(Suzanne walks into Sugarbakers with AJ)
Charlene: hi!! And how is this handsome little boy today?
Suzanne: Just fine....Julia do you have those baby gates up? He loves to wander away now that he discovered he can walk
Julia: Of course I do! Hallie and Dixie are the same way....they are right next to me one minute and the next minute they are across the room!
Mary Jo: I guess I better be getting used to this again!
Charlene: That's right! In another week you are gonna
have a baby!
Mary Jo: Oh c'mon charlene it probably will be longer than that...babies never come when they are supposed to.
Julia: You have a point there
Charlene: Where is JD anyway? Isn't he stopping here
before he leaves for the airport?
Mary Jo: Yea, but he had to drop the kids off at
school though. I wish he wasn't going away NOW ya know?
Suzanne: Wait a minute where is JD going?
Julia: You remember he has to fly to Miami to look at that pitcher in college.
Suzanne: You mean he has to leave today right when you two are gonna have a
baby any day now?
Mary Jo: Yes he does but the baby isn't due for> another week and he will be
home on Friday
Julia: That is true Suzanne
Suzanne: I suppose so
Mary Jo: Hey ya'll, I'm starving, how about we go out for lunch?
Charlene: what about Jd?
JD: (walks in) im right here
Charlene: that is so freaky how people do that! It spooks me!
Mary Jo: hi sweetheart! You're leaving already?
JD: Yeah, my flight leaves in an hour. I'll see you in one week, ok? And if anything happens, I have my beeper
Mary Jo: Ok, I'll miss you
JD: I'll miss you too honey
Mary Jo: Bye
(they kiss and he leaves)
Julia: ok when we going to lunch?
Mary Jo: Now, I'm starving!
Suzanne: I agree, Julia, let's go grab the kids
Julia: Good idea
(they leave the store)

(At McDonalds)
Julia: can you all just order me a salad...these girls want to go play in the darn play place!
Suzanne: so does AJ. Here, I will go with you Julia
Mary Jo: Sure thing girls, me and Charlene will take care of it
Charlene: Sure thing!
Julia and Suzanne: Thanks, you girls are great!

(They're back at the office)
Julia: Isn't it amazing? A play place at McDonalds is what it takes to wear my daughters out!
Suzanne: I know! Aj fell asleep in the car! He never falls asleep in the car! Maybe when the won't sleep we should bring them there
Mary Jo: I hope my child comes out to be like yours, they are all perfect angels
Julia: Thank you Mary Jo, that's very sweet.
Suzanne: Well, look who Aj has for a mother
Julia: SUZANNE!
Suzanne: what?
Charlene: Every time someone yells at you, you say what....you should know what "what" is by now!
Julia: Well put Charlene
Charlene: Thank you Julia, even hicks have their moments
Suzanne: ok now what I don't get is why you can call yourself a hick but when I do it you get all defensive!
Charlene: because when you do it you have an attitude!
Suzanne: I DO NOT Charlene
Julia: Yes you do Suzanne, and you know it!
Suzanne: Well, maybe just a little, but I'm just joking
Charlene: Well, sometimes you hurt my feelings when you say it Suzanne. Mary Jo you are being awfully quiet. I mean here we are telling each other off and you don't have a word to say!
Mary Jo: Oh sorry, I just suddenly have this sharp pain in my stomach
Julia: Well, you are only a week from term
Mary Jo: Oh Julia, it's nothing, it's just every once in a while, I'm fine, it will go away
Julia: Are you sure Mary Jo?
Mary Jo: Yes Julia, I'm fine
Julia: Ok, if you say so, I trust you
Mary Jo: Thank you!
Suzanne: Anyway why do you say I have an attitude?
Julia: You're always thinking about yourself Suzanne! I can't believe you!
Suzanne: Well, SORRRY!
Charlene: You should be! You have an attitude, and you know you do, you always have and you always will. I don't know why Anthony stays married to you!
Suzanne: That was so uncalled for!
Charlene: It's the truth!
Suzanne: IT IS NOT! I might have a tiny attitude, but leave Anthony out of this!
Charlene: Sorry about that, I just got caught up in the moment
Suzanne: Apology accepted Charlene
Julia: Its amazing...she gets so nice at times
Charlene: Isn't it though!
Mary Jo: Sorry to interrupt, but these pains keep on coming back
Julia: Mary Jo what did I tell you...
Mary Jo: I just thought it might be lunch, but I think I'm in labor.....
Suzanne: This is great, just great
Charlene: Now what are you cranky about?!
Suzanne: Well if you ask me, this is just going to be a big mess, with JD out of town, and the weather outside is going to mess up my hair!
Charlene: its beautiful out!
Mary Jo: can we stop talking about the weather!!!!
Suzanne: Well sorry, but my hair is going to get all mussed from the hot weather. I think I'll stay here while y'all go do your thing
Mary Jo: excuse me!
Julia: No you will not! You are coming with us!
Suzanne: Make me
Julia: (gets up yanks Suzanne off couch) There-you're up so you are coming
Suzanne: NO I AM NOT!
Julia: fine I'll drag you if i have to
Suzanne: Go ahead and try it!
Julia: Fine! (Grabs Suzanne by hair and drags her toward the door)
Suzanne: Julia the hair!!
Julia: I don't care about your hair, Mary Jo is in labor!
Mary Jo: at least someone remembered!
Suzanne: I remembered, I just, don't care at this moment
Julia: Suzanne! How rude!
Suzanne: Well! If you wouldn't have grabbed my hair we could have left by now, and if you'll excuse me, I have to go freshen up
Julia: Suzanne i have had just about enough of you! we rushed you to the hospital faster than you can look at yourself in the mirror and Mary Jo was there for you! you owe her a lot right now so unless you want to be strapped to the hood of my car then you better get in there right now!
Mary Jo: If we don't leave soon, someone's going to be delivering my baby in this store
Charlene: lets stop arguing and leave!
Suzanne: Fine!!!
Suzanne: (mumbles) Big sisters, can't live with them, can't live without them
Julia: You're damn right!
Suzanne: Oh, you heard that????
Julia: Of course I did!
Suzanne: Opps!
Julia: Big opps! Now let's go!
Charlene: Finally someone is thinking around here!
Mary Jo: There is no point in leaving now….
Julia: What do you mean?
Suzanne: excuse me?!
Mary Jo: I mean we aren't going to make it. There isn't enough time. The hospital is a half an hour away!
Charlene: This isn't good
Julia: Uh-oh. Suzanne, Charlene, go get some towels and scissors and hurry up!
Mary Jo: WHOO, WHOO, HEHE
Suzanne: Well we got to call somebody don't we?!
Julia: There's no time! Get the towels!
Suzanne: I thought you said babies never come when they are supposed to and they are always a long time
Julia: Well you had a baby! Remember that and think about it!
Mary Jo: SHUT UP!!!!!!!
Charlene: Spaz attack...
Julia: Sorry Mary Jo
Mary Jo: If you want to call someone call JD and tell him to get home fast and why!
Charlene: I'll call him, but I don't think it will do much good. He is probably on the plane already!
Mary Jo: I DON'T CARE, JUST GET HIM HERE! AHHHHH!! AND FAST!!
Charlene: Mary Jo I'm no....
Mary Jo: DO IT!!!!
Charlene: Ok, I'll call him
Julia: Mary Jo, just breath
Mary Jo: Julia, when you're having a baby and there's 3 different conversations going on, and you try to breath, let me know! Then I might try it!
Suzanne: Julia lay off she has two kids...she knows what she is doing
Julia: For once, you have a point Suzanne
Mary Jo: Suzanne if you don't stop talking I am going to mess up your face with my foot got it?!
Suzanne: Sorry Mary Jo
Mary Jo: Just everyone shut up, except for Julia
Charlene: Why Julia?
Mary Jo: Julia actually has something worth while to hear
Charlene: Ok, I'll be quiet. Mary Jo, do you want Suzanne and me to go upstairs?
Mary Jo: Thank you Charlene, that would help me a lot! OWWWWW
Suzanne: Julia you are actually going to do this? No kidding ?
Julia: I have no choice, you've got to do what you've got to do
Charlene: well we'll be upstairs I guess
Julia: Thank you
Mary Jo: I cant believe JD isn't here...we had everything planned out and now he's not here and all this is happening….. wait a minute! JD did this to me, I'm going to kill him!!!!
Julia: I'm sure he'll be here soon
Mary Jo: This baby's going to be here "soon"
Julia: That's right, sorry Mary Jo If it's any consolation, I'm here, and I'll be here until the end
Mary Jo: It does help. Thank you
Julia: I think I see the head! Now Mary Jo, I want you to push, with all your might!
Mary Jo: Ok, here goes. RRRRRRRRRR
Julia: 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10 Release
Mary Jo: AHHHHHH! I'm going to die I just know it!
Julia: Mary Jo screaming doesn't help all that much
Mary Jo: It helps me, so just SHUT THE HELL UP!
Julia: I've never heard you talk like that
Mary Jo: You just did....if I remember you weren't so nice yourself when Hallie and Dixie were born
Julia: But I never used a single cuss word. I just thought them. A lot of them and every second
Mary Jo: shows what you remember...
Julia: Well, they say labor does strange things to women
Mary Jo: I'll say...you could have killed Reese I remember
Julia: If I remember correctly, I tried… I wrapped the call button cord around his neck and when a contraction came I pulled it toghter
Mary Jo: And you punched the doctor because of the epidural he wouldn't and couldn't give you...
Julia: Yes I did, I feel sorry for you, not having one
Mary Jo: ME TOOOOOOOOO. Come here Julia, come really close
Julia: Why?
Mary Jo: JUST DO IT!
Julia: Ok, ok
(Mary Jo grabs Julia by the collar)
Mary Jo: I am dying here, get this kid out of me
Julia: Ok, ok, calm down, now push!
Mary Jo: AHHHHHHHHHH
Julia: 1,2,3,4........ Ok, one more push and you should have a baby
Mary Jo: Stop counting! It's so annoying!
Julia: Ok, just trying to help
Mary Jo: well you're not!
Julia: Ok, now give me a good, long push, give it all you've got
Mary Jo: Before I do, give me your hand
Julia: Why?
Mary Jo: Since JD isn't here to break his hand, I'm going to break yours
Julia: Normally I would tell you no way no chance but because you're my best friend you can break my hand
Mary Jo: (Takes her hand) Thank you
Julia: Ok ready? Now push!
Mary Jo: OWWWWWWWAHHHHHHHOWWWWW
Julia: Beautiful!!! C'mon Mary Jo just a little bit more! OMG!!! You have a baby! It's a boy!
(Mary Jo breathes deeply in relief)
Mary Jo: I love boys
Julia: We all do. Now was that so bad?
Mary Jo: was it so bad for you? (Sarcastically)
Julia: Ok I get the picture
Mary Jo: That was worse than Quint and Claudia combined!
Julia: ok then...that sounds pretty bad
Charlene: We hear crying does the mean we can come back down
Mary Jo: Yes Charlene, come down and see my beautiful baby boy
Suzanne: What about me?
Julia: You're in time out
Suzanne: Julia, get serious! Mary Jo, is it ok?
Mary Jo: Listen to Julia, you're in time out
Suzanne: What for?
Julia: We are just kidding...go check on Hallie, Dixie and AJ then you can come down
Suzanne: Ok.You make me do all the dirty work Julia
Julia: Oh yeah Suzanne, I could see how checking on babies is hard compared to delivering one
Suzanne: Well I've done both!
Julia: So have I! Twice! Three if you count Hallie and Dixie separate
Mary Jo: Well I topped y'all. I did it three separate times
Charlene: Well that you did and we are proud of you
Mary Jo: Thank you, I just wish JD was here to see his new son
JD: (walks in) I'm here! What happened? Is everything alright? Did I miss it?
Charlene: JD, how do you do it? i mean we ask where you are and then all of a sudden you are right here!
(Mary Jo holds up her son) Mary Jo: We have a son JD, a beautiful baby boy
JD: We have a son? I can't believe I missed it though
Julia: Charlene you might want to call those paramedics...
Charlene: Right on it Julia
JD: Well what happened? How did you do it Mary Jo?
Mary Jo: Thank Julia. She is the one who got me through it and delivered the baby. If it wasn't for her I don't know what would have happened
JD: Julia, thank you for being here. I don't know what would have happened if you weren't
Julia: (hugs JD) Well I know Mary Jo would have done the same for me
Mary Jo: That's right. And Julia I want to make it up to you some how.
JD: We will think of something
Mary Jo: I got it! To thank you Julia, I want to name him after Hayden. For you, But only if you don't mind
Julia: (starting to cry) Mary Jo! You don't have to!
JD: But we want to
Julia: Well then it's fine with me. Thank you. (Looks up) And I know Hayden would thank you too.
(hugs Mary Jo and JD as paramedics arrive)

HALANDME

We're almost done with it, I'll have it up in less than a week...but I have to tell you the backround surrounding it. Basically...Phillip and Maggie are married, but Phillip finds out that Maggie had a baby girl when she was 16 years old and she gave her up for adoption. It just so happens that the same girl that she gave up for adoption is up for a scholorship to play softball through Phillip's company, well they get together and talk and they become really close. That girl is McKayla. McKayla then has a boyfriend(later a fiance and later husband) named Mark. The four of them go on a weekend campout and the girls become pregnant...and now, 9 months later, one of them(I'm not revealing which one) is in labor...and that's the backround behind our story! So when you see Mark and McKayla's names and they're talking, you'll know who they are!

HALANDME
04-14-2002, 10:55 PM
Ok....we're done with it and I just put it together. I think I'll just post it here! It will be easier! Here it is!


*Phillip walks in from work*
Phillip: Anyone here?
Pearl: just me Mr. Drummond
Philip: Hi Pearl! Where is Maggie
Pearl: She's still at work
Phillip: oh...I didn't think she was going in today because McKayla and Mark are coming over
Pearl: She wasn't going to but they called her and asked her to come in for a few hours, so she said she would.
Phillip: Oh...sounds good, when will she be home?
Pearl: Well she went in about 12 and it's 2:30 now, so I would assume any time.
*Arnold and Sam walk in*
Arnold: Hi Dad...whats up?
Sam: Hi Mr D...you're home early
Phillip: Yeah, I got off a bit earlier, I was going to come home and surprise your mother, but she's not home!
Arnold: I know...I saw her driving into the mall parking lot when we were walking home from school
Phillip: THE MALL?
Arnold: Yeah
Phillip: Hm....I wonder what that's about
Pearl: she probably wanted to pick up a few things
Sam: I don't know, but me and Arnold have to do our homework, so we'll be upstairs
Phillip: Ok boys, if you need any help just hollar
Arnold: Ok, we will dad
*Maggie walks in*
Maggie: well what are you doing home?
Phillip: (hugs her) I came home to surprise you
Maggie: well I’m surprised
Phillip: the boys said they saw you driving into the mall on their way home
Maggie: Oh! Daisy took me out to lunch but I drove my car
Phillip: Oh, ok...so did you have a good day?
Maggie: as good as I can...what time is McKayla coming
Phillip: I think her and Mark are coming over in about an hour
Maggie: good...that means I can sleep for an hour
Phillip: Yeah, go ahead, I'll wake you up when they get here sweetheart.
Maggie: thank you! I have been so tired all day! well, thats being pregnant for ya!
Phillip: Well it will all be over soon! (kisses her) I love you
Maggie: you real know how to charm a woman don't you
Phillip: Well I try
*commercial*
*McKayla and Mark arrive*
McKayla: Hi Arnold, where is my mom?
Arnold: upstairs sleeping...I'll get Dad to wake her up
McKayla: No, I'll go do it. I want to surprise her
Arnold: go right ahead...she's in her room
McKayla: Ok, thanks Arnold!
Mark: hey short man what’s up
Arnold: nuthin Jolly Green Giant

Mark: That's cool! How's married life?
Arnold: I’m not married...
Mark: Oh man Arnold, you're missing out!!! (laughs)
Arnold: Are you INSANE?
Mark: No
Arnold: Dillusional?
Mark: No
Arnold: Then you must be just plain crazy...
Mark: Well maybe!
Arnold: I think you are
Mark: I’m crazy in love probably
Arnold: I get it...ol’ cupids arrow hit ya on the butt
Mark: I guess so
Arnold: Is McKayla excited for the baby?
Mark: Both of them
Arnold: Yeah...that's what I meant. I know that Maggie is excited...but she's always tired
Mark: oh well...Im used to that part...im the oldest of 5 kids
Arnold: GEEZ! That's a lot!
Mark: well, your dad and Maggie combined are going to have 6 kids
Arnold: I never thought about that...
McKayla: never thought about what
Arnold: nothing much...just the fact that between Dad and Maggie there is going to be 6 kids
McKayla: Yeah I know....Mark is one of 5
Mark: i told him
Sam: I never thought about that either...I have 5 brothers and sisters
Arnold: Not yet Sam...
Sam: well soon!
Arnold: Yeah....but hopefully not THAT soon.
Phillip: why not Arnold?
Arnold: I don't know....All the crying and dirty diapers! Even though they'll worship me
Sam: nah uh they'll worship me!
Arnold: No, I'm older
Sam: so you'll be going to college by the time they worship anybody!
Arnold: No, I don't think so
McKayla: Before this argument turns violent I am going to tell y'all right now that they will worship me and mom because, well we're the moms, right mom?
Maggie: Uh---HU
McKayla: What's wrong mom?
Maggie: The baby is coming
McKayla: Oh....WAIT WHAT DID YOU SAY
Maggie: The baby is coming
Phillip: Really? Now?
Arnold: I say I don’t want the baby to come just yet and look what happens-- the baby is on its way
Maggie: I'm sorry Arnold, it can't be helped
McKayla: Mom...is your bag packed?
Maggie: it has been for 3 weeks
McKayla: Ok good, Arnold, could you go get it for us?
Sam: I'll go too
Phillip: I'll umm---I'll...
Maggie: Take me out to the car
Phillip: oh right!
McKayla: *whispers to Mark* if you act that clueless I will hurt you
Mark: He's just nervous hunny
McKayla: so what...come on guys!! We’ve got to go! Babies don’t wait all day ya know!
Maggie: You're telling me....LET'S GO!
Arnold: We're coming!
Sam: Yeah...we couldn't find it!
Phillip: All right everyone, let's go
Maggie: thank you mr commando!
Phillip: You're welcome
*at the hospital*

*in the waiting room everyone is anxiously waiting*
McKayla: Whew...I'm glad we're here
Maggie: You are? YOU ARE?
Mark: why are you so happy McKayla
McKayla: I guess I just am thinking about how soon we'll be here.
Maggie: Don’t get all sentimental on me please!!
McKayla: I'm not getting sentimental
Maggie: Well you sound like it to me!
McKayla: Well I'm not!
Mark: Well, you kind of were...
McKayla: you be quiet
Phillip: Just everyone calm down....Maggie is in a lot of pain
Maggie: *shoots Phillip a look that could kill* I am not not..Im fine
Phillip: Sure you are Maggie...why don't I go get us checked in...McKayla and Mark....stay with Maggie and watch the boys for me.
Maggie: *shouting to Phillip* Im not in pain Im perfectly fine!! You wouldn't know anyway!
Phillip: Then why are you squinching and holding your stomach?
Maggie: I’m not!
Phillip: I'm looking right AT you!
*Phillip walks away smiling and shaking his head*
*McKayla takes her mother to one side of the bench.*
McKayla: Mom...how bad is it REALLY?
Maggie: you really want to know?

McKayla: Yes...I think so
Maggie: Its like having a piano fall on top of you
McKayla: Oh great....that's JUST what I wanted to hear....but can't they knock you out or something?
Maggie: Oh yeah I forgot about that stuff
McKayla: So it won't be THAT bad....will it?
Maggie: well I always wait too long to get the anesthetic...that’s when it’s bad
McKayla: How long is too long? I need to know these things mom.
Maggie: That’s the catch...you never know!
McKayla: Oh great...you look like you're in pain...I just wish I could help you.
Maggie: Watch the boys...that will help Phillip and me
McKayla: Of course I will mom, you know that. Maybe if I rub your stomach it will help...do you think? Like a bad tummy ache?
Maggie: No...nothing helps...its like an illness with no cure...at least for the time being
*Phillip comes back*
Phillip: they have a room for you all ready and the doctor wants you in there asap
Maggie:All right...I'm coming
Phillip: Aren't you going to sit in the wheelchair?
Maggie: No, I don't need a wheelchair, I'm fine
Phillip: USE THE WHEELCHAIR MAGGIE!
Maggie: All right all right....don't get so testy
McKayla: Good luck momma...I'll be waiting right here until the end.
Maggie: You'll be waiting a while
McKayla: Maybe later on I'll come in and visit you....make sure you're ok and not dying. If that's ok with you of course.
Maggie: You know what you said about helping?
McKayla: Yeah...
Maggie: Mentioning the word dying isn’t helping!
McKayla: Oh, ok....I'm sorry momma. You'll be fine!
Maggie: That’s better
McKayla: Just hang in there! And remember to breathe!
Maggie: I may be ditzy but I’m not that dumb! *laughs*
Phillip: Are you ready for this Maggie?
Maggie: I have 2 kids...of course!
Phillip: I think you're more ready for this than I am
Maggie: So do I
Phillip: But I guess you HAVE been carrying it around for 9 months...oh goodness Maggie, we haven't even picked out a NAME
Maggie: we'll think of something...we don’t even know what we're having yet
Phillip: I know....but we don't even have any IDEAS..We're just not READY yet
Maggie: We had ideas...we were arguing about them when Sam tried to run away remember
Phillip: Yeah..but it didn't really result in anything, because we kept disagreeing
Maggie: I have an idea
Phillip: What?
Maggie: You'll see
Phillip: Why can't you just tell me?
Maggie: Because...you're funny when your panicking and im enjoying this
Phillip: Oh great...thanks
Maggie: No problem
Phillip: Can't you PLEASE tell me? Or I'll leave...and you'll be ALONE!
Maggie: No I won’t...McKayla would come...you wouldn’t leave anyway
Phillip: Oh but I would!
Maggie: riight
Phillip: ok bye *he walks out and Maggie just looks stunned....5 secinds later he speed walks back in* ok i couldnt leave im sorry!
Maggie: See...I knew you wouldn't leave.
Phillip: It's not that I WOULDN'T, it's just that I figured I should be here
Maggie: Did anyone ever tell you you're a horrible liar
Phillip: So what if I am....I don't care! TELL ME YOUR IDEA OR I REALLY AM LEAVING!
*Phillip turns to exit the room and very slowly starts walking out*
Maggie: How can I tell you if we dont know if its a boy or a girl yet?
Phillip: Just tell me your idea....PLEASE sweetheart..it's driving me insane. Now you know I won't leave you, because I don't think that's right, but I just really want to know.
Maggie: We could combine the names we picked...one of yours one of mine...first name, middle name
Phillip: Oh hunny! That's a great idea *kisses her* I would have never thought of that!
Maggie: I know...that’s why I did
Phillip: You're fantastic...you know that? And I love you so much
Maggie: What’s with people getting mushy on me today, huh?
Phillip: I'm not getting mushy, I'm just telling you that I love you! Is that so wrong for a man to tell his wife?
Maggie: When shes in labor yes
Phillip: And why's that?
Maggie: i dunno...just because!
Phillip: I see
Maggie: where is that stupid doctor...i want this to be over
Phillip: I don't think he can do anything
Maggie: yes he can...he can tell me how long we have to wait! and if he values his life at all he will say not long
Phillip: Oh Maggie...just calm down!
Maggie: calm down...CALM DOWN?! listen mister when you are the one lying here in pain, then you can tell me to calm down
Phillip: You know that I would trade you places in a second, just so you wouldn't have to feel an ounce of pain!
Maggie: oh you'll be in pain...not right now but you will when this baby actually wants to be born
Phillip: Is that a threat...or a promise? *kisses her on the forehead*
Maggie: both
Phillip: Oh really?
Maggie: uh huh...cause when you gimme your hand, the jaws of life wont even be enough to seperate us. OK?
Phillip: I'll just make sure not to give you my hand then!
Maggie: you will...if not i'll punch you now which would you rather have?
Phillip: As far as I'm concerned.....you can do both
Maggie: this is going to be fun...
*Arnold and Sam walk in*
Sam: hi Momma how do you feel?
Maggie: *puts on fake smile* Oh I'm fine...
Arnold: Hey dad *goes over and fake punches him* How are things?
Phillip: Fine...just biding our time
Arnold: Thats good...well Sam just wanted to say hi...cmon Sam lets leave them alone
*as they exit the doctor walks in*
Doctor: hi boys
Arnold: Doc, give them something they say they are fine but they look awful! *leaves*
Doctor: cute kid
Maggie and Phillip: thank you
Doctor: Ok...let's check you out Maggie
Maggie: I would appreciate that
Phillip: I'll wait outside
Doctor: Well Maggie...you're about 7 centimeters, it shouldn't be too long now! Mr. Drummond, you can come back in now.
Maggie: Thank you doctor...do you think I could get some medication?
Doctor: I'll send someone in
Maggie: Thank you
Phillip: Yes, thank you
Maggie: why did you say thank you?
Phillip: For giving you some medication...because you NEED it...
Maggie: *sarcastically* well that’s a sweet thing to say!!
Phillip: I meant that in the best possible way, I just don't want you to be in pain any longer than you have to be!
Maggie: uh huh...
Phillip: Did the doctor say how much longer it would be?
Maggie: Not long
Phillip: Well good...
Maggie: You’re telling me
Phillip: Maggie, I know I haven't been the BEST throughout this whole ordeal, the labor or the pregnancy, but I just want you to know that I love you and I admire you for going through this!
Maggie: Thank you.... now, lets make a decision right now
Phillip: About what?
Maggie: about the names because i cant stop thinking about it!
Phillip: All right....well let's do a girl name first....what do YOU want it to be named?
Maggie: Like I said about combining the names...you liked Michelle and I liked Lori...how about Lori Michelle?
Phillip: I like that...it has a certain ring to it!
Maggie: Now boys...
Phillip: You know Maggie, I'm going to let you pick this one out. I think it only fair!
Maggie: I was thinking either after you or I liked the name Zachary Ryan
Phillip: Zachary Ryan is a good name! I like it
Phillip: Out of curiosity...how did you come up with the name Sam for Sam?
Maggie: O forget actually..I think Wes picked it out
Phillip: Oh....I see.
Maggie: what do you think its going to be?
Phillip: I don't know...I'm a man, you've carried the baby for 9 months, you tell me!
Maggie: I think it’s a girl
Phillip: I love girls...I kind of hope it's a girl, we already have two boys and I just would love to have a baby girl around.
Maggie: I always wanted a little girl... I mean I loved raising Sam but I always thought about how much fun it would be to have daughter
Phillip: you mean if you actually got to raise McKayla?
Maggie: Yeah....
Phillip: Why did you give her up anyway?
Maggie: Phillip?! Your asking this now of all times?
Phillip: Oh right...I'm sorry, I'll ask you later I guess
Maggie: No it’s ok...I was 16 and I lived in a small town in Texas where stuff like that wasn't accepted...I had no choice
Maggie: PHILLIP!!!
Phillip: What?
Maggie: The baby wants to come out....NOW!
Phillip: NOW?
Maggie: YES...NOW!
Phillip: I'll go get the doctor, hold on!
Maggie: HURRY!
*Doctor comes in with Phillip*
Doctor: well I guess I should cancel the anesthesiologist
Maggie: That would be.....OWWWWWWWWWW
Doctor: Well she's definitely ready
Maggie: PHILLIP....HAND
Phillip: You want to break it all ready?
Maggie: YES!!!!!
Phillip: All right, all right
Doctor: On your next contraction Maggie....I want you to push
Maggie: All right....AHHHHHH
Phillip: I don't feel so well *passes out*
Maggie: PHILLIP!!! WAKE.....UP!!!!
Sweeti0154: Doctor: typical
Maggie: Oh yeah well he;s waking up *dumps ice pitcher on top of him*
Phillip: *wakes up with a start* WHERE AM I?
Maggie: In the....hospital!!! Now GET UP!
Phillip: OH! right
Doctor: Give me a big push Maggie..give it all you have
Maggie: What the hell do you think I’ve been doing!
Doctor: I think you can give it more
Maggie: Alright no one challenges Maggie Drummond and gets away with it ok?
Phillip: feels like im at a football game not a delivery room
Doctor: If you want this baby out....then I suggest you push!
Maggie: i know i know! Geesh he acts like I’ve never done this before
Phillip: Just do what he says and stop talking!
Sweeti0154: Maggie: *somewhat stunned* yes dear
Doctor: I think I see the head
Phillip: Well at least we're getting somewhere
Maggie: *gives Phillip a look that could kill*
Phillip: I was just teasing dear.
Doctor: One push Maggie and you should have your baby!
Maggie: ALL RIGHT!
Doctor: There you go Maggie...you have a brand new baby girl
Maggie: A GIRL? I HAVE A GIRL?
Doctor: That's what it looks like to me...unless I am mistaken!
Phillip: No sweetie, that's definitely a girl!
Maggie: Phillip...we have a baby girl!
Phillip: I know...I'm so proud of you *kisses her*
Doctor: and here she is *hands Maggie the baby* did you pick out a name yet

McKayla: No, I don't think so..unless I just got this fat from eating so much!
Maggie: *laughs* thank you darlin i needed a laugh
Sam: can I hold her now?
Maggie: Sure...Phillip, come here and give Lori to Sam...make sure he uses two hands
Sam: dont worry Momma i will
Maggie: All right...be careful!
Sam: *takes Lori* wow shes light! so why did you get so big momma?
Maggie: if i weren't so tired i'd yell at you for that!
McKayla: She got big because the baby had to grow in momma's stomach..and so it had to stretch!
Sam: oh...ok
McKayla: Ok Sam....why don't you let Arnold have a turn?
Sam: Oh all right!
McKayla: Here...give Lori to me and I'll give her to Arnold
