you!
Winona: Steven, I called my mother. I want you to take Wallace to my parents. He’s gonna stay there for a couple of days.
Steven: Why me?
Winona: JUST DO IT! (Steven sighs) I’ve gotta pee! (Later that day at Ash’s house)
Ash: Wow, you’ve had it rough yesterday.
Misty: I’m glad I have a little time to rest before going to work later. But enough about my day, what about you?
Ash: I haven’t really seen too much action on the front lines. Most of the time, I’m just handing out speeding tickets and helping out Elita in the front office.
Misty: As long as you’re careful. There are a lot of crazy people out there and I just want you to be safe.
Ash: You know I will. (Beeper goes off) Crap, what the hell do they want? (Dials his phone) What’s up? Really! How many? I’ll meet you there! (Hangs up) I’ve got to go. I have important business to attend to back at the station.
Misty: That’s okay Ash. I know how intense your job can get. It’s about time I get some studying done before work. (A little later at the police station)
Ash: Oh man, this is intense!
Lunick: Just pick, man!
Ash: I CAN’T CHOOSE!
Cameron: Which is it little man, the meatball sub or the pastrami?
Ash: Meatball!
Lunick: Good choice!
Cameron: Thank goodness for Spenser’s birthday we get treated to these yummy subs! (Joel walks in the room)
Joel: What are you ladies doing?
Ash: Eating subs! Want some?
Joel: Don’t you have work to do, rookie?
Cameron: Its Spenser’s birthday.
Joel: Like I was saying Ash, you have work to do! Drink up! Can’t have party subs without party sodas!
Lunick: Joel actually celebrates birthdays?
Joel: Of course. I’m not all about work and perfect order.
Ash: You could have fooled me! (A little later at the diner)
Theresa: I’m going for my break Aunt Abby! (She walks outside) Misty? Are you studying?
Misty: I have to! I figure this dark alley is peaceful enough and at least I can get ten minutes of studying in. I have absolutely no peace at home.
Theresa: Did she have the baby yet?
Misty: Nope. It was another false alarm.
Theresa: That baby just doesn’t want to come out.
Misty: Well that’s the end of my study break. I’ll meet you back inside. (Later that night back at the apartments)
Steven: Long day?
Misty: Yeah, but it was better than yesterday. How’s Winona?
Steven: She wants that baby out of her now.
Misty: What did the doctor say on how to speed up the labor process?
Steven: Sex.
Misty: You’re kidding, right?
Steven: No, I’m not. The doctor said the sure-fire way to get things going is to have sex.
Misty: So what now?
Steven: Well Misty, Wallace is at his grandparents and Winona kind of wants to do this, so I would say go into your room and turn the radio up, real loud. (In Misty’s room)
Marisa: That sounds rough, Misty. I have no right to complain about my job compared to the crap you’re going through.
Misty: I’m going to study tonight even if it kills me.
Marisa: Good luck with that. That’s why I’m glad I picked art classes this semester, not too many tests!
Misty: Rub it in why don’t you! (Winona groaning loudly)
Marisa: What the hell was that?
Misty: I think that was Winona! I thought it was a lion being eaten by a bear. I am going to study now. I’ll talk to you later.
Marisa: Good luck to you. (They hang up)
Misty: Where was I? (Groaning continues) Oh, who am I kidding? I’m not going to get any work done tonight!
Narrator: As crazy and insane as it sounds, that baby still didn’t come out. Even with the sex! Usually that’ll work! Well it's two days later and Sunday no less! It is the day before Misty’s big test and she has barely had any time to study. Luckily, she decided to go somewhere to study that was peaceful.
Misty: I appreciate you letting me study at your house.
Marisa: I’m surprised you’re not at the library.
Misty: Did you forget? The library is going through renovation and won’t be open for another month.
Marisa: Oh yeah. I forgot that since I’m only at the school twice a week. Well, it’s no problem if you stay here and study. I can work on my drawing while you read. Hope the sound of graphite hitting paper doesn’t bug you.
Misty: Better than a screaming three year old. Man, that job of yours is really killing you.
Marisa: Yeah, I’m not a big fan of working from six in the morning until about five in the afternoon. It’s dark when I get there and it’s dark when I leave. How messed up is that? (Back at the apartments)
Winona: Misty! Misty! Where are you? (Goes into her room) Misty? Oh, there’s a note! “I’ve gone somewhere to study. I’ll be back later.” Damn! Oh man! (Pants heavily) I have to get help now! (Walks out the door) Lanette! (Knocks on the door) Lanette, please I need help. (The door opens)
Bebe: Winona, what’s wrong?
Winona: Where’s Lanette?
Bebe: She’s at the gym right now.
Winona: Damn it! I need a ride to the hospital! I’m having the baby!
Bebe: I can give you a ride sweetie! Let’s go! (In the car) I’ll get you there in no time!
Winona: I need you to call Steven or Misty.
Bebe: I’m on it!
Winona: Where could she be?
Narrator: Back at Marisa’s house, let’s just say the two girls were out cold. I guess they needed to “saw some logs” if you get my meaning.
Marisa: (Dreamily) Oh Tracey, that…doesn’t go there. (Misty snoring)
Narrator: Eh…yeah. And as for Steven, he was at a bar pounding a few. Who knew a guy could get totally loaded in just thirty minutes! And now it is time for the miracle of birth…
Winona: (Screaming) GET THIS FUCKING THING OUT NOW!
Bebe: Keep on…breathing Winona! Do you need me to do something?
Winona: Get me Steven! Get me Lanette! Get me Misty! GET SOMEBODY NOW! (Bebe grabs the phone)
Bebe: I couldn’t get anyone of them yet. I know, I’ll call your parents. What’s their…
Winona: Not them! Anybody but them! (A little later at the apartments)
Lanette: Bebe, I’m home! Bebe, where are you? Huh? There’s a message. (Beep)
Bebe: Lanette, it’s me. We have a little problem here. I’m at the hospital with Winona and she’s about to give birth. Steven and Misty are no where to be found and I have the feeling she doesn’t want me around. But she doesn’t want to be alone. I think she wants to be with someone she knows and trusts. (Winona screaming in the background) Please hurry over! (Back at the hospital)
Doctor: Good Winona. Just keep breathing.
Winona: These contractions just keep on getting closer. (Phone rings)
Bebe: I’ll get that! Hello.
Lanette: How is she?
Bebe: She’s ready to give birth now.
Lanette: Okay Bebe, here’s the deal. I just need you to stay there with Winnie until I get there. I am going to try and find Steven and we’ll be at the hospital as soon as possible. Just do me a favor and try to keep her company. She doesn’t like to be alone.
Bebe: Okay. (Silently) Hurry up. (She walks over to Winona) Sweetie, I just talked to Lanette and she said that she’s going to find Steven and they’ll be over soon.
Winona: Okay. Thank you Bebe! (Back in Lanette’s car)
Lanette: Where is that boy? (Dials phone) Come on Steven; pick up your God damn phone!
Bartender: Hello.
Lanette: Who the hell is this?
Bartender: I’m the bartender at Cheers for Beers. What can I do for you?
Lanette: I’m looking for a guy named Steven Stone.
Bartender: Yeah, he’s here! But he’s in no condition to drive.
Lanette: I’ll be right over. (Hangs up) Steven, you have some nerve getting drunk while your girlfriend is having your baby. (A little later at the hospital)
Winona: Where are they?
Bebe: I don’t know. They just said they’d be here soon.
Winona: That was over an hour ago.
Bebe: (Sighs) I’ll try Misty again. (Back at Marisa’s house)
Marisa: (Groans) Whoa, how long was I out for? Oh man, I drooled all over my sketch! (Phone ringing) Huh? Misty, your phone is ringing! (Misty snoring) Oh, she’s completely out of it! (Picks up) Hello.
Bebe: Misty, its Bebe! Winona’s at the hospital and she’s having the baby. Steven is no where to be found and she wanted me to call you. Please Misty, get over here!
Marisa: Whoa! Let me get her up for that one! Misty wake up! (She pushes her) Paging Misty Waterflower, phone call for you!
Misty: (Groans) Five more minutes, please!
Marisa: No more minutes! Winona needs you! She’s at the hospital having the baby!
Misty: I’M UP! (Grabs the phone) She’s having the baby now?
Bebe: Yes. Get over here now!
Misty: What? Why me?
Bebe: GET OVER HERE NOW BEFORE I GET FUCKING ANGRY! (Hangs up)
Misty: She already sounds angry. I have to go now! But if it’s another false alarm, I’m going to be really pissed off. (She gets up) You want to come?
Marisa: Nah. I already saw Winona give birth once before. You go be with her! But you might need this if it takes long. (Throws a book at her)
Misty: Thanks. (A little later at a bar)
Lanette: Where is he?
Bartender: Ooh-la-la! We’ve got a woman in the bar!
Lanette: And I can sue you for sexual harassment! Steven Stone! I’m looking for a guy named Steven Stone!
Steven: (Drunken) Yeah, what do you want?
Lanette: Oh my God, you’re plastered!
Steven: Who are you, my mother? (Passes out)
Lanette: Unbelievable! (Picks him up) We’re leaving!
Bartender: Hey, you still owe me $31.50 for the beers. (Outside)
Lanette: Well thanks a lot, you stinking drunk. Thanks to you, I’m set back from that dress I wanted to buy. (Steven groans) Let me buckle you up so in case we get in a car crash, you won’t go flying through the windshield.
Bum: Got any spare change?
Steven: (Drunken) Get a bum, you job!
Lanette: Here’s a dollar in quarters!
Bum: Thank you ma’am! (He walks away)
Lanette: Let’s go! (They drive off)
Steven: Where are we going?
Lanette: To the hospital. Winnie is having the baby.
Steven: Pooh Bear?
Lanette: (Sarcastic) Yeah, that’s right. We’re going to the Hundred-Acre Woods to see Pooh Bear give birth!
Steven: (Drunken) I didn’t know Pooh Bear was a girl! I guess she is once you see her as a bald-headed dyke!
Lanette: Just shut up! And if you throw up in my car, I will hurt you. (Back at the hospital)
Bebe: Keep breathing. (Winona groans)
Winona: Please tell me some good news.
Bebe: Misty’s on her way.
Winona: Not you!
Doctor: You’re almost there.
Winona: Almost? How much is almost? (The door opens)
Misty: Oh my God! I’m so sorry I left you alone Winona.
Winona: Oh Misty, thank goodness you’re here.
Bebe: Well that’s one person found. (The door opens) Oh thank God!
Lanette: I’m here!
Bebe: Where’s Steven? (In the bathroom)
Steven: Why did I keep saying hit me? (Throws up) Ugh… (Back in the room)
Lanette: Don't ask. (Winona screaming)
Doctor: Ah! She’s fully dilated! Winona, it’s time to start pushing.
Bebe: We’ll get out of your way!
Winona: Wait, don’t leave me! Please!
Doctor: Pick one to stay with you!
Winona: Lanette!
Lanette: Me?
Doctor: Okay Winona, we’re gonna start pushing.
Bebe: Um, we’ll stay outside!
Misty: Um yeah, we’ll be out here! (They leave the room)
Bebe: Sorry for raising my voice like that before. It’s just that Winona isn’t really used to me and she wanted someone close to her to be with her in this delicate moment.
Misty: I understand. After having all of my friends witness Wallace’s birth, I think it comforts her to be with loved ones…or close to that!
Bebe: What’s with the book?
Misty: For school. I have a major test tomorrow and I have had the most frustrating week studying for it.
Bebe: Come on, we’ll go in the waiting room and I can help you study for it. (A little later in the hospital room)
Misty: She’s so beautiful.
Lanette: She looks like her father. I’ll be sure to tell Steven that when he wakes up.
Misty: Do you think it was wise to leave him in the waiting room alone?
Lanette: I don’t care.
Bebe: Did you decide on a name?
Winona: Not yet. I’ll talk it over with Steven, as soon as he wakes up.
Lanette: My advice is to yell at him once he’s suffering from that hangover. Make him suffer.
Winona: Hey Misty. I want to apologize to you first off. I’m sorry for this past week.
Misty: I will admit that you did get on my nerves to a point where I was plotting to leave and move back with my sisters. But somehow, I just couldn’t do that.
Lanette: You were willing to move in with Bratty, Self-Absorbed, and Vague?
Misty: It was a REALLY rough week.
Bebe: Sorry we weren’t there most of the week?
Winona: Bebe…Thank you for everything today. I wouldn’t have gotten through the day if it wasn’t for you.
Lanette: (Giggles) You did good today, babe! (The door opens) Oh look, Sleeping Beauty is up.
Misty: We’ll get out of your hair. (They leave the room)
Steven: Oh man! I feel like I’ve been hit by a bus.
Winona: You’re lucky I’m not driving that bus.
Steven: Winona, what are you...? Oh crap! Tell me it didn’t happen!
Winona: Yes Steven. I just had the baby. (Angrily) Thank you for sharing in the experience!
Steven: Oh man, I screwed up. Look, I’m sorry for what I did and I can’t even remember what I did and…
Winona: Stop it Steven. Look, I know I’ve been a little unbearable the last few days. I’ll admit that! I really don’t blame you for going to a bar to get relaxed.
Steven: (Sighs) I just feel really bad for not being there when you needed me the most. All alone in the delivery room!
Winona: Steven…do you want to see your daughter?
Steven: Daughter? I have a…Daughter? (Walks over and picks her up) Wow, I have a daughter. (Tears up) Welcome to the world…Um…Winnie, we need to pick a name!
Winona: Girl names? Oh man…I thought for sure I was going to have a boy. All I came up with were boy names.
Steven: Well...maybe we can work with that. What were you going to name her if she was a boy?
Winona: Prescott.
Steven: Prescott? Ugh…Okay, how about Pricilla?
Winona: She doesn’t look like a Pricilla!
Steven: Okay, what else?
Winona: (Giggles) Well it’s silly, but I wanted to name him Steven Jr.
Steven: Okay…Let’s see, there’s Stella, Stephanie…
Winona: Oh…Stephanie!
Steven: You like it? Hmm…She does look like a Stephanie.
Winona: Stephanie…I’m liking it every time I say it. (A couple of days later at the University)
Misty: I got a C!
Grace: I thought you hated getting C’s.
Misty: I thought I got worse than that because I barely studied for this one.
Grace: So, are you still thinking about moving out of Winona’s place?
Misty: I’ve thought about it, but I’m going to stay.
Grace: How the hell are you going to get any work done?
Misty: Simple, I hide at Lanette’s place. And once the renovations are done, I’ll hide in the library.
Grace: What about the noise? God knows that the baby is going to be crying up a storm! Plus Winona is probably going to sucker you into watching after the new baby and Wallace.
Misty: Oh thanks to the horrible events last week, I am completely off the hook from babysitting.
Grace: Oh really?
